Quran Chapter 5- 104 (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-746) - درس قرآن

Come unto that which Allah has revealed

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 104. وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ قَالُوا۟ حَسْبُنَا مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَنَآ ۚ أَوَلَوْ كَانَ ءَابَآؤُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ
 
104.  And when it is said unto them: Come unto that which Allah hath revealed and unto the Messenger, they say: Enough for us is that wherein we found our fathers. What! Even though their fathers had no knowledge whatsoever, and no guidance?
104.  Wa  ‘izaa  qiila  lahum  ta-‘aalaw    ‘ilaa  maaa  ‘anza-lAllaahu  wa  ‘ilar-Rasuuli  qaaluu  hasbunaa  maa  wajad-naa  ‘alayhi  ‘aabaaa-‘anaa.  ‘Awa  law  kaana  ‘aabaaa-‘uhim  laa  ya’-lamuuna  shay-‘anw-wa  laa  Yahtaduun.

Commentary
  
In this verse, fundamental education of Islam has been described in an interesting way. Islam is desirous that every command of Allah Almighty and saying of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) should be obeyed and acted upon. If traditions, customs and ways of life of our ancestors are against Islam, those should be given up entirely, because those manners and customs have no proof of their being good, while the commands of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) have proof as well as responsibility of deliverance and success along with it too. So, this evasion that “how can we give up that tradition, wherein we found our ancestors?” is quite debauch and loosely. Its nonsense may be judged easily by using sense a little.
                                                              
It is commanded that when the people are invited towards the prescribed Way of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), they allege falsely: “Enough for us is that path, which our ancestors have left behind for us. They used to act upon these traditions and teach us the same”. In their reply, it has been described: Ask them, “Whether is it possible that your fathers may be unaware of the original knowledge or impossible? Is it not possible that they did not know the correct way? Would you like to follow them even then in such condition? It seems against the sense”.

It is visible that if any knower more than them and who is well aware of the paths, says that the path, on which they used to go forth and guided their children to follow them, at last would lead and let them fall in a dry well filled up with rubbish, and then it would not be possible to come out from it, then certainly the talk of that experienced and well acquainted person was able to be listened and believed.
