SURAH HUD 61 - 123

 QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)

SURAH HUD

In the Name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

11:61. And to Thamud We sent their brother Salih. He said, "O my people! Serve Allah, not you have any god other than Allah. Allah produced you from the earth and settled you in it. So ask forgiveness of Allah, then repentance to Allah . Indeed, my Rabb is near, All-Responsive".

11:62. They said, O Salih! Verily you were among us the one in whom hope were placed before this. Do you forbid us that we worship what worshipped our forefathers? And indeed we surely are in doubt about what you call us to it, suspicious.

11:63.  He said, "O my people! Do you see, if I am on a clear proof from my Rabb, and Allah has given me from Allah's Mercy  then who will then help me against Allah, if I disobey Allah? So  you do not increase to  me other than loss.

11:64.  And O my people! This will be Allah's she-camel  for you a Sign, so leave her to eat in  Allah's earth, and do not touch her with evil, for then  a near punishment should seize you.

[91:13. Allah's messenger said to them: "This is Allah's camel, let her drink."

55:10. And the earth has Allah spread out for all living beings.

6:141. And Allah is the One Who initiated gardens; both trellised and untrellised; and palm trees, and plants, all with different taste; and olives and pomegranates, similar and not similar. Eat from its fruit when it blossoms and give its due on the day of its harvest; and do not waste. He does not like the wasteful.*]


11:65.  But they slew her. So he said, "Enjoy yourselves in your home for three days, that is a promise not to be belied."*

[‘Aqarooha = They hamstrung her. Severing the hamstrings of a camel leads to a quick demise, therefore, ‘they hamstrung her’ = ‘They killed her’]


11:66.  So when came Our command We saved Salih, and those who believed with him by Mercy from Us, and from the disgrace of that Day. Indeed, your Rabb, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.

11:67. And seized those who wronged, the thunderous blast then they became in their homes fallen prone.

11:68. As if not they had prospered therein. Now surely, indeed, samood disbelieved in their Rabb, now surely away with samood.

11:69. And certainly came Our messengers to Ibrahim with glad tidings. They said, "Peace." He said, "Peace," and not he delayed to bring a calf roasted.

11:70. But when he saw their hands not reaching to it, he felt unfamiliar of them and felt apprehension from them a fear. They said, "Do not fear. Indeed, we have been sent to the people of Lut."

11:71. And his wife was standing and she laughed. Then We gave her glad tidings of Ishaq, and from after Ishaq of  Yaqub.

11:72. She said, "Woe to me ! Shall I bear a child while I am an old woman and this, my husband is an old man? Indeed, this is surely a amazing thing.

11:73. They said, "Are you amazed at the  decree of Allah? The Mercy of Allah and Allah's blessings be on you, people of the house. Indeed, Allah is All-Praiseworthy, All-Glorious."

11:74. And when had gone away from Ibrahim the fright, and had reached him the glad tidings, he argued with Us, concerning the people of Lut.

11:75. Indeed, Ibrahim was certainly forbearing, imploring, and oft-returning.

11:76. O Ibrahim! Turn away from this. Indeed, it certainly has come, the Command of your Rabb and indeed, they will come for them a punishment which cannot be repelled.

11:77. And when came Our messengers to Lut, he was distressed for them and felt straitened for them and uneasy, and said, "This is a  distressful day."

11:78. And came to him his people rushing to him, and already they did evil deeds. He said, "O my people! These are my daughters, they are purer for you. So fear Allah and do not disgrace me with regard to my guests; Is there not among you one man right-minded?"

11:79. They said, "Verily you know that we have no claim on your daughters.,and indeed, you know well what we want."

11:80. He said, "If that I had over you power or I could take refuge in a strong support ."

11:81. They said, "O Lut! Indeed, we are messengers of your Rabb, never they will reach you. So travel with your family in a part of the night and let not look back anyone of you, except your wife. Indeed, it will strike her what will strike them. Indeed, their appointed time is the morning. Is not the morning near?"

11:82. So when came Our Command, We made its upside, its downside, and We rained upon them stones of baked clay in layers.

11:83. Marked from your Rabb. And it is not from the wrongdoers very far.

11:84.  And to Madyan, their brother Shuaib. He said, "O my people! Serve Allah, you have no any god other than Allah. And do not decrease from the measure and the scale. Indeed, I see you in prosperity, but indeed, I fear for you punishment of an all-encompassing day.

11:85. And O my people! Give full measure, and weight in justice and do not cheat the people out of their rights, and do not spread corruptly in the land by spreading corruption.

11:86. What remains from Allah is best for you, if you are believers. And  I am not  over you a guardian."

11:87. They said, "O Shuaib! Does your salah command you that we leave what worship our forefathers, or that we do concerning our wealth what we will? Indeed you,  you are the forbearing, the right-minded."

11:88. He said, "O my people! Do you see if I am on a clear evidence from my Rabb, and Allah has provided me with good provision from Himself .And I do not desire that in opposition to you. I should  bektake myself to that which i forbid you. Not I intend except the reform from as much as I am able  and  with none but Allah is the direction  of my affair to a right  issue ;on Allah do I rely and to Allah do I turn.

11:89. And O my people! Let not your  dissension from me drive lest you into sin, lest there befall you the like of what befell the people of Nuh or the people of Hud or the people of Salih. And the people of Lut  are not from you far away.

11:90.  And ask forgiveness of your Rabb, then turn in repentance to Allah. Indeed, my Rabb is Most Merciful, Most Loving.-Kind".

[14:8. Musa said, "If you reject, you and all who are on earth together, yet Allah is Rich, Praiseworthy."]


11:91. They said, "O Shuaib! we do not understand much of what you say, and surely we see you to be weak among us. And if not for your family surely we would have stoned you and  you are not  mighty against us."

11:92. He said, "O my people! Is my family more esteemed  by you than Allah? And you have taken Him, behind your backs. Indeed, my Rabb is All-Encompassing of what you do.

11:93.  And O my people! Work according to your position, indeed, I am working. Soon you will know on whom will come a punishment that will disgrace him, and who he is a liar. And watch you! indeed, I am with you a watcher."

11:94. And when came Our Command, We saved Shuaib and those who believed with him by a Mercy from Us. And seized those who had wronged, the thunderous blast then they became in their homes fallen prone.

11:95. As if not they had prospered therein. So, away with Madyan as was taken away the Thamud.

11:96.  And certainly We sent Musa with Our verse and an clear authority.

11:97. To Firaun and his chiefs, but they followed the command of Firaun, and the command of Firaun, was  not right.

11:98.  He will go ahead of his people on the Day of the Resurrection and  bring them down to the Fire. And evil is the place to which they are brought.

[14:28. Did you not see those who replaced Allahs blessings with rejection, and they caused their people to dwell in the abode of destruction?]

11:99.  And they were followed in this by a curse and on the Day of the Resurrection. Evil the gift which shall be be given.

11:100. That is from the news of the cities which We relate to you; of them, some are standing and others mown down.

11:101.  And not We wronged them but they wronged themselves. So not availed them their Allah whom they called upon beside Allah, any thing, when came the command of your Allah. And not they increased them other than ruin.

11:102.  And thus is the punishment of your Rabb when Allah punishes the cities while they are doing wrong. Indeed, Allah's  punishment is painful, and severe.

11:103.  Indeed, in that is surely a verse for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day will be gathered on it the mankind, and that is a Day that shall be witnessed.

11:104.  And We do not delay it except for a term limited.

11:105. The Day it comes not will speak a soul except by Allah’s leave.Then among them will be the wretched, and the glad.

[36:59. “But stand aside today, O you who were lost in sin!]

11:106.   As for those who were wretched then they will be in the Fire for them therein is sighing, and groaning.

[21:100.  Moaning will be their lot therein, and nothing [else] will they hear therein. ]


11:107.   Abiding therein from as long as remain the heavens and the earth, except from what wills your Rabb. Indeed, your Rabbis All-Accomplisher of what Allah intends.

[14:48. The day the earth is replaced with another earth, as are the heavens, and they will appear before Allah, the One, the Irresistible.

21:104.  On the day when We roll up the heavens like a scroll of books is rolled up. As We initiated the first creation, so shall We return it. It is a promise of Ours that We will do this.

25:22. On the day they see the controllers, that is not good news for the criminals. They will say, "Away to a place that is sealed off."

39:37. Whomever Allah guides, then there will be none that can mislead him. Is Allah not Almighty, an avenger of evil ?

50:44.  On the Day when the earth is riven asunder all around them as they hasten forth [towards Allah's judgment]: that gathering will be easy for Us [to encompass].

69:16. And the sky will be rent asunder - for, frail will it have become on that Day.

70:9.  And the mountains will be like tufts of wool.]


11:108.  And as for those who will be glad then they will be in Paradise, will be abiding therein from as long as remains the heavens and the earth, except as your Rabb- a bestowal not interrupted.

11:109. So do not be in doubt as to what worship these polytheists. Not they worship except as what pworshipped their forefathers from before. And indeed, We will surely pay them in full their share without being diminished.

11:110.  And verily We gave Musa the Book, but differences arose therein. And if not for a Word that preceded from your Rabb, surely would have been judged between them. And indeed, they surely are in doubt concerning it suspicious.

11:111.And indeed,  unto each surely will pay them in full your Rabb their deeds. Indeed, Allah is All-aware of all that they do.

11:112. So stand firm as you are commanded and those who turn in repentance with you, and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah All-Seer all that you do. 

11:113. And do not incline to those who do wrong lest touches you the Fire, and you have no guardian besides Allah any protectors; then you will not be helped.

11:114. And establish the salat at the two ends of the day and in the first hours of the night. Indeed, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for those who remember.

11:115. And be patient, for indeed, Allah does not let go waste the reward of the good-doers.

11:116. So why had not been of the generations from before you those possessing  understanding, who should have forbidding from the corruption in the earth except a few of those We saved among them? But  those who wronged  pursued what luxury they were given therein, and they were criminals.

[Zulm = Displacing something from its rightful place = Wrongdoing = Violation of human rights. 

Mujrimeen = Criminals = Guilty = Those who thrive on the fruit of others’ toil)


11:117. And  your Rabb would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers.

[Muslihoon = Reformers = Those who help their own and fellow humans’ condition = Those who set things right in their environment. 

This is one of the most important verses in the Qur’an. 

It throws out all dogmatic assertions that are the hallmark of a ‘religion’. As we have seen, Islam is not a ‘religion’,  

It is Ad-Deen, the Divinely Prescribed System of Life.]


11:118. And if  your Rabb had pleased surely Allah  have made the people a single community , but they will  not cease to differ.

[5:48.We have sent down to you the book with truth, authenticating what is present of the book and superseding it. So judge between them by what Allah has sent down, and do not follow their desires from what has come to you of the truth. For each of you We have made laws, a structure. Had Allah willed, Allah would have made you all one nation, but Allah tests you with what Allah has given you, so advance the good deeds. To Allah you will return all of you, and Allah will inform you regarding that in which you dispute.]


11:119. Except  those on whom has bestowed Mercy your Rabb, and for this did  Allah create them. And  the Word of your Rabb will be fulfilled, "Surely I will fill Hell with the Jinn and the men all together."

11:120. And each(story), We relate to you from the  news of the Messengers for that We may make firm with it your heart. And there has come to you in this, the truth(Qur'an)and an admonition and a reminder to the believers.

11:121. And say to those who do not believe, "Work (Act) according to your position; indeed, we are also working (acting).

11:122. And wait; indeed, we are waiting also.

11:123. And for Allah unseen of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah will be returned the matter, all of it, so serve Allah, and put your trust upon Allah. And your Rabb is not unaware of what you do.

SURAH HUD 1 - 60

QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)*

SURAH HUD

In the Name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

11:1. Alif Lam Ra. This is a Book, whose Verses are perfected and then explained in detail from One (Allah), Who is All-Wise All-aware.

11:2.  That you shall not serve (any) but Allah. Surely, I am  a warner for you from him a bringer and a giver of good news.

11:3.  And  that “Seek the forgiveness of your Rabb then turn to Allah in repentance, that Allah will let you enjoy a good provision, for a term appointed, and bestow Allah's abounding grace to every owner of grace. But if you turn away then indeed I fear for you the punishment of a Great Day.

11:4. To Allah is your return, and Allah has power over all things.”

11:5. No doubt! They did fold up their breasts, which they may hide from Allah. Surely when they cover themselves with their garments, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Indeed, Allah is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts.*

[71:7. "Every time I called on them so that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears and they covered their heads with their outer garments and they insisted, and they became greatly arrogant."]


11:6.  And not moving creature is there on earth but that upon Allah is its provision . And Allah knows its dwelling place and its place of storage. Everything is record in a clear book.

[6:99.And He is the One who sent down water from the heaven, and We brought out with it plants of every kind. We brought out from it the green, from which We bring out multiple seeds; and what is from the palm trees, from its sheaths hanging low and near; and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, similar and not similar. Look at its fruit when it blossoms and its ripeness. In this are signs for a people who believe.

55:29. Those in the heavens and earth ask Allah, everyday Allah is in some matter.]


*11:7. And Allah  is the one who  created the heavens and the earth in six era or stages and Allah's Throne was over the water, that Allah might test you, which of you is the best in deeds. But if you were to say : “Indeed, You will be raised up after death,” Surely those who disbelieve  “This is would say those who disbelieved. This is nothing but clear magic.”

[45:24. They said, "There is nothing but this worldly life; we die and we live and nothing destroys us except the passing of time!" They have no knowledge about this; they only conjecture.

Six Stages or Eras:

7:54.Your Rabb is Allah who has created the heavens and the earth in six  stages/eras, then He settled upon the Throne.*The night runs away from the day, which seeks it continually; and the sun and the moon and the stars are disposed by Allah command;  

10:3. Your Rabb is Allah who has created the heavens and the earth in six stages(eras), then Allah settled upon the Throne; Allah manages all affairs. There is no intercessor except after Allah's permission. Such is Allah your Rabb so serve Allah. Would you not remember?

11:7.He is the One who has created the heavens and the earth in six stages(Eras), and Allah's Throne was upon the water; so as to test who from among you works the best. And when you say: "You will be resurrected after the death," those who have rejected say: "This is but clear magic!".

25:59. The One who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six era or stages, then Allah settled to the throne. The Gracious; so ask Him for Allah is Ever-aware.

50:38. We have created the heavens, the earth and what is between them in six era or stages, and no fatigue touched Us.

57:4. He is the One who created the heavens and the earth in six era or stages, and then Allah settled over the dominion. He knows everything that enters into the land, everything that comes out of it, everything that comes down from the sky, and everything that climbs into it. He is with you wherever you may be. Allah is Seer of everything you do.

41:10. Allah placed in it stabilizers from above it, and Allah blessed it and established its provisions in four equal days, to satisfy those who ask.*

‘Sihr’ = Magic = Deception]


11:8.  And if We delay from them the punishment  until a stated period of time, they will certainly to say: “What detains it? ” Now surely on the day when it will comes to them,it will not be turn  away from them, and will be surround them,what they used to mock at it!

11:9. And if We give a man a taste of mercy from Us, then we withdraw it from him, verily, he is despairing and ungrateful.

11:10. But if We let him taste of favor after hardship has touched him,  surely he will say: “have gone the evils from me.” Surely, he is exultant and boastful (ungrateful to Allah).

11:11.  Except those who are patience and do the good deeds: those will be forgiveness and a great reward.

[A’maal Saaleh = Deeds that increase the individual and collective potential of a society = Helping people = Improving the environment = Fulfilling others’ needs = Contributing to the society]


11:12. Then it may be that you give up a part of what is revealed to you, and your breast will  become straitened by it because they say: “Why has not a treasure been sent down upon him, or an angel come with him? You are only a warner. And Allah is a Guardian over all things.

11:13.  Or they say, “He has fabricated it.” Say: “Then Bring ten  verses (Surahs) like it, and call whoever you can beside Allah, if you are truthful!”.

[Or produce one Surah like this* *2:23.And if you are in doubt as to what We have sent down to Our servant, then bring a chapter like this, and call upon your witnesses other than Allah if you are truthful.

10:38. Or do they say: “He(Messanger) has invented it” Say:  Then “Bring then one Surah like it, and call upon whomsoever you can besides Allah, if you are truthful!”.]


11:14. If  they do not answer you, then know that it is sent down with the knowledge of Allah and that there is no god besides Allah!  Then  would you be submit?( Muslims).

11:15.  Whoever is desires the life of the world and its adornments, We shall pay in full to them for their deeds therein, and they will not be a lessened therein.

[17:18. Whoever seeks the life of haste, We will hasten for Him what he wishes, then We will make hell for him a place which he will reach disgraced and rejected.]


11:16.  These are they for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter except the Fire. And lost is vain  what they did therein. And is worthless what they used to do.

11:17.  Is he then who has with him clear proof from his Rabb, and  a witness from Him recites (follows) it; And before it is the Book of Musa, as a guide and as mercy? Such people do believe in this guidance (in the Quran), but those who disbelieves (in the Quran)  of the sects then the Fire will be their promised meeting place. Thus have no  doubt about it ( the Qur'an). Indeed, it is the truth from your Rabb, but most of the peoples  do not believe.

[‘Tilawat’ = Reciting and following the Qur’an.‘  

Imam’ = Standard of truth = Literally, the plumb-line = A trustworthy leader, human or book = Authority = Decisive means]


11:18.  And who is more unjust  than he who invents a lie against Allah? Those will be presented against their Rabb, and will say the  witnesses. “These are the ones who lied against their Rabb!” No doubt: The curse of Allah against the wrongdoers.

[The clergy have tampered with previous scriptures, and they will keep doing it.

2:79. So woe to those who write the Book with their hands then say: "This is from Allah," so that they can purchase with it a cheap price! Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they gained.

2:101.  And when a messenger came to them from Allah, authenticating what was with them, a group of those who had already received the Book placed the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know.

3:77.  The ones who purchase with the pledge of Allah and their oaths a cheap price, those will have no portion in the Hereafter, and Allah will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them, and they will have a painful retribution.

5:48. We have sent down to you the book with truth, authenticating what is present of the book and superseding it. So judge between them by what Allah has sent down, and do not follow their desires from what has come to you of the truth. For each of you We have made laws, a structure. Had Allah willed, He would have made you all one nation, but He tests you with what He has given you, so advance the good deeds. To Allah you will return all of you, and He will inform you regarding that in which you dispute.

6:113.  That is so the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter listen to such fabrications, let them delight in it, and  that they may earn what they are earning.

6:138.  And they said: "These livestock and crops are reserved, and none shall eat from them except as we please," by their claims; and livestock whose backs are unlawful, and livestock over which they do not mention the name of Allah as an innovation against Him. He will recompense them for what they invented.

9:34. O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the Ahbar (rabbis) and the Ruhban (monks) who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder (them) from the way of Allah. And those who hoard up gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah, announce unto them a painful punishment.

22:52. We did not send before you any messenger or prophet, without having the devil* *interfere with his wishes. Allah then overrides what the devil has cast, and Allah secures Allah's igns. Allah is Knower, Wise].

11:19.  Those who prevent others from the way of Allah, and desire to make it crooked; and they are disbelievers in the Hereafter.

11:20.  Those will not he able to escape in the earth, and nor have they protectors besides Allah! Their punishment will be doubled for them! They will not  be able to hear, nor did they see.

11:21. Those are the ones who have lost their souls , and lost from them is what they used to invent.

11:22.  No doubt that they in the Hereafter will be the greatest losers.

11:23.  Verily, those who believe and do good deeds, and humble themselves before their Rabb, those are the companions of Paradise  wherein they will live forever.

11:24.  The examples of the two parties is likes the blind and the deaf and the seer and the hearer. Are they equal in comparison? Then you will not  take heed.

[13:16-19. Say, "Who is the Lord of the heavens and earth," Say, "Allah." Say, "Have you taken besides Him allies who do not possess for themselves any benefit or harm?" Say, "Is the blind and the seer the same? Or, does the darkness and the light equate?" Or have they made partners with Allah who have created like His creation, so the creations all seemed the same to them? Say, "Allah has created all things, and He is the One, the Supreme."

Allah sent down water from the sky, so valleys flowed according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. From what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods similar foam is produced. It is in such a manner that Allah strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away; as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that Allah cites the examples.

For those who responded to their Rabb is goodness. As for those who did not respond to Him, if they had all that is in the earth twice over, they would offer it to be saved. To these will be a terrible reckoning, and their abode is hell; what a miserable abode.

Is one who knows that the truth has been sent down to you from your Rabb like one who is blind? Only those with understanding will remember.

35:39. Allah is the One who made you successors on the earth. Subsequently, whoever rejects, then to him is his rejection. The rejection of those who do not appreciate only increases their Rabb abhorrence towards them. The rejection of those who do not appreciate only increases their loss.

A brief historical resume of some communities and their Messengers illustrates this phenomenon - the efforts of the Messengers and the reaction of their respective people. Using Tasreef, here are some related verses about people and their Messengers described in Surah Hud.

Nuh to the Valleys of Tigris and Euphrates:

7:69, 10:72, 14:9, 21:76, 23:23, 26:109, 29:14, 71:21.

Hud to ‘Aad:

7:65, 7:123. 11:50, 29:38, 41:13, 46:26, 51:41, 53:50, 54:17, 69:4.

Saleh to Thamud: 7:73, 11:89, 26:141, 27:45. LOT: 6:86, 15:61, 21:74, 27:56, 29:26, 37:131.

Ibraham to Babylon and Ninevah:

 21:24, 2:258, 3:33, 3:96, 4:35, 4:125, 14:36, 16:120, 19:50, 21:51, 22:26, 29:27, 37:83, 37:99, 53:27, 53:37, 60:1, 87:19.

Sho’aib to Midyan:

 7:85, 9:70, 15:78, 22:44, 26:176, 38:13, 50:14.

Musa to the Israel and Firaun people:* 4:164, 6:84, 7:103, 7:144, 10:75, 17:101, 19:51, 20:9, 23:47, 26:10, 27-12, 28:22, 40:25, 79:15]

11:25.  And indeed We sent Nuh to his people (saying): “Indeed, I am to you a clear warner.”

11:26. "That you shall not serve except Allah; Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a painful day."

11:27.  But The chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his people said: “We see you but a man like us, and do not we see any have followed you but those who are the lowest of us at first thought. Thus we do not think that you are superior to us, rather you are liars.”

[17:70.We have honored the Children of Adam and carried them in the land and the sea, and We have provided for them of the good things, and We have preferred them over many of those We created.]


11:28.  He said: “O my people! Do you see, if I was an clear proof from my Rabb and he has granted  me mercy from Himself, but it has been obscured from your sight. Shall we compel you (to accept) it while you are averse to it.

11:29.  And O my people! I ask of you  for it any wealth, my reward is from none except Allah. And I am not going to drive away those who have believed. Surely, they will  be meeting their Rabb, I know that you are ignorant people.

11:30.  And O my people! Who will help me against Allah, if I drive them away?. Then Will  you not then mind?.*

11:31.  And I do not say to you that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor that I know the unseen; nor do I say I am an angel, and I do not say of those whom your eyes look down upon that Allah will not give them any reward. Allah knows  best what is in their souls. Then will be surely of the wrongdoers.

11:32. They said: "O Nuh! You have disputed with us, so bring us what you  threaten us,, if you are of the truthful."

11:33. He said: “Only Allah will bring it on you, if Allah wills, and  you will not escape.

11:34. "And my advice will not benefit you, even if I wished to give good advice, if Allah wants to let you go astray. Allah is your Rabb! and  you will be return to Allah."

[Allah has appointed laws for guidance e.g. making good use of our senses and reflecting with an open mind.

4:88. What is the matter with you that you are divided into two groups over the hypocrites, while Allah has allowed them to regress for what they have earned? Do you want to guide those whom Allah misguides? Whoever Allah causes to be misguided, you will never find for him a way.]

11:35. Or do they  say: “He has fabricated it.” Say: “If I have fabricated it, upon me is the consequence of my crime, but I am innocent of  what crimes you commit.

11:36. And it was revealed to Nuh: “None of your people will believe except those who have believed already. So be not sad because of what they have been doing.

11:37. “And construct the ship under Our Eyes and with Our inspiration, and do not address me on behalf of those who have wronged; they are surely to be drowned.”

[A flood in the valley of Tigris and Euphrates was brewing. The rejecters would drown for not heeding the Prophet.

23:27.So We inspired him: "Construct the Ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command comes and the volcano erupts, then you shall take on the Ship two from every pair, and your family; except for those of them upon whom the word has come. Do not address Me regarding those who have done wrong, for they will be drowned."

11:44.  It was said, "O land, swallow your water, and O sky, cease." The water was diminished, and the matter concluded. It came to rest on the Judi, and it was said, "Away with the wicked people."]


11:38.  And  he was constructing the Ark, but whenever some of his people passed by him, they would mock him. He said: “If you mock at us, so do we mock at you likewise for your mocking.”

11:39. “And you will know who will get a punishment  that will disgrace  him and upon  whom will fall a lasting torment.”

11:40. Till when Our command came and overflowed the oven. We said: “Load in it, of every kind two and your family -- except him against whom the Word has already gone forth -- and whoever believed. And none believed with him, except a few.”

[11:45.Nuh called on his Rabb, and he said, "My Rabb, my son is from my family, and your promise is the truth, and you are the Wisest of all Judges."

 66:10. Allah cites as examples of those who have rejected, the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut. They were married to two of Our righteous servants, but they betrayed them and, consequently, they could not help them at all against Allah. It was said, "Enter the fire, both of you, with those who will enter it."

Nuh's wife and son did not embark]

11:41. And he said: “Embark in it, in the Name of Allah will be its course and its  anchorage. Surely, my Rabb is Oft-Forgiving,All- Merciful.”

11:42.  Ans it sailed with them through waves like mountains, and Nuh called out to his son, who kept away from them, “O my son! Embark with us. Do not be with the disbelievers.”

11:43.  The son replied: “I will take myself to some mountain, it will save me from the water.” Nuh said: “There is no protector today  from the command of Allah except on whom Allah's mercy.” And waves came in between them, so he was among the drowned.

11:44.  And it was said: “O earth! Swallow up your water, and O sky! Withhold.” And the water was made to subside and Allah's command had been  fulfilled. And it rested on the Judi. And it was said: “Away with the people who are wrongdoers!”

11:45.  And Nuh called to his Rabb and said, “O my Rabb! Verily, my son is of my family! And indeed: Your promise is true, and You are the Most Just of the judges."

11:46.  Allah said: "O Nuh! Surely, he is not of your family; indeed, his work is unrighteous, so do not ask me about that which you have no knowledge! I admonish you, lest you be among the ignorant."

[The Divine Criterion of relationships is based on Ideology and not on lineage.

49:13. O people, We created you from a male and female, and We made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Surely, the most honorable among you in the sight of God is the most righteous. God is Knowledgeable, Ever-aware]

11:47. Nuh said: “O my Rabb! I seek refuge in You from asking that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and you have mercy on me, I will be among the losers.”

11:48.  It was said: "O Nuh! Go down with peace from Us and blessings on you and on the nation from those  with you, but to other nations: We will grant  enjoyment, then there  will touch them from us a painful punishment".

[And other communities, all of them will be awarded according to their deeds.

11:15. Whoever is desires the life of the world and its adornments, We shall pay in full to them for their deeds therein, and they will not be a lessened therein.]

11:49. This is from the news of the Unseen which We reveal to you; Neither you nor your people knew it before this. So be patient. Surely, the  end is for those who guard (against evil).

11:50.  And to  `Aad:  We sent their brother Hud. He said, “O my people! Serve Allah! You have no god other than Allah; you are nothing but inventors (of lies).

11:51. O my people, I do not ask you for it any reward. My reward is only with one who created me; do you not  then understand?

11:52.  And O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Rabb, then turn in repentance to Allah. Allah will send from the sky rain upon you in abundance and increase you in strength added to your strength. And do not turn away as criminals."

11:53. They said, "O Hud!  You have not brought to us clear proofs, and we will not leave our gods on your saying, and  we are not believers in you.

11:54.  All that we say,  except that have seized you some of our gods with evil." He said, "Indeed, I  call Allah to witness and you bear witness that? I am free  from  whatever you associate with Allah.

11:55. Other than Allah. So plot against me all together, then give me no respite.

11:56.  Indeed, I  put my trust upon Allah my Rabb, and your Rabb. There is not living creature but that Allah holds its forelock. Indeed, my Rabb is on  the  right path.

11:57.  So if you turn away, then verily I have conveyed to you what I was sent with [it] to you. And  my Rabb will give succession to a people in your place, and you cannot do Allah any harm. Indeed, my Rabb is Guardian over all things.

11:58. And when  Our command came, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by a Mercy from Us and We delivered them from a punishment severe.

11:59.  And this was Aad, they rejected the Signs of their Rabb and disobeyed: Allah's Messengers and followed the command of every tyrant obstinate (oppressor of the truth from their leaders).

11:60.  And they were followed in this world with a curse and on the Day of the Resurrection. No doubt! Indeed, Aad disbelieved their rab , now surely, away with Aad, the people of Hud.

SURAH YUNUS 1 - 109

 QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)

In the Name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

10:1. Alif-Lam-Ra. These are the verses of the Book(the Qur'an) of wisdom  (Al-Hakim).

10:2. Is it a wonder for the mankind that We have sent Our revelation to a man from among themselves (saying): “Warn the mankind, and give good news to those who believe that they shall have with their Rabbihim the rewards of their good deeds” (But ) the disbelievers say: “This is indeed an evident sorcerer!”

10:3. “Surely, your Rabb is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six stages (Eras) and then established(Istawa) on the Throne, governing all affairs of the universe. Not any intercessor except after Allah's permission. That is Allah, your Rabb; so serve Allah. Will you not take heed?.

[Six Stages or Eras:

2:255. Allah, there is no god except Allah, the Living, the Sustainer. No slumber or sleep overtakes Allah; to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who will intercede with Allah except with Allah's permission? Allah knows their present and their future, and they do not have any of Allah knowledge except for what Allah wishes. Allah's Throne encompasses all of the heavens and the earth and it is easy for Allah to preserve them. Allah is the Most High, the Great.

7:54. Your Rabb is Allah who has created the heavens and the earth in six stages (eras), then Allah settled upon the Throne. The night runs away from the day, which seeks it continually; and the sun and the moon and the stars are commissioned by Allah's command; to Allah is the creation and the command. Glory to Allah, Rabb of the worlds.

10:3. Your Rabb is Allah who has created the heavens and the earth in six stages(eras), then Allah settled upon the Throne; Allah manages all affairs. There is no intercessor except after Allah's permission. Such is Allah your Rabb so serve Allah. Would you not remember?

11:7. He is the One who has created the heavens and the earth in six stages(Eras), and Allah's Throne was upon the water; so as to test who from among you works the best. And when you say: "You will be resurrected after the death," those who have rejected say: "This is but clear magic!".

16:111. The Day every soul will come to argue for itself, and every soul will be paid in full for what it did, and they will not be wronged.

25:59. The One who has created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six stages(eras), then Allah settled upon the Throne. The Almighty; so ask Allah for Allah is Expert.

50:38. And We have created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six stages(eras), and no fatigue touched Us.

57:4. Allah  is the One who has created the heavens and the earth in six stages(eras), then Allah settled upon the Throne. Allah knows everything that enters within the earth, and everything that comes out of it, and everything that comes down from the heaven, and everything that ascends into it. And Allah is with you wherever you may be. Allah is Seer of what you do.

41:10. And Allah placed in it stabilizers from above it, and Allah blessed it and established its provisions in proportion in four days, to satisfy those who ask.]


10:4. To Allah is your return, of all of you. The promise of Allah is true.  Allah created the first creation and Allah will create it again, so that He may reward with justice those who believed and do righteous deeds (good works). And those who reject the truth,  for them will be a drink of boiling fluids and painful punishment because of their persistent refusal to acknowledge the truth.

[A consequence of their own doings.* *33:24.That Allah may recompense the truthful for their truthfulness, and punish the hypocrites if He so wills, or accepts their repentance. Allah is Forgiver, Merciful.

34:3. And those who rejected said: "The Hour will not come to us!" Say: "Yes, by my Rabb, it will come to you." Allah is the Knower of the unseen; not even the weight of an atom or less than that or greater can be hidden from Him, be it in the heavens or the earth. All are in a clear record.

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.

53:31.And to Allah belongs everything in the heavens and everything on the earth. Allah will requite those who commit evil for their works, and will reward the righteous for their righteousness.(good work]


10:5. Allah is the one who made the sun a shining light and the moon as a reflect light and determined for it phases -  that you might know the number of the years and the count of time. Allah did not create that exceptt in truth. Allah explains the verses in detail for people who wish to learn.

[The Universe is neither a dream as the ancient Hindu philosopher Manu preached, nor a reflection of the world of ideas as Plato thought.

 6:97.And Allah is the One who made for you the stars, to guide you by them in the darkness of the land and the sea. We have explained the signs to a people who know.

17:12. And We made the night and the day as two signs, so We erased the sign of night and We made the sign of day to see-in, that you may seek bounty from your Rabb, and that you may know the number of the years and the count. And everything We have detailed completely.]


10:6. Verily, in the alternation of the night and the day and in all that Allah has created in the heavens and the earth are verses for those who are mindful of divine laws(Taqwa).

[Taqwa = Seeking to journey through life in security = To live upright = To be mindful of Divine laws = Being observant = Shielding oneself against moral disintegration.

 2:41. And believe in what I have sent down, authenticating what is with you, and do not be the first to disbelieve in it! And do not purchase with My revelations a cheap gain, and of Me you shall be aware.]


10:7.Surely those who do not believe that they are destined to meet us  and  are satisfied with the life of this world and feel secure therein and those who are heedless of Our verses(ayat).

[56:59-61. Did you create it, or were We the Ones who created it?

We have predetermined death for you. Nothing can stop Us,

From transforming your forms, and establishing you in what you do not know.

11-106 -107. As for those who are distraught, they will be in the fire; in it for them is a sighing and a wailing.

Abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth exist, except for what your Rabb wishes. Your Rabb does as He pleases.

14:19. Did you not see that Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He wished, He would do away with you and bring a new creation.

14:48.TheDay the earth is replaced with another earth, as are the heavens, and they will appear before God, the One, the Supreme.

21:104. On the Day when We roll up the heavens like the scroll of a book is rolled up. As We initiated the first creation, so shall We return it. It is a promise of Ours that We will do this.

25:22. On the Day they see the angels, that is not good news for the criminals. And they will be saying: "An inviolable enclosure!".

35:16. If  Allah wishes, Allah could do away with you and Allah would bring a new creation.

36:81. Is not the One who has created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; Allah is the Creator, the Knowledgeable.

50:44. The Day when the earth will rapidly crumble away from them; that will be a gathering which is easy for Us.

69:16.And the sky will be torn, and on that Day it will be flimsy.

70:9.And the mountains are like wool.

2:55.And you said: "O Musa, we will not believe you until we see Allah openly!" So the lightning strike took you while you were still staring.]


10:8.Those, their abode will be the Fire, because of what they used to earn.

10:9. Verily, those who believe and do deeds of righteousness

( good work), their Rabb will guide them through their faith; Under them will flow rivers in the Gardens of delight.

[A’maal Saaleh = Actions that increase the individual and collective potential of a society = Helping people = Improving the environment = Fulfilling others’ needs = Contributing to the society]


10:10. Their saying  in it is : “Glory be to You, O Allah!” and their  greeting therein will be, “Salam”. And the last of their call will be: “All praise be to Allah, the Rabb of all the world.”

[And so shall be the peaceful Ideal Society on earth. They will realize that the good of one is the good of another, and understand how Praiseworthy the Giver of such blissful guidance is.]


10:11. And were Allah to hasten for mankind the evil as He hastens for them the good surely they would have been ruined. But We leave those who do not expect  their meeting with Us, in their transgression, wandering blindly.

[10:7.Surely those who do not believe that they are destined to meet us  and  are satisfied with the life of this world and feel secure therein and those who are heedless of Our verses(ayat).]


10:12.  And when harm touches a man, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side, or sitting or standing. But when We have removed his harm from him, he continues  as if he had never called upon Us for a harm that touched him! Thus it is made fair seeming to the extravagant what they used to do.

10:13. And indeed, We destroyed generations before you when they did wrong, while their Messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they were not such as to believe! Thus We recompense the people who are criminals.

10:14. Then We made you successors on the earth, so that We may see how you will do.

10:15.  And when Our clear Verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who do not hope for the meeting with Us say: “Bring us a Qur’an other than this, or change it.” Say: “It is not for me to change it of my own accord; I only follow what is revealed to me. Indeed! I fear, if I  disobey my Rabb,  I fear the retribution of an awesome Day."


10:16. Say: "If Allah had willed, I would not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you, for I  had remaind among you a whole life before this; will you not, then, use your sense".

[7:184. Do they not reflect Their companion is not  possession by Jinn in their . Allah is  a clear warner.]


10:17. So who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah or denies Allah's Ayat? Surely, the criminals will not be succeed!

10:18. And they serve (worship) besides other than Allah things that which do not harm them, and nor benefit them, and they say: “These are our intercessors with Allah.” Say: “Do you inform Allah of something Allah does not knows  in the heavens or on the earth?” Glorified to Allah and Allah is the most high, Exalted  above all that what they associate as with Him".

[39:3. Absolutely, to Allah is the true system. Those who set up allies besides Him: "We only serve them so that they may bring us closer to Allah." Allah will judge between them in what they dispute. Surely, Allah does not guide the one who is a liar, an ingrate]


10:19. All Mankind were but one community, then they differed. Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Rabb, it would have been judged between them concerning that over what they differ.

[2:30.Your Rabb announced His Plan to the angels, “I am about to place on earth a new creation that will have supremacy over it.” They exclaimed, “Will you place on it such creation as will cause disorder therein and shed blood!- Whereas we strive to manifest Your glory!

2:213. The people used to be one nation, then Allah sent the prophets as bearers of good news and warners, and He sent down with them the Book with the truth so that they may judge between the people in what they were disputing. But after receiving the clarity, the people disputed in it due to animosity between them. And Allah guided those who believed with His permission regarding what they disputed in of the truth. And Allah guides whoever He wishes to a straight path.

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.

11:118. Had your Rabb wished, He could have made all the people one nation, but they still would continue to disagree;

16:9. To Allah shall be the path, but some are mislead. If He wished, He could have guided you all.

76:2-3. We have created the human from a seed that is composite, We test him, so We made him hear and see.*

We have guided him to the path, either to be thankful or to reject.]


10: 20. And they say: “why was  a ayat not sent down to him from his Rabb?”So Say: “The Unseen is only for Allah, so wait; verily, I am with you among those who wait.”

10:21. And when We let mankind taste mercy after some adversity has touched them, behold! They take to plotting against Our verses! Say: "Allah is more swift in planning! "Indeed, Our messengers  record all of that which you plot.

10:22. He it is Who enables you to travel through land and sea, till when you are in the ships, and they sail with them with a favorable wind, and they are glad therein, then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from every place, and they think that they are surrounded with them. They call Allah sincerely  to Him Allah's system (deen)*

 “If You save us from this surely we will be of the thankful.”

10:23. But when Allah saves them, behold! They rebel (disobey Allah) in the earth wrongly. O mankind! Your rebellion is only against yourselves, the enjoyment of this worldly life, then (in the end) unto Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.

10:24. Only the example of the life of the world is like the water which We send down from the sky; so absorbs the plants of the earth from which men and cattle eat: until when takes earth its adornments and is beautified, and its people think that they have all the power over comes to it: Our command  by night or by day and We make it like a clean-mown harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday! Thus  We explain the verses in detail for the people who reflect.

[4:88. What is the matter with you that you are divided into two groups over the hypocrites, while Allah has regressed them for what they have earned? Do you want to guide those whom Allaj misguides? Whoever Allah causes to be misguided, you will never find for him a path.]


10:25. Allah calls to the Home of the Peace  and guides whom Allah wills to the straight path.

10:26. For those who do good is the best,and more. And   will not cover the faces dust and not  humiliation. . Those  are the companions of Paradise, they will abide therein forever.

10:27. And those who earned evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is it like, and will cover them humiliation. There will  be no one protect them from Allah. Their faces will be covered as it were with pieces from the darkness of the night. Those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein forever.

10:28. And the Day  We will gather them all together, then We will say to those who associate partners with Allah: “remain in your place, you and your partners.” Then we will separate them, and their partners will say: “It was not us that you used to worship.”

10:29. "So sufficient is Allah as a witness between us and you that we were  of your worship unaware."

[They worshiped their own desires and fantasies.*

*Such false deities as Prophets, angels, Sufis, saints, clergy, idols and the universal forces]


10:30. There will be put to trial every soul for what did it  earned before and they will be returned back to Allah, their rightful Supreme (Mawla) , and their invented false deities will lost from them.

[Maula = The True Master = Rabb Supreme. The extremely common practice of calling a religious leader as Maulana Our Master is a frank, deplorable form of Shirk associating others with Allah.

But the clergy take pride in it! Many verses in the Qur’an tell us that there is no Maulana but Allah.

It is amazing to note that the Muslim clergy write Maulana with their names, and with their own hands!* *9:51. Say: "Never can happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us. Allah is our (Mawlana)protector." And in Allah let the believers put their trust.]


10:31.  Say: “Who provides for you from the sky and the earth Or who controls hearing and sight And who brings out the living from the dead and brings out the dead from the living And who disposes of the affairs?” They will say: “Allah. " Say: "Then Will you not fear Allah"?.

10:32.  For that is Allah is your true Rabb.  And  what is there after truth except the error ? How are you turned away.

10:33.  Thus is proved Word of your Rabb: upon those who definitely  disobeyed(disobey that they will not believe.

10:34.  Say: "Is there one of your partners that originates the creation and then repeats it?  Say: "Allah originates the creation and then repeats it. So  you are then being misled ?(from the truth".

10:35.  Say: "Is there of your partners any who guides to the truth"?  Say: "Allah  guides to the truth. Is then He Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who  cannot  find the right way unless others guide him to it? Then, what is wrong with you How do you judge ".


10:36.  And most of them not follow except assumption. Indeed,  the assumption does not avail anything against the truth. Surely, Allah is All-Aware of what they do.


10:37.  And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allah but it is a confirmation of which was before it, and a detailed explanation of the Book -- wherein there is no doubt in it from the Rabb of the universe.

[While it confirms the surviving truth in the previous revelations, it is a Watcher over them and ignores and, where necessary, corrects the human touch in them.

 2:75. Did you expect that they would believe with you, when a group of them had heard the words of Allah then altered them knowingly after having understood?

2:78. And among them are Gentiles who do not know the Book EXCEPT BY HEARSAY, and they only conjecture.

2:101.  And when a messenger came to them from Allqh, authenticating what was with them, a group of those who had already received the Book placed the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know.

3:70. "O people of the Book, why do you reject the revelations of Allah while you are bearing witness?"

3:78. And from among them is a group who twist their tongues with the Book so that you may think it is from the Book, while it is not from the Book, and they say it is from Allah while it is not from Allah, and they say about Allah lies while they know.

3:186. We will test you in your wealth and in yourselves, and you will hear from those who have been given the Book from before you and from the polytheists much annoyance. And if you are patient and righteous, then that is from a strength of conviction.

5:13. So for their breaking (of) their covenant We cursed them and We made their hearts hard. They distort the words from their places, and forgot a part of what they were reminded of [it]. And not you will cease to discover of treachery from them except a few of them. But forgive them and overlook. Indeed, Allah loves the good-doers.

5:41.O Messenger! Not let grieve you those who hasten in (to) [the] disbelief - of those who said, "We believe" with their mouths and not believe their hearts, and from those who (are) Jews. They (are) listeners to falsehood, (and) listeners for people other, (who have) not come to you. They distort the words from after their context, saying, "If you are given this [so] take it but if not you are given it then beware." And (for) whom intends Allah his trial, then never will you have power for him against Allah anything. Those (are) the ones never intends Allah that He purifies their hearts. For them in the world (is) disgrace and for them in the Hereafter (is) a punishment great.

6:91.People do not value Allah as He must be valued when they say, "Allah has not revealed His Message to any human being." Ask them, “Who then revealed the scripture that Musa brought, a light and guidance for people? Although you put it down on parchment which you show, but you conceal a lot. You were taught what neither you, nor your ancestors knew before.” Say, “Allah (revealed it).” Then leave them to enjoy their vain talk.

9:31. They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their Rabb besides Allah, and the Messiah son of Maryam, while they were commanded to worship none but One Allah  none has the right to be worshiped but Allah. Glorified is Allah they from all that they ascribe to  Allah as partners.]


10:38.  Or do they say: “He(Messanger) has invented it” Say:  Then “Bring then one Surah like it, and call upon whomsoever you can besides Allah, if you are truthful!”.

[2:23.And if you are in doubt as to what We have sent down to Our servant, then bring a chapter like this, and call upon your witnesses other than Allah if you are truthful.

11:13. Or do they say, "He invented it!" Say, "Bring ten invented chapters like it, and call on whom you can besides Allah if you are truthful."

One chapter like this in beauty, eloquence and wisdom - And “besides Allah” would mean, without copying phrases and sentences from the Qur’an]


10:39.  Nay, they have denied  that which they encompass of its not in knowledge and whose interpretation has not yet come to them. Thus did those before them deny . Then see how was the end of the wrongdoers!.

[Ta'weel = Interpretation that can be implemented. Ta'weel is erroneously promoted by some as remote meanings of the Qur'an known only to a few select!]


10:40.  And of them are those who believe in it; And of them are those who do not believe in it. And  Rabb is All-Aware of the corrupters.


10:41.  And if they keep deny  you (O prophet), say: “ I have my deeds and you have your deeds! You are not accountable for what I am doing, and I am not accountable for whatever you do!”.

[109:1-6. SAY: "O you who deny the truth!

I do not worship what you worship.

Nor do you worship what I worship.

And I will never worship what you have ever worshiped.

"Nor will you ever worship what I worship.,

For you your way, and for me my way."]


10:42.  And among them are some who listen to you, but can you make the deaf to hear - even though they cannot understand.

[47:16. Some of them listen to you, until when they go out from you, they say to those who have been given the knowledge: "What did he say?" Those are the ones whom Allah has sealed upon their hearts, and they followed their desires.]


10:43.  And among them are some who look at you, but you can guide the blind - even though they do not see.

[7:198.  And if you call them to guidance, they do not hear. And you see them looking at you, yet they do not see.”]


10:44. Truly, Allah does  not do the least wrong the people; but it is the people who wrong themselves.

[7:179.And surely, We have created many of the Jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts but do not understand, and they have eyes but do not see , and they have ears do not hear (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; Those they are the headless ones.]


10:45.  And on the Day Allah will gather them together,as if they had not stayed  but an hour of the day. They will recognize each other between them. Losers indeed are those who disbelieved in meeting  Allah, and they have not been guided.

[10:7. Surely those who do not believe that they are destined to meet us  and  are satisfied with the life of this world and feel secure therein and those who are heedless of Our verses(ayat). ]


10:46.  Whether We show you some of that which we promise them , or We let you to die - then to Us is their return; and Allah is Witnesses everything they do.

10:47.  And for every nation(ummatin ) is a Messenger(Rasoolun); So when their Messenger comes, it will be judged between them in justice, and they will not be wronged.

10:48.  And they say: “When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?”

10:49.  Say(O Prophet): "I have no power for myself for any harm and any  profit except what Allah wills. For every Nation (Ommatin), there is a term;  when their term comes, they remaind  behind an hour,  nor can they go before (their time) ."

10:50.  Say: "Do you see, if Allah torment will come to you by night or by day, what portion of it would the criminals be impatient?".

10:51.  Is it then that when it had occurred you will believe in it? Now? And you used  to have hasten it on!".

10:52.  Then it will be said to those who wronged: “Taste you the everlasting torment! Are you recompensed for what you used to earn”.

10:53.  And they ask you to inform: “Is it true” Say: “Yes! By my Rabb! Indeed It is surely the truth! And you cannot escape it!”.

10:54. And if every person that wronged, whatever is on the earth, it would offer ransom, and they will feel in their hearts regret when they see the punishment, But will be judged between them in  justice , and  they will not be wronged.

10:55.  No doubt,Indeed, all that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. No doubt, Indeed, Allah's promise is true. But most of them do not know.

10:56.  Allah gives life and causes death, and to Allah you shall be brought Back.

10:57.  O mankind! There has come to you an instruction from your Rabb, and a healing what is in your breasts and  guidance and  mercy for the believers.

10:58.  Say: “In the bounty of Allah, and in Allah's mercy; therein let them rejoice.” "It is better than what they accumulate".

10:59.  Say: "Have you seen, what has been Allah sent down to you of provision! And you have made of it lawful and unlawful.?  Say: "Has Allah permitted  for you or do you invent a lie against Allah".

[7:32. Say: "Who has made unlawful the nice things that Allah has brought forth for His servants and the good things of  sustenance?" Say: "They are meant for those who believe during this worldly life, and they will be exclusive for them on the Day of Resurrection." It is such that We explain the revelations for those who make use of what they learn.

34:13. They made for him what he desired of enclosures, and images and pools of deep reservoirs, and heavy pots. "O family of Dawood, work to give thanks." Only a few of My servants are thankful.]


10:60.  And what those who invent a lie against Allah on the Day of Judgement?. Indeed Allah is surely full of bounty to the mankind, but most of them do not give thanks .

10:61.  And you are not engaged in any situation, nor do you recite from the Qur'an, nor do you  any deed, but We are Witness thereof when you are engaged it. And nor escape  fron your Rabb from the weight of a atom  on the earth and nor in the heaven. Nor smaller from that and nor greater but in a Clear Record.

10:62  Indeed !The friends (Awliya') of Allah there will be no fear, nor will  they grieve.

10:63.  Those who believed, and have guarded (against evil) (Taqwa).

*[Taqwa, 2:41. And grace yourselves with belief in what I have revealed now confirming in what you already have. Be not the first among those who will conceal the truth therein, and trade not My revelations for petty gains. Rather, be mindful of Me.]


10:64.  For them is good news, in the life of the present world, and in the Hereafter. No change can be in the Words of Allah. That is the Great success.

[And changeless are Allah's laws 6:115. The word of your Rabb has been completed with truth and justice; there is no changing His words.Allah is all Hearer and all Knower.

18:27. Recite what has been inspired to you from your Rabb's book, there is no changing Allah's words, and you will not find besides Allah any refuge.

33:38. The prophet is not committing an error by doing anything that is made lawful by Allah. Such is Allah's system since the early generations. Allah's command is a sacred duty.

 33:62. Such is the way of Allah with those who lived before. And never will find any change in Allah's way.

35:43. Their arrogance in the land and their evil schemes! Yet an evil scheme engulfs its designers. Are they waiting for anything but the way the ancients were dealt with? Yes! No change you will ever find in the laws of Allah, and no deviation you will ever find in the laws of Allah.

40:85.  But their acknowledgement could not help them once they saw Our might. Such is the way of Allah (sunnat Allahi) that has been established with Allah's servants. The ingrates were then totally in loss.

48:23. Such is the way of Allah with those who lived before, and you will not find any change in the way of Allah.

And you will never find even a slight turn in Allah's laws

17:77.  "If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for your own good, but if you commit evil you do so to your own detriment. Thus, when the second time comes to pass, they will defeat you and enter the masjid, just as they did the first time. They will wipe out all the gains you had accomplished.",]


10:65.  And let not  their speech grieve you. Indeed all honor is Allah's . Allah is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.

10:66.  Surely,  whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth belongs to Allah. As for those who call on partners besides Allah, they following nothing but assumption and  themselves they do nothing but they only guess.

10:67.   Allah is the one  Who made for you the night that you may rest there, and the day to make things visible . Verily, in this are verses for people who give heed.

10:68.  They say: “Allah has taken a son.” Glory be to Allah! Allah is self-sufficient and whatever is in the earth and whatever is in the heaven. You have no  authority for this. Do you say against Allah what you do not know.

10:69.  Say: “Indeed, those who invent a lie against Allah; they will not be succeed.”

10:70.  An enjoyment in this world! and then to Us will be their return, then We will make them taste the severest torment because they used to disbelieve.

10:71.  And recite to them the news of Nuh. When he said to his people: “O my people, if my station and my reminding the Verses of Allah is hard on you, then I put my trust in Allah. So devise your plot, you and your partners, and let not your plot be in confusion for you. Then pass your sentence on me and give me no respite. [Maqaami = My stand = My station = My location]

10:72. "But if you turn away, then no reward have I asked of you, my reward is only from Allah, and I have been commanded to be of those who submit (Muslimeen)."

10:73.  But They denied to him( Nuh), so We delivered him, and those with him in the ark, and We made them successors and drowned those who rejected Our verses. Then see what was the end of those who were warned.

10:74.  Then we sent after him Messengers to their people. They brought them with clear proofs, but they would not believe what they had already rejected beforehand. Thus We seal the hearts of the transgressors.

[Mu'tadeen = Those who cross limits = Cross all bounds = Given to excesses = Transgressors = Who go beyond reason]

10:75.  Then We sent after them Musa and Harun to Fir`awn and his chiefs with Our verses. But they behaved arrogantly and were a criminal people.

10:76.  So when came to them the truth from Us, they said: Indeed “This is  clear magic.”

10:77.  Musa said: “Do you say about this truth when it has come to you?. Is this magic?  But the magicians are not successful.”

10:78.  They said: “Have you come to us to turn us away from what we found  our fathers following, and so that you two may have greatness in the land?  We are not going to believe in  you !”

10:79.  And Fir`awn said: “Bring every skilled sorcerer to me.”

10:80.  And when the magicians came, Musa said to them: “Cast down what you have to cast!”

10:81.  Then when they had cast down, Musa said: “What you have brought is sorcery(alsihru), Allah will surely nullify it , Indeed Allah does not amend the work of the corrupters.

10:82. “And Allah will establish the truth by Allah's Words, even if dislike criminals.”

10:83.  But none believed in Musa except the offspring of his people, because of the fear of Fir`awn and their chiefs, lest they persecute them; And Indeed, Fir`awn was an tyrant in the land, and indeed  he was among those who commit excess.

10:84.  And Musa said: “O my people! If you have believed in Allah, then put your trust in Allah if you are submit (to Allah) (Muslimeen).”

10:85.  Then They said: “On Allah we put our trust. Our Rabb! Do not make us a trial for the wrongdoing peoples.

10:86. “And save us by Your mercy from the disbelieving people.”

10:87. And We inspired to Musa and his brother (saying): “Settle  your people in Egypt, and make your houses as places for your Qiblatan, and establish the Salat, and give glad tidings to the believers (mumeen).”

10:88.  And Musa said: “Our Rabb! You have indeed bestowed on Fir`awn and his chiefs splendor and wealth in the life of this world, our Rabb! That they may lead men astray from Your way. Our Rabb! Destroy on their wealth, and harden on their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment.”

10:89.  Allah said: “The prayer of The two of you is accepted. So you both keep to the straight way, and do not follow the path of those who do not know.”

[20:36. Allah said, “O Musa! All your requests are granted.

20:42. "Go, you and your brother with my verse, and do not slacken in My remembrance." ]

10:90.  And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Fir`awn with his hosts followed them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he (Fira`wn) said: “I believe that there there is no god except the one (Allah) in Whom believe the Children of Israel believe, and I am of those who submit (Muslimeen).”

10:91. Now (you believe) while you refused to believe before and you were  of the mischief-makers(corrupters).

10:92. So this day We will deliver your (dead) body that you may be a verse to those after you! And verily, many among the mankind are heedless of Our Verses.

10:93.  And indeed We settled the Children of Israel in an honorable settlement, and  provided them with good things, and they are not differed until the knowledge came to them. Verily, your Rabb will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning in that in which they used to differ.

10:94.  So if you are in doubt concerning  what We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Book before you. Verily, has come to you the truth from your Rabb. So do not be among the doubters.

10:95.  And you should not be of those who reject(deny)  the Verses of Allah, (for) then you will be one of the losers.

10:96. Truly, those, whom has become due on them the Word of your Rabb will not attent to believe.

[They have seen the benevolent transformation of the society so how else would they believe?

2:7.Allah has sealed their hearts and their ears, and over their vision are covers. And for them is a great punishment .

10:74.  Then we sent after him Messengers to their people. They brought them with clear proofs, but they would not believe what they had already rejected beforehand. Thus We seal the hearts of the transgressors.*and10:100]


10:97.  Even if  every verse should come to them, until they see the painful punishment.

10:98. Was there any town that believed, so it's faith benefited it except the people of Yunus?  When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in wordly life and granted them to enjoyment for a time.

[37:147-148. And We sent him back to his people, a hundred thousand, even more.*

*And this time they believed in him and so We let them enjoy this life]


10:99.  And if had your Rabb willed, those on earth would have believed, all of them together. Then, will you  force the people, until they become believers?.

[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.

76:4-6. We have prepared for the ingrates chains and collars and a blazing fire.

As for the pious, they will drink from a cup which has the scent of musk.

A spring from which the servants of Allah's drink, it gushes forth abundantly.]


10:100.  Not any person can believe except by following Allah's law of guidance and Allah will place confusion(Rijs) on those who will refuse to understand.

[6:126.  And this is the straight path of your Rabb. We have fully detailed the revelations for those who pay attention and take them to heart!.

10:39. Nay, they have denied  that which they encompass of its not in knowledge and whose interpretation has not yet come to them. Thus did those before them deny . Then see how was the end of the wrongdoers!.*

“Allah places”, “Allah does”, “Allah causes” = Allah's laws are so designed]


10:101.  Say: “Consider what is it that is in the heavens and the earth.” But verses and the warners will not avail a people who do not believe.

[2:6-7. As for those who reject, whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.

Allah has sealed their hearts and their ears, and over their vision are covers. And for them is a great punishment .

41:53.We will show them Our verses in the horizons, and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the truth. Is it not enough that your Rabb is witness over all things? ]


10:102.  Then do they wait except  like the days those who passed away before them?Say: “  Wait then, Indeed  I am with you  among those who wait.”

10:103.  Then We will save Our Messengers and those who believe! Thus it is an obligation upon us that we save the believers.

10:104.  Say: "O Mankind ! If you are in doubt of my deen - I do not serve those whom you serve besides Allah, rather, But I serve (deen) Allah the One Who cause you to die. And I am commanded that I should be of the believers.

[Deen:  The System that the Prophet is trying to establish. 

3:61.Whoever debates with you in this after the knowledge has come to you, then say: "Let us call our children and your children, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then, let us invoke and make the curse of Allah upon the liars."

7:71. He said: "A affliction and wrath shall befall you from your Rabb. Do you argue with me about names which you have invented - you and your forefathers have created with no authority being sent down by Allah? Wait then, Indeed I am with you of the ones who wait."

109:6.  For you your way, and for me my way."]


10:105.  And  that(I am commanded), “Direct your face  upright (Hanifan)to serve(deen) , and not be  of the polytheists (Mushrikin).”

10:106.  "And do not invoke besides Allah what will not benefit you and do not harm you. But if you did so, then indeed you will be one of the wrongdoers (zalimeen)."

10:107.  And if Allah afflicts you, there is no one remove of it except Allah. And if He intends good to you there is none to repeller of Allah's bounty. Allah causes it to reach whom Allah wills of Allah's slaves. And Allah is  Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

[Affliction, relief or bounty from Allah must draw our attention to Allah's laws]

10:108.  Say: "O Mankind! Verily has come to you the truth from your Rabb. So whoever is guided them only Allah is guided for his soul. And whoever goes astray, he does so at his own loss. And I am not over you as a guardian.

10:109.  And follow what is revealed to you, and be patient until Allah gives judgment. And Allah is the best of the judges.

SURAH TAUBAH 51 - 129

 QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)

In the Name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

9:51.Say: "Never can happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us. Allah is our (Mawlana)protector." And in Allah let the believers put their trust.

[Calling religious men as Maulana is a very common but dangerous practice involving Shirk]


9:52. Say: “Do you wait for us except one of the two best things; while we await for you that Allah will afflict you with a punishment from Himself or by our hands. So wait and we shall hopefully wait with you."

9:53. Say: "Spend willingly or unwillingly, it will not be accepted from you. You are e a definitely  disobedient people ."

9:54. And nothing prevents their contributions from being accepted from them except that they disbelieved in Allah and in Allah Messenger, and  they do not attend to the contact prayer (Salah) except while they are lazily, and they do not spend except   while they are unwillingly.

[2:8.And from the people are those who say: "We believe in Allah and in the Last Day," but they are not believers.

4:142.The hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, while He is deceiving them; and if they stand to make the contact prayer, they do so lazily, only to show the people; they do not remember Allah except very little.

107:5. Those who know not what their salat is meant to be

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.]


9:55. So do not be impressed by their wealth, or their children.Allah only intends to punish them with  in the  world life, so that  their lives will end while they are disbelievers.

[9:85.Do not also be impressed by their wealth and their children; Allah only wishes to punish them with it in this world, and their selves will vanish while they are ingrates.

The ‘dazzle’ of the world holds them back from striving. But people must strive and build Paradise with their own hands.

3:135.And those who, if they commit lewdness, or wrong themselves, they remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins. And who can forgive the sins except Allah? And they do not persist in what they have done while they know.

16:32. Those whom the controllers take, while they had been good, they will say, "Peace be upon you, enter paradise because of what you have done."

46:14. These are the dwellers of Paradise, abiding therein, a reward for what they used to do.]


*9:56. They swear by Allah that they belong with you. In fact they are not of you, but they are a people ridden by fear (that you may kill them).

9:57. If they find a refuge, or a cave, or any place to enter, they would go to it, rushing.

9:58. Some of them  criticize your distribution of the charities. If they are given thereof, they are pleased, but if they are not given anything thereof, They are consumed with anger!

9:59. Would that they were content with what Allah and Allah's Messenger gave them and had said: “Allah is sufficient for us. Allah will give us of Allah's bounty, and so will Allah',s Messenger. We turn to Allah with all our hope.”

[59:7.Whatever God provided to His messenger from the people of the townships, then it shall be to Allah and Allah's messenger; for the relatives, the orphans, the poor, and the wayfarer. Thus, it will not remain monopolized by the rich among you. You may take what the messenger gives you, but do not take what he withholds you from taking. Be aware of God, for God is mighty in retribution.

The Central Authority will be just to all]


9:60.As-Sadaqat  are only for the poor (Fuqara'), and (Al-Masakin) needy and those employed to collect them; and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined(towards islam); free the slaves;those in debt,in the cause of Allah and to the wayfarer. Such is Allah's commandment And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise.

[It is important to bear in mind an almost universal misconception among Muslim scholars and the masses about Sadaqaat alms and charity. They think that the above eight categories are Zakaat.

But Zakaat indicates the Just Economic Order where everyone in the society receives a decent provision.

The cornerstone of Zakaat is spending whatever is surplus

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.

6:141.And He is the One Who initiated gardens; both trellised and untrellised; and palm trees, and plants, all with different taste; and olives and pomegranates, similar and not similar. Eat from its fruit when it blossoms and give its due on the day of its harvest; and do not waste. He does not like the wasteful.

In other words, it means turning the extra income voluntarily to the Central Authority who, in turn, will establish a Welfare State where everyone works according to his capacity and is paid according to his needs.

The Central Authority can set up a mandatory percentage of income as taxes on its citizens.

The taxes will vary according to the needs of the time, be it 2.5%, 5% or more or less. *Verse 9:60 is talking about Sadaqaat alms and charity and not Zakaat.

Sadaqaat are meant to be only an interim arrangement applicable at any time until the Divinely Ordained System is established and the Just Economic Order is set up in the society]


9:61. And among them are men who hurt the Nabi and say: “He is  all ear (to every news).” Say: " what he listens to is best for you; he believes in Allah; has faith in the believers; and is a mercy to those of you who believe." But those who hurt the  Allah's Messenger will have a painful punishment.

9:62. They swear by Allah to you, in order to please you, while Allah and Allah's Messenger have more right that they pleasing. If they are believers.

9:63.  Do they not know that whoever opposes and shows hostility to Allah and His Messenger, certainly for him will be the fire of Hell to abide  therein. That is the extreme disgrace.

9:64. The hypocrites fear not chapter(Surah) should be revealed about them, showing them what is in their hearts. Say: "(Go ahead and) mock! For Allah will bring out what you fear."

[It was indeed revealed.

47:30. If We wished, We would show them to you so you would recognize them by their looks. However, you can recognize them by their speech. Allah is fully aware of your works.

The exalted Prophet came to know the hypocrites of his times]


9:65. And If you ask them (about this), they declare: “We were only talking idly and joking.” Say: "Is it at Allah, and Allah's Verses and Allah's Messenger (Rasool) that you were mocking".

9:66. Do not make excuse; you have disbelieved after  having believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others among you because they were criminals.

[4:17. Allah acceptance of repentance is only for those who commit sin out of ignorance and then repent soon after; these will be forgiven by Allah, Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise.

9:102. Others who have acknowledged their sins, they have mixed good work with bad. Perhaps Allah will pardon them. Allah is oft-Forgiving, Merciful.

25:70. Except for the one who repents and acknowledges and does good work, for those Allah will replace their sins with good; Allah is Forgiving, Most- Merciful.

27:11. "Except one who transgresses. But then if he replaces the evil deed with good, then I am Forgiving, Most-Merciful"].


9:67. The hypocrites, men and women, are one from another; They enjoin evil, and forbid  what is the right, and they close their hands. They  forget Allah, so Allah has forgotten them. Verily, the hypocrites are the disobedient.

[Allah forgetting them’ denotes that He is depriving them of His grace. Allah forgets nothing in the customary sense. Whoever forgets Allah, forgets himself and Allah's honored stature of being a servant of the Supreme Rabb. 

59:19.Do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. These are the disobedient.]


9:68. Allah has promised the hypocrites -- men and women -- and the disbelievers, fire of Hell; wherein they abide forever. It is sufficient for them. Allah has cursed them and  for them is lasting torment .

9:69. Like those before you: they were mightier than you in strength, and more abundant in wealth and children. So They enjoyed their portion and enjoyed your portion as those before you enjoyed their portion; And you indulge like the one who indulge in idle talk. Those worthless are their deeds in the world and  in the Hereafter. And it is they who are the losers.

9:70. Has not the story reached them of those before them -- The people of Nuh,`Ad, Thamud, the people of Ibrahim and the companions of Madyan and the cities that were overturned? The Messengers came to them with clear proofs. Then, it was not Allah who caused  them any wrong; they rather wronged themselves.

9:71. The believers, men and women, are allies of one another; they join right, forbid from the wrong,  they establish the Salah, give the Zakah, and obey Allah and His Messenger(Rasool). Those Allah will show Allah's mercy to them. Surely, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

[The believing men and women, working together, do not deliver empty lectures.

They enjoin virtue and forbid vice by personal example, knowing that the Qur’an is the Eternal Criterion of right and wrong.

2:185. The month of Ramadhan, in which the Qur'an was revealed; as a guide to the people and clarities from the guidance and the Criterion. Whoever of you witnesses the month, then let him fast it. And whoever is ill or traveling, then the same number from different days. Allah wants to bring you ease and not to bring you hardship; and so that you may complete the count, and magnify Allah for what He has guided you, that you may be thankful.

Good’ and ‘Evil’, ‘Right’ and ‘Wrong’ are not vague entities.

The Qur’an clearly defines them in 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.

 and many other verses.

In short, good is all that helps people and evil is all that hurts them]


9:72. Allah has promised the believers -- men and women, -- Gardens under which rivers will abide there forever in it, and magnificent mansions in the gardens of `Adn . And Allah's  approval is the greatest of all blessings. That is the supreme Triumph.

9:73. O Nabi ! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them,  and their abode is Hell, --  a miserable destination.

9:74.  They swear by Allah that they said nothing , but really they said the word of disbelief, and they disbelieved after accepting  submitted(Islam), and they resolved that which they were unable to carry out, and they could not find any cause to do so except that Allah and Allah's Messenger (rasool) had enriched them with His bounty. If then they repent, it will be better for them, but if they turn away; Allah will punish them with a painful torment in this worldly life and in the Hereafter. And there is none for them on earth as a protector or a helper.

9:75.  And among them are those who made a convenient with Allah : “If Allah  gives us out of Allah's bounty,  surely we will certainly  spend in charity (Sadaqah)  and will certainly become of the righteous.”

9:76. Then when Allah gave them of Allah's bounty, they became stingy with it  and turned away from their promise.

9:77. So Allah punished them with  hypocrisy in their hearts until the Day when they will meet Allah because they broke covenant with Allah what they had promise with Allah and because they lied.

9:78. Do they not know that Allah knows their secret consultations (Najwa), and that Allah is the All-Knower of all the unseen?.

9:79. Those who criticize the ones  who give willingly of the believers concerning  the charities, and those who could not find  except their effort available to them -- so they ridicule  them; Allah will throw back their redicule on them, and they will have a painful retribution.

9:80. Ask forgiveness for them  or do not ask forgiveness for them --  if ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never forgive them. That is because they have disbelieved in Allah and Allah's Messenger (Rasool). And Allah do not guide those people who are definitelydis obedient.

9:81. Those who were left behind rejoiced in their staying  away behind the Messenger of Allah; and they disliked to strive with their wealth and their lives in the way of Allah, and they said: “Do not go forth in the heat.” Say: "The fire of Hell is more intense in heat;" if only they could understand!

9:82.  So let them laugh a little and cry a lot as a recompense of what they used to earn.

9:83. If Allah returns you back to a group of them, and they ask your permission to go out , then say: “Never  shall you go forth with me nor fight an enemy  together with me! You were satisfied with sitting on the first occasion, then you sit  with those who stay behind.”

9:84.  And you not pray for any of them who dies, nor stand at his grave. They disbelieved in Allah and Allah's Messenger, and died while they were  disobedient(Fasiqun).

9:85.  Do not be impressed impress by their wealth and their children.  Allah only wants to punish them with these things in this world, and will  depart the soul while they are disbelievers.

[9:55. So do not be impressed by their wealth, or their children.Allah only intends to punish them with  in the  world life, so that  their lives will end while they are disbelievers.

Hoarding of wealth and taking pride in children, party and possessions cause people to ignore Divine laws in their daily lives, and thus, they become a tribulation for them.

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.

8:28. And know that your wealth and your children are  a test for you. And that with Allah  there is a greatest reward.

18:32. Give them the example of two men. We made for one of them two gardens of grapes, We surrounded them with palm trees, and We made between them a green field.

63:9. O you who acknowledge, do not be distracted by your money and your children from the remembrance of Allah. Those who do this, will be the losers.

68:14. Even though he possessed enough money and children.

57:20. Know that this worldly life is no more than play and amusement, and boasting among you, and an increase in wealth and children. It is like plants that are supplied by an abundant rain, which appear pleasing to those who do not appreciate. But then they dry up and turn yellow, and become useless hay. In the Hereafter there is severe retribution, and forgiveness from Allah and approval. This worldly life is no more than a deceiving enjoyment.]


9:86. And when  was revealed a Surah, enjoining them to believe in Allah and to strive  along with Allah's Messenger, those with wealth among them ask your leave to exempt them and say, “Leave us with those who will sit back (at home).”

9:87. They were satisfied to be with those who stay behind. Their hearts were sealed, so  they do not understand.

[that fear can only be overcome with action

2:277. Those who believe and do good works, and hold the salat, and contribute towards purification (zakat); they will have their recompense with their Rabb and there is no fear over them nor will they grieve.

6:48.We have sent the Messengers only to give good news and to warn. Those who attain belief, mend their ways and work for social equity fulfilling the needs of others, will have nothing to fear nor will they have any regrets.

6:81. He said, “Why should I fear what you set up besides Him, when you do not fear to set up besides, Allah,deities for which He has sent no authority and are utterly powerless.*Think, which of the two sides among us deserves peace and security?*Answer me if you have the answer.”].


9:88. But the Messenger and those who believed with him strove with their wealth and their lives. And these have deserved all the good things, and it is they who will be successful.

9:89.  Allah has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow. There shall they abide forever in it. That is the great success.

9:90. Many of the bedouins Arab and  came to you seeking permission to stay behind.  Those who lied to Allah and Allah's Messenger- they stay behind. Those who disbelieved from them will be inflicted with a painful punishment.

9:91.There is no blame on those who are weak or sick and the ones who have no means to offer, so long as they are sincere  to Allah and Allah's Messenger. There is no argument against the  good doers.

*And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.*

[48:17. There is no burden on the blind, nor is there any burden on the cripple, nor is there on the sick any burden. Whosoever obeys Allah and Allah's messenger, He will admit them into paradises with rivers flowing beneath; and whosoever turns away, He will punish him with a painful retribution.]


9:92. Nor is there any blame on those who came to you  be provided with mounts, when you said: “I do not  have any mounts for you,” they turned back, with their eyes flowing with the  tears of sorrow that they could not find anything to spend.

9:93. The blame is on those who ask your permission while they were rich. They are satisfied to be with those  who stay behind  and Allah  sealed is on their hearts so that they do not know.

9:94.They  will make excuses to you, when you have return to them. Say do not make excuses, we will never believe you. Allah has informed us about you and "Allah will see your deeds and Allah's Messenger.Then  you will be brought back to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, then Allah will inform you of what you used to do.”

9:95. They will swear by Allah to you  when you return to them, that you may turn away from them. So turn away from them. Surely, they are (Rijs) impure, and their destiny is Hell  as a recompense for what they used to earn.

[9:125. As for those who have a disease in their hearts, it only increased foulness to their foulness, and they died as ingrates.]


9:96. They swear to you that you may be pleased with them, but if you are pleased with them, indeed Allah is not pleased with the people who are (Fasiqin) definitely disobedient.

[9:23-24. O believers!  Do not Take as  your fathers and your brothers as befriend if they prefer disbelief to belief. And whoever take them befriend , then those they are the  wrongdoers.

Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your spouses, your relatives and wealth that you have gained, and the commerce you fear a decline in it, and the dwellings in which you delight in it are more beloved to you than Allah and Allah's Messenger , and fighting for Allah cause, then wait until Allah brings command to pass. Allah does not guide the evil-doers.]


9:97. The arabs are the worst in disbelief and hypocrisy, and more likely that they not know the limits of what  Allah has revealed to Allah's Messenger. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise.

9:98. And among these  arabs there are some who look upon what they spend as a loss and wait for you the turns of misfortune  upon them  will be the turn of the evil. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

9:99. And of the arabs there are some who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and look upon what they spend  as means of nearness with Allah, and a means of supporting  the Messenger. Indeed it is  a means of nearness for them. Allah will admit them to Allah's mercy. Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

9:100.  And the foremost among the emigrants (Muhajirin) and the helpers (Ansar) and those who followed them in righteousness(noble deeds). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Allah. Allah has prepared for them Gardens under which river flow; therein they will abide forever. That is the great truimph.

[Muhaajireen = Emigrants from Makkah. Ansaar = Those who hosted them in Madinah. Radhi-Allahu ’anhum wa radhu ‘Anh also translates as, “Allah is well-pleased with them and they are well-pleased with Him.”]


9:101. And among those around you of the bedouins(Al arabi) are hypocrites, and also from the people of Al-Madinah.

[They persist in the hypocrisy; You do not know them, We know them. We will punish them twice, then they will be returned to a great punishment.]


9:102. And others who have acknowledged their sins, they have mixed a righteous deeds(good work)  with another that was evil(bad). Perhaps Allah will turn to them in mercy. Surely, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[ Let the believers adopt the Divine Attributes in their human capacity.

2:103. And had they believed and been righteous, it would have brought them a recompense with Allah which is far better if only they knew!]


9:103. Take from their wealth  a charity to purify them and cause them to grow in purity and pray(wasali) for them; behold, thy prayer(salataka) will becomfort to them. Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

9:104. They do not know that it is Allah accepts repentance from Allah's servants and accepts the charities(Sadaqat), and that Allah alone is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.

9:105. And say "Do deeds! Allah will see your deed, and Allah's Messenger and the believers. And you will be brought back to the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen. Then Allah will inform you of what you used to do."

[7:7.We will tell to them with knowledge; We were not absent.]


9:106. And others are waiting for the Allah's Decree, whether Allah will t punish them or  Allah will forgive them. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

[Their matter is under investigation by the State. Divine laws are based on knowledge and wisdom.

 *9:118. Also upon the three who were left behind until the land, as vast as it is, became strained to them, and their very selves became strained; they thought there is no shelter from Allah except to Him. Then He pardoned them that they might repent. Allah is the Redeemer, the Compassionate.]


9:107. And those who take a Masjid by way of harm and disbelief and to division among the believers and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and Allah's Messenger before. And surely they will swear that their intention is nothing except the good. But Allah bears witness surely that they are liars.


9:108.  Do not stand therein. A Masjid foundation from the first day on the righteous (Taqwa) is more worthy that you stand therein . In it are men who love that  purify themselves. And Allah loves the ones who purify themselves.

[6:160. Whoever comes with a good deed, he will receive ten times its worth, and whoever comes with a sin, he will only be recompensed its like; they will not be wronged.]


9:109. Is it then he who laid the foundation of his building on righteous (Taqwa) to Allah and Allah's pleasure better, or one who  foundation of Allah's building on edge  of a cliff ready to crumble down, so that it crumbled to pieces with him into the Hellfire. And Allah does not  guide a people who displace who right with wrong.

9:110.  Not will cease their building which they built  a cause of doubt in their hearts except that are cut into pieces their hearts. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

[A building that divides believers will remain a source of unrest in the hearts of the sectarians until their hearts stop beating]


9:111. Indeed, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives  and their wealth because for  that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in the way of Allah', so they kill and are killed. It is a promise which in truth Allah has willed upon himself  in the Tawrah and the Injil and the Qur’an. And who is more truthful to his promise of Allah, then have good news of the deal which you have concluded. Ans that is the great success.

9:112.  Those who repent, who servers, who praise  who fast, who bow down, who prostrate themselves, who enjoin good and forbid evil, and who observe the limits of  Allah. And give glad tidings to the believers.

[3:104.And let there be a nation from among you who calls towards goodness, and orders kindness, and prohibits vice. And these are the successful ones.l

33:35. Surely, the peacefully surrendering men, and the peacefully surrendering women, the acknowledging men, and the acknowledging women, the obedient men, and the obedient women, the truthful men, and the truthful women, the patient men, and the patient women, the humble men, and the humble women, the charitable men, and the charitable women, the fasting men, and the fasting women, the men who guard their private parts, and the women who similarly guard, and the men who commemorate Allah frequently, and the commemorating women; Allah has prepared for them a forgiveness and a great recompense.*

66:5. It may be that he would divorce you, then his Rabb will substitute other wives in your place who are better than you; peacefully surrendering, acknowledging, devout, repentant, serving, active in their societies, responsive, and foremost ones.]


9:113. It is not  for the Prophet and those who believe that they ask Allah's forgiveness for the polytheists (Mushrikin), even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are  the companions of the Fire .

9:114. Ibrahim asked  forgiveness for his father  because of a promise that he had made to him (his fatherr). But when it became clear to  Ibrahim that his father was an enemy of Allah, he dissociated from him. Indeed, Ibrahim was Compassionate  forbearing.

[14:41. "Our Rabb, forgive me and my parents, and those who acknowledge on the day the reckoning is called."*

 19:47. He said, "Peace be upon you, I will ask forgiveness for you from my Rabb. Allah has been most kind to me." ]

9:115.  And Allah will never misead a people after Allah guided them until Allah makes clear to them what they should be aware. Allah is the All-Knower of everything.

9:116.  Indeed  Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, Allah gives life and Allah causes death. And besides Allah you have neither any protector nor any helper.

9:117. Allah has forgiven the Prophet, the Muhajirin and the Ansar who followed him in the hour of difficulties, after the hearts of a party of them had nearly deviated , but Allah accepted their repentance  them. Allah is Compassionate towards them  Most Merciful.

[Muhaajireen = Emigrants. Ansaar = Those who host and support them]


9:118.  And the three who were left behind, until for them the earth, vast as it is, became straitened to them and their souls became straitened for them, and they perceived that there is no fleeing from Allah, and no refuge but with Him . Then, Allah forgave them, that they may repent. Allah is the accepting of repentance, Most Merciful.

[ 9:106. And others are waiting for the Allah's Decree, whether Allah will t punish them or  Allah will forgive them. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

9:43. May Allah forgive you. Why did you grant them permission stay behind, before you could distinguish those who are truthful from the liars.

 According to the ever fallible history, the three who had stayed behind: Ka’b bin Maalik, Mararah bin Rabee’, Hilal bin Umayyah]


9:119.  O you who believe!  Be aware (Taqwa ) of Allah, and be with those who are truthful (in words and deeds).

9:120.  It was neither befitting for the people of Al-Madinah and the arabians of the neighborhood they remain behind after the Messenger of Allah  and nor to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they does not afflict them thirst and not fatigue and not hunger  in the way of Allah, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy, but it is written to their credit as a  righteous deeds . Allah  does not allow to be lost the reward of the  gooddoers.

[Muhsin = A benefactor of humanity = One who serves people = Whoever helps the creation = A doer of good. Anger during combat deters sound planning. Muhsin, in this sense, may refer to the one engaged in benign aggression self-defense as opposed to malignant aggression unjust war.]


9: 121. Neither do they spend any contribution -- small or great -- nor across a valley, but it is written to their credit that Allah may recompense them with the best of what they used to do.

9:122. And it is not  for the believers to go out  all together. Of  every group of believers let some of them come forth, that they may  obtain understanding in deen(the Quranic system of life), and that they may warn their people when they return to them, so that they may beware.

9:123. O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you; and know that Allah is with those who have righteous.

9:124. And whenever is revealed a Surah, some of them say: “Which one of you has  increased in faith”? As for those who believe, it has increased their faith, and they rejoice.

9:125. But as for those in their hearts is a disease, it increase them in foulness to their foulness. And they die while they are disbelievers(refusing to acknowledge the truth).

9:126. Do they not see that they are tired in every year  once or twice ?Yet still they do not  repent, nor do they take heed.

[Tested at your hands. 9:14. Fight them. Allah will punish them by your hands and  humiliate them and give you victory over them, and  heal the hearts of the believers ,].


9:127. And whenever is revealed a Surah, they look at one another (saying): “Does anyone see you” Then they turn away whenever. Allah has turned away their hearts because they are people that do not understand.

9:128.  There has come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grieves to him is what you suffer;  Allah is concerned over you  and to the believers is kind and merciful.

9:129.  But if they turn away, they say: “Allah is sufficient for me. There is no God except Allah , in Allah I put my trust and He is the Rabb of the Mighty Throne.”
