Commentary
‘
It is commanded that when the
people of ‘Aad did not obey their Messenger Hud (peace
be upon Him), then that disaster, which had to come, came at its prescribed
time. Prophet Hud (peace be upon Him) and those who obeyed
Him, were saved. Remaining entire people were ruined.
Allah Almighty says: We kept Hud (peace
be upon Him) protected and those with Him by a mercy from Us, from that
disaster. But those people who did neither use to believe in Our Tokens and
Revelations beholding them obviously and nor accept Us as their Worshipped, and
they were involved in polytheism (belief in a plurality of God), therefore, We
cut their root.
Some one or other misfortune
use to come in the world usually. Some of them are ordinary, whereas, some are
alarming. Dust, storms and earthquakes etc. are customary, which occur due to
mutual pulling and taking away by natural forces. If the human being does not
arrange to be saved from those calamities before time, then he is annihilated
entirely after coming in their entanglement like lifeless things.
We have come to know from it
that it is incumbent for the humankind that he should adopt practical
managements for being saved from the disasters. Holy Qur’an explains
that production of horrible accidents is necessary due to either gravitational
collision of natural forces or mutual amalgamation into one another with a
specific manner.
Along with it, the prudent
people use to admonish the human beings; the ways “how to be safe and sound
from them” from time to time. But from them; matured talk is of those
individuals, who are called Messengers (peace be upon Them). Their first duty
is that they strengthen the heart of the mankind, so that it should not be
confounded at the time of any calamity. They (peace be upon Them) say:
Believing in Allah Almighty and having complete faith in His Mercy is the
actual thing.
That individual who do not have
trust in Allah Almighty and is deprived of the Belief and the Faith, and
instead of it; he has trust in his own strength, own people, companions,
buildings, fortresses and weapons etc. (apparent equipment and property etc.),
and do not act upon the advice and guidance of the Messengers (peace be upon
Them), neither can he be saved from oppressive worldly mishaps and nor can he
remain in peace after death. It is known obvious from this detail that personal
evil deeds of the human being, which are not according to the Guidance of the
Messengers (peace be upon Them), make him victim of the disasters. And because
he is debarred from the satisfaction of the heart; being a disbeliever, so even
he will never enjoy the ease of the Doomsday.
Main object of
learning the lesson from the circumstances of earlier nations, which Holy Qur’an explains
before us, is that the mankind can be saved from the disasters of the world and
the doom at the time of death, when he will follow the Guidance of the
Messengers (peace be upon Them) of his own life time as now Muhammad (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) is the last Messenger until the Day of
Resurrection. Except it; there is no other form of escaping.
