[47] Surah Muhammad: Ayat 025

২৫. নিশ্চয় যারা সোজা পথ ব্যক্ত হওয়ার পর তৎপ্রতি পৃষ্ঠপ্রদর্শন করে, শয়তান তাদের জন্যে তাদের কাজকে সুন্দর করে দেখায় এবং তাদেরকে মিথ্যা আশা দেয়।

Ayat 25. Verily, those who have turned back (have apostated) as disbelievers after the guidance has been manifested to them, Shaitan (Satan) has beautified for them (their false hopes), and (Allah) prolonged their term (age).

Tafseer of Surah Muhammad  Peace be upon him] Ayat 25. Those who turn back as apostates after Guidance was clearly shown to them, the Evil One has instigated them and busied them up with false hopes. Such men are entirely in the hands of Evil. They follow its suggestions, and their hopes are built on its deceptions.

Hazrat Wabisah bin Mabad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I went to Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) and he asked me, "Have you come to inquire about piety?'' I replied in the affirmative. Then he said, "Ask your heart regarding it. Piety is that which contents the soul and comforts the heart, and sin is that which causes doubts and perturbs the heart, even if people pronounce it lawful and give you verdicts on such matters again and again.'' [Masnad Ahmad, Imam Ahmad Hadith # 228/4].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Muhammad  Peace be upon him] Ayat 25. “those who have turned back (have apostated) as disbelievers after the guidance” There are two points about this Hadith. First, it is one of the miracles of Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) who discovered the nature of the question before it was put to him. Second, man's heart is the biggest guide to him and he, therefore, should keep his heart illuminated with the light of Faith so as to continue receiving guidance from it.
