Lesson
It was suggested to the disbelievers in the previous verses: Know
through history and by travelling in the land, the consequence of those people,
who rejected Allaah Almighty and His
Laws. The correct method has been described in this verse about concluding the
consequence from the incidents i.e. the person, who will consider thoughtfully
in to the previous and present circumstances of the world, the first question,
which will rise in his heart is, “Who is the Master and the Manager of this world?”
He will find in the history that some revolted people claimed during their own
times that they were masters themselves of the world, and after tyrannizing for
a short time, they were ruined. The travellers can know their consequences by
observing their signs and tumbled down buildings etc.
Then it can be asked: Why does Allaah Almighty not punish the evil doers by holding their ears immediately,
if He is the Master of entire creatures? Answering to this question, it is
commanded: Allaah Almighty i.e. the
Master of the entire creatures has established a basic rule for the management
of the world. As long the world is to be preserved, a separate code of life and
the life’s course will be fixed for every kind of creature according to the
creature. Its basic rule is Mercy. The meanings of “the Mercy” have been
explained in the first Chapter of Holy Qur’aan
“’Al-Faatihah” (The Opening). Here,
it is compulsory to understand that every kind of the creature has its separate
internal competency. There is a Rule to train this ability and make it useful. It
is the demand of every creature’s internal proficiency that everything should
be provided like independence and it’s necessities for its growth and
usefulness. The Law desires that the person/creature, which breaks it, should
be punished properly. But the Mercy wishes that, wherever, there is a shove between
independence of competency and the Law, there, the matter should be overlooked.
That is to say; the necessity should be fulfilled. Complete punishment for
breaking the law should be given on the Day of Resurrection, although some
punishment is given even in this world advisedly.
The punishment, which is awarded in the world, is
at that time, when law-breaking becomes public, and following up the law becomes
difficult for the good people also, whose competency desire to act upon the
instructions of law. So when the other people hinder in fulfilling their proficiency,
then it is the demand of the Mercy that they should be removed from the path of
good people through punishment. It is the purpose that evil-livers are punished
in the world, which is a real Mercy. Prescribed day of complete and genuine punishment
for the law-breakers is the Day of Resurrection. And if, it is reflected, that
is also a straight Mercy, because aim of the Mercy is that everyone should be
bestowed with that, what one deserves.
It has been described in the today’s verse that
coming of the Day of Resurrection is incumbent, and the person, who dies, as it
were gathered for the Day of Resurrection. Thus, in this manner, Allaah Almighty shall be collecting the
entire humankind until the Day of Resurrection and every person shall be
rewarded or punished in accordance with the deeds of everyone on that Day. It means
that on the Day of Resurrection, the soul will be sanctified from the bad effects
of all the works, done by following up own desires against the Law. The soul
would be purified, and after its purification, it may be carried on to its
prescribed place according to its Law. Certain un-lucky people will take very
much time for purification from the effect of following up their wishes. If we
rely on world’s counting, this period of sanctification, has been called as living
in the wrath forever. it is the biggest loss of the soul that it would have to
remain in the Hell always, and it is the punishment, that a human being did not
believe in Allaah Almighty and did not
go Straight Way, prescribed by Him, and followed up own desires. There is no
form to get rid of this misfortune except that one should not give any importance
to one’s own impure desires before the Commands of Allaah Almighty (one should act upon His entire Commands). Such
people will live always in rest and pleasure.
