Lesson
Huduudul-laah – (The bounds
of Allah), Huduud is plural of Hadd which means limit, bound. Hadd is the place,
where any thing ends. That is to say; the last edge and that line, which is not
permitted to be crossed. Huduudul-laah aims, those fixed principles, rules and restrictions, getting
on them is not allowed. For instance; restrictions about eating and drinking,
fixed portions of inherited wealth etc.
yata-‘adda - (transgressing, passing beyond, violating,
breaking), ta-‘addii, ‘adwaan are also from this
word’s origin, which means “crossing the prescribed bounds and disobeying the
orders of Allah Almighty by breaking the restrictions.
Allah
Almighty guided in detail about the number of matrimony and orphans. Then cleared
the commands of heritage, its fixed portions and the legacy.
After
all, it is being ordained, “an eternal blessing of the Paradise and successful
life in the world is for those persons who obey Allah Almighty and His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessing and peace be upon him). Those people who will
not admit the prescribed laws and will overstep the bounds, they will proceed
to Hell and face a shameful doom.
It
is known from this verse that oppressing in the distribution of inheritance is
the cause of torment by Allah Almighty. Those Muslims should take it warning,
who refuse to give the portion of heritage to the girls and other heirs. It is
Saying of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him), “The person, who forfeits the heir’s right from inheritance, Allah
Almighty will forfeit him from his share in Paradise on the Day of
Resurrection.” (Ibn Maajah, Kitaabul
Wasaayaa, Baabul Hayf fil Wasi-yyah 3.4/3, Al-Hadith: 2703)
In these verses, there
is a promise of Paradise from Allah Almighty on obedience of His last Messenger
(grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and a threat of Hell on His disobedience.
