Ayat 108. On that Day mankind will follow strictly (the voice
of) Allah's caller, no crookedness (that is without going to the right or left
of that voice) will they show him (Allah's caller). And all voices will be
humbled for the Most Beneficent (Allah), and nothing shall you hear but the low
voice of their footsteps.
Ayat 109.
On that day no intercession shall avail, except the one for whom the Most
Beneficent (Allah) has given permission and whose word is acceptable to Him.
Ayat 110.
He (Allah) knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and
what will happen to them (in the Hereafter), and they will never compass
anything of His Knowledge.
[Tafseer] On that Day will they follow the Caller
(straight): no crookedness (can they show) him: all sounds shall humble
themselves in the Presence of (Allah) Most Gracious: nothing shalt thou hear but
the tramp of their feet (as they march). The. Caller, the angel whose voice
will call and direct all souls. (R). A beautiful personification of hushed
Sound. First there is the loud blast of the Trumpet. Then mere is the stillness
and hush of awe and reverence: only the tramp of the ranks marching along will
be heard. (R). On that Day shall no intercession avail except for those for
whom(2634) permission has been granted by ((Allah)) Most Gracious and whose word
is acceptable to Him. 2:255 [Ayat-ul-Kursi] in the Verse of the Throne.
Here man is in the accusative case governed by tanfa'u, and it is better to
construe as I have done. That is, intercession will benefit no one except those
for whom Allah has granted permission, and whose word (of repentance) is true
and sincere, and therefore acceptable to Allah. Others construe; no intercession
will avail, except by those to whom Allah has granted permission, and whose word
(of intercession) is acceptable to Allah. In that case the two different clauses
have no distinct meanings. He knows what (appears to His creatures as)
before or after or behind them: but they shall not compass it with their
knowledge. The slight difference in phraseology (which I have tried to
preserve in the Translation) will be understood as beauty when we reflect that
here our attention is directed to the Day of Judgement, and in 2:255 the wording
is general, and applies to our present state
also.
Hazrat Abu Barzah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger
of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Man's feet
will not move on the Day of Resurrection before he is asked about his life, how
did he consume it, his knowledge, what did he do with it, his wealth, how did he
earn it and how did he dispose of it, and about his body, how did he wear it
out.''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith #
2417].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Taha Ayat 110."(Allah) knows what
happens to them (His creatures) in this world," 1. This Hadith first of all highlights the importance and
value of this transitory life, every breath of which is invaluable. Not a moment
of it should, therefore, be wasted in the disobedience of Allah because one
shall also be made to account for it.
2. Man shall also be answerable for his knowledge. Here, we
find an inducement for acquiring religious knowledge because that alone is
beneficial for him. He should make use of his knowledge for winning the pleasure
of Allah. If he does not do that then he must think about the justification for
not doing so. He must also think how he would be facing Allah on the Day of
Resurrection.
3. The question in respect of wealth raised in this Hadith
clearly shows that one should earn wealth by legitimate means only and spend it
strictly in a lawful manner. If he takes to unfair means of income or squanders
it, he will be sinful and required to account for the violation of the Divine
injunctions.
4. One should protect his body from everything that is
unlawful and force himself to submit to the Divine injunctions. When he is asked
to account for neglecting them, it will be difficult for him to escape the
consequences of
accountability.
In short, this Hadith makes one conscious of the
accountability so that one keeps it all the time in view so that he will be
saved from humiliation on the Day of Resurrection. How nice would it really be
if one bears the accountability of the Day of Resurrection always in
mind!
