يَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَيَاتِي ٢٤
Meaning: If he was a disobedient person, he will regret the acts of disobedience he committed, and if he was an obedient person, he will wish that he performed more acts of obedience. Ibn Kathir: 4/511.
Question: On the Day of Resurrection, the feeling of regret will not be limited to committing sins. Explain.
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفۡسُ ٱلۡمُطۡمَئِنَّةُ ٢٧ ٱرۡجِعِيٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةٗ مَّرۡضِيَّةٗ ٢٨
Meaning: A tranquil soul is one that reaches certainty in faith beyond any doubt. Moreover, it is said that a tranquil soul will not have fear at that time. Ibn Juzay: 2/572.
Question: What is the quality with which the soul deserves to be pleased?
لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ فِي كَبَدٍ ٤
This means all hardships that man suffers and goes through in this world, after death (Al-Barzakh), and on the Day of Resurrection. So man should strive hard to do what will bring him relief from these hardships and lead to eternal bliss and joy, for if he does not do that, he will continue to suffer harsh punishment for all eternity. Al-Saadi: 925.
Question: Are the hardships that man goes through limited to this worldly life? How can he save himself from these hardships?
يَقُولُ أَهۡلَكۡتُ مَالٗا لُّبَدًا ٦
Allah describes spending on desires and sins as squandering, because the spender does not benefit from what he spends, and his spending only leads to regret, loss, exhaustion and diminishing of wealth. Al-Saadi: 925.
Question: The word (squandered) is used, not "spent", why?
أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ ٨ وَلِسَانٗا وَشَفَتَيۡنِ ٩ وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجۡدَيۡنِ ١٠
These immense blessings entail a person to fulfill his duties toward Allah, be grateful to Him for His blessings, and not use them to disobey Him. Al-Saadi: 925.
Question: Knowing that Allah had made your eyes, tongue, and lips, and shown you the two ways (good and evil), what should be your viable position toward these blessings?
فَلَا ٱقۡتَحَمَ ٱلۡعَقَبَةَ ١١ وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡعَقَبَةُ ١٢
The difficult pass refers to the righteous deeds mentioned afterward. The term (difficult pass) is used here to resemble the difficulty of passing over a mountain, which is rigorous and demanding for souls. Ibn Juzay: 2/574.
Question: Righteous deeds are referred to as (difficult pass). Why?
يَتِيمٗا ذَا مَقۡرَبَةٍ ١٥
(Relative), kinship. He is singled out because feeding him is more worthy than others. This is supported by the Prophetic Hadith: "Giving charity to a poor person is charity, and [giving] to a relative is two things, charity and upholding the ties of kinship." Al-Shanqiti: 8/533.
Question: The orphan relative is singled out for feeding. Why?
