8وَإِلىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارغَبMir Ahmed AliAnd1 unto thy Lord, return with fervour.‘Farghab’, i.e., get inclined—This was the instruction to the Holy Prophet—When he had finished his work as God’s apostle, i.e., completed the duties of his ministry, to fix up All in his place and then get ready to return. Note the sublime words in which God expresses His will that the Holy Prophet should retire from this world. There is no mention of death. The instructions are to incline himself, i.e., to return to Him at his own choice and pleasure for it is quite evident from this, that death to the Holy Prophet is not as it is to any other mortal but it is a willing return for which he was eagerly waiting to do. The fact is that those who fear the retribution for their life-deeds, naturally dread death and for those who are always in communion maintaining their original purity, would naturally long to return to enjoy the bliss, of which they are sure.
