4) The marvel camel that has no father and no mother,

5) The most amazing Camel in the History, and

The meaning of verse 7:73

And, Allah sent, to Thamood tribe their brother Salih. He said, ‘O my people, worship Allah, profess Allah’s divine Oneness! You have no god other than Him. Truly there has come to you a clear proof, an illustration, from your Lord, of my truthfulness, this is the she-camel which Allah brought miraculously as a sign for you, they had asked him to make it come out of a specific rock which they had designated. So leave her to feed throughout Allah’s earth, eat its grass unhindered, and do not touch her with harm, either by hamstringing or beating her, lest you be seized by a painful chastisement.

N.B.:

The leaders of Thamood said unto their Prophet Salih:

If you are truthful in your claim that you are a messenger from Allah, then tell your Lord to bring us a she-camel out of this (specific huge) rock!

Salih said: then you will believe?

They said: oh, yes, sure we will

Salih said: and you will let the she-camel eat and drink without bothering her?

They said: oh, yes, sure we will

Salih said: Look, if you hurt the she-camel you be seized by a severe chastisement

They said: agreed, deal !

Salih prayed to Allah to bring the she-camel out of the specific huge rock that they determined.

Allah did. Miraculously, this she-camel had no father, no mother; it just came out of the rock when Allah has said: Be.

But most of Thamood‘s people especially their leaders did not believe in Allah and did not follow the teaching of their Prophet Salih.

 

The meaning of verse 7:74

And remember how Allah made you vicegerents, on earth, after the destruction of the people of Aad, and gave you habitations in the land, making castles in its plains, in which you lodge during summer, and hewing its mountains into houses, in which you lodge during winter. So remember Allah’s bounties and believe in Him and do not practice evil, making mischief and do not be degenerate, do not commit transgressions on the earth or seeking corruption and do not call to other than Allah.

It should be emphasized that Thamood people are the vicegerents of Aad; and Aad’s people are the vicegerents of Noah descendants. Nevertheless, the history ignored studying both Aad and Thamood

 

The meaning of verse 7:75

the leaders of the arrogant party among his people said to those who were oppressed, to such of them as believed, that is, from among Thamood’s people who were overpowered, despised and weak:

So you know that Salih is sent from his Lord to you?

They, chieftains of Thamood’s people who were scornful, waxed proud, who disdained belief in Salih said that mocking.

The poor people replied: Yes! Truly we believe in the Message with which Salih has been sent

74) And remember when he made you successors after ad and settled you in the land– you make mansions on its plains and hew out houses in the mountains– remember therefore Allah’s benefits and do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief

75) The chief of those who behaved proudly among his people said to those who were considered weak, to those who believed from among them: do you know that salih is sent by his lord? they said: surely we are believers in what he has been sent with

74) And remember how he made you viceroys after a’ad and gave you station in the earth. ye choose castles in the plains and hew the mountains into dwellings. so remember (all) the bounties of Allah and do not evil, making mischief in the earth.

75) The leaders of the arrogant party among his people said to those who were reckoned powerless – those among them who believed: “know ye indeed that salih is a messenger from his lord?” they said: “we do indeed believe in the revelation which hath been sent through him.”

This is Allah (20) who is the loser, Allah or the unbelievers?

It is Allah who made mankind one succeeding the other in the earth

Whoever disbelieves in Allah, his disbelief will be to his own detriment

Has anyone besides Allah created anything in the Earth?

Does any of your gods share Allah in His Kingdom?

————————————————————————

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

The verses 35:39-40 of the Noble Quran give two facts; they are:

1) It is Allah Who made mankind one succeeding the other in the earth and

2) Whoever disbelieves in Allah, his disbelief will be to his own detriment;

And also the verses give three questions; they are:

1) Who is losing, the Disbelievers or Allah?

2) Did anyone besides Allah create anything on the Earth? And

3) Does any of your gods share Allah in His Kingdom? 

————————————————————————

The meaning of verse 35:39:

It is Allah Who made you successors in the earth in other words, one succeeding the other.

So whoever disbelieves, of you, his disbelief will be to his own detriment, that is, the evil consequences of his disbelief will be their responsibility.

And their disbelief does not increase the disbelievers with their Lord [in anything] except disfavor, wrath.

And their disbelief does not increase the disbelievers [in anything] except loss, of the reward of the Hereafter.

In other words, the verse says that it is He, Allah, Who has made you O mankind (regents in the earth) dwellers in the earth after the destruction of past nations; so he who disbelieves in Allah, his disbelief will be on his own head, on his own responsibility, the punishment of his disbelief is against his own soul.

Their disbelief increases for the disbelievers in Muhammad and in the Quran, in their Lord’s sight in the Hereafter, naught save abhorrence nothing but detestation.

Their disbelief in the life of this world increases for the disbelievers naught save loss in the Hereafter.

The meaning of verse 35:40:

Say O Muhammad, to the disbelievers, to the idolaters: Have ye seen your partner-gods, your deities to whom you pray;  whom you worship beside Allah? Show me what they created of the earth! Or have they any portion) with Allah (in the heavens) in the creation of the heavens? (Or have We given them) i.e. the disbelievers of Mecca (a Scripture so that they act on clear proof there from) that they will not be punished? (Nay, the evil-doers promise) what the idolaters say in the life of this world to (one another) i.e. the leaders to those who followed them (only to deceive) only vanity in the Hereafter.

In other words, the verse asks: ‘Have you considered your associates on whom you call, [those whom] you worship, besides Allah?, and they are the idols whom you asserted to be partners of Allah, exalted be He. Show me, apprise me of, what [part] of the earth they have created. Or do they have some partnership, some share alongside Allah, in, the creation of, the heavens?’ Or have We given them a scripture, so that they are [acting] upon a clear proof, a definitive argument, there from?, to the effect that they have some partnership with Me? Nothing of the sort! Nay, but the evildoers, the disbelievers, promise one another nothing but delusion, falsehood, when they say that the idols will intercede for them.

Verses 35:36-38 in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

39) It is he who made you caliphs in the earth. he who disbelieves, his disbelief shall be charged against him. the unbelievers disbelief does nothing for them, except, increase them in hate with Allah their disbelief increases the unbelievers only in loss.

40) Say: ‘have you considered your associates who you call upon, other than Allah? show me what they have created in the earth! or, have they a partnership in the heavens? ‘ or, have we given them a book so that they have proof of it? no, the harm doers promise each other nothing else but delusion.

SHAKIR:

39) He it is who made you rulers in the land; therefore whoever disbelieves, his unbelief is against himself; and their unbelief does not increase the disbelievers with their lord in anything except hatred; and their unbelief does not increase the disbelievers m anything except loss

40) Say: have you considered your associates which you call upon besides Allah? show me what part of the earth they have created, or have they any share in the heavens; or, have we given them a book so that they follow a clear argument thereof? nay, the unjust do not hold out promises one to another but only to deceive

PICKTHAL:

39) He it is who hath made you regents in the earth; so he who disbelieveth, his disbelief be on his own head. their disbelief increaseth for the disbelievers, in their lord’s sight, naught save abhorrence. their disbelief increaseth for the disbelievers naught save loss.

40) Say: have ye seen your partner-gods to whom ye pray beside Allah? show me what they created of the earth! or have they any portion in the heavens? or have we given them a scripture so they act on clear proof therefrom? Nay, the evil-doers promise one another only to deceive.

YUSUFALI:

39) He it is that has made you inheritors in the earth: if, then, any do reject (Allah), their rejection (works) against themselves: their rejection but adds to the odium for the unbelievers in the sight of their lord: their rejection but adds to (their own) undoing.

40) Say: “have ye seen (these) ‘partners’ of yours whom ye call upon besides Allah? show me what it is they have created in the (wide) earth. or have they a share in the heavens? or have we given them a book from which they (can derive) clear (evidence)?- nay, the wrong-doers promise each other nothing but delusions.
