Excerpts from Chapter 22
of QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir, about the community following Qur’aanic
Path being divinely named as Muslims:
77.
O you who believe! Bow and prostrate and worship your Lord. And do that which
is good so that you may achieve success.
78.
And strive in Allah’s way, as one ought to strive in His way. HE has chosen you
[the pronoun is in plural] and has not laid upon you any severity in following
the way of life approved by Him for you – the lifestyle of your forefather
Abraham. HE named you as the Muslims before and in this (Qur’aan), so that the
Messenger may be a witness over you, and you may be witnesses over mankind.
Hence, pray to Allah regularly and properly, give charity and hold fast unto
Him! HE is your Guardian. How excellent the Guardian, and how excellent the
Supporter! 23
23. Had the Muslims but believed in and abided by just this one Verse,
they would never have been in the sorry mess they find themselves in today.
Bring
us back to the Qur’aanic Path, Allah!
