Quran Chapter 3- 146 (Pt-4, Stg-1) (L-467) - درس قرآن

Religion and wisdom

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

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

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن نَّبِىٍّ قَٰتَلَ مَعَهُۥ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٌ فَمَا وَهَنُوا۟ لِمَآ أَصَابَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِٱللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوا۟ وَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ 146

146.  And with how many a Prophet have there been a number of devoted men who fought (beside him). They quailed not for aught that befell them in the Way of Allah, nor did they weaken, nor were they brought low. And Allah loveth the steadfast.
146.  Wa  ka-‘ayyim-min-nabiyyin-qaatala, ma-‘ahuu  Rib-biyyuuna  kasiir.  Famaa  wahanuu  limaaa  ’asaaba-hum  fii  Sabii-Lillaahi  wa  maa  za-‘ufuu  wa  mastakaanuu.  Wallaahu  yuhibbus-Saabiriin.

Commentary
      
This topic begins from the previous two verses that the Prophets and the Messengers (peace be upon Them) came in the world and passed away. Like this, the Last Messenger, Muhammad  (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was sent for a prescribed period. But His (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) religion will remain till the General Resurrection, and the Scripture brought by Him will remain a source of Guidance always for the nations and people of the entire world.

Therefore, showing weakness and laziness in the matters of religion will be opposite to the wisdom and sense. Those people who exposed broken-hearted after hearing false news about martyrdom of Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) in the Battlefield of ‘Uhud, they wronged. The Religion belongs to Allah Almighty and He is Eternal and Immortal. There is no mortality for Himself.

Continuing the same Series of the Word, there is a mention in this verse about the Prophets, the Messengers (peace be upon them) and their devoted followers (companions) (may Allah be pleased with them). So that the followers of the last Messenger, Muhammad  (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) (Muslim ‘Ummah) may learn from them.

Rib-biyyuuna – (the devoted men), this word has been derived from the word ‘Rabb’ which is an adjective of Allah Almighty. Rib-biyyuun means those people who have relation with their Lord, seekers and lovers of Allah Almighty. The Jews used to call their scholars as Rabbii, plural of which is Rib-biyyuun. 

It is being commanded, “Often it happened that the devotee people and the pious servants of Allah Almighty fought against His enemies in support of the Prophets (peace be upon them). Good or bad, every sort of time comes in the war. Sometimes one group wins and the other is defeated and sometimes opposite to it. But their steadfast feet never trembled. Their spirit and strength were never weakened. They suffered thousand times, but neither they were lazy, nor had shown weakness and nor were they brought down. Allah Almighty keeps such people friends who are steadfast and have stable temperament. The Muslims would have to produce these virtues in to them for becoming beloved of Lord Almighty”.
