Natural desire of the human
being is that he should know Allah Almighty. However, it is some other matter,
if he becomes indolent due to being involved in the worldly works and business,
otherwise, wherever he got some time for thinking, these thoughts besieged him
there: Who is my Creator? What is this sky? Who did originate the sun, moon,
stars, earth, mountains, rivers, seas etc.? Who does provide me food, water,
clothes and usable things?
The Devil desires to keep the
human being away from such thoughts. His only attempt is to keep the mankind
entangled in the worldly works, relishes and lusts in such a manner that the
human being may not think on these questions. So at first, he wants to stop the
mankind thinking by answering these questions ordinarily and misguides: These
things have been coming eternally as they are and will go forth always in the
same way. You should try only to reap advantage from these things. He says to
the human being: O mankind! Behold! What sorts of and how much relishes and
pleasures are for you in the world? Give up false thinking and try to enjoy the
world.
But there are some such people,
who think deeply about above mentioned questions. For them Satan thinks that
they should be involved in any such difficulty, from which they may not come
out, because the aim is that they may not know Allah (God) Almighty. The Devil
tries his best to keep the human being away from Allah and that Path, which
leads straight forward to Him.
For protecting the mankind from
these tricks of Satan, Allah Almighty sent down the Holy Qur’an, the
actual object of which is that the humankind should recognize Allah Almighty.
So He guides him to think deeply upon the above mentioned questions, while the
Devil prevents him from reflecting into these matters and wishes to keep the
mankind entrapped in worldly life and its relishes, or he teaches that
philosophy and science can be useful in all matters also without Allah.
If we meditate in the previous
verses, we may understand clearly that life of this world is of no value. After
this, the life of the Hereafter is the actual life. The person, who will
recognize it, will certainly believe in Holy Qur’an. And then, the
Noble Qur’an will describe them that nothing has been kept in
the world. The real thing is worship of Allah Almighty and the prayer is a form
of worship. The prayer will prevent him from being ensnared every time in the
world and will open the Way of Knowing Allah. That person, who will offer the
prayer, will understand that it will become difficult to be saved, if he
considered the worldly work everything, and after that there will be nothing
for him but severity and torment.
There is no
doubt that every animate being have to die. While the death is beyond question,
then why should not be died in such a manner that the soul come out from the
body easily and get immediately ease and comfort forever. Those people, who
will reflect in the verses of previous two sections, they will find the simple
answers of above questions very soon, summary of which is: Allah Almighty
created the mankind and the entire things of the world too for his rest and
ease. But the human being has not been born for the only purpose that he would
have been entangled in the world. Moreover, he has been created for the reason
that he should know Allah and worship Him. He should know it as own betterment
of the both worlds, otherwise he is in danger. The end will be the worst.
