Maeda 78-81 End of Part 6
78 – THOSE WHO DISBELIEVED OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAVE BEEN CURSED THROUGH THE TONGUES OF DAVID AND JESUS THE SON OF MARY, THIS IS BECAUSE OF THEIR DISOBEDIENCE AND TRANSGRESSION.
79- THEY DID NOT FORBID EACH OTHER DOING WRONG, AND WHAT EVIL THINGS THEY DID.
80- YOU FIND MANY OF THEM CLOSE ALLIES AND FRIENDS WITH THE DISBELIEVERS, EVIL IS WHAT THEIR SOULS DID FOR THEM, THAT ALLAH’S DISMAY AND ANGER IS UPON THEM AND IN THE PUNISHMENT THEY ARE ETERNALLY.
81- IF THEY BELIEVED IN ALLAH AND THE PROPHET AND WHAT ALLAH SENT DOWN FOR THEM, THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN THEM AS CLOSE FRIENDS AND ALLIES, HOWEVER MANY OF THEM ARE WICKED.
The disbelief of the children of Israel was in their disobedience of Allah’s commands and their aggression to other people. Allah the Highest cursed them, and they were also cursed through the words of His prophets, David (Dawood) and Jesus (Esa). The reasons for this were two:
“THEY DID NOT FORBID EACH OTHER DOING WRONG, AND WHAT EVIL THINGS THEY DID”.
It is important for the believers to forbid each other from doing wrong and sinful. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “When the children of Israel started committing sin, their scholars forbad them, but they were not forbidden. Then they mixed with them where they site and trade and they ate and drunk with them, then Allah the Highest made one heart of them like the other, and cursed them through the words of David and Jesus”. (Ahmed & Termezi)
Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him also said: “By Him who has my soul in his hand, you will enjoin what is right and forbid what is forbidden, and you will restrain the hand of the evil doer and force him to do what is right, or Allah will strike your hearts one against the other, and will curse you as He cursed them”. (Abu Dawood)
Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him stood one day preaching and of what he said was: “Do not let one of you be prevented by fearing people from saying the truth he knows”. (T: Fetan, 26 & Ma: Fetan; 20 & A: 3; 5)
And he prayer and peace upon him said: “Do not let one of you humiliate himself”, they said: “Allah’s messenger, and how one of us would humiliate himself?” he said: “He sees something about which he should say something and does not say it, then Allah says to him on the Day of Resurrection: ‘What stopped you say such and such about me’. He says: ‘Fearing people”, Allah says: ‘I am more worthy of being feared’ (Ibn Magah)
In fact of the most important conditions of the Muslim nation being the best nation is enjoining what is right and forbidding what is forbidden. Allah the Highest said: “YOU ARE THE BEST NATION THAT HAS BEEN RAISED FOR MANKIND; YOU ENJOIN WHAT IS RIGHT , FORBID WHAT IS WRONG AND BELIEVE IN ALLAH”. (S: 3 A: 110)
The second reason is “YOU FIND MANY OF THEM CLOSE ALLIES AND FRIENDS WITH THE DISBELIEVERS” for being close friends and allies to the disbelievers, means that we will have to follow their ways, commit their sins and injustices. This happens because of the short sighted view considering our life on Earth.
This gains them and us Allah’s dismay and anger, and people who have Allah’s dismay and anger upon them can never succeed.
Sadly, we see many Muslims choosing non-Muslims or disbelievers for close friends and allies instead of the Muslim. Muslims even make alliance with non-Muslims against fellow Muslim nations. The gain they may have in this life is limited and short term, if at all, for Allah the Highest always fulfills His promises and never fails to fulfill His threats.
