Sovereignty is of God (L-3298)

Chapter “MULK” – (The Sovereignty) - 67

‘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)

تَبَٰرَكَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ 1  ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلْحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفُورُ 2  ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا مَّا تَرَىٰ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مِن تَفَٰوُتٍ فَٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍ 3

1.  TABAARAKALLAZII  bi-YadiHil-MULK; Wa Huwa  'alaa  kulli  shay-‘in  Qadiir. 2.  Allazii  khalaqal-Mawta  wal-Hayaata  li-yabluwakum  ‘ayyukum  ‘ahsanu  'amalaa.  Wa  Huwal-'Aziizul-Gafuur. 3.  ‘Allazii  khalaqa  sab-'a  samaawaatin-  tibaaqaa.  Maa  taraa  fii  khalqir-Rahmaani  min-  tafaawut.  Farji-'il-basara,  hal  taraa  min- futuur.

1. Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things. 2. Who has created life and death that He may try you which of you is best in conduct; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving, 3. Who has created seven heavens in harmony. You (Muhammad) can see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation; then look again: Can you see any rifts?

There are two such kinds of people among the human beings:

1.   Those who do not have belief in Allaah Almighty, they are deniers and disbelievers.

2.   Those who say themselves Muslims, but they do not understand Allaah Almighty correctly as they have to understand. Its result is polytheism (belief in a plurality of God).

Islam says at first to the people, “Believe in Allaah Almighty, otherwise you will regret. Correct your thoughts concerning your Lord”.

Therefore, it is commanded: Your Lord is One, Allaah. In His Hand is the Dominion. He is the Blessed, that is to say, all excellences are of His Own; which can never be decreased, but those increase automatically. He can do whatsoever He desires to do. He is over all things Competent. He is Who gave you life and created death. The aim of coming to life and going to death is to test you as to which of you is best in deed and whose deeds are bad. He is the Exalted in Might and the Forgiving. Allaah Almighty created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So you must return your vision to the sky; you will find in it no breaks.

Introduction of Chapter “MULK” – (The Sovereignty) - 67

 

PART TWENTY NINE (29)

Introduction of “The Sovereignty” (L-3297)

Chapter “MULK” – (The Sovereignty) - 67

In order, this is sixty-seventh Chapter of Holy Qur’an. It was revealed in the middle times of stay at Makkah. Those people have been instructed in this Chapter who used to take the name of Allaah, but did not believe in Him as they had to believe. They have been commanded: Believe in Allaah Almighty in such a way that His virtues have been springing from within Himself without interference of any other external thing. He is the Sovereign of the entire universe. All forces and powers are in His possession. He can do whatsoever He desires to do. Entire creatures are created by Him. His Divine Power is apparent everywhere. He is the Creator of seven heavens which have been spreading together one over one in layers. He created everything according to prescribed ways and rules. Everything exists at its proper suitable place and has been performing its duty properly. As much you will observe His creatures thoughtfully, so much your astonishment will increase. You will be tired of looking them but His Wonders will never go to an end. The sky glitters with stars. It seems that some bright broken things have been running here and there. These are balls of fire, which are thrown on the Devils for repelling them, so that they may not spread wrong news in the world. The Hell has been prepared for such devils, and those will be cast into it also who disbelieve in Allaah Almighty. They will lose their senses after looking roar and anger of the Hell.

The angels (peace be upon them) will ask from them: Did the Prophets (peace be upon them) not come for frightening you from this Fire that you have been brought here Today for throwing into it? They will say: The Warners came to frighten us but we did not care, and considered that they were liars. They will accept their obstinacy and say: If we had used our senses, understood it and obeyed the Prophets (peace be upon them), then we would have not been entangled Today in this misfortune.

Opposite to them, the Believers who used to fear Allaah Almighty and do righteous works; will be in peace and ease. Great reward will be given to them because they believed in Allaah Almighty and His Messengers (peace be upon them) and believed in such things which were not visible to them.

Then it has been advised to the mankind that they must fear Allaah Almighty and be hopeful of His Mercy. He punished severely in the world to those who disbelieved. None can get deliverance without having belief in Him. Think for awhile! A mankind is going straight forward, while the other is going groping on his face, can those both be equal? No, not at all. Therefore you must obey Allaah Almighty, His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and believe in the Day of Resurrection. It is the only Way of Salvation.

Review of Chapter - 66 “Banning”

 

Review of Chapter “Banning” (L-3296)

Chapter “TAHRIIM” – (Banning) - 66

In this Chapter, it has been instructed to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): Although the men should adopt good behavior with their wives, even they should keep in mind when they divorce, that their wives must not have any trouble or grief. Even then it is not good to regard them so much that for the sake of them you make the lawful things unlawful for yourselves. If you did so then wives of other people will not let their husbands live in peace. When any husband will ignore fulfilling their desires, they will give reference of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) immediately and compel them.

Therefore, O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): You should avoid unreasonable warm reception of your wives. You must break such oath which you swore for pleasing any wife that “you will not use honey or you will not meet any of your wives meeting with whom is lawful for you according to Religious Law”, and pay its expiation. Do not make unlawful in future, for pleasing any wife, which is lawful for you. So the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) obeyed the Command of Allaah Almighty.

In the same Chapter, it has been instructed to the chaste wives (May Allaah be pleased with them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): You must not reap improper advantage from his soft nature and politeness. The Messenger will not fulfill your unlawful demands in future. Repent from molesting him, otherwise if he divorced you, Allaah Almighty; Gabriel (peace be upon him) and all righteous people will support him, and other wives will be provided to him in lieu of you, who will have such qualities which must be in righteous women. Habits of righteous women have been described that whether those are widows or virgins, they are believers, repentant, obedient of their elders and husbands, and they remain engaged in the worship of Allaah Almighty.

After that it has been instructed to Muslim men and women that they should follow the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) step by step. The men are instructed: After making good arrangements for living in the world, it is also your responsibility that you should save the members of your family from the Hell, which cannot be possible without abiding by the Rules and Regulations of the Religion. The disobedient, idolaters and their idols will be fuel of the Hell, and no excuse will be acceptable from them on the Day of Judgement. Muslim men and women must be very careful. Reward of abiding by the Commands of the Religion will be that they will be admitted perpetually in beautiful and green Gardens during the life after death.

Example of the disbelieving women is as the wives of Noah and Lot (peace be upon them). And the example of believing women is as Asiah, the wife of Pharaoh and Mary, the mother of Jesus (peace be upon him). We should understand the Commands mentioned in this Chapter and think: Is the conduct of today’s freedom-loving women according to these commandments?

Condition and consequence of the Good

 

Condition and consequence of the Good (L-3295)

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱمْرَأَتَ فِرْعَوْنَ إِذْ قَالَتْ رَبِّ ٱبْنِ لِى عِندَكَ بَيْتًا فِى ٱلْجَنَّةِ وَنَجِّنِى مِن فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَمَلِهِۦ وَنَجِّنِى مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ 11  وَمَرْيَمَ ٱبْنَتَ عِمْرَٰنَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَٰتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْقَٰنِتِينَ 12

11.  Wa  zarabAllaahu  masalal-lil-leziina  ‘aama-numra-‘ata  Fi'awn.  ‘Iz  qaalat Rabbibni  lii  'indaKa  baytan fil-Jannati  wa najjinii  min- Fir-‘awna  wa  'amalihii  wa  najjinii  minal- qawmiz- zaalimiin. 12.  Wa  Maryamab-nata  'Imraanal-latiii  ‘ahsanat  farjahaa  fanafakhNaa  fiihi  mir-RuuhiNaa  wa  saddaqat  bi-Kalimaati  Rabbihaa  wa  Kutubihii  wa  kaanat  minal- Qaanitiin. (Section 2/20)

11. And Allah cites an example for those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh when she said: My Lord! Build for me a home with you in the Garden, and deliver me from Pharaoh and his work, and deliver me from evil-doing folk; 12. And Mary, daughter of 'Imran, whose body was chaste, therefor We breathed therein something of Our Spirit. And she put faith in the words of her Lord and His scriptures, and was of the obedient.

It is commanded: Allaah Almighty described the circumstances of the wives of Pharaoh (‘Asiah daughter of Mazaaham) and Mary daughter of Imran.

Asiah brought up Moses (peace be upon him) in front of Pharaoh. She afterwards remained follower of Moses (peace be upon him) and abstained from Pharaoh’s evil deeds. When Pharaoh knew, he molested her very much and then killed. She used to pray: My Lord, save me from Pharaoh and his deeds and save me from the wrongdoing people, build for me near You a house in Paradise! At last, Allaah Almighty accepted her supplication. She was martyred and reached Paradise near her Lord.

Mary was the daughter of `Imran. She (May Allaah be pleased with her) used to remain engaged in the worship of Allaah Almighty. Neither she was married and nor she ever committed any sin or evil, but she guarded her chastity. So Allaah Almighty sent His chosen angel Gabriel (peace be upon him), who blew into the opening of her garment, by which she became pregnant and Jesus (peace be upon him) was born from her. She believed in the Words of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient. Allaah Almighty will bestow her great reward on the Day of Resurrection.

Treatment and the end of the mischievous

 

Treatment and the end of the mischievous (L-3294)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ جَٰهِدِ ٱلْكُفَّارَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَٱغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ 9  ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ٱمْرَأَتَ نُوحٍ وَٱمْرَأَتَ لُوطٍ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَٰلِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْهُمَا مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا وَقِيلَ ٱدْخُلَا ٱلنَّارَ مَعَ ٱلدَّٰخِلِينَ 10

9.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhan-Nabiyyu  jaahidil- kuffaara  wal-Munaa-fiqiina  wagluz  'alay-him.  Wa  ma'-waahum  Jahannam.  Wa  bi'-sal- masiir. 10.  ZarabAllaahu  masalal-lillaziina  Kafarum-ra-‘ata Nuuhinw- wamra-‘ata Luut.  Kaanataa  tahta  'abdayni  min  'ibaadiNaa  Saalihayni  fa-khaanataa-humaa  falam  yugniyaa  'anhumaa  minAllaahi  shay-‘anw-wa  qiilad-khulan-Naara  ma-'ad-Daakhiliin.

9. O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's end. 10. Allah cites an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot, who were under two of Our righteous slaves yet betrayed them so that they (the husbands) availed them naught against Allah and it was said (unto them): Enter the Fire along with those who enter.

First verse from the above verses has passed in Suratut-Tawbah (Chapter 9). Again it is being reminded: Strive against them who desire to spread disturbance in the world. They are of two kinds – firstly, those who disbelieve in Allaah Almighty openly, while He is the Greatest Source of Justice, and they say, “Only we are who can do whatever we desire. There is none who may ask from us”. Such people are mortal enemies of safety and peace. Fight and finish them if they do not admit directly, otherwise they will not let others live in peace.

Secondly, the people who are among you apparently but secretly they are inclined to harm you every time. Be careful from their flattering, even when it is proved lawfully that they are hypocrites, then punish them severely!

After that, for manifesting the condition of the enemies of Islam, an example of the wives of Noah and Lot (peace be upon them) has been presented. They were living apparently in the houses of Our two Righteous Servants but in fact they were agents of the enemies of the Prophets, so those prophets could not save them from the wrath of Allaah when disasters came upon the disobedient. Wives of the both Prophets (peace be upon them) were ruined in the world along with the disobedient people, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will be cast into the Fire along with other hellish people.

Repent with sincere repentance

 

Repent with sincere repentance (L-3293)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوحًا عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُكَفِّرَ عَنكُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنَّٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ يَوْمَ لَا يُخْزِى ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِىَّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَىٰ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَٰنِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُورَنَا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَآ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ 8

8.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhal-laziina  ‘aamanuu  tuubuuu  ‘ilAllaahi  Tawbatan-Nasuuhaa.  'Asaa  Rabbukum  ‘any-yukaffira  'ankum  sayyi-‘aatikum  wa  yud-khilakum  Jannaatin-  tajrii  min  tahti-hal-‘anhaaru.Yawma  laa  yukhZillaahun-Nabiyya  wal-laziina  ‘aamanuu  ma-'ah.  Nuuruhum  yas-'aa  bayna  ‘aydiihim  wa  bi-‘aymaanihim  yaquuluuna  Rabbanaaa  ‘at-mim  lanaa  Nuuranaa  wag-fir  lanaa.  ‘InnaKa  'alaa  kulli  shay-'in  Qadiir.

8. O you who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us! Lo! You are Able to do all things.

It is commanded: A mankind may err any time, so the Believers must repent to Allaah Almighty regularly with sincere repentance. It is the way of their salvation. O Believers! It is hoped that due to sincere repentance; your Lord will remove from you your misdeeds and admit you into Gardens; beneath which rivers flow. Bear in mind!  On the Day of Resurrection, Allaah Almighty will not disgrace His Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and along with him those who believed. Their light will proceed before them and on their right; and they will say, "Our Lord! Perfect for us our light so that the darkness may not puzzle us, and forgive our sins and errors. Nothing is out of Your Divine Power. You are Able to do whatsoever You desire to do.

Found out from it is that the Muslims should repent every time to Allaah Almighty, so that their sins, errors and omissions may be forgiven and they may be sent to the Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. It is the way by which one can be saved from the Hell. We must never commit any such work, due to which we are included among the rejected.
