Long For Death

 

Longing for death (L-123)

قُلْ إِن كَانَتْ لَكُمُ ٱلدَّارُ الآخِرَةُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَالِصَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا۟ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ 94.

94.  Qul  ‘in-kaanat lakumud-Daarul-‘Aakhiratu    ‘indAllaahi    khaalisatam-min-duunin-naasi  fatamannawul-mawta  ‘in-kuntum  saadiqiin.

94.  Say (unto them): If the abode of the Hereafter in the providence of Allah is indeed for you alone and not for others of mankind (as you pretend), then long for death (for you must long for death) if you are truthful.

God Almighty has refuted another fidelity of the Children of Israel also in this verse. It has been described earlier that the Children of Israel were standing firm on their self forged and false faiths. One, from them was that, only they will go into the Garden after death and they will be alone heirs of the Paradise. Except them, neither any other individual/ nation of the world will be forgiven and nor will enter the Paradise.

Allaah Almighty has proved their self invented and false belief by very simple understandable argument that it was wrong. The Children of Israel have been told by means of the Last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, peace and blessings be upon him) that, if they were true in their claim that they were alone heirs of the Heaven and they would enter the Paradise certainly, then they should show long for death, because the individual, who believes that after death, he will certainly enter the Paradise, he would not have any fear of death. There are many difficulties and calamities in this world, and in the Paradise, there are every kind of favors, blessings and facilities. So the person, who claims that he is an heir of the Paradise, he should long to confront that world (the Day of Resurrection) for good, to leave this world as soon as possible, so that, he may get a comfortable life for ever after getting rid of these calamities and difficulties.

This very reason has been produced for the Children of Israel that if they believe really that the Paradise is only for them, and except them, none other will enter into it, then they should show to long for death if they are truthful.
