This is Allah (45) Allah Sent Shuayb to Madyan

The Arabic Prophet Shuayb said: Do Not Defraud and Do Not Be Crooked

Allah Commands: Give Full Measure and Weight and Do Not Diminish the Value of People’s Goods

Allah Commands: Do Not Work Corruption by Committing Transgressions

Allah Commands: Do Not Scare and Terrify People

Allah Commands: Do Not Charge People Unfair Excise Taxes

——————————————-

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

The verses 7:85-86 of the Noble Quran talk about: Allah sent the messenger Shuayb to Madyan saying: do not defraud and do not work corruption ; and Allah Commands:

1) give full measure and weight and do not diminish the value of people’s goods,

2) do not work corruption by committing transgressions,

3) do not Scare or terrify people and

4) do not charge people unfair excise taxes.

——————————————-

The meaning of verse 7:85

And, Allah sent, to Madyan (Midian) their brother the Messenger Shuayb.  He said, ‘O my people, worship Allah! Profess Allah’s divine Oneness; you have no god other than Him, in whom I am enjoining you to believe.

Verily there has come to you a clear proof from your Lord regarding Allah’s message to prove my truthfulness.

So give full measure and weight and do not defraud, do not diminish the value of people’s goods, do not wrong mankind in their goods;

and do not work corruption in the earth, by way of unbelief and acts of disobedience, after it has been set right, through the sending of messengers thereto.

In other words, work not confusion in the earth by committing transgressions and calling to other than Allah and by not giving full measure and full weight.

That, the profession of Allah’s divine Oneness and giving full measure and weight, will be better for you than that in which you are now, if ye are believers in what I say to you, so hasten to it.

 

The meaning of verse 7:86

Do not Lurk on every road that people use to threaten, beat, scare and take the clothes of strangers, and to turn away the believers from Allah’s path, from Allah’s religion and obedience, and to seek to make it crooked, and seek to make it other than what it is.

In other words, And do not sit in every path, every route, threatening, terrifying people by seizing their garments, or by charging them excise tax, and barring, driving away, from Allah’s way, from His religion, those who believe in Him; when you threaten to kill them and desiring that it, seeking that the path, be crooked. 

And remember, when you were but few in number, how Allah did multiply you in number.

And see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters!

See how was the end result of the idolaters and corrupters before you through destruction.

In other words, Shuayb said unto them:

And remember when you were but few, and then He multiplied you. And behold what was the end of the agents of corruption, before you, for denying their messengers, that is, behold how destruction was the conclusion of their affair.

86)  “And squat not on every road, breathing threats, hindering from the path of Allah those who believe in him, and seeking in it something crooked; but remember how ye were little, and he gave you increase. and hold in your mind’s eye what was the end of those who did mischief.

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.

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.”

This is Allah (2) everything in heavens and earth belong to Allah

1)    What if you prefer the life of the world more than the Afterlife?

Many people do not know Allah.  This series is an attempt to introduce to help them.

Allah, to who belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants.  And “Woe” is to the disbelievers from a terrible chastisement.  It is said that “Woe” here refers to the hottest, narrowest and deepest valley in Eternal Hell that is waiting for those…

 

In the Noble Quran, verse 14:2 says that:

Allah, to who belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants. In other words, unto whom belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth of creation and wondrous things.

(And woe unto the disbelievers from an awful doom, a severe torment)

It is said that “Woe” here refers to the hottest, narrowest and deepest valley in hell. This valley would cry: “O Lord! My heat is intense, my width is very narrow and my depth is so deep, so let me take revenge on those who disobeyed you and make that nothing takes revenge against me”,

And woe to the disbelievers from a terrible chastisement,

 

Then verse 14:3 describes the disbelievers who deserve this “Woe”

Those who love and prefer the life of the world more than the Hereafter,

Those who love to enjoy living for few more than to enjoy living eternally.

And ban men from the way of Allah,

And prohibit people from Allah’s religion and obedience

And would have the life of this world crooked

Such the disbelievers are far astray from the Truth and guidance;

It is also said that this means: they are in manifest error.

And Woe, the worst place in the Eternal Hell is waiting for them!
