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.

Consequence of disbelievers

 

Consequence of disbelievers (L-3394)

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا 21  لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا 22  لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا 23  لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا 24  إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا 25  جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا 26  إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا 27  وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا 28  وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًا 29  فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا 30

21.  ‘Inna  Jahannama  kaanat  mirsaadaa. 22.  Lit-taagiina  ma-‘aabaa. 23. Laabisiina  fiihaaa   ‘ah-qaabaa. 24.  Laa  yazuuquuna  fiihaa  bardanw-wa  laa  sharaabaa. 25.  ‘Illaa  hamiimanw-wa gas-saaqaa. 26.  Jazaaa-‘anw- wifaaqaa. 27.  ‘Innahum  kaanuu laa  yarjuuna  hisaabaa. 28.  Wa  kazzabuu  bi-‘AayaatiNaa  kizzaabaa. 29.  Wa  kulla  shay-‘in  ‘ahsay-Naahu  kitaabaa. 30.  Fa-zuuquu  falan-Naziidakum  ‘illaa  ‘azaabaa. (Section 1/1)

21. Lo! hell lurks in ambush, 22. A home for the rebellious. 23. They will abide therein for ages. 24. Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 25. Save boiling water and a paralyzing cold: 26. Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 27. For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 28. They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 29. Everything have We recorded in a Book. 30. So taste (of that which you have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment.

It is commanded: All people, whether they are righteous or wrong, live in the world collectively, but on the Day of Resurrection they will be separated from one another. Wrongdoers, who did not believe in Allaah Almighty, but disobeyed His Commandments, will be sent to the Hell, which has been waiting for such people and which is the abode of all stubborn and obstinate people. They will dwell there centuries of years which cannot be counted. They will suffer from thirst more than enough and will not have any cold blow. Boiling water and foul purulence only will be provided to them for drinking. It will be punishment of their evil deeds because they had crossed the line and were careless from the Day of Reckoning. They used to falsify the Revelations of Allaah Almighty intentionally. They did not understand that We were recording their every movement. So they will taste the penalty, and never will We increase them except in torment.

Wonders of God's Omnipotence

 

Wonders of God's Omnipotence (L-3393)

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا 14  لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا 15  وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا 16  إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًا 17  يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا 18  وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا 19  وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا 20

14.  Wa  ‘anzalNaa  minal-mu'-siraati  maaa-‘an  sajjaajaa. 15.  Li-nukh-rija  bihii  habbanw-wa  nabaataa. 16.  Wa  Jannaatin  ‘alfaafaa. 17.  ‘Inna  Yaumal-Fasli  kaana  miiqaataa. 18.  Yawma  yunfakhu  fis-Suuri  fata’-tuuna  ‘afwaajaa. 19.  Wa  futihatis-samaaa-‘u  fa-kaanat  ‘abwaabaa. 20.  Wa  suyyiratil-jibaalu  fakaanat  saraabaa.

14. And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 15. Thereby to produce grain and plant, 16. And gardens of thick foliage. 17. Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 18. A day when the trumpet is blown and you come in multitudes, 19. And the heaven is opened and become as gates, 20. And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage.

It is commanded: We caused to rain in torrents from the clouds filled with water for irrigating the land, by which grains, vegetables and gardens full of leaves may be grown. Meditate in all such blessings and think that Allaah Almighty has produced entire these things for worldly life of the mankind. All believers and disbelievers reap advantages equally from these things. In this world, none is given full reward of thankfulness or punishment of thanklessness, but certainly a Day will come soon when believers and disbelievers will be separated from one another. Its Time has been fixed. When that Time will come, the Trumpet will be blown and the entire people will begin to assemble in the Field of the Judgement. Doors of the Heaven will be opened and the mountains will become as a mirage.
