Tidings of a painful punishment (2)
Chapter “LUQMAAN”- (LUQMAN) - 31
‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah
from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
And they said to Qureysh: Instead of hearing the stories
of Qur’an, destruction of the folks of Aad and Thamud by
which you can acquire nothing save grief and sorrow, you should hear the tales
of Persian braves, kings and athletes and their love stories, so that ebb and
flow of feelings, demonstrations of excitement and real hobbies of life come
before you because those are very interesting and you will enjoy.
In these verses, after describing about their matters of
ill-manners, it has been caused to understand that nothing is kept in useless
gossips and nonsense talks, that you feel some happiness and enraptured for
awhile after hearing good news of others, or shed tears due to being impressive
from their circumstances of grief, but you got nothing. The real thing is
correction of own life. You attain nothing by wasting your time and spending
strength in useless matters and temporary excitement.
It is commanded: You see that some people prevent others from
useful matters, purchase books of romance and useless tales for entrapping them
in needless works. Their only aim is to teach “how to waste the precious time
in un-employed works” by making the people to hear such stories. In this
manner, they stop others from following the Commandments of Allaah
Almighty, mock the way towards which He desires to guide them and they say: It
has closed the doors of entire matters of mankind’s exhilaration and amusement.
Is it any life in the life that you should recite and hear Qur’an every
time, establish prayer, provide financial help to the needy and worship Allaah
Almighty?
It is commanded: Say to them! Consequence of such life is
nothing save doom; towards which you have been inviting. And that doom is “humiliating
and shameful punishment”. At that time, the mankind will feel! Ah, I was able
to achieve higher grade, but alas! I did nothing so now I am nothing.
Such mankind does not have any interest in the verses of Holy Qur’an.
When the verses are recited to him, he turns away arrogantly and shows that he had not heard them. Say to him: A
painful punishment has been waiting for you. It is tidings for you as a
warning.
Brothers and sisters! Behold! Novels, stories,
dramas, odes, dancing, singing, so-called fine arts, things of exhilaration and
amusement etc. all such things come in the category of mere
pastime of discourse, that is to say, needless matters. And these are bad signs.
Our Lord! Have pity on our condition if we do not have interest in reciting
Holy Qur’an, worship of Allaah Almighty and doing good works.
