Yunos 13-14
13- AND WE DESTROYED NATIONS BEFORE YOU, WHEN THEY TRANSGRESSED AND AFTER THEIR MESSENGERS WENT TO THEM WITH THE CLEAR SIGNS, BUT THEY WOULD NOT BELIEVE, THIS IS HOW WE RECOMPENSE THE EVIL PEOPLE.
14- THEN WE MADE YOU VICEROYS ON EARTH AFTER THEM, TO SEE WHAT YOU WILL DO.
Allah the Highest is reminding us that many nations and people before us were destroyed and perished due to their transgression and disobedience, despite the guidance sent with the prophets and messenger, for Allah the Highest does not punish people without sending them guidance first. “AND WE WERE NOT TO PUNISH BEFORE SENDING A MESSENGER”. (S: 17 A: 15)
And Allah the Highest said to Adam when he put him out of the garden: “WE SAID: “GET DOWN FROM IT ALL OF YOU. WHEN YOU RECEIVE GUIDANCE FROM ME, THOSE WHO FOLLOW MY GUIDANCE, THERE WILL BE NO FEAR UPON THEM, NEITHER WILL THEY BE SADDENED” * “WHILE THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE AND REJECT OUR FAITH, THEY ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE FIRE, WHERE THEY WILL ABIDE FOREVER”. (S: 2 A: 38, 39)
The prophets and messengers, peace upon them, came with clear evidence of the prophecy and carried a clear message for people to follow.
Then Allah the Highest placed us on Earth after them, sent us the guidance through Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, and will see what we are doing. We are Allah’s viceroys on Earth, for Allah the Highest put mankind on Earth as His viceroys.
Viceroys have responsibilities and obligations:
- They should fulfil the will of Allah the Highest on Earth and live according to His guidance.
- The Viceroys should look after the Earth they have been placed in charge of.
It does not seem that mankind in general is fulfilling either obligation well. We pollute the atmosphere, poisons the seas and rivers with industrial waste. We have managed to eradicate many species of animal, bird, fish etc., now more than ever before. Human beings abuse other human beings and kill them without mercy. Mankind is actively destroying all that is necessary for life on Earth to continue as it has for thousands and millions of years. This is what we are doing to Earth and Allah the Highest is watching.
Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, said: “This lower life is sweat and green and Allah will let you be in charge in order that He sees what you will do. Therefore, guard yourselves from the women, for the best temptation of the Children of Israel was in women”. (M: Zekr & T: Fetan & Ma: Fetan)
