(Part – 5)

97. Lo! As for those whom the angels take (in
death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye
engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say:
Was not Allah’s earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for
such, their habitation will be Hell. And what an evil journey’s end.
98. Except the feeble among men, and the women,
and the children, who are unable to devise a plan and are not shown a way-
99. As for such, it may be that Allah will
pardon them. And Allah is Ever-Clement, Forgiving.

Lesson
It is the abstract of above mentioned verses that after embracing Islam
and believing in Holy Qur’an as a Guide, they do not have any sense of seating
calmly. Those persons have been related in these verses with evil-doers, that
is to say; tyrants for themselves, who keep belief in their hearts, but do not
act upon the orders of Holy Qur’an fairly. They are spoiling their own. The
Angels (peace be upon them) will ask from such people at the time of their
death, “While truth of Holy Qur’an was manifested upon you, then why are you
dying empty-handed today”? Why do you not have good deeds with you? Then their
eyes will be opened. They will not be able to compose any reply. Lastly they
will say, “While we were suppressed from others, then what would we had to do?
We did not have power to oppose those people. We were weak, old and helpless”.
Then the Angels (peace be upon them) will say, “What a strange thing? The earth
created by Allaah Almighty was lying
too much spacious. You would have left that land of tyrant people and migrated
to any place of peace. There you could get opportunity to act upon the
religious teachings without hindrance. At this stage they would be unable to
reply because it was their own fault. It has been commanded here that abode of
such people is Hell, which is the worst place for living. However, ill males,
women and children, who neither can think about any plan, nor they know about
any path and nor they are able to work, their apology can be accepted and
hopefully Allaah Almighty will
forgive them.
