قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Say, ‘Indeed my prayer and my worship, my life and my death are for the sake of Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 6:162
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 6:162] The highest achievement of a human being is to understand and follow the laws decreed by Allah, which alone generate good in individual and collective life. All the aspects of living with reference to self, family, relatives and possessions should be employed in the service of Allah, out of His love, if one completely surrenders oneself to the will of Allah. There was no better or greater manifestation of a perfect submission to Allah than the Holy Prophet and his Ahl ul Bayt. They were divinely commissioned to establish themselves as everlasting ideals or models for mankind till the day of judgement. An all-comprehensive manifestation of such a perfect submission was seen in Karbala, where the grandson of the Holy Prophet, Imam Husayn, had sacrificed all that he had in the way of Allah. The Bible informs us that Isa said on the cross: "O my Lord! Why Thou has forsaken me?" Ibrahim covered his eyes before going to slaughter his son. Imam Husayn, every pour of his body a bleeding wound, slid over the burning sand of Naynawa from his horse at the time of Asr prayers, rested his forehead on the ground in prostration and said: "O Merciful Lord of the worlds! Husayn, Your servant, has given You everything he had received from You, in Your way. Accept the humble sacrifice of your servant. If the grandson of your messenger had more, he would have given it to you willingly. O my Lord! Be merciful and oft-forgiving to the faithfuls." There was no despair,. no remorse, no sense of loss in his last words. He did not ask anything for himself. He only remembered the faithfuls and asked forgiveness for them. He is an ideal who every refined, high-minded and virtuous person follows and glorifies.
