ذَٰلِكُم بِأَنَّكُمُ ٱتَّخَذۡتُمۡ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ هُزُوٗا وَغَرَّتۡكُمُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ لَا يُخۡرَجُونَ مِنۡهَا وَلَا هُمۡ يُسۡتَعۡتَبُونَ
That is because you took the verses of Allah in ridicule, and worldly life deluded you." So that Day they will not be removed from it, nor will they be asked to appease [Allah]
In the present world when a man commits evil, its bad results do not at once appear before him. This serves to embolden him. When he is warned about his bad deeds, he is not prepared to give any serious attention to this. But, in the Hereafter, the consequences of his misdeeds will appear before his eyes and he will be completely engulfed in them. At that time he will accept the Truth, which he had formerly ridiculed as being worthless. In the Hereafter, man will accept the Truth which he denied in this world. But this will carry no weight there, as it is only acceptance of Truth at the ‘unseen’ level which is of value, not acceptance after the revelation of Reality.
موجوده دنيا ميں آدمي جب برائي كرتا هے تو اس كے برے نتائج فوراً اس كے سامنے نهيں آتے۔ يه چيزاس كو دلير بناديتي هے۔ اس كو جب اس كي بدعملي سے ڈرايا جاتا هے تو وه سنجيدگي كے ساتھ اس كو سننے كے ليے تيار نهيں هوتا۔ مگر آخرت ميں اس كي برائيوں كے نتائج اس كي آنكھوں كے سامنے آجائيں گے۔ وه اپني بداعماليوں ميں پوري طرح گھر چكا هوگا۔ اس وقت وه اس حق كا اقرار كرلے گا جس كو دنيا ميں اس نے اتنا بے قيمت سمجھا تھا كه وه اس كا مذاق اڑاتا رها۔
آخرت ميں انسان اس حق كا اقرار كرے گا جس كو وه دنيا ميں جھٹلاتا رها۔ مگر وهاں اس كو قبول نهيں كيا جائے گا۔ كيوں كه حق كا اقرار غيب كي سطح پر قيمت ركھتا هے، نه كه شهود كي سطح پر۔
