وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَلَلدَّارُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ 32

32. Naught is the life of the world save a pastime and a
sport. And better far is the abode of the Hereafter for those who keep their
duty (to Allah). Have ye then no sense?

Commentary
It has been being described in
the previous verses that the humankind casts behind the Commands
of Allah Almighty by indulging in embarrassment of his own desires.
He/she does never think: I would have to get the retribution in the life after
death for those deeds, which I have been doing in this world, and I would have
to be set before Allah Almighty and answer His questions. And it will
never be possible; either to cheat Him or try to be saved from His punishment
by providing any false statement before Him. An abstract to this effect has
been given in the verse of today’s lesson, and complete reality of the life of
this world has been described briefly.
It is commanded that the
life of the world is Naught but only a pastime and a sport. Every person who has
sense whether only a little, can understand easily that any sport is the name
of amusement for a short time. It is impossible to play every time. Everyone
should understand properly that this world is an accidental thing for a few
days. Neither any person could live in it forever, and nor can stay.
That person, who has been
involved in only worldly works and passes his/her entire time for thinking
about worldly benefits only, is like him, who wastes his whole time in a sport.
Any wise person cannot say him “a sensible, laborious or active person”. And
then it is also sure that any time he/she is weary of playing. Such a condition
is of that person, who has been entangled in the world. Many desires grow in
his heart. He runs behind all of them and wishes to keep his pleasure stable.
But after some time either he is tired of it or after fulfillment of the desire
his heart is disgusted and he feels ashamed on his deed. Even he reaches, at
last, such stage that his strength becomes disabling. Being wearied he lies
down and does not remain able to fulfill his wishes. He uses to long for
fulfilling his desires, but his physical and mental strength and power do not
cooperate with him.
Contrary to above, neither will
he feel ever tired of fulfilling the desires, which will be for the life of the
Last Day, nor his power and strength will end, nor any weakness, illness,
grief, sorrow, confusion and nor will death-like anything be the next. That
life can be acquired only in this way that the person should fear Allah Almighty,
which means that “having fear of His punishment, every forbidden thing and deed
should be given up in the world”. And better far is the abode of the Hereafter
for those who keep their duty to Allah Almighty. Have you then no sense
that you would have to choose the perpetual thing by leaving any casual thing?
