Open your eyes

 

Open your eyes (L-2879)

أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَءَاثَارًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍ 21

21.  ‘Awa  lam  yasiiruu  fil-‘arzi  fa-yanzuruu  kayfa  kaana  ‘Aaqibatul-laziina  kaanuu  min-  qablihim.  Kaanuu  hum  ‘ashadda  minhum  quwwatanw-wa  ‘aasaaran-  fil-‘arzi  fa-‘akhaza-humUllaahu  bizunuubihim.  Wa  maa  kaana  lahum-minAllaahi  minw-waaq.

21. Have they not travelled through the earth, and seen the consequences for those before them? They were stronger than them, and they left more impact on earth. But God seized them for their sins, and they had no defender against God.

Waaqin – (the protector),

There is no way except accepting God Almighty if human beings use sense correctly. Usually their thought stops on this point that if the dust-storm will come; dust will spread everywhere, if the clouds will spread over; it will rain, if one will plunder others; he will become rich, if one will get married; the children will be born and if the death will come; then one will die.

It has been commanded in these verses: Those who observe, draw as a conclusion from the circumstances of the world. They behold: Human beings used to dwell in the world before us. It seems from their signs that they had more wealth and were stronger physically than us. What was their consequence? It is known by meditating that they disobeyed the Commands of God Almighty and became proud due to their power. They molested and oppressed weak people, threw good things behind their backs and got ready for doing wrong. At last, God Almighty seized them due to their wicked deeds. There was none who might save them from the Doom of God Almighty. However, He is very Merciful on His obedient slaves.
