Atheists in Quran (35) they are hasty

The Atheists try to hasten the punishment against which the Prophet Muhammad warns them. Sarcastically, they say, ‘When will this promise of resurrection and chastisement be fulfilled, if you are truthful O Muhammad?

The Quran says that 1) Man is a creature of haste; he is so hasty in his affairs and 2) Verily, messengers before you O Muhammad were derided but those who mocked them were encircled by the chastisement, which they used to deride; likewise, it shall befall those who have derided you.

———————————

The Arabs at the time of the Prophet Muhammad were one of two:

The unbelievers deny the existence of One God and they used to worship many idols as gods

The Atheists who deny the existence of any god

Both groups deny the Resuscitation, the Day of Judgment and the Afterlife

They deny the very existence of Allah, the Most Merciful, who has created the universe and set the rules that operate in it and sustain its existence.

Herein, a likely dispute is expected.

Allah’s Messenger Muhammad speaks out against their deities, showing such inanimate idols to be useless.

On the other hand, The Atheists and unbelievers rudely deny Allah and they hurl abuse and mockery at Allah’s Messenger, saying that it is unacceptable that he should criticize their idol worship. They find nothing wrong with the arrogance that leads them to

Deny Allah’s existence,

Deny Allah’s Messenger and

Reject Allah’s revelation, the Quran.

The sarcasm of their attitude exposes to the full the far- reaching corruption that affects their nature and impairs their judgment.

Whenever they see you O Muhammad, they take you in derision and pick you out for mockery

What is more stupid of them?

They try to hasten the punishment against which the Prophet warns them.

They say, ‘When will this promise of resurrection and chastisement be fulfilled, if you are truthful O Muhammad?

Man is a creature of haste; he is so hasty in his affairs

Haste is present in man’s very nature and constitution.

He always stretches his eyes to what lies ahead, beyond the present moment, aiming to grasp it with his own hand. He wants to achieve, the moment it flashes in his mind, all that seems desirable. He wants to see all that is promised to him, even though it may be to his damage. Such is man’s nature, unless he establishes a firm relationship with Allah, which gives him strength and reassurance. He will then trust to Allah’s wisdom, leaving His will to run its course without hastening events. For faith combines trust with patience and reassurance.

Those unbelievers hastened Allah’s punishment, wondering when the promise of punishment in the hereafter, as well as in this life, would be fulfilled.

The Quran paints here for them a scene of the suffering in the hereafter, while also warning them against a similar punishment to that which befell earlier communities, which rejected the faith

If the unbelievers only knew what shall happen to them:

They would change their attitude completely.

They would stop their mockery and hastening of what is bound to come.

Let them, then, see what is bound to come.

There, the fire surrounds them on all sides.

Nay, but it, the Resurrection, shall come upon them suddenly, dumbfounding them, confusing them, and they shall not be able to ward it off, nor shall they be granted any respite, [nor shall they] be given any [extra] time to make a repentance or offer an excuse.

We envisage their agitated movements, described implicitly in the verse, to protect their faces and their backs against the fire, but their attempt is useless. It is as if the fire engulfs them on all sides. They can neither keep it away from themselves, nor retreat to seek protection. Nor is even a short respite from it possible.

That the punishment comes suddenly is only the response for their hastening it.

Sarcastically, they used to say time after time:

“When is this promise to be fulfilled, if what you say be true?”

The answer is that it comes suddenly, perplexing their minds and paralyzing their will. Thus, they are unable to think or act. This applies to the punishment in the hereafter.

Moreover, verily messengers before you were derided but those who mocked them were encircled by the chastisement, which they used to deride; likewise, it shall befall those who have derided you.

As for this world’s punishment, it certainly befell communities before them, which ridiculed Allah’s messengers. Just as those communities were unable to ward off a punishment that wiped them out altogether, so these unbelievers are unable to avert their defeat and captivity. They are thus warned not to deride Allah’s Messenger, to avoid the punishment that befalls those who ridicule prophets. Such fate and punishment is bound to come, because it is part of Allah’s law, which will inevitably, take effect, just as the destruction of earlier communities, guilty of the same offence, proves.

The verses 21:36-41in different translations:

QARIB:

36-When the unbelievers see you, they take you only for mockery, saying: ‘is this he who talks about your gods? ‘While they are unbelievers in the remembrance of the merciful.

37-The human was created of haste. Indeed, I will show you my signs; so do not ask me to hasten them.

38-They say: ‘if you are truthful, when will this promise come? ‘

39-If the unbelievers only knew when they will be unable to shield either their faces or their backs from the fire; when they will not be helped!

40-It will overtake them suddenly, dumbfounding them. they shall be unable to ward it off, and they shall not be respited.

41-Before you, other messengers were mocked, but the mockers were encompassed by the very thing they mocked.

SHAKIR:

36-And when those who disbelieve see you, they do not take you but for one to be scoffed at: is this he who speaks of your gods? and they are deniers at the mention of the beneficent Allah

37-Man is created of haste; now will i show to you my signs, therefore do not ask me to hasten (them) on

38-And they say: when will this threat come to pass if you are truthful?

39-Had those who disbelieve but known (of the time) when they shall not be able to ward off the fire from their faces nor from their backs, nor shall they be helped

40-Nay, it shall come on them all of a sudden and cause them to become confounded, so they shall not have the power to avert it, nor shall they be respited

41-And certainly messengers before you were scoffed at, then there befell those of them who scoffed that at which they had scoffed

PICKTHAL:

36-And when those who disbelieve behold thee, they but choose thee out for mockery, (saying): is this he who maketh mention of your gods? and they would deny all mention of the beneficent.

37-Man is made of haste. I shall show you my portents, but ask me not to hasten.

38-And they say: when will this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful?

39-If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not be able to drive off the fire from their faces and from their backs, and they will not be helped!

40-Nay, but it will come upon them unawares so that it will stupefy them, and they will be unable to repel it, neither will they be reprieved.

41-Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked, but that whereat they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them.

YUSUFALI:

36-When the unbelievers see thee, they treat thee not except with ridicule. “is this,” (they say), “the one who talks of your gods?” and they blaspheme at the mention of (Allah) most gracious!

37-Man is a creature of haste: soon (enough) will i show you my signs; then ye will not ask me to hasten them!

38-They say: “when will this promise come to pass, if ye are telling the truth?”

39-If only the unbelievers knew (the time) when they will not be able to ward off the fire from their faces, nor yet from their backs, and (when) no help can reach them!

40-Nay, it may come to them all of a sudden and confound them: no power will they have then to avert it, nor will they (then) get respite.

41-Mocked were (many) messenger before thee; but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.

Atheists in Quran (16) they mocked Muhammad

The Quran talked about the Atheists’ mockery they hurled at the Prophet Muhammad. The Quran says, “If they knew of the time when they shall not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs and none shall protect them from it at the Resurrection”.

———————————

Do Not Overlook this Warning

The verses 21:38-41 describe how the Atheists deal with Muhammad

The verses talk about

• The way the unbelievers received Allah’s Messenger and the revelations he was given.
• The mockery they hurled at him and
• Their persistent disbelief.

The verses follow this by pointing out that, by nature, man is hasty.

One manifestation of this haste is the unbelievers’ attempts to hasten Allah’s punishment.

Hence, it warns them against such haste and makes it clear to them that they must refrain from mocking the Prophet Muhammad if they wish to avoid the consequences of such unwarranted behavior. That is the persistent suffering of the unbelievers in the hereafter.

The verses talk about the accuracy of the reckoning in the hereafter and the suitability of the reward given on the Day of Judgment.

Thus, the reckoning and the reward are linked to the rules operating in the universe, human nature and human life.

What is more, they try to hasten the punishment against which the Prophet warns them.

For, by nature, man is hasty:

“Man is a creature of haste.”

Haste is present in man’s very nature and constitution.

Man always stretches his eyes to what lies ahead, beyond the present moment, aiming to grasp it with his own hand.

Man wants to achieve, the moment it flashes in his mind, all that seems desirable. He wants to see all that is promised to him, even though it may be to his detriment.

Such is man’s nature, unless he establishes a firm relationship with Allah, which gives him strength and reassurance. He will then trust to Allah’s wisdom, leaving His will to run its course without hastening events. For faith combines trust with patience and reassurance.

Those Atheists hastened Allah’s punishment, wondering when the promise of punishment in the hereafter, as well as in this life, would be fulfilled.

The Quran describes here for them a scene of the suffering in the hereafter, while also warning them against a similar punishment to that which befell earlier communities that rejected the faith “If only the unbelievers knew [that there will come]

• A time when they will not be able to shield their faces and their backs from the fire;
• A time when they will find no support.

Indeed, it will come upon them all of a sudden, and will stupefy them.

They will be unable to avert it, nor will they be allowed any respite.

Other messengers were derided before your time; but those who scoffed at them were [in the end] overwhelmed by the very thing that they derided.”

(Verses 39-41)

If the Atheists only knew what will happen to them, they would change their attitude completely.

They would stop their mockery and hastening of what is bound to come.

Let them, then, see what is bound to come. Therein, the fire surrounds them on all sides.

Imagine their frantic movements, described implicitly in the verse, to protect their faces and their backs against the fire, but their attempt is futile. It is as if the fire engulfs them on all sides. They can neither keep it away from themselves, nor retreat to seek protection. Nor is even a short respite from it possible.

That the punishment comes suddenly is only the response for their hastening it.

They used to say time after time:

“When is this promise to be fulfilled, if what you say be true?” (Verse 38)

The answer is that it comes suddenly, perplexing their minds andparalyzing their will. Thus, they are unable to think or act, let alone enjoy a period ofgrace to mend their ways.

This applies to the punishment in the hereafter. As for this world’s punishment, it certainly befell communities before them, which ridiculed Allah’s messengers. Just like those communities were unable to ward off a punishment that wiped them out altogether, so these Atheists are unable to avert their defeat and captivity. They are thus warned not to deride Allah’s Messenger, so as to avoid the punishment that befalls those who ridicule prophets. Such fate and punishment is bound to come, because it is part of Allah’s law which will inevitably take effect, just as the destruction of earlier communities, guilty of the same offence, proves.

This is Allah (73) The Good Party of the Israelites Who Did Not…

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

Verses 7:162-163 of the Noble Quran talk about:

Verses 7:164-166 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) The evil- doers party of the Israelites who used to…,

2) The unenthusiastic party of the Israelites who neither…nor…,

3) The good party of the Israelites who did not…,

4) To Whom Allah said: Be apes and they became so and

5) Why Has Allah turned them into animals?

—————————————–

Herein are the answers of the above questions followed by the details

1) To Whom Allah Said: Be apes and They Became So

There were three disobedient men who were evil doers and encouraged others to do so Allah said to them: Be apes, despised!, and they became so.

2) The Evil- Doers Party of the Israelites Who Used To..

The Quran says that the evil-doers party used to catch fish on the Sabbath and encouraged others to do so too.

3) The Unenthusiastic Party of the Israelites Who Neither…Nor…

The Quran says that there was another group of people who did not catch fish on the Sabbath but did not warn others against doing so.

4) The Good Party of the Israelites Who Did Not…

The Quran says that there was another group of people (the good party) who did not catch the fish on the Sabbath and warned and prohibited others against doing so.

5) Why Has Allah Turned Them Into Animals?

The Quran says that when they disdained, to desist from, that which was prohibited to them, Allah has turned them into animals.

—————————————–

In the previous article:

Allah Commanded the Israelites to say: Repentance; and say: there is no deity except Allah; O Our Lord! Forgive our sins Forgive our sins but they changed what they were commanded to say.

Allah Commanded the Israelites to enter the gate of the township prostrate; but they entered the gate dragging themselves on their rears.

Then Allah sent upon the Israelites the plague for their wrong-doing

And question them, O Muhammad, about the city that was by the sea, bordering the Red Sea about what befell its inhabitants (the Israelites), how they would violate, the Sabbath, by fishing, which they had been commanded not to do on that day; how their fish would come to them on the day of their Sabbath floating at the surface, visible at the surface of the water; but on the day they did not observe the Sabbath, when they would not consecrate the Sabbath over the other days, they would not come to them, as a trial from Allah. Thus, Allah was trying them for their wickedness. And when they went to fish, the city split into three: one third joined the fishing party, another prohibited them, while a third abstained from both fishing and prohibiting.

—————————————–

The meaning of verse 7:164

While still talking about the dwellers of city that was by the Red Sea, the verse talks about the unenthusiastic party of the Israelites who neither fished nor prohibited it.

The verse says:

And when a community among them said: Why preach ye to a folk whom Allah is about to destroy by turning them into animals and punish with an awful doom with the Fire?  They said: In order to be free from guilt before your Lord, in order to have an argument before your Lord, and that haply they may ward off evil, ward off taking the fish on the Sabbath. These were three people (the evil-doers party) who used to catch fish on the Sabbath and encouraged others to do so too. There was another group of people who did not catch fish on the Sabbath but did not warn others against doing so. And lastly there was another group of people who did not catch the fish on the Sabbath and warned others against doing so. Allah turned those who caught fish on the Sabbath and enjoined others to do so into animals and spared the others.

In other words, the verse says: And when a community among them, who neither fished nor prohibited it, said, to those who prohibited it: Why do you preach to a folk whom Allah is about to destroy or chastise with a severe chastisement?  They said, our admonishing them is, ‘As an exculpation, by which we excuse ourselves, before your Lord, lest we are reproached for failing to prohibit them in any way; and so that they might be wary of fishing.

The meaning of verse 7:165

And when they forgot that whereof they had been reminded; and when they left what they were commanded to do, Allah rescued those who forbade wrong i.e. catching fish on the Sabbath, and visited those who did wrong by catching fish on the Sabbath with dreadful, a severe punishment because they were evil-livers, because they were transgressors.

In other words, the verse says: And when they forgot, when they overlooked, that whereof they had been reminded, that for which they had been admonished, and did not desist, Allah delivered those who forbade evil, and seized those who did wrong, through transgression, with a grievous, terrible, chastisement for their wickedness.

The meaning of verse 7:166

And when they disdained, to desist from, that which was prohibited to them,

Allah said to them: Be apes, despised!, abased, and loathed! humiliated and abominated! And they became so.

This is an explication of what preceded with regard to the details of their ‘grievous chastisement’.

But, what about the unenthusiastic party?

Ibn Abbās, one of the famous interpreters of the Quran said: ‘I do not know what befell the group that abstained’.

On the other hand, Ikrima (also a famous interpreter of the Quran) said: That group was not destroyed because they had been averse to what the others did and had said: Why preach ye to a folk whom Allah is about to destroy…

============

Verses 7:164-166 in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

164) And when some asked: ‘why do you admonish a nation whom Allah will destroy or sternly punish? ‘ they replied: ‘(seeking) a pardon from your Lord, and in order that they may be cautious. ‘

165) Therefore, when they forgot that of which they were reminded, we saved those who were forbidding evil, and seized the evildoers with an evil punishment for that which they used to do of evil.

166) And when they had scornfully persisted in what they had been forbidden, we said to them: ‘be apes, despised. ‘

SHAKIR:

164) And when a party of them said: why do you admonish a with a severe chastisement? they said: to be free from blame before your Lord, and that haply they may guard (against evil)

165) So when they neglected what they had been reminded of, we delivered those who forbade evil and we overtook those who were unjust with an evil chastisement because they transgressed

166) Therefore when they revoltingly persisted in what they had been forbidden, we said to them: be (as) apes, despised and hated

PICKTHAL:

164) And when a community among them said: why preach ye to a folk whom Allah is about to destroy or punish with an awful doom, they said: in order to be free from guilt before your Lord, and that haply they may ward off (evil).

165) And when they forgot that whereof they had been reminded, we rescued those who forbade wrong, and visited those who did wrong with dreadful punishment because they were evil-livers.

166) So when they took pride in that which they had been forbidden, we said unto them: be ye apes despised and loathed!

YUSUFALI:

164) When some of them said: “why do ye preach to a people whom Allah will destroy or visit with a terrible punishment?”- said the preachers:” to discharge our duty to your Lord, and perchance they may fear him.”

165) When they disregarded the warnings that had been given them, we rescued those who forbade evil; but we visited the wrong-doers with a grievous punishment because they were given to transgression.

166) When in their insolence they transgressed (all) prohibitions, we said to them: “be ye apes, despised and rejected.”

This is Allah (39) How Noah Conveyed Allah’s message

Noah, the Great Prophet

Noah’s Mission Was to Give Good Counsel Unto his People But Who Cared?

Noah Said unto his People: I know from Allah what you do not Know of Torment, if Disbelieve

Noah’s People Marveled that a Prophet is a Man From Among Them

Noah’s people were blind to the truth; disbelievers in Allah

 

This series is an attempt to help the people to know Allah, their Creator.  

Verses 7:62-64 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) Allah’s messages were conveyed by Noah, the Great Prophet,

2) Noah’s mission was to give good counsel unto his people but who cared? 

3) Noah said unto his people: I know from Allah what you do not know of torment, if you disbelieve,

4) Noah’s people marveled that a prophet is a man from among them and

5) Noah’s people  were blind to the truth; disbelievers in Allah.

——————————————-

The meaning of verse 7:62

I convey unto you the messages of my Lord, by explaining commands and prohibition and give good counsel unto you,

I am advising you, I desire good,

I warn against the torment and call you to repentance and faith,

and I know from Allah what you do not know of torment, if you do not believe.

 

The meaning of verse 7:63

Do you then, deny, marvel that a prophet, a reminder, an admonition, from your Lord by means of a man among you, a human being like you, should come to you through, the tongue of, a man from among you,

and that you may keep from evil, and that you obey Allah and ward off worship of other than Him,

that he, the prophet, may warn you, of chastisement if you do not believe, and that you may fear, Allah, and that haply you may find mercy and not be tormented.

 

The meaning of verse 7:64

But they denied him, and so Allah delivered him and those with him, from drowning, in the Ark, in the ship, and Allah drowned those who denied His signs, by means of the Flood. Truly they were blind to the guidance and to the truth.  Truly they were disbelievers in Allah.

Verses 7:62-64 in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran:

QARIB:

62- (Sent) to convey to you the messages of my lord and to advise you, for i know from Allah what you do not know.

63- Do you wonder that a remembrance should come to you from your lord to a man from yourselves in order that he may warn you and that you may be cautious so that mercy comes upon you? ‘

64- (But) they belied him, so we saved him and those who were with him in the ark, and we drowned those who belied our verses. surely, they were a blind nation.

 

SHAKIR:

62- I deliver to you the messages of my lord, and i offer you good advice and i know from Allah what you do not know

63- What! do you wonder that a reminder has come to you from your lord through a man from among you, that he might warn you and that you might guard (against evil) and so that mercy may be shown to you?

64- But they called him a liar, so we delivered him and those with him in the ark, and we drowned those who rejected our communications; surely they were a blind people

Allah Asks you (29) will you then submit to Allah’ Will?

Allah Says that Muhammad is a Mercy to all the worlds

Satan says the opposite!

where are you in this crucial issue?

Only Allah Knows when the Day of Resurrection is

————————————————-

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.

Allah is asking mankind this question: Say: it is only revealed to me that your God is one, Allah; will you then submit? But if they turn back, say: I have given you warning in fairness; although I do not know whether nigh or far that which you are promised of chastisement is with respect to the Day of Resurrection that comprises this chastisement; only Allah knows it.

————————————————-

The question in this article is to all the disbelievers:

Say: it is only revealed to me that your God is one, Allah; will you then submit? But if they turn back, say: I have given you warning in fairness; although I do not know whether nigh or far that which you are promised of chastisement is with respect to the Day of Resurrection that comprises this chastisement; only Allah knows it.

If you submit yourself to Allah then you are a Muslim and if not, you are not.

You totally have the freedom of belief, but are you ready for the “Hour”?

————————————————-

Verses 21:107-110 give the question of this article and talk about it

The meanings of Verses 21:107-110

 

Verse 21:107 says:

We did not send you O Muhammad, except as a mercy to all the worlds, the worlds of mankind and jinn through you; that shields from chastisement for the peoples from among the Jinn, humans and all those who believe in you; it is also said that mercy here means blessing.

Herein, there is a very important question:

Allah, the Creator of the worlds says that He sent Muhammad as a mercy to all the worlds.

On the other hand, Satan and his hosts say the opposite.

Well, where are you in this crucial issue?

Verse 21:108 says:

Say O Muhammad: It is inspired unto me in this Quran that your God is One; Allah Who has no children or partners.  So will you submit?

Will you then surrender unto Him?

will you accede to affirming the Oneness of the Divine that is being revealed to me? 

will you then believe and be sincere in your worship and profession of Allah’s divine Oneness!

 

Verse 21:109 says:

If you submit yourself to Allah then you are a Muslim and if not, you are not.

You totally have the freedom of belief, but are you ready for the “Hour”?

But if they turn away from faith and sincerity, then say to them, O Muhammad:

I have warned you, I have informed you, and as such you and I have become all alike both of us are openly aware of the matter and there is no secret, that is to say, you are all equal in having knowledge of this: I shall not proceed independently without having first informed you, in order for you to make preparations, although I do not know whether nigh or far that which you are promised of chastisement is with respect to the Day of Resurrection that comprises this chastisement; only Allah knows it.

 

Verse 21:110 says:

Indeed He, exalted be He, knows whatever is spoken aloud, and what you and others do, and He knows what you conceal, both you and others, of secrets of words and deeds, just as He knows the time of your chastisement.

108) Say: it is only inspired in me that your Allah is one Allah. will ye then surrender (unto him)?

109) But if they are averse, then say: I have warned you all alike, although I know not whether nigh or far is that which ye are promised.

110) Lo! he knoweth that which is said openly, and that which ye conceal.

 

YUSUFALI:

107) We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures.

108) Say: “what has come to me by inspiration is that your Allah is one Allah: will ye therefore bow to his will (in islam)?”

109) But if they turn back, say: “I have proclaimed the message to you all alike and in truth; but I know not whether that which ye are promised is near or far.

110) “It is he who knows what is open in speech and what ye hide (in your hearts).

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. ‘

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?

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?”

Allah does not love (1) the disbelievers

What the hypocrites said about Muhammad?

What every soul will wish at the Day of Judgment?

Allah warns mankind to be bewaring of Him

———————————————

On the Day of Judgment, Every soul will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil deeds.  Allah warns all of you to be bewaring of Him: Obey Allah and obey Muhammad; but if man turns away and does not obey, Lo! Allah does not love the disbelievers, meaning that He will chastise them.

———————————————

The meanings of verses 3:30-32 of the Noble Quran:

Verse 3:30 says that: On the Day of Judgment,

When every man will find himself confronted with all that he/she has done,

Everything of good and of evil is written in its register.

Every soul will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil deeds.

The Lord warns you of His Self.

Allah warns all of you to be beware of Him.

And Allah is full of pity for His bondmen.

He is full of pity for the believers.

 

When they said, ‘We only worship idols out of our love for God, that they might bring us close to Him’,

Verse 3:31 was revealed:

Say, O Muhammad, ‘If you love Allah, follow me, and Allah will love you,

Meaning that He will reward you, and forgive your sins;

Allah is Forgiving, as regards the sins, committed previously, by one who now follows the Prophet Muhammad; Merciful, to him.

This verse was revealed about the Jews who claimed they were the children of Allah and His beloved ones.

When this verse was revealed one of the hypocrites said: “Muhammad is commanding us to love him as the Christians loved Jesus”, and the Jews said: “Muhammad wants us to take him as a compassionate Lord, just as the Christians took Jesus as a compassionate Lord”.

 

Consequently, Allah revealed the verse 3:32 about their comments:

Say: Obey Allah regarding what He has obligated and obey the Messenger in his practices.

But if they turn away from obeying Allah and Muhammad

Lo! Allah does not love the disbelievers, meaning that He will chastise them.

This indicate that anyone denies Allah and His Prophet Muhammad is a disbeliever!

Chapter 6 of the Quran (93) who shall have the praiseworthy sequel in the Afterlife?

The entire messengers sent by Allah said to the unbelievers among their people: ‘O people! Work according to your faith, act according to what please you. Truly we, the believers, are acting according to what pleases Allah. And assuredly you will know who shall have the praiseworthy sequel in the abode of the Afterlife will it be us or yourselves?

——————————————-

Allah has sent messengers to mankind as warners to warn man of the encounter of the Day of Judgment if he disbelieves.

Sending of the messengers is because Allah, the absolute Just, would never punish unwarned people.

The message of the Entire messengers was the same; that is to worship the only One True God whose name is Allah.

The entire messengers used to tell their people:

Truly, that which you were promised, of Death, of revival, of the Hour   will surely come to pass, inevitably, and you cannot escape

Truly, that which you were promised of the Day of Judgment and of questioning you for what you have done in the life of this world will surely come to pass, unescapably, and you cannot elude.

Actually, that which you were promised of the chastisement of the unbelievers and their the dwelling of the unbelievers in the Eternal Hell will surely come to pass, unquestionably, and they cannot escape.

Truthfully, that which you were promised of the dwelling of the unbelievers in the Eternal Hell will surely come to pass, and they cannot escape and none of their friends can help them

Ayah 6:135 continues saying:

Say O Muhammad to the unbelievers:

‘O people! Work according to your faith act according to what please you,

Truly we, the believers, are acting according to what pleases Allah.

And assuredly you will know who shall have the praiseworthy sequel in the abode of the Afterlife will it be us or yourselves?

Surely, the the unjust disbelievers shall not be successful in the Afterlife; they will not be safe nor will they escape from Allah’s torment. None of their friends will be able to help them.

It should be emphasised that the entire messengers sent by Allah said all of the above to their people.

The verse 6:135 in different translations

QARIB:

Say: ‘work according to your station my people, for indeed I am working. ‘You shall know to whom will be the good end of the abode. The harmdoers shall not be triumphant.

SHAKIR:

Say: o my people! Act according to your ability; I too am acting; so you will soon come to know, for whom (of us) will be the (good) end of the abode; surely the unjust shall not be successful

PICKTHAL:

Say (O Muhammad): o my people! Work according to your power. lo! I too am working. Thus ye will come to know for which of us will be the happy sequel. lo! the wrong-doers will not be successful.

YUSUFALI:

Say: “o my people! Do wver ye can: I will do (my part): soon will ye know who it is whose end will be (best) in the hereafter: certain it is that the wrong-doers will not prosper.”

Chapter 6 of the Quran (90) the Jinn Messengers

Allah sent human messengers to mankind and jinn messengers to the jinn. The message of both the human messengers and the jinn messengers was the same; it is to worship the only one true God whose name is Allah.The Quran is the only book on the earth which says that!

——————————————-

Ayah 6:129 cnontinues saying:

So, just as We let the rebels from among mankind and jinn enjoy one another (read the preious article), We let some of the evildoers have authority over others because of what they were used to earn, of acts of disobedience.

Then Ayah 6:130 went back again to mankind and jinn; it says:

O assembly of jinn and mankind, did not messengers come to you from among your own, who were warners to warn you of the encounter of this Day of Judgment?

They shall say, ‘We bear witness against ourselves’ that they (the messengers) did.

Allah, exalted be He, says: 

The life of this world deluded you, and so you did not believe.

And they bear witness against themselves that they were evil-doers and disbelievers.

This verse indicates that Allah sent human messengers to mankind and jinn messengers to the jinn. The message of both the human messengers and the jinn messengers was the same; it is to worship the only one true God whose name is Allah.

The Quran is the only book on the earth which says that!

The verses 6:129-130 in different translations

QARIB:

129) so we make the harmdoers guides of each other for what they have earned.

130) ‘jinn and human, did there not come to you messengers of your own who narrated to you my verses and warned you of encountering this day? ‘

They will reply: ‘we bear witness against ourselves. ‘Indeed, the life of this world beguiled them.

 They will bear witness against themselves that they were unbelievers.

SHAKIR:

129) and thus do we make some of the iniquitous to befriend others on account of what they earned

130) O assembly of jinn and men! Did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you my communications and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours?

They shall say: we bear witness against ourselves; and this world’s life deceived them, and they shall bear witness against their own souls that they were unbelievers

PICKTHAL:

129) thus we let some of the wrong-doers have power over others because of what they were wont to earn.

130) o ye assembly of the jinn and humankind! came there not unto you messengers of your own who recounted unto you my tokens and warned you of the meeting of this your day? They will say: we testify against ourselves. And the life of the world beguiled them. And they testify against themselves that they were disbelievers.

YUSUFALI:

129) thus do we make the wrong-doers turn to each other, because of what they earn.

130) “o ye assembly of jinns and men! came there not unto you messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you my signs, and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours?” they will say: “we bear witness against ourselves.” it was the life of this world that deceived them. so against themselves will they bear witness that they rejected faith.
