Seekers of good in the both worlds (L-254)

201. وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا
حَسَنَةً وَفِي
الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ |

201. Wa minhum-many-yaquulu
Rabbanaaa ‘aatinaa fid-dunyaa
hasanatanw-wa fil-‘Aa-khirati
hasanatanw-wa qinaa ‘azzban-Naar. |

201. And among them is he who says, “Our Lord, give us
goodness in this world, and goodness in the Hereafter, and protect us from
the torment of the Fire.” |
In the verse mentioned in previous lesson, recitation was about the people who desire only this world (money, gold, wealth and property). As they don’t deny from God, 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 advantage of the world. God describes 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 concerning those Believers who have sound thoughts and right moral character, who believe in the Hereafter, near 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 Day of Resurrection. So, they don’t want the world only by turning from the Hereafter and don’t do those works; by 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 performs higher courtesy and fine affairs, and makes provision for the Hereafter, and prays from God, “Guard me from the Fire of the Hell, make room for me in the Paradise and bestow to me 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..jpg)
