Relief for the feeble
  
Surah ‘An-Nisaaa’  (Women) – Chapter – 4) 

‘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)

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا۟ فِيمَ كُنتُمْ قَالُوا۟ كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قَالُوٓا۟ أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ ٱللَّهِ وَٰسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوا۟ فِيهَافَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَسَآءَتْ مَصِيرًا 97  إِلَّا ٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْوِلْدَٰنِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًا98 فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا 99

97.  Lo! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah’s earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such, their habitation will be Hell. And what an evil journey’s end.

98.  Except the feeble among men, and the women, and the children, who are unable to devise a plan and are not shown a way-

99.  As for such, it may be that Allah will pardon them. And Allah is Ever-Clement, Forgiving.                          
97.  ‘Innal-laziina  ta-waffaa-hu-mul-malaaa-‘ikatu  zaalimiii  ‘anfu-sihim  qaaluu  fiimaa  kuntum.  Qaaluu  kunnaa  mustaz-‘afiina  fil-‘arz.  Qaaluu  ‘alam  takun  ‘arzUllaahi  waasi-‘atan  fatu-haajiruu  fiihaa.  Fa-‘ulaaa-‘ika  ma’-waahum  Jahannam.  Wa  saaa-‘at  masiiraa. 

98.  ‘Illal-mustaz-‘afiina  mi-nar-rijaali  wan-nisaaa-‘i  wal-wildaani  laa  yastatii-‘uuna  hii-latanw-wa  laa  yahtaduuna  sabiilaa.

99.  Fa-‘ulaaa-‘ika  ‘asAllaahu    ‘any-ya’-fuwa  ‘anhum.  Wa  kaanAllaahu  ‘afuwwan-  Gafuuraa.                            

Commentary

It is the abstract of above mentioned verses that after embracing Islam and believing in Holy Qur’an as a Guide, dwelling calmly does not have any sense. Those persons have been related in these verses with evil-doers, that is to say; tyrants for themselves, who keep belief in their hearts, but do not act upon the orders of Holy Qur’an fairly. They are spoiling their own. The Angels (peace be upon them) will ask from such people at the time of their death, “While truth of Holy Qur’an was manifested upon you, then why are you dying empty-handed today”? Why do you not have good deeds with you? Then their eyes will be opened. They will not be able to compose any reply. Lastly they will say, “While we were suppressed from others, then what would we have to do? We did not have power to oppose those people. We were weak, old and helpless”. Then the Angels (peace be upon them) will say, “What a strange thing? The earth created by Allah Almighty was lying too much spacious. You would have left that land of tyrant people and immigrated to any place of peace. There, you could get opportunity to act upon the religious teachings without hindrance. At this stage, they would be unable to reply because it was their own fault. It has been commanded here that abode of such people is the Hell, which is the worst place for living. However, ill men, women and children, who neither can think about any plan, nor they know about any path and nor they are able to work, their excuse can be accepted and hopefully Allah Almighty will forgive them.
