Commentary
‘AttaqUllaaha – (observe your
duty to Allah, fear God), the order regarding abstinence, control of passions
and God fearing has come again and again in the holy Qur’an that
every individual should have fear of God Almighty at the time of doing any
work, should adopt abstinence, should control his passions, ward off bad
manners, feel disgust from the sins, evildoing and devilishness. These all
commands come under one sentence i.e. ‘AttaqUllaaha. The
origin of God fearing is very important in every field of the Muslim’s life.
Till the time this thing does not manifest in the word and deed of the Muslim,
his Islam cannot become perfect. Fear of God teaches him temperance, inclines
towards the good deeds and takes away from the bad acts.
It is 194th verse
of Surah Al-Baqarah. We have recited ‘14’ times about Fear of God (Taqwa)
up to this verse, particularly after the command about worship, after the
remembrance of the Children of Israel, after the mention of the principles of
the code of morality, after the command regarding retaliation, after the
sanction of bequest and after the order of a fast. (Taqwa) has
been signified as ‘intended’ and ‘required’ by the mankind to be adopted at
every place.
Whether it is being
stated about lawful and unlawful in the Holy Qur’an, discussing the
matters of marriage and divorce, describing the laws of property and wealth of
the orphans and the poor, debating about the distribution of heritage and
bequest, clearing the principles of association and mutual social intercourse
or enlightening on the matters of slaughter and strive, everywhere, It shall
teach the lesson of Taqwa (God fearing) and shall
inform certain about its importance, utmost why?
The mankind is puppet
of passions, slave of feelings and servant of perceptions. At the time of doing
every work, he remains under its impression. He drops down for unjust instead
of remaining on temperance and justice. Leaving the level of Just brings him unto
the cruelty, violation of right, injustice and oppression. These all things are
at very low level of a Muslim, so it is necessary that whether he is earnest in
any field of life, he should not give up temperance from his hand.
This lesson is taught
to keep every individual on such level that he should keep in view the
Existence of God Almighty, His commands, and attendance in His Court. He should
consider that the entire worldly property and valuables, respect and fame are
casual. Real thing is Success in the Court of Allah Almighty. So, if any person
has to suffer even some loss casually due to liking the justice, he should bear
it because God Almighty helps only those people who fear Him and it is clear
that the individual who has been provided Support by Allah Almighty, there is
none lucky, obedient and successful person more than him.
