Lesson
‘Aawaw –
(took in), it is a past tense, which has been derived from the word maawaa. Maawaa means “residence,
dwelling, abode”. ‘Iiwaa-‘un means “to
provide place for living to someone else”.
At that time, the Muslims had been
divided at two places. Some had come in Madinah
with the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him) after migration from Makkah,
whereas some of them were staying still there and used to live together with
the Infidels of Makkah. In this part
of the verse; their relationship has been described which was required to be
among the Muslims of Madinah mutually.
It is commanded that those people
who believed, then migrated to Madinah
and left their homes, and endowed their wealth and lives (both) for the Cause
of God Almighty + (plus) those local Muslims of Madinah; who provided place and all other necessities of life for
living to the Immigrants of Makkah,
these both kinds of people are protecting friends and supporters one of
another.
First kind of Muslims are called Muhajir (one who quits his native land),
who accompanied the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) on His departure from Makkah
to Madinah. Second kind of people is;
those Muslims who are original inhabitants of Madinah. They are called “Ansaar”.
It has been described in this verse
that these both groups make One collective community altogether. Their internal
and external relations will be run on the same one way. Internal management
will be one for all. In the beginning, Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) arranged this form that one Muhajir was made brother of one Ansaari, to such degree that an Ansaari handed over his one half wealth
to his Muhajir brother and kept with
him the second half.
These both persons were heirs mutually
of each other too. That is to say; the Muslims of Madinah used to bring every matter to a conclusion with cooperation
mutually. Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him) was their Leader, Chieftain and a Guide. Their Law was Holy Qur’an. If they had to make a treaty of
peace with any external tribe, that was collective and if they used to fight; it
was also collectively. There was no difference of opinion into them in any
matter.
