Quran Chapter 3- 84 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-413) - درس قرآن

We have surrendered unto God

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)

  قُلْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَوَإِسْمَٰعِيلَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَٱلْأَسْبَاطِ وَمَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَٱلنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُۥ مُسْلِمُونَ 84

84.  Say (O Muhammad): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.

84.  Qul  ‘aamannaa billaahi  wa  maaa ‘unzila ‘alaynaa  wa  maaa  ‘unzila  ‘alaaa ‘Ibraa-hiima  wa ‘Ismaa-‘iila  wa  ‘Is-haaqa  wa  Ya’-quuba  wal-‘Asbaati  wa  maa  ‘uutiya  Muusaa  wa  ‘Iisaa  wan-nabiyyuuna mir-Rabbihim.  Laa nufarriqu  bayna ‘ahadim-minhum.  Wa  nahnu  lahuu  Muslimuun.

Commentary

      

Now practical likeness of the Muslims has been shown to the People of the Scripture. The Jews and the Christians proved to be wrong, falsified and denied all other Prophets and heavenly Books except their own Prophets (peace be upon them) and heavenly Books (the Scripture). It has been described in this verse about the stance of the Muslims that those people who have entered in the nation of Last Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and embraced Islam, they believe in the entire previous Prophets as sent by God Almighty (peace be upon them) without distinction and discrimination. They consider the ancient Holy Books as the Word of Allah Almighty and admit that, “We believe in Allah and understand that the entire Prophets (peace be upon them) were sent by Him as His Apostles (peace be upon them).  

Having belief in Allah cannot be considered as true without obeying His commandments. We have faith in that Word of Allah Almighty which is revealed in the form of Holy Qur’an for us and we believe in the important lineage of the Prophets (peace be upon them). We also admit all those orders, which were revealed periodically unto Abraham, and his generation’s Prophets like Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob and from their tribes (peace be upon them). After them, we have also faith in the Divine’s Word, which was revealed upon Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) in the form of Torah and Jesus (peace be upon him) and the Gospel. Near us these entire Prophets (peace be upon them) were sent by Allah Almighty. They were honest and truthful. The Scripture, which was revealed upon them by Allah Almighty, was the Truth. We do not differentiate between them. We do not falsify to anyone of them. Because accusing any Prophet of falsehood will carry in the Infidelity, even if everyone else is considered as Prophet. We are real Muslims (the obedient of Allah Almighty).

Nahnu  lahuu  Muslimuun – (unto Him we have surrendered), the stance of the Muslims has been cleared in this sentence that every Muslim believes in the entire Prophets (peace be upon them) who were sent by Allah Almighty, were honest. The aim of these verses is to produce a pattern for following by the People of the Scripture that, “if you claim that you are Muslims then it is the Straight Path. You will reach the destination if you adopt it”.
