Quran Chapter 3- 144b (Pt-4, Stg-1) (L-465) - درس قرآن

Qur’an is a permanent source of guidance

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)

وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُ أَفَإِي۟ن مَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ ٱنقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَٰبِكُمْ وَمَن يَنقَلِبْ عَلَىٰعَقِبَيْهِ فَلَن يَضُرَّ ٱللَّهَ شَيْـًٔا وَسَيَجْزِى ٱللَّهُ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ 144

144b.  He who turneth back on his heels doth no hurt to Allah. And Allah will reward the thankful.   
144b.  Wa   many-yan-qalib  ‘alaa  ‘aqibayhi  falany-yazurrallaaha  shay-‘aa.  Wa  sa-yaj-zillaahush-Shaakiriin.

Commentary
      
As soon as the archers left their place, one troop of horses, which was being commanded by Khalid bin Waleed returned and attacked from the hill-pass side. A handful strength of ten bowmen could not stop two hundred fifty horse-riders. However, ‘Abdullah bin Jabiir and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) sacrificed their lives during fight. Then the Muslims were surrounded from the both sides. They fought as much strongly that ‘Al-‘amaan wal-Hafiiz. Many Muslims were martyred and injured. At the same time an Infidel threw a stone on the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), which caused to martyr his tooth and face was injured. Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) fell down due to severity of the injury and someone spread the rumor that Prophet of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has been killed.

Listening to this news the Muslims lose their senses and footing. A few Muslims threw their weapons. Some of them thought about getting safety from the leader of Idolaters. The Hypocrites began to say that while Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has been killed then we should adopt our ancient religion; leaving Islam.
  
At that critical time, Ans ibne-Al-Nafar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “If Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has been killed then his God is still Alive. After Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) there is no use to live. For which aim Prophet Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was killed, we also should sacrifice ourselves for the same purpose. Saying these words, he moved forward and was martyred. Then suddenly, Messenger of Allah (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) called, “O slaves of Allah: Come here!”. Listening to that particular voice, the Muslims began to shrink there again. Three Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) defended coming near to him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and caused the Army of Idolaters to run away.

Then this verse was revealed, “Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is not God but a Messenger. Many Prophets (peace be upon them) have passed away before him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). After the Prophets (peace be upon them), their followers sustained the religion always. Therefore, your passing away from the world would not be a surprise. If you (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) die or martyr then, would the people turn away from serving and protecting the religion? Remember it that, “If someone does so, he will lose himself; it will influence nothing to God. You should thank Allah Almighty that He has chosen you for the services of His religion.

It is obligatory upon us to learn from this verse and remain steadfast on His religion in the absence of the Messenger of Allah (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Holy Qur’an has been committed to the trust and our care by the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), which is a permanent source of Guidance. Besides this, model roll and sayings of the Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) are before us. We should follow his (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) footsteps and get success. Islam will remain alive always.
