The Messengers And Their Followers

 

 No soul can die except by God’s leave (L-466)

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَن تَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ كِتَٰبًا مُّؤَجَّلًا وَمَن يُرِدْ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهِۦمِنْهَا وَمَن يُرِدْ ثَوَابَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ نُؤْتِهِۦ مِنْهَا وَسَنَجْزِى ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ 145.

145.  Wa  maa  kaana  li-nafsin  ‘an- tamuuta  ‘illaa  bi-‘izNillaahi  ki-taabam-mu-‘ajjalaa. Wa  many-yurid  sa-waabad-dunyaa  nu’-tihii  minhaa. Wa many-yurid  sa-waabal-‘Aakhirati  nu’-tihii  minhaa. Wa  sanaj-zish-Shaakiriin.

145.  No soul can die except by God’s leave, at a predetermined time. Whoever desires the reward of the world, We will give him some of it; and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter, We will give him some of it; and We will reward the appreciative.

It has been described in this verse that none can die without the order of God, whether sufficient reasons of death have been gathered. Moreover, death of every person occurs at its specific time. If the situation is as it is, then the people who have trust in God; should neither fear from it and nor be disappointed after hearing the death of any younger or elder.

The person who desires reward of his good deeds in the world, God will bestow on him thereof; and whoso desires the reward in the Hereafter, He will bestow on him thereof. For instance; the squad of archers disobeyed the command of Holy Messenger (ﷺ) in the Battle of ‘Uhud and broke in collecting the booty. Those people wanted reward of strife and struggle (Jihad) in the path of God in this world. Second type of the people is those who executed the order of the Messenger (ﷺ). For instance, Commander of archers Abdullah bin Jabiir and his only ten companions (archers) saw the enemies running away from the battlefield and found the Muslims collecting the booty, but they did not leave their post. They preferred the Obedience of Holy Prophet (ﷺ) instead of collecting spoils and material belonging to this world. They remained steadfast in obedience of Holy Prophet (ﷺ) without caring for the booty. Reward for this type of particular people is in the Hereafter.

The people who will remain steadfast upon the religion, they will get the religion also as well as there will be no deduction in their wealth and property in the world, and they will succeed in the Hereafter too. God will grant them more rewards who feel obliged and value the graciousness. Some people become so blind in the greed and selfishness and lose their senses that their belief does not remain in the Hereafter. They say that they should be paid their reward for their deeds in cash (in the world) not a loan (in the Hereafter). They think that it is unknown and not sure whether they would come again to life or otherwise. They want to get rewards of their virtues, hardworking and goodness in this world. Such people remain in severe loss because getting reward in this world is nothing as compared to the Hereafter.
