Atheists in Quran (44) successive questions for them

Posted on by

The Quran asks the Atheists and unbelievers many successive questions: Were they created out of nothing? Did they come into existence of themselves? Were they created without a Creator? Was it a mere chance that they came into being? Were they the creators? Did they create the heavens and the earth? Are the Treasures of the universe with them?

———————————

The verses 52:35-37 ask the Atheists and unbelievers many successive questions:

  • Were they created out of nothing?
  • Did they come into existence of themselves?
  • Were they created without a Creator?
  • Was it a mere chance that they came into being?
  • Were they created as human beings out of nothing?
  • Are they the creators of themselves?
  • Are the Treasures of the universe with them?

It makes no sense for a created thing to have no creator

There must be a Creator of them, and that is Allah, the One, so why do they not affirm His Oneness and believe in His Messenger and His Book?

Was there not a wonderful seed, from which their material growth can be traced, as the handiwork of a wise and wonderful Creator?

Must they not then seek His Will?

Were they created for nothing, to no purpose?

If they were created for a purpose, must they not try to learn that purpose by understanding Allah’s Revelation?

Or did they create the heavens and the earth?

Nay, they have no firm belief.

Nor can any but Allah, the Creator, have created them, so why do they not worship Him?

They obviously did not create the wonders of the starry heavens and the fruitful globe of the earth.

But they can assign no definite cause to explain it, as they have no firm belief on the subject themselves.

Nay, but they are sure of nothing, they deny Muhammad and the Quran

Nay, but they are not certain, of Allah, for otherwise they would have believed in His Prophet Muhammad.

Or are the Treasures of your Lord with them,

The Treasures of Allah’s Knowledge are infinite.

But the Atheists and unbelievers have no access to them, much less can the Atheists and unbelievers manage the wonders of this world.

Must they not therefore seek grace and revelation from Allah?

Or do they possess the treasuries of Allah? in the way of:

  • prophet hood,
  • the stores of your Lord through rain, provision, vegetation
  • Other matters,

So that they are able to assign what they will exclusively to whom they will?

Or are they the ones in control?

Or have they been given charge (thereof)?

Or are they the mighty ones who hold sway?

———————————

The questions in the verses 52:35-37 wonder at their own existence, a truth staring them in the face which they cannot explain in any way other than what the Quran states:

Allah, the Almighty Creator of all that exists has brought them into existence:

“Were they created out of nothing? Were they the creators?”

(Verse 35)

The thought that they just existed out of nothing is against the logic of nature.

It merits no argument.

On the other hand, neither they nor any other creature can claim that they created themselves.

As neither case can be logically entertained, there only remains the true case stated in the Quran, confirming that they are all creatures of Allah, the only Creator and Originator.

Since no one can claim any share of His attributes of creation and origination, then Lordship and Godhead belong solely to Him.

This is clear and true logic.

The verses then direct their attention to the heavens and the earth: are they the ones who created these?

Needless to say, the heavens and the earth did not create themselves, in the same way as humans do not do so:

“Did they create the heavens and the earth? No. They have no faith.” (Verse 36)

Neither they, nor anyone listening to the logic of nature, claim that the heavens and the earth created themselves or came into existence without being created.

Nor do those people claim that they created them.

Yet they stand in front of people like a question requiring an answer.

The verses then takes the Atheists and unbelievers a step lower than that of the creation of either themselves or the world around them.

The Quran asks them whether they own Allah’s treasures or have control of these to be able to cause benefit and harm:

“Do they possess your Lord’s treasures? Or are they in ultimate control?” (Verse 37)

If they make no such claim, then who owns these treasures and controls all things?

The Quran says that Allah is the One who gives in plenty or in small measure, and who determines all affairs in the universe.

This is the only explanation of what happens in the universe.

The Hour will come on man all of a sudden while he does not perceive

On the Day of Judgment, Friends in sin will be foes and will go to Hell

On the Day of Judgment, Friends in faith will keep their friendship and will go to Heaven

In verse 43:66-71 of the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind this question: are the disbelievers waiting for the Hour that is to say they are in fact awaiting nothing; but the Hour should come upon them all of a sudden while they perceive not?  On the Day of Judgment, friends in sin in this world, will be foes and will go to Hell while friends in faith in this world will keep their sincere friendship and will dwell in the Paradise forever.

When a Community Curses its Sister-Community on the Day of Resurrection

When the Disbelievers say to Allah: ‘Our Lord, Give them a Double Chastisement of the Fire’?

This series is an attempt to help you to know  Allah your Creator.

Verses 7:37-38 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) When the disbelievers will testify against themselves that they were the Losers?

2) What the angels of death will say to the disbelievers when they take away their souls?

3) When a community curses its sister-community on the Day of Resurrection,

4) When the disbelievers say to Allah: Our Lord, give them a double chastisement of the Fire?And

5) What Allah will say to them?

————————————————————–

The meaning of verse 7:37

Who does greater wrong,

who is more insolent and bolder vis-à-vis Allah,

this means that  none does greater evil than he who invents a lie against Allah, by ascribing to Him a partner or a child, or denies Allah’s tokens, Muhammad and the Quran.

For such, their portion, their lot, of the Scripture, of what has been inscribed as theirs in the Preserved Tablet, in the way of provision, term of life and other matters, shall reach them as predetermined and promised in the Book of destiny.

Give them respite, O Muhammad, until when Our messengers, i.e. the angel of death and his helpers, come to gather them, to take away their souls,

The Angels will say to them in reprimand:

‘Where is that which you were calling upon, worshipping, beside Allah so that they can help you?’

They will say:

 ‘They have gone astray from us’, they are not present before us, they have departed from us, they are too occupied with themselves to pay attention to us and so we cannot see them.

And they will bear witness against themselves, upon death, that they were disbelievers;

They testify against themselves that they were disbelievers in Allah and the messengers in the life of this world and hence they will be the losers in the Afterlife.

 

The meaning of verse 7:38

Allah, exalted be He, will say, to them, on the Day of Resurrection: ‘Enter into the Fire among, the number of, nations and communities of jinn and mankind who passed away before you’. Every time a community enters, the Fire, it curses its sister-community, the one that came before it, because of its having gone astray on account of it, until, when they have all followed, caught up with, one another there, the last of them, those who were the followers, shall say to the first of them, those whom they revered and followed: ‘Our Lord, these led us astray; so give them a double chastisement of the Fire.’ He, exalted be He, will say, ‘For each, of you and them, will be a double, chastisement, but you do not know’ what will be for each party.

In other words, when they have all, from the first to the last nation been made to follow one another thither and all gather in the Fire, the last of them, the last of nations will say unto the first of them:

Our Lord! These i.e. the leaders led us astray from Your religion and obedience, so give them double torment of the Fire; torment them with double what you inflict on us. Allah will say to them:

For each one there is double torment, but you do not know because of the severity of the torment.

Verses 7:37-38in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

37) Who is more harmful than he who invents a lie about Allah or belies his verses? such shall have their share of the book, and when our messengers come to take them away, they shall say to them: ‘where now are those whom you invoked, other than Allah? ‘ ‘they have forsaken us, ‘ they will answer, and will bear witness against themselves that they were unbelievers.

38) He will say: ‘enter the fire and join the nations of jinn and humans that have gone before you. ‘ as they enter, every nation will curse its sisternation, and when all are gathered in the pit, the last of them will say of the first: ‘these, lord, are those who led us astray. give them a double punishment of the fire. he will answer: ‘for each double, although you do not know it. ‘

 

SHAKIR:

37) Who is then more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah or rejects his communications? (as for) those, their portion of the book shall reach them, until when our messengers come to them causing them to die, they shall say: where is that which you used to call upon besides Allah? they would say: they are gone away from us; and they shall bear witness against themselves that they were unbelievers

38) He will say: enter into fire among the nations that have passed away before you from among jinn and men; whenever a nation shall enter, it shall curse its sister, until when they have all come up with one another into it; the last of them shall say with regard to the foremost of them: our lord! these led us astray therefore give them a double chastisement of the fire. he will say: every one shall have double but you do not know

 

PICKTHAL:

37) Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah or denieth our tokens. (for such) their appointed portion of the book (of destiny) reacheth them till, when our messengers come to gather them, they say: where (now) is that to which ye cried beside Allah? they say: they have departed from us. and they testify against themselves that they were disbelievers.

38) He saith: enter into the fire among nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before you. every time a nation entereth, it curseth its sister (nation) till, when they have all been made to follow one another thither, the last of them saith unto the first of them: our lord! these led us astray, so give them double torment of the fire. he saith: for each one there is double (torment), but ye know not.

 

YUSUFALI:

37) Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or rejects his signs? for such, their portion appointed must reach them from the book (of decrees): until, when our messengers (of death) arrive and take their souls, they say: “where are the things that ye used to invoke besides Allah?” they will reply, “they have left us in the lurch,” and they will bear witness against themselves, that they had rejected Allah.

38) He will say: “enter ye in the company of the peoples who passed away before you – men and jinns, – into the fire.” every time a new people enters, it curses its sister-people (that went before), until they follow each other, all into the fire. saith the last about the first: “our lord! it is these that misled us: so give them a double penalty in the fire.” he will say: “doubled for all” : but this ye do not understand.
