Lesson
The Extent of the Knowledge of Allaah Almighty was expressed in the
previous verse, from which it was known that any human being has no power to
frame laws, punish and command the people in the world but as much as Allaah Almighty bestows upon him in
accordance with his extent. Even for making this authority useful, he stumbles
everywhere.
Only Guidance of Allaah Almighty, which He has sent down
through His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), can save
him from destruction, otherwise he continues in close contact with digging an
abyss of ruin only for himself being set apart from that Guidance. His tumbling
down in that hole is beyond the question, if he does not catch the Guidance
strongly.
The same subject has been
admonished in this verse in such manner: the humankind should think! Where do
his powers and abilities of working go, when he sleeps at night? At that time,
neither can he think, nor work. It was discussed in the lesson of previous
verse that the mankind is unable to know about his future.
It has been explained in this
verse: Even he does not remember the work done by him last day, when he goes to
sleep at night. Both things are known only by Allaah Almighty because neither slumber overtakes Him nor He needs
a sleep. He is Attentive every time about every matter. Even that a human being
has not control over himself that he may get up at his own after sleep. Only Allaah Almighty raises him, and until
death likewise He will continue to raise the mankind in the morning and cause
to sleep at night. After death, which should be considered as a long sleep, He
will raise again on the Day of Resurrection and put before the human beings up their
deeds, done by them during the life of this world. Let’s meditate a while in
the abstract of this verse.
It is commanded: Allaah Almighty gathers your presence of
mind from you at night when you go to sleep. Even you forget everything during
sleep about that, which you commit by day time, but He knows your every
commitment. Then He raises you again when the next day begins, so that you may
complete your worldly life. At last the life is over and the mankind sleep in
such a manner that he rises never. But Allaah
Almighty will raise him again and put up before him his entire good and bad
deeds and acts, which he performed and committed in his previous (worldly)
life.
A wonderful map of human life has
been drawn in this verse. Age of the mankind is surrounded in the time limit,
in which he works in the day time and being tired, sleeps at night. He forgets
his entire commitments of the day time. A time will come that he will sleep for
a long time and never will rise again in this world. Then after a very long
sleep, he will rise on a Day and his entire actions will come in front of him. And
he will suffer the consequences of his all actions of the world and will remain
living always.
"Minhaa
khalaqNaa-kum. Wa fiihaa Nu-‘iidukum.
Wa minhaa Nukhrijukum taaratan ‘ukhraa" (From the (earth) did We
create you. And into it shall We return you. And from it shall We bring you out
once again): (The Quran 20:55).
