19.
Count ye the slaking of a pilgrim’s thirst and tendance of the Inviolable
Place of Worship as (equal to the worth of) him who believeth in Allah and
the Last Day, and striveth in the Way of Allah? They are not equal in the
sight of Allah. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

Commentary
Siqaa-yatun – (to
slake, to quench), this word has the same meaning as of the saq-yun.
However, here it aims also “the place; where the water is slaked, as well as
that utensil is siqaa-yatun too, with which someone is slaked,
for example “a cup, glass or bowl etc”. Siqaa-yatun is such
vessel or a little pond; in which the water is deposited for miscellaneous use.
It is called siqaa-watun also.
‘Imaarata – (to
people, to colonize, making arrangements for the pilgtims), here it aims “to
support and keep up apparent cheer”.
The Pagans were proud that they
used to perform the hospitality of such people who come to Makkah for
pilgrimage, provide them food and water, take care of their ease and comfort.
For such places, there is a need of such matters, so that those people, who
come to visit the sacred places, may stay with comfort, and the gaiety and
merriment should increase.
It has been described in this
verse that the actual works which are required to be performed, are some
different from them, whichever they do. Those people are better than these, who
consider that only outward hustle bustle, pomp and show are everything.
The actual works are “The man
should believe in Allah Almighty and the Day of Resurrection; on which account
of every individual’s actions shall be taken. After believing in God Almighty
and the Last Day, now it is duty of every human being that he/she should try
and strive with own soul and wealth; in the Way of Allah Almighty; and continue
to do so during entire life time.
Those people who slake the
thirsty pilgrims and arrange to colonize them in the vicinity of the Inviolable
Place of Worship (Masjidil-Haraam), and those people who believe in God
Almighty and the Last Day, and endow their entire life for the Cause of Allah
Almighty, these both kinds of people cannot be equal.
Those; who consider them equal;
have been tyrannizing themselves; as well as; other creature of Allaah.
Allah Almighty does neither cause to know the Right Matter to the tyrants and
nor show them the Straight Path. Those people should learn a lesson from this
verse, who spend their time and money on outward decoration of Sanctuaries (Masaajid).
