[25].Surah Al-Furqan [The Criterion]: Ayat 73-75



৭৩. এবং যাদেরকে তাদের পালনকর্তার আয়াতসমূহ বোঝানো হলে তাতে অন্ধ ও বধির সদৃশ আচরণ করে না
৭৪. এবং যারা বলে, হে আমাদের পালনকর্তা, আমাদের স্ত্রীদের পক্ষ থেকে এবং আমাদের সন্তানের পক্ষ থেকে আমাদের জন্যে চোখের শীতলতা দান কর এবং আমাদেরকে মুত্তাকীদের জন্যে আদর্শস্বরূপ কর
৭৫. তাদেরকে তাদের সবরের প্রতিদানে জান্নাতে কক্ষ দেয়া হবে এবং তাদেরকে তথায় দোয়া ও সালাম সহকারে অভ্যর্থনা করা হবে
   
Ayat 73. And those who, when they are reminded of the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat.
Ayat 74. And those who say: "Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders for the Muttaqun" (pious).
Ayat 75. Those will be rewarded with the highest place (in Paradise) because of their patience. Therein they shall be met with greetings (by saying As-salamu alaikum) and the word of peace and respect.

[Tafseer] of Ayat 73. Those who, when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind; Kharra may mean: to fall down, to snore, to droop down as if the person were bored or inattentive, or did not wish to see or hear or pay attention. [Tafseer] of Ayat 74. And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous." We must also pray for the maintenance of Allah's I,aw after us, through our wives and descendants: in our eyes they should not be mere accidents or play things, but a real comfort and fulfilment of our spiritual longings. Perhaps, through them, as well as through ourselves, we may, by Allah's grace, be able to give a lead for truth and righteousness. Let us recapitulate the virtues of the servants of Allah: (1) they are humble and forbearing to those below them in spiritual worth: (2) they are constantly, by adoration, in touch with Allah; (3) they always remember the Judgement in the Hereafter; (4) they are moderate in all things; (5) they avoid treason to Allah, to their fellow creatures, and to themselves; (6) they give a wide berth not only to falsehood but to futility; (7) they pay attention, both in mind and manner, to the Signs of their Lord; (8) their ambition is to bring up their families in righteousness and to lead in all good. A fine code of individual and social ethics, a ladder of spiritual development, open to all. [Tafseer] of Ayat 75. Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein shall they be met with salutations and peace.  

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is! You will not enter Jannah until you believe, and you shall not believe until you love one another. May I inform you of something, if you do, you love each other. Promote greeting amongst you (by saying As-salamu `alaikum to one another)".
[Muslim Book 01, Chapter 23, Hadith # 096] 
 
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Furqan Ayat 75."they shall be met with greetings (by saying As-salamu alaikum) and the word of peace and respect" In this Hadith, Islam has been regarded as the medium of mutual love. This is the reason Muslims have been enjoined to greet each other regardless of acquaintance. It does not, however, mean that a Muslim will be a true believer or entitled to Jannah, by mere greeting. What it really means is that his Faith will become meaningful only when it is supported by actions. Greeting is an Islamic custom and a practical form and demonstration of it. The combination of Faith and its practice will take a Muslim to Jannah.
