Allah, Exalted be He, can swear by whatever thing of the creatures, but the created being can swear only by Allah. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah, Exalted be He, swears also by the self-reproaching soul that always reproaches itself for its underperformance concerning fulfilling its obligations towards Allah. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The self-reproaching soul always blames itself concerning its past deeds. When it does good deeds, it will say, ‘Why do not I do more righteous deeds?’ and when it does fewer sins, it will say, ‘Why do not I do fewer and fewer sins?’ There are three types of souls: the soul that is at peace, which is always reassured by remembering Allah and obeying His commands, the evil-inciting soul, which incites to do evil deeds, and the self-reproaching soul, which blames itself for doing evil deeds and not doing more and more righteous deeds.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In sum, Allah, swears by the Day of Judgment and the self-reproaching soul that the Day of Judgment will certainly take place and people will be recompensed for their deeds on that day. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasan_al-Basri" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Al-Hassan Al-Basri</a>, may Allah have mercy on him, said, ‘75:2 And I do swear by the self-reproaching soul. By Allah, the believer always blames himself. He says, ‘What did I mean by saying such and such word? What did I mean by eating such and such food? What did I want by having such and such self-talk? And the evildoer will live his life without blaming himself.’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:3 Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:4 Yes, We are able to shape again his fingers. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The interrogation is for criticism and reproach.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Does man think that Allah will not be able to gather his bones and return them to their former condition after their disintegration? Such belief is untrue. Indeed, Allah will gather the bones of man and return them to their former condition after their disintegration on the Day of Judgment when Allah will gather all creatures for reckoning and recompense.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Indeed, Allah, Exalted be He, is able to shape again the smallest parts of man such as his fingers, and return them to their former condition. And He is able to shape again all other parts of man no matter how big or small they may be. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The bones refer to the bodies of human beings because they provide shape and support for the body. The disbelievers consider returning the bodies to their former condition after their integration improbable. Allah, Exalted be He, says, interpretation of the meaning:</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">36:78 And he has presented for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, ‘Who shall give life to the bones when they are decayed?’ </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">36:79 Say, ‘He shall give life to them Who created them the first time; He knows all creation.’</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In other words, Allah, Exalted be He, swears by the Day of Judgment, which will certainly take place, and the self-reproaching soul, which always blames itself for doing evil deeds, and not doing more and more righteous deeds that He will gather the bones of people on the Day of Judgment and resurrect them for reckoning and recompense. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:5 Nay! Man wants to go on sinning. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:6 He asks, ‘When shall be the Day of Resurrection?’</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The ayah portrays an example of tyranny and immorality of the disbelievers. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The disbeliever not only denies the occurrence of the Day of Judgment, but also insistently wants to go on sinning. He mockingly asks, ‘when shall be the Day of Judgment? You, o believers, claim that it shall come and fear reckoning and recompense on that day. If you are truthful, when will this day come?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Indeed, the condition of the disbeliever is strange. He is not only satisfied with his denial of the Day of Judgment, but also goes on sinning as if he will never die. This indicates how extremely the disbeliever insists on following the path of misguidance. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Dahhak_ibn_Qays_al-Shaybani" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ad-Dahak</a>, may Allah have mercy on him said, ‘75:5 Nay! Man wants to go on sinning. This is false hope. Man hopes; he says, ‘I shall live and attain such and such in life of this world.’ And he does not remember death.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In sum, disbelief in the occurrence of the Day of Judgment causes two suspicions: 1) The disbeliever thinks that the resurrecting of the dead after their bodies disintegrated for reckoning on the Day of Judgment is far-fetched. 2) The disbeliever goes on sinning in the life of this world without fearing punishment for his sins.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:7 Then, when the sight is dazzled, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:8 and the moon is eclipsed, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:9 and the sun and the moon are brought together,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:10 man shall say on that day, ‘Whither to flee?’</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The ayat mention some of the signs and horrors of the Day of Judgment to warn the disbelievers of the severe punishment awaiting them on that day. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The sight of man will dazzle when seeing the horrors of the Day of Judgment; the moon will eclipse and the sun and the moon will be brought together and their light will disappear on the Day of Judgment. Thus, there will be no night nor day and the system of the universe will change. When these things happen, man will be astonished and say, ‘Whither to flee? Is there any refuge to protect me from the horrors of the Day of the Reckoning and the severe punishment of the Day of Judgment? </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:11 No! There is no refuge. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:12 To your Lord on that day shall be the end.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Man’s hope to find a refuge to which he can flee from the punishment of Allah will fail. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">No! There is no refuge for man to protect him from the horrors of the Day of Judgment. No matter how long man will remain in the life of this world, he will die; no matter how long man will stay in his grave, he will be resurrected for reckoning and recompense for his deeds. Verily, man will return to his Lord, Allah, on the Day of Judgment and he will be recompensed for all his deeds, good or evil. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:13 Man shall be told on that day what he forwarded and deferred.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">On the Day of Judgment, man will be told about all his deeds that he forwarded and deferred. He will be told about the righteous and evil deeds that he did in the worldly life and recompensed justly according to them. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.islamicfinder.org/knowledge/biography/story-of-abdullah-ibn-abbas/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Abdul Allah Ibn Abbas</a>, may Allah have mercy on them, said, ‘75:13 Man shall be told on that day what he forwarded and deferred. Man will be told about the sins that he did and the righteous deeds that he failed to do.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">After mentioning the opinions of the scholars about the meaning of the forwarded and deferred deeds, Imam Muhammad Ibn Jarir At-Tabari said, ‘Man will be told about all his deeds in the worldly life, good or evil, and the deeds that left behind him, which people imitate him after his death, good or evil. He will also be told about the deeds that he forwarded, good or evil, and the deeds that he failed to do. Allah, Exalted be He, has not specified particular deeds to the exclusion of others. Thus, man will be told about all these deeds on the Day of Judgment.’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:14 Nay! Man is evidence against himself, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:15 even though he puts forth his excuses. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Nay! Man is evidence against himself and a witness against himself. He knows all evil deeds that he committed in the worldly life. Nothing will benefit and save him even if he puts forth his excuses. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The intended meaning is that man cannot flee from the consequences of his deeds no matter how hard he tries. His limbs will testify against him and his excuses will be rejected because they came too late. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://islamonline.net/en/abdullah-ibn-abbas/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Abdul Allah Ibn Abbas</a>, may Allah be pleased with them, said, ‘75:14 Nay! Man is evidence against himself, Man’s hearing, sight, hands, feet, and all his organs will testify against him.’ </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Learned Lessons from Surah Al-Qiyamah Ayah 1-15 </span></h2><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Allah, Exalted be He, swears by the Day of Judgment to magnify it, and He also swears by the self-reproaching soul, which blames itself for not doing more righteous deeds and avoiding sins.

The oath is to magnify the Day of Judgment and confirm that it will certainly take place at the time that Allah has assigned for its occurrence.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Surah Al-Qiyamah was revealed in Makkah. It contains forty ayahs. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Relationship between Surah between Surah Al-Mudathir and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qiyama" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Al-Qiyamah </a></span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">At the end of surah Al-Mudathir, the Hereafter is mentioned by referring to the fact that the disbelievers deny it and do not fear the punishment that will take place then. <b>74:53 No! But, they do not fear the Hereafter.</b> Then, surah Al-Qiyamah confirms that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signs_of_the_coming_of_Judgement_Day#:~:text=The%20day%20of%20judgement%20(or,)%20or%20jahannam%20(Hellfire)." rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the Day of Judgment</a> will take place and mentions some of its horrors. It also mentions what happens to man at the time of his death, how Allah, Exalted be He, created man, and that He can give life to the dead.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Most Important Topics Discussed in Surah Al-Qiyamah</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The theme of surah Al-Qiyamah is the same as the themes of surah that were revealed in Makkah. It focuses on confirming the occurrence of the Day of Judgment and reckoning on that Day. It also refers to some matters that will happen before man’s life ends and how Allah created man in the first place.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Surah Al-Qiyamah begins with swearing by the Day of Judgment and the self-reproaching soul to confirm the occurrence of the Day of Judgment and refute the claims of the deniers of its occurrence.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:1 I do swear by the Day of Resurrection. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:2 And I do swear by the self-reproaching soul.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:6 He asks, ‘When shall be the Day of Resurrection?’</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Then, Allah, Exalted be He, mentions some <a href="https://fiqh.islamonline.net/en/signs-of-the-day-of-judgment-past-present-future/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">signs of the Day of Judgment </a>and that it will certainly take place.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:7 Then, when the sight is dazzled, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:8 and the moon is eclipsed, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:12 To your Lord on that day shall be the end.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:13 Man shall be told on that day what he forwarded and deferred.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">75:14 Nay!

When they see the evildoers in Hell, they will ask them, ‘What led you into Saqar?’ The inquiry is for reprimand and rebuke.

Why do they insist on turning away from the Quran though its guidance and teachings will lead them to salvation in the worldly life and the Hereafter? The disbelievers turn away from the Quran and its guidance as if they were startled assess that fled from a lion. They act as if they run away from a danger though the truth is that they run away from what will bring them happiness in the life of this world and the Hereafter and throw themselves in the abyss of destruction and loss. Indeed, the disbelievers do not have any logical reason as turn away from the truth and the path of guidance. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:52 Rather, every person of them wants to be given pages, spread.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The disbelievers believe that the admonitions of the Quran are not sufficient, and they want that every person of them to be given spread pages to be able to read that Allah has commanded them to obey Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him]. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Their attitude proves that they are arrogant and refuse to follow the right path out of stubbornness since Messenger Muhammad has brought them sufficient proof confirming that he is the Messenger of Allah.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Qatada, may Allah be pleased with him, said, ‘[74:52 Rather, every person of them wants to be given pages, spread.] Some people said, ‘O Muhammad, if you want that we follow your religion, you should bring books to every one of us in which we are commanded to follow you.’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:53 No! But, they do not fear the Hereafter.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This is a criticism and a refutation of the disbelievers’ position. No! The matter is not as the disbelievers claim; rather, they do not fear the Hereafter and they do not believe in the occurrence of the Day of Judgment and reckoning on that day. If they fear the Hereafter, they will not want that everyone should be given a record. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:54 No! Indeed, it is a Reminder.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:55 Then, whoever wills shall remember it.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">No! Indeed, the matter is not as the disbelievers claim about the noble Quran when they say it is magic and the speech of a human being. Verily, the noble Quran is a reminder that Allah revealed to His creatures to remind them of the truth and guide them to the right path. The Quran contains guidance that guides man to what brings him happiness in the life of this world and the Hereafter. Then, whoever wills shall remember it and learn from its lessons and teachings. Verily, the Quran is easy, and complying with its commands and teachings is easy for whoever wants to benefit from its guidance. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In other words, O people, if you are truthful, determined, and prepared to benefit from the guidance of the Quran, go ahead without any delay. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:56 And they do not remember, except that Allah wills; He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Whoever wills shall remember and benefit from the lessons and admonitions of the Quran, but this remembrance will not take place save by the will of Allah. Allah, Exalted be He, is worthy to be feared by avoiding prohibitions and He is worthy to forgive the sins of those who obey His commands and seek His forgiveness. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In other words, benefiting from the guidance of the Quran will not occur save by the will of Allah because He is the Creator and everything in this universe is under His control. The will of the created beings has no value save by the will of Allah. </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Learned Lessons from Surah Al-Muddathir Ayah 38-56</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Every soul will be called to account for its deeds in the worldly life and recompensed according to them, good or evil.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Every soul can save itself from the punishment of Allah by believing in His Oneness and performing righteous deeds for His sake.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The people of the right, the believers in the Oneness of Allah, will be saved from Hell and its lasting torment.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Paradise will be the dwelling of the believers in Hereafter.

In addition, the wisdom behind this number is not clear and it increases the stubbornness of the disbelievers. Therefore, Allah, Exalted be He, mentions that the keepers of Hell do not belong to the same class of the dwellers of Hell so that they will not sympathize with them. They are not like human beings; rather, they are very strong angels, and one of them can destroy a complete town only with a single cry.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Tafsir</span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:30 Over it are nineteen.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:31 And We have not made the keepers of Hell but angels. And We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the Book should become certain and those who believe should increase in faith. And those who have been given the Book and the believers may not be in doubt. And those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say, ‘What does Allah want by this similitude?’ Thus, Allah lets go astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the hosts of your Lord save Him. And this is nothing but a reminder for people.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah, Exalted be He, refers to some aspects of His ability and wisdom in these ayat, and some afflictions that He tests His slaves with to distinguish those whose faith is strong from those whose faith is weak.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah, Exalted be He, has made the keepers of Hell strong, stern angels, which falsify and refute the claim of the disbelievers, like <a href="https://www.islamiclandmarks.com/makkah-haram-sharief/house-of-abu-jahal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">abu Jahl</a>, who claimed that every ten of among his people could defeat one of the keepers of Hell. Allah says that He has made the keepers of Hell strong angels, and no one can defeat or overpower them. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">It was said that a man called Aba Al-Ashad, Kildah Ibn Aseed Ibn Khalaf, said, ‘O people of Quraysh, you can take care of two of the keepers of Hell, and I shall suffice you seventeen of them.’ He said so because he admired his strength. Abu Al-Ashad was very strong. It was said that he used to stand over the cowhide and ten men would try to remove it from under his feet, but the cowhide would be torn into pieces and Abu Al-Ashad would never move from his place. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:31 And We have not made the keepers of Hell but angels. And We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve…</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah, Exalted be He, has made the keepers of Hell strong, tough angels, who never disobey His commands and do as they are commanded. No human being can overcome them, nor resist their commands. Allah has made the number of Hell’s keepers nineteen to test the disbelievers. This test increases their disbelief and denial. They would mock Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] when recited the Quran to them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Fakhr-ad-Din-ar-Razi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Imam Ar-Razi said</a>, ‘Making the number of the keepers of Hell nineteen has become a trial from two sides. First, the disbelievers say, ‘Why do they not become twenty? What is the reason for specifying this number?’ Second, the disbelievers will say, ‘How will those nineteen keepers of Hell be able to punish all created beings among the human beings and the jinn from the time Allah began their creation until the Day of Judgment? As for the believers, they will not give any attention to these two questions.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> …that those who have been given the Book should become certain and those who believe should increase in faith. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Moreover, Allah, Exalted be He, has made the number of the keepers of Hell nineteen to make those who have been given the Book among the Jews and the Christians certain that Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] is truthful about the revelation that he received from Allah. The former divine Scriptures mention this number of the keepers of Hell, just as the Quran does. In addition, Allah has made the number of the keepers of Hell nineteen so that the faith of the believers may increase and become firmer and stronger. They will be certain that their Prophet and Messenger Muhammad is truthful about the news of the unseen that he received through the divine revelation, as he told them the same number that was mentioned in the former divine Scripture. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Imam Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said, ‘Allah, Exalted be He, mentions that He has mentioned that the number of the keepers of Hell are nineteen to test the people. Those who have been given the Scripture will be certain that he is truthful because he says the exact number that was mentioned in the divine Scriptures that were revealed to their Prophets and Messengers. As for the believers, their faith will increase since they are certain that their Prophet and Messenger Muhammad is truthful.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And those who have been given the Book and the believers may not be in doubt.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This is an affirmation of what is mentioned in the previous part. Allah, Exalted be He, has made the number of the keepers of Hell nineteen to make the people of the Scripture certain of the truthfulness of Messenger Muhammad and make the faith of the believers increase. In addition, Allah, Exalted be He, has made their number nineteen to remove any doubt that the people of the Scripture and the believers may have. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say, ‘What does Allah want by this similitude?’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Those in whose hearts is a disease among the hypocrites and the disbelievers may say, ‘What does Allah want by making the number of the keepers of Hell nineteen? They will be astonished by the fact that the number of the keepers of Hell as if they are astonished at a similitude. They will seek to know the wisdom behind making the number nineteen. However, their intention is not to know why Allah has made the number of keepers of Hell nineteen. They say so to deny that Allah has revealed such a fact to His Prophet and Messenger Muhammad. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Thus, Allah lets go astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah lets go astray whom He wills among the disbelievers and the hypocrites, in whose hearts is a disease as they deny the fact that Allah has made the number of the keepers of Hell nineteen. Similarly, Allah guides those whom He wills among the believers to the right path as they believe in what Allah has revealed to His Messenger Muhammad. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And none knows the hosts of your Lord save Him. And this is nothing but a reminder for people.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, ‘None knows the hosts of your Lord save Him. No one knows how strong the hosts of your Lord are save Him. The keepers of Hell are nothing, but some of the soldiers of Allah. Indeed, Allah has made Hell, and the number of its keepers nothing but a reminder for people so that they may fear Him and obey His commands. Those who deeply think about Hell, its severe punishment, and its strong keepers will worship Allah sincerely, perform righteous deeds for the sake of Allah, and avoid His prohibitions. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">It should be noted that Allah does not force people to go astray; rather, the intended meaning is that Allah has made clear the path of guidance and misguidance and sent His Prophets and Messengers to invite people to follow the right path and warn them of the evil outcome of following the path of misguidance. After that, man is free to choose to follow the path of guidance or misguidance, but he will bear the fruits of his choice. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:32 No!

The matter is not as the disbelievers claim. They deny that the number of the keepers of Hell is nineteen and that Hell will be their abode. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">By the moon that Allah has determined its phases, by the night that Allah causes to retreat so that the day comes with its brightness, and by the dawn when it brightens. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah can swear by whatever thing of the creatures, but the created being can only swear by Allah. The oath to emphatically refute the claim of the disbelievers. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> 74:35 Indeed, it is one of the greatest things,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:36 a warning to mankind, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:37 to whoever of you wishes to go forward or lag behind. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Indeed, Hell with its nineteen keepers is one of the greatest things that deserve to be feared. Its torment is severe and no one can bear it. Verily, Hell is a warning to mankind. Those who wish to go forward by obeying the commands of Allah will do their best to avoid Hell. On the other hand, those who wish to lag behind by disobeying the commands of Allah will follow the path of misguidance, which will lead them to loss by entering Hell and suffering its severe torment. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Indeed, those whose hearts are covered by sins and whose souls seek only to satisfy their whims choose to lag behind. They willingly follow the path of misguidance whose end will be Hell. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Abdul Allah Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, said, ‘[74:37 to whoever of you wishes to go forward or lag behind.] Whoever wished to go forward by obeying the commands of Allah, and whoever wishes to lag behind will disobey Him.’ </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Learned Lessons from Surah Al-Muddathir Ayah 31-37</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The keepers of Hell are nineteen strong angels.

I shall suffice you. I shall deal with him and take revenge on him. I have given him ample wealth, but he has denied My blessings on him instead of thanking Me and believing in My Oneness.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The word ‘leave’ in the ayah is for warning and threatening. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> It was narrated that Al-Walid Ibn Al-Mughirah was one of the wealthiest people in Makkah.

This has made him powerful among his people and his opinion is greatly valued.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> In sum, Allah, Exalted be Him, gave Al-Walid Ibn Al-Mughirah all that man needs to live a comfortable life.

The severity of his punishment will be like the difficulty that one endures when he ascents a very high mountain or carries a very heavy object. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">It was said that the hard ascent means a mountain in Hell, which the dwellers of Hell will be asked to ascend. <a href="https://www.dawateislami.net/magazine/en/illuminated-stars/sayyiduna-abu-saeed-al-khudri" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri</a>, may Allah be pleased with him, said, ‘[74:17 I shall make him endure a hard ascent.] Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] said, ‘It is a mountain in Hell, which is made of fire and the dwellers of Hell be asked to ascend it.

Al-Walid said, ‘Why?’ Abu Jahl said, ‘They want to give it to you because you went to Muhammad, seeking some wealth from him.’ Al-Walid said, ‘Indeed, Quraysh knows that I am the wealthiest man among them.’ Abu Jahl said, ‘Thus, you should say something about Muhammad to make your people believe that you disapprove of what he has brought and that you hate it.’ Then, Al-Walid said, ‘What shall I say about the Quran? By Allah, no man among you knows poetry more than me, nor knows rajaz more than me, nor poem more than me, nor the poetry of the jinn more than me. By Allah, what Muhammad says is never similar to anything of these things. By Allah, his speech has sweetness, it will wipe up whatever thing that is below it, and it will dominate and cannot be dominated.’ Abu Jahl said, ‘By Allah, your people will never be satisfied until you say something against it.’ Then, Al-Walid said, ‘Leave me a while so that I can think about something against it.’ Then, Al-Walid thought and said, ‘This is magic that Muhammad was taught by someone.’ Therefore, Allah revealed, [74:11 Leave Me with him whom I created alone,] </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:18 Surely, he thought and determined -- </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:19 Woe to him!

How he determined!</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Al-Walid Ibn Al-Mughirah determinedly thought about what to say about Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] and the Quran. He thought to fabricate something against Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] and the Quran. Woe to him! How he determined! Then, woe to him! May he be cursed and punished for what he determined! </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:21 Then, he looked,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:22 Then, he frowned and scowled. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:23 Then, he turned back and waxed proud. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The ayat eloquently portray the condition and reaction of Al-Walid Ibn Al-Mughirah. They describe his body movement, his heart’s emotions, and his facial reactions. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Al-Walid Ibn Al-Mughirah determinedly thought about what to say about Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] and the Quran. Then, he looked at the faces of those who were around him, pretending to be seriously thinking about the matter. He acted as if he wanted to say to them, ‘Listen carefully to what I will say about this matter.’ Then, he frowned and scowled. His face color changed and his extremities trembled when he was unable to find any defect in the Quran.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> 74:23 Then, he turned back and waxed proud. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">After deep thought and reflection and after frowning and scowling, Al-Walid Ibn Al-Mughirah turned back and waxed proud. He arrogantly turned away from the truth and proudly rejected following it. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:24 Then, he said, ‘This is nothing but magic from old times.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:25 This is nothing but the word of a mortal.’</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Conceitedly and Denyingly, Al-Walid Ibn Al-Mughirah said, ‘This Quran that Muhammad claims that God has revealed to him is nothing but magic from old times. Muhammad reports it from the stories of the ancients. This Quran is nothing but the word of a mortal and not the speech of God as Muhammad claims.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The statement of Al-Walid Ibn Al-Mughirah about Messenger Muhammad and the Quran is evidence that he contradicted himself as he believed that Messenger Muhammad was truthful, but he disbelieved in him and the Quran out of stubbornness and arrogance. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:26 I shall burn him in Saqar! </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:27 And what will make you know what Saqar is?</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:28 It spares not nor does it leave. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:29 It scorches the skin.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:30 Over it are nineteen.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah, Exalted be He, mentions the severe punishment that He has prepared for Al-Walid Ibn Al-Mughirah.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah, Exalted be He, will burn him in Saqar, namely, Hell. And what will make you know what Saqar is? No one can know exactly how severe its punishment is. It spares not nor does it leave any of the flesh or the bones of dwellers of Hell. And they will be returned to their former state, but Hell will re-burn them again, and so on. In addition, Hell scorches the skin and makes it black and it causes severe pain to its dwellers. Hell has nineteen keepers over it. They are responsible for punishing its dwellers and they carry out the commands of Allah concerning them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Qatada, said, ‘When this ayah was revealed [74:30 Over it are nineteen.], abu Jahl said, ‘O people of Quraysh! Cannot every ten persons among you defeat one of the keepers of Hell as you are the strongest men? Your companion, namely, Messenger Muhammad, has claimed that it has nineteen keepers over it.’ </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Learned Lessons from Surah Al-Muddathir Ayah 11-30</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: georgia;

Then, Abdul Allah said I shall only tell you about what Messenger Muhammad told us. Messenger Muhammad said, ‘I was in seclusion in the cave of Hira. When I finished my seclusion and came down of <a href="https://www.islamiclandmarks.com/makkah-other/jabal-al-hira" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mount Hira</a>, I was called. I looked to my right side, but I saw nothing; I looked to my left side, but I saw nothing; I looked before me, but I saw nothing; and I looked back, but I saw nothing. Then, I raised my head and saw something. Then, I went to Khadijah and said, ‘Cover me and pour cold water over me.’ Thus, they covered me and poured cold water over me. Then, Allah revealed to me, [74:1 O you enveloped in your cloak, 74:2 Arise and warn!] </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://madinainstitute.ac.za/sayyida-aisha-as-siddiqa-may-allah-taala-be-well-pleased-with-her/#:~:text=Aisha%20(May%20Allah%20ta'ala,most%20prolific%20Narrators%20of%20Hadith." rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her</a>, narrated that the first revelation from the Quran came to Messenger Muhammad while he was in cave Hira. The archangel Gabriel came to him and said, ‘96:1 Read in the name of your Lord, Who created. 96:2 He created man from a clot.’ [Surah Al-Alaq] </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">A reconciliation between these two narrations can be made as follows: the first narration refers to the first revelation from the Quran that came to Messenger Muhammad after the revelation stopped coming for some time after the revelation of surah Al-Alaq. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Nonetheless, surah Al-Muddathir is one of the first surahs that were revealed to Messenger Muhammad. It commands Messenger Muhammad to warn people of the punishment of Allah if they insist on following the path of misguidance. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:1 O you enveloped in your cloak, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:2 Arise and warn!</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, who enveloped himself in his cloak, ‘Arise from your bed and begin determinedly to warn people of the punishment of Allah if they insist on worshipping other gods besides Allah. Convey the message of your Lord without fearing anyone. Command people to worship Allah alone, obey His commands, and avoid His prohibitions.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah, Exalted be He, addressed His beloved Messenger Muhammad by calling him the one who enveloped himself in his cloak to make him feel at ease and comfortable. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:3 And your Lord magnify, </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger, ‘Do not fear, arise, and warn people of the punishment of Allah.

Purify your soul from sins and evil ethics.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Whether the intended meaning is to purify the garments or purify the soul from sins, Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] used to purify himself from tangible and intangible impurities in all his affairs. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:5 and uncleanness do shun,</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger, ‘Shun uncleanness and worship of false gods besides Allah. Avoid sins and always keep away from them. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The commandment to avoid uncleanness, sins, and false gods does not mean that Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] did anything of them; rather, the intended meaning is to urge him to keep away from them constantly because he is the role model for all Muslims. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:6 and give not, seeking gain, </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The scholars of Tafsir mention the following opinions about the meaning of [74:6 and give not, seeking gain,] 1) Do not give a gift, seeking something that is better than it. 2) Do not be proud of being a dutiful slave of your Lord. 3) Do not slacken off to perform righteous deeds. 4) Do not treat people proudly to take a reward from them for being the prophet of Allah. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger, ‘You should give much of your wealth to others without believing that what you give is too much no matter how great it may be. Indeed, the bounty and reward of Allah are greater and better. You should also not give something while seeking to gain something in return for it.’</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:7 and for the sake of your Lord, be patient.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, ‘You should be patient with the duties that your Lord has commanded you to carry out. You should patiently bear difficulties and hardships to convey the message that your Lord has commanded you to convey. Seek your Lord's reward for whatever abuse and hardship that you may encounter while carrying out the message of your Lord.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">After giving Messenger Muhammad some instructions to Messenger Muhammad, surah Al-Muddathir mentions some of the horrors of the Day of Judgment.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:8 Then, when the Trumpet is sounded, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:9 Surely, that day will be a difficult day. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:10 For the disbelievers, not easy. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, ‘Convey the message of your Lord to people. Command them to worship Allah alone. Warn them of the severe punishment of Allah if they insist on following the path of misguidance. On that day, the angel responsible for the Trumpet will blow it. After which, people will come out from their graves for reckoning. Surely, the Day of Judgment will be difficult for the disbelievers. They will suffer from its horrors and cannot escape from the punishment of Allah.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Abdul Allah Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported, Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] said, ‘How shall I feel comfortable while the angel responsible for blowing in the Trumpet is ready to blow it, lowering his forehead to hear when he will be commanded to blow it.’ The companions of Messenger Muhammad said, ‘What should we say?’ He said, ‘You should say, ‘Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best Guardian.

Allah, Exalted be He, addresses His Prophet and Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] and says to him, 74:1 O you enveloped in your cloak, namely, O you al-Muddathir in your cloak.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Surah Al-Muddathir was revealed in Makkah. It contains fifty-six ayah. </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Relationship between Surah Al-Muzamil and Surah Al-Muddathir</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> According to the written copy of the Quran, Al-Mushaf, surah Al-Muddathir comes after surah Al-Muzamil. Both surahs begin with addressing Messenger Muhammad. Surah Al-Muzamil begins by commanding Messenger Muhammad to pray the night prayer to prepare himself to perform the task of inviting people to Islam. On the other hand, surah Al-Muddathir begins by commanding Messenger Muhammad to warn people of the punishment of Allah if they insist on disbelieving in His Oneness. </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Most Important Topics Discussed in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Muddaththir" target="_blank">Surah Al-Muddathir</a></span></h2><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> Surah Al-Muddathir contains some instructions to Messenger Muhammad at the beginning of his duty of conveying Islam to the people. It also contains warnings to the disbelievers and some attributes of Hell. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:1 O you enveloped in your cloak, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:2 Arise and warn!</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:7 and for the sake of your Lord, be patient.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Then, surah Al-Muddathir mentions that <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zdxdqhv/revision/6" target="_blank">the Day of Judgment </a>will be difficult.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> 74:8 Then, when the Trumpet is sounded, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:9 Surely, that day will be a difficult day. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:10 For the disbelievers, not easy. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> Then, the surah strongly warns one of the disbelievers, namely, Al-Walid Ibn Al-Mughirah, who vehemently opposed Islam after acknowledging that Allah revealed the Quran. He claimed that the Quran is magic; thus, he deserved to enter Hell and suffer its severe punishment.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:11 Leave Me with him whom I created alone,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:12 and gave him ample wealth,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:13 and sons by his side, </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:24 Then, he said, ‘This is nothing but magic from old times.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:25 This is nothing but the word of a mortal.’</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:26 I shall burn him in Saqar! </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Then, surah Al-Muddathir mentions some of the attributes of Hell, the number of its keepers, and that it will appear before the disbelievers on the Day of Judgment.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:27 And what will make you know what Saqar is?</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:28 It spares not nor does it leave. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:29 It scorches the skin.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:30 Over it are nineteen.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Then, the surah emphasizes the gravity of Hell by swearing by the moon, the night, and the dawn.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:32 No! By the moon,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:33 and the night when it retreats,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:34 and the dawn when it brightens. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:35 Indeed, it is one of the greatest things,</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Then, surah Al-Muddathir mentions that every person is responsible for his deeds and no one will be called to account for the deeds of others.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:38 Every soul is pledged for what it has earned, </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> Finally, surah Al-Muddathir is concluded with referring to the reason that makes the disbelievers turn away from following the right path and refuse to believe in the Oneness of Allah.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:49 Then, what is the matter with them that they turn away from the Reminder,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:50 as if they were startled asses </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:51 that fled from a lion?</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">74:52 Rather, every person of them wants to be given pages, spread.</span></h3><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://quran.com/en/al-muddaththir" target="_blank">English Translation of Surah Al-Muddathir</a></span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Z9NTK8J" target="_blank">The Noble Quran Surah Yusuf English Translation and Tafsir Kindle Edition</a></span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://bayian.blogspot.com/2023/09/Study-Tafsir-Surah-Al-Muzzammil.html" target="_blank">Instructions to Messenger Muhammad</a></span></h2><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><br /></p>Zamzam Bayianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16866840371839031661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733654447787204479.post-53295926114069384142023-11-19T00:27:00.000+03:002023-11-19T00:27:10.888+03:00Night Worship and Prayer<p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcz9mO945p924RbKTiw8BCzsj3Y0LMXrPvGpzP3pFXyVZ4yK-G8Z4AAw12OyANlk5LaTSlrjDH4uhReIeB4ok_z2WgZjZGC4PSVDQ0zV2OR3jBIF_adnDRI6jik-4qrtB_7KA_Oi4J1ud1IKDJc_QJCl4EnueeOGUv-KvxmAL-neymP7-zFhoYYIj3RSA/s254/Al%20Muszamal%20ayah%2020.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img alt="Surah Al-Muzammil Night Prayer" border="0" data-original-height="198" data-original-width="254" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcz9mO945p924RbKTiw8BCzsj3Y0LMXrPvGpzP3pFXyVZ4yK-G8Z4AAw12OyANlk5LaTSlrjDH4uhReIeB4ok_z2WgZjZGC4PSVDQ0zV2OR3jBIF_adnDRI6jik-4qrtB_7KA_Oi4J1ud1IKDJc_QJCl4EnueeOGUv-KvxmAL-neymP7-zFhoYYIj3RSA/w320-h249/Al%20Muszamal%20ayah%2020.jpeg" title="Quran Surah Al-Muzammil" width="320" /></span></a></div><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Noble Quran English Translation and Tafsir of Surah Al-Muzamil Ayah 20 </span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:20 Truly, your Lord knows that you stay up praying nearly two-thirds of the night, or a half of it, or a third of it, as do a group of those with you. And Allah determines the duration of the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to measure it, so He has pardoned you. Thus, recite as much as you can from the Quran. He knows that some of you are sick, others travel in the land, seeking some of the bounty of Allah, and others fight for the sake of Allah. Thus, recite as much as you can of it, perform the prayer, give the zakat, and lend Allah a good loan. Whatever good you shall forward to yourselves, you shall find it with Allah. It is better and has a greater reward. And seek forgiveness from Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Relationship with the Previous Part</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">After bringing into view the conditions of the righteous and the miserable and warning the disbelievers of the severe punishment of Allah on the Day of Judgment, surah Al-Muzamil is concluded with referring to some guidelines and instructions. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Tafsir</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:20 Truly, your Lord knows that you stay up praying nearly two-thirds of the night, or a half of it, or a third of it, as do a group of those with you. And Allah determines the duration of the night and the day.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah, Exalted be He, informs His Prophet Messenger Muhammad that He knows that he and his companions <a href="https://zamzam.com/blog/tahajjud-prayer/#:~:text=The%20Tahajjud%20prayer%20is%20usually,last%20third%20of%20the%20night." target="_blank">pray in the night</a>. They sometimes pray less than two-thirds of the night and pray half or a third of the night at other times. Allah, Exalted be He, determines the duration of the night and the day. He fully knows how many hours pass and remain of the day and the night.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The intended meaning is to demonstrate the mercy of Allah on Messenger Muhammad and the believers as He accepts that they pray a little part of the night even less than a third of <a href="https://www.muslim.sg/articles/how-to-pray-tahajjud-and-perform-qiyamullail" target="_blank">the night</a>.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">He knows that you are unable to measure it, so He has pardoned you. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Allah, Exalted be He, knows that the believers cannot measure exactly the duration of the night and the day and how many hours pass and remain of them. It will be difficult for them to measure them. Thus, Allah, out of His mercy and bounty, has pardoned the believers. They can pray whatever part of the night and pray as much as they can, even two units of the prayer. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Thus, recite as much as you can from the Quran.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Pray as much as you want and recite as much as you can from the Quran in the night.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">He knows that some of you are sick, others travel in the land, seeking some of the bounty of Allah, and others fight for the sake of Allah. Thus, recite as much as you can from the Quran.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O believers, pray as much as you can in the night. Allah, Exalted be He, knows that you cannot measure exactly the duration of the night and some of you have excuses that prevent them from praying in the night. Thus, He has made it easy for you and pardoned you, as He knows that some of you are sick, others travel in the land, seeking some of His bounty, and others fight for His sake. Allah has mercy on you and He has not made praying in the night obligatory on you. Thus, you should recite the Quran as much as you when pray.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Mentioning seeking lawful sustenance and fighting for the sake of Allah in the same ayah indicates that the reward of both acts is great as long as one is sincere and does them for the sake of Allah. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> Qatada, said, ‘[<b>He knows that some of you are sick, others travel in the land, seeking some of the bounty of Allah, and others fight for the sake of Allah. Thus, recite as much as you can from the Quran</b>.] Allah made praying in the night obligatory on the believers at the beginning of surah Al-Muzamil. Thus, Messenger Muhammad and his companions prayed in the night for a year until their feet swelled. Allah did not reveal the final part of surah Al-Muzamil for twelve months. Then, He revealed the pardon at the end of the surah. Thus, praying in the night became voluntary after it was obligatory on the believers.’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Thus, recite as much as you can of it, perform the prayer, give the zakat, and lend Allah a good loan. Whatever good you shall forward to yourselves, you shall find it with Allah. It is better and has a greater reward.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Exhorting to recite as much as of the Quran is repeated to establish and emphasize the fact that Allah wants to make prayer in the night easy for the believers. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O believers, pray and recite as much as you can of the Quran in the night, perform the prayer constantly at its appointed time while doing your best to fulfill all its obligatory requirements, and give the zakat to those who deserve it. And lend Allah a good loan by helping the needy and the poor. You shall find the positive outcome of giving and helping the needy. Whatever righteous deed you perform in the life of this world – you will find its reward in the Hereafter with Allah and it will be better than what you performed in the life of this world. Indeed, the reward of Allah is better and greater than what you offer and give in the life of this world.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Giving and helping the needy is likened to lending Allah, Exalted be He, a loan to show that the outcome of it will come back to the giver, and it will be multiplied by Allah, as He has promised that He will multiply the rewards of the good-doers as much as He wants by His bounty and mercy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Qatada, said, ‘[<b>Thus, recite as much as you can of it, perform the prayer, give the zakat…</b>] The obligatory prayer and the zakat are mandatory and there is no excuse not to perform them. Thus, you must perform them for the sake of Allah, Exalted be He.’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And seek forgiveness from Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O believers, seek forgiveness from Allah and ask Him to pardon your sins. Repent of your sins and do righteous deeds as much as you can. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving and All-Merciful. He forgives the sins of those who sincerely repent of their sins and ask Him to have mercy on them. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Learned Lessons from Surah Al-Muzamil Ayah 20</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>In the beginning, Messenger Muhammad and the believers were commanded to pray in the night. Then, praying in the night becomes voluntary for Muslims.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It is obligatory to pray the five obligatory prayers and give the zakat to those who deserve it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It is recommended to perform different kinds of voluntary acts of worship, such as reciting the Quran.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The believer should seek forgiveness from Allah at all times.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Allah is merciful.

font-size: medium;"> Relationship with the Previous Part<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The previous part mentions some instructions to Messenger Muhammad. Then, the disbelievers are warned of severe punishment in this part if they insist on disbelieving in the Oneness of Allah and following the path of misguidance. It also refers to some signs and horrors of the Day of Judgment.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Tafsir</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:10 And be patient with what they say and keep away from them graciously. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, rely on Allah alone concerning all your affairs. And be patient with what the disbelievers say about you and Islam. Their statements are lies. Keep away from the disbelievers graciously without any dispute or argument. Do not meet evil with evil; rather, keep away from them without saying evil words to them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Imam Fakhar Ar-Razi wrote, ‘Allah says to His beloved Messenger Muhammad, ‘ You have taken Me as your Guardian. Thus, be patient with what the disbelievers say and leave their matter to Me. As I am your Guardian, I shall set right all your affairs better than setting them right by yourself. You should know that the duties of the slaves of Allah are limited to two matters. First, how they deal with the commands of Allah. Second how they deal with their fellow human beings. The first matter is more important than the second one. The first part of surah Al-Muzamil mentions what relates to the first matter. Then, what is related to the second matter is mentioned. Allah, Exalted be He, has gathered all that is needed concerning this matter in these two words. Man either mixes with people or stays away from them. If he mixes with them, he should be patient with their abuse and alienation. If he wishes that he will attain good things and comfort from their sides, he will not attain them. Thus, he will suffer sadness and melancholy. Thus, it becomes clear that mixing with people needs great patience. On the other hand, staying away from people is gracious desertion. Thus, it becomes clear that one should have each of these matters. Gracious desertion is to stay away from people by one’s heart and desire and disagreeing with their deeds while being polite, pretending to be inattentive, refraining from requital.’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:11 And leave Me with the deniers, the prosperous ones, and respite them a little.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> O noble Messenger Muhammad, leave Me with the deniers and the prosperous ones, who disbelieve in the Oneness of Allah. I shall take care of them and take revenge on them on your behalf. Do not concern yourself about their affairs as they are wealthy and prosperous in the life of this world. Leave them a little and give them respite until the time of their death comes. Surely, they will reap the evil fruits of their disbelief in the Oneness of Allah and abusing you and the believers. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said, ‘This ayah was revealed, [73:11 And leave Me with the deniers, the prosperous ones, and respite them a little.] Then, a little while after its revelation, the battle of Badr took place.’ The great leaders among the disbelievers were killed at the battle of Badr, and Allah, Exalted be He, took revenge on them.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:12 Verily, with Us are fetters and a flaming fire,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:13 and food that chokes and a painful torment. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> Verily, with Allah are fetters and a flaming fire. And with Him food that chokes and a painful torment. Indeed, Allah has prepared strong fetters for disbelievers by which they will be tied up and a flaming fire wherein they will be thrown. Their food in Hell will be food that chokes as it sticks to the throat. Thus, it will not go into the stomach or get out of their mouths. In addition, it is bitter and horrible. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Indeed, Allah, Exalted be He, has warned the disbelievers of the severe punishment awaiting them in Hell on the Day of Judgment if they insist on disbelieving in His Oneness and following the path of misguidance. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:14 On a day, the earth and the mountains will quake and the mountains will become, as a heap of sand, crumbling.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The severe punishment will befall the disbelievers on the Day of Judgment. On that day, the earth and the mountains will quake. The mountains will become like a heap of crumbling sand after they were strong huge rocks. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:15 Verily, We have sent you a Messenger as a witness over you, just as We sent to Pharaoh a Messenger. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:16 But <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh" target="_blank">Pharaoh</a> disobeyed the Messenger, so We seized him with a terrible seizure.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">After warning the disbelievers of the severe punishment awaiting them on the Day of Judgment, they are warned by referring to the terrible punishment that befell the former disbelievers in the life of this world.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O people, Allah has sent you a Messenger as a witness over you, just as He sent to Pharaoh a Messenger.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> Allah sent Messenger Muhammad to invite people to worship Allah alone and he will be a witness over them that he truthfully conveyed the message of Allah to people on Day of Judgment. Allah also sent Messenger Moses to Pharaoh to invite him to worship Allah alone and follow the path of guidance. However, Pharaoh disobeyed Messenger Moses and refused to worship Allah alone. Thus, Allah punished him severely and a terrible torment befell him and the disbelievers among his people. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Messenger Moses is mentioned specifically because his story and the story of Pharaoh were well-known among the people of Makkah. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In sum, if the disbelievers insist on disbelieving in the Oneness of Allah severe punishment will befall them just as it befell the former disbelievers. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:17 Then, how can you guard yourselves against a day that shall make the children grey-headed?</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O disbelievers, how can you guard yourselves against the punishment of the Day of Judgment that shall make the children grey-headed because of its great horrors if you die as disbelievers? </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:18 The sky shall be split thereby; His promise shall be fulfilled.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The sky will split because of the great terrors of the Day of Judgment. Verily, the promise of Allah that the Day of Judgment will take place shall be fulfilled.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The intended meaning is to warn the disbelievers so that they stop disbelieving in the Oneness of Allah when they know that nothing and no one can protect them against the punishment of Allah.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Indeed, the horrors of the Day of Judgment are great. The children’s hear will turn grey, the sky will split, and the mountains will become dust. The Day of Judgment will certainly occur and no one can protect the disbelievers against the punishment of Allah. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:19 Verily, this is a Reminder, so let whoever wills take a way to his Lord. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">‘Verily, this is…’ refers to the warnings and admonitions mentioned in the aforementioned ayat in the surah. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The warnings and admonitions are for reminder and exhortation. Thus, let whoever wills take a way to his Lord, Allah, by believing in His Oneness, obeying His commands, avoiding His prohibitions, and performing righteous deeds for His sake. This is the only right way to be saved from the severe punishment of the Day of Judgment. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The ayah says ‘let whoever wills…’ the intended meaning is not to give a choice; rather, the intended meaning is to urge and exhort to follow the path of guidance that leads to attain the pleasure of Allah. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Learned Lessons from Surah Al-Muzamil Ayah 10-19</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The believer should be patient when it comes to complying with the commands of Allah and avoiding His prohibitions.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Gracious desertion is to avoid unfavorable things and situations without reproach.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Allah, Exalted be He, sent Muhammad as His Prophet and Messenger, just as He sent Moses as His Prophet and Messenger.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The Day of Judgment will certainly take place at the time that Allah has appointed for its occurrence.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Allah, Exalted be He, warns the disbelievers of His severe punishment if they insist on disbelieving in His Oneness and following the path of misguidance.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The punishment of the Day of Judgment is severe.

Thus, take Him as your Guardian.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Tafsir</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabir_ibn_Abd_Allah" target="_blank">Jabir Ibn Abdul Allah</a>, may Allah be pleased with them, narrated this narration about the period of intermission of the divine revelation to Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him]. He reported that Messenger Muhammad said, ‘While I was walking, I heard a voice from the sky. Then, I raised my head and saw the angel, who came to me in the mount of Hira. He was sitting on a chair between heaven and earth. Thus, I was frightened of him. Then, I returned to my family and said, ‘Wrap me up, wrap me up.’ Thereupon, Allah, Exalted be He, revealed, ‘74:1 O you enveloped in your cloak, 74:2 Arise and warn! 74:3 And your Lord magnify, 74:4 and your garments purify, 74:5 and uncleanness do shun,’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:1 O you wrapped in your garments,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:2 stand for prayer at night, but a little.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:3 Half of it, or a little less thereof.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:4 or add more thereto and recite the Quran distinctly.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.surah.my/73?l=en" target="_blank">Surah Al-Muzzammil</a> begins with a vocative mode to indicate the importance of commands and prohibitions that the addressee will receive. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] is called one, who wraps himself in his garment, to make him feel at ease, cheer up his soul, and make him feel endeared, so that he would actively convey Islam to people. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O you wrapped in your garments after seeing the angel Gabriel in his real shape! O you wrapped in your garments after hearing the hideous things that the disbelievers say about Allah! Stand for prayer at night to worship your God. Stand for prayer at night, but a little part of it to take some rest. Stand for prayer half of the night or little less than thereof. You can also stand for prayer more than that and recite the Quran distinctly. Recite the Quran slowly, which will help you to reflect on its meanings. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In other words, O you wrapped in your garments! Stand for prayer half of the nigh and assign the other half for sleep and rest. This indicates the easiness of Islam as it commands the believers to diligently worship Allah, but at the same time instructs them to take care of their bodies by giving them sufficient sleep and rest. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The night is specifically assigned for worship and prayer because it is a time of calmness and serenity, which enable the believer to worship Allah sincerely and humbly.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%27id_ibn_Hisham" target="_blank">Sa’d Ibn Hisham</a> said, ‘I asked Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, about the prayer of the night. She said, ‘Do you not recite [73:1 O you wrapped in your garments,]? I said, ‘Yes.’ She said, ‘When the beginning of this surah was revealed, the companions of Messenger Muhammad prayed at night until their feet swelled, and the last part of the surah was delayed for twelve months. Then, it was revealed. Thereupon, the night prayer has become voluntary after it was obligatory.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In sum, Allah, Exalted be He, as a way of easing and instruction to what may comfort the soul of Messenger Muhammad, say, ‘O noble Messenger Muhammad, who wraps himself in his garments, stand for worship and prayer in the night, leaving some time thereof for rest and sleep. You may stand for worship and prayer half of the night, less or more than that. Recite the Quran beautifully and distinctly, which is a helpful means to understand and reflect on its meanings.’</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:5 Indeed, We shall reveal to you a weighty word. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, stand for worship and prayer in the night to come close to your Lord, Allah, by offering different kinds of worship as a weighty word shall be revealed to you, namely, the noble Quran. It is a weighty word in the balance of the truth, its effect on the hearts, and its obligations and commands. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> Allah, Exalted be He, says, interpretation of the meaning, </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">59:21 Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, surely, you would have seen it humble itself and split for fear of Allah. And such are the similitudes which We expound to people that they may reflect.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Had the Quran, which was revealed to guide to the truth, been sent to a mountain, and the mountain is able to understand the discourse of the Quran, it would have perceived the meanings of the Quran and become humble which would have caused it to split. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In other words, had the mountain in the place of the disbelievers, who refuse to listen to the Quran and benefit from its guidance, it would have split and become dust out of fear of Allah, Exalted be He.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Many authentic narrations confirm that the Quran is a heavy word. Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said, ‘I saw Messenger Muhammad when the divine revelation came to him. His forehead would drip sweat on a very cold day after receiving the divine revelation.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> Indeed, the Quran is a heavy word because it is the speech of Allah, the Lord of the world. It is heavy because it contains great obligations and commands, namely, promising to reward the believers and warning to the evil doers, lawful and unlawful rules, and the law of punishment. No matter how deeply the scholars try to understand its meanings, they will find them comprehensive and they will acknowledge that they need to study it harder and harder. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Qatada, may Allah have mercy on him, said, ‘The Quran is heavy. By Allah, its rules and law of punishment are heavy.’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:6 Verily, worship at night is most effective and suitable for the speech. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, who wrapped himself in his garment, stand for worship and prayer in the night because it is most effective for remedying the heart and mending the soul. In addition, worship and prayer in the night are most suitable for reciting the Quran because the heart becomes humble as it humbly concentrates on worship. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:7 Surely, in the day, you have a prolonged occupation.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, We have commanded you to stand for worship and prayer in the night because you have a prolonged occupation in the day for fulfilling your duties and carrying out your obligations, which makes you unable to devote your time for worship and prayer. However, you can stand for worship and prayer in the night because it is a time for rest and sleep after finishing all duties of the day.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In other words, the ayah refers to the wisdom behind commanding to pray in the night. Allah, Exalted be He, has made it easy for Messenger Muhammad and his nation as He has made the day for fulfilling their life occupations and duties, and made a part of the night for worship and prayer. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:8 And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with wholehearted devotion. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In this ayah, Allah, Exalted be He, commanded Messenger Muhammad to remember Him day and night.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, remember the name of your Lord constantly. You should glorify and thank Him for all His blessings and you should devote yourself to worship and obey Him with wholehearted devotion. Do not let anything make you unmindful of remembering and worshipping your Lord, Allah. Whenever you finish your duties and occupations, devote yourself to remember your Lord by performing different kinds of worship. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> 73:9 He is the Lord of the East and the West; there is no god but Him. Thus, take Him as your Guardian.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, your Lord, Allah, is the Lord of the East and the West. There is no god, who deserves worship and obedience, but Him. Thus, take Him as your Guardian in all your affairs. Seek His help and guidance in all your affairs. He will help and guide you. </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Learned Lessons from Surah Al-Muzzammil Ayah 1-9</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Standing for worshipping Allah and praying in the night is the method followed by the righteous slaves of Allah.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Recitation of the Quran should be done beautifully and carefully.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Praying in the night is better than praying during the day because one can concentrate on the worship, as he is free from the occupations and duties of the day.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>One should remember Allah as much as he can by performing different kinds of worship, such as glorifying Allah, praying, and seeking beneficial knowledge.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Relying on Allah concerning all one’s affairs is a manifestation of one’s submission to Allah and acknowledging that He is the only God, who deserves worship and obedience.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Devoting oneself to worship and prayer does not contradict fulfilling one’s obligations and duties.

It speaks about Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him]. Allah, Exalted be He, commanded Messenger Muhammad not to wrap himself in his clothes and begin inviting people to Islam. Surah Al-Muzammil was revealed in Makkah. It contains twenty ayah.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Relationship between Surah Al-Jnn and Al-Muzammil</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Surah Al-Muzammil comes after surah al-Jinn according to the written copy of the Quran, al-Mushaf. Surah Al-Jinn is concluded with referring to the fact that the Messengers of Allah sincerely conveyed the message of Allah to his people. Then, surah Al-Muzammil begins with commanding Messenger Muhammad to convey the message of Allah to people, which necessitates an attentive and abandoning comfortable life. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Surah Al-Jinn mentions the reaction of the jinn to the message of Islam. Surah Al-Muzammil mentions that Allah commanded Messenger Muhammad to invite all people to Islam.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Most Important Topics Discussed in Surah </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Surah Al-Muzammil contains divine instructions to Messenger Muhammad to guide him during the journey of conveying the message of<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam" target="_blank"> Islam </a>to people. It also warns the disbelievers of severe punishment if they insist on disbelieving in the Oneness of Allah, Exalted be He.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Surah Al-Muzammil begins with commanding Messenger Muhammad to stay up during the night except for a little part of it to pray the night prayer. It also commands him to recite the Quran to strengthen his resolution.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:1 O you wrapped in your garments,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:2 stand for prayer at night, but a little.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:3 Half of it, or a little less thereof.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:4 or add more thereto and recite the Quran distinctly.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Then, surah Al-Muzammil mentions that the divine revelation that would be revealed to Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] and the requirements of its great message is heavy. Therefore, Messenger Muhammad is commanded to remember Allah day and night, declare the Oneness of Allah, and seek His help and support in all his affairs.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:5 Indeed, We shall reveal to you a weighty word. </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:6 Verily, worship at night is most effective and suitable for the speech.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:7 Surely, in the day, you have a prolonged occupation.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Then, surah Al-Muzammil commands Messenger Muhammad to be patience with the abuse of the disbelievers, who say that he is a magician or a poet, and that Allah, Exalted be He, has a partner. In addition, Messenger Muhammad is commanded to keep away from the disbelievers graciously without acting negatively and wait until victory and help of Allah come, and it will certainly come.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:10 And be patient with what they say and keep away from them graciously. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Surah Al-Muzammil is concluded with declaring that commanding Messenger Muhammad to pray a third of the night is lessened, and becomes the least amount that the believers can pray to make it easy for Messenger Muhammad and his nation and give them time to attend to their occupations and responsibilities. They are commanded to recite as much as they can from the Quran, perform the obligatory prayer, give the zakat, and seek forgiveness from Allah constantly. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:20 Truly, your Lord knows that you stay up praying nearly two-thirds of the night, or a half of it, or a third of it, as do a group of those with you. And Allah determines the duration of the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to measure it, so He has pardoned you. Thus, recite as much as you can from the Quran. He knows that some of you are sick, others travel in the land, seeking some of the bounty of Allah, and others fight for the sake of Allah. Thus, recite as much as you can of it, perform the prayer, give the zakat, and lend Allah a good loan. Whatever good you shall forward to yourselves, you shall find it with Allah. It is better and a greater reward. And seek forgiveness from Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.islamawakened.com/quran/73/1/default.htm" target="_blank">The Noble Quran Surah al-Muzammil English Translation and Tafsir</a></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://bayian.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-noble-quran-tafsir-of-surah-al_22.html" target="_blank">The Noble Quran: Tafsir of Surah al-Fatihah [Part 2]</a></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T3TJQH4" target="_blank">The Noble Quran Surah an-Nahl English Translation and Tafsir Kindle Edition</a></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Noble-Tabarak-English-Translation-Tafsir-ebook/dp/B0CFLLRZS9/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=LftIw&content-id=amzn1.sym.579192ca-1482-4409-abe7-9e14f17ac827&pf_rd_p=579192ca-1482-4409-abe7-9e14f17ac827&pf_rd_r=132-5416205-1723568&pd_rd_wg=We6cb&pd_rd_r=6f0a4824-ff17-4426-ae2e-ed9fa072de0d&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk" target="_blank">The Noble Quran Juz Tabarak English Translation and Tafsir Kindle Edition</a></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDdLVpHA7b0" target="_blank">Surat Al-Muzzammil (Enshrouded One) | Mishary Rashid Alafasy | مشاري بن راشد العفاسي | سورة المزمل</a></span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><br /></p>Zamzam Bayianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16866840371839031661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733654447787204479.post-62367422867213460142023-08-26T11:53:00.001+03:002023-08-26T11:53:48.990+03:00Only Allah Knows the Time of the Day of Judgment Surah Al-Jinn Ayah 25-28<p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMVpnnixiiUN1SrWpfibSjsQ68lvYMMAT3Lmv6K7z9bfpYlcmbhRifnpkE1BlD_br4UqRblWzjfgYvMgSIvGiMaW-hcViVAyHn7N04djiwsL4cFLJBtutAk1ogXWUMT-NJX8qD6kNi-BZOiZ0etRmnZxn7L2D84IlYBD9Q8KyeN4uHLsuJMNXL28SCszI/s6000/Muslim_Islam.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img alt="Quran Surah Al-Jinn English Translation and Tafsir Ayah 25-28" border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMVpnnixiiUN1SrWpfibSjsQ68lvYMMAT3Lmv6K7z9bfpYlcmbhRifnpkE1BlD_br4UqRblWzjfgYvMgSIvGiMaW-hcViVAyHn7N04djiwsL4cFLJBtutAk1ogXWUMT-NJX8qD6kNi-BZOiZ0etRmnZxn7L2D84IlYBD9Q8KyeN4uHLsuJMNXL28SCszI/w320-h213/Muslim_Islam.jpg" title="Surah Al-Jinn" width="320" /></span></a></div><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">English Translation and Tafsir of Surah Al-Jinn Ayah 25-28 </span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:25 Say, ‘I know not whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:26 He is the All-Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His unseen to anyone,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:27 save to a messenger whom He has chosen; then He makes before and after him watchers,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:28 that He may know that they have conveyed the Messages of their Lord. And He is fully aware of all that with them and He has counted the number of all things.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Relationship with the Previous Part </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The disbelievers used to ask Messenger Muhammad about the time of the Day of Judgment. Ayah [24] says, 72:24 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in respect of helpers and fewer in respect of numbers. It is known that the disbelievers will ask when the punishment of Allah will befall them. Therefore, Allah, Exalted be He, has commanded Messenger Muhammad to tell that that Allah is the All-Knower of the unseen and He does not disclose the knowledge thereof to anyone.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Tafsir</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:25 Say, ‘I know not whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">O noble Messenger Muhammad, say to the disbelievers, ‘I do not know whether the punishment that Allah has promised would befall you is near, or whether He will appoint for it a term. I do not know when Allah’s punishment will befall you. Only Allah knows when the punishment will befall and when the Day of Judgment will take place.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The intended meaning is that the punishment of Allah will certainly befall the disbelievers; however, only Allah knows its appointment. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:26 He is the All-Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His unseen to anyone,</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:27 save to a messenger whom He has chosen; then He makes before and after him watchers,</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] does not know when the punishment of Allah will befall the disbelievers and when the Day of Judgment will take place. Only Allah, Exalted be He, knows the unseen, and He does not disclose the knowledge of the unseen to anyone save to a messenger whom He has chosen. He makes him know some of the unseen to be miracles for him and proofs of his prophethood. Then, Allah makes before and after His messenger watchers to guard him against the evil of the devils to prevent them from eavesdropping on the news of the unseen. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In other words, Allah, Exalted be He, is the only knower of the unseen and He discloses some of the news of the unseen to His Prophets and Messengers and He makes watchers before and after them to prevent the devils from eavesdropping on the revelation that He would reveal to them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This ayah is evidence that magic and soothsaying are forbidden because the magicians and soothsayers claim that they know the news of the unseen, which is a sheer lie. No one knows the news of the unseen except Allah. He, out of His wisdom, discloses some of its news to His Prophets and Messengers.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Then He makes before and after him watchers,</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The intended meaning is that Allah makes watchers for His messengers and prophets from all sides, but the front and behind sides are mentioned because dangers attack man usually from these two sides.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Abd-Allah-ibn-al-Abbas" target="_blank">Abdul Allah Ibn Abbas</a>, may Allah be pleased with them, said, ‘72:26 He is the All-Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His unseen to anyone, save to a messenger whom He has chosen; Allah, Exalted be He, makes His messengers know some of the news of the unseen by revelation. However, He does not make anyone know the preordainment.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Dahhak_ibn_Qays_al-Fihri" target="_blank">Ad-Dahak</a>, may Allah have mercy on him, said, ‘72:27 save to a messenger whom He has chosen; then He makes before and after him watchers. When a revelation from Allah would come to Prophet Muhammad, watchers from the angels would be sent with the revelation to guard it against the devils lest the devils should take the form of the angels.’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:28 that He may know that they have conveyed the Messages of their Lord. And He is fully aware of all that with them and He has counted the number of all things.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The scholars of Tafsir have different opinions about the antecedent of the pronoun ‘He’ in Ayah [28]. 1) That Messenger Muhammad may know that the angel Gabriel conveyed the revelation of Allah to him. 2) That Messenger Muhammad may know that the Messengers of Allah, who came before him, conveyed the message of Allah to their people and that Allah guarded His messages. 3) That the disbelievers may know that the messengers of Allah conveyed the message of their Lord. 4) That Allah, Exalted be He, may know that the messengers conveyed His messages when they would convey them in real life though He, Exalted be He, knows everything before it takes place. 5) That the Prophet of Allah may know that the messengers of Allah came to him and not to others. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">After mentioning the opinions of the scholars, Imam Muhammad Ibn Jarir At-Tabari, may Allah have mercy on him, said, ‘The correct opinion is that ‘That Messenger Muhammad may know that the messengers, who came before him, conveyed the message of Allah to their people.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Thus, the meaning of Ayah [28] will be as follows: That Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] may know that the messengers of Allah, who came before him, were similar to him concerning conveying the message of Allah truthfully. And that Messenger Muhammad may know that he was protected from the evil of the jinn, just as the Messengers of Allah, who came before him, were protected from their evils. And that Messenger Muhammad may know that Allah, Exalted be He, is fully aware of all that with the messengers and He has counted the number of all things perfectly.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;

Thus, whoever avoids the suspicious matters clears himself regarding his religion and honor. And whoever falls into the suspicious matters falls into the unlawful. He is like a shepherd who herds his cattle around a sanctuary; he is about to let them graze therein. Truly, every king has a sanctuary; truly, the sanctuary of Allah is His prohibitions. Truly, there is a piece of flesh in the body, if it is sound, the entire body will be sound, and if it is spoiled, the entire body will be spoiled. Truly, it is the heart.’ [<b>Al-Bukhari & Muslim</b>]</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Short Biography of An-Nu’man Ibn Bashir </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">An-Nu’man Ibn Bashir Ibn Sa’d was one of the companions of Messenger Muhammad, the son of his companion Abu Abdul Allah Al-Ansari Al-Khazrji, and a great scholar. An-Nu’man was the first baby among <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansar_(Islam)" target="_blank">the Ansar</a>, the helpers, namely, the inhabitants of Al-Madianh, born in Al-Madianh after Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] migrated to it. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">He narrated a hundred and fourteen hadith from Messenger Muhammad. Messenger Muhammad died while An-Nu’man was eight years and seven months old, which is evidence that the narration of young children is accepted by scholars of hadith. The young child would hear the narration from Messenger Muhammad and then he would narrate it after he became an adult.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">An-Nu’man died in 64 A.H. may Allah be pleased with him.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Virtue of the Hadith </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The abovementioned hadith revolves around a great principle in Islam. The scholars unanimously agree on its ample benefits. Reflecting on the meaning of the hadith, one finds that it commands to perform lawful acts, avoid unlawful acts, refrain from committing suspicious matters, do one’s best to be on the safe side concerning one’s religion and honor, not to do things that cause negative presumption and committing undesired things, and endeavor to perform what amends the heart, etc. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Explanation of the Hadith</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">[<b>Verily, <a href="https://www.alim.org/hadith/nawawi/6/" target="_blank">the lawful is clear and verily the unlawful is clear</a>, and there are between them some suspicious matters that many people do not know</b>.] </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The lawful matters are clear and the unlawful matters are clear in Islam. However, there are some suspicious matters between them, which cannot be easily known whether lawful or unlawful by some people. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Thus, things are divided into three categories.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>First</b>, lawful things that all people know, such as fruit and vegetables are lawful.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Second</b>, unlawful things that all people know, such as wine is prohibited.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Third</b>, suspicious things that are unclear whether they are lawful or unlawful. Many people do not know whether they are lawful or unlawful; however, the scholars know their rules by referring to the Quran and the Sunnah of Messenger Muhammad.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">[<b>Thus, whoever avoids the suspicious matters clears himself regarding his religion and honor.</b>]</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Whoever avoids suspicious matters and keeps himself away from them clears himself from whatever thing that may negatively affect his religion and honor. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">[<b>And whoever falls into the suspicious matters falls into the unlawful.</b>]</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Whoever falls into the suspicious matters by committing them falls into the unlawful and commits it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">[<b>He is like a shepherd who herds his cattle around a sanctuary; he is about to let them graze therein</b>.]</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The example of a person, who commits unlawful acts by not keeping himself away from suspicious matters, is like a shepherd, who herds his cattle around a sanctuary that its owner prohibits others from grazing therein. As he herds his cattle close to the sanctuary, his cattle will likely graze in the sanctuary.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The intended meaning is that kings usually have protected places that ordinary people are prohibited from using. Allah, Exalted be He, has the greatest example. Allah is the King of kings. He has a sanctuary, namely, His prohibitions that He has commanded people to avoid. He has warned those who commit prohibited things of severe punishment. Therefore, it is more becoming for people to revere the commands of Allah and avoid His prohibitions just as common people revere their kings. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">[<b>Truly, there is a piece of flesh in the body, if it is sound, the entire body will be sound, and if it is spoiled, the entire body will be spoiled.

It discusses the importance of time and emphasizes that one should do his best to take advantage of his time as much as he can.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">One should know the value of his time and the importance of his time. Thus, he will not waste any moment thereof without performing a righteous deed, and offering the best of the best of statements and deeds.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">His intention should always be to perform righteous acts without any slackness while taking into consideration not to do acts that are beyond the body’s endurance. It was mentioned in a narration, ‘The good intention of the believer is better than his deed.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">It was reported that many of the righteous predecessors used to take advantage of their time.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">It was reported that a man said to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amir_ibn_Abd_al-Qays" target="_blank">Amir Ibn Abd Qays</a>, ‘Talk with me.’ Amir replied, ‘Could you hold the sun.’ [He meant could you stop the passing of time.] </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The son of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zwPzmlcE8M" target="_blank">Thabit Al-Banani</a> said, ‘I went to prompt my father to utter the testimony of faith, namely, there is no god worthy of worship but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger. Then, he said to me, ‘O my son, leave me alone for I am reading the sixth part of my daily invocations.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">It was reported that some people went to one of the righteous predecessors when he was about to die, and found him praying. Thus, they blamed him for doing so. But he said, ‘Now the record of my deeds is about to be folded.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">That being the case, if one knows – even if he does his best to take advantage of his time – that death will prevent him from performing righteous deeds, he should do acts whose rewards will be recorded for him after his death. If he owns some wealth, he should endow endowment, plant a plant, and dig a river. He should also endeavor to have righteous offspring that remember Allah. Thus, he will be rewarded for their righteous deeds, or he should write a beneficial book because the scholar’s books are his immortal children.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Finally, he should do his best to perform righteous deeds based on firm knowledge. Thus, his righteous deeds will be imitated by others. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Indeed, such a person has not died, as the saying goes,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;

Thus, they went to their fellows among the jinn to inform them about the matter.’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> 72:9 And we used to sit there in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a shooting star in wait for him.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The jinn say, ‘And we used to sit in heaven in positions where we could hear the conversation there. However, whoever listens now there will find a shooting star in wait for him to burn him.’ </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The intended meaning is that the jinn confirm their belief in the Oneness of Allah and Messenger Muhammad and motivate their fellows among the jinn to follow their example. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ibn-Kathir" target="_blank">Imam Ibn Kathir</a>, may Allah have mercy on him, said, ‘Allah, Exalted be He, mentions that when He sent Muhammad as His Prophet and Messenger and revealed the Quran to him, heaven was filled with strong guards that all its parts were guarded. The devils were expelled from heaven and were unable to reach the positions where they used to sit to eavesdrop on the conversation in heaven to prevent them from eavesdropping on the revelation of the Quran and taking it to the soothsayers. Thus, the matter would be unclear and the truth would be unknown. This indicates Allah’s bounty and mercy on His slaves and His great ability to guard His revelation. Therefore, the jinn say, ‘72:8 And we sought to reach haven, but we found it filled with strong guards and shooting stars.72:9 And we used to sit there in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a shooting star in wait for him.’ </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:10 And we know not whether evil is intended for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends guidance for them.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In this ayah, the jinn acknowledge that they do not know the news of the unseen. Only Allah knows the unseen and the seen and nothing in this universe is hidden from Him, Exalted be He.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The jinn say, ‘We do not know whether evil is intended for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends guidance for them by guarding heaven and preventing us from eavesdropping on its news.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The jinn’s statement indicates their decent manner as they attribute guidance to Allah and do not attribute evil openly to Allah, Exalted be He. Thus, they combine decent a manner with sound belief by believing in the Oneness of Allah.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:11 And there are among us some that are righteous and some of us are otherwise; we are groups following different ways.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The jinn say, ‘There are among us some that are righteous, who believe in the Oneness of Allah, do not worship any god besides Him, and obey His commands, and among us some that are disobedient to the commands of Allah. We are groups that follow different ways and have different levels of righteousness.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In other words, the jinn describe their conditions. They mention that some of them are righteous and some are unrighteous. They have different attitudes and characters in the life of this world.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:12 And we think that we can never escape from Allah on earth and we can never escape from Him by flight.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> In this ayah, the jinn acknowledge the perfect ability of Allah and that they can never escape from His authority.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The jinn say, ‘After believing in the Oneness of Allah, we believe that we can never escape from the authority of Allah on earth and we can never escape from Him in any other place no matter where it may be. We are under the power and authority of Allah everywhere.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In other words, the jinn expressly admit the perfect power and authority of Allah, and that they can never escape from Him anywhere in the universe.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:13 And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it; and whoever believes in his Lord, he shall fear neither loss nor oppression.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The jinn say, ‘When we heard the guidance of the Quran inviting us to follow the right path, we immediately believed in it. Whoever believes in his Lord and what He reveals to His Messenger Muhammad, he shall fear neither loss by decreasing his reward, nor oppression by increasing his sins. Rather, he shall be recompensed justly for all his deeds and rewarded immensely for his righteous deeds.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The intended meaning of the ayah is affirming the perfect justice of Allah and that no one will be treated unjustly. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">72:14 And there are among us some that are Muslims and some of us are unjust. So whoever has submitted –those are who have sought the right path.</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The jinn say, ‘There are among us some that are Muslims, who submit to Allah and worship Him alone, and some of us are unjust, who follow the path of misguidance. Whoever has submitted to Allah and obeyed His commands –those are who have sought the right path leading to happiness in the life of this world and the Hereafter.’</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">73:15 And as for the unjust, they shall be firewood for Hell. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> As for the unjust, who follow the path of misguidance, they shall be firewood for Hell, where they will suffer severe and lasting punishment. They deserve such painful torment because they disobey Allah.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Learned Lessons from Surah Al-Jinn Ayah 8-15</span></h3><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">After sending Muhammad as the Messenger of Allah, the jinn were prevented from eavesdropping on the news of heaven. Strong guards from the angels are put in to prevent them from reaching the news of heaven and shooting stars were sent against them if they eavesdropped on the news of heaven.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The jinn could not understand why heaven was guarded strongly. They did not know whether evil was intended for the inhabitants of the earth, or whether Allah wanted guidance for them. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Before sending Muhammad as the Messenger of Allah, some of the jinn were righteous and others were otherwise. They followed different ways and have different attitudes and beliefs in the life of this world. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The jinn admitted they could never escape from the punishment of Allah in heaven or earth because the authority and power of Allah are perfect.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The jinn’s immediate belief in Messenger Muhammad after listening to the recitation of the Quran is proof that he has been sent to both human beings and the jinn.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Whoever believes in the Oneness of Allah, obeys His commands, and avoids His prohibitions will never fear decreasing his righteous deeds or injustice by increasing his sins. Allah is just and He will recompense all creatures justly.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Some of the jinn have submitted to the commands of Allah and believed in His Oneness, while others are rebellious wrongdoers, who will suffer severe punishment in Hell on the Day of Judgment.</span></li></ul><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://bayian.blogspot.com/2019/10/introduction-interpretation-of-sura.html" target="_blank">Introduction to Tafsir of Surah Yusuf</a></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://bayian.blogspot.com/2023/06/Quran-Surah-Al-Jinn.html" target="_blank">Some of the Jinn Believes in the Oneness of Allah and the Quran</a></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09L6LTBB5" target="_blank">The Noble Quran Surah Maryam English Translation and Tafsir Kindle Edition</a></span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN3PGG9yN31y90vl4kAYjGID3jrSxbsTbKL5UVdCeeHCENFnhyEBvZG_3-wdsdzcGypg20eq-9LRPDN6VWj_nq_DAF3u17RGF0D0AHYtSglJCxzcZjdQnc8_BMTa6bdQ3YBF8k-EC4varbuJw7sz0Wp03DkSrGAp2_i0RBedL3jYLakw2qjEanCB8Cq8M/s346/Surah_Maryam.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Learn and Understand the meaning of Surah Meaning" border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="217" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN3PGG9yN31y90vl4kAYjGID3jrSxbsTbKL5UVdCeeHCENFnhyEBvZG_3-wdsdzcGypg20eq-9LRPDN6VWj_nq_DAF3u17RGF0D0AHYtSglJCxzcZjdQnc8_BMTa6bdQ3YBF8k-EC4varbuJw7sz0Wp03DkSrGAp2_i0RBedL3jYLakw2qjEanCB8Cq8M/w126-h200/Surah_Maryam.jpg" title="English Translation and Tafsir of Surah Maryam" width="126" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /> </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span></p>Zamzam Bayianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16866840371839031661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733654447787204479.post-85520118168369128922023-07-02T11:37:00.003+03:002023-07-02T11:41:16.549+03:00Creation of Man<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUMG6-_lnB6WzYS9FP3l_FRKbcRbpNxbpXQHRY9qy3hb1SwXheLSD2Ved8q_yqhYXupOspIcpZ3MIxlDyzhhmvVGzCWMIdIO7rDWdCx218NM1hSkU_wrQFiIPIfnic6bvXtcvLboRfoEa6gDWN93dyCO2WwcRJ5Zzm-NFlIlFNxrRGUUS_ZNR2eEELoxk/s950/creation_Man.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img alt="The fourth hadith of Nawaw’s forty hadith mentions the stages of the creation of man and what his end will be." border="0" data-original-height="496" data-original-width="950" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUMG6-_lnB6WzYS9FP3l_FRKbcRbpNxbpXQHRY9qy3hb1SwXheLSD2Ved8q_yqhYXupOspIcpZ3MIxlDyzhhmvVGzCWMIdIO7rDWdCx218NM1hSkU_wrQFiIPIfnic6bvXtcvLboRfoEa6gDWN93dyCO2WwcRJ5Zzm-NFlIlFNxrRGUUS_ZNR2eEELoxk/w320-h167/creation_Man.jpg" title="The forty hadith of an-Nawawi English translation and learned lessons" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Nawawi%27s_Forty_Hadith" target="_blank">An-Nawawi’s Forty Hadith</a> [4]</span></h2><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abd_Allah_ibn_Mas%27ud" target="_blank">Abdul Allah Ibn Mas’ood</a>, may Allah be pleased with him, said,</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] who is the truthful, and the trusted, told us, ‘Truly, the creation of one of you is assembled in <a href="http://www.quranmiracles.com/2011/03/the-stages-of-creation-and-man/" target="_blank">the womb of his mother</a> for forty days in the form of a drop of fluid.

However, after leaving the place of hearing the exhortation, hardness, and heedlessness return to his heart. I reflected on the cause of such a state and knew it.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">People vary when it comes to this matter. </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The condition of the heart is different before and after listening to the exhortation. There are two reasons for such a condition of the heart.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">First: Exhortations are like whips. The pain caused by the whips does not last after the lashing stops, and their pain is felt at the time of lashing. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Second: When listening to the exhortation, the person is free from all distractions, and detaches himself from all worldly diversions. He listens attentively to the exhortation. However, when he returns to his normal life occupations, they take his entire attention. Thus, how can he return to his former state?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This is the condition of most people; however, people vary in the degree of continuity of the heedfulness caused by the exhortation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Some of them resolve to go ahead without a second thought and without any hesitation. If their natural disposition causes them some distraction, they become restless. This was the case with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanzala_Ibn_Abi_Amir#:~:text=Hanzala%20Ibn%20Abi%20Amir%20or,said%20to%20be%20a%20Christian." target="_blank">Hanzalah</a> when his natural disposition distracted him for a while. He said, ‘Hanzalah has become a hypocrite.’ [Hanzalah was a companion of Messenger Muhammad.

The effective cause in this analogy is abuse. It is impossible to permit the rule, namely, beating, in the new case, and prohibits saying bad words to the parents, in the presence of the effective cause, which is abusing the parents.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Inferential analogy</b>: making an inference by one of the analogues to the other. In this case, the effective cause indicates the rule, and it does not necessitate the rule. For example, making an analogy between a child’s wealth and an adult's wealth. It is obligatory to pay zakat on the child’s wealth because of the effective cause between them, i.e. tendency to grow. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Analogy of resemblance</b>: in this type of analogy, the new case has a resemblance to two original cases. In this case, the new case is attributed to the most resembling case. For example, secretions that are produced by organs other than the private parts. They resemble secretions produced by the private parts as they are impure, and they resemble pure secretions as they do not come out from the private parts.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">If the rule is that such secretions are impure, and nullify ablution, then the pillars of analogy are as follows,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">a)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The original case: secretion produced by private parts.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">b)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> The new case: secretion produced by other body parts.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">c)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Effective cause: impurity.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;
