[53] Surah An-Najm [The Star]: Ayat 042-047


৪২. তোমার পালনকর্তার কাছে সবকিছুর সমাপ্তি,  
৪৩. এবং তিনিই হাসান ও কাঁদান 
৪৪. এবং তিনিই মারেন ও বাঁচান
৪৫. এবং তিনিই সৃষ্টি করেন যুগল-পুরুষ ও নারী
৪৬. একবিন্দু বীর্য থেকে যখন স্খলিত করা হয়
৪৭. পুনরুত্থানের দায়িত্ব তাঁরই,      

Ayat 42. And that to your Lord (Allah) is the End (Return of everything).
Ayat 43. And that it is He (Allah) Who makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep;
Ayat 44. And that it is He (Allah) Who causes death and gives life;
Ayat 45. And that He (Allah) creates the pairs, male and female,
Ayat 46. From Nutfah (drops of semen male and female discharges) when it is emitted;
Ayat 47. And that upon Him (Allah) is another bringing forth (Resurrection);

Tafseer of Surah An-Najm (The Star) Ayat 42 to 46. That to thy Lord is the final Goal; The fourth, fifth, and sixth aphorisms are that all things return to Allah; that all our hope should be in Him and we should fear none but Him; and that He alone can give Life and Death. 43. That it is He Who granted Laughter and Tears; 44. That it is He Who granted Death and Life; 45. That He did create in pairs, male and female, The seventh aphorism relates to the mystery of sex: all things are created in pairs: each sex performs its proper function, and yet it’s wonderful working is part of the creative process of Allah: the living seed fructifies, but contains within itself all the factors disclosed in its later development and life. Ayat 46. From a seed when lodged (in its place). 47. That He hath promised a Second Creation (Raising of the Dead). No less wonderful is the promise He has made about the raising of the dead, and a new life in the Hereafter, and this is the subject of the eighth aphorism.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah image001.jpg[SAWW](PBUH), the truthful and the receiver of the truth informed us, saying, "The creation of you (humans) is gathered in the form of semen in the womb of your mother for forty days, then it becomes a clinging thing in similar (period), then it becomes a lump of flesh like that, then Allah sends an angel who breathes the life into it; and (the angel) is commanded to record four things about it: Its provision, its term of life (in this world), its conduct; and whether it will be happy or miserable. By the One besides Whom there is no true god! Verily, one of you would perform the actions of the dwellers of Jannah until there is only one cubit between him and it (Jannah), when what is foreordained would come to pass and he would perform the actions of the inmates of Hell until he enter it. And one of you would perform the actions of the inmates of Hell, until there is only one cubit between him and Hell. Then he would perform the acts of the dwellers of Jannah until he would enter it.''  [Muslim Book 33, Chapter 01, Hadith # 6930].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah An-Najm Ayat 46. From Nutfah (drops of semen male and female discharges) when it is emitted” This Hadith deals with the problem of fate in which Faith is essential. What it means is that Almighty Allah already knows about every person, whether he will be pious or impious, whether he will go to Jannah or Hell. He has already recorded all this. But it does not mean that man is absolutely helpless and is deprived of will and power, as is believed by some deviant sects who have gone astray. Fate is in fact a manifestation of the Knowledge of Allah and it has nothing to do with the will and intention of a person. Allah has not created man as a helpless creature, but has endowed him with the freedom of will and action, because in the absence of these two qualities, there would be no justification for his trial. He could only be put to test if he was granted not only the ability to choose between good and evil but also the freedom to act. For this purpose, Almighty Allah, has clearly indicated to man both the paths and granted him freedom to choose whichever he likes. He has also told him the ultimate end of each. The Noble Qur'an says: "Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful". {76}Surah Al-Insan [Man]: Ayat 3) "Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve". {18} Surah Al-Kahf [The Cave]: Ayat 29). But by mentioning this Hadith in the chapter relating to the fear of Allah, Imam An-Nawawi has warned that we should be fearful of Allah, pray for His Help, and an auspicious end of our life. He has advised us to adopt whatever means are available to us. In other words, we should make Faith and piety a way of life because one can find the means and resources according to one's capacity. Since nobody knows the result of his endeavors, one should leave it to Allah and rest assured that He Who has created him with a purpose will also create the ways and means to attain it. He who adopts piety, the ways to piety will open for him; and he who adopts evil, the ways to evil will open for him. A Muslim should never go towards evil at any stage of his life, lest his life comes to an end suddenly and he is deprived of the reward of all the good deeds he has done during his life and consequently he is consigned to Hell rather than Jannah. May Allah save us from a bad end and such actions which lead one to Hell.
