42:21

اَمۡ لَہُمۡ شُرَکٰٓؤُا شَرَعُوۡا لَہُمۡ مِّنَ الدِّیۡنِ مَا لَمۡ یَاۡذَنۡۢ بِہِ اللّٰہُ ؕ وَ لَوۡ لَا کَلِمَۃُ الۡفَصۡلِ لَقُضِیَ بَیۡنَہُمۡ ؕ وَ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیۡنَ لَہُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِیۡمٌ ﴿۲۱﴾
Or have they other deities who have ordained for them a religion to which Allah has not consented? But if not for the decisive word, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, the wrongdoers will have a painful punishment.

 

أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاء شَرَعُوا لَهُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَن بِهِ اللَّهُ

Or have they partners with Allah who have instituted for them a religion which Allah has not ordained?

means, they do not follow what Allah has ordained for you of upright religion; on the contrary, they follow what their devils (Shayatin), of men and Jinn, have prescribed for them. They instituted taboos, such as the Bahirah, Sa’ibah, Wasilah or Ham. They also permitted eating flesh and blood of animals not slaughtered for consumption, gambling and other kinds of misguidance, ignorance and falsehood. These are things that they invented during Jahiliyyah, when they came up with all kinds of false rulings on what was permitted and what was forbidden, and false rites of worship and other corrupt ideas.

It was recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah said:

رَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ لُحَيِّ بْنِ قَمَعَةَ يَجُرُّ قُصْبَهُ فِي النَّار

I saw `Amr bin Luhayy bin Qama`ah dragging his intestines in Hell — (because he had been the first one to introduce the idea of the Sa’ibah).

This man was one of the kings of the Khuza`ah tribe, and he was the first one to do these things. He was the one who had made the Quraysh worship idols, may the curse of Allah be upon him.

Allah said:

وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ

And had it not been for a decisive Word, the matter would have been judged between them.

means, the punishment would have been hastened for them, were it not for the fact that it had already been decreed that it would be delayed until the Day of Resurrection.

وَإِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

And verily, for the wrongdoers there is a painful torment.

i.e., an agonizing torment in Hell, what a terrible destination.
The Terror of the Idolators in the Place of Gathering

Allah says;

42:22
تَرَی الظّٰلِمِیۡنَ مُشۡفِقِیۡنَ مِمَّا کَسَبُوۡا وَ ہُوَ وَاقِعٌۢ بِہِمۡ ؕ وَ الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فِیۡ رَوۡضٰتِ الۡجَنّٰتِ ۚ لَہُمۡ مَّا یَشَآءُوۡنَ عِنۡدَ رَبِّہِمۡ ؕ ذٰلِکَ ہُوَ الۡفَضۡلُ الۡکَبِیۡرُ ﴿۲۲﴾
You will see the wrongdoers fearful of what they have earned, and it will [certainly] befall them. And those who have believed and done righteous deeds will be in lush regions of the gardens [in Paradise] having whatever they will in the presence of their Lord. That is what is the great bounty.

 

تَرَى الظَّالِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا

You will see the wrongdoers fearful of that which they have earned,

means, in the arena of Resurrection.

وَهُوَ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ

and it will surely befall them.

means, the thing that they fear will undoubtedly happen to them. This is how they will be on the Day of Resurrection; they will be in a state of utter fear and terror.

وَالَّذِينَ امَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فِي رَوْضَاتِ الْجَنَّاتِ

لَهُم مَّا يَشَاوُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ

But those who believe and do righteous deeds (will be) in the flowering meadows of the Gardens. They shall have whatsoever they desire with their Lord.

What comparison can there be between the former and the latter How can the one who will be in the arena of resurrection in a state of humiliation and fear, deserving it for his wrongdoing, be compared with the one who will be in the gardens of Paradise, enjoying whatever he wants of food, drink, clothing, dwellings, scenery, spouses and other delights such as no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and has never crossed the minds of men.

Allah says:

ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الكَبِيرُ

That is the supreme grace.

means, the ultimate victory and complete blessing

42:23
ذٰلِکَ الَّذِیۡ یُبَشِّرُ اللّٰہُ عِبَادَہُ الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ؕ قُلۡ لَّاۤ اَسۡـَٔلُکُمۡ عَلَیۡہِ اَجۡرًا اِلَّا الۡمَوَدَّۃَ فِی الۡقُرۡبٰی ؕ وَ مَنۡ یَّقۡتَرِفۡ حَسَنَۃً نَّزِدۡ لَہٗ فِیۡہَا حُسۡنًا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ غَفُوۡرٌ شَکُوۡرٌ ﴿۲۳﴾
It is that of which Allah gives good tidings to His servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, [O Muhammad], “I do not ask you for this message any payment [but] only good will through kinship.” And whoever commits a good deed – We will increase for him good therein. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Appreciative.

 

Good News of the Blessings of Paradise for the People of Faith

Having mentioned the gardens of Paradise, Allah then says to His servants who believe and do righteous deeds:

ذَلِكَ الَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِينَ امَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ

That is whereof Allah gives glad tidings to His servants who believe and do righteous good deeds.

meaning, this will undoubtedly come to them, because it is glad tidings from Allah to them.

قُل لاَّ أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلاَّ الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى

Say:”No reward do I ask of you for this except to be kind to me for my kinship with you.”

means, `say, O Muhammad, to these idolators among the disbeliever of Quraysh:I do not ask you for anything in return for this message and sincere advice which I bring to you. All I ask of you is that you withhold your evil from me and let me convey the Messages of my Lord. If you will not help me, then do not disturb me, for the sake of the ties of kinship that exist between you and I.’

Al-Bukhari recorded that Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, was asked about the Ayah:
إِلاَّ الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى
(except to be kind to me for my kinship with you).

Sa`id bin Jubayr said, “To be kind to the family of Muhammad.”

Ibn Abbas said, “No, you have jumped to a hasty conclusion. There was no clan among Quraysh to whom the Prophet did not have some ties of kinship.”

Ibn Abbas said, “Except that you uphold the ties of kinship that exist between me and you.”

This was recorded by Al-Bukhari.

It was also recorded by Imam Ahmad with a different chain of narration.

وَمَن يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَّزِدْ لَهُ فِيهَا حُسْنًا

And whoever earns a good righteous deed, We shall give him an increase of good in respect thereof,

means, `whoever does a good deed, We will increase him in good for it, i.e., in reward.’

This is like the Ayah:

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, He doubles it, and gives from Him a great reward. (4:40)

إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ

Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate.

means, He forgives many bad deeds and increases a small amount of good deeds;

He conceals and forgives sins and He multiplies and increases the reward of good deeds.
The Accusation that the Prophet fabricated the Qur’an — and the Response to that

Allah’s saying

42:24
اَمۡ یَقُوۡلُوۡنَ افۡتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰہِ کَذِبًا ۚ فَاِنۡ یَّشَاِ اللّٰہُ یَخۡتِمۡ عَلٰی قَلۡبِکَ ؕ وَ یَمۡحُ اللّٰہُ الۡبَاطِلَ وَ یُحِقُّ الۡحَقَّ بِکَلِمٰتِہٖ ؕ اِنَّہٗ عَلِیۡمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوۡرِ ﴿۲۴﴾
Or do they say, “He has invented about Allah a lie”? But if Allah willed, He could seal over your heart. And Allah eliminates falsehood and establishes the truth by His words. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

 

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَإِن يَشَأِ اللَّهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ

Or say they:”He has invented a lie against Allah!” If Allah willed, He could have sealed up your heart.

means, `if you had invented any lies against Him, as these ignorant people claim,’
يَخْتِمْ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ
(He could have sealed up your heart).

means, `and thus caused you to forget what had already come to you of the Qur’an.’

This is like the Ayah:

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الاٌّقَاوِيلِ

لاأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَـجِزِينَ

And if he had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah), We surely would have seized him by his right hand, and then We certainly would have cut off his life artery, And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him. (69:44-47)

which means, `We would have wrought the utmost vengeance upon him, and no one among mankind would have been able to protect him.’

And Allah said:

وَيَمْحُ اللَّهُ الْبَاطِلَ

And Allah wipes out falsehood,

وَيُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ

and establishes the truth by His Word.

means, He establishes it and strengthens it and makes it clear by His Words, i.e., by His evidence and signs.

إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

Verily, He knows well what are in the breasts.

means, all that is hidden in the hearts of men
