Ways of destruction

 

Ways of destruction (L-2792)

 

أَمْ لَهُم مُّلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَلْيَرْتَقُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَسْبَٰبِ 10  

جُندٌ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُومٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ 11  

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو ٱلْأَوْتَادِ 12  

وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍ وَأَصْحَٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ 13  

 

10.  ‘Am  lahum-mulkus-samaa-waati  wal-‘arzi  wa  maa  bayna-humaa.  Falyartaquu  fil-‘asbaab.

 

11.  Jundum-maa  hunaalika  mahzuumum-minal-‘ahzaab.

 

12.  Kazzabat  qablahum  Qawmu  Nuuhinw-wa  ‘Aadunw-wa  Fir-‘awnu  Zul-‘awtaad.

 

13.  Wa  Samuudu  wa  Qawmu  Luutinw-wa  ‘As-haabul-‘Aykah.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ikal-  ‘Ahzaab.

 

10. Or do they possess the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend the ropes.

11. An army of confederates will be defeated there.

12. Before them the people of Noah denied the truth; as did Aad, and Pharaoh of the Stakes.

13. And Thamood, and the people of Lot, and the dwellers of the Woods—these were the confederates.

 

 ‘Asbaab – (ways of access, means, ropes), this word is plural of sabab, which means “any such thing by or by means of which, one reaches any other place or thing”. It aims: Collect all ways of access for ascending to heavens!

 

‘Al-‘awtaad – (the owner of stakes). The aim from Zul-‘awtaad is (Pharaoh) the owner of the Stakes, by means of which; he used to become strong.

 

‘As-haabul-‘Aykah – (the companions of the thicket, the dwellers of the Woods) it is title of the folk of Shueib (Peace be upon him). It has passed in Suratush- Shu-‘araaa’.

 

It is commanded: Do they possess the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and that what is between them? Well, then they should collect the means of ascending and after reaching there; they should make arrangements of the world as they desire. They are nothing but a defeated group of some people. These are one from those groups which were ruined in the Past. Those were very powerful and haughty groups as the folk of Noah (Peace be upon him), Aad, powerful and proud Pharaoh, Thamud, the folk of Lot (Peace be upon him) and the folk of Shueib (Peace be upon him) etc. They all used to consider themselves very powerful, but where have they gone and what did happen with them?
