The Hour is near to come

Commentary

Allah Allah – how the Holy Qur’aan causes to understand us much obviously that: You should live in the world like humankind. “See! You are not animals. You have a good sense, knowledge and better power of understanding than others. Is it useful to make efforts only like animals but with a little civilized manner, having this understanding, knowledge and sense, while you are created as human beings? As though, it is the only difference among animals and human beings that the animals fulfill their desires awkwardly and they do not make any improvement in the way of fulfilling their wishes. but on the other hand, the mankind finds new ways by searching day by day to fulfill one’s bodily desires and improves constantly, whereas, it should be the job of mankind’s sense that he should not be the slave of his desires. Moreover, he should know own Creator and subject his desires to His Commands.

The Holy Qur’aan causes to learn the same that the human being would have to bring his sense in use for knowing Allah Almighty (The Creator), considering His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) as one’s own Guide and acting upon the commands of Holy Qur’aan. And bear in mind always that everyone would be set before Allah Almighty after death on the Day of Resurrection. And whatsoever, he has done in the world; he would have to clear his accounts of all worldly deeds, whether those are good or bad. The humankind will not get rid of his deeds without clearing them and he will be punished very severely as retribution of his wicked acts.

It is commanded that the person, who does not believe during whole life in it that he will be set before Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgment, evil days will fall upon him completely. The Doomsday shall come; certainly the Day of Resurrection shall come. Those people who neglected it and the Judgment Day reached and overpowered them suddenly, and then they will have nothing but regret, sorrow and repentance.

At that time, they will be wonder-struck and will say: Alas for us, that we neglected it and we did not get ready for this Day! They will be in such condition that the wicked deeds, which they committed in the world and how much they enjoyed to revel by putting the Holy Qur’aan behind their back, they will have been bearing upon their backs; the load of their all evil deeds. Neither they will be able to drop and put a side, and nor throw that burden. On that Day; they will know: How much weighty and heart-breaking is that burden of evil deeds. It will be better for them, if they understand well this matter today.

Quran Chapter 5- 20 & 21 (Pt-6, Stg-2) (L-661) - درس قرآن    

Go into the Holy Land which Allah hath ordained for you (1)

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘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.)

                                                                               

 وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱذْكُرُوا۟نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ جَعَلَ فِيكُمْ أَنۢبِيَآءَ وَجَعَلَكُم مُّلُوكًا وَءَاتَىٰكُم مَّا لَمْ يُؤْتِ أَحَدًا مِّنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ (20

  يَٰقَوْمِ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْأَرْضَٱلْمُقَدَّسَةَ ٱلَّتِى كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَرْتَدُّوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَدْبَارِكُمْ فَتَنقَلِبُوا۟ خَٰسِرِينَ (21

20.  And (remember) when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Remember Allah’s Favour unto you, how He placed among you Prophets, and He made you kings, and gave you that (which) He gave not to any (other) of (His) creatures. 21.  O my people! Go into the Holy Land which Allah hath ordained for you; turn not in flight, for surely ye turn back as losers.

20.  Wa  ‘iz  qaala  Muusaa  li-qawmihii  yaa-qawmiz-kuruu  ni’-matAllaahi  ‘alaykum  ‘iz  ja-‘ala  fiikum  ‘ambi-yaaa-‘a  wa  ja-‘alakum-muluukanw-wa  ‘aataakum-maa  lam  yu’-ti  ‘ahadam-minal-‘aalamiin. 21.  Yaa-qawmid-khulul-‘Arzal-Muqaddasa-tallatii  kata-bAllaahu  lakum  wa  laa  tartadduu  ‘alaaa  ‘adbaarikum  fatan-qalibuu  khaasiriin.

    Commentary

Yaa-qawmi – (O my people),

Muluukan - (kings), this word is plural of malik, which means “a king”.

‘Al-‘Arzal-Muqaddasa-ta – it aims ‘the countries – Syria and Palestine’, where many Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) were sent by Allah Almighty. Every span of this earth is full of sacred marks and monuments. 

Laa  tartadduu – (do not turn), it is from ‘ir-tadaad, which has been made from raddun. Radd means ‘to return’, ‘Ir-tadaad – means ‘to turn from’. 

‘Adbaar – it is plural of dabar, which means ‘the back’. 

Khaasiriin – (losers), it is plural of khaasir, which is from khasaaraa. Khasaaraa means loss.

Allah Almighty reminds the People of the Scripture in these verses, up to the end of this section, about His favors, which He bestowed upon them. Intent to tell this again and again is that they should not disobey too much Merciful Lord and follow His Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), so that they may be triumphant in the both worlds. Along with it, the Muslims have been taught that they should never be arrogant in such a manner with Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) as the Jews did with their Messenger, Moses (peace be upon Him), so that they may be saved from those punishments and disasters, which the Jews had to face due to their own wickedness.

Islam is a religion chosen by Allaah - Quran Chapter 5-3b (Pt-6 Stg-2) (L–645)-درس قرآن

Quran Chapter 5- 3b (Pt-6, Stg-2) (L-645) - درس قرآن    

Islam is a religion chosen by Allaah

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘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.)

 ٱلْيَوْمَ يَئِسَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن دِينِكُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَٱخْشَوْنِ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْوَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِى وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلْإِسْلَٰمَ دِينًا فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ فِى مَخْمَصَةٍ غَيْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لِّإِثْمٍ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ (3b  

3b.  This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear Me! This Day have perfected your religion for you and completed My Favour unto you, and have chosen for you as Religion AL-ISLAM. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin; (for him) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

3b.  ‘Al-yawma  ya-‘isallaziina  kafaruu  min-diinikum  falaa  takh-shaw-hum  wakh-shawN.‘Al-Yawma  ‘ak-maltu  lakum  Diina-kum  wa  ‘at-mamtu  ‘alaykum  ni’-maTii  wa  raziiTu  lakumul-‘ISLAAMA  Diinaa.  Famaniz-turra  fii  makh-masatin  gayra  mutajaa-nifil-li-‘ismin,  fa-‘innAllaaha  Gafuurur-Rahiim.

    Commentary

Ya-‘isa – (despaired), this word is from yaas, which means “hopeless and despair”. It aims that now; they have become hopeless from the Muslims that they would renegade from Islam and return to their parent religion. 

Laa  takh-shaw-hum – (do not fear them). It has been derived from the word Khashyah, which means ‘fear, dread, terror, fright and awe’. From it, the word wakh-shawn has come out, which means “Fear Me”. Alphabet letter “n” at the end of the word wakh-shawn discloses that actually this word was wakh-shawNii. It shows that the letter “ii” has been deleted but the meaning “Me” would remain the same.

‘Uz-turra – being distressed, it is from ‘iztaraar, which means ‘to be helpless’. Having any determined necessity to be fulfilled without further delay is called ‘iztaraar. 

Makh-masatin  - (hunger), another word for hunger in Arabic language is “Juuu’ “.Mutajaa-nifin – this word is from janaf, which means ‘to bow, to submit, to agree, to associate with’. Here it aims, “A person, who inclines towards a side with his will”.

It has been described in this verse that the disbelievers used to hope, “when the Muslims would observe that they have to do many works of hard nature, many things have been forbidden for them from eating or drinking, of which they were habitual, and worship and Jihad have been prescribed for them, then certainly; they would renegade from Islam and adopt their previous religion, and they will become like us”. Today, this hope of theirs has broken. They will never be able to harm Islam. It is the Decision of God Almighty.

At that time, the Muslims were passing satisfied life. Makkah had been conquered. The entire Arab had embraced Islam. It had become easy to obey the Law. The Rules had been established for every matter/problem. Therefore, during the Last Hajj, it was proclaimed in the Field of Arafat very clearly, “This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming) your religion”. Now they will never be able to tempt the Muslims towards disbelief. The Muslims should forget their fear from their hearts. They should fear Allah Almighty only. He commanded, “This Day have perfected your religion for you and completed My Favour unto you, and have chosen for you as Religion AL-ISLAM”. It has proper solution of your every difficulty and guidance in accordance with every occasion.  

After that, Muslims are being guided that if they are forced by hunger and they feel dying without food, then they can take some food from the forbidden, only such quantity, with which they may live. It will not be sin for them.

Do not help anyone in the matters of sin - Quran Chptr 5-2b (Pt-6 Stg-2) (L–643)-درس قرآن

Quran Chapter 5- 2b (Pt-6, Stg-2) (L-643) - درس قرآن    

Do not help anyone in the matters of sin

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘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.)

Many commandments have been given to the Muslims in previous two lessons. Some of them are for special occasions and others are common. Two commandments out of the common; need special attention of the Muslims. The entire badness of our society can be driven away if these two rules are followed. No depravity of the society could be produced in to us if these principles continued also afterwards to be acted upon likewise earlier. But alas! We disregarded them and now the result of our negligence is before us. Those two principles are:

1.    Ta-‘aawanuu  ‘alalbirri  wat-taqwaa – (help one another unto righteousness and pious duty).

2.    Wa  laa  ta-‘aawanuu  ‘alal-‘ismi  wal-‘udwaan – (And help not one another unto sin and transgression).

We have been listening the words “ta-‘aawan and laa ta-‘aawan” (Help and do not help) since long. Let’s understand their meanings today, as the meanings, which have been described in the Holy Qur’aan.Ta-‘aawan means to help one another and laa ta-‘aawan mean ‘not to help one another and turn face. It has been told in this verse, “in which matters, you should help others, and which is the occasion where you cannot help others”? It has been decided in two sentences where, there is no room of any doubt. That is to say; help one another unto righteousness and pious duty, and help not one another unto sin and transgression. Birr means righteousness and Taqwaa means ‘to escape from evil deeds. We should help one another in these two matters. ‘Ism means sin, evil, and ‘udwaan means transgression upon someone. We should never help anyone in these two matters. If it is said in clear words, you can take it as, “Help the good people in their good deeds and do not go near the evildoers, nor help in their evil deeds”.

Those all deeds come under the heading of Birr, due to which the people gain. Taqwaa is fear of Allah Almighty. The act due to which any person is punished either in the world or on the Doomsday or at both places, is called ‘ism. ‘Udwaan means “to effect one’s purpose by pressing the weak than oneself”.

The Form of Ta-‘aawan. The entire people should assemble at any place and devise mutually that, “We all shall help him collectively, who will work for betterment of the public and escape from the sins”. And the form of laa ta-‘aawan is the decision by all people, “We shall break off all connections collectively with him, who will do evils and press the weak”. After establishing in such a manner, it is impossible that anyone might do evil or attain one’s object by pressing the weak.   

Now everybody should think, “Are we not doing against the above-mentioned principles”? If this condition is maintained as it is, then entire world will suffer at last. Good people will expire gradually by pressing and the bad will be living in the whole world. When it would be so, then the entire world will ruin and everything will be finished.

Command for being saved from violation - 2 - Quran Chptr 5-1&2a (Pt-6 Stg-2) (L–641)-درس قرآن

Quran Chapter 5- 1 & 2a (Pt-6, Stg-2) (L-641) - درس قرآن    

Command for being saved from violation - 2

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘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.)

Allah Almighty has ordained in the beginning of this Chapter, “Fulfill your undertakings”. When a mankind embraces Islam, he/she undertakes that he/she will never disobey Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). It becomes duty of that person that he should fulfill this responsibility. Therefore after that, remaining instructions about “Do” and “Do not do” have been explained.

That is the Believer who confesses Kalimah Tayyibah “Laaa ‘ilaaha  ‘illAllaahu, Muhammadur-RasuulUllaah” (There is No God But Allah, Muhammad is His Apostle) (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), by tongue and determines that he/she shall obey heartily the Command which will be delivered by Allah Al mighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). Following orders are adhered immediately upon a Muslim after acceptance of the Kalimah:

1.    Do not worship anybody or anything except Allah Almighty.

2.    Keep the congregational prayer up five times a day along with other Muslims.

3.    Fast the entire month of Ramadhan.

4.    Pay the poor-due @ 2- ½ % from your wealth.

5.    Perform the Hajj (pilgrimage) once in life, if it is possible.

Confessing the Kalimah is undertaking for performing all above-mentioned duties which have been prescribed by Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).

The worst commission of ancient nations (whose instance was present in front of Arabs in the form of Jews and Christians) was that they did not fulfill their covenants. Entire affairs about them have been explained in Surah ‘Al-Baqarah, ‘Aali- ‘Imraan and Nisaaa’. Possibly, any nation would not have evaded in such a manner, which did these two nations. They used to admit by their tongue that they would obey entire commands of Allah Almighty, but after that followed their own wishes and turned His commandments corresponding to their will as they wished. The last biggest covenant they broke is, “They promised that they would follow the Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)”. The Muslims have already been warned, “You should not do as the Jews and the Christians did but follow the Way keeping the attention fixed on Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)”.

The Muslims have been commanded, “It is lawful for you to get advantage from the beast of cattle. If you wish to use them for food, you are allowed except game, in case, when ye are in Ihram. Likewise, treat with respect and render honor to the sanctity of the Monuments of Allah Almighty, the Sacred Month, the offerings, collard animals (of sacrifice) those repairing to be Sacred House, and do not violate them. These places are the Masjids (Mosques) and many sacred places in the surroundings of ‘the Inviolable Place of Makkah, where every Pilgrim has to go during the occasion of Hajj (Pilgrimage) or they have to perform any religious duty. Try to do good, turn away from war and evil deeds particularly during these four sacred months – Rajab, Zii-Qa’-dah, Zul-Hajjah and Muharram. However, it becomes lawful to fight even during these sacred months against that who assaults”.

Like this, respect of those cattle (of sacrifice) is necessary too, which are used to carry to Makkah Mu-‘azmah and occasionally, those are collard with any neckband or something else, that those should not be molested. In like manner, it is duty of Muslims to save and respect those persons, who have departed towards Ka’-bah (the House of Allah Almighty at Makkah), because these people are proceeding to get His pleasure and grace.
