Atheists in Quran (18) their deeds by Atomic weight

The Quran stimulates the knowledgeable scientific-minded Atheists to think about how Muhammad, the illiterate Arabic man talked about the Atomic weight and the Sub-Atomic weight more than 1400 years ago.

———————————————–

The meanings of the verse 34:3 of the Noble Quran:

The Atheistssay, “The Hour, the Resurrection, will never come to us”

Say, to them O Muhammad:

1. Yes indeed, it shall come to you
2. By my Lord, it shall come to you (Allah swore by Himself; He is the Ruler of the Day of Judgment.)
3. By the Knower of the Unseen who knows what is hidden from people, it shall come to you
4. Not even the weight of an atom escapes,
5. Not even the weight of an atom is hidden from Allah in the heavens or in the earth,
6. Nor is there anything smaller than that (than an Atom) or greater as regard the works of the servants, but:

• it is in a clear Record
• it is in a Manifest Book, namely, the Preserved Tablet
• it is well preserved in the Guarded Tablet

This verse is to realize the position of The Atheists in Allah’s great Universe.

There is nothing more certain in the world, physical, moral, and spiritual, than that every act, great or small, must have its corresponding consequences.

Everything, greater or small, will receive due recognition-a Reward for Good and a Punishment for Evil.

In this verse, the Quran talks about:

• The Atomic weight and
• The Sub-Atomic weight

This may excite the intellectual scientific-minded Atheists to think about how Muhammad, the illiterate Arabic man talked about the Atomic weight and the Sub-Atomic weight more than 1400 years ago.

The verse 34:3 in different translations:

QARIB:

The unbelievers say: ‘the hour will never come to us. ‘Say: ‘by my Lord, yes, it is surely coming to you! By him who knows the unseen, not even the weight of an atom in heavens and earth escapes him; neither is there anything smaller than that, nor greater except that it is in a clear book,

SHAKIR:

And those who disbelieve say: the hour shall not come upon us. say: yea! by my Lord, the knower of the unseen, it shall certainly come upon you; not the weight of an atom becomes absent from him, in the heavens or in the earth, and neither less than that nor greater, but (all) is in a clear book

PICKTHAL:

Those who disbelieve say: the hour will never come unto us. say: nay, by my Lord, but it is coming unto you surely. (he is) the knower of the unseen. not an atom’s weight, or less than that or greater, escapeth him in the heavens or in the earth, but it is in a clear record,

YUSUFALI:

The unbelievers say, “never to us will come the hour”: say, “nay! but most surely, by my Lord, it will come upon you;- by him who knows the unseen,- from whom is not hidden the least little atom in the heavens or on earth: nor is there anything less than that, or greater, but is in the record perspicuous:

Atheists in Quran (16) they mocked Muhammad

The Quran talked about the Atheists’ mockery they hurled at the Prophet Muhammad. The Quran says, “If they knew of the time when they shall not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs and none shall protect them from it at the Resurrection”.

———————————

Do Not Overlook this Warning

The verses 21:38-41 describe how the Atheists deal with Muhammad

The verses talk about

• The way the unbelievers received Allah’s Messenger and the revelations he was given.
• The mockery they hurled at him and
• Their persistent disbelief.

The verses follow this by pointing out that, by nature, man is hasty.

One manifestation of this haste is the unbelievers’ attempts to hasten Allah’s punishment.

Hence, it warns them against such haste and makes it clear to them that they must refrain from mocking the Prophet Muhammad if they wish to avoid the consequences of such unwarranted behavior. That is the persistent suffering of the unbelievers in the hereafter.

The verses talk about the accuracy of the reckoning in the hereafter and the suitability of the reward given on the Day of Judgment.

Thus, the reckoning and the reward are linked to the rules operating in the universe, human nature and human life.

What is more, they try to hasten the punishment against which the Prophet warns them.

For, by nature, man is hasty:

“Man is a creature of haste.”

Haste is present in man’s very nature and constitution.

Man always stretches his eyes to what lies ahead, beyond the present moment, aiming to grasp it with his own hand.

Man wants to achieve, the moment it flashes in his mind, all that seems desirable. He wants to see all that is promised to him, even though it may be to his detriment.

Such is man’s nature, unless he establishes a firm relationship with Allah, which gives him strength and reassurance. He will then trust to Allah’s wisdom, leaving His will to run its course without hastening events. For faith combines trust with patience and reassurance.

Those Atheists hastened Allah’s punishment, wondering when the promise of punishment in the hereafter, as well as in this life, would be fulfilled.

The Quran describes here for them a scene of the suffering in the hereafter, while also warning them against a similar punishment to that which befell earlier communities that rejected the faith “If only the unbelievers knew [that there will come]

• A time when they will not be able to shield their faces and their backs from the fire;
• A time when they will find no support.

Indeed, it will come upon them all of a sudden, and will stupefy them.

They will be unable to avert it, nor will they be allowed any respite.

Other messengers were derided before your time; but those who scoffed at them were [in the end] overwhelmed by the very thing that they derided.”

(Verses 39-41)

If the Atheists only knew what will happen to them, they would change their attitude completely.

They would stop their mockery and hastening of what is bound to come.

Let them, then, see what is bound to come. Therein, the fire surrounds them on all sides.

Imagine their frantic movements, described implicitly in the verse, to protect their faces and their backs against the fire, but their attempt is futile. It is as if the fire engulfs them on all sides. They can neither keep it away from themselves, nor retreat to seek protection. Nor is even a short respite from it possible.

That the punishment comes suddenly is only the response for their hastening it.

They used to say time after time:

“When is this promise to be fulfilled, if what you say be true?” (Verse 38)

The answer is that it comes suddenly, perplexing their minds andparalyzing their will. Thus, they are unable to think or act, let alone enjoy a period ofgrace to mend their ways.

This applies to the punishment in the hereafter. As for this world’s punishment, it certainly befell communities before them, which ridiculed Allah’s messengers. Just like those communities were unable to ward off a punishment that wiped them out altogether, so these Atheists are unable to avert their defeat and captivity. They are thus warned not to deride Allah’s Messenger, so as to avoid the punishment that befalls those who ridicule prophets. Such fate and punishment is bound to come, because it is part of Allah’s law which will inevitably take effect, just as the destruction of earlier communities, guilty of the same offence, proves.

The verses 21:38-41 in different translations:

QARIB:

38-They say: ‘if you are truthful, when will this promise come? ‘

39-If the unbelievers only knew when they will be unable to shield either their faces or their backs from the fire; when they will not be helped!

40-It will overtake them suddenly, dumbfounding them. they shall be unable to ward it off, and they shall not be respited.

41-Before you, other messengers were mocked, but the mockers were encompassed by the very thing they mocked.

SHAKIR:

38-And they say: when will this threat come to pass if you are truthful?

39-Had those who disbelieve but known (of the time) when they shall not be able to ward off the fire from their faces nor from their backs, nor shall they be helped

40-Nay, it shall come on them all of a sudden and cause them to become confounded, so they shall not have the power to avert it, nor shall they be respited

41-And certainly messengers before you were scoffed at, then there befell those of them who scoffed that at which they had scoffed

PICKTHAL:

38-And they say: when will this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful?

39-If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not be able to drive off the fire from their faces and from their backs, and they will not be helped!

40-Nay, but it will come upon them unawares so that it will stupefy them, and they will be unable to repel it, neither will they be reprieved.

41-Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked, but that whereat they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them.

YUSUFALI:

38-They say: “when will this promise come to pass, if ye are telling the truth?”

39-If only the unbelievers knew (the time) when they will not be able to ward off the fire from their faces, nor yet from their backs, and (when) no help can reach them!

40-Nay, it may come to them all of a sudden and confound them: no power will they have then to avert it, nor will they (then) get respite.

41-Mocked were (many) messenger before thee; but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.

Atheists in Quran (13) their works = Ashes Blowing in the Wind

The Atheists’ works are like ashes over which the wind blows hard on a tempestuous day, over which none can have power and they shall find no reward for it due to their nonbelief.

———————————

Not all the Atheists are evil doers.

Some if not many of them do righteous works in the life of this world.

The Atheists may do moral works such as:

• Kindness to kin,
• Act of charity,
• Helping the poor and the needy,
• Compassion to the neighbors,
• Etc.

Allah very much encourages these works and He promised to give very good rewards for these honorable works.

Allah’s rewards for such conducts are beyond our dreams because Allah is the best ever Kind.

However, Allah’s rewards are only for the believers.

It is very unwise to expect a reward from the one you do not believe in Him.

The verses 14:18-20 of the Quran give the likeness and the description of the good Atheists’ works and their grievous loss in the Afterlife.

The parable of the Atheists’ works

The Atheists’ works are like ashes; the ashes are blowing about hither and thither by the wind.

The wind, which blows on them, is not an ordinary wind,

The day on which the wind blows is not an ordinary calm day.

A furious windstorm is blowing, for such is the Wrath of Allah.

They have neither internal peace nor external gain.

In the scattering of the ashes, they lose control even of such things as they might have earned but for their misbelief.

All their wishes to get rewarded go astray.

They are carried far away, from what was in their minds. What did they aim at, and what did they achieve?

No power have they over aught that they have earned:

That is the straying far, far from the goal.

Their works are just as one will not find ashes when the wind blows hard on it in the way that no rewards are resulting from such works.

“The works of those who disbelieve in their Lord are like ashes which the wind blows about fiercely on a stormy day. They cannot achieve any benefit from all that they might have earned. This [disbelief] is indeed going very far astray.”

Again, Atheists’ works are as ashes over which the wind blows hard on a tempestuous day, one in which the winds blow violently, making them as scattered dust, over which none can have power and they shall find no reward for it.

• That is the extreme error, which is far remote from the Truth or guidance.
• That is the extreme failure
• That is the extreme loss

Then have a look on how Allah, the Merciful, talk to them before it is too late for them.

Have not the Atheists seen that Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth?

If He will, He can take you away, O humankind, and bring [about] a new creation, in your place.

O Atheists If Allah will, He can

• remove you, or
• destroy you, or
• make you die,

In addition, He can bring in some new creation and will create other beings who are better than you are and more obedient to Allah.

That is no great matter for Allah

That is not very difficult for Allah;

Allah says:

It is not very difficult for Allah to terminate you and create different beings.

———————————

The perfect harmony of Quranic style

The image of Ashes Blowing about on a stormy day adds action to the concept that the Atheists’ workswill come to nothing.

People cannot hold on to any part of their actions, or make use of them. This image gives a far more profound effect than any expression of the same meaning of total loss in intellectual terms.

This scene expresses a basic truth about what the Atheists do.

Then the verses talk about the creation of Heavens and Earth before threatening the Atheists with Allah’s ability to replace them with a new creation.

This switch from the loss of the good Atheists’ work due to lack of faith and disbelief to a picture of the heavens and the earth is very natural in the Quran.

It is also natural in human feelings and perceptions.

This is a further indication of the divine source of the Quran.

There is a secret but intelligible discourse between man and the universe.

Human nature responds instinctively to this secret communication once it tunes in to it and receives its signals.

Those who do not notice these signals and indicators must examine their receptive abilities.

Such people are described in the Quran as blind. It is not possible for human life to prosper under a system, doctrine or philosophy promoted by someone who is blind.

The fact that the heavens and the earth have been created with the truth gives the impression of limitless ability and solid stability.

The truth is solid and stable even in the sound the word ‘truth’ makes.

This contrasts completely with the ashes blown about fiercely on a stormy day, dispersed far and wide, as it contrasts with people going astray.

In light of the fate suffered by dictators who stubbornly took the wrong side in the battle between truth and falsehood, a strong warning is issued:

“If He so wills, He can do away with you and bring into being a new creation.”

Allah who is able to create the heavens and the earth can easily replace the human race with a different one, or bring about a new community of humans in place of the present one.

Again the connotations of taking a community away to replace it with another fits properly with the image of ashes blown far away.

“This is no difficult thing for God.”

The creation of the heavens and the earth testify that it is indeed easy for Allah.

The fate of earlier unbelieving communities also testifies to it, and so do the ashes scattered hither and thither.

It is indeed a remarkable feature of the Quranic style that imagery and connotations slot together in perfect harmony.

———————————

The verses 14:18-19 in different translations:

QARIB:

18-As for the likeness of those who disbelieve in their Lord, their works are like ashes which a strong wind scatters on a stormy day; they are powerless over that they have earned; that is the far error.

19-Do you not see that Allah has created the heavens and the earth with truth? he can put you away if he will and bring into being a new creation;

20-Indeed, that is no great thing for Allah.

SHAKIR:

18-The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their actions are like ashes on which the wind blows hard on a stormy day; they shall not have power over anything out of what they have earned; this is the great error

19-Do you not see that Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth? if he please he will take you off and bring a new creation,

20-And this is not difficult for Allah

PICKTHAL:

18-A similitude of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their works are as ashes which the wind bloweth hard upon a stormy day. they have no control of aught that they have earned. that is the extreme failure.

19-Hast thou not seen that Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with truth? if he will, he can remove you and bring (in) some new creation;

20-And that is no great matter for Allah.

YUSUFALI:

18-The parable of those who reject their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a tempestuous day: no power have they over aught that they have earned: that is the straying far, far (from the goal).

19-Seest thou not that Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth? if he so will, he can remove you and put (in your place) a new creation?

20-Nor is that for Allah any great matter.

Angels in Islam (32) the Angel of Death and the disobedient

When the Angel of Death arrives to take away your soul, would he give you a chance to repent and act righteously?

————————————–

If you accept five things, and you are able to put them into practice, your disobedience to Allah will hurt you and will not cause you any problem.

A Real Story

A sinful disobedient who did all kinds of sins and did not observe Allah, get tired of his life’ style. The man came to “Ibrahim ibn Adham” seeking his advice.

The man said: O Ibrahim, I am unable to control myself. Please give me something to help me with it”

Ibrahim said: “If you accept five things, and are able to put them into practice, your disobedience will not cause you any problem.”

The man said: Please tell me what they are

Ibrahim said: “The first is that when you want to disobey Allah you do not eat anything He provides.”

The man said: “Then how will I get anything to eat? Everything on the earth is from Him!”

Ibrahim said: “So is it right to eat His provision and disobey Him at the same time?”

The man said: “No, it is not. What is the second thing?”

Ibrahim said: “When you want to disobey Allah, move off His land.”

The man said: “That is even more difficult! Screamed the man. “In that case where will I live?”

Ibrahim said: “Is it right to eat his provision and live on His land and then to disobey Him?”

The man said: “No, it is not. What is the third thing?”

Ibrahim said: “When you want to disobey Him in spite of eating His provision and living on His land, find a place where Allah will not see you and disobey Him there.”

The man said: “What do you mean? Allah knows and sees everything that happens even in the most hidden places!”

Ibrahim said: “So is it right to disobey Him when you eat His provision and live on His land and when you know that He can see everything you do?”

The man said: “certainly, it is not! Tell me the fourth thing.”

Ibrahim said: “That when the Angel of Death arrives to take away your soul, do not forget to say to him, ‘Give me a reprieve so that I can repent and act righteously for Allah.'”

The man said: “But he won’t listen to me!”

Ibrahim said: “Then if you cannot ward off death long enough to give yourself time to repent, and you know that when it comes there will be no reprieve, how can you hope to be saved?”

The man said: “What is the fifth?”

Ibrahim said: “That when the Angels of the Eternal Fire come to you to take you to the Fire, tell them that you will not go with them.”

The man said: “They will take me whether I like it or not!”

Ibrahim said: “So how can you hope to be saved?”

The man said: “Enough, enough, Ibrahim! The man mourned, swept his tears from his eyes, felt very sorry and said: I ask Allah’s forgiveness and I submit to Him!”

The man asked Allah’s forgiveness and he repented; his repentance was sincere and from that time on he was diligent in his worship and avoided acts of disobedience until the day he died.

In Bible vs. Quran, Jesus denied that He is God (16) His Mission

Both the Bible and Quran agree about the mission of Jesus. In the Bible, Jesus says “”I must preach the good news of God, for this is why I was sent”.

The Quran says: “The duty of the messenger is only to convey the message “; and also “The messenger is only to convey the message plainly.”

————————————-

The Lord Jesus went off to a deserted place, but the crowds tried to find him and when they did discover him, tried to prevent him from leaving them. But he told them to let Him go. Why?

Luke 4:43 says”

But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of God’s kingdom in other cities too, for this is why I was sent.” (Common English Bible) or:

“He told them, “Don’t you realize that there are yet other villages where I have to tell the Message of God’s kingdom” (The Message).

Herein, Jesus saying is composed of three parts:

1) The act “I must preach”

2) Preach what? Preach the Kingdom of God

3) Why? Because this is my Job “for this is why I was sent”

————————————-

Study of the available 42 different versions of the Bible to explore how they present the above three parts of Jesus saying reveal the following results:

1) The act

“I must preach, I must proclaim, I must tell, I must announce and I have to tell” is found in 37 versions.

“It is necessary for me to preach or to proclaim” is found in two versions. 

“it behooveth me to preach or to proclaim” is found in two versions. 

“People in other towns must hear the good news” in Contemporary English Version; and this is a Forged meaning.

2) Preach what? Preach the Kingdom of God.

The Kingdom of God is found in 40 and absent in New Life Version (the holy nation) and Young’s Literal Translation the reign of God.

3) Why? Because this is my Job “for this is why I was sent”

“For therefore was I sent or for this that I was sent” is found in 19 versions. 

“For I was sent for this purpose.” is found in 10 versions. 

“This is why I was sent” is found in nine versions.  

“Because that is what God sent me to do” in Good News Translation

“For that is what I was sent to do” in New English Translation

“That is my mission” in J.B. Phillips New Testament

————————————-

Anyway, Jesus said as mentioned above: “I have to tell the Message of God’s kingdom“

The principle of this message is: “”And this is the eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” and anyone believes that is there is no god but the only true God and Jesus is His messenger will dwell in Kingdom of God; that is the Eternal Paradise.

For more details, the smart reader is invited to read the articles:

In Bible vs. Quran, Jesus denied that He is God? (3) Sender vs. sent (a)

In Bible vs. Quran, Jesus denied that He is God? (3) Sender vs. sent (b)

In Bible vs. Quran, Jesus denied that He is God? (3) Sender vs. sent (c)

In Bible vs. Quran, Jesus denied that He is God (10) Greater than He

In Bible vs. Quran, Jesus denied that He is God (11) His God

Furthermore, it is interesting that Jesus said that he must preach, he must proclaim, he must tell, he must announce; and this is the duty of any messenger according to the Quran.

In the verses 5:99, 29:18 and 5:67, the Quran says that any messenger sent by Allah had to preach, proclaim, tell, announce and teach.

The verses 5:99, 29:18 and 5:67 (Pickthal translation);

Verse 5:99

The duty of the messenger is only to convey the message)

Verse 29:18

The messenger is only to convey the message plainly.

Verse 5:67

O messenger! Make known that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord, for if thou do it not, thou wilt not have conveyed his message.

That is why Jesus said: “I must preach, I must proclaim, I must tell, I must announce and/or I have to tell”

This is Allah (49) Allah Has Brought you a clear Book; Have you read it?

Is the Quran a Book of Mercy, How and for Who?

When the Disbelievers Hope to Return Back to the Life of this World Again?

The Disbelievers are Waiting the Day of Judgment; when it Comes it will be Too Late

Who Have Lost their Souls by Missing Paradise and Abiding in Eternal Fire?

————————————————————

This series is an attempt to help you to know Allah your Creator.

Verses 7:52-53 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) This is Allah (42) Allah Has Brought man a clear Book; Has he read it?

2) Is the Quran a Book of Mercy, How and for Who?

3) When the Disbelievers Hope to Return Back to the Life of this World Again?

4) The Disbelievers are waiting the Day of Judgment; when it comes it will be too late, and

5) Who Have Lost their Souls by Missing Paradise and Abiding in Eternal Fire?

————————————————————

In the previous articles, Allah describes the outcome of the believers versus the disbelievers.  Also, Allah illustrates the fate of the Men of the Heights who are not yet in Paradise or Hell; those whose Good Deeds and Evil Deeds are equal, What is their Hope and What they Say when they Look at the Dwellers of the Fire in the Hereafter.  Nevertheless, Those who disbelieve in Allah, Muhammad, the Noble Quran, the Angels and/or the Day of Judgment will end up in the Eternal Fire.  Have not they got Allah’s message to mankind through His Noble Book?

————————————————————

The meaning of verse 7:52

And indeed Allah has sent them, that is, the disbelievers,  Muhammad and brought them a Book, the Quran, which Allah has detailed, which Allah has made clear through tidings and the Promise of reward and the Threat of punishment, with Allah has brought them the Quran with knowledge, a guidance and a mercy from torment for a people who believe in Muhammad and the Quran.

However, the disbelievers are suspicious!

The meaning of verse 7:53

Are the disbelievers waiting? they are not waiting for anything but its fulfillment, the consequences of what is in it? In other words, what do the disbelievers wait for when they have refused to believe aught save the fulfillment thereof the consequence of what Allah has promised them in the Quran? On the day which is the Day of Judgment.

On the day when its fulfillment comes, which will be on the Day of Judgment, those who were forgetful of it before, those who neglected to believe in it, shall say, ‘Indeed, our Lord’s messengers came with the truth, with the exposition of the resurrection, Paradise and hell but we denied all.  Have we then any intercessors, that they may intercede for us to avoid the torment? Or shall we be returned, to the world, that we may act otherwise than we used to act?’, and instead affirm Allah’s Oneness and refrain from associating others with Him.

It will then be said to them, ‘No!’ Allah, exalted be He, says: Verily they have lost their souls by missing Paradise and abiding in hell,  for they have ended up in perdition, and that which they used to invent, in alleging that Allah has a partner, has a son, has failed, has abandoned, them.

————————————————————

Verses 7: 7:52-53in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

52) We have brought to them a book which we have made plain based upon knowledge, a guidance and a mercy to believers.

53) Are they waiting but for its fulfillment? on the day when it is realized, those who have forgotten it will say: ‘the messengers of our Lord have surely come with the truth. have we then any intercessors to intercede for us, or shall we be returned to do other than that we have done? ‘ they have lost their souls, and that which they invented will have gone astray from them.

SHAKIR:

52) And certainly we have brought them a book which we have made clear with knowledge, a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe

53) Do they wait for aught but its final sequel? on the day when its final sequel comes about, those who neglected it before will say: indeed the messengers of our Lord brought the truth; are there for us then any intercessors so that they should intercede on our behalf? or could we be sent back so that we should do (deeds) other than those which we did? indeed they have lost their souls and that which they forged has gone away from them

PICKTHAL:

52) Verily we have brought them a scripture which we expounded with knowledge, guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.

53) Await they aught save the fulfillment thereof? on the day when the fulfillment thereof cometh, those who were before forgetful thereof will say: the messengers of our Lord did bring the truth! have we any intercessors, that they may intercede for us? or can we be returned (to life on earth), that we may act otherwise than we used to act? They have lost their souls, and that which they devised hath failed them.

YUSUFALI:

52) For we had certainly sent unto them a book, based on knowledge, which we explained in detail,- a guide and a mercy to all who believe.

53) do they just wait for the final fulfillment of the event? on the day the event is finally fulfilled, those who disregarded it before will say: “the messengers of our Lord did indeed bring true (tidings). have we no intercessors now to intercede on our behalf? or could we be sent back? then should we behave differently from our behavior in the past.” in fact they will have lost their souls, and the things they invented will leave them in the lurch.

This is Allah (32) Allah’s Law: Every Nation has Predetermined Doom

The Disbelievers are the Inhabitants of the Eternal Fire in the Hereafter

In the Hereafter, there shall no Fear befall the Believers neither shall they Grieve

—————————————————-

Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to help them in order to know and acknowledge their Creator.

Verses 7:34-36 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) Allah’s Law: every nation has predetermined period of time to end up,

2) In the Hereafter, there shall no fear befall the Believers neither shall they grieve and 3) the disbelievers will be the rightful owners (inhabitants) of the Eternal Fire in the Hereafter; they will abide therein forever, never to die or be removed.

 

The previous articles showed the story of Adam and Satan. 

In the Noble Quran, Allah told Adam that Satan is his manifest enemy. 

Satan made Adam disobeyed Allah and he committed the first sin in the history of mankind.

The previous article talked about Allah Has sent down onto man a garment, and the best is the garment of righteous deeds, Satan loves your nakedness to manifest your shameful parts and Satan and his tribe see you from whence you do not see them,

Then the previous articles showed the harmful effect of Satan on the disbelievers as regards their faith.

 

The meaning of verse 7:34

And every nation, every people that have a religion have its term, an appointed time for its end, and when its term, the time of their end come, they cannot put it off an hour; they are not given reprieve one fraction of a second after their appointed time nor yet advance it; they are not finished before the appointed time, even if it be by one fraction of a second. In short, every community has a term, a limited period of time. When their term comes they shall not delay it a single hour nor bring it forward.

 

The meaning of verse 7:35

O Children of Adam! If messengers from among you, of your own, which are human beings like you come unto you to narrate and recite unto you My revelations, explaining commands and prohibitions, then whosoever refrained from evil, whosoever believes in the Scripture and messenger and amended that which is between him and his Lord; then there shall no fear regarding torment come upon them neither shall they grieve about missing Paradise.

 

The meaning of verse 7:36

But they who deny Allah’s revelations, His Scripture and His messengers scorn believing in them, they are the rightful owners (inhabitants) of the Eternal Fire; they will abide therein forever, never to die or be removed.

—————————————————-

Verses 7:34-36in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

34) To every nation a term; when their term comes they shall not delay it by a single hour, nor yet hasten it.

35) Children of Adam, when messengers of your own come to narrate to you my verses, those who are cautious and mend their ways will have nothing to fear neither shall they be saddened,

36) But, those who belie and grow proud against our verses shall be the inhabitants of the fire, and there they shall remain for ever.

 

SHAKIR:

34) And for every nation there is a doom, so when their doom is come they shall not remain behind the least while, nor shall they go before

35) O children of Adam! if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you my communications, then whoever shall guard (against evil) and act aright– they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve

36) And (as for) those who reject our communications and turn away from them haughtily– these are the inmates of the fire they shall abide in it

 

PICKTHAL:

34) And every nation hath its term, and when its term cometh, they cannot put it off an hour nor yet advance (it).

35) O children of Adam! when messengers of your own come unto you who narrate unto you my revelations, then whosoever refraineth from evil and amendeth – there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.

36) But they who deny our revelations and scorn them – each are rightful owners of the fire; they will abide therein.

 

YUSUFALI:

34) To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation).

35) O ye children of Adam! whenever there come to you messengers from amongst you, rehearsing my signs unto you,- those who are righteous and mend (their lives),- on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve.

36) But those who reject our signs and treat them with arrogance,- they are companions of the fire, to dwell therein (forever).

This is Allah (31) Allah forbids open and hidden adultery

Allah Commands: eat and drink but do not be excessive

Allah does not love those who are excessive and prodigal

Allah does not love those who are excessive

The Arabs used to forbid foods and clothes during the days of pilgrimage

The Arab Disbelievers were forbidding what Allah has not forbidden

Allah forbids open and Secret adultery

———————————————————

Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to help them in order to know and acknowledge their Creator.

Verses 7:31-33 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) Allah does not love those who are excessive and prodigal,

2) Allah Commands: eat and drink do not be excessive; He does not love those who are excessive,

3) The Arabs used to forbid themselves meat and fat during the days of pilgrimage,

4) The Arab Disbelievers were forbidding what Allah has not forbidden and

5) Allah forbids open and Secret adultery

 

The meaning of verse 7:31

O Children of Adam! Don your adornment, that which covers your nakedness, at every place of worship, at prayer and upon circumambulation of the Holy House in Mecca, and eat and drink, what you want, but do not be excessive; He truly does not love those who are excessive.

In other words, eat and drink, but do not be prodigal, do not declare unlawful wholesome foods. 

Lo! Allah does not love the prodigals, those who transgress by leaving the lawful and going after the unlawful even in eating and drinking..

This verse puts a golden principle about relationship between the health and food; one can speculate that over-eating is not only a health problem but also it is from Satan who made the Arabs before Islam worshiped Allah while they were NAKED!  See article 33.

 

The meaning of verse 7:32

Say O Muhammad to the disbelievers: ‘Who has forbidden the wearing of clothes during the days of pilgrimage, in the Sacred Precinct and upon circumambulation of the Holy House in Mecca? Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has brought forth for His servants, in the way of garments, and the good things, the delicious foods, and the good things of Allah’ sustenance and providing?’ For in the pre-Islamic days they used to forbid themselves meat and fat during the days of pilgrimage, and entered the Sacred Precinct completely naked: the men during the day and the women during the night. Allah made these practices unlawful.

Say: ‘These, on the Day of Resurrection, shall be exclusively for those who believed during the life of this world and the disbelievers will never have anything of that. Thus, in the Quran, We detail the signs, We explain them in such detail, for a people who know’, who reflect, for they are the ones to profit from these [signs].

In other words, all the good things, on the Day of Resurrection, will be only for those who believed during the life of the world in Muhammad and the Quran, while both believer and sinner will enjoy them during the life of this world. Allah elucidates the Quran by explaining the lawful and the unlawful for people who have knowledge, for people who believe it is from Allah.

 

The meaning of verse 7:33

Say) to them, O Muhammad: My Lord forbids only indecencies, grave sins, such as fornication, such of them as are apparent and such as are hidden, that is, the overt ones and the secret ones, and sin, the act of disobedience, and wrongful insolence, against people, namely, oppression, and that you associate with Allah that for which He never revealed any warrant, any definitive proof for such association, and that you say concerning Allah that which you do not know’, in the way of forbidding what He has not forbidden and other things.

In other words, Allah forbids only indecencies, adultery, (such of them as are apparent) open adultery (and such as are within) taking secret lovers, (and sin) intoxicants as the poet said: I sipped sin until my mind erred, Thus indeed does sin take away minds. I openly drank urns of sin, And between us benefiting, you see your goddess; (and wrongful oppression) unlawful overbearingness, (and that you associate with Allah that for which no warrant) no Scripture or proof (hath been revealed, and that ye tell concerning Allah that which ye know not) of forbidding crops and cattle, good things and raiment.

32) Say: who has prohibited the embellishment of Allah which he has brought forth for his servants and the good provisions? say: these are for the believers in the life of this world, purely (theirs) on the resurrection day; thus do we make the communications clear for a people who know

33) Say: my lord has only prohibited indecencies, those of them that are apparent as well as those that are concealed, and sin and rebellion without justice, and that you associate with Allah that for which he has not sent down any authority, and that you say against Allah what you do not know

32) Say: who hath forbidden the adornment of Allah which he hath brought forth for his bondmen, and the good things of his providing? say: such, on the day of resurrection, will be only for those who believed during the life of the world. thus do we detail our revelations for people who have knowledge.

33) Say: my lord forbiddeth only indecencies, such of them as are apparent and such as are within, and sin and wrongful oppression, and that ye associate with Allah that for which no warrant hath been revealed, and that ye tell concerning Allah that which ye know not.

33) Say: the things that my lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah, for which he hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge.

Allah does not love (17) the Corrupters

The Story of Qaroun, Moses’ cousin, in the Noble Quran

What the believers among the folk of Moses said to Qaroun?

Verses 28:76-83 of the Noble Quran are talking about “Qaroun”, Moses’ cousin, who was very rich man. He was corrupter in the earth in the earth through his disdain, haughtiness and great wealth.

Verses 28:76-77 are talking about who is Qaroun and what the believers among the folk of Moses, said to him.

The meanings of the verses 28:76-83 of the Noble Quran:

Verses 28:76-83 of the Noble Quran are talking about “Qaroun”, Moses’ cousin, who was very rich man. He was corrupter in the earth in the earth through his disdain, haughtiness and great wealth.

Verses 28:76-77 are talking about who is Qaroun and what the believers among the folk of Moses, said to him.  

Verse 28:76 says

Indeed, Qaroun was of Moses folk, he belonged to the people of Moses.

He was Moses’ paternal and maternal cousin.

Although he had believed in him in Moses, however, he oppressed his people, he transgressed against Moses, Aaron and their folk and he became insolent towards his people, through his disdain, haughtiness and great wealth.

He said: “Moses has been given messenger ship and Aaron religious authority while have nothing; this I will not accept”, and he rejected Moses’ prophet hood.

Allah had given Qaroun so many treasures that the number of their keys would verily have burdened a group of strong men, in other words, they would have been too heavy for such men.

The number of such men required is estimated to be 70 men

In other words, Allah gave him so much treasure and wealth that the stores thereof) the keys of his stores would verily have been a burden for a troop of mighty men; 70 men carried the keys of his stores

This indicates that he was very wealthy.

His people, the believers among the folk of Moses, said to him, ‘Do not be exultant, in your great wealth, an exultation of insolence; do not be too proud nor associate partners with Allah

Truly Allah does not love the exultant, in such things;

Allah does not love those who are too proud because of their wealth;

Verse 28:77 says

His people, the believers among the folk of Moses, said to Qaroun

But seek the abode of the Hereafter, Paradise in that which Allah has given you through that which Allah has given you of wealth and do not neglect your portion of the world, do not leave your portion in the Hereafter because of your portion in this worldly life;

It is also said: your portion of this worldly life will not diminish because of spending from it for the Hereafter,

And be kind to the poor and needy, even as Allah hath been kind to you by giving you great wealth,

In other words, they said to him:

But seek, in that which God has given you, of wealth, the Abode of the Hereafter, by expending it in obedience to God, and do not forget your share of this world, that is, [do not forget] to strive in it for the sake of the Hereafter; and be good, to people, by [giving] voluntary alms, just as God has been good to you. And do not seek to cause corruption in the earth, by committing acts of disobedience. 

Do not commit transgressions and oppose the command of the Messenger Moses,

Surely, Allah does not love the corrupters, who commit transgressions, meaning that He will punish them

—————————————————

Verses 28:76-77 in different translations:

QARIB:

76) Qaroun was one of Moses’ nation. But he was insolent to them, for we had given him such treasures that their very keys were too heavy a burden for even the strong. his people said to him: ‘do not exult; Allah does not love the boastful.

77) But seek, in that which Allah has given you to attain the everlasting residence. do not forget your share in this world. do good, as Allah has been good to you, and do not corrupt in the land, Allah does not love those who corrupt.

 

SHAKIR:

76) Surely Qaroun was of the people of Moses, but he rebelled against them, and we had given him of the treasures, so much so that his hoards of wealth would certainly weigh down a company of men possessed of great strength. when his people said to him: do not exult, surely Allah does not love the exultant;

77) And seek by means of what Allah has given you the future abode, and do not neglect your portion of this world, and do good (to others) as Allah has done good to you, and do not seek to make mischief in the land, surely Allah does not love the mischief-makers

 

PICKTHAL:

76) Now Qaroun was of Moses’ folk, but he oppressed them; and we gave him so much treasure that the stores thereof would verily have been a burden for a troop of mighty men. when his own folk said unto him: exult not; lo! Allah loveth not the exultant;

77) But seek the abode of the hereafter in that which Allah hath given thee and neglect not thy portion of the world, and be thou kind even as Allah hath been kind to thee, and seek not corruption in the earth; lo! Allah loveth not corrupters,

 

YUSUFALI:

76) Qaroun was doubtless, of the people of Moses; but he acted insolently towards them: such were the treasures we had bestowed on him that their very keys would have been a burden to a body of strong men, behold, his people said to him: “exult not, for Allah loveth not those who exult (in riches).

77) “But seek, with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on thee, the home of the hereafter, nor forget thy portion in this world: but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee, and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land: for Allah loves not those who do mischief.”

This is Allah (28) How Did Allah forgive both Adam and Eve?

What Adam and Eve said when they realized that they disobeyed Allah?

The Forgiveness has to be a direct process between you and your Creator without any in the middle of

Allah is the Relenting, the Merciful, the One Who overlooks misdeeds

The Golden words of Adam that became a way for him and his progeny to repentance

—————————————————

Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to help them in order to know their Creator.

Verses 7:23-25 of the Noble Quran talk about:
1) Did Allah forgive Adam and Eve?
2) What Adam and Eve said when they realized that they disobeyed Allah?
3) The Golden words of Adam that became a way for him and his progeny to repentance,
4) Allah is the Relenting, the Merciful, the One Who overlooks misdeeds and
5) The Golden words of Adam that became a way for him and his progeny to repentance.

—————————————————

In the previous article, Satan did lead both Adam and Eve on, to eat from the tree with lies until they ate from it. Then their nakedness was manifest to them and they began out of shame to hide by heaping on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And Allah called them: O Adam and Eve, saying: Did I not forbid you from that tree? Verily Satan is a manifest enemy to you?  Then what Adam and Eve said when they realized that they disobeyed Allah?

 

The meaning of verse 7:23

They said, ‘Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, by our act of disobedience, we have harmed ourselves by transgressing, and if You do not forgive us, if You do not overlook our transgression and have not mercy on us by not punishing us, surely we are of the lost!  We shall be of those duped into receiving punishment.

Allah, the Merciful forgave them and said:

 

The meaning of verse 7:24

He said: Go down from hence, that is, Adam and Eve, with all those you comprise of your seed, each of you, each seed, an enemy to the other, on account of the wrong each does to the another. There will be for you on earth an abode, a place of settlement, and enjoyment for a while’, until your terms of life are fulfilled. In other words, There will be for you on earth a habitation, a dwelling and shelter and provision for a while until death.

 

The meaning of verse 7:25

Allah said: ‘There, that is, on earth, you shall live, and there you shall die, and from there you shall be brought forth’, through the Resurrection on the Day of Judgment.

 

How Did Allah forgive both Adam and Eve?

This was the first sin of mankind.

Adam did not know what to do? He did not know how to ask Allah for forgiveness.

Of course, Allah, the Merciful, knew that.

Adam received certain words from Allah, with which He inspired him.

That words came to Adam, and these were: we have wronged ourselves with which Adam and Eve supplicated, and Allah relented to them, that is, Allah accepted their repentance; He forgave them; truly Allah is the Relenting, to His servants, the Merciful, to them. He is the One Who overlooks misdeeds.

That words of Adam became a way for him and his progeny to repentance.

This story tells us how to ask our Creator for forgiveness.

The process of forgiveness should go directly between you and your Creator without any “in-between”. Allah is the Forgiver, the Relenting, and the Merciful, and you are the sinful.

YUSUFALI:

24) (Allah) said: “get ye down. with enmity between yourselves. on earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of livelihood,- for a time.”

25) He said: “therein shall ye live, and therein shall ye die; but from it shall ye be taken out (at last).”
