Lesson
We learnt four epithets
of God Almighty in the previous lessons:
He is LORD of the
worlds. Everything of the earth and the skies gets its improvement with God’s
Support. He fulfills the necessities of every creature. He is the Beneficent
immensely. He resolves the problems of every person with His Kindness. He
removes the difficulties of all kinds.
He is the Merciful too.
The person, who acts upon His commandments and obeys the Instructions delivered
by Him, gets good retribution and after death, he will be able to find place
under the shade of His Kindness. He is Owner of the Hour of the Judgment too.
He produces the results of our deeds in this world and gives retaliation for
them. And on the Day of Resurrection, He will remit the remuneration (rewards
for good acts and punishment against the evil deeds) also.
Allah Almighty has
described the people about their duty after expressing His epithets that they
should obey and worship the only one GOD, remember Him, day and night, sleeping
and waking, sitting and standing, call Him every time, complain Him at the time
of calamity because He is Redresser of grievances, be grateful to Him during
the pleasure and ease hours, worship only Him leaving the entire liar gods.
Worship means devotion,
respect, honor, extreme humility and obedience, which are practiced for God
Almighty. As though, the mankind should continue worshiping of Allah Almighty
during his every movement. Islam explains that worship doesn’t mean only
devotion and prayer. Besides the compliment and devotion in worship, the
perfect obedience is also required and included with it compulsorily. Main aim
is that the human being should perform according to the commandments and
instructions of Allah Almighty and should not commit against His Will in any
matter.
“Thee (alone) we worship
and Thee (alone) we shall obey in future”. We admit that we shall never ascribe
any partner with Him to anyone else in this matter.
All mankind are children
of Prophet Adam (peace be upon Him). Who has the power to be called himself
“God” and compel any other to worship him? Or how can it be lawful for the
mankind that he obey someone else save God Almighty or live according to his
own will? We all are obedient of one God “Allah”. We are not ready to obey any
other opposing the commands and instructions of God Almighty.
