CHAPTER SURAH AL NISA 61- 100

 QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)*

4:61.  And if they are told: "Come to what Allah has sent down and to the messenger," you see the hypocrites turning away from you strongly.

*4:62. Why then, when disaster befalls them for what their hands have delivered, do they come to you swearing by Allah that they only wanted to do good and reconcile?*

*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.*

*4:64. We do not send a messenger except to be obeyed with the permission of Allah. And had they come to you when they had wronged themselves and sought the forgiveness of Allah, and the messenger sought forgiveness for them, they would have then found Allah to be Pardoning, Merciful.*

*[The Messengers were not sent with empty hypotheses, but to show people how to establish an equitable society in which people flourish individually and collectively. They attain personal development and become worthy of immortal life in the Paradise 89:29. "And enter in among My servants."*

*If anyone transgresses His laws, he or she must come to the Central Authority of the Divine System to make amends by restoring human rights.*

*Sitting back at home and praying in hiding would not help 9:102. And others who have acknowledged their sins, they have mixed a good work with another that was bad. Perhaps Allah will pardon them. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.* 

*20:82. And I am forgiving for whoever repents and does good works, then is guided.*

 *5:10. And those who reject and deny Our revelations, they are the dwellers of Hell.*

*The Messenger had inculcated such moral order in the hearts and in the society where one became the watcher over one's own ‘self’*

*8:74. And those who have believed and emigrated and strived in the cause of Allah, and those who have sheltered and supported, these are truly the believers. They will have a forgiveness and a generous provision.*

*9:100. And those who came early and quickly from among the emigrants and the supporters, and those who followed them in goodness; Allah has accepted them, and they have accepted Him; and He has prepared for them estates with rivers flowing beneath them, abiding therein eternally. Such is the great triumph.*

*48:29.Mohammed is the messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against the rejecters, but merciful between themselves. You see them kneeling and prostrating, they seek the blessings and approval of Allah. Their distinction is in their faces, as a result of prostrating. Such is their example in the Taurat. And their example in the Injeel is like a plant which shoots out and becomes strong and thick and it stands straight on its trunk, pleasing to the farmers. That He may enrage the rejecters with them. Allah promises those among them who believe and do good works a forgiveness and a great reward.*

*58:4.If he cannot find any, then he shall fast two consecutive months before any sexual contact between them. If he cannot, then he shall feed sixty poor people. That is so you would believe in Allah and His messenger. And these are the boundaries set by Allah. The disbelievers have incurred a painful retribution.*

*59:8. For the immigrants who are poor and were driven out of their homes and deprived of their properties; they were seeking a grace from Allah and acceptance, and they supported Allah and His messenger; these are the truthful ones.*

*There is plenty of room for making amends, and for mercy in the Divine System]*

*4:65. No, by your Rabb, they will not believe until they make you judge in what they dispute with each other, then they will not find in their souls any animosity for what you have decided, and they will comply completely.*

*4:66 And had We decreed for them: "Kill yourselves," or "Leave your land," they would not have done so except for a few of them. And if they had done what they were advised with, it would have been better for them and helped to strengthen them.*

*4:67. Then We would have given them from Us a great recompense.*

*4:68. And We would have guided them to a straight path.*

*4:69. And whoever obeys Allah and the messenger will be among those whom Allah has blessed from the prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the upright. What an excellent companionship!*

*4:70 That is the bounty from Allah; and Allah knows what is best.*

*4:71.  O you who believe, take your precaution by going out in clusters, or going out all together.*

*4:72.  And from among you are those who would slow behind, so that if disaster befalls you he would say: "Allah has blessed me that I was not a martyr with them!"*

*4:73. And if grace from Allah benefits you, he will speak as if there had not been affection between you and him: "Oh, I wish I had been with them so I would have triumphed a great triumph."*

*4:74.  Let those who seek to purchase the Hereafter rather than this world fight in the cause of Allah. And whoever fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or attains victory, then We will grant him a great recompense.*

*4:75.  And why do you not fight in the cause of Allah, when the weak among the men and women and children say: "Our Rabb, bring us out of this town whose people are wicked, and grant us from Yourself a supporter, and grant us from Yourself a victor!"*

*4:76. Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, while those who reject fight in the cause of evil; so fight the supporters of the devil, for the planning of the devil is weak.[Taaghoot = False gods = Tyrants = Oppressors = Deceptive clergy = Oppressive systems = Those who play god]*

*4:77. Did you not see those who were told: "Cease your aggression, and hold the contact prayer, and contribute towards purification." But when fighting was decreed for them, a group of them were concerned towards the people as they would have been concerned towards Allah or even more so. And they said: "Our  Rabb, why did You decree fighting for us? If only You would delay for us until another time." Say: "The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is far better for those who are aware; you will not be wronged in the least."*

*4:78. Wherever you may be, death will find you, even if you are in fortified towers. If any good befalls them, they say: "This is from Allah" and if any evil befalls them, they say: "This is from you!" Say: "All is from Allah;" what is wrong with these people, they barely understand any narrative!*

*4:79. Any good that befalls you is from Allah, and any evil that befalls you is from yourself. We have sent you as a messenger to the people and Allah is enough as a witness.*

*4:80. Whoever obeys the messenger has obeyed Allah and whoever turns away, We have not sent you as a guardian over them.

*4:81. And they say: "Obedience" but when they come out from being with you a group of them prepares for other that what you have said, and Allah records what they planned. So turn away from them and put your trust in Allah. Allah is enough for your trust.*

 *[6:106. Follow what is inspired to you from your Rabb; there is no Allah except He, and turn away from the polytheists. ]*

*4:82. Do they not reflect on the Qur'an? If it was from any other than Allah they would have found in it many a discrepancy.*

*4:83. And if any matter regarding security, or fear, comes to them they make it publicly known, but if they had referred it to the messenger and to those entrusted from them then it would have been known by those who studied it from them. And had it not been for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have followed the devil, except for a few.*

*4:84. So fight in the cause of Allah; you are not responsible except for yourself. And enjoin the believers: "Perhaps Allah will put a stop to the might of those who disbelieved." And Allah is far Mightier and far more Punishing.*

*[2:151. As We have sent a messenger to you from among yourselves to recite Our revelations to you, and purify you, and teach you the Book and the wisdom, and teach you what you did not know. ]*

*4:85. Whoever intercedes with a good intercession, he will have a reward of it; and whoever intercedes with an evil intercession, he will receive a share of it. And Allah has control over all things.*

*4:86. And if you are greeted with a greeting, then return an even better greeting or return the same. Allah is Reckoning over all things.Anyone who does good, do better for him.*

*[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.]*

*4:87. Allah, there is no Allah except He. He will gather you for the Day of Resurrection in which there is no doubt. Who is more truthful a narrative than Allah?*

*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.*

*[The law: Using the faculties of perception and reasoning, keeping an open mind - and freedom from prejudice, arrogance, and blind following will help people to recognize the truth. Freedom of religion:* 

*2:148. And to each is a direction that he will take, so you shall race towards good deeds. Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you all together. Allah is capable of all things.*

*2:193.And fight them so there is no more persecution, and so that the system is for Allah. If they cease, then there will be no aggression except against the wicked.*

*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.*

*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.*

*6:104. "Visible proofs have come to you from your Rabb; so whoever can see, does so for himself, and whoever is blinded, will be such. I am not a watcher over you."*

*6:107. And if Allaj had willed, they would not have set up partners. And We did not place you over them as a guardian, nor are you over them as a sponsor.*

*7:177.Miserable is the example of the people who denied Our revelations, and it was their souls that they had wronged.*

*10:99. And had your Rabb willed, all the people on the earth in their entirety would have believed. Would you force the people to make them believe?*

*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."*

*18:29. And say: "The truth is from your Lord, so let whoever desires believe, and whoever desires reject." We have prepared for the wicked a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them. And if they cry out, they are given a water like boiling oil which burns their faces. What a dreadful drink and what a miserable place!*

*22:39. Permission has been given to those who are being fought - for they have been wronged. And Allah is able to give them victory.*

*27:80. You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and flee.*

*39:41. We have sent down to you the Book for the people with the truth. Then, whoever is guided is guided for himself, and whoever goes astray goes astray to his own loss. And you are not a keeper over them.*

*56:79. None can grasp it except those purified.*

*73:19.This is a reminder, so let he who wishes take a path to his Rabb. ].*

*4:89. They hope that you will reject as they have rejected, then you will be the same. Do not take any of them as allies until they emigrate in the cause of Allah. If they turn away, then take them and kill them wherever you find them; and do not take from them any ally or supporter.*

*4:90.  Except for those who reach a people with whom you have a covenant, or if they come to you with a reluctance in their chests to fight you or to fight their own people. Had Allah willed He would have given them strength and they would have fought you. But if they retire from you, and do not fight you, and they offer you peace; then Allah does not make for you a path against them.*

*[Your prime duty remains the establishment and defense of the Divine Order in which there is no room for revenge.*

 *24:22. And let not those among you who have been blessed by abundance refuse to give to the relatives, and the needy, and those who have immigrated in the cause of Allah. Let them pardon and forgive. Would you not like Allah to forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.]*

*4:91. You will find others who want to be safe amongst you and safe amongst their own people. Every time they are returned to the test, they fall back in it. If they do not withdraw from you, offer you peace, and restrain their hands, then you shall take them and kill them where you encounter them. For these We have given you a clear authority.*

*4:92  And it is not for a believer to kill another believer except by accident. And whoever kills a believer by accident, then he shall free a believing slave, and give compensation to the family; except if they remit it. If he was from a people who are enemies to you, and he was a believer, then you shall free a believing slave. And if he was from a people with whom you have a covenant, then a compensation to his family, and free a believing slave. Whoever does not find, then the fasting of two months sequentially as a repentance from God; for God is Knowledgeable, Wise.*

*[‘Saum’ 2:183. O you who believe, fasting has been decreed for you as it was decreed for those before you, perhaps you may be righteous.*

*The State will help if the violator is old, sick or poor.*

*4:64.We do not send a messenger except to be obeyed with the permission of Allah. And had they come to you when they had wronged themselves and sought the forgiveness of Allah, and the messenger sought forgiveness for them, they would have then found Allah to be Pardoning, Merciful. ]*

*4:93.  And whoever kills a believer intentionally, then his recompense shall be Hell, abiding therein, and Allah will be angry with him, and curse him, and for him is prepared a great retribution.*

*[ (2:178. O you who believe, equivalence has been decreed for you in the case of those who are slain; the free for the free, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. Whoever is forgiven anything by his brother, then it is to be followed with kindness and goodness towards him; that is an alleviation from your Rabb, and a mercy. Whoever transgresses after that, he will have a painful retribution.*

*5:32-33. It is because of this that We have decreed for the Children of Israel: "Anyone who kills a person for other than murder, or corruption in the land; then it is as if he has killed all the people! And whoever spares a life, then it is as if he has given life to all the people." Our messengers had come to them with clarities, but many of them are, after this, still corrupting on the earth.*

*The recompense of those who fight Allah  and His messenger, and seek to make corruption in the land, is that they will be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from alternate sides or that they be banished from the land; that is a disgrace for them in this world and in the Hereafter they will have a great retribution.*

*Unjust killing of any human being, regardless of color, creed, religion or sex is a grievous offense that is tantamount to slaying the entire humankind*

*So, the offender shall be punished accordingly. Intentional murder of any human being is also a crime against the State, therefore, the State would be responsible for tracing, and bringing the offender to justice.*

*Qisaas = The duty of tracing an offender for just recompense]*

*4:94.  O you who believe, if you strike in the cause of Allah, you shall investigate carefully. And do not say to he who greets you with peace: "You are not a believer!" You are seeking the vanity of this world; but with Allah are many riches. That is how you were before, but Allah graced you, so investigate carefully. Allah is expert over what you do.*

*4:95. Not equal are those who stayed behind from the believers; except those disabled; with those who strived in the cause of Allah with their money and lives. Allah has preferred those who strive with their money and lives over those who stayed behind by a grade; and to both Allah has promised goodness; and Allah has preferred those who strived over those who stayed behind by a great reward.*

*4:96.  Grades from Him and forgiveness and a mercy. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.*

*4:97. Those whose lives are terminated by the angels, while they had wronged themselves; they said: "What situation were you in?" They said: "We were oppressed on the earth." They said: "Was the earth of Allah not wide enough that you could emigrate in it?" To these their abode will be Hell; what a miserable destiny!*

*4:98.  Except for those who were oppressed from the men, women, and children who could not devise a plan nor could be guided to a way.*

*4:99.  For these, perhaps Allah will pardon them. Allah is Pardoner, Forgiving.*

*4:100.  Whoever emigrates in the cause of Allah will find in the earth many spoils and a bounty. And whoever leaves his home emigrating to Allah and His messenger, then is overcome by death; his recompense has fallen to Allah, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.*

CHAPTER SURAH AL NISA 31 - 60

 QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)

SURAH AL NISA

4:31. If you avoid the major sins that you are prohibited against, then We will cancel your existing sins and admit you to a generous entrance.

4:32.  And do not envy that which Allah has graced some of you over others with. For the men is a portion of what they earned, and for the women is a portion of what they earned. And ask Allah from His grace; Allah is knowledgeable in all things..*

*[4:34.The men are to support the women with what Allah has bestowed upon them over one another and for what they spend of their money. The upright females are dutiful; keeping private the personal matters for what Allah keeps watch over. As for those females from whom you fear desertion, then you shall advise them, and abandon them in the bedchamber, and separate from them. If they respond to you, then do not seek a way over them; Allah is Most High, Great.*

 *28:77. "And seek with the provisions bestowed upon you by Allah the abode of the Hereafter, and do not forget your share in this world, and do good as Allah has done good to you. And do not seek corruption in the land. Allah does not love the corrupters."]*

*4:33. And for each We have made inheritors for what was left behind by the parents and the relatives. And those bound by your oaths, you shall give them their portion. Allah is witness over all things.*

*[4:11 -12. Allah directs you regarding the inheritance of your children: "To the male shall be as that given to two females. If they are women, more than two, then they will have two thirds of what is inherited. And if she is only one, then she will have one half. And to his parents, each one of them shall have one sixth of what is inherited, if he has a child. If he has no child and his parents are the heirs, then to his mother is one third; if he has siblings then to his mother is one sixth. All after a will is carried through or a debt. Your parents and your children, you do not know which are closer to you in benefit, a directive from Allah, for Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise."*

*And for you is half of what your wives leave behind if they have no child; but if they have a child then to you is one quarter of what they leave behind. All after a will is carried through or a debt. And to them is one quarter of what you leave behind if you have no child; but if you have a child then to them is one eighth of what you leave behind. All after a will is carried through or a debt.*

 *And if a man or a woman who is being inherited has no ascendants, but has a brother or a sister, then to each one of them is one sixth, but if they are more than this then they are to share in one third. All after a will is carried through or a debt, which does not cause harm. A directive from Allah, and Allah is Knowledgeable, Compassionate.*

*4:176.They seek a ruling from you, say: "Allah gives you the ruling for those who have no ascendants. If a person passes away and has no children but has a sister, then she shall receive half of what he leaves behind; and he will inherit from her if she has no child. However, if he has two sisters, then they will receive two thirds of what he left behind; and if he has siblings, men and women, then the male shall receive twice what the female receives." Allah makes clear to you that you do not stray; Allah is aware of all things. ]*

*4:34. The men are to support the women with what Allah has bestowed upon them over one another and for what they spend of their money. The upright females are dutiful; keeping private the personal matters for what Allah keeps watch over. As for those females from whom you fear desertion, then you shall advise them, and abandon them in the bedchamber, and separate from them. If they respond to you, then do not seek a way over them; Allah is Most High, Great.*

*[Qawwam= Protector = Maintainer = One who helps others to stand at their feet. Nushooz = Ill-treatment = Rebellion = To stand up against*

 *2:259.Or the one who passed through a town which had become ruins. He said: "How can Allah possibly revive this after it had died?" So Allah put him to death for one hundred years, then He resurrected him. He said: "How long have you stayed here?" He said: "I have stayed here a day or part of a day." He said: "No, you have stayed here for one hundred years! Look at your food and drink, they have not changed, but look at your donkey! And We will make you a sign for the people; and look at the bones how We expand them, then We cover them with flesh." So when it was clear to him what happened, he said: "I now know that Allah is capable of all things!"*

*58:11. O you who believe, if you are told to make room in the assemblies, then you shall make room. Allah will then make room for you. And if you are told to leave, then leave. Allah will raise those among you who believe, and those who acquire knowledge to higher ranks. Allah is fully aware of everything you do.*

*= To stand up against virtue = Mental abuse = Domestic violence = To rebel against the permanent moral values. Wa’az = Admonishment = To apprise of consequences.*

*2:231. And if you have divorced the women, and they have reached their required interim period, then either you remain together equitably, or part ways equitably. And do not reconcile with them so you can harm them out of animosity; whoever does so is doing wrong to his soul; and do not take the revelations of Allah as mockery. And remember the blessings of Allah upon you, and what was sent down to you of the Book and the wisdom, He warns you with it. And be aware of Allah and know that Allah is knowledgeable of all things.*

*3:66. Here you have debated in what you knew; so why then do you debate in what you do not know? And Allah knows while you do not know.*

*‘Dharb’ = Example 13:17. He sends down water from the sky, so valleys flow according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. And from what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods is produced a similar foam. It is in such a manner that Allah strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away, and as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that Allah puts forth the examples.*

*16:74. So do not give examples to Allah. Allah knows while you do not know.*

*36:13. And put forth for them the example of the people of the town, when the messengers came to it. = To stop or prevent. 8:11. Sleep overcame you to give you tranquility from Him; and He sent down to you water from the sky to cleanse you with it and cause the affliction of the devil to leave you; and so that He may strengthen your hearts and set firm your feet. , 43:5. Shall We turn away the Reminder from you, because you are a transgressing people? = Travel = Referring to arbiters = To give examples*

*4:34. The men are to support the women with what Allah has bestowed upon them over one another and for what they spend of their money. The upright females are dutiful; keeping private the personal matters for what Allah keeps watch over. As for those females from whom you fear desertion, then you shall advise them, and abandon them in the bedchamber, and separate from them. If they respond to you, then do not seek a way over them; Allah is Most High, Great.*

*13:17. He sends down water from the sky, so valleys flow according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. And from what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods is produced a similar foam. It is in such a manner that Allah strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away, and as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that Allah puts forth the examples.*

*16:74. So do not give examples to Allah. Allah knows while you do not know.*

*36:13. And put forth for them the example of the people of the town, when the messengers came to it.*

 *43:58. And they said: "Our gods are better or is he?" They only put this forth to argue with you. Indeed, they are a quarrelsome people.= To withdraw. 43:5. Shall We turn away the Reminder from you, because you are a transgressing people?]*

*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.*

*[2:228-234. 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.*

*The divorce is allowed twice. So, either they remain together equitably, or they part ways with goodness. And it is not lawful for you to take back anything you have given them unless you fear that they will not uphold the boundaries of Allah. So if you fear that they will not uphold the boundaries of Allah, then there is no sin upon them for what is given back. These are the boundaries of Allah so do not transgress them. And whoever shall transgress the boundaries of Allah, then these are the wicked.*

*So if he divorces her again, then she will not be lawful for him until after she has married a different husband; if he divorces her; then there is no sin that they come back together if they think they will uphold the boundaries of Allah. These are the boundaries of Allah, He clarifies them for a people who know.*

*And if you have divorced the women, and they have reached their required interim period, then either you remain together equitably, or part ways equitably. And do not reconcile with them so you can harm them out of animosity;* *whoever does so is doing wrong to his soul; and do not take the revelations of Allah as mockery. And remember the blessings of Allah upon you, and what was sent down to you of the Book and the wisdom, He warns you with it. And be aware of Allah and know that Allah is knowledgeable of all things.*

*And if you divorce the women, and they reach their required interim period, then do not make difficulty for them if they wish to remarry their husbands if they have amicably agreed among themselves out of what is best. This is to remind any of you who believe in Allah and the Last Day, this is better for you and purer; and Allah knows while you do not know.*

*And the divorced mothers are allowed to suckle their children two full years, if they wish to complete the suckling. And the man for whom the child is born is responsible for both their provisions and clothing equitably. A soul is not burdened except with what it can bear. No mother shall be harmed because of her child, nor shall a father be harmed because of his child. And for the guardian is the same requirement. So if they wish to separate out of mutual agreement and counsel, then there is no sin upon them. And if you want to hire nursing mothers, then there is no sin upon you if you return what you have been given equitably. And be aware of Allah, and know that Allah is watching over what you do.*

*And for those of you whose lives are terminated and they leave widows behind, then their widows will have a required interim period of four months and ten. So when they reach their required interim, then there is no sin upon you for what they do with themselves in goodness. And Allah is Expert to what you do.*

*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. God 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.*

*65:1-4.  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.*

*Then, once the interim is fulfilled, either you remain together equitably, or part ways equitably and have it witnessed by two just people from among you;and give the testimony for Allah. This is to enlighten those who believe in Allah and the Last Day. And whoever reverences Allah, He will create a solution for him.*

*And He will provide for him whence he never expected. Anyone who puts his trust in Allah, then He suffices him. The commands of Allah will be done. Allah has decreed for everything its fate.*

*As for those who have reached menopause from your women, if you have any doubts, their interim shall be three months - as well as for those who did not menstruate. And those who are already pregnant, their interim is until they give birth. And anyone who reverences Allah, He makes his matters easy for him.]*

*4:36 And serve Allah and do not set up anything with Him, and do good to the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, and the neighbor who is a relative, and the neighbor nearby, and the friend nearby, and the wayfarer, and those maintained by your oaths. Allah does not love the arrogant, the boastful.*

*4:37.  Those who are stingy and order the people to stinginess, and they conceal what Allah has given them from His bounty. And We have prepared for the rejecters a humiliating retribution.*

*4:38.  And those who spend their money to show off to the people, and they do not believe in Allah or the Last Day. And whoever has the devil as his associate, then what a miserable associate!*

*4:39.  What would bother them if they believed in Allah and the Last Day and spent from the provisions of Allah? Allah is aware of them.*

*4:40 Indeed, Allah does not wrong the weight of an atom; and if it is good He will double it. And He grants from Himself a great recompense.*

*4: 41. How is it then when We bring forth from every nation a witness, and bring you as a witness over these?*

*[2:143. And as such, We have made you a balanced nation so that you may be witness over the people, and that the messenger may be witness over you. And We did not make the focal point that you became on except to distinguish who follows the messenger from those who will turn on their heels. It was a great thing indeed except for those whom Allah had guided; Allah was not to waste your belief. Allah is Merciful and Compassionate over the people.]*

*4:42. On that Day those who rejected and disobeyed the messenger will wish that the earth would swallow them; but they cannot hide any narrative from Allah.*

*4:43. O you who believe, do not come near the contact prayer while you are intoxicated, until you know what you are saying. Nor if you have had intercourse, unless traveling, until you bathe. And if you are ill, or traveling, or one of you has excreted feces, or you had sexual contact with the women, and could not find water, then you shall select from the clean soil; you shall wipe your faces and hands. Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.*

*4:44.  Did you not see those who have been given a portion of the Book? They purchased straying, and they want you to stray from the path.*

*4:45.  And Allah is fully aware of your enemies; and Allah is enough as a supporter, and God is enough as a victor.*

*4:46. From among those who are Jewish are some who take the words out of context, and they say: "We hear and disobey, and listen but let not any listen, and shepherd us," in a twisting of their tongues and as a mockery of the system! And had they said: "We hear and obey, and listen, and watch over us," it would have been better for them and more upright; but Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, they do not believe except very little.*

*4:47.  O you who have received the Book, believe in what We have sent down authenticating what is with you, before We cast down faces and turn them on their backs or curse them as the people of the Sabbath were cursed. And the will of Allah is always done.*

*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 Allah has indeed invented a great sin.*

*[Ithm= A dragging violation. Shirk = Ascribing divinity to other than Allah, associating partners to Him. Included in this category of committing Shirk are those who worship their own desires.*

*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?, those who indulge in human worship and in sectarianism.*

*30:31. Turn to Him, and be aware of Him, and hold the contact prayer, and do not be of the polytheists.*,

*42:21. Or do they have partners who decree for them a system which has not been authorized by Allah? And if it were not for the word already given, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, the transgressors will have a painful retribution.*

*, those who follow manmade books in lieu of the Book of Allah*

*6:122. Is he who was dead and to whom We gave life, and We made for him a light to walk with among the people, as he whose example is in darkness and he will not exit from it? It is such that the work of the rejecters has been adorned for them.*,

*6:137.And it was adorned for the polytheists, by their partners, to kill their children in order to turn them and to confound their system for them. Had Allah willed they would not have done this, so ignore them and what they invent. , and those who claim or believe in revelation after the Qur’an, in any form, including claims of attaining Divine knowledge through mystical experience* *6:62. Then they are returned to God, their true Patron; to Him is the judgment and He is the swiftest of reckoners., 7:173. Nor can you say: "It was our fathers who set up partners before and we were simply a progeny who came after them. Would You destroy us for what the innovators did?",*

*7:191. Do they set up those who do not create anything, while they are created?*

*And those who uphold Trinity.*

*4:171. O people of the Book, do not overstep in your system, nor say about Allah except the truth. Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah and the fulfillment of His word to Mary and a Spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say: "Trinity." Cease, for it is better for you. Allah is only One Allah, be He glorified that He should have a son! To Him is all that is in the heavens and the earth; and Allah is enough as a Caretaker.,* 

*5:72. Rejecters indeed are those who have said: "Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryium." And the Messiah said: "O Children of Israel, serve Allah, my Rabb and your Rabb. Whoever sets up partners with Allah, then Allah will restrict the Paradise from him, and his destiny will be the Fire; and the wicked will have no supporters." , those who claim that Allah has a son, and those who follow their religious leaders*

*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 Allah except He, be He glorified against what they set up.*

*Such people fall from the high station of humanity. Worshiping any entity other than Allah, sinks the human ‘self’ down to subhuman levels.*

 *22:31. Monotheists to Allah, not setting up anything with Him. And whoever sets up partners with Allah, then it is as if he has fallen from the sky and the birds snatch him or the wind takes him to a place far off.*

*But even most of those who claim belief and call themselves Muslims, indulge in Shirk.*

*[12:106. And most of them will not believe in Allah except while setting up partners.]*

*And most of them will not believe in Allah except while setting up partners.]*

*4: 49. Did you not see those who ascribe purity to themselves? No, it is Allah who purifies whom He wills, and they will not be wronged in the least. [2:177. Piety is not to turn your faces towards the east and the west, but pious is one who believes in God 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., 13:17. He sends down water from the sky, so valleys flow according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. And from what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods is produced a similar foam. It is in such a manner that Allah strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away, and as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that Allah puts forth the examples.]*

*4: 50. See, how the claimants to spiritual purity deceive people by inventing lies against Allah. That is sufficient to flagrantly drag them down in humanity.*

*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."*

*[TAAGHOOT = Any forces claiming or believed to have Divine powers = Evil humans who try to play god with their tyranny = Satan = Those who exploit people as religious leaders = Priests and Monks = Mullahs and Sufis of any religion]*

*4:52. These are the ones whom Allah has cursed, and whoever Allah curses, you will not find for him a victor.*

*4:53.  Or would they have a portion of the sovereignty? If so, then they would not give the people a speck.*

*[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.*

*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.]*

*4:54. Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His bounty? We have given the descendants of Abraham the Book and the wisdom; We have given them a great kingship.*

*4:55. Some of them believed in it, and some of them turned away from it. In Hell will be enough flames.*

*4:56. Those who have rejected Our revelations, We will admit them to a Fire. Every time their skins are cooked, We replace them with other skins that they may taste the retribution. Allah is Noble, Wise.*

*4:57. And those who believe and do good, We will admit them to estates with rivers flowing beneath them; abiding therein eternally, in it they will have pure mates, and We will admit them to a vast shade.*

*4:58. Allah orders you to deliver anything you have been entrusted with to its owners. And if you judge between the people, then you shall judge with justice. It is always the best that Allah prescribes for you. Allah is Hearer, Seer.*

*4:59. O you who believe, obey Allah and obey the messenger(Quran)  and those in authority(teaching according to the quran) among you. But if you dispute in any matter, then you shall refer it to Allah and His messenger if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for knowing.*

*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.

CHAPTER SURAH AL NISA 1 - 30

QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)

In the name of Allah, the Almighty, the Merciful*

4:1.  O people, be aware of your Rabb who has created you from one person and He created from it its mate and sent forth from it many men and many women; and be aware of Allah whom you ask about, and the relatives. Allah is Watcher over you.*

*[10:19. The people were but one nation, then they differed. And had it not been for a previous command from your Rabb, the matter would have been immediately judged between them for what they differed.*

*57:25. We have sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the balance, so that the people may uphold justice. And We sent down the iron, wherein there is great strength, and many benefits for the people. So that Allah would distinguish those who would support Him and His messengers in the unseen. Allah is Powerful, Noble.]*

*[Nisaa means women in the society unless the description involves husbands, when it would mean wives. Azwaaj means spouses, Zaujah is wife and Zaujmeans husband. Zauj also refers to either of the spouses - a companion for life. The context will define the exact connotation of these terms on each occasion.]*

*[9:111. Allah  has purchased from the believers their very lives and their wealth, that they will have the Paradise; they fight in the cause of Allah so they kill and are killed; a promise that is true upon Him in the Taurat and the Injeel and the Qur'an. And whoever fulfills this pledge with Allah, then have good news of the pledge which you are concluded with. Such is the great triumph.*

*16:71. And Allah has preferred some of you over others in provision. Yet, those who have been preferred will not relinquish their provision to those who are maintained by their oaths, that they may become equal in it. Is it the favor of Allah that they deny?*

*43:32. Is it they who assign the mercy of your Rabb? We have assigned their share in this worldly life, and We raised some of them above others in ranks, so that they would take one another in service. The mercy from your Rabb is far better than that which they amass.*

*59:9. And those who provided them with shelter, and were believers before them; they love those who immigrated to them, and they find no hesitation in their hearts in helping them, and they readily give them priority over themselves, even when they themselves need what they give away. Indeed, those who overcome their desires are the successful ones.]*

*4:2 And give the orphans their money, and do not replace the good with the bad, and do not consume their money with your money; for truly this is a great sin!*

*[33:5. Name them by their fathers. That is more just with Allah. But if you do not know their fathers, then, name them as your brothers in the system and your patrons. There is no sin upon you for what mistake you make in this respect; but you will be responsible for what your hearts deliberately intend. Allah is Forgiver, Merciful. ]*

*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.* 

*[4:127. 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.*

*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.]*

*4:4.  And give the women their dues willingly, and if they remit any of it to you of their own will, then you may take it with good feelings.*

*4:5.  And do not give the immature ones your money for which Allah has made you overseers, and spend on them from it and clothe them, and speak to them in goodness.*

*4:6. And test the orphans when they reach puberty, then, if you have determined from them comprehension, then give them their money, and do not deliberately consume it wastefully or quickly before they grow up. And whoever is rich, then let him not claim anything, and if he is poor then let him consume in kindness. If you give to them their money, then make a witness for them, and Allah is enough for Reckoning.*

*4:7.  For the men is a portion from what the parents and the relatives left behind, and for the women is a portion from what the parents and relatives left behind, be it little or much; a forced portion.*

*[4:12. And for you is half of what your wives leave behind if they have no child; but if they have a child then to you is one quarter of what they leave behind. All after a will is carried through or a debt. And to them is one quarter of what you leave behind if you have no child; but if you have a child then to them is one eighth of what you leave behind. All after a will is carried through or a debt. And if a man or a woman who is being inherited has no ascendants, but has a brother or a sister, then to each one of them is one sixth, but if they are more than this then they are to share in one third. All after a will is carried through or a debt, which does not cause harm. A directive from Allah, and Allah is Knowledgeable, Compassionate.]*

*4:8.  And if the distribution is attended by the relatives and the orphans and the needy, then you shall give them part of it and say to them a kind saying.*

*4:9.  And let them be concerned, that if it was they who had left behind them a weak progeny, would they not fear for them? Let them reverence Allah and let them say what is appropriate.*

*[33:70. O you who believe, be aware of Allah and speak only the truth]*

*4:10.  Those who consume the money of the orphans illicitly, in fact they are consuming fire in their bellies, and they will endure the Blaze.*

*4:11. Allah directs you regarding the inheritance of your children: "To the male shall be as that given to two females. If they are women, more than two, then they will have two thirds of what is inherited. And if she is only one, then she will have one half. And to his parents, each one of them shall have one sixth of what is inherited, if he has a child. If he has no child and his parents are the heirs, then to his mother is one third; if he has siblings then to his mother is one sixth. All after a will is carried through or a debt. Your parents and your children, you do not know which are closer to you in benefit, a directive from Allah, for Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise."*

*4:12.  And for you is half of what your wives leave behind if they have no child; but if they have a child then to you is one quarter of what they leave behind. All after a will is carried through or a debt. And to them is one quarter of what you leave behind if you have no child; but if you have a child then to them is one eighth of what you leave behind. All after a will is carried through or a debt. And if a man or a woman who is being inherited has no ascendants, but has a brother or a sister, then to each one of them is one sixth, but if they are more than this then they are to share in one third. All after a will is carried through or a debt, which does not cause harm. A directive from Allah, and Allah s Knowledgeable, Compassionate.*

*[2:219. They ask you about alcohol and gambling. Say: "In them is great harm, and a benefit for the people; but their harm is greater than their benefit." And they ask you how much they are to give, say: "The excess." It is thus that Allah clarifies for you the revelations that you may think.*

*2:180. It is decreed for you that if death should come to any of you, that it is best if he leaves a will for his family and relatives out of goodness; this is a truth for the righteous.*

*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.*

*4:8. And if the distribution is attended by the relatives and the orphans and the needy, then you shall give them part of it and say to them a kind saying.*

*For a deceased who has no ascendants or descendants,*

*4:176. They seek a ruling from you, say: "Allahgives you the ruling for those who have no ascendants. If a person passes away and has no children but has a sister, then she shall receive half of what he leaves behind; and he will inherit from her if she has no child. However, if he has two sisters, then they will receive two thirds of what he left behind; and if he has siblings, men and women, then the male shall receive twice what the female receives." Allah makes clear to you that you do not stray; Allah is aware of all things.]*

*4:13. These are the boundaries of Allah, and whoever obeys Allah and His messenger, He will admit him to estates with rivers flowing beneath them, abiding therein. This is the great triumph.*

*4:14. And whoever disobeys Allah and His messenger, and transgresses His boundaries, He will admit him to a Fire, abiding therein, and he will have a humiliating retribution.*

4:15.  And those of your women who commit lewdness, you shall bring four witnesses over them from among you; if they bear witness, then you shall restrict them in the homes until death terminates their lives, or Allah makes for them a way out.*

*[Maut,literally death,has been translated as indefinite period in agreement with Jurjani and Raghib. Protection of life, honor and property is the springboard of a vibrant social order. It is the pre-requisite for freedom, equality and character building to the point of self-actualization*

*4:24. And the independent from the women, except those maintained by your oaths; the book of Allah over you; and permitted for you is what is beyond this, if you are seeking with your money to be independent, not for illicit sex. As for those whom you have already had joy with, then you shall give them their dowries as an obligation. There is no sin upon you for what you agree on after the obligation. Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise.*

*5:32. It is because of this that We have decreed for the Children of Israel: "Anyone who kills a person for other than murder, or corruption in the land; then it is as if he has killed all the people! And whoever spares a life, then it is as if he has given life to all the people." Our messengers had come to them with clarities, but many of them are, after this, still corrupting on the earth.*

*13:24. "Peace be upon you for what you have been patient for. Excellent indeed is the final abode."*

*17:32. And do not come near adultery, for it is immoral and an evil path.*

*38:52. And with them are those with a modest gaze, mature in age.*

*69:21. So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing.*

89:27.  "O you soul which is peaceful."]*

*4:16. And the two men who commit it from among you, you shall trouble them. If they repent and amend, then leave them alone. Allah is Redeemer, Merciful.*

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

*4:18.  And there will be no repentance for those who commit sin then when death comes upon any one of them he says: "I repent now!" Nor for those who die while they are rejecters. For those We have prepared a painful retribution.*

*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.*

*4:20. And if you wish to replace one wife with another, and you have given one of them a large amount, then do not take anything from it. Will you take it by falsehood while it is clearly a sin?*

*4:21.  And how can you take it when you have become intimate with each other, and they have taken from you a solemn covenant.*

*4:22 And do not marry who your fathers had married from the women, except what has already been done. It is a lewdness, and an abhorrence, and an evil path.*

*4:23.  Forbidden for you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and the sisters of your father, and the sisters of your mother, and the daughters of your brother, and the daughters of your sister, and your foster mothers who suckled you, and your sisters from suckling, and the mothers of your women, and your step-daughters who are in your lodgings from your women with whom you have already consummated the marriage; if you have not consummated the marriage then there is no sin upon you; and those who were in wedlock with your sons who are from your seed, and that you join between two sisters except what has already been done. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.*

*4:24.  And the independent from the women, except those maintained by your oaths; the book of Allah over you; and permitted for you is what is beyond this, if you are seeking with your money to be independent, not for illicit sex. As for those whom you have already had joy with, then you shall give them their dowries as an obligation. There is no sin upon you for what you agree on after the obligation. Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise.*

*4:25.  And whoever of you cannot afford to marry the independent female believers, then from those maintained by your oaths of the believing young women. And Allah is more aware of your faith, some of you to each other. You shall marry them with the permission of their parents, and give them their dowries in kindness - to be independent - not for illicit sex or taking lovers. Until they become independent, any of them who comes with an immorality shall have half of what is the punishment for those who are independent. This is for those who fear hardship from among you. But if you are patient it is better for you, and Allah is Forgiver, Merciful.*

*4:26.  Allah wants to clarify for you and guide you to the paths of those before you, and pardon you, and Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise.*

*4:27 And Allah wants to pardon you, but those who follow desires want that you would be diverted into a great diversion.*

*4:28.  Allah wants to alleviate for you; and man was created weak.*

 *[7:17."Then I will come to them from between their hands, and from behind them, and from their right, and from their left; and You will find most of them unthankful."*

*25:28-29. "Woe to me, I wish I did not take so and so as a friend!"*

*"He has misguided me from the remembrance after it came to me, and the devil was always a betrayer of mankind!"]*

*4:29.  O you who believe, do not consume your money between you unjustly, unless it is through a trade which is mutually agreed by you. And do not kill yourselves; Allah is Merciful towards you.*

*[So you must be merciful to others.*

 *2:275. Those who consume usury do not rise except as one being influenced by the touch of the devil. That is because they have said: "Trade is the same as usury." While Allah has made trade lawful, and He has made usury unlawful. Whoever has received understanding from His Rabb and ceases, then he will be forgiven for what was before this and his case will be with Allah. But whoever returns, then they are the people of the Fire, in it they will abide.*

*53:39.  And man will have what he sought.*

*Illa in this verse means ‘not even’ and not ‘except’.*

 *2:188.  And do not consume your money between you unjustly by bribing the decision makers so that you may consume a part of the money of other.*

*26:181."Give full measure and do not be of those who cause losses." ]*

4:30. And whoever does so out of animosity and transgression, We will cast him to a Fire; and this for Allah is very easy.

The people of THE QUR'AN, THE PEOPLE OF ALLAH

 Please have a read !!

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah has His own people among mankind.'

 They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, who are they?' He said: 'The people of the Qur'an, the people of Allah and those who are closest to Him.'"

حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بُدَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏"‏ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ أَهْلِينَ مِنَ النَّاسِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ هُمْ قَالَ ‏"‏ هُمْ أَهْلُ الْقُرْآنِ أَهْلُ اللَّهِ وَخَاصَّتُهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Ibn Maja: 215.

Their own Hadith is telling us that the people of Quran are from the people of Allah.

GAME OVER !!

Night Meditate ( Recite Quran)

 *17:79. And from the night arise from sleep for meditate with it (as) additional for you; it may be that will raise you your Rabb (to) a station praiseworthy.*

*73:1  O you who wraps himself!*

*73:2  Stand (in) the night, except a little,*

*73:3  Half of it, or lessen from it a little,*

*73:4  Or add to it, and recite the Quran (with) measured rhythmic recitation.*

*73:5  Indeed, We will cast upon you a Word heavy.*

*73:6  Indeed, (the) rising (at) the night, it (is) very hard and most potent and more suitable (for) Word.*

*73:7  Indeed, for you in the day (is) occupation prolonged.*

*73:8  And remember (the) name (of) your Rabb and devote yourself to Him (with) devotion.*

*73:19  Indeed, this (is) a Reminder, then whoever wills (let him) take to his Rabb a way.*

*73:20  Indeed, your Rabb knows that you stand (a little) less than two-thirds (of) the night, and half of it and a third of it and (so do) a group of those who (are) with you. And Allah determines the night and the day. He knows that not you count it, so He has turned to you, so recite what is easy of the Quran. He knows that there will be among you sick and others traveling in the land seeking of (the) Bounty (of) Allah, and others fighting in (the) way (of) Allah. So recite what is easy of it, and establish the prayer and give the zakah and loan Allah a loan goodly. And whatever you send forth for yourselves of good, you will find it with Allah. It (will be) better and greater (in) reward. And seek forgiveness (of) Allah. Indeed, Allah (is) Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.*

*76:26. And of the night prostrate to Him, and glorify Him a night long.*

SURAH AL IMRAN 171 - 200

 QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)

3: 171. They rejoice with the bounty of Allah and grace; Allah will not waste the recompense of the believers.

3:172. Those who have answered Allah and the messenger after they were afflicted with wounds. For those of them who did good and were righteous is a great recompense.

[8:24. O you who believe, answer the call of Allah and His messenger when he calls you to what will grant you life. And know that Allah comes between a person and his heart, and that to Him you will be gathered.]

3:173. The ones who the people said to them: "The people have gathered against you, so be concerned by them," but it only increased their faith and they said: "Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best to put our trust in."

3:174. So they came back with a recompense from Allah and a bounty, no harm would touch them. And they had followed the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the One with great pleasure.

3:175. It is only the devil trying to create fear for his allies, so do not fear them, but fear Me if you are believers.

3: 176. And do not be saddened by those who rush into disbelief. They will not harm Allah in the least. Allah does not wish to make for them any share in the Hereafter, and they will have a painful retribution.

3:177. Those who have purchased rejection with belief will not harm Allah in the least, and they will have a painful retribution.

3:178.  And let not those who reject think that We are providing for them out of the goodness of themselves. We are only providing for them so that they may increase in transgression, and they will have a humiliating retribution.

3:179.  Allah was not to leave the believers as they were without distinguishing the rotten from the good. And Allah was not to let you know the future, but Allah chooses from His messengers whom He wishes; so believe in Allah and His messengers. And if you believe and are righteous, then you will have a great recompense.

 [47:29. Or did those who harbor a disease in their hearts think that Allah would not bring out their evil thoughts?

 72:26. Knower of the unseen, He does not reveal His unseen to anyone.]

3: 180. And let not those who are stingy with what Allah has given them of His bounty think that it is good for them, no, it is evil for them. They will be surrounded by what they were stingy with on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allah will be the inheritance of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is Expert over what you do.. [55:10. And the earth He has made for all creatures.]

3:181. Allah has heard the words of those who said: "Allah is poor and we are rich!" We will record what they have said and their killing of the prophets without right; and We will say: "Taste the retribution of the Fire!"

[11:27.The leaders who rejected from among his people said: "We do not see you except as a human being like us, and we see that only the lowest among our people who have no opinion have followed you. And we do not see a thing that makes you better than us; in fact, we think you are liars." ]

3:182. This is for what their hands have delivered, and Allah does not wrong the servants.

[8:51. "This is for what your hands have delivered, and Allah does not wrong the servants."]

3:183. Those who said: "Allah has pledged to us that we should not believe in a messenger unless he brings us an offering which the fire will devour." Say: "Messengers have come to you before me with clarity and with what you have said, so why did you kill them if you were truthful?"

3:184. If they deny you, then messengers before you were also denied; they came with the proofs and the scriptures and the Book of Enlightenment.

3:185. Every soul will taste death, and you will be recompensed your dues on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is swayed from the Fire and entered into the Paradise, he has indeed won. This worldly life is nothing more than the enjoyment of vanity.The real success entails striving for both worlds.

[2:201.And some of them say: "Our Rabb, give us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and spare us from the retribution of the Fire."

10:63. Those who have believed and are aware.

14:27. Allah makes firm those who believe with firm sayings in the worldly life, and in the Hereafter. And Allah misguides the wicked, and Allah does what He wishes.

28:77. "And seek with the provisions bestowed upon you by Allah the abode of the Hereafter, and do not forget your share in this world, and do good as Allah has done good to you. And do not seek corruption in the land. Allah does not love the corrupters."]

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.

3:187. And Allah took the covenant of those who were given the Book: "You will make it clear to the people and not conceal it." But they placed it behind their backs and purchased with it a cheap price. Miserable indeed is what they have purchased.!

[2:16.These are the ones who have purchased straying with guidance; their trade did not profit them, nor were they guided. ]

3:188.  Do not think that those who are happy with what they have been given, and they love to be praised for what they did not do; do not think they are saved from the punishment. For them is a painful retribution.

3:189. And to Allah is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is capable of all things.

[10:4.To Him is your return, all of you, for the promise of Allah is true. He initiates the creation then He returns it; to recompense with justice those who have believed and have done good works. As for those who have rejected, they will have a boiling drink, and a painful retribution for what they had rejected.

[34:3-4.  And those who rejected said: "The Hour will not come to us!" Say: "Yes, by my Rabb, it will come to you." He 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.

That He may reward those who believe and do good works. To them will be a forgiveness and a generous provision.

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

3:190. In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference between the night and the day, are signs for those who possess intelligence.

3: 191. Those who remember Allah while standing, and sitting, and on their sides, and they ponder over the creation of the heavens and the earth: "Our Rabb you have not created this without purpose, glory to You, spare us the retribution of the Fire!"s.* *[13:17. He sends down water from the sky, so valleys flow according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. And from what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods is produced a similar foam. It is in such a manner that Allah strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away, and as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that Allah puts forth the examples.

45:13. And He commissioned in your service what is in the heavens and what is in the earth;all from Him. In that are signs for a people who reflect.]

3:192. "Our Rabb, whoever You admit to the Fire has been disgraced. The wicked will have no supporters."

3:193.  "Our Rabb, we have heard a caller inviting to the faith: "Believe in your Rabb," so we have believed. Our Rabb forgive us our bad deeds, and forgive our sins, and let us die in the company of the righteous."

[2:186.  And if My servants ask you about Me, I am near answering the calls of those who call to Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided.

Abraar= Those who create opportunities for others to make progress]

3:194. "Our Rabb, and grant us what You have promised through Your messengers, and do not embarrass us on the Day of Resurrection. You do not break the promise."

[24:55. Allah promises those among you who believe and do good works, that He will make them successors on the earth, as He made successors of those before them, and He will enable for them their system which He has approved for them, and He will substitute security for them in place of fear: "That they serve Me, not setting up anything with Me." And as for those who reject after that, these are the wicked.]

3:195. Their Rabb answered them: "I do not waste the work of any worker from among you, whether male or female, you are all as each other. For those who emigrated and were driven-out from their homes and were harmed in My cause, and they fought and were killed, I will forgive for them their sins and admit them to estates with rivers flowing beneath them." A recompense from Allah; and Allah has the best recompense.

[2:186. And if My servants ask you about Me, I am near answering the calls of those who call to Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided.]

3:196.  Do not be deceived by the success of those who have rejected in the land.

3:197.  A brief enjoyment, then their abode is Hell. What a miserable abode!

3:198.  As for those who reverence their Rabb, they will have estates with rivers flowing beneath them; abiding therein as a dwelling from Allah. What is with Allah is better for the obedient.

3:199. And from the people of the Book are those who believe in Allah and what was sent down to you and what was sent down to them; fearful to Allah, they do not purchase with the revelations of Allah a cheap price. These will have their recompense with their Rabb. For Allah is swift in reckoning.

[3:113-114. They are not all the same, from the people of the Book are a nation that is upright; they recite the revelations of Allah during the night hours and they prostrate.

They believe in Allah and the Last Day and order kindness and prohibit vice, and they hasten in goodness; these are of the good doers.]

3:200.  O you who believe, be patient and call for patience, and stand firm, and reverence Allah that you may succeed.

SURAH AL IMRAN 141 - 170

 QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELSELF)

3:141. And Allah will prove those who believe and He will condemn the rejecters.

3:142.  Or did you think that you would enter the Paradise without Allah distinguishing those who would strive among you and distinguishing those who are patient?

[2:214. Or did you expect that you would enter the Paradise, while the example of those who were before you came to you; they were stricken with adversity and hardship, and they were shaken until the messenger and those who believed with him said: "When is the victory of Allah?" Yes indeed, the victory of Allah is near.]

3:143.  And you used to long for death before you came upon it; so now you see it right in-front of you!

[A life of honor in this world belongs to those who have conquered the fear of death, and death is the gateway to eternal life.

2:94. Say: "If the abode of the Hereafter has been set exclusively for you with God, to the exception of all other people, then you should wish for death if you are truthful!"

2:243.  Did you not see those who left their homes in groups, all the while they were fearful of death; so Allah said to them: "Die," then He resurrected them. Allah has bestowed a great grace over the people, but most of the people are not thankful.]

3:144.  And Mohammed is but a messenger, like many messengers who have passed before him. If he dies or is killed will you turn back on your heels? And whoever turns back on his heels, he will not harm Allah in the least. And Allah will recompense the thankful.

[The System the Prophet has established is to become a beacon of light for all humanity. The believers will reap the fruit of the Benevolent System here and, then, get rewarded in the Hereafter.

3:101. And how can you reject when the revelations of God are being recited to you and with you is His messenger? And whoever holds firmly to Allah has been guided to the straight path.

3:185. Every soul will taste death, and you will be recompensed your dues on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is swayed from the Fire and entered into the Paradise, he has indeed won. This worldly life is nothing more than the enjoyment of vanity.

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. ]

3:145.  It is not permitted for a soul to die except by the permission of Allah in an appointed record. And whoever wants the reward of this world We give him of it, and whoever wants the reward of the Hereafter, We give him of it. And We will reward the thankful.

[Being appreciative Shaakir is not confined to verbal proclamations. It involves sharing Divine bounties with the society and individuals. The Qur’an shows humans the way to success in both worlds.

3:148. So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the best reward of the Hereafter; and Allah loves the good doers.

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

24:55. Allah promises those among you who believe and do good works, that He will make them successors on the earth, as He made successors of those before them, and He will enable for them their system which He has approved for them, and He will substitute security for them in place of fear: "That they serve Me, not setting up anything with Me." And as for those who reject after that, these are the wicked.

28:77. "And seek with the provisions bestowed upon you by Allah the abode of the Hereafter, and do not forget your share in this world, and do good as Allah has done good to you. And do not seek corruption in the land. Allah does not love the corrupters."  ]

3:146.  And many a prophet had a large number of Devotees fighting with him. They did not waver by what afflicted them in the cause of Allah, nor did they become weak, nor did they become discouraged; and Allah loves the patient ones.

[Wa= And = Since = Witness = Or = For = Then = As a continuum, it may be understood as 'know', 'remember'. Saabir = Steadfast = Persevering = Determined = Patient in ease and adversity]

3:147.  And they did not say except: "Our Rabb, forgive us our sins and our shortcomings in our responsibility, and make firm our foothold, and grant us victory over the rejecting people."

3:148.  So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the best reward of the Hereafter; and Allah loves the good doers.

3:149.  O you who believe, if you obey those who have rejected, then they will turn you back on your heels and you will turn back as losers.

3:150 It is Allah who is your Patron, and He is the best victor.

3: 151. We will cast terror in the hearts of those who have rejected, because of what they have set up besides Allah while He never sent down any authority to do so, and their destiny is the Fire. Miserable is the abode of the wicked.

3:152.  And Allah has fulfilled His promise to you, that you would overwhelm them with His permission; but then you failed and disputed in the matter and disobeyed after He showed you what you had sought. Some of you want this world, and some of you want the Hereafter. Then He let you retreat from them that He may test you; and He has pardoned you. Allah is with great grace over the believers.

3:153. For you were ascending to the high ground and would not even glance towards anyone, and the messenger was calling to you from behind. Therefore He gave you worry to replace your worry, so that you would not have sadness by what has passed you, or for what afflicted you, and Allah is Expert over what you do.

3:154.  Then He sent down to you after the worry a tranquility in sleepiness, it overtook a group of you; and another group was obsessed with themselves, they were thinking about Allah other than the truth, the thoughts of the days of ignorance. They say: "Why are we involved in this affair?" Say: "The entire affair is for Allah." They hide in their souls what they do not show to you, they say: "If we had a say in this affair then none of us would have been killed here." Say: "If you were inside your own homes, then the ones who had been marked for death would have come out to their resting place." Allah  will test what is in your chests and bring out what is in your hearts. Allah is Knowledgeable as to what is in the chests.

3:155.  Those of you who turned away on the day that the two hosts met, it was the devil who caused them to slip due to some of what they had earned. And Allah has pardoned them, for Allah is Forgiver, Compassionate.

3:156. O you who believe do not be like those who rejected and said to their brothers when they had gone forth in the land or on the offensive: "If they were here with us they would not have died nor been killed." Allah will make this a source of grief in their hearts, and Allah grants life and death, and Allah is watching over what you do.

3:157.  And if you are killed in the cause of Allah or die, then forgiveness from Allah and mercy are far greater than all they can put together.

3:158.  And if you die or are killed, then to Allah you will be gathered.

3:159.  It was a mercy from Allah that you were soft towards them; had you been harsh and hard-hearted, they would have dispersed from you; so pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them in the matter; but when you are convinced, then put your trust in Allah; for Allah loves those who put their trust.

3:160. If Allah grants you victory then none can defeat you, and if He abandons you then who can grant you victory after Him? And towards Allah the believers should put their trust.

3:161. It was not for any prophet to embezzle, and he who embezzles will be brought with what he has embezzled on the Day of Resurrection, then every soul will be given what it has earned without being wronged.

3:162. Is he who follows the pleasure of Allah as he who draws the wrath of Allah and his abode is Hell and a miserable destiny?

3:163 They are in grades with Allah, and Allah is Seer of what they do.

[Conduct is the sole determining factor for ranks with Allah.

*6:132. But there are degrees for what they had done; and your Lord is not unaware of what they do.

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 Allah is the most righteous. Allah is Knowledgeable, Expert.

84:19. You will ride a platform upon a platform.]

3:164.  Allah has bestowed grace upon the believers by sending them a messenger from among themselves reciting His revelations and purifying them and teaching them the Book and the wisdom, and they were before in manifest darkness.

3:165.  And so it was when you suffered setback; even though you afflicted them with twice as much setback; you said: "Where is this coming from?" Say: "It is from yourselves." Allah is capable of all things.

[3:152. And Allah has fulfilled His promise to you, that you would overwhelm them with His permission; but then you failed and disputed in the matter and disobeyed after He showed you what you had sought. Some of you want this world, and some of you want the Hereafter. Then He let you retreat from them that He may test you; and He has pardoned you. Allah is with great grace over the believers.]

3:166. And what you suffered on the day the two hosts met was with the permission of Allah, and to let the believers know.

3:167.  And to let those who are hypocrites know, that they were told: "Come fight in the cause of Allah or defend," they said: "If we knew how to fight we would have followed you." They are closer to rejection than they are to belief. They say with their mouths what is not in their hearts, and Allah is aware of what they conceal.

3:168. Those who remained and said to their brothers: "If they obeyed us they would not have been killed." Say: "Then avert death away from yourselves if you are truthful!"

3:169.  And do not think that those who are killed in the cause of Allah are dead. No, they are alive at their Allah receiving a bounty.*

*[2:154. And do not say of those who are killed in the cause of God that they are dead; no, they are alive but you do not perceive.].

3:170.  Happy with what Allah has granted them from His grace, and they rejoice in those who have yet to follow after them. There is no fear upon them nor do they grieve.
