Prologue
Ushbu sura o‘z matnining butun mazmuniga singib ketgan ikki asosiy mavzuni mustahkamlashga qaratilgan. Shuningdek, unda bu asosiy mavzularga aloqador bir qator ikkinchi darajali ishoralar ham mavjud.
This surah seeks to establish two major themes which permeate its entire text. It also includes a number of secondary references which relate to those major themes.
Suraning birinchi maqsadi har bir musulmonning qalbida shu haqiqatni mustahkamlashdir: uning dini Xudo insoniyat uchun belgilab bergan ilohiy tizimning oxirgi shakli hisoblanadi. Bu tizimning oldingi shakllari ham bo'lgan, ularning har biri insoniyat tarixining muayyan davriga mos keltirilgan edi. Shuningdek, oldingi payg'ambarlarning va o'tgan ummatlarning hayotida ibrat olishga arziydigan ko'p tajribalar bo'lgan. Bularning barchasi bir iloiy dinning ushbu oxirgi shakliga yo'l tayyorlagan. U Xudoning insoniyat uchun so'nggi xabarini o'zida mujassam etgan bo'lib, Xudo uni barcha boshqa dinlardan ustun qilishni irodalagan.
The first aim of the surah is to establish in the conscience of every Muslim the fact that his religion is the final version of the divine system God has laid down for mankind. There were earlier versions, each suited for a particular period of human history. There were also experiences in the lives of earlier messengers and past communities that afforded much to reflect upon. All these have paved the way for this final version of the one divine faith. It incorporates Gods final message for mankind, which He has willed to prevail over all other religions.
Shuning uchun, surada Muso (alayhissalom) xabari keltiriladi, va uning qavmi unga ko'p azob-uqubat keltirgani hamda uning da'vatidan chetga og'ganligi aniq ko'rsatiladi. Ular adashgan edilar va endi ilohiy dinning omonatdorlari bo'lishga loyiq emas edilar: {Musa qavmiga dedi: "Ey qavmim! Men sizlarga yuborilgan Allohning elchisi ekanimni bilaturib, nega meni ranjitasizlar?" Ular to'g'ri yo'ldan og'ganlarida, Alloh ularning qalblarini haqdan og'dirib qo'ydi.}
Hence, the surah mentions Moses’ message, making it clear that his people caused him much grief and deviated from his message. They had gone astray and were no longer to be trustees of the divine faith: “Now when Moses spoke to his people, he said: ‘My people! Why do you cause me grief, when you know that I am a messenger God has sent to you? So, when they swerved from the right way, God let their hearts swerve from the truth.
Xudo zolim qavmlarni hidoyatga yetaklamaydi. (5-oyat)
God does not bestow His guidance upon evildoers.” (Verse 5)
Sura shundan keyin Iso (alayhissalom) xabarini eslatadi, bu esa Iso Muso (alayhissalom) ning oldingi xabarini davom ettirish uchun yuborilganini, va o'zidan oldin nozil qilingan Tavrotni tasdiqlaganini ko'rsatish uchun keltirilgan. Unga, shuningdek, so'nggi xabarga yo'l tayyorlash, uni olib boradigan Payg'ambar haqida xushxabar berish va birinchi hamda oxirgi ilohiy dinlar o'rtasida bog'lovchi bo'lish vazifasi topshirilgan. "Va Maryamning o'g'li Iso ham aytdi: Ey Isroil o'g'illari! Men sizlarga Allohning elchisiman, mendan oldin nozil qilingan Tavratni tasdiqlash va mendan keyin keladigan, ismi Ahmad bo'lgan bir Payg'ambar haqida xushxabar berish uchun [yuborilganman]" (6-oyat). Demak, uning vazifasi Muso (alayhissalom) dan keyin ilohiy imonning amanatini ko'tarish va so'ngra kelishini xabar bergan Payg'ambarga topshirish edi.
The surah then mentions Jesus’ message to establish that Jesus was sent to carry on Moses’ earlier message, confirming what was revealed before him of the Torah. He was also given the task of paving the way for the final message, giving news of the Messenger who was to carry it, and serving as a link between the first and the last divine religions. “And also Jesus, the son of Mary, said: Children of Israel! I am God's messenger to you, [sent] to confirm the Torah revealed before me, and to give news of a messenger that will come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad " (Verse 6) Hence, his task was to carry the trust of the divine faith after Moses and then to give it to the Messenger whose coming he announced.
Har doim Allohning ilmi va irodasiga ko‘ra tasdiqlangan ediki, bu bosqichlar oxir-oqibat insoniy hayotda Xudoning dinini mustahkamlaydigan yakuniy va doimiy bir shaklga olib keladi va bu so‘nggi Elchi orqali amalga oshadi: «U Zotdir, Ki O‘z Elchisini hidoyat va haq din bilan yubordi, toki uni barcha boshqa dinlardan ustun qilsin, garchi mushriklar buni yoqtirmasalar ham» (9-oyat).
It was always confirmed, according to God’s knowledge and by His will, that these steps would eventually lead to a final and permanent version to establish God’s faith in human life, and this by the final Messenger: “Zr is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, so that He may cause it to prevail over all other religions, however hateful this may be to the idolaters." (Verse 9)
Bu surahning birinchi aniq maqsadi uning ikkinchi maqsadini keltirib chiqaradi.
This first clear purpose of the surah gives rise to its second purpose.
Qachonki musulmon bu haqiqatni to‘liq anglasa, ilohiy dinning tarixini bilsa va bu dindagi o‘z ulushini tushunsa, bu amanat o‘z ichiga olgan vazifalarni ham anglaydi. Shu sababli, u bu dinning Alloh xohlaganidek, boshqa barcha dinlar ustidan g‘alaba qilishi uchun intilishga aniq va xolis niyatga ega bo‘ladi. Endi o‘z og‘zi bilan qilishni va’da qilgan ishni amalda bajarishda hech qanday ikkilanish qolmaydi. Mo‘min kishi Alloh yo‘lida intilishni e’lon qilib, so‘ng undan o‘zini tiyishi to‘g‘ri emas. Ba’zi rivoyatlarga ko‘ra, bunday holatlar ba’zi kishilarda uchragan ko‘rinadi. Shu sababli, sura butun koinot va undagi barcha narsalar Allohni uzluksiz poklashi haqidagi e’lon bilan boshlanadi.
When a Muslim is fully aware of this fact, knows the history of the divine faith and is aware of his share of it, he realizes the duties that this trust involves. Hence, he has a clear and sincere motive for striving to ensure that this faith prevails over all other religions, just as God wants it to do. There is no longer any vacillation in practically carrying out what one verbally has proposed to do. It is inappropriate for a believer to declare his intention to strive for God’s cause but then to refrain from doing so. According to some reports, it appears that there were some cases of this sort. Hence, the surah starts with a proclamation that the entire universe and all that is in it unceasingly glorify God.
"Ey iymon keltirganlar! Nega siz qilmaydigan narsani aytasiz? Qilmaydigan narsani aytishingiz Alloh huzurida juda ham yomon gunohdir! Albatta, Alloh O'z yo'lida jang qiladigan kishilarni, go'yo ular mustahkam bino bo'lgandek, saf tortib (birlashib) turganlarni sevadi" (2—4-oyatlar).
“Believers! Why do you say what you do not do? Most loathsome is it in the sight of God that you say what you do not do! God loves indeed those who fight in His cause in solid ranks, as though they were a firm and compact building" (Verses 2—4)
Surada o'rtada mo'minlarni bu dunyoda ham, oxiratda ham eng foydali savdoda ishtirok etishga chaqiriladi: "Ey mo'minlar! Sizni og'ir azobdan qutqaradigan savdoni ko'rsatibmi? Siz Allohga va Uning Elchisiga iymon keltirishingiz, mollaringiz va jonlaringiz bilan Alloh yo'lida jihod qilishingiz kerak. Agar bilsangiz, bu o'zingiz uchun yaxshidir. U sizlarning gunohlaringizni kechiradi va sizlarni ostidan daryolar oqib turadigan jannatlarga hamda Adn jannatlaridagi go'zal qasrlarga kiritadi. Mana shu buyuk najotdir! Va yana sizlar yaxshi ko'radigan boshqa narsani ham (beradi): Alloh tomonidan yordam va yaqin fath. Mo'minlarga xushxabar bering."
In the middle of the surah, the believers are called upon to take part in the most profitable transaction that they could have in this life and in the life to come: “ Believers! Shall i point out to you a bargain that will save you from grievous suffering? You are to believe in God and His Messenger, and to strive hard in God's cause with your possessions and your lives. This is for your own good, if you but knew it. He will forgive you your sins, and [in the life to come] will admit you into gardens through which running waters flow, and into goodly mansions in the gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph! And [He will grant you]yet another thing that you dearly love: help from God and a victory soon to come. Give you the good news to the believers.” (Verses 10-13)
Sura shu oyat bilan yakunlanadi: mo'minlarga Alloh yo'lidagi (dinini qo'llab-quvvatlashda) yordamchilar bo'lishga da'vat etiladi, xuddi Iso ibn Maryam o'z hawariylariga: "Alloh yo'lida menga kim yordamchi bo'ladi?" deganidek. Hawariylar esa: "Biz Alloh yo'lida sizning yordamchilaringiz bo'lamiz", dedilar. Shunday qilib, Bani Isroil'dan bir guruh iymon keltirdi, boshqalari esa haqiqatni inkor etdi. Lekin biz iymon keltirganlarga dushmanlari ustidan kuch berdik, ular g'olib bo'ldilar. (14-oyat)
The surah ends with an appeal to the believers to be the helpers in furthering Gods cause, just like Jesus’ disciples who supported him when the Israelites continued to deny his message and were hostile towards him: “Believers! Be helpers [in the cause] of God; just as Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples: “Who will be my helpers in God's cause?" The disciples said: “We shall be [your] helpers in God's cause. "And so some of the Children of Israel came to believe whereas others denied the truth. But We have given those who believed strength over their enemy and they were the ones to prevail." (Verse 14)
Bu ikki maqsad butun sura davomida juda aniq ko'rinib turadi va suraning deyarli barcha matnini egallaydi. Faqat oxirgi xabarni rad etuvchilarni qoralash qoladi, bu esa ikki asosiy mavzu bilan aniq bog'liqdir. Buni Iso alayhissalom so'nggi Elchi, Payg'ambar Muhammad ﷺ ning yaqinda kelishi haqida xabar berganidan keyin aniq ko'ramiz.
These two purposes are very clear throughout the surah, taking up nearly all of its text. There only remains a denunciation of those who reject the final message, which is clearly linked to the two main themes. We see this clearly stated after Jesus gave the news of the impending appearance of the final Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him):
Lekin u ularga barcha dalillar bilan haqiqat keltirganda, ular: «Bu ochiq sehrdir», dedilar. Xudo ustidan yolg'on to'qiyotgan kishidan ko'ra zolimroq kim bor? Holbuki, unga faqat Unga bo'ysunishga da'vat etilmoqda. Xudo zolim qavmni to'g'ri yo'lga boshlamaydi. Ular og'izlari bilan Xudoning nurini o'chirmoqchi bo'ladilar, lekin kofirlarga bu yoqmasa ham, Xudo o'z nurini to'liq darajada yoyadi.
“But when he came to them with all evidence of the truth, they said: 'This is plain sorcery.' Who could be more wicked than one who invents a falsehood about God, when he is only being called upon to submit to Him? God does not bestow His guidance upon the wrongdoers. They aim to extinguish God's light with their mouths, but God will spread His light in all its fullness, however hateful this may be to the unbelievers."(Verses 6-8)
Demak, har bir musulmon o‘z ongida aniq biladi, uning dini Xudo yer yuzida o‘rnatishni xohlagan dinning so‘nggi shakli ekanini. U bu ilohiy dinning amonati unga topshirilganini anglaydi va Xudoning xohishiga ko‘ra Uning yo‘lida harakat qilishi lozimligini biladi. Uning yo‘nalishi aniq bo‘lib, hech qanday noaniqlik, ikkilanish yoki tebranishga joy qoldirmaydi. Maqsad aniq belgilangan, unga erishish yo‘li esa ravshan ko‘rsatilgan.
Thus, every Muslim is clear in his mind that his faith is the final version of the religion God wants to be established on earth. He realizes that the trust of this divine faith is given to him, and he knows that he is required to strive for God’s cause as God wants. His line is clear, leaving no room for ambiguity, hesitation or faltering. The goal is well defined and the way to achieve it is made clear.
Ushbu maqsadni belgilovchi yo'riqnoma bilan birga, musulmon kishi rioya qilishi lozim bo'lgan axloqiy kodeksning xarakteri haqida ham aniq ko'rsatmalarimiz bor. Musulmon o'z vijdoni bilan harakati o'rtasida izchillikni namoyon etishi kerak. U bir narsani aytib, keyin boshqasini qila olmaydi. Uning tashqi ko'rinishi ichida yashirgan narsasidan tubdan farq qilmasligi lozim. U barcha vaziyatlarda barqaror bo'lishi, Allohning yo'lida xizmat qilishga sadoqatli bo'lishi, niyati ham, harakati ham ravshan bo'lishi, qat'iy qadamlar bilan yurishi, Musulmonlar jamoasi mustahkam asosga ega bo'lgan bino kabi mustahkam va sobit ko'rinishi uchun birodarlari bilan hamkorlik qilishi kerak.
With this goal-defining directive we also have clear pointers to the nature of the moral code a Muslim must follow. A Muslim must demonstrate consistency between his conscience and his action. He cannot say one thing and then do another. His appearance must not fundamentally differ from what he conceals within himself. He must be consistent in all situations, dedicated in his service to Gods cause, clear in both his intention and action, moving with steady steps, collaborating with his brothers so that the Muslim community is seen to be solid and firm like a building with strong foundations.
