Being healthy you show yourselves crippled

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  رَضُوا۟ بِأَن يَكُونُوا۟ مَعَٱلْخَوَالِفِ وَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ 87  

87.  They are content that they should be with those who remained behind and their hearts are sealed, so that they apprehend not.

87.  Razuu  bi-‘any-yakuunuu  ma-‘al-khawaa-lifi  wa  tubi-‘a  ‘alaa  quluu-bihim  fahum  laa  yafqa-huun.

Commentary

When sense of the mankind becomes loyal of unreasonable wishes, then it cannot understand the actual matter. His heart is sealed. The light of wisdom cannot reach into him. It is the reason that it has been instructed strongly in Islam: Behold! Keep purified your heart from evil wishes. Their impression should not take your hearts; otherwise no truth will enter in them.

Any correct and straight forward person can never consider good to idleness, escaping from work and immortality etc. but if wickedness and bad habits have influenced one’s heart, then he remains in own persistence and wants to do as he desires.

Observe the Hypocrites of Madinah. Enmity of Islam and love of uncivilized traditions and customs have infected their veins and muscles. Therefore they do not feel shame from many evil and mean habits.

It is commanded: If you wish to see the example of duly corrupted hearts and being useless of the wisdom, then you should observe the condition of these hypocrites. They do not feel bashfulness in falling under the category of weak and indolent people, women and children. But they are very happy due to sitting at home, because it is acceptable for them to be cowardly and impotent, and they do not like going forth by the Muslims. This enmity against the Muslims have made room in their hearts in such a way that no good advice can enter in them. Wise people understand it that they have lost their senses, but they have become totally careless.

It is such a thing as after filling enmity against Islam in their hearts, now the covers of the hearts have been sealed. Now neither that enmity can come out and nor any good advice can enter in their hearts. It is also understandable from this verse that if something wrong has sat in the heart, then the mankind does not remain able to understand the matters of wisdom. So it is necessary to save the heart from bad companies and evil effects, otherwise there is no doubt in its destruction.

86.  And when a Surah is revealed (which saith): Believe in Allah and strive along with His Messenger, the men of wealth among them still ask leave of thee and say: Suffer us to be with those who sit (at home).

Commentary

It is a narration about common behavior of the Hypocrites of Madinah. They could not succeed due to the behavior of the Muslims, which they adopted with them in those days, according to the Instructions of Holy Qur’an, otherwise they would have stopped the Muslims, from going forth, by entrapping them in their own wrangling.

The verses of Holy Qur’an guided the Muslims that they should increase their strength and community sincerely, not be deceived from apparent prosperity, pomp and show of the hypocrites. They should remain busy always in planning “how to make and keep them weak and unarmed”. Otherwise it manifests from their character and conduct that they will try their best that the Muslims should not get strong.

Then once again, the intention has been drawn in this verse, particularly towards their public behavior. It is commanded: Apparently those people are on very intimate terms with Muslims. But when they are asked to do some work, then they evade of various sorts and try to run away.

When a command is revealed in any Surah: Believe in Allah Almighty wholeheartedly, help the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) in every condition when He comes out for fighting against the enemy for self protection, and sacrifice your lives and wealth for safety of the Muslims along with Him (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). Then at that time you see, powerful, strong and rich people of them come sobbing and making their mouth like wretch people and say: What should we do now? We have been suffering from such condition that we are unable to go forth and participate in the battle along with you at this time. We wish wholeheartedly that we should partake, but the circumstances do not permit us. Therefore, kindly grant us leave; that we should be left behind along with those, who are being left behind unwanted and who are unable to move; as children, women, crippled and old people, whereas these all are their false pretexts. In fact, they do not believe in Allah Almighty and consider nothing to His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam).

Commentary

Nowadays, dishonest and fraudulent people are successful everywhere, because they are rich, and they have all signs of wealth i.e. large bungalows, cars, servants, companions, dear ones and children in abundance. People consider that if they will not agree to them then where they will live. Their influence has been spread in every direction. Rulers, administers of the empire and police etc. are under their control and they reap advantage by means of bribery commonly. They welcome earnestly and courteously to their supporters also. In short, it seems that they dwell in the world as they have been living in the Paradise. Observing this all, one can think: Their way of life would be good as they are seen prosperous.

It has been narrated in this verse that one should not be deceived from their apparent pomp and show. All that glitters is not gold. Their wealth and prosperity are only for ostentation. Actually their wealth, their children and those people who are under their influence, are misfortune for their life. Their friends and lovers are like kites and crows for them, and whenever they find any chance, they pinch and eat; even their flesh pieces. They snatch money from them by threatening in many ways. They seek and find their internal secrets and being acquainted, they threaten them to disclose their secrets. And whatever they wish, take from them. And for keeping their reputation firm, they are compelled to please them in each condition. On the other side, thieves, robbers and swindlers lie in wait for them every time.

At last, if their personal life is studied, nothing is visible save heap of confusion, anxiety and uneasiness. They are upset due to thought of self protection and safety of own wealth, and feel as they are being eaten by weevil (of such thoughts). They are so much engaged in the worldly matters that they have no spare time for thinking a while and performing for the next life also. In such condition of ignorance and worldly disputes, they have been dying. And their name is entered in the list of Infidels at the time of death. Such kind of life should not be worth considering for any individual.

There is a lesson in this verse for those people, who begin to talk in favor of wealthy vagabonds being awe-stricken from them.

Treatment of the corrupters

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَىٰٓ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَىٰ قَبْرِهِۦٓ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَمَاتُوا۟ وَهُمْ فَٰسِقُونَ 84  

84.  And never (O Muhammad) pray for one of them who dieth, nor stand by his grave. Lo! they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, and they died while they were evildoers.

84.  Wa  laa  tusalli  ‘alaaa  ‘aha-dim-minhum-maata  ‘abadanw-wa  laa  taqum  ‘alaa qabrih.  ‘Inna-hum  kafaruu  Billaahi  wa  Rasuu-liHii  wa  maatuu  wa  hum  faasi-quun.

Commentary

It is commanded that you should keep only necessary friendly intercourse with the mischievous, wicked and hypocrites, so that they may know clearly that, according to the community’s view, their behavior is extremely objectionable, and they should correct their acts by feeling their errors. If someone of them dies, then O Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)! You should never cause to say funereal prayer for him and nor should you stand by his grave, because doing so, some inclination towards them becomes manifest.

The Muslims, as a community, should practice some unkindness with them. Therefore their religious leader should not cause to say funeral prayer for any such person, about whom he knows that he did not care for the Law conformable to Shara’. His relatives can bury him after causing to say his funeral prayer at their own.

Main reason of it is that those people used to deny Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) openly and fearlessly, and in the condition of disobedience, they died. They could not repent. The community should have no connection with such people.

It has passed earlier that Abdullah bin Obayy had died before revelation of this verse and the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) caused to say his funeral prayer; keeping common human sympathy in view, as well as bestowed His (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) shirt also for his shroud, and at the time of his burial, prayed for him too.

But when this verse was revealed then neither He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) participated in the funeral ceremony of any hypocrite and nor in his shrouding. The names of the hypocrites were told by the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) to Huzayfah (May Allah be pleased with him). So Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) used to observe participation of Huzayfah (May Allah be pleased with him) in the funeral ceremony of any person that if he {Huzayfah (May Allah be pleased with him)} is present there then He {Umar (May Allah be pleased with him)} used to participate, otherwise no.

Nowadays this matter has become complicated that how the vagabonds and immoral people should be straightened. For this purpose, making laws and ordinary instructions for being careful from such people is useless. Its treatment is that; which can be understood from this verse. That is to say; public which abide by the law, should break off all social connections from them, so that being helpless through boycott, they may be compelled to correct themselves or be ruined by fighting. There is no other treatment more useful than shutting out social and commercial intercourse. Nowadays, friendly intercourse is kept up equally with the vicious people, so their strength has been increasing.

فَإِن رَّجَعَكَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَىٰ طَآئِفَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ فَٱسْتَـْٔذَنُوكَ لِلْخُرُوجِ فَقُل لَّن تَخْرُجُوا۟ مَعِىَ أَبَدًا وَلَن تُقَٰتِلُوا۟ مَعِىَ عَدُوًّا إِنَّكُمْ رَضِيتُم بِٱلْقُعُودِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَٱقْعُدُوا۟مَعَ ٱلْخَٰلِفِينَ 83

83.  If Allah bring thee back (from the campaign) unto a party of them and they ask of thee leave to go out (to fight), then say unto them: Ye shall never more go out with me nor fight with me against a foe. Ye were content with sitting still the first time; so sit still, with those who remain behind.

83.  Fa-‘irraja-‘akAllaahu  ‘ilaa  taaa-‘ifatim  minhum  fas-ta’-zanuuka  lil-khuruuji  fa-qul-lan  takh-rujuu  ma-‘iya  ‘abadanw-wa  lan-  tuqaa-tiluu  ma-‘iya  ‘aduwwaa.  ‘Innakum  raziitum-  bilqu-‘uudi  ‘aw-wala  marratin-  faq-‘uduu  ma-‘al  khaalifiin.

Commentary

When any big work is required to be performed for welfare of the nation, generally it happens that some people from us are inclined to oppose it. If we really wish to do that work, then its best method is that we should never quarrel with the opponents, but try to bring together our fellow-sufferers and supporters, and increase our collective strength. Leave the opponents at their circumstances and let them do whatever they wish.

It has been described in this verse that if, after opposing first time, they want to keep very intimate terms with you, for their timely interest, then in the next time, you should be very careful, from having trust in them and being mixed with them. If your companions are strong then this behavior is sufficient to shake their foundation.

It is commanded that you must neither say to them something at your own and nor hear, but continue to strengthen and unite your group every time. But O Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)! Whenever, if you go unto them by chance, and their some intelligent people welcome You after observing that the effort of the Muslims is successful, and they ask of Your permission to go out for fighting along with the Muslims, then You should say to them: “When there was occasion and necessity of your joining us, at that time, you sat still along with those who were sitting still and remained behind. Now, while we are not indigent of yours then why are you going to benefit us by suffering from trouble unnecessarily? Our purpose will be effected without you now”. It is better to be careful from deceitful people in such a way that one should not be entangled with them, but do one’s own duty.

Commentary

It becomes most difficult to overpower the deceitful people, that is to say, internal Hypocrites of the country, particularly at that time when external enemies uplift them. They claim that original well-wishers of the country are only they. And the country can revive at such time when their government is established.

The Hypocrites of Madinah were the people of such kind. They wished to finish the Muslims by conspiring with the external enemies, whereas they were their nation-fellow and country-fellow. But the Muslims had Unseen Support and they had to bruise their country’s external enemies. The Battle of Tabuuk was a preface of it that they should produce form of safety from foreigners/external enemies.

It was not acceptable to the Hypocrites. They were desirous of opposing to it that “the Syrians should attack on our country and ruin the Muslims, and then we should prosper, and with their strength; we sing for joy, being contented and independent.

At that time, Islam produced such a treatment for those Hypocrites, which is not only being accepted, nowadays, but being followed by the whole world. Such treatment was that the Hypocrites should be left at their own condition, and the well-wishers and sincere people should be united on a center. Next time, the Hypocrites will sit down automatically.

It is commanded that they don’t want to go forth for battle due to hot weather, just leave them and inform the sincere people that it is the right time of sacrificing financially as well as lives. Be ready and say to Hypocrites: You just stay escaped from summer season and take rest in shelters. Keep your wealth in safe custody. Neither we need your wealth and nor your lives, but remember it that this comfort is ordinary. In the next, you would have to suffer from its retribution. Today, which laughter you have on your lips, it is just for a short time. In the next life, you will have nothing except crying due to its retaliation. But the heat! O enemies of the sense! The heat of the Fire of the Hell is much more intense than this heat. This heat is ordinary, it will be finished, but that is perpetual which will never leave you.

From this, it is known that well-doers should plan to increase their strength. Quarreling with opponents is nothing but just wastage of time. If the sincere people are united then the Hypocrites will sit down at their own.
