God can send Down the doom of every kind

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)

 قُلْ هُوَ ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًاوَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُم بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْقَهُونَ 65

65.  Say:  He is Able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We expound the Revelations so that they may understand.

Commentary

We learnt in the previous lesson that Allah Almighty is He Who delivers the human being from entire afflictions and the humankind inclines unto Him willing or unwilling during the time of helplessness, because his own strength and power becomes useless. Therefore it is natural, if the mankind thinks about any Supreme Power.

It was required that after the condition of helplessness he would have remembered also Allah Almighty and comprehended that only He is Who delivered from affliction, but he does not do so. Moreover either he forgets Him totally, or attributes others too as partners unto Him.

It has been expounded in this verse that if you will not know Him by means of His help, then you should remember: He is Able to send punishment upon you also. Then either will He annihilate you entirely, for instance; by sending dust storm from the sky, rain of stones and thunder etc. earthquakes and floods from the land etc. by which; previous nations were annihilated, or by sowing dissension and separating you in different sects, will cause you to taste the quarrel and enmity among you, and lose your ease and comfort. Consider thoughtfully now upon the subject of this verse.

Allah Almighty addresses His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Declare (upon them who disbelieve)! Allah Almighty has Power to send punishment upon you. For example; dust from the sky, or earthquake from the land etc. or by separating in different sects that you begin to quarrel with one another mutually yourselves.

It is evident from this verse that what happens in the world is to drive the human being towards the Straight Path. Allah Almighty created everything like air, water, rain, heat, cold, day and night etc. for advantage of the humankind and these entire things are useful for him without any doubt. He should know Allah Almighty by observing these things.

After that Allah Almighty sent His Messengers (peace be upon Them) from time to time to cause to engage the attention of human being towards these things and to know Him by thinking deeply in to them and they were given Scriptures, in which entire matters were explained before Them.

It has been explained by the religious commentators that many earlier nations were destroyed by dust/rain storm, thunder, flood or earthquakes etc. but nowadays no nation is destroyed all at once by sending such punishments. However, they will be suffering in restlessness and confusion due to mutual indisposition among themselves and sectarianism, and will be given chance to be correct by thinking.
