Lesson
It has been explained
in this verse that none can die without the Command of Allah Almighty, whether
how much reasons for death assembled. Moreover, death of every person occurs at
its specific time. While the situation is likewise then the people who have trust in Allah Almighty, should
neither be confused from it and nor be disappointed after hearing the death of
any young or old.
The person who
desires the reward of his good deeds in the world, Allah Almighty will bestow
on him thereof; and whoso desires the reward in the Hereafter, He will bestow
on him thereof. For instance; the squad of archers disobeyed the Holy Prophet (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) in the Battle
of ‘Uhud and broke in collecting the spoils of war. Those people
wanted reward of strife and struggle (Jihad) in the path of Allah
Almighty in the world.
Second type of the
people is those who executed the order of Last Messenger (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). For example, the
leader of archers Abdullah bin Jabiir
and his only ten companions (May Allah be pleased with them) saw the enemies
running away from the battlefield and found the Muslims collecting the spoils
of war, but they did not move from their post. They preferred the Obedience of
Holy Prophet (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii
Wasallam) instead of property and material
belonged to this world. They remained steadfast in obedience of Holy Prophet (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) without caring
for the wealth. Reward for this type of particular people is in the Hereafter.
The people who
will remain steadfast on the religion, they will get the religion also as well
as there will be no deduction in their wealth and property in the world, and
they will succeed in the Hereafter too. Allah Almighty will grant them more
rewards; who feel obliged and value the graciousness. Some people become so
blind in the greed and selfishness and lose their senses that their belief does
not remain in Hereafter. They say that they should be paid their reward for
their deeds in cash (in the world); not in loan (in the Hereafter). They think
that it is unknown and not sure to come again to be alive. They want to get the
rewards of their virtues, hardworking and goodness in this world. Such people
remain in severe loss because getting reward in this world is nothing as
compared to the Hereafter.
