[54] Surah Al-Qamar [The Moon]: Ayat 038-039


৩৮. তাদেরকে প্রত্যুষে নির্ধারিত শাস্তি আঘাত হেনেছিল
৩৯. অতএব, আমার শাস্তি ও সতর্কবাণী আস্বাদন কর 

Ayat 38. And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning.
Ayat 39. "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings."

Tafseer of Surah Al-Qamar (The Moon) Ayat 38. Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment of stone storm seized them: 39. "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 

Hazrat Khabbab bin Al-Aratt (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We complained to the Messenger of Allah cid:image003.gif@01D1FCA5.E787DFE0 [SAWW](PBUH) regarding the persecution inflicted upon us by the disbelievers while he was lying in the shade of the Kabbah, having made a pillow of his cloak. We submitted: "Why do you not supplicate for our prevalence (over the opponents)?''. He cid:image003.gif@01D1FCA5.E787DFE0[SAWW](PBUH) replied, "Among those people before you, a man would be seized and held in a pit dug for him in the ground and he would be sawed into two halves from his head, and his flesh torn away from his bones with an iron comb; but, in spite of this, he would not wean away from his Faith. By Allah, Allah will bring this matter to its consummation until a rider will travel from Sana' (Yemen) to Hadramout fearing none except Allah, and except the wolf for his sheep, but you are in too much of a hurry".  [Al-Bukhari Book 04, Chapter 56, Hadith # 809] 

Lesson: 1. Difficulties in the path of Faith do not come in any particular period. People devoted to their Deen have passed through trials and tribulations everywhere and in every age and have emerged purified as does the gold after passing through the furnace. So, it is unbecoming for a Muslim to be disturbed by hardships.
2. The glad tidings about domination of religion and peace and security were given in the early period of Islam which were subsequently witnessed by the people. Even now wherever Islam is practiced in true sense, peace and security are distinctive features of the system of that country.
