Araf 181
181- AND OF THOSE WE CREATED, THERE IS A NATION WHO GUIDE WITH WHAT IS TRUE AND UPHOLD JUSTICE WITH WHAT IS TRUE.
Since the creation of Jinn and Mankind, there has always been, those who have followed the right guidance, taught it to others, and used it in dealing with people, therefore upholding justice. There were some in each nation and each generation, for example Allah the Highest said about the people of Moses earlier in Sorah Al-Araf: “AND OF THE PEOPLE OF MOSES ARE THOSE WHO GUIDE WITH THE TRUTH AND WITH THE TRUTH THEY UPHOLD JUSTICE”. (S: 7 A: 159)
There is such a group in the Muslim nation and there will always be Insha’Allah, for Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, said: “In my nation, there is a group who will always uphold the truth, not deterred by those letting them down or those who oppose them, there will always be this group up to the Day of Resurrection”. (Bukhari & Muslim)
We always find some Muslims or groups of Muslims who claim to be this group, while saying others are wrong.
This group is not necessarily a particular society, or named group, but rather a group of individuals throughout the world who uphold such principles. The word nation does not necessarily refer to a group in certain geographical area, or who belong to certain entity, being political or a school of thought. They are such people, wherever they may be and whatever the language they speak.
Allah the Highest calls the Muslims, a nation; for we share the same believes and uphold the same principles, as well as worshiping the same God in the same way. The Muslim Nation is spread throughout the Earth, speaking different languages, living on different continents; they are of many different races and colours. What makes them a nation; is their belief.
Believing in Allah the Highest, worshipping Him, and guiding others to live by Allah’s guidance, is what qualifies our nation to be the best nation ever raised from mankind, and this is what we have to uphold in order to remain as a, best nation. 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)
Muslims should not think that they are the best nation just for being Muslims, they have to uphold the principles mentioned in the Ayah as well.
