[26].Surah Ash-Shuara [The Poets]: Ayat 184-188

১৮৪. ভয় কর তাঁকে, যিনি তোমাদেরকে এবং তোমাদের পূর্ববর্তী লোক-সম্প্রদায়কে সৃষ্টি করেছেন। 
১৮৫. তারা বলল, তুমি তো জাদুগ্রস্তদের অন্যতম।
১৮৬. তুমি আমাদের মত মানুষ বৈ তো নও। আমাদের ধারণা-তুমি মিথ্যাবাদীদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত।
১৮৭. অতএব, যদি সত্যবাদী হও, তবে আকাশের কোন টুকরো আমাদের উপর ফেলে দাও।    
১৮৮. শো’আয়ব বললেন, তোমরা যা কর, সে সম্পর্কে আমার পালনকর্তা ভালরূপে অবহিত।

 

Ayat 184. "And fear Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old."

Ayat 185. They said: "You are only one of those bewitched!

Ayat 186. "You are but a human being like us and verily, we think that you are one of the liars!

Ayat 187. "So cause a piece of the heaven to fall on us, if you are of the truthful!"

Ayat 188. He said: "My Lord is the Best Knower of what you do." 

Tafseer of Ayat 184 to 188. "And fear Him Who created you and (who created) the generations before (you)" They said: "Thou art only one of those bewitched! "Thou art no more than a mortal like us, and indeed we think thou art a liar! They deny that he is a prophet or that they are doing wrong, or that any former generations behaved differently. They think they are the true exponents of human nature, and that such as he-idealists-are mere madmen. "Now cause a piece of the sky to fall on us, if thou art truthful!" 'If you really claim any real contact with Allah, let us see if you can bring down a piece of the sky to fall on us!' He said: "My Lord knows best what ye do." The challenge to bring down a piece of the sky was merely empty bravado, on the part of those who had called him a liar. But Shu'ayb does not insult them. He merely says: "Allah is the best judge of your conduct: what more can I say?" And Allah did punish them. 

Hazrat Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "My parable and that of yours is like a man who kindled a fire. When it has illuminated all around him, the moths and grasshoppers began to fall therein. He tried to push them away, but they overcame him and jumped into it. I am catching hold of your waists ties (to save you) from fire, but you slip away from my hands".

[Muslim Book 030,Chapter 06, Hadith # 5672]

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Ash-Shuara Ayat 184.fear Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old" This Hadith mentions the extreme kindness which the Prophet (PBUH) had for the welfare of his followers. It also mentions the misfortune of those who would become the fuel of Hell for not accepting Islam in spite of the utmost affection and ardour of the Prophet (PBUH) to bring them in the fold of Islam. People who fail to accept Islam would fall in the Hell-fire in the same way moths fall in the fire.
