Atheists in Quran (49) they came to eradicate Islam

The Atheists announced that they came from Makkah to Al-Madinah to kill the Prophet Muhammad and eradicate Islam and Muslims from the face of the Earth.

See what happened to them and what the Angels have done to them!

———————————————–

Background of the verses 8:50-51

Date: more than 1400 years ago

Place: nearby Al-Madinah in the Arabia

Event: the first battle between the Atheists among the Arabs and the believers

The name of the battle: the Day of “Badr”

Situation: The Atheists were about 1000 well-armed men

                The believers were 300 weakly armed men

Media: the Atheists announced that they came from Makkah to Al-Madinah to kill the Prophet Muhammad and eradicate Islam and Muslims from the face of the Earth

Result: Muslims won and the Atheists severely lost the battle. About 100 Atheists killed, another 100 captivated and the rest flee from the shock of such result.

Was this the only fate of the Atheists?

No

The meanings of the verses 8:50-51

If you could see O Muhammad and believers how the angels, on the Day of Badr, take away the Atheists’ souls, smiting their faces and their backs and saying unto them:

Taste the severe punishment of burning.

This chastisement is for what your hands have done while you were unbelieving know that Allah is just to His servants, such that he would not punish them for no sin.

Know that Allah is not a tyrant to His servants such that He would take them to task without them having committed a crime.

Allah’s Justice is for all

We see the angels acting on Allah’s instructions and by His permission, reproaching the unbelievers and meting out punishment to them. They gather their souls in a very harsh manner and dole out to them the sort of treatment that befits their arrogance and conceit. Even in the most difficult of times, they remind them of their evil deeds and tell them of their inevitable destiny. There is no injustice in what they are about to suffer. It is only what they deserve.

The verse makes it clear that punishing the unbelievers for their misdeeds is a constant law that Allah has set into operation:

The two verses, however, may also be taken as a reference to a continuing situation that applies whenever the angels gather the souls of unbelievers.

In this case the opening phrase, “if you could but see”, may be understood as an address to anyone with eyes to see. This type of address is used frequently to direct attention to certain matters that need to be contemplated.

The verses portray a fearful picture of the unbelievers as the angels gather their souls, adding humiliation to their misery and combining physical suffering with death:

“If you could but see how the angels gather up the souls of the unbelievers. They strike them on their faces and their backs.”

The mode of expression then changes from that of reporting to an address:

“Taste the punishment of burning.”

This serves to bring the sight blooming as though it is happening now in front of our eyes. We almost see the fire of hell and how it burns them fiercely.

The unbelievers are severely reproached as they are pushed into it:

“[this is] in return for what your own hands have committed.”

It is all a fitting recompense. You deserve it all on account of what you have done:

“Never does Allah do any injustice to His servants.”

The infliction of suffering and humiliation on the unbelievers is a permanent law that does not change.

The verses 8:50-51 in different translations:

QARIB:

50-If you could see the angels when they carry off the souls of the unbelievers, beating their faces and their backs, saying: ‘taste the punishment of burning!

51-That is for what your hands have forwarded, Allah is not unjust to his worshipers. ‘

SHAKIR:

50-And had you seen when the angels will cause to die those who disbelieve, smiting their faces and their backs, and (saying): taste the punishment of burning

51-This is for what your own hands have sent on before, and because Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants;

PICKTHAL:

50-If thou couldst see how the angels receive those who disbelieve, smiting faces and their backs and (saying): taste the punishment of burning!

Atheists in Quran (37) password to log in Paradise

This article discusses the following issues: 1) the friendly Atheists today = the enemies tomorrow, 2) the Atheists gave nasty names to the Prophet Muhammad, 3) The ever-best word that all the messengers and prophets from Noah to Jesus have said and 4) What is man’s password to log in Paradise.

———————————

In Surah 37, the verses 27-32 describe a dramatic scene that will happen to the friends among the Atheists today.

In conclusion, the verses say that:

The friendly Atheists today = the enemies tomorrow

The verses say that the Atheists today are notable prideful leaders and their careless followers. Both groups are very friendly in the life of this world.

Nevertheless, how they are on the Day of Judgment when they behold the truth that they used to deny in this life?

Would be still friends?

No

The careless foolish followers among the Atheists will blame the notable prideful leaders as being the cause of their astray and loss!

Then, what the notable prideful leaders say to them?

They will say:

Both you and we are in the same position, deserving of Allah’s punishment for not heeding the warnings. You joined us because of your propensity to follow error. We did nothing to you; instead, you followed us in our error.

Then, what Allah promised both of them?

The verses 37:33-39 say:

They on that day, the Day of Resurrection, the Day of Judgment, will share in the chastisement, for they shared in the error. Both are sharers in the doom.

Lo! Thus, Allah deal with the sinners

We chastise both of them the followers and those who were followed (the leaders).

For when it was said unto them in the life of the world, say: “There is no God save Allah”, they were:

Scornful

Too proud to say it

Not only that, but they would say, ‘Are we to abandon our gods for a mad poet?

Herein they, sarcastically give names to the Prophet Muhammad as a mad poet

Shall we leave the worship of our gods (idols, pride, ego etc.) for a mad poet who invents lies?

Herein they, mockingly give another names to the Prophet Muhammad as an inventor of lies and claiming that the Quran is but lies!

Allah, exalted be He, says:

Nay, but he (Muhammad) has brought them the truth and confirmed the earlier messengers, namely, those who had also brought this truth, which is that “There is no God save Allah”

Nay, but he (Muhammad) brought the Quran and the profession of Allah’s divine Oneness, and he confirmed those sent before him and he brought a confirmation of the messengers who were sent before him.

Then what?

Allah will tell both of them on the Day of Judgment:

You shall certainly taste the painful chastisement,

Lo! Now, verily you taste the painful doom in the Eternal Fire.

Herein, in the Hereafter, Allah requites you the requital for,

What you used to believe in.

What you used to do

What you used to say

Our belief, works and sayings in this life determine our outcome in the Afterlife.

———————————

Back to the principle word of the Religion

“There is no God save Allah”

It is required that every human being has to believe and say this word.

This is the ever-best word that you can utter in this life

This word = man’s password to log in Allah’s gate

The Prophet Muhammad said:

The ever-best word I said, and the ever-best word all the messengers and prophets before me have said is “There is no God save Allah”

The entire Messengers and Prophets from Adam, Noah up to Moses and Jesus said, “There is no God save Allah” and so did the last Prophet Muhammad.

In Hadith (Muhammad’ sayings):

If you put the entire universe in a pan of a balance, and you put in the other pan “There is no God save Allah”, then:

What would be the weightier?

The pan contains “There is no God save Allah” is the weightier

Be sure that without saying this word “There is no God save Allah”, man will never ever see Paradise and he is but loser!

This is a sincere gift to the smart readers.

The verses 37:33-39 in different translations:

QARIB:

33-Therefore, on that day they will all share our punishment.

34-As such we shall deal with the evildoers.

35-For when it was said to them: ‘there is no god except Allah, ‘ they were always proud

36-And said: ‘are we to renounce our gods for the sake of a mad poet? ‘

37-No, indeed, he has brought the truth, and confirmed the messengers.

38-You shall certainly taste the painful punishment:

39-But you shall not be recompensed except for what you were doing.

SHAKIR:

33-So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another

34-Surely thus do we deal with the guilty

35-Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: there is no god but Allah;

36-And to say: what! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?

37-Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the messengers

38-Most surely you will taste the painful punishment

39-And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did

PICKTHAL:

33-Then lo! This day they (both) are sharers in the doom.

34-Lo! Thus deal we with the guilty.

35-For when it was said unto them, there is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful

36-And said: shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?

37-Nay, but he brought the truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).

38-Lo! (Now) verily ye taste the painful doom –

39-Ye are requited naught save what ye did –

YUSUFALI:

33-Truly, that day, they will (all) share in the penalty.

34-Verily that is how we shall deal with sinners.

35-For they, when they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with pride,

36-And say: “what! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a poet possessed?”

37-Nay! he has come with the (very) truth, and he confirms (the message of) the messengers (before him).

38-Ye shall indeed taste of the grievous penalty;-

39-But it will be no more than the retribution of (the evil) that ye have wrought;-

Atheists in Quran (11) have they read the History

The Quran asks the Atheists three questions, 1) Have not the stories of those who rejected Faith aforetime reached you? 2) Do not you realize that Allah is free of all needs? 3) You think that you will not be raised up for Judgment?

The Quran gives the answers to those who like to know.

———————————

The verses 64:5-7 ask the Atheists three questions

The first Question:

Have not the stories of those who rejected Faith aforetime reached you?

Have not the stories of

• Noah and the flood that swept all the Atheists
• Aad and Thamood
• Abraham and Nimrod
• Moses and Pharaoh
• Etc.

Have not these stories reached you?

Have not you read the History?

Do you know what happened to the ancient Atheists?

They tasted the evil result of their conduct in the life of this world and they had a grievous Penalty.

That was because there came to them messengers with Clear Sign; However, they said:

“Shall (mere) human beings direct us?”

So, they rejected (the Message) and turned away.

They tasted the punishment for disbelief in the life of this world.

Moreover, the evil result of their conduct in the Afterlife is awaiting for them; its culminating force will be exhibited in the grievous Penalty of the Hereafter.

The second Question:

Do not the Atheists realize that Allah, the worthy of all praise, is free of all needs?

If all human beings are believers, this will not increase Allah’s kingdom by one inch.

If all human beings are unbelievers, this will not decrease Allah’s kingdom by one inch.

O Atheists, Your obedience is not necessary to Allah, nor will your rejection of Truth affect the validity of Truth or injure the progress of Truth.

Allah is free of all needs or dependence on any circumstance whatever.

He sends His Message for the good of mankind, and it is man who suffers by ignoring, rejecting, or opposing it.

The third Question:

O Atheists, You think that you will not be raised up for Judgment.

In other words, you think that there is no future

life, and no responsibility for your actions beyond what you see in the present life.

If that were true, all the profits of fraud and roguery, which remain unpunished in this

world-and many do remain unpunished in this world-will remain with the wicked; and all the losses and pain suffered by integrity and righteousness, if they find no compensation in this life, will never find any compensation.

This would be an odd result in a world of justice. Muslims are taught:

• That this is not true,
• That it is certain that the balance will be redressed in a better future world;
• That there will be a resurrection of the dead; and

O Atheists, You think that you will not be raised up for Judgment.

Verily, by my Lord, you shall surely be raised up: then shall ye be told (the truth) of all that you did. And that is easy for Allah.”

———————————

Allah, the Almighty Creator, created all men,

Some are good and others are evil,

You wonder how the good do suffer and the evil succeed,

Remember the Final Goal, when true corrections will be made

The gainers here will be the Losers there,

The Losers here will be the Gainers there.

Good will get more than its full reward

For Allah is Bounteous, Merciful, Mighty, Wise.

The verses 64:5-7 in different translations:

QARIB:

5-Have you not heard the news of those before you who disbelieved? they tasted the mischief of their action, and for them is a painful punishment.

6-That is because, when their messengers came to them with clear proofs they said: ‘shall humans be our guides? ‘ they disbelieved and turned away, but Allah was not in need (of them). Allah is the rich and the praised.

7-The unbelievers think that they will never be raised up. say: ‘by my Lord, yes indeed, you shall assuredly be raised up! then you shall be told of all that you have done. that is easy for Allah. ‘

SHAKIR:

5-Has there not come to you the story of those who disbelieved before, then tasted the evil result of their conduct, and they had a painful punishment?

6-That is because there came to them their messengers with clear arguments, but they said: shall mortals guide us? so they disbelieved and turned back, and Allah does not stand in need (of anything), and Allah is self-sufficient, praised

7-Those who disbelieve think that they shall never be raised. say: aye! by my Lord! you shall most certainly be raised, then you shall most certainly be informed of what you did; and that is easy to Allah

PICKTHAL:

5-Hath not the story reached you of those who disbelieved of old and so did taste the ill-effects of their conduct, and theirs will be a painful doom.

6-That was because their messengers (from Allah) kept coming unto them with clear proofs (of Allah’s sovereignty), but they said: shall mere mortals guide us? so they disbelieved and turned away, and Allah was independent (of them). Allah is absolute, owner of praise.

7-Those who disbelieve assert that they will not be raised again. say (unto them, o muhammad): yea, verily, by my Lord! ye will be raised again and then ye will be informed of what ye did; and that is easy for Allah.

YUSUFALI:

5-Has not the story reached you, of those who rejected faith aforetime? so they tasted the evil result of their conduct; and they had a grievous penalty.

6-That was because there came to them messengers with clear signs, but they said: “shall (mere) human beings direct us?” so they rejected (the message) and turned away. but Allah can do without (them): and Allah is free of all needs, worthy of all praise.

7-The unbelievers think that they will not be raised up (for judgment). say: “yea, by my Lord, ye shall surely be raised up: then shall ye be told (the truth) of all that ye did. and that is easy for Allah.”

Angels in Islam (24) every man will see them-C

Either you believe in Allah or you do not, you will undoubtedly see the Angels face to face at the moment of your death. But the important question is how the Angels deal with the believers and the unbelievers and what the Angels will say to each party.

———————————————

The meanings of the verse 8:50-51

And if you could see, O Muhammad, how the Angels deal with the unbelievers at the moment of their death, you would truly have seen a terrible sight’

And if you could see, O Muhammad, when the Angels take away the disbelievers’ souls, beating and smiting their faces and their backs, with hooked iron rods, and,

They say to them: ‘Taste the chastisement of burning, Taste the severe punishment of the Eternal Fire.

That, chastisement, is for what you have done in the life of this world; you have disobeyed Allah’s Law.

And, be aware that Allah is neither unjust nor oppressor to His servants, such that he would never punish them unless they are sinful.

On the other hand, compare the above with how the Angels deal with the believers at the moment of their death (41:30-32)

The meanings of the verse 41:30-32

Truly those who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah!’ and then remain upright, adhering to the affirmation of Allah’s divine Oneness and to whatever else has been enjoined on them, how the Angels deal with them at the moment of their death?

The Angels descend upon them when their souls are taken away saying to them:

• Do not fear death and what will come after it?
• Do not grieve about what you have left behind (any family or children that you have left behind) for we will look after them after you, and
• Rejoice in the good tidings of the paradise which you were promised in the life of the world..
• We are your protecting friends in the life of this world, that is, we will look after you in it, and in the Hereafter, in other words, we will be alongside you thereat until you enter Paradise; and therein you will have whatever your souls desire, and therein you will have whatever you request,
• This is a gift of welcome and hospitality from Allah, the Forgiving (He forgives those who repent) and the Merciful (towards those who die repentant).

 

To sum up, every man will see the Angels when he dies.

But how they look like? Are they beautiful or ugly?

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

Verses 7:39-41 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) How does Allah requite the guilty and the evildoers?,

2) What is the outcome of those who deny Muhammad and the Quran?

———————————————————–

In the previous article (36) you have seen that:

Allah will say to the disbelievers on the Day of Resurrection: ‘Enter into the Fire among, the number of, nations of jinn and man who passed away before you’. Every time a nation enters, the Fire, it curses its sister-nation, 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.

———————————————————–

 

The meaning of verse 7:39

And the first of them shall say to the last of them, ‘You have no advantage over us, since you did not disbelieve because of us: you and we are equal in this predicament. God, exalted be He, says to them: So taste the chastisements for what you used to earn’.

In other words, the first (disbelieved) nation shall say to the last of nations: You were no whit better than us such that our torment should be double yours, for you disbelieved as we disbelieved and worshipped others beside Allah as we did. Allah then tells them: so taste the doom for what you used to earn, for what you used to say and do of idolatry in the life of this world.

 

The meaning of verse 7:40

Lo! those who deny Our revelations, Muhammad and the Quran and scorn believing in them, for them the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, to receive their works or when their spirits are carried up to it after death, for instead they are taken down into jail with torment; in contrast to the believer, for whom the gates are opened, and his spirit is carried up into the seventh heaven, as is stated by Muhammad.

Back to the disbelievers, nor will they enter the Garden, Paradise, until the camel passes through the eye of the needle, which is impossible, and so is their entry [into Paradise]; they will not enter Paradise just as a camel cannot pass through the eye of a needle; it is also said that this means: they will not enter Paradise until a rope goes through a needle’s eye. So, with this requital, We requite those who are sinful, through disbelief; thus does Allah requite the guilty.

 

The meaning of verse 7:41

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.

———————————————————–

Verses 7:39-41in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

39) Then, the first will say to the last: ‘you were no better than us. ‘ so taste the punishment for what you have earned.

40) The gates of heaven shall not be opened for those who have belied and grew proud against our verses; nor shall they enter paradise until a camel shall pass through the eye of a needle. as such we shall recompense the sinners.

41) Gehenna (hell) shall be their cradle, and layers of fire shall cover them. as such we recompense the harmdoers.

 

SHAKIR:

39) And the foremost of them will say to the last of them: so you have no preference over us; therefore taste the chastisement for what you earned

40) Surely (as for) those who reject our communications and turn away from them haughtily, the doors of heaven shall not be opened for them, nor shall they enter the garden until the camel pass through the eye of the needle; and thus do we reward the guilty

41) They shall have a bed of hell-fire and from above them coverings (of it); and thus do we reward the unjust

 

PICKTHAL:

39) And the first of them saith unto the last of them: ye were no whit better than us, so taste the doom for what ye used to earn.

40) Lo! they who deny our revelations and scorn them, for them the gates of heaven will nor be opened not will they enter the garden until the camel goeth through the needle’s eye. thus do we requite the guilty.

41) Theirs will be a bed of hell, and over them coverings (of hell). thus do we requite wrong-doers.

 

YUSUFALI:

39) Then the first will say to the last: “see then! no advantage have ye over us; so taste ye of the penalty for all that ye did !”

40) To those who reject our signs and treat them with arrogance, no opening will there be of the gates of heaven, nor will they enter the garden, until the camel can pass through the eye of the needle: such is our reward for those in sin.

41) For them there is hell, as a couch (below) and folds and folds of covering above: such is our requital of those who do wrong.

Allah does not love (15) the extravagant

The Quran says: Pay the due of your fruit upon the harvest day,

——————————————————-

We have seen that Allah does not love the disbelievers, the arrogant, those who reject faith, the proud and the boastful, any swaggering braggart strutting in his steps, the harm doers, any vainglorious prideful boasters, those that do wrong, the unjust, the impious and guilty, the unfaithful and ungrateful, the transgressors, those who exceed the limits and the farthest who trespass beyond bounds.   In this article, that Allah does not love the extravagant.

The meanings of verse 6:141 of the Noble Quran:

Verse 6:141says:

And He (Allah), it is Who produces, creates gardens, orchards,

Trellised, extending along the ground, as in the case of watermelons, vines and other vegetations that spread out: i.e. not resting on trunks

And untrellised that which rests on trunks, rising upwards on a stem, such as palm-trees, walnuts and almonds,

And, He produces, palm-trees, the date palm, and crops of divers flavor sweetness sourness and flavor

And the olive and He created the olive tree.

Some are diverse in the shape and savor of its fruit and seed, and olives, and pomegranates, alike, in terms of their ‘alike’, is a circumstantial qualifier and unlike, in terms of their savor. 

And the pomegranate, of pomegranate trees,

They are alike in color and appearance and unlike in taste.

Eat you of the fruit thereof when it ripens, before its maturity [passes], and pay the due thereof, the alms as appropriate, on the day of its harvest

Eat of the fruit of the palm tree when it fruits, when it ripens,

And pay the due thereof upon the harvest day,

That is, one tenth or half of it, and do not be prodigal, by giving it all away, so that nothing remains for [the consumption of] your dependants.

And do not be prodigal

Truly, God does not love the prodigal, who overstep [the bounds of] that which He has delimited for them.

Do not spend in disobedience of Allah nor prevent the obedience of Allah;

Lo! Allah does not love the prodigals, those who spend in disobedience of Allah;

Verse 6:141 in different translations

QARIB:

He brings forth gardens, trellised and untrellised, palmtrees and crops, different to eat, and the olive and pomegranates alike and unlike. when it bears fruit eat of it and pay what is due (the zakat) of it upon the harvest day. but do not be wasteful; he does not love the wasteful.

SHAKIR:

and he it is who produces gardens (of vine), trellised and untrellised, and palms and seed-produce of which the fruits are of various sorts, and olives and pomegranates, like and unlike; eat of its fruit when it bears fruit, and pay the due of it on the day of its reaping, and do not act extravagantly; surely he does not love the extravagant

PICKTHAL:

He it is who produceth gardens trellised and untrellised, and the date-palm, and crops of divers flavour, and the olive and the pomegranate, like and unlike. eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth, and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day, and be not prodigal. lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals.

YUSUFALI:

it is he who produceth gardens, with trellises and without, and dates, and tilth with produce of all kinds, and olives and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in variety): eat of their fruit in their season, but render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered. but waste not by excess: for Allah loveth not the wasters.

This series is an attempt to help them in order to know and acknowledge their Creator.

Verses 7:10-13 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) Allah has given you power in the earth and you give little thanks,

2)Allah told the Angels to Prostrate before Adam for greeting,

3)Iblis (Satan) was the First Historically disobeyed Allah, and

4) When Satan said that he is better than Adam? And 5)

The Pride of Satan was the first Sin in the History

 

In the previous article (29) Allah said to Satan: Go forth from hence, degraded, rebuked, banished far from good; As for such of them, from the jinn and humans as follow you and obey you, surely I will fill hell with all of you of the disbelievers among the jinn and humans; then Allah told Adam that Satan is his enemy and …

The meaning of verse 7:19

And, Allah said, ‘O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, Eve, in the Garden, and eat from whence in Paradise you will, but do not come near this tree, to eat of it; lest you become evildoers and wrong-doers’.  In other words, do not eat from this tree lest you become of those who harm themselves.

The meaning of verse 7:20

Then Satan, Iblis, whispered to them that he might manifest, reveal, to them that which was hidden to them of their shameful parts by the attire of light (of their shame) of their nakedness. And he said, ‘Your Lord prohibited you from this tree only, in aversion, lest you become angels or become immortals’, in other words, that is the necessary consequence of eating from it, as is stated in another verse (20:120): Shall I guide you to the Tree of Immortality and a kingdom that does not waste away?

In other words, Iblis said to them: (Your Lord forbade you) O Adam and Eve (from this tree only lest ye should become angels) who teach good and evil in Paradise (or become of the immortals) in Paradise: this is why He forbade you to eat from the tree.

This indicates that Satan knows the man’s weak point and man loves to have kingdom and to be immortal

The meaning of verse 7:21

And he swore to both of them, that is, he swore to both of them by Allah, ‘Truly, I am a sincere adviser to you’, in this matter; in my oath that this is the tree of immortality.

The meaning of verse 7:22

Thus he did lead them on, to eat from the tree with guile, with falsehood and lies until they ate from it. Thus Satan did debase them in their status, by delusion, on his part.

And when they tasted of the tree their shame, their nakedness was manifest to them and they began out of shame to hide by heaping on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden.  In other words, their shameful parts were manifested to them, that is, the front private part of each was revealed to the other, as well as their behinds — each of these parts is called, ‘shameful’, because its exposure ‘shames’ that person, and they began to piece together, they began to stick, onto themselves some of the leaves of the Garden, to cover themselves up therewith.

And their Lord called them: O Adam and Eve, saying: Did I not forbid you from that tree, from eating of that tree and tell you: Lo! Satan, Iblis, is an open enemy to you whose enmity is quite manifest?

In other words, Allah called them: ‘Did I not prohibit you from this tree, and say to you, “Verily Satan is a manifest enemy to you”?’, one whose enmity is evident? Herein, the interrogative is meant as an affirmative.

Verses 7:19-22in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

19) ‘o Adam dwell with your wife in paradise, and eat from whatever you please; but never approach this tree or you shall both become harmdoers. ‘

20) But Satan whispered to them, so that he might reveal to them their shameful parts which had been hidden from them, he said: ‘your lord has prohibited you from this tree lest you both become angels or become among the immortal. ‘

21) He swore to both: ‘indeed, i am to you among the advisers. ‘

22) So he cheated both by delusion. and when they had tasted the tree, their shameful parts became apparent to them, and they both covered themselves with the leaves of paradise. (then) their lord called to them, saying: ‘did i not prohibit you to approach that tree, and did i not warn you that Satan was your clear enemy? ‘

 

SHAKIR:

19) And (we said): o Adam! dwell you and your wife in the garden; so eat from where you desire, but do not go near this tree, for then you will be of the unjust

20) But the shaitan made an evil suggestion to them that he might make manifest to them what had been hidden from them of their evil inclinations, and he said: your lord has not forbidden you this tree except that you may not both become two angels or that you may (not) become of the immortals

21) And he swore to them both: most surely i am a sincere adviser to you

22) Then he caused them to fall by deceit; so when they tasted of the tree, their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves of the garden; and their lord called out to them: did i not forbid you both from that tree and say to you that the shaitan is your open enemy?

 

PICKTHAL:

19) And (unto man): o Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the garden and eat from whence ye will, but come not nigh this tree lest ye become wrong-doers.

20) Then Satan whispered to them that he might manifest unto them that which was hidden from them of their shame, and he said: your lord forbade you from this tree only lest ye should become angels or become of the immortals.

21) And he swore unto them (saying): lo! i am a sincere adviser unto you.

22) Thus did he lead them on with guile. and when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them and they began to hide (by heaping) on themselves some of the leaves of the garden. and their lord called them, (saying): did i not forbid you from that tree and tell you: lo! Satan is an open enemy to you?

 

YUSUFALI:

19) “o Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the garden, and enjoy (its good things) as ye wish: but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression.”

20) Then began Satan to whisper suggestions to them, bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): he said: “your lord only forbade you this tree, lest ye should become angels or such beings as live for ever.”

21) And he swore to them both, that he was their sincere adviser.

22) So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. and their lord called unto them: “did i not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy unto you?”

Chapter 6 of the Quran (106) Satan’s Tactics

Have you any knowledge that Allah is satisfied with your deeds?  Have you any clarification regarding what you describe as unlawful? Have you any document saying that Allah is satisfied with your faith? You follow naught but satanic tactics to lead you astray.

——————————————————————————————————

Ayah 6:148 says:

The unbelievers will say: ‘Had Allah willed, we would not have ascribed unto Him partners

The unbelievers will say: ‘Had Allah willed, our fathers would not have been unbelievers too.

The unbelievers will say: ‘Had Allah willed, we would not have forbidden anything

In other words, our idolatry and our forbidding of things and/or food (crops and cattle) were by Allah’s will, and so Allah must be satisfied with our faith and deeds.

Allah, exalted is He, says:

So, in the same way that they have lied, those who were before them gave also the same lie to their prophets, until they tasted our might and our chastisement.

Say to them O Muhammad:

‘Have you any knowledge, that Allah is satisfied with your deeds,

‘Have you any clarification regarding what you describe as unlawful ofcrops and cattle, or

Have you any document saying that Allah is satisfied with your faith when you ascribe unto Him partners, son, daughters, etc.

Have you any of these proof(s) such that you can adduce for us?

The truth is that you have no such knowledge and you have no such document.

You follow only satanic supposition

You follow naught but satanic tactics to lead you astray.

—————————————————————-

The verse 6:148 in different translations

QARIB:

The idolaters will say: ‘had Allah willed, neither we nor our fathers would have associated (idols), nor would we have forbidden anything. as such, those who have gone before them belied until they tasted our might. say: ‘have you any knowledge you can bring forth to us? you follow nothing but guessing and you were only speakers of conjecture. ‘

SHAKIR:

Those who were polytheists will say: if Allah had pleased we would not have associated (aught with him) nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden (to ourselves) anything; even so did those before them reject until they tasted our punishment. say: have you any knowledge with you so you should bring it forth to us? you only follow a conjecture and you only tell lies

PICKTHAL:

They who were idolaters will say: had Allah willed, we had not ascribed (unto him) partners neither had our fathers, nor had we forbidden aught. thus did those who were before them give the lie (to Allah’s messengers) till they tasted of the fear of us. say: have ye any knowledge that ye can adduce for us? lo! ye follow naught but an opinion, lo! ye do but guess.

YUSUFALI:

Those who give partners (to Allah) will say: “if Allah had wished, we should not have given partners to him nor would our fathers; nor should we have had any taboos.” so did their ancestors argue falsely, until they tasted of our wrath. say: “have ye any (certain) knowledge? if so, produce it before us. Ye follow nothing but conjecture: ye do nothing but lie.”

Chapter 6 of the Quran (99) Alike but Unlike

It is Allah who produces palm-trees, olives, and pomegranates etc., alike, in terms of their colour, appearance and leaf and unlike, in terms of their taste and savour.  Eat of the fruit thereof when it ripens, and Pay the due thereof, the alms as appropriate, on the day of its harvest, that is, one tenth of it.

——————————————-

In the previous articles, we have seen how Satan deceived the idolators and put them on the path that leads finally to the Eternal Fire in the Afterlife.

Ayah 6:141 shows the straight path of Allah that leads ultimately to the Eternal Paradise in the Afterlife; it says:

And it is Allah Who creates and produces gardens and orchards which are:

Trellised and extending along the ground and spread out: i.e. not resting on trunks such as vines, watermelons and other vegetations, and

Untrellised and rising upwards on a stem that which rests on trunks such as walnuts, almonds and the date-palm.

It is Allah Who produces crops which are diverse in flavour, diverse in sweetness, diverse in sourness diverse in shape, diverse in savour of its fruit and diverse in their seeds.

It is Allah who produces palm-trees, olives, and pomegranates, alike, in terms of their colour, appearance and leaf and unlike, in terms of their taste and savour.

Eat of the fruit thereof when it ripens, before its maturity passes, and

Pay the due thereof, the alms as appropriate, on the day of its harvest, that is, one tenth of it, and

Do not be prodigal, by giving it all away, so that nothing remains for the consumption of your dependants.

Do not spend in disobedience of Allah nor prevent the obedience of Allah.

Truly, Allah does not love the prodigal, who overstep the bounds of that which He has delimited for them.

It is said that this verse was revealed about Thabit Ibn Qays who collected with his own hand the harvest of 500 palm-trees and gave it away, not leaving a thing for his own family.

The verse 6:141 in different translations

QARIB:

he brings forth gardens, trellised and untrellised, palmtrees and crops, different to eat, and the olive and pomegranates alike and unlike. when it bears fruit eat of it and pay what is due (the zakat) of it upon the harvest day. but do not be wasteful; he does not love the wasteful.

SHAKIR:

and he it is who produces gardens (of vine), trellised and untrellised, and palms and seed-produce of which the fruits were of various sorts, and olives and pomegranates, like and unlike; eat of its fruit when it bears fruit, and pay the due of it on the day of its reaping, and do not act extravagantly; surely he does not love the extravagant

PICKTHAL:

he it is who produceth gardens trellised and untrellised, and the date-palm, and crops of divers flavour, and the olive and the pomegranate, like and unlike. eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth, and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day, and be not prodigal. lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals.

YUSUFALI:

it is he who produceth gardens, with trellises and without, and dates, and tilth with produce of all kinds, and olives and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in variety): eat of their fruit in their season, but render the dues that were proper on the day that the harvest is gathered. but waste not by excess: for Allah loveth not the wasters.

Chapter 6 of the Quran (67) the Sign of Different Color and Taste

It is Allah Who sends down water, rain, from the sky, and brings forth by the rain buds of every kind of grains, green blade and the green vegetation. Lo! The difference of their colour and taste are signs for the people who believe that they are from Allah.

——————————————-

Ayah 6:99 says:

 

It is Allah Who sends down water, rain, from the sky, and therewith Allah brings forth by means of the rain buds of every kind of grains and other things.

Allah brings forth from the earth by means of the rain the green blade, the green vegetation. From this green vegetation Allah brings forth the thick clustered grain, clustered in spikes of grain and in other vegetations; and from the date-palm, from the pollen thereof, spring pendant close by, accessible to anyone standing or sitting in bunches; and

Allah bring forth Gardens of grapes, and the trees of olive and the pomegranate trees,  they alike in colour, but unlike in taste.

Look upon the fruit thereof, when they bear fruit, and upon its ripening.

Lo! The difference of their colour and taste are signs for the people who believe that they are from Allah.

The verse 6:99 in different translations

QARIB:

He sends down water from the sky, and with it we bring forth the plant of every thing. From these we bring forth green foliage and composite grain, palmtrees laden with clusters of dates within reach, vineyards and olive groves and pomegranates alike and unlike. Behold their fruits when they bear fruit and ripen. Surely, in these there are signs for a nation who believe.

 

SHAKIR:

and he it is who sends down water from the cloud, then we bring forth with it buds of all (plants), then we bring forth from it green (foliage) from which we produce grain piled up (in the ear); and of the palm-tree, of the sheaths of it, come forth clusters (of dates) within reach, and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, alike and unlike; behold the fruit of it when it yields the fruit and the ripening of it; most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe

 

PICKTHAL:

he it is who sendeth down water from the sky, and therewith we bring forth buds of every kind; we bring forth the green blade from which we bring forth the thick-clustered grain; and from the date-palm, from the pollen thereof, spring pendant bunches; and (we bring forth) gardens of grapes, and the olive and the pomegranate, alike and unlike. Look upon the fruit thereof, when they bear fruit, and upon its ripening. Lo! Herein verily are portents for a people who believe.

 

YUSUFALI:

it is he who sendeth down rain from the skies: with it we produce vegetation of all kinds: from some we produce green (crops), out of which we produce grain, heaped up (at harvest); out of the date-palm and its sheaths (or spathes) (come) clusters of dates hanging low and near: and (then there are) gardens of grapes, and olives, and pomegranates, each similar (in kind) yet different (in variety): when they begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes with the fruit and the ripeness thereof. Behold! In these things there are signs for people who believe.
