And Allah is Knower, Wise.   107a.  And as for those who built a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His Messenger aforetime.

106.  Wa  ‘aakharuuna  murjawna  li-‘amRillaahi  ‘immaa  yu-‘azzibu-hum  wa  ‘immaa  yatuubu  ‘alay-him.  Wallaahu  ‘Aliimun  Hakiim.    107.  Wallazii-natta-khazuu  masjidan  ziraaranw-wa  kufranw-wa  taf-riiqam-  baynal-Mu’-miniina  wa  ‘irsaadal-liman  haara-bAllaahu  wa  Rasuulahuu  min-  qabl.

 

Lesson

 

Murjawna – (who await decree), it is the passive participle. Actually this word is murjaa-‘uuna, but for reciting, it has been shortened. Its origin is ‘irjaa-‘un, which means “to postpone, putting off for any other next time”. Foundation of this word is raja’’a. Raja-‘un means hope, expectation. ‘Irjaa-‘un means “to keep in expectation, awaiting”.

 

Ziraarun – (to cause dissent any other), this word has been derived from zarar, which means “damage, loss”. Another form of this word is muzaarratun. Both words mean “to harm someone else”.

 

‘Irsaadun – (to waylay, to lie in ambush), this word has come out from rasad. Rasad means “ambush, trick”. ‘Irsaadun means “to help in waylaying, to provide a separate place”.

 

Since long; it is being described about those people who did not participate in the Battle of Tabuuk. Some of them were Hypocrites and some were sincere Muslims; who did not join the Army before departure. Among the Muslims there were two kinds of people:

 

• Those who were ashamed immediately and punished themselves. He (May Allah be pleased with him) was Abu Labaabah, who fastened himself tightly with the pillar of Masjid (Mosque). And he said: Only Messenger of God Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) will unfasten me after returning.

 

• There were three such persons who neither did announce of being ashamed and nor did they repent. Description about them will be explained later.

 

There were some other people who built another Masjid leaving Masjid Qubaa; and tried to cause dissent among the Muslims. These were hidden enemies of the Muslims. Abu Amer tried to determine this Masjid as his abode, so that he may make plans to molest the Muslims; sitting there. He was a Christian monk, who fought against Muslims in every battle along with the Infidels.

Allah is He Who is the Relenting, the Merciful

Lesson # 1139 from Holy Qur-’aan

Allah is He Who is the Relenting, the Merciful

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

Stage – 2, Verses – 104 & 105 of 129, Section – 13 of 16 (Part – 11)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

 

104.  Know they not that Allah is He Who accepteth Repentance from His bondmen and taketh the alms, and that Allah is He Who is the Relenting, the Merciful.   105.  And say (unto them): Act! Allah will behold your actions, and (so will) His Messenger and the Believers. And ye will be brought back to the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, then He will tell you what ye used to do.

104.  ‘A-lam  ya’-lamuuu  ‘annAllaaha  Huwa  yaqba-lut-TAWBATA  ‘an  ‘ibaadiHii  wa  ya’-khuzus-sadaqaati  wa  ‘annAllaaha  Huwat-Tawwaabur-Rahiim.   105.  Wa  quli’-maluu  fasaya-rAllaahu  ‘amalakum  wa  RasuuluHuu  wal-Mu’-minuun.  Wa  satu-rad-duuna  ‘ilaa  ‘Aalimil-gaybi  wash-shahaadati  fa-yunabbi-‘ukum-  bimaa  kuntum  ta’-maluun.

 

Lesson

 

‘As-sadaqaati – (the alms), this word is plural of sadaqatun, which has passed in the verse before this. The origin of this word is sadaqa. Two words from it are famous – sidq and sadaaqat. The first word means “the truth” and the second word aims “well-wishing and friendship”.

 

The truth and the friendship have deep relationship with each other. The friend is he whose heart is true and open. Sadaqah is the thing which is given happily, truly and being well-wisher to someone else for fulfilling his requirement. One more word saduqah has been derived from the same origin which means mahar, which is given to the bride at the time of her wedding. However, here it aims – duty, alms and the work of supererogation.

 

Those people know who believe that Allah Almighty accepts repentance, supplication and alms of the people Himself, and He is Kind directly to His bondmen. It is commanded in this verse that the human beings should know that they are directly connected with Allah Almighty. Which works will they perform for His Cause, He will accept them.

 

He commands also: Say unto them! Perform good works. Certainly Allah beholds your every deed, however, His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and all Believers will see also. You will be treated in the world according to your actions. At last; you will be produced before Allah Almighty. He knows your entire secret and open matters. He will tell you that what the result of your worldly actions is, and what is their retribution.
