Behavior of disbelievers (L-2788)

Chapter “Saaad” - (Saad) – 38

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 

صٓ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ذِى ٱلذِّكْرِ 1   بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ 2   كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ 3

1.  SAAAD  Wal-Qur-‘aani  Ziz-Zikr. 2.  Balillaziina  kafaruu  fii  ‘izza-tinw-wa  shiqaaq. 3.  Kam  ‘ahlakNaa  min-  qablihim-  min-  qarnin-fanaadaw-wa  laata  hiina  manaas.

1. Saad. By the renowned Quran. 2. Those who disbelieve are steeped in arrogance and defiance. 3. How many generations have We destroyed before them? They cried out when it was too late to escape.

 ‘Izza-tun – (false pride, arrogance), this word has passed in Suratul-Baqarah. Here too it aims the same, that is to say, haughtiness, pride.

Shiqaaq – (to oppose, to quarrel, schism, dissension, defiance), this word has been derived from shaqqun, which means “to break, to tear, to rend.

Laata – (was not), this word is a negative as laysa.

Manaasun – (to be released, to be set free, to escape).

The people of Makkah were very confused after hearing the sayings of the Messenger of God Almighty; Muhammad (ﷺ), and began to oppose Holy Qur’an after observing that by its enormous thunder; weak home of their infidelity and belief in a plurality of God had been falling down.

It is commanded: There are only the words of advice and kindness for mankind in Holy Qur’an. Those matters have been reminded to the children of Adam in it which they have forgotten due to being entangled in sensual wishes.

The people who do not listen to the Commandments of Holy Qur’an carefully, its reason is that they are proud of their strength and power. And they do not desire that someone else should get superiority against them and they have to follow them. Therefore, they get ready to fight against the adviser. Cause them to hear: We have destroyed many such refractory groups before them. When they fell in then they began to cry and complain. But at that time it was useless. They had no time to be saved from the torment.

Introduction of Chapter “Saaad”

 

Introduction of thirty eighth Chapter (L-2787)

Depending on the configuration, this is 38th Chapter of Holy Qur’an. It was revealed in the beginning of middle time of stay at Makkah. At that time, the Infidels of Makkah had gripped up their loins to trouble the Messenger of God (ﷺ) so that he must give up any way the preaching of Islam. He (ﷺ) was in the patronage of his uncle Abu Talib at that time. He invited him again and again that he should embrace Islam and leave the religion of Idolaters, so that he might be saved from the torment of the Doomsday. But the uncle did not get ready to give up the religion of his folk. Moreover, the Idolaters put their pressure on him that either he should prevent his Nephew {Muhammad (ﷺ)} from the scorn of idols or hand him over to them.

In the primary verses of Holy Qur’an, the Infidels have been frightened from the wrath of God Almighty due to their obstinacy and it has been said to them: Talking against Islam is entirely ignorance. Those nations before you were destroyed which falsified the Prophets of God Almighty (Peace be upon them). His Wrath descended upon them.

Then it is commanded to the last Messenger (ﷺ): These are ignorant people. Endure their sayings of ignorance with patience. After that, there is mention of Prophet David (Peace be upon him). God Almighty helped him, bestowed victory upon his foes and he became a King of the entire Country. After him, his son Solomon (Peace be upon him) also became King and he used to carry out orders of God Almighty. He passed the test in which he was examined. God Almighty bestowed him a great Empire and in retribution of obedience; he became lucky in the Hereafter too.

After that, there is mention of Prophet Job (Peace be upon him) that; in afflictions he remained patient and hopeful of God’s Mercy. Eventually God Almighty bestowed him salvation and prosperity also in the world. And He will exalt him on the Day of Resurrection also by His Mercy.

After that, state of the Hellish people and condition of the Heavenly people has been explained in a very pleasant way. Then it has been caused to understand by describing the circumstances of Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him) that Satan is an enemy of him and his entire descendants forever. You should escape from his tricks. Advice of the Messenger (ﷺ) is unselfishly. You will regret if you will not care.

Summary of the Chapter 37

(L-2786)

In this Chapter, after drawing attention towards the management of the world, it has been described that by meditating in its arrangements, it appears that Command of God Almighty has been working in its every part. The mankind should bow before Him and worship only Him. One part of this management is it that He appointed His Prophets (Peace be upon them) for the guidance of human beings and sent His Scriptures in the world. That was based on fact which was caused to understand to the mankind by the Prophets (Peace be upon them) and that was entirely truth which was mentioned in the Inspirational Books that; when God Almighty will desire, He will send His last Prophet (ﷺ) along with a last Scripture for perfection of mankind’s guidance, in which all useful matters for the mankind will be explained. And special arrangements will be made for the safety of that Holy Book.

 Accordingly, when that time came, the Angels (Peace be upon them) lined up anew for listening to the commandments of God Almighty. They rebuked and drove away the evil spirits and began to recite and remember by heart the Word of God Almighty, so that it may be conveyed as it is; where it is required to be conveyed. They drove off the Devils by beating, so that there must remain no risk of amendment in those Commandments. Believe it that there can be no other God of you save One - God Almighty. Only He is the Supporter of the heavens and the earth, Owner of the East and the West. He is Who decorated the sky of the world with the stars. Those stars are also used for driving away the refractory devils. And burning stars are thrown behind that Devil who flies away with anything stealthily, which destroy or drive him off.

 O mankind: Give up haughtiness! You have been created from a drop of water. Why do you forget your reality? Remember it that you will be brought back to life again after death; you will be punished and thrown into the Fire of the Hell due to your wicked deeds or given reward of your good deeds and sent into the Garden. That Day of Resurrection will be the Day of Misfortunes for you. Evildoers will grieve and good doers will find ease and peace.

 After that, attractive sketch of the Paradise has been drawn and frightful scene of the Hell has been disclosed. After the mention of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Aaron, Elias, Lot and Jonah from some Prophets (Peace be upon them), it has been described that they all deserved the Mercy of God Almighty. Peace and salutations will be sent upon them always in the world. The people, who disobeyed them, were punished. So you must take warning from their circumstances. You should make neither daughters of God Almighty to the Angels; and nor His relatives to the Jinn. This is a great insolence. They all are slaves and obedient of God Almighty.

 Remember! At last Our Prophets (Peace be upon them) will be successful and their enemies will be ruined; not only in this world but in the Hereafter too. Listen! God (God Almighty) is free from all flaws. He is Owner of the entire excellences. His all Prophets (Peace be upon them) will always be in Peace.

The Punishment in the Hereafter

(L-2785)

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ 178   وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ 179   سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ 180   وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 181   وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 182

178.  Wa  tawalla  ‘anhum  hattaa  hiin. 179.  Wa  ‘absir  fasawfa yubsiruun. 180.  Subhaana  Rabbika  Rabbil-‘Izzati  ‘ammaa  yasifuun. 181.  Wa  Salaamun  ‘alal-mursaliin. 182.  Wal-Hamdu  Lillaahi  Rabbil-‘Aalamiin. (Section – 5/9)

178. So avoid them for a while. 179. And watch—they will soon see. 180. Exalted be your Lord, the Lord of Glory, beyond their allegations. 181. And peace be upon the messengers. 182. And praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds.

It was commanded earlier: These people will not find any good fruit by denying and turning away from Islam, the religion which has been prescribed by God Almighty for the mankind. Very soon they will be given severe punishment of their infidelity and denial. It was commanded to the Messenger (ﷺ): Say to them nothing presently and let them do whatever they wish to do. We have decided that at last Our Prophets (Peace be upon them) only will be successful. And eventually Our obedient and followers will overcome. These people are entirely ignorant if they make haste in demanding Our torment. When Our torment will come upon them then they will be confused very much.

 It was concerning the torment of the world. Therefore, the battles began after a few days, the disbelievers were destroyed and Islam got victory. The torment which has been mentioned again in these verses, that is a signal towards the torment of the Day of Resurrection, that is to say, besides destruction, disgrace and humiliation in the world, they will be punished severely after death too due to their wicked deeds. And if they died as disbelievers then besides the world, they will be suffering from severe afflictions on the Day of Judgment also.

 After that it is commanded: God Almighty is entirely above that whatever these people describe concerning Him because He is Glorified. His peace and blessings descend upon the Messengers. Praise be to Allaah, Who is Lord, Protector of the Universe and Provider of all necessary things to every necessitous.

Prediction of Punishment

Prediction of Punishment (L-2784)

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ 174   وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ 175   أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ 176   فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ 177

174.  Fatawalla  ‘anhum  hatta  hiin.  175.  Wa  ‘absirhum  fasawfa  yubsiruun.  176.  ‘A-fa-bi-‘azaabiNaa  yasta’-jiluun.  177.  Fa-‘izaa  nazala  bisaahatihim  fasaaa-‘a  sabaahul-munzariin.

174. So disregard them for a while. 175. And watch them—they will soon see. 176. Are they seeking to hasten Our punishment? 177. When it descends into their yard, miserable will be the morning of those forewarned.

It is commanded: These people do not use common sense. The matter is the same which We already have described. Consequence of denying God Almighty, His Messenger (ﷺ) and His Scripture will be very bad. O Our Prophet (ﷺ)! Leave them for a time and see without saying any word that what befalls them. Within a few days they will find result of their disobedience. Their airs will be useless. Our Messenger (ﷺ) and those who got ready for Our obedience, will get victory. Islam will prevail. Either its enemies will not be saved or if they are saved for some days then either eventually they will embrace Islam or they will be exiled. Alas! They did not rouse by such menace from ignorance. Possibly some of them would have said: Then what is delay in coming of torment. The mankind is very careless and proud more than enough. He brags and slights all others.

 It is commanded: Do they want Our punishment in a hurry? Say to them: When Our torment will descend on you suddenly; then you will be in worst condition. Those people do not care who are being threatened now.

 This prediction was fulfilled as it was informed. Some disbelievers were slain in the Battle of Badr. After that it was finalized in the Victory of Makkah.

Troops of God will be victors

Troops of God will be victors (L-2783)

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ 167   لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 168   لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 169   فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ 170   وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 171   إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ 172   وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ 173

167.  Wa  ‘in  kaanuu  la-yaquuluuna.  168.  Law  ‘anna  ‘indanaa  Zikram-minal-‘awwaliin.  169.  Lakunnaa  ‘IbaadAllaahil-mukhlasiin.  170.  Fakafaruu  bihii  fasawfa  ya’-lamuun.  171.  Wa  laqad  sabaqat  Kalimatu-Naa  li-‘IbaadiNal-mursaliin.  172.  ‘Innahum  lahumul-man-suuruun.  173.  Wa  ‘inna  jundaNaa  la-humul- gaalibuun.

167. Even though they used to say. 168. “Had we received advice from the ancients. 169. We would have been God's faithful servants.” 170. But they rejected it, so they will find out. 171. Our Word has already gone out to our servant messengers. 172. It is they who will be supported. 173. And Our troops will be the victors.

Now the state of the people of Makkah is being described. When they used to hear; the circumstances of ancient Prophets (Peace be upon them); from the Jews and the Christians, they used to say: Would that any Prophet had come to us along with any Scripture, we would have improved ourselves more than all other people of the world and become chosen slaves of God Almighty.

 It is commanded: The disbelievers used to say: if we had been informed about such good matters which were conveyed to ancient people, we would have obeyed the commandments of God Almighty and achieved good rewards like chosen slaves of God Almighty. But when Our Messenger (ﷺ) came among them along with explained circumstances of old people; then they denied. Now they will undergo punishment of their declining. We already have decided in favor of Our Prophets (Peace be upon them) that they will be successful and ultimately their enemies will lose. Honor and superiority will only be for them who will toil for Us and who will remain as Our obedient.
