بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Whatever program we initiate in our life, will be as per the Pre-directed Guidelines of Allah, the Most Benevolent and the Most Merciful. (6:162)
لَمۡ يَكُنِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَةُ١
98:1. Those who claim to own the Scriptures are, in fact, liars. Because instead of following Our guidance, they are following their own set of guidelines. The same is true with regard to the mushriks who live spontaneously among the people of the area. The enmity that prevails between these two factions will last until there is sufficient evidence from Rabbu
Conflicts cannot be a solution to the problems. Those sources have come in the form of this Quran. Its main purpose is to remove the animosity between the people and bring about reconciliation. (7: 157)
رَسُولٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ يَتۡلُواْ صُحُفٗا مُّطَهَّرَةٗ٢
98:2. These precepts are submitted to the people through the reformist. Its framed laws are structured into sentences and chapters and given as a legal book. This Quran is pure without any contradictions (see 18:1)
فِيهَا كُتُبٞ قَيِّمَةٞ٣
98:3. That is, all the legal schemes generated in it are standard, suitable for all ages, and are not subject to change. These are the best ways to achieve the lofty goal of human life.
وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَةُ٤
98:4. Despite such clear evidence, the people of the other Scriptures, instead of accepting and following this Qur’anic guidance wholeheartedly, seek to further divide society!
98:5. The Concepts mentioned in Qur’an is:
وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ
(1) People should only accept the guidelines in this Quran and act accordingly.
مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ
(2) No one should deviate and follow other means of guidance.
حُنَفَآءَ
(3) All must work together to eliminate feelings of enmity among the people.
وَيُقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
(4) to establish common social welfare forums.
وَيُؤۡتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَۚ
(5) Accordingly, a better social structure should be established and All facilities should be made for human resource development. Only with such means can a better country be built.
وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ ٱلۡقَيِّمَةِ٥
What other commandments are there in this Qur’an other than these? Is it not possible to have pure and everlasting guidance (Permanent values)?
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ شَرُّ ٱلۡبَرِيَّةِ٦
98:6. But the way of life of opposers is different. Most of them, except a few, refuse to accept them. That is the situation of the idolaters too. Such people will lose everything they have earned in their lifetime and will be devastated. Then they will be struck in unbearable pains and they will suffer. And the suffering will continue after their death.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡبَرِيَّةِ٧
98:7. On the other hand, those who accept Rabbu's guidance and work on creative social welfare schemes will get better living facilities.
جَزَآؤُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّٰتُ عَدۡنٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۖ
98:8. All of these will be available according to the terms of the “good results for good deeds” prescribed by Rabbu for their labor. And their prosperous life will increase, and the land will become like a paradise. For individuals, this happy life will continue in this world and after death. (16: 30-32)
رَّضِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُواْ عَنۡهُۚ
Thus, the thoughts and actions of those who accept the guidance will be as per the will of Rabbu. So, according to the word of Rabbu, they get a life similar to paradise.
ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنۡ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُۥ٨
Conversely, when society engages in abusive practices, its consequences will be devastating. It will be impossible to escape from it. This is the law of Rabbu. For those who have accepted the guidance of Rabbu, this fear gives rise and dignity in their lives.
Every human being wants to have a better life. It is also Rabbu's will that man should have a happy life. Man's goal is to have pleasant life only for himself and his family. But Rabbu’s Will is that man must make way for the whole society (world) to live smoothly. Then the joys will multiply. Rabbu arranges that happiness surely to come to his part.
In the next chapter, we will look at the situation of those who refused to accept Our guidance and lived in a state of self-sufficiency.
