13. Wherein
he will neither die nor live. 14. He
is successful who grows, 15. And
remembers the name of his Lord, so prays,
16. But you prefer the life of the world 17. Although the Hereafter is better
and more lasting. 18. Lo! This is
in the former scrolls. 19. The
Books of Abraham and Moses. |
It is being commanded: The people, who will not obey the Commandments of Holy Qur’an, will be very unlucky. On the Day of Resurrection, such kind of people will be thrown into the Fire of the Hell and tormented very severely, therein will be neither dying and nor living. The life - full of troubles, pains and sorrows will not be a life. So the dwellers of the Hell will not be counted among the living, but they will never die and nor be saved from such afflictions, so they will not be counted among the dead.
After that, it is commanded: Certainly those are successful who escape from bad habits and remain away from pollutions and impurities, purify themselves by taking a bath before offering prayer if it is compulsory, otherwise be pure by ablution, then say “Allaahu Akbar” (God is the Greatest) and offer prayer. The mankind who will adopt the way of purity and elegance; and will offer prayers regularly, certainly he will be successful. But misfortune is it that the people do not care concerning the Day of Resurrection and consider that only the life of this world is everything. Moreover those who give up thinking about the Hereafter and choose this world only, how can they get success? At the end, it has been commanded: This is the Message which was written in the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses (peace be upon them). Now this Qur’an delivers the same Message to the entire human beings.
Chapter Eighty-Seven (The Most High) is over. We have to learn
from it that we should know our Lord, believe in Allaah Almighty and
determine that our style of practice must be as of Muhammad, the last Messenger
of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him),
which is entirely according to the teachings of Holy Qur’an. If we shall
do so, we shall be successful in this world and in the Hereafter (during both
lives). Brothers and sisters! Listen to this Message and admit it
wholeheartedly.
