Commentary
Musiibatun – (calamity,
woe, trouble), its literal meanings are misery, distress, accident, chance.
Once the Messenger of Allah Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and peace be
upon Him) commanded that which thing a Muslim feels un-pleasant that is the musiibat for
him. So it is known that this word has many vast and common meanings.
We have
studied in the verse before it that the Muslims will be tested by God
Almighty through different manners of difficulties, calamities, and troubles
from time to time, the person who will keep perseverance and steadfastness; he
will succeed easily in these tests. So the future consequence of the steadfast
will be better. The token of the patient has been mentioned in the today’s
verse that the people, who say at the time of musiibat(any
difficulty) “Lo! We are Allah’s and lo! Unto Him we are returning”, they
are included in the steadfast.
We have learnt three
things in this verse:
1. We all and everything
of ours is the property of God Almighty. Nothing is our own including ourselves
(as we claim that), our entire things, wives, children, wealth, property,
native country, dynasty, body and soul. It is the cause of grief, sorrow, pain
and desire of the human being that he supposes that his beloved things are his
own. When this thought will be expelled from the mind and it will be considered
that God Almighty is the Master, Possessor and Owner of everything, then there
will be no scope for sorrow, sadness and displeasure. We have to repeat these
words in every hard, difficult, trouble and calamity, “Ours is nothing here.
Everything is of God Almighty and has to return towards Him”.
2. Whether the sorrows,
troubles, pains and difficulties are too much heavy, all are temporary, mortal,
transitory, coming and going. These entire will end and soon; we would have to
attend the Court of Real Master Almighty, so why should we be afraid of them?
3. These calamities and
tests are not useless by chance. Their remuneration and reward shall be granted
during the next life i.e. on the Day of Resurrection. The individual, who bore
them with steadfastness, remained standing on the Just and did not give up the
real cause, he shall be rewarded due to his fortitude.
A person, how much will have strong faith in
these fidelity, so much he will remain in contentment and quiet. We
should bear in our minds these things properly, so that it may become stamped
on our hearts. Although the relation of steadfastness is with the heart but due
to saying these words with tongue, the tongue becomes companion of the heart
and the person gets power and strength from it. It has been mentioned about the
Messenger of God Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon
Him) that He used to recite “‘Innaa Lillaahi wa
‘innaaa ‘ilayHi raaji-‘uun” (Lo! We are Allah’s and lo! Unto Him
we are returning) in even any most light difficulty, trouble or un-pleasant
situation.
