[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 031

৩১. আর যারা কুফর করেছে, তাদেরকে জিজ্ঞাসা করা হবে, তোমাদের কাছে কি আয়াতসমূহ পঠিত হত না?  কিন্তু তোমরা অহংকার করছিলে এবং তোমরা ছিলে এক অপরাধী সম্প্রদায়।

Ayat 31. But as for those who disbelieved (it will be said to them): "Were not Our Verses recited to you? But you were proud & arrogant, and you were a people who were Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals)."

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 30. Then, as to those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy that will be the Achievement for all to see. The attainment and satisfaction of all hopes and desires; the reaching of the final goal of Bliss.

Hazrat Salamah bin Al-Akwa` (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Man continues to display haughtiness and arrogance until he is recorded among the arrogant and will be therefore afflicted with what afflicts them.''  [At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2000].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 31. But as for those who disbelieved (it will be said to them): "Were not Our Verses recited to you? But you were proud & arrogant” To adopt the habits and manners of good people is deemed to be desirable. But, on the contrary, to take to the bad ways of bad people is considered undesirable. A man will ultimately be counted among those people whom he will take as a model to emulate, because he is gradually fitted into their framework and assimilates all of their qualities. Quite naturally then retribution will be administered to him accordingly.
