Anam 133-135
133- AND YOUR LORD HAS NO NEED AND HAS AN ALL EMBRACING MERCY, IF HE WILLS HE DESTROYS YOU AND REPLACE YOU WITH WHOM HE WILLS, JUST AS HE CREATED YOU FROM THE OFFSPRING OF OTHER PEOPLE.
134- WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN PROMISED WILL CERTAINLY COME, AND YOU CAN NOT PREVENT IT.
135- SAY: “O PEOPLE, WORK FOR THE PLACE AND STATUS YOU DESIRE, I AM WORKING FOR IT, YOU WILL KNOW WHO’S RECOMPENSE WILL BE THE HOME OF PARADISE, INDEED THE TRANSGRESSORS WILL NOT SUCCEED.
Allah the Highest is telling us that He is totally free of needs. Allah does not need our belief, worship or obedience, but we need them.
He is the Sustainer who does not need sustaining, and the Giver who does not need to be given. Allah the Highest is self sustaining, while human beings and all other creation need sustaining. Allah’s self sufficiency is complete and absolute. This has always been the case and will always be the case.
Allah the Highest replaced people with others throughout the ages. We are the offspring of our parents, and so are people allover the world, yet people who share certain characteristic like language, history and live in the same areas, consider themselves to be nations now. We need Allah the Highest to provide us with all we need to live on Earth, and Allah the Highest provides for the believers and disbelievers; and to forgive us our sins, for Allah the Highest likes to forgive. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “By Him who has my soul in his hand, if you do not sin, Allah will replace you with people who sin, then ask Allah for forgiveness, then Allah will forgive them”. (M:Tawba;11 & A:2;309)
Allah the Highest said in the Quran: “HERE YOU ARE CALLED TO SPEND IN THE CAUSE OF ALLAH, SOME OF YOU HOLD BACK, AND THOSE WHO ARE MISERLY ARE MISERLY TO THEMSELVES, FOR ALLAH IS THE ONE NOT IN NEED AND YOU ARE POOR. IF YOU TURN AWAY, HE REPLACES YOU WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE, WHO WILL NOT BE LIKE YOU”. (S:47 A:38)
What Allah the Highest promises will certainly happen and mankind has no power to stop them. We find that Allah the Highest speaks to us in the Quran talking about the future, like speaking about the Hereafter or the Day or Resurrection, but in the past tense not the future tense. This is a way of affirming that what is being said will certainly happen, saying it as if it happened already.
We should all work for the place we are going to for sure, and in which we will live forever. We usually use the greater part of our effort and time working for and worrying about our achievements in this life, which is very short, while the Hereafter which is eternal.
We should work for the place we like to go to in the Hereafter, if it is Paradise or the Hell-Fire. Also we should work for our level and grade in the Hereafter. Allah the Highest spoke about such grades in the Quran. Speaking about Paradise saying:“THEY ARE IN GRADES BEFORE YOUR LORD, FOR ALLAH SEES ALL YOU DO”. (S:3 A:163)
“GRADES FROM HIM, FORGIVENESS AND MERCY, FOR ALLAH IS MOST FORGIVING AND MOST MERCIFUL”. (S:4 A:96)
“WE ELEVATE WHOM WE WILL DEGREES, FOR YOUR LORD IS ALL WISE AND ALL KNOWING”. (S:6 A:83)
The Hell-Fire have various grades too, Allah the Highest said: “THE HYPOCRITES ARE IN THE LOWERMOST PART OF THE FIRE, AND YOU WILL FIND THAT THEY HAVE NO SUPPORTERS”. (S:4 A:145)
In our short life on Earth we should be aware that what we do is towards our destiny in the Hereafter and our grade and status there, whether good or bad.
