Commentary
‘As-Silmi – (Islam)
literal meanings of Salama are truce and peace. And this word
comes opposite to war. Commentators have taken the meaning of ‘as-Silmi here
as Islam. The masters of the dictionary have also accepted this meaning of it.
Kaaaffatan – (one and all,
entire) origin of this word is kafafa which means ‘to
stop’. Kaaaffah means ‘enter into Islam completely and obey
Islam in all respects.
Khutuwaati – (the footsteps) its
singular is Khutuh, which means the footstep i.e. obedience
and Compliance.
Reason of the
Revelation of this verse is that a few Jews embraced Islam but they continued compliance
with the Jewish religion along with Islamic Divine also, for example;
considering the Saturday as a holy day, taking the meat and milk of camel as
forbidden and reciting Torah etc. Then some people used to make any false
belief by themselves or consider their any act as sacred and include their self
made beliefs in the religion along with the Islamic Teachings. Allah Almighty
revealed this verse to stop obeying other commands along with Islamic orders,
and commanded: Enter, into submission (unto Him) one and all. That is to say;
make neither false beliefs yourselves, nor follow the myths, nor execute other
teachings and nor that anything; you do not like or that which seems difficult
to you, not to believe in it.
Islam is neither only
the name of a few beliefs, nor it is the collection of a few prayers
(devotions), but it is the most perfect, superior and fine code for the entire
life. It guides in every field of life, fulfills all requirements of human
nature, shows favor in orders keeping in view one’s weaknesses, guides rightly
to reach the destination and instructs to get the supreme success of the
religion and the world. So it is necessary to embrace Islam wholeheartedly. It
is necessary to obey Islamic Instructions in every field of life (moral,
social, economical and political matters).
The People, who don’t do so, are as though
they follow the Devil’s footsteps whereas he is their open enemy. To hope for
good from him is extremely foolish and ignorance. Islam and Infidelity can’t
remain together. So either become completely the slaves of The Merciful
otherwise you have to follow the footsteps of the Devil, which is the only loss
forever.
