![]() As for the question, what is implied by the first hashr here, the commentators have disagreed on it. Thus, the words li-awwal-ilhashr mean: with the first hashr or on the occasion of the first hashr. The word hashr in the text means to gather the scattered individuals togather or to take out scattered individuals after mustering them together. The other reason why Allah has described their exile as His own action has been stated in the following verses.ģ. ![]() In other words, they were not expelled by the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Muslims but by Allah Himself. That is why Allah is describing their exile as His own action, for it was precisely in accordance with divine law. This notice was in accordance with this injunction of the Quran: If you ever fear treachery from any people, throw their treaty openly before them. Thereupon, the Prophet (peace be upon him) told them either to leave Al-Madinah or to be ready for a war. The plot became exposed, and when they were accused of breaking the agreement they could not deny it. That is, they plotted to kill the leader of the other party to the treaty, i.e. But the reason why they were attacked was that after making different kinds of minor violations of it, they at last committed such an offense which amounted to the breach of trust. They had not broken this agreement as such that it should have become void. The Prophet (peace be upon him) had concluded a formal written treaty with the Bani an-Nadir. Here, the reader should understand one thing at the outset so as to avoid any confusion about the banishment of the Bani an-Nadir. So learn a lesson from this, O you who have perceptive eyes! Ģ. Then Allah came upon them from whence they did not even imagine, casting such terror into their hearts that they destroyed their homes by their own hands and their destruction was also caused by the hands of the believers. You did not believe that they would leave while they too thought that their fortresses would defend them against Allah. This by itself is a proof that Allah’s Mercy is infinite.(59:2) He it is Who in the first assault drove forth the People of the Book that disbelieved from their homes at the first gathering of forces. He has created it in order to make one creature a means for the development and well-being of the other creature. He has created the quality of mercy for some other creature. The mercy of every other being, characterized by the ability of mercy, is partial and limited, and that quality too is not essentially its own, but bestowed by the Creator for a specific need and purpose. None else in the world is the bearer of such all-pervading, infinite mercy. That is, He alone is the Being Whose mercy is limitless, which covers the whole universe and blesses and benefits everything in it. He does not stand in need of any means or medium of knowledge.ģ5. He directly knows whatever has happened in the past, whatever exists at present and whatever will happen in the future. ![]() Nothing of this universe is unknown to Him. That is, He knows whatever is hidden from the creatures as well as whatever is known and visible to them. ![]() That is, He is the One besides Whom none else has the rank, position, attributes and powers of Godhead so that he may be worshiped and served as god.ģ4. Here, one should also understand that although in the Quran, the attributes of Allah Almighty have been stated in a unique way, which gives a clear concept of the divine Being, there are two places where the attributes of Allah have been mentioned in a most comprehensive way, in the verse of the Alkursi (Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat 255) and in these verses of Surah Al-Hashr.ģ3. This mention of the divine attributes immediately after the above theme automatically gives man the feeling that he has not to deal with an ordinary being but with Almighty Allah Who has such and such attributes. These verses explain what kind of God He is, and what are His attributes, Who has sent this Quran to you, Who has placed these responsibilities on you, and before Whom you have to render an account of your deeds in the end. (59:22) He is Allah: there is no god but He the Knower of the unseen and the manifest, He is the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. ![]()
