[40].Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) also known as Surah Ghafir [The Forgiver]: Ayat 17

১৭. আজ প্রত্যেকেই তার কৃতকর্মের প্রতিদান পাবে। আজ যুলুম নেই। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ দ্রুত হিসাব গ্রহণকারী।

Ayat 17. This Day shall every person be recompensed for what he earned. No injustice (shall be done to anybody). Truly, Allah is Swift in reckoning.

Tafseer of Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) Ayat 17. That Day will every soul be requited for what it earned; no injustice will there be that Day, for Allah is Swift in taking account. Swift in several senses: (1) the time of the present life or of the interval before Judgment, i.e., before the restoration of true values, is so short as compared to Eternity, that it may be counted as negligible: in the next verse the Day is characterized as "(ever) drawing near"; (2) in spite of the great concourse of souls to be judged, the process of Judgment will be almost instantaneous, "in the twinkling of an eye" (16:77), because everything is already known to Allah; and yet not the least injustice will be done.

Hazrat Abu Shuraih Khuwailid bin `Amr Al-Khuza'i (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "O Allah, I declare inviolable the rights of two weak ones: the orphans and women". [Sunan' An-Nasai Hadith # 9150]

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Mumin Ayat 17.” Truly, Allah is Swift in reckoning” The poor are generally treated callously in human society. Women and orphans are regular victims of this cruelty. They are deprived of their share in property to which they are entitled under the Islamic law. In some cases their properties are usurped and they are maltreated at the hands of usurpers. The Prophet (PBUH) has threatened them with serious consequences to prevent the Muslims from committing such injustice. The attitude of Muslims and the teachings of Islam in this matter are two different things. How can Islam be blamed for the attitude of Muslims? It is time Muslims should understand that Islam is getting a bad name because of their bad conduct. As a result of this they are committing a double crime. On the one hand, they are guilty of usurping others of their legitimate rights and perpetrating cruelties, and on the other, disgracing their religion. In other words, rather than preaching Islam they are creating obstacles in the way of people joining the fold of Islam. May Allah grant us guidance to follow the right path. Amen!
