The Way of Deliverance

Suratun-Nisaaa’  (The Women) – Chapter – 4)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

 إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُوا۟ وَأَصْلَحُوا۟ وَٱعْتَصَمُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَأَخْلَصُوا۟ دِينَهُمْ لِلَّهِفَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَعَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَسَوْفَ يُؤْتِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا 146

مَّا يَفْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ بِعَذَابِكُمْ إِن شَكَرْتُمْ وَءَامَنتُمْ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ شَاكِرًا عَلِيمًا (147

146.  Save those who repent and amend and hold fast to Allah and make their religion pure for Allah (only); those are with the believers. And Allah will bestow on the believers an immense reward. 147.  What concern hath Allah for your punishment if ye are thankful (for His Mercies) and believe (in Him)? And Allah is ever Responsive, Aware.

146.  ‘Illal-laziina  taabuu  wa  ‘aslahuu  wa’-tasamuu  Billaahi  wa  ‘akh-lasuu  diinahum  Lillaahi  fa-‘ulaaa-‘ika  ma-‘al-Mu’-miniin.  Wa  saw-fa  yu’-Tillaahul-Mu’-miniina  ‘ajran  ‘azii-maa. 147.  Maa  yaf-‘aLUllaahu  bi-‘azaabikum  ‘in-  shakartum  wa  ‘aamantum.  Wa  kaanAllaahu  Shaakiran  ‘Aliimaa.

    Commentary

It was told in the previous lesson that the hypocrites are impostors. Their ignorance has been increased so much that they imagine that they would deceive also Allah Almighty. Choose not them as your friends instead of believers, nor keep any other relation with them. Allah Almighty has loosened their cord, so they think that He does not know that, which is in their hearts, otherwise He had punished them immediately. Due to this looseness, they have been deceived, and the way, upon which they have been moving, will lead and put them in the lowest depths of the Fire of Hell.

There is only one form of escaping from anguish for the disbelievers that they should give up their false profession, double-entendre-ness, refrain from evil-deeds and repent, amend their character and not for to be seen of people but hold fast to Allah Almighty, and make their religion pure for Him only, and believe that only He is their Defender and Supporter in each type of disaster and trouble. If they will do so then those are with the believers and their end will be with them.

Then it was commanded that shortly Allah Almighty will bestow on the believers an immense reward. They will be given success in the world as well as ease and comfort on the Day of Resurrection. They will get victory upon the disbelievers in the world and their enemies will lean before them, and after death; Allah Almighty will bestow on them His Blessings in the Hereafter, about which He has promised with them according to Holy Qur’aan.

After that it has been described that neither Allah Almighty has any need to punish you, nor He wishes to keep you in trouble and pain unjustly. Actually what do you suffer, is only due to your own wrong manners of deeds. It is necessary for saving yourselves from the torment that you should be grateful to Allah Almighty, consider those favors and comfort from Him, which you enjoy, and prostrate before Him with devotion. Secondly, have full trust in Him. In short; unavoidable conditions for pardon are repent, amend the affairs, holding fast to the Rope of Allah Almighty, making the religion pure for Allah Almighty only, living as thankful to Him and having belief in His Nature, Virtues, Omnipotence and Wisdom.

Friendship of disbelievers

Suratun-Nisaaa’  (The Women) – Chapter – 4)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَن تَجْعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطَٰنًا مُّبِينًا (144

إِنَّٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ فِى ٱلدَّرْكِ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُمْ نَصِيرًا (145

144.  O ye who believe! Choose not disbelievers (your) friends in place of believers. Do you desire that you should give Allah a clear warrant against you? 145.  Lo! The hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire, and thou wilt find no helper for them-

144.  Yaaa-‘ayyu-hallaziina  ‘aamanuu  laa  tattakhizul-kaafiriina  ‘awli-yaaa-‘a  min-duu-nil-Mu’-miniin.  ‘A-turiiduuna  ‘an-taj-‘aluu  Lillaahi  ‘alaykum  sul-taanam-mubiinaa.  145.  ‘Innal-Munaafiqiina  fid-darkil-‘asfali  minan-Naar.  Wa  lan  tajida  lahum  nasiiraa.

    Commentary

Sul-taan – (warrant, power, mastery, proof, charge, accusation and such reason, by which other person is seized.

After mentioning all wicked tricks of the hypocrites, now it has been instructed that the Muslims should not keep association with them. This command has already been conveyed twice earlier. Again, it is being repeated that due to friendship and social intercourse with such bad and wicked persons, you will gain nothing. If despite their vicious deeds, you will make them friends, they will harm to other Muslims more on this plea. So, you should keep yourselves away from them and do not become base of loss for other Muslims, otherwise very patent and strong reason will be set up to punish you too by Allah Almighty.

Then; it has been described that these people are very dangerous and bad, more than infidels. They will be admitted in the lowest depths of the Hell, where besides those punishments, which have been fixed for the upper stages, their torment will be separate. And aggregate of those entire anguishes will be their lot. At that time; no trickery of theirs will be useful. No matter of anybody is hidden from Allah Almighty, how will they deceive or cheat Him? They will flatter the Angels (peace be upon them), who are guards of the Hell, “Relieve us only for a while” but the Angels (peace be upon them) neither listen to anyone, nor look at any person. They mind their own business. There will be no form of exemption from torment for them.

For the Believers, mention of good retaliation of their good deeds has been made in the Holy Qur’an again and again as well as mutinous and evil-doings of infidels and hypocrites. Allah Almighty has described repeatedly their punishment and bad consequences for admonition and precept of human beings. This matter needs particular attention that if an awful doom has been mentioned for the infidels, then a painful doom has also been described for the hypocrites. Likewise, if for the infidels, is punishment of the Hell, then news for the hypocrites is the torment in darkil-‘asfali  (the lowest depths) of the Hell.

Knowing Hypocrites

Suratun-Nisaaa’  (The Women) – Chapter – 4)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَٰدِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ قَامُوا۟ كُسَالَىٰيُرَآءُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا (142

مُّذَبْذَبِينَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ لَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَلَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ سَبِيلًا (143

142.  Lo! The hypocrites seek to beguile Allah, but it is He Who beguileth them. When they stand up to worship they perform it languidly and to be seen of men, and are mindful of Allah but little. 143.  Swaying between this (and that), (belonging) neither to these nor to those. And he whom Allah causeth to go astray, thou (O Muhammad) will not find a way for him.

142.  ‘Innal-Munaa-fiqiina  yu-khaadi-‘uunAllaaha  wa  Huwa  khaadi-‘uhum.  Wa  ‘izaa   qaamuuu   ‘ilas-Salaati  qaamuu  kusaalaa, yuraaa-‘uunan-naasa  wa  laa  yazkuruunAllaaha  ‘illaa  qaliilaa. 143.  Muzab-zabiina  bayna  zaalik,-  laaa  ‘ilaa  haaa-‘ulaaa-‘i  wa  laaa  ‘ilaa  haaa-‘ulaaa’.  Wa  many-yuzli-Lillaahu  falan-  tajida  lahuu  Sabiilaa.

    Commentary

Yu-khaadi-‘uuna – (they beguile), khaadi-‘uhum – (He will beguile them), both words are from the same origin. Base of these words is khadaaa’, which means ‘to beguile, to cheat, to deceive, to exercise cleverness’. Its aim is that the hypocrites deceive God Almighty and His servants with their own vanity assurance, while they have deceived themselves but they do not feel. God will reply them about this deceiving.

Kusaalaa – (languidly), it is plural of kaslaan, which has been derived from kasala, means laziness, idleness and indolence. Kaslaan is that person, who works with indolence, like a tired, and that, who does not work actively and with love.

Yuraaa-‘uuna – (to be seen of), it is from riaaa’, which means to work as for to be seen of the people. These persons perform the worship and offer the prayer only for the purpose that others consider them worshippers.

  

Muzab-zabiina – (swaying between), it has been made from zabzabah, which means “Swaying between this and that, belonging neither to these nor to those”.

Following five outward indications of the hypocrites have been described in these verses:-

1.    They have fallen themselves in the deception, but think that they deceive Allah Almighty.

2.    They perform worship but languidly, like tired persons and with indolence.

3.    There is no sincerity in their prayers. They offer prayer only to be seen of the people.

4.    They seldom remember their Creator (Allah Almighty).

5.    They remain lingered between the belief and the infidelity. Neither they embrace belief heartily nor can they join the infidelity clearly.

Doubled-faced likeness of Hypocrites

Suratun-Nisaaa’  (The Women) – Chapter – 4)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَرَبَّصُونَ بِكُمْ فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ فَتْحٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ قَالُوٓا۟أَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ وَإِن كَانَ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ نَصِيبٌ قَالُوٓا۟ أَلَمْ نَسْتَحْوِذْ عَلَيْكُمْ وَنَمْنَعْكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِوَلَن يَجْعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلًا (141

141.  Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, they say: Were we not with you? And if the disbelievers meet with a success, they say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers? Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection. And Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.

141.  ‘Allaziina  yatarabba-suuna  bikum.  Fa-‘in  kaana  lakum  fat-hum-minallaahi  qaaluu  ‘alam  nakum-ma-‘akum.  Wa  ‘in-  kaana  lil-kaafiriina  nasii-bun,  qaaluu  ‘alam  nastah-wiz  ‘alaykum  wa  namna’-kum-minal-Mu’-miniin.  Fallaahu  yah-kumu   baynakum  Yawmal-Qiyaamah.  Wa  lany-yaj-‘alAllaahu  lil-kaafiriina  ‘alal-Mu’miniina  sabiilaa.

    Commentary

Nasii-bun  - here its object is ‘the part of the battle’ that is to say; success.

Nastah-wiz – (we had the mastery of you), it has been made from ‘istih-waazun, which means ‘to encircle, to Encompass all around’. Here it means, “We protected you”.

Sabiilaa – (way), here it aims ‘superiority, overcoming, hold, power, opportunity’ etc.

Allah Almighty commands that the hypocrites keep observing your circumstances. There is no hope from them that they would become your followers and true hearten companions, and cooperate with you in grief and ease. They make friends only after looking opportunity and their main object is worldly advantage. They are unable to see above it. Likewise their condition is, “When you would be fighting with your enemies, then seemingly they would be staying side by side with you and would use to observe the blooming of the battle”.

If you got victory, they would reach you at once and would begin gaining honor, “We have joined you and have lived together with you in the battle smoothly”. Like this, they will make known to you their records of stirring deeds, so that you consider their partnership in victory and give also them a portion from the spoils (maale ghaniimat). And if (God forbid) you are defeated and the enemy succeeded, then they will leave you and join your enemies. And to please them, they will make up stories, “We were with the Muslims for the purpose that we might stop their advance towards you. We had encompassed everywhere around you, so that the Muslims might not come up you. Therefore, your victory is due to us and we are equal partners of that, which you have gained in the battle”.

Then it has been described that such time-serving persons bring about their purposes by any means in the world, and sometimes the people do not understand their tricks and they are deceived. But on the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will be Justice among you and them.
