Lesson
It is
commanded that all oaths and flattering talks of disobedient people are only
for the purpose that anyhow they succeed in pleasing you, but these ignorant
people do not know that to please any mankind is useful only to acquire
facilities for this temporary worldly life. On the Day of Resurrection, they
will have business with Allah Almighty and all works of the world will remain
here (in this world).
If they
have some sense then they should please God Almighty, The Creator. He has
explained the Way of pleasing Him very clearly. And because it is most
important for the human being that he should please Allah Almighty, so He has
made special arrangement for it. From time to time, He sent His Prophets and
Messengers (peace be upon Them) for Guidance, bestowed them His Books and
commanded them: Cause to hear the people by reciting My Scripture and warn them
that they should obey the Instructions mentioned into the Word, so that Allah
Almighty is pleased with them and they may obtain perpetual ease and comfort in
the Day of Resurrection, which cannot be gotten without pleasing the Lord.
At the
end of all Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them), Allah Almighty sent
His last Messenger, Muhammad (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam),
giving him His Word “Holy Qur-‘aan”,
that; if you wish to please God Almighty, you should listen to Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). He explains by demonstrating “how to act upon
it”, so that you may please your Creator.
This verse indicates
that we have to deal with transgressors in this worldly life. We should treat
them with forgiveness and overlooking, so that they may not make the atmosphere
non-livable by spreading their stench and we should continue to teach them that
“Thinking only about this world is not befitting for us”. Moreover, we should
think also about our end on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, it is suitable
to arrange for being saved from the disobedience of God Almighty. Messenger of
Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi
wa AaliHii Wasallam) desired to spread the
same way of forgiveness, overlooking and friendly intercourse according to commands
of Holy Qur’an and His natural
elegance, but the transgressor did not admit it and compelled the Muslims to
fight.
Islam is desirous only
to teach that the life of this world is not the only life, but there is another
life. Therefore, we should think for decorating the both, by forgetting not the
life in the Hereafter being entangled in this world.
