[23].Surah Al-Muminun [The Believers]: Ayat 99-100



৯৯) (এরা নিজেদের কৃতকর্ম থেকে বিরত হবে না) এমনকি যখন এদের কারোর মৃত্যু উপস্থিত হবে তখন বলতে থাকবে, ‘‘হে আমার রব ! যে দুনিয়াটা আমি ছেড়ে চলে এসেছি সেখানেই আমাকে ফেরত পাঠিয়ে দাও,  
১০০) আশা করি এখন আমি সৎকাজ করবো৷ কখনোই নয়,  এটা তার প্রলাপ ছাড়া আর কিছু আর নয়৷  এখন এ মৃতদের পেছনে প্রতিবন্ধক হয়ে আছে একটি অন্তরবর্তীকালীন যুগ—বরযখ যা পরবর্তী জীবনের দিন পর্যন্ত থাকবে ৷

Ayat 99. Until, when death comes to one of them (those who join partners with Allah), he says: "My Lord! Send me back,
Ayat 100. "So that I may do well in that which I have left behind!" No! It is but a word that he speaks, and behind them is Barzakh (a barrier) until the Day when they will be resurrected. 

[Tafseer] of ayat 99. (In Falsehood will they be) Until, when death comes to one of them, he says: "O my Lord! send me back (to life), This verse I think connects on with 23:90 above. Though Allah proclaims His Truth everywhere, the wicked cling to Falsehood until they face the reality of Death. The verb for "send me back" is in the plural in Arabic, which is construed either (1) as an emphatic form, as if the singular were repeated, or (2) as a plural  of respect, though such a plural is not ordinarily used in addressing Allah, or (3) as a plural addressed to the angels, after the address to Allah in "O my Lord!" in ayat 100. thay plead "In order that I may work righteousness in the things I neglected." - "By no means! It is but a word he says."- Before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up. The unrighteous will ask for another chance. But it will be too late then. The time for repentance will then have passed. Their request will mean nothing. It will be treated merely as an empty word of excuse. They had plenty of chances in this life. Not only did they reject them, but they did not even believe in Allah or ask for His assistance. Barzakh: a partition, a bar or barrier; the place or state in which people will be after death and before Judgment. Behind them is the barrier of death, and in front of them is the Barzakh, partition, a quiescent state until the judgment comes."

Hazrat Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said: "Allah, the Exalted, will continue to stretch out His Hand in the night so that the sinners of the day may repent, and continue to stretch His Hand in the daytime so that the sinners of the night may repent, until the sun rises from the west".
[Muslim Book 05, Chapter 37, Hadith # 6644 ].  

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Muminun Ayat 99."Until, when death comes to one of them (those who join partners with Allah)," This Hadith confirms an essential Attribute of Allah, i.e., the Hand which He stretches out anytime He wishes without drawing similarity to it, nor interpretation. Such was the attitude of the pious predecessors with regards to all of the essential Attributes of Allah. It is deduced from this Hadith that if one commits a sin during any hour of day or night, he should immediately seek the forgiveness of Allah as a result.
