Lesson
In the previous
verse, we were taught the method of supplication in the Court of God Almighty for
showing us the Straight Path. Now, it has been explained about the Straight
Path in this verse. All matters of guidance and perfect education have come in
the Holy Qur-’aan. God
Almighty has sent down abundant practical patterns {Prophets and Messengers
(peace be upon Them)} with His Grace and Kindness for human beings, so that it
may be easy to follow them by keeping their chaste lives before us and choosing
the right path. Therefore, Allah Almighty taught us supplication that He should
run us on the foot-prints of His beloved Servants, whom He has favored.
Mention of the
persons, who have been favored, exists in the Verse # 4: 69 (Surah an-Nisaa’).
Translation of that verse is, “Whoso obeyed God and the Messenger, they are
with those unto whom Allah hath shown favor, of the Prophets and the Saints and
the Martyrs and the Righteous. And what a best of company are they indeed.”
The Prophets and
The Messengers (peace be upon Them) – are such
chosen Persons, whom Allah Almighty has selected to convey His message unto His
human creature (mankind). There is no possibility of mistake or error in the
teachings of any Prophet (peace be upon Him). Prophet remains
innocent and protected from the sins. Many news of the lives of the Prophets (peace
be upon Them) have been described abundantly in the Holy Qur’an. Chieftain of the pure
class of Prophets is the Last Messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon
Them). His all holy Habits and Sayings have been protected in
writing. Our success in this life and deliverance on the Day of Resurrection is
hidden in obeying the commands of the last holy Prophet (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him).
Siddiq – (A Faithful Witness
of the Truth).
Siddiq comes at the second position
after Prophets (peace be upon Them). These people
achieve very higher grades by following the teachings of The
Prophets (peace be upon Them), like Abu
Bakr Siddique (Radi Allaahu ‘anhu), the First Caliph of
The Last Messenger (peace be upon Him). Siddiq is title of Joseph (peace be upon him) along with His
Prophet-hood, and Abu Bakr (may
God be pleased with Him).
The
Martyrs. Those venerable individuals, who
are influenced particularly by the teachings of Prophets (peace be upon
Them). They have full belief in the promises of God and rewards (after
death) of the good works. And they are inclined to such stage that they fall a
sacrifice. God Almighty bestows them the eternal life.
The
Righteous. Those servants of God Almighty
who try wholeheartedly to follow the Prophets (peace be upon
Them) with all possible ways. These all great people become example for
them who come after them.
God Almighty commands us in this
verse: “The Straight and Right Path is that, on which, the laureate persons went.
The success is in following their foot-steps”.
