Who should be seized?

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)

إِنَّمَا ٱلسَّبِيلُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَـْٔذِنُونَكَ وَهُمْ أَغْنِيَآءُ رَضُوا۟ بِأَن يَكُونُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلْخَوَالِفِ وَطَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰقُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ 93  

93.  The way (of blame) is only against those who ask for leave of thee (to stay at home) when they are rich. They are content to be with those who remain behind, and Allah hath sealed their hearts so that they know not.

93.  ‘Inna-mas-sabiilu  ‘alal-laziina  yasta’-zinuu-naka  wa  hum  ‘agni-yaaa’.  Razuu  ‘any-yakuu-nuu  ma-‘al-kha-waalifi,  wa  taba-‘Allaahu  ‘alaa  quluu-bihim  fahum  laa  ya’-lamuun.

Commentary

It was mentioned previously that the sincere people who cannot join the Army due to any true excuse, they are actually excusable, any crime of hypocrisy or mutiny cannot be liable to come upon them. The weak, the sick and the poor people are really helpless. Their feeling of good-will will be accepted at the place of their practical participation. And they will be rewarded for their good intention. In this verse, there is mention about those people who are liable to blame of national riot and rebellion.

It is commanded that only those people will be called to account whose hearts do not have national well-wishing, and who avoid helping such people; whose hearts have been prepared for sacrificing their lives and wealth for acquiring human rights. Their saying verbally that “we are with you” is useless, because their hearts are empty from correct passion, and they are desirous of abasing their nation instead of their victory. And they are providing moral support to their enemies.

At such occasion when entire nation is ready to sacrifice it’s everything to call for the right of their life, they are content to get written their names in the list of women and crippled people. Wicked deeds of such treacherous and deceitful people cannot put them in success and honor on the Day of Resurrection, and those have repelled their hearts completely from the matters of real respect and success. Their false thoughts and evil deeds have sealed their hearts. Allah Almighty has also fixed their seal according to His Rule of Wisdom. Consequently, now there is no chance of their getting knowledge about correct and true matters. Their senses have become helpers for fulfilling their unlawful desires. Now whatever they think, that is crooked. They have gone totally astray from the Straight and Actual Path. Their selfishness does not let them see the Right.

It is known from these verses that it is duty of every sincere and straight forward person to support physically or at least morally to such nation; which has been ready to sacrifice their lives and to fight for getting their basic human rights. And this duty becomes more important when the freedom fighters have many other relationships with him also.

92.  Nor unto those whom, when they came to thee (asking) that thou shouldst mount them, thou didst tell: I cannot find whereon to mount you; they turned back with eyes flowing with tears, for sorrow that they could not find the means to spend.

Commentary

Verily an individual, who says himself Muslim, can never shirk his duty from any such movement, which has been determined compulsory by the public for their safety and development. Certainly, he will try his best for participating in it; with his life and wealth. His heart can never accept it that he should sit hidden in any corner at such occasion. And if he has neither sufficient material for joining and nor can it be attained from anywhere, then he will suffer such shock; as it can be to someone by any personal loss. The pages of world’s history are empty from providing such proof of spirit of cooperation, which is given by the Companions (May Allah be pleased with them) of God’s Last Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam).

It is commanded that some servants of God Almighty come unto You O Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) being fond of Jihad and say: We have arranged for equipment of journey according to our requirement, but it is impossible for us to arrange any horse etc. for conveyance. Please arrange to provide us any conveyance.

And when You reply them: Those all things have come in use which were deposited with Me. Now I have neither any horse and nor any camel which I may provide you for conveyance. Then hearts of those people are melancholy and sorrowful. They return disappointed with eyes flowing with tears for sorrow that – Alas! We are unable to purchase anything for our conveyance and may acquire happiness of joining Army for Jihad.

Since that journey towards Tabuuk was of very far. It was very difficult to join the Army (without conveyance) which was moving for that journey. Therefore, those people; who did neither have their conveyance and nor it could be given to them from the collected public contributions, they were excused from participation, and feelings of their hearts were considered equal to their participation.

91.  Not unto the weak nor unto the sick nor unto those who can find naught to spend is any fault (to be imputed though they stay at home) if they are true to Allah and His Messenger. Not unto the good is there any way (of blame). Allah is Forgiving, Merciful-

Commentary

There was mention in the previous verse about those people who bring forth false excuses and make untrue impostures. In this verse; it is commanded about such people; whose excuses are acceptable. Those excuses are – weakness, illness, poverty and besides this, there is one more excuse, which will be discussed in the next lesson.

It is commanded that women, children and old people are exempted due to their weakness and debility. If they do not participate in the battle, there is no objection. Like this, such people; who are sick and unable to bear physical labor, they are granted permission also. The poor people can be kept excusable too because; for the journey; there is a need of provision for the journey and weapons and equipment for the battle. Participation in war without these things is just like putting oneself in danger.

If these three kinds of people do not partake in war; then their excuses can be accepted. Verily they are unserviceable but the condition is that; they are in favor of the Muslims, and encourage them with moral support. They should persuade the healthy and rich people for participation in the Battle. They should not let disclosed by their word and work, any such matter, due to which others lose their spirit. They should prove by their conversation that they are sincere and good, and support the Muslims in all sorts; which are in their power at this stage.

Such people, who prove at their every step that they are good, are unaccountable from all charges. These entire people are included in the category of magnificent people, and a good person cannot be blamed. Their normal errors and mistakes, which are committed due to natural tendencies of being a human, will be forgiven by Allah Almighty because He is Forgiving, Merciful.

90.  And those among the wandering Arabs who had an excuse came in order that permission might be granted them; and those who lied to Allah and His Messenger sat at home. A painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve.

90.  Wa  jaaa-‘al-mu-‘az-ziruuna  minal-‘A’-raabi  liyu’-zana  lahum  wa  qa-‘adal-laziina  kaza-bUllaaha  wa  RasuulaH.  Sa-yusii-bulla-ziina  kafaruu  minhum  ‘azaabun  ‘aliim.

Commentary

It was described about those Hypocrites, in the previous verses, who were living in Madinah city. These people came unto Messenger of Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and told their pretenses separately by every individual, because they did not give any importance to the preparation for the Battle of Tabuuk, and requested for permission to sit at home.

In this verse, there is recitation about the villagers. When they heard that the Muslims have been ordered to move for war towards Syria; and the people have been getting ready for this purpose, then some of them came towards the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) on the basis of outward connections and requested: At this occasion; our participation would be difficult. In addition to readiness of crops and seasonal heat, we fear also that neighboring enemies will rob our all wealth and family at home by reaping advantage from our absence. Therefore, please grant us permission so that we may live at home. These people are included in mu-‘az-ziruun (who had an excuse).

Some were such people who did not make preparation for the Battle. They did not move from their homes but heard the news from one ear and drove out from the other. These people were called qaa-‘iduun. In this verse these both kinds of people have been mentioned.

It is commanded that some people from the wandering Arabs came to Madinah for getting permission to stay at home for keeping made their outward reputation, whereas some did not care even of ostentation and sat at home. These both kinds of people are blameworthy. If they would not repent in future, but lived as unbeliever and died as infidel, then, there is a very painful doom ready for them on the Day of Resurrection.

However, those people; whose excuses are reasonable; they deserve permission. Remaining all false impostors will grieve in the world as well as they will deserve painful doom on the Day of Resurrection, on the condition that they do not renounce with true heart.

The commentators have told the names of those villagers, however, knowing their names or otherwise, is equal. Actual aim from it is that everyone should know the end of these kinds of people, so that they all should fear at their own and understand well that Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) cannot be deceived. Only sincerity and true belief will be useful there. Those, who make false excuses; will be punished properly, retaliation of their evil intentions, if possible; in the world, otherwise certainly in the Hereafter. And their punishment is like a warning for the Muslims; that whether; are they not turning their faces by evading from the obedience of Allah Almighty?

Commentary

Some circumstances were described earlier that in which condition and duration; it was commanded that the Muslims should be ready for the Battle of Tabuuk. The Muslim had returned dog tired from a Battle. But forthwith; they were ordered that they should be prepared for another war. Weather was very hot. Every individual was aspiring to lie down at shady places unnecessarily. Particularly the tired people, who have come from journey of summer season, cannot be ready to give up rest. But at such time which promptness was shown by the Muslims, they proved that they were really sincere and partners of Muslims in adversity, its instance cannot be found in the world history.

As soon as the Muslims were commanded to be prepared, they all got ready to obey the Command. Except three persons, no man of means escaped from joining in the Battle. Every Muslim was present there; to sacrifice his life for Islam. Those people who were rich, they presented their wealth and money according to their means, but some of them were those who gave more than their capacity. Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) brought his entire goods. Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) gave his half wealth. Usman (May Allah be pleased with him) helped with open heart. This all was not for any worldly greed, but with true heart, for getting the pleasure of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). Then which success they acquired, certainly they deserved it.

In the previous verse, it was described ordinarily that these people are successful in the both Worlds, which was fulfilled in the world exactly as it was commanded; that they returned from the Battle of Tabuuk as they desired, and they became very famous in the environs of the world. And all non-Muslims began to tremble from their names.

In this verse, that ease and comfort has been mentioned which is ready for them in the Hereafter. For joining the Army, which was moving for this Battle, they left shady trees, cold water, comfort of home i.e. everything for the Cause of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). For them, there are verdant Gardens, loaded with Fruits, on the Day of Resurrection. None can drive them out from that Place. They will dwell there for ever with comfort and ease. Rivers of cold water will be flowing before them and they will enjoy these all blessings with pleasure. Which success can be greater than it? Verily, acquiring for ever, all goods of comfort and ease for oneself; is last limit of good luck and fortune, by giving up worldly comfort; suffering from thirst, heat and sunlight which are only for a few days, in obedience and for the Pleasure of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). Even today, if any fortunate person is desirous of these perpetual blessings, the same path of sacrifice is open for him.

Commentary

About the Hypocrites, it was described in the previous verse that these people do neither give any importance to Islam and Muslims, and nor determine their effort of going forth; as an effort, and nor consider their sacrifices as “a tent or other baggage sent on in advance” for success.

Out of them, rich and effective people come unto Messenger of Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) formally and by making some stories of hither and thither, they ask to grant them leave from including in the battle. They wish to sit at home along with disabled people.

Reason of it is not that; really they are disabled of any kind, but actually, veil is lying on their understanding and their hearts are encaged strongly; that any intelligible thing cannot be contained into them. They consider that the works of God’s Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and Muslims are nothing but only a game.

They say carelessly: Verily the Muslims have not faced any contentious nation so far, and now they are going to fight against heavy odds (Syria and Rome). We hope that they will sit down in the first stage like a bubble; otherwise, consequently, they will defeat these (Muslims). And it will not take too much time because they (the Syrians) have conquered the world. How can they (Muslims) succeed against them? Suppose, if they succeeded, then how many days? Against them, in this verse, condition of the supporters of Islam has been narrated, who do not hesitate from sacrificing for the Cause of their Religion.

It is commanded: You heard the circumstances of the Hypocrites. Now let us discuss about the true Believers. These are the people who believe in the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and along with it they partake in every effort of the development of Islam wholeheartedly.

It is the Dignity of the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and His followers that when any chance comes into their hand, they present themselves along with their wealth to sacrifice, and whatever is commanded to them, they comply with heartily without any hesitation. What will be result of these obedient people? It cannot be decided by the Hypocrites. Allah Almighty has full Decision Power, Who says: Success of the both Worlds and the best life is only for them, and they will be passed everywhere in their efforts and will find good fruit of their good deeds.

Success of the world will be disclosed very soon, and they will be given remuneration on the Day of Resurrection also, which will be described in the next verse.
