Commentary
The Messenger
of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was
instructed in the previous verse that He should treat the Believers cheerfully
and it was commanded: Do not keep any dealing connection with those, who want
to be great and are haughty in the intoxication of their wealth and property,
even that they wish not to sit along with the poor and insolvent people. You
have admonished them, what You desired. Turn away from them now, if they do not
hear. And convey the good news of Allah’s Forgiveness and Mercy to those
poor people, who come unto You, act upon Your Sayings happily after listening,
and admonish them the teachings of Islam and Holy Qur’aan.
The Duty of the Messenger
of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has
been expounded in this verse more clearly and commanded: Say to these despotic
and haughty people who are like Pharaoh and Haman! I have not come
in the world for your flattery that I would do according to your instructions
and regard your willingness. Neither have I any greed from you and nor I desire
any service from you. I observe that your desires are just like animals. I
shall renounce from the Straight Path, which Allah Almighty has shown
Me, if I too follow your desires, and will go astray in the dark like you. Take
a thought now in the meanings of this verse.
It is commanded! Say {O
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)} to these stupid
people who do not hear your Sayings: My wisdom and that Light, which Allah Almighty
has produced in My Heart by Inspiration, does never permit Me that I begin to
call your gods like you leaving Allah Almighty, worship them and ask
them for boon. These are your self-made, false and deceiving words. Your evil
desires have compelled you to accept them. I would not have to follow your
desires. I shall also go astray if I shall follow your sayings giving up the
Revealed Instructions by Allah Almighty, and then there will not be any sign of
the Straight Path.
It is known very clearly from
this verse that the Spiritual Guides should never flatter the rich and
effectual class of the people. Moreover, the Truth should be spoken out
clearly, inconsiderate, unhesitatingly and without any partiality. They should
be made courageous who believe in the Truth, whether they are poor and
insolvent, and the religious teachings should be taught to them. The Provider
of everything to everyone is only Allah Almighty and the entire are
indigent of His only, then why should not everything be begged from Him, only
He must be obeyed and His consent be gotten. You cannot obey Him if you follow
someone else.
