Commentary
‘Aslim – (Surrender, be obedient),
other meanings are ‘Embrace Islam’, that is to say, “Give yourself completely
in the charge of One God Almighty”. Accept His entire Commandments and consider
your duty to obey His entire Orders in every matter of your life. Islam has
also been derived from this word, which has basic meanings ‘to provide peace,
to wish well-being and safety, to yield”.
Ya’-quub – (the
Prophet Jacob (peace be upon Him), He was grandson of Prophet Abraham and son
of Prophet Isaac (peace be upon Them). His surname was Israel
‘As-tafaa – (has
chosen), ‘astafa means to choose, to purify from the
adulteration. The word Mus-tafaa has also come out from it, which means
‘chosen, respectable and selected’ (Messenger Muhammad – grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him).
The entire people of the Scripture and the
Idolaters of Makkah used to claim that they embrace the
religion of their Ancestors. They shall keep it up forever. And they shall
never embrace any fresh religion. Holy Qur’an described those people by mentioning
about Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) that the Ancestors, to whom you
believe and of which the religion you claim to follow, They have instructed
already to their followers/genealogy that they should follow the religion, to
which They were following Themselves, that is the religion of the Oneness of
God and Islamic nation. So if you believe in Them as your religious leaders and
Spiritual Guides, then you should know that Their real religion was the
religion unto which; Holy Qur’an has
been inviting you. Now you should believe in it. Prophet Abraham and Prophet
Jacob (peace be upon Them) have advised to their children that they should die
obeying Allah Almighty. Time of the death is uncertain. That’s why; it aims,
“remain Muslims always and provide place to the Faith in your hearts every
time”.
