Lesson
Yattaquuna –
it has been derived from Waqi-yun
which means “to save, to guard”. Origin of the word under discussion is ‘Ittiqaaa’, which means “to escape
oneself, to abstain from, to be temperate”.
Hisaab – (calculation,
number and account). Here it aims “there acts
and deeds”. Zikraa – reminder, remembrance.
The Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) was commanded in the previous verse that He should not
have any relation with those indecent and mischievous people, who meddle with
the Revelations of Holy Qur’aan and withdraw
from them in such condition until they meddle with another topic.
When Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) caused to hear the people above quoted verse,
they said: We go to the House of Allaah
Almighty (the Masjid of Makkah) for Going Round and worship, and
the idolaters exist there also, and they use to meddle with us and our acts
every time, and mock badly with the Revelations of Holy Qur’aan. So have we been disallowed to go there? because if we
shall go there, certainly they will begin to do wicked talks more than earlier.
Although we go there for worship but participation in their meeting would be
unavoidable, and this act of ours would be against the command of this verse. Some
people said: How will they be corrected if we shall not go unto them?
The solution of this difficult has
been described in this verse that the person, who goes with the intention of
worship and Going Round the Ka’-bah
without having any concern with the wicked people, and knows bad their conduct,
and have patience upon their tyranny, then he will not be accountable for the badness
of their deeds. Because he has gone there for his own business and his only aim
is to go round the Ka’-bah and
worship. However everyone should try to cause to reach the admonition and
advice somehow up to their ears. He/she will be correct whose fortune will be
good.
It is commanded that those people
who escape from the wicked deeds and do not sit with them, they are not
accountable for their evil deeds. If any person has to attend the company of such
people due to any reason during their act of meddling the Revelations of Allaah Almighty, then he will not be
held as their partner and responsible, and he will not be punished against
their wicked acts, and neither can he admonish them at that time. Of course,
whenever any suitable situation is observed, he should try to admonish them, so
that whosoever of them desires to come to the Straight Path, may turn easily.
Some religious commentators say: There
is no sin for any such person of their going astray, who does not go for
admonishing those wicked people. Moreover the advice is better that haply they
too may ward off evil and the person, who advised, is rewarded.
