وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِى
ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ

And of them (also) are those who say: “Our Lord! Give unto us in the
world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and guard
us from the Doom of Fire.”

Commentary
In the verse mentioned
in previous lesson, recitation was about the individuals who desire only the
world (money, gold, wealth and property). As they don’t deny from Allah
Almighty, don’t believe entirely in the Hereafter also. Their begging, prayers
and requests remain limited only for improvement of this material world. Their
intention of worship is only to reap the advantage of the world. God Almighty described
about the punishment for them that they will not gain any kind of future reward
of virtues on the Day of Reckoning because what they wish and for which they
try, they will get in the world. Now while, they have gotten their object in
the world; then anything will not come into their hands during the Hereafter.
In this lesson, it has
been stated about those Believers who have sound thought and right character,
who believe in the Hereafter, near to them the Day of Resurrection and
punishment on errors will surely happen. So their sight is not only on the
world but that is also on the Doomsday. So, they don’t want the world only by turning
from the Hereafter and don’t do those works; with which they may reap advantage
only for the world, but the reward for the Hereafter is removed. They think
about good results in the matters, behaviors and social lives.
It has been disclosed
from the word hasanatan that the Believer is the Seeker
of the Good in the world as well as in the Hereafter. In the world, he begs for
power to do good works. He demands strength and ability for doing good acts and
deeds by means of prayers and worship, and begs for good fruit of his good acts
in the Hereafter. He desires to take the both (the World and the Hereafter)
with him. He does higher courtesy and fine affairs, and makes provision for the
Hereafter, and prays from God Almighty, “Guard me from the Fire of the Hell,
make room for me in the Paradise and bestow me
the success”. It is a standard of the best individual that he keeps in view the
world and the Hereafter in his life and the affairs of his life, and fears from
the Doom of the Hell.
Bear in mind that Islam has compared the world
and the Hereafter, not coped the religion and the world. Blessed are those
individuals who pass their lives in such a way that their Hereafter is
decorated also along-with it.
