Anam 66-70
66- AND YOUR PEOPLE DENIED IT, WHILE IT IS THE TRUTH, SAY: “I DO NOT REPRESENT YOU”.
67- EVERY THING WILL COME TO ITS END, AND YOU WILL KNOW.
68- AND IF YOU SEE THOSE WHO ILL SPEAK OF OUR AYAHS, TURN AWAY FROM THEM UNTIL THEY SPEAK OF ANOTHER SUBJECT OF CONVERSATION, AND IF THE DEVIL CAUSES YOU TO FORGET, DO NOT SIT AFTER REMEMBERING WITH THE UNJUST PEOPLE.
69- THOSE WHO ARE PIOUS AND GUARD THEMSELVES FROM ALLAH’S DISPLEASURES, WILL NOT ANSWER FOR THE OTHERS, BUT THIS IS A REMINDER, SO THAT THEY MAY BE PIOUS AND GUARD THEMSELVES FROM ALLAH’S DISPLEASURE.
70- AND LEAVE THOSE WHO TAKE THEIR RELIGION AS SUBJECT FOR JESTING AND PLAY, WHO HAVE BEEN MISLEAD BY THE LOWER LIFE, BUT REMIND PEOPLE WITH IT, SO THAT NO SOUL GIVEN TO PUNISHMENT, HAVING NO FRIENDS, ALLIES, OR A PERSON TO INTERCEDE FOR; AND IF IT OFFERS ANY RANSOM, IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, THEY ARE THOSE WHO ARE GIVEN TO SUFFER AND PERISH BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY EARNED, THEIR DRINK IS VERY HOT, AND A PAINFUL PUNISHMENT BECAUSE OF THEIR DISBELIEF.
Allah the Highest is telling his prophet prayer and peace upon him and the believers that they many people denied and will deny the truth sent to them from their Lord. The prophet and those who take up the job of delivering Allah’s message are responsible only for delivering this message and not for people’s reaction to it. They are not responsible for people’s belief and disbelief. “BUT IF THEY TURN AWAY, YOUR DUTY IS BUT TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE AND ALLAH SEES EVERY THING HIS SLAVES DO”. (S: 3 A: 20)
And said: “THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR MESSENGER IS JUST TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE”. (S: 6 A: 99)
And said: “YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES IS TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS THE JUDGEMENT”. (S: 13 A: 40)
Those who deliver Allah’s message to mankind do not represent those they deliver the message to and are not their deputies. Those who deny the truth will certainly know for sure that it is the truth, but then it will be too late for them to believe and do good deeds.
“AND IF YOU SEE THOSE WHO ILL SPEAK OF OUR AYAHS, TURN AWAY FROM THEM UNTIL THEY SPEAK OF ANOTHER SUBJECT OF CONVERSATION”
This is an important rule in Islam, and it is that those who see or hear the wrong being done and do not try to correct it, or if they can not show their disapproval by leaving the company which is doing wrong. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Whoever sees wrong being done; let him change it with his hand, but if he can not then with his tongue, but if he can not, then with his heart and this is the weakest faith”.
If this is to do with the speaking ill of Allah’s Ayahs, which include Allah’s book, prophets and messengers, then the least thing a Muslim may do according to this Ayah is to leave this company, for if one does not leave this company, Allah will consider him or her to be one of them, for Allah he Highest said: “AND IT HAS BEEN SENT DOWN TO YOU IN THE BOOK THAT IF YOU HEAR ALLAH’S AYAHS BEING REJECTED AND MOCKED, DO NOT SIT WITH THEM UNTIL THEY SPEAK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE, OTHERWISE YOU ARE LIKE THEM. INDEED, ALLAH WILL GATHER THE HYPOCRITES AND THE DISBELIEVERS IN THE HELL-FIRE ALL TOGETHER. (S: 4 A: 140)
Allah the Highest commanded us to turn away from the ignorant, to ignore them and take no part in their conversation, He said: “TAKE FROM THEIR SURPLUS MONEY, AND UPHOLD THE TRADITIONS (WHICH ARE RIGHTEOUS) AND TURN AWAY FROM THE IGNORANT”. (S: 7 A: 199)
However, man if forgetful, and if he forgets, then once he remembers then he should nor take part in such company, and should not site with them when they have such conversations. Then he/she will not be responsible for such abuse before Allah the Highest.
(Ayah 70) Then Allah the Highest commands us to turn away from those who take their religion as a subject for mockery and jesting, which is turning away from the ignorant. Yet this does not mean that we do not remind the ignorant of Allah the Highest and His faith, for we do not know whom Allah the Highest will be guiding, and because our life on Earth is our only chance to believe and do good deeds. In the after life, one can not help another, by intercession, ransom, or because of whom we know. Then there will be only punishment for the disbelievers.
Allah the Highest often describe aspects of the punishment or aspects of the reward in the Hereafter when it is mentioned as a reminder of the pleasures and horror of each place. Here is a reminder of the Horror of the Hell-Fire; that the drink is very hot and the punishment is severely painful.
May Allah protect us from this end.
