Lesson
This verse is appendix of the previous subject, and in it, the way of
learning a useful lesson from calamities has been described for evil-minded
people. It is commanded that those people who turn away from Islam and who are
convicted of the freedom against humanity, are entangled in big afflictions
once or twice in every year. Sometimes there is famine in the country and sometimes
plague, sometimes earthquake and sometimes a storm of wind and rain. In short,
no year is over without any mishap. It was compulsory that they should have bowed
before Allah Almighty with humility after every misfortune and considered that “everything
is in the possession of God’s Omnipotence. There is no other way save bowing
forehead before His Commandment”. But contrary to it, they become more
disobedient, because they do not believe in Allah Almighty. Instead of doing
so, they think that “there should be any such management; by which; we may be
saved and live with ease and comfort in the world”.
They do not understand that satisfaction of hearts, ease and comfort
can be gotten by having belief in Allah Almighty and trying to please Him
continuously. If something has been acquired by intellectual absurdity, from
it, all human beings cannot get advantage, however, only some people are
addicted to pleasure. But other people, who are plentiful in numbers, remain
struck with regret. Meanwhile, both go to death and then they are helpless from
it, and open their mouths. Their eyes remain opened. Perhaps due to grief,
every individual would be looking at such time that the soul has been leaving
the body, and there is none who may stop it. The proud people remain entangled
in this deception that collectively, their nation has been developing. Dying of
human beings is not a special incident. Thinking about them is useless.
They do not know that death of individuals is also a calamity and the
wise people should learn from it, that; if they are unable to understand, then
to open their eyes, Messengers (peace be upon them) of Allah Almighty and the
Holy Books revealed unto them, exist. By turning towards them, one can know the
secret of existence of the human being.
