وَلَيْسَ ٱلْبِرُّ بِأَن تَأْتُوا۟ ٱلْبُيُوتَ مِن ظُهُورِهَا وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلْبِرَّ مَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ وَأْتُوا۟ ٱلْبُيُوتَ مِنْ أَبْوَٰبِهَا وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ (189 b)
189b.
It is not righteousness that ye go to houses by the backs thereof (as
do the idolaters at certain seasons), but the righteous man is he who wardeth
off (evil). So go to houses by the gates thereof, and observe your duty to
Allah, that ye may be successful.

Commentary
Before Islam, it was a
tradition during the times of ignorance that when the people of Arab used to
make a vow of Pilgrimage (during the days of Hajj, they used to consider it
inauspicious and ill-omened for entering into their houses through the
gates/doors. Moreover, they used to enter making doors in the back walls of
their houses or climbing on the roofs from the backyard of their houses and
leap in their houses. They used to suppose it themselves a great worship and
respect of the temple of Makkah , the Squire Building (Ka’-bah).
Looking them doing so, some Companions (may God Almighty be pleased with them)
of the Holy Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) were
fallen also in this misunderstanding and deemed against the respects of “the
Act of Interdicting” to enter through the doors of their houses in the
Determination dress.
In this verse, this
misunderstanding has been removed and told that righteousness is not in it that
you enter your house from its back and the righteousness is not in it also to
consider worship “to any self invented description. Moreover, it is the
righteousness that the Orders of God Almighty are obeyed, you should be
frightened from disobedience of His Commands, be temperate from evil doings and
whenever you wish to enter your house, come in from its door/gate, give up
ancient traditions and self-invented concoctions/wrongs and act upon the
Guidance of God Almighty.
It has also been
cleared from it that those all actions, which are not verified or supported by
Holy Qur’an and the Sayings of Holy Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him), taking them as worship in personal heart and
admitting them as the Divine law of the religion or making them compulsory over
personal life are sins and that is called heresy.
Then it has become
evident also that the real righteousness is the fear of God Almighty, that is
to say; embracing His Orders wholeheartedly and acting upon them, fearing from
disobedience of Allah Almighty and being saved from His forbidden matters. This
righteousness is required by God Almighty and this is the touch-stone of
mankind’s’ actions and his life’s goodness and badness.
At
the end, it has been expounded that the consequence of the righteousness like
this is perfect success and achievement of the object. This verse reminds us
again that how much fear of God and success has deep relation among each other.
The Fear of God Almighty is the basic principle of fame/respect and comfort
forever in the both Worlds.
