فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الطَّآمَّۃُ الْکُبْرٰی ﴿۫ۖ۳۴﴾
But when the biggest calamity will come.
یَوْمَ
یَتَذَکَّرُ الْاِنۡسٰنُ مَا سَعٰی ﴿ۙ۳۵﴾
That day when man will call to mind all that he strove for.
وَ
بُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِیۡمُ لِمَنۡ یَّرٰی ﴿۳۶﴾
And the Hell will be made manifest to him who sees.
فَاَمَّا مَنۡ طَغٰی ﴿ۙ۳۷﴾
Then as for him who rebelled;
وَ
اٰثَرَ الْحَیٰوۃَ الدُّنْیَا ﴿ۙ۳۸﴾
And preferred the life of this world,
فَاِنَّ الْجَحِیۡمَ ہِیَ الْمَاْوٰی ﴿ؕ۳۹﴾
Then undoubtedly, the hell his destination.
وَ
اَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّہٖ وَ نَہَی النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْہَوٰی ﴿ۙ۴۰﴾
But as to him who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained his soul from evil desires;
فَاِنَّ الْجَنَّۃَ ہِیَ الْمَاۡوٰی ﴿ؕ۴۱﴾
Then undoubtedly, the Paradise is his destination.
Tafsir al-Kabeer التفسیر الکبیر
رُوِيَ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا رَأْسُ كُلِّ خَطِيئَةٍ»
The Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – is reported to have said:
The love of the world is the cause of all evil.

Tafsir Rooh al-Bayaan تفسیر روح البیان
وفى الحديث ان أخوف ما أتخوف على أمتي الهوى وطول الأمل
اما الهوى فيصد عن الحق
واما طول الأمل فينسى الآخرة
قال بعض الكبار الهوى عبارة عن الشهوات السبع المذكورة فى قوله تعالى:
زين للناس حب الشهوات من
وقد أدرجها الله فى أمرين كما قال:
انما الحياة الدنيا لعب ولهو
ثم أدرجها فى أمر واحد وهو ِ ،،الهوى،، فى الآية
فالهوى جامع لانواع الشهوات فمن تخلص من الهوى فقد تخلص من جميع القيود والبرازخ
One who restrained his soul from evil desires…
Hadeeth: I fear upon my Ummah the evil desires (whims, fancies, fantasies) and lengthy expectations.
The desires prevent one from (seeking) the truth.
Lengthy expectations make one oblivious of the hereafter.
Some of the pious predecessors said: Al-hawa are the seven desires mentioned in the following statement of the Almighty:
زُیِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّہَوٰتِ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ وَالْبَنِیۡنَ وَالْقَنٰطِیۡرِ الْمُقَنۡطَرَۃِ مِنَ الذَّہَبِ وَالْفِضَّۃِ وَالْخَیۡلِ الْمُسَوَّمَۃِ وَالۡاَنْعٰمِ وَالْحَرْثِؕ
Adorned for men is the love of these lusts:
- Women and
- Children and
- The stored up heaps of Gold and
- Silver and
- Branded horses and
- Cattle and
- Crops.
(Ale Imran 3, Verse 14)
He then summed it all up in two things, as He states:
وَمَا ہٰذِہِ الْحَیٰوۃُ الدُّنْیَاۤ اِلَّا لَہۡوٌ وَّ لَعِبٌ ؕ
And this life of the world is nothing but (1) sport and (2) play.
(Al-‘Ankaboot 29, Verse 64)
And then He contained it all in a single entity “Al-Hawa” (evil desires) in this verse.
Al-Hawa encompasses all types of lusts and evil desires. If one succeeds to overcome evil desires, he will be able to get rid of all the shackles and restraints.
قال محمد بن الحسن رحمه الله كنت نائما ذات ليلة إذا أنا بالباب يدق ويقرع فقلت انظروا من ذلك فقال رسول الخليفة هرون يدعوك
فخفت على روحى وقمت ومضيت اليه فلما دخلت عليه قال دعوتك فى مسئلة ان أم محمد يعنى زبيده قلت لها انى امام العدل وامام العدل فى الجنة فقالت انك ظالم عاص قد شهدت لنفسك بالجنة فكذبت بذلك على الله وحرمت عليك
فقلت له يا أمير المؤمنين إذا وقعت فى معصية فهل تخاف الله فى تلك الحال او بعدها فقال اى والله أخاف خوفا شديدا فقلت له أنا اشهد ان لك جنتين لا جنة واحدة قال الله تعالى
ولمن حاف مقام ربه جنتان
Sayyiduna Muhammad ibn Hasan – may Allah be pleased with him – said: One night while I was asleep, someone knocked at the door. I said, “Who is there.” He replied, “I am the messenger of the Khalifah Haroon. He has summoned you.”
I got frightened to my soul. I stood up and went to him. When I met him, he said to me, “I have been summoned regarding a query. I said to Umm Muhammad i.e. Zubaidah that I am a just leader and a just leader will enter Paradise. She said, ‘You are an oppressor and sinner and yet you testify by yourself to deserve paradise. You associated a lie to Allah about it and the paradise is forbidden for you’.”
I said, “O Ameerul Mu’mineen, do you fear Allah whenever you indulge in any vices or after it?”
He said, “Yes, of course, I fear Allah to a great extent.”
I then said to him, “Then I can testify that you deserve two paradises, not just one. Allah Almighty has stated:
وَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّہٖ جَنَّتَانِ ﴿ۚ۴۶﴾
But for him who fears to stand before his Lord there are two Paradises. “
(Al-Rahman 55, Verse 46)
عبد الملك بن مروان خليفه روزكار بود وابو حازم امام وزاهد وقت بود از وى پرسيد كه يا أبا حازم فردا حال وكار ما چون خواهد بود كفت اگر قرآن مى خوانى قرآن ترا جواب ميدهد كفت كجا ميكويد كفت فاما من طغى الى قوله فان الجنة هى المأوى
Abdul Malik ibn Marwan was the Khalifah of his time and Imam Abu Hazim was the Imam and a pious man of his time. Marwan asked him, “What will become of you and me on the Day of Judgment, O Abu Hazim?”
Imam Abu Hazim replied, “Had you only read Quran, it would have educated you better.”
He asked to elaborate, so the Imam recited the following verses of the Holy Quran:
فَاَمَّا مَنۡ طَغٰی ﴿ۙ۳۷﴾
Then as for him who rebelled;
وَ
اٰثَرَ الْحَیٰوۃَ الدُّنْیَا ﴿ۙ۳۸﴾
And preferred the life of this world,
فَاِنَّ الْجَحِیۡمَ ہِیَ الْمَاْوٰی ﴿ؕ۳۹﴾
Then undoubtedly, the hell his destination.
وَ
اَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّہٖ وَ نَہَی النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْہَوٰی ﴿ۙ۴۰﴾
But as to him who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained his soul from evil desires;
فَاِنَّ الْجَنَّۃَ ہِیَ الْمَاۡوٰی ﴿ؕ۴۱﴾
Then undoubtedly, the Paradise is his destination.
(Al-Nazi’aat 79, Verse 37-41)
بدانكه در دنيا هر نفسى را آتش شهوتست ودر عقبى آتش عقوبت
هر كه امروز بآتش شهوت سوخته كردد فردا بآتش عقوبت رسد
وهر كه امروز بآب رياضت ومجاهده آتش شهوت بنشاند وهمچنين در دنيا در دل هر مؤمن بهشتى است كه آنرا بهشت عرفان كويند ودر عقبى بهشتى است كه آنرا رضوان.
Know that everyone in the world who has the fire of evil desires will deserve the fire of punishment in the hereafter.
One who is burning with evil desires in the world today will be thrown in the fire of torment tomorrow.
On the other hand, one who extinguishes the fire of evil desires with the water of striving in worship through Mujahada. It is like a paradise in every believer’s heart in the world, which is called Irfan (Allah’s recognition), and in the hereafter there is Paradise for him which is called Ridwan
