Lesson
Holy Qur’an has put before us the
circumstances of the former people, not as successive history or complete
stories, but at different occasions, those circumstances have been described
again and again in different ways; from which, we may learn something and any
new useful matter may be known for dwelling. Till this time, the circumstances
of Prophet Adam, Noah, Hud, Salih, Lot, Shoaib and Moses (peace be upon Them) have been explained in this
Chapter, and in every incident; many useful things exist for us. Particularly,
we should learn much from the circumstance of the Children of Israel. These
people were present at that time; when foundation of human civilization was being
laid in that period. They were being taught “how to live straightforward and
peacefully, and those evils were being brought to fore, in which germs of human
destruction were hidden.
There is no
doubt in this matter that if the Children of Israel had obeyed the Commands of
Torah with true heart, then this dangerous map of the world would not have
existed, which, we have been looking now. Entire responsibility of putting the
human being on wrong path is on the same nation, who is called Israelite, the Children
of Israel or the Jews. The Holy Qur’an
has placed their necessary circumstances in front of us opened. First aim from it
is to induce the Jews unto a sense of their responsibility, along with it, it
is a stress for us that if they do not accept, you should abstain absolutely
from their inhumanity acts, so that; you may produce for the mankind; correct
way of living in this world, and may show yourselves as being an example of it.
And which responsibility was given to the Jews but they could not perform, now
you should complete it and prove yourself worthy of the title of “A Good
Nation”.
In the
previous lessons, attention was drawn to the invaluable benefits from time to
time, which we can acquire from the circumstances of the Children of Israel. At
this stage, while the circumstances of the Children of Israel have ended in
this Chapter, we should pay attention to those particular matters due to which,
the Children of Israel were deprived of being leaders of the mankind. And presently,
they have no work to do in the world save spreading the temptation and
destruction of the humanity:
They considered
that only the life of this world is everything. And despite losing the power of
sovereignty, they remained in this effort that helter shelter, they should
obtain the mastery and honor over others. The result of which was nothing
except that they spread confusion and disorder.
Collecting the
wealth and property and hoarding it with themselves had become their habit, and
they engaged in the effort of making and keeping other people as their
necessitous. It was the result that two permanent classes were in existence
into them i.e. the rich and the poor. Those two classes will remain existent always
and the rich will press the poor.
Nowadays, which
tension has been spreading among the capitalists and the laborers in the world
and both classes have been trying to choke each other, and have been
frightening to one another with atomic weapons, these entire are the results of
the Jewish mindset.
All these
things are necessary for us to avoid. We should not be involved in mutual
antagonism like the Jews, but should sow the seed of co-operation, alliance and
unity among ourselves; keeping the Islamic principle of equation and human
brotherhood in front of us.
Holy Qur’an does not tell the history of the
nations but describes the science of the history that “What can be learnt from
the life of the nations”?
