[56] Surah Al-Waqi’ah [The Event]: Ayat 071-074


৭১. তোমরা যে অগ্নি প্রজ্জ্বলিত কর, সে সম্পর্কে ভেবে দেখেছ কি?  
৭২. তোমরা কি এর বৃক্ষ সৃষ্টি করেছ, না আমি সৃষ্টি করেছি
৭৩, আমি সেই বৃক্ষকে করেছি স্মরণিকা এবং মরুবাসীদের জন্য সামগ্রী
৭৪. অতএব, আপনি আপনার মহান পালনকর্তার নামে পবিত্রতা ঘোষণা করুন   

Ayat 71. Tell Me! The fire which you kindle,
Ayat 72. Is it you who made the tree thereof to grow, or are We the Grower?
Ayat 73. We have made it a Reminder (for the Hell-fire, in the Hereafter); and an article of use for the travelers (and all the others, in this world).
Ayat 74. Then glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.

Tafseer of Surah Al-Waqi’ah Ayat 71 to 74. See ye the Fire which ye kindle? 72. Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it? The relation of Fire to Trees is intimate. In nearly all the fire that we burn, the fuel is derived from the wood of trees. Even mineral coal is nothing but the wood of prehistoric forests petrified under the earth through geological ages. Fire produced out of green trees is referred to in 36:80; there gives instances. 73. We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts. Fire is a fit memorial of Allah's handiwork in nature. It is also an emblem of man's earliest civilization. It can stand as a symbol of physical comfort and convenience to man, of the source of spiritual light, and also of the warning to Evil about its destruction. In the same way the sower's seed has a symbolical meaning in the preaching of the Message: see 48:29, and the Rain and the Streams of water have a symbolical meaning: see notes 18:60. Cf. 20:10, where the mystic meaning of the Fire which Moses saw in the desert is explained. Even ordinarily, a fire in a desert is a sign of human habitation; by following it you may get human society and human comfort. A fire, or light, or beacon in many places directs a traveler on the way. Lighthouses at sea and beacons in modern aerodromes serve the same purpose for mariners and airmen. Another parable about fire will be found in 2:17-18, and n. 38. 74. Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme! Seeing all these Signs in nature and their symbolical meaning in the spiritual world, man must turn to Allah and do His Will. 

Hazrat Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah image001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH), "The deceased is tortured in his grave for bewailing over him.''
[Al-Bukhari Book 02, Chapter 23, Hadith # 379] 

Lesson: "Bewailing'' is wailing over the dead. It is weeping loudly for the deceased describing his noble qualities or the problems created by his death. Wailing causes trouble to the deceased if he willed his heirs to do so, or in his own life he behaved in the same manner and his family members were following his style of mourning at his death. But if the deceased had forbidden his relatives from wailing over his death and they do it despite his warning against doing so, then the deceased will not suffer any torment on their wailing because his intention and training have no connection with it. The Quranic injunction in this matter is absolutely clear: "No one laden with burdens can bear another's burden.'' (17:15).
