Quran Chapter 6 – 82 (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-841) - درس قرآن

Who is satisfied?

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)

    ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلْأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ 82

82.  Those who believe and obscure not their belief by wrongdoing, theirs is safety, and they are rightly guided.

82.  ‘Alla-ziina  ‘aamanuu  wa  lam  yal-bisuuu  ‘iimaanahum-  bi-zulmin  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  lahumul-‘amnu  wa  hum-Muh-taduun.

Commentary

Lam  yal-bisuuu – (do not obscure, do not intermix, do not amalgamate). Bi-zulmin – (by wrongdoing), here it aims “the act; due to which, disorder occurs in the belief” as “belief in a plurality of God, disobedience of Allah Almighty, to ask someone for protection instead of God, steadfastness upon wicked deeds etc.”

Muh-taduun – (the rightly guided), it is the passive participle which has been derived from ‘ahtadaaa’. The origin of ‘ahtadaaa’ is hidaayah. Hisaayat means “to show the correct way, to guide towards the straight path”. ‘Ahtadaaa’ means “to find the right way”.

The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) of Allah Almighty was commanded in the previous verse that He should tell them: Why should I fear your gods. These helpless (idols) are lifeless and feeble. I should fear Allah Almighty Who has full power and strength. While you do not fear such Powerful God, then what is need of Mine to fear your helpless gods?

Then it was asked: Tell Me (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) if you have some sense and wisdom; whether are you in danger or am I? It is obvious that your gods can mar never Me and nothing of Mine. So I do not have any fear of them, but Allah Almighty can punish you in this world as well as in the Hereafter, so you are in danger every time. Quote now! Whether thoughtlessness and peace should be to Me or you? The reply of this question has been disclosed very clearly in this verse.

It is commanded that the persons who believed in Allah Almighty and had faith heartily in it that there is none able to be worshipped but He only, and then insisted upon it and believed, and then did not commit any such act due to which any confusion occurs in the belief. For those people there is ease, comfort, rest and peace forever, because the person, whose Protector is Allah Almighty, none can harm him. These are the people who are rightly guided, and the person, who goes the right path, is saved from the distresses of the way and after reaching his destination, is awarded with comfort and peace.

It can be understood clearly from this verse that there are uncountable confusions in the artificial things of the world. The person, who desires to be saved from distresses and reaches any such place, where he may avail all sorts of ease and comfort, then he should obey the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and believe in Allah Almighty and then adopt the way of life, about which the Noble Qur’aan guided.

If anyone saved his/her Belief until death, certainly would reach the place of comfort and satisfaction. And he/she will also achieve deliverance from useless confusions in the world.

Quran Chapter 6 – 81 (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-840) - درس قرآن

Idolaters are in danger

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)

    وَكَيْفَ أَخَافُ مَآ أَشْرَكْتُمْ وَلَا تَخَافُونَ أَنَّكُمْ أَشْرَكْتُم بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطَٰنًا فَأَىُّ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِٱلْأَمْنِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ81

81.  How should I fear that which ye set up beside Him, when ye fear not to set up beside Allah that for which He hath revealed unto you no warrant? Which of the two factions hath more right to safety? (Answer me that) if ye have knowledge.

81.  Wa  kayfa  ‘akhaafu  maaa  ‘ash-raktum  wa  laa  takhaa-fuuna  ‘anna-kum  ‘ash-raktum-  Billaahi  maa  lam  yunazzil  bihii  ‘alay-kum  sultaanaa. Fa-‘ayyul-farii-qayni  ‘ahaqqu  bil-‘amn. ‘In kuntum  ta’-lamuun.

Commentary

Sultaanaa – (warrant), sultaan means overcoming power and authority. He is brave and powerful, who has strong proof or sway to say something. Therefore, it is translated as warrant or authority. It also means permission, jurisdiction and ruling, because all of them provide bravery and power.

In the previous verse, the situation was discussed in which Abraham (peace be upon Him) replied the idolaters (who used to frighten Him from the punishment of their gods): The fear should be only from that, which has some power. Your gods are lifeless, while they don’t have even life, then what is the mention of power?

Prophet Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has been commanded in this verse that He should say to the idolaters: How should I fear from your base and helpless gods, who don’t have even a little bit of power, and you know it well that neither can they give you anything, nor snatch. Then how the sense can permit to fear from lifeless and powerless things willing or unwilling?

Now look at yourselves: You do not fear Allah Almighty, whereas He has full Power, Strength and Authority to punish you, and only He is your Owner and Lord, and you are unable to go out from His limits for escaping yourselves. He is your Ruler. You are never permitted by Him to beg from others beside Him (Allah Almighty), and consider useless things equal to Him, and begin to think falsely that He needs helpers, and that He can do Alone nothing.

You try to frighten Me (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) from those lifeless and powerless things, whom you have ascribed partners of Allah Almighty, whereas I cause to fear you from the Omnipotent and most Powerful God. Think now! From whom you say Me to be afraid, are quite powerless, and about Whom I say you to be frightened, is the Most Powerful.

In such condition, who from both of us will get satisfaction of the heart and rest of thought? You claim that you have knowledge and are wise people. If you have knowledge then tell Me (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Whether those people will dwell with satisfaction, comfort and peace in the world and Hereafter who, leaving all, worship and believe in only One God – Allah Almighty, Who is Omnipotent, or those who fear from many self-fabricated gods?

80.  His people argued with him. He said: Dispute ye with me concerning Allah when He hath guided me? I fear not at all that which ye set up beside Him unless my Lord willeth aught. My Lord includeth all things in His knowledge. Will ye not then remember?

Commentary

Haaaj-jaHuu – (argued with Him), its origin is Hujjah, which aims “to argue, to criticize, to adduce argument”. The word Muhaajjah has also been derived from it which means “to spoil the argument of others and emphasize one’s own argument”, result of which is nothing but a dispute. Therefore, aim of this word is “to criticize or to dispute”.

It is a characteristic of the human being that he settles a town along with other humankind mutually who are also alike him, and after a few days, those people of the town establish a style of living. Slowly and gradually, they become habitual in such a manner that they think never to leave it. This system of living mutually with one another is called the customs and the traditions.

Some affairs in the customs and traditions are right and some are wrong. To correct those wrong customs and traditions, Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) were sent by Allah Almighty. They faced hard that the people didn’t want to step back from those customs and traditions. They considered their wrong customs and traditions as correct, and rejected the reforms adhered by the Messengers (peace be upon Them) and the Messengers (peace be upon Them) continued the effort to teach them.

Abraham (peace be upon Him) was Prophet of Allah Almighty.  He (peace be upon Him) observed that having faith in the liar gods has prevailed among the people and its correction is incumbent. It was described in the previous verses that He (peace be upon Him) determined that the idols, the stars, the moon, the sun and all other things are unable to be God.

Abraham (peace be upon Him) said to the people that they should give up worship of idols and ascribed partners of Allah Almighty, and believe in only one God, but they were accustomed to worship many gods. Therefore, they began to criticize Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) and said: How is it possible?

The dispute among Abraham (peace be upon Him) and His people has been described in this verse. It is commanded that His nation didn’t obey Him and began to argue. Abraham (peace be upon Him) said: You want Me to believe in the liar gods instead of Allah Almighty like you, How can it be possible?

“Allah Almighty has guided Me towards the right path of His acquaintance by showing His clear signs. So, I (peace be upon Him) find everything helpless before Him, then how can I consider them My God and Creator giving up Allah Almighty? Saying of you people, “If You will not acknowledge our gods then they will punish You angrily”. I don’t believe in them. I am sure that they can do nothing against Me, Neither they can profit Me nor hurt. However, Allah Almighty is Able to do whatsoever He desires, He is My Lord and He is well Aware of everyone’s necessities”.

78.  And when he saw the sun uprising, he said: This is my Lord! This is biggest of them all. And when it set, he exclaimed: O my people! Lo! I am quit of all that ye associate (with Him). 79.  Lo! I have turned my face toward Him Who created the heavens and the earth, as one by nature upright, and I am not of the idolaters.

Commentary

When it was dawn and the sun manifested with great splendor, the doors and the walls were eliminated, the eyes were in the state of being dazzled due to its glitter, then, Abraham (peace be upon Him) said: Perhaps it (the sun) is able to be my Lord, it is the biggest and splendid despite all of them. At the end of the day, that faded, set entirely, slowly and gradually.

At that time Abraham (peace be upon Him) decided: while the stars, the moon and the sun (all of them) are helpless then nothing of them can be my Lord. So I gave up absolutely all of them and O People! Listen to Me (peace be upon Him): while such raised and bright things cannot be God, then, in which number are your these idols? I deny your all these gods and bow My head before My Lord, Allah – The Wise and The Omnipotent. And I exclaim that I am quit of all that you associate with Him.

Let’s think now deeply on these verses. Abraham (peace be upon Him) saw the sun in the day and thought about its dignity and splendor in the awe-stricken condition that it is biggest even from the stars and the moon, sitting alone at height and it has surrounded the entire things with its own light and heat. Certainly it would be My Lord. At the end of the day, when it set also, then He (peace be upon Him) addressed the people and said: It is sufficient to understand. I declare that I am quit of your all self-fabricated gods and I have turned my face from all things towards only That Majestic Creator, Who created the heavens, the earth and all the creatures among them without any pattern as one by nature upright, and I do not ascribe anyone or anything as associate of Him.

Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) taught this way to the human beings for making the sense and wisdom useful and named those people “Muslims” who turn their whole attention to this side by knowing likewise Allah Almighty.

76.  When the night grew dark upon him he beheld a star. He said: This is my Lord. But when it set, he said: I love not things that set. 77.  And when he saw the moon uprising, he exclaimed: This is my Lord. But when it set, he said: Unless my Lord guide me, I surely shall become one of the folk who are astray.

Commentary

Janna – (covered), it is an active verb, Origin of which is Jannun. Jannun means “to cover, to hide”. The word Januun is a production of the same origin, which means “concealment, to disappear, to set, to be hidden”. The word Jinn (demon) has also been derived from it, which is a hidden creature and cannot be seen with human eyes. Here it aims “to be hidden in darkness”.

‘Afala – (set, disappeared), it is an intransitive verb, and its origin is ‘Afuul (to set, to disappear, to conceal). The word “’afala” is also from its Subject; that is to say “a doer, an agent, a nominative”.

It was described in the verse of previous lesson # 836 that when Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) gave up the idols; knowing them useless, then Allah Almighty brightened His wisdom more and He understood that not only the idols are useless but entire things of the world, whether those are seen very splendid, are not able of Divinity (to be God), though the people have considered them also gods. It was still childhood of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) that He began to think in this Matter. The same has been described in this verse and forthcoming verses.  

It is commanded that He (peace be upon Him) saw a bright star in the sky during the darkness of the night. He thought: Perhaps it is God and my Lord. After some time, when it disappeared, His heart decided: Such things which set, cannot be God. Later on, He (peace be upon Him) saw the moon uprising and imagined about its Godhead by looking its splendor. That also vanished after a while, and then He said: Unless my Lord guide me towards His own Path, I surely shall become one of the folk who are astray. This event of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) is a fine allegory for thinking about The Noble Personage of Allah Almighty.

Commentary

‘Aazar – it is the name of Prophet Abraham’s (peace be upon Him) father, who was an idolater and his entire nation was also idolaters.

‘Asnaam – (idols), it is plural of sanam, which means an idol. Sanam is called to a fixed bodily form of any imaginary thing. The idols are also called ‘asnaam (sanam), because those are statues of imaginary gods.  

‘Aalihah – it is plural of Allah, literal meaning of ‘ilaah. A thing, which touches the heart deeply, aims “the worshipped”.

Malakuut – the system of whole world is called Malak. Small arrangements to this chief are called Malakuut. Everything in the world has its own governing system and then, this system is subordinate to a big collective governor. The first system is Malakuut, while the other is Malak.  

It was commanded in the previous verses that you should ask from the infidels: Who did guide you to worship the idols deserting from Allah Almighty? The person, who has a very common sense, will think certainly that neither the idols can profit anyone and nor hurt.   

A narration about Prophet Abraham is being described in this verse that He (peace be upon Him) recognized Allah Almighty by observing the Tokens in the Universe and contrary to Them, found the idols quite useless and worthless. He (peace be upon Him) caused to understand the same to His father also.

It is commanded: Behold! In what manner, Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) said the word of wisdom to His father that: Do you worship these self-made and invented statues and idols, which are made of mud and stone etc. and determine them as your gods and worshipped? I know that you and your folk have been entangled in an open error manifest. What stupidity would be more than it that you make a statue with your own hands and then begin to worship it?   

Next to above discussion, Allah Almighty says: When Our Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) gave up worshipping idols, then did We begin to show Him the secrets and the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and described Him that every that thing, which will be seen by You, has its own system and arrangement, and then these all systems have been running under the control of a Splendid System, which has been established by a Sole-Controller – Allah Almighty.

Commentary

Khalaqa – (to create, to make), it has been derived from khalaq, the actual meaning of which is “to prepare any other thing after clipping a part from any larger thing as, a tailor makes a shirt from a cut piece of cloth, which was roughly clipped from a big piece of cloth”. The entire heavens and the earth have been created from one thing duly clipped with correct guess. However, there is a little difference between above both things i.e. the piece of cloth comes short after clipping for the shirt, but that thing does not lessen, from which the heavens, the earth and the whole other creatures among them have been created after clipping.

Suur – As per Arabic language, the Suur means “a (musical) horn prepared duly excavated from its inner side”, a very powerful sound comes out from it if its first end is blown by mouth. Like this, a thing (the Trumpet) is ready in the Invisible World, which will be blown by an Angel, named Israfil (peace be upon Him). Everything will be perished due to its frightful sound. Then, whenever Allah Almighty will sanction, that Angel (peace be upon Him) will blow in the Trumpet again, the entire human beings (from the beginning to the end) will be reproduced due to this sound. That will be the Day of Resurrection. The word Suur has been used for our knowledge only, otherwise, it is not easy to understand its reality at this time.

It was commanded in the previous verse: You should say to the idolaters! We cannot be the worshippers of idols because we have known the True Worshipped. Following virtues and excellence of That Original Worshipped have been described in these verses:

1.    Allah Almighty is the Lord of the entire Worlds.

2.    He it is before Whom, the entire mankind will be accountable and gathered on the Day of Resurrection.

3.    He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in Truth.

4.    He is the Creator by saying the one word only “Kun” (Be).

5.    His Word is the Truth. Surely, that is done, what He says.

6.    His will be the Sovereignty on the Day of Resurrection.

7.    He is Knower of the Invisible and the Visible.
