Lesson
We have recited about two kinds of the people in the previous
verses of Holy Qur’an:
1.
Those persons who want each type of
success only in the world. Their intention is only to get the wealth and
property from their all deeds and worships. Neither have they faith on the Day
of Resurrection, nor on the results of the second life. So they beg the fruit
of their labour and endeavors in this world. These kinds of persons will not
get any remuneration, compensation or rewards of their actions on the Doomsday.
2.
Who believe on Allah Almighty, on the
Day of Resurrection and second life, don’t pray only for worldly magnificence
as reward of their goodness, they do also the works with which their world and
the End (both) may be arranged. They
will remain in comfort during the Hereafter as well as in this world. As though
they keep their both lives at their own places, neither they sell the Hereafter
for earning the world and nor seek the Hereafter leaving the world. Moreover
they wish the success in both (the world and the Hereafter). They are eager to
escape from the Fire of Hell. And they don’t entangle in those deeds for
escaping from it which may cause to put them into the Hell.
The result of these second kind of persons has been mentioned in
today’s verse. That is to say, “the good remuneration will be bestowed as
recompense of these persons’ good acts”. They will be kept away from the Hell
as they wish. They will be forgiven on mistakes and errors, the room will be
made for them in the Paradise and they
will see that after the life of the world there is also another life in the
Hereafter. Wealth and valuables of the world are nothing against the tastes of
that life. Facilities, honour and dignity of the world all are casual and transitory
but comparatively the blessings of Paradise will be
everlasting, peaceful and comfortable. `
Saying the word Sarii-‘ul-hisaab the God Almighty
has warned those people who don’t believe the Hereafter and pray only for the
world, that Allah Almighty is Swift at reckoning. The Hereafter is not at much distance.
On that Day they will see that how much they remain in loss due to begging
remuneration of their acts only for the world, forgetting the Hereafter. On the
other side the God Almighty has pacified those persons with this sentence, who
believe the Doomsday, and wish to get the success of this world as well as the
Day of Resurrection. They have been told that they will get the entire
remuneration of their good deeds. So they should remain matured on their
passage. At first the God Almighty has mentioned the world and then recitation
about supplication of the Hereafter has been stated. That is to say, Islam is
not against the world, and moreover it desires that the works of the world
should be done with the concept of the Hereafter.
