Allah swt here talks of darkness of the night highlighting the difficulty with which one can see and things become blurry where the night is made so dark that it becomes hard for you to see.
And then out of this darkness He swt brought out the time of the morning that is the brightest and easiest in which to see duha. Allah swt here contrasts two things. First, He swt made the night so dark you could not distinguish falsehood from truth, figuratively speaking, and then He swt brought a day so bright that there is absolute clarity of one thing over another.
In between the lines, this is a reference to revelation in that there were nights so bad that the Quraysh were pitting idols against each other, discussing whether there is life after death and whether there is a heaven and hell i. Dahwa in Arabic can mean the egg of an ostrich. Some supporters of science in the Quran suggest that as the word dahwa indicates something oval or round that Allah swt is indicating that the earth is round.
In the classical sense daha means to smoothen and to spread out and Allah swt is illustrating the powerful creation of the earth and how widely it is spread. And perhaps this is also a reminder to the kaffir of the verse 14 in which Allah swt said you are going to end up in that flat clear land. So Allah swt firstly says he made the earth flat, smooth and expanded and then he drew from it water and these pasture lands.
Irsa means to put an anchor down on a large ship. So Allah swt has created mountains like they are anchored into the ground. The idea being that they are not like other buildings that you can just remove. They are fixed and are very tough in their construction. Irsa is also used for pegging i. After speaking about the earth and the sky, Allah swt says that all of this is a provision for us to use. So, not something you enjoy but definitely something you use.
Thus, dunya has been described here as something for us to use but not necessarily for us to indulge in its enjoyment. The word is appropriate here as the real problem of the person who denies akhira is that they are too addicted to enjoying dunya.
Idha here means all of a sudden. Tam is used for something which is completely full. For example is someone fills a well full or dirt till it is full it is said to be tam. Taama is a calamity that is so complete and overwhelming from every direction there is no escape from it and where this is trouble every direction you turn to.
So taamatul kubra is the ultimate calamity that all of a sudden arrives and makes its grand entrance. Yatadhukurul insaan means that man will thoroughly remember everything he did.
This word means that every last memory will be recollected and man will remember every last thing he did and rushed towards. Allah swt connects the two verses. The crime of the kuffar mentioned in this surah is their speech and their scepticism of the hereafter.
However, Allah swt has seen through their speech and highlighted that it is a result of the things they rushed towards and on the day of resurrection they will remember not only their speech but the efforts and motives behind their speech. Burriza is used to pull something out and place in front of someone. Jahama is a word used when a lion is staring at you with hungry eyes.
It is one of the names of the hellfire and is also used in a blaze that is so intense that it almost looks like it is staring at you. So, this enraged hellfire will be brought forward for anyone to look at meaning they will have to look at the rage of it.
In this verse it will be brought out in front of the one who wishes to see. If you look at the statements of the sceptics in this surah they said they could not visualise bones being resurrected and brought back to life and their original state.
So, Allah is now saying you will see eventually when the fire is brought out in front of you. Aathara means to give preference. And so the source of rebellion is mentioned here. But, we just said that jaheem is a blazing fire like a roaring lion staring at you and Allah swt is now saying that this jaheem will be a place to find refuge. The surah begins with the Quraysh being sarcastic and now Allah swt is being sarcastic saying that this blazing fire will be their refuge.
But as for him who feared standing before his Lord and restrained himself from his desires. The believer, however, not only fears his Lord but fears even standing in front of his Lord maqaam means place and time. As a result of this fear of consequence the believer prevented the nafs inside of him from vain, pathetic and empty desires. Allah swt here does not talk of the soul in the possessive sense i. If it was in the possessive it would indicate that you are struggling with yourself but it is almost as if He swt wants you to consider your soul as a separate entity and an enemy within you that is calling you to the hellfire and evil and is a challenge that you have to defeat.
Bear in mind that this surah is not about belief and disbelief in the hereafter. This surah is about preference of the hereafter versus preference of this life which is one of the root causes of someone who disbelieves. This can also be a disease for the Muslim too who falls into dunya and forgets ahkira, talking about it casually. The same word is used here that was used in verse 32 to refer to the mountains being pegged.
So, the Quraysh are asking when the Day is going to come to pass. The Quraysh are now being sarcastic asking when the Hour will be upon them. They are saying we can see the mountains and that they are pegged but this idea of the Hour coming when is this really going to come and situate and peg itself in. Allah swt quotes this to the messenger saw and then turns to him and asks a question in the next verse.
Allah swt asks the messenger saw in what capacity are you to make mention of the hour. The messenger saw does not have the capacity to mention when the Hour will come to pass only to mention that it is coming and get ready for it. So after posing the question to the messenger saw , Allah swt says only to your Lord will the final and complete knowledge of it be returned. Muntaha comes from intiha which is the conclusion of something which also implies that the possession of the beginning of the events of akhira to the very end of the events of akhira belongs to your Lord.
Allah swt now answers the question put in the previous verse and makes mention of his capacity only as a warner for those who will actually gain some fear out of his message.
The day they see it, it will seem too them that their life on earth had spanned only one morning or one afternoon. Duha is the early morning i. Allah swt here is saying that their life will seem like one morning or afternoon in comparison to that hour. The beginning of this surah after the oaths and at the end of this surah Allah swt talks about the hour.
Thereby both starting and finishing with this subject making the surah a complete discussion. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

On another occasion he had addressed his courtiers, saying: "O chiefs, I do not know of any other god of yours than myself.
By this Pharaoh did not mean, nor could he ever mean, that he himself was the creator of the universe and he had made the world, nor that he denied the existence of Allah and claimed to be lord of the universe, nor that he regarded only himself as a deity of the people in the religious sense. In the Qur'an itself there is a clear testimony that as regards religion he himself worshiped other gods.
Once his courtiers said to him: "Will you leave Moses and his people free to spread chaos in the land, and let them discard you and your deities? And in the Qur'an itself this saying of the Pharaoh also has been cited: "Had Moses been sent by Allah, why were not bracelets of gold sent down to him, or a company of angels as attendants? Thus, in fact, he called himself a god and supreme deity not in the religious but in the political sense. What he meant was that he possessed the sovereign rights: no one beside him had the right to rule in his kingdom and there was no superior power whose orders could be enforced in the land.
For further explanation. The God Who created you in the first instance cannot be powerless to create you once again. For example, in Surah Ya Sin it has been said: "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them again? Why not, when He is the skillful Creator. The word "cover" has been used for the night in the sense that after the sun has set the darkness of the night so spreads over the earth as though it has covered it from above by a curtain.
Several instances of this style are found in the Qur'an, e. Here, one should also understand that at some places in the Qur'an the creation of the earth has been mentioned first and then the creation of the heavens, as in Al-Baqarah: 29, and at others the creation of the heavens has been mentioned first and then of the earth, as in these verses. There is, in fact, no contradiction in this. At no place the object is to tell what was created first and what afterwards, but wherever the context requires that the excellences of the power of Allah be made prominent, the heavens have been mentioned first and then the earth, and where the context requires that the people be made to appreciate and acknowledge the blessings that they are benefiting by on the earth, the mention of the earth has been made before that of the heavens.
N's 13,14 of Ha Mim As-Sajdah. An example of the use of rat'. The brothers of Joseph said to their father: "Send Joseph with us tomorrow that he may freely graze and enjoy sport. Second, that the pointers to the perfect wisdom of Allah which are clearly visible in the universe and the earth, point out that nothing is happening here purposelessly. The balance that exists between countless of the stars and planets and galaxies in the heavens testifies that all this has not happened haphazardly but there is a well thought-out plan working behind it.
The regular alternation of the night and day is an evidence that this system has been established with supreme wisdom and knowledge for making the earth a home and place of settlement. On this very earth are found regions where the alternation of the night and day takes place within 24 hours and also those regions where there are longer days and longer nights. A very large part of the earth's population lives in the first kind of the regions. Then as the days and nights go on becoming longer and longer, life goes on becoming harder and harder and population thinner and thinner.
So much so that the regions where there are six-month-long days and six-month-long nights, are not at all fit for human settlement. By swearing these angels or beings, it tells that as God has the power to take back your souls, He also has the ability to resurrect people after their death. So the primary theme is an affirmation of Resurrection and the life hereafter. The Surah also narrates a brief story of Moses, Pharaoh, and his people and warns about the consequences of arrogant pride, which leads to the denial of the truth and ultimately to destruction.
There are those people whose souls the angels remove with ease as if they were unraveling him i. Moreover, by those who arrange affairs.
