Brothers
and sisters! The Revelations of the Word of God Almighty are before you. Behold
and hearken that; what are saying its verses? This is the time with us to think
about them. There is no doubt that this respite will be put to end and the eyes
will be closed after death from this side, but will be opened from the other
side. Then you will come to know that, that was entirely true, which was
commanded by Holy Qur’an. Moreover, opening the eyes at that time
will not be useful. You can gain your end only in such condition, if you open
your eyes just now.
Which
sketch has been drawn in these verses about the consequence of the disobedient
people, certainly that is sufficient for trembling of the heart with fear.
Those people, who are eager to fulfill their desires in this world and do not
wish to remain behind from anyone else in pleasantness of life, for them, the
truth has been manifested in the previous Section of this Chapter.
They
have been told that all things of the world have been created for comfort of
the human beings. But you must learn the method “how to use them”. Entire
Prophets and Messengers of Allah Almighty (peace be upon Them), who used to
come in this world from time to time, it was their duty that they would have to
teach their folks about the way of using these things and reaping advantage
from them, because one very dangerous enemy of theirs (Satan) is pursuing them.
His only job is to misguide the people from that path, for which – Messengers
of God Almighty (peace be upon Them) used to teach them “how to reap advantage
from the worldly things”. The Devil tries his best to mislead the mankind and
drown their raft.
He
misguides the people as: You have power of choice and strength, and luxurious
things are before you. Alas! If you do not depend solely on your own will or
discretion and give up relishes of the world unnecessarily, fearing from the
notional things. He says: How a great foolish are you! Who has seen the Heaven
and the Hell? As desire of unseen things is useless, in the same way, fearing
from them is useless too. What such happened with you that by leaving the cash,
you suffer from hardship and undergo great labor for abstinence?
Holy Qur’an explains
that you should reap advantage from the pure and clean things of the world with
moderation. Be saved from open and hidden lewdness, wicked deeds, evils, sins,
tyrannizing anyone unjustly, obeying Satan by leaving Allah Almighty and having
wrong concept about God. These matters are forbidden for you.
Allah
Almighty has commanded you by means of His Scripture and Messengers (peace be
upon Them) only for it that you should acquire gain from lawful things with
moderation and escape from the forbidden. If you will not act upon it today and
you are died, then you should bear in mind that entire evil days will fall upon
disbelievers.
Angels
(peace be upon Them) of Allah Almighty will come before them. They will drag
the souls from their bodies and say: Tell now! Why did you not obey the
Messengers (peace be upon Them)? Where are your protecting friends like Satan
and His disciples, whom did you use to obey? Call upon them to save you from
this misfortune in which you have fallen now.
They will see hither and
thither hopelessly and nothing will come out from their mouth except it that: Ah!
There is no sign of them. You must conjecture about that answer at the spot,
which is full of hidden hopelessness and loneliness. We should ask earnestly
just now from Allah Almighty with hundreds of humility that: Our
Lord! Save us from such misfortune. Along with this prayer, we should
devise strongly too that we shall live in the world according to that, which is
written in the last Word of Allah Almighty (Holy Qur’an –
which is a summary of all previous Scriptures) and which has been commanded by
His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
