[52] Surah At-Tur [The Mount]: Ayat 025-028


২৫. তারা একে অপরের দিকে মুখ করে জিজ্ঞাসাবাদ করবে
২৬. তারা বলবেঃ আমরা ইতিপূর্বে নিজেদের বাসগৃহে ভীত-কম্পিত ছিলাম
২৭. অতঃপর আল্লাহ আমাদের প্রতি অনুগ্রহ করেছেন এবং আমাদেরকে আগুনের শাস্তি থেকে রক্ষা করেছেন
২৮. আমরা পূর্বেও আল্লাহকে ডাকতামতিনি সৌজন্যশীল, পরম দয়ালু   

Ayat 25. And some of them draw near to others, questioning. (regarding worldly life)
Ayat 26. Saying: "Aforetime, we were afraid with our families (from the punishment of Allah).
Ayat 27. "But Allah has been gracious to us, and has saved us from the torment of the Fire.
Ayat 28. "Verily, We used to invoke Him (Alone and none else) before. Verily, He is AL Barr (the Most Subtle, Kind, Courteous, and Generous), the Most Merciful."

Tafseer of Surah At-Tur (The Mount) Ayat 25 to 28. They will advance to each other, engaging in mutual enquiry. The third-and the highest-stage of Bliss, after individual Bliss and social Bliss, is the satisfaction of looking to the Past without its shadows and realizing to the full in the Present the goodness of Allah. This, again, is shared in mutual converse and confidence. 26. They will say: "Aforetime, we were not without fear for the sake of our people. A man may be good, and may with limits have found goodness in his own spiritual life, but may have anxieties about his family or friends whom he loves. All such shadows are removed in heaven by the Grace of Allah, and he is free to dwell in it in this confidential converse with other men similarly circumstanced. 27. "But Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind. "Us" includes the good man or woman and all whom he or she cared for. This would be an ever-expanding circle, until it includes all mankind through Teachers like the Chosen One. The "Scorching Wind" is the type of haste, arrogance, and fire, such as entered into the composition of Jinns: 15:27. The destiny of man is to attain to calm, peace, security, the Garden of Bliss. 28. "Truly, we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He, the Beneficent, the Merciful!" Before this, we called upon Him, in faith that He is good: now we know in our inmost souls that He is indeed good-the Beneficent, the Merciful.' This is the climax of the description of Heaven. 

Hazrat Jarir bin Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "He who is deprived of forbearance and gentleness is, in fact, deprived of all good.''  [Muslim Book 32, Chapter 21, Hadith # 6272]

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah At-Tur Ayat 26. Saying: "Aforetime, we were afraid with our families (from the punishment of Allah)" This Hadith brings out that Allah enjoins softness and dislikes stiffness in human relations. Allah assures of reward for gentle behavior in society, not for unkindness or anything like that. However, inflexibility is preferred to flexibility when there arises a question of religious matters and the limits set by Allah.
