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;

Allah forbids the tradition of splashing the blood of sacrifices

Allah protects the believers

Neither the flesh or blood of sacrifices reach Allah, but the devotion from you reaches Him

————————————————————-

In the previous articles, we have seen that Allah does not love those:

1) the disbelievers,

2) the arrogant,

3) those who reject faith,

4) the proud and the boastful,

5) any swaggering braggart, strutting in his steps,

6) the harm doers,

7) any vainglorious prideful boasters,

8) those that do wrong,

9) the unjust and

10) the impious and guilty.   

In this article, that Allah does not love the unfaithful and ungrateful.

————————————————————-

The meanings of verses 22:37-38 of the Noble Quran:

Verse 22:37 is talking about the sacrifice of animals

The ignorant disbelievers said that some parts of the animals and their blood are for the Lord, and they did not approach such parts or blood.  Also, in the pre-Islamic time they used to splash the blood of sacrifices on the walls of the Holy House and sully themselves with this blood and so Allah forbade them from doing so; Allah said:

Their flesh and their blood do not reach Allah

In other words, neither their flesh nor their blood shall reach God, that is, neither of these shall be raised up to Him; rather it is your piety that shall reach Him, that is, it is your righteous action, performed purely for Him, together with your faith, that shall be raised up to Him.

It is also said that this means: Allah does not accept their flesh or blood, but the devotion from you reaches Him, but He accepts your pure and sincere faith and works.  Thus have Allah made them subject unto you that you may magnify and glorify Allah that He has guided you to His religion and wont.

And He gives good tidings to the good, to those who are good in their words and deeds; and it is said that the good means: the generous with their sacrifices.

In other words, Allah gives good tidings to the virtuous, namely, those who affirm the Oneness of God

Verse 22:38 says:

Indeed Allah protects those who believe in Muhammad and in the Quran against the disbelievers and against the misguidance of idolaters.

Indeed Allah does not love the treacherous, unfaithful with regard to what is entrusted to him,

And Allah does not love the ungrateful, for His grace; these are the disbelievers, the idolaters and those who put partners or son with the Lord

Allah does not love those means that He will punish them severely in the afterlife.

————————————————————-

Verses 22:37-38 in different translations

QARIB:

37) Their flesh and blood does not reach Allah rather it is piety from you that reaches him. as such he has subjected them to you, in order that you exalt Allah for guiding you. and give glad tidings to the generous.

38) Allah will defend those who believe. Verily, Allah does not love the ungrateful cheat.

SHAKIR:

37) There does not reach Allah their flesh nor their blood, but to him is acceptable the guarding (against evil) on your part; thus has he made them subservient to you, that you may magnify Allah because he has guided you aright; and give good news to those who do good (to others)

38) Surely Allah will defend those who believe; surely Allah does not love any one who is unfaithful, ungrateful

PICKTHAL:

37) Their flesh and their food reach not Allah, but the devotion from you reacheth him. thus have we made them subject unto you that ye may magnify Allah that he hath guided you. and give good tidings (o Muhammad) to the good.

38) Lo! Allah defendeth those who are true. lo! Allah loveth not each treacherous ingrate.

YUSUFALI:

37) It is not their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches him: he has thus made them subject to you, that ye may glorify Allah for his guidance to you and proclaim the good news to all who do right.

38) Verily Allah will defend (from ill) those who believe: verily, Allah loveth not any that is a traitor to faith, or show ingratitude.

The Blessings God bestows upon the Disbelievers are …!

The days of the life of this world are vicissitudes, the Quran and the History said

———————————————————————-

We have seen that Allah does not love those:

1) the disbelievers,

2) the arrogant,

3) those who reject faith,

4) the proud and the boastful,

5) any swaggering braggart, strutting in his steps,

6) the harm doers and

7) any vainglorious prideful boasters.

In this article, that Allah does not love the Unjust;  those that do wrong.

Moreover, the Quran declares the fact that the days of the life of this world are vicissitudes among men, folks and nations

———————————————————————-

The meanings of verse 3:140 of the Noble Quran:

Background:

The Day of Badr is the first battle between the believers (300 men) and the disbelievers (1000 men); the believers won that battle in great astonishing success.

The Day of Uhud is the second battle between the believers (550 men) and the disbelievers (1200 men), at first the believers won then the disbelievers won at the end.

Verse 3:140 says that:

If a wound touches you, befalls you at Uhud,

If ye have received a blow, if you were harmed on the Day of Uhud

The people of Mecca, the disbelievers, have received on the Day of Badr harm like the harm you received on the Day of Uhud.

i.e., a like wound, already, at Badr, has touched the other people, the disbelievers.

These are only the vicissitudes, the days of the life of this world, which Allah cause to follow one another for mankind, sometimes the believers have the upper hand over the unbelievers and sometimes it is the unbelievers who have the upper hand over the believers,

Such days Allah deal out in turn, Allah dispense them, among mankind, one day for one group, the next day for another, that they might be admonished,

And that God may know, through knowledge manifested outwardly, those who believe, who are sincere in their faith from others;

And that He may take witnesses from among you, honoring them with martyrdom, and God loves not the evildoers, the disbelievers,

That is, He will chastise them severely at the day of Judgment,

And the blessings He bestows upon the disbelievers are only a means of drawing out their punishment.

The days of the life of this world are vicissitudes:

This is a fact that said in the Noble Quran more than 1400 years ago.  Anyone who studies the history of men, folks and nations appreciates and acknowledges such fact.

———————————————————————-

Verse 3:140 in different translations

QARIB:

If a wound touches you, a similar wound already has touched the nation. Such days we alternate between the people so that Allah knows those who believe, and that he will take witnesses from among you, for Allah does not love the harm doers,

SHAKIR:

If a wound has afflicted you (at Uhud), a wound like it has also afflicted the (unbelieving) people; and we bring these days to men by turns, and that Allah may know those who believe and take witnesses from among you; and Allah does not love the unjust.

PICKTHAL:

If ye have received a blow, the (disbelieving) people have received a blow the like thereof. these are (only) the vicissitudes which we cause to follow one another for mankind, to the end that Allah may know those who believe and may choose witnesses from among you; and Allah loveth not wrong-doers.

YUSUFALI:

If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) we give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that he may take to himself from your ranks martyr-witnesses (to truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.

The meanings of verse 4:36 of the Noble Quran:

And serve Allah, acknowledge His divine Oneness.

Ascribe no thing, no idol as partner unto Him.

And worship God, declare His Oneness, and associate nothing with Him.

Show kindness unto parents, be dutiful and gentle-mannered to them, and also unto near kindred.

Be kind to near kindred, and to orphans, and to the needy, and to the neighbor who is near, to you in terms of [physical] vicinity or kinship, and to the neighbor who is a stranger, the one far from you in terms of [physical] vicinity or kinship; and to the friend at your side, a traveling companion, or a colleague at work, and, it is also said, one’s wife; and to the wayfarer, the one cut off during a journey, and to what your right hands own, of bondsmen. 

Allah commands you to keep ties with your kin, and orphans

Allah commands that you show kindness to orphans, and to protect their wealth, etc, and the needy, and He enjoins giving alms to the needy, and unto the neighbor who is of kin unto you,

The neighbor who also happen to be your relative has three rights over you: the right of kinship, the right of Islam, and the right of being a neighbor

And the neighbor who is not of kin, the neighbor who is not a relative has two rights: the right of Islam and the right of being a neighbor

and the fellow traveler, a fellow traveler has two rights: the right of Islam and the right of companionship;

it is also said that this refers to one’s wife at home. Allah commands kindness towards her (and the wayfarer)

Allah commands the honoring of guests. Honoring a guest for three days is the guest’s right. The honour bestowed on the guest after the third day is considered a charity on the part of the host;

And the slaves, whom your right hands possess, Allah commands kindness towards slaves, males and females.

Lo! Allah does not love such as are proud, in their walking and boastful about the bounties of Allah, showing nothing but wantonness and arrogance towards Allah’s servants, and Allah does not love the one who boasts before people of what he has been given.
