৫৭. আমি সৃষ্টি করেছি তোমাদেরকে।
অতঃপর কেন তোমরা তা সত্য বলে বিশ্বাস কর না।
৫৮. তোমরা কি ভেবে দেখেছ,
তোমাদের বীর্যপাত সম্পর্কে।
৫৯. তোমরা তাকে সৃষ্টি কর,
না আমি সৃষ্টি করি?
Ayat 59. Is it you who create it (i.e. make this semen into a perfect human being), or are We the Creator?
Tafseer of Surah Al-Waqi’ah 57 to 59. It is We Who have created you: why do ye not testify to this truth? Man is apt to forget his Creator, and even the fact that he, man, is a created being. The seed of his body, out of which his physical life starts, is not created by man, but by Allah in the process of the unfoldment of the world. Why will not man recognize and bear witness of this fact by a life of obedience to Allah's Law? 58. Do ye then see?- The (human Seed) that ye throw out,- 59. Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators?
Hazrat Abdullah bin Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah [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 Al-Waqi’ah Ayat 57. We created you, then why do you believe not? ” 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.
