Awaken from the dream of negligence! (L-2800)
By causing to hear the stories of ancient Prophets (Peace be upon them), Muhammad, (ﷺ) is being consoled that the men of old didn’t find any fruit by opposing their prophets (Peace be upon them). Every prophet was troubled in various ways by the people who used to consider that the world was everything. They did never think that after death, they would have to give account of all such deeds which they had been doing in the world. Every prophet desired to cause them to know the same but the mankind didn’t wake up from his sleep of negligence.
The condition of the Infidels of Makkah was also the same. They used to call the name of God Almighty but were worshippers of the idols. Holy Prophet (ﷺ) caused them to understand: Behold! God Almighty has bestowed me His Word i.e. Holly Qur’an, appointed and sent me as a Messenger towards you. I explain before you that you should not worship any other than God Almighty; otherwise you will be entangled in a big misfortune on the Day of Judgment. They said: We don’t accept that you are a Messenger. We just consider that whatever we have been doing; is in accord with the Will of Allaah. And if it is not so, then we ask Him to send His Wrath upon us right now.
This answer was so much heartbreaking. How much the Prophet (ﷺ) would have been shocked by this reply? In these verses, it has been explained: Have patience on their arrogance. They have forgotten their reality. We tell you the story of David (Peace be upon him) by which you will come to know that what is the reality of the mankind. He has been sent in this world so that he must accomplish the orders of God Almighty and consider himself His slave and servant. If he looked at himself and began to fulfill his desires, then surely he left the way which was chosen by God Almighty for him. Now on the Day of Reckoning, the Lord of the Lords will take an account of his deeds and ask: Did you accomplish Our Commandments as you were instructed or otherwise?
David (Peace be upon him) had a high position but he made a little mistake. Then it was caused him to understand and he fell prostrate before God Almighty immediately, admitted his error that he forgot his reality and prayed for forgiveness.
Then it was commanded: You are forgiven. Remember it that We have bestowed you a high dignity in the world. You are Our viceroy, so comply with your duties according to your status. Power has been given to you so that you must judge among the people with justice. Control your desires; otherwise you will be thrown away from the prescribed Path of God Almighty. Those people will be tormented very severely, who leave the Path of God.
We should find out from it that accomplishing the Commands of God Almighty according to own status is compulsory for every mankind, otherwise they will be suffering from torment. One of Sayings from Allaah’s Messenger (ﷺ) is: Every individual is a ruler in his circle and everyone will be asked that how did he rule? This is the summary of whole story.
