Deeds Will Be Reckoned

 

Settlement of deeds (L-255)

202. أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا كَسَبُوا۟ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ

202.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ika  lahum   nasiibum-mimmaa   kasabuu.  WAllaahu  Sarii-‘ul-hisaab.

202.  These will have a share of what they have earned. God is swift in reckoning.

We have recited concerning two kinds of people in the previous verses of Holy Qur’an:

1.   Those people who want every kind of success only of the world. Their only aim is to get wealth and property by their all deeds and devotions. Neither have they faith in the Day of Resurrection, nor in the consequences of the second life. So they beg for fruit of their labor and endeavors in this world. These kinds of people will not get any remuneration, compensation or reward of their deeds on the Day of Resurrection.

2.   Who believe in God, in the Day of Resurrection and the next life, don’t pray; only for worldly magnificence as reward of their good works, they perform also the works by which their world and the Hereafter (both) may be good.  They will dwell in comfort during the life of the Hereafter as well as in this world. As though, they keep their both lives at their own places. Neither they sell the Hereafter for earning the world and nor seek the Hereafter by leaving the world. Moreover, they desire success in both lives (the world and the Hereafter). They are eager to be saved from the Fire of Hell. And they don’t involve in such deeds for escaping from it which may cause to put them into the Hell.

The result of these second kind of people has been mentioned in today’s verse. That is to say, “the good remuneration will be bestowed as recompense of these individuals’ good acts”. They will be kept away from the Hell as they wish. They will be forgiven on mistakes and errors. The room will be made for them in the Paradise and they will see that after the life of the world, there is another life also in the Hereafter. Wealth and valuables of the world are nothing against the tastes of that life. Facilities, honor and dignity of the world; all are casual and transitory but comparatively; the blessings of Paradise will be everlasting, peaceful and comfortable.  `   

By saying the word Sarii-‘ul-hisaab, God has warned those people who don’t believe in the Hereafter and supplicate only for the world, that God is Swift at reckoning. The Hereafter is not at much distance. On that Day, they will see that how much they remain in loss due to begging remuneration of their acts only for the world, forgetting the Hereafter.

On the other side, God has pacified those people with this sentence, who believe in the Day of Judgment, and wish to get success of this world as well as the Day of Resurrection. They have been informed that they will get the entire remuneration of their good deeds. So, they should remain steadfast on their passage. At first, God has mentioned the world and then recitation about supplication of the Hereafter has been stated. That is to say, Islam is not against the world, and moreover, it desires that the works of the world should be performed with the concept of the Hereafter.
