Lesson
Punishment for the usurer has been described
after forbidding from devouring the usury that his last abode would be Fire of
Hell, which is in fact for the disbelievers. It revealed that a usurer would
also be produced in the Court of Allah Almighty as criminal likewise a
disbeliever. Therefore, Muslims should escape from the curse of usury/interest,
and pass their lives as the temperate.
Then it has been commanded to obey Allah Almighty
and His Last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
This obedience becomes cause of mercy upon them. To execute the command of
Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is just like carrying
out the Order of Allah Almighty, because it is the Order of Allah Almighty that
you would have to obey perfectly the commands of the Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him). Some Muslims disobeyed the instructions of
the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in the Battle of ‘Uhud, which endangered their victory.
Therefore, it has been admonished, “Do not fall short and do not commit a
mistake as such in future. If you will obey Allah Almighty and His Messenger,
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) then you will find mercy of
Allah Almighty. Doing so, the doors of success and betterment will be opened
for you”.
It is being commanded in the third verse of this
lesson, “Vie one with another for forgiveness from your Lord. (Labor too hard towards
the good deeds and fine manners, for which Allah Almighty and His Messenger,
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has commanded you. If you will
pass your lives in God-fearing and control of the passions then after death
from this mortal world, your last residence will be Paradise, which is as wide
as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who ward off (evil). The
human being cannot think vaster than the space of heavens and the earth
collectively. Therefore, width of Paradise has been illustrated by a simile of
the space of heavens and the earth.
The difference in the result of a usurer and obedient
humankind of Allah Almighty has been revealed that one of them is disgraced in
the world as well as he will be fuel of hell-fire on the Day of Resurrection.
The other person, who is obedient, passes his life with honor and he will be
entitled to live in the beautiful gardens of Paradise on the Doomsday.
