Quran Chapter 11-27 (Pt-12, Stg-3) (L-1364) - درس قرآن

Desirous of acquiring fame and honor

Surah Huud (Hud) - 11

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

27.  Then the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: We see thee but a mortal like us, and we see not that any follow thee save the most abject among us, at first thought and we behold in you no excellence over us- nay, we deem you liars.

27.  Faqaalal-Mala-’ulla-ziina  kafaruu  min-  qaw-mihii  maa  naraaka  ‘illaa  basha-ram-misla-naa  wa  maa  naraa-kat-taba-‘a-ka  ‘illal-laziina  hum  ‘araazi-lunaa  baadi-yar-ra’-y.  Wa  maa  naraa  lakum  ‘alay-naa  min-  fazlim-  bal  nazun-nukum  kaazi-biin.

Commentary

‘Araazi-lunaa – (the most abject among us), this word is plural of ‘arzala, which has been derived from the word razala. Razala means “to be from a low caste, to be inferior”. From the same; the word razaalat has come out. Raziil is the person who is “a mean fellow, a vagabond, a low caste”. Here it aims: such people who earn by means of lowly professions, for example; sweepers etc.

It is commanded that the folk of Messenger Noah (peace be upon him) did not give any importance to His sayings. They said: While you are also a man like us, then why should we obey your command? Moreover, those people who have believed in You, they too belong to a low caste. They are not from the people vested with authority, power or riches. In addition to this, your group has not shown any prominent work performed by them, from which we consider that you people are superior to us. It is clear that we deem: You all are liars. You fabricated a new method for the purpose that you were desirous of acquiring some fame and honor, but in vain.

It seems that distinction in castes, sects, tribes and nations began from those people {the folk of Noah (peace be upon him)}, and they were also founders of idol-worshipping, because they admitted that some of them were superior, and after them, they made their idols, with the passage of time, which became their gods.

Sometimes sense leads to a wrong path - Quran Chapter 11-25

Quran Chapter 11-25 & 26 (Pt-12, Stg-3) (L-1363) - درس قرآن

Sometimes sense leads to a wrong path

Surah Huud (Hud) - 11

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

25.  And We sent Noah unto his folk (and he said): Lo! I am a plain Warner unto you- 26.  That ye serve none, save Allah. Lo! I fear for you the retribution of a painful Day.

(Section 3) 25.  Wa  laqad’ar-salNaa  Nuu-han  ilaa  Qawmih.  ‘Innii  lakum  Naziirum-mubiin. 26.  ‘Allaa  ta’-buduuu  ‘il-lAllaah.  ‘Inniii  ‘akhaafu  ‘alay-kum  ‘Azaaba  Yaw-min  ‘Aliim.

Commentary

God Almighty commands: We sent Noah (peace be upon him) unto his nation as a Messenger, so that he (peace be upon him) should cause to hear them Our Message. Noah (peace be upon him) said to his people: I have come to frighten you in clear words, because you have been going astray, and its result will be not good for you. Behold! You should give up adoring idols. Turn your attention to Allah Almighty. Believe in it that only He is your Worshipped. You should neither prostrate before any other and nor sing a song of any person’s praise save Him. Praise and thank Allah Almighty only. Neither these idols and nor those persons, whose faces’ idols you fabricated, have given you anything. Everything which you possess is given by Allah Almighty, so every time, you should worship, praise and thank Him only. I warn you that if you did not do so; then you should wait for a terrible Day, in which your all deeds will be examined. And you would have to be seized in a painful doom, retribution of adoring the idols and turning away from Allah Almighty.

The people to whom Messenger Noah (peace be upon him) was causing to understand, they had to use their sense and think that verily; He (peace be upon him) was speaking the truth. But their sense led them to a wrong path, which was not straightened.

There is no want in the Religion of God - Quran Chapter 11-24 (Pt-12, Stg-3) (L-1362) - درس قرآن

Quran Chapter 11-24 (Pt-12, Stg-3) (L-1362) - درس قرآن

There is no want in the Religion of God

Surah Huud (Hud) - 11

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

24.  The similitude of the two parties is as the blind and the deaf; and the seer and the hearer. Are they equal in similitude? Will ye not then reflect (therein)?

24.  Masalul-farii-qayni  kal-‘a’-maa  wal- ‘asammi  wal- basiiri  was-samii’.  Hal  yasta-wi-yaani  masalaa.  ‘Afa-laa  tazak-karuun.

Commentary

The Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) proclaimed about “Oneness of God Almighty” in Makkah and said to the people: Allah Almighty has prescribed for you Islam as your Religion. So you should follow its commands, give up worshipping your self fabricated gods (idols) and abandon old false traditions, and you all should be united at the Path; explained by Islam.

It was a simple Message. If they had admitted it, certainly their lives would have been arranged without blood-shed. But they did not accept it. It was the result that two parties had been produced into them and the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was commanded: You should gratify such people who follow you, but continue causing to understand them who are not ready to believe.

It has been commanded in this verse that all people are not equal in using their sense as their physical condition is different from one another. Although there is no want in the Religion of Allah Almighty, but every individual can get from that power so much portion only; which can be accepted by his personal formation. Some of them are such people whose matter is as much faulty that their eyes and ears are not able to accept the power of seeing and hearing. These are the people who remain “the blind and the deaf”.

Like this, the same condition is of the mental powers. Out of them also, every person cannot take full own part due to deficiency in their foundation. Some people are intelligent, whereas some are foolish. Some are those who are given more part of wisdom and vision, but outer impressions are so much effective and powerful that they do not let them work properly. If those outer impressions are removed; then their eyes, ears and sense can work properly. Such people are those who can reap advantage of advice, knowledge and education.

Rightful owners of the Garden - Quran Chapter 11-21 to 23 (Pt-12, Stg-3) (L-1361) - درس قرآن

Quran Chapter 11-21 to 23 (Pt-12, Stg-3) (L-1361) - درس قرآن

Rightful owners of the Garden

Surah Huud (Hud) - 11

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

21.  Such are they who have lost their souls, and that which they used to invent hath failed them. 22.  Assuredly in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers. 23.  Lo! Those who believe and do good works and humble themselves before their Lord: such are rightful owners of the Garden; they will abide therein for ever.

21.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ikal-laziina  khasi-ruuu  ‘anfu-sahum  wa  zalla  ‘an-hum-maa  kaanuu  yaf-taruun. 22.  Laa  jarama  ‘anna-hum  fil-‘Aakhirati  humul-  ‘akhsaruun. 23.  ‘Innal-laziina  ‘aamanuu  wa  ‘amilus-saalihaati  wa  ‘akh-batuuu  ‘ilaa  Rabbi-him,  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  ‘As-haabul-Jannah.  Hum  fiihaa  khaa-liduun.

Commentary

‘Akh-batuu – (to be humble, to bring oneself low, to be submissive), the origin of this word is ‘ikh-baatun, which has been derived from khabata. Khabata means “low, mean, at a lower place. ‘Ikh-batun means “to show oneself humble, mean and abject”.

It is commanded that; after looking the apparent pomp and show of this world; these people were pleased. They fulfilled their desires. Its result will be that their life will be entangled in misfortune. Certainly, such people will be in loss more than all others on the Day of Resurrection.

But those people who will spurn accidental things of the world and believe in Allah Almighty, will do good works according to His Commands, accept Him as their Lord and will bow before Him with humble, in the Hereafter, such people will be rightful owners of the Garden and they will abide therein for ever. They are the mankind who saved themselves.

Shelter in the Hereafter

Surah Huud (Hud) - 11

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

19.  Who debar (men) from the Way of Allah and would have it crooked, and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter. 20.  Such will not escape in the earth, nor have they any protecting friends beside Allah. For them the torment will be double. They could not bear to hear, and they used not to see.

19.  ‘Allaziina  yasud-duuna  ‘an-  Sabii-Lillaahi  wa  yabguu-nahaa  ‘i-wajaa.  Wa  hum-  bil-  ‘Aakhi-rati  hum  kaafiruun.  20.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ika  lam  yakuu-nuu  mu’-jiziina  fil-‘arzi  wa  maa  kaana  lahum-min-  duu-Nillaahi  min  ‘aw-liyaaa’.  Yuzaa-‘afu  lahumul-‘azaab.  Maa  kaanuu  yas-tatii-‘uunas-sam-‘a  wa  maa  kaanuu  yub-siruun.

Commentary

It is commanded that the people who lied concerning Allah Almighty (God forbid), have been entangled in absurd matters due to forging a lie against Allah Almighty. They had drowned themselves and try to drown others also. They went astray from such Straight Path, which Allah Almighty has appointed for the mankind in this world, because they did not believe in Holy Qur’an. After that, when they insisted upon their reflection, then they began to prevent others too from going straight forward. They give up the Right Path, rush in the crooked streets, and want to drag along others also into them by flattering, deceiving and threatening. The world has charmed them in such a way that they have become unable to think about the Last Day. If someone causes to draw their attention unto this matter, they begin to say about him that he is cunning, a cheat, seeker of celebrity etc.

Then, it is commanded that such people cannot escape. No part of the earth can give them shelter. They can neither tire Us (Allah Almighty) by hiding and running here and there, and nor can We become helpless. Wherever they will go and hide, We shall bring and pull them out. Any protecting friend of theirs cannot save them from Our Hand. For them the torment will be double because they falsify such Invisible Matters which neither have they heard nor seen, as though; hey know very much about them.

Evidence against the falsifiers

Surah Huud (Hud) - 11

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

18.  Who doeth greater wrong than he who forgeth a lie against Allah? Such will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses will say: These are they who lied concerning their Lord. Beware! Verily the curse of Allah is upon wrongdoers-

18.  Wa  man  ‘az-lamu  mim-manif-taraa  ‘alAllaahi  kazibaa.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ika  yu’-razuuna  ‘alaa  Rabbihim  wa  ya-quu-lul-‘ash-haadu  haaa-‘ulaaa-‘illaziina  kazabuu  ‘alaa  Rabbi-him.  ‘Alaa  la’-natUllaahi  ‘alaz-zaalimiin,

Commentary

‘If-taraa – (forged), it is past tense from the word ‘if-taraa-‘un. Its inquiry has passed in previous lessons. Here it is required to understand that the aim from the word ’if-taraa is: to forge the occurrences according to pre-planned scheme. The Infidels had made up their mind that they would not let the Islam run. In accordance with such intension, they used to forge a lie in facts, so that they succeed in their scheme. It is called “wrongdoing”.

These people have been denying Islam for keeping in view their worldly benefits, because they see their death if they embrace Islam. Therefore, they do not accept the Truth. It is the worst kind of wrongdoing that the Truth of Holy Qur’an is denied. It means: either they have been determining that Allah Almighty is a liar (God forbid), or that: He has not said that “it is His Word but (let us flee to God) the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has forged Qur’an himself and said: it is the Word of Allah Almighty”. In it, they fixed that the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was a liar; not Allah Almighty. Whereas His (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) honesty and truth is “Believed and Preserved”. It is included also in the worst kind of wrongdoing.

These are such people who will be produced before Allah Almighty on the Day of Resurrection, and the entire true witnesses will give evidence that “certainly these people falsified the Word of Allah Almighty; therefore, they are the worst kind of wrongdoers”.

After that, Allah Almighty commands: The curse of Allah Almighty is upon those wrongdoers, who lied concerning Allah Almighty, falsified the Truth and wanted to prove the Truth as a lie. Allah Almighty is displeased and dissatisfied from them in the both worlds (this world and the Hereafter).

Commentary

We knew from this verse that Allah Almighty, Who is Lord of the mankind, has bestowed many physical powers and of the brain to the human being, so that he should choose the Right Path of life for himself by using power of the brain, but his sense is entangled mostly in the confusion of absurd ideas and superstitions, and the Open Way is not visible to him. Apparent ostentation of the world conceal it from him and his faculty or power, by which external objects are perceived, (sense) continue struggling in the darkness. For making the sense to understand about the Right Path in such darkness, his Cherisher (Allah Almighty) has kept a specific Light in him; which exist, more or less, in every human being.

The person, who does not take effect from apparent glittering things of the world and goes straight forward being saved from its contaminations, into him, this Light shows its splendor, and then the Right Path appears in such Light before his sense, which Allah Almighty has determined for the mankind, and the name of which is “The Natural Religion”. This Light exists in every human being naturally. If the human sense has been covered due to the love with the world; then this Light lies concealed behind the screen. The Right Path is not seen to the sense and the mankind goes astray.

But that individual begins to see the Correct Path; in whom this Light works properly. For his help, Allah Almighty has sent His last Messenger; Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) along with His last Word; Holy Qur’an. For the same purpose, Messenger Moses (peace be upon him) was sent before him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), but now, summary of Torah and all other Scriptures revealed before it, has been recorded in Holy Qur’an. Therefore, all those persons who have inner Light; get everything in this Holy Book in full detail; which is visible to them in the Light of their sense. So they put belief in it immediately and fix it as their Guide. Mercy of God Almighty descends on them.

It is known clearly from this verse that the Perfect Conductor of the entire clans of the world i.e. the Jews, the Christians, the Arabs, the Magi, the Foreigners and the Idolaters, is Holy Qur’an, at this time. The person, who will refuse the Holy Qur’an, cannot obtain deliverance, whether he belongs to any class of the world. It is possible that he prospers temporarily in the world, but when he will die, then he will possess nothing beside repentance and woe. He will not be able to answer his actual God, The Most High, on the Day of Resurrection. If he had used his sense correctly then he would have been saved from the doom on that Day. But he fell under adversity, so he will weep on that Day.
