Commentary
We learnt in the previous
lesson that Allah Almighty is He Who delivers the human being from
entire afflictions and the humankind inclines unto Him willing or unwilling
during the time of helplessness, because his own strength and power becomes
useless. Therefore it is natural, if the mankind thinks about any Supreme
Power.
It was required that after the
condition of helplessness he would have remembered
also Allah Almighty and comprehended that only He is Who delivered
from affliction, but he does not do so. Moreover either he forgets Him totally,
or attributes others too as partners unto Him.
It has been expounded in this
verse that if you will not know Him by means of His help, then you should
remember: He is Able to send punishment upon you also. Then either will He
annihilate you entirely, for instance; by sending dust storm from the sky, rain
of stones and thunder etc. earthquakes and floods from the land etc. by which;
previous nations were annihilated, or by sowing dissension and separating you
in different sects, will cause you to taste the quarrel and enmity among you,
and lose your ease and comfort. Consider thoughtfully now upon the subject of
this verse.
Allah Almighty addresses
His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Declare (upon
them who disbelieve)! Allah Almighty has Power to send punishment upon
you. For example; dust from the sky, or earthquake from the land etc. or by
separating in different sects that you begin to quarrel with one another
mutually yourselves.
It is evident from this verse
that what happens in the world is to drive the human being towards the Straight
Path. Allah Almighty created everything like air, water, rain, heat, cold, day
and night etc. for advantage of the humankind and these entire things are
useful for him without any doubt. He should know Allah Almighty by
observing these things.
After
that Allah Almighty sent His Messengers (peace be upon Them) from
time to time to cause to engage the attention of human being towards these
things and to know Him by thinking deeply in to them and they were given
Scriptures, in which entire matters were explained before Them.
It has been explained by the
religious commentators that many earlier nations were destroyed by dust/rain
storm, thunder, flood or earthquakes etc. but nowadays no nation is destroyed
all at once by sending such punishments. However, they will be suffering in
restlessness and confusion due to mutual indisposition among themselves and
sectarianism, and will be given chance to be correct by thinking.
