Surah:64: At-Taghaabun
Para:28
Ayat:- 1-10
64:1
یُسَبِّحُ لِلّٰہِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الۡاَرۡضِ ۚ لَہُ الۡمُلۡکُ وَ لَہُ الۡحَمۡدُ ۫ وَ ہُوَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیۡءٍ قَدِیۡرٌ ﴿۱﴾
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting Allah . To Him belongs dominion, and to Him belongs [all] praise, and He is over all things competent.
Praising Allah and mentioning His Creation and Knowledge
Allah the Exalted said,
يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الاَْرْضِ
Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth glorifies Allah.
This is the last Surah among Al-Musabbihat. We mentioned before that all creatures praise the glory of Allah, their Creator and Owner.
Allah said,
لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ
His is the dominion, and to Him belongs the praise,
meaning, He is the One Who has control over all creation, the One praised for all He created and decreed.
Allah’s statement,
وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
and He is Able to do all things.
means that whatever He wills occurs without resistance, and whatever He does not will, never occurs.
Allah said
64:2
ہُوَ الَّذِیۡ خَلَقَکُمۡ فَمِنۡکُمۡ کَافِرٌ وَّ مِنۡکُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنٌ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ بَصِیۡرٌ ﴿۲﴾
It is He who created you, and among you is the disbeliever, and among you is the believer. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.
هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ فَمِنكُمْ كَافِرٌ وَمِنكُم مُّوْمِنٌ
He it is Who created you, then some of you are disbelievers and some of you are believers.
meaning, Allah created you with these characteristics and He willed that for you. Therefore, there will be believers and disbelievers. Surely, Allah is the One Who sees those who deserve guidance and those who deserve misguidance. He is the Witness over His servant’s deeds and He will completely recompense them.
This is why Allah the Exalted said,
وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
And Allah is All-Seer of what you do.
Allah said
64:3
خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضَ بِالۡحَقِّ وَ صَوَّرَکُمۡ فَاَحۡسَنَ صُوَرَکُمۡ ۚ وَ اِلَیۡہِ الۡمَصِیۡرُ ﴿۳﴾
He created the heavens and earth in truth and formed you and perfected your forms; and to Him is the [final] destination.
خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ
He has created the heavens and the earth with truth,
with equity and wisdom,
وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ
and He shaped you and made good your shapes.
He made you in the best shapes and forms.
Allah the Exalted said,
يأَيُّهَا الاأِنسَـنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ الَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ فِى أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَأءَ رَكَّبَكَ
O man!
What has made you careless about your Lord, the most Generous Who created you, fashioned you perfectly and gave you due proportion; in whatever form He willed, He put you together. (82:6-8)
And His saying,
اللَّهُ الَّذِى جَعَـلَ لَكُـمُ الاٌّرْضَ قَـرَاراً وَالسَّمَأءَ بِنَـأءً وَصَوَّرَكُـمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُـمْ وَرَزَقَكُـمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَـتِ
Allah,
it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes good (looking) and has provided you with good things. (40:64)
and His saying;
وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ
And to Him is the return.
means the return and final destination.
Allah then informs of His knowledge of all that there is in the heavens, in the earth and in the souls, He said:
يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ
وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
64:4
یَعۡلَمُ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضِ وَ یَعۡلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّوۡنَ وَ مَا تُعۡلِنُوۡنَ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ عَلِیۡمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوۡرِ ﴿۴﴾
He knows what is within the heavens and earth and knows what you conceal and what you declare. And Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts.
He knows what is in the heavens and on earth, and He knows what you conceal and what you reveal.
And Allah is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts.
64:5
اَلَمۡ یَاۡتِکُمۡ نَبَؤُا الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ۫ فَذَاقُوۡا وَبَالَ اَمۡرِہِمۡ وَ لَہُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِیۡمٌ ﴿۵﴾
Has there not come to you the news of those who disbelieved before? So they tasted the bad consequence of their affair, and they will have a painful punishment.
A Warning delivered through mentioning the End of the Disbelieving Nations
Informing about the past nations and the torment and disciplinary lessons that they suffered because of opposing the Messengers and denying the truth. Allah says;
أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَبْلُ
Has not the news reached you of those who disbelieved aforetime?
meaning, information about them and what happened to them,
فَذَاقُوا وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ
And so they tasted the evil result of their disbelief.
They tasted the evil consequences of their denial and sinful actions. And it refers to the punishment and humiliation they received in the life of the world,
وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
and theirs will be a painful torment.
in the Hereafter, added to the torment they received in this life.
Allah explained why
64:6
ذٰلِکَ بِاَنَّہٗ کَانَتۡ تَّاۡتِیۡہِمۡ رُسُلُہُمۡ بِالۡبَیِّنٰتِ فَقَالُوۡۤا اَبَشَرٌ یَّہۡدُوۡنَنَا ۫ فَکَفَرُوۡا وَ تَوَلَّوۡا وَّ اسۡتَغۡنَی اللّٰہُ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ غَنِیٌّ حَمِیۡدٌ ﴿۶﴾
That is because their messengers used to come to them with clear evidences, but they said, “Shall human beings guide us?” and disbelieved and turned away. And Allah dispensed [with them]; and Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy.
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ
That was because there came to them their Messengers with Bayyinat,
supporting arguments, evidence, and clear proofs,
فَقَالُوا أَبَشَرٌ يَهْدُونَنَا
but they said:”Shall mere men guide us?”
They discounted and dismissed the possibility that the Message would be sent to a human and that their guidance would come by the hands of a man like themselves,
فَكَفَرُوا وَتَوَلَّوا
So they disbelieved and turned away.
they denied the truth and turned away from abiding by it,
وَّاسْتَغْنَى اللَّهُ
But Allah was not in need (of them),
وَاللَّهُ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ
And Allah is not need, Worthy of all praise.
64:7
زَعَمَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡۤا اَنۡ لَّنۡ یُّبۡعَثُوۡا ؕ قُلۡ بَلٰی وَ رَبِّیۡ لَتُبۡعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّؤُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلۡتُمۡ ؕ وَ ذٰلِکَ عَلَی اللّٰہِ یَسِیۡرٌ ﴿۷﴾
Those who disbelieve have claimed that they will never be resurrected. Say, “Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected; then you will surely be informed of what you did. And that, for Allah, is easy.”
Life after Death is True
Allah says,
زَعَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَن لَّن يُبْعَثُوا
The disbelievers pretend that they will never be resurrected.
Allah the Exalted informs about the disbelievers, idolators and the atheists that they claim that they will not be resurrected,
قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّي لَتُبْعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّوُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلْتُمْ
Say:
“Yes! By my Lord, you will certainly be resurrected, then you will be informed of what you did…”
meaning, `you will be informed of all of your actions, whether major or minor, big or small,’
وَذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ
and that is easy for Allah.
`resurrecting and recompensing you is easy for Allah.’
This is the third Ayah in which Allah orders His Messenger to swear by His Lord, the Exalted and Most Honored, that Resurrection occurs.
The first is in Surah Yunus,
وَيَسْتَنْبِيُونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَ قُلْ إِى وَرَبِّى إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ وَمَأ أَنتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ
And they ask you to inform them:”Is it true”
Say:”Yes! By my Lord! It is the very truth! and you can not escape it!” (10:53),
The second is in Surah Saba’,
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَا تَأْتِينَا السَّاعَةُ قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّى لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ
Those who disbelieve say:”The hour will not come to us.”
Say:”Yes, by my Lord, it will come to you…” (34:3),
and the third is this Ayah,
زَعَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَن لَّن يُبْعَثُوا
قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّي لَتُبْعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّوُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلْتُمْ وَذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ
The disbelievers pretend that they will never be resurrected. Say:”Yes! By my Lord, you will certainly be resurrected, then you will be informed of what you did; and that is easy for Allah.”
Allah the Exalted said
64:8
فَاٰمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰہِ وَ رَسُوۡلِہٖ وَ النُّوۡرِ الَّذِیۡۤ اَنۡزَلۡنَا ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِیۡرٌ ﴿۸﴾
So believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Qur’an which We have sent down. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
فَأمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالنُّورِ الَّذِي أَنزَلْنَا
Therefore, believe in Allah and in His Messenger and in the Light which We have sent down.
that is, the Qur’an,
وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ
And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
none of your deeds ever escapes His knowledge.
The Day of At-Taghabun
Allah said
64:9
یَوۡمَ یَجۡمَعُکُمۡ لِیَوۡمِ الۡجَمۡعِ ذٰلِکَ یَوۡمُ التَّغَابُنِ ؕ وَ مَنۡ یُّؤۡمِنۡۢ بِاللّٰہِ وَ یَعۡمَلۡ صَالِحًا یُّکَفِّرۡ عَنۡہُ سَیِّاٰتِہٖ وَ یُدۡخِلۡہُ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِیۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِہَا الۡاَنۡہٰرُ خٰلِدِیۡنَ فِیۡہَاۤ اَبَدًا ؕ ذٰلِکَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِیۡمُ ﴿۹﴾
The Day He will assemble you for the Day of Assembly – that is the Day of Deprivation. And whoever believes in Allah and does righteousness – He will remove from him his misdeeds and admit him to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.
يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُكُمْ لِيَوْمِ الْجَمْعِ
The Day when He will gather you on the Day of Gathering,
meaning the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day when the earlier and later generations will all be gathered in one area, a caller would be heard by them all, and one’s vision would easily see them all.
Allah said,
ذلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوعٌ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُودٌ
That is the Day whereon mankind will be gathered together, that is a Day when all will be present. (11:103)
and,
قُلْ إِنَّ الاٌّوَّلِينَ وَالاٌّخِرِينَ
لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَى مِيقَـتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
Say:
“(Yes) verily, those of old, and those of later times. All will surely be gathered together for appointed meeting of a known Day.” (56:49-50)
Allah’s statement,
ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ التَّغَابُنِ
that will be the Day of At-Taghabun.
Ibn `Abbas said,
“It is one of the names of the Day of Judgement, and that is because the people of Paradise will have gained over the people of the Fire.”
Qatadah and Mujahid said similarly.
Muqatil bin Hayyan said,
“There is no mutual loss and gain greater than these entering Paradise and those being taken to the Fire.”
Allah explained His statement saying;
وَمَن يُوْمِن بِاللَّهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّيَاتِهِ
وَيُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الاَْنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا
ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِأيَاتِنَا أُوْلَيِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَبِيْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
64:10
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا وَ کَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اُولٰٓئِکَ اَصۡحٰبُ النَّارِ خٰلِدِیۡنَ فِیۡہَا ؕ وَ بِئۡسَ الۡمَصِیۡرُ ﴿٪۱۰﴾
But the ones who disbelieved and denied Our verses – those are the companions of the Fire, abiding eternally therein; and wretched is the destination.
And whosoever believes in Allah and performs righteous deeds, He will expiate from him his sins, and will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever; that will be the great success.
But those who disbelieved and denied Our Ayat, they will be the dwellers of the Fire, to dwell therein forever. And worst indeed is that destination.
We explained these meanings several times before
