[21].Al-Anbiya [The Prophets]: Ayat 110-112



Ayat 110. Verily, He (Allah) knows that which is spoken aloud (openly) and that which you conceal.
Ayat 111. And I know not, perhaps it may be a trial for you, and an enjoyment for a while.
These are the last Ayat of Surah Anbiya, 21st Surah of Al-Quran, this Surah contained 112 ayats, from tomorrow 22nd Surah of Al-Quran Surah Hajj  [The Pilgrimage] will starts Insha Allah.
[Tafseer] "It is He Who knows what is open in speech and what ye hide (in your hearts). The Messenger of Allah freely and impartially teaches all how to carry out Allah's Will and live a good life. If some of them are hypocrites and come into the Ummah (Brotherhood) from baser motives and not the pure motives of the love of Allah, their motives and conduct will be judged by Allah and not by men. "I know not but that it may be a trial for you, and a grant of (worldly) livelihood (to you) for a time. In the same way if men who come into the Brotherhood from pure motives and yet feel aggrieved that those outside are better off from a worldly point of view, they are wrong. It may be that the fleeting enjoyment of this world's goods is but a trial, and they should be grateful for being saved from temptation. Say: "O my Lord! judge Thou in truth!" "Our Lord Most Gracious is the One Whose assistance should be sought against the blasphemies ye utter!" The better reading is "Say" in the imperative, rather than "He (the Prophet) said (or says)" in the indicative mood. Note that, on that construction, there are three distinct things which the Prophet is asked to say: viz.: (1) the statement in verses 109-111, addressed to those who turn away from the Message; (2) the prayer addressed to Allah in the first part of verse 112; and (3) the advice given indirectly to the Believers, in the second part of verse 112.1 have marked these divisions by means of inverted commas. That is, Allah's judgment as between the Teacher and those who refused the Message, or between the righteous and those who taunt them for their poverty, will be the true one, and both the Teacher and the Ummah must leave the judgment to Allah. Blasphemy is a dreadful sin. We must guard ourselves from it. But as regards others, if we cannot prevent it, we must pray to Allah for assistance and not rely upon carnal weapons. 


Hazrat Kaab bin Iyad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Verily, there is a Fitnah (trial) for every nation and the trial for my nation (or Ummah) is wealth.''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2336].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya Ayat 111."perhaps it may be a trial for you, and an enjoyment for a while." The word "Fitnah'' means trial. Anything with which a person is tried is a Fitnah for him. For this reason children and property have been regarded Fitnah for mankind in the Noble Qur'an. This Hadith strongly urges the Muslim Ummah to exercise moderation in their love for worldly goods and riches otherwise all these things, which are Gifts of Allah, can become a source of woeful torture for them.
