Sura:39:Az-Zumar
Para:24
Ayat: –53-75
39:53
قُلۡ یٰعِبَادِیَ الَّذِیۡنَ اَسۡرَفُوۡا عَلٰۤی اَنۡفُسِہِمۡ لَا تَقۡنَطُوۡا مِنۡ رَّحۡمَۃِ اللّٰہِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یَغۡفِرُ الذُّنُوۡبَ جَمِیۡعًا ؕ اِنَّہٗ ہُوَ الۡغَفُوۡرُ الرَّحِیۡمُ ﴿۵۳﴾
Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”
The Call to repent before the Punishment comes
Allay says,
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًاِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Say:”O My servants who have transgressed against themselves! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, verily, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
This Ayah is a call to all sinners, be they disbelievers or others, to repent and turn to Allah. This Ayah tells us that Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, will forgive all the sins of those who repent to Him and turn back to Him, no matter what or how many his sins are, even if they are like the foam of the sea.
This cannot be interpreted as meaning that sins will be forgiven without repentance, because Shirk can only be forgiven for the one who repents from it.
Al-Bukhari recorded that Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said that some of the people of Shirk killed many people and committed Zina (illegal sexual acts) to a great extent; they came to Muhammad and said,
“What you are saying and calling us to is good; if only you could tell us that there is an expiation for what we have done.”
Then the following Ayat were revealed:
وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـهَا ءَاخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِى حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ
And those who invoke not any other god along with Allah, nor kill such person as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse. (25:68)
Allay says,
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ
Say:”O My servants who have transgressed against themselves! Despair not of the mercy of Allah.
This was also recorded by Muslim, Abu Dawud and An-Nasa’i.
What is meant by the first Ayah (25:68) is:
إِلاَّ مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلً صَـلِحاً
Except those who repent and believe, and do righteous deeds, (25:70)
Imam Ahmad recorded that Asma’ bint Yazid, said,
“I heard the Messenger of Allah reciting,
إِنَّهُ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَـلِحٍ
(verily, his work is unrighteous) (11:46), and I heard him say:
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًاِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Say:”O My servants who have transgressed against themselves! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, verily, Allah forgives all sins He does not reckon him Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
This was also recorded by Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi.
All of these Hadiths indicate that what is meant is that Allah forgives all sins provided that a person repents. Additionally, one must not despair of the mercy of Allah even if his sins are many and great, for the door of repentance and mercy is expansive.
Allah says:
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ
Know they not that Allah accept repentance from His servants? (9:104)
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءاً أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ يَجِدِ اللَّهَ غَفُوراً رَّحِيماً
And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but afterwards seeks Allah’s forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (4:110)
Concerning the hypocrites, Allah says:
إِنَّ الْمُنَـفِقِينَ فِى الدَّرْكِ الاٌّسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُمْ نَصِيراً إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ تَابُواْ وَأَصْلَحُواْ
Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depth (grade) of the Fire; no helper will you find for them. Except those who repent, and do righteous good deeds, (4:145-146)
And Allah says:
لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُواْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ثَـلِثُ ثَلَـثَةٍ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـهٍ إِلاَّ إِلَـهٌ وَحِدٌ وَإِن لَّمْ يَنتَهُواْ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Surely, disbelievers are those who said:”Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).” But there is no god but One. And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall on the disbelievers among them. (5:73)
Then He says:
أَفَلَ يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَهُ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
Will they not turn in repentance to Allah and ask His forgiveness For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (5:74)
And Allah says:
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُواْ الْمُوْمِنِينَ وَالْمُوْمِنَـتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُواْ
Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them), and then do not turn in repentance (to Allah). (85:10)
Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, said,
“Look at this generosity and kindness! They killed His close friends but He still called them to repentance and forgiveness.”
There are many Ayat on this topic.
The Two Sahihs record the Hadith of Abu Sa`id, may Allah be pleased with him, from Messenger of Allah about the man who killed ninety-nine people.
Later on, he regretted it and asked a worshipper among the Children of Israel whether he could repent.
He told him no, so he killed him, thus completing one hundred.
Then he asked one of their scholars whether he could repent.
He said, “What is stopping you from repenting?” Then he told him to go to a town where Allah was worshipped.
He set out for that town, but death came to him while he was on the road. The angels of mercy and the angels of punishment disputed over him, so Allah commanded them to measure the distance between the two towns; whichever he was closer to was the one to which he belonged. They found that he was closer to the town he was heading for, so the angels of mercy took him.
It was said that when he was dying, he moved himself (towards that town), and Allah commanded the good town to move closer to him and the other town to move away. This is basic meaning of the Hadith; we have quoted it in full elsewhere.
Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, commented on the Ayah:
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا
Say:”O My servants who have transgressed against themselves! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, verily, Allah forgives all sins…”
Allah invites all to His forgiveness; those who claim that the Messiah is God, those who claim that the Messiah is the son of God, those who claim that `Uzayr is the son of God, those who claim that Allah is poor, those who claim that the Hand of Allah is tied up, and those who say that Allah is the third of three (Trinity). Allah says to all of these:
أَفَلَ يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَهُ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
Will they not turn in repentance to Allah and ask His forgiveness For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (5:74)
And He calls to repentance the one who says something even worse than that, the one who says, `I am your Lord most high,’ and says,
مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُمْ مِّنْ إِلَـهٍ غَيْرِى
“I know not that you have a god other than me.” (28:38)
Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“Anyone who makes the servants of Allah despair of His mercy after this, has rejected the Book of Allah, but a person cannot repent until Allah decrees that he should repent.”
At-Tabarani recorded that Shutayr bin Shakal said, “I heard Ibn Mas`ud say,
`The greatest Ayah in the Book of Allah is:
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ
Allah! None has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists, (2:255)
The most comprehensive Ayah in the Qur’an concerning good and evil is:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالاْحْسَانِ
Verily, Allah enjoins justice and Al-Ihsan, (16:90)
The Ayah in the Qur’an which brings the most relief is in Surah Az-Zumar:
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ
Say:”O My servants who have transgressed against themselves! Despair not of the mercy of Allah.”
And the clearest Ayah in the Qur’an about reliance on Allah is:
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجاًوَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
And whosoever has Taqwa of Allah, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. (65:2-3)
Masruq said to him; `You have spoken the truth.”‘
Hadiths which tell us not to despair
Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“I heard the Messenger of Allah, say:
وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَخْطَأْتُمْ حَتْى تَمْلَاَ خَطَايَاكُمْ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالاْاَرْضِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتُمُ اللهَ تَعَالَى لَغَفَرَ لَكُمْ
وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍبِيَدِهِ لَوْ لَمْ تُخْطِيُوا لَجَاءَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِقَوْمٍ يُخْطِيُونَ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللهَ فَيَغْفِرُ لَهُم
By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, if you were to commit sin until your sins filled the space between heaven and earth, then you were to ask Allah for forgiveness, He would forgive you.
By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, if you did not commit sin, Allah would bring other people who would commit sins and then ask Allah for forgiveness so that He could forgive them.”
This was recorded only by Ahmad.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Ayub Al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him, said, as he was on his deathbed,
“I have concealed something from you that I heard from the Messenger of Allah; he said:
لَوْلَا أَنَّكُمْ تُذْنِبُونَ لَخَلَقَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَوْمًا يُذْنِبُونَ فَيَغْفِرُ لَهُم
If you did not commit sins, Allah would create people who would sin so that He could forgive them.”
This was recorded by Imam Ahmad; it was also recorded by Muslim in his Sahih, and by At-Tirmidhi.
Allah encourages His servants to hasten to repent, as He says:
39:54
وَ اَنِیۡبُوۡۤا اِلٰی رَبِّکُمۡ وَ اَسۡلِمُوۡا لَہٗ مِنۡ قَبۡلِ اَنۡ یَّاۡتِیَکُمُ الۡعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنۡصَرُوۡنَ ﴿۵۴﴾
And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped.
وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ
And turn in repentance (and in obedience with true faith) to your Lord and submit to Him,
meaning, turn back to Allah and submit yourselves to Him.
مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ
before the torment comes upon you, (and) then you will not be helped.
means, hasten to repent and do righteous deeds before His wrath comes upon you
39:55
وَ اتَّبِعُوۡۤا اَحۡسَنَ مَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَیۡکُمۡ مِّنۡ رَّبِّکُمۡ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِ اَنۡ یَّاۡتِیَکُمُ الۡعَذَابُ بَغۡتَۃً وَّ اَنۡتُمۡ لَا تَشۡعُرُوۡنَ ﴿ۙ۵۵﴾
And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive,
وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم
And follow the best of that which is sent down to you from your Lord,
means, the Qur’an.
مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ العَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ
before the torment comes on you suddenly while you perceive not!
means, without you realizing it
39:56
اَنۡ تَقُوۡلَ نَفۡسٌ یّٰحَسۡرَتٰی عَلٰی مَا فَرَّطۡتُّ فِیۡ جَنۡۢبِ اللّٰہِ وَ اِنۡ کُنۡتُ لَمِنَ السّٰخِرِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۵۶﴾
Lest a soul should say, “Oh [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allah and that I was among the mockers.”
أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَى علَى مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنبِ اللَّهِ
Lest a person should say:”Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allah…”
means, on the Day of Resurrection, the sinner who neglected to repent and turn back to Allah will regret it, and will wish that he had been one of the righteous who obeyed Allah.
وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ
and I was indeed among those who mocked.
means, `my actions in this world were those of one who ridicules and makes fun, not of one who has firm faith and is sincere.’
أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَانِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ
39:57
اَوۡ تَقُوۡلَ لَوۡ اَنَّ اللّٰہَ ہَدٰىنِیۡ لَکُنۡتُ مِنَ الۡمُتَّقِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۵۷﴾
Or [lest] it say, “If only Allah had guided me, I would have been among the righteous.”
أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
39:58
اَوۡ تَقُوۡلَ حِیۡنَ تَرَی الۡعَذَابَ لَوۡ اَنَّ لِیۡ کَرَّۃً فَاَکُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡمُحۡسِنِیۡنَ ﴿۵۸﴾
Or [lest] it say when it sees the punishment, “If only I had another turn so I could be among the doers of good.”
Or (lest) he should say:”If only Allah had guided me, I should indeed have been among those who have Taqwa “. Or he should say when he sees the torment:”If only I had another chance, then I should indeed be among the doers of good.”
means, he will wish that he could go back to this world, so that he could do righteous deeds.
Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“Allah tells us what His servants will say before they say it and what they will do before they do it. He says:
وَلَا يُنَبِّيُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍ
And none can inform you like Him Who is the All-Knower, (35:14)
أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَى علَى مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنبِ اللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ
أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَانِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ
أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Lest a person should say:”Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allah, and I was indeed among those who mocked.” Or he should say:”If only Allah had guided me, I should indeed have been among those who have Taqwa.” Or he should say when he sees the torment:”If only I had another chance, then I should indeed be among the doers of good.”
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said, “The Messenger of Allah said:
كُلُّ أَهْلِ النَّارِ يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّ اللهَ هَدَانِي فَتَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ حَسْرَةً قال وَكُلُّ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ لَوْلَا أَنَّ اللهَ هَدَانِي قال فَيَكُونُ لَهُ شُكْرًا
Each of the people of Hell will be shown his place in Paradise and he will say, “If only Allah had guided me!” so it will be a source of regret for him.
And each of the people of Paradise will be shown his place in Hell and he will say, “If it were not for the fact that Allah guided me,” so it will be a cause of thanks.”
It was also narrated by An-Nasa’i. When the sinners wish that they could return to this world so that they could believe the Ayat of Allah and follow His Messengers, Allah will say:
بَلَى قَدْ جَاءتْكَ ايَاتِي فَكَذَّبْتَ بِهَا وَاسْتَكْبَرْتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ
39:59
بَلٰی قَدۡ جَآءَتۡکَ اٰیٰتِیۡ فَکَذَّبۡتَ بِہَا وَ اسۡتَکۡبَرۡتَ وَ کُنۡتَ مِنَ الۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ ﴿۵۹﴾
But yes, there had come to you My verses, but you denied them and were arrogant, and you were among the disbelievers.
Yes! Verily, there came to you My Ayat and you denied them, and were proud and were among the disbelievers.
meaning, `O you who regret what you did, My Ayat did come to you in the world, and My proof was established against you, but you rejected it and were too arrogant to follow it, and you were among those who disbelieved in it.
39:60
وَ یَوۡمَ الۡقِیٰمَۃِ تَرَی الَّذِیۡنَ کَذَبُوۡا عَلَی اللّٰہِ وُجُوۡہُہُمۡ مُّسۡوَدَّۃٌ ؕ اَلَیۡسَ فِیۡ جَہَنَّمَ مَثۡوًی لِّلۡمُتَکَبِّرِیۡنَ ﴿۶۰﴾
And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied about Allah [with] their faces blackened. Is there not in Hell a residence for the arrogant?
The Consequences for Those Who tell Lies against Allah and for Those Who have Taqwa
Allah tells us that on the Day of Resurrection, some faces will be blackened and some will be whitened. The faces of those who followed splits and divisions will be blackened, and the faces of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah will be whitened.
Allah says here:
وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَرَى الَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَى اللَّهِ
And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allah,
meaning, by their claims that He had partners or offspring.
وُجُوهُهُم مُّسْوَدَّةٌ
their faces will be black.
means, because of their lies and fabrications.
أَلَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ
Is there not in Hell an abode for the arrogant!
means, is not Hell sufficient for them as a prison and humiliating final destination, because of their stubborn pride, arrogance and refusal to follow the truth.
39:61
وَ یُنَجِّی اللّٰہُ الَّذِیۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا بِمَفَازَتِہِمۡ ۫ لَا یَمَسُّہُمُ السُّوۡٓءُ وَ لَا ہُمۡ یَحۡزَنُوۡنَ ﴿۶۱﴾
And Allah will save those who feared Him by their attainment; no evil will touch them, nor will they grieve.
وَيُنَجِّي اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا بِمَفَازَتِهِمْ
And Allah will deliver those who are those who have Taqwa to their places of success.
means, because of what Allah has decreed for them of happiness and victory.
لَاا يَمَسُّهُمُ السُّوءُ
Evil shall touch them not,
means, on the Day of Resurrection.
وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
nor shall they grieve.
means, the greater terror (of that Day) will not cause them grief, for they will be safe from all grief and removed from all evil, and they will attain all that is good
39:62
اَللّٰہُ خَالِقُ کُلِّ شَیۡءٍ ۫ وَّ ہُوَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیۡءٍ وَّکِیۡلٌ ﴿۶۲﴾
Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs.
Allah is the Creator and Controller, and associating others in worship with Him cancels out Good Deeds
Allah tells,
اللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ
Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Trustee over all things.
Allah tells us that He is the Creator, Lord, Sovereign and Controller of all things; everything is subject to His dominion, power and guardianship
39:63
لَہٗ مَقَالِیۡدُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضِ ؕ وَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰہِ اُولٰٓئِکَ ہُمُ الۡخٰسِرُوۡنَ ﴿٪۶۳﴾
To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And they who disbelieve in the verses of Allah – it is those who are the losers.
لَهُ مَقَالِيدُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضِ
To Him belong the Maqalid of the heavens and the earth.
Mujahid said,
“Maqalid means `keys’ in Persian.”
This was also the view of Qatadah, Ibn Zayd and Sufyan bin `Uyaynah.
As-Suddi said:
لَهُ مَقَالِيدُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضِ
(To Him belong the Maqalid of the heavens and the earth),
“The treasures of the heavens and the earth.”
Both opinions mean that the control of all things is in the Hand of Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, for His is the dominion and to Him is the praise, and He is able to do all things.
He says:
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِأيَاتِ اللَّهِ
And those who disbelieve in the Ayat of Allah,
meaning, His proof and evidence,
أُوْلَيِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ
such are they who will be the losers.
قُلْ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَأْمُرُونِّي أَعْبُدُ أَيُّهَا الْجَاهِلُونَ
39:64
قُلۡ اَفَغَیۡرَ اللّٰہِ تَاۡمُرُوۡٓنِّیۡۤ اَعۡبُدُ اَیُّہَا الۡجٰہِلُوۡنَ ﴿۶۴﴾
Say, [O Muhammad], “Is it other than Allah that you order me to worship, O ignorant ones?”
Say:
“Do you order me to worship other than Allah O you fools!”
The reason for the revelation of this Ayah was narrated by Ibn Abi Hatim and others from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that the idolators in their ignorance called the Messenger of Allah to worship their gods, then they would worship his God with him. Then these words were revealed:
قُلْ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَأْمُرُونِّي أَعْبُدُ أَيُّهَا الْجَاهِلُونَ
وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَيِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
39:65
وَ لَقَدۡ اُوۡحِیَ اِلَیۡکَ وَ اِلَی الَّذِیۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِکَ ۚ لَئِنۡ اَشۡرَکۡتَ لَیَحۡبَطَنَّ عَمَلُکَ وَ لَتَکُوۡنَنَّ مِنَ الۡخٰسِرِیۡنَ ﴿۶۵﴾
And it was already revealed to you and to those before you that if you should associate [anything] with Allah, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers.”
Say:”Do you order me to worship other than Allah O you fools!” And indeed it has been revealed to you, as it was to those before you:”If you join others in worship with Allah, surely your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers.”
This is like the Ayah:
وَلَوْ أَشْرَكُواْ لَحَبِطَ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ
But if they had joined in worship others with Allah, all that they used to do would have been of no benefit to them. (6:88)
بَلِ اللَّهَ فَاعْبُدْ وَكُن مِّنْ الشَّاكِرِينَ
39:66
بَلِ اللّٰہَ فَاعۡبُدۡ وَ کُنۡ مِّنَ الشّٰکِرِیۡنَ ﴿۶۶﴾
Rather, worship [only] Allah and be among the grateful.
Nay! But worship Allah, and be among the grateful.
means, `you and those who follow you and believe in you should make your worship sincerely for Allah Alone, with no partner or associate.
39:67
وَ مَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰہَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِہٖ ٭ۖ وَ الۡاَرۡضُ جَمِیۡعًا قَبۡضَتُہٗ یَوۡمَ الۡقِیٰمَۃِ وَ السَّمٰوٰتُ مَطۡوِیّٰتٌۢ بِیَمِیۡنِہٖ ؕ سُبۡحٰنَہٗ وَ تَعٰلٰی عَمَّا یُشۡرِکُوۡنَ ﴿۶۷﴾
They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal, while the earth entirely will be [within] His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.
The Idolators did not make a just Estimate of Allah such as is due to Him
Allah states;
وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ
وَالاْاَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّماوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him.
means, the idolators did not give Allah His due when they worshipped others alongside Him. He is the Almighty, and there is none mightier than Him; He is the One Who is able to do all things; He is the Owner of all things and everything is under His control and power.
Mujahid said,
“This was revealed concerning Quraysh.”
As-Suddi said,
“They did not venerate Him as He deserves to be venerated.”
Muhammad bin Ka`b said,
“If they had made a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him, they would not have lied.”
Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ
(They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him),
“These are the disbeliever who did not believe that Allah had power over them. Whoever believes that Allah is able to do all things, has made a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him, and whoever does not believe that, has not made a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him.”
Many Hadiths have been narrated concerning this Ayah and how it and other Ayat like it are to be interpreted and accepted without any attempts to twist or change the meaning.
Concerning the Ayah,
وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ
(They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him), Al-Bukhari recorded that Abdullah bin Mas`ud, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“One of the rabbis came to the Messenger of Allah and said, `O Muhammad! We learn that Allah will put the heavens on one finger, the earths on one finger, the trees on one finger, the water and dust on one finger, and the rest of creation on one finger, then He will say:I am the King.’ The Messenger of Allah smiled so broadly that his molars could be seen, in confirmation of what the rabbi had said. Then the Messenger of Allah recited:
وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ
وَالاْاَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand.”
Al-Bukhari also recorded this in other places of his Sahih.
It was also recorded by Imam Ahmad and Muslim, and by At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa’i in the (books of) Tafsir in their Sunans.
Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“I heard the Messenger of Allah say:
يَقْبِضُ اللهُ تَعَالَى الاَْرْضَ وَيَطْوِي السَّمَاءَ بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ أَيْنَ مُلُوكُ الاَْرْضِ
Allah will grasp the earth and roll up the heavens in His Right Hand, then He will say:”I am the King, where are the kings of the earth.””
This version was recorded only by Al-Bukhari;
Muslim recorded another version.
Al-Bukhari also recorded from Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah said:
إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقْبِضُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الاَْرَضِينَ عَلَى أُصْبُعٍ وَتَكُونُ السَّموَاتُ بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا الْمَلِك
On the Day of Resurrection, Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, will grasp the earth with one finger, and the heavens will be in His Right Hand, then He will say, “I am the King.”
This version was also recorded by Al-Bukhari.
It is recorded that Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“The Messenger of Allah recited this Ayah on the Minbar one day:
وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالاَْرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّماوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. On the Day of Resurrection the whole earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified be He, and High be He above all that they associate as partners with Him!
The Messenger of Allah said while moving his hand forward and backward:
يُمَجِّدُ الرَّبُّ نَفْسَهُ أَنَا الْجَبَّارُ أَنَا الْمُتَكَبِّرُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ أَنَا الْعَزِيزُ أَنَا الْكَرِيم
And the Lord will glorify Himself, saying “I am Compeller, I am the Proud, I am the King, I am the Mighty, I am the Most Generous.”
And the Minbar shook so much that we feared that the Messenger of Allah would fall.”
This was also recorded by Muslim, An-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah
39:68
وَ نُفِخَ فِی الصُّوۡرِ فَصَعِقَ مَنۡ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَنۡ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ اِلَّا مَنۡ شَآءَ اللّٰہُ ؕ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِیۡہِ اُخۡرٰی فَاِذَا ہُمۡ قِیَامٌ یَّنۡظُرُوۡنَ ﴿۶۸﴾
And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allah wills. Then it will be blown again, and at once they will be standing, looking on.
The Blast of the Trumpet, the Judgement and the Recompense
Allah tells us about the terrors of the Day of Judgement, with its mighty signs and terrifying upheaval.
وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَن فِي الاَْرْضِ إِلاَّ مَن شَاء اللَّهُ
And the Trumpet will be blown and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah wills.
This will be the second trumpet-blast, which will cause people to die. By this trumpet-blast, everyone who is alive in the heavens and on earth will be caused to die, except for him whom Allah wills. Then the souls of the remaining creatures will be taken, until the last one to die will be the Angel of Death, and there will be left only the Ever Living, Eternal One, Who was there in the beginning and will be at the end, forever.
He will say three times,
لِّمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْم
(“Whose is the kingdom this day”),
then He will answer Himself:
لِلَّهِ الْوَحِدِ الْقَهَّار
(“It is Allah’s, the One, the Irresistible!”) (40:16)
`I am the One existing Alone, I subjugated all things and I decreed that all things must come to an end.’
Then the first one to be brought back to life will be Israfil, and Allah will command him to sound the Trumpet again. This will be the third trumpet-blast, the trumpet-blast of Resurrection.
Allah says:
ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَإِذَا هُم قِيَامٌ يَنظُرُونَ
Then it will be blown another time, and behold they will be standing, looking on.
means, after they have been bones and dust, they will come alive, looking at the terrors of the Day of Resurrection.
This is like the Ayat:
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْبِالسَّاهِرَةِ
But it will be only a single Zajrah, when behold, they find themselves alive. (79:13-14)
يَوْمَ يَدْعُوكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلً
On the Day when He will call you, and you will respond with His praise, and you will think that you have stayed (in this world) but a little while! (17:52)
and,
وَمِنْ ءَايَـتِهِ أَن تَقُومَ السَّمَأءُ وَالاٌّرْضُ بِأَمْرِهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ دَعْوَةً مِّنَ الاٌّرْضِ إِذَا أَنتُمْ تَخْرُجُونَ
And among His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand by His command. Then afterwards when He will call you by a single call, behold, you will come out from the earth. (30:25)
Imam Ahmad recorded that a man said to Abdullah bin `Amr, may Allah be pleased with him,
“You say that the Hour will come at such and such time.”
He said, “I thought that I would not narrate to you anymore. All that I said was that after a little while you would see something of great importance.”
Abdullah bin `Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“The Messenger of Allah said:
يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ فِي أُمَّتِي فَيَمْكُثُ فِيهِمْ أَرْبَعِينَ
The Dajjal will emerge in my Ummah and he will stay among them for forty.
I do not know whether he said forty days or forty months or forty years or forty nights.
فَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ تَعَالَى عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَةُ وَالسَّلَمُ كَأَنَّهُ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ فَيَظْهَرُ فَيُهْلِكُهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ يَلْبَثُ النَّاسُ بَعْدَهُ سِنِينَ سَبْعًا لَيْسَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ عَدَاوَةٌ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللهُ تَعَالَى رِيحًا بَارِدَةً مِنْ قِبَلِ الشَّامِ فَلَ يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ إِلاَّ قَبَضَتْهُ حَتْى لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ كَانَ فِي كَبِدِ جَبَلٍ لَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْه
Then Allah will send `Isa bin Maryam, peace be upon him, who resembles `Urwah bin Mas`ud Ath-Thaqafi, and he will prevail. Allah will destroy him (the Dajjal), then after that mankind will live for seven years with no enmity between any two people. Then Allah will send a cool wind from the direction of Ash-Sham, which will take the soul of every person who has even a speck of faith in his heart; even if one of them were to be inside the heart of a mountain, it would enter upon him.”
He said, “I heard it from the Messenger of Allah :
وَيَبْقَى شِرَارُ النَّاسِ فِي خِفَّةِ الطَّيْرِ وَأَحْلَمِ السِّبَاع لَا يَعْرِفُونَ مَعْرُوفًا وَلَا يُنْكِرُونَ مُنْكَرًا قال فَيَتَمَثَّلُ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَيَقُولُ أَلَا تَسْتَجِيبُونَ فَيَأْمُرُهُمْ بِعِبَادَةِ الاَْوْثَانِ فَيَعْبُدُونَهَا وَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ دَارَّةٌ أَرْزَاقُهُمْ حَسَنٌ عَيْشُهُمْ ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَلَ يَسْمَعُهُ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ أَصْغَى لَهُ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَسْمَعُهُ رَجُلٌ يَلُوطُ حَوْضَهُ فَيَصْعَقُ ثُمَّ لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ صَعِقَ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللهُ تَعَالَى أَوْ يُنْزِلُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَطَرًا كَأَنَّهُ الطَّلُّ أَوِ الظِّلُّ شك نعمان فَتَنْبُتُ مِنْهُ أَجْسَادُ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنْظُرُونَ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَلُمُّوا إِلى رَبِّكُمْ
وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَّسْيُولُونَ
There will be left the most evil of people, as light as birds and with the hard hearts of wild predators. They will not recognize any good or denounce any evil.
Then Shaytan will appear to them and say, “Will you not obey me?”
Then he will command them to worship idols and they will worship them. At that time they will have ample provision and a good standard of living. Then the Trumpet will be blown, and no one will hear it but he will tilt his head to listen. The first one to hear it will be a man who is filling his water trough, and he will die when he hears it. Then there will be no one left who has not died.
Then Allah will send) — or — send down (rain like drizzle) — or — shade — An-Nu`man (one of the narrators) was not sure of its wording (from which the bodies of the people will grow.
Then the Trumpet will be blown once more, and they will be standing, looking on. Then it will be said,
“O mankind, come to your Lord,
وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَّسْيُولُونَ
(But stop them, verily, they are to be questioned), (37:24) Then it will be said,
أَخْرِجُوا بَعْثَ النَّارِ قال فيُقَالُ كَمْ فَيُقَالُ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعَمِايَةٍ وَتِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ فَيَوْمَيِذٍ يُبْعَثُ الْوِلْدَانُ شِيبًا وَيَوْمَيِذٍ يُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاق
“Send forth the people of Hell.”
It will be said, “How many’?’
It will said, “From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety- nine.”
On that Day, children will be resurrected gray-haired, and on that Day the Shin will be laid bare.”
This was recorded by Muslim in his Sahih.
Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Prophet said:
مَا بَيْنَ النَّفْخَتَيْنِ أَرْبَعُون
Between the two blasts, there will be only forty.
They said, “O Abu Hurayrah, forty days?”
He, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “I do not know.”
They said, “Forty years?”
He said, “I do not know.”
They said, “Forty months?”
He said, “I do not know.”
وَيَبْلَى كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الاِْنْسَانِ إِلاَّ عَجْبَ ذَنَبِهِ فِيهِ يُرَكَّبُ الْخَلْق
Every part of a man will disintegrate apart from the root of his backbone, and out of that he will be created anew.
Allah’s statement,
39:69
وَ اَشۡرَقَتِ الۡاَرۡضُ بِنُوۡرِ رَبِّہَا وَ وُضِعَ الۡکِتٰبُ وَ جِایۡٓءَ بِالنَّبِیّٖنَ وَ الشُّہَدَآءِ وَ قُضِیَ بَیۡنَہُمۡ بِالۡحَقِّ وَ ہُمۡ لَا یُظۡلَمُوۡنَ ﴿۶۹﴾
And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord, and the record [of deeds] will be placed, and the prophets and the witnesses will be brought, and it will be judged between them in truth, and they will not be wronged.
وَأَشْرَقَتِ الاْأَرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا
And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord,
means, it will shine brightly on the Day of Resurrection when the Truth (Allah), may He be glorified and exalted, manifests Himself to His creation, to pass judgement.
وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ
and the Book will be presented.
Qatadah said,
“The Book of deeds.”
وَجِيءَ بِالنَّبِيِّينَ
and the Prophets will be brought forward,
Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“They will bear witness against the nations, testifying that they conveyed the Message of Allah to them.”
وَالشُّهَدَاء
and the witnesses,
means, witnesses from among the angels who record the deeds of all, good and evil alike.
وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُم بِالْحَقِّ
and it will be judged between them with truth,
means, with justice.
وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
and they will not be wronged.
Allah says:
وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَزِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَـمَةِ فَلَ تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْياً وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا وَكَفَى بِنَا حَـسِبِينَ
And We shall setup Balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection, then none will be dealt with unjustly in anything. And if there be the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it. And Sufficient are We to take account. (21:47)
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَـعِفْهَا وَيُوْتِ مِن لَّدُنْهُ أَجْراً عَظِيماً
Surely, Allah wrongs not even of the weight of a speck of dust, but if there is any good (done), He doubles it, and gives from Him a great reward. (4:40)
Allah says
39:70
وَ وُفِّیَتۡ کُلُّ نَفۡسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ وَ ہُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا یَفۡعَلُوۡنَ ﴿٪۷۰﴾
And every soul will be fully compensated [for] what it did; and He is most knowing of what they do.
وَوُفِّيَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ
And each person will be paid in full of what he did;
meaning, of good and evil.
وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ
and He is Best Aware of what they do
39:71
وَ سِیۡقَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡۤا اِلٰی جَہَنَّمَ زُمَرًا ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَآءُوۡہَا فُتِحَتۡ اَبۡوَابُہَا وَ قَالَ لَہُمۡ خَزَنَتُہَاۤ اَلَمۡ یَاۡتِکُمۡ رُسُلٌ مِّنۡکُمۡ یَتۡلُوۡنَ عَلَیۡکُمۡ اٰیٰتِ رَبِّکُمۡ وَ یُنۡذِرُوۡنَکُمۡ لِقَآءَ یَوۡمِکُمۡ ہٰذَا ؕ قَالُوۡا بَلٰی وَ لٰکِنۡ حَقَّتۡ کَلِمَۃُ الۡعَذَابِ عَلَی الۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ ﴿۷۱﴾
And those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in groups until, when they reach it, its gates are opened and its keepers will say, “Did there not come to you messengers from yourselves, reciting to you the verses of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?” They will say, “Yes, but the word of punishment has come into effect upon the disbelievers.
How the Disbelievers will be driven to Hell
Allah informs,
وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًا
And those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in groups,
Allah tells us how the doomed disbeliever will be driven to Hell by force, with threats and warnings.
This is like the Ayah:
يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا
The Day when they will be pushed down by force to the fire of Hell, with a horrible, forceful pushing. (52:13)
which means, they will be pushed and forced towards it, and they will be extremely thirsty, as Allah says:
يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى الرَّحْمَـنِ وَفْداً وَنَسُوقُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ وِرْداً
The Day We shall gather those who have Taqwa unto the Most Gracious, like a delegation. And We shall drive the criminals to Hell, in a thirsty state. (19:85-86)
When they are in that state, they will be blind, dumb and deaf, and some of them will be walking on their faces:
وَنَحْشُرُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ عُمْيًا وَبُكْمًا وَصُمًّا مَّأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنَاهُمْ سَعِيرًا
and We shall gather them together on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf; their abode will be Hell; whenever it abates, We shall increase for them the fierceness of the Fire. (17:97)
حَتَّى إِذَا جَاوُوهَا فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا
till when they reach it, the gates thereof will be opened.
means, as soon as they arrive, the gates will be opened quickly, in order to hasten on their punishment.
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا
And its keepers will say:
Then the keepers of Hell, who are stern angels, severe and strong, will say to them by way of rebuking and reprimanding:
أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ
Did not the Messengers come to you from yourselves,
meaning, `of your own kind, so that you could have spoken to them and learned from them,’
يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ ايَاتِ رَبِّكُمْ
reciting to you the Ayat of your Lord,
means, `establishing proof against you that what they brought to you was true,’
وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَاء يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا
and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours,
means, `warning you of the evil of this Day.’
:
قَالُوا بَلَى
They will say, “Yes”,
meaning, the disbeliever will say to them that they did come to us and warn us and establish proof and evidence against us,’
وَلَكِنْ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ
but the Word of torment has been justified against the disbelievers!
means, `but we rejected them and went against them, because we were already doomed, as it was decreed that we would be, because we had turned away from the truth towards falsehood.’
This is like the Ayat:
كُلَّمَا أُلْقِيَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌ
قَالُوا بَلَى قَدْ جَاءنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ
إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلاَّ فِي ضَلَلٍ كَبِيرٍ
وَقَالُوا لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِي أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ
Every time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask:”Did no warner come to you” They will say:”Yes, indeed a warner came to us, but we denied him and said:`Allah never revealed anything; you are only in great error.”‘ And they will say:”Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!” (67:8-10)
which means, they will feel regret and will blame themselves.
فَاعْتَرَفُوا بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لاَِّصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ
Then they will confess their sin. So, away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire! (67:11)
means, they are lost and doomed
39:72
قِیۡلَ ادۡخُلُوۡۤا اَبۡوَابَ جَہَنَّمَ خٰلِدِیۡنَ فِیۡہَا ۚ فَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَی الۡمُتَکَبِّرِیۡنَ ﴿۷۲﴾
[To them] it will be said, “Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant.”
قِيلَ ادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا
It will be said (to them):”Enter you the gates of Hell, to abide therein…”
means everyone who sees them and the situation they are in, will testify that they deserve the punishment.
These words are not attributed to any specific person, but they are said as an indication that the entire universe will bear witness that they deserve what they are suffering, in accordance with the judgement of the Most Just, the All-Knowing.
Allah says:
قِيلَ ادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا
(It will be said (to them):”Enter you the gates of Hell, to abide therein…”),
meaning, `to stay there forever; you will never leave or depart.’
فَبِيْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ
And (indeed) what an evil abode of the arrogant!
means, `what an evil destiny and what an evil place to stay, because of your arrogance in this world and your refusal to follow the truth; this is what has led you to this, what an evil state and what an evil final destination!
39:73
وَ سِیۡقَ الَّذِیۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا رَبَّہُمۡ اِلَی الۡجَنَّۃِ زُمَرًا ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَآءُوۡہَا وَ فُتِحَتۡ اَبۡوَابُہَا وَ قَالَ لَہُمۡ خَزَنَتُہَا سَلٰمٌ عَلَیۡکُمۡ طِبۡتُمۡ فَادۡخُلُوۡہَا خٰلِدِیۡنَ ﴿۷۳﴾
But those who feared their Lord will be driven to Paradise in groups until, when they reach it while its gates have been opened and its keepers say, “Peace be upon you; you have become pure; so enter it to abide eternally therein,” [they will enter].
The Believers will be taken to Paradise Here
Allah tells,
وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ زُمَرًا
And those who had Taqwa will be led to Paradise in groups,
Allah tells us about the blessed believers, who will be taken to Paradise in groups, one group after another, starting with the best of them:those who are closest to Allah, then the most righteous, then the next best and the next best. Each group will be with others like them, Prophets with Prophets, the true believers with their peers, the martyrs with their counterparts, the scholars with their colleagues, every group composed of people of the same kind.
حَتَّى إِذَا جَاوُوهَا
till when they reach it,
means, when they arrive at the gates of Paradise, after passing over the Sirat, where they will be detained on a bridge between Paradise and Hell, and any injustices that existed between them in this world will be settled until they have all been purified from sin through this trial. Then permission will be granted for them to enter Paradise.
It was recorded in the Hadith about the Trumpet that when the believers reach the gates of Paradise, they will consult one another as to who should ask permission for them to enter. They will ask Adam, then Nuh, then Ibrahim, then Musa, then `Isa, then Muhammad (may blessings and peace be upon them all). This is akin to what will happen in the arena of judgement, when they will ask for someone to intercede for them with Allah when He comes to pass judgement. This is to show the noble position of Muhammad above the rest of mankind in all situations.
In Sahih Muslim, it is reported that Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“The Messenger of Allah said:
أَنَا أَوَّلُ شَفِيعٍ فِي الْجَنَّة
I will be the first intercessor in Paradise.
According to the wording of Muslim:
وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَقْرَعُ بَابَ الْجَنَّة
I will be the first one to knock at the gates of Paradise.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“The Messenger of Allah said:
اتِي بَابَ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَسْتَفْتِحُ فَيَقُولُ الْخَازِنُ مَنْ أَنْتَ فَأَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ بِكَ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ لَا أَفْتَحَ لاَِحَدٍ قَبْلَك
I will come to the gate of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection and will ask for it to be opened.
The gatekeeper will say, “Who are you?”
I will say “Muhammad.”
He will say, “I was told about you and that I was not to open the gate for anyone before you.””
It was also recorded by Muslim.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“The Messenger of Allah said:
أَوَّلُ زُمْرَةٍ تَلِجُ الْجَنَّـةَ صُوَرُهُمْ عَلَى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ لَا يَبْصُقُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَمْتَخِطُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَتَغَوَّطُونَ فِيهَا انِيَتُهُمْ وَأَمْشَاطُهُمُ الذَّهَبُ وَالْفِضَّةُ وَمَجَامِرُهُمُ الاَْلُوَّةُ وَرَشْحُهُمُ الْمِسْكُ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَتَانِ يُرَى مُخُّ سَاقِهِمَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ اللَّحْمِ مِنَ الْحُسْنِ لَا اخْتِلَفَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَلَا تَبَاغُضَ قُلُوبُهُمْ عَلى قَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ يُسَبِّحُونَ اللهَ تَعَالَى بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا
The first group to enter Paradise will enter looking like the moon on the night when it is full. They will not spit there, or blow their noses, or defecate. Their vessels and combs will be of gold and silver, their censers will be of aloes wood and their sweat will be musk. Each of them will have two wives, the marrow of whose shin bones will be visible from beneath the skin because of their beauty. There will be no disputes between them and there will be no hatred; their hearts will be as if one heart. They will glorify Allah morning and evening.”
This was also recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
Al-Hafiz Abu Ya`la recorded that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“The Messenger of Allah said:
أَوَّلُ زُمْرَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ عَلى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ وَالَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ عَلى ضَوْءِ أَشَدِّ كَوْكَبٍ دُرِّيَ فِي السَّمَاءِ إِضَاءَةً لَا يَبُولُونَ وَلَا يَتَغَوَّطُونَ وَلَا يَتْفِلُونَ وَلَا يَمْتَخِطُونَ أَمْشَاطُهُمُ الذَّهَبُ وَرَشْحُهُمُ الْمِسْكُ وَمَجَامِرُهُمُ الاَْلُوَّةُ وَأَزْوَاجُهُمُ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ أَخْلَقُهُمْ عَلى خُلُقِ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ عَلى صُورَةِ أَبِيهِمْ ادَمَ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا فِي السَّمَاء
The first group to enter Paradise will look like the moon on the night when it is full. They will be followed by a group which looks like the brightest star shining in the sky. They will not urinate or defecate or spit or blow their noses. Their combs will be of gold, their sweat will be musk and their censers will be of aloes wood. Their wives will be Al-Hur Al-`Iyn, and they will all look the same, as if they are one person in the image of their father Adam, sixty cubits tall.”
They (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) also produced this from the Hadith of Jabir.
It was reported that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“The Messenger of Allah said:
يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي زُمْرَةٌ هُمْ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا تُضِيءُ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِضَاءَةَ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْر
A group of my Ummah, seventy thousand, will enter Paradise with their faces shining like the moon on the night when it is full.
Ukkashah bin Mihsan stood up and said, `O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them.’
He said,
اللْهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مِنْهُم
O Allah, make him one of them.
Then one of the Ansar stood up and said, `O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them.’
He said,
سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَة
Ukkashah has beaten you to it.”
This was recorded by (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
This Hadith — about the seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being brought to account — was also recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Jabir bin Abdullah, Imran bin Husayn, Ibn Mas`ud, Rifa`ah bin Arabah Al-Juhani and Umm Qays bint Mihsan — may Allah be pleased with them all — and also from Abu Hazim from Sahl bin Sa`d, may Allah be pleased with them, who said that the Messenger of Allah said:
لَيَدْخُلَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا أَوْ سَبْعُمِايَةِ أَلْفٍ اخِذٌ بَعْضُهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ حَتْى يَدْخُلَ أَوَّلُهُمْ وَاخِرُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ وُجُوهُهُمْ عَلى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْر
Seventy thousand or seven hundred thousand of my Ummah will surely enter Paradise, holding on to one another, such that the first and last of them will enter Paradise together, with their faces looking like the moon on the night when it is full.”
حَتَّى إِذَا جَاوُوهَا وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلَمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوهَا خَالِدِينَ
till when they reach it, and its gates will be opened and its keepers will say:”Salam `Alaykum (peace be upon you)! You have done well, so enter here to abide therein forever.”
This is a conditional sentence that is not complete. What it implies is that when they come to the gates of Paradise the gates will be opened for them as a sign of honor, and the angelic gatekeepers will meet them with glad tidings, greetings of peace and praise. Unlike the gatekeepers of Hell who will meet the disbelievers with rebuke and reprimand, the believers will be filled with happiness and joy, each according to his degree of luxury and delights. What happens after this is not mentioned; it is left for the imagination to think of its dearest wishes and be filled with hope. It is known from the Sahih Hadiths that Paradise has eight gates.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“The Messenger of Allah said:
مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ مَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى دُعِيَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَلِلْجَنَّةِ أَبْوَابٌ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّلَةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّلَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجِهَادِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الْجِهَادِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصِّيَامِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الرَّيَّان
Whoever spends a pair of something from his wealth for the sake of Allah, will be called from the gates of Paradise. Paradise has (several) gates. Whoever is among the people of prayer, will be called from the gate of Prayer; whoever is among the people of charity, will be called from the gate of Charity; whoever is among the people of Jihad, will be called from the gate of Jihad; whoever is among the people of fasting, will be called from the Gate of Ar-Rayyan.”
Abu Bakr said, `O Messenger of Allah, it does not matter from which gate one is called, but will anyone be called from all of them?’
He said,
نَعَمْ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُم
Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them.”
Something similar was also recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
It was reported from Sahl bin Sa`d, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah said:
إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَبْوَابٍ بَابٌ مِنْهَا يُسَمَّى الرَّيَّانَ لَا يَدْخُلُهُ إِلاَّ الصَّايِمُون
In Paradise there are eight gates; one of them is called Ar-Rayyan, and no one will enter it except those who fast.”
In Sahih Muslim, it is recorded that `Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
“The Messenger of Allah said:
مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُبْلِغُ أَوْ فَيُسْبِغُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
إِلاَّ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاء
There is no one among you who performs Wudu’ and does it well, or — amply –, then he says:
“I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger,”
but the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him and he will enter through whichever one he wishes.”
We ask Allah to make us among its people.
The Width of the Gates of Paradise
In the Two Sahihs, it is reported from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, in the lengthy Hadith about intercession (that the Prophet said):
فَيَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَدْخِلْ مَنْ لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ مِنَ الْبَابِ الاَْيْمَنِ وَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ النَّاسِ فِي الاَْبْوَابِ الاُخَرِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ مَا بَيْنَ الْمِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الْجَنَّةِ مَا بَيْنَ عِضَادَتَيِ الْبَابِ لَكَمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَهَجَرٍ أَوْ هَجَرٍ وَمَكَّةَ وفي رواية مَكَّةَ وَبُصْرَى
Allah will say:
“O Muhammad, admit those of your Ummah who are not to be brought to account, through the right-hand gate, and they will be counted among those who will enter from other gates as well.”
By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, the distance between the two gateposts of the gates of Paradise is like the distance between Makkah and Hajar — or Hajar and Makkah.”
According to another report:(between Makkah and Busra).
It was recorded in Sahih Muslim from `Utbah bin Ghazwan that (the Prophet) gave them a speech in which he told them that the distance between the two gateposts of Paradise was the distance of a forty-year journey, but there would come a day when they would be packed with crowds of people.
Allah says,
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلَمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ
(and its keepers will say:”Salam `Alaykum (peace be upon you)! You have done well,”)
meaning, `your deeds and words were good, and your efforts were good, and your reward is good.’
The Messenger of Allah issued commands during some of his military campaigns that it should be shouted out to the Muslims:
إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا إِلاَّ نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ وفي رواية مُوْمِنَة
“No one enters Paradise except a Muslim soul, or, according to one report, (A believing soul.)”
Allah says,
فَادْخُلُوهَا خَالِدِين
(so enter here to abide therein forever),
means, to dwell therein, never seeking any change
39:74
وَ قَالُوا الۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِیۡ صَدَقَنَا وَعۡدَہٗ وَ اَوۡرَثَنَا الۡاَرۡضَ نَتَبَوَّاُ مِنَ الۡجَنَّۃِ حَیۡثُ نَشَآءُ ۚ فَنِعۡمَ اَجۡرُ الۡعٰمِلِیۡنَ ﴿۷۴﴾
And they will say, “Praise to Allah, who has fulfilled for us His promise and made us inherit the earth [so] we may settle in Paradise wherever we will. And excellent is the reward of [righteous] workers.”
وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَدَقَنَا وَعْدَهُ
And they will say:”All the praises and thanks be to Allah Who has fulfilled His promise to us…”
means, when the believers see the great reward and splendors, blessing and grand generosity, they will say,
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَدَقَنَا وَعْدَهُ
(All the praises and thanks be to Allah Who has fulfilled His promise to us), meaning,
`the promise which He made to us through His Messengers who called us to this in the world.’
رَبَّنَا وَءَاتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَى رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ
Our Lord! Grant us what You promised unto us through Your Messengers and disgrace us not on the Day of Resurrection, for You never break (Your) promise. (3:194)
وَقَالُواْ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِى هَدَانَا لِهَـذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِىَ لَوْلا أَنْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ لَقَدْ جَأءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ
and they will say:”All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has guided us to this, and never could we have found guidance, were it not that Allah had guided us! Indeed, the Messengers of our Lord came with the truth.” (7:43)
and,
وَقَالُواْ الْحَمْدُ للَّهِ الَّذِى أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ
الَّذِى أَحَلَّنَا دَارَ الْمُقَامَةِ مِن فَضْلِهِ لَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَلَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيهَا لُغُوبٌ
And they will say:”All the praises and thanks be to Allah Who has removed from us (all) grief. Verily, our Lord is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (good deeds). Who, out of His grace, has lodged us in a home that will last forever, where toil will touch us not nor weariness will touch us.” (35:34-35)
وَأَوْرَثَنَا الاْأَرْضَ
and has made us inherit the land.
وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِن بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الاَْرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ
And indeed We have written in Az-Zabur after Adh-Dhikr that My righteous servants shall inherit the land. (21:105)
they will say:
نَتَبَوَّأُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ نَشَاء
We can dwell in Paradise where we will,
meaning, `wherever we want, we can settle; how excellent a reward for our efforts.’
In the Two Sahihs, it was reported in the story of the Mi`raj which was narrated by Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet said:
أُدْخِلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا فِيهَا جَنَابِذُ اللُّوْلُوِ وَإِذَا تُرَابُهَا الْمِسْك
I was admitted into Paradise where I saw that its domes were pearls and its soil was musk.”
فَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِينَ
how excellent a reward for the workers!
39:75
وَ تَرَی الۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃَ حَآفِّیۡنَ مِنۡ حَوۡلِ الۡعَرۡشِ یُسَبِّحُوۡنَ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّہِمۡ ۚ وَ قُضِیَ بَیۡنَہُمۡ بِالۡحَقِّ وَ قِیۡلَ الۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰہِ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِیۡنَ ﴿٪۷۵﴾
And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne, exalting [ Allah ] with praise of their Lord. And it will be judged between them in truth, and it will be said, “[All] praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.”
Allah tells,
وَتَرَى الْمَلَيِكَةَ حَافِّينَ مِنْ حَوْلِ الْعَرْشِ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ
And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne from all round, glorifying the praises of their Lord.
Allah tells us how He will pass judgement on the people of Paradise and Hell, and put each of them in the place fitting for him and for which he is suited; this is justice from Him and He is never unjust.
Then He tells us of His angels who surround His majestic Throne, glorifying the praises of their Lord, extolling and magnifying Him, and declaring Him to be above any shortcomings or injustice whatsoever, for He has passed judgement in the fairest and most just manner.
He says:
وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُم
And they will be judged,
meaning, all of creation.
بِالْحَقِّ
with truth.
Then He says:
وَقِيلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And it will be said,
“All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exits.”
meaning, all of creation, whether animate or inanimate, will speak words of praise to Allah, the Lord of all that exists, for His wisdom and justice. These words are not attributed to any specific speaker, which indicates that the whole of creation will testify to His praise.
Qatadah said,
“Allah began His creation with praise, as He said,
الْحَمْدُ للَّهِ الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ
All praises and thanks be to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth (6:1).
and He ended it with praise, as He says:
وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُم بِالْحَقِّ وَقِيلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And they will be judged with truth. And it will be said, “All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.”.”
This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Az-Zumzr. All praise and thanks are due to Allah and in Him is all strength and protection
