QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)
2:186. And if My servants ask you about Me, I am near answering the calls of those who call to Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided.
[ Allah response: A sincere caller will be shown the right direction. The caller may experience a change, feeling comforted and motivated. Du’a, as a Cause, may interact with countless Divine laws in nature to produce the Effect. And the Qur’an has answers to all their questions.
3:193."Our Rabb, we have heard a caller inviting to the faith: "Believe in your Rabb," so we have believed. Our Rabb forgive us our bad deeds, and forgive our sins, and let us die in the company of the righteous."
7:56. And do not corrupt the earth after it has been made right; and call on Him fearing and hoping. Surely the mercy of Allah is near the righteous.
8:24. O you who believe, answer the call of Allah and His messenger when he calls you to what will grant you life. And know that Allah comes between a person and his heart, and that to Him you will be gathered.
32:15. The only people who believe in Our revelations are those whom when they are reminded by them, they fall prostrating, and they glorify the praise of their Rabb, and they are not arrogant.
40:60.And your Rabb said: "Call on Me and I will respond to you." Surely, those who are too arrogant to serve Me, they will enter Hell, humbled.
42:25. And He is the One who accepts the repentance from His servants, and He forgives the sins. He is fully aware of what you do.
45:22. And Allah created the heavens and the earth with the truth, and so that every soul may be recompensed for whatever it earned, and they will not be wronged.
47:7. O you who believe, if you support Allah, He will support you, and make your foothold firm.]
2:187. It has been made lawful for you during the night of fasting to approach your women sexually. They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them. Allah knows that you used to betray your souls so He has accepted your repentance, and forgiven you; now you may approach them and seek what Allah has written for you. And you may eat and drink until the white thread is distinct from the black thread of dawn; then you shall complete the fast until night; and do not approach them while you are devoted in the temples. These are the boundaries of Allah, so do not transgress them. It is thus that Allah clarifies His revelations to the people who they may be righteous.
[I’tikaaf = Special task = To be deputed = Extra duty = Unique assignment. ‘Aakifoon = Those on I’tikaaf. Unfortunately, under the Ajami alien influences, the concept given to I’tikaaf has reduced this Sublime Ordinance to ten days of ascetic and ritualistic isolation in a mosque in the third part of Ramadhan. Obviously, this invented practice violates the Qur’anic injunctions against monasticism and human rights.
57:27. Then We sent in their tracks Our messengers. And We sent Isa, son of Maryium, and We gave him the Gospel, and We ordained in the hearts of his followers kindness and mercy. But they invented Monasticism which We never decreed for them. They wanted to please Allah, but they did not observe it the way it should have been observed. Consequently, We gave those who believed among them their recompense, while many of them were wicked.
Libaas= Garment = Raiment embraces all the meanings rendered. ‘Saum’ or Abstinence
2:183. O you who believe, fasting has been decreed for you as it was decreed for those before you, perhaps you may be righteous.]
2:188. And do not consume your money between you unjustly by bribing the decision makers so that you may consume a part of the money of other people sinfully while you know!
2:189. They ask you regarding the crescent moons, say: "They are a timing mechanism for the people and the Pilgrimage." And piety is not that you would enter a home from its back, but piety is whoever is righteous and comes to the homes from their main doors. And be aware of Allah that you may succeed.
[2:138.Such is the coloring of Allah, and who is better than Allah in coloring? And to Him we are in service.
2:177.Piety is not to turn your faces towards the east and the west, but pious is one who believes in Allah and the Last Day, and the angels, and the Book, and the prophets, and who gives money out of love to the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and those who ask, and to free the slaves; and who upholds the contact prayer, and who contributes towards purification; and those who keep their pledges when they make a pledge, and those who are patient in the face of adversity and hardship and when in despair. These are the ones who have been truthful, and these are the righteous.
2:208. O you who believe, join in peace, all of you, and do not follow in the footsteps of the devil. He is to you a clear enemy.
There is no such thing as a part-time Muslim]
2:190. And fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight you, but do not aggress, Allah does not love the aggressors.
[2:194.The restricted month may be met within the restricted month, and what is unlawful may be met with retaliation. Whoever attacks you, then you shall attack him the same as he attacked you; and be aware of Allah, and know that Allah is with the righteous
2:217. They ask you about the restricted month: "Is there fighting in it?" Say: "Much fighting is in it, and to repel from the path of Allah and to disbelieve in it, and the Restricted Temple, to drive its inhabitants out from it is far greater with Allah, and persecution is worse than being killed." And they still will fight you until they turn you back from your system if they are able. And whoever of you turns back from his system, and he dies while disbelieving, then these have nullified their works in this world and the next; these are the people of the Fire, in it they will abide!
4:91. You will find others who want to be safe among you and safe among their own people. Every time they are returned to the test, they fall back in it. If they do not withdraw from you, and offer you peace, and restrain their hands, then you shall take them and kill them wherever you encounter them. For these We have given you a clear authority.
9:5. So when the restricted months have passed, then you may kill the polytheists wherever you find them, and take them, and surround them, and stand against them at every point. If they repent, and they hold the contact prayer, and they contribute towards purification, then you shall leave them alone. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
9:36.The count of the months with Allah is twelve months in the book of Allah the day He created the heavens and the earth; four of them are restricted. This is the correct system; so do not wrong yourselves in them; and fight the polytheists collectively as they fight you collectively. And know that Allah is with the righteous.
22:39.Permission has been given to those who are being fought - for they have been wronged. And Allah is able to give them victory.
60:8. Allah does not prohibit you from those who have not fought you because of your system, nor drove you out of your homes, that you deal kindly and equitably with them. For Allah loves the equitable.
Four months
2:194. The restricted month may be met within the restricted month, and what is unlawful may be met with retaliation. Whoever attacks you, then you shall attack him the same as he attacked you; and be aware of Allah, and know that Allah is with the righteous.*
*of no wars in the world will train people toward achieving restraint and permanent peace for all. Mu’tadeen = Transgressors = Aggressors = Those who cross limits]
2:191. And kill them wherever you encounter them, and expel them from where they expelled you, and know that persecution is worse than being killed. And do not fight them at the Restricted Temple unless they fight you in it; if they fight you then kill them, thus is the recompense of the rejecters.
[Haith = Wherever = Whenever. Thaqif = Find out = Come to know. So, fight them regardless of your knowledge of their socio-geographic origins.
The Masjid of Security in Makkah must be a safe Sanctuary, a model of amnesty, and a Meeting point for all mankind.
2:125. And We have made the Sanctuary to be a model for the people and a security. And you shall take, from the station of Abraham, a place for making the contact. And We entrusted to Abraham and Ishmael: "You shall purify My Sanctuary for those who visit, and those who are devoted, and the kneeling, the prostrating."
2:144. We see the shifting of your face towards the heaven; We will thus set for you a focal point that will be pleasing to you: "You shall set yourself towards the Restricted Temple; and wherever you may be, you shall all set yourselves towards it." Those who have been given the Book know it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
3:96. The first Sanctuary established for the people is the one in Bakk'a, blessed, and a guidance for the worlds.
5:2. O you who believe, do not violate the symbols of Allah, nor the restricted month, nor the donations, nor what is regulated, nor the safety made by the Restricted Sanctuary; for they are seeking a bounty from their Rabb and a blessing. And when it is permitted for you, then you may hunt. And let not the hatred of another people; because they had barred you from the Restricted Temple; make you aggress. And help each other in piety and righteousness, and do not help each other in sin and aggression. And be aware of Allah, for the retribution of Allah is severe.
5:97. Allah has made the Ka'aba to be the Restricted Sanctuary; to stand for the people, and the restricted month, and the donations, and the regulations; that is so you may know that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is in earth, and that Allah is aware of all things.
9:18.Rather, the temples of Allah are maintained by he who believes in Allah and the Last Day, and he upholds the contact prayer, and he contributes towards purification, and is only concerned by Allah. It is these that will be of the guided ones.
22:25. Surely, those who have rejected and repel from the path of Allah, and from the Restricted Temple that We have made for the people - for the one devoted therein and the one who visits it - and whoever inclines to evil action in it, We will let them taste a painful retribution.
48:25. They are the ones who rejected and barred you from the Restricted Temple, and barred your donations from reaching their destination. And there had been believing men and believing women whom you did not know, and you may have hurt them, and on whose account you would have incurred a sin unknowingly. Allah will admit into His mercy whoever He wills. Had they become separated, We would then have punished those from them who rejected with a painful retribution.
Qatl = Kill = Bring low = Subdue = Fight = Attack = Slay = Strike = Defend]
2:192 And if they cease, then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[People should take their ‘hue’ from Allah, and thus, they must be forgiving and compassionate.
2:138. Such is the coloring of Allah, and who is better than Allah in coloring? And to Him we are in service.]
2:193. And fight them so there is no more persecution, and so that the system is for Allah. If they cease, then there will be no aggression except against the wicked.
[No compulsion or coercion in religion
2:256. There is no compulsion in the system; the proper way has been clarified from the wrong way. Whoever rejects evil, and believes in Allah, indeed he has taken grasp of the strongest hold that will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
Lillah = For the sake of Allah alone.
Zulm = Displace something from its rightful place = Replace good with evil = Oppression = Relegation of the truth = Exploitation = Violation of human rights = Doing wrong to oneself or others = Choosing to do wrong]
2:194. The restricted month may be met within the restricted month, and what is unlawful may be met with retaliation. Whoever attacks you, then you shall attack him the same as he attacked you; and be aware of Allah, and know that Allah is with the righteous.
[Temporary cessation of hostilities provides a cooling off period and it can avert war. History and Tafseers expositions of the Qur’an report the four Months of Peacetime as the first, the seventh, the eleventh and the twelfth month of the Lunar Calendar.
However, the Qur’an being the Ultimate authority specifies them differently.*
The four Months of Security begin with the Month of Pilgrimage, Zil-Hajjah, the 12th Lunar Month.
9:5. So when the restricted months have passed, then you may kill the polytheists wherever you find them, and take them, and surround them, and stand against them at every point. If they repent, and they hold the contact prayer, and they contribute towards purification, then you shall leave them alone. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
9:36. The count of the months with Allah is twelve months in the book of Allah the day He created the heavens and the earth; four of them are restricted. This is the correct system; so do not wrong yourselves in them; and fight the polytheists collectively as they fight you collectively. And know that Allah is with the righteous. ]
2:195. And spend in the cause of Allah, but do not throw your resources to disaster. And do good, for Allah loves those who do good.
[You might throw yourselves into destruction by withholding contributions to this noble cause]
