Letters Expressing The Message From The Glorious Qur’an [Similar To The Opening Letters Of Surat Al Baqarah].
A Book Revealed On To You Oh Muhammad (SAAS). Thus Let Your Heart Not Be Oppressed & Persecuted By the Believers (2).
[This is] a Book [The Glorious Qur’an] revealed to you, Oh Muhammad [SAAS] – so let there not be in your Chest any distress therefrom – that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers.
اتَّبِعُوا مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ ۗ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ (3).
Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember (3).
Follow Oh Muslims What Has Been Revealed To You From Your Lord Allah (SWT) And Do Not Follow Other Than His Revelation (SWT) – The Glorious Qur’an, Revealed To The Prophet Of Islam, Muhammad (SAAS) – Over A Period Of 23 Years.
وكَم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا فَجَاءَهَا بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتًا أَوْ هُمْ قَائِلُونَ(4).
And how many cities have We (SWT) destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon (4).
And How Many Of Towns & Villages Have We Destroyed, and Our Punishment Came Down Upon Them At Night Or While They Were Sleeping [A Siesta] At Noon.
فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوَاهُمْ إِذْ جَاءَهُم بَأْسُنَا إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ(5).
And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was
only that they said, “Indeed, we were wrongdoers!”(5).
And Their Declaration And Proclamation When The Wrath Of Allah [SWT] Descended Upon Them That They Said: “We Proclaim And Declare That We Were Unjust & Oppressive.
فَلَنَسْأَلَنَّ الَّذِينَ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَنَسْأَلَنَّ الْمُرْسَلِينَ (6).
Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers (6).
Revealed And Through Whom We (SWT) Revealed It ?
فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيْهِم بِعِلْمٍ ۖ وَمَا كُنَّا غَائِبِينَ(7).
Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent (7).
And Verily We [SWT] Shall Recount Their Whole Story With Due Knowledge For We [SWT] Were Not Absent From Any Time Or Place.
وَالْوَزْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْحَقُّ ۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ(8).
And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy – it is they who will be the successful (8).
The Balance Of Accomplishments On The Day Of Judgement Shall Be Truth On The Heavy Scale. Those Muslims Whose Scale Are Of That Weight Shall Be Successful.
وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَظْلِمُونَ(9).
And those whose scales are light – they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses (9).
And Whosoever Finds His Scales “Light” On Judgment Day, Then They Are The Ones Who Lost Themselves To What They Were Unjustifiably Treating The Ayat Of Allah [SWT].
وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ ۗ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ(10).
And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful (10).
And We (SWT) Have Surly Empowered You ‘Creation’ Upon The Earth Granting You Subsistence & Livelihood So That You May Be Thankful.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ لَمْ يَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ(11).
And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam”; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated (11).
We [SWT] Have Definitely Created You Humans From “Dust & Clay,” Giving You [A Soul, Human Shape & Form]. Then Allah [SWT] Commanded The Angels “To Prostrate To Prophet Adam [AS] (The Father Of Prophets). Following That Action, All Creation Did The Same Except “Al Shaytan Al Rajeem – [Iblees ] ” Who Refused To Answer The Command Of Allah [SWT].
قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ(12).
Allah (SWT) Said To Iblees, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” Iblees Replied, “I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay.”(12).
Allah (SWT) Said To Iblees What Caused You Not To Prostrate Before Me When I Commanded You , Thus Refusing My Command? Iblees Replied: I’m Better Than Him You Created Me From Fire And Created Him From Clay.
قَالَ فَاهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَاخْرُجْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الصَّاغِرِينَ(13).
[ Allah ] said, “Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased (13).
Allah [SWT] Said To Iblees Descend From Paradise. You Shall Not Be Presumptuous & Arrogant. Exit From It You Are Amongst The Meanest Of Creatures.
قَالَ أَنظِرْنِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ(14).
[Satan] said, “Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.”(14).
Iblees Said To Allah [SWT] “Oh Allah [SWT] Give Me Respite Until Resurrection Day.
قَالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنظَرِينَ(15).
[ Allah ] Said, “Indeed, you are of those reprieved.”(15).
Allah (SWT) Replied Iblees You Shall Be Amongst Those Who Have Respite On Resurrection Day.
قَالَ فَبِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ(16).
[Satan] said, “Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path (16).
Iblees Said To Allah [SWT] “Since You Have Seduced Me, I Shall Sit In Waiting For Your Creation On Judgment Day On Your Straight Path.
ثُمَّ لَآتِيَنَّهُم مِّن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَعَن شَمَائِلِهِمْ ۖ وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَاكِرِينَ(17).
Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You] (17).”
And Thence We (SWT) Shall Approach Them From Between Their Hands & From Their Behind & From Their Right & From Their Left And Then You Shall Not Find Most Of Them Thankful.
قَالَ اخْرُجْ مِنْهَا مَذْءُومًا مَّدْحُورًا ۖ لَّمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ(18).
[ Allah ] said, “Get out of Paradise, reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them – I will surely fill Hell with you, all together”(18).
Allah [SWT] Expelled Iblees From Al Jannah & Disgraced Him Telling Him He Is Disparaged & Blameworthy For What He Has Committed Towards Humanity, Thus Whosoever Follows His Foot Steps, Then Allah (SWT) Shall Fill Hell Fire With Humankind.
فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ لِيُبْدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُورِيَ عَنْهُمَا مِن سَوْآتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَاكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِلَّا أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ أَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ الْخَالِدِينَ(19(
And Al Shaytan (Iblees) Whispered To Both Adam & Eve To Get Them To Expose Their Private Parts Saying It Is But Your Lord Allah (SWT) Who Forbade You From Approaching Him (SWT) Regarding This Tree Only To Be Angles Or Immortals. If You Approach This FORBIDDEN Tree You Shall Definitely Be Amongst The Unjust & Wrongdoers As Allah (SWT) WARNED (19).
But Al Shaytan Whispered To Both Of Them To Expose Their Private Parts Which Were Thus Far Concealed From Both. He said, “Your Lord Allah (SWT) Forbade You Access To This Tree, So That You Become Angels Or Become Immortal.”
وَيَا آدَمُ اسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ(20).
And O Adam, You & Your Wife Dwell, in Paradise (Al Jannah) And Eat From Wherever You Will, But Do Not Approach This Tree, Lest You Be Among The Unjust & Wrongdoers.”(20)
And Oh Adam (Father Of Prophets) Dwell You And Your Wife Eve In Al Jannah, Eating From Wherever You Want Or Wish But Do Not Come Near This Tree That Allah (SWT) Forbade, Otherwise You And Your Wife Shall Be Amongst The Transgressors.
وَقَاسَمَهُمَا إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ.(21)
And He Iblees Swore [by Allah (SWT)] To Them, “Indeed, I Am To you From Amongst the True And Sincere Mentors And Advisors.”
And He, Iblees Swore To Both Adam And Eve That He Was A Sincere Mentor And Adviser From Allah (SWT) While He In Reality Was Deceiving And Misleading Humankind.
فَدَلَّاهُمَا بِغُرُورٍ ۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْآتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ ۖ وَنَادَاهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمَا عَن تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَا إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ(22).
So He (Iblees) Made Them Fall, Through Deception. And When They Tasted Of The Tree, Their Private Parts Became Apparent To Them, And They Began To Fasten Together Over Themselves From The Leaves Of Paradise. And Their Lord Called To Them, “Did I Not Forbid You From That Tree and Tell You That Satan Is To You A Clear Enemy?”
Thus He (Iblees) Made Both Adam & Eve Fall Through Deception & Deceit And When They Tasted The Forbidden Tree, Their Private Parts Became Exposed To Them, and They Started To Patch Their Exposed Parts Together Over Themselves From The Leaves of Paradise. And At This Instant Allah (SWT) Called Upon Them, “Did I Not Forbid You Adam & Eve From Approaching The Forbidden Tree And Tell You That Satan Is Your True Enemy?”
قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ(23).
They Said, “Our Lord, We Have Wronged Ourselves, And If You Do Not Forgive Us And Have Mercy Upon Us, We Will Surely Be Among The Losers.”
Both Adam And Eve Said: ’Oh Allah (SWT) We Have Unjustly Treated And Wronged Ourselves And Thus If You Our Lord (SWT) Do Not Forgive Us & Bestow Mercy Upon Us, Then We Shall Be Amongst The Underdogs & Losers.
قَالَ اهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ(24).
[ Allah ] said, “Descend, being to one another enemies. And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment for a time.”
Allah (SWT) Commanded Both Adam & Eve To Descend From Al Jannah To Earth Only To Become Enemies To Each Other And Settle Therein And Enjoy Your Existence Until A Certain Prescribed Time.
قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ(25).
He said, “Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth.”
Allah (SWT) Commanded Both Adam & Eve To Live & Exist In Al Jannah. Allah (SWT) Then Said You Shall Both Die And Be Resurrected.
يَا بَنِي آدَمَ قَدْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًا يُوَارِي سَوْآتِكُمْ وَرِيشًا ۖ وَلِبَاسُ التَّقْوَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ(26).
O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness – that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember.
Oh Children Of Adam & Eve We Allah (SWT) Have Bestowed And Granted You Clothing To Cover Your Internal & Private Body Parts And As Adornment and Decoration. However, The Clothing Of Righteousness Is Veracious And Unfailing. That Happens To Be Amongst Ayat Allah (SWT) So That They May Remember.
يَا بَنِي آدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ كَمَا أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْآتِهِمَا ۗ إِنَّهُ يَرَاكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ(27).
O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.
Oh Offspring Of Adam & Eve, Be Aware Of Al Shaytan [Iblees] As He “Lured Your Parents Away From Al Jannah”, Acting To Strip Them From Their Clothes & Exposing Their Private Parts To Each Other. Undoubtedly Al Shaytan Along With His Tribesmen Watch Humankind From From Where He Is Unseen. Allah [SWT] Said: “We Have Made Al Shayateen [Plural Of Al Shaytan] Allies And Partners To Non-Believers.
وَإِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَا آبَاءَنَا وَاللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ ۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ.(28)
And when they commit an immorality, they say, “We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has ordered us to do it.” Say, “Indeed, Allah does not order immorality. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?”
And If And When Immoral, Shameful & Obscene Acts Are Performed As Was The Case With Their Pagan Fathers & Forefathers, Entering Al Masjid Al Haram, & Circulating Around The Ka’ba ‘Naked’. Say Oh Muhammad (SAAS), Allah (SWT) Does Not Order Immoral And Shameful Acts. Tell Them Oh Muhammad (SAAS) Do You Say About Allah (SWT) What You Do Not Know?
قُلْ أَمَرَ رَبِّي بِالْقِسْطِ ۖ وَأَقِيمُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ ۚ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ.(29)
Say, [O Muhammad], “My Lord has ordered justice and that you maintain yourselves [in worship of Him] at every place [or time] of prostration, and invoke Him, sincere to Him in religion.” Just as He originated you, you will return [to life].
Oh Muhammad (SAAS) Say: Allah (SWT) Has Commanded Justice And That Each Of Us Practising Muslims Maintains His / Her Worship Sincere Act In All And Every Masjid, Invoking Allah (SWT) Sincerely, Such As He Created You In The Start Of Creation, So Shall You Return To Him (SWT).
فَرِيقًا هَدَىٰ وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الضَّلَالَةُ ۗ إِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ.(30)
A group [of you] He guided, and a group deserved [to be in] error. Indeed, they had taken the devils as allies instead of Allah while they thought that they were guided.
Some Muslims, Allah (SWT) Has Guided To The Right Path Of Islam, While Others By Their Own Choice Have Chosen To Go Astray Taking Al Shayateen As Allies.
يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ (31)
O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess (31).
Oh Sons And Daughters Of Adam & Eve Take Your Decoration & Ornamentation To Every Masjid And Eat & Drink Without Committing Excesses For Allah (SWT) Does Not Appreciate Or Love Those Who Commit Excesses.
قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَالطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ ۚ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ(32).
Say, Oh Muhammad [SAAS] “Who has forbidden the adornment, the Ornamentation and Decoration of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?” Say, “They are for those who believe during the worldly life [but] exclusively for them on the Day of Resurrection.” Thus do We detail the verses for a people who know.
Say Oh Muhammad [SAAS] Who Has Forbidden The Adornment, The Ornamentation & Decoration Of Allah (SWT) Which He (SWT) Has Made Available For His Servants, Say Oh Muhammad [SAAS] These Are Manifestations For Those Who Have Believed In Their Worldly Lifetime Abiding By Islam & Its Teachings And Hence We Give Detail Our Ayat To A People Of Knowledge.
قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَالْإِثْمَ وَالْبَغْيَ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَأَن تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ سُلْطَانًا وَأَن تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ(33).
Say, “My Lord has only forbidden immoralities – what is apparent of them and what is concealed – and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allah that which you do not know”(33).
Say Oh Muhammad [SAAS] – The Final Prophet Of Islam – Say Allah (SWT) Has Prohibited & Forbidden Abominations Those Exposed, And Those Hidden And Sinning And Oppression Without Any Right Or Reason And That You Associate With Allah [SWT] Partners And Speak Of Him [SWT] That Of Which You Do Not Comprehend.
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ(34).
And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].
For Every Nation Allah [SWT] Has Prescribed A Term And Duration On Earth. And So When This Duration Is Up They Shall Not Delay A Single Hour Or Advance.
يَا بَنِي آدَمَ إِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي ۙ فَمَنِ اتَّقَىٰ وَأَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُون(35)
O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you My verses, then whoever fears Allah and reforms – there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grief (35).
Oh Offspring Of Adam & Eve Whenever You Receive Messengers From Amongst Yourselves Explaining To You My (SWT)’s Ayat And So Whoever Is Righteous, Has Piety & Reforms, Then They Fear Nothing And Grieve Nothing Of What They Have Done.
وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ(36).
But the ones who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them – those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally (36).
However, Those Who Reject & Deny Our Ayat (From The Glorious Qur’an) Treating Them With Arrogance Then They Shall Be The Companions Of Hellfire In Which They Shall Endure And Remain Eternally.
فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِآيَاتِهِ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ يَنَالُهُمْ نَصِيبُهُم مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْ قَالُوا أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قَالُوا ضَلُّوا عَنَّا وَشَهِدُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَافِرِينَ.(37)
And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree until when Our messengers come to them to take them in death, they will say, “Where are those you used to invoke besides Allah?” They will say, “They have departed from us,” and will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers (37).
And Who Is More Unfair & Unjust Than Those Who Falsify & Slander Against Allah (SWT) And His Glorious Qur’an Framing Lies Against Him. These People Shall Receive Their Portion & Share From What Allah [SWT] Has Decreed Until When The Messengers Of Death Arrive To Take The Souls Of These Disbelievers And Blasphemous To Account. They Witnessed Against Themselves That They Had Rejected The Majesty & Supremacy Of Allah [SWT] & His Glorious Qur’an. The Messengers Of Death Would Question The Disbelievers & Blasphemous:” Who Are The Culprits Whom You Used To Invoke?? They Would Reply, They Left Us In A State Of Abhorrence, Revulsion & Repulsion”.
قَالَ ادْخُلُوا فِي أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ فِي النَّارِ ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا ادَّارَكُوا فِيهَا جَمِيعًا قَالَتْ أُخْرَاهُمْ لِأُولَاهُمْ رَبَّنَا هَٰؤُلَاءِ أَضَلُّونَا فَآتِهِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ النَّارِ ۖ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَعْلَمُونَ.(38)
[Allah] will say, “Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire.” Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister until, when they have all overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them “Our Lord, these had misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire. He will say, “For each is double, but you do not know.”
Allah (SWT) On Judgment Day Shall Say: “Enter With Other Generations Which Had Passed On Before You From Al Jinn & Al Inns into The Hell Fire. Each Time A Generation Enters Into The Hell Fire It Will Curse The Generation Which Had Already Entered Before It, Until When All Generations Have ‘Clambered’ To Get Their Share Of Reckoning & Judgment, The Last Generation Describing The First Generation Shall Say Oh Allah (SWT) We Have Been Misled By Delusion & So Give Them Double Chastisement & Retributive Justice. Allah (SWT) Will Reply, For Each Generation There Shall Be Double Chastisement But You Shall Not Be Aware.
وَقَالَتْ أُولَاهُمْ لِأُخْرَاهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ فَذُوقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُون.(39)
And the first of them will say to the last of them, “Then you had not any favor over us, so taste the punishment for what you used to earn.”(39).
And Its Former (Generation) Shall Say To Its Latter One, There Is No Prejudice Or Approbation, Then Taste The Torment You Deserve.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُجْرِمِينَ.(40)
Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them – the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle. And thus do We recompense the criminals (40).
Those Who Have Lied And Arrogantly Denied The Ayat Of Allah (SWT) Shall Not Have The Gates Of Heaven Open To Them And To Their Souls And Their Actions Shall Not Be ‘Raised’ And Elevated To Allah (SWT) Until A Camel Enters Into The ‘Hole Of A Needle And Thus This Is How We Reward The Criminals & Unjust. (This Is The Euphemism) For Expressing The Previous (Ayah 40).
لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَمِن فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي
الظَّالِمِينَ .(41)
They will have from Hell a bed and over them coverings [of fire]. And thus do We recompense the wrongdoers (40).
They Shall Have In Hell A Couch Of Fire Below Them And Multi-Layers Of Coverings Of Fire. And Thus This Is Allah (SWT)’s Requital For Those Who Are Unjust & Wrongdoers.
وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ.(42)
But those who believed and did righteous deeds – We charge no soul except [within] its capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.
As For Those Who Believed In Allah (SWT) And Performed Righteous Actions, Then We (SWT) Do Not Charge A Soul Except Within Its Capacity. Those Are The Companions Of Al Jannah, There They Shall Preside Forever.
وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمُ الْأَنْهَارُ ۖ وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلَا أَنْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ ۖ لَقَدْ جَاءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ ۖ وَنُودُوا أَن تِلْكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ.(43)
And We will have removed whatever is within their breasts of resentment, [while] flowing beneath them are rivers. And they will say, “Praise to Allah, who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if Allah had not guided us. Certainly the messengers of our Lord had come with the truth.” And they will be called, “This is Paradise, which you have been made to inherit for what you used to do.”(43).
And We (SWT) Shall Remove From Their Hearts Any Lurking Sense Of Resentment. Beneath Them Will Be Rivers Flowing And They Shall Say: “Praise Be To Allah (SWT) Who Has Guided Us To This Happiness & Felicity. And We Would Never Have Been Guided Had It Not Been The Guidance Of Allah (SWT). Indeed It Was The Truth That The Messengers Of Allah (SWT) Had Brought Us. And They Shall Hear The Cry, ‘Behold, This Is Al Jannah Which You Have Been Promised & Made Inheritors For Your Righteous Deeds In The Worldly Lifetime.
وَنَادَىٰ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ أَن قَدْ وَجَدْنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقًّا فَهَلْ وَجَدتُّم مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا ۖ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ۚ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ بَيْنَهُمْ أَن لَّعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ.(44)
And the companions of Paradise will call out to the companions of the Fire, “We have already found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?” They will say, “Yes.” Then an announcer will announce among them, “The curse of Allah shall be upon the wrongdoers”(44).
The Companions Of Al Jannah Shall Call Out To The Companions Of Hell Fire, “We Have Indeed Found The Promises Of Allah (SWT) To Be True? Have You Also Found The Promises Of Allah (SWT) To Be True? They Would Say “Yes”…And A Caller Will Proclaim Between Them: The Curse Of Allah (SWT) Shall Fall On The Heads Of The Unjust And Intransigent.
الَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَهُم بِالْآخِرَةِ
كَافِرُونَ.(45)
Who averted [people] from the way of Allah and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they were, concerning the Hereafter, disbelievers (45).
Those Who Have Averted From The Path Of Allah (SWT) And They Seek To Be Deviant Shall Be Amongst The Disbelievers And The Blasphemous On Judgment Day.
وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌ ۚ وَعَلَى الْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلًّا بِسِيمَاهُمْ ۚ وَنَادَوْا أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ أَن سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ لَمْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُونَ.(46)
And between them will be a partition, and on [its] elevations are men who recognize all by their mark. And they call out to the companions of Paradise, “Peace be upon you.” They have not [yet] entered it, but they long intensely (46).
And Between Them Shall Be A “Veil” & On The “Separating Heights” Shall Be Men Who Know Each Other With Their Countenance And They Call Out To The Companions Of Al Jannah “Salamun Alaykum. They Would Not Have Entered With Lust & Greed.
وَإِذَا صُرِفَتْ أَبْصَارُهُمْ تِلْقَاءَ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِين (47).
And when their eyes are turned toward the companions of the Fire, they say, “Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people.”(47).
And If Their Vision Was Diverted Towards The Companions Of The (Hell Fire), They Would Say: “Our Lord (SWT) Do Not Group Us With The Unjust” & Intransigent People”.
وَنَادَىٰ أَصْحَابُ الْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالًا يَعْرِفُونَهُم بِسِيمَاهُمْ قَالُوا مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ.(48)
And the companions of the Elevations will call to men [within Hell] whom they recognize by their mark, saying, “Of no avail to you was your gathering and [the fact] that you were arrogant.”(48).
And The Keepers Of The “Separating Heights” Shall Be Men Who Know Each Other With Their Countenance & Who Said:” Of What Profit To You Were Your Hoards & Your Arrogant Ways “?
أَهَٰؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ أَقْسَمْتُمْ لَا يَنَالُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ ۚ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَا أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ.(49)
[Allah will say], “Are these the ones whom you [inhabitants of Hell] swore that Allah would never offer them mercy? Enter Paradise, [O People of the Elevations]. No fear will there be concerning you, nor will you grieve.”(49).
Allah (SWT) Shall Say Are These Not The Men Whom You Swore That, I (SWT) Shall Never Bless Them With My Mercy? Enter Al Jannah (You Keepers Of The Separating Heights) With No Fear Upon You Or Sadness.
وَنَادَىٰ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ أَنْ أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ.(50)
And the companions of the Fire will call to the companions of Paradise, “Pour upon us some water or from whatever Allah has provided you.” They will say, “Indeed, Allah has forbidden them both to the disbelievers.”(50).
And The Companions Of The Hell Fire Shall Call To The Companions Of Al Jannah Pour Down Upon Us Water Or Anything Allah (SWT) Provides For Sustenance. They Shall Say: “Verily, Allah (SWT) Has Forbade Them On The Blasphemous.
الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَهُمْ لَهْوًا وَلَعِبًا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا ۚ فَالْيَوْمَ نَنسَاهُمْ كَمَا نَسُوا لِقَاءَ يَوْمِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَمَا كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ.(51)
Who took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the worldly life deluded.” So today We will forget them just as they forgot the meeting of this Day of theirs and for having rejected Our verses (51).
Those Who Took Their Religion To Be Mere Amusement & Play And Were Deceived By The Worldly Life. This Day We (SWT) Shall Forget Them As They Have Forgotten Their Meeting (With Allah SWT) And For What They Repudiate & Disbelieved.
وَلَقَدْ جِئْنَاهُم بِكِتَابٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ هُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ.(52)
And We had certainly brought them a Book which We detailed by knowledge – as guidance and mercy to a people who believe (52).
And Thus We (SWT) Have Brought Down A Holy Book (The Glorious Qur’an) In Which Allah (SWT) Detailed His Commands (SWT) With His Permissions And Prohibitions To His Final Prophet & Messenger Muhammad (SAAS) For All Humanity, Particularly For Muslim Followers Of The Messenger Of Islam, Seeking The Guidance & Mercy Of Allah (SWT).
هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا تَأْوِيلَهُ ۚ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي تَأْوِيلُهُ يَقُولُ الَّذِينَ نَسُوهُ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَاءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ فَهَل لَّنَا مِن شُفَعَاءَ فَيَشْفَعُوا لَنَا أَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَيْرَ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ ۚ قَدْ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ.(53)
Do they await except its result? The Day its result comes those who had ignored it before will say, “The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than we used to do?” They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent (53).
Do They (The Worshipers) Await For The Final Fulfillment Of The Event? (The Day Of Judgement)? Those Who Disregarded This Day Before Will Say:” The Messengers Of Allah (SWT) Did Indeed Bring Us True Tidings. Have We Now No Intercessors To Intercede On Our Behalf? Or Could We Be Sent Back? Then Should We Behave Differently From Our Past Behaviour” In Fact Those Types Of People Would Have Lost Their Souls And Whatever They Invented Shall Leave Them In The Lurch And Stagger Situation.
إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ ۗ أَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ ۗ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ.(54)
Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds (54).
Verily, Allah (SWT) Is Your Lord And Creator. He (SWT) Created The Heavens & Earth, (Followed By The Creation Of Humankind, Animals & Beasts As Well As All Plantation.) Within Six Days He (SWT) Then “Assumed” His Place On His Throne (SWT). He (SWT) Draws Night Over Day. Each Seeking The Other In Rapid Succession. He Created The Sun, Moon & Stars, All Governed By Laws Under His Command (SWT). Is It Not His Privilege (SWT) To Create & Govern?
Blessed Be Allah (SWT) The Cherisher & Sustainer Of The Worlds.
ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ.(55)
Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors (55).
Beseech Your Lord Allah (SWT) & Supplicate To Him (SWT) With Piety, Humility, Obedience & Devoutness. For He (SWT) Does Not Love Those Who Trespass Upon Others.
وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ(.(56
And cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good (56).
And Do Not Corrupt Or Spoil The Earth After Reforming It And Beseech Him (SWT) From Fear & Greed, Verily The Mercy Of Allah (SWT) Is Close To The Philanthropists Of Humankind.
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا ثِقَالًا سُقْنَاهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَأَنزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَاءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَىٰ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ(57).
And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded (57).
And It Is He (SWT) Who Sends The Winds Like Heralds And Harbingers Of Glad Tidings, Before His Mercy (SWT) Until Upon Carrying Heavy Rainclouds We (SWT) Drive The Heavy Laden Clouds To A “Dead Land” And We (SWT) Created Rain To Descend Thereon And Produce Though This Water All Fruits And So We (SWT) Shall Raise Up The Dead So That You Humankind May Remember.
وَالْبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهُ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِ ۖ وَالَّذِي خَبُثَ لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِدًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَشْكُرُونَ.(58)
And the good land – its vegetation emerges by permission of its Lord; but that which is bad – nothing emerges except sparsely, with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people who are grateful (58).
And From The Land That Is Good & Fertile, Its Vegetation Grows By The Will Of Its Lord (SWT) Springs Up Produce Rich After Its Kind, But From The Land That Is Bad Nothing Springs Up But That Which Is Miserly. We (SWT) Thus Explain The Ayat For A People & Folk Who Are Thankful & Grateful.
لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيم(59).
We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, “O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day (59).
And So We (SWT) Have Sent Prophet Nooh (AS) To His People, Saying: “Oh My People & Followers” Worship Allah (SWT), You Have No Other Deity Except Him (SWT), Since I Fear For You The Torment Of A Great Day.
قَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِهِ إِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِين)60).
Said the eminent among his people, “Indeed, we see you in clear error.(60)
The Public From The Followers Of Prophet Nooh (AS) Said: “We See You In Definite Delusion”.
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِي ضَلَالَةٌ وَلَٰكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ(61).
[Noah] said, “O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.”
Prophet Nooh (AS) Said To His Followers, Have I No Delusion Or Aberrance, However, I’m a Messenger From The Lord And Cherisher Of The Worlds (SWT).
أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَأَنصَحُ لَكُمْ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ.(62)
I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from Allah what you do not know (62).
Prophet Nooh (AS):“I Convey To You The Messages Of Allah (SWT) Advising You And Know From Allah (SWT) What Is Unknown To You.
أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَاءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ وَلِتَتَّقُوا وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ.(63)
Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allah so you might receive mercy.”(63).
Prophet Nooh (AS): Talking To His Followers Said: ”Are You Surprised That A Message Has Come Down To You From Allah (SWT) Through A Man From Your Own People To Warn You To Be Pious So That You Will Receive The Mercy Of Allah (SWT) ?
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَأَغْرَقْنَا الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا عَمِينَ)64).
But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people) 64).
But They Rejected Their Prophet Nooh (AS) And So We Saved Him (AS) And His Followers In The Ark (A Huge Sea Carrier Ship) And We (SWT) Drowned In The Flood Those Who Rejected Our Ayat. They Were Indeed A Blind People.
وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًا ۗ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ.(65)
And to the ‘Aad [We sent] their brother Hud. He said, “O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?”
And To The People Of Aad We (SWT) Sent Their Brother, Prophet Hood (AS) & Followers. He Said:” Oh My People Worship Allah (SWT), You Have No Other Deity But Him (SWT), And Thus You Should “Fear” Him (SWT).
قَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ إِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِي سَفَاهَةٍ وَإِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ.(66)
Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, “Indeed, we see you in foolishness, and indeed, we think you are of the liars.”(66).
The Blasphemous Chiefs From The People Of Prophet Hood (AS) Replied: “That We Believe You Are An Imbecile, An Idiot And Insane And Thus We Think You Are Amongst The Liars.
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِي سَفَاهَةٌ وَلَٰكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.(67)
[Hud] said, “O my people, there is not foolishness in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.”(67).
Prophet Hood (AS) Replied: “That He Was Not An Imbecile, Or A Fool, Or An Idiot, Or Insane, But A Disciple From Allah (SWT), The Lord Of The Worlds.
أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَأَنَا لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ أَمِين(68).
I convey to you the messages of my Lord, and I am to you a trustworthy advisor (68).
I, Prophet Hood (AS) Relate To You, My Followers, The Messages Of My Lord Allah (SWT) And I Am To You A Reliable, Honorable And Dependable Instructor.
أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَاءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ مِن بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَزَادَكُمْ فِي الْخَلْقِ بَسْطَةً ۖ فَاذْكُرُوا آلَاءَ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ.(69)
Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you? And remember when He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you in stature extensively. So remember the favors of Allah that you might succeed (69).
Therefore, Are You My, People Surprised, That You Received A Mention From Your Lord Allah (SWT) To A Man From Amongst You To Warn You And Mention That He (SWT) Has Made You Inheritors After The People Of Prophet Nooh (AS) And He (SWT) Increased Their Stature & Status And Therefore Mention The Wonders And Magnificence Of Allah (SWT) So That You May Be Successful.
قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَحْدَهُ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا ۖ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ(70).
They said, “Have you come to us that we should worship Allah alone and leave what our fathers have worshipped? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful”(70).
The Followers Of Prophet Nooh (AS) Said To Him:” Have You Prophet Nooh Been Sent Down From Allah (SWT) To Worship Him Alone And Give Up The
Cults & Religious Obsessions Of Our Fathers & Forefathers. Bring Us With What You Promise If You Are Sincere.
قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌ وَغَضَبٌ ۖ أَتُجَادِلُونَنِي فِي أَسْمَاءٍ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ ۚ فَانتَظِرُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ الْمُنتَظِرِينَ.(71)
[Hud] said, “Already have defilement and anger fallen upon you from your Lord. Do you dispute with me concerning [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has not sent down any authority? Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait.”
Prophet Hood (AS) Replied:” Atrocities and Abominations Have Already Descended From Allah (SWT) Upon You, Do You Dispute With Me Over Names Which You Have Named You And Your Fathers Without The Approval And Authority Of Allah (SWT). Then Await For The “Response” Of Allah (SWT) And The Wrath He (SWT) Shall Bring Down.
فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۖ وَمَا كَانُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ.(72)
So We saved him and those with him by mercy from Us. And We eliminated those who denied Our signs, and they were not [at all] believers (72).
And Thus We (SWT) Have Saved Prophet Hood (AS) And His Followers With Our Mercy And We (SWT) Truncated The Roots Of Those Who Denied Our Ayat And Were Disbelievers.
وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحًا ۗ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۖ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ هَٰذِهِ نَاقَةُ اللَّهِ لَكُمْ آيَةً ۖ فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِي أَرْضِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ (73).
And to the Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, “O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of Allah [sent] to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allah ‘s land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punishment.
And To The People Of Thamood, We (SWT) Sent Their Brother Prophet Salih (AS): Saying “My People & Followers Worship Allah (SWT), You Have No Other Deity But Him (SWT). Now Has Come To You An Ayah From Allah (SWT): “A Female Camel”, Leave It To Graze In The Lands Of Allah (SWT) And Let No Harm Come To This Female Camel, Otherwise You Shall Be Seized With Grievous Harm & Punishment From Allah (SWT).
وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ مِن بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُورًا وَتَنْحِتُونَ الْجِبَالَ بُيُوتًا ۖ فَاذْكُرُوا آلَاءَ اللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ.(74)
And remember when He made you successors after the ‘Aad and settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then remember the favors of Allah and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.”(74).
And Remember How Allah (SWT) Made You Inheritors After The People Of Aad And Granted The Inheritors Habitations On The Land So That You Build For Yourselves Palaces & Castles In Open Lands & Plains And Carve Out Homes In The Mountains, And So Bring To Remembrance The Benefits You Have Obtained From Allah (SWT) And Refrain From Corruption And Mischief.
قَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا لِمَنْ آمَنَ مِنْهُمْ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ صَالِحًا مُّرْسَلٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ ۚ قَالُوا إِنَّا بِمَا أُرْسِلَ بِهِ مُؤْمِنُونَ(75).
Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people to those who were oppressed – to those who believed among them, “Do you [actually] know that Salih is sent from his Lord?” They said, “Indeed we, in that with which he was sent, are believers.”(75).
The Leaders Of The Presumptuous & Egotistic Party Amongst The Followers Of Prophet Salih (AS) Compared To The Powerless Group Said:” Are You Aware That Prophet Salih (AS) Is A Messenger Revealed From Allah (SWT)?
قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا بِالَّذِي آمَنتُم بِهِ كَافِرُونَ(76).
Said those who were arrogant, “Indeed we, in that which you have believed, are disbelievers.”(76).
The Presumptuous & Egotistic Party Amongst The Followers Of Prophet Salih (AS) Compared To The Powerless Group Said:” As For Us, We Reject The Message Of Prophet Salih (AS).
فَعَقَرُوا النَّاقَةَ وَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ وَقَالُوا يَا صَالِحُ ائْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ(77).
So they hamstrung the she-camel and were insolent toward the command of their Lord and said, “O Salih, bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the messengers.”(77).
And Thus They Ham-Strung The Female Camel Showing Insolence & Arrogance Towards The Command Of Allah (SWT) & Disobeying Prophet Salih’s (AS) Call, Saying:” Bring Us What You Promise Us If You Are Amongst The Messengers Of Allah (SWT).”
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا فِي دَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ.(78)
So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
And Thus Ground Shaking (An Earthquake Took Them By Surprise) And They Lay Subsequently Perched, Squatting & Prostrate In Their Homes In The Morning.
فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُحِبُّونَ النَّاصِحِينَ.(79)
And he turned away from them and said, “O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised you, but you do not like advisors.”(79).
And Thus Prophet Salih (AS) Turned His Back To His People Saying:” Oh My People & Followers, I Had Certainly Related To You The Message For Which I Was Sent By Allah (SWT) To You And Gave You Good Counsel, However You Do Not “Love” Or Appreciate “Descent Counselors”!!
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعَالَمِينَ.(80)
And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, “Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds?
And Prophet Loot (AS) Said To His Followers:” Do You Commit Abominations & Lewdness Such As No Other People In Creation Committed Before You?
إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ النِّسَاءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ(81).
Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.” .(81)
For You Practice Your Lusts On Males In Preference To Females. You Are Indeed A People Behaving According To What Is Morally Wrong & Humanely In Correct.
وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِ إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا أَخْرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُون82)).
But the answer of his people was only that they said, “Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure.”(82).
The Response Of The Followers Of Prophet Loot (AS), Was: ”That You Need To Drive These Types Of People Away From Your Villages & Cities Since They Are People Who Consider Themselves Pure & Clean.
فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغَابِرِين83)).
So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who remained [with the evildoers] (83).
And Therefore Allah (SWT) Saved Prophet Loot (AS) & His Family Except His Wife Who Was Lagging Behind In Her Belief.
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا ۖ فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ84)).
And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals(84).
And We (SWT) Rained Down Upon Them A Shower Of Brimstone. Thus See The End Of Those Who Indulged In Sin And Crime.
وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا ۗ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۖ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَأَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَالْمِيزَانَ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَاحِهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ85)).
And to [the people of] Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu’ayb. He said, “O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. So fulfill the measure and weight and do not deprive people of their due and cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. That is better for you, if you should be believers (85).
And To Madyan (The Followers Of Prophet Shua’yb (AS)) Allah (SWT) Sent To Them Prophet Shua’yb (AS). He Said:”Oh My Followers, Worship Allah (SWT) Since You Have No Other Deity Except Him (SWT). And Therefore A Clear Ayah Has Come Down From Allah (SWT) As Evidence, Proof & Testimony That Shua’ybs (AS) Followers Should Fulfill The Command Of Allah (SWT) By Giving A Just Measure & Weight Amongst Yourselves & Your Brethren. Nor Withhold From The People The Things That Are Their Due And Do Not Cause Corruption. & Mischief On Land After Reform & Rehabilitation. This Shall Be Better For All The Followers Of Prophet Shua’yb (AS).
وَلَا تَقْعُدُوا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ كُنتُمْ قَلِيلًا فَكَثَّرَكُمْ ۖ وَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ86)).
And do not sit on every path, threatening and averting from the way of Allah those who believe in Him, seeking to make it [seem] deviant. And remember when you were few and He increased you. And see how was the end of the corrupt people (86).
And Do Not Sit In Every Alley Uttering Threats & Hindering From The Path Of Allah (SWT) Whoever Has Believed In Him (SWT) Seeking In It A Crooked Situation, And Remember How You (The Followers Of Prophet Shua’yb (AS) Were A Few And He (SWT) Increased You In Numbers) And So Look At How The End Of The Dishonest & Unscrupulous Ended Up.
وَإِن كَانَ طَائِفَةٌ مِّنكُمْ آمَنُوا بِالَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ وَطَائِفَةٌ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّىٰ يَحْكُمَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَنَا ۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ87)).
And if there should be a group among you who has believed in that with which I have been sent and a group that has not believed, then be patient until Allah judges between us. And He is the best of judges”(87).
And If There Is A Group Amongst You (The Followers Of Prophet Shua’yb (AS)) Who Submitted To Allah (SWT) Through The Message That Was Sent Down To Prophet Shua’yb (AS) And A Group That Did Not Submit To Allah (SWT) Then Be Patient Until Allah (SWT) Makes His Decision And He (SWT) Shall Be The Best Decision Maker.
قَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَا شُعَيْبُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَكَ مِن قَرْيَتِنَا أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِي مِلَّتِنَا ۚ قَالَ أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَارِهِينَ88)).
Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people, “We will surely evict you, O Shu’ayb, and those who have believed with you from our city, or you must return to our religion.” He said, “Even if we were unwilling?”(88)
The Leaders Of The Presumptuous & Egotistic Party Amongst The Followers Of Prophet Shua’yb (AS) (Compared To The Powerless Group) Said:” Are You Aware That Prophet Shuayb (AS) Is A Messenger Revealed From Allah (SWT)? Then Be Patient Until Allah (SWT) Makes His Decision, Since He (SWT) Is The Best Decision Maker.
قَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَا شُعَيْبُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَكَ مِن قَرْيَتِنَا أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِي مِلَّتِنَا ۚ قَالَ أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَارِهِينَ
.(89)
Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people, “We will surely evict you, O Shu’ayb, and those who have believed with you from our city, or you must return to our religion.” He said, “Even if we were unwilling?”(88).
The Leaders Of The Presumptuous & Egotistic Party Amongst The Followers Of Prophet Shua’yb (AS) (Compared To The Powerless Group Said:”) We Shall Drive You Out Of Our Village And Those Who Have Believed With You Or You Shall Return To Our Religion And Persuasion, Despite Their “Reluctance And Unwillingness “Prophet Shuayb (AS)” Questioned ???
قَدِ افْتَرَيْنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِنْ عُدْنَا فِي مِلَّتِكُم بَعْدَ إِذْ نَجَّانَا اللَّهُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَا أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَا إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا ۚ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا ۚ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْفَاتِحِينَ.(89)
We would have invented against Allah a lie if we returned to your religion after Allah had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allah, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allah we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision.”(89).
وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ لَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْبًا إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَاسِرُونَ(90)
Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, “If you should follow Shu’ayb, indeed, you would then be losers.”(90).
And The Unbelieving & Blasphemous Followers Of Prophet Shuay’b (AS), Said:” If You Follow The Footsteps Of The Prophet, Then You Are (Real) Losers & You Shall Be Ruined Through The Earthquake That Shall Strike Them “Unaware & Surprised Laying Prostrate” In Their Homes Before Dawn.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا فِي دَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ.(91)
So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone (91).
However, The Earthquake Shaking Took Them By Utter Surprise Laying Prostate In Their Homes “Corpses”…Dead & Motionless.
الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا شُعَيْبًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا ۚ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا شُعَيْبًا كَانُوا هُمُ الْخَاسِرِينَ.(92)
Those who denied Shu’ayb – it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shu’ayb – it was they who were the losers (92).
Those Who Contradicted, Repudiated & Contested The Message Of Prophet Shuay’b (AS) And His Followers Did Not Reside In The Same Land. And Those Who Denied And Contradicted The Message Of Prophet Shuay’b Were Thus The Losers.
فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ آسَىٰ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ كَافِرِينَ.(93)
And he turned away from them and said, “O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?”(93).
Thus Prophet Shuay’b (AS) Turned His Back To His Followers, Saying: ”Oh My Followers, I Have Definitely Related To You The Messages Of Allah (SWT), And So How Shall I Lament Over A People Who Refuse To Believe.
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّا أَخَذْنَا أَهْلَهَا بِالْبَأْسَاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرَّعُونَ.(94)
And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allah](94).
And We (SWT) Did Not Send a Prophet To A Village Only To Take Its People In Suffering & Adversity So That They Might Learn Humility.
ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ السَّيِّئَةِ الْحَسَنَةَ حَتَّىٰ عَفَوا وَّقَالُوا قَدْ مَسَّ آبَاءَنَا الضَّرَّاءُ وَالسَّرَّاءُ فَأَخَذْنَاهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ(95)
Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, “Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease.” So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive (95).
Therefore We (SWT) Replaced The Good Deeds In Place of The Bad Ones Until They Grew In Number & Said: ”Our Fathers Were Also Touched By Suffering & Affliction And Thus Observe How We (SWT) Took Them By Surprise Without Them Knowing.
وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرَىٰ آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَرَكَاتٍ مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبُوا فَأَخَذْنَاهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ.(96)
And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning.”(96).
And Had The People Of The Villages To Whom Allah (SWT) Sent The Messengers (Over Time), Had They Accepted Islam, Feared Allah (SWT) And Became Pious, We (SWT) Should Indeed Have Brought Them Blessings From The Heavens & Earth, However They Denied These ‘Blessings’ & The Truth That Descended With The Messengers Sent Down Over Time & Thus We (SWT) Took Them For What They Acquired And Earned.
أَفَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ الْقُرَىٰ أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتًا وَهُمْ نَائِمُونَ.(97)
Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep (97)?
And Did The People Of The Villages To Whom Allah (SWT) Sent The Messengers (Over Time, Who Feared Allah (SWT) And Became Pious) Did They Secure The Wrath Of Allah (SWT) By Night While They Were Asleep.
أَوَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ الْقُرَىٰ أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا ضُحًى وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ.(98)
Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?(98).
Or Else Did They (The People Of The Villages) Feel Secure From The Wrath Of Allah (SWT) When They Were Playing In Broad Daylight Or During Pre-Dawn?
أَفَأَمِنُوا مَكْرَ اللَّهِ ۚ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ.(99)
Then did they feel secure from the plan of Allah? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people (99).
And So Did The People Of The Villages Feel Secure From The Deception Or Cunning Of Allah (SWT) Except The Losers Amongst The Creation Of Allah (SWT).
أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْأَرْضَ مِن بَعْدِ أَهْلِهَا أَن لَّوْ نَشَاءُ أَصَبْنَاهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ ۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ.(100)
Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear (100).
To Those People Of The Villages Who Inherit The Earth In Succession To Its Previous Possessors, Is It Not A Guiding Lesson That We (SWT) If We So Wished We Shall Punish Them Too For Their Sins And Seal Up Their Hearts So That They Could Not Hear !!
تِلْكَ الْقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنبَائِهَا ۚ وَلَقَدْ جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا كَانُوا لِيُؤْمِنُوا بِمَا كَذَّبُوا مِن قَبْلُ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ الْكَافِرِينَ.(101)
Those cities – We relate to you, [O Muhammad], some of their news. And certainly did their messengers come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they had denied before. Thus does Allah seal over the hearts of the disbelievers (101).
Such Were The Villages And Settlements Which We (SWT) Inform You About, Oh Prophet Of Islam, Muhammad (SAAS) Concerning Their News. And So Their Messengers Came To Them With Clear, Undisputed, Uncontested & Unchallenged Messages. However, They Did Not Believe And Accept What They Had Denied Before. And Thus Allah (SWT) Stamped The Hearts “As Blasphemous People”.
وَمَا وَجَدْنَا لِأَكْثَرِهِم مِّنْ عَهْدٍ ۖ وَإِن وَجَدْنَا أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفَاسِقِينَ.(102)
And We did not find for most of them any covenant; but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient (102).
And We (SWT) Did Not Find For Most Of Them Commitment Or Promise Since We (SWT) Found Most Of Them In A Debaucher, Shameful & Sinful Situation Because We (SWT) Found Them Rebellious & Disobedient.
ثمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَظَلَمُوا بِهَا ۖ فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ.(103)
Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how was the end of the corrupters (103).
Then We (SWT) Subsequently Sent Prophet Mousa (AS) With Our Ayat To
Egypt’s Pharaoh And His Following Crowd, But They Erroneously Rejected These Signs And Therefore Observe The Consequence Of The Corrupt People.
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ يَا فِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.(104)
And Moses said, “O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds (104).
And Prophet Mousa (AS) Said To Egypt’s Pharaoh:” I Am A Messenger From The Lord Of The Worlds Allah (SWT).”
قَالَ إِن كُنتَ جِئْتَ بِآيَةٍ فَأْتِ بِهَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ.(105)
[Pharaoh] said, “If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful.”(105).
Pharaoh Of Egypt Said To Prophet Mousa (AS):” If You Have Come With “An Ayah”, Then Bring This Ayah Forth, If You Are An Honest, Trustworthy & Sincere Messenger.
حَقِيقٌ عَلَىٰ أَن لَّا أَقُولَ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ ۚ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِبَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعِيَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.(106)
[Who is] obligated not to say about Allah except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel.”(106).
Prophet Mousa (AS) Said:” I Have Nothing But The Truth To “Relate” About Allah (SWT). And Thus I, As A Messenger Sent By Allah (SWT), I Have Come To You With Clear Evidence & Testimony From Allah (SWT). Thus Send With Me The Children Of Israel.
فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ.(107)
So Moses threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest (107).
The Clear Evidence & Testimony From Allah (SWT) Challenging The Blasphemy Of Egypt’s Pharaoh Came From His Messenger & Prophet Mousa (AS) To The Children Of Israel. And So Mousa (AS) Threw Up His Staff Only To Turn Into A Pronounced Serpent (A Wild Snake). This Was Prophet Mousa’s First Miracle From Allah (SWT) To Egypt’s Pharaoh.
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاءُ لِلنَّاظِرِينَ.(108)
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers (108).
And He Prophet Mousa (AS) “Exposed” His Hand To The Beholders Of His People Only To Reflect “Radiance” For The Beholders To Observe. This Was Another Miracle From Allah (SWT) To Show & Demonstrate To Egypt’s Pharaoh That The Message Of Prophet Mousa (AS) Was Yet Another Miracle From Allah (SWT).
قَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ.(109)
Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, “Indeed, this is a learned magician (109).
Egypt’s Pharaoh And His Following Crowd Said Describing Prophet Mousa (AS) As “A Cultured, Educated Intellectual Who Displays The Qualities Of A “Magician”.
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُمْ ۖ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ.(110)
Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?”(110).
Egypt’s Pharaoh Told His Following Crowd:” It Is He (Prophet Mousah [AS]) Who Intends To “Display Magic” To Expel, Evict & Drive You Out Of Your Land, Therefore What Should You Advise Me To Do?
قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَأَرْسِلْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ.(111)
They said, “Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers (111).
The Crowd Of Egypt’s Pharaoh Suggested “To Postpone The Matter Of Prophet Mousah (AS) & His Brother, Prophet Haroun (AS) & Send Among The Villages & Communities Gatherers Who Will Bring You (Pharaoh) Every Sorcerer & Magician.
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَاحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ.(112)
“Who will bring you every learned magician”(112).
Who Will Bring You (Pharaoh) Every Sorcerer & Knowledgeable Magician.
وَجَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوا إِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ.(113)
And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, “Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant.” (113).
And The Sorcerers & Magician Came To Egypt’s Pharaoh Saying:” Will We Be Amongst The Prominent & Prevailing Insofar As Prophets Mousah (AS)? & Haroun (AS)?
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ.(114)
He said, “Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]”(114).
Egypt’s Pharaoh Responded Positively To The Sorcerers & Magicians, Saying: ”And You Shall Be Amongst The Closest To Me”.
قَالُوا يَا مُوسَىٰ إِمَّا أَن تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَن نَّكُونَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِينَ.(115)
They said, “O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]”(115).
The Sorcerers & Magicians Of The Pharaoh, Challenged Prophet Mousah (AS) Saying: ”Either You Throw Your Cain First Or We Shall Be The Ones To Throw Before You ?
قَالَ أَلْقُوا ۖ فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْا سَحَرُوا أَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَاءُوا بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيم.(116)
He said, “Throw,” and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic (116).
Prophet Mousah (AS) “Said: Hurl & Toss Your Cain, And So Once They [The Sorcerers & Magicians Of The Pharaoh] Hurled Their Cain They “Terrorised” The People Through “Great Magic”.
وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ.(117)
And We inspired to Moses, “Throw your staff,” and at once it devoured what they were falsifying (117).
Subsequent To The Event, In The Previous Ayah, We (SWT) Inspired Prophet Mousah (AS) To Throw His Cain Which Exterminated & Destroyed Whatever “False Magic” The Followers Of The Pharaoh Were Falsifying & Inventing.
فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ.(118)
So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing (118).
And Thus “The Truth Of What Allah (SWT) Desired From Prophet Mousah (AS) & His Brother Prophet Haroon (AS) Exterminated & Destroyed Whatever “False Magic” The Followers Of The Pharaoh Were Falsifying & Inventing.
فَغُلِبُوا هُنَالِكَ وَانقَلَبُوا صَاغِرِينَ.(119)
And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased (119).
And Thus Pharaoh & His Followers Were Vanquished There & Then And Were Made To Look “Incapable”.
وَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ .(120)
And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah] (120).
And Because Of The “Vanquishing” Of Pharaoh And His Followers, The Saucers & Magicians Fell Down On Their Knees In Prostration And Adoration “Sujoud” [To The One & Only Creator Of ALL Creation, “Allah (SWT)”].
قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ .(121)
They said, “We have believed in the Lord of the worlds, (121).
They [The Saucers & Magicians Said:” We Submit [To The One & Only Creator Of ALL Creation, “Allah (SWT)”].
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ.(122)
The Lord of Moses and Aaron” (122).
The Sorcerers & Magicians Of The Pharaoh Said We Submit [To The One & Only Creator Of ALL Creation, “Allah (SWT)”], The Lord Of Prophets Mousah (AS) & Haroon (AS).
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ آمَنتُم بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَّكَرْتُمُوهُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لِتُخْرِجُوا مِنْهَا أَهْلَهَا ۖ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ.(123)
Said Pharaoh, “You believed in him before I gave you permission. Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know (123).
The Pharaoh Said To His Sorcerers & Magicians:” You Believed In Prophet Mousah (AS) Before I Had Given You Permission”? This Is A Cunning & Deception Which You Conspired In The Village To Expel & Drive Out Its People. You Shall Thus Know The Consequences Of Your Actions.
لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ.(124)
I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides; then I will surely crucify you all.”(124).
The Consequences Of Your Actions Shall Be For Me To Punish & Penalize You Through Amputating Your Hands & Feet From Opposite Sides. Then I Shall Definitely Crucify You All On The Palm Trunks!!!
قَالُوا إِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ.(125)
They said, “Indeed, to our Lord we will return (125).
His Sorcerers & Magicians Replied To Pharaoh: “We Shall Surely Return To Our Lord Allah (SWT), Thus Submitting To The One & Only Creator Of ALL Creation, “Allah (SWT)”.
وَمَا تَنقِمُ مِنَّا إِلَّا أَنْ آمَنَّا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَاءَتْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ.(126)
And you do not resent us except because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]”(126).
And You Are Not Offended & Resentful Of Us Except Because We Believed & Submitted To The Ayat Of Allah (SWT). “Oh Allah (SWT) Instill Upon Us Patience & Let Us Meet You As Muslim Believers In You & In Islam.
وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ أَتَذَرُ مُوسَىٰ وَقَوْمَهُ لِيُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَآلِهَتَكَ ۚ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَنَسْتَحْيِي نِسَاءَهُمْ وَإِنَّا فَوْقَهُمْ قَاهِرُونَ.(127)
And the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said,” Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?” [Pharaoh] said, “We will kill their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them.”(127).
And The Followers & Supporters Of The Egyptian Pharaoh Responded By Saying:” Are You Going To Let Prophet Mousah (AS) Spread Corruption, Mischief & Havoc Thus Abandoning You & Your Gods ?? He Replied By Saying: ”We Shall Kill Their Sons, Keep Their Females Alive [For Servitude] & Indeed We Shall Have Irresistible Power Over Them”.
قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِينُوا بِاللَّهِ وَاصْبِرُوا ۖ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ۖ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ.(128)
Said Moses to his people, “Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.”(128).
Prophet Mousah (AS) Told His People & Followers:” Seek The Help Of Allah (SWT) And Wait In Patience & Constancy. For The WHOLE Earth (& Heavens Belong) To The Creator & Sustainer – Allah (SWT) – To Give Away As Heritage To Whom He (SWT) Pleases, And The Consequence Remains For The Pious & Righteous.
قَالُوا أُوذِينَا مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِن بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا ۚ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ.(129)
They said, “We have been harmed before you came to us and after you have come to us.” He said, “Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do.”(129).
Prophet Mousah (AS) & His Followers Said:” We Have Had Nothing But Trouble & Mischief From The Egyptian Pharaoh & His Followers Before & After You Came To Us With Your Message From Allah (SWT). Maybe & Conceivably Allah (SWT) Shall Respond To Your “Du’a And Wipeout Your Enemy”, Making You [Children Of Israel] Inheritors Of The Earth To Test You By Your Actions.
وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِالسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ.(130)
And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded (130).
And Therefore We (SWT) “Took” Pharaoh & His Followers With Years Of Drought & Shortness Of Crops [Because Of Allah (SWT)’s Rage & Anger] So That They Are Reminded Of What They Did To Prophet Mousah (AS) & His Followers [The Children Of Israel].
فَإِذَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوا لَنَا هَٰذِهِ ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُوا بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّمَا طَائِرُهُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُون.(131)
But when good came to them, they said, “This is ours [by right].” And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allah, but most of them do not know (131).
And So Whenever Good Times Came To Them, They Would Say: “This Is A Harbinger For Us. Conversely, When A Calamity Or Disaster Befalls Them, They Would Blame It On Prophet Mousah (AS) & His Followers [The Children Of Israel]. Undoubtedly, Their Serendipity Is With Allah (SWT), However Most People Are Unaware Of This Reality
وَقَالُوا مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِهِ مِنْ آيَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ.(132)
And they said, “No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you.”(132).
And The Followers Of The Pharaoh Of Egypt Told Prophet Mousah (AS) & His Followers [The Children Of Israel]: Whatever “Ayah” You Come Up With To Implement Your Sorcery, We Shall Not Believe In Prophet Mousah (AS) & His Followers.
فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الطُّوفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ وَالْقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ آيَاتٍ مُّفَصَّلَاتٍ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ.(133)
So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people (133).
And So We (SWT) Brought Down Upon Them: Floods, Locusts, Lice, Frogs & “Flowing” Blood….Ayat [From The Creator Allah (SWT)]. And So They Were Steeped In Pride & Arrogance And Were People Of Crime & Sin.
وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّجْزُ قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ ۖ لَئِن كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا الرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.(134)
And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, “O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel”(134).
And So Whenever The Penalty & And Torment Came Down From Allah (SWT) They Said:” Oh Mousah (AS) [Prophet Of Allah (SWT), Beseech Him (SWT) To Remove The Punishment & Torment That Has Befallen Us. [Then, We Shall Truly Believe In Your Message] & We Will Let The Children Of Israel Be Free To Accompany You.
فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْزَ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ هُم بَالِغُوهُ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ.(135)
But when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach, then at once they broke their word (135).
However, Upon The Removal Of The Penalty & Torment By The Creator (SWT) To A Prescribed Duration. Behold, They Brock Their Word & Promise.
فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَكَانُوا عَنْهَا غَافِلِينَ.(136)
So We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them (136).
And So We (SWT) Revenged From Them For Their Refusal And Rejection Of Our Commands & Messengers Resulting In Our Drowning Them In The Sea [Of The Egyptian Nile] Because They Were Oblivious & Inattentive Of Our Ayat.
وَأَوْرَثْنَا الْقَوْمَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُسْتَضْعَفُونَ مَشَارِقَ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبَهَا الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا ۖ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ الْحُسْنَىٰ عَلَىٰ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا ۖ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهُ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْرِشُونَ.(137)
And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building (137).
And So We (SWT) “Inherited” The Oppressed & Persecuted People [The Children Of Israel] Who Were Subjugated By The Egyptian Pharaoh [In The Eastern & Western Lands [Across The Suez Canal], Flowing N-S Across The Geography Of The “Great Nile River”] Which Allah (SWT) Had Blessed. Thus The Word Of Allah (SWT) Was Fulfilled & All The Egyptian Pharaoh & His Followers Had Constructed To Show-Off Their Buildings & Architecture Was Destroyed & Levelled To The Ground To Show Pharaoh The Power, Magnificence & Might Of Allah (SWT).
وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْبَحْرَ فَأَتَوْا عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ يَعْكُفُونَ عَلَىٰ أَصْنَامٍ لَّهُمْ ۚ قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى اجْعَل لَّنَا إِلَٰهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ ۚ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ.(138)
And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They said, “O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods.” He said, “Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly (138).
And We (SWT) Reached Out To The Children Of Israel Along With Prophet Mousah (AS) To Get Them Safely Across The Nile Sea. However, They Came Across A Group Of People Who Worshipped Idols. The Children Of Israel Asked Prophet Mousah (AS) To: ”Fabricate & Assemble For Them A God Like The One They Saw”. Prophet Mousah (AS) Said: ”You Are Certainly A People With Little Or No Knowledge” !!!
إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ مُتَبَّرٌ مَّا هُمْ فِيهِ وَبَاطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ.(139)
Indeed, those [worshippers] – destroyed is that in which they are [engaged], and worthless is whatever they were doing”(139).
Verily, For Those Worshippers, The Cult Which They Practise Is But A Fragment Of A Ruin And Vain Is The Worship Which They Practice.
قَالَ أَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ أَبْغِيكُمْ إِلَٰهًا وَهُوَ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ.(140)
He said, “Is it other than Allah I should desire for you as a god while He has preferred you over the worlds?”(140).
Prophet Mousah (AS) Told His Followers [The Children Of Israel] Shall I Seek For You A God Other Than The “Real” & One & Only Creator, Allah (SWT) Who Has Preferred You Over All Humanity.
وَإِذْ أَنجَيْنَاكُم مِّنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ ۖ يُقَتِّلُونَ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَاءَكُمْ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكُم بَلَاءٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ
عَظِيمٌ.(141)
And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment – killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord (141).
And Recall When We Allah (SWT) Saved You From Pharaoh & His Followers Who Afflicted The Children Of Israel With The Worst Of Punishment And Torment. They Slaughtered Your Males & Embarrassed Your Females Which Was A Great Scourge & Infliction From Allah (SWT).
وَوَاعَدْنَا مُوسَىٰ ثَلَاثِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَتْمَمْنَاهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِيقَاتُ رَبِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ۚ وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَخِيهِ هَارُونَ اخْلُفْنِي فِي قَوْمِي وَأَصْلِحْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ.(142)
And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and
perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, “Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters”(142).
And We Allah (SWT) Promised Prophet Mousah (AS) Thirty Nights And Completed The Total Period With 40 Nights Of Communion With Allah (SWT). And Prophet Mousah (AS) Told His Brother Prophet Haroon (AS) To Take His Place As A Leader Amongst The Children Of Israel, Doing Right By Them, Reforming & Do Not Follow Those Who Practise Mischievous Conduct.
وَلَمَّا جَاءَ مُوسَىٰ لِمِيقَاتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِي أَنظُرْ إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَالَ لَن تَرَانِي وَلَٰكِنِ انظُرْ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُ فَسَوْفَ تَرَانِي ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقًا ۚ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.(143)
And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You.” [ Allah ] said, “You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me.” But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, “Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers”(143).
And When Prophet Mousah (AS) Came To The Place Appointed By Allah (SWT), He Said: ”Oh Allah (SWT) Make Me “SEE YOU” !!! Allah (SWT) Replied: ” You Prophet Mousah (AS) Will Not Be Able To See Me. However, “Observe The Mountain [In Your View], If It Stays Firm In Its Place, Then You Will Be Able To “See Me, Your Creator Allah (SWT)”. However, Look At The Mountain (In Your View), If It Remains in Place Then You Will Be Able To See Me. Once Allah (SWT) Manifested His Might & Glory, He (SWT) Rendered The Mountain “Level” To The Ground. As A Result Of “This Great Event”, Prophet Mousah (AS) Fell To The Ground Unconscious. Upon Regaining His Awareness, He Said: “Glory Be To You Allah (SWT), I Have Repented To You In Shame & Remorse And I Am The First To Believe In You (SWT)”.
قَالَ يَا مُوسَىٰ إِنِّي اصْطَفَيْتُكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِرِسَالَاتِي وَبِكَلَامِي فَخُذْ مَا آتَيْتُكَ وَكُن مِّنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ.(144)
Allah (SWT) said, “O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful.”(144).
Allah (SWT) Said To Prophet Mousah (AS): “ I Have Chosen You & Lined You Up Over All My Worshippers From The Children Of Israel With My Messages To You & My Words Revealed To You In Your Holy Book, The Tawrah. Therefore, Take [From Me (SWT)] What I Have Revealed To You [& The Children Of Israel] In The Tawrah & Be Thankful.
وَكَتَبْنَا لَهُ فِي الْأَلْوَاحِ مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَّوْعِظَةً وَتَفْصِيلًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَخُذْهَا بِقُوَّةٍ وَأْمُرْ قَوْمَكَ يَأْخُذُوا بِأَحْسَنِهَا ۚ سَأُرِيكُمْ دَارَ الْفَاسِقِينَ.(145)
And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things – instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], “Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it. I will show you the home of the defiantly disobedient.”
And We (SWT) Ordained For Prophet Mousah (AS) In The Tablets Of Al Tawrah [The Jewish Holy Book] All Matters Of Life [Both Commanding & Explaining All Things]. Allah (SWT) Saying To Prophet Mousah (AS): “ Take My Commands & Advice” Steadfastly & Enjoin Your Followers, The Children Of Israel To Take The Best In The Precepts, Soon I (SWT) Shall Show & Reveal You Prophet The Home Of Evil, Sinful & Immoral.
سَأَصْرِفُ عَنْ آيَاتِيَ الَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَإِن يَرَوْا كُلَّ آيَةٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوا بِهَا وَإِن يَرَوْا سَبِيلَ الرُّشْدِ لَا يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلًا وَإِن يَرَوْا سَبِيلَ الْغَيِّ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَكَانُوا عَنْهَا غَافِلِينَ.(146)
I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them (146).
For Those Who Behave Arrogantly On The Earth In Defiance, I (SWT) Shall Turn Them Away From My Ayat & Even If They See Them All, They Will Not Believe In Them. And Even If They See The Correct Way Of Conduct They Will Not Adopt It, Because They Rejected Our Ayat And Failed To Take Warning Or Heed Them.
وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَلِقَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ ۚ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ.(147)
Those who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter – their deeds have become worthless. Are they recompensed except for what they used to do?(147).
And Those Who Deny & Reject Our Ayat (The Ayat Of Allah (SWT)) & Meeting (Him, SWT) In The Hereafter, Their Deeds Will Be In “Vain”. Can They Expect To Be Rewarded Only As They Have Wrought?
وَاتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوسَىٰ مِن بَعْدِهِ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُ خُوَارٌ ۚ أَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّهُ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا يَهْدِيهِمْ سَبِيلًا ۘ اتَّخَذُوهُ وَكَانُوا ظَالِمِينَ.(148)
And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf – an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers (148).
When Prophet Mousah (AS)’s Departure [To Meet Allah (SWT)] On Mount Tour [Located On The Southern Coastline Of The Saini Peninsula. [To Receive From Allah (SWT) The Ten Commandments]. Upon His Absence From The Children Of Israel, And Out Of Their Ornaments & Gold Which They Personally Wore As Ornaments. They Made a Calf-Like Figure Which Made A “Bellow” Sound Upon Wind Entering It.
وَلَمَّا سُقِطَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَرَأَوْا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ضَلُّوا قَالُوا لَئِن لَّمْ يَرْحَمْنَا رَبُّنَا وَيَغْفِرْ لَنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِين.(149)
And when regret overcame them and they saw that they had gone astray, they said, “If our Lord does not have mercy upon us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers”(149).
And When Repentance Took Over Their Feelings Seeing That They Had Gone Astray, They Said If Our Lord Allah (SWT) Does Not Have Mercy & Forgive Us, We Then Shall Definitely Be Amongst The Losing Worshipers.
وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوسَىٰ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ غَضْبَانَ أَسِفًا قَالَ بِئْسَمَا خَلَفْتُمُونِي مِن بَعْدِي ۖ أَعَجِلْتُمْ أَمْرَ رَبِّكُمْ ۖ وَأَلْقَى الْأَلْوَاحَ وَأَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ أَخِيهِ يَجُرُّهُ إِلَيْهِ ۚ قَالَ ابْنَ أُمَّ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ اسْتَضْعَفُونِي وَكَادُوا يَقْتُلُونَنِي فَلَا تُشْمِتْ بِيَ الْأَعْدَاءَ وَلَا تَجْعَلْنِي مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ.(150)
And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, “How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?” And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, “O son of my mother, indeed the people oppressed me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people”(150).
And When Prophet Mousah (AS) Arrived Back To The Israelites Subsequent To His Meeting With Allah (SWT) To Receive The “10 Commandments”, Angry & Sorrowful Of What The Israelites Perpetrated In His Absence, Saying:” Did You Hasten To Bring About The Judgement Of Your Lord Allah (SWT) ? And So Prophet Mousah (AS) Threw Onto The Ground The Tablets And Took His Brother Prophet Haroon (AS) By The Hair Of His Head Dragging Him Towards Prophet Mousah (AS). Prophet Haroon (AS) Said To His Elder Prophet Brother [Mousah (AS)]:”Oh Son Of My Mother, The Israelites Took Advantage Of Me And Were Out To Kill Me, Therefore Do Not Let Them Rejoice & Be Exuberant Counting Me Amongst The Sinful & Immoral.
قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِأَخِي وَأَدْخِلْنَا فِي رَحْمَتِكَ ۖ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ.(151)
[Moses] said, “My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful”(151).
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُفْتَرِينَ.(152)
Indeed, those who took the calf [for worship] will obtain anger from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and thus do We recompense the inventors [of falsehood](152) .
Verily, Those Who Have Taken The Calf [The Young Cow As A Deity] Shall Undergo Anger & Outrage From Their Lord Allah (SWT) And Humiliation And Embarrassment In This Worldly Lifetime And So We (SWT) Shall Reward The Slanderers.
وَالَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ تَابُوا مِن بَعْدِهَا وَآمَنُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ.(153)
But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and believed – indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful (153).
As For Those Wrongdoers [Who Committed Misdeeds & Atrocities in Their Lifetime] And Subsequently Are Regretful, Remorseful And Repentant, And [Re-Submitted To Islam As A Way Of Life] Then The Lord Allah (SWT) Shall Thereafter Be Forgiving And Merciful.
وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَن مُّوسَى الْغَضَبُ أَخَذَ الْأَلْوَاحَ ۖ وَفِي نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ يَرْهَبُونَ.(154)
And when the anger subsided in Moses, he took up the tablets; and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who are fearful of their Lord (154).
And When Prophet Mousah (AS)’s Anger & Rage Alleviated [After Having Thrown Them On To The Ground] He Took Up The Tablets Which Had In Their Inscription Guidance & Mercy For Those Who Fear Their Creator Allah (SWT).
وَاخْتَارَ مُوسَىٰ قَوْمَهُ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا لِّمِيقَاتِنَا ۖ فَلَمَّا أَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ أَهْلَكْتَهُم مِّن قَبْلُ وَإِيَّايَ ۖ أَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنَّا ۖ إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا فِتْنَتُكَ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَن تَشَاءُ وَتَهْدِي مَن تَشَاءُ ۖ أَنتَ
وَلِيُّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۖ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْغَافِرِينَ.(155)
And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. And when the earthquake seized them, he said, “My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are the best of forgivers (155).
And So Prophet Mousah (AS) Selected From His People Seventy Men To Meet Us [Allah (SWT)] At A Prescribed Place & Time Of Meeting, The Ground Shook Due To An Earthquake Which Struck The Area. Prophet Mousah (AS) Said:” Oh Allah (SWT) If You Had Willed, You Would Have Decimated Me Along With Them. Would You (SWT) Destroy Us For What The Foolish Israelites Have Committed? This Is But A Trial Through Which You (SWT) Cause Aberrance And Send Astray Whom You (SWT) Will And Guide Whom You (SWT) Will To The Righteous Path. You Are Our Protector, Supporter & Advocate. Thus Forgive Us & Shower Us With Your Mercy For You (SWT) Are The Best Of All Forgivers.
وَاكْتُبْ لَنَا فِي هَٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ إِنَّا هُدْنَا إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَال عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِهِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ ۖ وَرَحْمَتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ ۚ فَسَأَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِآيَاتِنَا يُؤْمِنُونَ.(156)
And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You.” [ Allah ] said, “My punishment – I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things.” So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakah and those who believe in Our verses (156).
And Ordain For Us In This Worldly Lifetime A Good & Charitable Deed & In The Hereafter, We Have Actually Been Guided By You (SWT), Allah (SWT) Replied My Torment Reaches Whom I Desire And My Mercy Embraces & Encompasses Everything. And So I Allah (SWT) Shall Ordain It For Those Who Are Pious, Pay Their Share Of Alms & Who Are Believers Of The Glorious Qur’an & Its Ayat.
الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الرَّسُولَ النَّبِيَّ الْأُمِّيَّ الَّذِي يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُم بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَالْأَغْلَالَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَاتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ مَعَهُ ۙ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ.(157)
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him – it is those who will be the successful (157).
Those (Muslim Believers) Who Follow The Messenger (Of Islam), The Unlettered Prophet Whose Mention Is In The Jewish Torah & The Christian Gospel. Who Enjoins Them To Perform Righteous Deeds & Prohibits Them From Performing Evil Deeds. He (SAAS) Relieves Them From Their Burdens, Manacles & Handcuffs & So It Is Those Who Believe in Him, His Message And The Light Which Was Sent Down With Him [From Allah (SWT)] Shall Be Prosperous, Infallible & Privileged.
قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ
النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَكَلِمَاتِهِ وَاتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ.(158)
Say, [O Muhammad], “O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death.” So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided (158).
Say Oh Muhammad (SAAS), Oh Humankind: “I Am But The Messenger Of Allah (SWT) Sent From Him (SWT) To You – To Whom Belongs The Dominion Of The Heavens & The Earth – There Is No Deity Except Him (SWT) – Who Grants Life & Takes It Away. Thus Believe In Allah (SWT) & His Final Messenger & Unlettered Prophet (SAAS) Who Believes In Allah (SWT) & His Words (SWT) – As Revealed In The Glorious Qur’an – Thus Follow Him & His Islamic Message So That You –As Practising Muslims – May Conceivably Be Guided By His Prophetic Muslim Message.
وَمِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ.(159)
And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth and by it establishes justice (159).
And From The Followers Of Prophet Mousah (AS), There Is A Nation Who Guide By Truth And Through It Justice Is Established.
وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًا ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ إِذِ اسْتَسْقَاهُ قَوْمُهُ أَنِ اضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ ۖ فَانبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوَىٰ ۖ كُلُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ.(160)
And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, “Strike with your staff the stone,” and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, [saying], “Eat from the good things with which We have provided you.” And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging themselves (160).
And We (SWT) Subdivided The Followers Of Prophet Mousah (AS) – The Israelites – Into Twelve Related Tribes [Called Al “Assbat” In Arabic] Descending From The Same Israelites Who Followed Prophet Mousah (AS). Each Of The Twelve Tribes Belonged To One Of The 12 Sons Of Prophet Yaqoub (AS) Who Led His (Particular Nation) Becoming Their Chosen Leader. And We (SWT) Inspired & Insufflated Prophet Mousah (AS) Upon His Thirsty People Imploring Him For Drinking Water While, “Strike The Body Of Rock With Your Cane”. This Action Caused Each “Sibt” To Know Its “Watering Fountain” And Not To Go Astray. And We (SWT). We (SWT) Shaded Them With Clouds & Delivered To Them Mann & Salwa: Saying: “Eat From The Delicious And Descent Foods Which We Have Made Available For You”. And They Wronged Us (SWT) Not, However They Were Only Being Unjust To Themselves.
وَإِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْكُنُوا هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ وَكُلُوا مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ وَادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِيئَاتِكُمْ ۚ سَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ.(161)
And [mention, O Muhammad], when it was said to them, “Dwell in this city and eat from it wherever you will and say, ‘Relieve us of our burdens,’ and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will [then] forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]”(161).
And Upon Telling Them To House Themselves And Live In This Village & Eat From Wherever You Wish Saying:” Relieve Us From Our Burdens“ & Enter The Gate, Humbly Bowing [In Sujoud Posture]. We (SWT) Shall Forgive You Your Sins And Augment The Rewards Of The Benevolent & Kind People.
فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَظْلِمُونَ.(162)
But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them. So We sent upon them a punishment from the sky for the wrong that they were doing (162).
And So The Transgressors Who Were Unjust Changed The Speech That Was Uttered To Them And Thus We (SWT) Sent Upon Them Abomination From The Heavens In Response To What They Unjustly Treated People.
وَاسْأَلْهُمْ عَنِ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ الْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِي السَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُونَ ۙ لَا تَأْتِيهِمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَبْلُوهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُون.(163)
And ask them about the town that was by the sea – when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath – when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient (163).
And Ask Them Oh Muhammad (SAAS) About The Village Situated By The Seaside [Which Was Said To Be Aylah Near To Aqabah City [While Others Claimed The Town To Be Tiberias]. They Transgressed On The Saturday [The Sabbath] When Their Fish Came To Them Openly Holding Up Their Heads. However, On The Day They Had No Sabbath, Their Fish Did Not Show Up. And So This Was A Trial & Great Hardship From Allah (SWT) To Those Who Practise Debauchery.
وَإِذْ قَالَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِّنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوْمًا ۙ اللَّهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا ۖ قَالُوا مَعْذِرَةً إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ.(164)
And when a community among them said, “Why do you advise [or warn] a people whom Allah is [about] to destroy or to punish with a severe punishment?” they [the advisors] said, “To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him.”(164).
And Thus A Group Of Reformed Villagers Said To Others Who Were Diligently Advising The Aggressors On The Sabbath & Who Refused To Give Up Sinning & Being Pious, Why Do You Advise People Whom Allah (SWT) Shall Destroy Or Severely Torment ?? They Replied: “Apologies” To Your Lord For Abandoning The Qur’anic Principle Of “Enjoining The Good And Prohibiting The Bad”!!
So That Eventually The Israelites Might Follow Piety. Thus They Split Into 3 Parties: One Party Was Intransigent, The Second Party Was Indifferent While The Third Party Renounced & Retreated.
فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ أَنجَيْنَا الَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ السُّوءِ وَأَخَذْنَا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا بِعَذَابٍ بَئِيسٍ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ.(165)
And when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying (165).
And So When The Insubordinate & Intransigent Aggressors Of The Village Gave Up What They Were Reminded Of, We (SWT) Saved The Pious And Took Those Who Were Unjustly Treating People With Grievous To Obvious Debauchery.
فَلَمَّا عَتَوْا عَن مَّا نُهُوا عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا قِرَدَةً خَاسِئِينَ.(166)
So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, “Be “Despised” Apes (166).
And So When They Became Arrogant & Impertinent Of What They Had Been Banned And Prohibited From, We (SWT) Said To Them: ”Trun Into Despised (Looser) Apes.
وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ ۖ وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ.(167)
And [mention] when your Lord declared that He would surely [continue to] send upon them until the Day of Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful (167).
Behold [Oh Muhammad (SAAS)] Your Lord Allah (SWT) Declared That He (SWT) Would Send Against Them [The 3 Parties Of The Israelites: See Ayah # 164] Till The Day Of Resurrection Those Who Would Afflict Them With Grievous Torment. Verily, Your Lord [Oh Muhammad (SAAS) Is Rapid & Swift In Penalty But He (SWT) Is At The Same Time Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أُمَمًا ۖ مِّنْهُمُ الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَبَلَوْنَاهُم بِالْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ.(168)
And We divided them throughout the earth into nations. Of them some were righteous, and of them some were otherwise. And We tested them with good [times] and bad that perhaps they would return [to obedience] (168).
And We (SWT) Subdivided The Israelites Into Nations Spread All Over The Earth. Some Were Righteous And Some Were The Reverse. We (SWT) Have Tried Them With Prosperity & Adversity So That They May Turn To Us [Allah (SWT)].
فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُوا الْكِتَابَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَٰذَا الْأَدْنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهُ يَأْخُذُوهُ ۚ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِم مِّيثَاقُ الْكِتَابِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوا مَا فِيهِ ۗ وَالدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ.(169)
And there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture [while] taking the commodities of this lower life and saying, “It will be forgiven for us.” And if an offer like it comes to them, they will [again] take it. Was not the covenant of the Scripture taken from them that they would not say about Allah except the truth, and they studied what was in it? And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allah, so will you not use reason (169)?
After Them Were Successors Who Inherited The Tawra [The Book Of Prophet Mousah (AS)] And Who Were An Evil Generation Of Israelites That Chose For Themselves The Vanities and Arrogance Of This Worldly Life Saying: ”We Shall Be Forgiven For All Our Sins & Trespassing . And If Similar Vanities Came Our Way Again, We Would Seize Them Again. Was Not The Covenant Of The Holy Books: The Jewish Taurah & The Christian Gospel Taken From Both The Jews & Christians That They Would Not Ascribe To Allah (SWT) Anything Other Than The Truth? And The Jews Studied The Taurah And Left Behind Their Backs The Covenant With Allah (SWT). Hence The Best For The Righteous From The Jews Is The Home In The Hereafter, Will You Not Comprehend?
وَالَّذِينَ يُمَسِّكُونَ بِالْكِتَابِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُصْلِحِينَ.(170)
But those who hold fast to the Book and establish prayer – indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of the reformers (170).
And Those Israelites Who Hold Firmly To The Taurah And Establish Prayers To Allah (SWT), He (SWT) Shall Not Waist The Recompense Of The Reformers.
وَإِذْ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ خُذُوا مَا آتَيْنَاكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاذْكُرُوا مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ .(171)
And [mention] when We raised the mountain above them as if it was a dark cloud and they were certain that it would fall upon them, [and Allah said], “Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that you might fear Allah.”
And Mention To Them Oh Muhammad (SAAS) When Allah (SWT) Uprooted “Mount Tour” As Though It Was A Huge Dark Cloud Hanging Over The Heads Of The Israelites With Their Perception That It Shall Fall On Their Heads. Allah (SWT) Then Commanded Them To Take What He (SWT) Provided Them With Forcefully, Mentioning To Them What Is In It So That They Might Be Pious To Him (SWT).
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ ۛ شَهِدْنَا ۛ أَن تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَٰذَا غَافِلِين (172).
And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam – from their loins – their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], “Am I not your Lord?” They said, “Yes, we have testified.” [This] – lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, “Indeed, we were of this unaware”(172).
And Mention To Them Oh Muhammad (SAAS) When Allah (SWT) Drew Forth From The Children Of Prophet Adam [The First & Father Of All Prophets] From Their Loins Their Descendants, And Made Them Witness On Themselves, Saying: “Am I Not Allah (SWT), Your Lord? They Replied Affirmatively: “We Do Testify”: Lest You Should Say On Resurrection Day:” We Were Heedless and Oblivious.
أَوْ تَقُولُوا إِنَّمَا أَشْرَكَ آبَاؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِّن بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ(173).
Or [lest] you say, “It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?”(173).
Or You Might Say:”It Was Our Fathers Who Were Polytheists Before Us, And We Were Their Offspring. Thus, Will You (SWT) Destroy Us Due To People Who Falsify Truth Into Falsehood.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ.(174)
And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return (174).
And Thus This Is How We (SWT) Detail & Explain Our [Our Glorious Qur’an Ayat] So That They May Return Back To Us [With Total Submission & Full Belief].
وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِي آتَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا فَانسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ.(175)
And recite to them, [O Muhammad], the news of him to whom we gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators (175).
And Recite To Them Oh Muhammad [SAAS] The News Of The One Whom We (SWT) Gave Explanations Of Our Ayat. However, He “Painfully Detached” His Skin From His Body [Like A Sheep]. For This Act, Alshaytan Followed Him, Only To Become A Seducer & Evildoer [Himself].
وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَاهُ بِهَا وَلَٰكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ ۚ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ إِن تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَث ۚ ذَّٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۚ فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ.(176)
And if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought (176).
And If We (SWT) Had Wished We Would Have Raised & Lifted Him Up With Our Ayat But He [Al Shaytan] Preferred To Remain On The Ground Only To Follow His Own Whims & Desires. His Similitude Is That Of A Dog, If You Attack Him, He Gasps, Or If You Leave Him (Alone) He Still Gasps. That Is The Example Of People Who Repudiate & Reject The Ayat Of Allah (SWT), Thus Oh Muhammad [SAAS] Narrate & Recount The Stories From The Glorious Qur’an So That They May Comprehend.
سَاءَ مَثَلًا الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَأَنفُسَهُمْ كَانُوا يَظْلِمُونَ.(177)
How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves (177).
Worsened Is The Example Of The People Who Have Denied Our Ayat And Whom Were At The Same Time Unjust To Themselves.
مَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِي ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ.(178)
Whoever Allah guides – he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray – it is those who are the losers (178).
Whosoever Allah (SWT) Guides, Then He Is The Correctly Guided To The Path Of Allah (SWT). [Conversely] Whosoever Allah (SWT) Leaves To One’s Personal Aberrance, Then Those Are The Loosers.
وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ ۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ(179)
And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless (179).
And Thus We (SWT) Have Created For Hell A Lot Of Jinn & Humankind. They Have Hearts Which They Do Not Comprehend With And Eyes Which Are Visionless, And Ears Which They Cannot Hear With. Those Are Similar To Sheep,
Cattle & Other Livestock Who Are More In Aberrance And Thus Were Oblivious and Inattentive.
وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا ۖ وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ ۚ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ.(180)
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing (180).
And To Allah (SWT) Belong All The Splendid & Gorgeous Names, Thus Implore & Beseech Him (SWT) Through Them. And Leave Those Who Are Practising Atheism In His Name, They Shall Be Requited For Their Actions.
وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ(181)
And among those We created is a community which guides by truth and thereby establishes justice (181).
And From Those Whom We (SWT) Created Are A Nation Who Are Guided By Truth [As Revealed By The Glorious Qur’an & The Honorable Sunnah Of The Final Prophet & Messenger Of Islam Muhammad [SAAS]]. Through This Almighty And Omnipotent Guidance “They Establish & Demonstrate Justice”.
وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ.(182)
But those who deny Our signs – We will progressively lead them [to destruction] from where they do not know (182).
And Those Who Reject, Refuse & Repudiate Our Ayat [As Revealed In The Glorious Qur’an] We (SWT) Shall Entice Them From Where They Are Unaware.
وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ.(183)
And I will give them time. Indeed, my plan is firm (183).
And I (SWT) Shall Lend Them The Necessary Time After Which, I (SWT) Shall Verily Show Them, How Strong Allah (SWT)’s Collusion & Machination Would Be.
أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا ۗ مَا بِصَاحِبِهِم مِّن جِنَّةٍ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ.(184)
Then do they not give thought? There is in their companion [Muhammad] no madness. He is not but a clear warner (184).
This Is An Ayah Directed To The Prophet Of Islam Muhammad [SAAS] By His Followers.” Do They Not Think Of Their Prophet/Companion Possessing Any Madness? He Is But An Omen”.
أَوَلَمْ يَنظُرُوا فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ وَأَنْ عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ ۖ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ.(185)
Do they not look into the realm of the heavens and the earth and everything that Allah has created and [think] that perhaps their appointed time has come near? So in what statement hereafter will they believe (185)?
Do They Not See The Dominion & Realms Of The Heavens & Earth And That Allah (SWT) Is The Ultimate Creator Of All Creation And That Perhaps Their Term In Existence Is Drawing Near? Thus In What Message Other Than The Glorious Qur’an & Honorable Prophetic Sunnah Of The Prophet Muhammad [SAAS] Will They Believe??
مَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ ۚ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ.(186)
Whoever Allah sends astray – there is no guide for him. And He leaves them in their transgression, wandering blindly (186).
Whom So Ever Allah (SWT) Leaves For Aberrance, Then He Has No Guidance And Is Blinded By His (Their) Own Tyranny.
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي ۖ لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَا إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ ثَقُلَتْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ لَا تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلَّا بَغْتَةً ۗ يَسْأَلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنْهَا ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ اللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُون.(187)
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, “Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly.” They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, “Its knowledge is only with Allah , but most of the people do not know (187).”
Oh Muhammad [SAAS] Your Muslim Believers Ask You About The Final Hour (Of The Hereafter). Reply To Them That Its Knowledge Is “Unknown” Except By Allah (SWT) And Is Heavily Existent In The Heavens And Earth. But Most People Are
Unaware.
قُل لَّا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَلَوْ كُنتُ أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَمَا مَسَّنِيَ السُّوءُ ۚ إِنْ أَنَا إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ.(188)
Say, “I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allah has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe (188).”
Say Oh Muhammad [SAAS]:”I Do Not Possess For Myself Any Benefit Or Harm, Only That “Willed” By Allah (SWT) And Had I Knew The Transcendent I Would Have Come To Take Possession Of The “Good” And No Harm Would Have Come Near Me. I Muhammad [SAAS] Am Not But Messenger Of Allah (SWT) To People Who Are Believers In The Message Of Allah (SWT) As Revealed In The Glorious Qur’an And The Confirmed By The Honourable Prophetic Sunnah Of [The Last Prophet & Messenger] Muhammad [SAAS].
هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا ۖ فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّاهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِيفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ ۖ فَلَمَّا أَثْقَلَت دَّعَوَا اللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ آتَيْتَنَا صَالِحًا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ(189)
It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he covers her, she carries a light burden and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allah, their Lord, “If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful (189).”
He (SWT) Is The Creator Of All Humankind From One Soul (From The Father Of All Prophets: Prophet Adam (AS)) And Created His Marriage Partner (A Female With The Name Of) Hawwa To Reside Together. Upon The Female Becoming Pregnant, She Carried Her Baby (Unnoticed). When Her Pregnancy Got Heavier (And Larger), Both Beseeched Allah (SWT) If You (SWT) Gift Us With A Good Child We Shall Be Grateful.
فَلَمَّا آتَاهُمَا صَالِحًا جَعَلَا لَهُ شُرَكَاءَ فِيمَا آتَاهُمَا ۚ فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ.(190)
But when He gives them a good [child], they ascribe partners to Him concerning that which He has given them. Exalted is Allah above what they associate with Him (190).
Upon Gifting Them With A Righteous Offspring, They Ascribed Partners To Him (SWT). Exalted Be Allah (SWT) With What They Associate To Him.
أَيُشْرِكُونَ مَا لَا يَخْلُقُ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ.(191)
Do they associate with Him those who create nothing and they are [themselves] created (191)?
Do They [The Pagans] Associate Idles With Allah (SWT) While They Are Themselves Created [By Human Hands]?
وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ لَهُمْ نَصْرًا وَلَا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُون( .(192
And the false deities are unable to [give] them help, nor can they help themselves (192).
And They [The Idles] Cannot Give Help To Others, Nor Can They Help Themselves.
وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَىٰ لَا يَتَّبِعُوكُمْ ۚ سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَدَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ أَمْ أَنتُمْ صَامِتُونَ(193)
And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent (193).
And If You Muhammad [SAAS] Call Your Followers To Guidance [To The Glorious Qur’an & Honorable Prophetic Sunnah], They Will Not Obey Or Follow You Even If You Oh Muhammad [SAAS] Invite Them To Islam Or Remain Silent.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ عِبَادٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ ۖ فَادْعُوهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ.(194)
Indeed, those you [polytheists] call upon besides Allah are servants like you. So call upon them and let them respond to you, if you should be truthful (194).
Verily Those Pagans You Beseech Other Than Allah (SWT) Are But Worshipers Like You And Thus Beseech Them To Get Them To Respond To You If You Were Sincere & Honest.
أَلَهُمْ أَرْجُلٌ يَمْشُونَ بِهَا ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَيْدٍ يَبْطِشُونَ بِهَا ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ آذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۗ قُلِ ادْعُوا شُرَكَاءَكُمْ ثُمَّ كِيدُونِ فَلَا تُنظِرُونِ(195)
Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muhammad], “Call your ‘partners’ and then conspire against me and give me no respite (195).
Do Those Whom You Claim To Be Partners To Allah (SWT) Possess Legs & Feet To Walk With? Or Hands To Strike With? Or Eyes To Observe With? Or Ears By Which They Listen? Oh Muhammad [SAAS] Invoke The Partners You Claim With Allah (SWT) Then Perform Your Scheme & Plot Against Me Without Any Reprieve Or Procrastination.
إِنَّ وَلِيِّيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ ۖ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصَّالِحِينَ.(196)
Indeed, my protector is Allah, who has sent down the Book; and He is an ally to the righteous (196).
[Oh Muhammad] Say Verily, Allah (SWT) Is My Guardian & Custodian Who Has Revealed The Glorious Qur’an And He (SWT) Takes Care Of The Righteous Believers.
وَالَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَكُمْ وَلَا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُونَ.(197)
And those you call upon besides Him are unable to help you, nor can they help themselves”(197).
And Those Whom You Beseech Besides Allah (SWT) Are Unable To Help You, Nor Are Able To Help Themselves.
وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَىٰ لَا يَسْمَعُوا ۖ وَتَرَاهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ.(198)
And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see them looking at you while they do not see (198).
And If You, Oh Muhammad [SAAS] Call & Summon Them To Guidance They Do Not Listen And You See Them While They Do Not Observe You.
خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ.(199)
Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant (199).
Oh Muhammad [SAAS] Hold On To “Forgiveness” And Enjoin And Command That Which Is Right And Turn Away From The Ignorant.
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ.(200)
And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing (200).
And If Al Shaytan Assails Your Mind Oh Muhammad [SAAS] Then Seek Refuge In Allah (SWT) For He (SWT) Is The All Hearing & All Knowledgeable.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَائِفٌ مِّنَ الشَّيْطَانِ تَذَكَّرُوا فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْصِرُونَ.(201)
Indeed, those who fear Allah – when an impulse touches them from Satan, they remember [Him] and at once they have insight (201).
Verily, Those Believers Who Are Pious, Upon Being Exposed To A Compulsion And Whim From Al Shaytan, They Remember [Allah (SWT) ] And Thus Possess Vision.
وَإِخْوَانُهُمْ يَمُدُّونَهُمْ فِي الْغَيِّ ثُمَّ لَا يُقْصِرُونَ. (202)
But their brothers – the devils increase them in error; then they do not stop short (202).
However, Their Shayateen (Plural Of Al Shaytan) Plunge Them Deeper Into Delusion And Deception Then They Do Not Fall Short.
وَإِذَا لَمْ تَأْتِهِم بِآيَةٍ قَالُوا لَوْلَا اجْتَبَيْتَهَا ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ مِن رَّبِّي ۚ هَٰذَا بَصَائِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ.(203)
And when you, [O Muhammad], do not bring them a sign, they say, “Why have you not contrived it?” Say, “I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This [Qur’an] is enlightenment from your Lord and guidance and mercy for a people who believe (203).”
And If, Oh Muhammad [SAAS] You Do Not Come Up With A Revealed Ayah, They Would Say: “You Could Bring About Or Fake Them”. Say: “I Can Only & Shall Only Follow What My Lord Allah (SWT) Reveals To Me. This Is Illumination And Edification From Allah (SWT) And A Guidance And Mercy For People Who Believe.
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ.(204)
So when the Qur’an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy (204).
And If And When The Glorious Qur’an Is Recited Then Listen [Attentively] And Pay [Full Attention] So That You May Receive Full Benefit & Mercy (From The Creator, Allah (SWT).
وَاذْكُر رَّبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخِيفَةً وَدُونَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ وَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ الْغَافِلِينَ.(205)
And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech – in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless (205).
And Invoke Your Lord Allah (SWT) Covertly Within Yourself In Supplication & With Fear From Him (SWT) In Mornings & Evenings And Do Not Be Amongst The Oblivious & Thoughtless.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُ وَلَهُ يَسْجُدُونَ ۩.(206)
Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they prostrate (206).
Verily, Those (Righteous Believers) Who Are Not Arrogant From The Worship Of Allah (SWT) And Praise & Exalt Him & To Him (SWT) They Prostrate.
