Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Holy Quran Text. Translation & Commentary (the Example Commentary in Brief)(volume Three) The Inhabitants of Paradise and Hell (verse No. 7 - 8) Disbelief in the eternal life, will result in confidence and love for this temporal life; both of which are the fruits of disbelief in God as He really is. When the heart is sealed by sins, man can not expect to meet with God, or even he desires not such an inevitable meeting.
How can he expect or wish to meet with a one whom he believes not to exist? Paying no heed to the signs and symptoms that flickers from every diredtion and every where, will render him deaf and dead to reasonings found in the verses that convey God's Message. As a matter of fact, God speaks by every tongue and through every word, if only man wanted to understand. Every leaf is a book on which God's signs and verses have been cited in the sight of a man of knowledge and wisdom.
One who overlooks all these signs, the material things of this temporal life will attract his attention, and incite his greed and passion so much so that he entirely relies on this world, and puts his confidence and trust on it, and, Lo! Suddenly he has to leave all, and meet Him who created him from nothing!
Worthy of note here is that; once again stress is put on the fact that, amendment and improvement of the community of man and his social, affairs depends on his belief in God, and in God's Final Judgement, or else, man will lose his feeling of responsibility for other people, and will follow the law of the Jungle! [ 67 ] VERSE NO. 9 - 10 Contrary to those who expect not to meet with Allah, and who have put their confidence on this material life; are the believers who do righteous deeds.
Their faith is used by Allah, as an effective instrument of guidance for them, which eventually will lead them to salvation and prosperity. Good and evil in this material life will grow up and eventually turn to Gardens of Bliss, or Fire of Hell, in an eternal life. Therefore the latter group of faithful and good doers, will finally reach a world full of peace, brotherhood, and love for God. Therein they shall live an everlasting life of felicity and comfort.
They are pleased and thankful for the great rewards that they have obtained and glorify their Lord and celebrate His praise every now and then with pleasure. Here some notes are worthy of more attention namely:ِ 1- The phrase,``MEETING ALLAH'' is not necessarily seeing Him visually.
