Commentary
It is commanded that the human being, being entangled in the worldly
matters, becomes careless to this extent that he does not pay attention unto
Allah Almighty. Due to this negligence, many nations were destroyed and ruined
by the torment of Allah Almighty. If some of them believed in Allah Almighty,
they believed at such time when really the torment had fallen suddenly upon
them.
However, an example of the folk of Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him)
exists, that; as soon as those people observed tokens of torment prior to its occurrence;
they understood that Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him) spoke the truth, that if
they would not believe in Allah Almighty, His torment would descend upon them.
Looking unusual tokens of hurricane and violent storm in the sky, they all ran
to search Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him), but they could not find Him.
At last they all went to jungle along with their families and pet
cattle, accepted their errors by shedding tears and repented because they were
really sorrowful for sins; and believed in Allah Almighty with true hearts. Due
to their bewailing, the torment was withdrawn from them. And they were saved
from disgrace of destruction and ruin. Then they were obedient servants of
Allah Almighty and became rich of God’s blessings. So they passed their worldly
life with success.
Story of Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him) will come in Surah
Saaf-faat (Chapter 37). The aim from telling only a little; here; is that
other all folks overcame with carelessness so much that till the time the
torment did not come unexpectedly upon them; they did not believe. Only the
folk of Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him) is such nation which repented
immediately from disobedience of Allah Almighty as soon as they saw the portent
of torment, and believed wholeheartedly.
Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him) had said to His nation being
distressed: the torment will come upon you after three days. Saying this, He
(peace be upon Him) flew away from that territory. It all happened after His
(peace be upon Him) departure.
