Nagpawalang-kapintasan kay Allāh – kaluwalhatian sa Kanya at pagkataas-taas Siya – at nagpabanal sa Kanya laban sa bawat hindi nababagay sa kanya ang anumang nasa mga langit at ang anumang nasa lupa. Siya ay ang Makapangyarihan na hindi nadadaig ng isa man, ang Marunong sa paglikha Niya, pagtatakda Niya, at batas Niya.
Göklerde ve yerdekiler Allah -Subhanehu ve Teâlâ-’ya yakışmayan/layık olmayan her türlü şeyden O'nu tenzih ederler ve yüceltirler. O; Azîz'dir/hiç kimsenin galip gelemeyeceği mutlak galiptir. Yaratmasında, şeriatinde ve takdir etmesinde çok hikmet sahibidir.
Seluruh makhluk yang ada di langit dan di bumi menyucikan Allah dari segala yang tidak pantas bagi-Nya dan Dia Mahaperkasa yang tidak ada seorang pun yang mampu mengalahkan-Nya, lagi Mahabijaksana dalam penciptaan-Nya, takdir-Nya, dan syariat-Nya.
Allah cho chúng ta biết rằng tất cả mọi vạn vật trong các tầng trời và mọi vạn vật dưới đất đều tán dương ca ngợi Ngài bởi Ngài là Đấng Toàn Năng, không có ai (vật gì) có thể vượt qua quyền năng của Ngài và Ngài là Đấng Sáng Suốt và Khôn Ngoan trong lời nói và hành động.
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth declares the transcendence and purity of Allah (may He be glorified) from everything that is not appropriate for Him. He is the Mighty whom none can overpower, Wise in His creating, decrees and laws.
Commentary
Background of the revelation
Tirmidhi has recorded, on the authority of Sayyidna ` Abdullah Ibn Salam ؓ ، that a group of Companions discussed among themselves that if we come to know which is the dearest of actions in the sight of Allah, we shall act upon it. Hakim reported this Tradition and graded its chain as sahib'. Baghawi in his citation added the following words: "If we come to know which is the dearest of actions in the sight of Allah, we shall dedicate our lives and wealth to it." [ Mazhari ].
Ibn Kathir, with reference to Musnad of Ahmad, reports that some of the Companions gathered and wanted someone to go to Allah's Messenger ﷺ and ask him about the action that is dearest to Allah, but no one dared to do so. Whilst this discussion was going on, the Holy Messenger ﷺ sent a man to call each one of them by name. When they all arrived, the Holy Prophet ﷺ recited the entire Surah As-Saff which had been revealed just then. This Surah shows that the 'dearest action' they were looking for was jihad in the cause of Allah' and their statement that 'if we come to know about it, we shall dedicate our lives in acting upon it' was a sort of claim of having ability to do it. At this, they are admonished that it is not proper for any believer to make such a claim, because no one can for sure know whether he will be able to implement his intentions when the time arrives. It is not in his power that all the causes of action are made effective and all impediments are removed. Nor are the abilities and strengths of his hands or arms or limbs or organs altogether in his power. Nor is his determination or intention completely in his control. Therefore, even the Holy Prophet ﷺ has been instructed in the Qur'an, thus:
وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّـهُ
"And never say about anything, 'I am going to do this tomorrow, unless [ you say - 'if ] Allah wills.) [ 18: 23-24]
Although the intention of the blessed Companions was not to make a boastful claim, it did seem apparently as a claim, which Allah dislikes. If a person makes a commitment to do something in the future, he needs to surrender it to the Divine will and affirm it by saying 'If Allah wills'. The following verses are revealed to admonish the believers.
Todo lo que hay en los cielos y en la Tierra declara la trascendencia y la pureza de Al-lah de todo lo que no es propio de Él. Él es el poderoso a Quien nadie puede vencer, sabio en Su creación, decretos y leyes.
"Bertasbih bagi Allah apa saja yang ada di langit dan apa saja yang ada di bumi; dan Dia-lah Yang Mahaperkasa lagi Maha-bijaksana. Hai orang-orang yang beriman, mengapa kamu menga-takan apa yang tidak kamu perbuat. Amat besar kebencian di sisi Allah bahwa kamu mengatakan apa-apa yang tiada kamu kerja-kan." (Ash-Shaf: 1-3).
Madaniyah
"Dengan Menyebut Nama Allah Yang Maha Pengasih Lagi Maha Penyayang."
(1) Ini adalah penjelasan tentang keagungan dan keperka-saan Allah سبحانه وتعالى, segala sesuatu tunduk padaNya. Seluruh yang ada di langit dan di bumi bertasbih dengan memuji, menyembah, dan meminta segala kebutuhan kepada Rabb mereka. ﴾ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ﴿ "Dan Dia-lah Yang Mahaperkasa," Yang memaksa segala sesuatu dengan keperkasaan dan KuasaNya, ﴾ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ﴿ "lagi Mahabijaksana," dalam penciptaan dan perintahNya.
(2-3) ﴾ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفۡعَلُونَ ﴿ "Hai orang-orang yang beriman, mengapa kamu mengatakan apa yang tidak kamu perbuat," mak-sudnya, mengapa kalian mengatakan kebaikan dan mendorongnya, dan boleh jadi kalian memuji-muji kebaikan itu namun tidak kalian lakukan? Mengapa kalian melarang keburukan, boleh jadi kalian sucikan diri kalian dari keburukan tersebut namun kalian lakukan bahkan menjadi sifat kalian? Lantas apakah kondisi tercela seperti ini pantas bagi orang-orang yang beriman? Bukankah amat besar murka Allah سبحانه وتعالى pada orang yang mengatakan sesuatu namun tidak dikerjakan? Karena itu, orang yang memerintahkan berbuat baik seharusnya menjadi orang pertama yang melakukannya. Dan orang yang melarang keburukan seharusnya menjadi orang yang paling jauh darinya. Allah سبحانه وتعالى berfirman,
﴾ أَتَأۡمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلۡبِرِّ وَتَنسَوۡنَ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ تَتۡلُونَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ 44 ﴿
"Mengapa kamu suruh orang lain (mengerjakan) kebaktian, sedang kamu melupakan diri (kewajiban)mu sendiri, padahal kamu membaca al-Kitab, maka tidakkah kamu berpikir?" (Al-Baqarah: 44).
Nabi Syu'aib عليه السلام berkata kepada kaumnya,
﴾ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنۡ أُخَالِفَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنۡهَىٰكُمۡ عَنۡهُۚ ﴿
"Dan aku tidak berkehendak mengerjakan apa yang aku larang kamu darinya." (Hud: 88).
1- Göklerde ve yerde ne varsa hepsi Allah’ı tesbih eder. O Azîzdir, Hakîmdir.
2- Ey iman edenler! Yapmadığınız/yapmayacağınız şeyleri niçin söylersiniz?
3- Yapmadığınız/yapmayacağınız şeyleri söylemeniz, Allah katında büyük bir öfkeye neden olur.
(Medine’de inmiştir. 14 âyettir)
Rahmân ve Rahîm Allah’ın adı ile.
1. Bu buyruk, Yüce Allah’ın azametini, hakimiyetini, her şeyin O’nun önünde boyun eğdiğini açıklamakta, aynı zamanda göklerde ve yerde bulunan her şeyin Rabbini hamd ile tesbih ettiğini, O’na ibadet ettiğini ve ihtiyaçlarını O’ndan isteğini de ifade etmektedir.
"O Azîzdir.” Gücü ve mutlak egemenliği ile her şeyi hakimiyeti altında tutandır.
"Hakîmdir.” Yaratmada ve verdiği emirlerde hikmeti sonsuz olandır.
2-3. Kendiniz yapmadığınız halde ne diye hayırlı şeyler söyler ve ona teşvik edersiniz, hatta bunları işlemiş gibi övünürsünüz? Kötülüğe bulanmış ve kötü vasıflara sahip iken kötülükten sakındırır hatta kimi zaman kendinizin kötülükten uzak olduğunuzu nasıl söylersiniz? Bu çirkin hal hiç mü’minlere yakışır mı? Halbuki Allah nezdinde en büyük gazaba sebep olan husus, kulun yapmadığı şeyleri söylemesidir. Bundan dolayı iyiliği emreden kimsenin herkesten önce o iyiliğe koşması, kötülükten sakındıran kimsenin de herkesten önce o kötülükten kaçınması gerekir.
Yüce Allah şöyle buyurmaktadır:“İnsanlara iyiliği emredip de kendinizi unutuyor musunuz? Halbuki Kitabı da okuyup durursunuz. Hâlâ akıllanmayacak mısınız?”(el-Bakara, 2/44); Şuayb aleyhisselam da kavmine şöyle demiştir: “Size yasakladığım şeylere kendim uymayarak size (emrettiklerime) aykırı davranmak istemem.”(Hud, 11/88)
Glorifica Allāh, gloria Sua, l'Altissimo, ciò che è nei cieli e ciò che è in terra, elevandolo al di sopra di ogni cosa che non Gli si addice; ed Egli è Il Potente, Colui che nessuno può vincere, il Saggio nella Sua Creazione, nel Suo Decreto e nella Sua Legge.
Sve što postoji na nebesima i na Zemlji Allaha slavi i veliča na način da od Njega negira sve što Mu ne priliči. On je Silni kojeg ništa ne može savladati i On je mudar u onome što stvara, određuje i propisuje.
Which was revealed in Madina
The Virtues of Surat As-Saff
Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin Salam said, "We asked, `Who among us should go to the Messenger ﷺ and ask him about the dearest actions to Allah' None among us volunteered. The Messenger ﷺ sent a man to us and that man gathered us and recited this Surah, Surat As-Saff, in its entirety."'
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Chastising Those Who say what They do not do
We mentioned in many a places before the meaning of Allah's statement,
سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَمَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
(Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth glorifies Allah. And He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.) Therefore, we do not need to repeat its meaning here. Allah's statement,
يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لاَ تَفْعَلُونَ
(O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do) This refutes those who neglect to fulfill their promises. This honorable Ayah supports the view that several scholars of the Salaf held, that it is necessary to fulfill the promise, regardless of whether the promise includes some type of wealth for the person receiving the promise or otherwise. They also argue from the Sunnah, with the Hadith recorded in the Two Sahihs in which Allah's Messenger ﷺ said,
«آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَاثٌ: إِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ، وَإِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ، وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَان»
(There are three signs for a hypocrite: when he promises, he breaks his promise; when speaks, he lies; and when he is entrusted, he betrays.) And in another Hadith in the Sahih,
«أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقًا خَالِصًا،وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْ نِفَاقٍ حَتْى يَدَعَهَا»
(There are four characteristics which if one has all of them, he is the pure hypocrite, and if anyone has any of them, he has a characteristic of hypocrisy, until he abandons it.) So he mentioned breaking the promise among these four characteristics. We mentioned the meaning of these two Hadiths in the beginning of the explanation of Sahih Al-Bukhari, and to Allah is the praise and the thanks. Therefore Allah implied this meaning, when He continued His admonishment by saying,
كَبُرَ مَقْتاً عِندَ اللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُواْ مَا لاَ تَفْعَلُونَ
(Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do.) Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud recorded that `Abdullah bin `Amir bin Rabi`ah said, "Allah's Messenger ﷺ came to us while I was a young boy, and I went out to play. My mother said, `O `Abdullah! Come, I want to give you something.' Allah's Messenger ﷺ said to her,
«وَمَا أَرَدْتِ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ؟»
(What did you want to give him) She said, `Dates.' He said,
«أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلِي كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكِ كَذْبَة»
(If you had not given them to him, it would have been written as a lie in your record.)" Muqatil bin Hayyan said, "The faithful believers said, `If we only knew the dearest good actions to Allah, we would perform them.' Thus, Allah told them about the dearest actions to Him,saying,
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَـتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِهِ صَفّاً
(Verily, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in rows) Allah stated what He likes, and they were tested on the day of Uhud. However, they retreated and fled, leaving the Prophet behind. It was about their case that Allah revealed this Ayah:
يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لاَ تَفْعَلُونَ
(O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do) Allah says here, `The dearest of you to Me, is he who fights in My cause."' Some said that it was revealed about the gravity of fighting in battle, when one says that he fought and endured the battle, even though he did not do so. Qatadah and Ad-Dahhak said that this Ayah was sent down to admonish some people who used to say that they killed, fought, stabbed, and did such and such during battle, even though they did not do any of it. Sa`id bin Jubayr said about Allah's statement,
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَـتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِهِ صَفّاً
(Verily, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in rows (ranks)) "Before Allah's Messenger ﷺ began the battle against the enemy, he liked to line up his forces in rows; in this Surah, Allah teaches the believers to do the same." He also said that Allah's statement,
كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَـنٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ
(as if they were a solid structure.) means, its parts are firmly connected to each other; in rows for battle. Muqatil bin Hayyan said, "Firmly connected to each other." Ibn `Abbas commented on the meaning of the Ayah,
كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَـنٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ
(as if they were a solid structure.) by saying, "They are like a firm structure that does not move, because its parts are cemented to each other."
Tout ce qui se trouve dans les Cieux et sur la Terre purifie et sanctifie Allah de ce qui ne Lui sied pas. Il est le Puissant à qui personne ne tient tête, le Sage dans ce qu’Il crée, détermine et prescrit.
O vi koji vjerujete u Allaha, zašto govorite da ste nešto uradili, a u stvarnosti niste ga uradili, kao npr. što neki govore: "Borio sam se svojom sabljom i udario", a to nije učinio.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿2﴾ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّـهِ أَن تَقُولُوا مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿3﴾
(0 those who believe, why do you say what you do not do? It is severely hateful in Allah's sight that you say what you do not do...61:2-3)
Apparently, the phrase 'what you do not do' implies that one should not claim to do something he does not intend to do. From this it may be deduced that it is prohibited to make a commitment to do a work while a person does not have the genuine intention to really do it, because this would be ostentation and a false commitment. Obviously, the blessed Companions, in the story of the background of revelation, were not making such promises without having intention to fulfill them. Instead, their intention was genuine. From this we learn that the verse includes a situation where a person commits to do something with true intention to do it, but relies solely on his own strength, it is not in keeping with his station of ` abdiyyah or 'servitude'. First of all, there is no need to make such a claim. If the occasion does arise to do something, he may go ahead and do it. If, for some reason or the other, a person has to make a promise or claim, he may affirm it by saying 'If Allah wills'. In this way, it would not be a boastful claim.
Ruling
It follows from the above discussion that if a person claims that he will do something in future but has no intention to do it, it is a major sin (kabirah) and a cause of incurring Allah's wrath. The sentence: كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّـهِ "It is severely hateful in Allah's sight that you say what you do not do....[ 61:3] " applies to this situation. However, in a situation where one makes a claim to do something in future with real intention to do it, it is makruh [ reprehensible ] and forbidden only if he makes the claim relying on his own strength and ability.
Difference between a Claim (Da` wa) and Preaching (Da'wah)
It is learnt from the foregoing discussion that these verses are related to false claims (Da` wa) to do something in future without intention to do it, which incurs Divine displeasure and indignation. This verse is not related to a situation where a preacher invites others to do something, while he himself does not do it. The rules of this situation are mentioned in other verses and Ahadith. For example: أَتَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ , (Do you bid others to righteousness while you ignore your own selves) [ 2:44] This verse puts to shame such preachers who do not practice what they preach. The import of this verse is that when they are preaching to others, they should preach to themselves with greater force, and if they are calling other people to do good deeds, they too should practice them.
All this does not imply that if a person has been lax in the performance of good deeds, he should abandon preaching to others. Or if he has been indulging in any kind of sin, he should not forbid others from indulging in such sins. It needs to be borne in mind that the performance of a righteous deed is one form of virtue, and urging others to perform this righteous deed is another form of virtue in its own right. Obviously, if one has abandoned one form of virtue, it does not necessarily follow that he should abandon the other form as well. It is possible that through the blessing of the preachment, the preacher might develop the ability to perform the righteous deed. This has been experienced widely and on a large scale. However, if the deed belongs to the category of wajib or sunnah mu'akkadah, it is obligatory, in the light of the verses, to continuously show remorse and regret on one's not practicing it. And if the action belongs to the category of mustahabbat, it is mustahab [ rewardable ] to show remorse and regret.
Này hỡi những người tin tưởng Allah! Sao các ngươi lại nói: Chúng tôi đã làm điều gì đó, trong khi thực tế các ngươi đã không làm?! Giống như một kẻ đã nói: Tôi đã chiến đấu bằng thanh kiếm của mình và tôi đã dùng nó để chém kẻ thù nhưng thật ra y không làm như vậy.
O you who have faith in Allah, why do you say: ‘We did something,’ when in reality you did not do it?! Like the statement of one of you: “I fought and struck with my sword,’ whereas he did not fight and strike with his sword.
¡Ustedes que tienen fe en Al-lah! ¿Por qué dicen: “hice tal cosa”, cuando en realidad no la han hecho? Como cuando una persona dice: “he dado una caridad a los pobres”, y en realidad no lo hizo.
O voi che credete in Allāh, perché dite: "Abbiamo fatto qualcosa", mentre, in realtà, non l'avete fatta?! Così come uno di voi disse: "Ho combattuto con la mia spada e ho colpito", mentre egli non ha combattuto con la sua spada e non ha colpito.
Ô vous qui croyez en Allah, pourquoi dites-vous « Nous avons fait telle chose », alors qu’en réalité vous ne l’avez pas faite? Comme lorsque l’un de vous prétend avoir combattu et asséné des coups à l’aide de son sabre alors qu’il n’a ni combattu ni asséné de coups.
O mga sumampalataya kay Allāh, bakit kayo nagsasabi: "Gumawa kami ng isang bagay," samantalang hindi kayo gumawa niyon sa katunayan? [Ito ay] gaya ng sabi ng isa sa inyo: "Nakipaglaban ako sa pamamagitan ng tabak ko at tumaga ako," samantalang siya hindi nakipaglaban sa pamamagitan ng tabak niya at hindi tumaga.
Wahai orang-orang yang beriman kepada Allah! Kenapa kalian berkata, “Kami telah berbuat sesuatu”, padahal sebenarnya kalian tidak melakukannya?! Yaitu seperti ucapan seseorang di antara kalian, “Aku telah berperang dengan pedangku dan aku telah menebaskannya”, padahal dia tidak berperang dengan pedangnya dan tidak menebas dengannya.
Ey Allah'a iman edenler! Gerçekte yapmadığınız şeyler için niçin yaptık diyorsunuz? Tıpkı bu, sizden birinin filan ile kılıç kılıca şöyle şöyle vuruştum demesi gibidir. Hâlbuki o, kılıcı ile kimse ile vuruşmamıştır.
Il est terriblement abominable pour Allah de prétendre avoir fait ce que vous n’avez pas fait. En effet, il ne convient pas que le croyant soit autre que véridique avec Allah et que ses actes confirment ses dires.
Điều mà Allah ghét nhất là việc các ngươi nói những điều các ngươi không làm. Người có đức tin thực thụ là người luôn thật thà với Allah, hành động của y phải đi đôi với lời nói.
Questa è una cosa grave, ripudiata presso Allāh, dire di fare ciò che non fate; non è appropriato per il credente non essere sincero verso Allāh, poiché le sue parole devono essere coerenti con le sue azioni.
It is a most detested thing to Allah that you say what you do not do. It is only appropriate for a believer to be truthful with Allah, and for his actions to confirm his statements.
Es lo más aborrecible ante Al-lah que digan lo que no hacen. Solo es apropiado que los creyentes sean sinceros con Al-lah, y que sus acciones sean consecuentes con sus afirmaciones.
Kod Allaha je veoma mrsko da govorite ono što ne radite i ne priliči vjerniku osim da bude iskren sa Allahom i da svojim djelima potvrđuje svoje riječi.
Bumigat ang kinamumuhiang iyon sa ganang kay Allāh. Ito ay na magsabi kayo ng hindi ninyo ginagawa sapagkat walang nababagay sa mananampalataya maliban na siya ay maging tapat kay Allāh, habang nagpapatotoo ang gawa niya sa sabi niya.
Sungguh besar kebencian dan kemurkaan di sisi Allah bila kalian mengatakan sesuatu yang tidak kalian kerjakan. Tidak pantas bagi seorang yang beriman kecuali berbuat jujur terhadap Allah, yaitu amalnya sesuai dengan ucapannya.
Yapamayacağınız bir şeyi söylemek Allah katında nefret edilen büyük bir şeydir. Bir Mümine ancak Allah'a karşı doğru olmak ve amelinin sözünü doğrulaması yakışır. (Yani amel etmesi gerekir.)
Allah aime les croyants qui combattent pour Sa cause et, afin de mériter Son agrément, se disposent en rang, serrés les uns contre les autres, aussi solide qu’un édifice bien bâti.
"Sesungguhnya Allah menyukai orang-orang yang berperang di jalanNya dalam barisan yang teratur seakan-akan mereka se-perti suatu bangunan yang tersusun kokoh." (Ash-Shaf: 4).
(4) Ini merupakan dorongan motivasi dari Allah سبحانه وتعالى untuk hamba-hambaNya agar berjihad di jalanNya dan sebagai penga-jaran bagi mereka apa yang harus dikerjakan. Yaitu, mereka harus berbaris dalam jihad secara sejajar dan lurus tanpa adanya celah dalam barisan. Barisan-barisan mereka harus teratur sehingga akan tercapai kesetaraan di antara mujahidin, saling memperkuat dan menimbulkan rasa takut bagi musuh serta saling menggiatkan satu sama lain. Karena itu, ketika Rasulullah a menghadiri peperangan, beliau menata para sahabat dalam beberapa barisan serta mengatur mereka dalam berbagai posisi, agar masing-masing tidak mengan-dalkan pada yang lain, tapi masing-masing kelompok berkonsen-trasi di posisinya dan menunaikan tugasnya. Dengan cara seperti ini, pekerjaan bisa tuntas dan kesempurnaan bisa didapatkan.
Al-lah ama a los creyentes que luchan por Su causa en busca de Su complacencia, en filas uno junto al otro como si fueran una estructura sólida y compacta.
إِنَّ اللَّـهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ (Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way in firm rows, as if they were a solid edifice...61:4) The main subject of this Surah for which it was revealed is to mention the dearest action in the sight of Allah. This verse states that it is jihad in Allah's way, and that the best row of battle in the sight of Allah is the one firmly established against Allah's enemies to make Allah's word prevail, and which, on account of the valor and unshaken determination of Mujahidin, looks like a strong structure cemented with molten lead.
This is followed by a description of the Jihads which Prophets Musa and ` Isa (علیہما السلام) fought in Allah's Cause, and how they suffered at the hands of the enemies. After this description, the Muslims are directed to undertake jihad. The stories of Prophets Musa and ` Isa (علیہما السلام) have many academic and practical lessons and guidance to offer. For instance, it is described in the story of ` Isa (علیہ السلام) that when he invited the Children of Israel to accept his prophethood and obey him, he mentioned two things in particular. First, he said that he was not a unique Prophet who came with unique teachings. In fact, his teachings were the same as those of the previous prophets. They are mentioned in the earlier celestial scriptures, and the same teachings will be imparted later by the Final Messenger of Allah ﷺ . From among the earlier Scriptures, Torah is specially mentioned in this context, probably because that was the latest Scripture that was revealed to the Children of Israel. Otherwise belief in the Prophets embraces all the previous Scriptures of Allah. This also points out that the Shari’ ah of ` Isa (علیہ السلام) was, though an independent Shari’ ah, its most rules conformed to the sacred laws of Musa (علیہ السلام) and the Torah. Only a few laws had been changed. This theme covered the subject of belief in the previous Prophets and their Books.
The second thing ` Isa (علیہ السلام) mentioned in particular was the good news of the advent of the Final Messenger ﷺ . This too points out that his teachings will also be the same as those of the previous Prophets (علیہم السلام) ، and therefore it is the demand of reason and honesty to believe in him.
Prophet ` Isa (علیہ السلام) foretold the Children of Israel that a Final Messenger ﷺ will come after him by the name of Ahmad. When he appears, it would be obligatory for them to embrace faith in him and obey him مُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ (…and giving you the good news of a messenger who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad."...6) The name of the Final Messenger ﷺ is given here as Ahmad. The name of the Final Messenger ﷺ was Muhammad and Ahmad. He had some other names as well. However, the name given in Injil is Ahmad rather than Muhammad, perhaps because Muhammad was a common name in Arabia since time immemorial. There was a possibility that the people might take the reference to some other person, rather than the Final Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The name Ahmad, on the other hand, was an uncommon name in Arabia, and was exclusive to the Final Messenger of Allah ﷺ .
Prophecy of The Final Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Injil
It is a known fact that the previously revealed Divine scriptures have been changed and distorted. The Jews and the Christians themselves had to admit that Torah and Injil have been subjected to changes and distortion. As a matter of fact, the distortions made in these scriptures are so drastic that it is hardly possible to make out the original texts of the scriptures. Based on the distorted version of Injil, the Christians today challenge the correctness of the Qur'anic version of the prophecy, asserting that no prophecy in the name of Ahmad is found in the Injil. An elaborate response to Christian challenge has been prepared by Maulana Rahmatullah Kairanwi (رح) . The name of his book is Izhar-ul -Haqq. He has thoroughly analyzed Christianity and changes made in the Bible. He concludes that despite drastic changes in the present Biblical version the prophecy about the Prophet Ahmad ﷺ is still available.
This book was originally written in Arabic, later its translations appeared in Turkish and English. Christian missionaries attempted their utmost to destroy it. Its Urdu translation was not available until recently. A little while back, Maulana Akbar ` Ali, a lecturer at Darul Uloom Karachi, translated it into Urdu, with in-depth research into current versions of the Bible by Maulana Muhammad Taqi, lecturer at Darul Uloom, and published in three volumes. Volume [ 3] from pages 182 to 362 elaborates on the prophecies pertaining to the Holy Prophet ﷺ with reference to the currently published Bibles, and rebuts their doubts and allays their suspicions.
In the universe, with the exception of the conduct of human beings, there is no inconsistency anywhere. In this world wood is always wood and anything which has the appearance of being iron or stone will be iron or stone in actual experience. Man should also be like this. There should be consistency in a man’s sayings and doings, even if he is required to pay the price of facing all sorts of difficulties and has to become exceptionally patient.
Sesungguhnya Allah menyukai orang-orang yang beriman yang berperang di jalan-Nya untuk mencari rida-Nya dalam barisan, sebagian dari mereka di samping sebagian yang lain seakan-akan mereka adalah bangunan yang saling mengikat sebagian dengan sebagian yang lain.
Allah loves the believers who fight in His path seeking His pleasure, in rows alongside one another as if they are a structure that it tightly compacted.
4- Şüphesiz Allah, kendi yolunda (tuğlaları) birbirine kenetlenmiş bir bina gibi saf bağlayıp savaşanları sever.
4. Bu buyrukla Yüce Allah, kullarını kendi yolunda cihâda teşvik etmekte, yolunda çarpışırken nasıl olmaları gerektiğini öğretmekte ve cihadda saflarda herhangi bir boşluk olmaksızın, dosdoğru ve birbirine iyice kenetlenmiş halde saf tutmaları gerektiğini bildirmektedir. Safları öyle bir düzen ve tertip içerisinde olacaktır ki, mücahidler birbirine destek olacak, omuz verecek, düşmanları korkutacak ve biri diğerine gayrete getirecektir.
Bundan dolayıdır ki Peygamber sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem savaşta ashabını saf yapar, onları kendi yerlerinde tertip eder ve düzene sokardı. Böylelikle birinin diğerine güvenerek gevşemesinin önüne geçmiş olurdu. Biri diğerine güvenip gevşeyecek yerde her bir kesim, bütün gücü ile kendi merkezini korumaya gayret eder, vazifesini ifa etmeye çalışırdı. İşte bu yolla da işler tamam olur ve mükemmellik elde edilir.
Tunay na si Allāh ay umiibig sa mga mananampalataya na nakikipaglaban sa landas Niya, sa paghahangad ng kaluguran Niya, sa isang hanay na magkatabi ang isa't isa sa kanila na para bang sila ay isang gusaling nagkakadikitan ang isa't isa sa mga bahagi.
Quả thật, Allah yêu thương những người có đức tin anh dũng chiến đấu vì con đường chính đạo của Allah hồng làm Ngài hài lòng, họ xông pha ra trận chiến theo một đội ngũ vững chắc như thể họ là một thành lũy kiên cố và chắc chắn, đứng san sát nhau không một kẻ hở.
In verità, Allāh ama i credenti che combattono per la Sua causa, desiderando il Suo compiacimento, schierati in file serrate come muraglie.
Şüphesiz Yüce Allah, kendi yolunda rızasını kazanmak arzusu ile yan yana birbirine kenetlenmiş bir yapı gibi saf halinde savaşan Müminleri sever.
Allah, zaista, voli vjernike koji se na Njegovu putu bore, da bi stekli Njegovo zadovoljstvo, u redovima jedni pored drugih, kao da su zdanje utvrđeno.
-Ey Peygamber!- Musa -aleyhisselam-'ın kavmine şöyle dediği zamanı hatırla: "Ey kavmim! Benim size gönderilen Allah’ın elçisi olduğumu bildiğiniz halde ne diye emirlerime muhalefet ederek bana eziyet ediyorsunuz?" Onlar kendilerine gelen haktan meyledip sapınca, Allah da onların kalplerini haktan ve doğru yoldan saptırdı. Yüce Allah, taatinden çıkan bir kavmi hakka iletmez.
E narra – o Messaggero – di quando Mūsā disse al suo popolo: "O popolo, perché mi affliggete disobbedendo ai miei ordini, mentre sapete che, in verità, sono un Messaggero di Allāh a voi inviato?!" Quando si sviarono dalla verità che Egli comunicò, Allāh sviò i loro cuori dalla Verità e dalla Rettitudine, e Allāh non guida alla verità il popolo che si allontana dall'obbedienza Lui dovuta.
Musa admonishes His People for annoying Him
Allah states that His servant and Messenger Musa, son of `Imran, to whom Allah spoke directly, said to his people,
لِمَ تُؤْذُونَنِى وَقَد تَّعْلَمُونَ أَنِّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ
(Why do you annoy me while you know certainly that I am the Messenger of Allah to you) meaning, `why do you annoy me even though you know my truth regarding the Message that I brought you' This brings consolation for Allah's Messenger for what the disbelievers among his people and others did to him. And it orders him to be patient. This is why he once said,
«رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَى مُوسَى لَقَدْ أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَر»
(May Allah have mercy with Musa: he was annoyed more than this, yet he was patient.) By it believers are prohibited from harming or bothering the Prophet in any way or form. As Allah the Exalted said,
يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لاَ تَكُونُواْ كَالَّذِينَ ءَاذَوْاْ مُوسَى فَبرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُواْ وَكَانَ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَجِيهاً
(O you who believe! Be not like those who annoyed Musa, but Allah cleared him of that which they alleged, and he was honorable before Allah.) (33:69) And His saying:
فَلَمَّا زَاغُواْ أَزَاغَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ
(So, when they turned away, Allah turned their hearts away.), means, when the Jews turned away from following the guidance, even though they knew it, Allah turned their hearts away from the guidance. Instead, Allah placed doubts, suspicion and failure in their hearts, just as He said,
وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفْئِدَتَهُمْ وَأَبْصَـرَهُمْ كَمَا لَمْ يُؤْمِنُواْ بِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَنَذَرُهُمْ فِى طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
(And We shall turn their hearts and vision away, as they refused to believe therin for the first time, and we shall leave them in their trespass to wander blindly.) And His saying;
وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِن بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدَى وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّى وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ وَسَآءَتْ مَصِيراً
(And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers' way, We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and enter him in Hell, what an evil destination it is!) (4:115), and, Similarly Allah said;
وَاللَّهُ لاَ يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْفَـسِقِينَ
(And Allah guides not the people who are rebellious.) (9:24)
The Good News of `Isa about Our Prophet and that His Name is Ahmad
Allah said;
وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يبَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّراً بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِى مِن بَعْدِى اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ
(And when `Isa, son of Maryam, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ unto you, confirming the Tawrah before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad.") `Isa said, "The Tawrah conveyed the glad tidings of my coming, and my coming confirms the truth of the Tawrah. I convey the glad tidings of the Prophet who will come after me. He is the unlettered, Makkan, Arab Prophet and Messenger, Ahmad." `Isa, peace be upon him, is the last and final Messenger from among the Children of Israel. He remained among the Children of Israel for a while, conveying the good news of the coming of Muhammad ﷺ, whose name is also Ahmad, the Last and Final Prophet and Messenger. After Muhammad ﷺ, there will be no prophethood or Messengers. How admirable the Hadith is that Al-Bukhari collected in his Sahih from Jubayr bin Mut`im, who said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say,
«إِنَّ لِي أَسْمَاءً: أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، وَأَنَا أَحْمَدُ، وَأَنَا الْمَاحِي الَّذِي يَمْحُو اللهُ بِهِ الْكُفْرَ،وَأَنَا الْحَاشِرُ الَّذِي يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ، وَأَنَا الْعَاقِب»
(I have names. I am Muhammad and Ahmad. I am Al-Mahi through whom Allah will eliminate disbelief. I am Al-Hashir who will be the first to be resurrected, with the people being resurrected Hereafter. I am also Al-`Aqib (i.e., there will be no Prophet after me).") Also Muslim collected this Hadith from Az-Zuhri from Jubayr. Muhammad bin Ishaq recorded that Khalid bin Ma`dan said that some Companions of Allah's Messenger said, "O Allah's Messenger! Tell us about yourself." He said,
«دَعْوَةُ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبُشْرَى عِيسَى، وَرَأَتْ أُمِّي حِينَ حَمَلَتْ بِي كَأَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مِنْها نُورٌ أَضَاءَتْ لَهُ قُصُورُ بُصْرَى مِنْ أَرْضِ الشَّام»
(I am the (result of the) invocation made to Allah from my father Ibrahim and the good news `Isa delivered. When my mother was pregnant with me, she had a dream in which she saw a light emanating from her that radiated the palaces of Busra in Ash-Sham." This Hadith has a good chain of narration that is supported by other similar narrations. Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-`Irbad bin Sariyah said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«إِنِّي عِنْدَ اللهِ لَخَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ، وَإِنَّ آدَمَ لَمُنْجَدِلٌ فِي طِينَتِهِ، وَسَأُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَوَّلِ ذَلِكَ: دَعْوَةُ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبِشَارَةُ عِيسَى بِي، وَرُؤْيَا أُمِّي الَّتِي رَأَتْ، وَكَذَلِكَ أُمَّهَاتُ النَّبِيِّينَ يَرَيْن»
(I was written with Allah as the Last and Final of the Prophet, even when Adam was still clay. I will tell of the first good news announcing my advent, the (result of the) invocation to Allah made from my father Ibrahim, the good news `Isa conveyed, and the dream that my mother saw. The mothers of all Prophets see similar dreams.") Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Umamah said, "I said, `O Allah's Messenger! What was the first good news of your coming' He said,
«دَعْوَةُ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبُشْرَى عِيسَى، وَرَأَتْ أُمِّي أَنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا نُورٌ أَضَاءَتْ لَهُ قُصُورُ الشَّام»
(The (result of the) invocation to Allah made from my father Ibrahim and the good news `Isa conveyed. My mother saw a light emanating from her that filled the palaces of Ash- Sham in a dream.)" Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent eighty men, including `Abdullah bin Mas`ud, Ja`far bin Abi Talib, `Abdullah bin `Urfutah, `Uthman bin Maz`un, Abu Musa, and others, to An-Najashi. The Quraysh sent `Amr bin Al-`As and `Umarah bin Al-Walid with a gift for An-Najashi. When they, `Amr and `Umarah, came to An-Najashi, they prostrated before him and stood to his right and left. `Amr and `Umarah said, "Some of our cousins migrated to your land; they have abandoned us and our religion." An-Najashi said, "Where are they" They said, "They are in your land, so send for them," so An-Najashi summoned the Muslims. Ja`far said to the Muslims, "I will be your speaker today." So, the Muslims followed Ja`far and when he entered on the king he did not prostrate after greeting him. They said to Ja`far, "Why do you not prostrate before the king" Ja`far said, "We only prostrate for Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored." They said, "Why" He said, "Allah has sent a Messenger to us from Him, who ordered us not to prostrate to anyone except Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored. He also ordered to perform prayer and give charity." `Amr bin Al-`As said, "They contradict your creed about `Isa, son of Maryam." The king asked, "What do you say about `Isa and his mother Maryam" Ja`far said, "We only say what Allah said about him, that he is Allah's Word, a soul created by Allah and sent down to the honorable virgin who was not touched by a man nor bearing children before." An-Najashi lifted a straw of wood and said, "O Ethiopians, monks and priests! By Allah, what they say about `Isa is no more than what we say about him, not even a difference that equals this straw. You are welcomed among us, and greetings to him who sent you. I bear witness that he is Allah's Messenger ﷺ whom we read about in the Injil. He is the Prophet who `Isa, son of Maryam, foretold the good news about his advent. Live wherever you wish. By Allah, had I not been entrusted with the responsibilities of kingship, I would have gone to him, so that I could be honored by carrying his slippers and his water for ablution." The king ordered that the gifts of the idolators be returned to them. `Abdullah bin Mas`ud soon returned and later on participated in the battle of Badr. He said that when the Prophet received the news that An-Najashi died, he invoked Allah to forgive him. Allah said,
فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِالْبَيِّنَـتِ قَالُواْ هَـذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
(But when he came to them with clear proofs, they said: "This is plain magic.") this refers to Ahmad, who was anticipated, in accordance with the early Scriptures and early generations, according to Ibn Jurayj and Ibn Jarir. When the Prophet appeared bringing clear signs, the disbelievers and rejecters said,
هَـذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
(This is plain magic)
Ngươi - hỡi Thiên Sứ - hãy nhớ lại lời của Musa khi Y nói với dân chúng của mình: Sao các ngươi lại làm tổn thương Ta khi các ngươi nghịch lại mệnh lệnh của Ta trong khi các ngươi biết rõ rằng Ta đích thực là vị Thiên Sứ của Allah được phái đến cho các ngươi? Và một khi chúng đã lệch khỏi chân lý mà chúng biết rất rõ về nó và chúng vẫn cứ ngoan cố trên sự sai lệch đó, chúng đã bị Allah làm cho tấm lòng của chúng không thể chấp nhận sự hướng dẫn và phục tùng. Và quả thật, Allah không hướng dẫn và soi sáng cho những kẻ rời xa sự tuân lệnh và phục tùng Ngài.
Spomeni, o Poslaniče, vijest kada je Musa rekao narodu svome: "O narode moj, zašto me uznemiravate, suprotstavljajući mi se, a dobro znate da sam vam ja Allahov poslanik!", i kad oni skrenuše ustranu i napustiše istinu koju je on donio, Allah njihova srca skrenu sa puta istine i ustrajnosti, a Allah neće uputiti istini narod koji je buntovan i koji se ne pokorava Allahu.
5- Hani Mûsâ kavmine:“Ey kavmim! Benim Allah’ın size gönderdiği peygamberi olduğumu bildiğiniz halde niçin bana eziyet ediyorsunuz?” demişti. Onlar sapınca Allah da kalplerini saptırdı. Allah fâsık toplumu hidâyete iletmez.
5. “Hani Mûsâ kavmine” yaptıkları dolayısı ile onları azarlayarak ve Allah’ın rasûlü olduğunu bildikleri halde kendisine eziyet etmiş olduklarından dolayı sitem ederek: “Ey kavmim! Benim Allah’ın size gönderdiği peygamberi olduğumu bildiğiniz halde” söz ve davranışlarınızla “niçin bana eziyet ediyorsunuz? demişti.” Oysa Allah’ın gönderdiği bir peygambere ikramda bulunmak, saygı göstermek, onu tazim etmek, emirlerini yerine getirmek ve verdiği hükümleri gerçekleştirmek için eli çabuk tutmak gerekir. Allah’ın ihsanından sonra insanlara herkesten daha çok iyilikte bulunan peygamberlere eziyet etmek, son derece çirkin bir iş ve küstâhlıktır. Bile bile dosdoğru yoldan sapmaktır.
İşte bundan dolayı Yüce Allah şöyle buyurmaktadır:“Onlar sapınca” yani kendi iradeleri ile haktan uzaklaşınca “Allah da” kendileri için tercih edip beğendikleri sapmalarına bir ceza olmak üzere “kalplerini saptırdı.” Hidâyete ulaşma tevfikini onlara vermedi. Çünkü hayır, onlara yakışmaz. Onlar ancak kötülüğe layık kimselerdir.
"Allah fâsık toplumu” Yani fâsıklık niteliğine sahip olan ve hidâyet bulmak gibi bir maksatları olmayanları “hidâyete iletmez.”
Bu âyet-i kerime, Allah’ın kulları saptırmasının, onlara haksızlık yapması demek olmadığını ve bu konuda onların Allah’a karşı sunacakları herhangi bir mazeretlerinin de olamayacağını göstermektedir. Çünkü buna sebep olanlar kendileridir. Hidâyeti tanıdıktan sonra onun kapısını yüzlerine kapatanlar bizzat kendileridir. Artık bu duruma geldikten sonra Allah da saptırmak ve kalplerini eğriltmek suretiyle onları cezalandırır. Bu da onlara verdiği adil bir cezadır. Nitekim Yüce Allah şöyle buyurmaktadır:“İlk defa ona iman etmedikleri gibi Biz de onların kalplerini ve gözlerini çeviririz de azgınlıkları içerisinde onları kör ve şaşkın bir halde bırakırız.”(el-En’âm, 6/110)
"Dan (ingatlah) ketika Musa berkata kepada kaumnya, 'Hai kaumku, mengapa kamu menyakitiku, sedang kamu mengetahui bahwa aku adalah utusan Allah kepadamu?' Maka tatkala mereka berpaling (dari kebenaran), Allah memalingkan hati mereka; dan Allah tiada memberi petunjuk kepada kaum yang fasik." (Ash-Shaf: 5).
(5) ﴾ وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ ﴿ "Dan (ingatlah) ketika Musa berkata kepada kaumnya," seraya mencela mereka atas perbuatan yang mereka lakukan dan menegur dengan keras atas penyiksaan yang mereka lakukan padahal mereka mengetahui bahwa Nabi Musa عليه السلام adalah utusan Allah سبحانه وتعالى, ﴾ يَٰقَوۡمِ لِمَ تُؤۡذُونَنِي ﴿ "Hai kaumku, mengapa kamu menyakitiku," dengan perkataan dan perbuatan, ﴾ وَقَد تَّعۡلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيۡكُمۡۖ ﴿ "sedang kamu mengetahui bahwa aku adalah utusan Allah kepadamu?" Hak seorang rasul adalah dimuliakan, diagungkan dan semua perintah dan hukumnya dilaksanakan segera. Adapun menyakiti utusan Allah سبحانه وتعالى yang kebaikannya terhadap manusia melebihi segala bentuk kebaikan setelah kebaikan Allah سبحانه وتعالى, adalah puncak sikap tidak tahu malu, sembrono dan menyimpang dari jalan yang lurus yang telah mereka ketahui dan mereka tinggalkan. Karena itu Allah سبحانه وتعالى berfirman, ﴾ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوٓاْ ﴿ "Maka tatkala mereka ber-paling," maksudnya, berpaling dari kebenaran sesuai keinginan mereka, ﴾ أَزَاغَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمۡۚ ﴿ "Allah memalingkan hati mereka," sebagai hu-kuman bagi mereka atas penyimpangan yang mereka pilih untuk diri mereka dan keridhaan mereka pada penyimpangan itu. Allah سبحانه وتعالى tidak memberi pertolongan pada mereka untuk mendapatkan petunjuk, karena mereka tidak layak mendapatkan kebaikan. Yang layak bagi mereka hanyalah keburukan.
﴾ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ ﴿ "Dan Allah tiada memberi petunjuk kepada kaum yang fasik." Maksudnya, orang-orang yang sifat kefasikan terus menempel pada dirinya, dan mereka tidak memiliki niat untuk mencari petunjuk.
Ayat mulia ini menunjukkan bahwa kesesatan manusia yang digariskan Allah سبحانه وتعالى bukanlah suatu kezhaliman Allah سبحانه وتعالى dan bukan hujjah manusia atas Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Kesesatan itu timbul disebabkan oleh mereka sendiri. Mereka menutup diri dari pintu hidayah, padahal sebenarnya mereka mengetahui. Allah سبحانه وتعالى pun membalas mereka dengan kesesatan dan penyimpangan, serta dirubah-rubahnya hati mereka, sebagai hukuman bagi mereka dan sebagai keadilan Allah سبحانه وتعالى terhadap mereka. Ini semakna dengan Firman Allah سبحانه وتعالى,
﴾ وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفۡـِٔدَتَهُمۡ وَأَبۡصَٰرَهُمۡ كَمَا لَمۡ يُؤۡمِنُواْ بِهِۦٓ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖ وَنَذَرُهُمۡ فِي طُغۡيَٰنِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ 110 ﴿
"Dan (begitu pula) Kami memalingkan hati dan penglihatan mereka seperti mereka belum pernah beriman kepadanya (al-Qur`an) pada per-mulaannya, dan Kami biarkan mereka bergelimang dalam kesesatannya yang sangat." (Al-An'am: 110).
After Allah mentioned fighting and praised the believers who stand tightly together in fighting in His path, He mentioned the opposition that the people of Moses and Jesus displayed towards their messengers, as a warning to the believers against opposing their prophet, and He said: Remember, O Messenger, when Moses said to his people: O my people! Why do you hurt me by going against my instruction when you know that I am Allah’s messenger to you?! When they moved away and deviated from the truth that he brought to them, Allah caused their hearts to move away from the truth and steadfastness. Allah does not guide to the truth a people who go against His obedience.
Banggitin mo, O Sugo, nang nagsabi si Moises sa mga kalipi niya: "O mga kalipi ko, bakit kayo nananakit sa akin sa pamamagitan ng pagsalungat sa utos ko samantalang kayo ay nakaaalam na ako ay Sugo ni Allāh sa inyo?" Kaya noong kumiling sila at nalihis sila palayo sa inihatid niya sa kanila na katotohanan, nagpakiling si Allāh sa mga puso nila palayo sa katotohanan at pagkamatuwid. Si Allāh ay hindi nagtutuon sa katotohanan sa mga taong lumalabas sa pagtalima sa Kanya.
Ingatlah -wahai Rasul- ketika Musa berkata kepada kaumnya, “Wahai kaumku! Kenapa kalian menyakitiku dengan mengingkari perintahku, sedangkan kalian mengetahui bahwa aku adalah utusan Allah kepada kalian?” Ketika mereka menyimpang dan melenceng dari kebenaran yang dibawa Musa kepada mereka, Allah jadikan hati mereka menyimpang dari kebenaran dan istikamah. Sungguh, Allah tidak memberi taufik kepada suatu kaum yang keluar dari ketaatan kepada-Nya.
Ô Messager, rappelle-toi lorsque Moïse dit à son peuple: Ô mon peuple, pourquoi m’offensez-vous en me désobéissant alors que vous savez que je suis le Messager qui vous a été envoyé par Allah? Puis lorsqu’ils dévièrent de la vérité qu’il leur apporta, Allah détourna leurs cœurs de la vérité et de la droiture car Allah ne facilite pas la vérité à ceux qui s’affranchissent de Lui obéir.
Moses came among the Children of Israel—at that time a people on the decline. They had no desire left to match their actions to their words. Their abasement was such that, on the one hand, they used to profess Faith before Moses while, on the other hand, they used to commit every sort of breach of trust and stooped to disobedience. They even used to make false allegations against Moses in order to justify the bad treatment they meted out to him. The relevant details have been set forth in the second chapter of the Bible, Exodus. After making a pledge, man, by breaking it is taken even further away from the Truth than before.
Después de que Al-lah se refirió a la lucha y elogió a los creyentes que luchan unidos por Su causa, Él hizo mención a la oposición que los pueblos de Moisés y Jesús mostraron hacia Sus mensajeros, como una advertencia para que los creyentes no se opongan a Su Profeta, y dijo: “Recuerda, Mensajero, cuando Moisés u dijo a su pueblo: ‘¡Pueblo mío! ¿Por qué me perjudican al oponerse a lo que les he ordenado cuando saben que soy el mensajero que Al-lah les ha enviado?’ Cuando se alejaron y se desviaron de la verdad que él les trajo, Al-lah hizo que sus corazones se alejaran de la verdad y la guía. Al-lah no guía a la verdad a las personas que se oponen a su obediencia”.
E rammenta – o Messaggero – di quando ‘Īsā, figlio di Maryem, disse, pace a lui: "O figli d' Isrāīl, in verità io sono un Messaggero inviatovi da Allāh, a conferma della Torāh che è stata rivelata prima di me, e non sono diverso dagli altri messaggeri, annunciando un Messaggero che verrà dopo di me, di nome Aħmed". Quando ‘Īsā giunse loro con le chiare prove che dimostravano la sua sincerità, dissero: "Questa è chiara magia, non lo seguiremo"
Remember, O Messenger, when Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him) said: O Israelites, I am Allah’s messenger. He has sent me to you to confirm the Torah that was revealed before me. I am nothing new among the messengers. I have come to give the good news of a messenger who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad. When Jesus brought the evidence indicating his truthfulness to them, they said: ‘This is clear magic, and we will never follow you.’
Recuerda, Mensajero, cuando Jesús, hijo de María u dijo: “¡Hijos de Israel! Yo soy el mensajero de Al-lah. Él me envió a ustedes para confirmar la Torá que fue revelada antes de mí. No soy nuevo entre los mensajeros. He venido a dar la buena noticia de un mensajero que vendrá después de mí, cuyo nombre es Ahmad”. Cuando Jesús trajo la evidencia que demostraba su veracidad, ellos dijeron: “Sin duda esto es magia, y nunca te seguiremos”.
6- Hani Meryem oğlu İsa da şöyle demişti:“Ey İsrailoğulları! Şüphesiz ben Allah’ın rasulüyüm. Benden önceki Tevrat’ı doğrulamak ve benden sonra gelecek olup adı Ahmed olan bir peygamberi de müjdelemek üzere size gönderildim.” Fakat o (Ahmed), onlara apaçık delillerle gelince onlar:“Bu, apaçık bir sihirdir” dediler.
7- İslâm’a davet edildiği halde Allah’a karşı yalan uydurandan daha zalim kim olabilir? Allah zalim toplumu hidâyete erdirmez.
8- Onlar, ağızlarıyla Allah’ın nurunu söndürmek isterler. Halbuki Allah, kâfirler hoşlanmasa da nurunu tamamlayacaktır.
9- Peygamberini hidâyet ve hak din ile gönderen O’dur ve O, müşrikler hoşlanmasa bile dinini bütün dinlere üstün kılacaktır.
6. Yüce Allah, Meryem oğlu İsa aleyhisselam’ın kendilerini davet ettiği ilk dönem İsrailoğullarının inatlarını haber vermekte ve İsa’nın kendilerine şöyle seslendiğini bildirmektedir:“Ey İsrailoğulları! Şüphesiz ben Allah’ın rasulüyüm.” Allah beni sizleri hayra davet edeyim, kötülükten vazgeçmenizi emredeyim diye gönderdi. Beni pek açık delillerle ve mucizelerle destekledi. Benim doğruluğumun delillerinden birisi de “benden önceki Tevrat’ı”tasdik etmemdir. Ben Mûsâ’nın getirmiş olduğu Tevrat’ı ve semavî hükümleri getirdim. Eğer ben peygamberliği yalan yere iddia eden birisi olsaydım, benden önceki peygamberlerin getirdiklerinden başkasını getirirdim. Ben aynı şekilde benden önceki Tevrat’ın gerçek çıkan haberiyim. Tevrat benim geleceğimi haber vermiş ve müjdelemişti. Benim gelişim de onun tasdikidir.“Ve benden sonra gelecek olup adı Ahmed olan bir peygamberi de müjdelemek üzere size gönderildim.”O, Haşimî oğullarına mensup Abdulmuttalib’in oğlu Abdullah’ın oğlu Muhammed sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem’dir. İsa aleyhisselam da diğer peygamberler gibi kendisinden önceki peygamberi tasdik edip sonra gelecek peygamberi müjdelemişti. Yalancılar ise böyle değildir. Onlar peygamberlere muhalefet ederler. Ahlâklarında, sıfatlarında, emir ve yasaklarında onlarla son derece çelişirler.“Fakat o” İsa’nın müjdelediği Muhammed sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem, “apaçık” kendisinin Ahmed ve Allah’ın gerçek peygamberi olduğuna delil teşkil eden “delillerle gelince onlar” Hakka karşı inad edip onu yalanlayarak: “Bu, apaçık bir sihirdir, dediler.”
Bu, çok şaşılacak bir şeydir. Peygamberliği açıkça ortaya çıkan ve günün ortasındaki güneşten daha parlak bir hal alan bir peygamber, apaçık bir sihirbaz olarak değerlendirildi. Acaba ilâhi yardımdan mahrum kalışın bundan daha ilerisi düşünülebilir mi? Acaba böyle bir iftiradan daha ileri bir iftira olabilir mi? Zira bu iftira ile peygamber olduğu açıkça ortaya çıkan hususlar reddediliyor, herkesten daha çok uzak olduğu vasıflar ona nisbet ediliyor!
7. “İslâm’a davet edildiği” apaçık delil ve belgelerini de gördüğü “halde Allah’a karşı” bu konuda yahut başka iddialarla “yalan uydurandan daha zalim kim olabilir?” Oysa böylelerinin ileri sürecek bir mazeretleri de yoktur, herhangi bir delilleri de kalmamıştır. Çünkü davet gerçekleşmiştir.
"Allah zalim toplumu.” Zulümlerini sürdürmekte olan, verilen öğütlerle zulümden vazgeçmeyen, onca açıklama ve belgeye rağmen bundan geri durmayan zalimleri “hidâyete erdirmez.” Özellikle de hakkı reddetmek ve bâtıla destek olmak için hakka karşı durmaya devam eden bu zalimleri...
Bundan dolayı Yüce Allah onlar haklarında şöyle buyurmaktadır:
8. “Onlar, ağızlarıyla” gerçekle ilgisi bulunmayan, aksine basiret sahibi kimselerin onların izlemekte oldukları bâtılı daha iyi tanımalarını sağlayan, o hakkı reddetmeye çalıştıkları bozuk ve tutarsız sözleriyle “Allah’ın nurunu söndürmek isterler. Halbuki Allah, kâfirler hoşlanmasa da nurunu tamamlayacaktır.”
Allah dinini zafere kavuşturmayı, peygamberi ile gönderdiği hakkı tamamlamayı ve her yerde nurunu galip getirmeyi taahhüt etmiştir. Velev ki kâfirler hoşlanmasalar ve hoşlanmadıkları için de Allah’ın nurunu söndürmek için her türlü yola başvursalar dahi.
Ne olursa olsun onlar yenileceklerdir. Onların misali güneşin ışığını söndürmek için güneşe doğru üfleyen kimsenin haline benzer. Ne maksatlarını elde edebilirler, ne de akıllarının tenkide uğramasından ve gülünç duruma düşmekten kurtulabilirler.
9. Daha sonra Yüce Allah, İslâm dininin maddi ve manevi yükseliş ve zaferinin sebebini söz konusu ederek şöyle buyurmaktadır:“Peygamberini hidâyet ve hak din ile” yani faydalı bilgi ve salih amel ile “gönderen O’dur.”Bu din, Allah’a ulaştırır, O’nun lütuf ve ihsan yurduna götürür, en güzel amellere, en güzel ahlâka ilettiği gibi dünya ve âhiretin maslahatına olan şeyleri de gösterir ve onlara iletir.“Hak din”, âlemlerin Rabbi olan Allah’a kendisiyle itaat ve ibadet edilen dindir. Bu din haktır, doğrudur. Onda hiçbir eksiklik yoktur. Ona herhangi bir tutarsızlık erişemez. Bilakis onun emirleri ruhlara ve kalplere bir gıda, bedenlere de rahat kaynağıdır. Onun yasaklarını terk etmek de kötülükten ve fesattan esenliğe kavuşmak demektir.
Peygamber sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem ile gönderilen hidâyet ve hak din, onun doğruluğunun en büyük delili ve belgesidir. Bu belge dünya durdukça dimdik ayakta olacaktır. Aklı başında olan kimsenin tefekkürü arttıkça bundan dolayı daha çok sevinir ve basireti de daha bir artar.
“O, müşrikler hoşlanmasa bile dinini bütün dinlere üstün kılacaktır.” Diğer dinlere delil ve belge ile üstün getirecektir. O dinin gereklerini yerine getirenleri de kılıç ve silahla galip getirecektir. Dinin bu (üstün olma) vasfı her zaman için geçerlidir, ondan hiç ayrılmaz. Her kim onu yenik düşürmeye kalkışır ve onun hakkında tartışırsa, mutlaka kendisi yenik düşer, bu din ise üstün ve galip gelir.
Bu dinin bağlılarına gelince onlar, onun gereklerini yerine getirdikleri, nuru ile aydınlandıkları, din ve dünya işlerinde onun hidâyeti ile doğru yolu buldukları takdirde onlara da kimse karşı duramaz. Mutlaka onlar, diğer din mensuplarına üstün gelirler. Ama bu dini zayi edip sadece ona mensup olmakla yetinecek olurlarsa, bunun kendilerine hiçbir faydası olmaz. Aksine düşmanlarının kendilerine musallat kılınmasına sebep olur. Müslümanların ilk ve sonraki dönemlerini ve onların hallerini inceleyen kimseler de bu gerçeği iyi bilirler.
Hani Meryem oğlu İsa -aleyhisselam-: "Ey İsrailoğulları! Ben, benden önce indirilen Tevrat'ı doğrulayıcı ve benden sonra gelecek Ahmed adında bir resulü de müjdeleyen, Allah’ın size (gönderdiği) bir resulüm. Ben; daha önce örneği görülmemiş bir peygamber değilim." demişti. İsa -aleyhisselam- onlara, kendisinin doğruluğuna dair apaçık delillerle gelince şöyle demişlerdi: "Bu; apaçık bir büyüdür, ona asla tabi olmayız."
"Dan (ingatlah) ketika Isa putra Maryam berkata, 'Hai Bani Israil, sesungguhnya aku adalah utusan Allah kepadamu, membe-narkan kitab (yang turun) sebelumku, yaitu Taurat dan aku juga memberi kabar gembira dengan (datangnya) seorang Rasul yang akan datang sesudahku, yang namanya Ahmad (Muhammad).' Maka tatkala Rasul itu datang kepada mereka dengan membawa bukti-bukti yang nyata, mereka berkata, 'Ini adalah sihir yang nyata.' Dan siapakah yang lebih zhalim daripada orang yang meng-adakan dusta terhadap Allah sedang dia diajak kepada Agama Islam? Dan Allah tidak memberi petunjuk kepada orang-orang yang zhalim. Mereka ingin memadamkan cahaya (Agama) Allah dengan mulut (ucapan-ucapan) mereka, dan Allah tetap menyem-purnakan cahayaNya meskipun orang-orang kafir benci. Dia-lah yang mengutus RasulNya dengan membawa petunjuk dan Agama yang benar agar Dia memenangkannya di atas segala agama-agama, meskipun orang-orang musyrik benci." (Ash-Shaf: 6-9).
(6) Allah سبحانه وتعالى berfirman mengabarkan pembangkangan Bani Israil dahulu yang diseru oleh Nabi Isa bin Maryam عليه السلام. Isa berkata pada mereka, ﴾ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيۡكُم ﴿ "Hai Bani Israil, sesungguhnya aku adalah utusan Allah kepadamu," maksudnya, Allah سبحانه وتعالى mengutus-ku untuk menyeru kalian pada kebaikan dan melarang kalian dari keburukan, dan Allah سبحانه وتعالى mengukuhkanku dengan berbagai bukti nyata yang menunjukkan kebenaran kerasulanku. ﴾ مُّصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ ﴿ "Membenarkan kitab (yang turun) sebelumku, yaitu Taurat," mak-sudnya, aku datang membawa kitab seperti yang pernah dibawa Nabi Musa yaitu kitab Taurat dan berbagai syariat-syariat samawi. Andai aku hanya mengaku-aku sebagai nabi, tentu aku tidak membawa seperti yang dibawa para rasul. ﴾ مُّصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ ﴿ "Mem-benarkan kitab (yang turun) sebelumku, yaitu Taurat," di samping itu kitab Taurat juga telah memberitahukan kabar gembira tentangku dan aku pun datang dan diutus sebagai pembenar Taurat, ﴾ وَمُبَشِّرَۢا بِرَسُولٖ يَأۡتِي مِنۢ بَعۡدِي ٱسۡمُهُۥٓ أَحۡمَدُۖ ﴿ "dan aku juga memberi kabar gembira dengan (datang-nya) seorang Rasul yang akan datang sesudahku, yang namanya Ahmad (Muhammad)," yaitu Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Muththa-lib, nabi dari keturunan Bani Hasyim. Nabi Isa عليه السلام adalah seorang nabi layaknya nabi-nabi lain, membenarkan nabi sebelumnya dan memberi kabar gembira akan kedatangan nabi berikutnya. Tidak seperti orang-orang yang berdusta yang amat menentang para nabi dari segi sifat, akhlak, perintah dan larangan. ﴾ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم ﴿ "Maka tatkala Rasul itu datang kepada mereka," yakni Nabi Muhammad a yang diberitakan oleh Isa عليه السلام sebelumnya, ﴾ بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ ﴿ "dengan mem-bawa bukti-bukti yang nyata," yaitu bukti-bukti jelas yang menunjuk-kan bahwa dialah yang diberitakan oleh Nabi Isa عليه السلام dan dialah utusan Allah سبحانه وتعالى sebenarnya, ﴾ قَالُواْ ﴿ "mereka berkata," menentang dan mendustakan kebenaran, ﴾ هَٰذَا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ ﴿ "Ini adalah sihir yang nyata." Ini benar-benar aneh. Seorang rasul yang kerasulannya telah di-ketahui dengan jelas melebihi terangnya matahari di siang hari dianggap sebagai seorang penyihir yang nyata sihirnya. Apakah ada kehinaan yang lebih besar dari ini? Dan apakah ada kedustaan yang lebih besar dari ini yang menafikan berita kerasulan dan me-negaskan sesuatu yang amat mustahil bagi Nabi Muhammad a?
(7) ﴾ وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ ﴿ "Dan siapakah yang lebih zhalim daripada orang yang mengadakan dusta terhadap Allah," dengan pen-dustaan seperti ini atau sikap lainnya yang tidak ada udzurnya dan hujjahnya telah runtuh, karena ﴾ وَهُوَ يُدۡعَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمِۚ ﴿ "dia diajak kepada agama Islam," dan berbagai bukti nyata telah dijelaskan padanya. ﴾ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ﴿ "Dan Allah tidak memberi petunjuk kepada orang-orang yang zhalim," yang senantiasa tegak berada dalam kezhaliman. Nasihat dan bukti nyata tidak bisa menyelamatkan mereka, khu-susnya mereka yang menentang kebenaran untuk ditolak demi memenangkan kebatilan.
(8) Karena itu Allah سبحانه وتعالى berfirman tentang mereka, ﴾ يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطۡفِـُٔواْ نُورَ ٱللَّهِ بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ ﴿ "Mereka ingin memadamkan cahaya (agama) Allah dengan mulut (ucapan-ucapan) mereka," maksudnya, dengan berbagai per-kataan busuk yang mereka kemukakan yang menolak kebenaran yang sebenarnya tidak ada wujudnya, namun semakin membuat orang yang tahu lebih memahami bahwa ia berada di atas kebatilan. ﴾ وَٱللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِۦ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ ﴿ "Dan Allah tetap menyempurnakan cahayaNya meskipun orang-orang kafir benci." Maksudnya, Allah سبحانه وتعالى menjamin akan memenangkan AgamaNya, menyempurnakan kebenaran yang dibawa oleh para rasulNya, dan menampakkan cahayaNya di berbagai penjuru, meski orang-orang kafir membencinya. Karena kebencian, mereka mencurahkan segala daya upaya agar bisa me-madamkan cahaya Allah سبحانه وتعالى, tapi mereka pasti kalah. Mereka tidak ubahnya seperti orang yang ingin memadamkan matahari dengan cara meniup dengan mulutnya. Tujuan mereka tidak tercapai dan akal mereka tidak terbebas dari kekurangan dan celaan.
(9) Selanjutnya Allah سبحانه وتعالى menyebutkan sebab muncul dan menangnya agama Islam, baik secara indrawi (konkret) maupun maknawi, seraya berfirman, ﴾ هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ رَسُولَهُۥ بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلۡحَقِّ ﴿ "Dia-lah yang mengutus RasulNya dengan membawa petunjuk dan Agama yang benar," yakni, dengan ilmu yang bermanfaat dan amal shalih, dengan ilmu yang menunjukkan kepada Allah سبحانه وتعالى dan kepada tempat kemulia-anNya dan menunjukkan kepada amal dan akhlak yang baik serta kebaikan dunia dan akhirat, ﴾ وَدِينِ ٱلۡحَقِّ ﴿ "dan Agama yang benar," yaitu agama yang dipeluk dan dipakai untuk menyembah Rabb semesta alam. Itulah agama kebenaran dan kejujuran yang tidak terdapat kekurangan dan aib yang bisa menyebabkannya dicela. Perintah-perintah agama Islam merupakan hidangan hati, ruh, dan kenya-manan raga. Meninggalkan larangan-larangan agama adalah keselamatan dari keburukan dan kerusakan. Petunjuk dan agama kebenaran yang dibawa oleh Nabi a merupakan bukti terbesar atas kebenarannya. Agama itu adalah bukti nyata yang tetap bertahan selama waktu masih ada. Orang berakal yang semakin memikirkan agama Islam akan semakin berbahagia dan mengetahui. ﴾ لِيُظۡهِرَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ ﴿ "Agar Dia memenangkannya di atas segala agama-agama," mak-sudnya, agar Islam mengungguli seluruh agama dengan berbagai hujjah dan bukti nyata dan memenangkan para penegak Islam, baik dengan pedang maupun tombak. Sifat ini tetap lekat dalam agama Islam di segala waktu. Tidak bisa dikalahkan dan diban-tah oleh siapa pun, sehingga Islam tetap mendapatkan keme-nangan dan keperkasaan. Adapun para pemeluknya, jika mereka menegakkannya dan menjadikannya sebagai lentera dan petunjuk dalam berbagai kepentingan mereka, baik kepentingan dunia mau-pun akhirat, maka tidak ada yang dapat menentangnya, mereka pasti menang di atas para pemeluk agama-agama lain. Namun jika mereka menyia-nyiakan Islam dan hanya sekedar memeluk saja, maka hal itu tidak berguna bagi mereka. Tindakan mereka yang menyia-nyiakan agama Islam ini menjadi penyebab musuh mampu menguasai mereka. Siapa pun yang banyak mempelajari sejarah dan merenungkan kondisi awal kaum Muslimin dan juga lainnya pasti tahu. 9
The miracles of Moses, were the proof of the fact that he was the Prophet of God. But the Egyptians called them feats of magic and ignored them. Similarly, in the ancient divine scriptures there was a clear prediction made about the Prophet Muhammad. But when he actually appeared, both the Jews and Christians rejected him. Man is such a transgressor that he is not ready to accept even plain realities.
Rappelle-toi, ô Messager, lorsque Jésus fils de Marie dit: Ô Israélites, je suis le messager qu’Allah vous a envoyé afin de confirmer la Torah qui a été révélée avant moi. Je ne suis pas le premier messager à apporter ce message. J’ai également été envoyé afin d’annoncer la venue d’un messager qui sera envoyé plus tard et dont le nom est `Ahmad. Lorsque Jésus leur présenta les arguments démontrant Sa véracité, ils dirent: Ceci est une magie évidente que nous ne suivrons pas.
Ingatlah -wahai Rasul- tatkala Isa bin Maryam -‘alaihissalām- berkata, “Wahai Bani Israil! Sesungguhnya aku adalah utusan Allah yang diutus kepada kalian untuk membenarkan apa yang turun sebelumku, yaitu Taurat, sehingga aku bukanlah rasul yang pertama, dan untuk membawa kabar gembira tentang seorang rasul yang datang setelahku yang bernama Ahmad.” Maka, tatkala Muhammad mendatangkan kepada mereka bukti-bukti yang membuktikan kebenarannya, mereka berkata, “Ini adalah sihir yang nyata, kami sekali-kali tidak akan mengikutinya.”
Spomeni, o Poslaniče, vijest kada je Isa, sin Merjemin, rekao: "O sinovi
Israilovi, ja sam vam Allahov poslanik, da vam potvrdim prije mene objavljeni Tevrat kao istinitu knjigu i ja nisam prvi poslanik. Došao sam da vam donesem radosnu vijest o poslaniku nakon mene, čije je ime Ahmed." I kad im je Isa donio jasne dokaze koji ukazuju na njegovu istinitost, oni rekoše: "Ovo je očita vradžbina i mi te nećemo slijediti."
Banggitin mo, O Sugo, nang nagsabi si Jesus na anak ni Maria – sumakanya ang pagbati ng kapayapaan: "O mga anak ni Israel, tunay na ako ay sugo ni Allāh; nagpadala Siya sa akin sa inyo bilang tagapagpatotoo para sa bumaba bago ko na Torah sapagkat hindi ako isang pasimula sa mga sugo, at bilang tagapagbalita ng nakagagalak hinggil sa isang Sugo na darating matapos ko na, na ang pangalan niya ay Aḥmad." Ngunit noong naghatid sa kanila si Jesus ng mga katwirang nagpapatunay sa katapatan niya ay nagsabi sila: "Ito ay isang panggagaway na maliwanag kaya hindi kami susunod sa kanya."
Ngươi - hỡi Thiên Sứ - hãy nhớ lại lời của Ysa (Giê-su) con trai của Maryam nói với người dân của Y: “Hỡi con cháu Israel, chắc chắn Ta chính là Thiên Sứ của Allah được Ngài phái đến cho các ngươi, mục đích nhằm xác nhận lại những gì đến trước Ta từ trong kinh Tawrah (Kinh Cựu ước), Ta không phải kẻ mạo danh thiên sứ và để Ta làm chứng xác thực về một vị Thiên Sứ sẽ xuất hiện sau Ta tên là Ahmad, và đó chính là một tên khác của Muhammad”. Vậy mà khi Ysa đến với họ mang những lời mặc khải rõ rệt thì họ lại bảo: “Đây là một trò phù thủy hiển hiện, chúng tôi không nghe theo.”
Allah'ı birlemeye dayanan tevhit dini olan İslam’a çağrıldığı halde Allah'a ortaklar koşup onlara ibadet ederek Allah'a karşı yalan uydurandan daha zalim kim olabilir? Allah, şirk ve masiyetler ile kendilerine zulmeden zalimler topluluğunu kendilerini dosdoğru yol üzere kılacak olan doğru yola erdirmez.
Tidak seorang pun yang lebih zalim daripada seseorang yang mengada-adakan kedustaan atas Allah dengan membuat tandingan-tandingan bagi-Nya, menyembah mereka selain menyembah Allah padahal dia diseru kepada Islam, agama tauhid yang murni untuk Allah. Sungguh, Allah tidak memberi taufik kepada kaum yang menganiaya diri mereka sendiri dengan melakukan syirik dan maksiat kepada segala kebaikan dan kelurusan mereka.
A ima li većeg zulumćara od onoga koji o Allahu laži iznosi, pripisujući mu sudruga i božanstva koja se mimo Njega obožavaju, dok se u islam, jedinu ispravnu vjeru poziva?! A Allah neće uputiti na pravi put ljude zulumćare, koji sebi čine nepravdu, kroz širk i grijehe.
The Most Unjust among all People
Allah said,
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدْعَى إِلَى الإِسْلاَمِ
(And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah, while he is being invited to Islam) meaning, none is more unjust than he who lies about Allah and calls upon rivals and associates partners with Him, even while he is being invited to Tawhid and sincerely worshipping Him. This is why Allah said,
وَاللَّهُ لاَ يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظَّـلِمِينَ
(And Allah guides not the people who are wrongdoers.) Allah said,
يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُواْ نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَهِهِمْ
(They intend to put out the Light of Allah with their mouths.) indicating that the disbelievers will try to contradict the truth with falsehood. Their attempts are similar to one's attempt to extinguish the sun with his mouth, which is impossible. Likewise is the case of their attempt to extinguish truth. So Allah said,
يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُواْ نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَـفِرُونَ - هُوَ الَّذِى أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ
(But Allah will bring His Light to perfection even though the disbelievers hate (it). He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it victorious over all (other) religions even though the idolators hate (it).) We explained the meanings of similar Ayat before, in the Tafsir of Surah Bara'ah. All praise and thanks are due to Allah.
Và không một ai là kẻ bất công và đáng ghét hơn những kẻ đã lừa dối Allah, đã gán cùng với Ngài một thần linh đồng đẳng trong việc thờ phượng trong khi y được mời gọi vào Islam và tôn thờ một mình Allah duy nhất. Quả thật, Allah sẽ không hướng dẫn những kẻ phủ nhận đức tin, làm điều Shirk đến với sự thành công.
There is none who is more wrong than the one who makes up lies about Allah when he makes rivals for Him that he worships besides Him, whilst he is called to Islam, the religion of pure monotheism for Allah. Allah does not guide a people who wrong themselves by committing idolatry and sins to that in which lies their rectitude and righteousness.
E nessuno è più ingiusto di chi inventa menzogna sul conto di Allāh, attribuendoGli pari e adorandoli, mentre Egli invita all'Islām, la dottrina del sincero Monoteismo, e Allāh non sostiene il popolo ingiusto che fa torto a sé stesso con l'idolatria e i peccati, non li guida alla rettitudine, alla retta via, alla conoscenza, né alla correttezza nel parlare e nell'agire.
No hay nadie más injusto que aquel que inventa mentiras acerca de Al-lah, atribuyéndole iguales que adora además de Él, cuando es llamado al Islam, la religión del monoteísmo puro de Al-lah. Al-lah no guía al pueblo que es injusto consigo mismo al cometer idolatría y pecados hacia lo que es recto y justo.
Walang isang higit na matindi sa paglabag sa katarungan kaysa sa sinumang lumikha-likha laban kay Allāh ng kasinungalingan yayamang gumawa ito para sa Kanya ng mga kaagaw na sinasamba nito bukod pa sa Kanya samantalang ito ay inaanyayahan sa Islām, ang Relihiyong wagas ng paniniwala sa kaisahan ni Allāh. Si Allāh ay hindi nagtutuon sa mga taong tagalabag sa katarungan sa mga sarili nila dahil sa pagtatambal [sa Kanya] at mga pagsuway sa anumang may dulot na paggagabay sa kanila at pagtatama sa kanila.
Personne n’est plus injuste que celui qui invente un mensonge sur Allah, en Lui attribuant des semblables qu’il adore en dehors de Lui, alors qu’on l’appelle à l’Islam, la religion du monothéisme pur. Et Allah ne facilite pas la droiture à ceux qui, parce que polythéiste et pécheur, sont injustes envers eux-mêmes
Negatori istine i oni koji laž iznose žele utrnuti Allahovo svjetlo ustima svojim, govreći razne neispravne stavove, iskrivljujući istinu, a Allah će upotpuniti svjetlo Svoje i vjeru svoju na svim krajevima svijeta, makar to mrzili nevjernici i makar im ne bilo po volji.
Nagnanais ang mga tagapasinungaling na ito na umapula sa liwanag ni Allāh sa pamamagitan ng namumutawi mula sa kanila na mga tiwaling sinasabi at pagbaluktot sa katotohanan samantalang si Allāh ay magkukumpleto sa liwanag Niya, sa kabila ng mga pagmamaliit nila, sa pamamagitan ng pagpapangibabaw sa relihiyon niya sa mga silangan ng lupa at mga kanluran nito at ng pagpapataas ng salita Niya.
Những kẻ vô đức tin tội lỗi muốn dập tắt Ánh Sáng của Allah bằng chính những lời nói bịa đặt và điêu ngoa của họ để thay đổi chân lý, nhưng cho dù họ có cố chống đối và phủ nhận như thế nào đi chăng nữa thì Allah vẫn hoàn thiện Ánh Sáng của Ngài từ đông sang tây và giơ cao lời phán của Ngài.
Ces dénégateurs veulent éteindre la lumière d’Allah, en proférant avec leurs bouches des discours corrompus et en dénaturant la vérité. Allah parachèvera Sa lumière malgré eux, en rendant victorieuse Sa religion dans les contrées orientales et occidentales de la Terre et en élevant haut Sa parole.
O yalanlayıcılar kendilerinden sadır olan yanlış sözler ile hakkı karalayarak Allah’ın nurunu söndürmek istiyorlar. Kâfirlerin hoşuna gitmese de Yüce Allah, yeryüzünün doğusunda ve batısında dinini üstün kılarak ve kelimesini yücelterek nurunu tamamlayacaktır.
Orang-orang yang mendustakan itu ingin memadamkan cahaya Allah dengan ucapan-ucapan buruk dan menjelek-jelekkan kebenaran. Akan tetapi, Allah menyempurnakan cahaya-Nya meski mereka tidak suka, yaitu dengan memenangkan agama-Nya dan meninggikan kalimat-Nya di bagian timur bumi dan baratnya.
These deniers want to extinguish Allah’s light with the false statements and distortion of the truth that proceed from them. Allah will perfect His light despite them by making His religion triumph in the east and the west of the earth and by raising His word.
Estos desmentidores quieren extinguir la luz de Al-lah por medio de las declaraciones falsas y la tergiversación de la verdad que hacen. Al-lah perfeccionará Su luz, aunque les pese, haciendo triunfar Su religión en el este y el oeste de la Tierra y elevando Su palabra.
Questi bugiardi vorrebbero estinguere la luce di Allāh diffondendo nefande dicerie e infangando la verità, mentre Allāh completa la sua luce inevitabilmente, contro la loro volontà, diffondendo la Sua religione a Levante e a Ponente ed elevando la Sua Parola.
In this verse ‘He may cause it to prevail over all religions’ means that in terms of intellectual supremacy, all non-monotheistic beliefs about God and religion in the world were to be demolished and monotheistic belief was to be promoted as the predominant belief. All other beliefs were to be intellectually overcome. This was a forecast made in the Quran under the most unfavourable conditions in the year 3 Hijrah. But it later turned out to be literally true.
On je Onaj Koji je poslao Svog poslanika Muhammeda, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, s Uputom i Vjerom islamom, kao vjerom Istine, vjerom korisnog znanja i dobrih djela, da bi je uzdigao iznad svih vjera, makar to višebošci mrzili i makar im ne bilo po volji.
Al-lah es Quien envió a Su mensajero Mujámmad r con la religión del Islam, la religión de la guía y la dirección hacia el bien, la religión del conocimiento beneficioso y de la justicia, para que Él la haga prevalecer sobre todas las religiones, aunque a los idólatras les disguste que se establezca en la Tierra.
Si Allāh ay ang nagpadala ng Sugo Niyang si Muḥammad – ang basbas at ang pagbabati ng kapayapaan ay sumakanya – kalakip ng Relihiyong Islām, ang Relihiyon ng kapatnubayan at paggabay sa kabutihan at ang Relihiyon ng kaalamang napakikinabangan at gawaing maayos upang magtaas Siya nito sa lahat ng mga relihiyon sa kabila ng mga pagmamaliit ng mga tagapagtambal na nasusuklam na mabigyang-kapangyarihan ito sa lupa.
Allah is the One Who sent His messenger, Muhammad (peace be on him) with the religion of Islam, the religion of guidance and direction to good, the religion of beneficial knowledge and righteous action, so that He makes it prevail over all other religions despite the idolaters who hate for it to be established on earth.
Allahlah yang mengutus Rasul-Nya, Muhammad -ṣallallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam- dengan agama Islam, agama petunjuk dan tuntunan menuju kebaikan, agama ilmu yang bermanfaat, dan amal yang saleh, agar Dia meninggikannya di atas seluruh agama, meski tidak disukai oleh orang-orang musyrikin yang benci bila Islam menyebar di bumi ini.
Resulü Muhammed -sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem-'i hayra hidayet ve irşat eden, faydalı ilim ve salih amel dini olan İslam dini ile dinini bütün dinlere üstün kılmak için gönderen Allah'tır. Müşrikler hoşlanmasalar da Allah, dinini yeryüzüne hakim kılacaktır.
Allāh è Colui che ha inviato il Suo Messaggero Muħammed, pace e benedizione di Allāh su di lui ﷺ, con la religione dell'Islām, la religione della retta via, la rettitudine, la guida verso le buone azioni, così da elevarla al di sopra di ogni altra religione contro la volontà degli idolatri, che odiano il fatto che questa religione acquisti autorità in terra.
Allah là Đấng đã cử phái vị Thiên Sứ của Ngài, Muhammad - cầu xin Allah bang sự bình an đến Người - mang tôn giáo Islam đến, tôn giáo của sự chỉ đạo và hướng dẫn đến với điều tốt đẹp, tôn giáo của kiến thức hữu ích và việc làm đức hạnh, để Nó lấn áp tất cả các tôn giáo khác, Nó khiến những kẻ thờ đa thần ghét Nó khi Nó có vị thế trên mặt đất.
Allah est Celui qui envoya Son Messager Muħammad avec l’Islam, la religion de la guidée et de l’orientation vers le bien, la religion de la science bénéfique et des bonnes œuvres, afin de l’élever au-dessus de toutes les religions, quelle que soit l’aversion qu’en aient les polythéistes qui détestent que l’Islam se propage sur la Terre.
10- Ey iman edenler! Sizi can yakıcı bir azaptan kurtaracak bir ticareti size göstereyim mi?
11- Allah’a ve Rasûlüne iman edersiniz, mallarınızla ve canlarınızla da Allah yolunda cihâd edersiniz. Eğer bilirseniz bu, sizin için daha hayırlıdır.
12- (Böyle yaparsanız) Allah günahlarınızı bağışlar ve sizi altlarından ırmaklar akan cennetlere ve Adn cennetlerindeki çok hoş meskenlere koyar. İşte büyük kurtuluş da budur.
13- Ve hoşlanacağınız bir şey daha: Allah’tan bir zafer ve yakın bir fetih. Mü’minlere müjdele!
14- Ey iman edenler! Allah’ın/dininin yardımcıları olun. Nitekim Meryemoğlu İsa da Havarilere:“Allah’a (giden yolda) benim yardımcılarım kim olacak?” demiş, Havariler de:“Biz, Allah’ın/dininin yardımcılarıyız” demişlerdi. Böylece İsrailoğullarından bir kesim iman etmiş, bir kesim de inkâr etmişti. Nihayet Biz iman edenleri düşmanlarına karşı destekledik de üstün gelenler onlar oldular.
10. Bu buyruklarda merhametliler merhametlisi Yüce Allah’ın, mü’min kullarına yönelik bir vasiyeti, yol göstermesi ve irşadı yer almaktadır. Bununla en büyük ticaret, en üstün maksat ve en yüce isteğin yolu gösterilmektedir ki onunla can yakıcı azaptan kurtuluş ve ebedi nimetlere nail oluş gerçekleşir. Bu buyrukta (“size göstereyim mi” denilerek) bunun, aklı başında herkesin rağbet edeceği ve akıllı her bir kimsenin can atacağı bir şey olduğu ifade edilmiştir.
11. Sanki: Bu kadar üstün ve değerli olan ticaret nedir?, diye sorulmuşçasına Yüce Allah, şöyle buyurmaktadır:“Allah’a ve Rasûlüne iman edersiniz.” Bilindiği gibi tam ve eksiksiz iman, Allah’ın tasdik edilmesini emrettiği her şeyi kesin olarak tasdik etmektir ki bu da en üstün ve değerlilerinden biri Allah yolunda cihad etmek olan bedeni amelleri gerektiren bir imandır. Bundan dolayı da şöyle buyurmaktadır:
"Mallarınızla ve canlarınızla da Allah yolunda cihâd edersiniz.” İslâm’ın düşmanları ile çarpışmak uğrunda, Allah’ın dinini ve yüce adını yükseltmek için canlarınızı feda edersiniz ve bu maksatla elinizden geldiğince mallarınızı infak edersiniz. Bu, her ne kadar nefislerin hoşlanmadığı ve onlara ağır gelen bir şey ise de “eğer bilirseniz bu sizin için daha hayırlıdır.” Çünkü düşmanlara karşı zafer kazanmak, zilletin yerine izzet ve güç sahibi olmak, geniş rızka, rahat ve huzurlu bir kalbe sahi olmak gibi dünyevî hayırlar hep buna bağlıdır. Yine Allah’ın mükâfatlarına nail olmak ve O’nun cezasından kurtulmak gibi uhrevî hayırlar da bununla elde edilir. Bundan dolayı Allah, âhiretteki mükâfatı söz konusu ederek şöyle buyurmaktadır:
12. “(Böyle yaparsanız) Allah günahlarınızı bağışlar.” Bu buyruk, büyük ve küçük günahları kapsar. Zira Allah’a iman ve Allah yolunda cihad etmek, [kul hakkı hariç] bütün günahlara -büyük bile olsalar- kefârettir.
"Ve sizi altlarından ırmaklar akan cennetlere” yani meskenlerinin, köşklerinin, odalarının ve ağaçlarının altından, kokuşmayan sudan, tadı değişmeyen sütten, içenlere lezzet veren şaraptan ve süzme baldan nehirler akar. Onlara her türlü meyvelerden de ihsan edilir.
"ve Adn cennetlerindeki çok hoş meskenlere koyar.” Yükseklik, yücelik, güzel yapı ve süs gibi her türlü güzelliği kendisinde toplamış meskenlere yerleştirir. Öyle ki “İlliyyîn”de bulunan köşklerdekileri, cennetlikler tıpkı doğu veya batı ufkunda görülen inci misali parlak bir yıldız gibi görürler.
Dahası cennetin yapılarının kimisi altın kerpiçlerden, kimisi de gümüş kerpiçlerdendir. Çadırları da inci ile mercandandır. Oralarda kimi evler zümrütten, kimileri de başka güzel renkli mücevherlerdendir. Hatta bunlar, o kadar şeffaftırlar ki dışarıdan içleri, içlerinden dışları görülür.
Orada öyle iyi ve güzel şeyler vardır ki kimsenin bunları tam manasıyla anlatması söz konusu olamaz. Çünkü onlar, hiç kimsenin hatırından dahi geçmemiştir. Görmedikçe, güzelliğinden yararlanmadıkça ve onlarla gözleri aydınlanmadıkça hiç kimsenin böylesini idrâk etmesine imkân da yoktur. Öyle ki eğer Yüce Allah, cennetlikleri tam ve eksiksiz bir surette, ölüp yok olmayacak şekilde yaratmamış olsaydı, sevinçten nerede ise ölürlerdi.
Varlıklardan hiç kimsenin kendisini gereği gibi övme imkânına sahip olamadığı Zatın şanı ne yücedir! O, kendi zatını övdüğü gibidir. Mahlukatından herkesin kendisini övdüğünden çok daha ileridir. Nimetler yurdu cenneti yaratan, orada insanların akıllarını hayrete düşürecek, gönüllerini kendisine bağlayacak pek çok güzellikler ve muazzam şeyler yaratan O celal ve cemal sahibi Allah’ın şanı ne yücedir! O Yüce Allah’ın hikmeti o kadar mükemmeldir ki bunun bir tecellisi şudur: Kullar cenneti görüp de içindeki nimetlere bakacak olsalardı, hiçbir kimse amelde bulunmaktan geri kalmaz ve nimetleri acısı ile karışık, sevinci kederine bulanmış, hevesi kursakta bırakan bu dünya yurdundaki hayatlarından lezzet almazlardı.
Adn cennetine bu adın veriliş sebebi, oraya girenlerin ebediyen çıkmamak üzere orada yerleşmiş olmaları ve oradan ayrılmayı da istemeksizin sürekli kalacak olmalarından dolayıdır. İşte bu pek büyük mükâfat ve pek güzel ecir, eşi benzersi olmayan büyük bir kurtuluştur. Bu, (bu ticaretin) âhiretteki mükâfatıdır.
13. Bu ticaretin dünyevî mükâfatına gelince bunu da Yüce Allah şöylece dile getirmektedir:“Ve hoşlanacağınız bir şey daha” yani sizler seveceğiniz bir hususu daha elde edeceksiniz: Düşmanlarınıza karşı aziz olmanızı sağlayacak ve sizi sevindirecek “Allah’tan bir zafer ve yakın bir fetih” ile İslâm’ın dairesi genişleyecek, bu yolla bol rızıklar elde edeceksiniz. İşte mücahid mü’minlerin mükâfatı budur.
Başkaları cihâdın gereklerini yerine getirmeleri halinde kendileri cihâda fiilen katılmayan mü’minlere gelince; Yüce Allah bunların da lütuf ve ihsandan ümitlerini kesmemeleri için:“mü’minlere müjdele!” buyurmaktadır. Yani herkese imanı oranında verielcek olan dünyevî ve uhrevî mükâfatı müjdele! Allah yolunda cihâd eden mücâhidlerin derecesine ulaşmasalar da hepsi için bir müjde vardır. Nitekim Peygamber sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem şöyle buyurmaktadır:“Kim Rab olarak Allah’ı, din olarak İslâm’ı, rasûl olarak Muhammed’i gönül hoşnutluğu ile kabul edecek olursa ona cennet vacib olur.” Hadisi rivâyet eden Ebu Said el-Hudri radıyallahu anh hayretle şöyle demiştir:“Ey Allah’ın Rasûlü, bunu bana bir daha tekrarlar mısın?” Peygamber sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem sözünü bir daha tekrarladıktan sonra devamla şöyle buyurdu: “Bir başka (amel) daha vardır ki, onun sayesinde kul cennette yüz derece yükseltilir. İki derecenin arasındaki mesafe ise gök ile yer arası kadardır.” Ebu Said: “O (amel) nedir, ey Allah’ın Rasûlü?” deyince de Peygamber sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem: “Allah yolunda cihâd” buyurdu. Müslim rivâyet etmiştir. Daha sonra Yüce Allah şöyle buyurmaktadır:
14. “Ey iman edenler!” Sözlerinizle ve davranışlarınızla “Allah’ın/dininin yardımcıları olun.” Bu da Allah’ın dinini nefislerde uygulamak, başkalarına uygulamak için gayret etmek, bu dine karşı inat eden ve mücadele verenlerle hem beden hem de malla cihad etmek, ilim zannettiği şeylerle bâtıla yardımcı olan ve hakkı reddetmeye kalkışan kimselere karşı da onların delillerini çürütmek, onlara karşı delilleri ortaya koymak ve başkalarını ondan sakındırmak sureti ile yapılır. Allah’ın Kitabının ve Rasûlünün sünnetini öğrenmek, öğretmek, buna teşvik etmek, iyiliği emredip kötülükten sakındırmak da Allah’ın dinine yardım etmenin kapsamı içerisindedir.
Daha sonra Yüce Allah, mü’minlere kendilerinden önceki salihlere uymayı hatırlatarak onları gayrete getirmek üzere şöyle buyurmaktadır:“Nitekim Meryem oğlu İsa da Havarilere: Allah’a (giden yolda) benim yardımcılarım kim olacak?”Yani onların dikkatlerini çekerek şöyle demişti: Kim Allah’ın dinine yardım etme yolunda bana yardımcı olur? Kim benim yaptığımı yapar, ben nereye gidersem gelir ve nereden çıkarsam çıkar?“Havariler de” ellerini çabuk tutarak: “Biz, Allah’ın/dininin yardımcılarıyız, demişlerdi.” Böylece İsa aleyhisselam ile beraberindeki Havariler, Allah’ın dinine yardımcı olmaya devam ettiler.
"Böylece” İsa aleyhisselam ve Havarilerin davette bulunmaları üzere “İsrailoğullarından bir kesim iman etmiş” onlardan başka “bir kesim de inkâr etmişti.” Onların çağrılarını kabul etmemiş, bunun üzerine mü’minler de kâfirlerle cihâda koyulmuşlardı.
"Biz de iman edenleri düşmanlarına karşı destekledik.” Onlara güç verdik ve düşmanlarına karşı onlara yardım ettik. “de” düşmana karşı “üstün gelenler onlar oldular.” Onları yenik düşürdüler.
İşte ey Muhammed ümmeti! Sizler de Allah’ın dininin yardımcıları ve davetçileri olun ki Allah da sizden öncekilere yardım ettiği gibi, size de yardım etsin, zafer versin ve sizleri düşmanlarınıza üstün ve galip kılsın.
Saf Sûresi’nin tefsiri burada sona ermektedir.
Âlemlerin Rabbi olan Allah’a hamdolsun.

O vi koji vjerujete u Allaha i radite po Njegovom zakonu, hoćete li da vam ukažem i da vas uputim na trgovinu u kojoj ste na dobitku, koja

O mga sumampalataya kay Allāh at gumawa ayon sa isinabatas Niya para sa kanila, gagabay ba ako sa inyo at papatnubay ba ako tungo sa inyo sa isang pangangalakal na tumutubo, na sasagip sa inyo mula sa isang pagdurusang nakasasakit?
The Trade that saves One from the Painful Torment
We mentioned a Hadith from `Abdullah bin Salam in that the Companions wanted to ask the Prophet of Allah about the best actions with Allah the Exalted and Most Honored, so they could practice them. Allah the Exalted sent down this Surah, including this Ayah,
يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكمْ عَلَى تِجَـرَةٍ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
(O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a trade that will save you from a painful torment) Allah then explained this great trade that will never fail, the trade that will earn one what he wishes and saves him from what he dislikes. Allah the Exalted said,
تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَـهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَلِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
(That you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that you strive hard and fight in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know!) this is better than the trade of this life and striving hard for it and amassing it. Allah the Exalted said,
يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ
(He will forgive you your sins,) meaning, `if you fulfill what I commanded you and guided you to, then I will forgive your sins and admit you into the Gardens of Paradise. In them, you will have exalted residences and high postitions.' This is why Allah the Exalted said,
وَيُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنَّـتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الاٌّنْهَـرُ وَمَسَـكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِى جَنَّـتِ عَدْنٍ ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
(and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwellings in `Adn (Eternal) Paradise; that is indeed the great success.) Allah said,
وَأُخْرَى تُحِبُّونَهَا
(And also another (blessing) which you love,) meaning, `I will grant you more favors that you like,'
نَصْرٌ مِّن اللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ
(help from Allah and a near victory.) meaning, if you fight in Allah's cause and support His religion, He will grant you victory. Allah the Exalted said,
يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِن تَنصُرُواْ اللَّهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ
(O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allah, He will help you, and make your foothold firm.) (47:7), and,
وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ
(Verily, Allah will help those who help His (cause). Truly, Allah is All Strong, All-Wise.) (22:40) Allah's statement,
وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ
(and a near victory.) means, it will come sooner, and this is the increased favor that is earned in this life and continues, becoming the delight of the Hereafter. It is for those who obey Allah and His Messenger and support Allah and His religion. Allah said;
وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
(And give glad tidings to the believers.)
"Hai orang-orang yang beriman, sukakah kamu Aku tunjuk-kan suatu perniagaan yang dapat menyelamatkan kamu dari azab yang pedih? (Yaitu) kamu beriman kepada Allah dan RasulNya dan berjihad di jalan Allah dengan harta dan jiwamu, itulah yang lebih baik bagimu jika kamu mengetahuinya, niscaya Allah akan mengampuni dosa-dosamu dan memasukkan kamu ke dalam surga yang mengalir di bawahnya sungai-sungai, dan (memasukkan kamu) ke tempat tinggal yang baik di surga 'Adn. Itulah keberun-tungan yang besar. Dan (ada lagi) karunia lain yang kamu sukai (yaitu) pertolongan dari Allah dan kemenangan yang dekat (wak-tunya). Dan sampaikanlah berita gembira kepada orang-orang yang beriman. Hai orang-orang yang beriman, jadilah kamu penolong-penolong (agama) Allah, sebagaimana Isa putra Maryam telah berkata kepada pengikut-pengikutnya yang setia, 'Siapakah yang akan menjadi penolong-penolongku (untuk menegakkan agama) Allah?' Pengikut-pengikut yang setia itu berkata, 'Kamilah peno-long penolong agama Allah!,' lalu segolongan dari Bani Israil beriman dan segolongan (yang lain) kafir; maka Kami berikan ke-kuatan kepada orang-orang yang beriman terhadap musuh-musuh mereka, lalu mereka menjadi orang-orang yang menang." (Ash-Shaf: 10-14).
(10) Ini adalah wasiat, petunjuk, dan arahan dari Allah سبحانه وتعالى Yang Maha Pemurah di antara para pemurah terhadap para hamba-hambaNya yang beriman, kepada bisnis terbesar, tuntutan paling luhur dan tujuan paling tinggi, yang jika didapat, akan menyela-matkan dari azab yang pedih dan mendapatkan kenikmatan abadi. Allah سبحانه وتعالى menyebutkan kata penawaran yang menunjukkan bahwa hal ini adalah sesuatu yang diinginkan oleh orang yang bersabar dan yang berakal.
(11) Seolah-olah ada yang bertanya, "Transaksi apa yang ni-lainya sedemikian besar?" Allah سبحانه وتعالى berfirman, ﴾ تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ﴿ "(Yaitu) kamu beriman kepada Allah dan RasulNya," sebagaimana diketahui bahwa keimanan yang sempurna adalah membenarkan dengan bulat terhadap perintah Allah سبحانه وتعالى dengan cara membenarkannya yang mengharuskan untuk diamalkan oleh anggota badan. Dan yang paling utama adalah berjihad di jalanNya, karena itu Allah سبحانه وتعالى berfirman, ﴾ وَتُجَٰهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمۡوَٰلِكُمۡ وَأَنفُسِكُمۡۚ ﴿ "Dan berjihad di jalan Allah dengan harta dan jiwamu," dengan mencurahkan diri dan nyawa kalian untuk menyerang musuh Islam dengan maksud untuk menolong agama Allah سبحانه وتعالى dan meninggikan kalimatNya. Kalian mengeluarkan dana semampu kalian untuk tujuan itu meski hal itu tidak disukai dan terasa berat bagi jiwa, tapi jihad ﴾ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿ "itulah yang lebih baik bagimu jika kamu mengetahuinya." Dalam jihad terdapat kebaikan dunia seperti kemenangan dari musuh, kemuliaan yang menafikan kerendahan, keleluasaan rizki, dan ke-lapangan dada. Sedangkan kebaikan akhirat adalah mendapatkan pahala Allah سبحانه وتعالى dan selamat dari siksaNya.
(12) Karena itu Allah سبحانه وتعالى menyebutkan pahala di akhirat seraya berfirman, ﴾ يَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ ذُنُوبَكُمۡ ﴿ "Niscaya Allah akan mengampuni dosa-dosamu," mencakup dosa-dosa kecil dan dosa-dosa besar, karena beriman kepada Allah سبحانه وتعالى dan berjihad di jalanNya bisa menghapus dosa meski dosa besar. ﴾ وَيُدۡخِلۡكُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ ﴿ "Dan memasukkan kamu ke dalam surga yang mengalir di bawahnya sungai-sungai," mak-sudnya, di bawah tempat tinggal, istana, ruangan kamar, dan pe-pohonannya mengalir sungai-sungai yang bersumber dari air yang rasa, aroma, dan warnanya tidak berubah, sungai-sungai dari susu yang rasanya tidak berubah, sungai dari khamar nikmat untuk me-reka yang meminumnya, dan sungai dari madu murni, dan mereka mendapatkan berbagai macam buah-buahan. ﴾ وَمَسَٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةٗ فِي جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٖۚ ﴿ "Dan (memasukkan kamu) ke tempat tinggal yang baik di Surga 'Adn." Maksudnya, mencakup segala kebaikan berupa ketinggian, indah-nya bangunan dan perhiasan, hingga para penghuni kamar peng-huni surga tertinggi dapat dilihat oleh seluruh penduduk surga, laksana bintang gemerlap yang dapat dilihat di ufuk langit timur dan barat. Bahkan bangunan surga ada yang berasal dari batu bata emas, ada juga yang berbatu bata perak dan marmernya terbuat dari mutiara dan mutu manikam. Sebagian rumah di surga terbuat dari mutiara dengan berbagai warna-warni. Karena begitu cerah-nya, sisi dalam dapat dilihat dari luar dan sebaliknya. Di dalam surga terdapat kebaikan dan keindahan yang tidak dapat dilukis-kan oleh siapa pun dan tidak pernah terlintas di hati satu makhluk pun dari seluruh alam. Mereka tidak akan bisa mengangankannya hingga mereka melihatnya, menikmati keindahannya, dan menye-jukkan mata mereka.
Dalam kondisi seperti itu andai Allah سبحانه وتعالى tidak menciptakan penghuni surga secara sempurna dan tidak kekal, tentu hampir saja mereka mati karena terlalu bahagia. Mahasuci Dzat yang tidak ada satu pun makhlukNya yang bisa menghitung pujian untukNya. Tapi Dia adalah seperti yang Dia puji DiriNya sendiri dan di atas pu-jian seluruh makhluk. Mahasuci Allah Yang Mahaluhur lagi Indah yang menciptakan tempat kenikmatan. Menciptakan keluhuran dan keindahan di dalamnya yang membuat akal semua makhluk terpana dan tertarik hatinya. Mahatinggi Allah Yang bagiNya hikmah sempurna yang seandainya memperlihatkan surga pada para hambaNya hingga mereka melihat apa saja yang terdapat di dalamnya, tentu tidak ada seorang pun yang akan ketinggalan dan tentu tidak ada seorang pun yang mau hidup di dunia yang kenikmatannya dicampuri kepedihan dan kesenangannya dicam-puri kesengsaraan. Surga tersebut dinamakan 'Adn karena peng-huninya menempatinya dan tidak keluar selamanya, serta tidak ingin mencari ganti. Itulah balasan besar dan pahala yang indah yang merupakan suatu keberuntungan besar tanpa tandingan. Dan inilah balasan akhirat.
(13) Adapun pahala duniawi untuk transaksi ini disebutkan oleh Allah سبحانه وتعالى dalam FirmanNya, ﴾ وَأُخۡرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَاۖ ﴿ "Dan (ada lagi) karunia lain yang kamu sukai," yakni, terdapat hal lain yang kalian peroleh yang kalian sukai yaitu, ﴾ نَصۡرٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ﴿ "pertolongan dari Allah" untuk kalian atas musuh-musuh kalian. Dengan kemenangan itu kalian mendapatkan kejayaan dan kesenangan, ﴾ وَفَتۡحٞ قَرِيبٞۗ ﴿ "dan kemenangan yang dekat (waktunya)." Dengan kemenangan ini kawasan Islam se-makin meluas dan rizki yang luas pun didapat. Ini adalah balasan bagi orang-orang Mukmin yang berjihad. Adapun kaum Mukminin yang tidak berjihad manakala yang lainnya berjihad, Allah سبحانه وتعالى tidak membuat mereka berputus asa dari karunia dan kebaikanNya, tapi Allah سبحانه وتعالى berfirman, ﴾ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ﴿ "Dan sampaikanlah berita gembira kepada orang-orang yang beriman." Maksudnya, dengan pahala yang langsung di dunia dan tertunda di akhirat. Masing-masing men-dapatkan pahala berdasarkan keimanannya, meski mereka tidak mencapai tingkatan para mujahid yang berjuang di jalan Allah سبحانه وتعالى, sebagaimana yang disabdakan Nabi a,
مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللّٰهِ رَبًّا، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِيْنًا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُوْلًا، وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ. فَعَجِبَ لَهَا أَبُوْ سَعِيْدٍ فَقَالَ: أَعِدْهَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ، فَأَعَادَهَا مَا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَأُخْرَى يُرْفَعُ بِهَا الْعَبْدُ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، قَالَ: وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ؟ قَالَ: الْجِهَادُ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ، الْجِهَادُ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ.
"Barangsiapa yang rela Allah menjadi Rabb, Islam sebagai agama, dan Muhammad sebagai rasul, maka wajib baginya surga." Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (perawi hadits ini) merasa takjub seraya berkata, "Ulangi lagi untukku wahai Rasulullah!" Rasulullah a pun mengulanginya untuknya kemudian bersabda, "Dan lainnya, seorang hamba diangkat dengannya seratus tingkat di surga, antara masing-masing tingkatan sejarak antara langit dan bumi." Abu Sa'id bertanya, "Apa itu wahai Rasulullah?" Rasulullah a menjawab, "Jihad di jalan Allah, jihad di jalan Allah." (HR. Muslim).[119]
(14) Kemudian Allah سبحانه وتعالى berfirman, ﴾ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُوٓاْ أَنصَارَ ٱللَّهِ ﴿ "Hai orang-orang yang beriman, jadilah kamu penolong-penolong (agama) Allah," yaitu dengan perkataan dan perbuatan dengan cara mene-gakkan agama Allah سبحانه وتعالى serta gigih dalam menyebarkannya pada orang lain dan memerangi mereka yang menentang dan menolak-nya dengan raga dan harta. Memerangi orang yang menolong kebatilan yang dikiranya sebagai ilmu dan menolak kebenaran dengan cara meruntuhkan hujjahnya dan waspada terhadapnya. Termasuk menolong agama Allah سبحانه وتعالى adalah mempelajari kitab Allah سبحانه وتعالى dan Sunnah RasulNya serta mengajarkannya dan mendorong orang lain untuk mempelajari kitab Allah سبحانه وتعالى dan Sunnah RasulNya serta mengajarkannya serta memerintahkan kebaikan dan men-cegah kemungkaran.
Selanjutnya Allah سبحانه وتعالى mendorong orang-orang yang beriman agar meneladani orang-orang shalih sebelumnya seraya berfirman, ﴾ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ لِلۡحَوَارِيِّـۧنَ مَنۡ أَنصَارِيٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ ﴿ "Sebagaimana Isa putra Maryam telah berkata kepada pengikut-pengikutnya yang setia, 'Siapakah yang akan menjadi penolong-penolongku (untuk menegakkan agama) Allah?'" Mak-sudnya, Nabi Isa عليه السلام berkata kepada mereka seraya mengingatkan siapa yang menolongnya dan tegak bersamanya untuk menolong agama Allah سبحانه وتعالى, masuk dan keluar bersamaku. Para pengikut-pengikutnya yang setia bersegera dan berkata, ﴾ نَحۡنُ أَنصَارُ ٱللَّهِۖ ﴿ "Kamilah penolong-penolong agama Allah!" Nabi Isa عليه السلام pun menunaikan pe-rintah Allah سبحانه وتعالى dan menolong agamaNya bersama penolong-peno-longnya yang setia. ﴾ فَـَٔامَنَت طَّآئِفَةٞ مِّنۢ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ﴿ "Maka segolongan dari Bani Israil beriman," karena seruan Nabi Isa dan penolong-penolongnya yang setia, ﴾ وَكَفَرَت طَّآئِفَةٞۖ ﴿ "dan segolongan (yang lain) kafir," dari kalangan mereka dengan tidak tunduk pada seruan Isa dan para penolong-nya. Kemudian orang-orang Mukmin memerangi orang-orang kafir, ﴾ فَأَيَّدۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ عَلَىٰ عَدُوِّهِمۡ ﴿ "maka Kami berikan kekuatan kepada orang-orang yang beriman terhadap musuh-musuh mereka," maksudnya, Kami kuatkan mereka dan Kami memberikan kemenangan bagi mereka atas musuh-musuh mereka, ﴾ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ ظَٰهِرِينَ ﴿ "lalu mereka menjadi orang-orang yang menang" atas mereka dan menundukkan mereka. Dan kalian wahai umat Muhammad! Jadilah penolong Allah سبحانه وتعالى dan penyeru agamaNya, niscaya Allah سبحانه وتعالى akan menolong kalian seba-gaimana Allah سبحانه وتعالى menolong orang-orang sebelum kalian dan me-menangkan kalian dari musuh-musuh kalian.
Selesailah tafsir Surat ash-Shaf. Segala puji bagi Allah سبحانه وتعالى se-mata, Rabb semesta alam.
O voi che credete in Allāh e che vi attenete alla Sua Legge, volete che vi informi e vi guidi a un commercio proficuo che vi salverà dalla dolorosa punizione?
O you who have faith in Allah, and act on what He has ordained for you, shall I show and guide you to a profitable trade, that will rescue you from a painful punishment.
Này hỡi những người tin tưởng Allah và luôn chấp hành theo giáo luật của Ngài! Các ngươi có muốn TA chỉ cho các ngươi cách trao đổi mua bán có thể giải thoát các ngươi khỏi sự trừng phạt đau đớn hay không?
Ey Allah'a iman edip kendilerine gönderdiği din ile amel edenler! Sizi acı bir azaptan kurtaracak kârlı bir ticareti size göstereyim mi?
Wahai orang-orang yang beriman kepada Allah dan menjalankan syariat-Nya untuk mereka! Maukah kalian Aku tuntun dan Aku tunjukkan kepada suatu perniagaan yang menguntungkan, yang menyelamatkan kalian dari siksa yang menyakitkan?
Ô vous qui croyez en Allah et œuvrez selon ce qu’Il vous a prescrit, voulez-vous que je vous indique un commerce lucratif qui vous sauvera d’un châtiment douloureux?
¡Ustedes que tienen fe en Al-lah y que actúan conforme a lo que Él les ha ordenado! Les enseñaré y los guiaré hacia un negocio beneficioso, que los salvará de un doloroso castigo.
Este negocio beneficioso es que tengan fe en Al-lah y en Su mensajero, y que luchen por Su causa con sus riquezas y sus vidas en busca de Su complacencia. Esa acción es lo mejor para ustedes, si lo saben, así que apresúrense a cumplirla.
Ce commerce lucratif consiste à croire en Allah et en Son Messager, à lutter pour Sa cause avec vos biens et vos personnes afin d’obtenir Son agrément. Ceci est meilleur pour vous et si vous le savez, précipitez-vous y.
Cuộc đổi chác đầy lợi nhuận đó là các ngươi tin tưởng Allah và Thiên Sứ của Ngài, rồi các ngươi chiến đấu vì con đường chính nghĩa của Allah bằng cách chi xuất tài sản của các ngươi và hi sinh tính mạng của các ngươi để làm hài lòng Allah. Đó là một sự đổi chác tốt đẹp nhất trên thế gian nếu các ngươi hiểu. Bởi thế các ngươi hãy nhanh chân đến với nó.
This profitable trade is that you have faith in Allah and His messenger, and you strive in His path (may He be glorified) by spending your wealth and giving your lives to seek His pleasure. That action is better for you if you know, so rush towards it.
Commentary
تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّـهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ( ...you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and carry out jihad in His way with your riches and your lives....61:11) This verse refers to 'faith and jihad (struggle) in Allah's way with one's wealth and life' as a trade, because when man invests wealth in trade and works hard, he gains profit. Likewise, when man believes in Allah and invests his life and wealth in His cause, he incurs Allah's pleasure and attains the eternal blessings of the Hereafter, which is mentioned in the forthcoming verse that whoever carries out this trade, Allah will forgive his sins and provide him with dwellings in the Gardens of Eternity with all sorts of luxuries and comforts, as is mentioned by the Holy Prophet in explanation of 'pleasant dwellings'. Alongside the blessings of the Hereafter, the next verse promises some blessings of this world too:
Ang pangangalakal na tumutubong ito ay na sumampalataya kayo kay Allāh at sa Sugo Niya at makibaka kayo sa landas Niya – kaluwalhatian sa Kanya – sa pamamagitan ng paggugol ng mga yaman ninyo at pagkakaloob ng mga sarili ninyo sa paghahangad ng kaluguran Niya. Ang gawaing nabanggit na iyon ay higit na mabuti para sa inyo kung kayo ay nakaaalam kaya magdali-dali kayo tungo roon.
Questo commercio proficuo è credere in Allāh e nel Suo Messaggero, combattere per la causa di Allāh, gloria Sua, elargendo i vostri beni e sacrificando voi stessi, desiderando il Suo compiacimento. Le azioni menzionate sono migliori, per voi, se sapeste: affrettatevi a compierle!
Ta trgovina koja vam donosi dobitak znači da vjerujete u Allaha i Njegova Poslanika, da se na Njegovom putu borite udjeljujući imetke svoje i davajući živote svoje, kako biste stekli Njegovo zadovoljstvo. Taj posao je za vas najbolji, ako znate, pa zbog toga, požurite da ga obavite.
Perniagaan yang menguntungkan itu adalah hendaknya kalian beriman kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya dan berjuang di jalan-Nya dengan menafkahkan harta kalian dan mengorbankan jiwa kalian untuk mencari rida Allah. Perbuatan tersebut lebih baik bagi kalian andai kalian mengetahuinya, maka bersegeralah melakukannya.
In trade, a man first invests and then receives a return on his investment. In the struggle for Faith also one has to invest his strength and his possessions. From this view point, this is also a sort of trade. But, one receives the profit from worldly trade in this world, while in the religion-oriented trade, one receives the profit with further additions only in the Hereafter.
Bu kazançlı ticaret; Allah'a ve Allah'ın resulüne iman etmeniz, rızası için O'nun yolunda mallarınızı infak edip ve canlarınızı feda ederek cihat etmenizdir. Eğer bilseydiniz, zikri geçen bu ameller sizin için daha hayırlıdır. O halde bu amellere koşun.
Plodovi i rezultati te trgovine jesu oprost vaših grijeha, i ulazak u džennetske bašče, ispod čijih dvorova i stabala teku rijeke. On će vas uvesti u lijepe nastambe u Džennetu, gdje ćete vječno boraviti. Ovaj veliki uspjeh koji se spominje nije sličan ni jednom drugom uspjehu.
Lợi nhuận của cuộc đổi chác này là Allah tha thứ tội lỗi cho các ngươi và Ngài thu nhận các ngươi vào các Ngôi Vườn Thiên Đàng với các dòng sông chảy bên dưới các tòa lâu đài. Đó là một thành tựu mà không có thành tựu nào khác vĩ đại hơn.
Le bénéfice de ce commerce est qu’Allah vous pardonnera vos péchés et vous fera entrer dans des vergers où des rivières coulent sous les arbres et les palais. Il vous fera également entrer dans des demeures agréables, dans des vergers où vous résiderez en permanence. Ceci est le succès suprême qui n’est égalé par aucun autre.
Il profitto di questo commercio è che Allāh perdoni i vostri peccati e vi introduca nei Paradisi sotto i cui palazzi e alberi scorrono fiumi, e che vi introduca in eccelse residenze nei Paradisi della Dimora, in cui resterete per sempre. La ricompensa menzionata è il grande trionfo senza pari.
Ang tubo ng pangangalakal na ito ay na magpatawad si Allāh sa inyo sa mga pagkakasala ninyo at magpapasok Siya sa inyo sa mga Hardin na dumadaloy ang mga ilog mula sa ilalim ng mga palasyo ng mga ito at mga punong-kahoy ng mga ito at magpapasok Siya sa inyo sa mga tahanang kaaya-aya sa mga Hardin ng Pamamalagi na walang paglipat palayo sa mga ito. Ang ganting nabanggit na iyon ay ang pagkatamong sukdulan na walang pumapantay na anumang pagkatamo.
El beneficio de este negocio es que Al-lah perdonará sus pecados y los ingresará en jardines con palacios y árboles bajo los cuales fluyen ríos, y los hará habitar en agradables moradas en jardines donde permanecerán por toda la eternidad. Esa recompensa es el éxito supremo al que ningún otro éxito puede igualar.
Adapun keuntungan dari perniagaan ini adalah Allah mengampuni dosa-dosa kalian dan memasukkan kalian ke dalam surga yang sungai-sungai mengalir di bawah istana-istana dan pepohonannya serta memasukkan kalian ke tempat tinggal yang baik di dalam surga-surga sebagai tempat menetap yang tidak akan pernah ditinggalkan. Balasan yang disebutkan itu adalah kemenangan besar yang tidak ada kemenangan lain yang menyerupainya.
The profit of this trade is that Allah will forgive your sins and enter you into gardens under the palaces and trees of which rivers flow and He will enter you into pleasant homes in gardens of permanence from which you will not be transferred. That mentioned recompense is the supreme success to which no other success can come close.
İşte bu ticaretin kazancı şudur: Yüce Allah'ın sizin günahlarınızı bağışlaması, sizi sarayları ve ağaçları altından ırmaklar akan cennetlere, kendisinden başka bir yere taşınmanın olmadığı cennetlerdeki güzel meskenlere koymasıdır. Zikredilen bu kazanç, hiçbir kazancın kendisine yaklaşamayacağı büyük bir kazançtır.
وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا ۖ نَصْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّـهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ (And [ He will give you ] another thing that you love: Help from Allah, and a victory, near at hand ...61:13) This verse adds that the blessings of this trade are not restricted to the Hereafter. There is one blessing that will be granted right here in this world, which is the Divine help and an imminent victory, that is, conquests of enemy territories. If the word qarib (near) is taken as the opposite of Hereafter, it would include all later Islamic conquests of Arab and non-Arab territories. And if the word qarib (near) is taken in its normal sense, it would, in the first instance, apply to the conquest of Khaibar, and in the second instance it would apply to the Conquest of Makkah. This 'near victory' is referred to as تُحِبُّونَهَا "that you love". It implies that this worldly blessing is dear to man, because he is by nature haste-prone as the Qur'an says وَكَانَ الْإِنسَانُ عَجُولًا "...and man is prone to haste. [ 17:11] This, however, does not imply that the blessings of the Hereafter are not dear to him. It simply means that the love of seeking the blessings of the Hereafter is quite obvious, but he naturally would love to have the blessings of this world as well. They too will be granted to him.
Part of the profit of this trade is another feature that you love, which is immediate in this world, that Allah will assist you against your enemy, and He will give you an imminent victory which is the conquest of Makkah and other places. O Messengers, tell the believers about the victory that will please them in the world and the attainment of Paradise in the afterlife.
Ova trgovina vam donosi i drugu korist koju volite na ovome svijetu, a ona je Allahova pomoć protiv vašeg neprijatelja i pobjeda koja će se uskoro desiti, a radi se o oslobođenju Mekke. O Poslaniče, prenesi vjernicima ono što će ih obradovati i upoznaj ih sa pobjedom na ovome svijetu, te uspjehom na onome.
Bu kazançlı ticaretin sizin seveceğiniz başka bir özelliği daha vardır ki, dünyada ertelenmeden verilir. Bu özellik (kazanç), düşmanlarınıza karşı Allah'ın size yardım etmesi ve size Mekke'nin ve diğer yerlerin fethi gibi yakın bir fethi vermesidir. -Ey Peygamber!- Müminlere, dünyada kendilerini sevindirecek yardımı, ahirette ise elde edecekleri cenneti haber ver.
Di antara keuntungan lain perdagangan ini adalah suatu pemberian yang pasti kalian menyukainya, dan itu disegerakan di dunia, yaitu Allah menolong kalian atas musuh-musuh kalian dan kemenangan yang dekat yang diberikan kepada kalian, yaitu pembebasan Kota Makkah dan lainnya. Kabarkan -wahai Rasul- kepada orang-orang yang beriman apa yang menggembirakan mereka berupa kemenangan di dunia dan kemenangan dengan surga di akhirat.
Un autre bénéfice de ce commerce est un bienfait hâté dans ce bas monde et que vous appréciez: Allah vous secourra contre votre ennemi et vous accordera une victoire prochaine, qui est la Prise de la Mecque, et d’autres victoires encore. Ô Messager, annonce aux croyants les nouvelles réjouissantes de la victoire dans le bas monde et de l’entrée au Paradis dans l’au-delà.
Otro de los beneficios de este negocio es algo que aman, y que es inmediato en este mundo, y es que Al-lah los ayudará contra su enemigo, les dará una victoria inminente que es la liberación de La Meca. ¡Mensajero! Habla a los creyentes acerca de la victoria que les complacerá en este mundo y el Paraíso que recibirán en el Más Allá.
E tra i profitti di questo commercio vi è un'altra cosa che amate, e che vi viene anticipata in vita, ovvero che Allāh vi sostenga contro il vostro nemico, e una prossima vittoria: la conquista della Mekkah e altro. E informa, o Messaggero, i credenti del sostegno in vita e del trionfo del Paradiso, nell'Aldilà, di cui sono compiaciuti.
Kabilang sa tubo sa pangangalakal na ito ay isa pang katangiang iibigin ninyo. Ito ay madalian sa Mundo: na mag-adya sa inyo si Allāh laban sa mga kaaway ninyo at isang pagsakop na malapit na isasagawa Niya para sa inyo, ang pagsakop sa Makkah at iba pa roon. Magpabatid ka, O Sugo, sa mga mananampalataya ng magpapagalak sa kanila na pag-aadya sa Mundo at pagtamo ng paraiso sa Kabilang-buhay.
Một lợi nhuận khác của cuộc đổi chác này khiến các ngươi sẽ rất thích nó, đó là TA (Allah) sẽ giúp các ngươi chiến thắng kẻ thù của các ngươi và một sự chinh phục gần kề sắp đạt được, đó là cuộc chinh phục Makkah. Do đó, Ngươi - hỡi Thiên Sứ - hãy báo tin vui cho những người có đức tin về sự phù hộ và cuộc thắng lợi trên thế gian và thắng lợi Thiên Đàng ở Đời Sau.
¡Ustedes que tienen fe en Al-lah y que actúan conforme a lo que Él les ha ordenado! Apoyen la religión de Al-lah, la cual fue traída por Su mensajero, al igual que los discípulos prestaron su ayuda cuando Jesús u les dijo: “¿Quiénes serán mis ayudantes en la causa de Al-lah?” Ellos le respondieron de inmediato: “Nosotros somos los ayudantes de Al-lah”. Un grupo de los hijos de Israel creyó en Jesús u, pero otro grupo no creyó. Entonces, dimos Nuestro apoyo a aquellos que creían en Jesús contra aquellos que lo rechazaron, y fueron los vencedores.
Ô vous qui croyez en Allah et œuvrez selon ce qu’Il a prescrit, soyez les alliés d’Allah en faisant triompher Sa religion apportée par votre Messager tout comme le furent les apôtres qui, lorsque Jésus leur demanda « Qui sont mes alliés pour la cause d’Allah? », s’empressèrent de répondre «Nous sommes les alliés d’Allah». Une partie des Israélites crut ainsi en Jésus et une autre mécrut en Lui. Nous soutînmes donc les premiers contre les seconds et ils eurent le dessus sur eux.
O voi che credete in Allāh e che vi attenete a ciò che ha prescritto, siate i sostenitori di Allāh, sostenendo la Sua religione, che il vostro Messaggero vi ha comunicato, come il sostegno degli apostoli, quando ‘Īsā, pace a lui, disse loro: "Chi mi sosterrà nella causa di Allāh?" Risposero immediatamente: "Noi siamo i sostenitori di Allāh". Una parte dei Figli di Isrāīl credette in ‘Īsā, pace a lui, mentre un'altra parte rinnegò. Sostenemmo coloro che credettero a ‘Īsā contro coloro che lo rinnegarono, e così li sconfissero.
Wahai orang-orang yang beriman kepada Allah dan menjalankan syariat-Nya! Jadilah penolong-penolong Allah dengan pertolongan kalian kepada agama-Nya yang dibawa oleh Rasul kalian, seperti pertolongan kaum Hawari tatkala Isa berkata kepada mereka, “Siapakah yang mau menjadi penolong-penolongku kepada Allah?” Maka, mereka menjawab dengan segera, “Kami adalah penolong Allah.” Lalu sebagian dari Bani Israil beriman kepada Isa -'alaihissalām- dan sebagian yang lain kafir terhadapnya, maka Kami berikan kekuatan kepada orang-orang yang beriman kepada Isa -'alaihissalām- atas orang-orang yang kafir kepadanya, sehingga mereka menang atas orang-orang yang kafir.
Ey Allah'a iman edip, Allah'ın kendilerine gönderdiği din ile amel edenler! Tıpkı İsa -aleyhisselam- Havariler'e: "Allah’ın dini için benim yardımcılarım kimdir?" dediğinde; ona yardım eden Havariler'in yardım ettiği gibi sizler de resulünüzün size getirmiş olduğu Allah'ın dininin yardımcıları olun. Havariler, İsa -aleyhisselam-'a: "Allah'ın dininin yardımcıları biziz." demişlerdi. İsrailoğulları'ndan bir zümre İsa -aleyhisselam-'a iman etmiş bir diğer zümre ise inkâr etmişti. Bunun üzerine biz de İsa -aleyhisselam-'a iman edenleri düşmanlarına karşı desteklemiştik de, onlar inkâr edenlere karşı üstün gelmişlerdi.
O you who have faith in Allah, and who act on what He has ordained for you, become Allah’s helpers by helping His religion that was brought by your messenger, just as the disciples provided their help when Jesus (peace be upon him) told them: ‘Who will be my helpers to Allah?’ They replied to him at once: ‘We are Allah’s helpers.’ So a group of the Israelites believed in Jesus (peace be upon him) and another group disbelieved. Then We supported those who believed in Jesus against those who rejected him and they became dominant.
O mga sumampalataya kay Allāh at gumawa sa isinabatas Niya para sa kanila, maging mga tagapag-adya ni Allāh kayo sa pamamagitan ng pag-aadya ninyo sa Relihiyon Niyang inihatid ng Sugo ninyo, tulad ng pag-aadya ng mga disipulo noong nagsabi sa kanila si Jesus – sumakanya ang pagbati ng kapayapaan: "Sino ang mga tagapag-adya ko kay Allāh?" Kaya sumagot sila sa kanya, na mga nagdadali-dali: "Kami ay ang mga tagapag-adya ni Allāh." Kaya may sumampalataya kay Jesus – sumakanya ang pagbati ng kapayapaan – na isang grupo mula sa mga anak ni Israel at may tumangging sumampalataya na iba pang grupo. Kaya umalalay Kami sa mga sumampalataya kay Jesus laban sa mga tumangging sumampalataya sa kanya, kaya sila ay naging mga nakadadaig laban sa mga iyon.
O vi koji vjerujete u Allaha i radite po Njegovim zakonima, budite pomagači Allahovi, pomažući Njegovu vjeru koju je dostavio vaš Poslanik, kao što je rekao Isa, sin Merjemin, prisnim sljedbenicima: "Ko su moji pomagači u pozivanju Allahu?" Oni su odmah odgovorili: "Mi smo Allahovi pomagači!" Onda je jedna skupina iz potomaka lsrailovih povjerovala, a druga skupina uznevjerovala! Pa smo one koji su vjerovali u Isaa protiv njihovih neprijatelja osnažili pa su postali nadmoćni i pobijedili.
کمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ مَنْ أَنصَارِي إِلَى اللَّـهِ (...just as ` Isa, son of Maryam, said to the Disciples, "Who are my supporters towards Allah?" ...[ 61:14] " The word حَوَارِيُّونَ hawariyyin is the plural of hawariyy which connotes a 'sincere friend who is free from any kind of adulteration' [ Ruh-ul-Ma’ ani, referring to Azhari ]. This is the reason why people who believed in Prophet Jesus (علیہ السلام) are called hawariyy. They were twelve in number, as is already discussed in Surah 'Al-` Imran. This verse refers to an incident of Prophet ` Isa (علیہ السلام) and urges the Muslims to gird up their loins to unselfishly help and support the religion of Allah, as when Prophet ` Isa (علیہ السلام) was hurt by the enemies, he asked his disciples مَنْ أَنصَارِي إِلَى اللَّـهِ "Who are my supporters towards Allah?"...[ 14] In other words, 'who will help and support me in propagating the religion of Allah?' Twelve people volunteered and pledged to his loyalty and helped him in preaching the religion. Following this example, the Muslims ought to help and support Allah's religion. The blessed Companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ followed this example to the fullest extent, and acted upon this command to the highest degree, so much so that the example of the Holy Prophets' Companions stands unparalleled in the history of other ummahs. They helped the Holy Prophet ﷺ and, in the process, incurred the wrath and enmity of Arab and non-Arab communities for the sake of Allah's religion. They bore their tortures and persecution. They dedicated their lives, wealth and children to the cause. Eventually, Allah granted them help and victory. He granted them triumph and mastery of the world, and the territories of the enemies fell into their hands.
Three Groups of Christians
فَآمَنَت طَّائِفَةٌ مِّن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَفَرَت طَّائِفَةٌ ۖ فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَىٰ عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا ظَاهِرِينَ (So, a group from the children of Isra'il believed, and another group disbelieved. Then We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became victorious...61:14)
Baghawi interprets this verse in the light of a narration of Sayyidna ` Abdullah Ibn ` Abbas ؓ that when Prophet ` Isa (علیہ السلام) was raised to the heaven, his followers disagreed and became three groups. A group claimed that He was Himself God who went back to the heaven. The second group claimed that He Himself was not God, but God's son. God lifted him up and salvaged him from the enemies and granted him superiority. The third group proclaimed the truth and said that he was neither god nor the son of god, but he was Allah's servant and His Messenger. Allah took him away to the heaven to protect him from the enemies, and to raise his status. These people were the true believers. Different sectors of the general public attached themselves to each one of these groups. The groups clashed with one another. The two of the non-believing groups overpowered the third group, which was a group of true believers. Eventually, Allah raised the Final Messenger of Allah ﷺ who supported the group of the true believers. This group thus dominated the others because of their correct belief and its solid proofs confirmed by the Qur'an. [ Mazhari ]
In this interpretation, the phrase الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا "those who believed [ 14] " would refer to the believers of the Ummah of the Prophet ` Isa (علیہ السلام) who would triumph against the unbelievers with the help and support of the Final Messenger ﷺ . [ Mazhari ]. Some scholars hold that when Prophet Isa (علیہ السلام) was raised to the heaven, his followers were divided into two groups. One of them believed that he was God or God's son and thus they became polytheists. The other group believed that he was the servant of Allah and His Messenger, and thus they stuck to the right religion. Then there was a war between the believers and the unbelievers. Allah granted victory to the believing faction of Prophet ` Isa (علیہ السلام) against the unbelieving faction. But it is popularly understood that in the religion of Prophet ` Isa (علیہ السلام) the institution of jihad did not exist. Therefore, it is inconceivable that believers would have waged a war. [ Ruh-ul-Ma’ ani ]. However, it is possible that the unbelieving Christians might have started the war and the believing Christians were forced to defend themselves. This will not fall under the category of war.
Al-hamdulillah
The Commentary on
Surah As-Saff
Ends here
Muslims are always the Natural Supporters of Islam
Allah the Exalted orders His faithful servants to be Allah's supporters at all times, in all their statements and actions, sacrificing their selves and wealth. Allah orders them to accept His and His Messenger's call, just as the disciples said to Prophet `Isa when he said,
مَنْ أَنصَارِى إِلَى اللَّهِ
(Who are my helpers (in the cause) of Allah) meaning, `who will support me in conveying the Message of Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored'
قَالَ الْحَوَرِيُّونَ
(The Hawariyyun said:) in reference to the followers of `Isa, peace be upon him,
نَحْنُ أَنصَـرُ اللَّهِ
(We are Allah's helpers) meaning, `we will support you with regards to the Message you have been sent with and will help you convey it.' Whereby, `Isa sent the disciples to the various areas of Ash-Sham to call the Greeks and the Israelites to Islam. Similarly, during the days of Hajj, Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to ask,
«مَنْ رَجُلٌ يُؤْوِينِي حَتْى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي؟ فَإِنَّ قُرَيْشًا قَدْ مَنَعُونِي أَنْ أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي»
(Who will support me in conveying the Message of my Lord Verily, the Quraysh have prevented me from conveying the Message of my Lord.) Allah the Exalted and Most Honored raised Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj to support the Prophet. They were the residents of Al-Madinah who gave the pledge to him and supported him, vowing to protect him from mankind and the Jinns if he migrated to them. When he migrated to them with his Companions, they fulfilled their vow to Allah. This is the reason why Allah and His Messenger called them, Al-Ansar, the Supporters. The name became synonymous with them. May Allah be pleased with them and please them, as well.
A Group of the Children of Israel believed in `Isa and a Group of Them disbelieved
Allah said,
فَـَامَنَت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّن بَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ وَكَفَرَت طَّآئِفَةٌ
(Then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved.) When `Isa, peace be on him, conveyed the Message of his Lord to his people and the disciples supported him, a group from the Children of Israel believed. They accepted the guidance that `Isa brought to them, while another group, was led astray. This group rejected what `Isa brought them, denied his prophethood and invented terrible lies about him and his mother. They are the Jews, may Allah curse them until the Day of Judgement. Another group exaggerated over `Isa, until they elevated him to more than the level of prophethood that Allah gave him. They divided into sects and factions, some saying that `Isa was the son of Allah, while others said that he was one in a trinity, and this is why they invoke the father, the son and the holy ghost! Some of them said that `Isa was Allah, as we mentioned in the Tafsir of Surat An-Nisa'.
Allah gives Victory to the Believing Group
Allah said,
فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ
(So, We gave power to those who believed against their enemies,) vthat is, `We gave them victory over the group of Christians which defied them,'
فَأَصْبَحُواْ ظَـهِرِينَ
(and they became the victorious (uppermost).) `over the disbelieving group, when We sent Muhammad ﷺ.' Imam Abu Ja`far bin Jarir At-Tabari reported that Ibn `Abbas said, "When Allah decided to raise `Isa to heaven, `Isa went to his companions while drops of water were dripping from his head. At that time, there were twelve men at the house. `Isa said to them, `Some of you will disbelieve in me twelve times after having believed in me.' He then asked, `Who among you volunteers that he be made to resemble me and be killed instead of me; he will be with me in my place (in Paradise).' One of the youngest men present volunteered, but `Isa commanded him to sit down. `Isa repeated his statement and the young man again stood up and volunteered, and `Isa again told him to sit down. `Isa repeated the same statement and the young man volunteered. This time, `Isa said, `Then it will be you.' The appearance of `Isa was cast upon that young man, while `Isa, peace be on him, was raised to heaven through an opening in the roof of the house. The Jews came looking for `Isa and arrested the one that appeared as him, killing him by crucifixion. Some of them disbelieved in `Isa twelve times, after they had believed in him. They divided into three groups. One group, Al-Ya`qubiyyah (the Jacobites), said, `Allah remained with us as much as He willed and then ascended to heaven.' Another group, An-Nasturiyyah (the Nestorians), said, `Allah's son remained with us as much as Allah willed and He then rasied him up to heaven.' A third group said, `Allah's servant and Messenger remained with us as much as Allah willed and then Allah raised him up to Him.' The last group was the Muslim group. The two disbelieving groups collaborated against the Muslim group and annihilated it. Islam remained unjustly concealed until Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ,
فَـَامَنَت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّن بَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ وَكَفَرَت طَّآئِفَةٌ
(Then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved.) This Ayah refers to the group among the Children of Israel that disbelieved and the group that believed, during the time of `Isa,
فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُواْ ظَـهِرِينَ
(So, We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the victorious (uppermost).) through the victory that Muhammad ﷺ gained over the religion of the disbelievers, which brought the dominance of their religion." This is the wording in his book for the Tafsir of this honorable Ayah. Similarly, An-Nasa'i collected this statement of Ibn `Abbas in his Sunan. Therefore, the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ will always be prevalent on the truth until Allah's command (the Final Hour) commences, while they are on this path. The last group of them will fight against Ad-Dajjal along with `Isa, peace be on him, according to Hadiths in the authentic collections. This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat As-Saff. All praise and thanks are due to Allah.
‘Be God’s helpers’ here means calling people to God (dawat ilal’lah). Since it is a task which is seen as desirable by God Himself and is performed by servants of God, it is, therefore, called ‘helping God’. This is an exceptional honour which is granted only to a true believer. The believer must of his own accord follow the commands of God relating to worship, morality and dealing justly with people. With this the believer proves his servitude and becomes eligible for God’s rewards. But the case of the task of spreading God’s word is different. According to the Quran, it is performed so that mankind may have no excuse or argument against God ( 4:165 ). Due to the exigency of putting man to the test, God wants this work to be given special priority. This is a divine mission which is carried out by individuals, on behalf of God, and they are, therefore, rewarded for it by God in the hereafter. What is the meaning of helping God or being the helpers of God in this verse? It means giving oneself wholeheartedly to the divine task of preaching the truth. It means joining oneself with the divine plan whole-heartedly in both word and deed, so that mankind might have no argument against God on the Day of Judgement. The noted commentator of the Quran, Ibn Kathir, explained that when Jesus asked his followers, ‘Who will help me in the task of calling people to God?’ The followers of Jesus replied, ‘We are your helpers in the mission with which you have been sent forth, and we will be your helpers in this mission.’ For this reason Jesus sent them to Syria to the Israelites and the Romans. In the same way the Prophet Muhammad used to go to people during the Hajj season and he would ask, ‘Who among you will help me so that I may convey the message of God to people, because the Quraysh are stopping me from conveying to people the message of God?’ (Tafsir ibn Kathir, vol. 4, p. 362 ). The Prophet Muhammad was undoubtedly the messenger of God to the whole of humanity. Through him God conveyed His message in the form of the Quran for all eternity. But he lived in this world for a limited period of time and now the question arises as to how, after the Prophet’s death, the prophetic responsibility had to be discharged. In his lifetime the Prophet performed this duty directly. After he had gone, this mission had to be carried forward indirectly by his followers, the Muslim ummah. It is incumbent upon the Prophet’s followers to carry out this mission from one generation to the next and, in presenting the message of Islam to people of every age and time, bring people closer to God. This issue can be further explained by a hadith, or saying of the Prophet, which Ibn Hisham has quoted in his biography of the Prophet Muhammad. In this saying, the Prophet mentions Jesus as well as himself. Ibn Hisham puts it thus on record, ‘It has been narrated to me that the Prophet Muhammad came to his Companions after the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah and said, “O people, I have been sent as a blessing for the whole of humanity. So do not differ with me in the way the disciples of Jesus differed with him.” The Companions asked, “O Prophet of God, how did the disciples of Jesus differ with him?” The Prophet replied, “Jesus called his disciples to the mission for which I am calling you.” Those disciples whom Jesus had asked to go to a nearby place made preparations for it. But those whom Jesus asked to go to a distant place became unhappy and refused to go. Afterwards, Jesus complained of this to God, so those who were not ready to go because of not knowing the language of that area, miraculously started speaking the language of the people to whom Jesus had asked them to go. Subsequently, the Prophet Muhammad sent his Companions to different kings and rulers with his message.’ Ibn Ishaaq (the Prophet’s earliest biographer) further writes that when the Prophet Muhammad came to the Companions and reminded them of their duty to spread the word of God, he said: ‘God has sent me to the entire world as a blessing, so you should carry out this responsibility on my behalf. God will show His mercy to you.’ (Sirat ibn Hisham, vol. 4, pp. 268-269). There could be no greater honour under the sun than to be engaged in a mission which is directly God’s own mission. It is like working on behalf of God Almighty. It is indeed so great an honour that no greater honour seems possible.
Này hỡi những người tin tưởng Allah và luôn chấp hành theo giáo luật của Ngài! Hãy là những người ủng hộ và giúp đỡ con đường chính nghĩa của Allah giống như điều mà Ysa (Giê-su) đã ủng hộ và giúp đỡ con đường chính nghĩa của Allah. Nabi Ysa đã bảo tông đồ của Người: Ai trong các ngươi ủng hộ Ta trong việc đến gần Allah? Họ liền nói: Chúng tôi là những người ủng hộ tôn giáo của Allah. Nhưng chỉ có một số tin tưởng còn một số khác thì không, và TA đã phù hộ và trợ giúp cho những người có đức tin nơi Allah và Thiên Sứ của Ngài, TA đã giúp họ đánh bại kẻ thù.
