This is Allah (25) What if Allah Should Take People to Task for What They Have Earned Right Now?
Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to help them in order to know and acknowledge their Creator.
Verses 35:32-35 of the Noble Quran talks about: 1) Allah Classifies the Muslim's community into three types, 2) What is the final Dwelling of the Believers? 3) What the Believers will say when they enter the Paradise? 4) What the Believers will wear in the Paradise? And 5) Is there Gold and or Silk in the Paradise?
The meaning of verse 35:44:
Have they not traveled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them - and they were mightier than these in power?, but [still] Allah destroyed them for their denial of the messengers.
And Allah is not such that anything in the heavens or in the earth can escape Him, pre-empt Him or elude Him. Truly He is ever Knower, of all things, Omnipotent.
In other words, the verse says that: Have they i.e. the disbelievers not traveled in the land and seen and reflect upon (the nature of the consequence) the punishment (for those who were before them) when they disbelieved in their messengers, (and they were mightier) in physical strength (than these in power) and had more children? (Allah is not such that aught in the heavens or in the earth) of creation (escape Him. Lo! He is the Aware) He knows His creation, (the Mighty) He has power over them.
This verse encourages traveling in the land and studying the history of the ancient people in order to realize the outcome of the deniers.
The meaning of verse 35:45:
Were Allah to take mankind to task for what they have acquired, of acts of disobedience, He would not leave on its surface, that is, the earth's, a single creature, a single living thing moving thereon. But He reprieves them to an appointed term, namely, [to] the Day of Resurrection. And when their term comes, then truly [they will know that] Allah is ever Seer of His servants, and so He will requite them according to [the nature of] their deeds, rewarding the believers and punishing the disbelievers.
In other words, if Allah took mankind to task by that which they deserve by their sins, He would not leave a living creature on the surface of the earth; but He reprieves them unto an appointed term, and when their term, when the time of their destruction comes then verily they will know that Allah is ever Seer of His slaves. He knows who to destroy and who to spare.
