Atheists in Quran (37) password to log in Paradise

This article discusses the following issues: 1) the friendly Atheists today = the enemies tomorrow, 2) the Atheists gave nasty names to the Prophet Muhammad, 3) The ever-best word that all the messengers and prophets from Noah to Jesus have said and 4) What is man’s password to log in Paradise.

———————————

In Surah 37, the verses 27-32 describe a dramatic scene that will happen to the friends among the Atheists today.

In conclusion, the verses say that:

The friendly Atheists today = the enemies tomorrow

The verses say that the Atheists today are notable prideful leaders and their careless followers. Both groups are very friendly in the life of this world.

Nevertheless, how they are on the Day of Judgment when they behold the truth that they used to deny in this life?

Would be still friends?

No

The careless foolish followers among the Atheists will blame the notable prideful leaders as being the cause of their astray and loss!

Then, what the notable prideful leaders say to them?

They will say:

Both you and we are in the same position, deserving of Allah’s punishment for not heeding the warnings. You joined us because of your propensity to follow error. We did nothing to you; instead, you followed us in our error.

Then, what Allah promised both of them?

The verses 37:33-39 say:

They on that day, the Day of Resurrection, the Day of Judgment, will share in the chastisement, for they shared in the error. Both are sharers in the doom.

Lo! Thus, Allah deal with the sinners

We chastise both of them the followers and those who were followed (the leaders).

For when it was said unto them in the life of the world, say: “There is no God save Allah”, they were:

Scornful

Too proud to say it

Not only that, but they would say, ‘Are we to abandon our gods for a mad poet?

Herein they, sarcastically give names to the Prophet Muhammad as a mad poet

Shall we leave the worship of our gods (idols, pride, ego etc.) for a mad poet who invents lies?

Herein they, mockingly give another names to the Prophet Muhammad as an inventor of lies and claiming that the Quran is but lies!

Allah, exalted be He, says:

Nay, but he (Muhammad) has brought them the truth and confirmed the earlier messengers, namely, those who had also brought this truth, which is that “There is no God save Allah”

Nay, but he (Muhammad) brought the Quran and the profession of Allah’s divine Oneness, and he confirmed those sent before him and he brought a confirmation of the messengers who were sent before him.

Then what?

Allah will tell both of them on the Day of Judgment:

You shall certainly taste the painful chastisement,

Lo! Now, verily you taste the painful doom in the Eternal Fire.

Herein, in the Hereafter, Allah requites you the requital for,

What you used to believe in.

What you used to do

What you used to say

Our belief, works and sayings in this life determine our outcome in the Afterlife.

Back to the principle word of the Religion

“There is no God save Allah”

It is required that every human being has to believe and say this word.

This is the ever-best word that you can utter in this life

This word = man’s password to log in Allah’s gate

The Prophet Muhammad said:

The ever-best word I said, and the ever-best word all the messengers and prophets before me have said is “There is no God save Allah”

The entire Messengers and Prophets from Adam, Noah up to Moses and Jesus said, “There is no God save Allah” and so did the last Prophet Muhammad.

In Hadith (Muhammad’ sayings):

If you put the entire universe in a pan of a balance, and you put in the other pan “There is no God save Allah”, then:

What would be the weightier?

The pan contains “There is no God save Allah” is the weightier

Be sure that without saying this word “There is no God save Allah”, man will never ever see Paradise and he is but loser!

This is a sincere gift to the smart readers.

The verses 37:33-39 in different translations:

QARIB:

33-Therefore, on that day they will all share our punishment.

34-As such we shall deal with the evildoers.

35-For when it was said to them: ‘there is no god except Allah, ‘ they were always proud

36-And said: ‘are we to renounce our gods for the sake of a mad poet? ‘

37-No, indeed, he has brought the truth, and confirmed the messengers.

38-You shall certainly taste the painful punishment:

39-But you shall not be recompensed except for what you were doing.

SHAKIR:

33-So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another

34-Surely thus do we deal with the guilty

35-Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: there is no god but Allah;

36-And to say: what! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?

37-Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the messengers

38-Most surely you will taste the painful punishment

39-And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did

PICKTHAL:

33-Then lo! This day they (both) are sharers in the doom.

34-Lo! Thus deal we with the guilty.

35-For when it was said unto them, there is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful

36-And said: shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?

39-But it will be no more than the retribution of (the evil) that ye have wrought;-

Angels in Islam (22) every man will see them-A

The unbelievers wanted to see the Angels.

It is not good for the unbelievers to see the Angels; however, it will eventually happen.

The meanings of the verses 25:21-22 of the Noble Quran:

The unbelievers who deny the Day of Judgment, who do not believe in resurrection after death, and hence have no fear of the Resurrection, and do not expect to encounter Allah saod unto the Prophet Muhammad:

• Why have the Angels not been sent down to us, to inform us that Allah sent you to us?
• Or why do we not see our Lord to ask Him about you?
• So that we might be informed by Him, directly, that Muhammad is truly His Messenger?

Allah, exalted be He, said:

• Assuredly they think too highly of themselves when they ask to see Allah;
• They are full of arrogance within their souls and have become terribly insolent, in demanding to see Allah.
• They are scornful with great pride refusing to believe.

It is also said that they dared to ask for a tremendous thing when they asked for the Angels to come to them.

But, why seeing the Angels is a tremendous thing?

The verse 25:22 gives the answer, it means:

The day when they see the Angels, there will be no good tidings on that day for the unbelievers (in contrast to the believers for whom there shall be the good tidings of Paradise).

It is said that both the Angels and the unbelievers will say one word that is “A forbidding ban”

The Angels will cry: “A forbidding ban” they mean: the glad tiding of Paradise is forbidden for the unbelievers

The unbelievers will say: “A forbidding ban” upon seeing the Angels; they mean:

• Let a great distance be between you and us!
• We seek refuge from the Angels (who will chastise them)

Interestingly, this word: “A forbidding ban” was their custom in the life of this world whenever a misfortune befell them

 

In addition, Allah has described the unbelievers by “those who are wronging themselves” (the verse 16:28)

How they are wronging themselves? Through disbelief

What about them when the Angels cause them to die by taking off their souls?

First, they will see the Angels

Second, they will offer becoming compliant and submitting themselves to belief in Allah, saying:

• we were not doing any evil’,
• we used not to do any wrong
• we did not worship anything save Allah nor did we associate partners with Him

It is said that the Liar in this life is also a liar in the Afterlife

Then, the Angels will say:

‘Nay! Surely Allah is Knower of what you used to do’, and He will requite you for it

For this reason, it is not good for the unbelievers to see the Angels; however, it will eventually happen.

The verses 25:21-22 in different translations:

QARIB:

21-Those who do not hope to meet us ask: ‘why have no Angels been sent to us? Why can we not see our Lord? ‘How proud they are within themselves, and have become greatly disdainful.

22-On the day when they behold the Angels, there will be no glad tidings for the sinners. They will say: ‘a refuge which is forbidden!

SHAKIR:

21-And those who do not hope for our meeting, say: why have not Angels been sent down upon us, or (why) do we not see our Lord? Now certainly they are too proud of themselves and have revolted in great revolt

22-On the day when they shall see the Angels, there shall be no joy on that day for the guilty, and they shall say: it is a forbidden thing totally prohibited

PICKTHAL:

21-And those who look not for a meeting with us say: why are Angels not sent down unto us and (why) do we not see our Lord! Assuredly they think too highly of themselves and are scornful with great pride.

22-On the day when they behold the Angels, on that day there will be no good tidings for the guilty; and they will cry: a forbidding ban!

YUSUFALI:

21-Such as fear not the meeting with us (for judgment) say: “why are not the Angels sent down to us, or (why) do we not see our Lord?” indeed they have an arrogant conceit of themselves, and mighty is the insolence of their impiety!

22-The day they see the Angels, – no joy will there be to the sinners that day: the (Angels) will say: “there is a barrier forbidden (to you) altogether!”

 

The verse 16:28 in different translations:

QARIB:

Whom the Angels take while they were still harming themselves. ‘Then they will offer submission, saying: ‘we have done no evil! ‘No, surely Allah knows what you have done.

SHAKIR:

Those whom the Angels cause to die while they are unjust to themselves. Then would they offer submission: we used not to do any evil. Aye! Surely Allah knows what you did

PICKTHAL:

Whom the Angels cause to die while they are wronging themselves. Then will they make full submission (saying): we used not to do any wrong. Nay! Surely Allah is knower of what ye used to do.

YUSUFALI:

“(Namely) those whose lives the Angels take in a state of wrong-doing to their own souls.” then would they offer submission (with the pretence), “we did no evil (knowingly).” (The Angels will reply), “nay, but verily Allah knoweth all that ye did;

Angels in Islam (11) neither Jesus nor the Angels disdain

In the Quran, the Angels are Allah’s honored slaves

In the Bible, the Angels are sons of God who married the daughters of the People!

——————————————-

Throughout the history, man was confused about the nature of the Angels.

The scholars and the philosophers have four different belief concerning the nature of Angels and who they are:

1)    The first party believes that they are the sons of God

2)    The second party believes that they are the daughters of God

3)    The third party believes that they are God

4)    The fourth party believes that they are partners of God

 

The Quran denies, rebuts and disproves all of the above belief.

In the previous article, we have seen how the Quran denies the Bible’s claim that the Angels are the sons of God who married the daughters of the People!(Genesis 6:2)

 

In addition, the Christians claim that Jesus is the son of God.

The verses 4:171 – 173 denies also this claim and gives fertile guidance to the Christians,

The verses give the following Ten fertile guidance:

1) O People of the Gospel, do not go beyond the bounds, in your religion and do not say about Allah except the truth, such as exalting Him above any associations with a partner or a son:

2) The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was only the Messenger of Allah, and not as you claim, that he is the son of God, while Allah has no son.

3) So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say ‘Three’.

4) Refrain, from this and say what, it is better for you, [to say], which is the profession of His Oneness. Verily, Allah is but the only One God.

5) Glory be to Him, transcending the possibility, that He should have a son!

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants including the Angels,

6) And such sovereignty is not compatible with the prophet hood of Jesus.

Allah suffices as a Guardian, a Witness to this.

7) The Messiah, Jesus, would never disdain, scorn or reject haughtily, to be a slave of Allah, neither would the Angels who are close and favored, to Allah, disdain to be servants of Allah.

this is a splendid digression [to the matter of the angels], and it is mentioned as a refutation of those who claim that they [the angels] are son(s) of gods, just as He refuted the Christians who claim that which is the subject of the address to them [above].

Then the Quran says:

8) Whoever disdains to be slave of Allah, whoever disdains to worship Allah, and waxes proud, Allah will assuredly gather all of them to Him in the Day of Judgment.

9) As for those who believed, who did righteous deeds, He will pay them in full their wages, the reward for their deeds, and He will give them more of His bounty, what no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no man’s heart has ever wished for; and

10) As for them who disdain and are too proud, to worship Him, He will chastise them with a painful chastisement, which is the chastisement of the Eternal Fire, and they shall not find for themselves, besides Allah, that is, other than Him, any friend, to ward it off them, or helper, to protect them from it.

——————————————-

The verses 4:171 – 173 in two different translations

PICKTHAL:

171) O people of the scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word which he conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and his messengers, and say not “three” – cease! (It is) better for you! – Allah is only one Allah. Far is it removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as defender.

172) the messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah, nor will the favoured angels. Whoso scorneth his service and is proud, all such will he assemble unto him;

173) Then, as for those who believed and did good works, unto them will he pay their wages in full, adding unto them of his bounty; and as for those who were scornful and proud, them will he punish with a painful doom. And they will not find for them, against Allah, any protecting friend or helper.

YUSUFALI:

171) O people of the book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and his word, which he bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from him: so believe in Allah and his messengers. Say not “trinity”: desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: glory be to him: (far exalted is he) above having a son. To him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.

172) Christ disdaineth nor to serve and worship Allah, nor do the angels, those nearest (to Allah): those who disdain his worship and are arrogant,-he will gather them all together unto himself to (answer).

173) But to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, he will give their (due) rewards, – and more, out of his bounty: but those who are disdainful and arrogant, he will punish with a grievous penalty; nor will they find, besides Allah, any to protect or help them.

Allah does not love (8) the Unjust

The Blessings God bestows upon the Disbelievers are …!

The days of the life of this world are vicissitudes, the Quran and the History said

———————————————————————-

We have seen that Allah does not love those:

1) the disbelievers,

2) the arrogant,

3) those who reject faith,

4) the proud and the boastful,

5) any swaggering braggart, strutting in his steps,

6) the harm doers and

7) any vainglorious prideful boasters.

In this article, that Allah does not love the Unjust;  those that do wrong.

Moreover, the Quran declares the fact that the days of the life of this world are vicissitudes among men, folks and nations

———————————————————————-

The meanings of verse 3:140 of the Noble Quran:

Background:

The Day of Badr is the first battle between the believers (300 men) and the disbelievers (1000 men); the believers won that battle in great astonishing success.

The Day of Uhud is the second battle between the believers (550 men) and the disbelievers (1200 men), at first the believers won then the disbelievers won at the end.

Verse 3:140 says that:

If a wound touches you, befalls you at Uhud,

If ye have received a blow, if you were harmed on the Day of Uhud

The people of Mecca, the disbelievers, have received on the Day of Badr harm like the harm you received on the Day of Uhud.

i.e., a like wound, already, at Badr, has touched the other people, the disbelievers.

These are only the vicissitudes, the days of the life of this world, which Allah cause to follow one another for mankind, sometimes the believers have the upper hand over the unbelievers and sometimes it is the unbelievers who have the upper hand over the believers,

Such days Allah deal out in turn, Allah dispense them, among mankind, one day for one group, the next day for another, that they might be admonished,

And that God may know, through knowledge manifested outwardly, those who believe, who are sincere in their faith from others;

And that He may take witnesses from among you, honoring them with martyrdom, and God loves not the evildoers, the disbelievers,

That is, He will chastise them severely at the day of Judgment,

And the blessings He bestows upon the disbelievers are only a means of drawing out their punishment.

The days of the life of this world are vicissitudes:

This is a fact that said in the Noble Quran more than 1400 years ago.  Anyone who studies the history of men, folks and nations appreciates and acknowledges such fact.

———————————————————————-

Verse 3:140 in different translations

QARIB:

If a wound touches you, a similar wound already has touched the nation. Such days we alternate between the people so that Allah knows those who believe, and that he will take witnesses from among you, for Allah does not love the harm doers,

SHAKIR:

If a wound has afflicted you (at Uhud), a wound like it has also afflicted the (unbelieving) people; and we bring these days to men by turns, and that Allah may know those who believe and take witnesses from among you; and Allah does not love the unjust.

PICKTHAL:

If ye have received a blow, the (disbelieving) people have received a blow the like thereof. these are (only) the vicissitudes which we cause to follow one another for mankind, to the end that Allah may know those who believe and may choose witnesses from among you; and Allah loveth not wrong-doers.

YUSUFALI:

If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) we give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that he may take to himself from your ranks martyr-witnesses (to truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.

The meanings of verses 3:56-57 of the Noble Quran:

Verse 3:56 says:

As for those who disbelieve in Allah and in His messenger Muhammad,

Allah shall chastise them with a terrible chastisement in this world and the Hereafter,

In this world by exposing them physically to the sword and the capitation tax, loss of heath, kids, wealth etc. and mentally, by exposing them to many psychological disorders.

In the Hereafter by throwing them into the Eternal Fire

And they will have no helpers to save them from Allah’s punishment in this world or in the Hereafter

But as for those who believe in Allah, the Scripture and His messenger Muhammad, who do righteous deeds, and do good works sincerely between them and their Lord,

Allah will pay them their wages in full.

Allah will pay them their reward on the Day of Judgment.

Allah does not love the wrong-doers, the idolaters, with their transgressions and association of partners or son with Allah.
