QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)
2:216. Warfare has been decreed for you while you hate it; and perhaps you may hate something while it is good for you, and perhaps you may love something while it is bad for you; and Allah knows while you do not know.
[2:190-193. And fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight you, but do not aggress, Allah does not love the aggressors.
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.
And if they cease, then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
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.
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.]
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 Sacred Masjid, 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!
[Human personality is not static. It either progresses or retrogresses. Hell and Paradise are the logical consequences of the degree of development of the ‘self’.
5:54. O you who believe, whoever from among you turns away from His system, then Allah will bring a people whom He loves and they love Him; humble towards the believers, proud towards the rejecters; they strive in the cause of Allah and do not fear to be blamed by those who blame. This is the grace of Allah, He bestows it upon whom He wills; Allah is Encompassing, Knowledgeable.
91:8. So He gave it its evil and good.]
2:218. Those who believe, and those who have immigrated and strived in the cause of Allah; these are seeking the mercy of Allah; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[2:132. And Abraham enjoined his sons and Jacob: "O my sons, Allah has selected the system for you, so do not die except as ones who have submitted."
53:32. They avoid major sins and immorality, except for minor offences. Your Rabb is with vast forgiveness. He has been fully aware of you since He initiated you from the earth, and while you were embryos in the wombs of your mothers. Therefore, do not ascribe purity to yourselves; He is fully aware of the righteous.
53:39-40. And man will have what he sought.*
*And his works will be shown.]
2:219. They ask you about alcohol and gambling. Say: "In them is great harm, and a benefit for the people; but their harm is greater than their benefit." And they ask you how much they are to give, say: "The excess." It is thus that Allah clarifies for you the revelations that you may think.
2:220. In this world and the next; and they ask you regarding the orphans, say: "To fix their situation is best, and if you are to care for them, then they are your brothers." And Allah knows the corrupt from the good, and if Allah had wished He could have made things difficult. Allah is Noble, Wise.
[5:91. The devil only wants to cause strife between you through alcohol and gambling, and to repel you away from remembering Allah and from the contact prayer. Will you be deterred?
33:5. Name them by their fathers. That is more just with Allah. But if you do not know their fathers, then, name them as your brothers in the system and your patrons. There is no sin upon you for what mistake you make in this respect; but you will be responsible for what your hearts deliberately intend. Allah is Forgiver, Merciful.
‘Islah’ from its root SLH carries all the meanings rendered above as a part of ‘long term betterment’]
2:221. And do not marry the female polytheists until they believe. For a believing female servant is better than a polytheist even if she attracts you. And do not marry the male polytheists until they believe. For a believing male servant is better than a polytheist even if he attracts you. Those invite to the Fire, while Allah is inviting to the Paradise and forgiveness by His consent. He clarifies His revelations for the people that they may remember.
[Mushrik = One who ascribes partners to Allah = Who ascribes divinity besides Him = Who associates others with Him = Who invents or acknowledges authorities parallel to Him = Sets up idols in any form = Who side-lines Divine revelation in favor of manmade books or themes = Who worships his desires = Hero worshiper = A sectarian = Whoever hopes for any dead humans or saints to help him = Ancestor worshiper = Who ascribes children to Allah = A believer in intercession by angels or humans = Who seeks Divine Guidance outside the Final revelation = A subscriber or claimant to mysticism or clairvoyance = Who believes in created beings having Divine Powers = Accepts ultimate law-givers other than Allah = Prostrates before tyrants or “holy” men. Mushrikah = A Mushrik woman.
Shirk 17:111. And say: "Praise be to Allah who has not taken a son, nor does He have a partner in sovereignty, nor does He have an ally out of weakness." And magnify Him greatly.
25:2. The One to whom belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and He did not take a son, and He does not have any partner in kingship. And He created everything and measured it precisely.
18:26. Say: "Allah is fully aware how long they remained, to Him is the unseen of the heavens and the earth, He sees and hears. They do not have besides Him any ally, and He does not share in His judgment with anyone."
40:12. This is because when Allah alone was mentioned, you rejected, but when partners were set up with Him, you believed. Therefore, the judgment is for Allah, the Most High, the Great.
18:38. "But He is Allah, my Rabb, and I do not set up any partners at all with my Rabb"
18:42. So his fruits were ruined, and he began turning his hands at that which he had spent on it while it remained destroyed upon its branches. And he said: "I wish I had not set up any partner with my Rabb!"
18:110. Say: "I am but a human being like you, being inspired that your Allah is One Allah. So whoever looks forward to meeting his Rabb, then let him do good works, and not serve anyone besides his Rabb."
24:55. Allah promises those among you who believe and do good works, that He will make them successors on the earth, as He made successors of those before them, and He will enable for them their system which He has approved for them, and He will substitute security for them in place of fear: "That they serve Me, not setting up anything with Me." And as for those who reject after that, these are the wicked.
10:18. And they serve besides Allah what does not harm them or benefit them, and they say: "These are our intercessors with Allah." Say: "Are you informing Allah of what He does not know in the heavens or the earth?" Be He glorified and exalted above what they set up.
30:31. Turn to Him, and be aware of Him, and hold the contact prayer, and do not be of the polytheists.
10:66. Certainly, to Allah belong all who are in the heavens and those who are on the earth. As for those who call on partners besides Allah, they only follow the conclusion, and they only guess.
6:14. Say: "Shall I take other than Allah as an ally; the initiator of the heavens and the earth; while He feeds and is not fed!" Say: "I have been commanded to be the first who submits." And do not be of the polytheists.
6:40. Say: "We will see when the retribution of Allah comes to you, or the Hour comes to you, if you will still call on any other than Allah. If you are being truthful."
9:31. They have taken their Priests and Monks to be patrons besides Allah, and the Messiah, son of Mary, while they were only commanded to serve One Allah, there is no god except He, be He glorified against what they set up.]
2:222. And they ask you about the menstruations? Say: "It is harmful, so retire yourselves sexually from the women during the menstruations, and do not approach them until they are cleansed. When they are cleansed, then you may approach them as Allah has commanded you." Allah loves the repenters and He loves the cleansed.
[Mutatahhireen= Mutahharoon =Those who are clean = Clean of mind.
56:79. None can grasp it except those purified.
‘manner designed by Allah’ = Ways of Allah in Nature.
2:282. O you who believe, if you borrow for a future period, then you shall record it. And let a scribe of justice record it for you; and let not the scribe refuse to record as Allah has taught him. Let him record and let the person who is borrowing dictate to him, and let him be aware of Allah, and let him not reduce from it anything. If the one who is borrowing is immature or weak or he cannot dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate with justice; and bring two witnesses from among your men; if there are not two men, then a man and two women from whom you will accept their testimony, so that if one of them becomes blindsided, then the one can remind the other. And let the witnesses not refuse to come if they are called. And do not fail to record it no matter how small or large until its maturity. That is more just with Allah and better for the testimony, and better that you do not have doubts; except if it is a trade to be done on the spot between you, then there is no sin upon you if you do not record it. And have evidence if you trade. No scribe shall be harmed nor any witness; for if you do so then it is a wickedness on your part, and be aware of Allah and Allah teaches you and Allah is aware of all things.
5:4. They ask you what was made lawful to them, say: "All the good things have been made lawful for you, and what the trained dogs and birds catch, you teach them from what God teaches you." So eat from what they have captured for you and mention the name of Allah upon it, and be aware of Allah. Allah is swift in reckoning.
96:5. He taught man what he did not know. ]
2:223. Your women are a cultivation for you. So approach your cultivation as you wish towards goodness. And be aware of Allah and know that you will meet Him, and give good news to the believers. [Nisaa = Women, not wives]
2:224. And do not make Allah the subject of your casual oaths. Be pious and righteous and reconcile among the people; and Allah is Hearer, Knower.
2:225. Allah will not call you to account for your casual oaths, but He will call you to account for what has entered your hearts. Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.
