Lesson
Purpose of Holy Qur’aan has been explained in this verse
very clearly and the duty of the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) has been manifested well efficiently. The Object of Holy
Qur’aan is to establish a way of life
for us in the world. Therefore, there are Orders for the Acknowledged Virtues
and Prohibitions from the Sins (‘Amr bil Ma’-ruuf wa
nahii ‘anil munkar – the most important social
principal of Islam) in it “ENJOINING GOOD & FORBIDDING EVIL”.
It is the duty of Our Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) to convey the Message of Allaah Almighty (Holy Qur’aan) to the people clearly and
establish the method of following by acting upon it Himself and then hand over
this duty to His nation, and they should not let this “Established Way” be
effaced and help one another to make it easy to be followed. So that, the human
beings may not have any excuse that they could not know well “the Way of Islam”.
After that, it is the only duty of
entire mankind that they should believe in the Last Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him), have faith in the Scripture, brought by Him
i.e. Holy Qur’aan, follow His Sayings
(‘Ahaadiis), try to recite and
meditate in the Holy Qur’aan and
carry on this practice during the entire life time.
It is not everyone’s duty to seek
causes of the commands and think, “I shall not act upon this command until I
shall not be aware of its usefulness”. At first, believing in it is compulsory
that “That is certainly advantageous for me, for which I have been instructed by
Allaah Almighty and His Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) to do, whether I may know its
usefulness or not. And surely there is my loss from the beginning to the end,
in those deeds from which I have been prevented, whether I may know it or not”.
The aim of this verse is that the
people, after believing, should obey Allaah
Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
without any hesitation, and keep themselves be saved from opposing the Law
prescribed by Holy Qur’aan. “It is
advantageous for you. And if you did not care and turned away from it then,
Remember and beware! That the duty of Our Messenger (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) is only clear conveyance of Our Message, which has been
delivered to you properly. Now you will be responsible yourselves”.
