"So when you have performed your devotions, then laud Allah as lauded your fathers, rather a greater lauding. But there are some people who say, Our Lord! give us in the world, and they shall have no resting place."
(Surah No: 2 & Verse No: 200)
When I read this verse then I think why Allah say that we did not remember Him as we lauding our fathers. Its look so strange when I observe that this verse is based on the ground realities. Since after fourteen hundred years after the Quran has been revealed but this verse is intact with all its truth. We proud on our parents, cast and never come out of this curse from our whole life. We are divided into Kashmiri, Syed, Khan, Balouch and many other casts and each cast proud on the fore fathers. We always proud and lauding the different deeds of our forefathers.
We always try to prove that our forefathers are more intelligent, brave and wise then all the other nations forefathers. We wrote the poems in which we praised their bravery. We make their pictures and praise their personalities. What is this?. All these things are the same which are happening before Islam. We do not laud the name of Allah as much as we laud our forefathers. Similarly as the Sardars of the Qurash proud and lauded about their forefathers on the occasion of the pilgrimage.
Allah wants that we lauded His name greater then our forefathers. We Kill the people on the name of our cast praising and we do not think that Allah created these tribes and cast only that we can identify the people. We have thousand of love in our heart but we do not have one love and that is the Love of Allah and His apostle. We do not seek His bounty and forgiveness.
When I go to the Umrah for the first time then I have lot of fear in my heart about my sins. When for the first time I saw the Khana Kaaba I become stun and forgot every thing. I pray to my Lord that He will forgive all my sins. But there are many people who wants the different things. Some want that Allah gave them wealth, some want that Allah gave them promotion in their work, Some want that people will respect him and the endless wishes continues. Allah in the second part of this verse informed us about the people who want that Allah will gave them in this World.
Their all demands are only to get different things of this world. The endless wishes of this world. May Allah forgive us and send His blessing on all of us and gave us the strength to laud His name.
