Giving up bad habit is difficult

 

Giving up bad habit is difficult (L-2993)

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ 9   فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ 10   يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ 11   رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ 12   أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ 13   ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ 14   إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ 15

9.  Bal  hum  fii  shakkiny-yal-'abuun. 10.  Fartaqib  Yawma  ta'-tis-samaaa-'u  bi- DUKHAANIM-mubiin. 11.  Yagshan-naas.  Haazaa  'Azaabun-‘aliim. 12.  Rabbanak-shif  'annal-'azaaba  ‘innaa  Mu'-minuun. 13.  ‘Annaa  lahumuz-Zikraa  wa  qad  jaaa-'ahum  Rasuulum-mubiin. 14.  Summaa  tawal-law  'anhu  wa  qaaluu  mu-'allamum-majnuun. 15.  ‘Innaa  kaashiful-'azaabi  qaliilan  ‘innakum  'aaa-'iduun.

9. Yet they play around in doubt. 10. So watch out for the Day when the sky produces a visible smoke. 11. Enveloping mankind; this is a painful punishment. 12. “Our Lord, lift the torment from us, we are believers.” 13. But how can they be reminded? An enlightening messenger has already come to them. 14. But they turned away from him, and said, “Educated, but crazy!” 15. We will ease the punishment a little, but you will revert.

It is commanded: The people put off carelessly after hearing these Epithets of God Almighty. Some of them are those who are entangled in doubts and who think something, actually they do not desire to believe in Him. Moreover, being involved in fairs and games etc. they do not pay full attention towards useful matters and say: We would have to give up our pomp and show if we believed in Allaah; One God. And our entire jollities will disappear.

After that, it is commanded: Human beings have been involved in negligence. They will startle at that time when the Day of Disasters will come, when dust will spread everywhere and smoke will surround the people; which will be very painful doom, the people will cry in confusion and say: O Lord! Remove this doom from us, we believe.

That smoke will spread everywhere when the last Day will be near to come. It has also been recorded that big famine occurred in Makkah due to imprecation of the Messenger (ﷺ), and due to hunger; the people were feeling dimness. It is commanded: They say so being entangled in afflictions; otherwise they do not learn a lesson. When Our Messenger (ﷺ) caused them to understand clearly, then they said: He is taught, does not have own sense. If We will remove the torment for a little, they will return to disbelief. https://youtu.be/xMTOZWn-TpM
