Quran Chapter 4- 53 & 54 (Pt-5, Stg-1) (L-554) - درس قرآن

The jealous of the mankind

Surah ‘An-Nisaaa’  (Women) – Chapter – 4) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

أَمْ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ مِّنَ ٱلْمُلْكِ فَإِذًالَّا يُؤْتُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ نَقِيرًا 53

 أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَىٰ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ فَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَآ ءَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مُّلْكًاعَظِيمًا 54

53.  Or have they even a share in the Sovereignty? Then in that case, they would not give mankind even the speck on a date-stone.   

54.  Or are they jealous of mankind because of that which Allah of His Bounty hath bestowed upon them? “So We bestowed upon the house of Abraham (of old) the Scripture and Wisdom, and We bestowed on them a mighty kingdom.
53.  ‘Am  lahum  nasiibum-minal-mulki  fa-‘izal-laa  yu’-tuu-nannaasa  naqiiraa.  

54.  ‘Am  yahsuduu-nan-naasa  ‘alaa  maaa  ‘aataahu-mUllaahu  min-fazliH.  Fa-qad  ‘aatayNaaa  ‘Aala-‘Ibraahiimal-Kitaaba  wal-Hikmata  wa  ‘aatayNaahum-mul-kan  ‘aziimaa. 

Commentary

Occasion of this verse’s revelation has been described that the Children of Israel used to consider that prophet-hood and lord-ship of the religion was their hereditary and right. Moreover, it should remain only in the dynasty of the children of Israel in every reign. Therefore, they used to take it as their disgrace in obeying the last Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), and say that ultimately they would succeed in getting sovereignty and kingdom. Due to saying the above-mentioned words by the Jews, this verse was revealed, “Have the Jews any share in the Sovereignty and kingdom?” It means that certainly they have no share. These people are so much stingy that if they become ruler or king, they will never give alms even equal to a seed of the sesame. That is to say; whenever they will get empire anywhere, they will not bestow on any beggar even equal to an atom.

Then Allah Almighty inquires, “Are the Jews grievous due to Bounty and the Liberality, which Allah Almighty has bestowed upon Muhammad, His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and His companions (sahaabah) (may Allah Almighty be pleased with them)? It is entirely their absurdity to envy for this purpose because We have bestowed upon the house of Abraham (peace be upon him) the Scripture and Wisdom, and We bestowed on them a mighty kingdom. Even now; these all are held in His (Abraham - peace be upon him) house as the last Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is from the descendants of Ishmael, who was too the son of Abraham (peace be upon them). Then it is not lawful for the Jews to envy and deny due to this reason.

When it was manifested upon the Jews that Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was a True Prophet of Allah Almighty and Holy Qur’an is His Real Word, then it was better for them to believe in Allah Almighty, to embrace Islam and to become brothers of the Muslims instead of maintaining malice and jealousy in their hearts. But they were misled as much in the greed and avarice of worldly respect and honor, wealth and property that they did not care for the Commands of Allah Almighty. They used to burn in the fire of jealousy and avarice, to stand opposite upon the infidelity and denial, and to be exhausted of the friendship with the enemies of Islam. They also used to remain misers and do stinginess. How can prophet-hood and sovereignty be given to the people like These?
