[25].Surah Al-Furqan [The Criterion]: Ayat 17

১৭. সেদিন আল্লাহ একত্রিত করবেন তাদেরকে এবং তারা আল্লাহর পরিবর্তে যাদের এবাদত করত তাদেরকে, সেদিন তিনি উপাস্যদেরকে বলবেন, তোমরাই কি আমার এই বান্দাদেরকে পথভ্রান্ত করেছিলে, না তারা নিজেরাই পথভ্রান্ত হয়েছিল?
 

Ayat 17. And on the Day when Allah will gather them together and that which they worship besides Allah [idols, angels, pious men, saints, 'Iesa (Jesus) ­ son of Maryam (Mary), etc.]. Allah will say: "Was it you who misled these My slaves or did they (themselves) stray from the (Right) Path?" 

[Tafseer] 17. The day He will gather them together as well as those whom they worship besides Allah, He will ask: "Was it ye who let these My servants astray, or did they stray from the Path themselves?" The question is as in a Court of Justice, to convince those who stand arraigned.   

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "The most truthful statement a poet has ever made is the saying of Labid: Everything besides Allah is vain.''

[Al-Bukhari Book 05, Chapter 58, Hadith # 181]

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Furqan Ayat 17."Allah will gather them together and that which they worship besides Allah"

1. We learn from this Hadith that to compose, recite and quote good verses, as evidence, is permissible.

2. The Verse of Labid, quoted in this Hadith, is the same effect as the verdict of the Noble Qur'an: "Whatsoever is on (the earth) will perish." (55:26). This Verse accepts the eternity of the Afterlife and the transitory nature of this world.
