Hud 1 To 24 Detailed
Always Always near from It was then Its verses It was A book
all all wise explained perfected
aware in detail
Lessons:
The quran is being introduced to us. It is comprehensive and conveys
great meaning in the fewest of words. They are not random, but
precise and to the point. There is no deficiency or error in the quran
at all.
This is also understood as , the ayah are perfected and detailed so
that the people can clearly understand this message…
…that you do not worship other than Allah swt
one must only pray to Allah swt, one must only ask Allah swt for help.
One must not have any intermediary. He must directly worship Allah
swt. He must seek Allah swt’s pleasure. A person must be obedient to
Allah swt. He must fear Him, remember Him and turn to Him. This is
the message of the quran
…indeed I [the Prophet sas] am to you
…from Him a warner and a bringer of glad tidings
Allah swt created man to worship Him swt. He has sent the book as
guidance for mankind. He sent the scripture through the messenger to
remind us of the purpose of our lives.
[Anbiyaa:25]
…and that you seek forgiveness from your Lord
- stop the wrong that is being done now and to turn back [to
Him swt]
…then you all repent to him
What is the difference between seeking forgiveness and doing
tawbah?
istighfaar is to seek forgiveness for a sin that was done in the past.
Tawbah is to repent from sins that one is currently involved in.
…He will allow you to enjoy good
…until a fixed time
If you seek forgiveness, do tawbah, then Allah swt will let you live
upon this earth until a fixed time [our death]
If one continues in their sins, they are inviting the punishment of
Allah swt.
Some good deeds, the reward comes to him even in this duniya.
For example, Silah rahmi
Some sins, if a person commits, the punishment comes to him
even in this duniya
…and if you turn away
…then indeed I fear for you, a punishment of a great day
The Prophet sas was sent as a natheer and a basher.
If we seek forgiveness, we will receive reward. If we turn away, we
will face the punishment of a great day.
Lessons:
Seeking forgiveness means that one accepts and admits their
mistakes. Bc it is such a difficult thing to do, there is a great reward
in this world and the hereafter. In this world, Allah swt will allow us
to live a good life. when one turns to Allah swt, bearing the
difficulties of this world is easier to bear.
[Nahl:23?] …we will let him live a good life
…[only to] Allah swt is your return
Whether one does good or bad.
Are we taking some fadhl with us? Are we doing any good? If not ,
what will we take with us.
This life is like we are given 24 boxes…
…and He is upon everything capable.
..unquestionbly, even when they [try to] cover themselves with
their clothes
…he knows
…what they hide and what they declare
…indeed He swt is aware of that which is in the chests
How can they hide from Him swt? He knows what is in our chests.
When they try to cover themselves with their clothes, Allah swt still
knows what they are doing. They can not hide anything from Him swt.
When the Prophet sas would convey the message to the people, there
were some people who would behave in such a manner. A person has
such an attitude when he wants to ignore someone. This is against
the etiquettes of a majlis. If one is sitting somewhere, he must not
hide. This is one of the ways the mushrikeen would show their enmity
to the Prhpet sas
The people of Nuh did similar to him.
[Nuh:7]
[Baqarah:235]
[Yunus:61]
…and there is no creature in the earth
One book in all And its place of Its place of And he Its
clear deposit dwelling knows provision
…except upon Allah swt is its provision
Allah swt is fully aware of every single creature and their needs.
…everything is in the clear book [the lawh almahfudh]
This ayah demonstrates the power and knowledge of Allah swt.
The mushrikeen would try to hide from Allah swt but Allah swt
knows everything. How is this possible.
[An’am:38]
…and He swt is the one who created the heavans and the earth
…in six days
…and His swts’ throne was on water
…so that He swt may test you, which of you are best in deeds
This is the purpose of our creation. He swt wants to see and test
us; which of us is best in deeds and actions? Deeds that we
perform in everyday life.When a person is in difficulty, how does
he behave? When a person is in ease, how does he behave? Are
we grateful or ungrateful?
…and if you [the Prophet sas] were to say
…indeed All of you will be resurrected after the death
One A We One A
numbered term delayed clear magic
…and those who disbelieve, they will surely say that this is nothing
but clear magic
They do not take it seriously.
How is it possible that every creature has a purpose to its existence
but man does not? Nothing has not been created in vain. If one
creature is taken out, it will affect the whole ecosystem.
Even when people are told there is an afterlife, they don’t believe
[
…even if we were to delay the punishment from tehm
…unquestionably, the day it comes
-sarf is to change something from one state to another.
Sarraaf is money changer.
…it will not be averted, or turned away from them
…it will envelop them
…that which they used to mock at
Many people think that the blessings of this life are the
ultimate pleasure. The blessings that He swt gives us are only
glimpses of the pleasure that awaits us in the hereafter.
Ones true inner self comes forth in trial. Is one still grateful when a
blessing is taken away.
How do we look at our situations?
[Qalam?:32]
The believer never loses hope. Allah swt is hopeful from Allah swt.
When a blessing is taken away, we should look at all of our other
blessings. We shouldn’t focus on our problems, focus on the
blessings that we still have.
Surely
greatly
rejoicing
..has touched him
- one who shows off (faa,khaa,raa) fakhaar is used for potters
clay. If you just mention one thing, he shows off.
..indeed he becomes happy and boastful
To him, the pleasures and enjoyment of this duniya is the ultimate
enjoyment. He forgets that it is Allah swt who removed those
difficulties. Many times, a person may be good under normal
circumstances. However, when they are happy, they cross all
bounds.
When Allh swt takes a problem away from us, we must show
gratitude. We must acknowledge that the blessings are from Allah
swt. Alah swt is the one who gave it to us.
They are patient when they are struck with some difficulty
…and they perform righteous deeds when they are given some
blessing
…those for them is forgiveness and a great reward
…some of that which has been revealed to you
Ie. You would not convey it to the people, out of fear of them.
…and your chest is constricted bc of it.
And A An A It was
Allah warner angel treasure sent
down
Surahs He A guardian
fabricated
it
…and Allah swt is upon all a guardian/trustee
The messenger was commanded to convey everything that was
revealed to him from His Lord. This was not an easy task for the
Prophet sas. He had to convey the quran in its entirety. He could
not leave anything out.
[Hijr:70?]
Elsewhere in the quran, they say why does he [the messenger] eat
food and walk around. Why hasn’t an angel been sent down with
him to be his helper?
They would make demands to prove the Messenger’s truthfulness.
….say, then you come with ten surahs like it
Ones
fabricated
…and call upon those who are able, other than Allah swt
…if you are truthful.
…and if they do not respond to you all
This is understood as:
If they do not respond to you all
This is understood in two ways:
You all refers to the mushrikeen. If they do not respond to you,
call upon whomsoever you can besides Allah swt to help you;
when they do not respond to you…
Secondly, if they the deniars don’t respond to you, then know that
this quran is revealed by Allah swt. You should be certain that it is
from Allah swt. The Prophet sas was certain in the quran,
however, when everyone is doubting you, you began to wonder.
…then know that indeed not but it has been revealed with the
knowledge of Allah swt
Allah swt has revealed some of His knowledge in the quran.
Nothing of it is doubtful.
It has also been said that it has been revealed with the knowledge
of Allah swt
…and there is no God but Him swt.
When the people call upon the false gods, they do not get any
response. This shows that when the quran has been revealed, it
has been revealed by the one true god, Allah swt.
…so will you all submit.
…whoever desires the life of this world.
Any person who desires the life of the world…
-(zaa,yaa,nun) different levels of zina.
…and its adornment
They will be
reduced
…we give to them in full their deeds
Meaning, the recompense of their deeds.
..in it [this worldly life]
…those for them, they will have nothing in the hereafter except
the fire
…and lost is what they did
….therein
A And he A Is then
witness recites it/ clear one
He follows proof who
him
…and worthless is what they did
They will only get the benefit of what they are doing in this life
and not in the hereafter. Whoever’s ultimate goal is the duniya
will get just that. We must strive beyond that.
Ibn abbas said regarding this ayah, verily those people who show
off [[the good deeds they do], will be given the reward in this life
[praise, monetary benefit, trophy,..] they are doing it for the
reward of this life…they will get the reward in this life so that they
are not wronged. If he did good, he wanted reward, he will get it
in this life [and not in the hereafter]
Qatadah said Whoevers’ intention and goal is this life, Allah swt
will grant him in this life, but he will not get it in the hereafter.
However, for a believer, he will get the reward in this life and the
hereafter.
The sahabah would get worried when the world was put before
them. If one gets all of the reward now, what will he get in the
hereafter
…from his Lord
This is understood in many ways:
1- Man refers to the believer and his innate nature is upon
tawheed, he is haneef. He is upon this bayyinah from the
tawfique of his Lord. The Hunafa had left idolatry.
2- Man refers to the Prophet sas and he was on the clear
evidence which demonstrates his truthfulness. Every prophet
was given some clear evidence. When he presented this quran,
a witness followed him. The shaahid here refers to a believer
from the people of the book. He is a shaahid bc he testifies to
the truthfulness of the messenger sas. waraqah ibn Nawfal
was a follower of the previous scriptures. Later in madinah,
Abdullah ibn salam, a jew, also testified to the truthfulness of
the messenger. The witnesses were from the ahlul kitaab.
Before the messenger came, there was the Torah, which told
the people the signs of the last messenger. Those here, refers
to those among the jews and Christians who believed in the
Prophet sas.
3- Man refers to those of the ahlul kitaab were upon the fitrah
they accepted the Prophet sas when he came.
4- Man refers to the prophet sas and yatluu is he recites it .
jibreel is the shaahid. He brought revelation to him.
-(taa,laam,waw) tal’ is to follow. Tilawah is recitation.
Tilawah is such recitation where the action follows..each letter
follows the next. Here it means, he follows him
- refers to the Messenger. He is called shaahid bc he
testifies to the truthfulness of the bayyinah…the PRohpet sas
brought the same religion of the haneef.
…and a witness follows him from his Lord
They those And a As a
believe mercy guide
…and from before it [the revelation of the quran or the coming of
the final messenger]
…the book of Musa [the Torah]
…and whoever denies it [the quran]
so you [the Prophet sas] should not be in any doubt concerning it
…indeed it is the truth from your Lord
…but most of the people do not believe
When the prophet sas brought the quran, those who were upon
fitrah, accepted it. Those who didn’t accept it, had a problem with
themselves.
The message that the Prophet sas brought, was universal; it was
meant for all people. It is for the people of the book, to the
mushrikeen, to those who don’t believe in anything.
Anyone who denies the Prophet sas can not enter jannah.
….and who is more unjust than the one who fabricates a lie
against Allah swt
This means to ascribe a partner or child to him, ascribing
statements to him
…those they will be presented before their lord
…those they are the ones who lied against their Lord
It is thes people who fabricated statements and attributed them to
ther Lord
…unquestionably the curse of Allah swt is upon the ones who do
wrong
…those who stop from the way of Allah swt
They prevent, discourage others from accepting the deen.
The leaders who knew the truth of the Prophet sas;when they
did not accept, they discouraged the masses
…and they seek it [the religion of Allah swt] to be crooked
They do this to create doubts in the people.
They present the religion as crooked, as something that
doesn’t make sense and it discourages them. They do this to
extinguish the light of islam.
…and they are those who are disbelievers
- plural of mu’jiz
…they can never at cause failure [to Allah swt] in the earth
Whatever they do, they can never be successful in defeating the
plan of Allah swt. ALla swt will make His religion superior. During
the end of the Makkah period, when the Prohpet sas went to Taif
and came back, it was a point where it felt like the light of Islam
would vanish
They are It will be Any close
capable doubled/ protecting
multiplied friends
…and they will not have besides Allah swt any close protecting
friends
-(dhawd,’ayn,faa)
…they were not able to hear [they disliked the truth so much
that they couldn’t bear to hear it]
..and they were not able to see it
They could not see the truth. Such people will have double
punishment. They did not listen and they stopped others from
listening.
[Fussilat:56? 26?]
[Anam:26]
…those are the ones who have lost themselves
They have suffered the ultimate loss
…and it was lost from them
…what they used to fabricate
They invented their false gods thinking that they would help
them
-
La plus jarama gives the meaning of assuredly
Appears five times in the quran and is followed by anna..
Together it gives the meaning that this is the absolute fact
…indeed those who believed and did righteous deeds
- khabt is low and soft ground (khaw,baa,taa)
…and they became very humble to their Lord
They directed their fear, their humility, their dedication to Allah
swt.
…they will abide in it eternally
…the example of the two groups [the believers and the
disbelievers]
- used in contrast to ‘amaa. One who can see very well
- one who can hear very well. They listen to the
reminders and they take heed
…is like the blind and the deaf
…and the seeing and the hearing
The example of the one who is deaf and blind is like the one
who is blind and deaf to the truth
They are blind and deaf to His swt’s revelation
In their hatred, it is as if they are blind. They are unable to
understand anything
This is a test; if one blessing has been taken away, there are
still so many other blessings.
-(seen,waw,yaa)
…can they ever be equal in example.
Can we say that the blind and the deaf is the same as the
seeing and hearing?
Will we not consider? If they are not the same, then the
believing and the disbelieving are not the same. Being grateful
and ungrateful are not the same. Being hopeful and despairing
are not the same. Being patient and impatient are not the
same.
In the previous ayaat, is the one whose focus is the duniya the
same as the one whose focus is the akhirah?
The people of fire and the people of paradise are not the
same.
