Commentary
HabLillaahi - (the Cable of Allah), besides literal meanings of Habl as
cable, it also means ‘covenant’, promise’ in Arabic language. Moreover, each
that thing, which may be used as affinity, can be meant too with it. In this
verse, the aim from bringing the word HabLillaahi is
“Holy Qur’an and Divine Law of Islam”,
holding of which is the source of success in this world and deliverance on the
Day of Judgment.
jamii-‘an - (all together), that is to say; all the people of Muslim
nation should hold fast the Cable of Allah Almighty with amity and alliance
collectively.
‘A’-tasimuu - (hold fast), ‘i’-tisaam means to hold fast
and grasp strongly. It desires that the Word of Allah Almighty be propped very
strongly with intention and stability, be acted upon it and be made it aim of
one’s life.
Allah Almighty has
caused to know the policy in this verse. If that policy is adopted then the
Muslim nation can be saved from the conspiracies, evil and dissensions of the
enemies. As that, if all of you together will hold fast the Holy Qur’an, Divine Islamic Law and will act
upon it, then no devilish power may overcome you, and no evildoer will be able
to mislead and cause you to go astray.
In the previous
verse, the persons of the nation were instructed that they all should better
their own lives. They should live a life of God fearing and pious persons;
remain living in Islam and die in Islam. Now it has been commanded to the
Muslim Ummah in this verse that after setting their personal
lives, they should hold fast, all of them together, to the Cable of Allah and should
not be disjoined. When it will be done so, then their collective lives will
also be unshaken and will not be able to seize like their individual lives. Due
to this act, the distracted powers are assembled and a dead nation gets new
life.
To hold fast the
Holy Qur’an is ordered by Allah
Almighty. It is such a recipe that by using it, the entire political,
economical, social, moral and worldly evils of the nation run away. Holy Qur’an teaches the lesson of success in
this world as well as it promises about honor and triumph in the Hereafter. Its
teachings comprehend upon all points of view of the human life. The Word of
Allah Almighty describes us solution of our entire individual and collective
problems. Overall, it is a complete Code of life. Mystery of Success and
exaltation of the Muslim nation is hidden in its following.
To hold fast the Holy Qur’an does not mean to hold it with hands only. Like this, it does
not aim to keep it in view each time that everything is labeled with it, its
verses are searched for each desire and the object is attained by winning over
their meanings.
