Chapter “NAAZI-‘AAT” – (Those who drag forth) - 79

‘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) 

وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا 1  وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا 2  وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا 3  فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا 4  فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا 5  يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ 6  تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ 7  قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ 8  أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ 9  يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ 10  أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً 11

1.  Wan-NAAZI-‘AATI  garqaa. 2.  Wan-naashitaati  nashtaa. 3.  Was-saabi-haati  sabhaa. 4.  Fas-saabiqaati  sabqaa. 5.  Fal-mudabbiraati  ‘amraa. 6.  Yawma  tarjufur-raajifah. 7.  Tatba-'u  har-Raadifah. 8.  Quluubuny-Yawma-‘izinw-waaji-fatun. 9.  ‘Absaaruhaa  khaashi-'ah. 10.  Yaquuluuna  ‘a’-innaa  la-marduuduuna  fil-haafirah. 11.  ‘A-‘izaa  kunnaa  'izaaman-nakhirah.

1. By those who drag forth to destruction, 2. By the meteors rushing, 3. By the lone stars floating, 4. By the angels hastening, 5. And those who govern the event, 6. On the day when the first trump resounds. 7. And the second follows it, 8. On that day hearts beat painfully 9. While eyes are downcast 10. (Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state 11. Even after we are crumbled bones?

It is commanded: When the mankind dies, the angels (peace be upon them) pull out his soul from his body. They pull the souls out of the disbelievers with violence by penetrating into their bodies, but the souls of the believers are removed slowly with ease. These angels glide and come down on the earth as they are swimming in the air, then they carry away the souls of the mankind rapidly and make arrangement for their reward or punishment as they are commanded. The mankind knows concerning his death, but he should meditate in such occurrences which happen at the time of death. He should consider that he will have to come back to life again after death on a Day when earthquakes will come on the earth continually, most of the hearts will begin to tremble and the eyes humbled. Why do the people not believe? They say: Will we indeed be returned to our former state of life even if we should be decayed bones?

Introduction of Chapter “Those who drag forth” - (79)

 

Introduction of “Those who drag forth” (L-3399)

Chapter “NAAZI-‘AAT” – (Those who drag forth) - 79

Number of this Chapter, according to order of Holy Qur’an, is Seventy Nine. It has two Sections. It was revealed during the primary times of stay at Makkah. The circumstances of the Day of Resurrection have been manifested in this Chapter too. And it has been described: The people, who are entangled in the matters of this world, will be trapped in the torment of the Doomsday after enduring the hardships of death. The Day of Resurrection will be established. At first this earth will be ruined by earthquakes consecutively. Then it will be recreated and the entire dead human beings will be brought back to life again and assembled in the Plain of Resurrection for accounting their personal worldly deeds. Allaah Almighty has appointed angels (peace be upon them) for giving death to the human beings and carrying them to their abodes by causing them to pass through the entire stages of life after death. And special angels (peace be upon them) have been appointed there for making arrangements of their reward and punishment according to their deeds.

The angels (peace be upon them) penetrate into the bodies of those who denied Allaah Almighty and chose this world only for engagement, pull their souls from their veins and nerves, because their souls are so much intimate of this life that those do not desire to come out from their bodies. But the souls of the believers and the righteous come out from their bodies as easily as a prisoner bird flies away as soon as the door of the cage is opened. The angels come for taking the souls of both kinds of people. After having control over the souls they glide in the air and reach the heaven and deliver them at their proper places. Then they make arrangements for their dwelling.

After that it is commanded: O people! Don’t forget the Hour when the earthquakes will come on the earth continually, your hearts will begin to beat and your eyes will be humbled. Alas! The people do not believe in it that they will be brought back to life again after death, but they ridicule and say: No one can come back to life after death when his bones also had been crumbled. Our sense does not accept it that we should give up the amusements of this world for enjoying the next life after death, and that we shall never die again. We do not believe in it that after passing this life in restrictions; we shall be brought back to life again, in which there will be dwelling with freedom and satisfaction forever. There is mention of Pharaoh for such people that he left the religion for the world. Think about him that how he was drowned and punished in this world! Can you not understand from it that every desire of the mankind cannot be fulfilled in the world? He tries to collect all luxurious things of the world but the death overcomes. What is difficult for Him in reproducing Who created the earth, the mountains, the plains, the heavens and made complete arrangement of the entire universe? If you will believe in the Day of Resurrection and do good works considering the reckoning of your worldly deeds, it will be better for you.

How should we live in the world?

 

How should we live in the world? (L-3398)

Chapter “NABA’” – (The Tidings) - 78

We have come to know from this Chapter that there are some such matters which cannot be understood by the sense of the mankind. If someone begins to think into them, he will find such result; to which it is not necessary that others will agree also. Accordingly others will find out other results separately. Then all people will support to those who will agree to them. In this way, the people will be divided in different religious thoughts. The object of Holy Qur’an is to produce a concept of such things which may be acceptable to all without disputing. And by this, being agreeable to all, entire people begin to do such works which must be useful for all mankind. Most important thing is the aim of the human life that why the mankind has been sent in this world and which works he should do here. If every mankind is left on individual understanding, then every person who thinks will determine the aim of life separate from others.

Accordingly we see the thinkers, to whom we say philosophers, have answered this question separately from one another (that what is the aim of human life?). The followers of every philosopher accept own philosopher’s theory and mould their lives according to his thoughts. Holy Qur’an described: It is the only aim of this life that every individual should try to correct his that life which will be after death. The life of this world is only for a few days, and the life after death will be perpetual, never ending.

It has been described in this Chapter that for keeping the life of this world up for a long time, pairs of male and female were made for maintaining the chain of birth. Then it was arranged to rain water from the sky by which grains, fruits, vegetables and water springs were produced for management of mankind’s food and fulfilling other requirements. Days and nights were made for determining the times of mankind’s working and rest. Understand from it that Allaah Almighty has created all such things for you and every mankind has right to reap advantage from them. Therefore, none should prevent any other from reaping advantage from them, but everyone should help one another in this matter, so that every individual may gain chance of correcting and facilitating own future life. It is incumbent that you must not cross the rights of any other, your object must not be the luxurious enjoyment of this life only, you must not decide here that who is right and who is wrong. Correct your faiths all together according to Holy Qur’an and support one another in good works. The decision that “who is right and who is wrong” will be on the Day of Judgement. Then entire System will be disorganised. Every mankind’s entire deeds, which he did in the life of this world, will be produced before them. At that Time they will be treated as it has been mentioned in Holy Qur’an clearly.

What does the Chapter 78 teach us?

 

What does this Chapter teach us? (L-3397)

Chapter “NABA’” – (The Tidings) - 78

Having faith in three things is compulsory in Islam. As much as the faith in them will be perfect, so much belief will be perfect and the believer will achieve success of the both Worlds. Such three things are:

·       Allaah (God) is One.

·       Muhammad is His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), upon whom Holy Qur’an is revealed.

·       The Day of Resurrection is unavoidable, that is to say, the entire mankind will be brought back to life again after death on that Day, and reward or punishment will be given to everyone according to personal deeds.

Holy Qur’an describes the same that you must accept these things verbally, have faith in them heartily and act upon the commandments of Qur’an. Having faith in them is “Belief” and only those good deeds will be useful for the mankind which he will do along with Belief. Accordingly, in those Chapters of Holy Qur’an which were revealed in Makkah, the same has been explained in different ways, so that these may be well impressed upon mind. And when Belief in them becomes strong then practical life should begin. Worship of Allaah Almighty is very incumbent for strengthening the Belief. Therefore, “the Prayer” was prescribed with effect from the beginning for the same purpose, although it was perfected in due course of time. Then all forms of worship were determined after reaching Madinah.

There is explanation concerning the Day of Resurrection in this Chapter and it has been described: Think for getting rid of the calamities of that Day by following those commandments which have been mentioned in Holy Qur’an. It is known from this Chapter that arguing concerning the Day of Resurrection and trying to understand its reality by inquiring intellectually is not only useless but harmful also, because the mankind cannot do such works by being entangled in it which may save from calamities and troubles of that Day. So believe in that which has been described in Holy Qur’an, meditate on the facilities and blessings bestowed by Allaah Almighty in the life of this world and try to acquire His pleasure, so that you may be saved from the Doom of the Doomsday. The only purpose of this world’s life is to get ready for the Day of Judgement. Don’t be involved in deciding here that “who is right and who is wrong”. All disputes are produced from the same which are not of use for the mankind. Do not try to get entire blessings of the world for yourselves only. All living creatures have right into them according to their requirements. Instead of being entangled in earning wealth, honour and renown of the world, every mankind must pay full attention to worship Allaah Almighty, act upon His Commands and think for escaping from wicked deeds.

This all will happen in the Hereafter

 

This all will happen in the Hereafter (L-3396)

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا 38  ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا 39  إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا 40

38.  Yawma  yaquumur-Ruuhu  wal-malaaa-‘ikatu  saf-faa,  laa  yata-kallamuuna  ‘illaa  man  ‘azina  lahur-Rahmaanu  wa qaala  sawaabaa. 39.  Zaalikal  Yawmul-Haqq.  Faman  shaaa-‘attakhaza  ‘illaa  Rabbihii  ma-‘aabaa. 40.  ‘InNaa  ‘anzarNaakum  ‘Azaaban  qariibaa. Yawma yanzurul-mar-‘u  maa qaddamat  yadaahu  wa  yaquulul-kaafiru  yaa  laytanii kuntu  turaabaa. (section 2/2)

38. On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent allows and who speaks right. 39. That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord. 40. Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will cry: "Would that I were dust!"

It is commanded: Reward of good deeds which a mankind did in the world; will be given to him, whereas chaste spirits and angels (peace be upon them) will be standing in the Court of Allaah Almighty; drawn up in lines and rows. They will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful will command and permit. And he will say what is correct and suitable. Anyone’s tongue will not be able to speak before Him. Only that person will be able to intercede for any other who will be permitted by Him.

After that it is commanded: Surely the Day of Resurrection is unavoidable which cannot be put off. On that Day only those people will be delivered from distress and grief; who would have pleased Allaah Almighty in the world and gotten ready every time to abide by His Command. Today, every mankind has opportunity in this life that he can make his abode near Allaah Almighty on the Day of Resurrection by worshipping Him.

It is commanded: We have sent Our last Word by means of Our last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) for frightening every individual that the death is very close, as soon as any wrongdoer will die, will suffer from the Doom and on the Day of Judgement he will be tormented very severely. On that Day, deniers of Allaah Almighty will desire: Would that they were dust, so that they could be saved from calamities of that Day.

The End of those who fear Allah

 

The End of those who fear Allah (L-3395)

) إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا 31  حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًا 32  وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا 33  وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا 34  لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا 35  جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا 36  رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا 37

31.  ‘Inna  lil-Muttaqiina  mafaazaa. 32.  Hadaa-‘iqa  wa ‘a'-naabaa. 33.  Wa  kaawaa-'iba  ‘atraabaa. 34.  Wa  ka'-san  dihaaqaa. 35.  Laa  yasma-'uuna  fiihaa  lagwamw-wa  laa  kizzaabaa. 36.  Jazaaa-‘am-mir-Rabbika  ‘ataaa-‘an  hisaabaa. 37.  Rabbis-samaa-waati  wal-‘arzi  wa  maa  bayna-humar-Rahmaani  laa  yam-likuuna  minhu  khitaabaa.

31. Lo! for the duteous is achievement - 32. Gardens enclosed and vineyards, 33. And maidens for companions, 34. And a full cup. 35. There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying - 36. Requital from your Lord - a gift in payment - 37. Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse.

After describing the consequence of those who disbelieved in Allaah Almighty, now there is mention of reward for those who avoided wrong deeds in the world due to fear of Allaah Almighty. It is commanded: The people who believe in Allaah Almighty and obey His Commandments during their worldly life, they will be successful on the Day of Resurrection. They will find there everything for fulfilling their natural desires. Tasty fruits for eating, young women for satisfaction of their sensual desires and bowls filled with pure wine will be ready for them. They will dwell in the Paradise forever, without hearing absurd talks. Neither there will be any liar and nor any deceiver. Allaah Almighty, Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all such things which are between them, will give them full reward of their righteous deeds. He is the Most Merciful. There is none who may have authority to speak before Him.
