[26].Surah Ash-Shuara [The Poets]: Ayat 189-191

১৮৯. অতঃপর তারা তাঁকে মিথ্যাবাদী বলে দিল। ফলে তাদেরকে মেঘাচ্ছন্ন দিবসের আযাব পাকড়াও করল। নিশ্চয় সেটা ছিল এক মহাদিবসের আযাব। 
১৯০. নিশ্চয় এতে নিদর্শন রয়েছে; কিন্তু তাদের অধিকাংশই বিশ্বাস করে না।
১৯১. নিশ্চয় আপনার পালনকর্তা প্রবল পরাক্রমশালী, পরম দয়ালু। 
  

Ayat 189. But they belied him, so the torment of the day of shadow (a gloomy cloud) seized them, indeed that was the torment of a Great Day.

Ayat 190. Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

Ayat 191. And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

Tafseer of Ayat 189 to 191. But they rejected him. Then the punishment of a day of overshadowing gloom seized them, and that was the Penalty of a Great Day. Perhaps a shower of ashes and cinders accompanying a volcanic eruption. If these people were the same as the Midianites, there was also an earthquake. It must have been a terrible day of wholesale destruction-earthquake, volcanic eruption, lava, cinders and ashes and rumbling noises to frighten those whose death was not instantaneous. Verily in that is a Sign: but most of them do not believe. And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH), was speaking to us when, a bedouin came and asked him: "When will the Last Day be?'' The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) continued his talk. Some of those present thought that he had heard him but disliked the interruption and the other said that he had not hear him. When the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) concluded his speech he asked, "Where is the one who inquired about the Last Day?'' The man replied: "Here I am.'' The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) replied, "When the practice of honouring a trust is lost, expect the Last Day.'' He asked: "How could it be lost?'' He replied, "When the government is entrusted to the undeserving people, then wait for the Last Day.''  [Al-Bukhari Vol-1, Book 3, Hadith # 56]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Ash-Shuara Ayat 189."the torment of the day of shadow (a gloomy cloud) seized them, indeed that was the torment of a Great Day" Here a very important sign of the nearness of the Day of Judgement has been mentioned: The affairs of the world will be in the hands of wicked and undeserving people. The sinners and wicked people will become the leaders of the world. The preaching pulpits would also be occupied by people who would be greedy and ignorant.They will be devoid of piety and abstinence.
