Al Shawkani Exegesis – Surat Al Ra’ad (No 13)
Ayah 1-43
المر ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ ۗ وَالَّذِي أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ الْحَقُّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ.(1)
Alif, Lam, Meem, Ra. These are the verses of the Book; and what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, but most of the people do not believe (1).
Alif, Lam, Meem, Ra. [For Explanation Refer Back To Earlier Suwar Such As Surat Yusuf]. These Are The Ayat (Verses) Of The Book (The Glorious Qur’an). And What Has Been Revealed To You Oh Muhammad (The Final Prophet & Messenger Of Allah [SWT]) From Your Lord Is The Truth, But Human Kind Are Disbelievers.
اللَّهُ الَّذِي رَفَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ۖ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُم بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ.(2)
It is Allah who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne and made subject the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. He arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting with your Lord, be certain (2).
Allah (SWT) Has Established & Assembled The Heavens With Supports & Pillars That Are Invisible To Humans. He (SWT) Created His Throne, Then Assumed Himself Upon It. He (SWT) Then Created The Sun & Moon To Run Their Trajectory & Orbit. Thus Ascertaining Daylight & Night Time To A Prescribed Time. This Is A Definite Sign That All Humanity Will Be Facing Their Creator On Judgment Day.
وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَدَّ الْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنْهَارًا ۖ وَمِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ جَعَلَ فِيهَا زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ ۖ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ.(3)
And it is He who spread the earth and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all of the fruits He made therein two mates; He causes the night to cover the day. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought (3).
And He (SWT) Stretched Out The Earth With Mountains & Rivers And From All Types Of Fruit He (SWT) Created Male & Female. He (SWT) Shields The Daylight With Darkness And Vise Verse. Verily, In That Are Ayat To A People Who Are Able To Comprehend.
وَفِي الْأَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجَاوِرَاتٌ وَجَنَّاتٌ مِّنْ أعْنَابٍ وَزَرْعٌ وَنَخِيلٌ صِنْوَانٌ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوَانٍ يُسْقَىٰ بِمَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِي الْأُكُلِ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ.(4)
And within the land are neighboring plots and gardens of grapevines and crops and palm trees, [growing] several from a root or otherwise, watered with one water; but We make some of them exceed others in [quality of] fruit. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason (4).
And Upon The Earth Are Adjacent Lots & Plots Of Gardens Of Grapevine Crops & Palm Trees. Emerging & Emanating From A Single Root Or Otherwise, Watered With A Single Source Of Water. However, We (SWT) Make Some Fruit Exceed Others In Taste & Flavour. Thus In That Are Ayat For People Who Comprehend & Believe.
وَإِن تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌ قَوْلُهُمْ أَإِذَا كُنَّا تُرَابًا أَإِنَّا لَفِي خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ ۗ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ الْأَغْلَالُ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُون.(5)
And if you are astonished, [O Muhammad] – then astonishing is their saying, “When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?” Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally (5).
And If Oh Muhammad You Are Surprised, Then Surprising Is What They Are Saying;” Upon Becoming Soil & Dust, Will We “Surly” Be Resurrected Into A New Creation?” Those Are The Blasphemous & Nonbelievers In Allah (SWT) Who Will Be Furnished With Shackles Upon Their Necks. They Are Companions Of The Hellfire, In Which They Shall Remain Eternally Therein.
وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِمُ الْمَثُلَاتُ ۗ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ ظُلْمِهِمْ ۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ.(6)
They impatiently urge you to bring about evil before good, while there has already occurred before them similar punishments [to what they demand]. And indeed, your Lord is full of forgiveness for the people despite their wrongdoing, and indeed, your Lord is severe in penalty (6).
They, Oh Muhammad Desire You To Urgently Bring About Unhappiness Before Happiness. While There Has Already Occurred Similar Torments To What They Desire. Allah (SWT) Is Oft Forgiving To Humankind For Their Transgressions And Is Severe In Punishment For Their Wrongdoing.
وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ ۗ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرٌ ۖ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ.(7)
And those who disbelieved say, “Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?” You are only a warner, and for every people is a guide (7).
And The Blasphemous Would Say:” Why Has There Not Been An Ayah Revealed From His Lord?” You Muhammad Are But A Harbinger & A Warner For Your People.
اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَىٰ وَمَا تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ ۖ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِندَهُ بِمِقْدَارٍ(.(8
Allah knows what every female carries and what the wombs lose [prematurely] or exceed. And everything with Him is by due measure (8).
Allah (SWT) Is Knowledgeable Of What Each Female Carries in Her Womb And What Wombs Lose Or Gain (Prematurely). And Everything With Allah (SWT) Is By Due Measure.
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْكَبِيرُ الْمُتَعَالِ.(9)
[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Grand, the Exalted (9).
He (SWT) Is The All Knowledgeable, The Knowledgeable Of The Invisible, The Grand & The Transcendent.
سَوَاءٌ مِّنكُم مَّنْ أَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَمَن جَهَرَ بِهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْفٍ بِاللَّيْلِ وَسَارِبٌ بِالنَّهَارِ.(10)
It is the same [to Him] concerning you whether one conceals [his] speech or one publicizes it and whether one is hidden by night or conspicuous [among others] by day (10).
Weather Amongst You Who Concealed His Speech Or Publicized It And Weather He Hides By Night & Is Prominent, Visible & Apparent During Daylight.
لهُ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ مِّن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ ۗ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ مِن وَال(11).
For each one are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron (11).
For Every Believer Are Angles In Front & Behind Guarding Him By Allah (SWT) Command. Verily, SWT Shall & Will Not Change The Status Of A People Until They Change What Is In Their Hearts & Minds. And Whenever Allah (SWT) Means & Intends Hardship & Evil To A People Then There Is No Beating Back And He (SWT) Is The Guarantor Of Patronage.
هُوَ الَّذِي يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ.(12)
It is He who shows you lightening, [causing] fear and aspiration, and generates the heavy clouds (12).
He (SWT) Who Shows You Lightning, Thus Causing You Fear, Desire & Expectation Generating Thick & Heavy Clouds.
وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَن يَشَاءُ وَهُمْ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي اللَّهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ الْمِحَالِ.(13)
And the thunder exalts Allah with Praise of Him (SWT)- and the angels [as well] from fear of Him – and He sends thunderbolts and strikes therewith whom He wills while they dispute about Allah ; and He is severe in assault (13).
And Thunder Exalts Allah (SWT) Praising Him As Well As The Angels Fearing
Him (SWT). And He Brings Down Thunderbolts Striking Whomever He (SWT)
Wishes And They Dispute In Allah (SWT)’s Existence & He Is Severe In Displaying Truth & Reality To Humankind.
لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْمَاءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهِ ۚ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ.(14)
To Him [alone] is the supplication of truth. And those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches his hands toward water [from afar, calling it] to reach his mouth, but it will not reach it [thus]. And the supplication of the disbelievers is Not but in error
(in futility) (14).
To Allah (SWT) Belongs The Call Of Truth. And Those Whom They Call
Apart From Allah (SWT) Do Not Respond With Anything Except To A
Person Stretching His Mouth Towards Water Without Reaching It. And
The Supplication Of The Blasphemous is in Aberrance.
وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا وَظِلَالُهُم بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ ۩ .(15)
And to Allah prostrates whoever is within the heavens and the earth, willingly or by compulsion, and their shadows [as well] in the mornings and the afternoons (15).
And To Allah (SWT) Is Worshiping & Prostrating Whoever Exists In The
Heavens & The Earth By Will Or By Force & Their Shadows In Dawn &
In Dusk.
قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ قُلِ اللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَاتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا ۚ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِي الظُّلُمَاتُ وَالنُّورُ ۗ أَمْ جَعَلُوا لِلَّهِ شُرَكَاءَ خَلَقُوا كَخَلْقِهِ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ قُلِ اللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ.(16)
Say, “Who is Lord of the heavens and earth?” Say, “Allah. Say, ” Have you then taken besides Him allies not possessing [even] for themselves any benefit or any harm?” Say, “Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Or is darkness equivalent to light? Or have they attributed to Allah partners who created like His creation so that the creation [of each] seemed similar to them?” Say, “Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Prevailing.”
Say, Oh Muhammad (Prophet Of Allah) Who Is The Lord Of The Heavens &
Earth? Reply Them: “It Is But Allah (SWT). Say: “Have You Taken Partners
Other Than He (SWT) Who Possess Any Benefit Or Any Harm”. Say Oh
Muhammad Does Blindness Equate Vision? Or Does Darkness Equate
Light? Or Have They Attributed To Allah (SWT) Partners Who Have Created
Equivalents To His Creation? Say Oh Muhammad, Allah (SWT) Is The
Overall, Supreme & Predominant Creator.
أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَسَالَتْ أَوْدِيَةٌ بِقَدَرِهَا فَاحْتَمَلَ السَّيْلُ زَبَدًا رَّابِيًا ۚ وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِي النَّارِ ابْتِغَاءَ حِلْيَةٍ أَوْ مَتَاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِّثْلُهُ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ وَالْبَاطِلَ ۚ فَأَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَاءً ۖ وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ.(17)
He sends down from the sky, rain, and valleys flow according to their capacity, and the torrent carries a rising foam. And from that [ore] which they heat in the fire, desiring adornments and utensils, is a foam like it. Thus Allah presents [the example of] truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth. Thus does Allah present examples (17).
Allah (SWT) Brought Down From The Skies Rain Causing Valleys To Flow
Up To Their Capacity And The Torrent Floods Carrying A Deluge Of Foam.
And From That [Ore] Which They Heat On The Fire, Desiring Adornments and
Utensils Is A Foam Like It Thus Allah Presents [The Example Of] Truth and
Falsehood. As For The Foam, It Vanishes, [Being] Cast Off; But That Which
Benefits Humankind, Remains On The Earth.
لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمُ الْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَهُ لَوْ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ لَافْتَدَوْا بِهِ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ الْحِسَابِ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ.(18)
For those who have responded to their Lord is the best [reward], but those who did not respond to Him – if they had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [attempt to] ransom themselves thereby. Those will have the worst account, and their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place (18).
For Those Who Answer And Acknowledge Their Lord Allah (SWT) Through Performing Good Deeds During Lifetime Enter Jannat Al Firdows. While Those Who Conversely Do Bad Deeds In Their Life, Stand To Be Judged By Allah (SWT) & His Witnessing Angles, Then If The Latter Group Possessed All Within The Earth (And A Similar Amount Along Side It), They Would Attempt Ransoming Themselves Or Providing Payoffs. Those Will Inevitably Get The Worst Case Scenario (Receiving The Ultimate Punishment) With Their Refuge In The Hereafter Being The Wretched Thalamus.
أَفَمَن يَعْلَمُ أَنَّمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ الْحَقُّ كَمَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَىٰ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ.(19)
Then is he who knows that what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth like one who is blind? They will only be reminded who are people of understanding (19).
And Therefore, Whoever Comprehends That What Has Been Revealed To You Oh Muhammad (Prophet Of Islam) From Your Lord Allah (SWT) Is The Truth As Though He Is Blind? Verily, Those People Who Comprehend Are Those With Realization & Awareness.
الَّذِينَ يُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَلَا يَنقُضُونَ الْمِيثَاقَ.(20)
Those who fulfill the covenant of Allah and do not break the contract (20).
Those Who Perfect, Fulfill & Consummate The Pledge & Promise With Allah (SWT) And Do Not Abort The Pledge.
وَالَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَيَخَافُونَ سُوءَ الْحِسَابِ.(21)
And those who join that which Allah has ordered to be joined and fear their Lord and are afraid of the evil of [their] account (21).
And Those Who Enjoin & Admonish That Which Allah (SWT) Has Commanded To Be Enjoined Fearing Their Lord, The Wrongful & Sinful Actions Fearing The Wrongdoing & Transgression Of Their Bad Deeds.
وَالَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ.(22)
And those who are patient, seeking the countenance of their Lord, and establish prayer and spend from what We have provided for them secretly and publicly and prevent evil with good – those will have the good consequence of [this] home (22).
And For Those Believers Who Had Been Patient In Seeking The Face & Countenance Of Allah (SWT); Establish Daily Salawat; Spend From What Allah (SWT) Has Provided For Them Secretly & Publicly, Preventing Evil With Good. Those Shall Receive The Breed & Progeny Of The Outcome Of Future Residence (In Jannat Al Firdaws).
جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ ۖ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن كُلِّ بَابٍ.(23)
Gardens of perpetual residence; they will enter them with whoever were righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, (23).
Jannat Aden (Al Firdaws) The Pious Believers Will Enter With Whoever Were Righteous Amongst Their Parents, Spouses, And Their Offspring, While The Angels Enter To Them From All Gates Of Jannat Al Firdaws To Escort Them.
سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُم بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ ۚ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ.(24)
“Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home”(24).
The Angels Would Respond:” Peace Be Upon You (Those Being The Righteous & Pious Believers) For Your Patience & Endurance. And Thus Your Ultimate Home Shall Be At “Jannat Al Firdaws”.
وَالَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَ اللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ مِيثَاقِهِ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۙ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوءُ الدَّارِ.(25)
But those who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and spread corruption on earth – for them is the curse, and they will have the worst home (25).
And Those Believers Who Break Their Covenant, Agreement & Contract With Allah (SWT) Which He (SWT) Commanded To Join, Spreading Sin, Crime & Dishonesty Shall Have The Ultimate Imprecation & Curse Of Their Home In The Hereafter.
اللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ وَفَرِحُوا بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا مَتَاعٌ(26).
Allah extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. And they rejoice in the worldly life, while the worldly life is not, compared to the Hereafter, except [brief] enjoyment (26).
Allah (SWT) Spreads Livelihood & Sustenance To Whom He (SWT) Wishes And Limits It From Whom He Wills. And Humankind Are Happy & Excited In The Worldly Lifetime, While It Is Incomparable To The Hereafter (For The Pious Believers).
وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ مَنْ أَنَابَ.(27)
And those who disbelieved say, “Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?” Say, [O Muhammad], “Indeed, Allah leaves astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him] (27).
And Those Blasphemous Would Say:” If Only An Ayah Was Revealed To Him (Prophet Muhammad). Say Oh Muhammad:” Verily Allah (SWT) Leaves To Aberrance Those Whom He Wills And Guides Back To Him (SWT) Whoever Reverts Back To Him.
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ.(28)
Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured“(28).
For Those Believers Who Have Submitted To Allah (SWT), Their Hearts Are Assured & Reassured By The Remembrance Of Him (SWT). Undoubtedly, With The Remembrance Of Allah (SWT), Human Hearts Are Confident & Assured.
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ طُوبَىٰ لَهُمْ وَحُسْنُ مَآبٍ.(27)
Those who have believed and done righteous deeds – a good state is theirs and a good return (27).
Those Who Have Believed In Allah (SWT) And Performed Righteous Deeds In Their Worldly Lifetime, Then Blessed Is Their Return To Their Destiny, To Allah (SWT) And To Jannat Al Firdaws.
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ.(28)
Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured”(28).
Those Who Have Believed In Allah (SWT) & Their Hearts Are Attached, Assured And Convinced By The Remembrance Of Him (SWT). Then By The Remembrance Of Allah (SWT) Pious Believers Hearts Are Assured.
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ طُوبَىٰ لَهُمْ وَحُسْنُ مَآبٍ.(29)
Those who have believed and done righteous deeds – a good state is theirs and a good return (29).
Those Who Have Believed In Allah (SWT) & Performed Righteous Deeds In Their Worldly Lifetime, Then Blessed Is Their Return To Their Destiny, To Allah (SWT) And To Jannat Al Firdaws.
كَذَٰلِكَ أَرْسَلْنَاكَ فِي أُمَّةٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهَا أُمَمٌ لِّتَتْلُوَ عَلَيْهِمُ الَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ بِالرَّحْمَٰنِ ۚ قُلْ هُوَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ مَتَابِ.(30)
Thus have We sent you to a community before which [other] communities have passed on so you might recite to them that which We revealed to you, while they disbelieve in the Most Merciful. Say, “He is my Lord; there is no deity except Him. Upon Him I rely, and to Him is my return”(30).
And Thus We (SWT) Have Delivered You Oh Muhammad To Your Nation And To Nations Which Have Evolved (Before You) To Recite To Them What Has Been Revealed To You (From The Glorious Qur’an) Yet They Disbelieve in Allah (SWT) The Merciful. Respond Oh Prophet Of Allah By Saying:” Allah (SWT) Is My Lord And No Deity Exists Except He (SWT). Upon Him Is My Reliance & To Him Is My Reversion.
وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْآنًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتَىٰ ۗ بَل لِّلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ جَمِيعًا ۗ أَفَلَمْ يَيْأَسِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن لَّوْ يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ لَهَدَى النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا ۗ وَلَا يَزَالُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا تُصِيبُهُم بِمَا صَنَعُوا قَارِعَةٌ أَوْ تَحُلُّ قَرِيبًا مِّن دَارِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَ وَعْدُ للَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ(31).
And if there was any Qur’an by which the mountains would be removed or the earth would be broken apart or the dead would be made to speak, [it would be this Qur’an], but to Allah belongs the affair entirely. Then have those who believed not accepted that had Allah willed, He would have guided the people, all of them? And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity – or it will descend near their home – until there comes the promise of Allah. Indeed, Allah does not fail in [His] promise (31).
And If There Exists A Qur’an Through Which The Mountains Would Be Removed Or The Earth Brocken To Pieces Or The Dead Were To Be Made To Speak, Then It Would Be This “Glorious Qur’an” [Revealed To The Prophet Of Islam Muhammad]. However The Whole Matter Is In Allah (SWT)’s Power & Dominion. Then Have The Believers Not Accepted That Which Allah (SWT) Had Willed & Ordained? While Those Blasphemous Do Not Stop Being Struck By Disaster Or Catastrophe Near Their Dwelling, Until The Pledge & Commitment Of Allah (SWT) Arrives. Verily, Allah (SWT) Does Not Desert His Promise Or His Believers.
لَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَمْلَيْتُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ.(32)
And already were [other] messengers ridiculed before you, and I extended the time of those who disbelieved; then I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty (32).
And Thus Other Messengers Were Mocked & Ridiculed Before Your Message Oh Muhammad And So I (SWT) Prolonged The Livelihood Of The Blasphemous, Then I (SWT) Took Hold Of Them Suddenly & Forcibly With Severe Penalization.
أَفَمَنْ هُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ ۗ وَجَعَلُوا لِلَّهِ شُرَكَاءَ قُلْ سَمُّوهُمْ ۚ أَمْ تُنَبِّئُونَهُ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَم بِظَاهِرٍ مِّنَ الْقَوْلِ ۗ بَلْ زُيِّنَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مَكْرُهُمْ وَصُدُّوا عَنِ السَّبِيلِ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ.(33)
Then is He who is a maintainer of every soul, [knowing] what it has earned, [like any other]? But to Allah they have attributed partners. Say, “Name them. Or do you inform Him of that which He knows not upon the earth or of what is apparent of speech?” Rather, their [own] plan has been made attractive to those who disbelieve, and they have been averted from the way. And whomever Allah leaves astray – there will be for him no guide (33).
Is Allah (SWT) Not The Sustainer & Maintainer Of All Creation & All The Heavens & Earth? And To Allah (SWT) The Blasphemous Have Allocated Partners. Say:” Oh Muhammad, Name & Designate Them. Or Can You Inform Allah (SWT) That Of Which He Is Unaware? However, Their Personal Plan Has Been Averted From The Righteous Path. And So Whoever Allah (SWT) Leaves Astray Shall Have No Guidance.
لَّهُمْ عَذَابٌ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَشَقُّ ۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍ.(34)
For them will be punishment in the life of [this] world, and the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe. And they will not have from Allah any protector (34).
And So Whoever Allah (SWT) Leaves In Aberrance Shall Have Torment In This Worldly Lifetime. And Torment In Hereafter Is More Acute & Intense. With No Protection Or Custodian From Allah (SWT).
مَّثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ۖ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۖ أُكُلُهَا دَائِمٌ وَظِلُّهَا ۚ تِلْكَ عُقْبَى الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا ۖ وَّعُقْبَى الْكَافِرِينَ النَّارُ.(35)
The example of Paradise, which the righteous have been promised, is [that] beneath it rivers flow. Its fruit is lasting, and its shade. That is the consequence for the righteous, and the consequence for the disbelievers is the Fire (35).
The Paradigm Of Al Jannah Which The Righteous Of Humankind Have Been Promised, Is Described By Name In The Glorious Qur’an Many Times. The Rivers Flow Beneath Them. Its Fruits Are Everlasting As Well As Its Shade. That Being The Outcome & Culmination Of The Righteous. Whereas The Recompense Of The Blasphemous Is Hell Fire.
وَالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَمِنَ الْأَحْزَابِ مَن يُنكِرُ بَعْضَهُ ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَلَا أُشْرِكَ بِهِ ۚ إِلَيْهِ أَدْعُو وَإِلَيْهِ مَآبِ.(36)
And [the believers among] those to whom We have given the [previous] Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], but among the [opposing] factions are those who deny part of it. Say, “I have only been commanded to worship Allah and not associate [anything] with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return”(36).
The Righteous Of Humankind To Whom We (SWT) Have Revealed Passed Scriptures, Cheer & Rejoice At What Was Revealed To You Oh Muhammad In The Glorious Qur’an. However, There Are Factions Who Deny Part Of Your Message. Say Oh Muhammad, I Have Only Been Commanded [By Allah (SWT)] Not To Associate Any Deity With Him (SWT). To Him (SWT) I Invite All Believers & To Him Is My Reversion.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَاهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبِيًّا ۚ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَاءَهُم بَعْدَمَا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا وَاقٍ.(37)
And thus We have revealed it as an Arabic legislation. And if you should follow their inclinations after what has come to you of knowledge, you would not have against Allah any ally or any protector.
And Therefore We Have Revealed It As An Arabic Language Jurisprudence And If You Oh Muhammad Were To Follow Their Desires After What Has Been Revealed To You Of Knowledge From The Glorious Qur’an, You Oh Muhammad Would Not Have Against Allah Any Ally Or Protector.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً ۚ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِيَ بِآيَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۗ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ.(38)
And We have already sent messengers before you and assigned to them wives and descendants. And it was not for a messenger to come with a sign except by permission of Allah . For every term is a decree (38).
And Thus We (SWT) Delivered Before You Oh Muhammad, Messengers & With Wives & Offspring. And No Assigned Messenger Arrives With “Sign” Except By Permission Of Allah (SWT). For Every Term There Exists A Decree.
يَمْحُو اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ ۖ وَعِندَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ.(39)
Allah eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book (39).
Allah (SWT) Abolishes, Eradicates & Eliminates Whatever He (SWT) Wishes & Wills And With Him Exists The Mother Of The Book (The Glorious Qur’an).
وَإِن مَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِي نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَاغُ وَعَلَيْنَا الْحِسَابُ.(40)
And whether We show you part of what We promise them or take you in death, upon you is only the [duty of] notification, and upon Us is the account (40).
And If We (SWT) Show You Part Of What We Promise Them Or Take You By Natural Death, Then You Bare The Task Of Notifying And Upon Allah (SWT) Is The Assignment Of Reckoning.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا نَأْتِي الْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ.(41)
Have they not seen that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? And Allah decides; there is no adjuster of His decision. And He is swift in account (41).
Have They (The Natives Of Makkah) Not Seen How We (SWT) Proceed to Reduce The Land Of The Blasphemous Of Makkah From Its Boarders Inward, Exposing & Divulging It With Time To The Gradual Muslim Conquest & Defeat Of Makkah. It Is Allah (SWT) Who Holds The Decision With No Expeditor And He (SWT) Is Speedy In Rendering Accountability.
وَقَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلِلَّهِ الْمَكْرُ جَمِيعًا ۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الْكُفَّارُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ.(42)
And those before them had plotted, but to Allah belongs the plan entirely. He knows what every soul earns, and the disbelievers will know for whom is the final home (42).
And Those Who Are Cunning & Were Conspiring Before. Nevertheless, To Allah (SWT) Belongs the Possession Of All Conspiracy. He (SWT) Is Aware Of What Each Soul Acquires & Gains. The Blasphemous Shall Know For Whom Is The Ultimate Residence In The Hereafter.
وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَسْتَ مُرْسَلًا ۚ قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَمَنْ عِندَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتَابِ.(43)
And those who have disbelieved say, “You are not a messenger.” Say, [O Muhammad], “Sufficient is Allah as Witness between me and you, and [the witness of] whoever has knowledge of the Scripture.”(43).
And The Blasphemous Would Say: “You, Oh Muhammad Are Not A Messenger From Allah (SWT)”. Reply To Them:” Adequate, Appropriate & Sufficient Is Allah (SWT) As A Witness Between Me & You. For He (SWT) Knows The Truth Of His Message To The Prophet Muhammad & To All Muslims Who Follow Him, Believing In The Glorious Qur’an & All Previous Holy Scriptures.
