Anam 123-124
123- AS SUCH, WE LET IN EVERY PLACE, THEIR CRIMINALS TO BE THE HIGHEST IN STATUS, THEY PLOT THEREIN, BUT THEY PLOT AGAINST THEMSELVES ONLY, BUT THEY DO NOT REALIZE IT.
124- AND WHENEVER THEY HAVE AN AYAH (SIGN) THEY SAY: “WE WILL NOT BELIEVE UNTIL WE ARE SHOWN THE LIKE OF WHAT ALLAH HAVE SHOWN HIS MESSENGERS”. SAY: “ALLAH KNOWS WHERE HE BEST PLACES HIS MESSAGE”. THOSE WHO TRANSGRESSED WILL BE HUMILIATED BEFORE THEIR LORD, AND WILL RECEIVE SEVERE PUNISHMENT BECAUSE OF THEIR WICKED PLOTTING.
It has been beautified for mankind to love material possessions as well as power, “THE LOVE OF PLEASURES HAS BEEN BEAUTIFIED FOR MANKIND; OF WOMEN, CHILDREN, HEAPS OF GOLD AND SILVER, THE BRANDED HORSES, CATTLE AND TILLED LAND. THESE ARE THE PLEASURES OF THE LOWER LIFE, BUT WITH ALLAH IS THE EXCELLENT DESTINY”. (S: 3 A: 14)
We find that those who stand against faith are those who love power and wealth most. They think that they lose most by not believing and obeying Allah’s commands, They do their best to keep the status quo, to maintain their interests, while Allah the Highest does not prevent people from working and enjoying the pleasures of life, only makes morale and ethical rules for that. The Majority of the population tends to follow the example of those who have authority and wealth, and follow their lead. We see this happening with every one of Allah’s prophets and messengers. Allah the Highest said: “AND EACH TIME WE SEND PEOPLE WHO WARN THEM, THOSE LIVING IN LUXURY THERE SAY: WE DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN SENT WITH”. (S: 34 A: 34)
On the Day of Judgment however, the majority who followed those of power and wealth, will find that those they followed will not be able to help them and indeed deny any responsibility for their follower’s actions. Allah the Highest said: “THEN THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED WILL DISSOCIATE THEMSELVES FROM THOSE WHO FOLLOWED THEM, AS THEY WILL SEE THE PUNISHMENT, AND THEY WILL BE CUT OFF FROM ALL”. (S: 2 A: 166)
Although those who lead other to do wrong will gain as much sin as those who followed them, yet their followers will carry their own sins, and their load will not be lightened.
The disbelievers thought that If Allah the Highest is to endow someone with prophethood, then this person should be of the powerful and wealthy, they consider great. Allah the Highest said: “AND THEY SAID: “IF THIS QURAN WAS TO BE SENT TO A GREAT MAN FROM THE TWO VILLAGES” (S: 43 A: 31)
However, the criteria for greatness in the eyes of Allah the Highest are different weالأنعام ١٢٣-١٢٤ measure people by, He said: “THE MOST NOBLE OF YOU BEFORE ALLAH IS THE MOST PIOUS”
Allah the Highest greatly honoured His prophet and messenger Mohamed prayer and peace upon him by making the declaration and testimony of belief to include Mohamed’s name after God’s name.
On the Day of Resurrection, we will see the status and fortunes of people going by Allah’s terms, not our terms. Therefore on that day, some people will be raised and others will be lowered. Allah the Highest said: “WHEN WHAT WILL FALL UPON YOU FALLS * THERE IS NO DENIAL THAT IT WILL HAPPEN * IT WILL LOWER SOME AND RAISE SOME”. (S: 56 A: 1-3)
We ask Allah the Highest to raise and not lower us on that Day. Amen.
