Here we should stop awhile and
think upon that, what would we have to learn from which had been being
described in the previous verses. At the time of revelation of these verses,
the rich people of Makkah had laid down terror on the poor and
insolvent people, and it was a way to put the society that the standard of
honor and nobility had become the wealth and property. The rich people wished
to keep the other people under their control duly pressed and drive them in
accord with their own command. Condition of other countries outside the Arab
was worse than them. All human beings were actually slaves and maids of the
rich and rulers. They used to use them entirely like animals and consider:
Pleasure and comfort is only our right, because we have all things like wealth,
property, dignity and magnificence.
Therefore, entire people are
our servants. They should move on our signals and accept that thankfully,
whatsoever we give them for eating and drinking, wear that dress, whichever we
provide them. In the Arab, this condition was a little less than other parts of
the world, however it was.
The aim of Islam was to
establish the equality among the entire humankind, so it was incumbent to lead
the people in such a way in the beginning that tyranny and oppression is
eradicated and every human being may reap the advantage from the blessings of
the world to the extent of their necessities. And all the people help him collectively
in fulfilling his requirements. None should consider any other person lower in
rank and nor anyone should be insulted or hated.
It has been instructed to the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): You have not come in
the world to serve the rich and haughty people, so you should not favor them of
any particular sort. Allah Almighty has fixed the standard of
nobility, sincerity of the heart and being thankful to Lord Almighty. These
etiquettes can be in the poor people too, so say them never ‘get out’, if they
come, thinking: what would be of Islam; Islam will be honored in the world if
the wealthy people will embrace It. “We have not set the respect of Islam
depending on any particular class of the people. Moreover, We have made Islam
the source of respect for the entire human beings”.
If the poor people will bow
towards Allah Almighty and will be His grateful servants, then they
will be certainly honored due to Islam i.e. Islam is not needy of the mankind
for own respect, but the humankind are indigent of Islam for getting real
honor.
We would have to learn from
this lesson that we should never determine the wealth and property as source of
nobility and respect. Islam has not determined collection of wealth as our mission.
Those people who have been running behind collection of the wealth, they have
been spoiling the society. That person or group of such people is enemy of the
humanity, who desires to collect much wealth and wants to become owner of
luxurious things of the world itself, and wishes other people to work on the
emphasis of his wealth, agreeably to his desire.
Moreover he is not an
independent mankind. He is a slave of his mean wishes. Original face of Islamic
Society is to console, sympathize and desire of pleasing one another mutually.
Say every person, who is seen first “’As-Salaamu- ‘Alaykum” (Peace be
unto you). Saying these words to anyone is a declaration of this wish, “I want
to see you healthy, happy, in ease and comfort”. Then this sympathy should be
proved in the form of love and sacrifice with own dealing.
