AN INTERROGATION
VERSE NO. 34-41
There are some formal inquiries and questions in the above passage, presented in a logical way to bring the unbelievers to reason:-
``Do you think we treat an unbeliever and a faithful the same? What is wrong with you? How do you judge? Have you made a covenant with us? And__...?''
After a mention of what happened to the greedy gardeners, the immediate reference is made to the gardens of the Paradise which are prepared for the believers with good deeds. This is because God will never treat a righteous man the like of a faithless evildoer, neither in life nor in death.
We have to know that most heinuous of sins is rejection of God,or associating partners with Him; because it will make the faithless impervious to the light of truth. On the other hand, the love and search for the true God who is our Creator, is left in the very nature and instinct of Man. Therefore, deviation from truth will drive him towards false gods, fetishes, idiols, priests and deified men and women. God's associates and rivals will never solve the mysterious of God, or Man's spiritual problems, and therefore will render him a wanderer throughout his life, if not entirely forgetful and negligent.
We also should know that in this material life, no one has any special covenant with God to be given an exclusive favour or position above the other mortals. The outcome of Man is the fruit of his deeds. Therefore, people like Jews, who think to be the elects of God, for having a ``chosen race'' only will deceive themselves and stand on no base at all.
