55. That is, it is not a thing at which man should exult whatever worldly wealth a person has in his possession, he has it only for a short time. He uses it for a few years and then leaves the world empty-handed. Then, although the amount of the wealth may be very high in the ledgers, practically only a fraction of it is used by the man himself. To exult at such wealth does not behoove a man who understands the truth about himself, about his wealth and this world itself.
56. That is, that wealth is far more superior as regards to its nature and quality and is also eternal and everlasting.
57. Here, trust (tawakkul) in Allah has been regarded as an inevitable demand of the faith and a necessary characteristic for success in the Hereafter. Tawakkul means:
(1) That man should have full confidence in the guidance of Allah, and should understand that the knowledge of the truth, the principles of morality, the bounds of the lawful and the unlawful, and the rules and regulations of passing life in the world, that Allah had enjoined, are based on the truth and in following them alone lies man’s good and well being.
(2) That man should not place reliance on his own powers and abilities, means and resources, plans and schemes and the help of others than Allah, but he should keep deeply impressed in his mind the fact that his success in every thing, here and in the Hereafter, actually depends on the help and succor of Allah, and that he can become worthy of Allah’s help and succor only if he works with the object of winning His approval, within the bounds prescribed by Him.
(3) That man should have complete faith in the promises that Allah has made with those who would adopt the way of faith and righteousness and work in the cause of the truth instead of falsehood, and having faith in the same promises would discard all those benefits, gains and pleasures that may seem to accrue from following the way of falsehood, and endure all those losses, hardships and deprivations that may become his lot on account of following the truth steadfastly. From this explanation of the meaning of tawakkul it becomes obvious how deeply it is related with the faith, and why those wonderful results that have been promised to the believers who practice tawakkul cannot be obtained from the mere empty affirmation of the faith.
سورة الشُّوْرٰی حاشیہ نمبر :55
یعنی یہ کوئی ایسی چیز نہیں ہے جس پر آدمی پھول جائے ۔ بڑی سے بڑی دولت بھی جو دنیا میں کسی شخص کو ملی ہے ، ایک تھوڑی سی مدت ہی کے لیے ملی ہے ۔ چند سال وہ اس کو برت لیتا ہے اور پھر سب کچھ چھوڑ کر دنیا سے خالی ہاتھ رخصت ہو جاتا ہے ۔ پھر وہ دولت بھی چاہے بہی کھاتوں میں کتنی ہی بڑی ہو ، عملاً اس کا ایک قلیل سا حصہ ہی آدمی کے اپنے استعمال میں آتا ہے ۔ اس مال پر اترانا کسی ایسے انسان کا کام نہیں ہے جو اپنی اور اس مال و دولت کی ، اور خود اس دنیا کی حقیقت کو سمجھتا ہو ۔
سورة الشُّوْرٰی حاشیہ نمبر :56
یعنی وہ دولت اپنی نوعیت و کیفیت کے لحاظ سے بھی اعلیٰ درجے کی ہے ، اور پھر وقتی و عارضی بھی نہیں ہے بلکہ ابدی اور لازوال ہے ۔
