قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

سعادت و شقاوت؛ نتیجة اعمال, گفتار و نیات ما

«شقوة» و «شقاوة» ضد سعادت است. شقاوت» شر و آفنی است که دامان انسان را می‌گیردء و سعادت به معنای فراهم بودن اسباب نعمت و نیکی است. در هر حال, هر دو (شقاوت و سعادت) جیزی جز نتیجة اعمال، کَفتار ونیات ما نیست و اعتقاد به اینکه سعادت و شقاوت یک امر ذاتی است که همراه انسان متولد می‌شود.ء پنداری بیش نیست که بر خلاف دعوت همه انبیا و تلاش‌های همه راهنمایان و معلمان بشر است؛ پنداری که برای فرار از زیر بار مسئولیت‌ها و توجیه اعمال خلاف و تبهکارها یا برای تفسیر ناأکَاهی ها درست شده. بر این اساس، کنهکاران دوزخی به صراحت اعتراف می کنند که اتمام حجت از ناحیةٌ خداوند شد؛ اما ما به دست خودمان وسایل بدبختیمان را فراهم کردیم و معترف‌ایم که قوم گمراهی بودیم.
