Be ye faithful of me instead of Allah,

Commentary
‘Ibaadun – (faithful persons,
slaves), its singular is ‘Abd. The
words Ma’-buud (Worshipped), ‘ibaadat (worship) and ‘abuudiy-yat (service of God, devotion,
adoration) have been derived from this word. ‘Abd means Slave and servant, that is to say; the person who is
neither independent nor free, but is bound to act according to the instructions
of his/her Lord and Ruler.
In
the presence of the group from Syria (Najraan), some Christians said, “O Muhammad (grace, glory,
blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him): Do you wish that we should
begin your worship as the Christians (Nazarenes)
adored Jesus Christ (peace be upon him)?” Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) replied, “God forbid! That, if we worship someone other than
Allah Almighty or invite others to do so. God Almighty has not sent us for this
purpose”. Then the verse under discussion was revealed.
It
means that the person, to whom Allah Almighty gives Scripture, Wisdom and
decision power, and he (peace be upon him) acquires the position of
Prophet-hood, so that by conveying the correct message of Allah Almighty to the
people, he would make them attentive towards His servitude and loyalty. His duty
can never be so to distract their attention from slavery of One God to make
them his own slaves or of any other creature. If he does so; then it would mean
that he was not capable for holding the position for which Allah Almighty sent
him.
Any
the government of the world thinks two things before appointing someone in a
position of responsibility:
1.
Whether this person has the potency to understand the rules of
the government and fulfill his duties or otherwise?
2.
To what extent he may be hoped to get implemented the orders of
the government and to maintain loyalty of the people?
No
king can appoint any such person as his viceroy or ambassador about whom there
would be even a little doubt of rebellion. It may be understood from this
likeness that when the worldly governments are so much cautious, then Allah
Almighty, Who has perfect knowledge about every thing, how will He send a
person as Messenger, who would become His rebel and despite of telling the
people to worship Allah Almighty as God,
causes to be done servitude of himself?
This
verse confutes the belief of Christians that Jesus (peace be upon him) caused
to say himself the son of God and made himself a partner in His Godhood or
caused to be prostrated unto himself.
How the Prophets and Messengers of Allah
Almighty (peace be upon them) can commit such clear error?
