Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullah. Today we are discussing Just
10th
Surah Tawbah, ayah 47. Allah
actually gave a social behavior which is extremely
important for us to learn if we have
to live in a society.
Big portion of the Quran will become irrelevant
if you are doing an individual interpretation of
the Quran. This Ayah you cannot understand without
understanding the society and the social behavior of
the people. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in
Surat Tawbah, Hazadookum illa Khabala
Hypocrites, the troublemakers in the time of Rasool
Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, they would not sacrifice
their life and their wealth, especially they will
not participate in the big events. Bedou Taboo
came,
Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is gathering an
army. These munafiq, these hypocrites would never participate
in any big event because obviously when the
big events of Tabuk and Uhad and all
these events are coming, they have to sacrifice
with their wealth and with their life. So
they would try to escape away by giving
these excuses.
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam at the time of
Tabuk, he was worried that why some of
these people who are influential
not participating with us when we are actually
going through the journey of Tabuk?
Allah
gave his reason that why He out of
His divine wisdom have kept these people away
from your congregation.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave three reasons and
it's extremely important for any social behavior. Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala says
These are the people if they would have
been with you, o Muslim community, they would
have caused fitna, they would have caused corruption,
they would have caused confusion.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala have kept them
away so that you can focus on your
goals. 2nd Allah says,
If they would have come, they would have
inculcated
negative energy among the Muslims. They would have
felt discouraged
and demotivated
because of these people. So Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala have kept them away. And the last
thing Allah says,
And some of your team members will blindly
follow these people because these are influential people.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, out of his
divine wisdom, have kept these people away so
you and your team can focus on your
event and your tabuk,
the journey of tabuk. What we are learning
here is that if you are barred, if
you are prevented from participating in Islamic events,
from being part of the Islamic team,
ask yourself,
instead of complaining about this Islamic team, this
masjid, this event have so much politics, ask
yourself, may be Allah
have kept me away from this khayr, from
this good because of my personal reasons, because
of my personal ego. I ask Allah
to give us all the ability to clean
our heart.
