English Translation of Al-Quran
[06] Surah Al-An'am [The Cattle]
Ayat 8. And they say: "Why has not an angel been sent down to him?" Had We sent down an angel, the matter would have been judged at once, and no respite would be granted to them.
Tafseer of Surah Al An'am (The Cattle) Ayat 8. They say: "Why is not an angel sent down to him?" If we did send down an angel, the matter would be
settled at once, and no respite would be granted them. Cf. 2:210. An angel is a heavenly being, a manifestation of Allah's glory, invisible to men who live gross material lives. Such men are given plenty of respite in which to turn in repentance to Allah and make themselves worthy of His light. But if their prayer to see an angel were granted, it would do them no good, for they would be destroyed as darkness is destroyed by light (see also 41:14).
English Translation of Hadith
Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) supplicating in my house: "O Allah! Treat harshly those who rule over my Ummah with harshness, and treat gently those who rule over my Ummah with gentleness.''
[Muslim]..
Lesson : as mentioned above in Hadith How fortunate is a ruler who establishes his claim to the special benediction of Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) by providing justice to people! On the other hand, how unfortunate is that ruler who incurs the Prophetic imprecations by doing injustice to people! This Hadith is suggestive of a rulership based on justice and lays emphasis on refraining injustice and atrocity. Here the attention of rulers has been invited to their obligations. They are told that their designation is very important because they are responsible for tackling the problems and affairs of millions of people. If their single-minded devotion, determined efforts and heartfelt feelings of well-wishing will not go to solving these problems, they will be deemed guilty by Allah. Rulers are, therefore, warned, lest power should go to their head and make them unheedful of people's problems, rights and concerns. Instead being fully conscious of their accountability to Allah (SWT) they are apt to make full efforts to provide justice and peace to people.
