أَمۡ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱجۡتَرَحُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن نَّجۡعَلَهُمۡ كَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ سَوَآءٗ مَّحۡيَاهُمۡ وَمَمَاتُهُمۡۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحۡكُمُونَ
Or do those who commit evils think We will make them like those who have believed and done righteous deeds - [make them] equal in their life and their death? Evil is that which they judge
One who thinks that it is all the same whether a man leads a virtuous life or a life of evil—since either way he ultimately has to die and perish—is nurturing an extremely erroneous idea. This way of thinking runs counter to the consciousness of justice which is found in the very nature of every man right from his birth. Moreover, this amounts to denying the meaningfulness of the universe, which is immanent in it to the ultimate degree. The fact is that man’s inherent nature and the vast universe around him both completely nullify the concept by which life is treated as being so purposeless as not to lead to any significant outcome.
جو شخص يه خيال كرے كه آدمي اچھا بن كر رهے يا برا بن كر، سب برابر هے۔ آخر كار دونوں هي كو مركر مٹ جانا هے، وه نهايت غلط خيال اپنے دماغ ميں قائم كرتا هے۔ ايسا سمجھنا اس شعورِ عدل كے خلاف هے جو هر آدمي كي فطرت ميں پيدائشي طورپر موجود هے۔ نيز يه كائنات كي اس معنويت كا انكار كرنا هےجو اس كے نظام ميں كمال درجه ميں پائي جاتي هے۔ حقيقت يه هے كه انسان كي اندروني فطرت اور اس كے باهر كي وسيع كائنات دونوں اس كو سراسر باطل ثابت كرتے هيں كه زندگي كو ايك ايسي بے مقصد چيز سمجھ ليا جائے جس كا كوئي انجام سامنے آنے والا نهيں۔
