Commentary
It was told in the previous
lesson that the Jews and the Christians used to make a jest and sport of your
religion. That has been illustrated in this verse. Allah Almighty says, “When
you call to prayer (Azaan is the summons to prayers), they take it
for a jest and sport. It is clear that there is no such a thing in this Call (Azaan),
which should be made a jest. There is a declaration about the Greatness and
Magnificence of God (Allah Almighty) in this Call. It has been admitted in it
that He is One and Actual Worshiped, and Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) is His Messenger, who is the last Messenger and has brought
last “Divine Law of the Religion”, who adjudges that entire previous Messengers
and Prophets (peace be upon Them) were true and this last Divine Law is an
abstract and exact of all Divine Laws of former Messengers (peace be upon
Them).
With regard to the morality, He
{Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)} is the Spiritual
Guide of the entire good people, supports and corrects the condition of every
person, and guides others to do the same between you mutually and does not have
any evil wish for anyone. He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
instructs that you should neither involve in any quarrel, nor overpower others
for fulfilling of own wishes and nor reap advantage by harming someone else.
There is nothing in the words
of the summons to prayers (Azaan) but to admit that “God (Allah
Almighty) and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) are
Rightful”, and to invite the entire human beings towards the goodness and the
virtue. Who can be that person except a stupid and a fool, who makes a jest of
such description? These are the matters with which safety and peace can be
established in the world and the mankind can arrange his form.
If it is imagined then you will
see that there is a proclamation (in the summons to prayers) of peace and
safety for the entire human beings, and correct way of their life has been
described completely. There is an invitation in the summons to the prayer,
“Let’s stand up all collectively before One True Worshiped (God, Allah
Almighty) and move on the way explained by His Last Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him). Neither anyone is great nor little. All are
equal before Allah Almighty and only He is the Greatest. Let’s tie our hands
and bow humbly standing before Him. Beg from Him earnestly because the devotion
is only for Him. Don’t be slaves of your desires.
