Ale Imran

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Whatever program we initiate in our life, will be as per the Guidance of Allah, the Most Benevolent and the Most Merciful. 6:162)

The letter Aleef denotes Allah. لٓ - The letter Laam denotes La Ilaha Illa Huwa which means none other than Allah Who controls the whole of the universe. مٓ - The letter Meem denotes Muhammed.

3:1 Aleef Laam Meem

3:1 This Book, containing Guidance to the Mankind, has been revealed by Allah, the controller of the whole of the Universe, through Muhammed sal

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُ٢

3:2. This Book, containing the Guidance is based on the principle that the Sole Authority of the Universe is none but Allah, the everlasting Supreme Power, Controlling everything.

نَزَّلَ عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ٣

3:3. O, Reformist! It is Allah who has revealed to you these result-oriented Guidance. It contains facts of the Previous Books which people have with them like The Thora and The Bible.

مِن قَبۡلُ هُدٗى لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلۡفُرۡقَانَۗ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٞ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ٤

3:4. Those Previous revelations were also meant to guide the people on the right path and inform them about the good and evil deeds. It was also informed in those books that those who refuse to follow the Guidance of Allah, had to live in the hell of griefs and miseries. Allah’s Laws are framed in such a way that all their sinful acts will have their adverse effects.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَخۡفَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ شَيۡءٞ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ٥

3:5. These Laws are revealed by Allah, whose Supremacy is so Powerful that whatever happens in this world as well as in the universe can never escape from His knowledge.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُصَوِّرُكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِ كَيۡفَ يَشَآءُۚ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ٦

3:6. Even with regards to the creations, it is Allah who fashions you all

in your mother’s womb as per His framed Laws. He is Almighty and at the same time, His mighty functions are based on wisdom.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِنۡهُ ءَايَٰتٞ مُّحۡكَمَٰتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَٰبِهَٰتٞۖ

3:7. It is Allah Who has set the rules of law for man, just as the laws framed for the smooth functioning of the universe. They are blessed in this Scripture. The sentence structure of this Scripture, which is the most accurate guide to human life, is divided into two types. One type is that gives clear and direct meaning referred to as ‘Muhkamat Ayath’.

The basic purpose of this Scripture is to make everything clear. The second is the phrases uttered in the figurative form to give the many connotations of ‘Muthashabihat’.

فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ زَيۡغٞ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَٰبَهَ مِنۡهُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ ٱلۡفِتۡنَةِ وَٱبۡتِغَآءَ تَأۡوِيلِهِۦۖ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ تَأۡوِيلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۗ

Those who tend to deviate from Allah’s Guidance, take the parable type of verses in their literal sense, thereby confusing interpretations. Then they will give their own imaginary stories regarding such verses to the people. Allah surely knows the essence of the realities which these verses represent.

وَٱلرَّٰسِخُونَ فِي ٱلۡعِلۡمِ يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ كُلّٞ مِّنۡ عِندِ رَبِّنَاۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ٧

However, geniuses who are mature in academic wisdom will gradually discover their true status of the verses and accept to make sure that all these facts come from their Rabbu. No one but the wise will get the advice from this scripture.

AAYATHE MOHKAMATH: The verses in clear-cut terms – mostly with regard to domestic affairs will give direct meanings and there cannot be a second view about those verses. E.g. Hurrimath Alaikkum Ummahathukum. حُرِّمَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أُمَّهَٰتُكُمۡ You are not allowed to marry your mother. (4:23) The words in this verse carry direct meaning. Such verses are called Aayathe Mohkamath. Such Verses are mostly used for domestic laws and advice.

AAYATHE MUTHASHABIHATH: These verses will carry parables, examples, metaphors, etc. E.g. Kana Arshu-hoo Alal Mayi وَكَانَ عَرۡشُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡمَآءِ – literal meaning is “Allah’s kingdom is upon the water” (11:7) But the word Arsh stands to mean The Controlling System. Water represents to mean Creation and preservation of Life. So, this verse will mean: The creation and preservation of Living beings are under the control of Allah.

Secondly, certain verses will have similarities in meanings. But the man cannot understand such verses at the outset. E.g. Wash Shamsu Thajree Limusthaquar ril laha. وَٱلشَّمۡسُ تَجۡرِي لِمُسۡتَقَرّٖ لَّهَاۚ (36:38) The direct meaning is: The Sun is moving towards its goal. In the olden days, people thought that the earth is flat and the Sun was rotating around the Earth. But Scientific research showed that the Earth and other Planets are moving around the Sun. Later on, when further research was carried on, the man concluded that the Earth and other planets rotate by themselves. They also move around the Sun in their given orbits. The Sun also is rotating by itself and moving ahead towards its orbit. Now the verses which were doubtful so far became clear-cut verses nowadays. This has been mentioned in Al Qur’an in verses No. 41:53 that all the doubtful verses will become clear-cut verses when research and experiments are carried on. However, the intellect given to man will be within certain boundaries. (17:85)

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغۡ قُلُوبَنَا بَعۡدَ إِذۡ هَدَيۡتَنَا وَهَبۡ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحۡمَةًۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡوَهَّابُ٨

3:8. Those of matured academic knowledge will express their ambitions as follows: Ya Rabbana – Nourisher of the world! May our hearts not be deviated from Your Guidance after having attained thorough knowledge. Grant us the best means of development. We know that You alone are the bestower.

رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ جَامِعُ ٱلنَّاسِ لِيَوۡمٖ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُخۡلِفُ ٱلۡمِيعَادَ٩

3:9. We are aware of the fact that there are differences of opinion among people belonging to various communities. But we realize that a day will come when all of us come together and live unitedly by following Your Guidance. We also know that You never fail to fulfill Your Promises.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَن تُغۡنِيَ عَنۡهُمۡ أَمۡوَٰلُهُمۡ وَلَآ أَوۡلَٰدُهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡ‍ٔٗاۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ وَقُودُ ٱلنَّارِ١٠

3:10. Verily those who defy Your Guidance will never prosper in their life and not even their offspring could find any way to lead a peaceful life. Their end will be grief-stricken and miserable like hell.

كَدَأۡبِ ءَالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ كَذَّبُواْ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِنَا فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ١١

3:11. The very history of Pharaoh will prove these facts. The followers of Pharaoh and people before them who rejected these Laws suffered grievously. You can realize that Allah’s Laws never fail to give evil impacts to all of those who indulge in misdeeds.

قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَتُغۡلَبُونَ وَتُحۡشَرُونَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمِهَادُ١٢

3:12. O, Reformist! Inform those who oppose Our Guidance that they will have to undergo severe punishment and will be driven to the hell of unbearable grief.

قَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ ءَايَةٞ فِي فِئَتَيۡنِ ٱلۡتَقَتَاۖ فِئَةٞ تُقَٰتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَأُخۡرَىٰ كَافِرَةٞ يَرَوۡنَهُم مِّثۡلَيۡهِمۡ رَأۡيَ ٱلۡعَيۡنِۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُؤَيِّدُ بِنَصۡرِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةٗ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرِ١٣

3:13. The proof before you for the above facts of sufferings are evident in the Battle of Badr during a confrontation between two forces – One fighting favoring Allah’s Regime and the other opposing it. The opposing forces were larger than the forces who followed Allah’s Guidance. Those who followed the Guidance were strengthened by their confidence that the enemy was only twice their number and would win the war. As such, they achieved success by following His Laws. This incident will illustrate the truth to those who apply their mind and think about it.

زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلۡبَنِينَ وَٱلۡقَنَٰطِيرِ ٱلۡمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلۡفِضَّةِ وَٱلۡخَيۡلِ ٱلۡمُسَوَّمَةِ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ وَٱلۡحَرۡثِۗ ذَٰلِكَ مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسۡنُ ٱلۡمَ‍َٔابِ١٤

3:14. You have to know the reason behind the confrontation between two forces. In general, man will be attracted towards acquiring wealth. His objective will be timely pleasure derived from his wife, children, ornaments made out of gold and silver, well-trained horses, agricultural land, etc. There is no doubt that they all adorn one’s life. But those things alone should not be the ultimate goal of his life. The Guidance pave the way for a higher goal for which the followers are prepared to sacrifice their lives.

۞قُلۡ أَؤُنَبِّئُكُم بِخَيۡرٖ مِّن ذَٰلِكُمۡۖ لِلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَأَزۡوَٰجٞ مُّطَهَّرَةٞ وَرِضۡوَٰنٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ١٥

3:15. Let us inform you of the higher goal of your life than the present lifestyle. These will be achieved by those who adhere to the Laws of Allah. They will receive blessings from Allah in the form of evergreen gardens overflowing with streams, comfortable dwellings, like-minded companions. This assurance is from Allah who is fully aware of thoughts running in the minds of His people.

ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ١٦

3:16. Those who pursue the guidance of Rabbu with the goal of their life say, “Ya Rabbana – The Nourisher of the world! Protect us from the influences of those who act against this social system. May it save us from the disasters that result from it and lead us to strive for social betterment.”

ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ وَٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ وَٱلۡقَٰنِتِينَ وَٱلۡمُنفِقِينَ وَٱلۡمُسۡتَغۡفِرِينَ بِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ١٧

3:17. These are the follower of the Guidance of Allah who work tirelessly day and night in their ideals. Those who formalize the Guidance of Allah and make it true. Those who always follow the Guidance of Allah. Those who use the surplus wealth earned from their labor for the betterment of society. They are the ones who seek protection from the machinations of the enemy.

But those who aim to amass wealth to live in luxury will oppose it. These are the things that lead to conflicts in society. This chapter begins with the premise that all universes are bound and function by Allah, the One and Only.

شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ

3:18. Thus, the activities of the universes and the Malaika, the universal energy of nature which have been created by Allah to keep them active, are witnesses to the infinite power of Allah. All of them function in a uniform and beautiful manner under the command of Allah.

وَأُوْلُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ قَآئِمَۢا بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۚ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ١٨

With the formation of a balanced social structure under the guidance of Allah, the educated geniuses also become witnesses to the Supremacy of Allah. All these testimonies are meant to confirm that there is no alternative to the guidance of Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

The name given by Allah to such a system is "Islam", the way for a peaceful life. This is the only masterpiece of human life.

إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمُۗ

3:19. The purpose of the Guidance of Islam, as Allah says, is to create such a great society where everyone lives peacefully. Announcing such guidance is nothing new. All the Reformists, who preceded it led the people in the same way.

وَمَا ٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَهُمۡۗ وَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ١٩

But later on, those who followed the Reformists, after his demise differed due to rivalry, jealousy, and lust among themselves. They received rewards according to their deeds, according to the Law of “Consequences of human activities” prescribed by Allah. This is the true history that has been going on among human beings for a long time.

فَإِنۡ حَآجُّوكَ فَقُلۡ أَسۡلَمۡتُ وَجۡهِيَ لِلَّهِ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَنِۗ وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡأُمِّيِّ‍ۧنَ ءَأَسۡلَمۡتُمۡۚ

3:20. This is the situation of those who now oppose such a pure way of life for social harmony and the one who implements the Guidance to achieve it! If they still argue about these Guidance, tell them, “I am completely obedient to the commands of Allah," and "Those who follow me also do the same.” Ask the people of the Previous Scripture and those who are not so far guided, "Are you obedient to the command of Allah?"

فَإِنۡ أَسۡلَمُواْ فَقَدِ ٱهۡتَدَواْۖ وَّإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡبَلَٰغُۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ٢٠

If they are submissive, they will surely be guided. Conversely, if they ignore them, you are not responsible for the consequences. It is only your job to inform what is the right path and what is wrong. Accepting and rejecting them is a matter of their will. So, whatever the case may be, the law of "consequences of human deeds" prescribed by Allah for every action will continue to be observed.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذينَ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ‍ۧنَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقّٖ وَيَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ٢١

3:21. By refusing to accept the Guidance of Allah, some are obstructing

the functioning of the Regime of Allah. They are also conspiring to endanger the lives of reformists and those activists who dedicate themselves to social work. Be warned that such people will receive severe punishment. All their plots will not work. Warn them that in the end, they would face great destruction.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ٢٢

3:22. Their good deeds done so far will not bring any benefit in their present life and their future eternal life. Their misdeeds will also be the cause of their destruction. In the end, there will be no one to help them.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ نَصِيبٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ يُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَىٰ كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّىٰ فَرِيقٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ وَهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ٢٣

3:23. Did you notice those who were given a portion of the Scripture (Guideline texts)? They were commanded to settle their disputes according to the guidance of Allah. But the clergy within their community ignored it and led the people in the wrong directions.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ لَن تَمَسَّنَا ٱلنَّارُ إِلَّآ أَيَّامٗا مَّعۡدُودَٰتٖۖ وَغَرَّهُمۡ فِي دِينِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ٢٤

3:24. How did they get the courage to act against the Guidance of Allah? It is simply because of the opinion that they would be in hell only for a certain period. After that, they would go to heaven. (Ref. 2:80) Whatever they falsely imagine, will ultimately lead to disappointment.

فَكَيۡفَ إِذَا جَمَعۡنَٰهُمۡ لِيَوۡمٖ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ وَوُفِّيَتۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ٢٥

3:25. Whatever they do will never escape the clutches of the law of “consequences of human acts” prescribed by Allah. At the same time, no one will face injustice. That is, everyone will reap the benefits of his deeds - good or bad. None of that will be wronged. No one can interfere in this Law.

قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ مَٰلِكَ ٱلۡمُلۡكِ تُؤۡتِي ٱلۡمُلۡكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَنزِعُ ٱلۡمُلۡكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ

3:26. O, Allah! All the creations in the universes operate under Your domination. As well as in human life, they take place according to the Rules which You have set. Accordingly, man's power to rule (see 24:55, 21:105) and his loss of rule (see 8:53,13:11) depend on man’s ability and merit

وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُۖ بِيَدِكَ ٱلۡخَيۡرُۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ٢٦

O, Allah! All of these functions are carried on according to the Laws which You have laid down. And the dignified life available to man and the degraded life, occur on the same basis. All these are available according to the merits, thoughts, and actions of man. But what is available from Your side are Guidance for good. Surely, you are powerful in all things.” Inform the people about these facts.

تُولِجُ ٱلَّيۡلَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ وَتُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِي ٱلَّيۡلِۖ وَتُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَيَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ وَتُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَيِّۖ وَتَرۡزُقُ مَن تَشَآءُ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٖ٢٧

3:27. The system of the universe is proof that everything functions as per the established Laws of Allah. The night when darkness evades, the day shines with light, the day when darkness envelops, everything becomes dark. In the same way living beings get life from dead status and dead ones get life according to the Laws prescribed by Allah. With these rules, He makes multiple livelihoods available to those who work with their full talents.

لَّا يَتَّخِذِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَۖ وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَيۡسَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ فِي شَيۡءٍ إِلَّآ أَن تَتَّقُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ تُقَىٰةٗۗ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسَهُۥۗ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ٢٨

3:28. Those who seek Allah’s Guidance and strive to create a better society should not make friends with the enemies of that organization. To have such a relationship with them would confuse the relationship with those who work for social harmony. It is natural to feel comfortable with them and live with them. Otherwise, you need to focus on the defensive matter and act with caution. We should follow the Guidance of Allah and strive to create a superior society. This is your ultimate goal.

قُلۡ إِن تُخۡفُواْ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمۡ أَوۡ تُبۡدُوهُ يَعۡلَمۡهُ ٱللَّهُۗ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ٢٩

3:29. Those who want to have a relationship with them beyond this, let them know one thing well. Whether they are indirectly related to them or kept open, both are equal to Allah, nothing can be hidden from Allah. Not only that which you do, but everything that happens in the universe and the earth can never go beyond His knowledge. Because everything which He created is under the control of His Pre-Determined Rules.

يَوۡمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ مِنۡ خَيۡرٖ مُّحۡضَرٗا وَمَا عَمِلَتۡ مِن سُوٓءٖ تَوَدُّ لَوۡ أَنَّ بَيۡنَهَا وَبَيۡنَهُۥٓ أَمَدَۢا بَعِيدٗاۗ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسَهُۥۗ وَٱللَّهُ رَءُوفُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ٣٠

3:30. Therefore, according to the Rules of Allah, he will reap the rewards of his good deeds or bad deeds in due course. Even if he wants thousand times that the consequences of his evil deeds should not harm him, it will never happen. Because the practical legal schemes established by Allah are not subject to anyone’s wishes. This warning to the people is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

قُلۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِي يُحۡبِبۡكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ ذُنُوبَكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ٣١

3:31. O, Reformist! Inform the people, “If you want to continue your relationship with Allah, then follow the Guidance of Allah. And abide by the laws of the land (By-Laws) which I make on that basis. Only then, you will find yourself in contact with Allah. Of course, this Regime is graciously set up with everyone's safe life in mind.”

قُلۡ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ٣٢

3:32. So follow the guidance of Allah. And comply with the applicable laws of the Constitution. Otherwise, you will be added to the list of rejectors who ignore any of these issues. So, Allah does not love those who act against the constitutional Laws and by-laws enacted according to the Guidance of Allah.

۞إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصۡطَفَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ وَنُوحٗا وَءَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَءَالَ عِمۡرَٰنَ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ٣٣

3:33. Thus, on the list of ‘Great Achievers’ were the early civilized way of human life - followed by the descendants of Nooh Nabi, Ibrahim Nabi, and descendants Moosa Nabi, Haroon Nabi, and the great family of Imran - who established beautiful regime and lived better than all the other communities that lived at that time.

ذُرِّيَّةَۢ بَعۡضُهَا مِنۢ بَعۡضٖۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ٣٤

3:34. They were all descendants of one another. They were the ones who lived according to the Guidance of Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

The Life-history of Easa Nabi finally comes in the series of Reformists, who descended from the Bani Israel community. Jews and Christians have created and spread among the people many stories based on their whims and fancies about his birth and death. In it, they are saying various things about his life. They did not leave his mother either. When you look at all those myths, it does not appear that he made any reforms according to the commandments of Allah. He is something of a celestial angel. He is portrayed as having taught spiritual lessons. So, listen to what Allah says to dispel misconceptions about him. Thus begins his biography.

إِذۡ قَالَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُ عِمۡرَٰنَ رَبِّ إِنِّي نَذَرۡتُ لَكَ مَا فِي بَطۡنِي مُحَرَّرٗا فَتَقَبَّلۡ مِنِّيٓۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ٣٥

3:35. One lady from Imran's descendants was determined to sacrifice her unborn child from worldly life and dedicate the child entirely to the Ashram in the way of Allah.

That is to say, she intended to leave her child at an early age in the Ashram (Altar) of Haikal, which at that time functioned as a monastery for monks. She also prayed to Allah to accept her prayer and said, “Ya Rabbi – Nourisher of the world! Surely You hear and know whatever happens in the world.”

فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتۡهَا قَالَتۡ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَضَعۡتُهَآ أُنثَىٰ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا وَضَعَتۡ

3:36. She thought that the child she would give birth to would be a boy and would serve as a servant of the Ashram for his entire life. But she had a baby girl. Allah knows about the child born to her and how the child will grow up and have her abilities.

وَلَيۡسَ ٱلذَّكَرُ كَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۖ وَإِنِّي سَمَّيۡتُهَا مَرۡيَمَ وَإِنِّيٓ أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ٣٦

Allah also knows that the child will not be an ordinary woman like others. But she did not know about the child’s future. She told me that she had named her child Maryam and that she was committed to doing services in the ashram. She also prayed to Allah to protect her and her children, when she gets married, from the misery of the wicked people

فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٖ وَأَنۢبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنٗا وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّاۖ

3:37. As per her request, the young girl Maryam was beautifully consecrated to the Ashram. And Zakariah Nabi, the Reformist at that time, accepted the responsibility of guardianship for her.

كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيۡهَا زَكَرِيَّا ٱلۡمِحۡرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزۡقٗاۖ قَالَ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ أَنَّىٰ لَكِ هَٰذَاۖ قَالَتۡ هُوَ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرۡزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٍ٣٧

Whenever Zakariah Nabi went to the Ashram, he would look at the food items in her room and wonder where they came from, and she would humbly answer that it came from Allah. Thus, the young girl grew up without any difficulty. Verily all facilities are made available to those who act as per the will of Allah.

That is to say, the name and fame of Maryam spread widely because, a girl from the renowned dynasty (3:33) by the name, "Ale Imran" committed to becoming ascetic. So those who came to that ashram to see her will come to the place where she was staying. At that time, it was customary to bring a variety of food items as gifts. Maryam would look at them and when asked by Zakaria where they came from, Maryam would say that they came from Allah.

هُنَالِكَ دَعَا زَكَرِيَّا رَبَّهُۥۖ قَالَ رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةٗ طَيِّبَةًۖ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ ٱلدُّعَآءِ٣٨

3:38. Zakaria Nabi had no child until then. He had a strong desire to have a child-like Maryam. So, he prayed to his Rabbu, the Nourisher, “Ya Rabbi, surely You are the Hearer of Prayers, for You have given me everything, I wished and now bestow me with a child.”

فَنَادَتۡهُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُوَ قَآئِمٞ يُصَلِّي فِي ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحۡيَىٰ مُصَدِّقَۢا بِكَلِمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَسَيِّدٗا وَحَصُورٗا وَنَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ٣٩

3:39. When Zakaria Nabi was performing his duties at his place, a Messenger called him and said to him, “Allah is going to bless you with a child. His name would be Yahya. He will be the one who affirms the principles of Allah. And he will be a dignified leader of a great nation and will be, the one who upholds morals and guides the people.”

The Reformist Zakariah was overjoyed to hear this message. However, considering his old age, he was worried about how she would have a baby at that old age. So, he prayed:

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَقَدۡ بَلَغَنِيَ ٱلۡكِبَرُ وَٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٞۖ

3:40. “Ya Rabbi, the Nourisher! I have reached old age. And my wife is also infertile. So, will I have a baby like the one whom I adopted in my care? Or will I have a child of my own?”

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱللَّهُ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ٤٠

The answer from Rabbu was, “You will get a child as per the rule that Allah has ordained for everyone to give birth to a child.”

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱجۡعَل لِّيٓ ءَايَةٗۖ قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ ثَلَٰثَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا رَمۡزٗاۗ وَٱذۡكُر رَّبَّكَ كَثِيرٗا وَسَبِّحۡ بِٱلۡعَشِيِّ وَٱلۡإِبۡكَٰرِ٤١

3:41. In this regard, when the Zakariah Nabi asked Rabbu, the Nourisher to indicate what he should do. To this, He said, “Stop teaching people for three days, and pay attention to the rules that have been laid down for the birth of that child, and make an effort to do so. And take care of other affairs from morning to evening.”

In the same way, after treating infertility in his wife, they had a baby. (See 21:90) Thus, he took good care of his child and also Maryam in the Ashram. As years rolled on, she attained puberty.

Maryam lived along with other nuns in the ashram. But slowly she came to know about the abuses of the abbots and clergies with the other nuns there. Their vision did not escape from Maryam either. Zakaria nurtured Maryam and taught the Guidance of the Torah. So, Maryam grew up to be very holy. When she found out about the abuse that was going on there, she hated it. Because according to the rules of the Monastery of Monks, there was no option for marital relations. Then where is the chance for illegal relationships? So, Maryam lived there in fear. At that time Maryam received a message from Allah through the prophet Zakaria.

وَإِذۡ قَالَتِ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصۡطَفَىٰكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَٱصۡطَفَىٰكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَآءِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ٤٢

3:42. “O, Maryam! Surely Allah will exalt you. That is, you will not fall prey to the trap of their false desires as you fear. He will keep you safe. And you are not like other ordinary women in the world. You are superior in many ways to them,” the message said.

يَٰمَرۡيَمُ ٱقۡنُتِي لِرَبِّكِ وَٱسۡجُدِي وَٱرۡكَعِي مَعَ ٱلرَّٰكِعِينَ٤٣

3:43. “O, Maryam! Be Bold. Stay away from the illegal activities that take place in the ashram. Be firm in following the Guidance of Allah. Do not be alone, but work with those who do good deeds there.”

The abbots and priests of the monastery were firm that Maryam should be freed from the guardianship of the Zakaria and that she should be placed in the charge of one of them. There was competition among them in that matter.

ذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيۡكَۚ

3:44. Maryam’s apprehensions were not baseless. The competition between them to select the person taking in-charge of her was so serious that they finally decided to throw slips containing names and select the person.

وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيۡهِمۡ إِذۡ يُلۡقُونَ أَقۡلَٰمَهُمۡ أَيُّهُمۡ يَكۡفُلُ مَرۡيَمَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيۡهِمۡ إِذۡ يَخۡتَصِمُونَ٤٤

People have forgotten all these real things that happened. Now no one knows any truth. O, Reformist! You too were not there at the time. Allah reveals to you the truth of what happened there through revelation.

Without knowing all these truths, people are telling various myths about Maryam. (See 4:156) The purpose of informing about this is to remove those baseless charges and present the truth. Historical records state that Mary then came under the care of a person named Joseph. The Bible also says that Mary was married to him.

It is the rule of the monastery that he/she should not be involved in the conjugal life even if he/she marries. But Mary noticed that the nuns in the monastery were being mistreated by the clergy and abbots, and raised the banner of war against them. So, she secretly left, fearing that her life and chastity would be in danger if the protests against her continued. (19:16)

As she left the ashram, there was great excitement among the people and they started looking for her. So, she went to Nasiriya and lived in hiding. (See 19: 16-17) One reason for this is that Maryam firmly believed that she could be holy without engaging in conjugal life anywhere in the world. The news that a son will be born to her comes from Allah at such a critical stage.

إِذۡ قَالَتِ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٖ مِّنۡهُ ٱسۡمُهُ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ وَجِيهٗا فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ٤٥

3:45. “O Maryam! Allah has sent you good news that a child is going to be born to you. The baby's name will be Messiah Easa, Ibnu Maryam. The child that would be born to you would be the most dignified in this world and the hereafter life and will be the closest human being to Rabbu.”

وَيُكَلِّمُ ٱلنَّاسَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ وَكَهۡلٗا وَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ٤٦

3:46. Further, the message said, “O Maryam! The child that would be born to you will become the best orator among the people in his boyhood and old age. He will be a brave performer with all his best abilities.”

That is, the message set out to allay Maryam's fears that giving birth to a child in violation of the rules of a nunnery would endanger the child's life. One cannot even imagine, having practiced ascetic life can engage in conjugal life. The good news of a child in such a dire situation shocked her. Her mind did not agree to accept this message. So, she,

قَالَتۡ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي وَلَدٞ وَلَمۡ يَمۡسَسۡنِي بَشَرٞۖ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ ٱللَّهُ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ٤٧

3:47. She asked in astonishment, “Ya Rabbi How can I have a baby, while no man can touch me to give birth to a child?” “And I never did anything wrong once!” (19:20) The person who brought the message said, “So shall he be born” just as “Allah has ordained for everyone to give birth to a child” (30:30) She felt compelled to take necessary steps for it. And as such the commandment was fulfilled.

Dear Intellectuals! Notice what is said to Mary is the same which was told to Zakariah Nabi. The caller explained further details about the unborn child to alleviate Mary's anxiety.

وَيُعَلِّمُهُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ٤٨

3:48. He said, “O Maryam! The baby you are going to give birth to is not normal. When the child grows up, he will learn the full wisdom of the Torah and the guidance of the Bible from Allah and become better.

وَرَسُولًا إِلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ أَنِّي قَدۡ جِئۡتُكُم بِ‍َٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ

3:49. He will come as a Reformist to the community of Bani Israel. He will say that he has brought the good news from the Nourisher to transform his community which is living as nomads into an enlightened community. And he will say to the people, “By the guidance of the Nourisher, I will revive all of you and make way for better conditions of life.

أَنِّيٓ أَخۡلُقُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطِّينِ كَهَيۡ‍َٔةِ ٱلطَّيۡرِ فَأَنفُخُ فِيهِ فَيَكُونُ طَيۡرَۢا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۖ

I will develop your intellects and capabilities which are buried in you and take you to a higher level of life like free birds flying in the sky.”

وَأُبۡرِئُ ٱلۡأَكۡمَهَ وَٱلۡأَبۡرَصَ وَأُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۖ

“I will enrich your life with your good deeds. You are living blindly without insight. So, society itself has degraded like hated leprosy. So, with Guidance from Almighty, I will bring all of you to the light of the “right way.”

وَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا تَأۡكُلُونَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ٤٩

“In short, you are being dragged into the trap of the lifeless community, the disgrace of life, by your evil deeds. I will rescue you from it and revive you. I will disclose to you the impacts of hoardings that are operating illegally and the disorders that occur in society. And you will surely get many benefits if you follow the guidance of Allah.”

وَمُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَلِأُحِلَّ لَكُم بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي حُرِّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡۚ وَجِئۡتُكُم بِ‍َٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ٥٠

3:50. He will say to the Israelites, "The Guidance which I have received by revelation is already stated in the Torah which you have. I have come to guide you by making them practical and proving them to be true. I have come to remove the unnecessary rituals that you have created by yourself. So, follow the Guidance which I have brought from Allah for your prosperous life. Also, submit to the by-laws that I create on that basis.”

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ٥١

3:51. “The social structure which I am creating is based on the principles laid down by Allah, the Creator and Sustainer of you and me. To obey His commands throughout your life. That is what will lead you all to the right path.”

O, Maryam! Are you reluctant to give birth to a child who is going to possess such high qualities and ambitions? The one who brought the message of Allah to Maryam was to make her reject the monasticism which He had not decreed, to carry out His grand projects, and to lead domestic life according to His practical laws. (Sunnathallh). In the same way, she gave birth to a child. History also tells us that Easa Nabi had a brother and two sisters. There are also indications that Maryam was married and lived as a housewife. So, there is no room for the claim that Easa Nabi was born without a father. The names of the parents of all the Nabis are not mentioned in the Qur’an. It is also not necessary.

Easa Ibn Maryam - That is, Easa the son of Maryam, is the name given to the revolutionary woman who dissociated herself from the false doctrine of "monasticism" that existed in the world. It is not common for anyone to oppose by defending her chastity without falling victim to the abuses that took place in the name of the ashram. Although Maryam was scorned by the people of Ashram for a short time (see 4:156), over time, she became instrumental in her revolutionary work and in bringing about great reforms by teaching Easa Nabi the concepts of the Torah which she had learned from Zakaria Nabi. So, she left the mark of the greatest woman in world history (66:12). Hence Easa received the title, "Easa, son of Mary."

Accordingly, when the child was born and grew into adolescence, he received the full wisdom of the Torah (Old Testaments) and the New Testament. To mobilize the support of the people to build a society accordingly, he taught the people about the benefits of the Guidance of Allah. His teachings spread among the people. But these policies were against the political leaders there and the Jewish clergy. Opposition to this teaching started

۞فَلَمَّآ أَحَسَّ عِيسَىٰ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ قَالَ مَنۡ أَنصَارِيٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ قَالَ ٱلۡحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحۡنُ أَنصَارُ ٱللَّهِ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَٱشۡهَدۡ بِأَنَّا مُسۡلِمُونَ٥٢

3:52. He realized that most of the people in his community did not want to accept Allah’s Guidance. So, he made an announcement, "Who will help me to form the rule of Allah?" Some of those who accepted him fully joined him, saying that they would support the establishment of the rule of Allah and would fully accept the Guidance of Allah and act accordingly.

رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا بِمَآ أَنزَلۡتَ وَٱتَّبَعۡنَا ٱلرَّسُولَ فَٱكۡتُبۡنَا مَعَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ٥٣

3:53. Those who came forward promised to fully accept the laws laid down by Rabbu, their Creator and Sustainer, and to obey the commands of the Reformist, Easa Nabi who came to guide them on that basis. Those who have truly followed the way of Allah prayed to Him to include them in the list of “Great Men”.

Thus, the community was divided into two. One is those who take the rightest path for the betterment of the nation, and the other is those who oppose it. The leaders and clergy who opposed Easa Nabi carried out various conspiracies against him. They also tried to persuade him to abandon this religious propaganda (19:28-33).

وَمَكَرُواْ وَمَكَرَ ٱللَّهُۖ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡمَٰكِرِينَ٥٤

3:54. Finally, they planned to kill him. But there were many better ways in Allah's provisions to escape from it.

The enemies planned to imprison him, crucify him, and kill him brutally. It went unfulfilled. Allah revealed their plot to Easa Nabi. So, he too escaped from the plot. He emigrated and moved to another place. (23:50)

إِذۡ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَٰعِيسَىٰٓ إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ

3:55. Allah said, “O, Easa! You will not fall prey to their conspiracy theories. Your life will end according to the prescribed rules which We have set for you. You will receive Guidance from Our side, by which your position will get elevated with dignity. They are spreading all kinds of slander against you. I will get rid of them all and take you to a higher level.

وَجَاعِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوكَ فَوۡقَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَأَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَكُمۡ فِيمَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ٥٥

Those who have accepted your principles at the moment are very weak. As long as they are persistent in following you, I will make them superior in the future. So, it is useless to argue with one another about this matter now. The final result of their actions will be as per the Laws that We have set. Remember, there is no room for talk of likes and dislikes.”

فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَأُعَذِّبُهُمۡ عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗا فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ٥٦

3:56. Those who reject the Laws of Allah and live selfishly after this will eventually suffer severe torment in their present life and their future eternal life. Then there will be no one to redeem them from it.

وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَيُوَفِّيهِمۡ أُجُورَهُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ٥٧

3:57. On the contrary, the individual or the community, who have accepted the Guidance of Allah and devised and worked for the creation of social welfare schemes, will be rewarded. There will be no shortfall in it. The truth is that Allah does not love those who commit unjust acts in the world.

ذَٰلِكَ نَتۡلُوهُ عَلَيۡكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ وَٱلذِّكۡرِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ٥٨

3:58. These are the true history of Easa Nabi and the wise advice which We reveal to you.

So, Easa Nabi, like all other Nabis (5:75), was a great reformer who was born and raised in this world, received His guidance, taught them to the people, and created a great society (61:14). He then died a natural death (5: 117). All the prophets are human beings. (21: 7) So is he.

But look at Christians. They take him as the Son of Rabbu (2: 116), that he was born without a father, and that he is an angel (17:95). He is also said to be the Savior who forgives the sins of men. These are all their fiction. Easa Nabi will not accept responsibility for their claim. (5:117)

إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ ءَادَمَۖ خَلَقَهُۥ مِن تُرَابٖ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ٥٩

3:59. So far as Allah’s System is concerned, the birth and death of Easa Nabi are like any other human being. According to the Pre-Determined System, the beginning of his birth was the same as that of other human beings (see 22: 5). An order was issued to make arrangements for his birth. The order was fulfilled accordingly. (See 3:47)

ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡمُمۡتَرِينَ٦٠

3:60. This is the true history that is revealed by Allah in the case of Easa Nabi. There is no room for discussion about this anymore.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡقَصَصُ ٱلۡحَقُّۚ وَمَا مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ٦٢

3:61. Even after presenting such clear intellectual evidence before them, if they seek to dispute the matter, tell them, “I am not at all prepared to argue with you on this matter. So, you may take your dependent men, women, and children. We also invite men and women who have accepted Allah’s Guidance. Continue with all activities as you wish. We too will live according to His guidance. Let us see who is going to lose the prosperity of life in the end.”

فَمَنۡ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ فَقُلۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ نَدۡعُ أَبۡنَآءَنَا وَأَبۡنَآءَكُمۡ وَنِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَآءَكُمۡ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمۡ ثُمَّ نَبۡتَهِلۡ فَنَجۡعَل لَّعۡنَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ٦١

3:62. Make this open declaration publicly. Because the Ruling Power of the universe belongs to none other than Allah. There is no one else who can share that power. So, it is not fair to equate anyone else with Allah. And all of Allah’s plans are based on clear wisdom that transcends all. There is no room for superstitious beliefs.

فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ٦٣

3:63. If they do not stop confusing people even after this public announcement, Allah knows the truth about them. They will experience the consequences.

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ تَعَالَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ كَلِمَةٖ سَوَآءِۢ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ أَلَّا نَعۡبُدَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ وَلَا نُشۡرِكَ بِهِۦ شَيۡ‍ٔٗا وَلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعۡضُنَا بَعۡضًا أَرۡبَابٗا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۚ

3:64. So, “Do not cultivate enmity with us for unnecessary petty things. Leave them and let us work based on common agenda. That is, “We will not obey the command of anyone other than Allah. We do not consider anyone other than Allah to be an authoritative Nourisher.”

فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَقُولُواْ ٱشۡهَدُواْ بِأَنَّا مُسۡلِمُونَ٦٤

If they refuse to accept this invitation, leave them to their course. Tell them, “It is evident to you all that we are obedient to the commands of Allah only and our activities are for the common good.”

يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تُحَآجُّونَ فِيٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَتِ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةُ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلُ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦٓۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ٦٥

3:65. "O followers of Previous Guidance! “It would have been good if you are at least well-versed in historical facts. But you are unnecessarily immersed in the logic of whether Ibrahim Nabi was a Jew or Christian. How could he be a Jew or a Christian? All these divisions appeared long after his demise. And the Torah and the Bible were later blessed. You are ignorant of this too.”

هَٰٓأَنتُمۡ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ حَٰجَجۡتُمۡ فِيمَا لَكُم بِهِۦ عِلۡمٞ فَلِمَ تُحَآجُّونَ فِيمَا لَيۡسَ لَكُم بِهِۦ عِلۡمٞۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ٦٦

3:66. “You have been arguing about Ibrahim Nabi. But you do not know any details about his achievements.? How can we argue with you in such a situation? How could he be a Jew or a Christian? All these divisions appeared long after his demise. Allah has full knowledge of it. You do not have it.”

مَا كَانَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمُ يَهُودِيّٗا وَلَا نَصۡرَانِيّٗا وَلَٰكِن كَانَ حَنِيفٗا مُّسۡلِمٗا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ٦٧

3:67. Ibrahim Nabi was neither a Jew nor a Christian. These are all their imaginary stories in the logic of whether Ibrahim Nabi was a Jew or Christian. But he is the one who was completely submissive to Allah’s Commands and strived for peace and tranquility in the world. He never caused divisions in His proposed way of life. He never created a substitute for Allah.

إِنَّ أَوۡلَى ٱلنَّاسِ بِإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لَلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ وَهَٰذَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ٦٨

3:68. Only those people who value his word and follow him are the ones closest to him. This Reformist, Muhamed(sal) has now brought the same Universal System of Allah that Ibrahim had brought. So he also becomes close to him. Only those who accept and follow the Guidance of Allah will get His support and nearness of Allah.

وَدَّت طَّآئِفَةٞ مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَوۡ يُضِلُّونَكُمۡ وَمَا يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ٦٩

3:69. The clergy of the Previous Revelations are trying to mislead you too. But they cannot mislead you but by themselves. They do not understand this fact.

يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَكۡفُرُونَ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَنتُمۡ تَشۡهَدُونَ٧٠

3:70. O followers of Previous Revelations! What is the reason for you refuse to accept the Guidance of Allah? These are all facts you know from your Book. Why do you reject knowing that?

يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَلۡبِسُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّ بِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ وَتَكۡتُمُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّ وَأَنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ٧١

3:71. Why do you mingle things that are not true with the Guidance of Allah that shows the most perfect path to the better life of mankind? And why do you deliberately hide these facts?

Isn’t this a great crime? And you are distrusting the facts that can be proven at any time! Why are you doing so knowing all this? What is the purpose behind this?

وَقَالَت طَّآئِفَةٞ مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ءَامِنُواْ بِٱلَّذِيٓ أُنزِلَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَجۡهَ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱكۡفُرُوٓاْ ءَاخِرَهُۥ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ٧٢

3:72. The clergy among their community are telling their people, “Tell the believers in the morning to have accepted the Guidance that is bestowed by Allah, then confuse the Guidance with those who have accepted and announce in the evening that they will refuse to accept it. So some of them may come back with you.” This is their inner purpose.

وَلَا تُؤۡمِنُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِمَن تَبِعَ دِينَكُمۡ قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰٓ أَحَدٞ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أُوتِيتُمۡ

3:73. And these are clergies who tell their community not to accept anything other than their way of life. So, tell them, “Whatever guidance is given by Allah only can be the straight path.” And they speak deceitfully among themselves, “Will any Guidance be given to a man other than your community, as you have been given? Will their argument be superior to your theory of worship?”

أَوۡ يُحَآجُّوكُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّكُمۡۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡفَضۡلَ بِيَدِ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٞ٧٣

Their arguments run even concerning the choice of the Nabi. Tell them, “Selecting for Revelation of Guidance are all about the plans of Allah. He chooses who deserves it according to His plan. Explain to them that all of Allah's plans are based on vast wisdom.

“The purpose of Allah's guidance is to convey it to the people, to guide them, to reform them, and to create a better society. This is not an ordinary task. For that, one must be qualified in all respects such as eloquence, mental strength, wisdom, patience, and courage. It is through such a person that guidance is given by Allah. As of now, those who are qualified can bring to the people the guidance recorded in this Quran and bring about reforms as the Reformists did.”

يَخۡتَصُّ بِرَحۡمَتِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلۡفَضۡلِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ٧٤

3:74. Allah knows best who will fulfill this task best and to whom He will entrust the task of guidance.? Therefore, the one who is qualified to do so is chosen and guided by Allah. This is the great grace of Allah.

۞وَمِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مَنۡ إِن تَأۡمَنۡهُ بِقِنطَارٖ يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ إِلَيۡكَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ إِن تَأۡمَنۡهُ بِدِينَارٖ لَّا يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ إِلَيۡكَ إِلَّا مَا دُمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ قَآئِمٗاۗ

3:75. There are some of the followers of the Scriptures. Even if you hand over wealth to them, they will not misuse it. They will return it to its real owners. There are still some alternatives to this. Whatever is entrusted to them will never be returned unless the intimidator asks them to return it.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ لَيۡسَ عَلَيۡنَا فِي ٱلۡأُمِّيِّ‍ۧنَ سَبِيلٞ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ٧٥

The reason for this is not following the Scriptural instructions. They are daring to say that there is no one to punish for whatever is being stolen from the poor. The funny thing is that they come and say that Allah has permitted this. But this is false information fabricated in the name of Allah.

بَلَىٰۚ مَنۡ أَوۡفَىٰ بِعَهۡدِهِۦ وَٱتَّقَىٰ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ٧٦

3:76. That is not the fact. Allah likes only those who are afraid of adverse effects of wrongdoings, those who fulfill their promises and obligations better, and those who strictly follow Allah’s Guidance.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشۡتَرُونَ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلًا أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَا خَلَٰقَ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا يَنظُرُ إِلَيۡهِمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمۡ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ٧٧

3:77. The undertakings given to Allah have already been made clear in 2:83. Even after this, those who retreat from the promise for their benefits, will not get any benefit in their future life. There is no room for any reconsideration at the time of their grave situation and saving them from it. Their progress will be hindered as per the Pre-Determined Laws of Allah. Day by day their condition will worsen and end up in hell of destruction.

وَإِنَّ مِنۡهُمۡ لَفَرِيقٗا يَلۡوُۥنَ أَلۡسِنَتَهُم بِٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِتَحۡسَبُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ٧٨

3:78. Some of the clergies among them, by their eloquence, keep telling all those things to the people which Allah has not said, as if they were His Guidance. Thus, the rules enacted by themselves will be considered as Celestial laws in due course. Even people who do not know the truth think that those rituals are Divine commands and follow them. When someone asks the clergy about this, they boldly answer that they are all from Allah. But in truth, they are not the commands from Allah. Even after knowing this fact, they fabricate in the name of Allah.

The basic principle of the way of life is to obey only the commands of Allah. The opponent tends to destroy this very basis. That is, the power to subdue is not given to any individual. Those powers belong to the Laws of Allah.

مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُؤۡتِيَهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحُكۡمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقُولَ لِلنَّاسِ كُونُواْ عِبَادٗا لِّي مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ

3:79. So, even if one has all the scriptural wisdom, authority, and Guidance rights, he cannot tell people to obey his commandments, instead of being obedient to the Commands of Allah.

وَلَٰكِن كُونُواْ رَبَّٰنِيِّ‍ۧنَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَبِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَدۡرُسُونَ٧٩

He can only advise the people to be active in the field works in implementing the guidance given by this Scripture, to support the Regime based on it, and to be the best activists.

Dear Intellectuals! Muhammad Nabisal, the blessed Messenger of Allah, is no more with us. But we have the Scripture of Al Quran blessed by Him. Only the teachings of this book should be given to the people. It is not correct to associate other ideologies with this. (6:89)

وَلَا يَأۡمُرَكُمۡ أَن تَتَّخِذُواْ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ وَٱلنَّبِيِّ‍ۧنَ أَرۡبَابًاۗ أَيَأۡمُرُكُم بِٱلۡكُفۡرِ بَعۡدَ إِذۡ أَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ٨٠

3:80. Not only that, the Reformists will never tell the people to treat the Universal Forces (Malaika) and Reformists as their Rabbu – The Nourisher. He will not command you to immerse yourself in superstition instead of living wisely as obedient to the advice of Allah.

The process of Revelations is nothing new. It is a process that has come down from time to time. It was then customary for the Reformist to take vows to those who would lead the society towards the end of his life, instructing them to safeguard and maintain this Guidance. (33: 7)

وَإِذۡ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَٰقَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ‍ۧنَ لَمَآ ءَاتَيۡتُكُم مِّن كِتَٰبٖ وَحِكۡمَةٖ ثُمَّ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولٞ مُّصَدِّقٞ لِّمَا مَعَكُمۡ لَتُؤۡمِنُنَّ بِهِۦ وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُۥۚ

3:81. When society goes astray, Allah used to descend the Reformists to reform them as per the Laws and establish a system of Rule. At the end of their life, the Reformists used to take vows from those who follow the Scriptures to support without rivalry and jealousy, when another messenger comes to guide them and confirm this way of life.

قَالَ ءَأَقۡرَرۡتُمۡ وَأَخَذۡتُمۡ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكُمۡ إِصۡرِيۖ قَالُوٓاْ أَقۡرَرۡنَاۚ قَالَ فَٱشۡهَدُواْ وَأَنَا۠ مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ٨١

The oath was so important that The Reformists would call them all and ask them if they would keep up this promise. They will also promise to keep up its value. He would tell them that Allah is the witness to this oath. That is to say, Allah is watching over the extent to which they observe it.

Similarly, Muhammad Nabisal also took an oath from the Sahabahs to bear witness to Allah. The historical records state that when Muhammad Nabisal delivered his sermon on Hajj al-Vida, to all the Sahabas who were gathered there, he asked them, “Are you all the witnesses to the fulfillment of Allah’s guidance?” All of them replied that they were witnesses. As per the scheme of Allah, the guidance other than Al Quran will not come directly to any human being until the end of the world (33:40) (42:51) Therefore the teachings of the Quran have to be forwarded to all, for the benefit of the humanity of the world (3: 187). It is mandatory that we too should carry out the task of informing the people at large.

فَمَن تَوَلَّىٰ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ٨٢

3:82. So, even after having taken the oath, whoever transgresses, - then indeed, it would mean that they are going astray.

These are the historical facts that have been going on for a long time. The oath guidance of Allah is now perfected through this Quran (5: 3) After Muhammad Nabi, many declared themselves to be a prophet. They could not come up with any innovative policy or principles. The Reformist was commanded to follow only this Qur’an (6: 106) but the people sought to follow a different path. How can this be right?

أَفَغَيۡرَ دِينِ ٱللَّهِ يَبۡغُونَ وَلَهُۥٓ أَسۡلَمَ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ

3:83. The truth is that all creations in the universe exist only in obedience to the command of Allah. The force is designed in such a way that every action of man has to bring about desirable consequences and adverse consequences. So, when all human deeds go towards the goal of the consequences prescribed by Allah, are they looking for a Guidance other than Allah?

وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ طَوۡعٗا وَكَرۡهٗا وَإِلَيۡهِ يُرۡجَعُونَ٨٣

That is to say, the Universal forces of nature are functioning in such a way as to bring about desirable consequences for man's good deeds and undesirable consequences for evil deeds.

قُلۡ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَإِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ وَٱلۡأَسۡبَاطِ وَمَآ أُوتِيَ مُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَٱلنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمۡ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيۡنَ أَحَدٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ وَنَحۡنُ لَهُۥ مُسۡلِمُونَ٨٤

3:84. So tell them, "We accept the Guidance wholeheartedly." “The Guidance given by this Quran and those already given to many Reformists have the same basis. In particular, it is based on the Guidance bestowed on Ibrahim Nabi, Ismail Nabi, Isaac Nabi, Yaqoob Nabi, and their descendants, and Moosa Nabi and Easa Nabi (2: 136). We accept this wholeheartedly. And we do not discriminate between the Guidance that came through them and any of them in the case of the Reformists. Tell them that we are all "Muslims" who are submissive to the guidance of Allah alone and are activists who look after the welfare of the people.”

“Islam” preaches the ways of life that protect the interests of all people. Similarly, people from all walks of life in the world are being instructed to create such a system of government and make it work better.

وَمَن يَبۡتَغِ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمِ دِينٗا فَلَن يُقۡبَلَ مِنۡهُ وَهُوَ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ٨٥

3:85. If an individual or a community wants to adopt any system other than "Islam" which serves the interests of all sections of the population, it will not be approved in this world. Further, ultimately, they will be at a great loss.

كَيۡفَ يَهۡدِي ٱللَّهُ قَوۡمٗا كَفَرُواْ بَعۡدَ إِيمَٰنِهِمۡ وَشَهِدُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱلرَّسُولَ حَقّٞ وَجَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ٨٦

3:86. How can a society regain the right path, if it seeks a substitute, after establishing better governance through the Reformist according to guidance, and realizing its benefits visually? How can it become a prosperous country? The reason is that the straight path of Allah will never be available to the unjust community.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمۡ أَنَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ لَعۡنَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِينَ٨٧

3:87. Remember one thing. As a result of such tendencies, the society will lose the blessings of Allah, and the benefits available through the Universal forces and the condition of the people as a whole will deteriorate and the society itself will be subjected to humiliations. This is the reward that they would receive for misdeeds.

خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا لَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنۡهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ٨٨

3:88. This type of humiliation and misery will continue to increase day by day. These consequences of their evil deeds will come before them in due course and there will be none to redeem them from such miseries.

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصۡلَحُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٌ٨٩

3:89. Surely there are ways to recover from such a humiliating situation and tragedy. They must abandon the misguided methods which they have hitherto followed, remove the social ills according to the Laws of Allah, work diligently for the betterment of the community and welfare schemes for the betterment of the community. Only then will there be a revival in their lives according to the decree of Allah.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بَعۡدَ إِيمَٰنِهِمۡ ثُمَّ ٱزۡدَادُواْ كُفۡرٗا لَّن تُقۡبَلَ تَوۡبَتُهُمۡ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلضَّآلُّونَ٩٠

3:90. On the contrary, those who verbally ask for forgiveness and continue their sinful deeds against Allah’s guidance, will not be forgiven. So, such societies would be on the list of completely misguided ones.

Also, be informed that the opportunity to change one's mind and come to the side of the straight path is available only as long as one lives in this world. Without taking advantage of this opportunity to change,

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمۡ كُفَّارٞ فَلَن يُقۡبَلَ مِنۡ أَحَدِهِم مِّلۡءُ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَهَبٗا وَلَوِ ٱفۡتَدَىٰ بِهِۦٓۗ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ٩١

3:91. If he persists in evil deeds and dies in that state, will never get the heavenly life in the next stage of life, even if he wants a thousand times to get. If anyone wants to give away all the wealth which he has earned in the world, will not be accepted in exchange for their sins. There will be nothing but painful situations for such people. And they will not find anyone to help them recover.

Part – 4

لَن تَنَالُواْ ٱلۡبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُواْ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِن شَيۡءٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمٞ٩٢

3:92. So the question before you is to find out the way to live happily in the present and the life of eternal future. If you want to get elevation and dignity in your life, you have to come forward to donate the surplus from your beloved wealth (2: 219) for the sake of upliftment of the Future community. There is no way to get a pleasant life other than this. So, whatever you do, remember that Allah knows best.

Following this general principle, let us return to the subject of the objections of the Bani-Israel community. If the claim that the Messenger of Allah is following the Guidance as found in the previous Revelation (2: 106) is true, how he can declare the foods that are forbidden in the Torah.

۞كُلُّ ٱلطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلّٗا لِّبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ إِلَّا مَا حَرَّمَ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن تُنَزَّلَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةُۚ قُلۡ فَأۡتُواْ بِٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ فَٱتۡلُوهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ٩٣

3:93. Tell them, “The real fact is that before the Torah was given, some of the descendants of Yaqoob Nabi were turning away from certain food items by themselves. Allah did not forbid them. Some of the food items were personally excluded as punishment for the Israeli community. (6: 146) (4: 160) They cannot be permanently excluded. This fact is also mentioned in the Torah. If you are truthful, bring it up and read it. The matter will be clear.”

فَمَنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ٩٤

3:94. Be informed that even after the facts are cleared, if anyone fabricates a lie that Allah has banned some of the food items, they will be added to the list of transgressors.

قُلۡ صَدَقَ ٱللَّهُۗ فَٱتَّبِعُواْ مِلَّةَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفٗاۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ٩٥

3:95. Tell them that the message from Allah can be true. Leave unnecessary discussions and tell them to follow the Guidance which was Ibrahim Nabi’s right path too. Let me tell you that he never came up with any other means of Guidance for himself, parallel to the Guidance of Allah.

And one of their objections was about the necessity to replace the House of Common, at the Ka’ba as already existed in Baitul Muqathas as their General Secretariat. (2: 142)

إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَيۡتٖ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِي بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكٗا وَهُدٗى لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ٩٦

3:96. Let them know, of course, that the Kaaba in Mecca is the world's first established “House of Common” for the well-being of all the people of the world. The House serves as a Light House for the people of the world to address their grievances.

But they set up Baitul Muqathas as their secretariat. So let us say that we are renovating this House of Common again for the benefit of the people of the world. And the Kaaba is the headquarters of the "First House".

فِيهِ ءَايَٰتُۢ بَيِّنَٰتٞ مَّقَامُ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۖ وَمَن دَخَلَهُۥ كَانَ ءَامِنٗاۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ حِجُّ ٱلۡبَيۡتِ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَاعَ إِلَيۡهِ سَبِيلٗاۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ٩٧

3:97. Ibrahim Nabi established this House of Commons on the same basis for the protection of all the people of the world. No matter where they come from in the world, their problems should be solved and they should return home with a peaceful mind. This was the exalted position of Ibrahim Nabi’s mission and that it should be a “House” with all the necessary arrangements. So those dignitaries and office bearers will attend the meeting and study how beautiful action plans are being drawn up and implemented there for the benefit and protection of the people of the world. (22:28). Let all know that Allah is not going to be affected by changing this system.

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَكۡفُرُونَ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا تَعۡمَلُونَ٩٨

3:98. O followers of Previous Revelations! What is the reason for refusing to accept such useful legislation from Allah? Allah's Practical Law, "The Consequences of Human Action," monitors your every action. So, you can never escape the consequences of your actions.

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ تَبۡغُونَهَا عِوَجٗا وَأَنتُمۡ شُهَدَآءُۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ٩٩

3:99. If you do not want to work with Allah's welfare schemes, stay away. But is it fair to hinder the social activists who work in support of this? Even if we know that these constitutional welfare schemes, which are designed for the benefit of all sections of the people, are the most appropriate, can they confuse? Everything you do is not without the knowledge of Allah!

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِن تُطِيعُواْ فَرِيقٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يَرُدُّوكُم بَعۡدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمۡ كَٰفِرِينَ١٠٠

3:100. O Followers of Our Guidance! You must be careful about the false messages of the people of the Scriptures and go astray. Otherwise, they will mislead you too.

وَكَيۡفَ تَكۡفُرُونَ وَأَنتُمۡ تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ وَفِيكُمۡ رَسُولُهُۥ ۗوَمَن يَعۡتَصِم بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ هُدِيَ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ١٠١

3:101. O Followers of Our Guidance of Allah! How can your activities be against Our advice, while the constitutional laws applicable are proclaimed and the Reformist presiding over it is present? Remember. As long as a society adheres strictly to the Laws of Allah and the by-laws governing the state based on the Laws, it will certainly be on the right track. If either of them is not followed the community will go astray.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِۦ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ١٠٢

3:102. O followers of Allah's guidance! Fear the adverse consequences of misdeed against the command of Allah. And follow the guidance of Allah throughout your life. Even if you die, die as those who live in obedience to Rabbu's command.

وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِحَبۡلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعٗا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُواْۚ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِذۡ كُنتُمۡ أَعۡدَآءٗ

3:103. So, all of you have to work together in unity. Support the implementation of public welfare schemes brought about by the constitution / social system established on this basis. Never allow for disagreement or division.

فَأَلَّفَ بَيۡنَ قُلُوبِكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم بِنِعۡمَتِهِۦٓ إِخۡوَٰنٗا وَكُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفۡرَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنۡهَاۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ١٠٣

Here before, you were divided into many factions and were enemies with animosity towards each other. With the guidance given to you by Allah, the enmity and hostility have come to an end and brotherhood and affection have been established. (8:63) Imagine for a second, how great is the grace of Allah. Before this, you were on the edge of hell. Only Allah's guidance saved you from it! Thus, do We make clear the guidance and its benefits so that you may attain enlightenment.

وَلۡتَكُن مِّنكُمۡ أُمَّةٞ يَدۡعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَيَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ١٠٤

3:104. Thus, it is imperative to act by the guidance of the Holy Quran and a section of the community should take in-charge to invite all the people of the world towards the Guidance of Allah. Their chief task should be to make the people act according to what the Quran allows them to do, and to prevent people from doing what the Qur'an forbids. (23: 1)

Those who invite towards goodness are called the teachers or professors of the Holy Quran. They are the "Mehdis" who will be stably leading society. It is their responsibility to carry out the task of correcting people. (See 7:164) The people must understand them and act accordingly. And the judiciary and the police will take responsibility for preventing evil from taking place in society.

وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُواْ وَٱخۡتَلَفُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ١٠٥

3:105. Remember. Do not be divided like those who have divided, even after clear fool-proof guidance has come to them. This is a great crime. So, those who lead society in this way will suffer severely. That is, the disgrace and destruction of societies are caused by such divisions.

With this in mind, the government should ensure that there are no differences of opinion in the guidance taught to the people and in the textbooks taught to the children. No one will have any doubt that if a society operates based on universal law, one Government, one community, it will be a paradise-like society.

يَوۡمَ تَبۡيَضُّ وُجُوهٞ وَتَسۡوَدُّ وُجُوهٞۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡوَدَّتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ أَكَفَرۡتُم بَعۡدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمۡ فَذُوقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ١٠٦

3:106. Of the above two types, those who live together are the ones who form the beautiful social structure according to the guidance of Allah. There will be progress, happiness in their lives and they will be seen with glorious faces. Another type is those who divide themselves and live according to their desires. Any society that, after receiving guidance from Allah, will go astray without following it and their faces will be filled with fear and anxiety. This is the punishment for those who act against the advice of Allah and cause division after receiving guidance.

Just like a proverb says that the face is the index of mind, their appearance will be grief-stricken and there will be no happiness.

وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱبۡيَضَّتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ فَفِي رَحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ١٠٧

107. A community that continues to live following the guidance of Rabbu and builds a radiant life, will continue to receive His blessings. They will also get lasting happiness.

تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ نَتۡلُوهَا عَلَيۡكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلۡمٗا لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ١٠٨

3:108. These are the basic conditions of the growth and decline of communities. These are notified to you to gain clarity. So, no injustice will ever befall anyone in the world from Allah.

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرۡجَعُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ١٠٩

3:109. Everything in the universe and the earth works to fulfill the plans of Allah. Therefore, your every action will go towards the goal of "its rewards" according to the rules of law prescribed by Allah.

Allah’s commands are in effect throughout the universe. The other creations in it are naturally operating according to the command of Allah. But in the human world, it is necessary to have a federation called Jamaat to think and implement His commandments.

كُنتُمۡ خَيۡرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخۡرِجَتۡ لِلنَّاسِ تَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَتَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَتُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِۗ

3:110. This is why you, the followers of the Laws of Allah, have been selected as the best community of the world, and the responsibility of advising the world community has been entrusted to you. So, it is your main duty to outline what the Qur'an defines as good and to follow according to it and refrain from forbidden ones.

وَلَوۡ ءَامَنَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَكَانَ خَيۡرٗا لَّهُمۚ مِّنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ١١٠

Only then will you be qualified to invite all the people of the world to the side of good and to prevent evil. And that is the true purpose of having accepted Allah. If the people of the previous Scripture, who live with you accept the guidance of Allah and act accordingly, they will also get the benefits. But barring a few, most of them refuse to accept this and follow this guidance.

لَن يَضُرُّوكُمۡ إِلَّآ أَذٗىۖ وَإِن يُقَٰتِلُوكُمۡ يُوَلُّوكُمُ ٱلۡأَدۡبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنصَرُونَ١١١

3:111. Such people’s protests will only cause you a small amount of inconvenience and will not cause much harm. Maybe even if they come to fight, they will run backward. And such people will not have the support of the people.

ضُرِبَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ أَيۡنَ مَا ثُقِفُوٓاْ إِلَّا بِحَبۡلٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَحَبۡلٖ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَضُرِبَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡمَسۡكَنَةُۚ

3:112. You will see for yourself how bad their quality of life is. They will have nowhere to live in the world. They may seek refuge on the basis of religion or the basis of a compromise agreement with other communities. Otherwise, the torments will continue to follow the canon prescribed by Allah.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلۡأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقّٖۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَواْ وَّكَانُواْ يَعۡتَدُونَ١١٢

And their life will be miserable and degraded. This is because they refuse to obey the guidance of Allah and act against it, and tormented who followed them. They were so zealous and their misdeeds were so bad that they even tended to kill the Reformists.

۞لَيۡسُواْ سَوَآءٗۗ مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ أُمَّةٞ قَآئِمَةٞ يَتۡلُونَ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَهُمۡ يَسۡجُدُونَ١١٣

3:113. But this does not mean that all the followers of the Previous Guidance are like this. Some of them have the mental maturity to accept the guidance of Rabbu They always keep in mind the Guidance of Allah day and night and perform their duties as per Our Guidance.

يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَيَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَيُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ١١٤

3:114. This is the true meaning of following the right path in one's life. The main tasks of the followers are to understand the outline of the good deeds mentioned in this Quran, to invite the people to this guidance, to declare what is bad, to prevent them from doing so, and to take the lead in promoting social welfare schemes. Those who do such powerful good deeds are called "righteous" people.

وَمَا يَفۡعَلُواْ مِنۡ خَيۡرٖ فَلَن يُكۡفَرُوهُۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ١١٥

3:115. Thus, those who do good deeds, regardless of their community, would not be neglected in their good deeds. So, Allah knows best who acts as per His directions.

On the contrary, those who refuse to accept the advice of Allah and follow alternative methods will in due course become selfish. Their selfishness will be to the extent of amassing wealth for them, be it his family or his children.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَن تُغۡنِيَ عَنۡهُمۡ أَمۡوَٰلُهُمۡ وَلَآ أَوۡلَٰدُهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡ‍ٔٗاۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ١١٦

3:116. So those who act against the guidance of Allah, seek their destruction. When those destructions occur, neither their wealth nor their children can save from it. Thus, their temporary life and future stable life becomes miserable. There is no way to recover from it.

مَثَلُ مَا يُنفِقُونَ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا كَمَثَلِ رِيحٖ فِيهَا صِرٌّ أَصَابَتۡ حَرۡثَ قَوۡمٖ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فَأَهۡلَكَتۡهُۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَٰكِنۡ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ١١٧

3:117. An example of such people could be as follows: When there is a cold breeze, it is pleasant to feel. When it turns into a hurricane and strikes the crop, it gives great pains. Because no safety measure was taken to safeguard the crops from that storm. Thus, they harm their souls, and Allah does not harm anyone.

That is, without making any pre-plans, amassing and spending wealth for a luxurious life will only bring temporary pleasures. So, when there is inequality in the society and the riots turn into storms and destruction, there is no way out. Thus, they harm themselves, and Allah never harms them.

One thing is clear from this. The people of the world are not divided based on language, country, race, or color. But it is based on policy principles that happiness and animosity occur. Those who accept and act on divine guidance on one side; those who refuse to accept them and act against them - on the other side. These two cannot work together.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ بِطَانَةٗ مِّن دُونِكُمۡ لَا يَأۡلُونَكُمۡ خَبَالٗا وَدُّواْ مَا عَنِتُّمۡ قَدۡ بَدَتِ ٱلۡبَغۡضَآءُ مِنۡ أَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَمَا تُخۡفِي صُدُورُهُمۡ أَكۡبَرُۚ قَدۡ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ١١٨

3:118. Followers of guidance! Do not make your enemies allies in the regimes. Because they are very serious about harming all of you. They want you to be miserable somehow. The intense hatred they have for you is evident from their speech. What is hidden in their hearts is many times more than what is on display. This information is given to you so that you would move cautiously.

هَٰٓأَنتُمۡ أُوْلَآءِ تُحِبُّونَهُمۡ وَلَا يُحِبُّونَكُمۡ وَتُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡكِتَٰبِ كُلِّهِۦ

3:119. O Followers of guidance of Allah! Do not consider all of your opponents as your best friends. Even if you consider them friends, many of them do not consider you as friends. You wholeheartedly accept the Laws of Allah.

وَإِذَا لَقُوكُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوۡاْ عَضُّواْ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡأَنَامِلَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَيۡظِۚ قُلۡ مُوتُواْ بِغَيۡظِكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ١١٩

But when they meet you, they verbally say that they accept the Guidance. However, when they are alone, they bite their fingernails with rage over you. To that extent, they have hatred upon you. Tell them, "You all have to perish in a fit of rage." Allah knows best what one conceals and what he reveals in his heart.

إِن تَمۡسَسۡكُمۡ حَسَنَةٞ تَسُؤۡهُمۡ وَإِن تُصِبۡكُمۡ سَيِّئَةٞ يَفۡرَحُواْ بِهَاۖ وَإِن تَصۡبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ لَا يَضُرُّكُمۡ كَيۡدُهُمۡ شَيۡ‍ًٔاۗ

3:120. Do you know how their mood is? If something good happens to you, they get depressed. They are happy if something bad happens to them. Don’t care about this. You leave them in their way. Be firm in your plans for a healthy society and keep up the good work. Implement social reformation programs as per the guidance. Their conspiracies and intrigues will not last long. They can't do you much harm.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ مُحِيطٞ١٢٠

The laws that Allah has ordained, “the consequences of human deeds” surround everyone. That's how everything happens. So, their evil deeds cannot continue.

What will be the benefits, if you work united and consistent in a project? How will you lose if you disintegrate? The Uhud battlefield event is a testament to the consequences of destabilization.

وَإِذۡ غَدَوۡتَ مِنۡ أَهۡلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ مَقَٰعِدَ لِلۡقِتَالِۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ١٢١

3:121. O, Reformist! You left your house at dawn and arranged the soldiers, on the battlefield, about their duties and where they should be. But some of them had different thoughts. Allah is well aware of this matter.

إِذۡ هَمَّت طَّآئِفَتَانِ مِنكُمۡ أَن تَفۡشَلَا وَٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَاۗ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ١٢٢

3:122. When the fighting on that battlefield was fierce, a section of your troops lost courage and tried to flee. As such, the war arrangements made by Muhamed Nabi, the commander were strong enough for them. All warriors should have acted with full confidence with these ammunitions arrange as per Allah’s Guidance.

But because of the fear they had in mind, the preparations made in the battlefront stumbled upon. You could see for yourself the consequences of the DE stability. (See 3: 152 & 153)

وَلَقَدۡ نَصَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِبَدۡرٖ وَأَنتُمۡ أَذِلَّةٞۖ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ١٢٣

3:123. In the previous battle, you saw how Allah's help came, even though the armed forces were less than the opposing forces. It was only because the soldiers fully obeyed the guidance of Allah and acted under the commander of the army. In that way, they could be able to win in that battle. Follow the guidance of Allah even now. Thus, you can become thankful and faithful soldiers.

إِذۡ تَقُولُ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ أَلَن يَكۡفِيَكُمۡ أَن يُمِدَّكُمۡ رَبُّكُم بِثَلَٰثَةِ ءَالَٰفٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ مُنزَلِينَ١٢٤

3:124. During the battle of Uhud, the Commander infused the soldiers, “Is it not enough for you that Allah will help you with the strength of fortitude so that you could fight against three thousand enemies?” (There were three thousand men in the army of the enemy)” you encouraged. This message of encouragement gave them mental strength and courage in their minds. So, they fought fearlessly and won.

بَلَىٰٓۚ إِن تَصۡبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ وَيَأۡتُوكُم مِّن فَوۡرِهِمۡ هَٰذَا يُمۡدِدۡكُمۡ رَبُّكُم بِخَمۡسَةِ ءَالَٰفٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ١٢٥

3:125. Yes. Even if the opponents attack with full force, you have to courageously stand up and retaliate accordingly. Do not lose courage even if the enemy's army is five thousand. If you always follow the guidance of Allah and act with determination and firmness in your action plan, you will be able to gain strength equal to five thousand forces and win over the enemies.

وَمَا جَعَلَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بُشۡرَىٰ لَكُمۡ وَلِتَطۡمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُكُم بِهِۦۗ

3:126. The speech of Commander-in-Chief that the backing of the "angels" would be a side force was just to inspire courage and speed in the hearts of the warriors. Because this motivation and speed of action will help them to fight at full speed with the conviction that they will win.

وَمَا ٱلنَّصۡرُ إِلَّا مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ١٢٦

The only real help is through the war arrangements made as per the Directions of Allah, (See - 8:60, 9:41 & 21:80). This is the law of Allah, the Almighty, Who rules over the universe.

لِيَقۡطَعَ طَرَفٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَوۡ يَكۡبِتَهُمۡ فَيَنقَلِبُواْ خَآئِبِينَ١٢٧

3:127. The purpose of this war is to curtail the forces of opponents’ commandos who took part in the war against the regime of Allah, to capture their soldiers, and to defeat them.

The question also arises as to whether the prisoners should be sentenced or released in the case.

لَيۡسَ لَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ شَيۡءٌ أَوۡ يَتُوبَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَوۡ يُعَذِّبَهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ ظَٰلِمُونَ١٢٨

3:128. O, Reformist! In this matter, you or your dependents cannot decide individually. This is a matter for the Constitutional Law to decide. Therefore, the sentencing and release of prisoners of war will be determined by the law prescribed by Allah through the Court Martial.

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ يَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ١٢٩

3:129. All the creatures in the universe and the earth are active to fulfill the plans of Allah. In the same way, in the human world, the laws of Allah, the One and Only Rabbu operate. Therefore, the Laws of Allah are prescribed under which human society will be free from dangers and get a safe life, or will face degeneration and destruction. Of course, these guidance are given on the basis that a secured life to all sections of the population. It shows the infinite mercy of Allah.

So, do not assume that your missions are over because you have won the battle. This war is a move to overthrow the power that acts as an obstacle to the Regime functioning under the guidance of Allah. The main purpose of the Islamic rules is to ensure that your social structure is under the most appropriate agenda. (2: 217-219) Many other obstacles stand in the way of this.

One of them is collecting interest. As already explained in 2:275-279, interest is a method of making a profit with just a cash investment, without any effort. That means doubling the wealth with this. This can be profitable as far as the individual is concerned. But when we look at the economic growth of the country (National Wealth), interest will create inequality in society and hinder growth. (30:39)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَأۡكُلُواْ ٱلرِّبَوٰٓاْ أَضۡعَٰفٗا مُّضَٰعَفَةٗۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ١٣٠

3:130. O, Social Activists! Do not make it your livelihood thinking that you can double your wealth by collecting interest on cash investments. Leave this and follow the guidance of Allah. Thus, you will easily achieve the goal of success in your life.

وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِيٓ أُعِدَّتۡ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ١٣١

3:131. If you do not, you will give up working hard and become accustomed to living on others’ earnings by cash investment. This will lead to economic inequality in the country, which will become a hell of many problems.

وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ١٣٢

3:132. So, stop living according to your desires accept the guidance of Allah, and act accordingly. Also, follow the rules and regulations established by the Reformist to guide you. Thus, the human algorithm will find the right way to grow fast.

۞وَسَارِعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَغۡفِرَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرۡضُهَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ أُعِدَّتۡ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ١٣٣

3:133. Enter into action fast with full efforts to seek a secure life under the care of your Rabbu, The Nourisher, whose arrangements extend from galaxies to earth. Thus enter the paradise-like life that will result from your hard work. Such a paradise is ready for those who keep the laws of Almighty under force.

ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ فِي ٱلسَّرَّآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ وَٱلۡكَٰظِمِينَ ٱلۡغَيۡظَ وَٱلۡعَافِينَ عَنِ ٱلنَّاسِۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ١٣٤

3:134. The people of heaven will avoid enjoying the pleasures out of the earnings of others. These people will always be generous and in the interest of the common good, share in their sorrows, and work day and night for the betterment of society. For this, they will spend their earnings. When engaged in social work in this way, they act to maintain social balance, humanity, and human morality, regardless of what others may ridicule. It is only through such good deeds that one can attain the love of Allah.

وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَٰحِشَةً أَوۡ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ ذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ فَٱسۡتَغۡفَرُواْ لِذُنُوبِهِمۡ وَمَن يَغۡفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَلَمۡ يُصِرُّواْ عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلُواْ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ١٣٥

3:135. When engaged in social work in this way, sometimes knowingly or unknowingly involved in inappropriate activities and can cause harm to oneself or others. When they realize it is wrong, they regret it and leave it immediately. And they will find what is the remedy according to the law of Allah, correct themselves, and act creatively to protect themselves from evil consequences. (25:70-71) This will lead to relief from the evil consequences of wrongdoing. Because there is no other way to a secure life than this way as prescribed by Allah.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ جَزَآؤُهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ وَجَنَّٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ وَنِعۡمَ أَجۡرُ ٱلۡعَٰمِلِينَ١٣٦

3:136. Only those who repent and live in this way will have a life similar to safe heaven. With the creative good deeds done by such people, generous economic facilities will be available as a perennial river. There will also be a paradise-like life with lasting happiness. This paradise life will continue in this world and the next. Imagine for a second how beautiful it will be if you happen to live in such a pleasant atmosphere.

Thus, there have been many communities in the world for a long time that have strived hard for social harmony and some communities that lived for selfish ends. Conflicts also arose between them. Adharma does not last in this world. Whenever Adharma raised its head, it met with destruction. This has been going on for a long time.

قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ سُنَنٞ فَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ١٣٧

3:137. Thus, many societies appeared in the world. Many lifestyles appeared. Just go through the pages of human history. Or look around the world. You will understand the fact that those who acted in defiance of the guidance of Allah and against those who upheld Dharma, are doomed.

هَٰذَا بَيَانٞ لِّلنَّاسِ وَهُدٗى وَمَوۡعِظَةٞ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ١٣٨

3:138. So, this historical evidence is given to clarify the real happenings. This historical evidence is good advice for those who want to learn lessons from this and protect themselves from the ill effects of wrongdoing.

So, if you want to be elevated and valued in life, you must keep in mind the un-changeable guidance of Allah and act accordingly. If you have achieved your goal, you need to make sure that you do not become lethargic or tired. At the same time, if a difficult situation arises, do not lose the courage and sit back in frustration. You need to find out where the mistake happened and try to fix it. (See 57:22-23) Such an attitude will develop in you, only if you wholeheartedly follow the guidance of Allah.

وَلَا تَهِنُواْ وَلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَوۡنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ١٣٩

3:139. So, if you are truly a follower of the Laws of Allah, do not be discouraged or grief-struck. Only when you are firm in the task, you will reach the top position.

إِن يَمۡسَسۡكُمۡ قَرۡحٞ فَقَدۡ مَسَّ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ قَرۡحٞ مِّثۡلُهُۥۚ وَتِلۡكَ ٱلۡأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمۡ شُهَدَآءَۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ١٤٠

3:140. Remember. Taking action against injustice can sometimes be unavoidable. This can sometimes cause you injuries. The same thing will happen to the opposing team too. Records of human history bear witness to this. These will set the criterion for you to know who has accepted the guidance of Allah in the real sense and how determined they are to carry out the schemes. It also shows how much ready they are for action among you. Victory or defeat in war is natural. But the blessings of Allah can be obtained only if one acts following His guidance without being disturbed. On the contrary, Allah never loves the unjust.

وَلِيُمَحِّصَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَيَمۡحَقَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ١٤١

3:141. The purpose of these wars and conflicts is to remove the recklessness that exists among the followers of guidance and make them better activists. They also help to weaken and suppress the evil forces that act against Allah’s guidance and corrupt society.

أَمۡ حَسِبۡتُمۡ أَن تَدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَعۡلَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَٰهَدُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَيَعۡلَمَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ١٤٢

3:142. These are the basic principles for the downfall and development of societies in this world. Even after realizing this, are you immersed in the imagination that you can stay idle without any effort and attain lasting happiness and heavenly life?

To achieve a heavenly life, you must actively express your virtues, talents, and heroism. For this, research and continuous efforts should be made day and night. You may have to fight against the evil forces that are destroying society. Only then you can change your country into heavenly. Those who are willing to sacrifice their lives to establish social harmony are the ones who deserve to live meaningful lives. (2:243)

وَلَقَدۡ كُنتُمۡ تَمَنَّوۡنَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن تَلۡقَوۡهُ فَقَدۡ رَأَيۡتُمُوهُ وَأَنتُمۡ تَنظُرُونَ١٤٣

3:143. Based on these principles, you were ready to face death. Now that moment is approaching. The compulsion to fight the evil forces has come. In it, you are going to visualize your death. It will now be known who are truthful in their speech.

When it comes to war and sacrifice, there is one thing to keep in mind. The secret of your life and strength lies in the functioning of powerful governance. So, these sacrifices should not be for anyone’s benefit.

وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٞ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُۚ

3:144. Note the life of Reformist Muhammad Nabi, who is in an exalted position among you. He is an ambassador for spreading the message of revelations to the people of the world. Many Reformists have come before Him. They have done their duty better. Similarly, Muhammad Nabi has been performing his duties better.

أَفَإِيْن مَّاتَ أَوۡ قُتِلَ ٱنقَلَبۡتُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡقَٰبِكُمۡۚ وَمَن يَنقَلِبۡ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيۡهِ فَلَن يَضُرَّ ٱللَّهَ شَيۡ‍ٔٗاۗ وَسَيَجۡزِي ٱللَّهُ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ١٤٤

So, if the life of the Reformist ends or if he is killed, will you leave the Guidance he showed and go back to the old way of life? If so, the harm is not to Allah. It is a loss for those who stumble and return. So those who act with faithfulness and gratitude for the perpetuation of Allah’s regime, their efforts will never be in vain.

So, if the regime is affected by the death of an individual, it cannot be considered good governance. Such a rule cannot last in this world. This is because it is a rule prescribed by Allah that no individual can continue to live forever in this world. (3: 185).

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفۡسٍ أَن تَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ كِتَٰبٗا مُّؤَجَّلٗاۗ

3:145. So, death is something that will happen to every person according to the rule prescribed by Allah. No one can avoid it. The life span of each person is determined by the decree of Allah.

وَمَن يُرِدۡ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَا وَمَن يُرِدۡ ثَوَابَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَاۚ وَسَنَجۡزِي ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ١٤٥

Now is about the purpose of everyone’s life. There are two kinds of societies in this world. Some of them live only for the benefits of this temporary life. Another type is those who live with the benefits of this temporary life and the future everlasting benefits. So, it is Allah's law that one should get the benefits as per the lifestyle he wants to live. (See: 2:202, 17:18-20) So those who act in faithfulness and gratitude according to Allah’s guidance will reap the benefits in both lives.

And the question arises as to whether this war and the loss of life are necessary for this. On the one hand, those who create better governance for the benefit of the people of society as a whole, and on the other hand, those who oppose it with selfish motives. That is why conflicts become inevitable.

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن نَّبِيّٖ قَٰتَلَ مَعَهُۥ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٞ فَمَا وَهَنُواْ لِمَآ أَصَابَهُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُواْ وَمَا ٱسۡتَكَانُواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ١٤٦

3:146. Many Reformists who came to the world, performed their duties on such principles. Based on them, the followers fought in support of the Reformists to dispel the selfish system which the opponents had created and to suppress the powers that are indulged against Allah’s Laws. They performed despite many hardships, without losing courage, without becoming weak, and without bowing down to the enemy. Only such warriors will have the blessings of Allah forever. This determination and perseverance are the favorite attributes of Allah.

وَمَا كَانَ قَوۡلَهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا ٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسۡرَافَنَا فِيٓ أَمۡرِنَا وَثَبِّتۡ أَقۡدَامَنَا وَٱنصُرۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ١٤٧

3:147. Advancing in the war fields, "The warriors" with such high qualities, expressed their ambitions that arose in their minds, “O, Our Rabbu! Protect us from any harm due to excesses done knowingly or unknowingly in the matters in which we are engaged. May we have the determination to stand firm and act on our purpose. Help us to defeat the enemy.” They had no other purpose than this.

فَ‍َٔاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَحُسۡنَ ثَوَابِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ١٤٨

3:148. Only those activists who perform with such creative lofty intentions get the temporary pleasures and benefits of this world and the lasting pleasures of the future from Allah. A happy life will continue even after death. Thus, the Blessing of Allah is available only to those who do beautiful deeds according to the His laws.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِن تُطِيعُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَرُدُّوكُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡقَٰبِكُمۡ فَتَنقَلِبُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ١٤٩

3:149. O Followers of Our Guidance! If you reject this policy and follow the opponents who are working to change it, they will mislead you and lead you to go back to the old way of life. Thus, you will incur a great loss.

بَلِ ٱللَّهُ مَوۡلَىٰكُمۡۖ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلنَّٰصِرِينَ١٥٠

3:150. So, obey the command of Allah alone. It is the guidance of Allah to accompany, help and protect your life.

So, when a society is fully functioning according to the guidance of Allah, there will be a peaceful happy atmosphere, where there will be no fear or trouble. If you opt to change to the guidance of Allah, then humanity will degenerate and become a bad society. Injustice and wickedness will prevail there.

سَنُلۡقِي فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلرُّعۡبَ بِمَآ أَشۡرَكُواْ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗاۖ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ١٥١

3:151. If a community is indulged in activities against Allah’s guidance, there will be fear panic and restlessness. So, if one follows other methods equating to the guidance of Allah, it will be based on superstition. There will be no evidence for them. And their activities will be based on selfishness. Thus, such societies will be full of troubles and it will lead to a hell-like life. Is it good that such a catastrophe occurs?

The incident at Uhud field will be a lesson for you. You were all on the field. You were in a position to defeat the enemy by the command of Allah.

وَلَقَدۡ صَدَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَعۡدَهُۥٓ إِذۡ تَحُسُّونَهُم بِإِذۡنِهِۦۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَشِلۡتُمۡ وَتَنَٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِ وَعَصَيۡتُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ مَآ أَرَىٰكُم مَّا تُحِبُّونَۚ مِنكُم

3:152. It was the moment when the promise of Allah for success was to be fulfilled. But at that time a section of you did not stand on the brink of war and withdrew from their place (3: 122). And you have disobeyed the order of the Prophet, the leader of the army. You had something of a desire to win the war. Success was right in front of your eyes. A situation of failure has developed since then.

مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۚ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمۡ عَنۡهُمۡ لِيَبۡتَلِيَكُمۡۖ

Thus, the adverse effects caused by your mistakes are removed. So, once you have made a mistake, it is not the practical law of Allah that you should suffer forever.

وَلَقَدۡ عَفَا عَنكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ١٥٢

If one realizes the mistake, corrects it immediately and comes to the straight path, all the blessings of Allah will be available again.

۞إِذۡ تُصۡعِدُونَ وَلَا تَلۡوُۥنَ عَلَىٰٓ أَحَدٖ وَٱلرَّسُولُ يَدۡعُوكُمۡ فِيٓ أُخۡرَىٰكُمۡ فَأَثَٰبَكُمۡ غَمَّۢا بِغَمّٖ

3:153. What was the reason for the setback in the Uhud field? You ran away from the field without looking back at anyone. They did not think about the situation of the other warriors who were with you. When your commander-in-chief was calling you, you did not listen. This resulted in you incurring a huge loss. What is the lesson you learn from this?

لِّكَيۡلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمۡ وَلَا مَآ أَصَٰبَكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ١٥٣

It was made clear that even in times of emergency such as war, one should not leave the place arbitrarily in defiance of the commander's orders, and should not make any decisions on his own, but should wait until the commander-in-chief's re-order and carry out the task assigned to him. However, know that Allah knows what you do.

ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلۡغَمِّ أَمَنَةٗ نُّعَاسٗا يَغۡشَىٰ طَآئِفَةٗ مِّنكُمۡۖ وَطَآئِفَةٞ قَدۡ أَهَمَّتۡهُمۡ أَنفُسُهُمۡ يَظُنُّونَ بِٱللَّهِ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ظَنَّ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِيَّةِۖ يَقُولُونَ هَل لَّنَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِن شَيۡءٖۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ كُلَّهُۥ لِلَّهِۗ يُخۡفُونَ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِم مَّا لَا يُبۡدُونَ لَكَۖ

3:154. Later on, you accepted the call of the Reformist who presided that battle and fought back with determination. As such, the level of defeat in that battle changed and you won. The sadness and mental agony were removed and you will be able to sleep peacefully. However, this complacency and peace of mind was not available to the hypocrites who were with you. The reason was that there was still anticipation among them as was in the days of ignorance that the direct help of Allah would be coming. Thus, some of them said that they too should have the right to decide on warfare. But war is a collective decision made in the interests of the people of the world and through the system of sovereignty. This power belongs entirely to the regime that operates in the way that Allah has shown. And their speech is one thing and in their heart is different.

يَقُولُونَ لَوۡ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ شَيۡءٞ مَّا قُتِلۡنَا هَٰهُنَاۗ قُل لَّوۡ كُنتُمۡ فِي بُيُوتِكُمۡ لَبَرَزَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُتِبَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَتۡلُ إِلَىٰ مَضَاجِعِهِمۡۖ

They say that staying at home without engaging in war, would not have resulted in the loss of so many lives. Tell them, “If you had the intention to stay at home, you might have made it public. These warriors, the followers of Guidance, would not have trusted you. Even if you stay at home, will death leave you untouched? Look at the crowd of followers of guidance. As soon as the announcement of war comes, they prepare themselves for war and come to the front.

وَلِيَبۡتَلِيَ ٱللَّهُ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمۡ وَلِيُمَحِّصَ مَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ١٥٤

So, the experience of this war revealed the truth of what is lurking in the minds of anyone. The dual role of the hypocrites and the zeal of the believers shone through. Allah knows best what was in the minds of all. (See 3:166)

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوۡاْ مِنكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ إِنَّمَا ٱسۡتَزَلَّهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ بِبَعۡضِ مَا كَسَبُواْۖ وَلَقَدۡ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٞ١٥٥

3:155. When the two teams met on the battlefield, some of you started running back and leaving the battlefield in tension. This was due to some weaknesses they had. Not knowing what to do at that moment, these slides have occurred. There is forgiveness in the law for such mistakes made during wartime. We need to make sure that this does not occur again. So, Allah's guidance in matters of security is very firm.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَقَالُواْ لِإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡ إِذَا ضَرَبُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَوۡ كَانُواْ غُزّٗى لَّوۡ كَانُواْ عِندَنَا مَا مَاتُواْ وَمَا قُتِلُواْ لِيَجۡعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ حَسۡرَةٗ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡۗ

3:156. O followers of Allah’s guidance! Do not be like those who defied the Laws of Allah. Some had been talking nonsense about the warriors and social activists who died in war and travel, saying, "If they had stayed at home, they would not have died or been killed." The such talk reflects their inability and cowardice.

وَٱللَّهُ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٞ١٥٦

As such, life and death occur according to the rules prescribed by Allah. So, everything you do will have its consequences according to the rule prescribed by Allah. Nothing can go beyond its limits.

That is, not everyone who participates in war dies. As well as not everyone who travels gets into accidents. So, it is clear that one can achieve his goal only if he acts boldly in anything. Thus, protecting others as well.

وَلَئِن قُتِلۡتُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ مُتُّمۡ لَمَغۡفِرَةٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَحۡمَةٌ خَيۡرٞ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُونَ١٥٧

3:157. We must build and maintain a sovereign government that works for the welfare of all human society. Otherwise, anti-social forces will rise. So, if they are killed or die while building the regime, the secure life and blessings available from Allah are many times greater than the wealth they have amassed.

وَلَئِن مُّتُّمۡ أَوۡ قُتِلۡتُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ١٥٨

3:158. Because your life does not end with natural death or assassination. It continues even after that. It passes through many stages of progress and reaches the goal set by Allah. This is how you all have to come together.

And the time will surely come when you will work together under the rule of Rabbu. Those who do so will develop in themselves the affectionate brotherhood and love, one of the special attributes of Allah. (2: 138) thus you will govern this world.

فَبِمَا رَحۡمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمۡۖ وَلَوۡ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ ٱلۡقَلۡبِ لَٱنفَضُّواْ مِنۡ حَوۡلِكَۖ

3:159. The Reformist is gentle and kind to his social activists. This is essential for the proper functioning of the system! Perhaps if you had been with the hard approach, the dedicated individuals carrying out this task would have deserted you.

فَٱعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ وَشَاوِرۡهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِۖ فَإِذَا عَزَمۡتَ فَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَوَكِّلِينَ١٥٩

Therefore, do not dwell unduly on the mistakes they make while fulfilling their duties; instead, grant them as much time as possible to correct themselves. While remaining mindful of their well-being, adopt appropriate measures to rectify errors when they occur. For this, call them and consult them and take a suitable decision. Thus, after making a decision according to divine guidance, everyone should act steadfastly in it with complete determination. Those who accept the responsibility and work well will get the favor of Allah.

Leaders who lead society must bear this in mind and perform their social programs accordingly

إِن يَنصُرۡكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمۡۖ وَإِن يَخۡذُلۡكُمۡ فَمَن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَنصُرُكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦۗ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ١٦٠

3:160. Only with this guidance of Allah can a better society be created. Only such people will get help from Allah. No one else can exert any power over them. If you did not do so, then who will help you? It is the duty of the followers of Allah’s Guidance to remember this forever and to act with full faith

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَن يَغُلَّۚ وَمَن يَغۡلُلۡ يَأۡتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ١٦١

3:161. Knowing this fact, one should not deceive and spread false information by saying what the Reformist has not said. In doing so, the truth about the misinformation will come to light during the period when the Quranic regime is fully operational. He will be punished according to the evil deeds he has done. No one will be discriminated against in the imposition of such punishment. If he escapes from punishment in this life, he cannot escape punishment in his life after death.

أَفَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضۡوَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَنۢ بَآءَ بِسَخَطٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ١٦٢

3:162. Remember. Misinformation will cause people to deviate from the guidance of Allah over time. So many problems will arise and society will live as life in hell. Rather, those who act in complete obedience to the guidance of Allah will not want to make their society hell like this. Because that hell life would ruin all of man's social welfare programs.

هُمۡ دَرَجَٰتٌ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ١٦٣

3:163. Those who act according to the guidance of Allah will be promoted according to their ability and responsibility. That society will gradually progress and reach the peak of development. This is because Allah's law of “good results for human good deeds” has been in effect forever.

لَقَدۡ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ إِذۡ بَعَثَ فِيهِمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمۡ

3:164. So, is it not a great blessing of Allah to choose one among them as a messenger and to reveal the most perfect guidance to those who accept and follow His Laws? The reformist explains to the people how the universal creation of Allah is under function. He makes everyone's knowledge grow better and purifies them from false beliefs.

وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ١٦٤

He also teaches the laws of the land to be followed by people and their purposes and wisdom. That is to say, the benefits of following them - the evil effects if anything is done against them – are clearly stated and told to act intellectually. Without such provisions from Allah, they would have been drowning in a miserable life, just as the man was drowned in misguidance before.

أَوَلَمَّآ أَصَٰبَتۡكُم مُّصِيبَةٞ قَدۡ أَصَبۡتُم مِّثۡلَيۡهَا قُلۡتُمۡ أَنَّىٰ هَٰذَاۖ قُلۡ هُوَ مِنۡ عِندِ أَنفُسِكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ١٦٥

3:165. If a social system is to be established according to His guidance, you will have to face many oppositions and adversities. For example, on the battlefield of Uhud, you faced trouble due to a lack of coordination. The loss to the enemy was two times more than yours. Yet the question arises in your mind as to how this loss occurred. Let them know that they are responsible for this loss. Explain to them that their success or failure is determined by the practical law of Allah Almighty.

وَمَآ أَصَٰبَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ فَبِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ١٦٦

3:166. It was by the same Law of Allah that you lost in that battle. At the same time, you had the opportunity to distinguish between the real followers who obey the commandments of Rabbu and who deviated from them.

وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ نَافَقُواْۚ وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ قَٰتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَوِ ٱدۡفَعُواْۖ قَالُواْ لَوۡ نَعۡلَمُ قِتَالٗا لَّٱتَّبَعۡنَٰكُمۡۗ هُمۡ لِلۡكُفۡرِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَقۡرَبُ مِنۡهُمۡ لِلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ يَقُولُونَ بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِم مَّا لَيۡسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَكۡتُمُونَ١٦٧

3:167. When the war was declared to protect the regime established under the guidance of Allah, the hypocrites tried for excuses and did not participate. Now when the news of victory has come, they say, “If we had known about this, we would have taken part in the war.” By the time they were called for war, their opposition to Allah was greater than their faith in it. So, they did not take part in the war. If what they were saying was true, they would have taken part in the war. Now their speech is different. So, their speech differs depending upon the situation. Will Allah not know the thoughts that penetrate their hearts?

ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُواْ لِإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡ وَقَعَدُواْ لَوۡ أَطَاعُونَا مَا قُتِلُواْۗ

3:168. Leave alone these hypocrites going to war. Do you know what they said about their brothers who were killed in the war remaining behind closed doors at home? They said, “They would not have been killed if they had not participated in a war like us.” That is, they claimed to have wasted their lives in vain.

قُلۡ فَٱدۡرَءُواْ عَنۡ أَنفُسِكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ١٦٨

Those who took part in the war fought for a great cause. But these are the ones who are talking nonsense. Are they all going to be alive for a long time? Will they never die? So please tell them, “When death is approaching, let us see if they are going to prevent it!”

وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمۡوَٰتَۢاۚ بَلۡ أَحۡيَآءٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ يُرۡزَقُونَ١٦٩

3:169. What do these senseless know about the facts about human life and death? Those who were killed in the battle to safeguard the regime which was formed under the guidance of Allah are considered dead. This is not the system. They become "martyrs." They continue to receive the sustenance they need from Allah. You cannot perceive how they will be available.

فَرِحِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَيَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يَلۡحَقُواْ بِهِم مِّنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ أَلَّا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ١٧٠

3:170. "These martyrs" rejoice in the great blessing that they have received from Allah. And they rejoice in the sacrifices they have made, realizing that others in this world will have security and happy life without any fear or sorrow.

۞يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ بِنِعۡمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَضۡلٖ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ١٧١

3:171. They rejoice greatly in the great blessings they have received from Allah. And they see to it that the efforts of those who accept the guidance of Allah and perform better have not gone in vain. They are also very happy to see that their hard work has paid off.

ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لِلَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَآ أَصَابَهُمُ ٱلۡقَرۡحُۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ وَٱتَّقَوۡاْ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٌ١٧٢

3:172. These soldiers, despite the many wounds and hardships which they have suffered in battle, are immediately ready for war when the Reformist calls for war again to protect the regime of Allah. Thus, those who have worked with the idea of establishing and maintaining a better governance system in the way that Allah has shown, are the ones who deserve to have a better life.

ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ قَدۡ جَمَعُواْ لَكُمۡ فَٱخۡشَوۡهُمۡ فَزَادَهُمۡ إِيمَٰنٗا وَقَالُواْ حَسۡبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡوَكِيلُ١٧٣

3:173. Some of the people intimidate the soldiers of Islamic organizations who work with such lofty ideals, about the enemy's accumulated force. And they advise abstaining from it. But instead of getting panic or fear, the warriors with the unshakable faith in Allah were made even stronger. “Can there be a better protector or helper than Allah?” They responded.

فَٱنقَلَبُواْ بِنِعۡمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَضۡلٖ لَّمۡ يَمۡسَسۡهُمۡ سُوٓءٞ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ رِضۡوَٰنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو فَضۡلٍ عَظِيمٍ١٧٤

3:174. Thus, the soldiers, with unshakable faith and determination, were boldly advancing on the battlefield without any fear in the war they undertook. And without much harm to them, they returned home with tons of joy after winning the war by tactics of Allah's Guidance. This is because they acted according to the will of Allah. So, they achieved the great victory they wished for, according to the decree of Allah.

إِنَّمَا ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوۡلِيَآءَهُۥ فَلَا تَخَافُوهُمۡ وَخَافُونِ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ١٧٥

3:175. The selfish mob, on the other hand, is trying to create panic in the minds of the people by spreading various rumors to their colleagues. But you who work in obedience to the guidance of Allah, need not be afraid of this threatening speech. Rather, you should fear only Allah. That is, one should act in fear of the consequences of violating the limits of Allah.

وَلَا يَحۡزُنكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡكُفۡرِۚ إِنَّهُمۡ لَن يَضُرُّواْ ٱللَّهَ شَيۡ‍ٔٗاۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَلَّا يَجۡعَلَ لَهُمۡ حَظّٗا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ١٧٦

3:176. O, Reformist! You need not have to worry about the brisk activities of those who act against the guidance of Allah. Their inappropriate actions cannot harm this regime. The evil effects of their actions will affect them. Temporary pleasures may be available to them, but they will never bring any good in future life. The evil deeds they do will cause them to perish. This is the standard law of Allah.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشۡتَرَوُاْ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ بِٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ لَن يَضُرُّواْ ٱللَّهَ شَيۡ‍ٔٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ١٧٧

3:177. It does not mean that the above law of destructive impacts applies only to them. This law applies also to those who, after accepting the guidance of Allah, reject it for petty gains and act equating it. This is because the destruction caused by such acts is theirs and not Allah's.

Those who live only for the sake of temporary luxurious life, think that there is no such law of Allah that says, "Consequences of human action." So, when they are warned of the devastation that results from evil deeds, they mistakenly think that it is just a threat. Because those effects do not appear immediately before them. They will come just in time. This is like setting a time for a seed to germinate and ripen.

وَلَا يَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا نُمۡلِي لَهُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لِّأَنفُسِهِمۡۚ إِنَّمَا نُمۡلِي لَهُمۡ لِيَزۡدَادُوٓاْ إِثۡمٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ مُّهِينٞ١٧٨

3:178.This saturation period should not be mistaken for a rare opportunity for us to live in luxury, but as an opportunity given to society to realize and correct its mistakes. If they think and act like that, their evil deeds will increase day by day and will push them into the abyss of "painful hell".

To run a successful regime, its participants must be concerned with the welfare of the community and have a pure heart and determination to act. Because when there is a renaissance in the world, people from all walks of life will participate in it in its early days. But only when it comes to the struggle and the hardships that follow, the polluted souls will get rid of it. Only those with a pure heart will remain steadfast.

مَّا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَذَرَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ حَتَّىٰ يَمِيزَ ٱلۡخَبِيثَ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبِۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُطۡلِعَكُمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡغَيۡبِ

3:179. This does not mean that everyone who accepts the guidance of Allah will continue in this system. The truth to know who is evil and who is good will come to light when the trials of struggle and hardship come. But Allah does not announce this matter in advance. You can tell this by their attitude.

وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡتَبِي مِن رُّسُلِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۖ فَ‍َٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۚ وَإِن تُؤۡمِنُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ فَلَكُمۡ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٞ١٧٩

Therefore, Allah reveals to His Reformists only the hidden things which cannot be known by human powers, through His revelations. Know that if you do well following the guidance of Allah and the constitutional order formed accordingly, you will have a bright future.

وَلَا يَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَبۡخَلُونَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ هُوَ خَيۡرٗا لَّهُمۖ بَلۡ هُوَ شَرّٞ لَّهُمۡۖ سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُواْ بِهِۦ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۗ وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَٰثُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٞ١٨٠

3:180. And the system of government is established in the way shown by Allah for the benefit of the society as a whole. So, you have to donate from the wealth which you have got by the grace of Allah for the development of this Regime. Do not think that it is good to be greedy. It will hurt you. Over time, this wealth accumulation itself will cause dangers to your life. Otherwise, the pain will continue after death. Only by the arrangements that Allah has made in the universe and the earth, you have accumulated wealth. So, this wealth should be spent according to His strict command. Tell them that Allah knows best what you do. (See also 56: 63-74)

لَّقَدۡ سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ قَوۡلَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ فَقِيرٞ وَنَحۡنُ أَغۡنِيَآءُۘ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا قَالُواْ وَقَتۡلَهُمُ ٱلۡأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقّٖ وَنَقُولُ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ١٨١

3:181. “We are rich people who live with all the facilities. So, we do not need anyone's support. The regime of Allah is poor. So, it seeks our support. “Allah is not unaware of the talk of the people and about their attempts to assassinate the leader of the society. All of these are reported to Us very accurately. Warn them that the time is approaching when they will experience burning pains.

ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَيۡسَ بِظَلَّامٖ لِّلۡعَبِيدِ١٨٢

3:182. These torments are the ones that come before them, as a result of the evil deeds they are doing. Everyone will be punished according to the crimes he has committed. No injustice will be done to anyone from Allah at all.

ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَهِدَ إِلَيۡنَآ أَلَّا نُؤۡمِنَ لِرَسُولٍ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِيَنَا بِقُرۡبَانٖ تَأۡكُلُهُ ٱلنَّارُۗ

3:183. Also, notice how their speech is. They say, “We must see that the offerings are touched by fire, and then it would be construed that Allah has accepted it. Only then can we accept one as a Messenger of Allah and have faith in him. This is how Allah has taken an oath from us.” These are all fictions created by them. Allah does not get such a promise from anyone.

قُلۡ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رُسُلٞ مِّن قَبۡلِي بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَبِٱلَّذِي قُلۡتُمۡ فَلِمَ قَتَلۡتُمُوهُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ١٨٣

O Reformist! say to them, “Even if we assume that what you have said is true, answer me as to why you killed those Messengers in the past, instead of following their Guidance.

فَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقَدۡ كُذِّبَ رُسُلٞ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ جَآءُو بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِ وَٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُنِيرِ١٨٤

3:184. It is not new that they are telling stories like this. Even with regards to every previous Reformist, they refused to accept Our guidance on some pretext or the other. Every Reformist who came prior to you gave to them clear-cut guidance and enlightening legal plans for a problem-free life. But they made such excuses and tried to refute them.

كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوۡنَ أُجُورَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۖ فَمَن زُحۡزِحَ عَنِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدۡخِلَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ فَقَدۡ فَازَۗ وَمَا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ إِلَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡغُرُورِ١٨٥

3:185. Also tell them, “Everyone must face death. It is a framed law of Allah that man's life should continue after his death. So even if you do not receive the rewards of what you do in this life, you will surely be rewarded in the life after death (see 67: 2). Heaven and Hell will depend on what you do in this world. Whoever seeks life in Paradise from the torment of Hell in this life and the Hereafter is the true winner. (See also: 2: 201,10: 63-64 & 14:27) So, compared to life with lasting happiness after death, the pleasure of living according to the desires of the mind in this world is minimal.”

۞لَتُبۡلَوُنَّ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِكُمۡ وَأَنفُسِكُمۡ وَلَتَسۡمَعُنَّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُوٓاْ أَذٗى كَثِيرٗاۚ وَإِن تَصۡبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ فَإِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ عَزۡمِ ٱلۡأُمُورِ١٨٦

3:186. O Followers of Our guidance! Your conflicts will be with such people. In these conflicts, you will be subjected to several trials in which your livelihood will be damaged and the life of some followers will be lost. If it is not modified, then the people of the Previous Revelations and the idolaters who live in a state of mind will harass you in many ways. They also talk about illusions*. Regardless of all these, you must remain firm in your plans. Always follow the guidance of Allah. This is what supports your lofty ideals.

The people of the Previous Revelations are talking about baseless things that Allah has taken an oath from them." (3: 183) But the real oath that Allah has taken from them is as follows:

وَإِذۡ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَٰقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُۥ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكۡتُمُونَهُۥ فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَآءَ ظُهُورِهِمۡ وَٱشۡتَرَوۡاْ بِهِۦ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلٗاۖ فَبِئۡسَ مَا يَشۡتَرُونَ١٨٧

3:187. The oath taken from them was, “We will live according to the guidance of Allah, make it clear to people of all walks of life, and make way for all to live better.” (see also 2:83). This is the promise that Allah has taken from them. But they are abandoning all those affirmative languages creating their fiction for petty gain and deceiving people by telling them. If they had thought a little and understood Our guidance, they would have realized how great a loss they are doing.

لَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡرَحُونَ بِمَآ أَتَواْ وَّيُحِبُّونَ أَن يُحۡمَدُواْ بِمَا لَمۡ يَفۡعَلُواْ فَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّهُم بِمَفَازَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ١٨٨

3:188. The clergy of the Scriptures rejoice in the trivial things they do. That is, they are teaching people useless things. They think that doing so is a great achievement. They do not even follow what they teach. They do this to get appreciation from the public. Make it clear to them that they will never escape the severe punishments from Allah for their deeds.

Real appreciation and glory come only from one's active work for the benefit of the people of the world. But they are the ones who deceive the people and want to get their name and fame. They also misrepresent that Allah can be deceived. But there is no escape from the torments prescribed by Allah.

وَلِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ١٨٩

3:189. Because everything in the galaxies and the earth is working to fulfill the plans of Allah, the One and Only one. So, all creations will operate according to the criteria set by Allah.

According to these rules, one can only reap the rewards of what he is doing. (10: 4) (34: 3-4) (53:31) This fact is incomprehensible to those who live in blind superstition. Only those who think and act alone will understand this fact. They are the persons well-informed,

إِنَّ فِي خَلۡقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱخۡتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ١٩٠

3:190. They will indulge in research about how the world has been created and about its purpose. They will also deeply study how the earth functions best with the night and day revolving continuously and that only by this system all the creatures can live. Only they will get many pieces of evidence of the infinite power of Allah.

ٱلَّذِينَ يَذۡكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ قِيَٰمٗا وَقُعُودٗا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمۡ

3:191. These people, who live with such great knowledge, spend the rest of their lives, whether sitting or lying down during the day or night, about the framed laws prescribed by Allah to all creations.

وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلۡقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقۡتَ هَٰذَا بَٰطِلٗا سُبۡحَٰنَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ١٩١

They will explore the creation of the universe and the earth and find out how they function. They will be doing a series of research like this, " Ya Rabbana – Nourisher of the worlds! You did not create anything in vain. You are beyond such thoughts. Save us from the torment of Hell.” that is, they will realize that all the discoveries made through research are for creative purposes for the benefit of the people of the world. If they are misused for destruction, they will be afraid of the serious consequences. At the same time, many societies have perished without doing research works of Allah’s creations and reaping the benefits that are available from them. They will pray, “Ya Allah! Do not make us a society that does not do research works.” These are the thoughts and actions of the geniuses of the world who follow Allah’s guidance.

رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ مَن تُدۡخِلِ ٱلنَّارَ فَقَدۡ أَخۡزَيۡتَهُۥۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَارٖ١٩٢

3:192 “Ya Rabbana - Nourisher of the worlds! Any society that suffers hell according to your canon will surely be pushed to a degraded life. And no one can help to save society from such atrocities.

رَّبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا سَمِعۡنَا مُنَادِيٗا يُنَادِي لِلۡإِيمَٰنِ أَنۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِرَبِّكُمۡ فَ‍َٔامَنَّاۚ

3:193. “Accept the guidance of Rabbu and come forward to perform. That is the ideal of your life. “These will be their calls to the public and those who heed the call will have the thoughts as follows.

رَبَّنَا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرۡ عَنَّا سَيِّ‍َٔاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ١٩٣

“Ya Rabbana – Nourisher of the worlds! Protect us from the effects of the small mistakes we make. Guide us also into the good behaviors and to avoid displaying some profane ones. We seek to be in the ranks of those who have succeeded in the ideals of their lives. So, let us associate ourselves with those who have such great thoughts.”

That is, all the activities of the people, who do not carry out research works of Allah’s creations and lose the privilege of getting the benefits available from them will be in vain. So their quality of life will get worse and worse. And not using the mind power of creativity which is the most blessed knowledge of Allah, is the greatest evil deed. So who cares about societies that live in such disgrace?

رَّبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَىٰ رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخۡزِنَا يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۖ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخۡلِفُ ٱلۡمِيعَادَ١٩٤

3:194. “Ya Rabbana – Caretaker of all the universes! Grant us, as You have promised through Your revelations, that if we follow Your guidance, we will have a prosperous and happy life. Keep us away from humiliating torments. The promise You make never changes. We know that the consequences of every action are manifest.”

فَٱسۡتَجَابَ لَهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ أَنِّي لَآ أُضِيعُ عَمَلَ عَٰمِلٖ مِّنكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰۖ بَعۡضُكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡضٖۖ

3:195. On the other hand, the laws of Allah which is in force always give recognition to their thoughts and actions when they accept the call announced through His guidance and act with lofty intentions. Whoever of you, male or female, does creative good deeds according to His guidance, his deeds will not be in vain. And there is no difference between males and females. Because both of you are all members of society. So, it is not possible to distinguish between males and females in the human race.

فَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ وَأُخۡرِجُواْ مِن دِيَٰرِهِمۡ وَأُوذُواْ فِي سَبِيلِي وَقَٰتَلُواْ وَقُتِلُواْ لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّ‍َٔاتِهِمۡ

Keep this in mind as well. While establishing a social system according to divine guidance, you may face many difficulties and tragedies. You may also be forced to give up your favorite treasures. You may also lose doorsteps. May cause severe pain. There will be riots, war, etc. It can affect your life. So, the promise is that only those who endure all this and continue to perform according to the His guidance with determination will get rid of the disorders in that society. (See 2: 155-156 2: 214)

وَلَأُدۡخِلَنَّهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ ثَوَابٗا مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسۡنُ ٱلثَّوَابِ١٩٥

In such a developing society, generous economic facilities will grow just like perennial rivers which give treasury of life. So, there will be plenty of joy. These are the rewards from Allah for the good deeds they used to do. But such rewards can only be obtained by doing creative good deeds under the guidance of Allah.

لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ١٩٦

3:196. Do not be surprised if you find that those who act against Allah's guidance are now living luxuriously. Their happiness will be only temporary.

مَتَٰعٞ قَلِيلٞ ثُمَّ مَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمِهَادُ١٩٧

3:197. Even the benefits they get will be only trivial. Then there will be mounting problems and troubles in their lives. That's too bad.

لَٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ رَبَّهُمۡ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا نُزُلٗا مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٞ لِّلۡأَبۡرَارِ١٩٨

3:198. On the contrary, any society that follows the guidance of Allah and pursues creative good deeds with high qualities will be happy. And generous economic facilities, like a perennial river, will make it look like paradise. Just as those who hold high office receive a banquet with value and respect, think about the great pleasures that those communities will receive from Allah and the blessings that Allah will bestow on these communities. Will suffering or misery approach in such a society?

وَإِنَّ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَمَن يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ خَٰشِعِينَ لِلَّهِ لَا يَشۡتَرُونَ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلًاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ١٩٩

3:199. The heavenly life which has been created by Allah is common to people from all walks of life in the world. So even those people of Previous Revelations also will get such a heavenly life. Because they will act creatively in the fear of Allah’s system, accepting that this Scripture is also a continuation of the Scripture they have. They will not abandon high dignities for petty gains. The rewards of their deeds will surely come from Allah. So do not forget that Allah is quick in reckoning the deeds of everyone.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱصۡبِرُواْ وَصَابِرُواْ وَرَابِطُواْ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ٢٠٠

3:200. O Followers of Allah’s guidance! If you want to lead a society successfully, it is very important for you to be firm in the ideologies revealed by Allah and to work with one another with a sense of brotherhood without any ambiguity and in obedience to the guidance of Allah. Only then will you succeed in your goal.
