Lesson
It is
commanded that when the people of ‘Aad
did not obey their Messenger Hud
(peace be upon Him), then that disaster, which had to come, came at its
prescribed time. Prophet Hud (peace
be upon Him) and those who obeyed Him, were saved. Remaining entire people were
ruined.
Allah Almighty
says: We kept Hud (peace be upon Him)
protected and those with Him by a mercy from Us, from that disaster. But those
people who did neither use to believe in Our Tokens and Revelations beholding
them obviously and nor accept Us as their Worshipped, and they were involved in
polytheism (belief in a plurality of God), therefore, We cut their root.
Some one or
other misfortune use to come in the world usually. Some of them are ordinary,
whereas, some are alarming. Dust, storms and earthquakes etc. are customary,
which occur due to mutual pulling and taking away by natural forces. If the
human being does not arrange to be saved from those calamities before time,
then he is annihilated entirely after coming in their entanglement like
lifeless things.
We have come
to know from it that it is incumbent for the humankind that he should adopt
practical managements for being saved from the disasters. Holy Qur’aan explains that production of horrible
accidents is necessary due to either gravitational collision of natural forces
or mutual amalgamation into one another with a specific manner.
Along with it,
the prudent people use to admonish the human beings; the ways “how to be safe
and sound from them” from time to time. But from them; matured talk is of those
individuals, who are called Messengers (peace be upon Them). Their first duty
is that they strengthen the heart of the mankind, so that it should not be
confounded at the time of any calamity. They (peace be upon Them) say: Believing
in Allah Almighty and having complete faith in His Mercy is the actual thing.
That individual
who do not have trust in Allah Almighty and is deprived of the Belief and the
Faith, and instead of it; he has trust in his own strength, own people,
companions, buildings, fortresses and weapons etc. (apparent equipment and
property etc.), and do not act upon the advice and guidance of the Messengers
(peace be upon Them), neither can he be saved from oppressive worldly mishaps
and nor can he remain in peace after death. It is known obvious from this
detail that personal evil deeds of the human being, which are not according to
the Guidance of the Messengers (peace be upon Them), make him victim of the
disasters. And because he is debarred from the satisfaction of the heart; being
a disbeliever, so even he will never enjoy the ease of the Doomsday.
Main object of
learning the lesson from the circumstances of earlier nations, which Holy Quran explains before us, is that the
humankind can escape from the calamities of the world and the anguish at the
time of death, when he will follow the Guidance of the Messengers (peace be
upon Them) of his own life time as now Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) is the last Messenger until the Day of Resurrection. Except it;
there is no any other form of being saved.
