Emphasis of Worship in Creation of Humans and Jinn
“In the Quran, God says, 'We created humans and jinn only for Our worship.' Maulana, what is the emphasis of worship in this verse? Please clarify.”Asked by Shahnawaz Zafar, Delhi
Maulana agla sawal Delhi se hai Shahnawaz Zafar sahib ka. Unhon ne likha hai: "Quran mein Khuda kehta hai ke hum ne insaan aur jinat ko sirf aur sirf apni ibadat ke liye paida kiya hai." Maulana is mein ibadat ka emphasis kis baat par hai? Is ko wazeh karen. Dekhiye Abdullah ibn Abbas jo mashhoor sahabi hain aur Quran ke mufassir manay jatay hain unhon ne likha hai ke haan 'liya'budoon' ka matlab hai 'la'arifoon'. Yaani maarifat ke liye. Yeh saada baat nahi hai. Ibadat to sari kainat kar rahi hai. yani ibadat ka matlab hai submission. surrender karna. to sari kainat submission kiye hue, surrender kiye hue to sab ke sab ibadat mein masroof hain.
lekin Allah ko ko yeh matlab tha ke ek aisi makhlooq paida ho jo shaoori taur par aur apni discovery ke taur par woh abid banay. marifat ka matlab yahi hai. yani bashaoor ibadat. doosri cheezein jo hain woh to yani under compression ibadat kar rahi hain. aur insan se Allah taala ko yeh matlab hai ke woh khud apne faislay se, apne choice se ibadat guzar banay. apne choice se woh Allah ka ibadat guzar banay. yeh matlab hai is ka.
maulana agla sawal lene se pehle ek comment parhna chahenge jo Maulana Iqbal Umri ne bheja hai Tamil Nadu se. unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana ibadat aur itaat ke is farq se mein andha tha." Maulana Allah aap ko jaza e khair de.
