سُوۡرَةُ الحُجرَات
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
يَـٰٓأَيُّها ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُقَدِّمُواْ بَيۡنَ يَدَىِ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ۬ (١) يَـٰٓأَيُّها ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَرۡفَعُوٓاْ أَصۡوَاتَكُمۡ فَوۡقَ صَوۡتِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ وَلَا تَجۡهَرُواْ لَهُ ۥ بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ كَجَهۡرِ بَعۡضِکمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ أَن تَحۡبَطَ أَعۡمَـٰلُكُمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَشۡعُرُونَ (٢)
O you who believe! Do not step forward in the presence of Allah and His Rasool, and fear Allah. Indeed Allah is Hearing, Knowing. (1) O you who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Nabi, and do not speak loud to him like loud to one another, lest your deeds be rendered worthless while you do not realize. (2)
1-It is forbidden to decide about any matter before the judgement & command of Allah and His Rasool sawaw, and it also means that do not walk in front of Rasool Allah sawaw. (Tafseer al-Safi, v3, p342)
2-Some foolish people used to come to Rasool Allah sawaw and used to call in loud voice from outside the holy house, “Ya Mohammad sawaw, can you come out we want to speak to you.” So Allah Ta’ala revealed these verses to teach the respect of Masumeen asws. (al-Burhan, v7, p252)
Lesson:
1-Whatever people can be in need of until Qiyamah, Masumeen asws have told about it the decrees & commands of Allah Ta’ala. Then to step forward in front of Allah and Masumeen asws to issue Fatawa is not right. Allah Ta’ala has made Deen easy i.e. whatever Masumeen asws tell themselves is enough. To be too much inquisitive leads to destruction.
2-To step forward in front of Masumeen asws verbally or practically nullifies the deeds. Similarly to speak loud around holy mausoleums is forbidden.
وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ فِيكُمۡ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِۚ لَوۡ يُطِيعُكُمۡ فِى كَثِيرٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ لَعَنِتُّمۡ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ حَبَّبَ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡإِيمَـٰنَ وَزَيَّنَهُ ۥ فِى قُلُوبِكُمۡ وَكَرَّهَ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ وَٱلۡفُسُوقَ وَٱلۡعِصۡيَانَۚ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلرَّاشِدُونَ (٧)
And know that the Rasool of Allah is among you. If he were to obey you in much of the matter, you would surely be in trouble; but Allah has endeared the faith to you and has beautified it in your hearts, and has made disbelief and defiance and disobedience hateful to you. They are those who are the rightly guided. (7)
1-About the saying of Allah, “but Allah has endeared the faith to you and has beautified it in your hearts” Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: It means Amirul Momineen asws, “and has made disbelief and defiance and disobedience hateful to you” means opponents of Walayat-e-Ali asws. (al-Burhan, v7, p257)
2-Imam Baqir al-Uloom asws said: Is Deen nothing but love? Allah Ta’ala says, “but Allah has endeared the faith to you and has beautified it in your hearts” and says, “If you love Allah then obey me, then Allah will love you” and says, “He loves those who migrate toward Him” (al-Burhan, v7, p257)
Lesson:
1-Deen of Allah is only Mawaddat of Masumeen asws and Walayat of Ali asws. Momin is one whose heart is decorated with Walayat-e-Ali asws; and filled with hatred of opponents of Walayat-e-Ali asws i.e. who deny testimony of Walayat-e-Ali asws, who are defiant i.e. who speak nonsense about Masumeen asws considering them like ordinary humans, while considering Muqassir Mulla superior to Prophets of Bani Israel, and who are disobedient i.e. who disobey Ahadees of Masumeen asws and issue their own Fatawa by rejecting them.
2-The recognition of the guided ones is Mawaddat & Walayat of Masumeen asws, and hatred of Muqassir Mulla.
يَـٰٓأَيُّها ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَـٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ۬ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ شُعُوبً۬ا وَقَبَآٮِٕلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ أَکۡرَمَكُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتۡقَٮٰكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ۬ (١٣) ۞ قَالَتِ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابُ ءَامَنَّاۖ قُل لَّمۡ تُؤۡمِنُواْ وَلَـٰكِن قُولُوٓاْ أَسۡلَمۡنَا وَلَمَّا يَدۡخُلِ ٱلۡإِيمَـٰنُ فِى قُلُوبِكُمۡۖ وَإِن تُطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۥ لَا يَلِتۡكُم مِّنۡ أَعۡمَـٰلِكُمۡ شَيۡـًٔاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ (١٤)
O mankind! Indeed We have created you from male and female, and made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. No doubt, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed Allah is all Knowing, Aware. (13) The Bedouins say: We believe. Say: You have not believed, but rather say "We submit," and faith has not yet entered into your hearts. And if you obey Allah and His Rasool, He will not deprive you from your deeds at all. No doubt, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (14)
1-Rasool Allah sawaw said: No doubt, Allah Azza wa Jalla created two types, and declared me from the best type, and this is the saying of Allah Ta’ala when He mentions the companions of Yameen (Right) and the companions of Shimal (Left), and I am the best among the companions of Yameen. Then Allah divided into three types, and declared me from the third best type, and this is the saying of Allah Azza wa Jalla, “Then the companions of Yameen, what (lucky) are companions of Yameen? And the companions of Shimal, what (doomed) are companions of Shimal? And the Sabiqoon (forerunners), are the forerunners (excelling).” (al-Waqiah, v8-10) and I am the best among Sabiqeen. Then He made three tribes and declared me among the best tribe, and this is the saying of Allah Azza wa Jalla, “O mankind! Indeed We have created you from male and female, and made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. No doubt, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most pious of you” and I am the most pious than all the children of Adam (a.s.) and most honourable than all of them in the sight of Allah the Exalted in Praise, but I am not boasting. Then Allah made homes (families) of the tribes and declared me in the best home, and this is the saying of Allah Azza wa Jalla, “Allah only intends to keep away Rijs from you the Ahlul Bait, and keep you pure as it should be kept pure” (al-Ahzab, v33) (al-Burhan, v7, p267)
2-About the saying of Allah, “The Bedouins say: We believe. Say: You have not believed, but rather say "We submit," and faith has not yet entered into your hearts” Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: Don’t you understand that Eman (faith) is separate from Islam (submission).
Imam Mohammad Baqir asws said about the same verse: Who thought that they believed (became faithful) then certainly he lied, and who thought that they did not accept Islam then he also lied. (al-Burhan, v7, p269)
3-Imam Mohammad Baqir asws said: Eman is testifying and practice, and Islam is testifying without practice. (al-Burhan, v7, p270)
4-Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: Islam is included in Eman, but Eman is not included in Islam. (al-Burhan, v7, p270)
5-Rasool Allah sawaw said: Eman is Marifat with heart, and testimony with tongue, and practice with limbs. (al-Burhan, v7, p273)
Lesson:
1-Allah Ta’ala sent down the Anwaar of His Habeeb sawaw & his Ahlul Bait asws in the best nation & tribe of infallible Prophets (a.s.). On the day of Qiyamah all family trees & relations will not exist, except the holy family tree of Masumeen asws. Nations and tribes are for introduction among the people, but he is only honourable near Allah who has Walayat-e-Ali asws.
2-Momin is only he who has Marifat of Walayat-e-Ali asws in his heart and testifies it with his tongue in the presence of Allah and performs righteous deeds with his limbs. Whoever only says verbally that he believes in Walayat-e-Ali asws, but does not recites testimony of Walayat while performing deeds, then he is hypocrite.
يَمُنُّونَ عَلَيۡكَ أَنۡ أَسۡلَمُواْۖ قُل لَّا تَمُنُّواْ عَلَىَّ إِسۡلَـٰمَكُمۖ بَلِ ٱللَّهُ يَمُنُّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَنۡ هَدَٮٰكُمۡ لِلۡإِيمَـٰنِ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِينَ (١٧)
They make it a favour to you that they have accepted Islam. Say: Do not consider your Islam a favour to me; rather Allah has conferred favour upon you that He guided you to the faith, if you are truthful. (17)
1-Jabir bin Abdullah narrated: I was with Rasool Allah sawaw digging the ditch (during Ghazwa Khandaq), and people were digging the ditch, and Ali asws was also digging the ditch, then Rasool Allah sawaw said to him, “My father sacrifice on you, while you are digging the ditch then Jibrael (a.s.) is dusting off dust from you and Mekael (a.s.) is helping him, and never helped anyone before this. Then Rasool Allah sawaw told a person to dig the ditch as well but he got angry and said, “Mohammad sawaw is not happy with it that we accepted Islam on his hand, now even he orders us to do hard work” Then Allah Ta’ala revealed to His Nabi sawaw, “They declare it a favour to you that they have accepted Islam. Say: Do not consider your Islam a favour to me; rather Allah has conferred favour opon you that He guided you to the faith, if you are truthful.” (al-Burhan, v7, p276)
Lesson:
1-During the battle of Khandaq, Ammar Yassir (a.s.) was busy digging the ditch and dust was rising, and that companion whom Rasool Allah sawaw ordered to dig the ditch passed by covering his nose with his cuff to prevent dust, then Ammar (a.s.) scolded him. Such people think that they have done a big favour to Allah & Masumeen asws by accepting Islam.
This happens in every period of time, even nowadays people are saying: Do not say anything wrong to Ayatollahs (Muqassir Majoosi Mullas) because Islam is known due to them, they are the honour of Islam and our Rahber. Rather in fact, it is favour of Allah on them that Allah blessed Majoosi nation with Islam, but now they are opposing Walayat of Ali asws and Azadari of Hussain asws, and such Mullas feel insult to come and do Matam in Azadari processions. Whole universe is obliged to Masumeen asws, whoever does any good deed, it is only beneficial for himself, Allah and His beloved Masumeen asws are needless of anything.
