This is Allah (63) Why Did Allah Reward the Israelites with Victory?

Allah Caused the Israelite to Inherit the Land

Allah bequeathed upon the Children of Israel, the people who were oppressed, through bondage, the eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which Allah had blessed, with water, fertile land, fruits and trees.

Why Did Allah Reward the Israelite with Victory?

Because they endured patiently; hence the fair word of Allah to reward them with victory was fulfilled and became incumbent for the Children of Israel because of their endurance in the face of affliction.

Allah annihilated that entire Pharaoh and his Folk Had Done of…

Allah annihilated, destroyed all that Pharaoh and his folk had done of castles and townships and that they had contrived and that which they had planted of trees and vines; it is also said that this means: that which they had built.

Who Were the People Whom the Israelite Have Seen After Their Exodus …?

What the Israelite Said unto Moses When They Have Seen the Idolaters?

The Quran says: When the Israelite have seen the worshipers of idols, they said unto Moses: ‘O Moses, make for us a god, an idol for us to worship, just as they have gods.’

What Moses has replied the Israelite When They Asked Him to Make For Them an Idol?

The Quran says: when the Israelite asked Moses to make for them an idol to worship. 

Moses has replied them: ‘Truly you are an ignorant folk’

The meaning of verse 7:137

And Allah bequeathed upon the Children of Israel, the people who were oppressed, through bondage, the eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which Allah had blessed, with water, fertile land, fruits and trees.

And the fair word of your Lord was fulfilled, which was His saying, exalted be He (in verse 28:5):

Yet We desired to be gracious to those who were oppressed in the land, namely, the Children of Israel because they endured patiently, persecution at the hands of their enemy.

And Allah destroyed utterly what Pharaoh and his folk had been creating, by way of architecture, and what they had been erecting, what they had been raising of edifices.

In other words, Allah caused the folk who were despised, who were humiliated to inherit the eastern and the western parts of the land the land thereof which Allah had blessed, with water and trees.  And the fair word of the Lord to reward them with victory was fulfilled and became incumbent for the Children of Israel because of their endurance in the face of affliction;

it is also said: for their endurance upon their religion; and Allah annihilated, destroyed all that Pharaoh and his folk had done of castles and townships and that they had contrived and that which they had planted of trees and vines; it is also said that this means: that which they had built.

The meaning of verse 7:138

And Allah brought the Children of Israel across the sea, and they came upon, they passed by, a people cleaving in devotion to idols they had, constantly worshiping them.

When the Israelite have seen them (the worshipers of idols) they said unto Moses: ‘O Moses, make for us a god, an idol for us to worship, just as they have gods.’ He said, ‘Truly you are an ignorant folk, for repaying God’s grace to you with what you have said.

In other words, Allah brought the Children of Israel across the sea, and they came unto a people who were remnants of the people of Abraham, who were given up to idols which they had, who worshiped idols. They said: O Moses! Make for us a god show us a god to worship even as they have gods to worship. Moses said: Lo! are ignorant; you are a folk who do not know not the command of Allah.

The verses 7:137-138 in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

137) We gave the persecuted nation dominion over the eastern and western lands which we had blessed. so the word of your Lord, the finest, was fulfilled for the children of Israel because of their patience; and we destroyed the edifices, and towers of pharaoh and whatsoever they manufactured.

138) And we moved the children of Israel from one side of the sea to the other, and they came upon a nation zealously devoted to the idols they had. they said to Moses: ‘make a god for us, as they have gods. ‘Moses replied: ‘you are indeed an ignorant nation.

SHAKIR:

137) and we made the people who were deemed weak to mhent the eastern lands and the western ones which we had blessed; and the good word of your Lord was fulfilled in the children of Israel because they bore up (sufferings) patiently; and we utterly destroyed what Firon and his people had wrought and what they built

138)  And we made the children of Israel to pass the sea; then they came upon a people who kept to the worship of their idols they said: o Musa! make for us a god as they have (their) gods he said: surely you are a people acting ignorantly:

PICKTHAL:

137) And we caused the folk who were despised to inherit the eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which we had blessed. and the fair word of thy Lord was fulfilled for the children of Israel because of their endurance; and we annihilated (all) that pharaoh and his folk had done and that they had contrived.

138)  And we brought the children of Israel across the sea, and they came unto a people who were given up to idols which they had. they said: o Moses! make for us a god even as they have gods. he said: lo! ye are a folk who know not.

137) And we made a people, considered weak (and of no account), inheritors of lands in both east and west, – lands whereon we sent down our blessings. the fair promise of thy Lord was fulfilled for the children of Israel, because they had patience and constancy, and we levelled to the ground the great works and fine buildings which pharaoh and his people erected (with such pride).

138)  We took the children of Israel (with safety) across the sea. they came upon a people devoted entirely to some idols they had. they said: “o Moses! fashion for us a god like unto the gods they have.” he said: “surely ye are a people without knowledge.

This is Allah (53) Who Does Allah Seal up their Hearts?

Do the Disbelievers Feel Secure From the Coming of Allah’s Chastisement?

The Quran is the First Book That Talks About the Difference in the Time on the Earth

None Deems Himself Secure From Allah’s Scheme and Punishment Save the Losers

Allah Says: Does not the Destruction of the Ancient Nations Help the Deniers to Believe?

—————————————————

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

Verses 7:97-100 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) Do the Disbelievers feel secure from the coming of Allah’s chastisement?

2) None deems himself secure from Allah’s punishment save the disbelievers, the losers,

3) Who does Allah seal up their hearts?

4) None deems himself secure from Allah’s scheme and punishment save the disbelievers, the losers,

5) Allah says: does not the destruction of the ancient nations help the deniers to believe? And

6) the Quran is the first book that talks about the difference in the time on the earth.

—————————————————

The meaning of verse 7:97

Do the people of the townships, the deniers, feel secure from the coming of Allah’s wrath, Allah’s might, Allah’s chastisement, upon them as a night-raid while they are sleeping? And are completely unaware of it?

 

The meaning of verse 7:98

Or, the people of the townships, the deniers, feel secure from the coming of Allah’s wrath, Allah’s might, Allah’s chastisement, upon them in the daytime while they are playing? Playing herein may be literally used or as they are engaging in falsehood.

This verse talks about the coming Allah’s chastisement.  It is said that Allah’s chastisement will come at a specific time.  At such a specific time, we know that the time in half of the earth is day time while the time in the other half of the earth is night time.  The disbelievers are in the two halves.

So, when Allah’s chastisement comes, the disbelievers are either in day time or in night time.

It is a miracle of the Noble Quran to speak out about the difference in the time on the earth at a specific hour in which Allah’s chastisement shall come.

This scientific fact has been discovered after the revelation of the Noble Quran by more than 1200 years.

Consequently, it is likely to assume that the Quran is the first book on the earth that talks about the difference in the time on the earth at a specific hour

 

The meaning of verse 7:99

And so do they feel secure from Allah’s plotting?, from Allah’s scheming? that is, His drawing them on by degrees, through graces, and then seizing them suddenly. None feels secure from Allah’s scheming but the people who are losers, disbelievers; None deems himself secure from Allah’s scheme and punishment save the disbelievers

 

The meaning of verse 7:100

Is it not an indication, is it not clear to those who inherit the land after the destruction of its people that, if He will, Allah can smite them, punish them for their sins as He punished many nations before them; and seals their hearts so that they do not hear the messages of guidance and do not believe in Muhammad or the Quran?

In other words, the verse says:

Has it not been shown, [has it not] become clear, to those who inherit the earth, as a [place of] habitation, after, the destruction of, those who inhabited it that, if Allah will, He could smite them, with chastisement, for their sins?, as He smote those before them?

And, Allah seals up their hearts so that they do not hear, the admonition, in a way so as to reflect.

Verses 7:97-100 in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

97) Do the inhabitants of the villages feel secure from our might coming to them at night whilst they sleep?

98) Or do the inhabitants of the villages feel secure from our might coming to them in the midmorning while they play?

99) (In reply to your devising) do they feel secure from the devising of Allah? none feels secure from the devising of Allah except the loosing nation.

100) Is it not plain to those who inherit the earth after its inhabitants that if we willed we could smite them for their sins and set a seal upon their hearts, so that they do not hear.

 

SHAKIR:

97) What! do the people of the towns then feel secure from our punishment coming to them by night while they sleep?

98) What! do the people of the towns feel secure from our punishment coming to them in the morning while they play?

99) What! do they then feel secure from Allah’s plan? but none feels secure from Allah’s plan except the people who shall perish

100) Is it not clear to those who inherit the earth after its (former) residents that if we please we would afflict them on account of their faults and set a seal on their hearts so they would not hear

 

PICKTHAL:

97) Are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of our wrath upon them as a night-raid while they sleep?

98) Or are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of our wrath upon them in the daytime while they play?

99) Are they then secure from Allah’s scheme? none deemeth himself secure from Allah’s scheme save folk that perish.

100) Is it not an indication to those who inherit the land after its people (who thus reaped the consequence of evil-doing) that, if we will, we can smite them for their sins and print upon their hearts so that they hear not?

 

YUSUFALI:

97) Did the people of the towns feel secure against the coming of our wrath by night while they were asleep?

98) Or else did they feel secure against its coming in broad daylight while they played about (care-free)?

99) Did they then feel secure against the plan of Allah?- but no one can feel secure from the plan of Allah, except those (doomed) to ruin!

100) To those who inherit the earth in succession to its (previous) possessors, is it not a guiding, (lesson) that, if we so willed, we could punish them (too) for their sins, and seal up their hearts so that they could not hear?

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.

Verses 7:42-43in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

42) As for those who believe and do good works we never charge a soul with more than it can bear they are the companions of paradise, and there they shall live for ever.

43) We shall strip away all rancor from their chests. rivers shall flow underneath them, and they shall say: ‘praise be to Allah who has guided us to this. had Allah not given us guidance we should not have been guided. the messengers of our lord surely came with the truth. ‘ then they are called: ‘this is the paradise which you have inherited for what you did. ‘

 

SHAKIR:

42) And (as for) those who believe and do good we do not impose on any soul a duty except to the extent of its ability– they are the dwellers of the garden; in it they shall abide

43) And we will remove whatever of ill-feeling is in their breasts; the rivers shall flow beneath them and they shall say: all praise is due to Allah who guided us to this, and we would not have found the way had it not been that Allah had guided us; certainly the messengers of our lord brought the truth; and it shall be cried out to them that this is the garden of which you are made heirs for what you did

 

PICKTHAL:

42) But (as for) those who believe and do good works – we tax not any soul beyond its scope – such are rightful owners of the garden. they abide therein.

43) And we remove whatever rancour may be in their hearts. rivers flow beneath them. and they say: the praise to Allah, who hath guided us to this. we could not truly have been led aright if Allah had not guided us. verily the messengers of our lord did bring the truth. and it is cried unto them: this is the garden. ye inherit it for what ye used to do.

 

YUSUFALI:

42) But those who believe and work righteousness,- no burden do we place on any soul, but that which it can bear,- they will be companions of the garden, therein to dwell (forever).

43) And we shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury;- beneath them will be rivers flowing;- and they shall say: “praise be to Allah, who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah: indeed it was the truth, that the messengers of our lord brought unto us.” and they shall hear the cry: “behold! the garden before you! ye have been made its inheritors, for your deeds (of righteousness).”

Allah is Asks (15) who is greater in evil than those who invent a lie against Allah–B

The Disbelievers have no allies to protect them against Allah’ chastisement; there are losers

The torment will be double for the leaders for their having led others astray

The Believers will inherit the Disbelievers Possessions in the Hereafter!

————————————————————-

In the previous article, Allah is asking mankind this question: has Muhammad invented the Quran?   Then Allah challenged those who said that to bring 200 Arabic words the like thereof of the Quran.

In this article, Allah is asking mankind this question: who is greater in evil than those who invent a lie against Allah? And He describes how and why they are the great losers.

————————————————————-

In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.

It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.

Allah’ questions are many.  In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.

The question in this article is:

Who is greater in evil and who does greater wrong than he who invented a lie concerning Allah?

What is a lie against Allah?

To ascribe to Him partner, equivalent and/or a son,

To claim that you are a prophet while you are not,

To claim that you have got Revealed Scripture while you do not,

To claim that Muhammad is not a Prophet although He is, and

To claim that the Quran is not the book Revealed by Allah

————————————————————-

What is waiting for those who invent a lie against Allah?

Severe chastisement of Allah is upon them on the Day of Resurrection and they will dwell in the Eternal Fire.  Herein, Allah describes how and why they are the great losers.

————————————————————-

Verses 11:20-22 describe how and why they are the great losers those who invent a lie against Allah

The meanings of the verse 11:20:

They will not escape Allah’s chastisement,

Nor have they any protecting friends to protect them from Allah.

They have no allies, no helpers to protect them against His chastisement.

For their leaders (who betrayed them), the torment will be double.

In other words, chastisement will be double, for their having led others astray.

They could not hear, the truth, nor did they use to see, it; that is to say, because of their extreme aversion to it, 

They could not bear to hear the words of Muhammad out of hatred for him;

It is also said that this means: theirs is a double torment because they could not hear the words of Muhammad,

And they used not to see, they did not look at Muhammad out of hatred;

It is also said that this means: they used not to see Muhammad out of their hatred for him.

The meanings of the verse 11:21:

Such are they who have lost their souls, for their journey’s end shall be to the Eternal Fire, made everlasting for them; and that which they used to invent, [of lies] concerning Allah, in the way of their claim(s)

Why they have lost their souls?

Because they have lost their dwelling place in the paradise!

How they have lost their dwelling place in the paradise?

Allah made for every soul a dwelling place in the paradise and another dwelling place in the Eternal Fire.

The disbelievers will dwell in their places in the Eternal Fire

The believers will dwell in their places in the paradise

What about the dwelling places in the paradise that made for the disbelievers?

The believers will inherit their dwelling places

What about the dwelling places in the Eternal Fire that made for the believers?

The disbelievers will inherit their dwelling places

Fair is fair!

The meanings of the verse 11:22:

Without doubt, verily, they will be the greatest losers in the Hereafter.

They have lost their dwelling places in the Paradise and that which is in it.

22) Without a doubt, these are the very ones who will lose most in the hereafter!

This is Allah (1) they asked 1400 years ago: who is Allah?

The unbelievers of Mecca asked the Prophet Muhammad: Who is Allah?

1)    Is Allah made of gold copper or silver?

2)    To which species does Allah belong?

3)    Does Allah Eat and Drink?

4)    What is the lineage of Allah?

 

The linguistic meanings of the Arabic word Al-Samad

The Quran says that Allah is Al-Samad. The Arabic word Al-Samad has many meanings.

——————

 

Today, many people do not know who Allah is. 

The same happened more that 1400 years ago when a group of unbelievers of Mecca asked: who is Allah? Is he made of gold, copper or silver?  Who inherited him? 

Allah revealed that He is the one; He has no son or partner.  He neither begot, nor was begotten. He does not have an opposite, an equal or any co-equal who would compete with Him about dominion and sovereignty.

——————

 

A group of unbelievers of Mecca went to the Prophet Muhammad and said to him:

‘Describe to us your Lord. Tell us: what is He made of? And to which species does He belong? Is He made of gold, copper or silver? Does He eat and drink? Who did He inherit this world from? And to whom will He bequeath it? And what is the lineage of your Lord?”

 

And so Allah, gloried and exalted is He, revealed this very short Surah (a chapter of the Quran); that is composed of four short verses.

The Surah (112) says:

Say: He is Allah, the One!

Allah is the eternally besought of all. He begetteth not nor was he begotten.

And there is none comparable unto Him,

He does not have anyone who resembles Him or is like Him

——————

 

Verse 112:1 says

Say to them, O Muhammad: He is Allah, the One, He has no son or partner.

 

Verse 112:2

Allah, is Al-Samad, in Arabic

Al-Samad is one of Allah names

The Arabic word Al-Samad has many meanings.

Al-Samad means the Self-Sufficient,

the eternally Besought of all!

It also means

the Master whose glory is at its peak and for Whom all created beings are in need;

He Who does not eat or drink;

He Who does not have an interior;

He is the Everlasting;

He is the Self-Sufficient,

the One Who is always sought at times of need,

The eternally Besought of all is Him,

 

Verse 112:3

He neither begot, for no likeness of Him can exist, nor was begotten, since createdness is precluded in His case.

And Al-Samad means:

He begetteth not nor was begotten

This means that He did not inherit His dominion; for anyone who is begotten will certainly die and whoever dies will be inherited. Allah does not die nor is He inherited.

 

Verse 112:4

And there is none comparable unto Him

He does not have an opposite, peer, or equal or anyone who may resemble or begin to resemble Him;

And it is also said this means: He does not have any co-equal who would compete with Him about dominion and sovereignty’.

Nor is there anyone equal to Him’, neither match nor comparison.

This is Allah, your Creator!
