Commentary
‘
Summary of the teachings of God’s Messengers (peace be upon Them) and His
Scriptures is that there is no other way of mankind’s prosperity, success and
wellness than that he should know his Creator; God Almighty and get ready to
obey His Commands wholeheartedly, and he should not listen to anyone against
Him. He should consider himself Satan or an individual entrapped in his snare
who causes to understand him save this path. And one should reject his word
totally. The easiest way to know Allah Almighty is this, which has been
described in this verse in the form of the Saying of Prophet Shu-aib (peace
be upon Him).
It is commanded that Prophet Shu-aib (peace be upon Him)
said to His nation: Think about it, when you were only a handful people before
now. You had very less quantities of the goods, which you needed for your life.
After that, you became a very powerful nation. Your enumeration of population
was increased very much, and as well as, the stacks of life equipage were piled
with you.
Now you are a rich and honorable nation. You can understand easily from
this improvement that it was a big favor of Allah Almighty, which He granted to
you. If He had not done acts of kindness on you, you would have adopted such
ways, due to which, you would have remained without children and suffered
scarcity of the necessities of life. You should think about those people also
who were before you. They forgot Allah Almighty, adopted bad habits and
corruption spread in the world due to their wicked deeds. Peace and safety was
removed. At last, they were ruined and removed from the page of the world like
a wrong word.
If none of mankind will believe in Allah Almighty, the people will
consider that family breed and financial developments are consequence of
knowledge and effort, then nothing efficacious will remain more, which may
resist the mischief. Everyone presumes that he is powerful than others.
Incumbent result of which is that every individual begins to consider other
people inferior to him and tries to keep them under pressure.
Obviously, no one is ready to remain inferior to any other and everyone
is engaged to increase own power and strength. Resultant, everyone tries to
collect the equipment of destruction for other people in spite of spending his
wealth, strength and attempt in useful humanitarian works and projects. His
wealth and strength is wasted in collection of the equipment of destruction. If
now, there was war, then all were killed. Otherwise if the war did not take
place, then goods for life continued to be less. The point of dying reached.
Finally, both forms can bring nothing save ruin.
This advice of
Prophet Shu-aib (peace be upon Him) is useful, even today too
as it was then. There are own sensual desires only, which resist from accepting
it. Selfish person is not ready to consider other people equal to him easily.
Therefore, he is inclined to tyrannize and trouble others to fulfill his own
wishes.
