Lesson - 2
Brothers and
sisters! The Revelations of the Word of God Almighty are before you. Behold and
hearken that; what are saying its verses? This is the time with us to think
about them. There is no doubt that this respite will be put to end and the eyes
will be closed after death from this side, but will be opened from the other
side. Then you will come to know that, that was entirely true, which was
commanded by Holy Qur’aan. Moreover,
opening the eyes at that time will not be useful. You can gain your end only in
such condition that if you open your eyes just now.
Which sketch
has been drawn in these verses about the consequence of the disobedient people,
certainly that is sufficient for trembling of the heart with fear. Those people,
who are eager to fulfill their desires in this world and do not wish to remain
behind from anyone else in pleasantness of life, for them, the truth has been
manifest in the previous Section of this Chapter.
They have been
told that all things of the world have been created for comfort of the human
being. But you must learn the method “how to use them”. Entire Prophets and
Messengers of Allah Almighty (peace be upon Them), who used to come in this
world from time to time, it was their duty that they would have to teach their
nation about the method of using these things and reaping advantage from them,
because one very dangerous enemy of theirs (Satan) is pursuing them. His only job
is straying the people from that method, for which – Messengers of God Almighty
(peace be upon Them) used to teach them “how to reap advantage from the worldly
things”. The Devil tries his best to mislead the mankind and drown their raft.
He misguides
the people as: You have power of choice and strength, and luxurious things are
before you. Alas! If you do not depend solely on your own will or discretion
and give up relishes of the world unnecessarily, fearing from the notional
things. He says: How foolish you! Who saw the Heaven and the Hell? As desire of
unseen things is useless, in the same way, fearing from them is useless too. What
such happened with you that leaving the cash, you suffer the hardship and
undergo great labor for abstinence?
Holy Qur’aan explains that you should reap
advantage from the pure and clean things of the world with moderation. Be saved
from open and hidden lewdness, wicked deeds, evils, sins, tyrannizing anyone
unjustly, obeying Satan leaving Allah Almighty and having wrong concept about
God. These matters are forbidden for you.
Allah Almighty
has commanded you through His Scripture and Messengers (peace be upon Them)
only for it that you should acquire gain from lawful things with moderation and
escape from the forbidden. If you will not act upon it today and you are died
then you should bear in mind that disbelievers will fall upon entire evil days.
Angels (peace
be upon Them) of Allah Almighty will come before them. They will drag the soul
from their body and say: Tell now! Why did you not obey the Messengers (peace
be upon Them)? Where are your protecting friends like Satan and His disciples, whom
you used to obey? Call upon them to save you from this calamity in which you
are fallen now.
They will see
hither and thither hopelessly and nothing will come out from their mouth except
it that: Ah! There is no sign of them. You must conjecture about that answer at
the spot, which is full of hidden hopelessness and loneliness. We should ask earnestly
just now from Allah Almighty with hundreds of humility that: Our Lord! Save us from this misfortune. Along with this prayer, we should devise strongly too
that we shall live in the world according to that, which is written in the last
Word of Allah Almighty (Holy Qur’aan –
which is a summary of all previous Scriptures) and which has been commanded by
His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
