Lesson
In the previous verse, we were taught the method
of supplication in the Court of God Almighty for showing us the Straight Path.
Now, it has been explained about the Straight Path in this verse. The entire
matters of guidance and perfect knowledge have been signified in the Holy Qur-’aan.
God Almighty has sent down abundant practical patterns {Prophets and Messengers
(peace be upon Them)} with His Grace and Kindness for human beings, so that it
may be easy to follow them by keeping their chaste lives before us and choosing
the right path. Therefore, Allah Almighty taught us supplication that He should
run us on the foot-prints of His beloved Servants, whom He has favored.
Mention of the persons, who have been favored,
exists in the Verse # 4: 69 (Surah ‘an-Nisaa’). Translation of that
verse is, “Whoso obeyed God and the Messenger, they are with those unto whom
Allah hath shown favor, of the Prophets and the Saints and the Martyrs and the
Righteous. And what a best of company are they indeed.”
The Prophets and The Messengers (peace be upon Them) – are such chosen
Persons, whom Allah Almighty has selected to convey His message unto His human
creature (mankind). There is no possibility of mistake or error in the
teachings of any Prophet (peace be upon Him). Prophet remains
innocent and protected from the sins. Many news of the lives of the
Prophets (peace be upon Them) have been described abundantly in the
Holy Qur’an. Chieftain of the pure class of Prophets is the Last
Messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon Them). His all holy Habits and
Sayings have been protected in writing. Our success in this life and
deliverance on the Day of Resurrection is hidden in obeying the commands of the
last holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
Siddique – (A Faithful Witness of the Truth). Siddique comes at the second position after Prophets (peace be upon
Them). These people achieve very higher grades by following
the teachings of The Prophets (peace be upon Them), like Abu Bakr
Siddique (Radi Allaahu ‘anhu), the First Caliph of The
Last Messenger (peace be upon Him). Siddique is title of Joseph
(peace be upon him) along with His Prophet-hood, and Abu Bakr (may God be pleased with Him).
The Martyrs. Those venerable individuals, who are influenced
particularly by the teachings of Prophets (peace be upon Them). They
have full belief in the promises of God and rewards (after death) of the good
works. And they are inclined to such stage that they fall a sacrifice. God
Almighty bestows them the eternal life.
The Righteous. Those servants of God Almighty who try
wholeheartedly to follow the Prophets (peace be upon
Them) with all possible ways. These all great people become example for
them who come after them.
God Almighty commands us
in this verse: “The Straight and Right Path is that, on which, the laureate
persons went. The success is in following their foot-steps”.
