Lesson
‘Allaziina – (Those people, who), according to the
rules of grammar, this word is called “Relative Pronoun”. Singular of it is ‘allazii. This word has been used again and again in the Holy Qur-‘aan.
Yu’-minuuna – (they believe, have faith). This word has been
derived from ‘Iimaan. ‘Iimaan means Belief, ‘to admit the Truth of anything
with tongue, have faith in the heart about it and plan to act according to it.
That individual, who believes, comes in peace from all doubts. This is the
Belief, which is reliable in the Divine Law of the Religion.
Gaybi – it aims “such World, which is higher than this
apparent universe, the news about which, can only be known by means of any
Prophet (Peace be upon Him). For example: Nature and Attributes of God
Almighty, the Angels (peace be upon Them), the Paradise and the Hell, the Day
of Resurrection, the accounts of good manners and the evils (sins), rewards and
punishment according to personal acts etc. “The Belief in the Unseen” cannot be
perfect without Belief in the Prophet (Peace be upon Him).
It was narrated in
the previous lesson that Holy Qur-’aan is Code of Life for
those people, who desire to reap advantage from it being extremely sincere and
with pure intention, who have ability and excitement to live with care and look
after their own. And they have ambition to pass their lives with chastity and
cautiously.
First attribute of the
pious people has been described in this verse, which will grow into them with
the Guidance of Holy Qur-’aan i.e. they believe in such things without looking, existence of
which is higher than apparent senses.
Without belief, the
heart remains unsatisfied, restless and unstable, because without its existence
- doubts, hesitation, whims and suspicions make a room in the hearts. But a
believer does not fear in stress and strain, at the time of severe and painful
calamity and trial. Moreover, he gets encourage because he believes that he has
a big support and strong trust. And he gains happiness of his brain from it,
satisfaction of the heart and comfort of his soul. This faith in the World of
Unseen is marrow of the Religion and soul of Belief. Without it, the Belief
cannot be matured.
We prepared
ourselves for obtaining Guidance from Holy Qur-’aan and joined the people, who fear God Almighty. Now
we should produce such virtues in ourselves, according to the teachings of
Holy Qur’aan, for which, It has guided us. We should believe in all
the facts of Unseen without any hesitation, which have been caused to know us
by means of the last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
Our Lord! Bestow us
power, resources and strength, so that we may ward off evil and become Your
real slaves.
