১৯. আর
যারা আল্লাহ ও তাঁর রসূলের প্রতি বিশ্বাস স্থাপন করে তারাই তাদের
পালনকর্তার কাছে সিদ্দীক ও শহীদ বলে বিবেচিত।
তাদের জন্যে রয়েছে পুরস্কার ও
জ্যোতি এবং যারা কাফের ও আমার নিদর্শন অস্বীকারকারী তারাই জাহান্নামের
অধিবাসী হবে।
Ayat 19. And those who believe in (the Oneness of) Allah and His Messengers, they are the Siddiqun
(i.e. those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to
believe in them), and the martyrs with their Lord, they shall have their
reward and their light. But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of
Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and deny Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they shall be the dwellers of the blazing Fire.
Tafseer of Surah Al-Hadid Ayat 19. And those who believe in Allah and His messengers they are the Sincere (lovers of Truth), and the witnesses (who testify), in the eyes of their Lord: They shall have their Reward and their Light. But those who reject Allah and deny Our Signs,- they are the Companions of Hell-Fire. 5299 Cf. 4:69. The four categories there mentioned as constituting the beautiful Fellowship of Faith are: the Prophets who teach, the Sincere Lovers of Truth, the Witnesses who testify, and the Righteous who do good. Of these, the prophets or messengers have already been mentioned in this verse. The Righteous who do good are mentioned as the men and women given over to deeds of charity in verse 18. The Witnesses are not only Martyrs, but all those who carry the Banner of Truth against all odds and in all positions of danger, whether by pen or speech, or deed or counsel. Note that these two are especially high degrees in the spiritual kingdom, just short of Prophethood. For they have not only their reward in the spiritual Kingdom of Allah, like those who practice charity (verse 18 yesterday), but they themselves become sources of light and leading.
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 Al-Hadid Ayat 19. And those who believe in (the Oneness of) Allah and His Messengers, they are the Siddiqun”, 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.
