BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Lesson                                 

Allah Almighty has sent a Straight and Simple Message for the human being by means of His Messengers (peace be upon Them) and Scriptures, for understanding of which, the human sense is quite sufficient, which He has bestowed Himself to every mankind. Messengers of Allah Almighty (peace be upon Them) and His Holy Books explained before us that; this Plant of the Universe; which is before you, Allah Almighty has created it with His Omnipotence and its entire administration is also in His Control. Everything of the universe is running according to prescribed system of God Almighty, whether that is earthly or heavenly. And nothing can go up or down, right or left, hither or thither from that way, which has He determined for everything. Every power and force is under His rule and works as He commands.

                                                          

Countless forces have been performing their duties around, beneath and above the earth, and revolutionary changes take place in the earth by means of them. Hot and cold, day and night, superficial changes, becoming of water dry and dryness as water, rain, dust storms, earthquakes etc. the whole are blandishments of these forces. These all are included in the formation of the earth. Reasons of their happening spring up, whenever God Almighty commands. Until it is confirmed by Him, these forces will be working. Till when the earth is to remain, no force can exceed its limit. When it will be approved by Allah Almighty to abolish it, then these forces will show their thrust overly and the earth will be destroyed and ruined.  

 

After creating the humankind, Allah Almighty commanded to live in these environments and said: These whole powers and forces, which you observe, are in My Control. You have to live for some days in the condition of pulling and taking away by these forces. Until you live here, dwell, but according to My Instructions, which are delivered to you by means of My Messengers (peace be upon Them). You have to leave this place at last one day, and then your superior life will begin. That individual, who would have passed own life in accordance with My Guidance, tranquility and repose will be in his/her luck only during the next life. Satan is your deadly foe in this world. He will seduce you and try his best as much as it will be possible for him that you should not adopt that Path, which I have determined for you.

 

If you gave up My prescribed Straight Path, it will be cause of My anger. You all should become one nation all together and hold fast the Path of Allah Almighty, and prevent everyone with your collective strength from going (astray) out from this Path. If you entire people would be corrupted, then I shall destroy you in this world by means of any disaster, earthquake, dust/rain storm or volcanic materials, as I have ruined many nations before you.

 

My Messengers (peace be upon Them) have told you the stories (of ancient people) by means of My Scriptures. Take those facts as warning. It is My Rule that until sufficient people will continue to tell My Commands in any nation, I shall not send down any common disaster due to their blessing. But if they remained only a few, then I shall save them and destroy remaining all other people. The torment of after death is a separate.

The nature of the consequence of evildoers

Lesson # 884 from the Noble Quran

The nature of the consequence of evildoers

Surah ‘A’-RAAF (The Heights) – Chapter – 7)

Stage – 2, Verse – 84 of 206, Section – 10 of 24 (Part – 8)

BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

And We rained a rain upon them. So, see now the nature of the consequence of evildoers!

Wa  ‘amtarNaa  ‘alay-him-mataraa.  Fanzur  kayfa  kaana  ‘aa-qibatul-mujrimiin.

Lesson 

It has been mentioned earlier that the people of Sodom and its outskirts had been involved in a very bad and disgusting habit (carnal copulation against nature). Allah Almighty chose His Prophet Lot (peace be upon Him) and sent Him unto those people to cause to know them. He (peace be upon Him) explained about the evils of their obscene act.

 

It seems that they had understood it that really, it was a dirty and defiled act, and its consequence is not other than a ruin. But instead of being abashed due to this unchaste act, a stubborn arose in their hearts. It was required that they were ashamed on their vicious act after understanding. But instead, it happened that they began to blush that another person was going to admonish them about the badness of their act, as though, their comprehension was less than Him. They thought: We had to give up this evil at our own with our pleasure. Now we shall never leave it.

 

This is the devilish trick, with which Satan has obstructed and is baring many servants of God Almighty from the Straight Path, and deprives them entirely from the special advice of the Messengers of Allah Almighty (peace be upon Them). This perversion arises in their hearts that: Who is this person, preventing us from our deed?

 

The nation of Noah (peace be upon Him) was crazed in the same way and they drowned. The tribe of ‘Aad was killed in the same mania. The people of Thamud ruined themselves with their same thought. This is the swagger due to which, improper stubbornness arises. Human being accepts his death, but does not wish to see any other greater, a little, than him, and coming into stubbornness, commits forbidden deeds immediately and forcibly. Although, he knows that it will destroy him. It is called the evil of the self. Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has taught us this prayer: Allaahumma  ‘a-‘iznii  min  sharrin-nafsii. (O God! Save me from the evil of the self). Result of those perverse and obstinate people has been described in this verse.

 

It is commanded: We rained a rain (of stones) upon them. After that, you saw the nature of consequence of evildoers. Powers of the earth and the heavens are in the control and omnipotence of Allah Almighty. Perhaps it would have been the form; as volcanic materials kept being split. Volcanic materials of brimstone might be beneath that storey of the land. Those materials of sulphur ran over with full force and frittered away that part of the land, where those disobedient people lived. They fell down into that abyss, which was produced due to flying of that particular part of the earth, and the stones etc. had been falling upon them. Allah Almighty keep us protected from His wrath.
