What did we learn from this Chapter? (L-3044)

It has been proclaimed in this Chapter that Allaah has sent this Book (Holy Qur’an) for the guidance of human beings, Who is the Exalted in Might and the Knower of the entire Truth. Know Him by observing the heavens, the earth and all things between them, and hear! He has created all such things for a particular purpose and this God’s Work will run for a stipulated term. After that, it will be perished and the mankind will be brought back to life again in a new environment. The Day of Resurrection will be established, in which those people will be in worst condition who disbelieve in Allaah Almighty, His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and Holy Qur’an. Presently most of the people are careless from this warning. They have made and chosen different kinds of gods; leaving Allaah Almighty.

Say to them: Your self-invented gods have not participated in the creation of this world. Neither any heavenly Book and nor any pertinent relater has described that there are some more gods except Allaah Almighty. The people who call such gods which neither hear voice and nor can fulfill anyone’s any requirement, they are very astray. These false gods will be their enemies on the Day of Resurrection and will say: You did not adore us, but if did, acted fruitlessly. Alas! The people hear Holy Qur’an and then say that it is self-invented word, (Let us flee to God) invented by Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) himself and said that it is sent by Allaah.

O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): Say to them! Take work from your senses. If I had done so, neither you could save me from the punishment of Allaah Almighty and nor someone else. I say nothing myself and nor I am only one Messenger. I am also a Messenger like those who passed away before me. I myself know nothing. I know and say only that which is revealed to me and I warn you, according to that, from bad consequences. Scholars of the Children of Israel have recognized me that I am the last Messenger, promise concerning whose arrival exists in old Scriptures and many of them have believed. If even then you don’t believe then you are very stubborn.

When they have decided that they would not embrace Islam, then they will be in search of different false excuses for denying. But it is fact that after Torah, Holy Qur’an has been descended in Arabic language for guidance of the people. Clear way of Islam has been opened in it and commanded: They will get rid of fear and grief who will believe that Allaah is their Lord, and stand firm on it. And those who will not believe; will repent and grieve. Those are lucky who pay the rights of Allaah Almighty and parents. They pray before Allaah Almighty for acquiring power of doing good works. Those are unlucky who do not believe in Allaah Almighty and when their parents cause them to understand; they behave with them harshly. Such people are included among the people good-for-nothing who reject the Religion of Allaah Almighty and choose a separate way for themselves. These are great losers and they will get nothing on the Day of Resurrection but the Doom of the Hell.

After that, by describing the circumstances of the folk of Aad, it is warned that they were more powerful than you, but were tormented. Then there is mention of Qur’an’s impression on the Jinn, and it has been caused to understand: Believe in Allaah Almighty and consider that the Day of Resurrection is inevitable, otherwise you will be punished. This is the Message of Qur’an. That will be ruined who will deny.

Be patient!

Be patient! (L-3043)

فَٱصْبِرْ كَمَا صَبَرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعَزْمِ مِنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِل لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ مَا يُوعَدُونَ لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّن نَّهَارٍۭ بَلَٰغٌ فَهَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ 35

35.  Fasbir  kamaa  sabara  ‘ulul-'azmi  minar-Rusuli  wa  laa  tasta'-jil-lahum.  Ka-‘annahum  Yawma  yarawna  maa  yuu-'aduuna,  lam  yalbasuuu  ‘illaa  saa-'atam-min-nahaar.  Balaag.  Fahal- yuhlaku   ‘illal-qawmul- faasiquun.   (Section 4/4) (Part One Fourth)

35. Then have patience (O Muhammad) even as the stout of heart among the messengers (of old) had patience, and seek not to hasten on (the doom) for them. On the day when they see that which they are promised (it will seem to them) as though they had tarried but an hour of daylight. A clear message. Shall any be destroyed save evil-living folk?

If the human beings use their senses and understanding correctly which has been given to them, they can understand well three things easily:

1.   They will come to know after looking the sky and the earth that certainly there exists Someone Who created them and Who has Divine Power. And then after observing a regular system of the world, they will understand that He is the same One Who established it. There is none who may oppose Him, and that He is Allaah.

2.   It is incumbent for saving the mankind from going astray and showing him the Straight Path that Allaah Almighty must appoint His Messengers (peace be upon them) from time to time. Accordingly the chain of the Messengers is inevitable.

3.   Desires and longings of the mankind are more than the extent of this world. Therefore, another life is required for this purpose, for fulfilling their desires.

After that, Holy Qur’an will guide him and inform that Allaah is One, Muhammad is His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), the Day of Resurrection is True, wicked people and wrongdoers can be punished in this world also for keeping up its system, otherwise they will be punished surely at full scale on the Day of Resurrection. After describing this all, it is being described to the Muslims by addressing the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): While these matters have been proved by Holy Qur’an and your senses, then you must also be patient like the courageous Prophets (peace be upon them) before you, who obeyed always the Commands of Allaah Almighty. Like them, you also must not be confused due to mischief of the disbelievers. Don’t hasten in their matter and leave it on your Lord! When they will be punished; then being confused they will consider that rest and respite of the world was equal to only one hour; which passed very soon and put them in calamity.

It is commanded: We gave a Message to them and entire human beings. Now they will have to be punished who did not act upon That Message, that is to say, the Commandments of Holy Qur’an and lived in the world as the disobedient.

Day of Resurrection is Inevitable

 

Day of Resurrection is Inevitable (L-3042)

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْىَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ 33  وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ أَلَيْسَ هَٰذَا بِٱلْحَقِّ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّنَا قَالَ فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ 34

33.  ‘Awa  lam  yaraw ‘annAllaahal-lazii  khalaqas-samaawaati  wal-‘arza  wa  lam  ya'-ya  bi-khalqihinna  bi-Qaadirin  'alaaa  ‘any-yuhyi-yal- mawtaa.  Balaaa  ‘innahuu  'alaa  kulli  shay-'in- Qadiir. 34.  Wa  Yawma  yu'-razul-laziina  kafaruu  'alan-Naar.  ‘A-laysa  haazaa  bil-Haqq.  Qaaluu  balaa  wa  Rabbinaa.  Qaala  fazuuqul- 'azaaba  bimaa  kuntum  takfuruun.

33. Have they not seen that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead? Aye, He verily is Able to do all things. 34. And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the Fire (they will be asked): Is not this real? They will say: Yea, by our Lord. He will say: Then taste the doom for that you disbelieved.

It was described in the previous verses that one group of the Jinn was influenced very much after hearing Holy Qur’an from the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). When they returned to their nation, they explained before the people of their nation and said: We heard Holy Qur’an and found that it was a true Book. So we all must act upon its commandments, otherwise we will have to suffer the severe punishment of disobedience on the Day of Resurrection.

In these verses it is being caused to understand: You are not worthless than those Jinn who believed in “the Day of Resurrection, reward and punishment of deeds”. You should form an opinion of God’s Divine Power by observing the heavens and the earth that what is difficult for Him Who created them and did not feel any tiredness in their creation; if He bring the dead to life again, reckon their accounts of deeds after reproducing the mankind, give reward to the righteous people and punish them who do wrong. If you cannot understand it yourselves, then you must obey the Commandments of Holy Qur’an. Allaah Almighty has made this decision that all human beings will be brought back to life again after death. It is not out of His Divine Power.

Moreover, listen to it also that those who disbelieved in Him, they will be exposed to the Fire of the Hell and it will be asked: Is this not the Hell which you used to deny? They will say: Yes, it is the Hell by our Lord. Then it will be commanded: Then taste the punishment because you used to disbelieve.

Message of the Jinn to their folk

 

Message of the Jinn to their folk (L-3041)

يَٰقَوْمَنَآ أَجِيبُوا۟ دَاعِىَ ٱللَّهِ وَءَامِنُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُجِرْكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ 31  وَمَن لَّا يُجِبْ دَاعِىَ ٱللَّهِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُعْجِزٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءُ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ 32

31.  Yaa-qawmanaaa  ‘ajeebuu  daa-'iyAllaahi  wa  ‘aaminuu  bihii  yaghfir  lakum-min  zunuubikum  wa  yujirkum-min  'Azaabin ‘aliim. 32.  Wa  mal-laa  yujib  Daa-'iyAllaahi  falaysa  bimu'-jizin-  fil-‘arzi  wa  laysa  lahuu  min- duuniHiii  ‘awliyaaa'  Uaaa-‘ika fii  zalaalim-mubiin.

31. O our people! Respond to Allah's summoner and believe in Him. He will forgive you some of your sins and guard you from a painful doom. 32. And whoso responds not to Allah's summoner he can nowise escape in the earth, and he has no protecting friends instead of Him. Such are in error manifest.

When that group of the Jinn went back to their nation after hearing Holy Qur’an from the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and being impressed from this Word, they said: O brothers! Recitation of Holy Qur’an has influenced upon us very much. We advise you that you must obey the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) who invites towards Allaah Almighty and believe that he is the Messenger of the Lord. Its result will be good. Allaah Almighty will forgive your previous wicked deeds and will save you from the painful doom of the Day of Resurrection. We are helpless without it. Where would you go if you disbelieved in it? He will seize you in all conditions and you will not be able to save yourselves. There is none who may help you against Allaah Almighty. You can be saved only by His Mercy.

Bear in mind! Their deviation is quite open and clear who do not believe in Allaah Almighty. Only He is the Most Powerful and you can put your full trust in Him.

Belief of the Jinn in Qur’an

 

Belief of the Jinn in Qur’an (L-3040)

وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَآ إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنصِتُوا۟ فَلَمَّا قُضِىَ وَلَّوْا۟ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ 29  قَالُوا۟ يَٰقَوْمَنَآ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا كِتَٰبًا أُنزِلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلْحَقِّ وَإِلَىٰ طَرِيقٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ 30

29.  Wa  ‘iz sarafNaaa  ‘ilayka  nafaram-minal-Jinni  yastami-'uunal- Qur’aan.  Falammaa  hazaruuhu  qaaluuu  ‘ansituu.  Falammaa  quziya  wallaw  ‘ilaa  qawmihim-munziriin. 30.  Qaaluu  yaa- qawma-naaa  ‘innaa  sami'-naa  Kitaaban  ‘unzila  mim- ba'-di  Muusa  musaddiqal-limaa  bayna  yadayhi  yahdiii  ‘ilal- Haqqi  wa  ‘ilaa Tariiqim- Mustaqiim.

29. And when We inclined toward you (Muhammad) certain of the jinn, who wished to hear the Qur'an and, when they were in its presence, said: Give ear! And, when it was finished, turned back to their people, warning. 30. They said: O our people! Lo! We have heard a scripture which has been revealed after Moses, confirming that which was before it, guiding unto the truth and a right road.

Besides the mankind, another kind of people lives in the world who are called “the Jinn”. As the creation of the mankind is from the clay stained with water, like this creation of the Jinn is from the fire, and they can change their form as they desire. They cannot be seen with eyes in their actual form and hover here and there wherever they desire. Physically they are more powerful than the mankind, so they are more rebellious too than the mankind. Allaah Almighty had made them slaves of Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) and his obedient.

It is commanded: We directed a group of the jinn to you, who paid their attention to listen to the Qur`an. When they attended it, they said to one another, "Be silent and listen carefully to that what is being recited." When the recitation was over, they went back to their people and said, "O our people, indeed we have heard a recited Book, and we frighten you from the consequence of wrong deeds according to that Book. Torah was the heavenly Book, revealed to Moses (peace be upon him), which was acceptable for all. Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) also taught the Commandments of Torah. Today, we heard a new Book which confirms that what was before it and that all Books sent by Allaah Almighty were true. This Book (Qur’an) has been sent now for clarification of the same Path. It guides to the truth.

No Protecting Friend but Allah

 

No Protecting Friend but Allah (L-3039)

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا مَا حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَصَرَّفْنَا ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ 27  فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ قُرْبَانًا ءَالِهَةًۢ بَلْ ضَلُّوا۟ عَنْهُمْ وَذَٰلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ 28

27.  Wa  laqad ‘ahlakNaa  maa  hawlakum-minal-quraa  wa  sarrafNal-‘Aayaati  la-'allahum  yarji-'uun. 28.  Falaw-laa  nasara-humul-laziinat-takhazuu  min  duuNillaahi  qurbaanan   ‘aalihah.  Bal  zalluu  'anhum.  Wa  zaalika  ‘ifkuhum  wa  maa  kaanuu  yaftaruun.

27. And verily We have destroyed townships round about you, and displayed (for them) Our revelation, that haply they might return. 28. Then why did those whom they had chosen for gods as a way of approach (unto Allah) not help them? Nay, but they did fail them utterly. And (all) that was their lie, and what they used to invent.

It is being described to the people of Makkah that the consequence of disbelieving in Allaah Almighty and disobeying His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is nothing but destruction. Behold that what happened with the refractory people before you.

After causing the circumstances of the folk of Aad to hear, it is being commanded in these verses: Besides them, there were some other townships around you, for example, the folks of Thamud and Lot (peace be upon him) etc. Reason of their destruction was also the same. Their inhabitants did according to their wills and disobeyed the Prophets of Allaah Almighty (peace be upon them). You see their ruins during your journeys. We caused them to understand in various ways; so that they must know the Truth, give up wrong deeds and choose the Straight Path. But they did not care, disobeyed Our Prophets (peace be upon them), asked others for a boon instead of Allaah Almighty and made all sorts of excuses for adoring idols, that is to say, “the Court of Allaah is very high, how can we reach Him, our idols bring us closer to Allaah, and make us higher in ranks with Him, otherwise where are we and where is the Master of all?”.

It is commanded: Why did their so-called gods help them not when Our torment came upon them due to their obstinacy and insurrection? They had to call them for help to save them from the torment and for removing their troubles. Where had they (gods) gone after looking the idolaters seized in torment, to whom the idolaters used to consider their intercessors in the Court of Allaah Almighty? They had to help them and save, but they could do nothing.

It turned out that adoring the idols (so-called gods) and having any hope from them is only a lie, wrong and self-invented matter.
