Islam is neither the name of
only some formal Divine worships like prayer, fasting, pilgrimage and paying
the poor-due, and nor the right of Islam is paid only by the preachers
conveying overly large sermons and the public have to listen to them, and then
both groups begin to do their own work. Contrary to this, Islam is that
“everyone should be engaged in performing good works every time for the mankind
sincerely and compassionately”.
We got through the
circumstances of past three nations in the previous lessons. It is to consider:
What were evil deeds of those people for which, the Messengers
(peace be upon Them) were sent unto them, and desired to remove? And what were
the reasons due to which they did not obey their Prophets (peace be upon Them)
and Their disobedient suffered from heavenly and earthly disasters?
Mutual evil among those three
nations was that they used to consider that everything is only own physical
strength, wealth and property and to command other people. They were unable to
view above the rank and grandeur of this world. It was the result that mighty
people desired to keep everything under their control and used to take hard work
from the subordinates. Then they used to put them off after paying them more or
less but not according to their labor. And they used to be addicted to pleasure
with the earnings of their hard labor.
It was not teaching of Prophet
Adam (peace be upon Him). The caste had no value among His people. There was no
sign of stratification in humans. Entire human beings used to fall prostrate
before Allah Almighty accepting Him their Creator and Lord. And they used to
spend the production of their hard working according to their capacity in
accord with their necessities by sharing with one another.
When they forgot Allah
Almighty, then arbitrary gods took His place and the equation departed with the
same. Quarrels began along with the Schism. They began to enjoy by seizing the
needful things. The people were being treated according to the proverb “Might
is right”. Bold people became the high ranking and the simple were pushed down.
The Messengers (peace be upon
Them) caused to understand them: Behold! The world is not always an identical.
Major destructive and deadly accidents may occur in it any time. You cannot
arrange to be saved during extremes of life. The rich and the watchmen of their
splendor were induced by hearing these words and they said: What is the dare of
anyone that he may hurt us? We have power; equipage, obedient servants and we
are ready for every accident. We wish to see him who treats us with crooked
eye.
You observed: How the people of
high class were corrupted? If anyone heard the sayings of the Messengers (peace
be upon Them), he/she belonged to low class, poor and insolvent community. The
three Messengers (peace be upon Them) tried their best that the rebellious
people should refrain from their airs and get ready collectively for escaping from
forthcoming danger being brothers of one another altogether.
Prophet Noah (peace be upon
Him) knew that a storm of water is coming very soon. Prophet Hud (peace
be upon Him) was cautious about the forthcoming dust storm. Prophet Salih (peace
be upon Him) was aware of coming the earthquake. But there was only one form of
being saved from those disasters, which was: the people suffering from
arrogance should give up their bragging. They should believe that Allah, the
Most High; is most Powerful and Omnipotent, and they entire should try
collectively to obey Him, so that being pleased He remove the wrath from them.
It is obvious
from these incidents that immoral people are seen involved in haughtiness and
they do not like to sit with the public or join the common people equally in
any matter, whenever any big calamity has to come. And accepting the religion
by poor people becomes cause of their distance from the religion.
