This is Allah (36) Allah’s Curse Is On The Evildoers

When the Inhabitants of Paradise Will Call to the Inhabitants of the Fire?

Is Allah’s Promise in the Way of Reward and Favor TRUE?

Is the Chastisement which Allah Promised the Disbelievers TRUE?

The Disbelievers are Seeking the Crooked Way and are denying the Hereafter

—————————————————————-

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

Verses 7:44-45 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) Allah’s curse is on the evildoers,

2) When the inhabitants of Paradise will call to the inhabitants of the Fire?

3) Is Allah’s Promise in the way of Reward and favor True?

4) Is the chastisement which Allah promised the Disbelievers true? And

5) The Disbelievers are seeking the crooked way and are disbelieving in the Hereafter.

In the previous article,  I said that It would be fruitful to compare between circumstances and outcome of the believers vs., the disbelievers.

a)    What each of the two party shall say in the afterlife?

b)    What each of the two party shall have in the afterlife?

c)    What Allah shall say unto each of the two party?

d)    What the Angels shall say unto each of the two party?

The interested reader could find out the answer of these question when comparing the present article with the articles 33 through 37.”

Anyway, the believers will dwell in the Paradise forever and the disbelievers will dwell in the Fire forever.

Then, is the story of both parties ended up?

It is well known that  the disbelievers used to mock the believers as regards their faith in the life of this world. Look how the media is attacking Islam and Muslims everyday!

Hence, it is not amazing that the believers will ask the disbelievers this question that is mentioned in verse 7:44.

The meaning of verse 7:44

And the inhabitants of Paradise will call to the inhabitants of the Fire, either in affirmation or in reprimand: ‘We have found that which our Lord promised us, in the way of reward, to be true; have you found that, chastisement, which your Lord promised, you, to be true?’ They will say: ‘Yes!’ And then a crier, a caller, shall proclaim between them, between both parties, making them hear that: ‘God’s curse is on the evildoers,

In other words, the verse says: And the dwellers of the Garden cry unto the dwellers of the Fire: We have found that which our Lord promised us of reward and favor to be the Truth. Have you too O people of the Fire found that which your Lord promised of torment and humiliation to be the Truth?  They say: Yea, verily.

And a crier in between them between the people of Paradise and the people of hell cried: The curse of Allah the torment of Allah is on evil-doers, is on the disbelievers who…

The meaning of verse 7:45

Who bar, people, from Allah’s way, from His religion, desiring it, that is, they seek the way that is, crooked, disbelieving in the Hereafter’.

In other words, the disbelievers are those Who debar men from the path of Allah, who divert people from Allah’s religion and obedience and would have it crooked, would have it changed, and who are disbelievers in the Last Day in resurrection after death, in the Day of Judgment.

SHAKIR:

44) And the dwellers of the garden will call out to the inmates of the fire: surely we have found what our lord promised us to be true; have you too found what your lord promised to be true? they will say: yes. then a crier will cry out among them that the curse of Allah is on the unjust

45) “Those who would hinder (men) from the path of Allah and would seek in it something crooked: they were those who denied the hereafter.”

Allah does not love (22) the corrupters who light the fires of war

Who said: God’s hand is fettered’ and He cannot give

Allah’ hands are wide open and spread out in bounty for both the righteous and the sinner

Who wished to kill the Prophet Muhammad?

What nation likes to light the fires of war?

———————————————————————

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)    The swaggering braggart strutting in his steps,

6)    The harm doers,

7)    The vainglorious prideful boasters,

8)    Those that do wrong, the unjust,

9)    The impious and guilty,

10)The unfaithful and ungrateful,

11)The transgressors,

12)Those who exceed the limits,

13)The farthest who trespass beyond bounds,

14)The extravagant , Qaroun, Moses’ cousin and the alike and the mischief-maker.  

In this article, that Allah does not love the corrupters who light the fires of war.

The meanings of the verse 5:64 of the Noble Quran:

Verse 5:64 says:

The Jews said, when their circumstances became straitened, on account of their denial of the Prophet Muhammad, after having been the wealthiest of people:

‘God’s hand is fettered’ and cannot give; withholding the sending forth of provision upon us.

This was their metaphor for niggardliness

May God be exalted above this!

God, exalted be He, says: Fettered be, withheld be, their hands, from the performance of good deeds, as an invocation against them;

And they are cursed for what they have said.

They neither do good acts nor spend in good causes (and they are accursed

Nay, but His hands are extended out wide; a hyperbole for the attribute of generosity.

Both His hands are spread out wide in bounty; His hands are wide open for both the righteous and the sinner; He bestowed as He will, if He wishes, He gives, and if He wishes, He withholds.

The use in the verse of the dual for “yad”, ‘hand’, is intended to imply abundance, since the utmost that an affluent person can give freely of his wealth is when he gives it with both hands.

He expends how He will, in giving abundantly or straitening, and there can be no objection to this.

And what has been revealed to you from your Lord, of the Quran, will surely increase many of them in insolence and disbelief, because of their very disbelief in it;

And We have cast between them enmity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection, and so every sect among them is opposed to the other.

Every time they light the fires of war, that is, for war against the Prophet Muhammad, God extinguishes them, that is, every time they desire it (war), He repels them.

In other words, whenever they unite to kill Muhammad out of disobedience, Allah extinguished it; Allah makes them disunite and oppose each other.

They cause corruption in the land through preventing people from Muhammad and by inviting to other than Allah.

And they hasten about the earth in corruption, that is,

They hasten about corrupting, through acts of disobedience,

And Allah does not love corrupters, meaning that He will punish them.

Verse 5:64 in different translations

QARIB:

The Jews say: ‘the hand of Allah is chained. ‘their own hands are chained! and they are cursed for what they said! Rather, his hands are both outstretched, he spends as he will. that which Allah has sent down to you will surely increase the tyranny and disbelief of many of them. we have stirred among them enmity and hatred up until the day of resurrection. Whenever they kindle the fire of war, Allah extinguishes it. They spread corruption in the land, and Allah does not love those who corrupt.

SHAKIR:

And the Jews say: the hand of Allah is tied up! Their hands shall be shackled and they shall be cursed for what they say. nay, both his hands are spread out, he expends as he pleases; and what has been revealed to you from your lord will certainly make many of them increase in inordinacy and unbelief; and we have put enmity and hatred among them till the day of resurrection; whenever they kindle a fire for war Allah puts it out, and they strive to make mischief in the land; and Allah does not love the mischief-makers

PICKTHAL:

The Jews say: Allah’s hand is fettered. Their hands are fettered and they are accursed for saying so. Nay, but both his hands are spread out wide in bounty. He bestoweth as he will. that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy lord is certain to increase the contumacy and disbelief of many of them, and we have cast among them enmity and hatred till the day of resurrection. as often as they light a fire for war, Allah extinguisheth it. their effort is for corruption in the land, and Allah loveth not corrupters.

YUSUFALI:

The Jews say: “Allah’s hand is tied up.” be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. nay, both his hands are widely outstretched: he giveth and spendeth (of his bounty) as he pleaseth. but the revelation that cometh to thee from Allah increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the day of judgment. every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah doth extinguish it; but they (ever) strive to do mischief on earth. and Allah loveth not those who do mischief.

This is Allah (35) Does Allah Charge Any Soul Beyond its Scope?

The Outcome of those who Believe in Muhammad and Perform Righteous Deeds

The Believers shall Abide in the Paradise Forever Never to Die or be Removed

Who are the Rightful owners of the Paradise?

What if the Believers who Abide in the Paradise have had Rancor between them in the Life of this World?

What the Believers will say once they Have Settled in the Paradise?

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

Verses 7:42-43 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) Does Allah Charge any Soul Beyond its Scope?

2) The Outcome of those who Believe in Muhammad and Perform Righteous Deeds,

3) The Believers shall Abide in the Paradise Forever Never to Die or be Removed,

4) Who are the Rightful owners of the Paradise?

5) What if the Believers who Abide in the Paradise have had Rancor between them in the life of this world? And

6) What the Believers will say once they Have Settled in the Paradise?

 

In the previous article, the outcome of the disbelievers shall be the Eternal Fire,  Theirs will be a bed of hell, a bed of fire, and over them coverings of hell, of fire. Thus does Allah requite wrong-doers, the evildoers.  Now the question is: Have the disbelievers disbelieved because Allah has charged their soul beyond its scope its capacity for action?  The following verse answers this question:

 

The meaning of verse 7:42

Concerning the faith and deeds; Allah does not charge any soul beyond its scope, its capacity for action, Allah does not tax any soul in its effort beyond its capability; Allah never charge a soul with more than it can bear; in other words, Allah does not burden or place on any soul, but that which it can bear.

And for those who believe in Muhammad, and the Quran and perform righteous deeds and do good works

those are the inhabitants of Paradise, abiding therein

They, i.e. the believers, are rightful owners of the Garden, the folk of Paradise. They abide therein forever never to die or be removed.

 

The meaning of verse 7:43

What if the believers who shall abide in the Paradise have had between them, in the life of this world, rancor, resentment, bitterness etc.?

Allah shall strip away all rancor, resentment, bitterness etc. Allah shall strip away all spite that existed between them in the world, that is in their breasts; 

and wherein they shall abide in the Paradise, beneath their palaces, the rivers flow;

and they will say, once they have settled in their dwellings: ‘Praise be to Allah, Who guided us to this, action, the reward of which is this Paradise; for we would surely never have been guided if Allah had not guided us.

Verily the messengers of our Lord did bring the truth.’

And it is cried to them: ‘This is your Paradise; you have inherited it for what you used to do’.

It is also said that the verse means that Allah will remove whatever rancor, resentful envy or enmity may be in their hearts in the life of this world. Rivers of wine, water, honey and milk flow beneath them beneath their habitations and beds in the Hereafter. And they say when they reach their habitations; and it is said: when they reach the source of life: The praise to Allah gratitude and benevolence are Allah’s, Who has guided us to this habitation and source. We could not truly have been led aright if Allah had not guided us to it;

it is also said that when they see Allah’s favor when He bestowed faith upon them, they said: praise and thanks are due to Allah Who has guided us to the religion of Islam, and we would not have been guided to the religion of Islam had not Allah guided us to it.

Then they will say: ‘Verily the messengers of our Lord did bring the Truth, they brought truth, glad tiding, reward and favor.

And it is cried unto them (the Angels will say unto them): This is the Garden, This is the Paradise. You inherit it, you were given it for what you used to do and say of good things in the life of this world.

 

It would be fruitful to compare between the believers and the disbelievers as regards their circumstances and outcome.

What each of the two party shall say in the afterlife?

What each of the two party shall have in the afterlife?

What Allah shall say unto each of the two party?

What the Angels shall say unto each of the two party?

The interested reader could find out the answer of these question when comparing the present article with the articles 33 through 37.
