Yunos 11
11- SHOULD ALLAH HASTENS TO PEOPLE THE EVIL AS THEY HASTEN THE GOOD, THEY WOULD SOON REACH THE END OF THEIR LIVES, SO WE LEAVE THOSE WHO DO NOT WISH TO MEET US BLINDED IN THEIR TRANSGRESSION.
We can understand this Ayah from two angles:
First: Sometimes in times of anger one may curse a member of his family or a loved one, or even himself, wishing harm or death to come to them. Thanks to Allah the Highest, Allah the Highest does not normally answer such curse. Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, said: “Do not curse yourself, do not curse you family, and do not curse your money, for might happen at an hour when Allah answers for everyone and he will do what you asked for”. (M: Zohd & D: Salah)
And he also said, prayer and peace upon, him: “None of you should ever ask for death, but if he must, let him say: Allah I beg you to let me live for as long as living is good for me, and let me die when death is good for me”. (B: Dawat; 29 & M: Zekr; 10)
Second: We say Dawa normally asking for what we think is good for us with our limited vision, and often this might not be the case, for Allah the Highest knows and we do not know. Allah the Highest said: “AND MAN SAYS DAWA (ASKS) FOR WHAT IS EVIL AS EAGERLY AS HE SAYS DAWA (ASKS) FOR WHAT IS GOOD, FOR MANKIND ARE ALWAYS RUSHING”. (S: 17 A: 11)
Indeed, we might be eagerly in pursuit of what is bad for us, ignoring something which is, easier to achieve, or is good for us. Allah the Highest said: “MAY BE THAT YOU HATE SOMETHING WHILE IT IS GOOD FOR YOU, AND MAY BE THAT YOU LOVE SOMETHING WHILE IT IS BAD FOR YOU, FOR ALLAH KNOWS AND YOU DO NOT KNOW”. (S: 2 A: 216)
Such as in marriage, which Allah the Highest gives us as an example of what we might hate although it is good for us, because our vision is superficial and limited. Allah the Highest said: “AND LIVE WITH THEM KINDLY, BUT IF YOU HATE THEM, MAY BE YOU HATE SOMETHING IN WHICH ALLAH PUTS A GREAT DEAL OF GOODNESS”. (S: 4 A: 19)
Therefore it is better for the Muslim to ask for what is good for him in this life and the Hereafter, as in work or a spouse, without naming or specifying, and then Allah the Highest chooses for you what is best. Certainly Allah’s choice is much better.
Then Allah the Highest tells us that only the believers, take heed of the advise and warning, while the disbelievers carry on in their way blindly.
