Lesson
In the
beginning of this Surah (Chapter), by
addressing the Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him), it is commanded: This Qur’an is a Great Magnificent Scripture and has been revealed unto
You, so that You forewarn the entire humankind that, they have not to live in
this world only but, after death, another life will be given to all of them and
that is the actual life. Therefore, they should do such works which may be
useful in that life. Benefits, pleasure and comfort of this life are for a few
days which will end soon. And your all works, done here, will be weighed on the
Day of Resurrection, keeping in view that those works, performed for the
Hereafter, should be set apart from the works, done for temporary advantage of
this world. And if those works are more in weight then you must be bestowed
perpetual enjoyment and rest. But if (God forbid) the works of worldly benefits
have become heavy, then you will come in the grip of permanent regret and
restlessness. Then, it depends on the Mercy and Kindness of God Almighty that if
any fortunate gets rid of it, otherwise it has been mentioned in the Holy Qur’an that such people will have to be
tormented eternally.
Second reason
of revealing the Holy Qur’an has been
described that You should tell useful things continuously to those who believe.
It is
essential for the human being that he must act in accordance with the
Revelations of this last Scripture. He should not come in the deception or
intimidation of any other, leaving It. Although many people will try to drive
him on their track by claiming that they are friends and well-wishers, but none
of them must be listened to.
After that, in
which notional confusions were the human beings involved with effect from their
birth to date, and which efforts were made by the Prophets and Messengers
(peace be upon Them) to bring them out from them during every era, a brief
outline has been given about all of them. The end of those people has been
shown who did not obey the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) being trapped
in worldly amusements, wealth and honor. In the context of their stories,
precious advice and useful things have been described for our guidance, from
which, the relevant results can be concluded every time. And the life can be
made very pleasant.
At the end of
the Chapter, it has been emphasized that it is necessary for the mankind that
he should know his Lord. Those people who forgot their actual Lord for the sake
of a few days of rest and temporary pleasures of the world and began to
consider others as their patrons and protectors, they were caught in the snare
of Satan.
In regards to “How
to live in this world”, it has been described: Don’t care the saying and
hearing of the people. Behave them with tolerance and forgiveness. But for the
sake of any one, neither should you delay in good deeds and good things, and
nor let others to do so. Withdraw from those who behave you with ignorance. Seek
refuge in Allah Almighty if the devil seduces you. Give ear to Holy Qur’an when you hear or recite and act
upon It. Remember Allah Almighty with true heart and count the beads of His
name with your tongue. Consider yourself humble and weak before Him. Adore Him
only. The Angels (peace be upon Them), Who are a pattern of goodness, whether
they have; how much higher ranks, but even then they bow down before Allah
Almighty.
