Tawba 105
105- AND SAY: “WORK, FOR ALLAH WILL SEE YOU WORK, SO WILL HIS MESSENGER AND THE BELIEVERS, AND THEN YOU WILL BE RETURNED TO HE WHO KNOWS ALL THAT IS HIDDEN, AND THE WITNESS OVER ALL, WHO WILL BE TELLING YOU WHAT YOU DID.
Life on earth does not go on without work, for work is essential for the material welfare of human beings, starting with the individual himself, his family, nation, and the planet Earth. Individuals, families, countries and nations never achieve knowledge, status or power without hard work.
There is also the spiritual and material for the wellbeing of the soul, which involves our belief and our morality.
Both types of work are essential, for the wellbeing of the individual and society. Whenever one type or the other dominates one’s life, and predominates over the other, then the society suffers imbalance.
We are commanded to work, all kinds of work, mental work and the work of our hands, simple work and sophisticated work, for they are all essential for the welfare of the society. The scientist needs a plumber and the plumber needs a rubbish collector etc. The most important thing is to do our work the best we can.
The work that is for the sake of Allah the Highest should be only for His sake. Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, said: “But the deeds are recompensed according to the intentions, those whose migration is for the sake of Allah and His messenger, his migration is for Allah and His messenger, and those whose migration is for a woman to marry or a worldly gain, their migration is for what they migrated for”.
People cannot see our intentions, but can see what we do. Therefore we should do our best to set a good example to others around us, particularly those close to us, like our children to whom we are the example.
Not only the living, but also the dead see our deeds. Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, said: “Your deeds are shown to your dead blood relations and your kinfolk. If it is good, they will be pleased, if otherwise, they will say: Allah, do not let them die before guiding them as you have guided us”. (A: 3; 164,165)
On the Day of Resurrection, we will be presented with an open book in which all our deeds are recorded. We will read it ourselves, and we will be able to judge ourselves without a judge. Allah the Highest said: “AND EVERY HUMAN BEING WILL HAVE HIS DEEDS TIED TO HIS NECK, AND ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION A BOOK THEY WILL FIND OPEN * READ YOUR OWN BOOK, YOU ARE SUFFICIENT TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF YOUR OWN DEEDS”. (S: 17 A: 13-14)
It is important that whenever one sins, that is not known to others, not to let people know and not to show off about it, for Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, said: “A believer will be brought near to his Lord the Exalted and the Majestic, until he covers him with his cover, to make him admit to his sins. He will say: Do you know this? And the slave says: Yes my Lord I know. He says: “I covered it up for you in the lower life and I forgive it for you today”. Then he will be given the sheath of his good deeds. As for the disbelievers and the hypocrites, it will be called before all people: “They are those who lied concerning Allah”. (B: Adab; 60 & M: Tawba; 52 & Ma: Moqademah; 13 & A: 2; 74)
Then Allah the Highest pardons, whom He wishes, for what He wishes and punishes whom He wishes, for what He wishes.
