Commentary

Summary of the teachings of
God’s Messengers (peace be upon Them) and His Scriptures is that there is no
other way of mankind’s prosperity, success and wellness than that he should
know his Creator; God Almighty and get ready to obey His Commands
wholeheartedly, and he should not listen to anyone against Him. He should
consider himself Satan or an individual entrapped in his snare who causes to
understand him save this path. And one should reject his word totally. The
easiest way to know Allah Almighty is this, which has been described in this
verse in the form of the Saying of Prophet Shu-aib (peace be
upon Him).
It is commanded that
Prophet Shu-aib (peace be upon Him) said to His nation: Think
about it, when you were only a handful people before now. You had very less
quantities of the goods, which you needed for your life. After that, you became
a very powerful nation. Your enumeration of population was increased very much,
and as well as, the stacks of life equipage were piled with you.
Now you are a rich and
honorable nation. You can understand easily from this improvement that it was a
big favor of Allah Almighty, which He granted to you. If He had not done acts
of kindness on you, you would have adopted such ways, due to which, you would
have remained without children and suffered scarcity of the necessities of
life. You should think about those people also who were before you. They forgot
Allah Almighty, adopted bad habits and corruption spread in the world due to
their wicked deeds. Peace and safety was removed. At last, they were ruined and
removed from the page of the world like a wrong word.
If none of mankind will believe
in Allah Almighty, the people will consider that family breed and financial
developments are consequence of knowledge and effort, then nothing efficacious
will remain more, which may resist the mischief. Everyone presumes that he is
powerful than others. Incumbent result of which is that every individual begins
to consider other people inferior to him and tries to keep them under pressure.
Obviously, no one is ready to
remain inferior to any other and everyone is engaged to increase own power and
strength. Resultant, everyone tries to collect the equipment of destruction for
other people in spite of spending his wealth, strength and attempt in useful
humanitarian works and projects. His wealth and strength is wasted in collection
of the equipment of destruction. If now, there was war, then all were killed.
Otherwise if the war did not take place, then goods for life continued to be
less. The point of dying reached. Finally, both forms can bring nothing save
ruin.
This advice of
Prophet Shu-aib (peace be upon Him) is useful, even today too
as it was then. There are own sensual desires only, which resist from accepting
it. Selfish person is not ready to consider other people equal to him easily.
Therefore, he is inclined to tyrannize and trouble others to fulfill his own
wishes.
