Tafseer
of Ayat 105 to 108. The
people of Noah PBUH rejected the messengers. Behold, their brother Noah said to
them: "Will ye not fear ((Allah))? Noah's
generation had lost all faith and abandoned themselves to evil. They had
rejected the Message of messengers previously sent to the world. Noah was sent
to them as one of themselves ("their brother"). His life was open before them:
he had proved himself pure in heart and conduct (like the Prophet of Arabia PBUH
long after him), and worthy of every trust. Would they fear Allah and follow his
advice? They could see that he had no ends of his own to serve. Would they not
listen to him? "I
am to you a messenger worthy of all trust:
Amin=one to whom a trust had been given, with several shades of meaning implied:
e.g., (1) worthy of trust, (2) bound to deliver his trust, as a prophet is bound
to deliver his Message, (3) bound to act entirely as directed by the trust, as a
prophet is bound to give only the Message of Allah, and not add anything of his
own, and (4) not seeking any interest of his own. "So
fear Allah, and obey
me.
Hazrat Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (May Allah be pleased
with him) reported: "O you people! You recite this Verse: `O you who believe!
Take care of your own selves. If you follow the (right) guidance [and enjoin
what is right (Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and
forbid what is wrong (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden)]
no hurt can come to you from those who are in error.' (5:105) But I have heard
Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) saying: "When people see an oppressor but do
not prevent him from (doing evil), it is likely that Allah will punish them
all.''
[Abu Dawud Hadith # 4338 and At-Tirmidhi Hadith #
2168].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Ash-Shuara Ayat 108. "So fear Allah, keep
your duty to Him, and obey me. This Hadith brings out the
following points: What Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (May Allah be pleased with him) had
stated was that the Ayah mentioned in this Hadith was generally understood to
mean that if a person is on the Straight Path then it is not necessary for him
to preach virtue and forbid vice because in that case he neither has the fear of
being harmed by the disobedience and sins of others nor is he answerable to
Allah for their misdeeds. Thus, what it implies is that Muslim Ummah is not
responsible for the enforcement of Islamic Shari`ah in the world and all it is
concerned with is its own improvement only. By narrating this Hadith, Abu Bakr
As-Siddiq (May Allah be pleased with him) refuted this interpretation of the
Ayah and made it clear that it is the duty of the Ummah and each of its member
to make best possible efforts to check the vices prevalent in the society. So
much so that if a Muslim has the ability to check the vices by means of force or
speech but he does not do it, his negligence in this regard will become a cause
of Divine wrath and punishment. The true significance of this ayah is that if,
in spite of the best efforts on the part of the pious ones there is no
improvement, and people do not abstain from sins and disobedience of Allah, then
the pious persons will not be held responsible for what the defaulters do, nor
would they suffer on this account. This interpretation of the ¢yah removes the
conflict that seems to exist between the meaning of the Ayah and the
Hadith
