هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِنْهُ ءَايَٰتٌمُّحْكَمَٰتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَٰبِهَٰتٌ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَٰبَهَ مِنْهُ ٱبْتِغَآءَ ٱلْفِتْنَةِ وَٱبْتِغَآءَ تَأْوِيلِهِۦ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُۥٓإِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَٱلرَّٰسِخُونَ فِى ٱلْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ 7
When
Christians of Najraan were
rendered helpless from all obvious arguments of the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), they said, “Hindmost you also
believe in Jesus (peace be upon him) as the Spirit of God and Word of Allah. It
is sufficient to prove our claim.” The reply of their useless objection has
been given here in a simple way. Many dissensions and doubts can be dispelled
after understanding them.
Allah
Almighty commanded that there are two types of Revelations in Holy Qur’aan and
other Heavenly Scriptures like Torah and Gospel etc.
- Those
verses which have ‘known’ and ‘certain’ meanings. Such verses are called ‘Aayaatum-Muh-kamaatun and
in fact root and essence of the entire teachings of the Scripture are
these Revelations.
- Name
of the other type of Revelations is Mutashaa-bihaat.
That is to say, some doubt happens in knowing the meanings of such verses.
Correct
way is that the meaning of second type of verses should be seen in the light of
first type of verses. Which meanings seem opposite, those should be refuted. If
the meaning does not become manifest despite effort, even then he should not
cross the limits who seeks the meanings. No individual is omniscient that he
may know everything. He should remain silent; thinking about his knowledge. He
should not issue the meanings with wrong method, which is against universally
accepted principles of religion and clear Revelations. For example, Holy Qur’aan has
explained about Jesus (peace be upon him) ‘Inna
huwa ‘illaa ‘abdun ‘An-‘am-Naa ‘alay-hi (Indeed
he is a servant only, to whom We favored). It guides us at another place, ‘Inna
masala ‘Iisaa ‘indAllaahi kamasali ‘Aadama
khalaq-tahuu min tu-raabin (Likeness
of Jesus is just like Adam. Allah created him from the earth). And it has also
been proved at some other places that Jesus (peace be upon him) is neither God,
nor son of God.
Now
if any person runs behind resemblances of (KalmaHullaah) ‘The
Word of Allah’ and (RuuhUllaah) ‘The
Spirit of God’ etc. by closing his eyes from all these Muhkamaat. And
takes such superficial meanings, which are against the common explanation of
the Scripture, by leaving those meanings which are suitable to the clear
verses, he is surely obstinate and perverse. Some malevolent people want to
ensnare the people astray by misleading them. And some people, who are weak in
their belief, wish to imply such Mutashaa-bihaat (allegorical
verses) according to their own judgment and will. Whereas only Allah Almighty
Knows their true meanings.
Those people who have strong knowledge, they
recognize the ‘Aayaatum-Muh-kamaat and Mutashaa-bihaat from
Allah Almighty. They believe that the both types of Revelations are revealed
from the same source. Therefore, they try to understand Mutashaa-bihaat in
the light of Muhkamaat and
which part is out of their sense; they leave it upon Allah Almighty because He
is the best Knower.
In short, it is the duty of a common person
who has ordinary knowledge that he should not wrangle with Mutashaa-bihaat,
which have more than one meaning. He should ask its meaning from religious
scholars, and which verses have clear meanings, he should act corresponding to
them without any delay and Reluctance.
