Qur’an is True (L-2992)

Chapter “DUKHAAN” - (SMOKE) – 44

‘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)

حمٓ 1   وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ 2   إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ 3   فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ 4   أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ 5   رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ 6   رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ 7   لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 8

1. Ha, Meem. 2. By the Enlightening Scripture. 3. We have revealed it on a Blessed Night—We have warned. 4. In it is distinguished every wise command. 5. A decree from Us. We have been sending messages. 6. As mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knower. 7. Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you know for sure. 8. There is no god but He. He gives life and causes death—your Lord and Lord of your ancestors of old.

Laylatim-mubaarakatin – (a blessed night), commentators describe that this is fifteenth night of eighth Lunar month “Sha’-baan”. Works of the entire year are disposed of on this night and God Almighty commands concerning way of their commission.

It is commanded: Decision of revealing the Qur’an was made on the blessed night (15^th Sha’-baan – Laylatul- Bar-’at) and was commanded that it would be descended from the heaven to the sky of the world on twenty seventh night of the ninth lunar month “(27^th Ramzaan – Laylatul-Qadr)”. And then it must be sent down to Muhammad, the last Messenger of God Almighty (ﷺ) in process of time. Accordingly, with effect from the same night of Ramzaan, which was decided, Holy Qur’an was begun to descend. Its full descent took nearly twenty two years, two months and twenty two days.

It is commanded: God Almighty, Who is your Lord O Muhammad (ﷺ), and Who appointed and sent you as Own Messenger by His Mercy, because it was compulsory to inform the mankind about the Truth and warn them from the nature of the consequence of wicked deeds. Your Lord is the Same Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever exists in between them. He hears of all and is Aware of entire circumstances. If you believe in it; you will get success. There is no one worthy of worship except Him. Giving life and death is in His Power. As He is your Lord, like this He is the Lord of your forefathers too who passed away. Therefore, you must incline to Holy Qur’an.

Introduction - Chapter “DUKHAAN” - (SMOKE)

 

Introduction - Chapter “DUKHAAN” - (SMOKE) – 44 (L-2991)

In order, this is forty fourth Chapter of Holy Qur’an and fifth from the Chapters which begin with the words Haa. Miiim. There is mention of Dukhaan (Smoke) in it. Therefore its name is chosen Dukhaan. It was revealed during the middle times of stay at Makkah and it contains three Sections.

When people of Makkah heard Qur’an, then those whose hearts were pure and fair, they understood that “It is a remarkable Word which shall get the upper hand certainly in the world. Some people were in doubt and some whose hearts were hard; they denied it clearly.

It was commanded: Meditate in the verses of Qur’an. This is very clear and manifest Book. We revealed it during a blessed night because We had to warn the mankind about harsh dangers. On the same night; every wise command is made clear by Us. It is appearance of the Mercy of your Lord Who brings up every living creature of the universe. There is no worthy of worship except Him. Giving life and death is in His Hand only. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.

What has happened with these people that they have doubts in their hearts and have been entangled in useless matters? Do you wait for that time when the Smoke will spread everywhere and the people will have been suffering from severe pain and troubles? They will say being confused: Our Lord! Protect us from this calamity, we shall have belief. But they will never believe. Our Prophets (Peace be upon them) showed them clear miracles which were falsified by them. If We stop the misfortune for some days, they will do the same as they did in past.

Bear in mind! Wrongdoers will be seized on the Day of Resurrection and every one of them will be retaliated. Before them, Pharaoh also did the same. He falsified Our chosen Messenger Moses (Peace be upon him), who showed miracles and said: Don’t molest me. Either believe or leave me including the Children of Israel, so that I may carry them away. But Pharaoh denied. At last We drowned Pharaoh along with his people in the river and they left their everything of luxury behind. There was no one who had to weep for them. Everything was finished in awhile. And the Children of Israel were released. Pharaoh was very haughty. Then We bestowed the Children of Israel with Our blessings. These idolaters of Arab also are proud. They say: There is no life again after death, death means dead forever, but you say that all people will be brought back to life again after death, if so; show us bringing back to life our forefathers.

O ignorant! We have destroyed those who were more powerful than you. You can’t compare yourselves with them. Use your sense. This world, the sky and the earth are not a game. You will come to know final result of this all on the Day of Resurrection. Good people will enjoy in the Gardens; where there entire desires will be fulfilled. But wrongdoers will be cast into the Hell. Wait if you don’t believe. Entire reality will be opened when the Time will come. https://youtu.be/sPqnnlSGojk

What does this Chapter teach?

 

What does this Chapter teach? (L-2990)

The people of Arab are being addressed and it is being commanded: Did you hear and understand this Book which discloses the Truth? Recite and meditate in its verses: Its aim is to educate you and make you a good pattern for all human beings of the entire world. You must understand it and explain before the world. We have made it for reciting in Arabic language. Its rank is very high and entire matters of wisdom have been mentioned in it. It has been recorded in “Lowh-Mehfuuz” (A Table on which the destinies of the world since its creation are written). No one can change or amend its Commandments. Revealing this treasure of blessing cannot be stopped due to your most rude people who turn away from it. There is betterment and welfare for the entire world in it. If you will not believe in it then other people will believe in it who are more intelligent than you. We sent Our Prophets (Peace be upon them) among the people before you also. Foolish people from them too misbehaved with Our messengers (Peace be upon them). Then what happened? We punished them due to their arrogance. Now they are in stories only. We have caused you to hear their circumstances in this Book for warning. You admit that this entire universe is created by God Almighty. Then why do you not follow His commandments? He is Most Powerful and Knower of everything. He is Who made roads for your movement in the earth, caused to rain from the sky and made the land luxuriant. When it becomes dead after withering, then He causes upon it to rain and brings to life again. Like this; He will bring you to life again after death. He is Who arranged boats and ships for your moving from one place to others in rivers and seas, and cattle for riding and going from one village to the other in dry land. Should you not be thankful to Him? Behold! Remember the kindness of God Almighty when you ride on them and say: Thanks God Who made them our obedient; otherwise we had no power to take work from them. We have to return to our Lord.

Behold! God Almighty has no children. All are His slaves. Determining His daughters is entirely a lie. Follow not the religion of your astray forefathers! The Religion explained by Holy Qur’an is better than that. Behold! When Abraham (Peace be upon him) found his father astray, he left his religion and believed that Allaah (God) is One only. And he bequeathed the same for his children too. You are his children, so you must follow him because he guided to the right path. Wealth and property of the world are nothing. The actual thing is future (the Day of Resurrection) which will be better for the Muslim Righteous people. Being careless from God Almighty is just like surrendering oneself before the Devil. The disbelievers will be punished very severely as Pharaoh and his people were punished.

After that, it has been described concerning Jesus (Peace be upon him) that he is a pattern of the Divine Power of God Almighty and a Token of the last Day. There is no doubt in the Day of Judgment. Except the righteous people, other all will be enemies of one another mutually on that Day. The Paradise is the best place for dwelling. You must give up ascribing plurality to Allaah if you desire to go to the Paradise. Those who do not believe in God Almighty, their End will be very bad.

Intentional obstinacy

 

Intentional obstinacy (L-2989)

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ 87   وَقِيلِهِۦ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ 88   فَٱصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَقُلْ سَلَٰمٌ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ 89

87.  Wa  la-'in  sa-‘altahum-  man  khalaqahum  la- yaquulun- nAllaahu  fa-‘annaa yu'-fakuun. 88.  Wa  qiilihii  yaa-Rabbi  ‘inna  haaa-'ulaaa-'i  qawmul-laa  yu'-minuun. 89.  Fasfah  'anhum  wa  qul  Salaam.  Fasawfa  ya'-lamuun.  (Section 7/13)

87. And if you asked them, “Who created them?”, they would say, “God.” Why then do they deviate? 88. As for his statement: “My Lord, these are a people who do not believe.” 89. Pardon them, and say, “Peace.” They will come to know.

It is commanded: These people adore others but when they are asked: Who made you? Then they say immediately without thinking – Allaah. While they believe that they are made by the Creator of everything i.e. God, then why do they bow and incline towards others instead of Him? Why have they gone astray instead of choosing the Right Path?

After that, they have been threatened by swearing. Bear it in mind that in Holy Qur’an, swearing of anything aims that the attention is being drawn particularly to that thing. Here it is intended to remind that the people adopted carelessness and obstinacy so much that Our Messenger (ﷺ) had to say clearly in Our Majesty: I recited Qur’an before them, explained its meanings and showed them acting upon its commandments. In short, I tried my best to guide them towards the Straight Path, but they are so much arrogant that they do not attend to me and run away from Belief.

We have listened to Our Messenger (ﷺ) and certainly We will help him against the refractory people. Now O Messenger (ﷺ): Turn away from them without quarreling and say: “Peace” and be silent! They will be punished very soon. Then their eyes will be opened and they will come to know.

None is worthy of worship but Allah

 

None is worthy of worship but Allah (L-2988)

وَتَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ 85  وَلَا يَمْلِكُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَن شَهِدَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ 86

85.  Wa  tabaarakal-lazii  lahuu  mulkus-samaawaati  wal-’arzi  wa  maa  baynahumaa.   Wa  'indahuu  'ilmus-Saa'ah.  Wa  ‘ilayhi  turja-'uun. 86.  Wa  laa  yamlikul-laziina  yad-'uuna  min- duunihish-Shafaa-'ata  ‘illaa  man-  shahida  bil-Haqqi  wa  hum  ya'-lamuun.

85. And blessed is He Who has sovereignty over the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He alone has knowledge of the Hour, and to Him you will be returned. 86. Those they invoke besides Him are incapable of intercession; only those who testify to the truth and have knowledge.

It is commanded: God Almighty is the Source of all such virtues which are endless. He does not need any supporter, that is to say, He is Who Possesses and is Sovereign of all such things which exist in the heavens, in the earth and whatsoever is in between them. He knows also that when the Day of Resurrection will happen, then all dead bodies will come to life again and stand up. You all people will be returned to Him and He will judge concerning you according to your deeds that who did good and who did wrong. Your false thoughts which you have set up that “to whom you adore except God Almighty, they will intercede for you in His Court; will cause you to provide whatever you will desire in the world and will save you also from the Doom on the Day of Resurrection by interceding, all such thoughts are baseless”. Listen to it carefully! None of them have any power of intercession to which you call instead of God Almighty, whether those are living or dead, idols or something else. Only That will be able to intercede who will be permitted by God Almighty for this purpose. This permission can be given only to those individuals who admitted the Truth by their tongues during their worldly life and believed wholeheartedly. Parts of that Truth are: Allaah (God) is One and everything is in His Divine Power, Muhammad (ﷺ) is His last Messenger, surely the Day of Resurrection will come, no one has any power or omnipotence save God Almighty, therefore we should pray only before Him.

Allah is pure from such matters

 

Allah is pure from such matters (L-2987)

سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ 82   فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ 83   وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَٰهٌ وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَٰهٌ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ 84

82.  Subhaana  Rabbis-samaawaati  wal-‘arzi  Rabbil-‘Arshi  'ammaa  yasifuun. 83.  Fazarhum  yakhuuzuu  wa  yal-'abuu  hattaa  yulaaquu. Yawma-humul-lazii  yuu-'aduun. 84.  Wa  Huwal-lazii  fis-samaaa-'i  ‘Ilaahunw-wa  fil-‘arzi  ‘Ilaah.  Wa  Huwal-Hakiimul- 'Aliim.

82. Glorified be the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, beyond what they describe. 83. So leave them to blunder and play, until they encounter their Day which they are promised. 84. It is He who is God in heaven, and God on earth. He is the Wise, the Knower.

God Almighty is entirely pure from those wrong statements which you make concerning Him. He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Owner of the Throne, and everything is in His Sovereignty. He needs neither children and nor any helper. He Alone is Possessor of all things. Entire human beings are His slaves. They must be His obedient.

God Almighty commands to His Messenger (ﷺ): These people have been involved in worldly pastimes and enjoy supports and games. Leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet the Day of Resurrection which they are promised. They will come to know that the works; in which they were entangled; were useless and good-for-nothing. Now they have to do nothing but regret. Their remorse is not for a few days but forever.

 

Beware! If you desire to be mankind and escape from afflictions, then you must correct your thoughts concerning God Almighty. Holy Qur’an has explained His Epithets in accordance with your sense and understanding. Behold! He is Who created the entire universe, Who is the only Deity of every living creature and Who fulfills requirements of all such who exist in the heavens and in the earth. All creatures incline towards Him. There is neither anyone in the heavens and nor in the earth – living or lifeless except Him, who may be God. He Alone is Rightful of being Worshipped because only He is the Wise and the Knower of everything.

False thought concerning God

 

False thought concerning God (L-2986)

It has been warned to the disbelievers of makkah: God Almighty is Aware of your entire activities and cleverness. If you have determined to prevent the people from Islam, then We have determined too that Islam shall spread in the entire world, your all schemes of preventing will fail and you will be defeated.

When infidels of Makkah observed that the person before whom Holy Qur’an is recited by Muhammad (ﷺ), he admits its effect immediately and inclines towards Islam, then they gathered and counseled one another. “Islam would spread everywhere if you ignored this matter and then we shall not be able to do something. The Muslims will sing for joy and you will hang down your heads through shame. Therefore, you must make a secret plan immediately so that you may stop spreading Islam”. Then they decided collectively: Whoever from us has embraced Islam, if he is free then his relative, and if he is slave then his master - should rebuke and punish the Muslim, so that being irritated he give up Islam. Such people must be caused to understand carefully who come from abroad and visit Makkah that such a Man is born who tells new things. He is (God forbid) mad. Do neither attend to him and nor go close to him. He will lead you (Let us flee to God) astray. His sayings have influence like magical charm.

Accordingly, all of them covenanted that they will do so. Then they began to act upon it. In these verses, it has been replied: God Almighty has determined also that your all such plans shall surely fail. You will be disgraced and certainly Islam will get victory.

So it happened. Muslims underwent such sufferings by the hands of their relatives and masters that if those are described, the hairs stand on end. Even then, none of Muslims reverted from Islam. The disbelievers were disgraced everywhere. At last the Battle of Badr was fought which broke the spine of disbelievers.

After that, it is commanded to the Messenger (ﷺ): Explain before them! Islam invites you for your betterment and desires to correct your thoughts. How can it be correct that you determine children of God Almighty, and have begun to adore them in various forms? It is entirely impossible. I assure you that, suppose! If it is proved by strong proof that God Almighty has children, then as I, myself, am first of all and biggest worshipper of God Almighty, am ready to respect and adore His children as they deserve. O ignorant! What do you say? Any sensible person can never think that The Creator has His own children.
