Regret on falling short

Commentary

Allah Allah – how the Holy Qur’aan causes to understand us much obviously that: You should live in the world like humankind. “See! You are not animals. You have a good sense, knowledge and better power of understanding than others. Is it useful to make efforts only like animals but with a little civilized manner, having this understanding, knowledge and sense, while you are created as human beings? As though, it is the only difference among animals and human beings that the animals fulfill their desires awkwardly and they do not make any improvement in the way of fulfilling their wishes. but on the other hand, the mankind finds new ways by searching day by day to fulfill one’s bodily desires and improves constantly, whereas, it should be the job of mankind’s sense that he should not be the slave of his desires. Moreover, he should know own Creator and subject his desires to His Commands.

The Holy Qur’aan causes to learn the same that the human being would have to bring his sense in use for knowing Allah Almighty (The Creator), considering His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) as one’s own Guide and acting upon the commands of Holy Qur’aan. And bear in mind always that everyone would be set before Allah Almighty after death on the Day of Resurrection. And whatsoever, he has done in the world; he would have to clear his accounts of all worldly deeds, whether those are good or bad. The humankind will not get rid of his deeds without clearing them and he will be punished very severely as retribution of his wicked acts.

It is commanded that the person, who does not believe during whole life in it that he will be set before Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgment, evil days will fall upon him completely. The Doomsday shall come; certainly the Day of Resurrection shall come. Those people who neglected it and the Judgment Day reached and overpowered them suddenly, and then they will have nothing but regret, sorrow and repentance.

At that time, they will be wonder-struck and will say: Alas for us, that we neglected it and we did not get ready for this Day! They will be in such condition that the wicked deeds, which they committed in the world and how much they enjoyed to revel by putting the Holy Qur’aan behind their back, they will have been bearing upon their backs; the load of their all evil deeds. Neither they will be able to drop and put a side, and nor throw that burden. On that Day; they will know: How much weighty and heart-breaking is that burden of evil deeds. It will be better for them, if they understand well this matter today.

Do not forget the Day of Resurrection 

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ 29  

وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ وُقِفُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ هَٰذَا بِٱلْحَقِّ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّنَا قَالَ فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ 30

Summary of both verses discussed in the previous lesson is, “Don’t forget the Day of Resurrection (Rising Again after death) by indulging in romances and fables of the world, and believe in the Unseen Judgment Day and the concealed Hell, otherwise it will not be useful for you if you believed after observing them. And the retribution for infidelity and denial in the world will be very severe punishment on the Doomsday.

It is the universal law, according to which, Islam desires to teach the Humankind to dwell in the world. Without understanding it properly, it is impossible to pass the time of this worldly life well efficiently. How much this rule will be cleared and manifested and kept in mind, so much the human being will really be matured, otherwise living a successful life in the Hereafter is not possible.

The mankind wishes to fulfill his all desires without any hindrance. But if he considers that he will be able to fulfill his desires with the help of material things, then it is his false notion, because one of his wishes can never be fulfilled in the world, which is “To live always”. Neither has anyone remained living in the world forever and nor can live. The open consequence comes out from it that the entire things of the world, like wealth and property, power and honor, laughter and jest, pleasure and delight will be kept back, and at last, the human being will begin his next journey, (giving up everything here) which will start after death.

Holy Qur’aan describes that the hearty object of the human being “That should be fulfilled, what I wish”, will be fulfilled but after death and on the condition that he was not slave of his desires in the world. Moreover, he/she should dwell in the world in accord with the Commands of Allah Almighty and believe in it that “If I shall follow the Commands of Allah Almighty and the Sayings of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), instead of following my own desires, then after death, my all desires will be fulfilled in the Gardens (Paradise). And I shall be given such a life, which will never be expire-able.  

 This is the lesson which has made the people to understand in Holy Qur’aan again and again. Such people have been censured in the verses under reference (29 & 30), who say: There is naught save our life of the world, and we shall not be raised (again). Those people have been engaged to fulfill their desires. It has been explained here that this thought is the root of destruction as well as it is against the sense because, while every human being desires naturally that “My all wishes should be fulfilled” and those cannot be fulfilled in this world, then he must be provided opportunity to fulfill his natural desire, otherwise his humanity will not be perfect.

Islam teaches that after death his desires will be fulfilled but not of all. Moreover, only that person’s desires will be fulfilled, who does not want to complete his all wishes here, and acts upon those commandments, which Holy Qur’aan taught him/her. And he/she does not go near those deeds, which have been prevented by the Holy Qur’aan and Sunnah. Such person will live a best life forever after death, and his/her every desire will be fulfilled without any further labor and hard work. Collection of that gain is called “Paradise”, that is to say; fulfillment of every desire.

Commentary

 

It is commanded that their vision does not rise above the unreal things relating to matter in the world. So they are pleased in the deliberation of these things. They do not acknowledge that they will be reproduced after death and a new life will be commenced, after which they will never die.

They can never think to give up the worldly benefits, pleasures and ease of the world for the purpose that, doing so, they will be able to get much, more rest, advantages and delights after death. Their eyes will be opened at that time, when they will be set before their Creator and Lord.

Then they will be asked: Tell! Did you observe some real today? At that time, it will come out of their mouth without any hesitation: Yea, verily, by our Lord! It is quite true. Allah Almighty will command: You could not accept it that I was speaking the truth (in Holy Qur’aan) and you did not obey My Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). So, taste the punishment now, the retribution of that you used to disbelieve.

It has been described here that near to them, there is naught save this life of the world only. They have fully faith that they can never be raised again. Their condition will be visible at that time, when they will be produced before their Lord Almighty and He will ask Himself from them: Say! Was that True or False, which was told you?

They will say: By our Lord! Verily, that entire was true. Allah Almighty will cause to hear His Command after that: You used to consider a useless and self-fabricated matter regarding reproducing after death, whereas Our Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) had described you very clearly: See! If you will not believe in reproducing after death, then tomorrow (on the Day of resurrection), you will be beaten black and blue (punished very severely). Now; while you have seen everything with your open eyes, then you say that “it was real”. Taste the punishment now, you deserved as the retribution for that; you used to disbelieve in the world.

28.  Nay, but that hath become clear unto them which before they used to hide. And if they were sent back they would return unto that which they are forbidden; and lo! they are liars.

Commentary

 

It was described in the previous lesson that when idolaters, infidels and disobedient people will be set before the Fire, their faces will turn pale with fear and they will wish to be returned again in the world, so that they may become and show themselves as believers and obedient servants of Allah Almighty.

Their desires and treaties (of the Day of Resurrection) have been found out in this talk that there is no truth in it. Actually, the matters, which were not acceptable to them in the worldly life and they used to think the plans to hide and press them, have come today (on the Doomsday) openly before them.

And from which doom, pain and calamity they were used to frighten, that they have opportunity during their worldly life to make arrangement for being saved from that disaster, at last, indeed, has come before them today (on the Judgment Day).

Now they have seen the hidden secrets with their open eyes, so they are saying such words only to be saved from it. Moreover, if they are returned again in the world and this punishment is removed from them, then certainly, they will do the same again un-thoughtfully, which they used to do earlier during their first life.

Hence that they are convinced of it: Believe in that, which is in front of the eyesight, don’t care that, which is hidden. This thought has settled down in their hearts and they have become habituated to do in accordance with it only. Therefore, as soon as they will come back in the world, they will be ensnared in its cheer and will begin to act as they used to do in their first life.

It is commanded that it has no any truth which these people are making up stories at this time. The actual subject is that they are in worst condition due to the fear. It is the reason that they are saying as such to save themselves, otherwise, they are still hard-hearted. And if they were sent back again in the world, even then they would return unto that which they are forbidden.

The calamity will be very painful on the Day of Resurrection. At first, it will be said to the idolaters: Call your gods for giving you deliverance from this calamity. In reply, they will say: We were never idolaters. We used to worship Allah (Almighty), but their telling such a lie will not be acceptable.

Then at that time, when they will reach the Door of the Hell, and they will see all hidden things in front, then they will say there: Would that we might return! Then would we not deny the Revelations of our Lord but we would be of the believers. But they tell a lie in this matter too.

27.  If thou couldst but see when they will be set before the Fire and say: Oh, would that we might return! Then would we not deny the Revelations of our Lord but we would be of the believers!

Commentary

 

In this verse, it has been told about those people whose condition was described in the previous lesson, that one Day (on the Doomsday) they will be brought upon the Fire of Hell. They will lose their sense when they will observe Its rapidity, heat and severity. The words, which they are saying today, “Allah is nothing (Let’s flee to Allah Almighty), we gain our end by the support of these worldly things, which are more powerful. We should be thankful to these things”.

“They will forget everything and will have faith that this Fire of Hell is punishment of their wrong deeds, which in the world, they had considered as good deeds. And unspontaneous, these words will come out from their mouths, would that we might be returned in the world, then would we have never denied the Revelations of our Lord but we would have been of the believers”.

It is commanded: O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): If You observe that furious scene, on the Day of Resurrection, when they will cause to stand on the Fire and due to fear they will be about to die, then You (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) will be surprised that they are the people, who had become Namrud, Pharaoh, hāmān, Qarun, Shaddad  and so on in the world. Today (on the Judgment Day), while the entire commands of Holy Qur’aan are being faced by them, then they have been confounded and said, “Oh, would that we might return in the world! Then we would be of the believers”.

Holy Qur’aan has frightened the disobedient people from the Hell and commanded: That is a heap of Fire, in which those people will be cast who do not give any importance to the commands of Holy Qur’aan and Sayings of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), but they try to find errors in it and depend solely on their own will and discretion.

Nowadays, it is the behavior of maximum people that they have been earnestly diligent in fulfilling their own desires and if they are terrified from the Fire of Hell, they say: All of these are self-fabricated words, the Hell has no reality. They should have to know that the reality will appear immediately after death.

Commentary

 

Such people have born among the Muslims in abundance nowadays, who do not care the Holy Qur’aan entirely and Its Commandments. Those people are less in numbers, who seek the solution of current problems in Holy Qur’aan. Moreover, in fact, the Holy Qur’aan has been locked up in the cabinets of some Religious Academies and Masaajid, and it seems that the people have decided at their own that It cannot guide them in the present times. So they think, “We do not argue with Its meanings. We can find the solutions of our current problems only in the present developed nations”. The thoughts of this kind are spreading around openly that either Holy Qur’aan should command exactly in the same way as the Europeans are saying, otherwise,  (let’s flee to Allah), It is an old Book and definitely not applicable nowadays. Some people are engaged in this effort, by observing that the name of Holy Qur’aan should remain somewhere or other, “they would prove by distorting the words of Holy Qur’aan as supportive behaviors of today’s contractors of civilization”.

They think, “If we will not say as the European people say and imitate them not exactly as they are, then we shall be living of nowhere, and shall be removed from the world. Therefore, not only in the politics, but they want to be the same like in their living style as well as in the society also. These people desire to prevent from Holy Qur’aan by their deeds and life style, and as they say with their tongue usually that It is an absurd Book (let’s flee to Allah), so, it is useless to draw attention today towards It. Just like this, they are going far away from Its teachings in their behavior.

Holy Qur’aan says: Wa  hum  yan-hawna  ‘anhu  wa  yan-‘awna  ‘anh. {And they forbid (men) from it and avoid it}. Does this command of Holy Qur’aan not fit exactly according to their behaviors and thoughts? Apparently we people praise Islam and Holy Qur’aan but either begin to quarrel with that one, who tells us its correct meanings or treat it extremely inattentive. Is this not the same situation as it was of the people of Makkah (the idolaters) that, when they used to come to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), come for quarreling and when they used to leave that place, then say: They have only useless old fables. We think that we are gaining our end with the European weapons and machines, and our reputation has been established by their help. Is it not waste of time (let’s flee to Allah), if we leave this certain present advantage and meditate in old and hereinafter Words of Holy Qur’aan? They are the people of old ideas and conservative (true Muslims), who reflect in these matters.  

Is the wine not drunk openly in our country? Are the weak not robbed? Have we not settled our only and biggest object to increase our deposits, wealth and property? Are the theft, fornication, killing and rascality not customary here? Are we not publicizing the sources for spreading the adultery and sinfulness? Are we not choking the neck of humanity by giving the name of art to the dance, music, songs, nudation and nude photography on all kinds of media, which inflates the bestial desires? If all of this is happening then what is there to save us from the destruction?

Commentary

 

The verses and Chapters of Holy Qur’aan used to reveal during special and proper situations, explain and guide the Muslims suitably towards the straightway that in which situation, what they would have to do? The Muslims of that time used to bear in mind after hearing the Word of Allah Almighty and act upon Its Advice. Then the revealed verse or chapter was used to put at its proper place in the Holy Qur’aan, so that the Muslims, who would come after them, may get guidance in their own circumstances, which make to suit the circumstances of its time of revelation to do better for themselves, and act according to the commands and teachings of concerning verse. They should never do against the commands of Allah Almighty, mentioned in Holy Qur’aan and the Sayings of His Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), otherwise, they will be punished just like those opponents, who were punished at that time.

The situation of that time, when this verse was revealed, was that; for twelve years the Messenger of Allah Almighty continued admonishing the people, caused to hear them Holy Qur’aan and described its commandments. At that time, the people of Makkah had been trying constantly, except those who embraced Islam, that: As far as it may be possible, we would have to press Islam, act ourselves against its teachings and enforce others to do so. A facsimile of the condition of those people, which was after the preaching of twelve years, has been explained in words, and kept in these verses of Holy Qur’aan. And the decision, which was caused to hear in respect of them, that also exists with it, so that the people of every time may be watchful and use to think deeply upon their own condition: Whether; is there not the same condition as it were at that time (during the time of revelation of this verse)? If it is, then they should correct it immediately, otherwise they will also be given the same punishment as those people were punished.

The condition of that time was that the people used to listen to the Holy Qur’aan and take it as a collection of useless fables of the old people, and prevent others from turning their attention towards it, and they used to hate personally its way. They also wanted to have firm hold on those habits which their ancestors had learned, and they used to say the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) at the time of joining Him: What have you made this false procedure? (Let’s flee to Allah). It is useless. These idols of us help us in every matter. How can we set them aside?

Holy Qur’aan informed the decision about them that they, the silly people, are making arrangements for their own destruction, and do not know that they will be ruined very soon. Since the next second year of the revelation of this verse, the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was commanded to immigrate from Makkah to Madinah. Everyone knows, what happened with the Makkan people after that. They were disgraced in the world and slain, whereas, they still have to suffer the torment of the Day of Resurrection. Now we should think: What is the condition of today’s Muslims?

Opponents of Islam ruin none save themselves 

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كُلَّ ءَايَةٍ لَّايُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُوكَ يُجَٰدِلُونَكَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 25

   وَهُمْ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ وَيَنْـَٔوْنَ عَنْهُ وَإِن يُهْلِكُونَ إِلَّآأَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ 26

25b.  so much so that, when they come unto Thee to argue with Thee, the disbelievers say: This is naught else than fables of the men of old. 26.  And they forbid (men) from it and avoid it, and they ruin none save themselves, though they perceive not.

25b.   Hattaaa  ‘izaa  jaaa-‘uuKa  yujaa-diluunaKa  yaquulul-laziina  kafaruuu  ‘in  haazaaa  ‘illaaa  ‘asaa-tirul-‘awwa-liin. 26.  Wa  hum  yan-hawna  ‘anhu  wa  yan-‘awna  ‘anh.  Wa  ‘inyyuh-likuuna  ‘illaaa  ‘anfu-sahum  wa  maa  yash-‘uruun.

  

Commentary

 

Which story was started in the previous lesson, has been completed here. Their cleverness has increased to such extent that they meet the Muslims apparently, as though they want to show that, “we have no enmity with the Muslims, we meet and listen to them attentively. But those sayings are not able to be accepted. Those are fables and false stories only of old people”. Their coming unto the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) is also a trick, so that other people should think that they are trying their best to understand Islam. If their sayings were able to be accepted then they would have accepted them, whereas, absolutely their purpose was not to understand, but to oppose You (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).

“When they go out after meeting with you (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) then they tell other people: Do not listen to these sayings, these are (let’s flee to Allah) useless sayings. And they keep their way entirely separate from and against Islam. These silly people do not understand that they are not harming Islam even a little by doing so. However, they are preparing destruction for themselves”.

It is commanded that their presumption has reached such level that they come to you for quarreling and acting like sensible people, these infidels show their opinion: Yes, we listened. It is nothing, otherwise, how could we leave it”? By saying so, they prevent other people from listening to the Messenger’s (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) sayings, and also they run away themselves too from Him. As though; they want to destroy the teachings of Holy Qur’aan by their word and deed, and are trying to remove Islam. But the consequence of it will be no other than that these ignorant will be destroyed at their own and Islam will bud and blossom in the world. So, it happened and their silliness was disclosed to the whole world.
