4. | Lahoo maa fis samaa waati wa maa fil ardi wa Huwal 'Aliyul 'Azeem | To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: and He is Most High, Most Great. | لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ |
5. | Takaadus samaawaatu yatafattarna min fawqihinn; walmalaaa'ikatu yusabbihoona bihamdi Rabbihim wa yastaghfiroona liman fil ard; alaaa innal laaha huwal Ghafoorur Raheem | The heavens are almost rent asunder from above them (by His Glory): and the angels celebrate the Praises of their Lord, and pray for forgiveness for (all) beings on earth: Behold! Verily Allah is He, the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. | تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِنَّ ۚ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ |
6. | Wallazeenat takhazoo min dooniheee awliyaaa'al laahu hafeezun 'alaihim wa maaa anta 'alaihim biwakeel | And those who take as protectors others besides Him,- Allah doth watch over them; and thou art not the disposer of their affairs. | وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهُ حَفِيظٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَكِيلٍ |

9. | Amit takhazoo min dooniheee awliyaaa'a fallaahu Huwal Waliyyu wa Huwa yuhyil mawtaa wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shai'in Qadeer (section 1) | What! Have they taken (for worship) protectors besides Him? But it is Allah,- He is the Protector, and it is He Who gives life to the dead: It is He Who has power over all things, | أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ ۖ فَاللَّهُ هُوَ الْوَلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ |
10. | Wa makh-talaftum feehi min shai'in fahukmuhooo ilallaah; zaalikumul laahu Rabbee 'alaihi tawakkaltu wa ilaihi uneeb | Whatever it be wherein ye differ, the decision thereof is with Allah: such is Allah my Lord: In Him I trust, and to Him I turn. | وَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَحُكْمُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ |

12. | Lahoo maqaaleedus samaawaati wal ardi yabsutur rizqa limai yashaaa'u wa yaqdir; innahoo bikulli shai'in 'Aleem | To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: He enlarges and restricts. The Sustenance to whom He will: for He knows full well all things. | لَهُ مَقَالِيدُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ |

Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him). | شَرَعَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الدِّينِ مَا وَصَّىٰ بِهِ نُوحًا وَالَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ ۖ أَنْ أَقِيمُوا الدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهِ ۚ كَبُرَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ ۚ اللَّهُ يَجْتَبِي إِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ مَنْ يُنِيبُ |

Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy Lord, (tending) to a Term appointed, the matter would have been settled between them: But truly those who have inherited the Book after them are in suspicious (disquieting) doubt concerning it. | وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوا إِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ أُورِثُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِنْهُ مُرِيبٍ |

Allah is our Lord and your Lord: for us (is the responsibility for) our deeds, and for you for your deeds. There is no contention between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to Him is (our) Final Goal. | فَلِذَٰلِكَ فَادْعُ ۖ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ ۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ ۖ وَقُلْ آمَنْتُ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنْ كِتَابٍ ۖ وَأُمِرْتُ لِأَعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمُ ۖ اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْ ۖ لَنَا أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ ۖ لَا حُجَّةَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ ۖ اللَّهُ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ |
16. | Wallazeena yuhaaajjoona fil laahi mim ba'di mastujeeba lahoo hujjatuhum daahidatun 'inda Rabbihim wa 'alaihim ghadabunw wa lahum 'azaabun shadeed | But those who dispute concerning Allah after He has been accepted,- futile is their dispute in the Sight of their Lord: on them will be a Penalty terrible. | وَالَّذِينَ يُحَاجُّونَ فِي اللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ حُجَّتُهُمْ دَاحِضَةٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ |
17. | Allahul lazeee anzalal Kitaaba bilhaqqi wal Meezaan; wa ma yudreeka la'allas Saa'ata qareeb | It is Allah Who has sent down the Book in Truth, and the Balance (by which to weigh conduct). And what will make thee realise that perhaps the Hour is close at hand? | اللَّهُ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْمِيزَانَ ۗ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ قَرِيبٌ |

Behold, verily those that dispute concerning the Hour are far astray. | يَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهَا ۖ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مُشْفِقُونَ مِنْهَا وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهَا الْحَقُّ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُمَارُونَ فِي السَّاعَةِ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ بَعِيدٍ |
19. | Allahu lateefum bi'ibaadihee yarzuqu mai yashaaa'u wa Huwal Qawiyyul 'Azeez (Section 2) | Gracious is Allah to His servants: He gives Sustenance to whom He pleases: and He has power and can carry out His Will. | اللَّهُ لَطِيفٌ بِعِبَادِهِ يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۖ وَهُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيزُ |
20. | Man kaana yureedu harsal Aakhirati nazid lahoo fee harsihee wa man kaana yureedu harsad dunyaa nu'tihee minhaa wa maa lahoo fil Aakhirati min naseeb | To any that desires the tilth of the Hereafter, We give increase in his tilth, and to any that desires the tilth of this world, We grant somewhat thereof, but he has no share or lot in the Hereafter. | مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الْآخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهُ فِي حَرْثِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ نَصِيبٍ |

Had it not been for the Decree of Judgment, the matter would have been decided between them (at once). But verily the Wrong-doers will have a grievous Penalty. | أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ شَرَعُوا لَهُمْ مِنَ الدِّينِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَنْ بِهِ اللَّهُ ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗ وَإِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |
22. | Taraz zaalimeena mushfiqeena mimmaa kasaboo wa huwa waaqi'um bihim; wallazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati fee rawdaatil jannaati lahum maa yashaaa'oona 'inda Rabbihim; zaalika huwal fadlul kabeer | Thou wilt see the Wrong-doers in fear on account of what they have earned, and (the burden of) that must (necessarily) fall on them. But those who believe and work righteous deeds will be in the luxuriant meads of the Gardens: they shall have, before their Lord, all that they wish for. That will indeed be the magnificent Bounty (of Allah). | تَرَى الظَّالِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا وَهُوَ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ ۗ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فِي رَوْضَاتِ الْجَنَّاتِ ۖ لَهُمْ مَا يَشَاءُونَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيرُ |

Say: "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin." And if any one earns any good, We shall give him an increase of good in respect thereof: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (service). | ذَٰلِكَ الَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ ۗ قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَىٰ ۗ وَمَنْ يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَزِدْ لَهُ فِيهَا حُسْنًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ |
24. | Am yaqooloonaf tara 'alal laahi kaziban fa-iny yasha' illaahu yakhtim 'alaa qalbik; wa yamhul laahul baatila wa yuhiqqul haqqa bi Kalimaatih; innahoo 'Aleemun bizaatis sudoor | What! Do they say, "He has forged a falsehood against Allah"? But if Allah willed, He could seal up thy heart. And Allah blots out Vanity, and proves the Truth by His Words. For He knows well the secrets of all hearts. | أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا ۖ فَإِنْ يَشَإِ اللَّهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ ۗ وَيَمْحُ اللَّهُ الْبَاطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ |
25. | Wa Huwal lazee yaqbalut tawbata 'an 'ibaadihee wa ya'foo 'anis saiyiaati wa ya'lamu maa taf'aloon | He is the One that accepts repentance from His Servants and forgives sins: and He knows all that ye do. | وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ |
26. | Wa yastajeebul lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilu saalihaati wa yazeeduhum min fadlih; wal kaafiroona lahum 'azaabun shadeed | And He listens to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, and gives them increase of His Bounty: but for the Unbelievers there is a terrible Penalty. | وَيَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَيَزِيدُهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ۚ وَالْكَافِرُونَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ |
27. | Wa law basatal laahur rizqa li'ibaadihee labaghaw fil ardi wa laakiny yunazzilu biqadarim maa yashaaa'; innahoo bi'ibaadihee Khabeerun Baseer | If Allah were to enlarge the provision for His Servants, they would indeed transgress beyond all bounds through the earth; but he sends (it) down in due measure as He pleases. For He is with His Servants Well-acquainted, Watchful. | وَلَوْ بَسَطَ اللَّهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهِ لَبَغَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِنْ يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرٌ بَصِيرٌ |
28. | Wa Huwal lazee yunazzilul ghaisa min ba'di maa qanatoo wa yanshuru rahmatah; wa Huwal Waliyyul Hameed | He is the One that sends down rain (even) after (men) have given up all hope, and scatters His Mercy (far and wide). And He is the Protector, Worthy of all Praise. | وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا قَنَطُوا وَيَنْشُرُ رَحْمَتَهُ ۚ وَهُوَ الْوَلِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ |
29. | Wa min Aayaatihee khalqus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bassa feehimaa min daaabbah; wa Huwa 'alaa jam'ihim izaa yashaaa'u Qadeer (section 3) | And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills. | وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ جَمْعِهِمْ إِذَا يَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ |
30. | Wa maaa asaabakum min museebatin fabimaa kasabat aydeekum wa ya'foo 'an kaseer | Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because on the things your hands have wrought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness. | وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَنْ كَثِيرٍ |
31. | Wa maaa antum bimu'jizeena fil ardi wa maa lakum min doonil laahi minw wa liyyinw wa laa naseer | Nor can ye frustrate (aught), (fleeing) through the earth; nor have ye, besides Allah, any one to protect or to help. | وَمَا أَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ |
32. | Wa min Aayaatihil ja waarifil bahri kal a'lam | And among His Signs are the ships, smooth-running through the ocean, (tall) as mountains. | وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ الْجَوَارِ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَالْأَعْلَامِ |
33. | Iny yashaaa yuskinir reeha fa yazlalna rawaakida 'alaa zahrihi; inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil likulli sabbaarin shakoor | If it be His Will He can still the Wind: then would they become motionless on the back of the (ocean). Verily in this are Signs for everyone who patiently perseveres and is grateful. | إِنْ يَشَأْ يُسْكِنِ الرِّيحَ فَيَظْلَلْنَ رَوَاكِدَ عَلَىٰ ظَهْرِهِ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ |
34. | Aw yoobiqhunna bimaa kasaboo wa ya'fu 'an kaseer | Or He can cause them to perish because of the (evil) which (the men) have earned; but much doth He forgive. | أَوْ يُوبِقْهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُوا وَيَعْفُ عَنْ كَثِيرٍ |
35. | Wa ya'lamal lazeena yujaadiloona feee Aayaatinaa maa lahum min mahees | But let those know, who dispute about Our Signs, that there is for them no way of escape. | وَيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا مَا لَهُمْ مِنْ مَحِيصٍ |
36. | Famaa ooteetum min shai'in famataa'ul hayaatid dunyaa wa maa 'indal laahi khairunw wa abqaa lillazeena aamanoo wa 'alaa Rabbihim yatawakkaloon | Whatever ye are given (here) is (but) a convenience of this life: but that which is with Allah is better and more lasting: (it is) for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord: | فَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ |
37. | Wallazeena yajtaniboona kabaaa'iral ismi wal fawaahisha wa izaa maa ghadiboo hum yaghfiroon | Those who avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds, and, when they are angry even then forgive; | وَالَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ |
38. | Wallazeenas tajaaboo li Rabbihim wa aqaamus Salaata wa amruhum shooraa bainahum wa mimmaa razaqnaahum yunfiqoon | Those who hearken to their Lord, and establish regular Prayer; who (conduct) their affairs by mutual Consultation; who spend out of what We bestow on them for Sustenance; | وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ |
39. | Wallazeena izaa asaabahumul baghyu hum yantasiroon | And those who, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them, (are not cowed but) help and defend themselves. | وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَهُمُ الْبَغْيُ هُمْ يَنْتَصِرُونَ |
40. | Wa jazaaa'u saiyi'atin saiyi'atum misluha faman 'afaa wa aslaha fa ajruhoo 'alal laah; innahoo laa yuhibbuz zaalimeen | The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah) loveth not those who do wrong. | وَجَزَاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِثْلُهَا ۖ فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ |
41. | Wa lamanin tasara ba'da zulmihee fa ulaaa'ika maa 'alaihim min sabeel | But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such there is no cause of blame. | وَلَمَنِ انْتَصَرَ بَعْدَ ظُلْمِهِ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ |
42. | Innamas sabeelu 'alal lazeena yazlimoonan naasa wa yabghoona fil ardi bighairil haqq; ulaaa'ika lahum 'azaabun aleem | The blame is only against those who oppress men and wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a penalty grievous. | إِنَّمَا السَّبِيلُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَظْلِمُونَ النَّاسَ وَيَبْغُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |

Recitation by Mishary Al-Alfasy
It is derived frog the sentence, wa amru-hum shura baina hum, of verse 38,
implying thereby that it is a Surah in which the word shura has occurred.
Period of Revelation
Although it could not be known from any authentic
traditions, yet one feels after a study of its subject matter that this Surah
might have been sent down consecutively after Ha-Miim As Sajdah, for it seems to
be, in a way, a supplement to it. This will become clear to every person who
first studies Surah Ha-Mim As Sajdah carefully and then goes through this Surah.
He will see that in that Surah the Quraish chiefs had been taken to tack for
their deaf and blind opposition so that anyone in Makkah and in its out-skirts,
who had any sense of morality and nobility left in him, should know how
unreasonably the chiefs of the people were opposing Muhammad (upon whom be
Allah's peace), and as against them, how serious he was in everything he said,
how rational was his standpoint and how noble his character and conduct.
Immediately after that warning this Surah was sent down, which did full justice
to teaching and instruction, and made the truth of the Holy Prophet's message
plain in such an impressive way that anyone who had any element of the love of
the truth in him and who had not been blinded by the errors of ignorance, could
not help being influenced by it.
Theme and Subject Matter
The
discourse begins in a way as if to say: "Why are you expressing surprise and
amazement at what Our Prophet is presenting before you? What he says is not new
or strange, nor anything novel, which might have been presented for the first
time in history: that Revelation should come down to a man from God and he
should be given instructions for the guidance of mankind. Allah has been sending
similar Revelations with similar instructions to the former Prophets before
this. It is not surprising that the Owner of the Universe should be acknowledged
as Deity and Ruler, but what is strange is that one should accept another as
divine and deity in spite of being His subject and slave. You are being angry
with him who is presenting Tauhid before you, where as the shirk that you are
practicing with regard to the Master of the Universe is such a grave crime as
may cause the heavens to break asunder. The angels are amazed at this boldness
of yours and fear that the wrath of Allah might descend on you any moment."
After this the people have been told that a person's being appointed to
Prophethood and his presenting himself as a Prophet does not mean that he has
been made master of the people's destinies and he has come to the world with
that very claim. Allah has kept the destinies in His own hand. The Prophet has
come only to arouse the heedless and guide the strayed ones to the Right Path.
To call to account those who do not listen to him and to punish or not to punish
them is Allah's own responsibility. and not part of the Prophet's work.
Therefore, they should take it out of their head that the Prophet has come with
a claim similar to those that are made by their so called religious guides and
saints to the effect that he who would not listen to them, or would behave
insolently towards them, would be burnt to death: In this very connection, the
people have also been told that the Prophet has not come to condemn them but he
is their well wisher; he is warning them that the way they are following will
only lead to their own destruction.
Then, an answer has been given to the
question: Why didn't Allah make all human beings righteous by birth, and why did
He allow the difference of viewpoint owing to which the people start following
each and every way of thought and action?The answer given is this: Owing to this
very fact has it become possible for man to attain to the special mercy of
Allah, which is not meant for other dumb creatures, but is only meant for those
endowed with power and authority, who should take Allah as Patron and Guardian
not instinctively but consciously by willing choice. Allah supports the man who
adopts this way and guides and helps him to do good and right and admits him
into His special mercy. On the contrary, the man who misuses his option and
makes his patron those who are not, in fact, the guardians, and cannot be, are
deprived of divine mercy. In this connection, it has also been made clear that
only Allah is the Patron of man and of all other creatures. Others are neither
the patron nor have the power to do full justice to patronage. Man's success
depends only on this that he should make no mistake in choosing a patron for
himself by the use of his free choice, and should take only Him his Guide Who,
in reality, is the real Patron.
After this, it has been explained what
the Din being presented by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's
peace) really is:
Its primary basis that as Allah Almighty is the
Creator, Master and real Patron of the Universe and Man, He alone is Man's
Ruler, He alone has the right to give Man Faith (Din) and Law (system of belief
and practice) and judge the disputes of man and tell what is Truth and what is
falsehood. No other being has any right whatever to be man's lawgiver. In other
words, like the natural sovereignty, the sovereignty with regard to lawmaking
also is vested only in Allah. No man or creature, apart from Allah, can be the
bearer of this sovereignty. And if a person does not recognize and accept this
Divine rule of Allah, it is merely futile for him to recognize the natural
sovereignty of Allah.
On this very basis has Allah ordained a Din (True
Religion) for Man from the very beginning. It was one and the same Religion that
was vouchsafed in every age to all the Prophets. No Prophet ever founded any
separate religion of his own. The same one Religion has been enjoined by Allah
for all Mankind since the beginning of creation, and all the Prophets have been
following it and inviting others to follow it.
This Religion and Creed
was not sent so that man may rest content only with believing in it, but it was
sent with the purpose and intention that it alone should be introduced,
established and enforced in the world, and no man made religion be made to
prevail in Allah's earth apart from His Religion. The Prophets had not been
appointed only to preach this Religion but to establish it particularly in the
world.
This same was the original Religion of mankind, but after the
death of the Prophets, selfish people created new creeds by creating schisms for
vested interests due to self conceit, vanity and ostentation. All the different
religions and creeds found in the world today have resulted from corruption of
the original Divine Truth.
Now, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be
Allah's peace,) has been sent so that he may present before the people the same
and original Religion in place of the various practices and artificial creeds
and man made religions, and may try to establish the same. On this, if instead
of being grateful, you feel angry and come out to fight him, it is your folly;
the Prophet will not abandon his mission only because of your foolishness. He
has been enjoined to adhere to his faith at all costs and to carry out the
mission to which he has been appointed. Therefore, the people should not cherish
any false hope that in order to please thee he would cater to the same whims and
superstitions of ignorance which has corrupted Allah's Religion before.
You do not understand how great an impudence it is against Allah to adopt a man
made religion and law instead of the Religion and Law enjoined by Allah. You
think it is an ordinary thing and there is nothing wrong with it. But in the
sight of Allah it is the worst kind of shirk and a grave crime whose punishment
will be imposed on all those who enforced their own religion on Allah's earth
and those who adopted and followed their religion.
Thus, after presenting
a clear and visible concept of Religion it is said: "The best possible method
that could be employed for your instruction and for bringing you to the Right
Path has already been employed. On the one hand, Allah has sent down His Book,
which is teaching you the truth in a most impressive way in your own language;
and on the other, the lives of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's
peace) and his Companions are present before you by which you can see for
yourselves what kind of men are prepared by the guidance given in this Book.
Even then if you do not accept this guidance, nothing else in the world can
bring you to the Right Path. The only alternative, therefore, is that you should
be allowed to persist in the same error in which you have remained involved for
centuries, and made to meet with the same doom which has been destined by Allah
for such wrongdoers."
While stating these truths, brief arguments have
been given, here and there, for Tauhid and the Hereafter, the world worshipers
have been warned of the evil consequences and their punishment in the life
hereafter, and the disbelievers have been criticized for the moral weaknesses,
which were the real cause of their deviation from the truth. The Surah has been
concluded with two important themes.
First, that the Holy Prophet was
wholly unaware of this concept of the "Book" or the True Faith during the first
forty years of his life and then his sudden appearance before the people with
those two things, is a manifest proof of his being a Prophet.
Secondly,
his presenting his own teaching as the teaching of God does not mean that he
claims to have spoken to God, face to face, but God has conveyed to him this
Guidance, as in the case of all other Prophets, in three ways: He speaks to His
Prophets either through Revelation, or from behind a veil, or He sends an angel
with the message. This thing was clarified so that the opponents did not have an
opportunity of accusing the Holy Prophet of claiming to have spoken to God, face
to face, and the lovers of the truth should know by what methods Allah gave
instruction to the man whom He had appointed to the mission of Prophethood.
