قُلْ أَرَءَيْتَكُمْ إِنْ أَتَىٰكُمْ عَذَابُ ٱللَّهِ أَوْ أَتَتْكُمُٱلسَّاعَةُ أَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ تَدْعُونَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ 40
بَلْ إِيَّاهُ تَدْعُونَ فَيَكْشِفُ مَا تَدْعُونَ إِلَيْهِ إِن شَآءَ وَتَنسَوْنَ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ 41

40. Say: Can ye see yourselves, if the punishment
of Allah’s torment were to come upon you or the Hour come upon you.
Would ye then call (for help) to any other than Allah? (Answer that) if
ye are truthful.
41. Nay, but unto Him ye call, and He removeth the
affliction for which ye call unto Him if He will, and ye forget whatever
partners ye set up (unto
Him).

Commentary
Summary of the previous lesson
was that the human being forgets his Creator (Allah Almighty) due to
worldly desires, greed and selfishness, and these entire calamities besiege him
as a darkness. In these darkness, neither anything discriminates himself, nor
he hears other people’s admonition and nor he asks from anyone else.
Forgetting own Creator is
utmost negligence. It is true that the desires and selfishness make a mankind
deaf, dumb and blind. It has been commanded in this verse that whenever any
affliction falls suddenly upon the human being, then he loses his sense and forgets
those desires, to which he had made his gods and worshipped. At that time, he
sees nothing except Allah Almighty. Then he calls his Creator
rash, and if He will, removes his affliction.
It is the form of despair that
whenever humankind either does not find any helper or supporter, or all his
supporters and relatives deny helping him, then he turns toward Allah Almighty
and begs verbally and heartily. In this situation, entire human beings begin to
call their Creator and Lord Almighty aloud in their own languages.
Allah Almighty addresses
His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Say (to the
disbelievers)! If the punishment of Allah’s torment were to come upon you
today (Let us flee to Allah) or the Hour of the Resurrection come upon
you, which is the biggest affliction, then Answer them! if you are truthful,
Would you call (for help) to your these false gods other than Allah?
Nay, but at that time, your
eyes will be opened and you will begin to call only that Actual God Almighty,
Who is only One Worshipped and Whom you had forgotten. While it is usual also
in the worldly small afflictions, then what can be said about the severest
punishment of Allah’s torment of the Day of Judgment? Therefore, that
person is wise, who knows Allah Almighty before time and accepts it
that there is neither any supporter and nor remover of the affliction, whether
that affliction is big or small except Allah Almighty. At last, the
deliverance from all afflictions, pain and grief will be for such people.
