QURAN TAFSIR (QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)
4: 101. And when you strike in the land, there is no blame on you for shortening your prayers if you fear that those who disbelieve will tempt you. Unbelievers, they have been your clear enemy.
[2:3. Those who believe in the unseen and perform prayer and spend out of what We have provided them]
*4:102. And when you are among them and you establish the prayer for them, let a group of them stand with you and let them take their weapons. When they prostrate to you, let them be ۟ Behind you, and another group will come who have not prayed with you, so let them pray with you, and let them take their guards and weapons with you. Those who disbelieve wish that You ignore your weapons and your luggage, so they attack you in a single direction. And there is no blame on you if there is harm to you other than rain. Or are you willing to lay down your weapons and take heed? Indeed, Allah has prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.*
*4:103. So when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah, standing and sitting on your sides. Then when you are at ease, perform the prayer. ۚ Indeed, the blessing was prescribed for the believers and set in time.*
*[3:191. Those who remember Allah standing, sitting, and on their sides, and think about the creation of the heavens and the earth. Our Rabb, You have not created this. In vain, Glory be to You, so we will escape the torment of the Fire*
*‘Mauqoota’ = Times appointed by the Central Authority]*
*4:104. Do not show weakness in pursuing the enemy. If you are suffering, then they are suffering as you are suffering, and you are hoping from Allah what is not hoped for. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise*
*4:105. Indeed, We have sent down to you the Book with the truth, so that you may judge between people according to what Allah has shown you, and do not be an adversary to the traitors.*
*4:106. And ask forgiveness from Allah. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.*
*[4:81.And they say: obedience. So when they emerge from you, a group of them will disperse, other than what you say. And Allah writes down what they spend the night. So turn away from Be greedy and put your trust in Allah, and Allah is sufficient as a disposer of affairs. ]*
*4:107. And do not differ from those who circumcise themselves. Indeed, Allah does not love one who is treacherous and sinful.*
*4:108. They hide from the people, but they do not hide from Allah, and He is with them when they conceal what He does not approve of saying. And Allah is in charge of what they do. Surrounding.*
*4:109. These are you, whom you argued about in the life of this world. So who will Allah argue on their behalf on the Day of Resurrection, or who is there? And We are a guardian over them.*
*4:110. And whoever does evil or wrongs himself and then asks Allah for forgiveness will find Allah Forgiving and Merciful.*
*[The way to achieve Allah forgiveness protection from the detriment of violations is repentance returning to the right path, taking corrective action Islaah,and restoring human rights.*
*4:17. Repentance to Allah is only for those who do evil out of ignorance, and then return quickly to the right conduct. Allah blesses them with mercy.*
*And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise*
*11:114. And perform prayer at the ends of the day and at the end of the night. Indeed, good deeds remove misdeeds. This is a reminder for those who will remember.]*
*4:111. And whoever earns any sin, then he has brought it on himself. And Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise.*
*[He grants you knowledge and wisdom]*
*4: 112. And whoever does a mistake or sin, then blames it on an innocent person; he has incurred falsehood and a clear sin.*
*4:113. And had it not been for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, a group of them would have obsessed on misguiding you; they would not have misguided except themselves, nor would they harm you in anything. And Allah has sent down to you the Book and the wisdom, and He has taught you what you did not know. And the grace of Allah upon you is great.*
*[12:108. Say:"This is my way, I invite to Allah in full disclosure, myself and whoever follows me. And glory be to Allah; and I am not of the polytheists."]*
*4:114. There is no good in most of what they privately confer, except whoever orders a charity or kindness or reconciliation between the people. And whoever does this seeking the grace of Allah, We will give him a great recompense.*
*4:115. And whoever is hostile to the messenger after the guidance has been clarified to him, and he follows other than the path of the believers; We will grant him what he has sought and deliver him to Hell; what a miserable destination.*
*4:116. Allah does not forgive that partners be set up with Him, and He forgives other than that for whom He pleases. Whoever sets up partners with Allah has indeed strayed a far straying.*
*[4:48. Allah does not forgive that partners be set up with Him, and He forgives other than that for whom He pleases. Whoever sets up partners with God has indeed invented a great sin.*
*Associating idols or human ‘authorities with Allah in matters of obedience, subservience, worship and law-giving, is choosing parallel authorities*
*114:2. And while it was running with them in waves like mountains, Noah called to his son, who was in an isolated place: "My son, ride with us, and do not be with the rejecters!"*
*This is a folly that downgrades human ‘self’ to the extent that it bars it from rising to the higher levels of self-actualization*
*9:113. It is not for the prophet and those who believe that they should seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they are relatives, after it has been made clear to them that they are the dwellers of Hell.*
*And the ‘self’ then faces an Insurmountable Barrier to evolution in both lives.*
*22:51. Andthose who seek to obstruct Our revelations, those are the dwellers of Hell.*
79:39. Then Hell will be the abode.]*
*4:117 They are calling on females besides Him. Indeed, they are only calling on a persistent devil.*
*4:118. Allah has cursed him; and he said: "I will take from Your servants a sizeable portion."*
*[A great many people follow their own satans*
*45:23, Have you seen the one who took his desire as his Allah, and Allah led him astray, despite his knowledge, and He sealed his hearing and his heart, and He made a veil on his eyes? Who then can guide him after Allah ? Will you not remember?*
*and the clergy eats a portion from their wealth in the name of idols.*
*That is Satan’s share.*
*9:31.They have taken their Priests and Monks to be patrons besides Allah, and the Messiah, son of Mary, while they were only commanded to serve One Allah, there is no god except He, be He glorified against what they set up.*
*9:34. O you who believe, many of the Priests and Monks consume the money of the people in falsehood, and they repel from the path of Allah. And those who hoard gold and silver, and do not spend it in the cause of Allah, give them news of a painful retribution.*
*45:23. .Have you seen the one who took his desire as his Allah, and Allah led him astray, despite his knowledge, and He sealed his hearing and his heart, and He made a veil on his eyes? Who then can guide him after Allah ? Will you not remember?]*
*4:119. "And I will misguide them and make them desire, and I will command them, so that they will mark the ears of the livestock, and I will command them so they will make changes to the creation of Allah." Whoever takes the devil as a supporter other than Allah, then he has indeed lost a great loss.*
*[According to Satan’s promise, his representatives draw people away from the Qur’an and confound them with ritualism and superstitions such as magic, dreams, astrology, amulets, numerology, ghoul, exorcism, and vain beliefs. Marking cattle's ears, choosing red cows or black goats for specific sacrifices, are superstitions that the clergy propagates. They try to present the laws of Allah operative in the World of Creation in a distorted fashion. They assign miracles to living or dead "saints" ignoring the Law of Cause and Effect.*
*2:34.And We said to the angels: "Yield to Adam," so they yielded except for Satan, he refused and became arrogant, and became of the rejecters.*
*4:51. Did you not see those who were given a portion of the Book, they believe in sorcery and evil, and they say to those who rejected: "You are better guided than those who believed the path."*
*4:60.Did you not see those who claimed they believed in what was sent down to you and what was sent before you? They wanted to seek judgment using evil, while they were ordered to reject it. It is the devil who wants to lead them far astray.*
*7:11. And We created you, then We shaped you, then We said to the angels: "Yield to Adam;" so they yielded except for Satan, he was not of those who yielded.*
*15:30. Thus, all of the controllers fell prostrate to him,*
*17:62. He said: "Shall I show You this one whom You have preferred over me, that if You respite me until the Day of Resurrection, I will seize his progeny, except for a few."*
*18:50. And We said to the angels: "Yield to Adam." So they all yielded except for Satan. He was of the Jinn, he disobeyed the order of his Rabb. Will you take him and his progeny as allies besides Me, while they are your enemy? Miserable for the transgressors is the substitute!*
*20:116. And We said to the angels: "Yield to Adam." They all yielded except for Satan, he refused.*
*38:74. Except Satan; he turned arrogant, and became one of the rejecters. ]*
*4:120 He promises them and makes them desire, but what the devil promises them is only vanity.*
[Associating partners with Allah*
*4:51.Did you not see those who were given a portion of the Book, they believe in sorcery and evil, and they say to those who rejected: "You are better guided than those who believed the path."*
*4:60. Did you not see those who claimed they believed in what was sent down to you and what was sent before you? They wanted to seek judgment using evil, while they were ordered to reject it. It is the devil who wants to lead them far astray., and ignoring the Qur’an in favor of human dogmas, drag the ‘self’ down to subhuman levels. Satan’s deception: The agents of Satan create false hopes, dispensing Paradise and Hell, and vain desires such as the ‘seventy two’ heavenly beauties, dispensing Paradise and Hell etc]*
*4:121 For these, their abode shall be Hell, and they will find no escape from it.*
*4:122 As for those who believe and do good works, We will admit them to estates with rivers flowing beneath them, abiding therein eternally. The promise of Allah is truth; and who is more truthful in saying than Allah?*
*4:123 It will not be by what you desire, nor by what the people of the Book desire. Whoever works evil, he will be paid for it; and he will not find for himself besides Allah any supporter or victor.*
*['Amal Su = Any action that disrupts the lives of others.]*
*4:124 . And whoever works good, whether male or female, and is a believer, then these will be admitted to the Paradise, and they will not be wronged in the least.*
*[4:53.Or would they have a portion of the sovereignty? If so, then they would not give the people a speck.*
*35:13. He merges the night into the day, and He merges the day into the night. And He has commissioned the sun and the moon, each running for an appointed term. Such is Allah your Rabb; to Him is the sovereignty. And as for those whom you pray to besides Him, they do not possess even the shell of a seed.]*
*4:125. And who is better in the system than the one who submits himself to Allah, and he is a good doer, and he follows the creed of Ibrahim in monotheism? And Allah took Ibrahim as a friend.*
*4:126. And to Allah is what is in the heavens and the earth; and Allah is Encompassing all things.
*4:127. And they seek a ruling regarding the women, say: "Allah will give you a ruling regarding them and what is being recited to you in the Book regarding the orphans' mothers whom you wish to marry but have not given them what was decreed for them, and the oppressed from the children: That you stand for the orphans in equality." Whatever good you do, then Allah is aware of it.
*[You shall be especially kind to women who are widowed, orphaned, or left helpless for any reason.
*2:83. And We took the covenant of the Children of Israel: "You shall not serve except God, and do good to your parents, and regard the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, and say kind things to the people, and hold the contact prayer, and contribute towards purification." But then you turned away, except for a few of you; you were objecting.*
*2:215. They ask you what they should spend, say: "What you spend out of goodness should go to your family and the relatives and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer. And any good you do, Allah is fully aware of it."*
*2:240. And for those of you whose lives are terminated and they leave widows behind; a testimony to them that they may enjoy for one year without being made to vacate. If they leave then there is no sin upon you for what they do with themselves of goodness; and Allah is Noble, Wise.*
*4:3. And if you fear that you cannot be just to the orphans, then you may marry those who are agreeable to you of the women: two, and three, and four. But if you fear you will not be fair, then only one, or whom you maintain by your oaths. This is best that you do not face financial hardship.*
*8:41. And know that anything you profit, one-fifth shall go to Allah and the messenger, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the poor, and the wayfarer. You will do this if you believe in Allah and in what We revealed to Our servant on the Day of the Criterion, the day the two armies clashed; and Allah is capable of all things.]*
*4:128. And if a woman fears from her husband desertion or disregard, then there is no sin for them to reconcile between themselves; and reconciliation is good. And the souls are brought by need. And if you are kind and do right, then Allah is expert over what you do.*
*[Allah, the Cognizant shows you the best way.*
*2:228. And those divorced shall wait for three menstruation periods; and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs, if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands would then have just cause to return together, if they both wish to reconcile. And the obligations owed to them are to be fulfilled, as are the obligations owed by them. But the men will have a greater responsibility over them in this. And Allah is Noble, Wise.*
*4:3.And if you fear that you cannot be just to the orphans, then you may marry those who are agreeable to you of the women: two, and three, and four. But if you fear you will not be fair, then only one, or whom you maintain by your oaths. This is best that you do not face financial hardship.*
*4:19. O you who believe, it is not lawful for you to inherit from the women by force. And do not make difficulty for them so that you may take away some of what you have given them, unless they commit a clear lewdness. And live with them in kindness. If you dislike them, then perhaps you dislike something while Allah makes in it much good.*
*4:35. .And if you fear a permanent rift between them, then send a judge from his family and a judge from her family. If they want to reconcile, then Allah will bring them together. Allah is Knowledgeable, Expert.]*
*4:128,. And if a woman fears from her husband desertion or disregard, then there is no sin for them to reconcile between themselves; and reconciliation is good. And the souls are brought by need. And if you are kind and do right, then Allah is expert over what you do.
[33:49.O you who believe, if you marry the believing females, then divorce them before having intercourse with them, then there is no interim required of them. You shall compensate them, and let them go in an amicable manner.*
*58:1.Allah has heard the woman who has argued with you regarding her husband, and she complained to Allah. And Allah hears the argument between you. Allah is Hearer, Seer.*
*65:1. O prophet, if any of you have divorced the women, then they should be divorced while ensuring that their required interim is fulfilled, and keep count of the interim. You shall reverence Allah your Rabb, and do not evict them from their homes, nor should they leave, unless they commit an evident immorality. And these are the boundaries of Allah. And anyone who transgresses the boundaries of Allah has wronged his soul. You never know; perhaps Allah will make something come out of this. ]*
*4:129. And you will not be able to be fair regarding the women even if you make every effort; so do not sway too greatly and leave her as one hanging in a void. And if you reconcile and do right, then Allah is Forgiver, Merciful.*
*[Your effort is seen* *53:40.And his works will be shown.. and He is the Absolver of your imperfections]*
*4:130. And if they separate, then Allah will provide for each of them from His bounty. Allah is Vast, Wise.*
*4:131. And to Allah is what is in the heavens and the earth; and We have instructed those who were given the Book before you, and you, to be aware of Allah. And if you reject, then to Allah is all that is in the heavens and the earth; Allah is Rich, Praiseworthy.*
*4:132. And to Allah is all that is in the heavens and the earth; and Allah is enough as a Caretaker.*
*4:133. O you people, if He wills, He can make all of you cease to exist; then He will bring others in your place. Allah is most capable to do this.*
*4:134. Whoever seeks the reward of this world, then with Allah is the reward of this world and the Hereafter. Allah is Hearing, Watchful.*
*[Obedience to Allah commands ensures success in both worlds]*
*4:135. O you who believe, stand with justice as witnesses to Allah, even if against yourselves, or the parents or the relatives. Even if he be rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of them, so do not follow desire into being unjust. And if you twist or turn away, then Allah is Expert over what you do.*
*4:136. O you who believe; believe in Allah and His messenger, and the Book which was sent down to His messenger, and the Book which was sent before. And whoever rejects Allah, and His angels, and His Books, and His messengers, and the Last Day; then he has strayed a far straying.*
*[Note the believers being called to belief!*
*2:8.And from the people are those who say: "We believe in Allah and in the Last Day," but they are not believers.*
*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.*
*49:15. Believers are those who believe in Allah and His messenger, then they became without doubt, and they strive with their money and their lives in the cause of Allah. These are the truthful ones.*
*The wishful thinking of being Muslims or believers ‘by birth’ carries no weight in the Sight of Allah,*
*2:62. Surely those who believe; and those who are Jewish, and the Nazarenes, and the Sabians, whoever of them believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good works; they will have their recompense with their Rabb, and there is no fear upon them, nor will they grieve.*
*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.*
*and*
*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.*
*for ‘the previous scripture’. Belief to the point of Conviction can only be attained through reason and not as a birth right.*
*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.*
*5:48. And We have sent down to you the Book with the truth, authenticating what is between your hands 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, and a structure; and if Allah had willed, He would have made you all one nation, but He tests you with what He has given you; so strive to do good. To Allah you will return all of you, and He will inform you regarding that in which you dispute.*
*12:108. Say:"This is my way, I invite to Allah in full disclosure, myself and whoever follows me. And glory be to Allah; and I am not of the polytheists."*
*Angels = Allah forces in nature.*
*2:30. And your Rabb said to the angels: "I am placing a successor on the earth." They said: "Will You place in it he who would make corruption in it, and spill blood; while we praise by Your glory, and exalt to You?" He said: "I know what you do not know."]*
*4:137. Those who believed, then rejected, then believed, then rejected, then they increased in rejection; Allah was not to forgive them nor to guide them to the path.*
*[Forgiveness = Protection = Shielding against the ill effects of misdeeds.*
*Note that Allah has prescribed no worldly punishment for ‘apostasy’ since there is no compulsion in religion.*
*2:256. There is no compulsion in the system; the proper way has been clarified from the wrong way. Whoever rejects evil, and believes in Allah, indeed he has taken grasp of the strongest hold that will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.]*
*4:138 Give news to the hypocrites that they will have a painful retribution.*
*4:139. Those who take the rejecters as allies instead of the believers: "Do they seek glory with them?" All glory belongs to Allah.*
*[Honor and dignity can be attained only through Divine laws.*
*3:25. How shall it be when We gather them on the Day in which there is no doubt; and every soul shall receive what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.*
*35:10. Whoever is seeking dignity, then know that to Allah belongs all dignity. To Him ascend the good words, and the good deeds raise them up. And as for those who scheme evil, they will have a painful retribution, and their scheming will fail.*
*63:8. They say: "When we go back to the city, the noble therein will evict the lowly." But all nobility belongs to Allah and His messenger, and the believers. However, the hypocrites do not know.]*
*4:140. And it has been sent down to you in the Book, that if you hear the revelations of Allah being rejected and mocked, then do not sit with them until they move on to a different narrative; if not, then you are like them. Allah will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers in Hell all together.*
*[4:63.These are a people whom Allah knows what is in their hearts, so turn away from them and advise them, and say to them in their souls a clear saying.*
*6:68. And if you encounter those who make fun of Our revelations, then turn away from them until they move on to a different narrative; and if the devil makes you forget, then do not sit after remembering with the wicked people.]*
*4:141. Those who linger and observe you, if you have a victory from Allah they say: "Were we not with you?" And if the rejecters have success, they say: "Did we not side with you and deter the believers from you?" Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not grant the rejecters any success over the 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.*
*[2:69. They said: "Call upon your Rabb for us that He may clarify what color it is." He said: "He says it is a yellow heifer with a strong color, pleasing to those who see it."]*
*4:143. They are swaying in-between, neither with this group nor with that group. Whoever Allah will misguide, you will not find for him a way.*
*[Laws of guidance 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 Allah misguides? Whoever Allah causes to be misguided, you will never find for him a path.]*
*4:144. O you who believe, do not take the rejecters as allies instead of the believers. Do you want Allah to have a reason against you?*
*4:145. The hypocrites will be in the lowest pit of the Fire; and you will not find for them a victor.*
*4:146. Except those who repent, and amend, and hold fast to Allah, and are loyal in their system to Allah; then these will be with the believers. And Allah will give the believers a great recompense.*
*4:147. What would Allah want with your punishment if you were only thankful and believed? Allah is Thankful, Knowledgeable.*
*4:148. Allah does not love that any negative sayings be publicized, except if one is wronged. Allah is Hearer, Knowledgeable.*
*4:149. If you reveal what is good or hide it, or forgive what is bad, then Allah is Pardoner, Capable.*
*4:150 Those who rejected Allah and His messengers, and they want to make a separation between Allah and His messengers, and they say: "We believe in some and reject some!" And they desire to take a path in-between.*
*[The first part of the verse refers to those who believe in Allah as the Creator, but not as the Law-Giver*
*29:61.And if you ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the earth, and put the sun and the moon in motion?" They will say: "Allah." Why then did they deviate? ]*
