Reason for an aayat of the Quraan to cause Hazrat Aaishah (radhiyallahu anha) to weep
Q: There is a book I read called "100 stories of Hazrat Aaishah (radhiyallahu anha) by Mufti Afzal Hoosen Elias".
One of the chapters that sparked my curiosty was "Her concern for the Aakhirah" It was about how she was overcome by the Surah At Toor aayat 27. The translation of the ayat is: "However, Allah has favoured us and saved us from the punishment of the scorching wind."
The book stated that she was so overcome by this aayat that she kept on reciting it repeatedly, weeping more each time. I want to know a little more about this aayat (tafseer), why was it so powerful that it made her weep so much?
A: When the reality of aakhirat dawns upon one, then when one studies the Quraan Majeed and the Mubaarak Ahaadith, the effect will not be like a person who just acquired some information, rather the effect of the Quraan Majeed and Mubaarak Ahaadith will be such that it will cause one's imaan and conviction to increase in the Hereafter, and it will be as though he perceives the scenes of the Hereafter, and he sees Jannat and Jahannum before him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
