BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

 وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَلَمْ يُفَرِّقُوا۟ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَسَوْفَ يُؤْتِيهِمْ أُجُورَهُمْ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا (152

152.  And those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no distinction between any of them, unto them Allah will give their rewards. And Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Merciful.

152.  Wallaziina  ‘aamanuu  Billaahi  wa  RusuliHii  wa  lam  yufarriquu  bayna  ‘ahadim-minhum  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  sawfa  yu’-tii-him  ‘ujuu-rahum.  Wa  kaanAllaahu  Gafuurar-Rahiimaa.

    Commentary

It was discussed in the previous lesson that those people who never believe in Allah Almighty and His messengers (peace be upon them), and likewise those persons who seek to make distinction between Allah Almighty and His messengers (peace be upon them), that either they believe in Allah Almighty but do not believe in His messengers (peace be upon them), or believe in some and disbelieve in other messengers (peace be upon them), like this they seek to choose a new way in between that neither they have perfect belief and nor perfect infidelity. Such entire people are in the same category i.e. all are openly disbelievers.

They will be considered believers at such time when they will believe in Allah Almighty and His all messengers (peace be upon them) and do not disbelieve even in anyone of them. If they disbelieved in anyone of them, they will become disbelievers. Whether they use to say, “We believe in God and also believe in His messengers (peace be upon them), but they do not believe in the Last Messenger Muhammad Mustafaa (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Therefore; in accordance with the decision of Holy Qur’aan, they cannot be included in the believers.

The claim of the People of the Scripture that, “We shall not be punished. Our Messengers (peace be upon them) will save us” is useless. Because That God (Allah Almighty), Who sent earlier Moses (peace be upon them) and then Jesus Christ (peace be upon them) as Messengers of their times, now at the end of all, He has sent Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) as a last Messenger till the Day of Resurrection and bestowed on Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) the Last Word i.e. Holy Qur’aan. Those people who will not believe in His Apostleship, about them, it is decision of Holy Qur’aan that believing in Allah Almighty and His previous Messengers (peace be upon them) only will not be useful for them.

It has been described in this verse that only those persons are rightful to be called believers who believe in Allah Almighty and His entire Messengers (peace be upon them). For them; there are very grand and noble future rewards. The promises which have been mentioned in the Holy Qur’aan for them, those all will be fulfilled. The mercy and forgiveness of Allah Almighty is ready every time for them. In the Day of Resurrection, complete rest and unlimited comfort will be attainable by them.

It is very clear from this verse that Allah Almighty has sent His Messengers in every nation and every reign for the guidance of human beings. Every nation is required to believe in the Messenger of her era and all Messengers; prior to Him (peace be upon them), it is incumbent and necessary for all nations. Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is the Messenger for the present time. It is impossible to be saved without having belief in Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

Perfect infidelity

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

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

 إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْفُرُونَ بِٱللَّهِوَرُسُلِهِۦ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَن يُفَرِّقُوا۟ بَيْنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَيَقُولُونَ نُؤْمِنُ بِبَعْضٍ وَنَكْفُرُ بِبَعْضٍ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَّخِذُوا۟ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلًا (150

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ حَقًّا وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا (151

150.  Lo! Those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers, and seek to make distinction between Allah and His messengers, and say: We believe in some and disbelieve in others, and seek to choose a way in between-  151.  Such are disbelievers in truth; and for disbelievers We have prepared a shameful doom.

150.  ‘Innal-laziina  yakfuruuna  Billaahi  wa  RusuliHii  wa  yurii-duuna  ‘any-yufarriquu  bay-nAllaahi  wa  RusuliHii  wa  yaquu-luuna  nu’-minu  biba’-zinw-wa  nakfuru  biba’-zinw-wa  yurii-duuna  ‘any-yattakhizuu  bayna  zaalika  sabiilaa. 151.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ika  humul-kaafi-ruuna haqqaa.  Wa  ‘a’-tadNaa  lil-kaafiriina  ‘azaabam-muhiinaa.

    Commentary

Yurii-duuna – this word has been made from ‘iraadah, which means ‘to wish, to seek, to plan, to mean, to intend’. Here it aims ‘they seek’.  

Muhiinan – (shameful), it is from ‘ahaanat, which means ‘to abase, to insult’ i.e. that doom will make them abject and contemptible.

It was directed earlier that you cannot correct anyone by abusing or reproaching him/her. There is a risk in it that on the contrary; that person will become your enemy. However, it is not unreasonable for that person to reproach the tormentor/ oppressor, who is troubled. Decidedly if he/she has patience also, then it is a goodness, and if says a good word as retaliation of badness, then it will be a great goodness. And if he/she forgives the tormentor/oppressor, then Allah Almighty will give him/her its reward and forgive his/her sins.

Again; condition of those disbelievers has been described in these verses, and because maximum hypocrites were either Jews of Madinah or those people who had deep association with them, so in the description of hypocrites, the Jews have been mentioned, but name of anyone out of them has not been disclosed. After telling about some deeds, the order has been caused to hear. They should ponder about themselves, upon whom this description comes fit, and if they wish to be correct, they should act upon these instructions, otherwise they will be punished due to their wicked deeds.

It has been described that those people who do not believe in either Allah Almighty and His Messengers (peace be upon them) or believe in Allah Almighty but do not believe in His Messengers (peace be upon them), or believe in some and disbelieve in others and they want to choose a new way in between the Belief and the Infidelity, they should hear carefully with open ears that there is no doubt in their infidelity. While they are infidels, they shall taste the torment, because Allah Almighty has already prepared a shameful doom for the disbelievers, which will not leave them without disgracing and abasing. Only believing in God Almighty has no reality without having belief in the last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon Him) and acting upon His (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon Him) Sayings.

Way of correction

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

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

  لَّا يُحِبُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْجَهْرَ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ إِلَّا مَن ظُلِمَوَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا (148  

إِن تُبْدُوا۟ خَيْرًا أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ أَوْ تَعْفُوا۟ عَن سُوٓءٍ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا قَدِيرًا (149

148.  Allah loveth not the utterance of harsh speech save by one who hath been wronged. And Allah is ever Hearer, Knower. 149.  If ye do good openly or keep it secret, or forgive evil, lo! Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Powerful.

148.  LAA  YUHIBBULLAAHUL-jahra  bissuuu-‘i  minal-qawli  ‘illaa  man-  zulim.  Wa  kaanAllaahu  Samii-‘an  ‘Aliimaa. 149.  ‘In-  tubduu  khayran  ‘aw  tukh-fuuhu  ‘aw  ta’-fuu  ‘an-  suuu-‘in-  fa-‘innAllaaha  kaana  ‘afuwwan-  Qadiiraa.

    Commentary

Jahra – (to utter loudly, to disclose).

Tubduu – (do openly), it is from ‘abdaaa’, which means ‘doing some work openly, manifest’.

Tukh-fuuhu – (keep it secret), it is from ‘akhfaa, which means ‘secrecy, concealment’.

Ta’-fuu – (Forgive it), it is from ‘ufuu. Ma-‘aaf and ma-‘aafii all are from the same origin, which means ‘to forgive, to pardon, to excuse’. ‘Afuw-wun is also from it, which means ‘Forgiving, who excuses’.  

‘Al-jahra  bissuuu-‘i  minal-qawli – (to utter the harsh speech), to describe the badness of anyone openly before the people or to say such a thing about any person, which is a scandal, an infamy for him/her.

Allah Almighty has manifested very clearly this reality that He does not like to disclose the badness of any mankind. It is evident that here it does not mean that this description is about ‘false accusation or calumny, but it aims only ‘badness’, proclamation of which has been forbidden. There is possibility of spreading the badness additionally due to its disclosure and public exposure. If we shall mention the badness of any person in his/her absence, that will be backbiting, detraction. If we shall say in front of that person, that will become cause of cruelty. Only the tyrannized person has right that he/she can speak against the tyrant and proclaim about his evils and badness.

As far as about the goodness, there is choice, either you may hide or disclose it, because due to its disclosure, you will persuade others for goodness and due to its concealment, hypocrisy /pretense will not born into you. At the end, it is commanded that if you forgive the badness, that is better. Allah Almighty has Power over entire affairs Himself and is Forgiving. If He forgives, in spite of being Powerful, then why do you not do so?

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.
