68.
Say: O People of the Scripture! Ye have naught (of guidance) till ye
observe the Torah and the Gospel and that which was revealed unto you from
your Lord. And that which is revealed unto Thee (Muhammad) from Thy Lord is
certain to increase the contumacy and disbelief of many of them. So grieve
not for the disbelieving folk.
69.
Lo! Those who believe, and those who are Jews, and Sabaeans, and
Christians, whosoever believeth in Allaah
and the Last Day and doeth right-there shall no fear come upon them neither
shall they grieve.

Lesson
It has been explained in this
verse that it does not befit to the Jews and the Christians, who have been
given the Scriptures like Torah and Gospel, that they disbelieve and associate
with the Infidels. So, tell them again that they should act upon their own
Scriptures. When they will obey the commands of their own Scriptures, it will
become incumbent for them to believe positively in Arabic Quran and Arabic
Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), because it
is the Command of their own Scripture that they should obey the Last Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). They cannot be called at the
Straight Path until they do not act upon their own Scripture.
Allaah
Almighty commands, “Tell the People of the Scripture that as
far as they do not follow their own Scriptures till then they would continue to
run trackless and in a sprawling manner, because while they threw away their
Scripture behind, then what would be more than it that they chose their wishes
as their guide. It is a universal truth that any slave of wishes has no way to
go ahead. He turned towards that direction, in which his wishes turned him.
These people do not understand to
the extent that Holy Qur’aan is the
best Summary of their own Scriptures and it is their duty to take it quickly. But
on the contrary, they have fallen in the persistency that “They would not have
to do, what Qur’an says”. Due to this
stubbornness, Holy Qur’aan has become
reason of their depravity due to their persistency and disregard, and their
wickedness, obstinacy and infidelity increased too much.
The Holy Qur’aan is the Last Scripture out of those Scriptures which were
revealed from the side of Allaah
Almighty towards His servants. At the time of Its alighting, the Jews were also
existing, who had Torah, revealed before It, and the Christians were present
too, who had Gospel. It is fact that these people knew the Messenger of Allaah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) very well that He (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) is the Last Prophet, for Whom Abraham (peace be upon Him)
prayed and about whom Jesus (peace be upon Him) conveyed good news. But thoughts
of a little worldly gains and lust of animal like desires made them blind and
they got ready to oppose it. In their imitation, the Ignorant and illiterate
Arabian also were faster going in the enmity of Islam.
The Jews
and the Christians were told in the previous verses that it was better for them
to believe in this Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him) and His Scripture i.e. Holy Qur’aan.
They are going to err if do not believe in Them. Whereas, they lay but to stake
upon their obstinacy that they were the accepted servants of Allaah Almighty, they cannot be punished.
This conception of theirs has been falsified very strongly and described
clearly about the dependence of the deliverance.
Allaah Almighty has admonished that whether anyone say oneself a Muslim, a
Jew, a Christian or a Saabii etc.,
however, that is a mankind. There is only one way of deliverance from troubles,
pains and calamities that they should accept God (Allaah Almighty) as He is, believe in Him, known for the certainty
of the Day of Resurrection and do good works. Such person will be delivered
from fear, grief and pain forever. It is clear that the person, who believes in
Allaah Almighty, is impossible for
him/her not to believe in His Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him).
So, it is the condition of
freedom, “Believe in Allaah Almighty,
His all Messengers, Prophets and Angels (peace be upon Them), the Day of
Resurrection, and do good works”. There shall no fear come upon such persons
neither shall they grieve.
‘Amal se zindgi
banti hay Jannat bhi Jahannam bhi
Yeh khaaki apni
fitrat mein nah noori hay nah naari
(The life can be
made good (Paradise) or bad (Hell) by the deeds
This earthly (mankind)
is neither Angelus nor fiery in his nature)
