The concept of the Hereafter

Surah ‘Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)

Stage – 1, Verses – 46 of 286, Section – 6 of 40 (Part - 1)

BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

46.  Who know that they will have to meet their Lord, and that unto Him they are returning.

46.  ‘Allaziina yazun-nuuna ‘annahum-mulaaquu Rabbi him wa ‘annahum ‘ilayhi   raaji-‘uun.

Yazun-nuuna – (they think and know, they presume). This word is from zan, which means – doubt and faith (both). Signs of the humble-minded people (Khaashi-‘iin) have been described in this verse; who were mentioned in the previous verse. Moreover, this verse indicates toward acquiring the attribute, which has a specific degree in Faith. If someone does not have humility in his heart, then he should think that he would have to face his Lord in his every deed, motion and comfort. Without His help, he can do nothing. His Lord is with him every time. He knows his every condition, listens to his voice and observes his every movement. As his thought will become matured gradually, his faith will increase. At last, the prayer and worship will become easy for him and the virtue of patience will begin to appear into him.

For becoming good-natured and for guidance of others, there is no way without it. The other thing; with which; prayer and worship becomes easy, that is Belief in the Day of Resurrection, where everyone will be rewarded or punished (the future reward of virtues or torture, agony, anguish due to wicked deeds) according to one’s own deeds, which he performed or committed during his first life (in this world). When the thought will become matured, then there will two good manners be produced, from which the faith will become matured:

•        Fear of the Wrath of God Almighty.

•        Hope of His Mercy.

Result of the maturity of Belief will be humility, and due to humility, offering prayer will become easy, and it will result the patience, which is foundation of all good manners.

This small Section of Holy Qur’aan is an abstract of all real teachings. How beautifully the Children of Israel are being invited towards the religion Islam and along with it; the Believers of Islam are being taught about the principles of Islam. Islam has proved through these types of commandments that its principles are natural. Opposing them is actually opposing the humanity. Islam has come to purify its ancient form from all kinds of evil, which is common in Jewish, Christianity and other religions of the world. The Jews claim that they are religious and scholars, so; it is their duty that they should recognize and understand Islam, because it is the last form of that religion, which was held in actual Torah, Psalms and Gospel (old and new Testament (the Bible) and all worldly Heavenly Scriptures.
