Tafsir

Necessity of turning away from the Misguided People

فَأَعْرِ‌ضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِ‌نَا وَلَمْ يُرِ‌دْ إِلَّا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ (So, turn away from him who turns away from Our advice, and seeks nothing but (pleasure of) the worldly life.... An-Najm 53: 29 30

A Special Warning

The Qur'an here describes the condition of those unbelievers who denied the Hereafter and the Day of Judgment. Regretfully, nowadays the Muslims have characterized themselves by the same condition as a result of Western education and material needs and desires. All our attempts to make progress in the fields of various branches of knowledge, sciences and arts pivot on, or revolve around, economics. They do not think even by mistake about ma'adiyyat (matters relating to the Life Hereinafter). We believe in the Holy Prophet and hope for his intercession. But Allah commands the Holy Prophet to withdraw from the people of misguidance and shun them. We seek refuge in Allah from such misguidance!
