Quran Chapter 6 – 2 (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-770) - درس قرآن 

Creation of the mankind

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘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 ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن طِينٍ ثُمَّ قَضَىٰٓأَجَلًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى عِندَهُۥ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ 2

2.  He it is Who hath created you from clay, and hath decreed a term for you. And a term is fixed with Him. Yet still ye doubt!

2.  Huwallazii  khalaqa-kum-min-tiinin-  summa  qazaaa  ‘aja-laa.  Wa  ‘Ajalum-Musam-man  ‘indaHuu  summa  ‘antum  tamtaruun.

Commentary

Tamtaruun – (you doubt), this word is from ‘amtaraa’, which has been derived from mir-yatun (doubt). ‘Amtaraa’ means ‘to doubt’.

It has been told in the previous verse that the Creator of the entire world is Allah Almighty, and there is none able to create anything with one’s own power.

According to this verse, He, the same Allah Almighty is, Who has created the humankind. If the human beings think about their own creation and condition, they can understand easily about the creation and form of the world.

It is commanded: Allah Almighty has created you from clay, and has decreed a term and determined a time of your life and dwelling in this world. You should understand from it that a fixed period has been prescribed to preserve the world also. As your own age ends first or last, in the same manner, sometime or other, the age of the entire world will end too and the Doomsday will have to come.

                                              

The intention to cause to understand is that, the universe has been created in accord with a plan and confirmed map. Nobody has ability either to change or damage it. The human being should meditate upon himself to understand it that the one is created from the clay. A particular period has been fixed for keeping him in to existence in the present form. He will die after the specified time. As there is none partner of Allah Almighty in the creation and death of the human being, like this, the entire world has been created by only That One Sole Commander (Allah Almighty). Neither there is His any partner in its creation, nor its establishment and nor anyone can participate in its destruction. Islam desires to set this conception about Allah Almighty in the heart of mankind. And the settlement of all the Islamic commands and system depend on it.

The state of humankind’s creation has already been explained in the lessons of Surah ‘Al-Maaa’-‘idah, in the description of Messenger Jesus (peace be upon Him). It has been enhanced here that the human being will be finished as well as, the entire world will be destroyed sometime or other and the Day of Resurrection will have to come. There is no reason of either humankind’s doubt in it or ascribing any partner of Allah Almighty in the system (establishment) of the world.

Creator of everything is Allah

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

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

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

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ وَٱلنُّورَ ثُمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ 1

1.  Praise be to Allah, Who hath created the heavens and the earth, and hath appointed darkness and light. Yet those who disbelieve ascribe rivals unto their Lord.

1.  ‘Alhamdu  LIllaahillazii  khala-qas-Samaawaati  wal-‘arza  wa  ja-‘alaz-zulumaati  wan-Nuur.  Summal-laziina  kafaruu  bi-Rabbihim  ya’-diluun.

Commentary

‘As-Samaawaat – (the skies, the heavens), it is plural of Samaaa’. The thing, which is above from our head, is called Samaaa’, and since there are many things above from our heads, which are visible, when we see up, so, the plural tense has been used for all. 

‘Az-zulumaat – it is plural of zulmat, which means ‘the darkness’ – either darkness of the night or day or both. 

‘An-Nuur – (the light), it aims ‘the day time’. Those all things have been included in the darkness and the light besides the night and the day, which are opposite to each other, for example: Bad and good, ignorance and knowledge, depravity and guidance etc.

Ya’-diluun – it is from ‘Adal. ‘Adal means equality and rivalry, to assimilate or settle two things mutually themselves.

That actual matter has been described excellently in this verse, which Islam desires to teach the human being. That is to say; the Creator of the entire world and its all things, is only One, Allah Almighty, because He is the Person, Who has complete Divine Power, all the virtues and excellence. Other than Him, you can observe and find one or the other fault even anyone else, and that will be needy of any other for existence.

It is commanded that the heavens and the earth were created by Allah Almighty. Those entire creatures have come in these both things, which are found among them i.e. He is the Creator of all those creatures also. After that, He appointed some of those things good and useful, and some harmful and bad. As though, He desires to cause the mankind to understand that all the things including mankind are equal in terms of birth. Nothing is wrong with them.

Then, after that, Allah Almighty appointed some things/creatures good and useful for the other some creatures; and some things harmful and bad for the some other people/creatures and vice versa. The fire-worshippers have also been abrogated as well as the idolaters from it because the good and the bad have no interference/ connection in the birth.

After that, it has been described that the entire world is witness that there is none its Creator except Allah Almighty. Even then the disbelievers ascribe other things as partners and rivals of Allah Almighty.

Summary of Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam - Quran Chapter 6 – Intro (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-768) - درس قرآن

Quran Chapter 6 – Intro (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-768) - درس قرآن 

Summary of Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘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.)

‘An-‘aam is plural of Na-‘am. Na-‘am means an animal. Allah Almighty has made the animals and the cattle, servants of the mankind, but some people make some of them unlawful at their own. This Chapter explains about those cattle and animals. In this connection, the word ‘An-‘aam has been used many times in this chapter, so this Surah was named as Suratul-‘An-‘aam.

This Chapter was revealed at a time completely in Makkah except a few verses, which were revealed probably in Madinah. The time of its revelation is one year Before Hijrah and actually its teachings are about the Oneness of God Almighty and rejection of all false fancies, in which more than One God are believed in, and the people bow before other things respectfully except Allah Almighty and worship them, and have faith into them such qualities and virtues, which are specified only for Allah Almighty.

Before the revelation of Holy Qur’aan in the world, no anything would have been left possibly, which was not worshipped. It was common to make partners of Allah Almighty by including others and believing His excellence and virtues into them also. The Fire-worshippers and Magi used to say: The God, who created good things of the world, is another person, and who created bad things, is someone else. They used to say the good things as ‘the Dawn” i.e. Noor (Light), but the bad things were called by them “the Darkness” i.e. Zulmat. They were convinced of these two gods. The Indians used to believe in three hundred and thirty million demi-gods. Every demi-god was appointed for any separate function. The Arian society strived and decreased them, but even then, they fixed ‘the matter and the soul’ eternal, immortal like God, and firm and non-creature. The Idolaters of the Arab used to believe that the trees and stones etc. were partners and helpers also in the Divinity of Allah Almighty.

The Jews determined the virtues of Allah Almighty so much common that everyone can be either equal to Him, or superior to Him. Besides this, they worshipped the calf. The Christians fixed the father, the son and the Holy Spirit – equal partners in the Divinity. In short, it was very difficult to find any convinced person of One God (Allah Almighty). Those all faiths have been determined false and set at naught in this Surah. And it is taught that there is no partner of Allah Almighty, as He is Single in His Kind, in the same way, His virtues are odd too from all others. Only He is, Who has created the entire things with His Own Omnipotence, and until He will desire, will keep them up. And whenever, He will wish, will finish them. Security, safety and establishment of the world are only in His hand. He has prescribed different and separate Laws of life for every kind of His creature. He is also the Creator of the humankind and for the guidance of human beings, He has sent Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon Them), out of which, there is recital about many Messengers (peace be upon Him) in this Chapter.

Topic of the Table Spread -2

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘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.)

Every command, which exists in Holy Qur’aan, that is for the entire nation (including the Jews, the Christians or the Idolaters etc.). A thing, which needs special attention of every human being in the world, is, that all of them, who were born during the worldly life of the Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon Him) and will born until the last Day of this world (the Day of Resurrection), are included in the nation of Last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) without any distinction of tribe, color, race or religion.

So, the commands, mentioned in the Holy Qur’aan are usually in plural tense, but wherever, singular tense has been used into them, there, the Messenger of Allah Almighty has been addressed (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon Him) personally, Who represents entire people of His nation. It is known from this discussion that the pride of every individual is hidden in the pride of the nation (society), and it is responsibility of the society to look after every person one by one. That is to say; nobody can do such a work, which harms the society, or due to which, the society is confused i.e. rebellion, refractoriness, theft or obstinacy etc. These all acts are the crimes, which upset the society. So punishment of these sins is very severe, as it has been described in this Chapter. And it is an injunction for society that after proving the crime, the criminal should not be remitted any more.

The society is hurt always due to evil-deeds of the people. The form of it is that either an individual or some persons mutually hold the law in their own hands and try to press others, and the Messenger (peace be upon Him) and His Scripture (Torah, Gospel, Quran) are thrown behind and they desire to issue their own command. Its reason is that, at first the society gets out of order due to immoralities of the rich people, and it (the society) cannot watch its own all individuals, and has not power to punish the evildoers. After that, the individuals take time by the forelock to play their games openly and commit as they wish. It was done in this way by the Jews and the Christians, so after telling their condition, it has been described that the Muslims should be saved from like their evil deeds.

Corruption of the society is root cause of the mankind’s destruction and principally it is spoiled always by the wicked deeds of the wealthy people. Everyone will be asked about it on the Day of Resurrection, and every Messenger (peace be upon Him) will be asked at first because He is the greatest Watching of the society in the world, “Did you not establish the society upon the correct principles?” It is the meaning of asking from Jesus (peace be upon Him) that those mischievous people be punished effectively, who had confused the society, after proving His (peace be upon Him) innocence.

This question will be asked from Jesus (peace be upon Him) particularly because His nation is the most criminal in the corruption of the human society. As though, the question from Jesus (peace be upon Him) is preface of His nation’s punishment. The Jews are also criminal because they tried their best not to establish the human society in accord with the instructions by Jesus (peace be upon Him) and they left no stone unturned to trouble Him (peace be upon Him).

Then, it is the crime of those both nations that they rejected the Last and Final Law i.e. Holy Qur’aan, according to which, the human society was required to be established, and they continued their devastating activities. The Muslims should take warning from their circumstances, and as the Jews and the Christians (both) disappointed their Messengers (peace be upon Them), following them, the Muslims should not hurt their and Allah’s Last and Beloved Messenger, Muhammad, (Who is Mercy for the entire worlds (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘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.)

The lessons of Surah ‘Al-Maaa-‘idah have finished with the last lesson, now we are going to review it and see the lessons taught by the Chapter (Surah) under discussion. Actually, its all contents revolve around only one topic. We can reap full advantage from this Surah; live a happy and successful life, if we understand that particular topic.

It is inborn nature of the human being that he desires to fulfill his every desire without any hindrance. He thinks that he should make any such plan, what he wills, that may be done and there should be no stoppage in its attainment. Moreover, everyone should regard his assent, follow him and help him in gaining his object. The Holy Qur’aan accepts this nature, but educates along with it that independence of everybody should be bound of any rule and plan; otherwise he is an animal, not a mankind.

This rule is called “Law” and it has been made by Him, Who created the human being (The Creator). Accepting it, is called “the Belief”. The name of that Law is “Holy Qur’aan” and Its Maker is Allah Almighty. In the beginning of this Chapter, it has been commanded “Abide by the Law”. It has been told in this way that the name of accepting, Allah and Qur’aan, is “Belief”. Accomplish your responsibilities. It means “your personal freedom is nothing before “this Law” and there can be none maker of the Law but Allah Almighty. It is the first sign of the Belief, without which, nobody can say him/herself “a Believer”.

It is the condition to enforce the Law that some traditions are established, and then everyone is admonished that none should commit against these customs. It is the responsibility of the entire nation as aggregate to watch this matter. In short, the Maker of the rules of Law is Allah Almighty, but the responsibility of watching them is upon the entire nation.

It is known that the real things, which need special attention in the world, are four:

1.    Allah Almighty  

2.    His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and the Law i.e. Holy Qur’aan and the Sayings of the Messenger (peace be upon Him), which explain this Law  

3.    The living being (mankind)   

4.    The entire nation. 

Allah Almighty and Holy Qur’aan are Eternal, Immovable and Unchangeable at Their own places. Mutual relations between the living being and the society are required to be established according to the principles commanded by Them (Allah Almighty and Holy Qur’aan). It is duty of the society to arrange properly for every person to cause to understand the Law perfectly, and that is called Education.

It is the duty of the living being (every person) that he/she should be bound to act according to the traditions/customs, established by the society, and when one observes that any tradition has become contrary to the Law, then one should inform the society properly and leave that tradition personally. This lesson has been caused to understand in this Surah and commanded that old nations erred in either understanding or acting upon them. Those errors have been manifested, so that we may be saved from them.

(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

119. قَالَ ٱللَّهُ هَٰذَا يَوْمُ يَنفَعُ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ صِدْقُهُمْ ۚ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ۚ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

119.  Allah will say: This is a Day in which their truthfulness will profiteth the truthful, for them are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased unto Him. That is the great triumph. 120.  unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is therein, and He is Able to do all things.

Commentary

After hearing the explanation from the Messenger Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the Judgment Day, Allah Almighty will decide: This is a Day, which is useful and profitable only for those people, who went Straight forward during their worldly life and they will reap advantage of their truthfulness. The sinners, the evildoers and the disbelievers have not been described in this decision, because their condition can be understood and known easily from this Judgment. There is no need to mention clearly about it, and it is the Way of Narration, which discloses its Disposition as it is only of the Word of Allah Almighty.  

It is commanded that today is the Day in which the persons, who did good, will be rewarded good retaliation of their good deeds, and those, who obeyed the orders of Allah Almighty sincerely and truthfully, will get its fruit as remuneration. There are Gardens for their dwelling, underneath the trees and courtyards which, the rivers of clear and transparent water flow. Then these Gardens will never be snatched from them. Moreover those will be granted to them, so that they may live in to them forever. It is the biggest success of a human being. These rewards will be bestowed by Allah Almighty; in Whose Sovereignty are the heavens, the earth and all the things exist in to them. There is nothing, which may be out of His Divine Power.

Urgent request of Mercy before God - Quran Chapter 5 – 118 (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-764) - درس قرآن

Quran Chapter 5 – 118 (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-764) - درس قرآن 

Urgent request of Mercy before God

Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)

‘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.)

118. إِن تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ ۖ وَإِن تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
 

118.  If Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves); lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, the Wise.

118.  ‘In  Tu-‘azzib-hum  fa-‘innahum  ‘ibaaduK.  Wa  ‘in-  Tagfirlahum  fa-‘innaKa  ‘Antal-  ‘Aziizul-  Hakiim.

Commentary

It is the best way of requesting for forgiveness of a criminal before Him, Who is The Mighty and The Wise. When the crime of the criminal is proved and the Ruler is such a Person, Whose decision can neither be put off and nor can it be appealed, then the person, who is going to recommend the culprit, can say only these words, which have been used here by Jesus (peace be upon Him). 

Whatever has been described by the Messenger Jesus (peace be upon Him) till now, is such a clear description, after which, it is incumbent to fix the Christians that they are proved blameworthy. There is no doubt in this matter that Jesus and His Mother, Mary (peace be upon Them) were made worshipped in the world.

There may be only two reasons of determining Them (Jesus and Mary - peace be upon Them) worshipped:

1.    Either that, Jesus (peace be upon Him), who was Messenger of Allah Almighty, said Himself to the people: Worship Me and My Mother, Mary also along with the Worship of God.

2.    Or that, the Christians selected this path at their own without command of Jesus (peace be upon Him). It has been proven from His (peace be upon Him) answer that He is Innocent.

Likewise, it appears also from this discussion that actually, this act (the belief in a plurality of God) has been invented and committed by the Christians themselves, so they are accused.

The Messenger Christ (peace be upon Him) will request Allah Almighty with the same reflection: O Lord! If Thou punish them, there is none, who may challenge Thou, because Thou art their fully Master and they are Thy friendless and unable slaves. They were entrapped by Satan and the biggest crime has been committed by them. If Thou wish to forgive them, Thou art Able to do so because they are Thy slaves. None can prevent Thou in this condition because Thou art the Most Powerful. Thou Knowest also very well that there is no inconvenience, if Thou forgive them because Thou art the Mighty and hath reached the depth of every matter, and Knower of the result of every act.

It is the best method to request a Mighty, a Knower and a Seer Ruler for His mercy and kindness that as much as it may be possible, one should admit His unlimited power and strength, and own helplessness.
