Lesson
Tarabba-suuna – (you await), the origin of this
word is tarabbasun, which has been derived from the word rab-sun. Rab-sun
means “to await for someone’s goodness or badness”. Tarabba-sun has the
equal meaning of it.
‘Al-husna-yayni – (two good things), this word is
plural of ‘al-husnaa, which is ‘af-‘alul-taf-ziil from has-nun,
and feminine of ‘ah-sanu, that is to say; the best thing.
The Hypocrites
used to await always that the Muslims should be defeated and afflicted. Answer to
their thinking has been given in the previous verse that the Muslims neither
care for the afflictions of the world and nor they run behind pleasures. Their only
duty is to obey the Commands of God Almighty. Every individual suffers from afflictions
a few or more in the world. The Muslims consider it prescribed fate from Allah
Almighty. According to that fate, sometimes the mankind will enjoy and
sometimes will suffer from afflictions.
It is
commanded that “you can think about us for two things – victory or defeat. Both
are good for us. If we got victory; then we would be heroes, we shall possess
the spoils of war and get title of ‘obedient servants of God Almighty’. If we
are defeated, we would be martyrs, and for the martyrs; there are ready two
blessings on the Day of Resurrection – which cannot be thought by any human
being in this world. You are disobedient servants of Allah Almighty. Certainly,
you will be punished for it. Or you will suffer from any big affliction. Or you
will be destroyed and ruined by our hands”.
The world
has observed that at last; the Muslims succeeded and got prosperity, whereas the
Infidels, Idolaters and Hypocrites were defeated, wretched and disgraced. It
all was the Result of acting upon the Commands of Holy Qur’aan and
Instructions of God’s last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him). When they gave up these both things, then the Muslims did not remain Muslims
in actual meanings, and the fate of unbelievers was opened.
