Quran Chapter 3- 10 to 12 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-365) - درس قرآن

An admonition

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَن تُغْنِىَعَنْهُمْ أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَٰدُهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمْ وَقُودُ ٱلنَّارِ 10

كَدَأْبِ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُبِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَٱللَّهُ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ11 

 قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ سَتُغْلَبُونَ وَتُحْشَرُونَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ 12

10.  (On that Day) neither the riches nor the progeny of those who disbelieve will aught avail them with Allah. And they will be fuel for Fire-

11.  Like Pharaoh’s folk and those who were before them. They disbelieved Our Revelations, so Allah seized them for their sins. And   Allah is Severe in punishment. 

12.  Say (O Muhammad) unto those who disbelieve: Ye shall be overcome and gathered unto Hell. And it is an evil resting-place.        
10.  ‘Innal-laziina  kafaruu  lan-tug-niya  ‘anhum  ‘amwaaluhum  wa  laaa  ‘awlaaduhum-minAllaahi  shay- ‘aa.  Wa  ‘ulaaa- ‘ika  hum  waquudun-  Naar.

11.  Kada’-bi  ‘aali  Fir- ‘awna,  wallaziina  min-  qablihim.  Kaz-zabuu  bi- ‘aayaatiNaa  Fa- ‘akha-zahumUllaahu  bi-  zunuubihim.  WAllaahu  Shadiidul- ‘iqaab.

12.  Qul-lillaziina  kafaruu  sa-sa-tuglabuuna  wa tubsharuuna  ‘ilaa  Jahan-nam.  Wa  bi’-sal-mihaad.    

Commentary

The Infidels and Idolaters have been warned in the first verse of this lesson that as ancient nations were punished for their infidelity and plurality in Oneness of God, just like them; you will be punished also for such sins.  

This verse indicates towards Pharaoh and the nations earlier to him that they falsified the Prophets (peace be upon them), sent by Allah Almighty, refused His tokens and disobeyed His Orders. Allah Almighty seized them in punishment for these entire sins and punished them severely. Therefore, everyone should take warning from those ancient nations, and the existing Infidels and Idolaters should refrain from perverseness. It has been predicted in the second verse that all those Infidels who are enemies of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), will be overcome soon. The Muslims will defeat them. After being punishable in this world, they will be cast fuel in to the severest Fire of the Hell, which is certainly a resting-place of evil-livers (very bad place).

Two Supplications Quran Chapter 3- 8 & 9 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-364) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 8 & 9 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-364) - درس قرآن

Two Supplications

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَامِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ 8 

 رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ جَامِعُ ٱلنَّاسِ لِيَوْمٍ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ 9

8.  Our Lord! Cause not our hearts to stray after Thou hast guided us, and bestow upon us mercy from Thy Presence. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Bestower.
9.  Our Lord! Lo! It is Thou Who gatherest mankind together to a Day of which there is no doubt. Lo! Allah faileth not to keep tryst.
8.  Rabbanaa  laa  tuzig  quluu-banaa  ba’-da  ‘iz  hadaytanaa  wa  hab  lanaa  milladunKa  rah-mah.  ‘InnaKa    ‘Antal-Wahaab.
9.  Rabbanaa  ‘innaKa  jaami- ‘unnaasi  li-Yawmil-laa  rayba  fiih.  ‘InnAllaaha  laa  yukh-liful-mii- ‘aad. 

Commentary

Laa  tuzig – (Cause not to stray), the word zay-gun has come in the previous verse, which means “a doubt, crookedness”. This word has also come out from the same root i.e. zay-gun. In the supplication of laa  tuzig; a slave of the Truth begs before God, “Cause not our hearts to stray while once You have guided us and we have found the Right Path”.

Prophet of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) used to supplicate often in these words despite having so much higher grades and splendid perfections, “Yaa Muqal-libal quluubi Sabbit  qalbii ‘alaa  DiiniKa” (O Converter of the hearts! Keep my heart steady upon Your Religion).

The Erudite know that such Day will come when God Almighty will gather the entire humankind together. The people of crooked heart, who used to quarrel in precepts, decision will be settled for all. Every evil-liver will have to settle with punishment due to his crossness in manners and obstinacy. Due to this reason, the well learned persons remain disgusted from such unprincipled persons and are seekers of mercy of Allah Almighty.

God Almighty described the consequence of the Infidels along with the mention of Doomsday that; nothing in the world and on the Day of Resurrection can save them from the punishment of Allah Almighty. The Christian scholars of Najraan did not embrace Islam; only due to the reason that the Christian King would stop to reward them distinguishing gifts in case of their embracing Islam. Here, it has been commanded that the entire wealth and property are accidental and nothing from it will be useful on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, those people who do not believe in Islam for the sake of only worldly wealth and property or honor and dignity, they must know and recognize that the wealth, property or mass would not be able to save them from the torment.

The entire promises of Allah Almighty are true and He does never fail to keep His tryst. Therefore, every individual should continue doing good acts with perfect certainty of the parts of deeds.

Two kinds of Verses - 2 - Quran Chapter 3- 7 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-363) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 7 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-363) - درس قرآن

Two kinds of Verses - 2

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِنْهُ ءَايَٰتٌمُّحْكَمَٰتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَٰبِهَٰتٌ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَٰبَهَ مِنْهُ ٱبْتِغَآءَ ٱلْفِتْنَةِ وَٱبْتِغَآءَ تَأْوِيلِهِۦ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُۥٓإِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَٱلرَّٰسِخُونَ فِى ٱلْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ 7

When Christians of Najraan were rendered helpless from all obvious arguments of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), they said, “Hindmost you also believe in Jesus (peace be upon him) as the Spirit of God and Word of Allah. It is sufficient to prove our claim.” The reply of their useless objection has been given here in a simple way. Many dissensions and doubts can be dispelled after understanding them.

Allah Almighty commanded that there are two types of Revelations in Holy Qur’aan and other Heavenly Scriptures like Torah and Gospel etc.

  • Those verses which have ‘known’ and ‘certain’ meanings. Such verses are called ‘Aayaatum-Muh-kamaatun and in fact root and essence of the entire teachings of the Scripture are these Revelations.

  • Name of the other type of Revelations is Mutashaa-bihaat. That is to say, some doubt happens in knowing the meanings of such verses.  

Correct way is that the meaning of second type of verses should be seen in the light of first type of verses. Which meanings seem opposite, those should be refuted. If the meaning does not become manifest despite effort, even then he should not cross the limits who seeks the meanings. No individual is omniscient that he may know everything. He should remain silent; thinking about his knowledge. He should not issue the meanings with wrong method, which is against universally accepted principles of religion and clear Revelations. For example, Holy Qur’aan has explained about Jesus (peace be upon him) ‘Inna  huwa  ‘illaa  ‘abdun  ‘An-‘am-Naa  ‘alay-hi (Indeed he is a servant only, to whom We favored). It guides us at another place, ‘Inna  masala  ‘Iisaa  ‘indAllaahi  kamasali  ‘Aadama  khalaq-tahuu  min  tu-raabin (Likeness of Jesus is just like Adam. Allah created him from the earth). And it has also been proved at some other places that Jesus (peace be upon him) is neither God, nor son of God.

Now if any person runs behind resemblances of (KalmaHullaah) ‘The Word of Allah’ and  (RuuhUllaah) ‘The Spirit of God’ etc. by closing his eyes from all these Muhkamaat. And takes such superficial meanings, which are against the common explanation of the Scripture, by leaving those meanings which are suitable to the clear verses, he is surely obstinate and perverse. Some malevolent people want to ensnare the people astray by misleading them. And some people, who are weak in their belief, wish to imply such Mutashaa-bihaat (allegorical verses) according to their own judgment and will. Whereas only Allah Almighty Knows their true meanings.  

Those people who have strong knowledge, they recognize the ‘Aayaatum-Muh-kamaat and Mutashaa-bihaat from Allah Almighty. They believe that the both types of Revelations are revealed from the same source. Therefore, they try to understand Mutashaa-bihaat in the light of Muhkamaat and which part is out of their sense; they leave it upon Allah Almighty because He is the best Knower.

In short, it is the duty of a common person who has ordinary knowledge that he should not wrangle with Mutashaa-bihaat, which have more than one meaning. He should ask its meaning from religious scholars, and which verses have clear meanings, he should act corresponding to them without any delay and Reluctance.

Two kinds of Verses - 1

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِنْهُ ءَايَٰتٌمُّحْكَمَٰتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَٰبِهَٰتٌ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَٰبَهَ مِنْهُ ٱبْتِغَآءَ ٱلْفِتْنَةِ وَٱبْتِغَآءَ تَأْوِيلِهِۦ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُۥٓإِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَٱلرَّٰسِخُونَ فِى ٱلْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ 7

7.  He it is who hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture wherein are clear Revelations - they are the substance of the Book - and others (which are) allegorical. But those in whose hearts is doubt pursue, forsooth, that which is allegorical seeking (to cause) dissension by seeking to explain it. None knoweth its explanation save Allah. And those who are of sound instruction say: We believe therein; the whole is from our Lord; but only men of understanding really heed.
7.  Huwallazii  ‘unzila  ‘alaykal- Kitaaba  minhu  ‘aayaatum-Muhkamaatun  hunna  ‘Ummul-  Kitaabi  wa  ‘ukharu  Mutashaa-bihaat.  Fa- ‘ammal-laziina  fii  quluubihim  zay-gun-  fayattabi- ‘uuna  maa  tashaabaha  minhub-tigaa- ‘al-fitnati  wabtigaaa-‘a  ta’-wiilih.  Wa  maa  ya’-lamu  ta’-wiilahuuu  ‘illAllaah.  War-Raasikhuuna  fil- ‘ilmi  yaquu-luuna  ‘aamannaa  bihii, kullum-min  ‘indi  Rabbinaa.  Wa  maa  yazzakkaru  ‘illaaa  ‘ulul- ‘albaab.  

Commentary

Muhkamaatun – (clear), those clear and apparent verses of Holy Qur’aan, objects of which are determined and there is no doubt in their meanings.

‘Ummul-  Kitaabi – (the substance of the Book), substance of everything is called ‘Ummu. Here this fact has been mentioned that those verses of Holy Qur’aan, which are clear and obvious, which have only one meaning, are substantial and touchstones.

Mutashaa-bih  (Allegorical), that is such Word, which has reciprocally several matching meanings, it would be difficult to distinguish between them and come out different points of view from its explanation. Only the religious scholars may make difference between them. It is the duty of common people that they should follow the real scholars in the meanings of such verses. They should not rely on their own senses.  

‘Al-laziina  fii  quluubihim  zay-gun – (those in whose hearts is doubt), it signifies towards those nations who fixed some allegorical verses seeking (to cause) dissension and by seeking to explain it as real, and by leaving behind guidance and teachings of their Prophets (peace be upon them). Further detail may be seen in the next lesson.

Denying false beliefs - Quran Chapter 3- 5 & 6 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-361) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 5 & 6 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-361) - درس قرآن

Denying false beliefs

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَيْهِ شَىْءٌ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِوَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ 5  

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُصَوِّرُكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْحَامِ كَيْفَ يَشَآءُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ 6

5.  Lo! Nothing in the earth or in the heaven is hidden from Allah.

6.  He it is who fashioneth you in the wombs as pleaseth Him. There is no God save Him, the Almighty, the Wise.         
5.  ‘InnAllaaha  laa  yakh-faa  ‘alayhi  shay- ‘un-  fil- ‘arzi  wa  laa  fis-samaaa’.

6.  Huwal-lazi  yusaw-wirukum  fil- ‘ar-haami  kayfa  yashaaa’. Laaa  ‘ilaaha  ‘illaa  Huwal-  ‘Azii-zul-  Hakiim.  

Commentary

God Almighty commanded in the previous verse that He will punish those people who will deny His Revelations. In addition, it has been described in this verse that He has Full knowledge about everything. As His Authority is perfect, likewise, His Knowledge is also very perfect. Nothing (big or small) can remain hidden for a moment from His Knowledge in the earth or in the skies. He knows specific difference among the entire goodness and the evils. Where can a wrongdoer go who wishes to hide himself running out?

It manifests too from this narration that Jesus (peace be upon him) cannot be God because he did not have such full knowledge. He (peace be upon him) did know only that, which was revealed by Allah Almighty unto him. For refutation of godhead of Jesus (peace be upon him), Allah Almighty described another characteristic. That is to say, “He it is Who fashions you according to His Wisdom and Knowledge in the wombs of mothers as pleases Him. There is no God save Him. He brings in to being as He wishes - male or female, handsome or ill looking, clear-sighted or blind, dumb or deaf. He raises a human being from an ordinary drop of seminal fluid and blood.” Therefore, how can he (peace be upon him) be called God who remained in the darkness of his mother’s womb, eats, drinks, makes a water and performs a function of nature.

The Christians used to produce the proof that Jesus (peace be upon him) is God as; while there is no apparent father of him, then God is his father (let’s flee to Allah Almighty). They are being replied against their question in this verse. That is to say’ Allah Almighty prepares the form of mankind in the womb with His Divine Power as He desires, either by means of father and mother (both) or with the power of mother only. Hence, He described the Attribute of ‘Azii-zul-  Hakiim , that is to say’ He is Excelling, Owner of all strong Powers and the Almighty, the Wise.

He created Adam (peace be upon him) without father and mother, brought in to being his wife Eve (peace be upon them) without mother. Like this, He produced Jesus (peace be upon him) without father. How can someone have doubt in the Wisdom and Knowledge of such Creator, Master and the Wise?

Holy Qur’aan and the Scriptures revealed before it - Quran Chapter 3- 3 & 4 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-360) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 3 & 4 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-360) - درس قرآن

Holy Qur’aan and the Scriptures revealed before it

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ وَٱلْإِنجِيلَ 3

3.  He hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture with truth, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, even as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel-

4.  Aforetime, for a guidance to mankind; and hath revealed the Criterion (of right and wrong). Lo! Those who disbelieve the Revelations of Allah, theirs will be a heavy doom. And Allah is Requite (the wrong).             
3.  Nazzala  ‘alaykal-Kitaaba  bil-Haqqi  musaddiqal-limaa  bayna  yadayhi  wa  ‘anzalat-Taw-raata  wal-‘Injiil

Commentary

Bil-Haqqi  (with truth), wisdom, knowledge, and justice are included also in the meanings of the word Haqq along with the truth. That is to say; the Word of God Almighty (Holy Qur’aan) is full of wisdom as well as true in all respects.  

Musaddiqun – (a Verifier, an Affirmer, one which confirms that other Scriptures of God Almighty are true too), Holy Qur’aan is the Scripture, which confirms those Scriptures, which were revealed before it. It acknowledges every Heavenly Book as on the truth, and believes in the entire Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) and that their teachings were also from Allah Almighty.

‘Al-Furqaan – (a standard of judging, the Criterion), it means such specified discretion, which is produced between the right and the wrong. According to some religious scholars, it aims the miracles, arguments and proofs which were conferred to every Messenger and Prophet (peace be upon them). Furqaan is the name of Holy Qur’an too. Its literal meanings are ‘the Separator’, that is to say; the Separator of right and wrong, true and false.

God Almighty has commanded to His last Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) in these words here, “O Messenger! Holy Qur’aan has been revealed unto you with truth and justice in accordance with real wisdom and it has another peculiarity that it confirms the Scriptures, which were revealed before it; like Torah of Moses, Psalms of David and Gospel of Jesus (peace be upon Them) etc. Those Books were revealed for the guidance of the ancient people. Like this, Allah Almighty described that the faith regarding Godhead of Jesus and being son of God did not exist in any heavenly book, because according to the principles of the religion; all Heavenly Books are unanimous.

Allah Almighty revealed such proper things in every reign, which differentiate and distinct between the right and the wrong, lawful and unlawful, true and false. At last, He also commanded that the people; who will deny believing in the Revelations of Allah Almighty intentionally, He will punish them certainly. He is Overcoming, Requite and Perfect Capable to take revenge.

Epithets of God

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

1  ‘Alif-Laaam-Miiim.

2.  ‘Allaahu  laaa  ‘ilaaha  ‘illaa  Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyuum.
  
Commentary

Purpose of revealing this verse is that a group of Christians from Najraan came unto Messenger of Allah (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). These people were convinced about godhead of Jesus (peace be upon him). They used to say him “son of God” (let’s flee to God) and believed in trinity. When the conversation began, Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) proved that Jesus (peace be upon him) was a mankind and servant of God Almighty. Allah Almighty is pure from it that He is nourished in the womb of any woman, and after birth He eats and drinks like common human being, (I seek shelter in Allah Almighty from Satan the outcast). Messenger of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) described that the belief of Christians, in which they say, “Jesus (peace be upon him) was hanged and died restlessly is baseless (let us flee to God).

Last Messenger of God (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said, “you do not know that ‘Allaahu  laaa  ‘ilaaha  ‘illaa  Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyuum (Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal), He can never die, He bestowed body to the entire creatures. Opposite to Him; Jesus (peace be upon him) will certainly die, and it has been cleared that; how can anyone keep up other creature who cannot keep up his own existence?

Listening to it, they all were silent. Then Messenger of God (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said, “if you have still any doubt then come, let us come out bringing our children (yours’ and ours’) and pray from God Almighty, “curse upon the liar”. They requested that they would reply after consultation with one another. Accordingly, they consulted among themselves that, “this person is Messenger of God (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), if we shall oppose him in this manner, the wrath of God will break in upon us. So, it is better for us to go back to our homes”. Therefore, they went back to Najraan

‘Alif-Laaam-Miiim – (these kinds of verses are short), it was explained in Surah AL-BAQARAH, Chapter – 2, Verse # – 1, section -1). Saying something certainly about its meaning is difficult. The scholars have explained its different meanings. Well-known saying is that ‘Alif-Laaam-Miiim is substance of ‘Ana-Allaahu ‘A’-lamu (I, Allah; am the best Knower). In short, God Almighty has rejected the beliefs of the Christians in above-mentioned verse. Their following three Articles of Faith were famous: (let us flee to God) 

  1. Trinity (with the union of God, Jesus and Holy Spirit; it becomes God).

  1. Jesus (peace be upon him) is God. He has come in the form of humankind.

  1. Jesus (peace be upon him) is son of God.

The words ‘Allaahu  laaa  ‘ilaaha  ‘illaa  Huu vitiated the first article of the faith. Then the words Hayyul-Qayyuum proved that the second and the third articles of the faith are wrong also, because, Jesus (peace be upon him) was born from the womb of a woman. As though, he (peace be upon him) was indigent of his mother for his birth. Moreover, while transitory is also for him (peace be upon him), then he (peace be upon him) cannot be Qayyuum (the Eternal), so how can he (peace be upon him) be Allah (God) Almighty?
