tafseer:
The pious ones will be led to Paradise in large groups. Its gates will be opened to them when they are brought nearby and its keepers will say, &quot


tafseer:
(Muhammad), on that day you will see the angels circling around the Throne, glorifying and praising their Lord. Judgment with justice will be decreed between the people of Paradise and hell and it will be said, &quot


tafseer:
who forgives sins, who accepts repentance, whose punishment is severe, and whose bounty is universal. He is the only Lord and to Him all things proceed.


tafseer:
No one disputes the revelations of the Lord except the disbelievers. Let not their activities in the land deceive you.


tafseer:
The people of Noah who lived before and the Confederate tribes who lived after them rejected Our revelations. Every nation schemed against its Messengers to seize them and disputed against them to defeat the truth. But torment struck them and how terrible was their retribution!


tafseer:
The word of your Lord that the disbelievers will be the dwellers of hell fire has already been decreed.


tafseer:
The bearers of the Throne glorify their Lord with His praise. They believe in Him and ask Him to forgive the believers. They say, &quot


tafseer:
Lord, admit them and their fathers, spouses, and offspring who have reformed themselves to the gardens of Eden which You have promised them. You are Majestic and All-wise.


tafseer:
Lord, keep them away from evil deeds. Whomever You have saved from evil on the Day of Judgment has certainly been granted Your mercy and this is the greatest triumph.


tafseer:
It is He who has shown you the evidence of His existence and has sent you sustenance from the sky, yet only those who turn to God in repentance take heed.


tafseer:
God is the promoter of His servants and the owner of the Throne. He sends His spirit by His command to whichever of His servants He wants to warn them of the Day of Judgment.


tafseer:
Nothing will remain hidden from God concerning them on the day when they appear before God (from their graves) (It will be asked), &quot


tafseer:
Every soul will be recompensed for its deeds on this Day. There will be no injustice. Certainly God´s reckoning is swift.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), warn them of the approaching day when because of hardship and frustration their hearts will almost reach up to their throats. The unjust will have no friends nor any intercessor who will be heard.


tafseer:
God judges with Truth but those whom they worship besides God can have no Judgment. God is certainly All-hearing and All-aware.


tafseer:
Have they not travelled through the land to see the terrible end of those who lived before them. They had been mightier than them in power and in leaving their traces on earth. God punished them for their sins. They had no one to save them from God´s torment.


tafseer:
Messengers had come to them with illustrious miracles but they disbelieved and thus God struck them with His torment. He is Mighty and Severe in His retribution.


tafseer:
My people, today you have the kingdom and the power on earth but who will help us against the wrath of God if it will befall us?&quot


tafseer:
On that day you will run away, but no one will be able to protect you from (God´s Judgment). No one can guide one whom God has caused to go astray.


tafseer:
Joseph came to you before with illustrious evidence but you still have doubts about what he brought. When he passed away, you said, &quot


tafseer:
those who dispute the revelations of God without having received clear authority. This act greatly angers God and the believers. Thus does God seal the hearts of every arrogant oppressor.&quot


tafseer:
My people, this worldly life is only the means (to an end), but the life hereafter will be the everlasting abode.


tafseer:
Whoever commits evil deeds will be recompensed to the same degree. The righteously striving believer, male or female, will enter Paradise wherein they will receive their sustenance without any account being kept.


tafseer:
You call me to disbelieve in God and to believe other things equal to Him about which I have no knowledge. I call you to the Majestic and All-forgiving One.


tafseer:
The idols to which you invite me certainly have no claim to be deities in this world or in the life to come. Our return is to God and the transgressors will be the dwellers of hell fire.


tafseer:
You will soon recall what I have told you. I entrust God with my affairs. God is Well Aware of His servants.&quot


tafseer:
God protected him against their evil plans and the people of the Pharaoh were struck by the most horrible torment.


tafseer:
They will be exposed to the fire in the mornings and the evenings and on the Day of Judgment, they will be told, &quot


tafseer:
We shall help Our Messengers and the believers, in this life and on the day when witness will come forward.


tafseer:
The excuses of the unjust will be of no benefit to them on that day. They will be condemned to live in a most terrible abode.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), exercise patience. The promise of God is true. Seek forgiveness for your sins and glorify your Lord with His praise in the evenings and in the early mornings.


tafseer:
Those who dispute the revelations of God without having received any authority do so because of their arrogance, but their arrogance cannot bring them any success. Seek protection from God for He is All-hearing and All-aware.


tafseer:
The creation of the heavens and the earth is certainly greater than the creation of mankind, but most people do not know.


tafseer:
Just as the blind and the seeing are not equal, so are the righteously striving believers and the sinners are not equal. How little to this you pay attention.


tafseer:
It is God Who has made the night for you to rest and the day for you to see. God is Benevolent to the human being, but most people do not give Him due thanks.


tafseer:
It is God, your Lord, Who has created all things. He is the only Lord. Why then do you turn away from His worship to the worshipping of idols?


tafseer:
It is God who has created the earth as a place for you to live and the sky as a dome above you. He has shaped you in the best form and has provided you with pure sustenance. This is God, your Lord. Blessed is God, the Lord of the Universe.


tafseer:
He is the Everlasting and the only Lord. So worship Him and be devoted to His religion. It is only God, the Lord of the Universe who deserves all praise.


tafseer:
It is He Who created you from clay, turning it into a living germ, then into a clot of blood, and then brings you forth as a child. He then made you grow into manhood and become old. He causes some of you to live for the appointed time and some of you to die before so that perhaps you may have understanding.


tafseer:
It is He Who gives life and causes things to die. When He decides to do something, He only says, &quot


tafseer:
Those who rejected the Book and the message which was given to Our Messenger will soon know (the consequences of their evil deeds).


tafseer:
(Muhammad), exercise patience. The promise of God is true. Whether We let you witness the suffering with which they were threatened or because of your death (you do not see them suffering,), We shall still punish them when they return to Us (on the Day of Judgment).


tafseer:
We have told you the stories of some of Our Messengers whom We had sent before you and We have not told you the stories of some others. A Messenger is not supposed to show a miracle without the permission of God. When God´s decree of punishment comes to pass, He will judge truthfully and the supporters of the falsehood will perish when God´s decree of punishemnt comes to pass.


tafseer:
You may also obtain other benefits from them. You may ride them to seek whatever you need or be carried by them as ships carry you by sea.


tafseer:
Have they not travelled through the land to see the terrible end of those who lived before them? They were far mightier in both number and power and in what they had established. Their (worldly) gains were of no benefit to them.


tafseer:
They were far too content with their own knowledge (to pay attention to the Messengers) when Our Messengers came to them with illustrious evidence. They were encompassed by the torment for mocking Our guidance.


tafseer:
Their faith proved to be of no benefit to them when they became subject to Our torment. Such was God´s prevailing tradition among His servants in the past. Thus were the unbelievers destroyed.


tafseer:
The verses of this Book have been fully expounded. It is a reading in the Arabic language for the people of knowledge.


tafseer:
It contains glad news and warnings (for the people), but most of them have ignored it and do not listen.


tafseer:
In four days He placed the mountains on it, blessed it, and equally measured out sustenance for those who seek sustenance.


tafseer:
He established His dominance over the sky, which (for that time) was like smoke. Then He told the heavens and the earth, &quot


tafseer:
He formed the seven heavens in two days and revealed to each one its task. He decked the sky above the earth with torches and protected it from (intruders).. Such is the design of the Majestic and All-knowing God&quot


tafseer:
We sent upon them a violent wind during a few ill-fated days to make them suffer a disgraceful torment in this life. Their torment in the life to come will be even more disgraceful and they will not receive any help.


tafseer:
We sent guidance to the people of Thamud but they preferred blindness to guidance so a humiliating blast of torment struck them for their evil deeds.


tafseer:
until (on the brink of it) their eyes, ears and skin will testify to their deeds on the Day when the enemies of God are driven to the fire.


tafseer:
You did not (think) to hide your deeds from your ears, eyes and skin and you felt that God would not know all that you had been doing.


tafseer:
This was how you considered your Lord, but He knows you better than you know yourselves. Thus, you are now lost&quot


tafseer:
Even if they were to exercise patience, their dwelling would still be hell fire. Even if they were to seek favors, they would receive none.


tafseer:
We assigned for them companions who would make their past and present (deeds) seem attractive to them. Thus, they became subject to what the jinn and human beings before were destined to suffer. They were certainly lost.


tafseer:
We shall certainly make the unbelievers suffer severe torment and will punish them far worse than what they deserve for their deeds.


tafseer:
The recompense of the enemies of God for their rejection of Our revelations will be fire as their eternal dwelling.


tafseer:
We are your guardians in this world and in the life to come, where you will have whatever you call for,


tafseer:
Virtue and evil are not equal. If you replace evil habits by virtuous ones, you will certainly find that your enemies will become your intimate friends.


tafseer:
Only those who exercise patience and who have been granted a great share of God´s favor can find such an opportunity.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), seek God´s protection if satan´s temptation grieves you, for God is All-hearing and All-knowing.


tafseer:
(Some evidence of His existence) are the night, day, sun, and moon. Do not prostrate before the sun and the moon, but prostrate before God Who has created them if you want to worship Him alone.


tafseer:
However, if people are too proud to prostrate before God, let them know that God´s other creatures glorify Him both day and night without fatigue.


tafseer:
Further evidence is that (at times) you find the earth to be barren. When it is watered it moves and swells (to let the plants grow). The One who brings it back to life will also bring the dead back to life. He has power over all things.


tafseer:
Those who deviate from Our revelations are not hidden from Us. Is the one who will be thrown into hell fire better than the one who will be brought safely into the presence of God on the Day of Judgment? Act as you wish


tafseer:
Falsehood can not reach it from any direction. It is the revelation from the All-wise, Praiseworthy One.


tafseer:
Nothing has been said to you which was not said to the Messengers who lived before you. Your Lord is certainly All-forgiving, but stern in His retribution.


tafseer:
We had given the Book to Moses about which people greatly disagreed. Had the word of your Lord not been decreed, He would have certainly settled their differences (there and then). They were greatly suspicious and doubtful about the Book of Moses.


tafseer:
Whoever acts righteously does so for his own good and whoever commits evil does so against his soul. Your Lord is not unjust to His servants.


tafseer:
It is He who has the knowledge of the Hour of Doom and the fruits that will come out of their covering. He knows what the females conceive and deliver. On the day when the unbelievers will be asked, &quot


tafseer:
Whatever they had worshipped before will disappear and they will then know that there is no way for them to escape.


tafseer:
The human being never tires of asking for good, but if he is afflicted by hardship, he despairs and gives up all hope.


tafseer:
When We grant the human being a favor, he ignores it and turns away but when he is afflicted by hardship, he starts lengthy prayers.


tafseer:
We shall (continue to) show them Our evidence in the world and within their souls until it becomes clear that the Quran is the truth. Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord witness all things?


tafseer:
(Muhammad), this is how God, the Majestic and All-wise, sends revelations to you and sent them to those who lived before you.


tafseer:
(When the revelation passes through) the heavens, they almost break apart. At that time the angels glorify their Lord with His praise and seek forgiveness for those who live on earth. God is certainly All-forgiving and All-merciful.


tafseer:
God is the guardian of even those who have chosen others (idols) besides Him as their guardians (Muhammad), you will not have to answer for them.


tafseer:
We have revealed the Quran to you in the Arabic language so that you could warn the people of the Mother Town (Mecca) and those around it of the inevitable Day of Resurrection when some will go to Paradise and others to hell.


tafseer:
Had God wanted, He could have made them all one single nation, but He grants mercy to whomever He wills. The unjust will have no guardian or helper.


tafseer:
Have they chosen other guardians besides Him? God is the real Guardian and it is He who will bring the dead back to life. He has power over all things.


tafseer:
Whatever differences you may have about the Quran, the final decision rests with God. In Him do I trust and to Him do I turn in repentance.


tafseer:
He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. He has made you and the cattle in pairs and has multiplied you by His creation. There is certainly nothing like Him. He is All-hearing and All-aware.


tafseer:
In His hands are the keys of the heavens and the earth. He increases and determines the sustenance of whomever He wants. He has the knowledge of all things.


tafseer:
He has plainly clarified the religion which is revealed to you and that which Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus were commanded to follow (He has explained it) so that you would be steadfast and united in your religion. What you call the pagans to is extremely grave for them. God attracts to (the religion) whomever He wants and guides to it whoever turns to Him in repentance.


tafseer:
Only after receiving the knowledge did people divide themselves into different groups because of rebellion among themselves. Had it not been for your Lord´s giving them respite for an appointed time, He would certainly have settled their differences once and for all. Those who inherited the Book, from their quarrelsome predecessors, also have doubts and suspicions about it.


tafseer:
Thus, (Muhammad), preach (My revelation) to the people and be steadfast (in your faith) as you have been commanded. Do not follow their desires but say, &quot


tafseer:
The disputes of those who quarrel about God, after pledging obedience to Him, will be void in the eyes of their Lord. Such people will be subject to His wrath and will suffer a severe torment.


tafseer:
It is God who revealed the Book and the Balance for a truthful purpose. You never know. Perhaps the Hour of Doom is close at hand.


tafseer:
The disbelievers want you to show them the Day of Judgment immediately while the believers are afraid of it for they know it to be the truth. Those who insist on disputing the Hour of Doom are certainly in plain error.


tafseer:
God is kind to His servants. He gives sustenance to whomever He wants. He is All-powerful and Majestic.


tafseer:
We shall increase the harvest of those who seek a good harvest in the life hereafter. However, those who want to have their harvest in this life will be given it but will have no share in the hereafter.


tafseer:
Do they have idols who have established a religion without the permission of God? Had not it been for your Lord´s giving them respite for an appointed time, He would certainly have settled their differences once and for all. The unjust will certainly suffer a painful torment.


tafseer:
You can see that the unjust are afraid of the consequences of their deeds which will inevitably strike them. However, the righteously striving believers will live in the gardens wherein they will have whatever they want from their Lord. This is certainly the greatest reward.


tafseer:
This is the glad news which God gives to His servants, the righteously striving believers. (Muhammad), say, &quot


tafseer:
Do they say that he, (Muhammad), has invented falsehood against God? Had God wanted, He could have sealed up your heart. God causes falsehood to vanish and, by His words, firmly establishes the truth. He has full knowledge of what the hearts contain.


tafseer:
It is He who accepts the repentance of His servants, forgives their evil deeds and knows all about what you do.


tafseer:
He answers the prayers of the righteously striving believers and grants them increasing favors. The unbelievers will suffer a severe punishment.


tafseer:
Had God given abundant sustenance to His servants, they would have certainly rebelled on earth, but He sends them a known measure of sustenance as He wills. He is All-aware of His servants and watches over them all.


tafseer:
It is He who sends down the rain after they had lost hope and spreads out His mercy. He is the Guardian and the Most Praiseworthy.


tafseer:
Some of the evidence (of His existence) are His creation of the heavens and the earth and the beasts which inhabit it. He has all the power to bring them together if He wishes this to be so.


tafseer:
Had He wanted, He could have stopped the wind and let the ships remain motionless on the surface of the sea, in this there is evidence (of the Truth) for all those who are patient and grateful,


tafseer:
or He could have destroyed them as punishment for the human being´s deeds. However, God pardons many sins.


tafseer:
Whatever you have received is just a means of enjoyment for this life but the reward of God for the believers and those who trust in their Lord will be better and everlasting.


tafseer:
(This reward will be for) those who keep away from major sins and indecency, who forgive when they are made angry,


tafseer:
who have pledged their obedience to the Lord, who are steadfast in prayer, who conduct their affairs with consultation among themselves, who spend for the cause of God out of what We have given them,


tafseer:
The recompense for evil will be equivalent to the deed. He who pardons (the evil done to him) and reforms himself, will receive his reward from God. God certainly does not love the unjust.


tafseer:
Only those who do injustice to people and commit rebellion on earth for no reason will be questioned. They will suffer a painful torment.


tafseer:
Whomever God has caused to go astray will find no guardian after this. You will see the unjust, on facing the torment, say, &quot


tafseer:
You will see them exposed to the fire, subdued in humiliation, looking sideways at it pleadingly. However, at the same time, the believers will say, &quot


tafseer:
They will have no guardian or helper besides God. Whoever God has caused to go astray will never find the right direction&quot


tafseer:
Pledge obedience to your Lord before the coming of the inevitable Day when you will find no refuge to escape from God´s wrath and no one to defend you.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), if they turn away from your message, know that We have not sent you as their keeper. Your duty is only to deliver the message. When We grant mercy to the human being, he becomes joyous, but when he is afflicted by evil as a result of his own deeds, he proves to be ungrateful.


tafseer:
To God belongs the heavens and the earth. He created whatever He wanted. He grants males, female, or pairs of.


tafseer:
offspring to whomever He wants. He causes whomever He wants to be childless. He is All-Knowing and All-Powerful.


tafseer:
To no mortal does God speak but through revelation, from behind a curtain, or by sending a Messenger who reveals, by His permission whatever He pleases. He is the Most High and the All-wise.


tafseer:
Thus, We have revealed a Spirit to you, (Muhammad), by Our command. Before, you did not even know what a Book or Faith was, but We have made the Quran as a light by which We guide whichever of Our servants We want. You certainly guide (people) to the right path,


tafseer:
the path of God who is the owner of all that is in the heavens and the earth. To God certainly do all matters return.


tafseer:
It (the Quran) exists in the original Book with Us which is certainly Most Exalted, full of wisdom and (beyond linguistic structures).


tafseer:
We destroyed the strongest among them in power. The stories of the ancient people have already been mentioned.


tafseer:
It is He who has made the earth for you as a cradle and has made roads therein so that you will perhaps seek guidance.


tafseer:
It is He who has sent down water from the sky in a known measure by which He has given life to the dead earth. In the same way will you also be resurrected.


tafseer:
so that perhaps when you ride them, you will recall the bounties of your Lord and when you establish your control over it you would say, &quot


tafseer:
The pagans have considered some of His servants as His children. There is no doubt that the human being is simply ungrateful.


tafseer:
Has God chosen some of His own creatures as daughters for Himself and has given you the preference of having sons?


tafseer:
When one of them is given the glad news of the birth of a daughter, which they believe to be the only kind of child that the Beneficent God can have, his face blackens with anger.


tafseer:
Does God choose for Himself the kind of children who grow up wearing ornaments and who are not strong enough to defend their rights?


tafseer:
Do they say that the angels, who are the servants of the Beneficent God, are females? Have they witnessed their creation? Their words as such will be recorded and they will be questioned for it.


tafseer:
In the same way, whenever We had sent a Messenger before you to warn a town, the rich ones therein said, &quot


tafseer:
God made (belief in one God) an everlasting task for his successors, so that perhaps they would return (to Him).


tafseer:
In fact, We allowed them and their fathers to enjoy themselves until the truth and a strong Messenger came to them.


tafseer:
Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have distributed their sustenance in this world and raised the positions of some of them above the others so that they would mock each other. The mercy of your Lord is better than what they can amass.


tafseer:
Were it not for the fear that all people would become one in disbelief, We would have made for the disbelievers in the Beneficent God ceilings out of silver and ladders by which they would climb up,


tafseer:
and other ornament of gold. All these are only the means of enjoyment in this world, but the pious will receive their reward from your Lord in the life hereafter.


tafseer:
or show them to you suffering the torment with which We had threatened them. We are certainly dominant over them all.


tafseer:
You can ask Our Messengers whom We sent before you if We had commanded them to worship other gods besides the Beneficent God?&quot


tafseer:
Of all the miracles which We showed to them the latter ones were greater than the former. We struck them with torment so that perhaps they would return to Us.


tafseer:
Thus, he made dimwits out of his people and they followed him. They, certainly, were a sinful people. When they invoked Our anger,


tafseer:
Jesus was a servant of Ours to whom We had granted favors and whom We made as an example for the Israelites.


tafseer:
But certain groups created differences among themselves. Woe to the unjust. They will face a painful torment.


tafseer:
Are they waiting for the Hour of Doom when the torment will suddenly strike them and they will not even realize from where it came?


tafseer:
Golden dishes and cups will be passed among them. All that the souls may desire and that may delight their eyes will be available therein. You will live therein forever.


tafseer:
The criminals will live forever in the torment of hell. Their torment will not be relieved and they will despair of escaping.


tafseer:
Do they think that We do not hear their secrets and whispers? We certainly can hear them and Our Messengers record it all.


tafseer:
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and the Throne is too glorious to be described in the way they describe Him.


tafseer:
Leave them (to indulge) in their desires and play around until they face that day which has been promised to them.


tafseer:
It is God who is the Lord of the heavens and is the Lord on earth. He is All-wise and All-knowing.<span>


tafseer:
Blessed is He to whom belongs the heavens, the earth and all that is between them and who has the knowledge of the Hour of Doom. To Him you will all return.


tafseer:
Those whom they worship besides God are not able to intercede, except for those among them who believe in the Truth (God) and who know whom to intercede for.


tafseer:
He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if only you would have strong faith.


tafseer:
There is only One Lord. It is He who gives life and causes things to die. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.


tafseer:
Wait for the day (which will come before the Day of Judgment) when the sky will give out dense smoke


tafseer:
We had certainly tested the people of the Pharaoh before them to whom a noble Messengers had come, saying,


tafseer:
Do not consider yourselves above God? I shall show you a manifest authority (in support of my truthfulness).


tafseer:
Are they better than the tribe of Tubba (name of a Yemenite tribal chief) and those who lived before them? We destroyed them. They were criminals.


tafseer:
(when wrong will be distinguished from right). On this day friends will be of no benefit to one another, nor will they receive any help


tafseer:
God will protect them from the torment of hell as a favor from your Lord. (Muhammad), this is certainly the greatest triumph.


tafseer:
In your creation and in that of the beasts living on earth there is evidence of the Truth for the people who have strong faith.


tafseer:
In the alternation of the night and the day, the sustenance which God has sent down from the sky to revive the barren earth, and in the changing of the direction of the winds there is evidence of the truth for the people of understanding.


tafseer:
These are the revelations of God which We recite to you for a genuine purpose. In what statements other than God´s and His revelations will they then believe?


tafseer:
He hears the revelations of God which are recited to him, then persists in his arrogance as if he had not even heard them. Tell him that he will suffer a painful torment.


tafseer:
When he learns about some of Our revelations, he mocks them. Such people will suffer a humiliating torment.


tafseer:
Hell is awaiting them and none of their deeds will be of any benefit to them, nor will any guardian whom they have chosen besides God. They will suffer a great torment.


tafseer:
This (Quran) is a guidance. Those who reject the revelations of their Lord will suffer the most painful punishment.


tafseer:
God has made the sea subservient to you so that ships sail on by His command and you seek His favors. Perhaps you will be grateful.


tafseer:
He has also made subservient to you all that is in the heavens and the earth. In this there is evidence (of the Truth) for those who use their minds.


tafseer:
Tell the believers to forgive those who do not have faith in the days of God (Day of Judgment) and Resurrection. God will give due recompense to all the people for their deeds.


tafseer:
One who acts righteously does so for his own benefit and one who commits evil does so against his own soul. To your Lord you will all return.


tafseer:
We gave the Book to the Israelites, the commandments, and prophethood, granted them pure sustenance, and gave them preference above all people.


tafseer:
We also gave them clear evidence in support of the true religion. Only after having received knowledge did they create differences among themselves because of their rebelliousness. Your Lord will issue His decree concerning their differences on the Day of Judgment.


tafseer:
We have established for you a code of conduct and a religion. Follow it and do not follow the desires of the ignorant people.


tafseer:
They will never be sufficient (protection) for you in place of God. The unjust are each other´s friends, but God is the guardian of the pious ones.


tafseer:
This (Quran) is an enlightenment for the people and a guide and mercy for the people who have strong faith.


tafseer:
Do the people who commit evil think that We shall make their life and death like that of the righteously striving believers? How terrible is their Judgment!


tafseer:
God has created the heavens and the earth for a genuine purpose so that every soul will be duly recompensed for its deeds without being wronged.


tafseer:
Have you seen the one who has chosen his desires as his lord? God has knowingly caused him to go astray, sealed his ears and heart and veiled his vision. Who besides God can guide him? Will they, then, not take heed?


tafseer:
To God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. On the day when the Hour of Doom arrives, the followers of falsehood will be lost.


tafseer:
You will see all the people kneeling down. Everyone will be summoned to the Book (containing the record of their deeds). They will be told, &quot


tafseer:
The Lord will admit the righteously striving, believing people into His mercy. This is certainly a clear victory.


tafseer:
When it was said that the promise of God is true and that the Hour would inevitably come, you said, &quot


tafseer:
Their evil deeds will be revealed to them and (the torment) which they had mocked will surround them.


tafseer:
This is only because you had mocked the revelations of God and the worldly life had deceived you. On this day they will not be taken out of hell, nor will they be granted any favors.


tafseer:
We have created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them ONLY for a genuine purpose and an appointed time. The unbelievers ignore that of which they have been warned.


tafseer:
When Our enlightening revelations are recited to them, the disbelievers, of the truth which has come to them, say, &quot


tafseer:
Before this (Quran), the Book of Moses was a guide and a blessing. This Book confirms the Torah. It is in the Arabic language so that it may warn the unjust people, and give glad news to the righteous ones.


tafseer:
They will be the dwellers of Paradise wherein they will live forever as a reward for what they have done.


tafseer:
These are the ones from whom We accept righteous deeds and ignore their bad deeds. They will be among the dwellers of Paradise. It is the true promise which was given to them.


tafseer:
Such people will be subject to the punishment of God, which was also decreed for many human beings and jinn before them. These people are certainly lost.


tafseer:
Everyone will have a position proportionate to the degree of his deeds. Finally, God will recompense them for their deeds and they will not be wronged.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), recall the brother of the people of Ad, when he warned his people in the valley of al-ahqaf saying, &quot


tafseer:
We had established them more firmly in the land than you are. We had given them ears, eyes, and hearts but none of their ears, eyes, and hearts proved to be of any benefit to them


tafseer:
We destroyed some towns around you and showed you the evidence (of the Truth) so that perhaps you would turn (to God).


tafseer:
Why did the idols, whom they worshipped as a means of pleasing God, not help them? In fact, they proved to be the cause of their going astray and it were lies which they had falsely invented lies.


tafseer:
We turned a party of jinn towards you to listen to the Quran. When they attended a Quranic recitation, they said to each other, &quot


tafseer:
Our people, respond favorably to the Messenger of God and believe in Him. He will forgive your sins and rescue you from the painful torment.


tafseer:
Those who do not favorably respond to the Messenger of God should know that they cannot challenge God on earth and will not have anyone as their guardian besides Him. Such people are in plain error&quot


tafseer:
Have they not seen that God has created the heavens and the earth and that He experienced no fatigue in doing this. He has the power to bring the dead back to life. Certainly He has power over all things.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), exercise patience as did the steadfast Messengers. Do not try to make them suffer the torment immediately


tafseer:
God has made devoid of all virtue the deeds of those who have disbelieved and prevented others from the way of God.


tafseer:
God forgives the sins and reforms the hearts of the righteously striving believers who have faith in what is revealed to Muhammad - which is the Truth from his Lord.


tafseer:
This is because the disbelievers have followed falsehood and the believers have followed the Truth from their Lord. Thus God explains to the human being their own prospects.


tafseer:
If you encounter the disbelievers in a battle, strike-off their heads. Take them as captives when they are defeated. Then you may set them free as a favor to them, with or without a ransom, when the battle is over. This is the Law. Had God wanted, He could have granted them (unbelievers) victory, but He wants to test you through each other. The deeds of those who are killed for the cause of God will never be without virtuous results.


tafseer:
Have they not travelled through the land and seen the terrible end of those who lived before them? God brought upon them utter destruction and the disbelievers will also faced similar perdition.


tafseer:
God will admit the righteously striving believers into the gardens wherein streams flow. However, the disbelievers who enjoyed themselves and ate like cattle will have for their dwelling hell fire.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), how many towns, much more powerful than the one from which you have been expelled, have We destroyed and left helpless?


tafseer:
Can the one who follows the authority of his Lord be considered equal to the one whose evil deeds are made to seem attractive to him and who follows his own desires?


tafseer:
The garden, which is promised to the pious, is like one in which there are streams of unpolluted water, streams of milk of unchangeable taste, streams of delicious wine, and streams of crystal clear honey. Therein they will have all kinds of fruits and forgiveness from their Lord. On the other hand (can these people be considered like), those who will live forever in hell fire and will drink boiling water which will rip their intestines to bits?


tafseer:
(Muhammad), some of them listen to you, but when they leave you they ask those who have received knowledge, &quot


tafseer:
Are they waiting for the Hour of Doom to suddenly approach them? Its signs have already appeared. How will they then come to their senses when the Hour itself will approach them?


tafseer:
Know that God is the only Lord. Ask forgiveness for your sins and for the sins of the believing men and women. God knows when you move and when you rest.


tafseer:
Since they have (pledged) Us obedience and to speak reasonably, it would be more proper for them, when it is decided (that everyone must take part in the battle), to remain true (in their pledge to God).


tafseer:
If you ignore the commands of God would you then also spread evil in the land and sever the ties of kinship?


tafseer:
Those who have reverted to disbelief after guidance has become manifest to them, have been seduced and given false hopes by satan.


tafseer:
How terrible it will be for them when the angels take away their souls by striking their faces and their backs.


tafseer:
for their following that which had incurred God´s anger, and their hatred to please God. Thus, God has made their deeds devoid of all virtue.


tafseer:
Had We wanted, We could have made you recognize their faces. You will certainly recognize them by the tone of their speech. God knows all your deeds.


tafseer:
We shall certainly test you until We know those who strive hard for the cause of God and those who exercise patience. We will also examine your deeds.


tafseer:
The disbelievers who prevent others from the way of God and give the Messengers a hard time - even after the guidance has been made clear to them - will never be able to cause any harm to God, and He will turn their deeds devoid of all virtue.


tafseer:
God will never forgive the disbelievers who prevent others from the way of God and who die as disbelievers.


tafseer:
The worldly life is only a childish game. If you have faith and piety, you will receive your rewards and God will not ask you to pay for them.


tafseer:
Should He ask for your possessions you would be niggardly as it would be hard for you to give. Thus, He would make your malice become public.


tafseer:
It is you who are asked to spend for the cause of God, but some of you behave in a niggardly way. Whoever behaves miserly does so against his own soul. God is Self-sufficient and you are poor. If you were to turn away from Him, He would just replace you with another people, who will not be like you.


tafseer:
so that God will redeem the sins (which the pagans think you have committed against them) in the past or (you will commit) in the future. He will complete His favors to you, guide you to the right path,


tafseer:
It is God who has given confidence to the hearts of the believers to increase and strengthen their faith. To God belongs the armies of the heavens and the earth. He is All-knowing and All-wise.


tafseer:
So that He would admit the believers (both male and female) to the gardens wherein streams flow, to live therein forever. He will redeem them. This is the greatest triumph in the sight of God,


tafseer:
so that He would punish the hypocrites and the pagans who have evil suspicions about God. It is they who are surrounded by evil and have become subject to the wrath and condemnation of God. He has prepared for them hell, a terrible place to live.


tafseer:
so that you (people) may believe in God and His Messenger, help, and respect God and glorify Him in the morning and the evening.


tafseer:
Those who pledge obedience to you are, in fact, pledging obedience to God. The hands of God are above their hands. As for those who disregard their pledge, they do so only against their own souls. Those who fulfill their promise to God will receive a great reward.


tafseer:
You thought the Messenger and the believers would never ever return to their families and this attracted your hearts and caused you to develop evil suspicions. You are a wrong doing people.


tafseer:
Those who do not believe in God and His Messenger should know that We have prepared hell for the disbelievers.


tafseer:
To God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He forgives or punishes whomever He wants. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.


tafseer:
It is not an offense for the blind, the lame, or the sick not to take part in the battle. Whoever obeys God and His Messenger will be admitted to the gardens wherein streams flow. God will make whoever turns away suffer a painful torment.


tafseer:
God is pleased with the believers for their pledging obedience to you under the tree. He knew whatever was in their hearts, thus, He granted them confidence and rewarded them with an immediate victory


tafseer:
God has promised that you will receive much booty. He has enabled you to receive this at this time and has protected you from enemies to make it an evidence (of the Truth) for the believers. He will guide you to the right path.


tafseer:
Besides these, there were other gains which you could not receive, but God has full control over them. God has power over all things.


tafseer:
Had the disbelievers fought against you, they would have run away from the battle and would have found no guardian or helper.


tafseer:
This is the tradition of God which existed before, and you will never find any change in His tradition.


tafseer:
It is He who kept peace between you and the people of the valley of Mecca after having given you a victory over them. God is Well Aware of what you do.


tafseer:
It was the disbelievers who kept you from the Sacred Mosque and prevented your sacrificial offering from reaching its proper place. God would not have kept you from fighting the disbelievers, had there not been believing men and women (among them) whom you did not know and whom you might have unknowingly harmed. God did this because He grants mercy to whomever He wants. Had they been distinguishable from the believers, We would certainly have punished them with a painful torment.


tafseer:
Since the disbelievers held zealous ignorance in their hearts, like that of the pre-Islamic age of darkness, God gave confidence to His Messenger and to the believers, binding them to the principle of piety which they deserve. God has the knowledge of all things.


tafseer:
It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion to make it prevail over all other religions. God is a Sufficient witness to this Truth&quot


tafseer:
Muhammad is the Messenger of God and those with him are stern to the disbelievers yet kind among themselves. You can see them bowing and prostrating before God, seeking His favors and pleasure. Their faces (foreheads) are marked due to the effect of their frequent prostrations. That is their description in the Torah and in the Gospel they are mentioned as the seed which shoots out its stalk then becomes stronger, harder and stands firm on its stumps, attracting the farmers. Thus, God has described the believers to enrage the disbelievers. God has promised forgiveness and a great reward to the righteously striving believers.


tafseer:
Believers, do not be presumptuous with the Messenger of God (in your deeds and in your words). Have fear of God


tafseer:
Believers, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, do not be too loud in speaking to him [as you may have been to one another], lest your deeds will be made devoid of all virtue without your realizing it.


tafseer:
The hearts of those who lower their voices in the presence of the Messenger of God are tested by God through piety. They will have forgiveness and a great reward.


tafseer:
Had they exercised patience until you had come out, it would have been better for them. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.


tafseer:
Believers, if one who publicly commits sins brings you any news, ascertain its truthfulness carefully, lest you harm people through ignorance and then regret what you have done.


tafseer:
Know that the Messenger of God is with you. Had he yielded to you on many of the matters, you would have been in great trouble. But God has endeared the faith to you and has made it attractive to your hearts. He has made disbelief, evil deeds and disobedience hateful to you. Such people will have the right guidance


tafseer:
If two parties among the believers start to fight against each other, restore peace among them. If one party rebels against the other, fight against the rebellious one until he surrenders to the command of God. When he does so, restore peace among them with justice and equality


tafseer:
Believers are each other´s brothers. Restore peace among your brothers. Have fear of God so that perhaps you will receive mercy.


tafseer:
Believers, let not a group of you mock another. Perhaps they are better than you. Let not women mock each other


tafseer:
People, We have created you all male and female and have made you nations and tribes so that you would recognize each other. The most honorable among you in the sight of God is the most pious of you. God is All-knowing and All-aware.


tafseer:
The believers are those who believe in God and His Messenger, who do not change their belief into doubt and who strive hard for the cause of God with their property and persons. They are the truthful ones&quot


tafseer:
(The bedouins tell you that) you owe them (a great deal) for their embracing Islam. Tell them, &quot


tafseer:
In fact, it seems odd (to the pagans) that a warner from their own people has come to them. The disbelievers have said, &quot


tafseer:
that after we die and become dust, we shall be brought back to life again. This seems far from reality&quot


tafseer:
We already know how much of them (of their bodies) the earth will consume. With Us there is a Book that contains all records.


tafseer:
Have they not seen how We have established the sky above them and decked it without gaps and cracks?


tafseer:
(Have they not seen) how We have spread out the earth, placed on it firm mountains and have made all kinds of flourishing pairs of plants grow?


tafseer:
This is a reminder and it sharpens the insight of every servant of God who turns to Him in repentance.


tafseer:
as sustenance for My servants. With this We have brought the dead land back to life. Thus, will also be your resurrection.


tafseer:
dwellers of the forest, and the people of Tubba had all rejected the Prophets. Thus, they became subject to Our torment.


tafseer:
We swear that We have created the human being and We know what his soul whispers to him. We are closer to him than even his jugular vein.


tafseer:
Since the two scribes are sitting on each of his shoulders, he does not utter a word which is not recorded immediately by the watchful scribes.


tafseer:
How many an ancient town who were much stronger than them (unbelievers) did We destroy. (In vain), they wandered through the land in search of a place of refuge from Our torment.


tafseer:
We created the heavens, the earth, and all that is between them in six days without experiencing any fatigue.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), exercise patience against what they say. Glorify your Lord with His praise before sunrise and sunset.


tafseer:
On that day they will certainly hear the sound of the trumpet and that will be the Day of Resurrection.


tafseer:
On the day when the earth is rent asunder, they will quickly come out of their graves. This is how easy it is for Us to bring about the Day of Resurrection.


tafseer:
We know best what they say and you cannot compel them. Remind, by way of the Quran, those who have fear of My warnings.


tafseer:
There is also evidence (of the Truth) in the story of Moses when We sent him to the Pharaoh with clear authority.


tafseer:
There is also evidence (of the Truth) in the story of the Thamud, who were told to enjoy themselves for an appointed time.


tafseer:
They transgressed against the command of their Lord. So a blast of sound struck them and they were unable to do anything but stare.


tafseer:
In the same way no Messenger came to those who lived before them without his people calling him a magician or an insane person.


tafseer:
Have they inherited such dealings with the Prophets from their predecessors or are they a rebellious people?


tafseer:
The unjust will bear a burden like that of their unjust predecessors. Let them not make Me bring immediate punishment upon them.


tafseer:
talking of what they have received from their Lord and of how their Lord has saved them from the torment of hell.


tafseer:
They will recline on couches arranged in rows and We shall couple them with maidens with large, lovely eyes.


tafseer:
The offspring of the believers will also follow them to Paradise. So shall We join their offspring to them because of their faith. We shall reduce nothing from their deeds. Everyone will be responsible for his own actions.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), remind them, by the Grace of your Lord, that you are neither a soothsayer or an insane person.


tafseer:
Do they have a ladder (by which they can climb up to the heavens) and listen (to the angels) and come back to the rest of the people with clear authority?


tafseer:
Wait patiently for the command of your Lord. We are watching over you. Glorify your Lord when you rise during the night


tafseer:
These are only names given by yourselves and your fathers. God has not given them any authority. They, (unbelievers), only follow mere conjecture and the desires of their souls, even though guidance has already come to them from their Lord.


tafseer:
There are many angels in the heavens whose intercession will be of no benefit unless God grants such permission to whichever of them He wants.


tafseer:
Only those who do not believe in the life hereafter call the angels, females. They have no knowledge about it.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), stay away from those who turn away from Our guidance and who do not desire anything except the worldly life.


tafseer:
This is what the extent of their knowledge amounts to. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His path and who has been rightly guided.


tafseer:
To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. In the end God will re-compense the evil doers for their deeds and reward the righteous ones for their deeds.


tafseer:
Those who stay away from grave sins and indecency (should know that) for their trivial sins your Lord´s forgiveness is vast. He knows best about you. When He created you from the earth and when you were embryos in your mother´s wombs. Do not consider yourselves very great. God knows best who is the most righteous person.


tafseer:
They have rejected it and have followed their own desires, but all matters will be settled (by God).


tafseer:
They have certainly received the kind of news in which there is a lesson and strong words of wisdom,


tafseer:
they will come out of their graves, their eyes cast down, hastening towards their Summoner as locusts rushing about.


tafseer:
The people of Noah, who lived before them, had also rejected (Our guidance). They rejected Our servant and said, &quot


tafseer:
We caused the earth to burst forth with springs so that the waters could come together for a predestined purpose.


tafseer:
which floated on the water before Our very eyes. The flood was a recompense for the deeds of the disbelievers.


tafseer:
The people of `Ad rejected Our guidance. How terrible was My torment and the result (of their disregard) of My warning.


tafseer:
How is it that he has received guidance? In fact, he is the most untruthfull and arrogant person&quot


tafseer:
We sent down upon them a violent sandstorm (which destroyed them all) except for the family of Lot, whom We saved in the early morning by Our favor.


tafseer:
but they rejected all Our miracles. So We seized them in the way that a Majestic and All-powerful One would.


tafseer:
Are you disbelievers mightier than those of the nations which We destroyed before or have you received amnesty through the ancient Scriptures?


tafseer:
In fact, the Hour of Doom is the time for them to suffer. The suffering of this hour is the most calamitous and the most bitter (of all suffering).


tafseer:
It takes only a single command from Us (to bring the Day of Judgment) and that can be achieved within the twinkling of an eye.


tafseer:
We destroyed many people like you (disbelievers) but is there anyone who would take heed (of Our warning)?


tafseer:
Everyone in the heavens and the earth depends on Him. His task in preserving His creation is continuous.


tafseer:
Jinn and mankind, if you can penetrate the diameters of the heavens and the earth, do so, but you cannot do so without power and authority.


tafseer:
Flames of fire and molten brass will be released against you and you will not be able to protect yourselves.


tafseer:
(On the Day of Judgment) when the heavens are rent asunder they will have a flowery color and flow like oil.


tafseer:
(The dwellers of Paradise) will recline on couches lined with silk brocade and it will be easy to reach the ripe fruits from the two gardens.


tafseer:
The people of the right hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their right hands. How happy they will be!


tafseer:
The people of the left hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their left hands. How miserable they will be!


tafseer:
To Him belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes things to die. He has power over all things.


tafseer:
It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established His Dominion over the Throne. He knows whatever enters into the earth, what comes out of it, what descends from the sky, and what ascends to it. He is with you wherever you may be and He is Well Aware of what you do.


tafseer:
Have faith in God and His Messenger and spend for His cause out of what is entrusted to you. Those who believe and spend for the cause of God will have a great reward.


tafseer:
If you are true indeed to this covenant, why do you not believe in God, when His Messenger invites you to believe in your Lord with whom you have made a solemn covenant?


tafseer:
It is He who sends illustrious revelations to His servant to take you out of darkness to light. God is Compassionate and All-merciful to you.


tafseer:
Why do you not spend for the cause of God when to Him belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth? Those who spend for the cause of God and fight before victory will have higher positions than those who spend for the cause of God and fight after victory. However, to both parties God has promised good rewards. God is Well Aware of what you do.


tafseer:
Whoever gives a virtuous loan to God will receive double from Him in addition to an honorable reward.


tafseer:
On the Day of Judgment you will see the believers with their light shining in front of them and to their right. They will be told, &quot


tafseer:
So on this day no ransom will be accepted from you nor from the disbelievers. Your dwelling will be fire. It will be your friend and a terrible end&quot


tafseer:
Is it not time for the hearts of the believers to become humbled by the remembrance of God and by the Truth which has been revealed so that they will not be like the followers of the Bible who lived before them and whose hearts have become hard like stone through the long years. Many of them are evil doers.


tafseer:
Know that God brings the dead earth back to life. We have explained Our revelations to you so that you may perhaps have understanding.


tafseer:
The charitable men and women who give a virtuous loan to God will receive double from Him in addition to their honorable reward.


tafseer:
Those who believe in God and His Messenger are the truthful ones and are witness (to the deeds of others) before their Lord. They will have their reward and their light. Those who disbelieve and reject Our revelations shall be the dwellers of hell.


tafseer:
Know that the worldly life is only a game, a temporary attraction, a means of boastfulness among yourselves and a place for multiplying your wealth and children. It is like the rain which produces plants that are attractive to the unbelievers. These plants flourish, turn yellow, and then become crushed bits of straw. In the life hereafter there will be severe torment or forgiveness and mercy from God. The worldly life is only an illusion.


tafseer:
Compete with one another to achieve forgiveness from your Lord and to reach Paradise, which is as vast as the heavens and the earth, and is prepared for those who believe in God and His Messenger. This is the blessing of God and He grants it to whomever He wants. The blessings of God are great.


tafseer:
Whatever hardships you face on earth and in your souls were written in the Book before the creation of the souls. This is certainly easy for God


tafseer:
so that you would not grieve over what you have lost nor become too happy about what God has granted to you. God does not love the arrogant boastful ones who are niggardly and who try to make other people also niggardly.


tafseer:
We sent Our Messengers with clear evidence (to support their truthfulness), and sent with them the Book and the Balance so that people would maintain justice. We sent down iron - in which there is strong power and benefit for the people - so that God would know who would help Him and His Messenger without seeing the unseen. God is All-powerful and Majestic.


tafseer:
We sent Noah and Abraham and placed prophethood and the Book among their offsprings, some of whom have the right guidance. However, most of them are evil doers.


tafseer:
Then We sent Our other Messengers to follow their traditions. After them We sent Jesus, the son of Mary, to whom We gave the Gospel. In the hearts of his followers We placed compassion and mercy. We did not command them to lead the monastic life. This was their own method of seeking the pleasure of God. Despite this intention, they did not properly observe it (the monastic life). To the believers among them, We gave their reward but many of them are evil-doers.


tafseer:
Believers, have fear of God and believe in His Messenger. God will grant you a double share of mercy, a light by which you can walk, and forgive your sins. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.


tafseer:
(Have fear of God and believe in His Messenger) so that the followers of the Bible will know that they can receive no reward from God. They should know that all favors are in the hands of God. He grants them to whomever He wants. The favors of God are great.


tafseer:
God has certainly heard the words of the woman who disputed with you about her husband and who (after not having received a favorable response from you) complained to God. God was listening to your argument. He is All-hearing and All-aware.


tafseer:
Those who renounce their wives by calling them mothers should know that their wives could never become their mothers. Their mothers are those who have given birth to them. The words that they speak are certainly detestable and sinful. But God is Pardoning and All-forgiving.


tafseer:
Those who renounce their wives by calling them mothers and then change their minds about what they have said will have to set free a slave as a ransom and only then will their carnal relations be lawful. This is what you have been commanded. God is Well Aware of whatever you do.


tafseer:
If one cannot set free a slave, he must fast for two consecutive months, and only then can he have lawful carnal relations. If this is also not possible, he must feed sixty destitute people. This is the command of God, so that perhaps you will have faith in God and His Messenger. Such are the Laws of God, and those who disbelieve them will suffer a painful torment.


tafseer:
Those who oppose God and His Messenger will be humiliated like those who lived before. We have sent illustrious revelations and those who disbelieve will suffer a humiliating torment.


tafseer:
On the day when everyone will be resurrected, God will tell them about their deeds which He has recorded in their entirety - while they themselves have forgotten them. God is the witness over all things.


tafseer:
Have you not considered that God knows all that is in the heavens and the earth? There is not a single place wherein any secret counsel can take place between any three people without God being the fourth, nor five people without His being the sixth nor any gathering of more or less people, wherever it may be, without His being with them. On the Day of Judgment, He will tell them about their deeds. God has the knowledge of all things.


tafseer:
Have you not seen those who have been forbidden to have secret counsels violate this prohibition and resume their secret counsels for sinful and hostile purposes and to disobey the Messenger? When they come to you (Muhammad), they greet you with a greeting with which even God has not greeted you and say to themselves, &quot


tafseer:
Believers, when you hold a secret counsel, let it not be for a sinful, hostile purpose or to disobey the Messenger, but let your counsel take place for virtuous and pious reasons. Have fear of God in whose presence you will all be brought together.


tafseer:
Holding secret counsels for (evil purposes) is a work of satan to cause grief to the believers, but he can do no harm to them except by the will of God. Let the believers trust in God.


tafseer:
Believers, when you are told to make room in a meeting for others, do so. God will then make room for you. When you are told to disperse, do so. God will raise the position of the believers and of those who have received knowledge. God is Well-Aware of what you do.


tafseer:
Believers, whenever you consult the Prophet, offer charity before your consultation. This will be better for you and more pure. However, if you do not find anything to give in charity, then God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.


tafseer:
Were you afraid that giving in charity before your consultation would make you poor? Since you did not offer such charity, God forgave you for this. At least be steadfast in prayer, pay the religious tax, and obey God and His Messenger. God is Well Aware of what you do.


tafseer:
Have you not seen those who have established friendship with the people who are subject to the wrath of God? They do not belong to you nor you to them, yet they knowingly try to prove their point by using false oaths.


tafseer:
They have made their oaths as a shield to obstruct others from the way of God. They will suffer a humiliating torment.


tafseer:
Neither their wealth nor their children will be able to protect them against God. They will be the dwellers of hell fire wherein they will live forever.


tafseer:
On the day when God will resurrect them all together, they will swear to Him as they swore to you and they will think that they have a good case but they are certainly liars.


tafseer:
Satan has dominated them and has made them forget the guidance of God. They are Satan´s party and the party of Satan will certainly suffer a great loss.


tafseer:
You will not find any people of faith in God and the Day of Judgment who would establish friendship with those who oppose God and His Messenger, even if it would be in the interest of their fathers, sons, brothers, and kinsmen. God has established faith in their hearts and supported them by a Spirit from Himself. He will admit them to Paradise wherein streams flow to live therein forever. God is pleased with them and they are pleased with God. These are members of the party of God and the party of God will certainly have everlasting happiness.


tafseer:
It is He who drove the disbelievers among the followers of the Bible out of their homes (in the Arabian Peninsula) as the first time exiles. You did not think that they would leave their homes and they thought that their fortresses would save them from God. The decree of God came upon them in a way that even they did not expect. He caused such terror to enter their hearts that they started to destroy their own homes by their own hands and by those of the believers. People of vision, learn from this a lesson.


tafseer:
Had God not decreed exile for them, He would have certainly punished them (in some other way). In this life and in the next life they would have suffered the torment of hell fire.


tafseer:
This is because they opposed God and His Messenger and whoever opposes God should know that God´s retribution is severe.


tafseer:
All the productive palm-trees (of the Jews hostile to you) which you cut down or left untouched were the will of God to bring disgrace upon the evil-doers.


tafseer:
Since you did not have to exhaust your horses and camels or (even fight), God granted to His Messenger their property. God gives authority to His Messenger over whomever He wants. God has power over all things.


tafseer:
Whatever God grants to His Messenger (out of the property) of the people of the towns, belongs to God, the Messenger, the kinsfolk, the orphans, the destitute and to those who may become needy while on a journey, so that it will not circulate only in the hands of rich ones among them. Take only what the Messenger gives to you and desist from what he forbids you. Have fear of God


tafseer:
The poor immigrants who were deprived of their homes and property, who seek favors and pleasures from God, and help Him and His Messenger will also have (a share in the said property). These people are the truthful ones.


tafseer:
Those who established a community center and embraced the faith before the arrival of the immigrants love those who have come to their town. They are not jealous of what is given to the immigrants. They give preference to them over themselves - even concerning the things that they themselves urgently need. Whoever controls his greed will have everlasting happiness.


tafseer:
Have you not seen the hypocrites who say to their disbelieving brothers among the People of the Book, &quot


tafseer:
If they were to be expelled, they would not go with them. If they were to be attacked they would not help them. Even if they were to help them, they would run away from the battle and leave them helpless.


tafseer:
They will not fight you united except with the protection of fortified towns or from behind walls. They are strong among themselves. You think that they are united, but in fact, their hearts are divided. They are a people who have no understanding.


tafseer:
They are like those who, a short time before, suffered the consequences of their deeds. They, too, will suffer a painful torment.


tafseer:
The fate of both of them will be hell fire wherein they will live forever. Thus will be the recompense for the unjust.


tafseer:
Believers, have fear of God. A soul must see what it has done for the future. Have fear of God for He is All-aware of what you do.


tafseer:
Do not be like those who forget about God. He will make them forget themselves. These are the sinful people.


tafseer:
The Companions of the Fire and the Companions of the Garden are not equal. The Companions of the Garden will achieve felicity.


tafseer:
He is God, the only Lord, Who knows the unseen and the seen. He is the Beneficent and All-merciful One.


tafseer:
He is the only Lord, the King, the Holy, the Peace, the Forgiver, the Watchful Guardian, the Majestic, the Dominant, and the Exalted. God is too exalted to have any partner.


tafseer:
He is the Creator, the Designer, the Modeler, and to Him belong all virtuous names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. He is All-majestic and All-wise.


tafseer:
Believers, do not choose My enemies and your own enemies for friends, and offer them strong love. They have rejected the Truth which has come to you, and have expelled the Messenger and you from your homes because of your belief in your Lord. When you go to fight for My cause and seek My pleasure, you secretly express your love of them. I know best what you reveal or conceal. Whichever of you does this has indeed gone astray from the right path.


tafseer:
If they find an opportunity to turn against you, they will become your enemies and will stretch out their hands and tongues at you with evil intent. They would love to see you turn away from your faith.


tafseer:
Your relatives and children will never be of any benefit to you on the Day of Judgment. God will separate you from them. He is All-aware of what you do.


tafseer:
They are the best examples for those who have hope in God and the Day of Judgment. Whoever turn away should know that God is Self-sufficient and Praiseworthy.


tafseer:
God will perhaps bring about love between you and those of the disbelievers with whom you were enemies. God is All-powerful, All-merciful, and All-forgiving.


tafseer:
God does not forbid you to deal kindly and justly with those who have not fought against you about the religion or expelled you from your homes. God does not love the unjust people.


tafseer:
He only forbids you to be friends with those who have fought against you about the religion, expelled you from your homes or supported others in expelling you. Whoever loves these people are unjust.


tafseer:
Believers, when believing immigrant women come to you, test them. God knows best about their faith. If you know that they are believers, do not return them to the disbelievers. Such women are not lawful for them and disbelievers are not lawful for such women. Give the disbelievers whatever they have spent (on such women for their dowry). There is no offense for you to marry them if you agree to give them their dowry. Do not hold unto your disbelieving wives


tafseer:
If your wives go away from you to disbelievers who will not give you back the dowry which you spent on them, let the Muslims pay back such dowry from the property of the disbelievers which may come into their hands. Have fear of God in whom you believe.


tafseer:
Prophet, when believing women come to you pledging not to consider anything equal to God, not to steal, or to commit fornication, not to kill their children, or to bring false charges against anyone (such as ascribing others children to their husbands), and not to disobey you in lawful matters, accept their pledge, and ask forgiveness for them from God. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.


tafseer:
Believers, do not establish friendship with the people who have become subject to the wrath of God. They do not have any hope in the life to come, just as the disbelievers have no hope in those who are in their graves.


tafseer:
God loves those who fight for His cause in battlefield formations firm as an unbreakable concrete wall.


tafseer:
Who is more unjust than one who creates falsehood against God when he has already been invited to Islam? God does not guide the unjust people.


tafseer:
They want to put out the light of God with their mouths, but God will certainly make His light shine forever - even though the disbelievers may dislike this.


tafseer:
It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion to stand supreme over all religions, even though the pagans may dislike it.


tafseer:
Have faith in God and His Messenger and strive hard for His cause with your wealth and in persons. This is better for you if only you knew it.


tafseer:
God will forgive your sins and admit you into Paradise wherein streams flow, and you live in the lofty mansions of the garden of Eden. This is indeed the greatest triumph.


tafseer:
(Besides forgiveness) you will receive other favors which you will love: help from God and an immediate victory (Muhammad), give such glad news to the believers.


tafseer:
All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify God, the King, the Holy, the Majestic and the All-wise.


tafseer:
It is He who has sent to the illiterate a Messenger from among their own people to recite to them His revelations and purify them. He will teach the Book to them


tafseer:
and others who have not yet joined, and He will give them wisdom. Before this they had been in plain error. God is Majestic and All-wise.


tafseer:
Those who were to carry the responsibility of the Torah but ignored, are like donkeys laden with books. How terrible is the example of the people who reject the revelations of God. God does not guide the unjust.


tafseer:
They will never wish for death because of what they have done! God knows best about the unjust people.


tafseer:
Believers, on Friday when the call for prayer is made, try to attend prayer (remembering God) and leave off all business. This would be better for you if only you knew it.


tafseer:
When the prayer ends, disperse through the land and seek the favor of God. Remember Him often so that perhaps you will have everlasting happiness.


tafseer:
When they see some merchandise or some sport, they rush towards it and leave you alone standing. Say, &quot


tafseer:
They have chosen their oaths as a shield for them to obstruct others from the way of God. How terrible is what they do!


tafseer:
This is because they accepted the faith and then rejected it. God has sealed their hearts, thus, they do not have any understanding.


tafseer:
Their physical appearance attracts you when you see them and when they speak, you carefully listen to them. In fact, they are like propped up hollow trunks of wood (They are so cowardly) they think that every cry which they hear is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May God condemn them. Where are they turning to, leaving behind the Truth?


tafseer:
Believers, do not let your wealth and children divert you from remembering God. Wwhoever is diverted will suffer a great loss.


tafseer:
Spend for the cause of God out of what We have given you before death approaches you, and say, &quot


tafseer:
God will never grant respite to any soul when its appointed time has come. God is Well-Aware of what you do.


tafseer:
All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify God. To Him belongs the Kingdom and all praise. He has power over all things.


tafseer:
It is He who has created you all but some of you have accepted the faith and some of you have not. God is Well Aware of what you do.


tafseer:
He has created the heavens and the earth for a genuine purpose and has formed you in the best shape. To Him all things return.


tafseer:
He knows all that is in the heavens and the earth and all that you reveal or conceal. God knows best whatever the hearts contain.


tafseer:
Have you not received the news about the disbelievers living before you who suffered the consequences of their deeds and will suffer a painful torment?


tafseer:
This was because their messengers came to them with clear proof (to support their prophethood) and they said, &quot


tafseer:
Thus, have faith in God, His Messenger and the Light which We have revealed. God is Well-Aware of what you do.


tafseer:
On the day when We shall gather you all together (for the Day of Judgment), all cheating will be exposed. Those who believe in God and act righteously will receive forgiveness for their sins. They will be admitted into Paradise wherein streams flow and they will live forever. This certainly is the greatest triumph.


tafseer:
As for those who have disbelieved and rejected Our revelations, they will dwell forever in hell fire, a terrible fate.


tafseer:
No one will be afflicted with any hardship without it being the will of God. The hearts of whoever believed in God will receive guidance. God has the knowledge of all things.


tafseer:
Obey God and the Messenger, but if you turn away, know that the only duty of Our Messenger is to clearly preach.


tafseer:
Believers, some of your wives and children may prove to be your enemies so beware of them. However, if you would pardon, ignore and forgive, know that God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.


tafseer:
Your property and children are a trial for you, but the reward (which one may receive from God) is great.


tafseer:
Have as much fear of God as best as you can. Listen to the Messenger, obey him, and spend for your own sake good things for the cause of God. Those who control their greed will have everlasting happiness.


tafseer:
If you give a virtuous loan to God, He will pay back double and forgive your sins. God is the Most Appreciating and the Most Forbearing.


tafseer:
Prophet and believers, if you want to divorce your wives, you should divorce them at a time after which they can start their waiting period. Let them keep an account of the number of the days in the waiting period. Have fear of God, your Lord. (During their waiting period) do not expel them from their homes and they also must not go out of their homes, unless they commit proven indecency. These are the Laws of God. Whoever transgresses against the laws of God has certainly wronged himself. You never know, perhaps God will bring about some new situation.


tafseer:
When their waiting period is about to end, keep them or separate from them lawfully. Let two just people witness the divorce and let them bear witness for the sake of God. Thus does God command those who have faith in Him and the Day of Judgment.


tafseer:
God will make a way (out of difficulty) for one who has fear of Him and will provide him with sustenance in a way that he will not even notice. God is Sufficient for the needs of whoever trusts in Him. He has full access to whatever He wants. He has prescribed a due measure for everything.


tafseer:
If you have any doubt whether your wives have reached the stage of menopause, the waiting period will be three months. This will also be the same for those who do not experience menstruation. The end of the waiting period for a pregnant woman is the delivery. God will make the affairs of one who fears Him easy.


tafseer:
This is the command of God which He has revealed to you. God will expiate the evil deeds of those who fear Him and will increase their rewards.


tafseer:
Lodge them (your wives) where you lived together if you can afford it. Do not annoy them so as to make life intolerable for them. If they are pregnant, provide them with maintenance until their delivery. Pay their wage if they breast-feed your children and settle your differences lawfully. If you are unable to settle them, let another person breast-feed the child.


tafseer:
Let the well-to-do people spend abundantly (for the mother and the child) and let the poor spend from what God has given them. God does not impose on any soul that which he cannot afford. God will bring about ease after hardship.


tafseer:
How many a town has disobeyed its Lord and His Messenger! For them Our questioning was strict and Our punishment severe.


tafseer:
God has prepared severe retribution for them. People of understanding and believers, have fear of God. God has certainly sent you a reminder,


tafseer:
a Messenger who recites to you the illustrious revelations of God, to bring the righteously striving believers out of darkness into light. God will admit those who believe in Him and act righteously to Paradise wherein streams flow, and they will live therein forever. God will provide them with excellent sustenance.


tafseer:
It is God who has created the seven heavens and a like number of earths. His commandments are sent between them, so that you would know that God has power over all things and that His knowledge encompasses all.

Prophet, in seeking the pleasure of your wives, why do you make unlawful that which God has made lawful. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.


tafseer:
God has shown you how to absolve yourselves of your oaths. He is your Guardian and is All-knowing and All-wise.


tafseer:
The Prophet told a secret to one of his wives telling her not to mention it to anyone else. When she divulged it, God informed His Prophet about this. The Prophet told his wife part of the information which he had received from God and ignored the rest. Then she asked, &quot


tafseer:
Would that you two (wives of the Prophet) had turned to God in repentance. Your hearts have sinned. If you conspire with each other against him, know that God is his Guardian. Gabriel, the righteous (ones) among the believers and the angels will all support him.


tafseer:
If he divorces you, perhaps his Lord will replace you with better wives, either widows or virgins who will be Muslims: believers, faithful, obedient, repentant, and devout in prayer and fasting.


tafseer:
Believers, save yourselves and your families from the fire which is fueled by people and stones and is guarded by stern angels who do not disobey God´s commands and do whatever they are ordered to do.


tafseer:
Believers, turn to God in repentance with the intention of never repeating the same sin. Perhaps your Lord will expiate your evil deeds and admit you to Paradise wherein streams flow. On the Day of Judgment, God will not disgrace the Prophet and those who have believed in him. Their lights will shine in front of them and to their right. They will say, &quot


tafseer:
Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be stern against them. Their dwelling will be hell fire, the most terrible fate.


tafseer:
God has told the disbelievers the story of the wives of Noah and Lot as a parable. They were married to two of Our righteous servants but were unfaithful to them. Nothing could protect them from the (wrath) of God and they were told to enter hell fire with the others.


tafseer:
He has also told, as a parable, the story of Mary, daughter of Imran who preserved her virginity and (into whose womb) We breathed Our spirit. She made the words of her Lord and the predictions in His Books come true. She was an obedient woman.


tafseer:
It is He who has created death and life to put you to the test and see which of you is most virtuous in your deeds. He is Majestic and All-forgiving.


tafseer:
It is He who has created seven heavens, one above the other. You can see no flaw in the creation of the Beneficent God. Look again. Can you see faults?


tafseer:
We have decked the lowest heavens with torches. With these torches We have stoned the devils and We have prepared for them the torment of hell.


tafseer:
For those who have disbelieved in their Lord, We have prepared the torment of hell, the most terrible place to return.


tafseer:
It is He who has made the earth subservient to you. You walk through its vast valleys and eat of its sustenance. Before Him you will all be resurrected.


tafseer:
Do you feel secure that the One in the heavens will not cause you to sink into the earth when it is violently shaking?


tafseer:
Do you feel secure that the One in the heavens will not strike you with a sandstorm? You will soon know, with the coming of the torment, how serious Our warning was.


tafseer:
Did they not see the birds above them, stretching out, and flapping their wings. No one keeps them up in the sky except the Beneficent God. He certainly watches over all things.


tafseer:
Do you have any armies who will help you against the Beneficent God? The disbelievers are certainly deceived (by satan).


tafseer:
Is there anyone who will provide you with sustenance if God were to deny you sustenance? In fact, they obstinately persist in their transgression and hatred.


tafseer:
Can one who walks with his head hanging down be better guided that one who walks with his head upright?


tafseer:
When they see the torment approaching, the faces of the disbelievers will blacken and they will be told, &quot


tafseer:
We have tested them in the same way as we tested the dwellers of the garden (in Yemen) when they swore to pluck all the fruits of the garden in the morning,


tafseer:
Such is the torment if only they knew that the torment in the life hereafter will certainly be greater.


tafseer:
they will receive the same thing that the Muslims will? Do they have any witness to such an agreement? Let them bring out such witness, if they are truthful.


tafseer:
On the day when the terrible torment approaches, they will be told (in a mocking way) to prostrate themselves, but they will not be able to do it.


tafseer:
Their eyes will be lowered and disgrace will cover them. They had certainly been told to prostrate themselves before God when they were safe and sound.


tafseer:
Leave those who reject the Quran to Me and I shall lead them step by step to destruction, without their being aware of it.


tafseer:
I shall give them respite, however, My plan is so strong that they will never be able to escape from it.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), do you ask for your preaching any recompense which is too heavy a price for them to pay?


tafseer:
Exercise patience until the promise of your Lord (to punish the unbelievers) comes true. Do not be like Jonah (who left his people without the permission of God


tafseer:
and who cried (for help) to his Lord, while imprisoned and helpless inside the fish. Had it not been for a favor from his Lord, he would have been left out in the open, deserving blame for his shortcomings.


tafseer:
When the disbelievers listen to you reciting the Quran they almost try to destroy you with their piercing eyes. Then they say, &quot


tafseer:
which continued to strike them for seven and eight days so that eventually you could see the people lying dead like the hollow trunks of uprooted palm-trees.


tafseer:
The Pharaoh, those who lived before him and the people of the Subverted Cities all persisted in doing evil.


tafseer:
They disobeyed the Messenger of their Lord and He seized them with torment which increased with time.


tafseer:
and will turn frail, losing all force. The angels will be around the heavens and on that day eight of them will carry the Throne of your Lord above all the creatures.


tafseer:
However, those who will receive the books of the records of their deeds in their left hands will say, &quot


tafseer:
On that Day (of Judgment), long as fifty thousand years, the angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him.


tafseer:
though they may see each other. A sinner will wish that he could save himself from the torment of that day by sacrificing his children,


tafseer:
By no means! For they know very well out of what We have created them (The human being´s naturally growing from a living germ, without discipline and good deeds will not result in virtue).


tafseer:
I do not need to swear by the Lord of the eastern and western regions that We have certainly all the power


tafseer:
(Muhammad), leave them alone to dispute and play until they face the Day with which they have been threatened:


tafseer:
He will forgive your sins and give you a respite for an appointed time. When the time which God has appointed arrives, none will be able to postpone it. Would that you knew this!&quot


tafseer:
Evert time I invite them to Your (guidance) so that You can forgive them, they put their fingers into their ears, cover their heads with their clothes, persist in their disbelief and display extreme arrogance.


tafseer:
strengthen you by (providing) you wealth and children, and make gardens and streams for you. What is the matter with you that you are not afraid of the greatness of God


tafseer:
and have said to each other, ´Do not give-up your idols. Do not renounce Wadd, Suwa`, Yaghuth, Ya`uq and Nasr (names of certain idols).


tafseer:
Because of their sins, they were drowned and made to enter hell. They could find no one to help them besides God.


tafseer:
Lord, forgive me, my parents, the believers who have entered my home and all believing men and women. Give nothing to the unjust but destruction.


tafseer:
which guides people to the right path and we believe in it. We shall never consider anyone equal to our Lord


tafseer:
We used to sit near by and try to listen to the heavens, but shooting flames now await those who try to do that.


tafseer:
We do not know whether by this arrangement God intends benefit and guidance for the people of the earth or only evil.


tafseer:
Now that we have listened to the guidance, we believe in it. Whoever believes in his Lord does not need to fear loss or oppression.


tafseer:
Some of us are Muslims and some of us have deviated from the Truth. Whoever has embraced Islam has followed the right guidance.


tafseer:
Had they (jinn and mankind) remained steadfast in their religion (Islam), We would certainly have given them abundant water to drink


tafseer:
as a trial for them. God will make those who disregard the guidance from their Lord suffer increasing torment.


tafseer:
Do not prostrate before anyone other than Him. When the servant of God (Muhammad) preached (his message) the jinn would all crowd around him.


tafseer:
My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever&quot


tafseer:
(On the Day of Judgment) when the disbelievers witness that with which they have been threatened, they will then know whose helpers are weaker and fewer in number.


tafseer:
He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses.


tafseer:
(Messenger) so that He would know that the Messengers have conveyed the message of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps a precise account of all things&quot


tafseer:
Prayer at night leaves the strongest impression on one´s soul and the words spoken are more consistent.


tafseer:
On that day, the earth and the mountains will be violently shaken, and the mountains will be turned into heaps of moving sand.


tafseer:
We have sent you a Messenger, who will witness your deeds, just as We sent a Messenger to the Pharaoh.


tafseer:
If you, disbelieve, how will you be able to protect yourselves from the hardships of the day which would even turn children grey-headed?


tafseer:
On that day, the heavens will be rent asunder. This is the decree of God which has already been ordained.


tafseer:
Your Lord knows that you and a group of those who are with you get up for prayer sometimes for less than two-thirds of the night, sometimes half and sometimes one-third of it. God determines the duration of the night and day. He knew that it would be hard for you to keep an exact account of the timing of the night prayers, so He turned to you with forgiveness. Thus, recite from the Quran as much as possible. He knew that some of you would be sick, others would travel in the land to seek God´s favors, and still others would fight for the cause of God. Thus, recite from the Quran as much as possible, be steadfast in prayer, pay the zakat , and give virtuous loans to God. Whatever good deeds you save for the next life, you will certainly find them with God. This is the best investment, and for this you will find the greatest reward. Ask forgiveness from God. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.


tafseer:
We have made only angels as the keepers of the fire (for they are the strongest in carrying out Our commands). Our informing (people) of the numbers of these angels is a trial for the disbelievers. It gives more certainty to the people of the Book and strengthens the faith of the believers. The people of the Book and the believers have no doubt about it. We have fixed the number to make the disbelievers and those whose hearts are sick say, &quot


tafseer:
If such will be the Day of Judgment, what is the matter with them? Why do they run away from guidance,


tafseer:
No one will seek guidance unless God wills it. He alone is worthy of being feared and He is the Source of Forgiveness.


tafseer:
On that day, people will be informed of all that they had done and all that they were supposed to do.


tafseer:
Human beings certainly do not want to pay much attention to the Quran. In fact, they love the worldly life


tafseer:
Was he not turned into a clot of blood? God then formed him and gave him proper shape. From the human being, God made males and females in pairs.


tafseer:
We created the human being from the union of sperm and egg to test him. We gave him hearing and vision.


tafseer:
The servants of God fulfill their vows and are afraid of the day in which there will be widespread terror.


tafseer:
God will certainly rescue them from the terror of that day and will meet them with joy and pleasure.


tafseer:
The shades of the garden will be closely spread over them and it will be easy for them to reach the fruits.


tafseer:
Also there will be crystal clear goblets of silver containing the exact measure of drink which they desire.


tafseer:
They will have fine green silk and brocade, and they will be decked with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will provide them with a drink of pure wine.


tafseer:
So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people).


tafseer:
We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them.


tafseer:
He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He is the Beneficent God and no one will be able to address Him.


tafseer:
On that day, the Spirit and the angels who stand in lines will not speak except those whom the Beneficent God has permitted, and he will speak the right words.


tafseer:
We have warned you of the approaching torment. On that day, a person will see what his hands have committed. A disbeliever will say, &quot


tafseer:
(People), is your creation harder for God than that of the heavens, which He created, raised and established


tafseer:
However, those who had feared their Lord and restrained their souls from acting according to its desires.


tafseer:
On the day when they see it, it will seem to them as though they had only lived in the world for a morning and an afternoon.


tafseer:
However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so.


tafseer:
every soul will see the result of its deeds - those recorded before his death and those which will produce either virtue or evil after his death.


tafseer:
On that day, no soul will be of any benefit to any other soul. On that day, all affairs will be in the hands of God.


tafseer:
in obedience to the commands of its Lord which are incumbent on it, (the human being will receive due recompense for his deeds).


tafseer:
Human being, you strive hard to get closer to your Lord, and so you will certainly receive the recompense (of your deeds).


tafseer:
The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter´s belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy.


tafseer:
Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire.


tafseer:
As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph.


tafseer:
and by the night when it moves on towards daybreak (reward and retribution in the next life is an absolute reality).


tafseer:
(Also consider how He dealt with) the Thamud, who carved their houses out of the rocks in the valley.


tafseer:
(Since wealth does not necessarily guarantee everlasting happiness) then why do you not show kindness to the orphans,


tafseer:
and (when you find yourself) in the presence of your Lord and the rows and rows of angels, your greed for riches will certainly be of no avail to you.


tafseer:
On that day, hell will be brought closer and the human being will come to his senses, but this will be of no avail to him.


tafseer:
However, they rejected him and slew her. So their Lord completely destroyed them and their city for their sins.


tafseer:
(Muhammad), your Lord has not abandoned you (by not sending you His revelation), nor is He displeased with you.


tafseer:
On this Night, the angels and the spirit descend by the permission of their Lord with His decree (to determine everyone´s destiny).


tafseer:
The disbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans disbelieved (in Islam) only after receiving divine testimony:


tafseer:
Nor did the People of the Book disagreed among themselves until after receiving the ancient divine testaments.


tafseer:
They were only commanded to worship God, be uprightly devoted to His religion, steadfast in prayer and pay the zakat. This is truly the eternal religion.


tafseer:
Their reward from their Lord will be the gardens of Eden wherein streams flow and wherein they will live forever. God will be pleased with them and they will be pleased with Him. This (reward) is for those who fear their Lord.


tafseer:
On that day the earth will declare all (the activities of the human being) which have taken place on it,


tafseer:
On that day, people will come out of their graves in different groups to see (the results of) their own deeds.


tafseer:
The desire to have more of the worldly gains have pre-occupied you so much (that you have neglected remembring God),


tafseer:
except the righteously striving believers who exhort each other to truthful purposes and to patience.


tafseer:
and so too will his wife who (threw thorns and firewood in the Prophet´s way). Around her neck will be a rope of palm fibre.
