Ayat 5. And
if you wonder (at these polytheists who deny your message of Islamic Monotheism
and have taken besides Allah others for worship who can neither harm nor
benefit), then wondrous is their saying: "When we are dust, shall we indeed then
be (raised) in a new creation?" (and deny the Day of Resurrection) They are
those who disbelieve in their Lord! They are those who will have iron chains
tying their hands to their necks. They will be dwellers of the Fire to abide
therein.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with
him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said: "The world is the believer's prison and the
infidel's Jannah".
[Muslim Book 42, Chapter 01,
Hadith # 7058].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Ar-Ra'd Ayat
05. "their saying: "When we are dust, shall we indeed then be
(raised) in a new creation?" (and deny the Day of Resurrection)" As compared
with the pleasures and luxuries, which are in store for a true believer in
Jannah in the Hereafter, this world is a prison; and against the ceaseless
torture that awaits the Kuffar (disbelievers) in Hell, this world is a Jannah
for them. It can also mean that the way a Muslim saves himself in life from
lusts and desires and leads a pious life with fear of Allah, this world is a
prison for him because he is fettered in the chains of rules and regulations,
while a Kafir (disbeliever) is free from all kinds of restrictions and is
completely given to lusts and desires, and this is how this world is a Jannah
for him. The purpose of this Hadith is to induce Muslims for the preparation of
Al-akhirah (the Hereafter) and prevent them from unlawful luxuries of this
world.
