1241 If a community suffers voluntary exile on account of persecution and oppression, and some of its weaker brethren stay
behind, holding fast to faith but not prepared for the higher sacrifice, the exiles have still a duty to help their weaker
brethren in matters of religion. The exiles, being at open war against the State which oppressed them, would be free
to fight against such State. But if the weaker brethren are in a State in mutual alliance with the Community, the
Community cannot in honour interfere with that State, whether it is Muslim or not. Presumably the alliance implies that
the grievances of the weaker brethren will be redressed by the State itself. But it is not honourable to embarrass your
own ally. (8.72)
ADORE:
2:21- O ye people! adore your Guardian-Lord who created you and those who came before you that
ye may have the chance to learn righteousness. 40
40 For Taqwa see ii. 2 n. 26. I connect this dependent clause with "adore, etc." above, though it could be connected with
"created". According to my construction the argument will be as follows. Adoration is the act of the highest and
humblest reverence and worship. When you get into that relationship with God, Who is your Creator and Guardian,
your faith produces works of righteousness. It is a chance given you: will you exercise your free will and take it? If
you do, your whole nature will be transformed. (2.21)
41 Further proofs of God's goodness to you are given in this verse. Your whole life, physical and spiritual, depends upon
Him. The spiritual is figured by the Canopy of Heaven. The truth has been brought plainly before you. Will you still
resist it and go after false gods, the creation of your own fancy? The false gods may be idols, supersititions, Self, or
even great or glorious things like Poetry, Art, or Science, when set up as rivals to God. They may be pride of race,
pride of birth, pride of wealth or position, pride of power, pride of learning, or even spiritual pride. (2.22)
25:60 - When it is said to them "Adore ye (Allah) Most Gracious!" they say "And what is (Allah)
Most Gracious? Shall we adore that which thou commandest us?" and it increases their flight
(from the Truth). 3120
3120 Those who have no spiritual Light cannot understand this precept about putting all our trust in Allah. It seems to them
foolish. They have no faith, or but a superficial faith. They may possibly take the name of Allah on their lips, but they
cannot understand the full significance of His title of Rahman (Most Gracious). Perhaps they are afraid on account of
their sins; perhaps they do not see how unbounded is the mercy of Allah. Such men are contrasted against the true
servants of Allah, who are described below in xxv. 63-75. (25.60)
25:64 - Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing; 3124
3124 Humble prayer brings them nearer to Allah. (25.64)
41:37 - Among His Signs are the Night and the Day and the sun and moon. Adore not the Sun and
the Moon but adore Allah Who created them if it is Him ye wish to serve. 4508
4508 Night and Day are opposites, and yet, by the alchemy of Allah, they can both subserve the purpose of human good,
because the Night can give rest while the Day can promote activity. The Sun and the Moon are similarly
complementary. So, in moral and spiritual affairs, seeming opposites may by Allah's alchemy be made to subserve
the purposes of Good. They are but instruments: Allah is the Cause. Adore Allah, and not the things which He has
created. Use the things which He has created, but do not adore them. (41.37)
106:3 - Let them adore the Lord of this House 6278
55:6 - The stars and the trees adore.
22:77 - O ye who believe! bow down prostrate yourselves and adore your Lord; and do good; that
ye may prosper. 2860
53:62 -But fall ye down in prostration to Allah and adore (Him)! 5126
5126 And so we are invited to prostrate ourselves and adore Him. For this is the true end of Revelation and the true attitude
when we understand the world, Nature, History and the working of Allah's Plan. (53.62)
