Commentary
Fii sabii-Lillaah – (in the
Way of Allah), it manifests that there is no particular path of Allah Almighty in
the form of any road or highway. Moreover, the path of God Almighty means such way
of life which He has fixed, for instance; to spend the wealth, to try and strive
for the Cause of God Almighty etc.
Now; the recitation
regarding circumstances and conditions begins where there is a need of
steadfastness. Every such person will face these circumstances and conditions
who is going on the straight path, justice and the truth, and inviting others
for it, because distinguishing among good and bad without calamities,
difficulties and troubles; is impossible. In the Holy Qur’an where
the philosophy of fights and killing have been described at many places, there
it has also been cleared that the war took place and the Muslims faced
difficulties; only due to the reason that; the difference between Believer and
Hypocrite may be cleared.
Second reality
is that the life of the nations is connected with the blood of the Martyrs as
crops need water and heat of the sun, like this, the independence cannot be
obtained till the time, the necks do not cut, blood of the Crusaders does not
flow, people of the nation are not killed and every body of the nation is not
ready to produce his head to be sacrificed.
When the honorable
people of the nation begin to be slain, then into the nation, passion and
tumult grows in the nation. Any other nation does not have courage to encounter
it. This passion and tumult is the real life and the great artery of the
nation. So God Almighty commands that the individuals, who will produce their
lives in His path, people of their nation can never become slaves of enemies.
Cause
of “the try and strive” (Jihad) is to be prepared to sacrifice oneself for the
security of the future generation and coming breeds. It is clear that there is
no act so much true and without affinity; which may be a collection of passions
for the security of one’s breed and service of humanity. So, it was incumbent
that its rewards would also be forever and remain always. It has been signified
in this verse that while the just can never go to end then how it may be that
the person, who sacrifices his life in His path, death may prevail over him,
that is to say; he will die never. So the Martyr remains living always.
However, we do not have the sense of his life due to our own misunderstanding.
