Lesson

 

Some circumstances were described earlier that in which condition and duration; it was commanded that the Muslims should be ready for the Battle of Tabuuk. The Muslim had returned dog tired from a Battle. But forthwith; they were ordered that they should be prepared for another war. Weather was very hot. Every individual was aspiring to lie down at shady places unnecessarily. Particularly the tired people, who have come from journey of summer season, cannot be ready to give up rest. But at such time which promptness was shown by the Muslims, they proved that they were really sincere and partners of Muslims in adversity, its instance cannot be found in the world history.

 

As soon as the Muslims were commanded to be prepared, they all got ready to obey the Command. Except three persons, no man of means escaped from joining in the Battle. Every Muslim was present there; to sacrifice his life for Islam. Those people who were rich, they presented their wealth and money according to their means, but some of them were those who gave more than their capacity. Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) brought his entire goods. Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) gave his half wealth. Usman (May Allah be pleased with him) helped with open heart. This all was not for any worldly greed, but with true heart, for getting the pleasure of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). Then which success they acquired, certainly they deserved it.

 

In the previous verse, it was described ordinarily that these people are successful in the both Worlds, which was fulfilled in the world exactly as it was commanded; that they returned from the Battle of Tabuuk as they desired, and they became very famous in the environs of the world. And all non-Muslims began to tremble from their names.

 

In this verse, that ease and comfort has been mentioned which is ready for them in the Hereafter. For joining the Army, which was moving for this Battle, they left shady trees, cold water, comfort of home i.e. everything for the Cause of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). For them, there are verdant Gardens, loaded with Fruits, on the Day of Resurrection. None can drive them out from that Place. They will dwell there for ever with comfort and ease. Rivers of cold water will be flowing before them and they will enjoy these all blessings with pleasure. Which success can be greater than it? Verily, acquiring for ever, all goods of comfort and ease for oneself; is last limit of good luck and fortune, by giving up worldly comfort; suffering from thirst, heat and sunlight which are only for a few days, in obedience and for the Pleasure of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). Even today, if any fortunate person is desirous of these perpetual blessings, the same path of sacrifice is open for him.

Remuneration in the Hereafter

Lesson # 1123 from Holy Qur-’aan

Remuneration in the Hereafter

Surah ‘TAWBAH or BARAAA-‘AH (REPENTANCE) – Chapter – 9)

Stage – 2, Verse – 88 of 129, Section – 11 of 16 (Part – 10)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

 

88.  But the Messenger and those who believe with him strove with their wealth and their lives, such are they for whom are the good things, and such are they who are the Successful.

88.  Laakinir-Rasuulu  walla-ziina  ‘aamanuu  ma-‘ahum  jaahaduu  bi-‘amwaa-lihim  wa  ‘anfu-sihim.  Wa  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  lahumul-khay-raat.  Wa  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  humul-Muf-lihuun.

 

Lesson

 

About the Hypocrites, it was described in the previous verse that these people do neither give any importance to Islam and Muslims, and nor determine their effort of going forth; as an effort, and nor consider their sacrifices as “a tent or other baggage sent on in advance” for success.

 

Out of them, rich and effective people come unto Messenger of Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) formally and by making some stories of hither and thither, they ask to grant them leave from including in the battle. They wish to sit at home along with disabled people.

 

Reason of it is not that; really they are disabled of any kind, but actually, veil is lying on their understanding and their hearts are encaged strongly; that any intelligible thing cannot be contained into them. They consider that the works of God’s Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and Muslims are nothing but only a game.

 

They say carelessly: Verily the Muslims have not faced any contentious nation so far, and now they are going to fight against heavy odds (Syria and Rome). We hope that they will sit down in the first stage like a bubble; otherwise, consequently, they will defeat these (Muslims). And it will not take too much time because they (the Syrians) have conquered the world. How can they (Muslims) succeed against them? Suppose, if they succeeded, then how many days? Against them, in this verse, condition of the supporters of Islam has been narrated, who do not hesitate from sacrificing for the Cause of their Religion.

 

It is commanded: You heard the circumstances of the Hypocrites. Now let us discuss about the true Believers. These are the people who believe in the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and along with it they partake in every effort of the development of Islam wholeheartedly.

 

It is the Dignity of the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and His followers that when any chance comes into their hand, they present themselves along with their wealth to sacrifice, and whatever is commanded to them, they comply with heartily without any hesitation. What will be result of these obedient people? It cannot be decided by the Hypocrites. Allah Almighty has full Decision Power, Who says: Success of the both Worlds and the best life is only for them, and they will be passed everywhere in their efforts and will find good fruit of their good deeds.

 

Success of the world will be disclosed very soon, and they will be given remuneration on the Day of Resurrection also, which will be described in the next verse.
