Lesson
‘Al-‘Aakhirati –
means “the next life; coming after death”. It is called ‘Ad-Daarul- ‘Aakhirah in Holy Qur’an and Yawmul- ‘Aakhirah also.
Yuuqinuun –
(they believe). This word has been derived from ‘Iiqaan,
which has come out from yaqiin. Yaqiin (Belief) is the
Knowledge, which has been obvious by the proof as much that no room for doubts
and suspicions has remained.
This world is “a place of striving”. That is to say; such
life, after which, the time of practice is over. The world coming after this
life is called “the place of Requital” in which; every person will be rewarded
or punished according to his every act and deed, he performed or committed in
this world. There is no doubt that we get retaliation in terms of events in
this world but sometimes, it happens that the people are not rewarded or
punished fully. The individuals with Good deeds are deprived of getting rewards
and wrongdoers are saved from the punishment. Whereas, the justice demands that
any act of any person must not be left without retaliation. So, God Almighty
has fixed a Day on which; every human being and every nation will get its
reward or punishment in full; against every good or bad act. Hence, believing
in a sustainable future of this world for reward and punishment is an important
component of a true religion.
It has been cleared also that the Hereafter has strong
relation with this world. That life will be the result of our deeds, we do in
this world. Therefore, it is the attribute of the pious people that they get
satisfaction before starting any work; whether the work, they are going to do,
is not against the heavenly teachings and guidance of God Almighty in terms of
the future and the result?
God Almighty has given us full liberty of selection
and power of choice for deeds and acts. We have many ways to reach the
destination. But we have to choose the path about which Allah Almighty has
guided us. If the belief regarding the end of this world, rewards or
punishments according to good or bad deeds – is kept in view by us every time,
then it is sure that we shall remain firm on the path of the Truth and
temperance in this worldly life. We should mould our lives according to the
principles of Holy Qur-‘aan, so
that; we may acquire much pleasant results from it and we may succeed in the
both worlds. The person, who has not faith in liability of his acts,
calculation of good and bad deeds and their results, he will never correct his
deeds.
