Chapter ‘Al-‘A’raaf (The
Heights) – Surah – 7)
‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
In the
beginning of this Surah (Chapter), by addressing the Messenger
of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), it
is commanded: This Qur’an is a Great Magnificent Scripture and
has been revealed unto You, so that You forewarn the entire humankind that,
they have not to live in this world only but, after death, another life will be
given to all of them and that is the actual life. Therefore, they should do
such works which may be useful in that life. Benefits, pleasure and comfort of
this life are for a few days which will end soon. And your all works, done
here, will be weighed on the Day of Resurrection, keeping in view that those
works, performed for the Hereafter, should be set apart from the works, done
for temporary advantage of this world. And if those works are more in weight
then you must be bestowed perpetual enjoyment and rest. But if (God forbid) the
works of worldly benefits have become heavy, then you will come in the grip of
permanent regret and restlessness. Then, it depends on the Mercy and Kindness
of God Almighty that if any fortunate gets rid of it, otherwise it has been
mentioned in the Holy Qur’an that such people will have to be
tormented eternally.
Second reason
of revealing the Holy Qur’an has been described that You
should tell useful things continuously to those who believe.
It is
essential for the human being that he must act in accordance with the
Revelations of this last Scripture. He should not come in the deception or
intimidation of any other, leaving It. Although many people will try to drive
him on their track by claiming that they are friends and well-wishers, but none
of them must be listened to.
After that, in
which notional confusions were the human beings involved with effect from their
birth to date, and which efforts were made by the Prophets and Messengers
(peace be upon Them) to bring them out from them during every era, a brief
outline has been given about all of them. The end of those people has been
shown who did not obey the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) being
trapped in worldly amusements, wealth and honor. In the context of their
stories, precious advice and useful things have been described for our
guidance, from which, the relevant results can be concluded every time. And the
life can be made very pleasant.
At the end of
the Chapter, it has been emphasized that it is necessary for the mankind that
he should know his Lord. Those people who forgot their actual Lord for the sake
of a few days of rest and temporary pleasures of the world and began to
consider others as their patrons and protectors, they were caught in the snare
of Satan.
In regards to “How to live in this world”, it has
been described: Don’t care the saying and hearing of the people. Behave them
with tolerance and forgiveness. But for the sake of any one, neither should you
delay in good deeds and good things, and nor let others to do so. Withdraw from
those who behave you with ignorance. Seek refuge in Allah Almighty if the devil
seduces you. Give ear to Holy Qur’an when you hear or recite
and act upon It. Remember Allah Almighty with true heart and count the beads of
His name with your tongue. Consider yourself humble and weak before Him. Adore
Him only. The Angels (peace be upon Them), Who are a pattern of goodness,
whether they have; how much higher ranks, but even then they bow down before
Allah Almighty.
