Lesson
It was described in the previous
verses that the afflictions are sent down upon the people for the reason that
they do not obey the commands of Allaah
Almighty. It is the purpose to reveal the tribulation and adversity that the
people should incline towards Allaah Almighty,
believe in Him and obey His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him and His Last Scripture (Holy Qur’aan),
because if they will not do so then they will fall upon evil days.
It is reasonable that they should
think deeply about circumstances and consequences of ancient people, that if we
shall disobey, the result for us will also be the same as they suffered. The
Messengers of Allaah Almighty (peace
be upon Them) came unto them, as well as Holy Scriptures were revealed for
them, even then, when they did not obey, then afflictions, tribulations and
adversities were sent down upon them. The result of ancient peoples’
stubbornness and obstinacy has been discussed in the verses of today’s lesson,
so that the people of present time would have to startle from negligence and
carelessness by hearing the circumstances of those people, who were ruined.
It is commanded that when they did
not learn the lesson from afflictions too, then We (Allaah Almighty) loosened them and opened unto them the gates of
all things like wealth and property, honor and emperor etc. till, even as they were
enjoying their life with open hearts and were rejoicing in that which they were
given.
When they were bestowed with eases
and comfort in every field, then they became fearless totally and began to
consider their depravity and error as a correct path. When they were happy
completely, then Allaah Almighty
seized them suddenly and unawares and they could do nothing. The despair surrounded
them from all around. At last they were ruined. Their stubbornness, obstinacy, bragging
and giving themselves airs, everything was in vain. In short, shame the
wrongdoers.
Allaah Almighty gave them much time to
understand the matter that they should know the Creator and Lord of this world,
and accept their humility before Him. But they remained in their own
haughtiness and did not listen to anyone. At last they were defeated very badly
and the punishment of Allaah’s
torment came upon them in the world and they were destroyed. The punishment,
which will be given to them on the Day of Resurrection, is a separate matter.
