Commentary
Musiibatun – (calamity,
woe, trouble), its literal meanings are misery, distress, accident, chance.
Once the Messenger of Allah Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and peace be
upon Him) commanded that which thing a Muslim feels un-pleasant that is
the musiibat for him. So it is known that this word has many
vast and common meanings.
We have
studied in the verse before it that the Muslims will be tested by God
Almighty through different manners of difficulties, calamities, and troubles
from time to time, the person who will keep perseverance and steadfastness; he
will succeed easily in these tests. So the future consequence of the steadfast
will be better. The token of the patient has been mentioned in the today’s
verse that the people, who say at the time of musiibat (any difficulty) “Lo! We are
Allah’s and lo! Unto Him we are returning”, they are included in the steadfast.
We have learnt three
things in this verse:
1.
We all and everything of ours is the property of God Almighty.
Nothing is our own including ourselves (as we claim that), our entire things,
wives, children, wealth, property, native country, dynasty, body and soul. It
is the cause of grief, sorrow, pain and desire of the human being that he
supposes that his beloved things are his own. When this thought will be
expelled from the mind and it will be considered that God Almighty is the
Master, Possessor and Owner of everything, then there will be no scope for
sorrow, sadness and displeasure. We have to repeat these words in every hard,
difficult, trouble and calamity, “Ours is nothing here. Everything is of God
Almighty and has to return towards Him”.
2.
Whether the sorrows, troubles, pains and difficulties are too
much heavy, all are temporary, mortal, transitory, coming and going. These
entire will end and soon; we would have to attend the Court of Real Master
Almighty, so why should we be afraid of them?
3.
These calamities and tests are not useless by chance. Their
remuneration and reward shall be granted during the next life i.e. on the Day
of Resurrection. The individual, who bore them with steadfastness, remained standing
on the Just and did not give up the real cause, he shall be rewarded due to his
fortitude.
A
person, how much will have strong faith in these fidelity, so much he
will remain in contentment and quiet. We should bear in our minds these
things properly, so that it may become stamped on our hearts. Although the
relation of steadfastness is with the heart but due to saying these words with
tongue, the tongue becomes companion of the heart and the person gets power and
strength from it. It has been mentioned about the Messenger of God
Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) that He used
to recite “‘Innaa Lillaahi wa ‘innaaa ‘ilayHi
raaji-‘uun” (Lo! We are Allah’s and lo! Unto Him we are returning) in
even any most light difficulty, trouble or un-pleasant situation.
