حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يَٰلَيۡتَ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَكَ بُعۡدَ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقَيۡنِ فَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡقَرِينُ
Until, when he comes to Us [at Judgement], he says [to his companion], "Oh, I wish there was between me and you the distance between the east and west - how wretched a companion
Man’s turning away from good advice means his rejection of reality. Divine reality comes before him with undeniable, reasoned arguments. However, in order to protect his interests, he ignores it. One who does so makes false statements against it in order to justify his stand. This is when Satan has the opportunity to get the better of him and turn his mind in the wrong direction. Keeping the man busy with false justifications, Satan goes on assuring him that he is on the right path. The spell of deceit is broken only when the man meets his death and is produced before God for the final reckoning. In this world, man is wont to readily make friends with anyone who supports his falsehood, but in the Hereafter, he will curse all such companions. He will then want them to stay so far away from him that he should be able neither to see their faces nor hear their voices.
نصيحت سے اعراض كرنا يه هے كه آدمي حقيقت كا اعتراف نه كرے۔ خدائي حقيقت اس كے سامنے ايسے دلائل كے ساتھ آئے جس كا وه انكار نه كرسكتا هو مگر وه اپني مصلحتوں كے تحفظ كي خاطر اس كو نظر انداز كردے۔
ايسا شخص اپنے موقف كو درست ثابت كرنے كے لیے اس كے خلاف جھوٹي باتيں كرتاهے۔ يهي وه وقت هے جب كه شيطان كو يه موقع مل جاتا هے كه وه اس كے اوپر مسلط هوجائے، وه اس كي عقل كو غلط رخ پر دوڑانے لگے۔ فرضي توجيهات ميں مشغول كركے شيطان اس كو يقين دلاتا رهتا هے كه تم حق پر هو۔ يه فريب صرف اس وقت ٹوٹتا هے جب كه آدمي كي موت آتي هے اور وه خدا كے سامنے آخري حساب كے لیے كھڑا كرديا جاتا هے۔
دنيا ميں آدمي كا حال يه هے كه وه اس كو اپنا دوست اور ساتھي بنا ليتاهے جو اس كے جھوٹ كي تائيد كرے۔ مگر آخرت ميں وه ايسے تمام ساتھيوں پر لعنت كرے گا۔ وه چاهے گا كه وه اس سے اتنا دور هوجائيں كه وه نه ان كي شكل ديكھے اور نه ان كي آواز سنے۔
