Commentary
Auspicious Existence
of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) and blessings of his company were described in the previous lesson. In
addition, it was explained that how a Muslim could go to the darkness of
Infidelity after getting the light of Belief, in the presence of Allah’s
Beloved Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and
his teachings. The Muslims are being preached in this verse, “Observe your duty
to Allah with right observance, and die not save as those who have surrendered
(unto Him) so that Allah Almighty keep you steadfast on the path of
guidance.
Haqqa tuqaa-tiHii - (with right observance), we should fear Allah Almighty as
though and as much as we have to Observe our duty to Him with right
observance. It has been explained many times earlier about God fearing,
abstinence, piety, and the word “Taqwaa” has also been used
individually.
Taqwaa is the Soul of Islam and Belief, because it is difficult to spring
up the Islamic characteristics and chaste life without living with
virtuousness, care and looking after. Therefore, Allah Almighty commanded here,
“Observe your duty to Allah with right observance, and die not save as those who
have surrendered unto Him”. As though, Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said himself, “Belief is in between the
Fear and the Hope”. The earth and the skies, sun and moon, rivers and
mountains, forests and greensward, animals, vegetation and plants, minerals,
fossils and stones etc, on the whole, the entire existing things have been
created by Allah and are in His holding. Any atom of the world cannot move
hither to thither without His order. Life and death of the human beings is in
His Hand and their standing and sitting, walking and moving is in His
Jurisdiction. Living in poverty and prosperity is according to written fate by
Allah Almighty. Briefly, every ordinary movement of the human beings is in the
Power and authority of Allah Almighty. Therefore, whose right observance on the
human life can be more than Allah Almighty? While the humankind is indigent of
Allah Almighty for his life and its continuance on each step, then it is
necessary for him to be frightened from Allah Almighty as much as He has the
right to be afraid of Him.
In the second piece of the verse, Allah Almighty
commanded to the Muslims, “and die not save as those who have surrendered (unto
Him)”, do not do any act contrary to Islam, your life and death should be purely
at Islam, it is due upon you that you should not die until you don’t become a
true and perfect Muslim. In other words, it means that, you should remain
living with Islamic glory every second and every minute. Who does know that
when the death comes? Infidelity, devilishness, greed and selfishness should
never cause to winnow near oneself during the lifetime. This is the form only by
which we can come out with credit in the obedience of His Order that we should
Live for Islam and Die for Islam.
