ആയത്ത്: 31

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَى

32. Those who stay away from major sins⁹ and indecencies, except minor lapses. Your Lord 'Allāh' is vast in Forgiveness. He knows best about you. When He created you from the earth, and when you were embryos in your mother's wombs. So do not elevate yourselves 'and be wise in your own eyes'. He knows best who fear Him and shun evil.

9. Muhammad, God's messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), said: “Avoid the deadly sins, follow the right course, and give glad tidings.”

ആയത്ത്: 38

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ

38. That no one shall bear 'responsibility for' the sin of another¹⁰,

10. Unless they encourage or assist others to sin - perfect Justice from God.

ആയത്ത്: 39

وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

39. And that man shall have only what he himself strives for¹¹,

11. This world is the passageway to the Hereafter and that no one should be attached to this world at the expense of the Hereafter. Muslims regard the Hereafter as their focal point because it is eternal life, so we should strive for that aim and not for a life that is short and transient. This does not mean that we should not strive for worldly aims too or develop the earth. There is no doubt about the fact that man cannot make any progress without effort and hard work. For example, one who studies whole-heartedly becomes a scholar. Similarly, a farmer who ploughs the farm, sows seeds in it and waters them, is soon rewarded with crops. On the other hand, whoever is lazy and indolent and does not do any work, is faced with woes and worries. Indolence and irresponsibility results in poverty and grief, and Islam dislikes these traits very much. Islam regards hard work a duty. One who works is much better than one who does not work. Allāh does not love those who sleep too much, and do not work. Laziness and idleness is the root of many evil things, while working hard and helping others is virtue. Muslims achieved distinction in these fields, they also achieved great things in the fields of worship and obedience to Allaah. Muhammad, God's messenger, said, “When the human being dies, his deeds end except for three: ongoing charity 'that continues to benefit people', beneficial knowledge 'that helps people in their lives', or a righteous child who prays for him.” So the Muslim strives more in what brings him close to Allāh.

ആയത്ത്: 40

وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰ

40. And that his strivings shall soon be seen -

ആയത്ത്: 41

ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ

41. Then he shall be rewarded for it with the fullest reward,

ആയത്ത്: 42

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

42. And to your Lord 'alone' is the End (and the ultimate Return of all after their death).

ആയത്ത്: 43

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ

43. And that it is He 'Allāh' Who causes you laugh¹² or weep¹³.

12. The Qur’an is clear that there is a time for us to laugh, time to weep, a time to mourn and a time to play. Obviously, it is not appropriate to laugh during a somber event or a serious conversation; however, there are moments when laughter is welcomed and we should enjoy the blessing. Allāh wants us to laugh, and He wants us to make other people laugh. That does not mean we should all become jesters or laugh at inappropriate times, but we can certainly aid one another in taking a more lighthearted approach to life.
13. If Allah’s servants did cry out to Him, He would forgive their sins and renew their spiritual strength and vitality. When our distinct cries of repentance and trust reach Allāh, He hears them, forgives us, and renews our joy and hope in Him.

ആയത്ത്: 44

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ إِذَا تُمۡنَىٰ

46. from a sperm-drop when it is emitted.

ആയത്ത്: 47

وَأَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ

47. And that upon Him is the next creation.

ആയത്ത്: 48

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰ

48. And that it is He who enriches and suffices.

ആയത്ത്: 49

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰ

49. And that it is He Who is the Lord of Sirius¹⁴.

ആയത്ത്: 56

وَتَضۡحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبۡكُونَ

60. And you laugh and do not weep16?

16.Muhammad, God's Messenger delivered a sermon to his companions, the like of which they had never heard from him before. He said, "If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much". Thereupon those present covered their faces and began weeping. The Prophet further said, "Heaven 'Paradise' and HellFire were shown to me and I have never seen the like of this day in good and in evil. If you were to know what I know, you would laugh little and weep much". His Companions experienced such suffering on that day that had no equal. They covered their faces and began to weep. We learn from this that Heaven and Hell are real and do exist. Excessive laughing is improper because it indicates that one is careless and forgetful about the Hereafter. While a believer is required to be all the time alert and careful about it. To weep out of fear of God is praiseworthy because it indicates that one's heart is alive and he is worried about the Hereafter.
