Sûrat AzZumar
(The Different Groups, Communities, Families) XXXIX
In the Name of Allâah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1. The revelation of AlQur’âan is from Allâah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
2. We have sent down AlQur'aan to you Mohamed in truth:
So worship and obey Allâah by doing righteous deeds sincerely for Allâah only.
3. AdDeen of worship and obedience is for Allâah only.
Those who take Auliyâ’ (idols, lords, gods, intermediators) besides Him say:
"We worship them so that they may bring us near to Allâah."
Allâah will judge between them concerning their differences.
Allâah does NOT guide a Liar, and a disbeliever.
4. Had Allâah needed a son or offspring, He could have chosen what He willed out of those whom He created.
Glory be to Him! He is above such things. He is Allâah, the One, the Irresistible.
5. He has created the heavens and the earth with Truth.
He makes the night to go in the day and makes the day to go in the night.
He has commanded the sun and the moon to run on a fixed course for an appointed term.
He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving.
32. Then, who does more wrong than one who utters a lie against Allâah, and denies the truth of AlQur’âan, the Prophet Mohamed and Monotheism!
Is there not in Hell an abode for the disbelievers?
33. Mohamed; who has received AlQur’âan and Monotheism and the true believers of Monotheism, those are AlMuttaqûn (the pious)
34. They shall have all that they will desire with their Lord.
That is the reward of Muhsinûn (doers of good deeds).
35. So that Allâah may take from them the evil of what they did and give them the reward, according to the best of what they have done.
36. Is not Allâah Sufficient for His slave?
Yet they try to frighten you with those whom they worship besides Him!
Who Allâah sends astray, for him there will be no guide.
37. Whom Allâah guides, for him there will be no misleader.
Is not Allâah All-Mighty, Possessor of Retribution?
38. And if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?"
They will say: "Allâah has created them."
Say:
"Tell me then, the things that you invoke besides Allâah, if Allâah intended some harm for me, could they remove His harm?
Or if Allâah intended some mercy for me, could they withhold His Mercy?".......Say:
"Sufficient for me is Allâah; in Him those who Believe, must put their trust."
39. Say: Mohamed, "O My people!
Work according to your way, I am working according to my way. Then you will know
40. "To whom comes a disgracing torment, and on whom descends an everlasting torment."
41. We have sent down to Mohamed صلى الله عليه وسلم) AlQur’âan for Mankind in Truth.
So who ever accepts the guidance, it is only for his ownself, and whoever goes astray, goes astray for his loss.
You Mohamed صلى الله عليه وسلم are not a Wakîl ( disposer of affairs, judge) over them.[1]
Sûrat AlGhâfir or AlMû’min
(The Forgiving or The Believer) XL
In the Name of Allâah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
57. The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind; yet, most of mankind does not understand.
78. Indeed We have sent Messengers before you Mohamed صلى الله عليه وسلم): of some of them We have related to you their story.[2]
And of some We have not related to you their story, and it was not given to any Messenger that he should bring a sign except by the Leave of Allâah. But, when comes the Commandment of Allâah, the matter will be decided with Truth, and the followers of falsehood will then be lost.
b) The asking of Jibraeel (Gabriel) from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم about Belief, AlIslâam, Ihsân (perfection) and the knowledge of the Hour (Doomsday), and their explanation given to him by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to his companions: "Jibraeel (Gabriel) عليه السلام came to teach you your Faith." So the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم regarded all that Deen. And all that which the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم explained to the delegation of ‘AbdûlQais was a part of faith. (See Sahih AlBukhâri, Vol.1, Hadîth No.50 and 87) And the Statement of Allâah عز وجل : "Who ever seeks a Faith other than AlIslaam, it will never be accepted of him." (3:85).
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه :
One day while the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was sitting in the company of some people, Jibraeel (Gabriel) عليه السلام came and asked,
"What is Faith?" Allâah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "Faith is to believe in Allâah, His angels, the meeting with Him, His messengers, and to believe in Resurrection."
* Then he further asked,
"What is Islâam?" Allâah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "To worship Allâah Alone and none else, to perform AsSalât (Iqamât-AsSalât), to give the Zakât and to observe Saum (fasts) during the month of Ramadhâan,"
** then he further asked, "What is Ihsân (perfection)?" Allâah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "To worship Allâah عز وجل as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you."
(1) When a female slave gives birth to her master.
(2) When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings.
And the Hour is one of the five things which nobody knows except Allâah.
Abu ‘Abdullâh رضي الله عنه said: He (the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) considered all that as a part of faith.
(Sahih AlBukhâri, Vol.1, Hadîth No.47).
*In this Hadîth, only 4 articles are mentioned, while in another Hadîth, 6 articles are mentioned:
(i) Allâah;
(ii) His Angels;
(iii) His Books AtTaurat, AlInjeel, AlQur’âan and all the other Holy Books revealed by Allâah;
(iv) His Messengers,
(v) Day of Resurrection and
(vi) AlQadar (Divine Pre-ordainments), what ever Allâah has ordained, must come to pass.
**Again the principles of AlIslâam mentioned here are 4, but in other narrations, they are 5 - 5th is the pilgrimage (Hajj ) to Makkah for the one who can afford it once in a lifetime.
[2] (V.40:78)
There are many Prophets and Messengers of Allâah.
About twenty-five of them are mentioned in AlQur’aan; out of these twenty-five, only five are of strong will, namely:
Mohamed صلى الله عليه وسلم, Nûh, Ibrâhîm, Mûsâ, and ‘ÎsâibnMaryam عليهم السلام .
