Transliteration:( Fa in tawallaitum famaa sa altukum min ajrin; in ajriya illaa 'al allaahi wa umirtu an akoona minal muslimeen )
200. Whose death I should regret. This tells that delivering lecture without
any selfish motives is excellent
201. Here the word Muslim is used literally i.e. one subservient to Allah
Almighty. Says Allah Almighty "And when they both submitted to My
command and the father laid down his son his forehead (S37 V103)
while the conventional or technical meaning of one's word is one who is the
follower of the prophet, especially the follower of our Holy Prophet. In terms
of this meaning a prophet cannot be called a Muslim because they are not
the followers on anyone. Likewise Allah Almighty is literally a believer, but
tecnically it would be wrong to call him a believer.
