Commentary
It has been
described in this verse that if someone seeks any other religion except Islam,
that will not be accepted by Allah Almighty. He will be punished in this world
for such attempt as well as a loser in the Hereafter.
It is the fact that
while the religion (Islam) has been revealed in its full form, then no liar,
self-made or incomplete religion can be acceptable. If after rising the sun, someone
kindles a lamp or searches the light of the stars, then it would be stupidity
only.
The same likeness is
fit for the religion. Now the time of any local religion, creed relating to
breed and limited guidance has passed. Above all; each person should get light
only from the last and conqueror of the world Messenger-hood and guidance,
because it is the treasury of the entire illuminations, in which all the
previous lights have been inserted.
The aim from it is
to warn the Children of Israel that they should not seek as religion other than
Islam. Moreover, they should get protection in its embrace. “You are bearer of
which religion or you claim about which Scripture as yours, their principles
and formulae are exactly according to Islam and the Islam has a little
superiority over them”. The appearance of the Jewish and Christianity religions
was local. Those religions were sent only for a particular nation and time to
be adopted.
Islam is a conqueror
of the world, perfect and collective religion. It comprehends all fields of
life. Therefore, if you wish to become faithful to your religion, then you
should embrace Islam. You will get deliverance and respect because of it. If
you will remain standing opposite notwithstanding its comprehension, and seek
any other religion except Islam, then surely it will be false, misled and
self-made. Therefore, it will never be accepted. In addition, those people will
get severe punishment of their infidelity and denial. They will find themselves
among the losers on the Day of Resurrection.
This world is just
like an examination hall and the retaliation of its deeds will be given in the
Hereafter. The person who will sow the seeds of good acts with digging and
labor in this world, he will get pleasure and comfort on the Day of Judgment,
and who remained earning the worldly wealth and property due to his
perverseness and spite, he will get there obdurate loss.
Therefore, we should not remain imprudent; we should
adopt the path of goodness becoming farsighted. Otherwise, it is much difficult
to escape from the loss of the Hereafter. Farsighted is he who tries for his
better end, specifically such end which is of a permanent nature, neither that
is temporary and nor for the time being.
