Commentary

Out from Madinah city, there was a ward; named “Qubaa”. When Messenger of Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) reached Madinah after departure from Makkah; He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) stayed at first in that ward. After His (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) move, the people constructed a Masjid; where He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) used to offer prayers (in Qubaa). The name of that Mosque is Masjid Qubaa. All inhabitants of that ward used to offer prayers in that Masjid.

Opposite to them, some people built another Masjid in Qubaa and requested the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam): We have constructed this Masjid for the comfort of those people who are old, nearby it, and necessitous. Please offer prayer in that Masjid once, so that it may become blessed.

At that time, God’s Messenger (SallAll aahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was going to be prepared for moving unto Tabuuk for the purpose of war. He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) said to them: At this stage I have no leisure time. After returning from Tabuuk, it will be arranged. When He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) returned and was very near to Madinah, then these verses were revealed on Him.

It has been described in these verses: Newly constructed Masjid has been built for harming the Muslims. You should never stand there for praying. Those people, who have constructed it, are Hypocrites and mortal foes of Islam. Abu Amer was from the tribe of Banu Khazraj, embraced Christianity and had become a priest. The people used to give him honor.

When Messenger of Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) arrived at Madinah, Abu Amer observed that his credit is going to be ruined, then he was enemy of Islam and he helped the Infidels in every Battle (Ghazwah). At last he left Madinah, went to Syria and wrote to the Hypocrites of Madinah from there: Build a Mosque so that we may abide there. Very soon, I shall bring the residents of Syria who will attack on Muslims and finish them.

It is commanded: these cunning people have built this Mosque for the help of infidelity, sowing dissension between the Muslims, and as a lurking place for Abu Amer, the foe of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). They tell a lie that their intention is good. Allah Almighty bears witness that they are liars. You should never stand there for prayer. Therefore, God’s Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) commanded the Muslims after reaching Madinah: Demolish that Mosque. So His (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) commandment was obeyed.

106.  And (there are) others who await Allah’s decree, whether He may punish them or may forgive them. And Allah is Knower, Wise. 107a.  And as for those who built a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His Messenger aforetime.

Commentary

Murjawna – (who await decree), it is the passive participle. Actually this word is murjaa-‘uuna, but for reciting, it has been shortened. Its origin is ‘irjaa-‘un, which means “to postpone, putting off for any other next time”. Foundation of this word is raja’’a. Raja-‘un means hope, expectation. ‘Irjaa-‘un means “to keep in expectation, awaiting”.

Ziraarun – (to cause dissent any other), this word has been derived from zarar, which means “damage, loss”. Another form of this word is muzaarratun. Both words mean “to harm someone else”.

‘Irsaadun – (to waylay, to lie in ambush), this word has come out from rasad. Rasad means “ambush, trick”. ‘Irsaadun means “to help in waylaying, to provide a separate place”.

Since long; it is being described about those people who did not participate in the Battle of Tabuuk. Some of them were Hypocrites and some were sincere Muslims; who did not join the Army before departure. Among the Muslims there were two kinds of people:

1.   Those who were ashamed immediately and punished themselves. He (May Allah be pleased with him) was Abu Labaabah, who fastened himself tightly with the pillar of Masjid (Mosque). And he said: Only Messenger of God Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) will unfasten me after returning.

2.   There were three such persons who neither did announce of being ashamed and nor did they repent. Description about them will be explained later.

There were some other people who built another Masjid leaving Masjid Qubaa; and tried to cause dissent among the Muslims. These were hidden enemies of the Muslims. Abu Amer tried to determine this Masjid as his abode, so that he may make plans to molest the Muslims; sitting there. He was a Christian monk, who fought against Muslims in every battle along with the Infidels.

104.  Know they not that Allah is He Who accepteth Repentance from His bondmen and taketh the alms, and that Allah is He Who is the Relenting, the Merciful. 105.  And say (unto them): Act! Allah will behold your actions, and (so will) His Messenger and the Believers. And ye will be brought back to the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, then He will tell you what ye used to do.

104.  ‘A-lam  ya’-lamuuu  ‘annAllaaha  Huwa  yaqba-lut-TAWBATA  ‘an  ‘ibaadiHii  wa  ya’-khuzus-sadaqaati  wa  ‘annAllaaha  Huwat-Tawwaabur-Rahiim. 105.  Wa  quli’-maluu  fasaya-rAllaahu  ‘amalakum  wa  RasuuluHuu  wal-Mu’-minuun.  Wa  satu-rad-duuna  ‘ilaa  ‘Aalimil-gaybi  wash-shahaadati  fa-yunabbi-‘ukum-  bimaa  kuntum  ta’-maluun.

Commentary

‘As-sadaqaati – (the alms), this word is plural of sadaqatun, which has passed in the verse before this. The origin of this word is sadaqa. Two words from it are famous –sidq and sadaaqat. The first word means “the truth” and the second word aims “well-wishing and friendship”.

The truth and the friendship have deep relationship with each other. The friend is he whose heart is true and open. Sadaqah is the thing which is given happily, truly and being well-wisher to someone else for fulfilling his requirement. One more word saduqah has been derived from the same origin which means mahar, which is given to the bride at the time of her wedding. However, here it aims – duty, alms and the work of supererogation.

Those people know who believe that Allah Almighty accepts repentance, supplication and alms of the people Himself, and He is Kind directly to His bondmen. It is commanded in this verse that the human beings should know that they are directly connected with Allah Almighty. Which works will they perform for His Cause, He will accept them.

He commands also: Say unto them! Perform good works. Certainly Allah beholds your every deed, however, His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and all Believers will see also. You will be treated in the world according to your actions. At last; you will be produced before Allah Almighty. He knows your entire secret and open matters. He will tell you that what the result of your worldly actions is, and what is their retribution.

خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ صَدَقَةًتُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ صَلَوٰتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ 103

103.  Take alms of their wealth, wherewith thou mayst purify them and mayst make them grow, and pray for them. Lo! Thy prayer is an assuagement for them. And Allah is Hearer, Knower.

103.  Khuz  min  ‘amwaalihim  sadaqatan-  tutahhiru-hum  wa  tuzakki-him  bihaa  wa  salli  ‘alay-him.  ‘Inna  salaataka  sakanul-lahum.  Wallaahu  Samii-‘un  ‘Aliim.

Commentary

Tutahhiru – (you may purify), origin of this word is tat-hiir, which means “to purify”. Its base is tahara. Two other words from it - tahar and tahaarat are more used. Meaning of these both words are “cleanliness and elegance”.

Tuzakkii – {you may make (them) grow}, its origin is taz-kiyah, which means “to increase, to enlarge”. Zakaat is a famous word from its origin, which means “alms, to give money to any needy person from own wealth”. It is cause of increasing the wealth. And it is called “making grow (barakah)”. Zakaat (paying the poor-due) is cause of increasing the wealth and making it grown.

It was discussed in the previous lesson that many servants of Allah Almighty are those who believe in God and the Hereafter heartily. But the errors are committed by them also. Such people should repent immediately (without further delay) and do good works, because performing good is expiation of errors.

One particular good work has been mentioned in this verse, due to which; the sins are forgiven and the condition of the society is set off. And the common people do not indulge in sins due to poverty and starvation.

It is commanded: You should take alms from their earnings for the necessitous people, because alms will purify them from their errors and the people will become more prosperous. Prosperity of the people provides opportunity of calling them unto good works.

Then you should pray for them also, because their hearts will be satisfied when you will supplicate for them; as well as they will think: “Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) are our Supporters. One (God) is causing to rain on us of His Mercy and the Other {God’s Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)} is supplicating for our betterment”.

Passion of doing good and giving alms and charity will grow in their hearts, and their mutual co-operation will increase. They will wish to do good works more and more, and will find occasion of talking about good matters altogether too. Allah Almighty is Hearer of all these matters and Knower of intentions hidden in the hearts. He will guide them unto the Straight Path of goodness, and He will be Merciful on them.

Commentary

The Muslims are being informed about the circumstances of common people; who have embraced Islam. It was told in the previous verse that from them, some wandering Arabs and some those people who live in Madinah city, have not accepted Islam with their hearts. Apparently they talk as the Muslims, but their hearts are empty from the Belief.

They meet the Muslims regularly, but at different occasions; they talk with such words, due to which the Muslims are at a loss. Their outward Islam will not be useful. These evil-minded people will reach their recompense for the evil done. Once they will be given faulty fruit against their hypocrisy in this world. Second time uneasiness will be for them in the grave; and their wicked deeds will keep them entangled in pain and suffering by adopting frightful forms. And at last; third time; they will become the stock for the Fire of the Hell.

It has been described in this verse that there are some such people in the Muslims also who believe in Allah Almighty heartily and obey the Sayings of His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) having faith that He is Rightful. But due to natural weakness, any error occurs by them. And when they return to sense and understanding, then they repent due to their sin; being abashed, and admit their error and renounce for future. But again, the Devil entraps them and they commit any mistake, then again they repent. Similarly, these people use to perform and commit good and bad deeds respectively, because correct Belief exists in their hearts. Therefore, it is hoped that Allah Almighty will forgive their errors and provide them refuge in the Vicinity of His Mercy, because His Forgiveness and Mercy is very vast.

It seems that maximum Muslims are included in this category. They should remain far from polytheism, and if they have committed any error due to human natural tendencies, then immediately; they should be present in the Court of Allah Almighty and ask for forgiveness by imploring earnestly and humbly, repent with true heart; and disobey not intentionally. Hope that Allah Almighty will forgive their errors.
