Verses 1-3THE PROMISE OF RETURN TO THE SECURE SANCTUARY

      The verse implies that Allah says to His Servant Mohammad Mostafä:- ``Don't worry! The same Lord Who rescued Moses from the Chest, and brought him back from the sea to his mother and home; He will bring you back to your home town, and so victorious! The Same Gracious God, Who sent down the Qurän to you and made it incumbent upon you, to convey its Message and to fulfil its commandment, and to follow its instructions; He too will easily and successfully return you to your home again.''

      Then there is the next verse with immediate reference to the importance of Qurän:-

      ``And you were not expecting a Book to be induced to you except by a Mercy from your Lord, therefore support you not the non-believers.''

      This was in the Universal Mercy of God that the Glorious Qurän was to be revealed, as a means of rehearsal and teaching, so that its principles, rules, and instructions might be put to practice by mankind, up to the Resurrection Day.

      Most probably the prophet who was illiterate and like all his citizens unable to read a book, did not expect to receive such a wonderful miracle from His Lord, although he was sure that his Lord's Mercy was and is, infinite. Then when he was inspired with the revelation, at the beginning it brought him nothing from his people except denial, persecution, conflict, and sorrow. But in the course of time, it proved to be a real mercy from God, not only to the unlearned prophet, but to all his followers, and mankind, throughout ages. It is a miracle that no one other than God can bring the like of it, not even a chapter the like of it!

      The last verse (NO.88) will sum up the lessons of the whole Sureh. It teaches us to admit that the only reality is God who is not liable to any change, and whatever other than Him is perishable and may change to other form or state, or pass away, but Allah will endure for ever.

 

EVERYTHING IS PERISHABLE

      The Arabic, ``HÄLIK'' which has been translated to, ``PERISHABLE'' does not necessarily mean that everything will pass away and come to nothing, and if so, the Paradise and the Hell too, will have to be destroyed and reduced to non-being.

      Things are liable to change and destruction, and turning into a new thing, because their existence has been given them by an Everlasting Existence, Whom we call Allah. Allah exists substantially, and in His existence depends on no one, and nothing. If He wills something will perish, and if He wills a thing continues to be, and is preserved.

      This verse is true in this material and physical world, but it cannot be true in a spiritual world. Not only the world after the Resurrection Day is created for ever, that the Intermediate world which comes after death too, is also permanent. Even in this material world of us, things like the sun and the moon will die and lose their light emitting and shining power, but they will still keep on with their material body.

      If we look at the existing things a little deeper, we soon shall come to know that, they do not have an existence of their own self, and whatever has been bestowed on them changes all the time, and all, depend upon some other existence that never changes at all.

      As a matter of fact, any change or any movement is gradually going to some sort of a death and appearing in another kind of life.

      Our great poet, Saadi has:-

      ``O, Saadi! If the flood of death destructs the house of life; Worry not! Because the Foundation of being is firm in Him.''
