Commentary
In the beginning of
previous section it was commanded that “Yaaa-‘ayyuhal-laziina
‘aa-manut-taqUllaaha haqqa tuqaa-tihii” (O ye
who believe! Observe your duty to Allah with right observance). Some such
matters were explained during the description, about which Allah Almighty commanded
that those should be performed. Moreover, some such matters were discussed
which were forbidden by Him. Then reward for the righteous people and the
punishment for the sinners was mentioned. Again, the subject is being turned
towards the beginning. That is to say; “O Muslims! Allah Almighty has declared
you as the best community out of the entire communities. It had been destined
in His knowledge that you would get excellence over all other communities. In
addition, this news was conveyed to the former Prophets (peace be upon them).
As the Last Prophet, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
is the most distinguished of the Prophets (peace be upon them), likewise his
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) Nation (Muslim Ummah) is also the most distinguished
and superior to all other communities and nations. Because this nation has been
bestowed with the noblest Messenger ((grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him), the most comprehensive and perfect religious law, and the doors of
Knowledge and Science have been opened for it.
Khayra ‘ummatin
– (best community) the Muslim Nation was given
the title of khayra ‘ummatin too besides the Moderate
Nation, the Community of Abraham and several other honorable titles.
‘Ukhrijat linnaasi – (raised up for mankind) means that this community will bring the
entire nations of the world at the door of Faith by preaching and inviting the
people. It will forbid the wrong deeds. This Muslim nation will prevent the
people from evil deeds by tongue, hand, pen and by the sword. Each type of
strife and struggle, and a Muhammadan
religious war (Jihad) is obligatory upon it.
One more characteristic of this best nation has been
described here that it believes in Allah Almighty. All good qualities, which
are found in the Muslim nation with the correct management, those did not exist
in any previous nation. The Companion Umer (May Allah be
pleased with him) said, “whoever of you wants to join this nation (the best of
nations), he should fulfill its all conditions. It means ‘Amr
bil-ma’-ruufi, (enjoining the right conduct) and Nahii ‘anil-munkar, (to
forbid the wrong), and Believe in Allah. It can happen so, at such time,
when every individual will dress himself at first because he cannot correct
others without correcting oneself.
