[26].Surah Ash-Shuara [The Poets]: Ayat 205-207

২০৫. আপনি ভেবে দেখুন তো, যদি আমি তাদেরকে বছরের পর বছর ভোগ-বিলাস করতে দেই,  

২০৬. অতঃপর যে বিষয়ে তাদেরকে ওয়াদা দেয়া হত, তা তাদের কাছে এসে পড়ে। 

২০৭. তখন তাদের ভোগ বিলাস তা তাদের কি কোন উপকারে আসবে?

Ayat 205. Tell Me, if Allah do let them enjoy for years,

Ayat 206. And afterwards comes to them that (punishment) which they had been promised!

Ayat 207. All that with which they used to enjoy shall not avail them. 

Tafseer of Ayat 205 to 207. Seest thou? If Allah do let them enjoy (this life) for a few years, Yet there comes to them at length the (Punishment) which they were promised! It will profit them not that they enjoyed (this life)! as mentiion in Surah Baqarah ayat 96. "Everyone of them wishes that he could be given a life of a thousand years. But the grant of such life will not save him even a little from (due) punishment.  

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah excuses and grants forgiveness to a person until he attains the age of sixty years".  [Al-Bukhari Book 06, Chapter 36, Hadith # 2614]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Ash-Shuara Ayat 205."Allah do let them enjoy for years" This Hadith makes it evident that Allah does not punish any individual or nation without warning them first. The second point is that a person who is given sixty years of life and yet he neglects the obligations of Faith, will have no excuse. After the age of sixty years, one must not neglect his religious obligations because then one is closer to death. Although one may die even at a young age, in youth one is still hopeful of life. After crossing the age of sixty, to hope for longer age, while leading a sinful life and defying Divine injunctions constitute a disastrous conduct. May Allah save us from doing so.
