Introduction of Chapter “TAGAABUN” - (Mutual Disillusion)

 

Introduction (L-3270)

Chapter “TAGAABUN” - (Mutual Disillusion) - 64

This is sixty-fourth Chapter of Holy Qur’an in order, which was revealed during the first year of Migration in Madinah. It has two Sections. It was the time when the Muslims were coming to Madinah, leaving their homes and families due to misconduct of the people of Makkah. Many people had been entangled in this trouble that their wealth, wives and children were in Makkah. On the other side their other relatives were pressurising them to leave Islam instead of leaving their houses etc. Some of them were those who were not able to carry their families along with themselves because they did not have conveyance and money for fulfilling their requirements in journey. Their children were asking that where were they going leaving the families behind. In short the Muslims had been suffering difficulties. Many people left their wives and children behind and emigrated, but some were thinking so far. In such circumstances this Chapter was revealed and made Islam famous. By describing the condition of difficulties after death, they were frightened.

It was commanded: Everything of the heavens and the earth has been glorifying Allaah Almighty. It is the reality that He is the Sovereign of the entire world and has all excellences. He is Who created the mankind. Some of the human beings believed in Him and some disbelieved entirely. Surprisingly, do the disbelievers not know the state of those people who were before them? They suffered great afflictions in the world due to denying Allaah Almighty, whereas they will have to undergo still the torment of the Doomsday. Prophets (peace be upon them) of Allaah Almighty came to them and produced clear signs of their Prophet-hood, but they said: How can we accept him a Guide for us who is a mankind like us. So they denied Allaah Almighty. He did not care. They were ruined within a moment.

These disbelievers say that the Hour will never come. Say to them: I swear of my Lord! The Day of Resurrection shall come and you will have to be punished due to your wicked deeds. If you desire your betterment, believe in Allaah Almighty, His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and clear verses of Holy Qur’an, otherwise you will be great losers on the Day of Judgment. On that Day, the righteous people will go to Paradise, but the evildoers will be thrown into the Hell.

O mankind! Allaah is Who sends afflictions. The believers understand its object but the disbelievers wander. Behold! Your wealth and children can be your enemies. Don’t leave any good work due to them. Those are for your trial. Spend your wealth on others for the cause of Allaah Almighty and consider that you have been lending Him, Who is a Great Beneficent and He will return your loan. In addition, he will give you more than enough by His Grace.

Review of Chapter “The Hypocrites” - 63

 

Review of “The Hypocrites” (L-3269)

Chapter “MUNAAFIQUUN” - (The Hypocrites) - 63

True Muslims could never get rid of such people who apparently were strong Muslims but heartily they did not have belief. It aims that they were Hypocrites. They consider that the Believers are fool who; after putting belief in their hearts; get ready to obey the Commands of Allaah Almighty and follow the Traditions of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) step by step; and do not give any importance to the worldly wealth and honor. The hypocrites are very healthy apparently. Their conversation attracts the people when they talk and incline to them when they flatter. The people are surprised when they address and think that how good they speak. It is very easy for them to cause the people to weep and laugh. Everyone desires to listen to them every time because they promise that they are able to help all. But internally they are entirely hollow. At the time of work they become helpless like little children and run away when they hear any sound. The history is full of the stories of such people. They troubled the Muslims always and whenever their tricks are disclosed; they change their dwellings. They begn their hypocrisy with effect from the times of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) which does not have any end. When any ill happens upon the Muslims, such people become its reason. They are so much cunning that they do not come in the grip of the Law; but arrange for themselves before time. People are vexed from them, Religion is lamenting by them and the world is confused due to them. In short they are such misfortune which does not have any cure. You can observe such people everywhere around you. The Muslims do not have any remedy save it that they should seek refuge in Allaah from them and run away from their conduct. Two things have made them fool – wealth and children, particularly wealth.

Therefore at the end of the Chapter, it has been instructed: O Believers! The Owner of everything is Allaah Almighty. He gives wealth which is not for filling your treasuries. You must spend from it for getting the pleasure of Allaah Almighty as much as you can spend easily, otherwise at the time of death, you will repent and die, and you will lose the entire chance of spending. Allaah Almighty is Aware of your entire works. As you sow so you shall reap.

Wealth is not for depositing

 

Wealth is not for depositing (L-3268)

وَأَنفِقُوا۟ مِن مَّا رَزَقْنَٰكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوْلَآ أَخَّرْتَنِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 10  وَلَن يُؤَخِّرَ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهَا وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ 11

10.  Wa  ‘anfiquu  mimmaa  razaqNaakum-min  qabli  ‘any-ya'-tiya  ‘ahadakumul-Mawtu  fa-yaquula  Rabbi  law- laaa  ‘akh-khartaniii  ‘ilaaa  ‘ajalin-  qariibin,  fa-‘assaddaqa  wa  ‘akum-minas-Saalihiin. 11.  Wa  lany-yu-'akh-khirAllaahu  nafsan  ‘izaa  jaaa-'a  ‘ajaluhaa.  Wallaahu  Khabiirum- bimaa  ta'-maluun. (Section 2/14)

10. And spend of that wherewith We have provided you before death comes unto one of you and he says: My Lord! If only you would reprieve me for a little while, then I would give alms and be among the righteous. 11. But Allah reprieves no soul when its term comes, and Allah is Informed of what you do.

The Muslims are being instructed: Don’t fill your treasures with wealth. Spend from it some wealth for the cause of Allaah Almighty and on good works. Behold! You have an opportunity to spend in good works until you go to death. After death you will have no chance, instead of it you will grieve and regret. Neither your wealth will be useful for you and nor your children will be able to help you. At death’s door; the mankind will say: Would that I had lived for some more days and I would have been successful. He will say also: My Lord, Let me live for some more days, so that I may give charity and be among the righteous.

It is commanded: O ignorant mankind, listen to it carefully! When the death approaches anyone of you, then the life of this world can never be extended. If you did not do something good for yourselves before coming of the death, then it is the end of your earning for the next life. Do before time what you can do. Bear in mind! Allaah Almighty is Aware of your entire works.

Another nonsense

 

Another nonsense (L-3267)

يَقُولُونَ لَئِن رَّجَعْنَآ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ ٱلْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا ٱلْأَذَلَّ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ 8 (ع) يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَٰلُكُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَٰدُكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ 9

8.  Yaquuluuna  la-'ir-raja'-naaa  ‘ilal-Madiinati  layukhri-jannal-‘a-‘azzu  minhal-‘azall.  Wa  Lillaahil-'izzatu  wa  li-RasuuliHii  wa lil-Mu'-miniina  wa  laakin-nal-Munaafiqiina  laa  ya'-lamuun. (Section 1/13) 9.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhallaziina  ‘aamanuu  laa  tul-hikum  ‘amwaa-lukum  wa  laa  ‘awlaadukum  'an  ZikRillaah.  Wa  many-yaf-'al  zaalika  fa-‘ulaaa-'ika  humul-khaasiruun.

8. They say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon drive out the weaker; when might belongs to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not. 9. O you who believe! Let not your wealth nor your children distract you from remembrance of Allah. Those who do so, they are the losers.

The Chieftain of the hypocrites, named AbdUllah bin ‘Ubaii, listened during a journey that one emigrant and one inhabitant (Muhaajir and ‘Ansaarii) had disputed. He spoke on it before his comrades against the emigrants: The inhabitants of Madinah spend their wealth on the emigrants, so they have become so much stubborn. If the people of Madinah will not spend for them, they will be dispersed without any further delay. He said also: After reaching Madinah, we shall exile these emigrants who are a handful weak people, because we are more powerful than them.

In this verse, the Muslims have been informed about the thoughts of the hypocrites and it has been described: To Allaah belongs all honor and power, and to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.

After that it is commanded: O you, who have believed, let not your wealth and your children divert you from remembrance of Allaah like these foolish people, lest you leave remembrance of Allaah Almighty being entangled in the love of wealth and children. They have forgotten their Lord, who have been entangled in the love of worldly wealth and children. They will be the great losers.

Come and listen more!

 

Come and listen more! (L-3266)

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَٰسِقِينَ 6b  هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَا تُنفِقُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَنْ عِندَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ حَتَّىٰ يَنفَضُّوا۟ وَلِلَّهِ خَزَآئِنُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ 7

6b.  ‘InnAllaaha  laa  Yahdil-qawmal-faasiqiin. 7.  Humullaziina  yaquuluuna  laa  tunfiquu  'alaa  man  ‘inda  RasuuLillaahi  hatta  yanfaz-zuu.  Wa  Lillaahi  khazaaa-' inus-samaawaati  wal-‘arzi  wa  laa-kinnal-Munaafiqiina  la-yafqahuun.

6b.  Allah will not forgive them. Lo! Allah guides not the evil-living folk. 7. They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites comprehend not.

It is commanded: Their thoughts are useless and works are unprofitable. They do not turn to Allaah Almighty but run away from the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). When someone does not desire to understand, then the haughty cannot be supported. Allaah Almighty will never forgive such people whether you ask forgiveness for them or ask not, because Allaah Almighty does not show the Straight Path to those who are disobedient and wrongdoers. They will go astray forever.

After that it is commanded: They are the people whose Chieftain said during a journey after hearing a dispute between the Emigrants and the Inhabitants (Muhaajiriin and ‘Ansaar): O people of Madinah! You have revered unreasonably these Emigrants. If you stop supporting them financially, they will be scattered and run away being distressed.

Those blind of reason don’t know that how many depositories are in the heavens and in the earth; are in the possession of Allaah Almighty. Will He let die with hunger to His obedient people and the helpers of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)? The truth is it that these hypocrites have lost their wits. They are unable to understand that Allaah Almighty will help the Muslims in every field.

Healthy but the coward

 

Healthy but the coward (L-3265)

وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ وَإِن يَقُولُوا۟ تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ هُمُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ فَٱحْذَرْهُمْ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ 4  وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا۟ يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ لَوَّوْا۟ رُءُوسَهُمْ وَرَأَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ 5  سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ  لَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ6a

4.  Wa  ‘izaa  ra-‘aytahum  tu'-jibuka  ‘ajsaamuhum.  Wa  ‘iny-yaquuluu  tasma'  liqawlihim.  Ka-‘annahum  khushubum-musannadah.  Yahsabuuna  kulla  say-hatin  'alayhim.  Humul-'aduwwu fahzarhum.  Qaatala-humUllaah!  ‘Annaa  yu'-fakuun. 5.  Wa  ‘izaa  qiila  lahum  ta-'aalaw  yastagfir  lakum  RasuulUllaahi  lawwaw  ru-'uusahum  wa  ra-‘aytahum  yasudduuna  wa  hum-mustakbiruun. 6a.  Sawaaa-'un  'alayhim  ‘astag-farta  lahum  ‘am  lam  tastag-fir  lahum.  Lany-yag-firAllaahu  lahum.

4. And when you see them their figures please you; and if they speak you give ear unto their speech. (They are) as though they were blocks of wood in striped cloaks. They deem every shout to be against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Allah confound them! How they are perverted! 5. And when it is said unto them: Come! The messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you! They avert their faces and you see them turning away, disdainful. 6a. Whether you ask forgiveness for them or ask not forgiveness for them is all one for them;

It is commanded: Apparently it seems from their forms that they are very healthy, which pleases everyone. And if they speak, you consider that their conversation is very interesting. But actually they are nothing. They are as if they were pieces of wood propped up. Being timid they think that every shout is against them as a calamity. Truly they are very afraid of any sudden happening. They are the enemies, so beware of them. May Allaah destroy them. How are they deluded? And when it is said to them, "Come, the Messenger of Allaah (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) will ask forgiveness for you," they turn their heads aside and you see them evading while they are arrogant. It is all the same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them.
