Lesson
It has been
being described since previous verse and the verses prior to it that Allah Almighty has created the raiment for the
human beings in the world, which is an ornament for them. Similarly, He created
the things for food and drinking, so that they may reap advantage from them.
The mankind
should use these things to fulfill their requirement. Complete detail regarding
their being lawful or forbidden exists in the Revelations of Holy Qur-‘aan. The humankind has no right to
restrain himself in the matters of wearing clothes, eating and drinking, and
considering that leaving them is worship. The same matters have been admonished
in some other way.
Allah Almighty
asked from those people, who used to go round Ka’-bah with nude bodies: Who told you that wearing adornment at
the time of going round is forbidden? Allah Almighty has made the cloth
ornament for the human beings, so that they should keep their body-parts of
shame hidden.
In like manner, entire pure and clean eatable
things are lawful every time for food. God Almighty questions: Who did say!
Fast from want during the days of Pilgrimage and consider it the condition for
worship? The reality, which you should understand, is that, these things have
been created by Allah Almighty and He has explained; how to use them. You
should use them according to the way prescribed.
God Almighty
has described clearly about those things which have been forbidden by Him. You
should leave them. Moreover, whenever He has commanded to give up the use of
even good things, for instance; during fasting, then it is incumbent that you
should leave them also.
After that,
Allah Almighty ordained His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) that He should cause to know the people also: These things i.e.
raiment and food etc. have been created in the world for them only, who use
these things in accordance with the Command of Allah Almighty, admitting that
these are His grants.
Using them thereby,
these things will be given to the Believers on the Day of Resurrection after making
them cleaned and purified from disputes and errors, because during their stay
in this world, they are subjected with some at least difficulty, trouble, pain,
illness and quarrel etc. but in the Hereafter, they will be blessed after being
empty from these entire badness and they will be able to use them with full
independence.
Those people
who do not believe in Allah Almighty, they will be given these things in the
world along with big dispute, whereas, they would have no part of these things
on the Judgment Day because it is a condition to get these good things on that
Day, that the mankind should consider them a grant in the world from Allah
Almighty and use them being thankful to Him.
