The aim of the Revelation of
Holy Qur’aan has been described very clearly in the previous
verses. It has been made incumbent upon the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) and care of Him, upon the entire Muslim nation, that
they should keep this object in front and fulfill it, as it appears from the
meaning of above-mentioned verse.
It has been mentioned in the
previous verse: The Holy Qur’aan has been inspired upon
Muhammad, the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) that the people, who exist at the spot, should be warned
by this source (Holy Qur’aan) that there is a very severe danger in
either opposing it or not drawing proper attention towards it. And it is the
duty of all Muslims to manifest this subject (not only these people, who are
present, but by means of them, also of those human beings, whom this Holy Qur’aan reaches
until the Day of Resurrection.
It is open that this Holy Word
will reach up to more people even after the departure of the Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). At that time, the Messenger
of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
will not grace the world with His presence. So this duty will rest upon His
nation; that they should inform the people about the threat of not acting upon
the commands, mentioned in Holy Qur’aan. And they should explain
its meaning in such a manner that nobody would have any objection that “we were
not taught like this, otherwise we would have thought on its commandments, and
acted upon them”.
It is known clearly from this
verse that Muhammad is the last Prophet and Messenger
of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and
the Holy Qur’aan is the Last Scripture, which was revealed in
the world. No inspiration will be revealed upon anyone after it. It is why that
it has been revealed: “Allah is Witness between me and you. And this Qur’aan hath
been inspired in me, that I may warn therewith you and whomsoever it may reach”
(with effect from His time to the Day of Resurrection): verse 19a. it is Your
and Your nation’s duty after You (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him) to teach all of them.
The Messenger
of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
performed His duty in such a manner that He caused to hear the people by
reciting the Holy Qur’aan and guided: You should continue your
effort also to deliver it up to other people like Me. He (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) was not satisfied to cause to hear only but
explained the meanings of Holy Qur’aan. And He acted upon it with
such a practice that He set the importance of its commands in the hearts of the
people properly.
There are two parts of this
Duty:
1. Learning the words of Holy Qur’aan own by heart
and conveying them up to other people, and as the Messenger
of Allah Almighty acted upon it and that, what He commanded to cause
to know its meanings, which are called Hadith (Sayings of the
Messenger), keep it also safe and cause to reach others.
2. Informing the human beings about its importance and necessity
for the human life.
The Muslims performed first
part of the duty to some extent, but sorry to say! Duty of the second part
could not be performed properly as it needed. The value of any practical
program, as it is Holy Qur’aan, can remain established, when it
will be respected personally and properly. To advice others, but not to follow
personally, makes the advice useless. With which mouth I say that Islam has the
best way of life, whereas I don’t act upon it strictly myself? Verbally I
praise it very much, but when the time for action comes, I learn from others
“how to dwell” and adopt their ways of living. Observe nowadays, as much as fun
and play, immodesty and obscenity, wickedness and immorality, deceit and
treachery is customary in others, that is, but more than them is customary in
the Muslims. But verbally they (the Muslims) say:
Fear Allah Almighty, be pious and adopt abstinence. Is it not
unforgivable crime and sin?
