Lesson
Summary of the previous lesson was
that the human being forgets his Creator (Allaah
Almighty) due to worldly desires, greed and selfishness, and these entire
calamities besiege him as a darkness. In these darkness, neither anything discriminates
himself, nor he hears other people’s admonition and nor he asks from anyone
else.
Forgetting own Creator is utmost
negligence. It is true that the desires and selfishness make a mankind deaf,
dumb and blind. It has been commanded in this verse that whenever any
affliction falls suddenly upon the human being, then he loses his sense and
forgets those desires, to which he had made his gods and worshipped. At that
time, he sees nothing except Allaah Almighty.
Then he calls his Creator rash, and if He will, removes his affliction.
It is the form of despair that
whenever humankind either does not find any helper or supporter, or all his
supporters and relatives deny helping him, then he turns toward Allaah Almighty and begs verbally and
heartily. In this situation, entire human beings begin to call their Creator
and Lord Almighty aloud in their own languages.
Allaah Almighty addresses His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him): Say (to the disbelievers)! If the punishment of Allaah’s torment were to come upon you today (Let us flee to Allaah) or the Hour of the Resurrection come
upon you, which is the biggest affliction, then Answer that, if you are
truthful, Would you call (for help) to your these false gods other than Allaah?
Nay, but at that time, your eyes
will be opened and you will begin to call only that Actual God Almighty, Who is
only One Worshipped and Whom you had forgotten. While it is usual also in the
worldly small afflictions, then what can be said about the severest punishment
of Allaah’s torment of the Day of
Judgment? Therefore, that person is wise, who knows Allaah Almighty before time and accepts it that there is neither
any supporter, nor remover of the affliction, whether that affliction is big or
small except Allaah Almighty. At last,
the deliverance from all afflictions, pain and grief will be for such people.
