[25].Surah Al-Furqan [The Criterion]: Ayat 42

৪২. সে তো আমাদেরকে আমাদের উপাস্যগণের কাছ থেকে সরিয়েই দিত, যদি আমরা তাদেরকে আঁকড়ে ধরে না থাকতাম। তারা যখন শাস্তি প্রত্যক্ষ করবে, তখন জানতে পারবে কে অধিক পথভ্রষ্ট।

Ayat 42. "He would have nearly misled us from our âliha (gods), had it not been that we were patient and constant in their worship!" And they will know when they see the torment, who it is that is most astray from the (Right) Path!

[Tafseer] of Ayat 42. "The Polytheist of that time were saying "He the Prophet indeed would well-nigh have misled us from our gods, and the teaching of our forefathers had it not been that we were constant to them!"- Soon will they the Kuffar polytheist will know, when they see the Penalty, who it is that is most misled in Path! "Path" (Sabil) is almost equivalent here to conduct or way of life.   

Hazrat Bara bin Azib (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "When a believer is questioned in the grave, he testifies that, `there is no true god except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' About him the Words of Allah, the Exalted, are: `Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the firm statement (The Testimony of Faith) in this world and the Hereafter)". (14:27)

[Al-Bukhari Book 06, Chapter 60, Hadith # 221]. 

 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Furqan Ayat 42."it is that is most astray from the (Right) Path!" This Hadith mentions both the parts of the Shahadah together, that is to say "La ilaha illallah, Muhammad-ur-Rasulullah'' (There is no true god except Allah, and Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) is the Messenger of Allah). The questioning in the grave is beyond question and is a part of Muslim Belief. Every Muslim will, by the Grace of Allah, give their correct answers in respect of Tauhid and Risalah.
