Commentary
In this verse, it has
been explained about those true Believers who sacrifice even their lives for
this purpose so that Allah Almighty would be pleased to them.
If the mankind think
upon this reality, he will know that the quarrels, in which he is involved, are
worthless. Narrow minded people suppose that as much they have property and
wealth, land and estate, the entire are their own. As much they will get more,
all that would be their own also. They imagine that the worldly honor and
dignity is the only object of theirs. To get these things in all respect; is the
greatest success. But they don’t see that firstly; neither they have power over
themselves, nor on their property which they have or which they get more. These
entire worldly things will remain in the world and they would have to die.
Isn’t it possible that their arms may be broken, paralyze their powers and fail
their hearts and brains? Then, why are these fights, loot and booty, extortion,
mischief and violation? Is it all for that life which has no surety? Is it for
that dignity which has no foundation?
A believer knows the
reality of these things and he understands that nothing is his own. But
everything is of the Creator Who gave him life, Who brought him up and made him
able to get benefits from the blessings of the world. So, everything is of Allah
Almighty and the aim to use everything should be to seek the Pleasure of God
Almighty. If the things bestowed by Him would be used in His path and to
achieve His Pleasure, then what shall we lose? If anything will become less
then He will give more. If our alone life, on which we have no power, would be
sacrificed for the sake of His Pleasure then what shall we lose? The life is given
by Him, which has to end; if that is sacrificed for His Cause then what will be
better prodigal than it.
Jaan dii, dii huwii
usii kii thii
Haq to yeh hai keh Haq
adaa naa huwa
Sacrificed own life,
given by Him
Right is that the
Right is not paid
He is the most Kind and Loving upon His slaves
(human beings). A mankind can’t imagine His favors, blessings and Kindness. He
cannot count His blessings. Would that the human being would have thought about
this fact, so that the gratitude and appreciation were produced into him.
