Who are the greatest losers in this world and in the hereafters?

[shaikhrafique]

BY Mohammad Rafique Etesame

 

 

The holy Qur,an reveals,” Say: Shall We inform you who will be the greatest losers by their works? ﴾10  Those whose effort goeth astray in the life of the world, and yet they reckon that they do good work. Those are they who disbelieve in the revelations of their Lord and in the meeting with Him. Therefor their works are vain, and on the Day of Resurrection We assign no weight to themThat is their reward: hell, because they disbelieved, and made a jest of Our revelations and Our messengers.” ﴾ Al kahaf:106﴿

These verses indicate about those who are the greatest losers both in this world and in the hereafter.

  So, they are those who don’t believe in the existence stance of God and of meeting with Him and denied His signs found in the universe i.e.  in the horizon and in man’s own soul. Therefore, all there

 

 good deeds went in the air and they will not get any good reward for them. Infect, these are the infidels

 and the polytheists.  Because they believe that Everything is in this world and nothing else is after it. So, they tried their best to make everything better   and comfortableand they spent all of their Competency

 in it.

Here a question arises that what means that, ” on the Day of Resurrection We assign no weight to

 them”?

So, what is the reality of the weighing of good or bad deeds? Infect it will be judged by weighing that

 How sincere they are? Whether they are done only for the pleasure of Allah   or to anyone else i.e to be seen in the people or   to any other god etc.?  If they are done under the command and for the pleasure of Him, then they will be very heavy in weight and if it will be not, then they will be light-weighted and

 

 will be rejected. And, Balance is where there are two things interact i.e. goodness or badness. And

 when infidel’s and polytheist’s good deeds go in vain due to wrong belief, then there will be no

 weighing for them.

As for the Muslims, so their case is different. Because they have firm belief in oneness of Allah Almighty and fear Him and hope His mercy and forgiveness, and they obey all the commands of Allah, and follow

 the good example of the holy ProphetPBUH, ( uswae hasanah),  and get guidance from the Companions of the holy Prophet ( may God be pleased with them,)    so, Allah will forgive all of their minor and major

 sins (by

repentance) and will enter them Paradise and this is the great success.

 

   

 

The holy Quran reveals,” ‘O you servants of Mine who have transgressed

 

 against your own selves! Despair not of God’s mercy: behold, God forgives all sins - for, verily, He alone is much-forgiving, a dis­penser of grace!”( Az-Zumar (The Groups) 39:53).

This is the  fruit of the faith of a Muslim.   As opposed to unbelievers that they will not be forgiven at all, according to the holy Quran,” Verily Allah shall not forgive that aught be associated with Him, and He will forgive all else unto whomsoever He liketh; and whosoever associateth ought with Allah, hath surely strayed away a far straying. ﴾ An-

Nisa:116).

 

In short, anyone who wants to be safe and sound from the losses and to be successful forever, so he

 should come under the flag of Islam because salvation is only in Islam.
