Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 72:17). ‘Wa man yu’rid a’n dhikri Rabbihi yasluk’hu a’dhābāan sa’adāa’, ‘And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment.’ It is an Ayah from the Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan. Whoever turns his face away from Allah ﷻ, he will go through hardship and troubles, says Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Who gives up the Dhikr of Allah ﷻ and doesn’t remember Allah ﷻ will have a troubled life. And on the Day of Judgment, he will rise as blind.

The condition of the world now is such that everywhere there is trouble. People think that they have troubles only in the place they live in. Other places have much worse troubles. If people stop to think why those troubles occur, it is because they are turning their faces away from Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. They are rebelling against Him ﷻ. Therefore, He ﷻ makes life troubled and hard in this world, and they will rise as blind in Akhirah. People will say, “Why am I blind now? I wasn’t blind in the world”. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla will reply then, “You didn’t remember Me in Dunya. You had rebelled. That is why you are blind.” They will be raised with more troubles.

The Day of Judgment is a tough day. May Allah ﷻ protect us from its hardship. Mankind cannot bear little hardship in this world. And the hardship of the judgment lasts for years. Sometimes for hundreds of years, sometimes for thousands of years do people stay in that judgment. May Allah ﷻ protect us. Those are the people who think that they are clever in this world, who rebel against Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla and don’t accept Him ﷻ. People who don’t accept His ﷻ way have hardship in Dunya and hardship a thousand times worse in Akhirah.

Eternal life is in Akhirah, and this life will pass and be over. In order to be saved from this life, either some people put an end to it by themselves, or Allah ﷻ does it. As everything has an end in this life, no matter how long someone lives, compared to the life in Akhirah, the life we are living is not even as short as the blink of an eye. Therefore, in order not to put our life here and hereafter in hardship, we should obey Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. We should appreciate the favors Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gives us and make Shukr so that these troubles are gone.

The whole world, as we said, is in trouble now. People are rebelling more and more, and are not turning to Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. They are turning to Dunya. They are striving to do things according to their minds. Therefore, these troubles are going on. The prescription for the sick is clear, but people are not accepting it. Those who accept it will be saved. Those who don’t accept it will be in trouble. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ let us live in comfort here and hereafter with His ﷻ grace and kindness insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
