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.

وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي وَفَّىٰٓ

37. And (of) Abraham who fulfilled his duty?

ആയത്ത്: 38

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

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

ആയത്ത്: 39

وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

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

11. 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. 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.”

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 'Allāh' is the End (and the Return of all after their death).

ആയത്ത്: 43

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ

43. 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

ആയത്ത്: 47

وَأَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ

47. And on Him depends the life of the Hereafter.

ആയത്ത്: 48

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰ

48. It is He who enriches and suffices.

ആയത്ത്: 49

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰ

49. It is He Who is the Lord of Sirius¹⁴.

14. The star which the pagans used to wrongly worship.

ആയത്ത്: 50

وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

50. It is He (Allāh) Who utterly destroyed the ‘Aad (people) of old.

ആയത്ത്: 51

وَثَمُودَاْ فَمَآ أَبۡقَىٰ

51. And Thamud (people), so He spared none of them.

ആയത്ത്: 52

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ

ആയത്ത്: 56

هَٰذَا نَذِيرٞ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ

56. This is a warner (messenger) of the (series of) warners (messengers) of old.

ആയത്ത്: 57

أَزِفَتِ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةُ

57. The Day (of Resurrection and Judgment) is drawing nearer.

ആയത്ത്: 58

لَيۡسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ

58. None but Allāh can disclose it or remove it's hardship.

ആയത്ത്: 60

وَتَضۡحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبۡكُونَ

60. And you laugh and do not weep16?

16. Muhammad, God's Messenger (PBUH) 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 Hell) Fire 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.
