Basic
principles and rules of Islam have been manifested very beautifully
in this Chapter. Some of them have been appended below, so that those should be
studied thoughtfully once again; keeping these points in view, and till the
time those are not understood thoroughly, one should continue trying to
understand them, and then explanation of such hints should be searched during
daily recitation, with which the entire Glorious Qur’an is
full.
1.
The heavens, the earth
and all those things, which these contain, have been created by Allah Almighty
and He is Who brings them up. Therefore, the human being should bow only before
Him, neither there should be any hope and nor any fear from any one else except
Him.
2.
Noble Qur’an is
the last Scripture from Allah Almighty and it contains the entire laws and
complete code of life for all the people until expiry of the entire world, for
every time. There is a great danger for them, who disobey and do not follow its
Revelations. To frighten from the result of disobedience, the Messenger of
Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has
been commanded by revealing upon Him this Word: Go and deliver Its Message to all
people, so that they should go on the Straight Path having fear of God and be
saved from the ruin. This very duty rests also upon the nation of the Last
Messenger (Muslim Ummah).
3.
Holy Qur’an preaches
for that same Religion, which was established in the beginning of human life,
and the Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon Them) used to come during every
time and at every place for spreading and teaching its regulations and
instructions. In this connection, Holy Qur’an is the last
Scripture, revealed for the guidance of entire mankind, and until the world is
firm; complete guidance exists in It.
4.
None has any power to
make the Divine Law and establish It; that is to say; the Religion. Neither any
individual can fix any deed compulsory (either for himself or for others)
according to own desires and nor can forbid any one from any work. Its straight
and simple meaning is that “Making anything lawful or forbidden is in the Power
of Allah Almighty”, no mankind can interfere in this matter. However, those people
who have perfect knowledge of the Religion and who have sincerity and are pure
from selfishness, they can continue the Commands of Allah Almighty in
reasonable form according to occasion, on the condition that. Islamic spirit
stands firm and no interference takes place in good rites.
5.
It is the Islamic spirit
that everything should be for the sake of Allah Almighty and for acquiring His
Willingness. None should reap any kind of unlawful advantage from any other.
Neither any one should trouble and nor compel any other. Take care of Justice
in every matter and be saved from oppression. Any such work should not be
committed, due to which, any person is somehow tortured or injured.
Good Rites are
those deeds, which have been determined by the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) Himself and which are ongoing
continuously with effect from fourteen centuries, and upon which, the entire
Muslims have been acting regularly in every time. That is to say; form, time,
terms and conditions, cleanliness and method of the prayer, number of rak-‘aat (in
standing condition for recitation of a portion of the Holy Qur’an, Rakuu’
(bowing head and upper part of body in prayer), Sajuud (bowing
so as to touch the ground with the forehead in adoration), and Qa’-dah –
sitting position for reciting Tashah-had), measurement of Zakaah (poor-due)
and method of its payment and collection, time and method of fasting, time of
pilgrimage and its method. These four things have been running constantly. No
one has any right to change them. In the same manner, there is a standard of
morality and mutual affairs, which has been established by Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). These cannot be
changed also. Keeping regard of all these matters, those persons, who are
righteous, sincere, familiar with the law and shariah can make
timely codes of issues, upon which, shura council of alike
persons are agreed. These all matters are understandable from this verse.
