Advice of Scholars - THOSE WHO TURN AWAY FROM ALLAHU TA’ÂLÂ

The reason why people will not attain the blessings of the hereafter is because they turn away from Him. He who turns away will certainly get nothing. A container with a covered brim will certainly not get April’s rain. Yes, many people who have turned away still seem to live with worldly blessings and so they are considered as not being deprived. But these are given to them as a reward for their struggling for this world. However, things that are regarded as worldly blessings are, in actual fact, the seeds of torment and calamity. They are disasters which Allahu ta’âlâ deceptively gives their owners by misrepresenting them as blessings. As a matter of fact, it is declared in the fifty-sixth âyat of Sûrat-ul-Mu’minûn, “Do disbelievers presume that we are doing them a favor or are helping them by giving them property and many children? Do they say that we are rewarding them because they disbelieve my Prophet and dislike the Islamic religion? No, it is not so. They are wrong. They do not understand that these are not blessings, but disasters. ” Then, the worldly things that are given to those whose hearts have turned away from Allahu ta’âlâ are all desolation and calamity. They are like the sweetmeats given to the diabetic.
