Desirous of worldly reward

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَن تَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ كِتَٰبًا مُّؤَجَّلًا وَمَن يُرِدْ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهِۦمِنْهَا وَمَن يُرِدْ ثَوَابَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ نُؤْتِهِۦ مِنْهَا وَسَنَجْزِى ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ 145

145.  No soul can ever die except by Allah’s leave and at a term appointed. Whoso desireth the reward of the world, We bestow on him thereof; and whoso desireth the reward of the Hereafter, We bestow on him thereof. And We shall reward the thankful.

145.  Wa  maa  kaana  li-nafsin  ‘an- tamuuta  ‘illaa  bi-‘iznillaahi  ki-taabam-mu-‘ajjalaa. Wa  many-yurid  sa-waabad-dunyaa  nu’-tihii  minhaa. Wa many-yurid  sa-waabal-‘Aakhirati  nu’-tihii  minhaa. Wa  sanaj-zish-Shaakiriin.

Commentary

      

It has been described in this verse that none can die without the order of Allah Almighty, whether sufficient reasons of death have been gathered. Moreover, death of every person occurs at its specific time. If the situation is as it is, then the people who have trust in Allah Almighty; should neither fear from it and nor be disappointed after hearing the death of any younger or elder.

The person who desires reward of his good deeds in the world, Allah Almighty will bestow on him thereof; and whoso desires the reward in the Hereafter, He will bestow on him thereof. For instance; the squad of archers disobeyed the command of Holy Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in the Battle of ‘Uhud and broke in collecting the booty. Those people wanted reward of strife and struggle (Jihad) in the path of Allah Almighty in this world. Second type of the people is those who executed the order of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). For instance, chief of archers Abdullah bin Jabiir and his only ten companions (archers) saw the enemies running away from the battlefield and found the Muslims collecting the booty, but they did not move from their place. They preferred the Obedience of Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) instead of collecting spoils and material belonging to this world. They remained steadfast in obedience of Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) without caring for the booty. Reward for these types of particular people is in the Hereafter.

The people who will remain steadfast upon the religion, they will get the religion also as well as there will be no deduction in their wealth and property in the world, and they will succeed in the Hereafter too. Allah Almighty will grant them more rewards who feel obliged and value the graciousness. Some people become so blind in the greed and selfishness and lose their senses that their belief does not remain in the Hereafter. They say that they should be paid their reward for their deeds in cash (in the world) not a loan (in the Hereafter). They think that it is unknown and not sure whether they would come again to life or otherwise. They want to get rewards of their virtues, hardworking and goodness in this world. Such people remain in severe loss because getting reward in this world is nothing as compared to the Hereafter.
