The Apostle’s Glory

LESSON # 447 FROM HOLY QUR’AN

The Apostle’s Glory

Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter – 3)

Verses – 161 to 163 of 200, Section –17 (Part – 4)

 

161.  It is not for any Prophet to deceive (mankind). And whoso deceiveth will bring what he embezzled with him on the Day of Resurrection. Then every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned; and they will not be wronged.  162.  Is one who followeth the pleasure of Allah as one who hath earned condemnation from Allah, and whose habitation is the Fire. And a hapless journey’s end?  163.  They are (in different) degrees (of grace and reprobation) with Allah. And Allah is Seer of what they do.

161.  Wa maa  kaana  li-nabiyyin  ‘any-yagull.  Wa  many-yaglul  ya’-ti  bimaa  galla  Yawmal-Qiyaamah.  Summa  tuwaf-faa  kullu  nafsim-maa  kasabat  wa  hum  laa  yuzlamuun. 162.  ‘Afa-manittaba-‘a Rizwaanal-laahi  kamam-baaa-‘a  bisakhatim-  minallaahi  wa  ma’-waahu  Jahannam.  Wa  bi’-sal-masiir.  163.  Hum darajaatun  ‘indal-laah.  Wallaahu  Basiirum-  bi-maa  ya’-maluun.

 

Lesson

 

maa  kaana  li-nabiyyin  ‘any-yagulla – {It is not for any Prophet to deceive (mankind)}. This sentence can be explained in many forms:

 

• First of all, “the persons, who committed a mistake in the Battle of ‘Uhud, should have faith that while the most gracious Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) have forgiven them, then now his heart has been settled from their side. Since that, there is no difference between the heart (mind) and tongue of the Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). That becomes public which they have in their hearts.

 

• Secondly, the Messengers (peace be upon them) use to conceal nothing from their Ummah (nation), whether that is Revelation from Allah Almighty, or matters of truth and just or booty or something else. So, one should not bring any such false thought about the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

 

In the second verse of this lesson, Allah Almighty declared the difference between a Prophet and non-prophet by means of an obvious likeness. Allah Almighty asks, “Is the Prophet, who follows the pleasure of Allah in each condition and wishes from others to follow His pleasure also, can he be as someone who has earned condemnation from Allah, and whose habitation is the Fire? And a hapless journey’s end”? It can never be so.

 

Actually a Prophet (peace be upon him) and entire other creation is not equal. The Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) cannot do the base and contemptible deeds like the avarice and the greed. Allah Almighty knows, “Who deserves any degree and is entitled of which degree”? He is Seer of what they do. Can He bestow the degree of prophet-hood to such mean nature persons? Never.

If Allah Withdraw His Help, None Can Help You

LESSON # 446 FROM HOLY QUR’AN

If Allah Withdraw His Help, None Can Help You

Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter – 3)

Verse – 160 of 200, Section –17 (Part – 4)

 

If Allah is your helper none can overcome you, and if He withdraw His help from you, who is there who can help you after Him? In Allah let believers put their trust.

‘Iny-yansur-kumullaahu  falaa  gaaliba  lakum.  Wa  ‘iny-yakh-zulkum  faman  zallazii  yan-surukum-mim-  ba’-dih.  Wa  ‘alallaahi  falyata-wakkalil-Mu’-minuun.

 

Lesson

 

The Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was commanded in the previous verse, “Put thy trust in Allah”. Now it is being described in this verse, “Trustworthy is only Allah, Who is the Mighty, the Overcoming”.

 

Which error was committed by the Muslims during the Battle of ‘Uhud, that was forgiven by Allah Almighty, as well as He also recommended to let them forgiven too by the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). After that, they are being advised, “O Believers! Do not be taken in deception of others; do not fall into the trap of Infidels and Hypocrites, do not impress your false and astray imaginations upon your minds, but trust in Allah Almighty. If Allah is your helper, none can overcome you as you have observed during the Battle of Badr that the Idolaters were more than three fold from you. You did not have much arms and war equipment comparing to them. But Allah Almighty helped you and fortunately you won the non-ordinary war in un-expecting circumstances.

 

It has been described many times ago that victory and prevalence neither depends on number of Army personnel, nor on abundance of war equipment, but its necessary condition is strong and firm belief and faith in Allah Almighty, most of all the personal Bounty and Mercy of Allah Almighty. Those soldiers, who love their Belief most of their lives and all worldly valuables, they do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for Its superiority. Their arms become manifold powerful and stable in their intentions more than usual. An Infidel or Idolater soldier, who fights only for worldly goods, he knows on no account to sacrifice his life. Where ever he felt danger for his life, ran away leaving every thing. Such people are coward and weak. They do not have cease of mind and strength of their arms ends. Whether they are in majority, (have much quantity of fighters), they would be like a flock of the sheep. It is duty of the Believers that they should keep complete trust in Allah Almighty, endeavor and try their best, entrust their matters and make over the result to Allah Almighty.
