Lesson
‘Atta-quu – (do
your duty, fear), it is from ‘ittaqaa,
which has been derived from waqaayah.
Waqaayah means “defense, safety,
rescue”. ‘Ittaqaa – means “to be
saved, to go afar off”. ‘Atta-qUllaaha – means “Be saved from Allaah; that is to say; “Do not do such
works, which are not liked by Him, be saved from His punishment” as often we
say “Try to remain away from Police”. It aims that someone should not do such
works, which are arrest-able. Nearness of Allaah
Almighty can be acquired by pleasing Him. Translation of a part of that
supplication, which is recited after each “Azaan”
(the Summons to Prayers) is, “Our Lord! Bestow upon our Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) Wasiila (the way of approach)”. It aims, “O
God! Provide Wasiila
(the opportunity of Your nearness and propinquity) to Muhammad (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)”.
It has come in the Sayings of
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) that the word Wasiilah is a Place, which is nearest to Allaah Almighty and that Place is
special for Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). So every
Muslim has been taught that they should supplicate in this manner, “O Lord!
Cause to arrive Your Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
at the Place, which You have determined for Him”. It is the declaration of this
matter that this person is a well-wisher of the Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him). What fortune of a person would be more than
it that his name is written in well-wishers of the Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him).
The punishment of those robbers, swindlers,
killers and mischievous people was told in the previous section, who intend to
fight against Allaah Almighty and His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), and they kill the servants
of Allaah Almighty and snatch their
property. In this verse, Muslims are commanded that these are such deeds, from
which you have to hate. You have believed in Allaah Almighty, so you should never do such a work, which lets Allaah Almighty be angry upon you and you
are captured in His grip. You should do always such acts, due to which you are bestowed
with the fortune of nearness of Allaah Almighty. Whenever the worldly people
want to get the propinquity of kings and leaders of this world, then they
perform such deeds, by which they may become happy and they may become their
confidential fellows, then they will be having ease.
O believers! You should be persevered
for the pleasure of Allaah Almighty so
that you may become nearer to Him. Whosoever will incline towards this perseverance
and will be careful always, that he must not do such a thing, due to which Allaah Almighty becomes angry, that person
is successful. He will be saved from all hardships and will remain happy. Besides
this, there is no other way upon which someone has any hope of success and pleasure.
