29- “MY PEOPLE, I AM NOT ASKING YOU A RECOMPENSE
FOR THIS, FOR MY RECOMPENSE IS WITH ALLAH, AND I WILL NOT TURN THE BELIEVERS
AWAY, FOR THEY WILL MEET THEIR LORD, AND I SEE THAT YOU ARE IGNORANT PEOPLE”.
30- “AND MY PEOPLE, WHO WILL SUPPORT ME AGAINST
ALLAH IF I TURN THEM AWAY, DO YOU NOT COMPREHEND”.
Whenever a person does any work in the cause of Allah the
Highest, one should expect the recompense for from Allah only.Allah’s prophets and messengers, peace upon
them, did not want or expect recompense from the people they were sent to, but
only from Allah the Highest.
In fact, Allah the Highest does not accept or recompense for
any deed unless it is for Him alone, for He said in Hadith Qudsi: “I am the one who does not need partners, therefore
whoever does a deeds in which he gives me partners, I will leave it to the
partner”.
The second issue in these Ayahs is to turn the believers away
in order to please others.Allah the
Highest said: “AND DO NOT TURN OUT THOSE WHO
CALL UPON THEIR LORD BY DAY AND NIGHT, SEEKING HIS FACE (HIM ALONE), YOU ARE
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR JUDGEMENT AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR
JUDGEMENT, IF YOU SEND THEM AWAY, YOU WILL BE AN UNJUST TRANSGRESSOR”. (S: 6 A: 52)
There is a clear difference in status and value between the
believer and the disbeliever before Allah the Highest.Allah the Highest told His messenger, prayer
and peace upon him, in the Quran about this in no uncertain terms, when he just
frowned when a blind Muslim man went to speak to him while Allah’s messenger
was speaking to some of the disbelievers.The first Ayahs of Sorah Abes are about this.Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, used to
say to this man when he saw him: “Welcome to
whom my Lord reproached me about”.We
should note that in this situation, Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, did not
turn the blind believer away, but just frown and turned his face away from him,
when he interrupted his conversation with the disbelievers he was trying to
attract to Islam.The blind man did not
see this reaction, but Allah the Highest did, and it was enough to cause Him to
reproach His messenger, prayer and peace upon him.
The believers will meet with their Lord, and their Status and
Esteem will be raised then, therefore the believers should be aware of the
status of other believers before Allah the Highest and treat them accordingly.
Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace, upon him said: “Insulting a believer is wickedness, and fighting him is
disbelief”. (B: Eman; 36 & M: Eman; 116 & T: Ber; 51)
These are the values and the esteem of the believer before
Allah the Highest.
