[23].Surah Al-Muminun [The Believers]:Ayat 33-34


৩৩) তার সম্প্রদায়ের যেসব সরদার ঈমান আনতে অস্বীকার করেছিল এবং আখেরাতের সাক্ষাতকারকে মিথ্যা বলেছিল, যাদেরকে আমি দুনিয়ার জীবনে প্রাচুর্য দান করেছিলাম, তারা বলতে লাগলো , ‘‘এ ব্যক্তি তোমাদেরই মতো একজন মানুষ ছাড়া আর কিছুই নয়৷ তোমরা যা কিছু খাও তা-ই সে খায় এবং তোমরা যা কিছু পান করো তা-ই সে পান করে ৷
৩৪) এখন যদি তোমরা নিজেদেরই মতো একজন মানু্ষের আনুগত্য করো তাহলে ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হবে৷


Ayat 33. And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, and to whom We had given the luxuries and comforts of this life, said: "He is no more than a human being like you, he eats of that which you eat, and drinks of what you drink.
Ayat 34. "If you were to obey a human being like yourselves, then verily! You indeed would be losers.
[Tafseer] of ayat 33. The chiefs disbelieved and denied the day of Resurrection, and on whom Allah had bestowed the good things of this life, said: "The Prophet is no more than a man like yourselves: he eats and drink as you like common human being. and as further the deny and said as explain in ayat 34. "If ye obey a man like yourselves, behold, it is certain ye will be lost. The type of the narrow Sybarite, who enjoys the good things of this life, denies a future life, and is jealous of any one who presumes to widen his horizon, is here described in a few masterly strokes. He is bored by any mention of the serious things beyond his ken. What good is it, he says, to talk about the future? Enjoy the present. The gain is all in the present: the loss is all in the future.  

Hazrat Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were accompanying a funeral procession in Baqi Al-Gharqad (graveyard in Al-Madinah) when the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) proceeded towards us and sat down. We sat around him. He had a small stick in his hand. He was bending down his head and scraping the ground with the stick. He said, "There is none among you but has a place assigned for him either in the Jannah or in the Hell.'' The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah, should we not depend upon what has been written for us (and give up doing good deeds)?'' The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Carry on doing good deeds. Every one will find it easy to do such deeds (as will lead him to his destined place) for which he has been created.''
[Al-Bukhari 02, Chapter 23, Hadith # 444].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Muminun Ayat 33."who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter" The subject of this chapter is exactly related to the Hadith accounting for reasons of giving a sermon speech beside the grave. As the dimension of the world's impermanent nature and a heart-moving scene directly confront a man's eyes on this occasion, any moral exhortation is most likely to touch the heart. Secondly, the good or bad deeds of man during his fixed life span in this world prefigure in Allah's Knowledge, and He has ordained the good or bad end of everybody. But this does not mean that man is simply helpless in doing what Allah has predetermined. Indeed, Allah already knows that such and such a person will adopt the righteous conduct and meet a good end; and such and such a person will take to the mischievous way and consequently meet a bad end. Unless man has access to Allah's Knowledge and the Preserved Tablet (which is impossible), he is not supposed to give up the right conduct by banking upon His Knowledge. When he is totally ignorant of the Sacred Writ on his ultimate end, he has no other choice but to continue endeavouring in good pursuits. Allah has given him the freedom of choice and will subject him to accountability on this count alone. Moreover, it is the Divine principle that He helps everybody do only that type of work - facilitating it to him as well - which is germane to his bent of mind. Then, there is no reason that man should lag behind in embarking upon the virtuous path and not try to seek the Grace of Allah.
