The verses and Chapters of
Holy Qur’aan used to reveal during special and proper
situations, explain and guide the Muslims suitably towards the straightway that
in which situation, what they would have to do? The Muslims of that time used
to bear in mind after hearing the Word of Allah Almighty and act upon Its
Advice. Then the revealed verse or chapter was used to put at its proper place
in the Holy Qur’aan, so that the Muslims, who would come after
them, may get guidance in their own circumstances, which make to suit the
circumstances of its time of revelation to do better for themselves, and act
according to the commands and teachings of concerning verse. They should never
do against the commands of Allah Almighty, mentioned in Holy Qur’aan and
the Sayings of His Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him), otherwise, they will be punished just like those opponents, who were
punished at that time.
The situation of that time,
when this verse was revealed, was that; for twelve years the Messenger
of Allah Almighty continued admonishing the people, caused to hear
them Holy Qur’aan and described its commandments. At that
time, the people of Makkah had been trying constantly, except those
who embraced Islam, that: As far as it may be possible, we would have to press
Islam, act ourselves against its teachings and enforce others to do so. A facsimile
of the condition of those people, which was after the preaching of twelve
years, has been explained in words, and kept in these verses of Holy Qur’aan.
And the decision, which was caused to hear in respect of them, that also exists
with it, so that the people of every time may be watchful and use to think
deeply upon their own condition: Whether; is there not the same condition as it
were at that time (during the time of revelation of this verse)? If it is, then
they should correct it immediately, otherwise they will also be given the same
punishment as those people were punished.
The condition of that time was
that the people used to listen to the Holy Qur’aan and take it
as a collection of useless fables of the old people, and prevent others from turning
their attention towards it, and they used to hate personally its way. They also
wanted to have firm hold on those habits which their ancestors had learned, and
they used to say the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
at the time of joining Him: What have you made this false procedure? (Let’s
flee to Allah). It is useless. These idols of us help us in every matter.
How can we set them aside?
Holy Qur’aan informed
the decision about them that they, the silly people, are making arrangements
for their own destruction, and do not know that they will be ruined very soon.
Since the next second year of the revelation of this verse, the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was commanded to immigrate
from Makkah to Madinah. Everyone knows, what happened
with the Makkan people after that. They were disgraced in the
world and slain, whereas, they still have to suffer the torment of the Day of
Resurrection. Now we should think: What is the condition of today’s Muslims?
