Lesson
It is a narration
about common behavior of the Hypocrites of Madinah. They could not
succeed due to the behavior of the Muslims, which they adopted with them in
those days, according to the Instructions of Holy Qur’an, otherwise they
would have stopped the Muslims, from going forth, by entrapping them in their
own wrangling.
The verses
of Holy Qur’an guided the Muslims that they should increase their
strength and community sincerely, not be deceived from apparent prosperity,
pomp and show of the hypocrites. They should remain busy always in planning “how
to make and keep them weak and unarmed”. Otherwise it manifests from their
character and conduct that they will try their best that the Muslims should not
get strong.
Then once
again, the intention has been drawn in this verse, particularly towards their
public behavior. It is commanded: Apparently those people are on very intimate
terms with Muslims. But when they are asked to do some work, then they evade of
various sorts and try to run away.
When a
command is revealed in any Surah: Believe in Allah Almighty
wholeheartedly, help the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) in every condition when He comes out for
fighting against the enemy for self protection, and sacrifice your lives and
wealth for safety of the Muslims along with Him (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). Then at that time you see, powerful, strong
and rich people of them come sobbing and making their mouth like wretch people
and say: What should we do now? We have been suffering from such condition that
we are unable to go forth and participate in the battle along with you at this
time. We wish wholeheartedly that we should partake, but the circumstances do
not permit us. Therefore, kindly grant us leave; that we should be left behind along
with those, who are being left behind unwanted and who are unable to move; as
children, women, crippled and old people, whereas these all are their false pretexts.
In fact, they do not believe in Allah Almighty and consider nothing to His
Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi
wa AaliHii Wasallam).
