Lesson -2
The aim of the Revelation of Holy Qur’aan has been described very clearly
in the previous verses. It has been made incumbent upon the Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and care of Him, upon the entire Muslim
nation, to keep this object in front and fulfill it, as it appears from the
meaning of above-mentioned verse.
It has been mentioned in the
previous verse: The Holy Qur’aan has
been inspired in Muhammad, the Last Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
that the people, who exist at the spot, should be warned by this source (Holy Qur’aan) that there is a very severe
danger in either opposing it or not drawing proper attention toward it. And it
is the duty of all Muslims to manifest this subject (not only these people, who
are present, but through them, also of those human beings, whom this Holy Qur’aan reaches until the Day of
Resurrection.
It is open that this Holy Word
will reach up to more people even after the transfer of the Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). At that time, the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) will not grace the world with His presence. So this duty
will rest upon His nation, that they should inform the people about the danger
of not acting upon the commands, mentioned in Holy Qur’aan. And they should explain its meaning in such a manner that
nobody would have any objection that “we were not taught like this, otherwise
we would have thought on its commands, and acted upon them”.
It is known clearly from this
verse that Muhammad is the last Prophet and Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and
the Holy Qur’aan is the Last
Scripture, which was revealed in the world. No inspiration will be revealed upon
anyone after it. It is why that it has been revealed: “Allaah is Witness between me and you. And this Qur’aan hath been inspired in me, that I may warn therewith you and
whomsoever it may reach” (with effect from His time to
the Day of Resurrection): verse 19a. it is Your and Your nation’s duty after
You (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) to teach all of them.
The Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) performed His duty in such a manner that He caused to
hear the people by reciting the Holy Qur’aan
and guided: You should continue your attempt also to deliver it up to other
people like Me. He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was not
satisfied to cause to hear only but explained the meanings of Holy Qur’aan. And He acted upon it with such
a practice that He set the importance of its commands in the hearts of the
people well efficiently.
There are two parts of this Duty:
·
Learning the words of Holy Qur’aan own by heart and conveying them
up to other people, and as the Messenger of Allaah
Almighty acted upon it and that, what He commanded to cause to know its
meanings, which are called Hadith (Sayings of the Messenger), keep it also safe
and cause to reach others.
·
Informing the human beings about
its importance and necessity for the human life.
The Muslims performed first part
of the duty to some extent, but sorry to say! Duty of the second part could not
be performed properly as it needed. The value of any practical program, as it
is Holy Qur’aan, can remain
established, when it will be respected personally and properly. To advice
others, but not to follow personally, makes the advice useless. With which
mouth I say that Islam has the best way of life, whereas I don’t act upon it
strictly myself? Verbally I praise it very much, but when the time for action
comes, I learn from others “how to dwell” and adopt their modes of living. Observe
now a days, as much as fun and play, immodesty and obscenity, wickedness and
immorality, deceit and treachery is customary in others, that is, but more than
them is customary in the Muslims. But verbally they (the Muslims) say: Fear Allaah Almighty, be pious and adopt
abstinence. Is it not unforgivable crime and sin?
