Ayat: – 1-9
34:1
اَلۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِیۡ لَہٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الۡاَرۡضِ وَ لَہُ الۡحَمۡدُ فِی الۡاٰخِرَۃِ ؕ وَ ہُوَ الۡحَکِیۡمُ الۡخَبِیۡرُ ﴿۱﴾
[All] praise is [due] to Allah, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and to Him belongs [all] praise in the Hereafter. And He is the Wise, the Acquainted.
All Praise and the Knowledge of the Unseen belong to Allah Alone
Allah tells us that all praise belongs to Him alone in this world and in the Hereafter, because He is the Giver and Bestower who gives to the people of this world and the Hereafter, the Sovereign and Controller of all.
Allah says:
وَهُوَ اللَّهُ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِى الاٍّولَى وَالاٌّخِرَةِ وَلَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
And He is Allah; none has the right to be worshipped but He, all praise is due to Him (both) in the first (i.e., in this world) and in the last (the Hereafter). And for Him is the decision, and to Him shall you (all) be returned. (28:70)
Allah says:
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الاَْرْضِ
All praise is due to Allah, to Whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth.
meaning, all of it is His dominion and is enslaved by Him and subject to His control, as Allah says:
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلٌّخِرَةَ وَالاٍّولَى
And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world). (92:13)
Then Allah says:
.
وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الاْخِرَةِ
His is all praise in the Hereafter,
for He is the One Who will be worshipped forever and praised for eternity.
وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ
and He is the All-Wise, means, in all that He says and does, legislates and decrees.
الْخَبِيرُ
the All-Aware.
from Whom nothing at all is hidden or concealed.
Malik narrated that Az-Zuhri said,
He is All-Aware of His creation, All-Wise in His commands.
Allah says
34:2
یَعۡلَمُ مَا یَلِجُ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ وَ مَا یَخۡرُجُ مِنۡہَا وَ مَا یَنۡزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ وَ مَا یَعۡرُجُ فِیۡہَا ؕ وَ ہُوَ الرَّحِیۡمُ الۡغَفُوۡرُ ﴿۲﴾
He knows what penetrates into the earth and what emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein. And He is the Merciful, the Forgiving.
يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِي الاَْرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا
He knows that which goes into the earth and that which comes forth from it,
meaning, He knows the number of raindrops that sink into the depths of the earth, and the seeds that have been sown, and the things that are hidden in it, and He knows what comes forth from that, how many they are, how they grow and what they look like.
وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاء
and that which descends from the heaven,
means, of raindrops and provision,
وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا
and that which ascends to it.
and what ascends into it, i.e., righteous deeds and other things.
وَهُوَ الرَّحِيمُ الْغَفُورُ
And He is the Most Merciful, the Oft-Forgiving.
means, He is Most Merciful to His servants; He does not hasten punish them, and He forgives the sins of those who repent to Him and put their trust in Him
34:3
وَ قَالَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا لَا تَاۡتِیۡنَا السَّاعَۃُ ؕ قُلۡ بَلٰی وَ رَبِّیۡ لَتَاۡتِیَنَّکُمۡ ۙ عٰلِمِ الۡغَیۡبِ ۚ لَا یَعۡزُبُ عَنۡہُ مِثۡقَالُ ذَرَّۃٍ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ لَا فِی الۡاَرۡضِ وَ لَاۤ اَصۡغَرُ مِنۡ ذٰلِکَ وَ لَاۤ اَکۡبَرُ اِلَّا فِیۡ کِتٰبٍ مُّبِیۡنٍ ٭ۙ﴿۳﴾
But those who disbelieve say, “The Hour will not come to us.” Say, “Yes, by my Lord, it will surely come to you. [ Allah is] the Knower of the unseen.” Not absent from Him is an atom’s weight within the heavens or within the earth or [what is] smaller than that or greater, except that it is in a clear register –
The Hour will come so that each Person will be rewarded or punished in accordance with His Deeds
This is one of three Ayat — there is no fourth — where Allah commands His Messenger to swear by His Almighty Lord that the resurrection will surely come, because the stubborn followers of disbelief denied that it would happen.
– One of these Ayat is in Surah Yunus, where Allah says:
وَيَسْتَنْبِيُونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَ قُلْ إِى وَرَبِّى إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ وَمَأ أَنتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ
And they ask you to inform them (saying):”Is it true!”
Say:”Yes! By my Lord! It is the very truth! and you cannot escape it!” (10:53)
– The second of these Ayat is this one:
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَا تَأْتِينَا السَّاعَةُ قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّي لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ
Those who disbelieve say:”The Hour will not come to us.”
Say:”Yes, by my Lord, it will come to you…”.
– And the third of them appears in Surah At-Taghabun, where Allah says:
زَعَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَن لَّن يُبْعَثُواْ قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّى لَتُبْعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّوُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلْتُمْ وَذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ
The disbelievers pretend that they will never be resurrected (for reckoning).
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.” (64:7)
And Allah says here:
..
قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّي لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ
Say:”Yes, by my Lord, it will come to you…”
Then Allah is described in a manner that affirms that:
عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ لَاا يَعْزُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلَاا فِي الاْاَرْضِ وَلَاا أَصْغَرُ مِن ذَلِكَ وَلَاا أَكْبَرُ إِلاَّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ
the All-Knower of the Unseen, not even the weight of a speck of dust or less than that or greater escapes His knowledge in the heavens or in the earth but it is in a Clear Book.
Mujahid and Qatadah said,
“Nothing is hidden or concealed from Him.”
In other words, everything is encompassed by His knowledge, and nothing is hidden from Him. Even though bones may be scattered and disintegrate, He knows where they have gone and where they have dispersed, then He will bring them back just as He created them in the first place, because He has knowledge of all things.
Then Allah tells us of His wisdom in re-creating bodies and bringing about the Hour, as He says:
لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ امَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أُوْلَيِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ
34:4
لِّیَجۡزِیَ الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ؕ اُولٰٓئِکَ لَہُمۡ مَّغۡفِرَۃٌ وَّ رِزۡقٌ کَرِیۡمٌ ﴿۴﴾
That He may reward those who believe and do righteous deeds. Those will have forgiveness and noble provision.
34:5
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ سَعَوۡ فِیۡۤ اٰیٰتِنَا مُعٰجِزِیۡنَ اُولٰٓئِکَ لَہُمۡ عَذَابٌ مِّنۡ رِّجۡزٍ اَلِیۡمٌ ﴿۵﴾
But those who strive against Our verses [seeking] to cause failure – for them will be a painful punishment of foul nature.
وَالَّذِينَ سَعَوْا فِي ايَاتِنَا مُعَاجِزِينَ
That He may recompense those who believe and do righteous good deeds. Those, theirs is forgiveness and generous provision.
But those who strive against Our Ayat to frustrate them,
meaning, those who try to turn others away from the path of Allah and who disbelieve His Messengers,
أُوْلَيِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّن رِّجْزٍ أَلِيمٌ
those, for them will be a severe painful torment.
This means, He will bestow His favor upon the blessed, who are the believers, and will punish the doomed, who are the disbelievers.
This is like the Ayah:
لَا يَسْتَوِى أَصْحَـبُ النَّارِ وَأَصْحَـبُ الْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَـبُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفَأيِزُونَ
Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise. It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful. (59:20)
أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِينَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ
Shall We treat those who believe and do righteous good deeds like those who cause mischief on the earth Or shall We treat those who have Taqwa as the evildoers. (38:28)
34:6
وَ یَرَی الَّذِیۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡعِلۡمَ الَّذِیۡۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَیۡکَ مِنۡ رَّبِّکَ ہُوَ الۡحَقَّ ۙ وَ یَہۡدِیۡۤ اِلٰی صِرَاطِ الۡعَزِیۡزِ الۡحَمِیۡدِ ﴿۶﴾
And those who have been given knowledge see that what is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, and it guides to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy.
وَيَرَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ هُوَ الْحَقَّ
And those who have been given knowledge see that what is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth,
This is another kind of wisdom, following on from the one before, which is that when those who believed in what was revealed to the Messengers see the onset of the Hour and how the righteous and the wicked will be rewarded and punished respectively, which they knew of beforehand in this world from the Books of Allah and which they are now seeing with their own eyes, they will say:
لَقَدْ جَأءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ
Indeed, the Messengers of our Lord did come with the truth. (7:43)
And it will be said:
هَذَا مَا وَعَدَ الرَّحْمـنُ وَصَدَقَ الْمُرْسَلُونَ
This is what the Most Gracious had promised, and the Messengers spoke truth! (36:52)
لَقَدْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِى كِتَـبِ اللَّهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْبَعْثِ فَهَـذَا يَوْمُ الْبَعْثِ
Indeed you have stayed according to the decree of Allah, until the Day of Resurrection; so this is the Day of Resurrection (30:56)
وَيَرَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ هُوَ الْحَقَّ وَيَهْدِي إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ
And those who have been given knowledge see that what is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, and that it guides to the path of the Exalted in might, Owner of all praise.
The Exalted in might is the One Who is All-Powerful, Whom none can overwhelm or resist, but He subjugates and controls all things. The Owner of All praise is the One Who, in all His words, deeds, laws and decrees, is deserving of praise, may He be glorified and exalted
34:7
وَ قَالَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا ہَلۡ نَدُلُّکُمۡ عَلٰی رَجُلٍ یُّنَبِّئُکُمۡ اِذَا مُزِّقۡتُمۡ کُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ ۙ اِنَّکُمۡ لَفِیۡ خَلۡقٍ جَدِیۡدٍ ۚ﴿۷﴾
But those who disbelieve say, “Shall we direct you to a man who will inform you [that] when you have disintegrated in complete disintegration, you will [then] be [recreated] in a new creation?
The Disbelievers’ Denial of Life after Death, and the Refutation of Their View
Here Allah tells us how the disbelievers and heretics denied that the Hour will come, and mocked the Messenger for speaking of it.
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هَلْ نَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يُنَبِّيُكُمْ إِذَا مُزِّقْتُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ
Those who disbelieve say:”Shall we direct you to a man who will tell you (that) when you have become fully disintegrated into dust with full dispersion…”
means, when your bodies have disintegrated into the earth and dispersed without a trace,
إِنَّكُمْ
then you (means, after this has happened),
لَفِي خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
will be created (again) anew.
means, you will be restored to life and will receive provision anew.
`By telling us this, he is doing one of two things:
– either he is deliberately fabricating something and saying that Allah has revealed it to him, or
– he is not doing it deliberately, but he is deluded as crazy and insane people are.’
They said
34:8
اَفۡتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰہِ کَذِبًا اَمۡ بِہٖ جِنَّۃٌ ؕ بَلِ الَّذِیۡنَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡاٰخِرَۃِ فِی الۡعَذَابِ وَ الضَّلٰلِ الۡبَعِیۡدِ ﴿۸﴾
Has he invented about Allah a lie or is there in him madness?” Rather, they who do not believe in the Hereafter will be in the punishment and [are in] extreme error.
أَفْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَم بِهِ جِنَّةٌ
Has he invented a lie against Allah, or is there a madness in him!
Allah said, refuting their words:
بَلِ الَّذِينَ لَا يُوْمِنُونَ بِالاْخِرَةِ فِي الْعَذَابِ وَالضَّلَلِ الْبَعِيدِ
Nay, but those who disbelieve in the Hereafter are (themselves) in a torment, and in far error.
meaning, the matter is not as they claim or as they think; on the contrary, Muhammad is the one who is telling the truth, and is righteous and wise; he is the one who has brought the truth, and they are the foolish and ignorant liars.
فِي الْعَذَابِ
are (themselves) in a torment,
means, their disbelief, which will lead them to the torment of Allah.
..
وَالضَّلَالِ الْبَعِيدِ
and in far error.
i.e. far from the truth in this world.
Then Allah warns them of His power in the creation of heavens and earth, as He says
34:9
اَفَلَمۡ یَرَوۡا اِلٰی مَا بَیۡنَ اَیۡدِیۡہِمۡ وَ مَا خَلۡفَہُمۡ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ وَ الۡاَرۡضِ ؕ اِنۡ نَّشَاۡ نَخۡسِفۡ بِہِمُ الۡاَرۡضَ اَوۡ نُسۡقِطۡ عَلَیۡہِمۡ کِسَفًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ ؕ اِنَّ فِیۡ ذٰلِکَ لَاٰیَۃً لِّکُلِّ عَبۡدٍ مُّنِیۡبٍ ٪﴿۹﴾
Then, do they not look at what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and earth? If We should will, We could cause the earth to swallow them or [could] let fall upon them fragments from the sky. Indeed in that is a sign for every servant turning back [to Allah ].
أَفَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُم مِّنَ السَّمَاء وَالاَْرْضِ
See they not what is before them and what is behind them, of the heaven and the earth!
meaning, wherever they go, in whatever direction, the heavens are above them and the earth is beneath them.
This is like the Ayah:
وَالسَّمَأءَ بَنَيْنَـهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
وَالاٌّرْضَ فَرَشْنَـهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَـهِدُونَ
With Hands did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof. And We have spread out the earth; how Excellent Spreader (thereof) are We! (51:47-48)
إِن نَّشَأْ نَخْسِفْ بِهِمُ الاَْرْضَ أَوْ نُسْقِطْ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَفًا مِّنَ السَّمَاء
If We will, We shall sink the earth with them, or cause a piece of the heaven to fall upon them.
means, `if We wished, We could do that to them because of their wrongdoing and Our power over them, but We delay it because We are Patient and Forgiving.’
Then Allah says:
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَايَةً لِّكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ
Verily, in this is a sign for every Munib servant.
Ma`mar narrating from Qatadah, said that Al-Munib
means every one who repents.
Sufyan narrated from Qatadah, that Al-Munib
is the one who turns to Allah.
This means that in looking at the creation of the heavens and the earth, there is a sign for every servant who is intelligent and wise and who turns towards Allah. There is a sign of the Allah’s ability to recreate bodies and bring about the Resurrection, because the One Who was able to create these heavens — with their vast reaches of space, and this earth, as deep and vast as it is — is able to recreate bodies and revive decayed bones.
This is like the Ayat:
أَوَلَـيْسَ الَذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ بِقَـدِرٍ عَلَى أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم بَلَى
Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth, Able to create the like of them! Yes, indeed! (36:81)
لَخَلْقُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ أَكْـبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلَـكِنَّ أَكْـثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind; yet, most of mankind know not. (40:57)
