THE FATE OF THOSE WHO ACCEPT NO ADVICE(VERSE NO. 42)

      The argument about the unbelievers and the wrong doers still continues here. The verse reminds us of the destiny of the nations who lived before us. Messengers were sent to them one after another, but they too, rejected God's Message and belied God's Messengers. As a consequence of their rejection, Allah seized them with various hardships and misfortunes, in order to waken up their sleeply conscience, and hard hearts, and to encourage them to turn back to their Merciful Lord and Cherisher in repentance and contrition. This was because hardship and sufferings, many a time turn out to be the good gift and Grace of God to man! Through suffering we may learn humility. Hardship may counter act evil, and make us to repent and amend our characters. Misfortunes are sometimes the sources of blessings and the fountains of virtues and morality, if we take lesson of them. But if we take them in a wrong way we may lose our heart, and give room to Satan to tempt and allure us by the vain pleasures and amusements of this material world.
