VAIN DESIRES ARE CAUSES OF NEGLIGENCE Verses 1-5

      Here it begins with a reference to the Book which is the Glorious Qurän.... a reading which is qualified by the adjective, ``MOBINE''

      The Arabic, ``MOBINE'' which is translated to perspicuous, means; plain to understanding, and expressing things clearly, or it may mean that the Book is not obscure or ambiguous.

      The next verse (NO.2) contains a warning for the stubborn opposers of Mohammad's doctrine or Islam, who are determined not to give way for being obstinate as a mule:ِ

      ``Many a time the unbelievers will wish to have been Muslim.''

      In other word those who stick fast to falsehood, and deliberately break God's Law, sooner or later will know what a great mistake have they done! When they see the consequences of rejecting Islam and faith; again and again they will wish to have submitted to their Lord and obeyed His Messengers. But they have no power to return, and no chance to repent. Then with a pounding tone the verses are continued saying:ِ ``Let them eat and enjoy, and let their vain desires keep them asleep and unaware, and soon they will know the result.''

      Disbelievers foolishly rely upon the physical pleasures, and bodily needs and enjoyments, just as the cattle do! They are not aware of the limitless spiritual bounties and happiness, that may await them in the invisible worlds. Negligence and ignorance has covered their eyes, so much, that they are no better than a blind in seeing their position. Vanity and pride has filled their hearts and locked their minds! But when death comes to them; it slaps them so hard on the face, that opens their eyes widely. Then they come to know how far have they gone astray, and how rudely have they spoiled the most valuable capital of their life! They do eventually come to know; when they cannot help! They will know the medicine when their patient has died!

      In fact, every individual, as well as every nation, will have an end after a certain term during which they have time to set the foundations of an eternal happiness for themselves, and perhaps for some others. But when their time is over, and their term is passed; they shall have no more opportunity either for repentance or compensation.
