[59] Surah Al-Hashr [The Gathering]: Ayat 019

১৯. তোমরা তাদের মত হয়ো না, যারা আল্লাহ তা’আলাকে ভুলে গেছে। ফলে আল্লাহ তা’আলা তাদেরকে আত্ন বিস্মৃত করে দিয়েছেন।  তারাই অবাধ্য।

Ayat 19. And be not like those who forgot Allah (i.e. became disobedient to Allah) and He caused them to forget their own selves, (let them to forget to do righteous deeds). Those are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

Tafseer of Surah Al-Hashr [The Gathering] Ayat 19. And be ye not like those who forgot Allah; and He made them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious transgressors! To forget Allah is to forget the only Eternal Reality. As we are only reflected realities, how can we understand or do justice to or remember ourselves, when we forget the very source of our being?

Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: You indulge in (bad) actions which are more insignificant to you than a hair while we considered them at the time of Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) to be great destroying sins". [Al-Bukhari 08, Chapter 76, Hadith # 499].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Hashr Ayat 19. And be not like those who forgot Allah (i.e. became disobedient to Allah) and He caused them to forget their own selves" The less fear of Allah, one has the more disobedient he becomes to Him. As the fear of Allah decreases, one becomes more bold in committing sins. As the Companions of the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) were intensely fearful of Allah, they were afraid of committing even very minor sins.
