Section 4
Those who disbelieve the meeting of Allah are certainly losers
Rejection of Truth is a sure loss. Life of this world is nothing but play and pastime - The abode of the Hereafter is the best for the pious.
(31) قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِلِقاءِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى إِذا جاءَتْهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً قالُوا يا حَسْرَتَنا
عَلى ما فَرَّطْنا فِيها وَ هُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ أَوْزارَهُمْ عَلى ظُهُورِهِمْ أَلا ساءَ ما يَزِرُونَ
31. " They indeed are losers who deny the meeting with Allah until, when the hour comes on them all of a sudden, they will say : ' Alas for us, for what we neglected in it ! ' And they shall bear their burdens on their backs; now beware, evil is that which they bear ! "
Commentary :
The purpose of "meeting of Allah" is the spiritual meeting and inner intuition in the Hereafter. The reason of it is that all of the dependances of man unto wealth, position, and relatives will be ceased from him there, and, by facing with the divine reward and retribution, he will perceive the absolute Sovereignty of Allah.
Regret is for losing merits and interests, while remorse is for damages coming forth.(1) However, in the Hereafter regret is useless. That is why sins will be burdens on the shoulder of the sinners. They feel their evil consequence like a heavy load on their back, specially when they see the scene of the Divine punishment.
Therefore, evil is the burden that will be stored for the evil doers !
The verse says :
" They indeed are losers who deny the meeting with Allah until, when the hour comes on them all of a sudden, they will say : ' Alas for us, for what we neglected in it ! ' And they shall bear their burdens on their backs; now beware, evil is that which they bear ! "
