Lesson
We learnt in the previous lesson
that Allaah Almighty is He Who
delivers the human being from entire afflictions and the humankind inclines
unto Him willing or unwilling during the time of helplessness, because his own
strength and power becomes useless. Therefore it is natural, if the mankind
thinks about any Supreme Power.
It was required that after the
condition of helplessness he would have remembered also Allaah Almighty and comprehended that only He is Who delivered from
affliction, but he does not do so. Moreover either he forgets Him totally, or
attributes others too as partners unto Him.
It has been expounded in this
verse that if you will not know Him by means of His help, then you should remember:
He is Able to send punishment upon you also. Then either will He annihilate
you entirely, for instance; by sending dust storm from the sky, rain of stones
and thunder etc. earthquakes and floods from the land etc. with which previous
nations were annihilated, or by sowing dissension and separating you in
different sects, will cause you to taste the quarrel and enmity among you, and
lose your ease and comfort. Consider thoughtfully now upon the subject of this
verse.
Allaah Almighty addresses His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him): Declare (upon them who disbelieve)! Allaah Almighty has Power to send punishment upon you. For example;
dust from the sky, or earthquake from the land etc. or by separating in
different sects that you begin to quarrel with one another mutually yourselves.
It is evident from this verse that
what happens in the world is to drive the human being towards the Straight
Path. Allaah Almighty created
everything like air, water, rain, heat, cold, day and night etc. for advantage
of the humankind and these entire things are infinite useful for him. He should
know Allaah Almighty by observing
these things.
After that Allaah Almighty sent His Messengers (peace be upon Them) from time
to time to cause to engage the attention of human being towards these things
and to know Him by thinking deeply in to them and they were given Scriptures, in
which entire matters were admonished Them.
It has been explained by the
religious commentators that many earlier nations were destroyed by dust/rain
storm, thunder, flood or earthquakes etc. but now a days no nation is destroyed
all at once by sending such punishments. However they will be suffering in restlessness
and confusion due to mutual indisposition among them and sectarianism, and will
be given chance to be correct by thinking.
