ALMIGHTY ALLAH
SUMMARY
(Al-Baqarah)
1.
Allah
is the Creator of all humans and He arranges for living of every one on this
planet. In return, humans are only required to be righteous and set up no rival
(s) with Him after having known the truth. 2:21-22
2.
Allah’s
Signs are spread around in the universe and humans are required to use their
intellect and understand the marvels of their Creator. In so doing, they must
shun speculation suiting their ill desires. Instead, they must give way in
their lives to learning and accomplishment in the scenario that Almighty Allah
knows all that they do. 2:72-78
3.
Allah
has provided all the means of Guidance to all including those who reject the
Truth having comprehended the same and indulge in ill doings. Such people are
well known to Allah and He declares them as His enemy. 2:91-98
4.
Rejection of
truth and embracing infidelity by the wrongdoers has some chances of correction
employing rationale and call to common sense backed by the best conduct and
exemplary behaviour. Corrective mechanism, in contrast to this, is futile. 2:91-98
5.
All
good is from Allah who has power over all things. The Righteous humans can
possibly have NO patron or helper besides Him. His rule is noticeable in the
heavens and on the earth to all sensible. 2:105-107
6.
Allah will decide the fate of all those people on
the Day of Judgment that endeavour to attain supremacy over other humans
through self-coined ideas and self-centered actions. The oppressors and the oppressed ones are free for action until then.
2:113
7.
For
worship, all directions belong to Allah. He can be found whenever and where
ever one turns to Him. Places of Allah’s worship are not worthy of occupation
by such persons or groups that work for their persons in defiance of their
Creator’s desire. In this are a direction
of action and a message of struggle for all those that are walking the right
path. 2:114-117
8.
Allah’s
Signs have been made amply clear by His messengers and perfectly demonstrated
by the Last of the prophets Muhammad [PBUH]. Believers are only required to follow
firmly these teachings to earn the Favours and Blessings of Allah Almighty.
2:118-121
9.
Followers
of Muhammad [PBUH] must bear in mind that their actions are to be witnessed
before Allah by the Prophet and that they are required to work as a justly
balanced nation for the rest of the world. The guiding formula of dealing with
all other humans should be based on kindness and mercy of the highest order.
2:143
10.
Final
destination of each individual and of each nation is at Allah’s Will and Mercy
based on the good deeds undertaken individually and collectively. It must be
remembered that the good deeds have the inherent strength to unite them all
irrespective of the colour, cast or creed and the place they belong to. Turning
towards the central authority in all walks of human life i.e. the system
espoused by Allah through His messengers that is symbolized by the Sacred
Mosque, has the potential of settling all disputes amongst humans and ensuring
complete favours from Allah with the Divine Guidance except for those that are
bent on wickedness. 2:148-150
11.
Allah’s
Blessings, His Mercy and the Guidance are for those who take to action with
patient perseverance collectively and do not hesitate from sacrificing what all
they possess including their lives. 2:153-157
12.
Doing
more than the minimum required in matters of prescribed good will earn no sin
in case it is recognized by Allah but concealing something out of that will
surely be rewarded by His curse and the curse of those that are entitled to
curse. Exception to this rule, in the scenario of His being Oft Returning and
Most Merciful, is only for those that repent, make amends and openly declare
the Truth. 2:158-160
13.
A
bird’s eye view of the universe and a cursory glance of the systems operating
therein only suggest and prove that all bow to none but Allah Almighty. Those
who do not follow this could only be waiting to see for their selves the strong
enforcement of the stern Punishment from their Creator Lord. 2:164-165
14.
There
exists a possibility that Allah will forgive our transgressing the bounds set
by Him in the sphere of human sustenance and survival depending on our
intentions and the circumstances we are in at that particular moment. But there
can be and there is NO way out in case of willful, bold and constant defiance
of His Commands. In such eventuality ultimate ruin and utter humiliation is the
only lot of all those that aim at split amongst the believers through seeking
dispute in the Book. 2:173-176
15.
To
be the people of truth and the God-fearing implies that you be true to Allah
and His creation including yourself in all matters and under all conditions.
All religious rituals must be supported by the true faith that encourages
spending all that one has for the other humans. 2:177
16.
Allah
Almighty requires of the God-fearing to make a gift to parents and next of kin,
according to the reasonable practice, in the goods left behind at the time of
death. This aspect is to be looked in to
through a will by the deceased itself and by those who survive the deceased
ensuring that none of the heirs is unduly harmed. 2:180-182
17.
Glorifying
Allah’s name, being grateful to Him, seeking guidance and learning judgment can
all be attained through Fasting during the month of Ramadan and understanding
the Qur’an. 2:185
18.
Allah
has defined limits for the believers in all matters of their life that must be
respected and obeyed earnestly to become skilled at self-restraint. 2:187
19.
Allah
has created this universe including the heavenly bodies (like the moon) to
serve the humans. He has also ordained the right rules of conduct to be
followed within and amongst all humans and in all walks of their lives including
the religious rituals like the pilgrimage only to facilitate their peaceful and
purposeful living. Failing that, a strict punishment awaits the culprits and
the wrongdoers not only in this world but also in the life hereafter. 2:189-196
20.
Allah
aims at peace and good conduct by all humans so that they are able to earn good
in this world and in the Hereafter in the scenario of forgiveness and mercy.
Those that get involved in crime owing to egotism will, however be rewarded
with the stringent punishment. 2:197-211
21.
Life
of this world is a temporary but trial phase wherein Allah has arranged for
guidance to the Truth and the Straight Path through the revealed scriptures and
the personal example of His Messengers. Human share in the worldly gains and
the guidance is directly proportional to the earnest efforts that they put in
to acquire them. In this whole scenario, Allah knows and helps such of His
devotees that care to seek His help and keep spending for the parents and
kindred and orphans and those in want and for wayfarers from whatever good they
have. 2:212-215
22.
Allah
ordains to resort to killing for putting an end to turmoil and oppression, in
the scenario of power and wisdom. Equally important are to observe
righteousness, abstain from wine and gambling and keep spending for the
unprivileged from what is beyond your needs in the setting of love and
affection for all. 2:216-220
23.
Belief
in Allah must form the basis for marriage and other enduring bonds amongst all
humans. Connubial relations between husband and wife should be in the scenario
of hygiene and purity aiming at Allah’s love. 2:221-223.
24.
In
the fields of doing well to others, acting rightly and making peace between persons,
(even) Allah’s name should not come in your way. Your operations in these fields
must cater for the scenario that Allah Almighty hears all, knows all, and is
Oft-Forgiving and Most Forbearing. 2:224-225
25.
Fear
of Allah, belief in the Last Day, complete mutual information and the power or
authority employed with wisdom in the scenario forgiveness and mercy must form
the basis of relations between husband and wife. 2:226-233.
26.
Matters
concerning marriage and divorce are not to become a hurdle in respectable happy
life instead these must be resolved in the scenario of honour and respect and
forbearing and forgiveness with wisdom. Widows must have a respectable status
in the society. 2:234-237
27.
Allah’s
worship, in the manner prescribed by Him and as taught and demonstrated by the
Messenger, is a prelude to understanding His Signs and learning wisdom. Looking
after widows and divorcees in a reasonable manner as ordained by Him is a duty
of the righteous. 2:238-242
28.
Allah
gives Life and no human can run away from death. All should be grateful to
Allah for this. Want or Plenty in the life are also from Him. Life and/or
whatever else is spent by the humans in Allah’s Way are considered as a
beautiful loan by Him that is promised to be returned multiplied many times.
2:243-245
29.
It
is only those that are appointed by Allah that should lead believers to fight
against those that do not follow Allah’s Way rather reject the Truth and
actively involve in spreading mischief on earth. Only those should be taken to
fight that truly obey Allah’s appointee. 2:246-253
30.
Allah’s
authority extends constantly and consistently over the entire universe in the
highest possible manner and being supreme in nature. In the scenario of Truth
standing out clearly from Error one is free to follow the way of life that has
been shown by Allah or the one promulgated by the Evil Ones. 2:255-259
31.
It
is the desire of our Creator that we earn with our physical and mental efforts
only that is pure and then that too is spent along with that that we obtain
from land (without our much physical and mental efforts) for earning 700 times
reward to self and affording benefits to others as well. Spending in Allah’s
Way must be undertaken for the entitled ones in the best possible manner. Not resorting
to spending is an unseemly conduct and would result in poverty. Economists of
today have a lesson in it. 2:261-274
32.
Allah
Almighty prohibits usury, permits doing business and encourages deeds of
charity. 2:275-281
33.
All
transactions amongst believers must be based on Faith in Allah and those
involving future obligations must be reduced to writing and witnessed as
required by the law. 2:282-283
34.
Every
human is required to profess and perform belief in Allah, His angels, His Books
and His Messengers. Humans are to account to their Almighty Creator Lord for
what all they do and what all they think openly or secretly to qualify for His
forgiveness or His punishment. They must resort to consistent remembrance of
Allah and continuous praying to Him for His forgiveness, His Mercy and His
protection against those who stand against Faith. 2:284-286
