Lesson
In the earlier
verses, after discussion about Oneness of God, Creator of the Universe and
dignity of the Believers, Allah Almighty told about His Power and Strength, and
commanded that the Infidels and Idolaters ascribe partnership with God Almighty
to the different things due to their foolishness, ignorance and
un-foresightedness. They consider as these things will accede to their wishes,
support them at the times of difficulties, give rewards or prizes to them as
compensation of their worship and believe that these are masters of the powers.
Allah Almighty
asserts in this verse, “Would that! The deniers of the Truth and the Idolaters
would have seen the Doom which We shall descend upon them on the Doomsday.
After seeing the doom, they will say at once that all kinds of powers and
strength, Greatness, Divinity and Magnificence, power of choice and influence
are only for Allah Almighty, nobody can speak or boast before Him. Without Him,
none can help or support any other and everything is humble before Him.
On that Day,
neither the wealth/property of anyone will be useful for him, and nor his
relatives and friends will help him. Every individual will try to run away from
his intimate brothers, sisters, mother, father, wife, children, friends and
relatives; so that he would not have to suffer their doom upon himself. On the
Day of Resurrection, the Idolaters will forget their false worshiped and liar
partners, and they will call “for pity’s sake! God help me”.
During the worldly
life, various types of difficulties and tests descend on the human beings.
Using the sense, every person should deem that this all is from God Almighty
and he should fall prostrate before Allah Almighty learning from these
calamities.
In the Sayings of
the Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) this
humility, indigence and helplessness has been told as penitence and begging
mercy, and supplication as worship. The Messenger of God Almighty (glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him) commanded, “‘Ad-Duaaw-
mukh-khul ‘ibaadah” (Supplication is the Brain of Worship).

166. (On the Day) when those who were followed disown
those who followed (them), and they behold the doom, and all their aims
collapse with them.
167. And those who were but followers will say: If a
return were possible for us, we would disown them even as they have disowned
us. Thus will Allah show them their own deeds as anguish for them. And they
will not emerge from the Fire.

166. ‘Iz tabarra-‘allazii-nattu-bi-‘uu
minallaziinat-taba-‘uu wa ra-‘a-wul-azaaba wa
taqat-ta-‘at bihimul-‘asbaab.
167. Wa qaalal-laziinat-taba-‘uu law
‘anna lanaa karratan- fa-natabarra-‘a minhum
kamaa tabarra-‘uu minnaa. Kazaalika yuriihimUllaahu
‘a’-maalahum hasaraatin ‘alayhim. Wa
maa hum- bi-khaarijiina minan-Naar.

Lesson
Allah Almighty has described
a horrible and dreadful scene of the Doomsday. Would that; the evildoer
Idolaters might think, take it a warning and shun from the evildoing.
On that day; the
liar religious or spiritual guides; who have compelled the common stupid people
to follow them, will leave them who followed them and due to following them;
they had left the straight path. This time will be very frightful and dangerous
for those stupid follower obedient disciples, which their spiritual guides
would have kept themselves aloof from them, the means would have been cut, and
the doom would be visible in front.
The stupid
followers will say, “would that we may go once again back to the (previous)
world and adopt displeasure behavior likewise these wicked religious and
spiritual guides disowned us but then, it will not be possible. Their evil acts
will be in front of them in the form of an afflicted record and there will be
no way to get rid of the Hell Fire.
‘Allazii-nattu-bi-‘uu – (who were followed) ‘It-tibaa’ is
its infinitive mood which means to follow. It signifies towards the religious
and spiritual guides who are followed.
‘Al-laziinat-taba-‘uu – (who followed), that is to say;
the followers, obedient and disciples of their liar religious and spiritual
guides.
