Quran Chapter
10-102 & 103 (Pt-11, Stg-3)(L-1332) -درس قرآن
Religion is an important matter but
without compulsion
Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)
BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful
Commentary
If we reflect on
the description of previous Section, we shall find some very necessary
principles of life from it:
1. All humankind of the world will not be
Believers. Only those people; whose hearts have tendency of seeking the truth
and the right, they will incline unto this matter wholeheartedly. But the
people who are engaged in collecting worldly advantages by enjoying the slight
pleasures, they are not effective; whether you cause to understand them as much
as you can, admonish them by reciting the verses of God’s Word, they will never
believe. Therefore, Allah Almighty has made so law of life for the mankind that
He has added up perfect guidance in Holy Qur’aan for them; who want to
seek the Truth. And for teaching this Book of Allah Almighty, the Religious
Scholars remained in the world always. Seekers of the Truth used to come unto
them successively, so that they might learn the Scripture and remove their doubts.
2. Nobody can compel any other for believing. Every
individual has been provided opportunity for choosing the way and religion
he/she desires in accord with own sense and capability and he should act upon
it according to own will. Different religions and the people of separate
thoughts from one another will remain among the people up to the last day of
the world. So verily it is sufficient that every individual should solve own
doubts by asking from own scholar. Then it is duty of the scholar that he
should not keep his personal worldly benefits in view at the time of describing
the Truth. He should explain the matter correctly, without any greed, before
them who come unto him in search of the Right for the sake of Allah Almighty,
and only due to the reason that it has been commanded in Holy Qur’aan
that the seekers should ask and the scholar should explain. It is duty of every
individual.
3. For keeping up such atmosphere that seekers
of the truth may carry on their effort freely, and they may not be entangled in
articles of faith willing or unwilling, moreover, they should understand about
them (religious tenets) with cool heart and cause to know them. It is necessary
that safety and peace should be established in the world. Nobody should use
force of any sort against any other, and every individual should be able to get
necessities of life according to his needs. Religion is an important thing.
When there is no compulsion in it; then how can be “violence and oppressing one
another” lawful for worldly advantages?
It is known from
this verse that in the world, people of every doctrine will exist. Therefore,
it is incumbent that authority should be of justice, safety and peace.
