Introduction of “The Rising of the Dead”

 

Introduction of “The Rising of the Dead” (L-3367)

According to order, this is seventy-fifth Chapter of Holy Qur’an. It was revealed during primary days of stay at Makkah. In this Chapter, “Self” responsibilities of the mankind, reward and punishment of deeds on the Day of Resurrection have been described in such a particular way which cannot be seen anywhere except Qur’an. The aim from the word “Self” is “mind, life, soul, spirit and individual etc.” Actually this is “Mankind”, which has been covered by the body. The soul is in the body, which contains three real attributes – sense, desire and disgust”. Every movement and work of the mankind depends on these attributes:

نفس امّارہ – (Stubborn Soul) If sense of the mankind is overpowered by desire and disgust, that will become “Inordinate Appetite”, which misleads the mankind to commit sins.

نفس لوّامہ – (The Accusing Soul) If sometimes the sense is powerful and sometimes desire and disgust overcome upon it, that will become “the accusing soul”, which reproves on evil deeds when it finds opportunity.

نَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّة – (The Secure Soul): When the sense works correctly, desire and disgust work according to its judgement, then it becomes Self-Satisfaction (in the remembrance and obedience of Allaah Almighty). Betterment of the mankind can be hoped till the time his sense rebukes him on sins. The advice affects to such kind of person and gradually he begins to avoid committing wrong deeds and gets satisfaction of the heart

There is an indication in this Chapter that due to fear of the Day of Judgement, the accusing soul performs its work sharply. Therefore, it is being explained for the same that the mankind will be brought back to life again after death, he will be punished due to his worldly wrong deeds and it will happen on the Day of Resurrection, which shall certainly come. The mankind should not have any doubt in it.

On that Day, sun and moon will not be able to provide light, and before the Light of Allaah Almighty; the eyes will be dazzled. The mankind runs away in the world from the concept of the Day of Resurrection, because this conception interrupts in the delight of his worldly life. But after death, there will be none who may provide him refuge except Allaah Almighty. The mankind forgets own Creator and the Day of Reckoning due to being entangled in personal desires, otherwise keeping the Lord and the Doomsday in mind is not so much difficult if he use his sense, because the person who will understand, will incline to Holy Qur’an. The Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has delivered the Qur’an to human beings as it was revealed; and explained its commandments by acting himself upon them practically. This Qur’an causes the mankind to understand: Righteous slaves of Allaah Almighty will see Him by their eyes on the Day of Resurrection, by which their hearts will rejoice greatly.

The evildoers will be disappointed and their countenances will be seen hopeless. This Chapter reminds the time of death to the mankind; when everyone will be entangled in the agonies of death and at last depart from the world. There will be no one who may save him. Then the mankind has been reproached due to his carelessness: You must not consider that your deeds will not be checked. Surely your entire good and bad deeds will be separated, reward will be given to you on good deeds and you will be punished due to your evil deeds.

What did we learn from Chapter 74

 

What did we learn from Chapter 74 (L-3366)

Chapter “MUDDASSIR” – (The Cloaked One) - 74

It has been taught in this Chapter that conveying the Message of Islam to the entire human beings of the world is necessary for the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and after him the scholars of the nation. For this purpose, the Muslims should produce five attributes into themselves:

1.   Expose by your tongues and deeds that Allaah is the Greatest. You must neither fear any other than Him and nor ask someone for something.

2.   Keep your body, clothes and more than all other things your hearts (in short your outward appearance and inward qualities) pure and clean.

3.   Remain away from impure and filthy works and affairs. The most impure and bad thing is ascribing plurality to Allaah Almighty. Therefore, first of all you must abstain from it.

4.   Keep your spirit and intention high. Do not oblige on someone; expecting that he will benefit you in future more than your favor. It aims that one should do good for others, not for personal advantage but for acquiring pleasure of Allaah Almighty.

5.   Bear difficulties and pains with patience for the sake of Allaah Almighty which you confront in the obedience of His Commands.

It turned out that the work of preaching cannot be performed as it is required to be performed without adopting above mentioned five things.

For their explanation, it has been commanded: There is a need of frightening the people from the Day of Resurrection that deniers of Allaah Almighty will be suffering from severe afflictions on that Day. Allaah Almighty has described clearly that the people who deny Him, His Word (Holy Qur’an) and the Day of Resurrection due to pride of their wealth, sons and worldly things, He shall torment them certainly on the Doomsday. You must do your work without thinking about them. Doom of the Hell is ready for them, arrangement of which is in the Hands of the angels (peace be upon them). Which form of arrangement has been explained here, is for examining the people. Good people will accept it without arguing, but wicked people will criticize in various ways that “why this arrangement has been made in such manner”. Say to them: That is entirely correct whatever has been described concerning the Doom of the Hereafter and the Hell etc. Now “As you sow so you shall reap”. Only such people will be in ease and peace who obeyed the Commands of Allaah Almighty. Those will be dwellers of the Hell who ignored establishing prayer, fasting, paying the poor-due, alms and charity. Instead of doing good works, they would have remained busy in worldly works and amusements wholeheartedly.

The mankind should listen to Holy Qur’an, understand its meanings and live according to its commandments, without making excuses of disbelieving in it and changing the meanings of clear Commands according to own desire. Guidance is in the Hand of Allaah Almighty. Everyone should fear Him and ask forgiveness from Him only.

What has happened with the people? (L-3365)

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ 49  كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ 50  فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ 51  بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً 52  كَلَّا بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ 53  كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ 54  فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ 55  وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ 56

49.  Famaa  lahum  'anit-tazkirati  mu'-riziin. 50.  Ka-‘annahum  humurum-mustanfirah. 51.  Farrat  min-  qaswarah. 52.  Bal  yuriidu  kullum-ri-'im-minhum  ‘any-yu'-taa  suhufam- munash-sharah. 53.  Kallaa.  Bal-laa  yakhaa-fuunal-‘Aakhirah. 54.  Kallaaa  ‘innahuu  tazkirah. 55.  Faman-shaaa-'a  zakarah. 56.  Wa  maa  yazkuruuna  ‘illaaa  ‘any-yashaaa-'Allaah.  Huwa  ‘Ahlut-Taqwaa  wa  ‘Ahlul-Magfirah. (Part Three-Fourth) (Section 2/16)

49. Why now turn they away from the Admonishment, 50. As they were frightened asses 51. Fleeing from a lion? 52. Nay, but everyone of them desires that he should be given open pages (from Allah). 53. Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter. 54. Nay, verily. Lo! This is an Admonishment. 55. So whosoever will may heed. 56. And they will not heed unless Allah wills (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.

It is commanded: These people do not wish to hear the verses of Holy Qur’an; but run away after hearing the Word of Allaah Almighty; as wild asses gallop after hearing the roar of any lion or noise of hunters. The matter is it that every individual from them desires to be a Messenger and that the Scriptures must be revealed to him or at least the Command of Allaah Almighty must come to him directly that he should believe in the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). They do not fear the seizure of the Day of Judgement. Even they do not believe in the Day of Resurrection.

O People! Give up such nonsense. The Holy Qur`an is a reminder, guidance and advice for every mankind. What if it has been revealed on One? Whoever wills; must obey its commandments and reap advantage. But only they will accept it to whom Allaah Almighty wills and guides. Only He is Worthy of fear and Adequate for granting forgiveness.

Importance of the action (L-3364)

كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ 38  إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ 39  فِى جَنَّٰتٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ 40 عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ 41  مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ 42  قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ 43  وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ 44  وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ 45  وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ 46  حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ 47  فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ 48

38.  Kullu  nafsim-  bimaa  kasabat  rahiinah. 39.  ‘Illaaa  ‘As- haabal-yamiin. 40.  Fii  Jannaatiny-yata-saaa-'aluun. 41.  'Anil-mujrimiin. 42.  Maa  salakakum  fii  Saqar. 43.  Qaaluu  lam  Naku  minal-Musalliin. 44.  Wa  lam  Naku  nut-'imul-miskiin. 45.  Wa  kunnaa  nakhuudu  ma-'al-khaaa-'iziin. 46.  Wa  kunnaa  nukazzibu  bi-Yawmid-Diin. 47.  Hattaaa  ‘ataanal-yaqiin. 48.  Famaa  tanfa-'uhum  shafaa-'atush- shaafi-'iin.

38. Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds; 39. Save those who will stand on the right hand. 40. In gardens they will ask one another 41. Concerning the guilty: 42. What has brought you to this burning? 43. They will answer: We were not of those who prayed 44. Nor did we feed the wretched. 45. We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders, 46. And we used to deny the Day of Judgment, 47. Till the Inevitable came unto us. 48. The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.

It is commanded: Every mankind has been involved in any work, result of which will come before them certainly. They are prisoners of their deeds, from which they cannot get rid of. Anyhow, the people who chose the Right Path determined by Allaah Almighty for them; care of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), they will be free from any seizure on the Day of Resurrection and will dwell in the Gardens independently. When they will see the Hellish people in the Hell, they will ask from them: What did you do wrong due to which you are entangled Today in such calamity? They will reply: We enjoyed worldly life with our wealth, did neither care for saying prayer in the world and nor helped the needy. We considered that the Day of Resurrection would never come. And we were involved in worldly matters along with other disbelievers, even that we died.

They are such people who will not be able to reap advantage from the intercession of any intercessor or the recommendation by someone else.

Guidance and depravity in the same thing

 Guidance and depravity in the same thing (L-3363)

كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ 31b (ع) كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ 32  وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ 33  وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ 34  إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ 35  نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ 36  لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ 37

31b.  Kazaalika  yuzillUllaahu  many-yashaaa-'u  wa  yahdii  many-yashaaa'.  Wa  maa  ya'-lamu  junuuda  Rabbika  ‘illaa  Huu. Wa  maa hiya  ‘illaa  zikraa  lil-bashar. (Section 1/15) 32.  Kallaa  wal-Qamar. 33.  Wallayli  ‘id-z  ‘adbar. 34.  Was-Sub-hi  ‘izaaa  ‘asfar. 35.  ‘Innahaa  la-‘ihdal-kubar. 36.  Naziiral-lil-bashar. 37.  Liman  shaaa-'a  minkum  ‘any-yata-qaddama  ‘aw  yata-‘akh-khar.

31b.  Thus Allah sends astray whom He will, and whom He will He guides. None knows the hosts of your Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals. 32. Nay, by the Moon 33. And the night when it withdraws 34. And the dawn when it shines forth, 35. Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents) 36. As a warning unto men, 37. Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.

It is commanded: Allaah Almighty describes the Truth and the Reality in the verses of Holy Qur’an, which separate the true and the false. Believers say: We believe that it is true, whether we understand or do not understand, because Allaah Almighty has said that it is true. Allaah Almighty has shown Right Path to such people. But those who do not believe, they dispute and say: Our senses do not accept it. They are the people who are misled. This way, the same verse is guidance for some people and it becomes cause of going astray for some people. 

After that it is commanded: Armies of Allaah Almighty cannot be counted by any individual, however He knows very well. From them there is mention of the Hell and its wardens, so that the people should fear the wrath of Allaah Almighty after hearing. Doubts of the people are useless.  The fact is that the Day of Judgement is one of the most terrifying and frightening things. Really, every sensible adult should be afraid of this. Meditate on the condition of the moon in the world if you have any doubt in coming of that Day. Its increasing and decreasing will inform you that this world also is visible good and expanded, which will be ruined on a Day. Like this coming of a brightening day after the dark night tells that the reality of the world, which presently is hidden, will appear clearly on a Day.
