Here Allah points out something lower by referring to something higher. When
He commands His servant and Messenger to do this, He is also commanding those
who are lower than him, and the command is addressed to them more so. Talq bin
Habib said: "Taqwa means obeying Allah in the light of the guidance of Allah and
in hope of earning the reward of Allah, and refraining from disobeying Allah in
the light of the guidance of Allah and fearing the punishment of Allah.''
[وَلاَ تُطِعِ
الْكَـفِرِينَ وَالْمُنَـفِقِينَ]
(and obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites.) means, do not listen to
what they say and do not consult them.
[إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ
عَلِيماً حَكِيماً]
(Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise) means, He is more deserving of
your following His commandments and obeying Him, for He knows the consequences
of all things and is Wise in all that He says and does. Allah says:
[وَاتَّبِعْ مَا
يُوحَى إِلَـيْكَ مِن رَبِّكَ]
(And follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord.) meaning, of the
Qur'an and Sunnah.
[إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ
بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيراً]
(Verily, Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do.) means, nothing at all is
hidden from Him, and put your trust in Allah, i.e., in all your affairs and
situations.
[وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ
وَكِيلاً]
(and sufficient is Allah as a Wakil.) means, sufficient is He as a Trustee
for the one who puts his trust in Him and turns to Him.
[مَّا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ
لِرَجُلٍ مِّن قَلْبَيْنِ فِى جَوْفِهِ وَمَا جَعَلَ أَزْوَجَكُمُ اللاَّئِى
تُظَـهِرُونَ مِنْهُنَّ أُمَّهَـتِكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ أَدْعِيَآءَكُمْ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ
ذَلِكُمْ قَوْلُكُم بِأَفْوَهِكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهْدِى
السَّبِيلَ - ادْعُوهُمْ لاًّبَآئِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِندَ اللَّهِ فَإِن لَّمْ
تَعْلَمُواْ ءَابَاءَهُمْ فَإِخوَانُكُمْ فِى الدِّينِ وَمَوَلِيكُمْ وَلَيْسَ
عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَآ أَخْطَأْتُمْ بِهِ وَلَـكِن مَّا تَعَمَّدَتْ
قُلُوبُكُمْ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُوراً رَّحِيماً ]
(4. Allah has not made for any man two hearts inside his body. Neither has He
made your wives whom you declare to be like your mothers' backs, your real
mothers nor has He made your adopted sons your real sons. That is but your
saying with your mouths. But Allah says the truth, and He guides to the way.)
(5. Call them by their fathers, that is more just with Allah. But if you know
not their father's, your brothers in faith and Mawalikum (your freed servants).
And there is no sin on you concerning that in which you made a mistake, except
in regard to what your hearts deliberately intend. And Allah is Ever
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.)
