[43]. Surah Al Zukhruf (The Gold Adornments): Ayat 005-008

৫. তোমরা সীমাতিক্রমকারী সম্প্রদায়-এ কারণে কি আমি তোমাদের কাছ থেকে কোরআন প্রত্যাহার করে নেব?

৬. পূর্ববর্তী লোকদের কাছে আমি অনেক রসূলই প্রেরণ করেছি।

৭. যখনই তাদের কাছে কোন রসূল আগমন করেছেন, তখনই তারা তাঁর সাথে ঠাট্টা-বিদ্রুপ করেছে।

৮. সুতরাং আমি তাদের চেয়ে অধিক শক্তি সম্পন্নদেরকে ধ্বংস করে দিয়েছি। পূর্ববর্তীদের এ ঘটনা অতীত হয়ে গেছে।   

Ayat 5. Shall Allah then (warn you not and) take away the Reminder (this Qur’an) from you, because you are a people Musrifun.

Ayat 6. And how many a Prophet have Allah sent amongst the men of old (generations).

Ayat 7. And never came there a Prophet to them but they used to mock at him.

Ayat 8. Then Allah destroyed men stronger (in power) than these, and the example of the ancients has passed away (before them).

Tafseer of Al Zukhruf (The Gold Adornments) Ayat 5 to 8. Shall Allah then take away the Message (Al-Quran) from you and repel (you), for that ye are a people transgressing beyond bounds? In vouchsafing Revelation, what an inestimable Mercy has Allah conferred on mankind! Yet so many deluded souls are ungrateful, and ignore or oppose its teaching. If it were not for His attributes of Forgiveness and Forbearing He would be justified in withdrawing that Light, but He continues to shed it, that all who will may come and be blessed by it. Ayat 6. But how many were the prophets Allah sent amongst the peoples of old? In spite of, or because of, man's obstinate and rebellious nature, Allah sent prophet after prophet to the peoples of old, but there was among them always a party that ridiculed them and treated Allah's Signs as naught. Ayat 7. And never came there a prophet to them but they mocked him. Ayat 8. So Allah destroyed (them)- stronger in power than these;- and (thus) has passed on the Parable of the peoples of old. The result of rebellion was destruction. And the pagan Makkan generation contemporary with the Prophet are reminded that the peoples of old who were destroyed were, many of them, more powerful than they, and that they, in disobeying Allah's Law, were inviting the same fate for themselves. The events of the past have become Parables for the present and the future.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I can still recall as if I am seeing the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) resembling one of the Prophets whose people scourged him and shed his blood, while he wiped blood from his face, he said: "O Allah! Forgive my people, because they certainly do not know".  [Al-Bukhari 09, Chapter 84, Hadith # 63].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al Zukhruf Ayat 7. And never came there a Prophet to them but they used to mock at him” It mentions the refined character and compassion of the Prophets which has an important lesson for those who preach righteousness. They should be always prepared to face hardships involved in inviting people to the right path and, instead of retaliation, forgive their audience and pray for their guidance. These noble qualities are extremely important for those who are devoted to preach religion.
