Race of mankind

Chapter ‘Al-‘A’raaf (The Heights) – Surah – 7)

‘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 نَّفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّىٰهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِيفًافَمَرَّتْ بِهِۦ فَلَمَّآ أَثْقَلَت دَّعَوَا ٱللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ ءَاتَيْتَنَا صَٰلِحًا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ 189

189.  He it is Who did create you from a single soul, and therefrom did make his mate that he might take rest in her. Then when he covered her, she bore a light burden, and she passed (unnoticed) with it, but when it became heavy they cried unto Allah, their Lord, saying: If Thou givest unto us aright we shall be of the thankful.

189.  Huwallazii  khalaqakum-min-nafsinw-waahidatinw-wa  ja-‘ala  minhaa  zaw-jahaa  liyaskuna  ‘ilayhaa.  Falammaa  tagash-shaahaa  hamalat  hamlan  khafii-fan-  famarrat  bih.  Falammaaa  ‘as-qalad-da-‘a-wAllaaha  Rabbahumaa  la-‘in  ‘aatay-taNaa  saalihal-lanakuu-nanna  minash-Shaakiriin.

Commentary

Nafsin – (a soul), this word has passed in the first verse of Surah NISAAA’ (Chapter – 4). Entire human beings are children of one Father, whose name is “Adam” (peace be upon Him). From Him Allah Almighty created His wife named Eve (peace be upon Her).

Tagash-shaa – (covered), it is a past tense and the origin of this word is tagshii which has been derived from gash-yun. Gash-yun means “to cover from above, to spread over, to conceal”. Here; it aims “The act of sexual intercourse by man with his woman”.

There is a description regarding creation of human being in this verse. Allah Almighty created the first mankind “Adam” (peace be upon Him) by His Omnipotence. Then, for his rest and comfort, He made his mate (woman named Eve) from him (peace be upon Them). After that, He arranged to originate the lineage of their children by means of the meeting of men and women together.

It is commanded: We created the entire humankind from a single soul (Adam – peace be upon Him), and from his body, We made his wife (Eve – peace be upon her) so that; he might live accompanying her with rest and peace. Then, birth and lineage of their children began. At first, man meets to his woman to fulfill his natural sensual desire. In the beginning, the woman bears a light burden in her womb and continues her works as usual like sitting, standing, walking and other routine works.

When some period is passed with that burden, the weight of her belly increases, then they express their wishes before God Almighty: Our Lord! Give unto us aright, healthy and conducive child, we shall be very thankful to You.

Only Allah is Knower of the Unseen

Chapter ‘Al-‘A’raaf (The Heights) – Surah – 7)

‘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)

قُل لَّآ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِى نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَوْ كُنتُ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْغَيْبَ لَٱسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَمَا مَسَّنِىَ ٱلسُّوٓءُ إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّانَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ 188

188.  Say: For myself I have no power to benefit, nor power to hurt, save that which Allah willeth. And had I knowledge of the Unseen, I should have abundance of wealth, and adversity would not touch me. I am but a warner, and a bearer of good tidings unto folk who believe.

Commentary

The human being remains in search of worldly profit every time. He wants to know before doing every work: Whether this work will be consequently profitable or hurtful? When Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) began to describe the people: After death, actions of every individual will be examined and those people who committed sin, will be punished properly, then the people considered from it that He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has been explaining about the future, so they should ask from Him: What should we purchase now which may be expensive in future. Those of them who were of higher thought, they began to ask about the destined Hour. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has been taught the answer to their questions in this verse, in which the grace of Prophet-hood has been manifested entirely and it has been described that: “Telling you about - profit or loss in your business OR correct time of any happening” is not the duty of any Prophet (peace be upon Him). His only duty is to warn those who disbelieve and cause to hear the good tidings unto the folk who believe.

It is commanded to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) that He should say to them who question: While I have no power and knowledge regarding my own profit or loss, good or bad, then; what shall I tell you about your profit or loss? Whenever Allah Almighty wishes, He informs Me timely about good or bad and loss or profit of anything. Had I knowledge of the future, I should have reaped abundance of advantages, and misfortune would not come close to Me. Neither would I regret ever and nor receive any kind of hurt. And you know that the happiness reaches Me as well as the grief. I feel pain like you and comfort too. However, I have been given this duty that I should warn and frighten you from such deeds, result of which will be not good for you after death. And those of you who will embrace Islam, I should give them good tidings that their end will be good.

Allah Almighty has bestowed very more science and knowledge to the last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) than every human being, but that is maximum regarding welfare of the Hereafter. About this world, Allah Almighty commands to Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Say to the people! The knowledge which I have, is not My personal; but given by Allah Almighty. I do not want to say anything to you from Me side. I shall describe you only that about which God Almighty will command Me. Other than that, I know nothing.

When the Judgment Day will come to pass?

Chapter ‘Al-‘A’raaf (The Heights) – Surah – 7)

‘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)

 يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّى لَا يُجَلِّيهَالِوَقْتِهَآ إِلَّا هُوَ ثَقُلَتْ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَا تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلَّا بَغْتَةً يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِىٌّ عَنْهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَايَعْلَمُونَ 187

187.  They ask thee of the (destined) Hour, when will it come to pass? Say: Knowledge thereof is with my Lord only. He Alone will manifest it at its proper time. It is heavy in the heavens and the earth. It cometh not to you save unawares. They question thee as if thou couldst be well informed thereof. Say: Knowledge thereof is with Allah only, but most of mankind know not.

187.  Yas-‘aluunaka  ‘anis-Saa-‘ati  ‘ayyaana  mur-saahaa.  Qul  ‘innamaa  ‘ilmu-haa  ‘inda  Rabbii.  Laa  yu-jalliihaa  li-waq-tihaaa  ‘illaa  Huu.  Saqulat  fis-samaawaati  wal-‘arz.  Laa  ta’-tiikum  ‘illaa  bag-tah.  Yas-‘aluunaka  ka-‘annaka  ha-fiyyun  ‘anhaa.  Qul  ‘innamaa  ‘ilmuhaa  ‘indAllaahi  wa  laakinna  ‘aksaran-naasi  laa  ya’-lamuun.

Commentary

‘As-Saa-‘atu – (a very little part of the time, which is called “a Moment”). Here; it aims “the Time of general Resurrection”, when accounts of every human being will be taken.

Mur-saa – (destined, settlement, to be set up, taking place), this word has been derived from ‘arsaaa’, which means “to settle, to fix on”. And this word has been taken from raswun, which means “to stop, to stay, to remain and to last”. Mursaa and ‘arsaaa’ have the same meanings. Here; it aims “coming of the destined Hour to pass, the Time and the Day of Resurrection”.

Ha-fiyyun – (to be well informed, going to Endeavor), origin of this word is hafyun, which means “to turn the attention (to)”. Here it aims “one is going to seek about”.

The people were desirous to know about the destined Hour (the Time of Resurrection) that; when will it come to pass? It has been described about it already in the earlier Scriptures. Holy Qur’an caused to draw more attention upon it. The last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) caused to hear by reciting the Holy Qur’an to the people. The people considered that He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has reflected thoughtfully in this matter. Therefore, they asked from Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Tell us! When the destined Hour will come to pass? They have been replied in this verse.

It is commanded that; coming of the Destined Hour (General Resurrection) to pass has been kept hidden.  Nobody knows about it save Allah Almighty. It is sufficient to say for correction of the people that it is sure that the Time and the Day of Resurrection shall come to pass. Moreover, there is a policy in keeping the destined Hour secret, which is; the people should remain frightened from It every time. When that Hour will come; Allah Almighty will show It to the entire people openly. It will be the heaviest accident among the heavens and the earth. No creature is able to bear Its knowledge. If the Time of Its happening is known by any creature, it will become difficult for them to perform their works. Whenever that Time will come, it will come suddenly and in the condition of unawares. The Messengers (peace be upon Them) do not try to know such matters, which are not described to Them by Allah Almighty Himself. Complete knowledge about it is with God Almighty only. Maximum people do not know that: What is the advisability in keeping that Hour secret?

مَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِىَ لَهُۥ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِى طُغْيَٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ 186

Commentary

It was stated previously that there are many things in the world for them who think, from which they can get correct results by means of correct meditation. They can know that one should engage his attention unto the charming things of the world only as much that his heart should not be averse from useful things. Moreover, actual attention should remain unto them, because comfort and ease, tastes and relishes of the world are temporary only. Wealth and property, honor and dignity etc. are the things of coming and going – some- time those are with me and sometimes with you. The mind should be engaged in those things which will stay with the mankind all the time and should be base of everlasting joy. What are these things? These things cannot be attained by the human being from anywhere else. These can be learned only from the Messengers (peace be upon Them). Their provisions are held in the Scriptures of God Almighty. If really, the humankind is in search of perpetual peace, endless ease, satisfaction and pleasure, he should bear the Sayings (Commands) of God’s last Messenger; Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) in his mind. He should begin reciting the Holy Qur’an with full commitment and determination, and obey Its all Commands unhesitatingly. Alas! There are innumerable people who call everyone towards the world but only some individuals are who invite unto the Holy Qur’an. Producers of worldly things have goods; ready to give with immediate profit, whereas, those who call to arrange the Hereafter, have mere promises, only warnings and hope of future advantage. The law of the people of the world is “A bird in hand is worth two in the bush”, whereas; behavior of the believers is “worshiping God continuously with patience and being hopeful of Allah’s Bounty. They sacrifice existing benefits in search of His Willingness; and give everything in His Way, whichever they possess. Can anybody think that someone will incline unto Allah Almighty in such difficulty? Really; it is very difficult.

It has been commanded in this verse that changing the heart from worldly casual benefits and inclining towards the benefits of the Hereafter is not in the power of any human being. It can be done by Allah Almighty only. If He lets someone entangled in the world and does not guide unto the Straight Path, then there is no such individual who has power to guide him.

From this verse, an Established and Prescribed Order of God Almighty is known about this matter that “Many Signs and Tokens have been produced before every individual in the world besides the Messengers (peace be upon Them) and the Scripture of God Almighty. None has been forced. If any individual wants to remain entangled in the worldly deceptions and is unable to see above it, Allah Almighty will leave him as he wishes, and he will be wandering blindly in his contumacy, and at last; he will die. His wealth, power, dignity, force, pomp and show even that; nothing will be helpful to save him.  

Here; it is easy to say that the Hereafter is nothing. Reward and punishment, the Heaven and the Hell – all are self-made talks, but if these are proved true, then which is the abode of those people who deny and ignore? Allah Almighty save us on the Day of Resurrection from this affliction and repentance; and guide us in the world.
