Commentary on Last Scripture


Volume 1

 

Lessons # 1 to 528 from Parts 1 to 4 of Holy Qur’an, Lessons from Chapters: 1.’Al-Faatihah (The Opening), 2. Baqarah (The Cow), 3. ‘Aali-‘Imraan (The Family Of Imran), and 4a. Some part of Nisaaa’ (Women).

I seek refuge in God from Satan   the outcast. In the name of Allaah (God), the Beneficent, the Merciful. 1.  Praise be to Allaah, Lord of the worlds. 2.  The Beneficent, the Merciful. 3.  Owner of the Day of Judgment. 4a.  You (Alone) we worship. 4b.  And You (Alone) we ask for help. 5.  Show us the Straight Path. 6.  The Path of those whom You have favoured. 7.  Not (the path) of those who earn Your anger nor of those who go astray. (So, Be it) (Amen).

2:7.  Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom. 2:13.  And when it is said unto them: Believe as the people believe, they say: shall we believe as the foolish believe? Beware! They indeed are the foolish but they know not. 
2:21. O mankind! Worship your Lord, Who has created you and those before you, so that you may ward off (evil).
2:22. Who has appointed the earth a resting-place for you, and the sky a canopy; and causes water to pour down from the sky, thereby producing fruits as food for you. And do not set up rivals to Allah when you know (better).

2:284.  Unto Allah (belongs) whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the   earth. And whether you make known what is in your minds or hide it, Allah will bring you to account for it. He will forgive whom He will and He will punish   whom He will. And Allah is Able to do all things. 2:285. The Messenger believes in that which has been revealed unto him from his Lord and (so do) believers. Each one believes in Allah and His angels and His Scriptures and His messengers. We make no distinction between any of His messengers. And they say: We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and unto You is the journeying.
2:286. Allah tasks not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it has earned, and against it (only) that which it has deserved. Our Lord! Call us not to account if we forget, or miss the mark, our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as You did lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! And pardon us, and absolve us and have mercy on us. You, are our Protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving folk.

3:185.  Every soul will taste of death. And you will be paid on the Day of Resurrection only that which you have fairly earned. Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made to enter Paradise, he indeed is triumphant. And the life of this world is nothing but a deceptive provision of vanity. Our Lord! You created not this in vain. Glory be to You! Persevere us from the doom of Fire.

3:192.  Our Lord! Whom You cause to enter the Fire: him indeed You have  confounded. And for evildoers there will be no helpers.

3:193.  Our Lord! Lo! We have heard a crier calling unto Faith: “Believe you in your Lord!” So we believed. Our Lord! Therefore forgive us our sins, and remit from us our evil deeds, and make us die the death of the righteous. 

3:194.  Our Lord! And give us that which You have promised to us by Your messenger; and confound us not upon the Day of Resurrection. Lo! You break not the tryst.

3:195.  So their Lord has heard them (and He says): Lo! I suffer not the work of any worker, male or female, to be lost. You precede one from another. So those who migrated and were driven forth from their homes and suffered damage for My Cause, and fought and were slain, verily I shall remit their evil deeds from them and verily I shall bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow. A reward from Allah. And with Allah is the fairest of rewards.

Lessons # 529 to 995 from Parts 5 to 8 of Holy Qur’an, Chapters:4b. Some part of Nisaaa’ (Women), 5. Maaa-‘idah (The Table Spread), 6. ‘An-‘aam (Cattle) and 7a. Some Part of ‘A’-raaf (The Heights).

4: 171.  O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His Word which He   conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him; so believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not “Three”. Cease! (it is) better for you! Allah is only One God. Far be it from His Transcendent Majesty to have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is Sufficient as Defender.       
174.  O mankind! Surely has a proof from your Lord come unto you, and We have sent down unto you a clear light. 
175.  As for those who believe in Allah, and hold fast unto Him, then He will cause to enter into His mercy and grace, and will guide them unto Him by a Straight Path. 
The end of this world’s journey (life) is “Death”. It aims - the mankind has arrived at his abode. From birth to death, he has to cross over a very long and wide field. The name of this field is ‘the world’. After death, he will enter his home country. Name of that home country is “the Day of Resurrection, the next world”. At first, he will have to pass through the stages of “the Grave, the General Resurrection, the Lamentation, reckoning of Accounts, crossing the Bridge over which the righteous will pass to Heaven, and the sinner and evildoer will drop down into the Fire of Hell” . Then he will reach his home, which will be either Paradise or Hell. The Paradise is the place of comfort, whereas the Hell is the place of pain and restlessness.
Help one another unto righteousness and pious duty!. And help not one another unto sin and transgression!


5: 3a. Forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and swine-flesh, and that which has been dedicated unto any other than Allah, and the strangled, and the dead through beating, and the dead through falling from a height, and that which has been killed by (the goring of) horns, and the devoured of wild beasts, saving that which you have slaughtered still alive. And that which has been immolated unto idols is also forbidden. And (forbidden is it) that you apportion by the divining arrows. This is an abomination.

5: 3b.  This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear Me! This Day have perfected your religion for you and completed My Favour unto you, and have chosen for you as Religion Al-Islam. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin; (for him) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
"And hold fast by the rope (Quran and hadith) of Allaah (Almighty and His Messenger) all together and be not disunited".


6:165.  He it is Who has placed you as viceroy of the earth and has exalted some of you in rank above others, that He may try you by (the test of) that which He has given you. Lo! Your Lord is Swift in prosecution, and lo! He verily is Forgiving, Merciful.

The Most Important Social Principle of ISLAM is  “BIDDING THE GOOD & FORBIDDING THE EVIL” 

122.  And as for those who believe and do good works We shall bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. It is a Promise from Allah in Truth. And who can be more truthful than Allah in utterance?
125.  And who is better in religion than he who surrenders his purpose to Allah while doing good (to men) and follows the tradition of Abraham, the upright? And Allah (Himself) chose Abraham for friend.  
7:23.  They said: Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves.

Lessons # 996 to 1512 from Parts 9 to 12 of Holy Qur’an, Chapters: 7b. Remaining part of ‘A’-raaf (The Height), 8. Tawbah (Repentance), 9. ‘Anfaal (Spoils Of War), 10. Yuunus (Jonah), 11. Huud (Hud), and 12a. Some part of Yuusuf (Joseph).

11: 114.  Establish worship at the two ends of the day and in some watches of the night. Lo! Good deeds annul ill-deeds. This is reminder for the mindful.

11: 115.  And have patience. (O Muhammad), for lo! Allah loses not the wages of the Good.
[In accordance with this commandment, Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) established two prayers in the first part of the day {(Fajr – (the dawn of the day) and Zuhr – midday (the time immediately after the declining of the sun)}, one prayer in the last part of the day {‘Asr (afternoon prayer)}, and two prayers in the first part of the night {Magrib – (evening prayer) and ‘Ishaa’ – (the prayer of the first watch of the night)}.

9: 18.  He only shall tend Allah’s sanctuaries who believes in Allah and the Last Day and observes proper Worship and pays the Poor-due and fears none save Allah; for such (only) is it possible that they can be of the rightly guided. 

9: 23.  O you who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. And whoso of you takes them for friends, such are wrongdoers.


9: 24.  Say: If your fathers, and your sons, and your brethren, and your wives, and your tribe, and the wealth you have acquired, and merchandise for which you fear that there will no sale, and dwellings you like are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His Way; then wait till Allah brings His command to pass. And Allah guides not wrongdoing folk.

9: 31.  They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, and they were bidden to worship only One God. There is no God save Him. Be He Glorified from all that they ascribe as partners (unto Him)!

38.  O you who believe! What ails you that when it is said unto you: Go forth in the Way of Allah, you are bowed down to the ground with heaviness. Take you pleasure in the life of the world rather than in the Hereafter? The provision of the life of the world is but little than in the Hereafter.  

39.  If you go not forth He will afflict you with a painful doom, and will choose instead of you a folk other than you, and you cannot harm Him at all. And Allah is Able to do all things.

9:71.  And the Believers, men and women, are protecting friends one of another. They enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and they establish worship and they pay the poor-due, and they obey Allah and His Messenger. As for these, Allah will have mercy on them. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise.

9: 111.  Lo! Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs. They fight in the Way of Allah and so they slay and are slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. And who fulfills his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that you have made. And that is the supreme triumph.

9:112.  (Triumphant) are those who turn repentant (to Allah), those who serve (Him), those who praise (Him), those who journey (in the earth), those who bow down, those who fall prostrate, (in worship), those who enjoin the right and who forbid the wrong and those who guard the limits of Allah. And give glad tidings to Believers.

10: 34.  Say: Is there of your partners (whom you ascribe unto Allah) one that produces the first Creation and then reproduces it? Say: Allah produces the first Creation, then reproduces it. How then, are you misled!

Some Verses from Surah Joseph: 54.  And the king said: Bring him unto me that I may attach him to my person. Then when he had talked with him he said: Lo! You are today in our presence honourable and trusted.
55.  He said: Set me over the storehouses of the land. Lo! I am a skilled custodian.
56.  Thus gave We power to Joseph in the land. He was the owner of it, so that might settle therein where he wished. We bestow Our Mercy on whom We will and We lose not the reward of the good.
57.  And the reward of the Hereafter is better, for those who believe and ward off (evil).
58.  And Joseph’s brethren came and presented themselves before him, then he recognized them but they remained unaware of him.
59.  And when he provided them with their provision he said: Bring unto me a brother of yours from your father. See you not that I fill up the measure and I am the best of hosts?
64.  He said: Can I entrust him to you save as I entrusted his brother to you aforetime? So Allah is Better at Guarding, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.
65.  And when they opened their belongings they discovered that their merchandise had been returned to them. They said: O our father! What (more) can we ask? Here is our merchandise returned to us. And we shall get provision for our folk and guard our brother, and we shall have the extra measure of a camel (load). This (that we bring now) is a light measure.
66.  He said: I will not send him with you till you give me an undertaking in the name of Allah that you will bring him back to me, unless you are surrounded. So when they gave him their undertaking he said: Allah is the Warden over what we say.
67.  And he said: O my sons! Go not in by one gate, go in by different gates. I can naught avail you as against Allah. Lo! The decision rests with Allah only. In Him do I put my trust, and in Him let all the trusting put their trust. 
68.  And when they entered in the manner which their father had enjoined, it would have naught availed them as against Allah; it was but a need of Jacob’s soul which he thus satisfied. And lo! He was a lord of knowledge because We had taught him; but most of mankind know not.
69.  And when they went in before Joseph, he took his brother unto him, saying: Lo! I, even I, am your brother, therefore sorrow not for what they did.
70.  And when he provided them with their provision, he put the drinking-cup in his brother’s saddlebag, and then a crier cried: O camel-riders! Lo! You are surely thieves!
71.  They asked, coming toward them: What is it you have lost?
72.  They said: We have lost the king’s cup, and he who brings it shall have a camel-load, and I (said Joseph) am answerable for it.
73.  They said: By Allah, well you know we came not to do evil in the land, and are no thieves.
74.  They said: And what shall be the penalty for it, if you prove liars?

Lessons # 2031 to 2492 from Parts 17 to 20 of Holy Qur’an, Chapters: 21. The Prophets” – (Suratul – ‘Ambiyaaa’, 22. “Hajj” – (The Pilgrimage), 23. “Mu’-minuun” – (The Believers), 24. “Nuur” – (Light), 25. “Furqaan”- {The Criterion (of Right and Wrong)}, 26. Shu-‘araaa’ (The Poets), 27. Suratun-Naml, 28. “Qasas”- (The Story), and some part of 29. “’Ankabuut”- (The Spider).

 سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله اكبر ولا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم (SubhaanAllaahi wal-hamduLillaahi wa-laa ‘ilaaha ‘illAllaahu Wallaahu Akbar, wa Laa hawla wa laa quwwata ‘illaa Billaahil-‘Aliyil-‘Aziim), "Allah is free from imperfection, All praise be to Allah, there is no God but Allah), Allah is the Greatest, There is neither might nor power except with Allah ".

Authority of Prayers Five Times a Day (L-2023) 130: Therefore (O Muhammad), bear with what they say, and celebrate the Praise of your Lord ere the rising of the sun and ere the going down thereof. And glorify Him some hours of the night and at the two ends of the day, that you may be well pleased. Those mosques (Masaajid) are particular places of the appearance of the Light which are constructed by means of Prophets (peace be upon them) and Allaah’s virtuous slaves, and it has been commanded that after their construction, those should be preserved, looked after and treated with respect. And those houses should be kept clean and clear from impurity and thickness, and the name of Allaah Almighty should be remembered therein. So those slaves of Allaah Almighty, who seek His pleasure, assemble for His congregational worship, hymn and praise of Him. First time of their gathering is early in the morning, and then with effect from afternoon to before next day’s morning. In the morning (guduwwi) - come all Fajr to before Zuhar compulsory and voluntary prayers, but in the evening (‘aasaal) - come all Zuhar to before next day’s Fajr - compulsory and voluntary prayers, as Zuhar, ‘Asr, Magrib, ‘Ishaa’ compulsory (Farz) prayers including voluntary prayers as Nafl and Tahajjad etc.

It is commanded: You people can remain chaste and pure when you give up thinking evil. Spreading immodesty and talking about shameful matters cannot be the work of anyone else but only those who are wicked and immoral people. It is the means of preventive measure against indecency and evil that when thought of these misfortunes grow in mind, that should not be spoken with any other. And if any such thing comes out by the tongue heedlessly, then one should recite لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ (there is no power and no strength except with Allaah) and استغفار istiġfār {(AstaghfirUllaah) (I seek forgiveness of Allaah). And it should never be talked before the people, because spreading the indecency is the act of the Hypocrites, not of the Believers. The Believers do never accuse any other without proof. You should bear in mind that the people who spread the evil, talk of the immodesty and accuse falsely to others by name, they will be overtaken by calamities in the world, and on the Day of Resurrection. A painful torment will be for them who will disgrace any other by violence. He will be disgraced certainly, scourged with stripes, his evidence will not be reliable and after death he will be tormented painfully in addition. Allaah Almighty is Well Aware of the wicked people. You don’t know treacheries of hypocrites.

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ 119  سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ 120

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 121  إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 122

Commentary

In fact, Prophets (peace be upon them) of Allaah Almighty complied with great necessary and useful works in the world. If they (Prophets) had not been appointed for guidance then some human beings would have been like wolves and beasts of prey. Some people used to quarrel with one another like cows, goats, strong fierce animals and wolves, and they used to press down the weak people. Prophets (peace be upon them) taught the mankind living mutually during their individual times. They said to the powerful people: Troubling the feeble is not good. You have not been given more physical strength for the purpose that you begin to strangle the weak people as and when you get any opportunity. But actual use of strength is that you should help the helpless. It is particular beauty of the mankind that he should have compassion with other mankind brothers and move ahead along with them.

Moses and Aaron (peace be upon them) caused to understand the same to the real inhabitants (Qabti people) of Egypt that the Children of Israel were weaker than them, so they should not oppress them. It is against the human nature that strong people molest the weak and take work from them like animals. You are more transgressors because you desire to keep a group of people weaker and helpless, so that they must serve you.

It was reward of human service for Moses and Aaron (peace be upon them) that they became famous as human well-wishers, and the wise people mention them with honor and send peace and compliment on them. Allaah Almighty commanded: Thus We reward the righteous. Along with it, they had wealth of belief. So they will be rewarded with great ranks in the next life. After them, there is mention of Prophet Elias (peace be upon him).

 وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ 115

Commentary

‘Al-mustabiinu – (clear, explicit, clarifying), its meanings are same as of the word “mubiin”.

For frightening the people from the nature of the consequence of evil deeds, Prophets (peace be upon them) were sent by Allaah Almighty from time to time, who conveyed His Messages to His slaves. Circumstances of Noah and Abraham from them (peace be upon them) have been described earlier. Now there is mention concerning two more Prophets who were from the descendants of Isaac, the second son of Abraham (peace be upon them).

It is commanded: These two Prophets {Moses and Aaron (peace be upon them) came for causing to understand the rebellious Pharaoh of Egypt that he should refrain from his refractoriness. But he did not care and began to trouble the Children of Israel more than earlier. They both suffered from him very much, even that they and their people were confused so much. At last, Allaah Almighty helped them and they got victory on their enemy. Their folk were released from calamities.

It is commanded: We gave them the explicit Scripture; in which there was clear guidance toward the Straight Path. They both followed Our Instructions, but the people disobeyed Our Commandments and at last they were punished. They will deserve the torment of the Day of Resurrection too. (Let us flee to God).

Commentary

Abraham (peace be upon him) did not care for the life of his son in the obedience of the Command of Allaah Almighty and got ready happily to sacrifice him. When he was sure that it was the interpretation of his dream that he should sacrifice his son with his own hands in the way of Allaah Almighty, then he did not delay in this matter even for a moment. Allaah Almighty rewards the doers of good. Accordingly, his (peace be upon him) generations take his name with reverence and respect. The Muslims sacrifice cattle every year in accordance with his tradition and exemplify him (peace be upon him) in every prayer when they send salutations upon Muhammad, the last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him).

It is commanded: Thus We reward the good-doers. We made them fortunate in the world and on the Day of Resurrection; they will be successful and satisfied, because they are from His believing slaves. After that, Allaah Almighty gave him (peace be upon him) good tidings of a son whose name would be Isaac (peace be upon him), and who would be a prophet from among the righteous. The race of both sons {Ishmael and Isaac (peace be upon them)} will spread very much.

Those Arabs are from the descendants of Ishmael (peace be upon him) among whom the last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) was born. All Prophets (peace be upon them) of the Children of Israel were from the descendants of Isaac (peace be upon him). Then it is commanded: Their entire descendants are not equal. Some of them are righteous and some sinners have been doing wrong with themselves openly.
