Lesson # 1107 from

Enjoying own lot awhile is prating
Surah ‘TAWBAH or BARAAA-‘AH (REPENTANCE) –
Chapter – 9)
Stage – 2, Verse – 69b of 129, Section – 9 of
16 (Part – 10)
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful
|
69b. Thus they enjoyed their lot awhile, so ye
have enjoyed your lot awhile even as those before you did enjoy their lot
awhile; and ye prate even as they prated. Such are they whose works have
perished in the world and the Hereafter. And such are they who are the
losers.

Lesson
It was
indicated in the previous verses that the people should learn from the
circumstances of those who have passed off from this world. In this verse, it
has been described that behavior and condition of the both (the people who are
existing now and those who have departed), is equal.
It is
commanded that those people who were before you, they enjoyed according to
their wishes with that which they had, and they did never think about the
result. Now you should behold yourselves that; what have you been doing? The
things which have come in your portion, are not more than of them. They were
physically stronger than you. More property, assets and wealth of the world they
possessed than you.
Having everything
less than them, you have been celebrating merriments like them, being ignorant
and intoxicated. Your character is the same as of those people. They had
forgotten God Almighty and His Omnipotence being intoxicated in their power,
strength, property and wealth. Like them, you have also been entangled in the
worldly matters and do not care for the Cause of Allah Almighty.
Then, you
observed: What was happened with them? Their strong bodies, wealth and property
could not save them from the punishment of God Almighty. Being inferior to them
in all these matters, you have also been entangled in the problems of the world
like them. Think for a moment! While even excessive worldly things could not
save them, then how can these a few things save you from the torment of God
Almighty?
Certainly,
all deeds, done by them, were of no avail. Neither anything was useful for them
in the world and nor on the Day of Resurrection. If you wish to see the people;
who have been entangled in loss and scarcity, then observe them. Learn from
their circumstances. Correct your character and fear Allah Almighty.
