Most of the people do not give thanks

Chapter “Naml”- (The Ant) – 27

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

قُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعْضُ ٱلَّذِى تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ 72  وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ 73  وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ 74

72.  Say: It may be that a part of that which ye would hasten on is close behind you.   73.  And lo! thy Lord is Full of Bounty for mankind, but most of them do not give thanks.   74.  And lo! thy Lord knoweth surely all that their bosoms hide, and all that they proclaim.

72.  Qul  ‘asaaa  ‘any-yakuuna  radifa  lakum  ba’-zullazii  tasta’-jiluun.   73.  Wa  ‘inna  Rabbaka  la-Zuu-  Fazlin  ‘alan-naasi  wa  laakinna  ‘aksarahum  laa  yash-kuruun.   74.  Wa  ‘inna  Rabbaka  la-  ya’-lamu  maa  tukinnu  suduuru-hum  wa  maa  yu’-linuun.

Commentary

 

Radifa – (close behind), it is in past tense from the word radfun, which means “to sit behind a rider”. Such person is called radiif and ridaf. Here it aims “to reach near”.

 

Tukinnu – (to hide, to conceal), this word is from ‘iknaanun, which means “to conceal in the veil”.

 

It was commanded in the previous verse that the Day of Resurrection has been fixed for punishment and reward of personal deeds. No one knows that when it will come. However surely it will come but the people do not believe in it. One should understand it clearly by beholding wicked deeds of the guilty people that those criminals who were not punished in this worldly life, will certainly be punished. They cannot be saved even after death. The name of that Day is “the Doomsday”.

 

The Infidels of Makkah, who were impatient, they asked: Tell us if you are true; that when the Doomsday will come? It has been commanded in this verse: Say to them! Allaah Almighty knows its determined time. Surely it will come; sooner or later. It is possible that some part of punishment of your evil deeds is given to you shortly even in this world. (This prediction was made up in the Battle of Badr). They do not understand it that delay in torment is Grace of Allaah Almighty. But instead of showing gratitude of His Grace, they have been demanding immediate punishment. Say to them that Allaah Almighty knows their hidden wicked deeds and manifest evils!

Conspiracy of the Idolaters

Chapter “Naml”- (The Ant) – 27

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

قُلْ سِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ 69  وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُن فِى ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ 70  وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ 71

69.  Say (unto them O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see the nature of the sequel for the guilty!   70.  And grieve thou not for them, nor be in distress because of what they plot (against thee).   71.  And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful?

69.  Qul  siiruu  fil-‘arzi  fanzuruu  kayfa  kaana  ‘aaqibatul-mujrimiin.   70.  Wa  laa  tahzan  ‘alayhim  wa  laa  takun-  fii  zayqim-mimmaa  yamkuruun.   71.  Wa  yaquuluuna  mataa  haazal-  wa’-du  ‘in  kuntum  saadiqiin.

Commentary

 

It was explained earlier that the knowledge of Unseen is peculiarity of Allaah Almighty. Therefore, only He deserves to be a Worshipped. Only He is Who told such Unseen matters to His Messengers (peace be upon them) by His Grace, in which it was necessary for the betterment of the mankind to believe.

 

Allaah Almighty commanded: Say to them that they should believe in such matters, otherwise they will be ruined. That is to say, if they believe that Allaah Almighty surely exists, coming of His Prophets (peace be upon them) in the world is certain, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is His last Messenger from them, Holy Qur’an is last heavenly Scripture, the Day of Resurrection shall certainly come, the mankind will be brought back to life again after death, his deeds will be reckoned, good people will be sent into the Garden and wrongdoers will be thrown into the Hell.

 

These are the Unseen matters, belief in which is compulsory for the mankind, otherwise he will be destroyed. Say to those people who are in doubt concerning these matters: The truth of these matters will become manifest upon you if you travel through the land.

 

It is being commanded to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): These people should travel in the land and see; how the end of those who disobeyed the Commandments of Allaah Almighty was. They were ruined in the world as they were frightened by the Prophets (peace be upon them), and like this; the promise concerning the punishment on the Doomsday will surely be fulfilled as the promise of torment in the world was fulfilled. If someone is saved in this world, he will not be saved on the Day of Judgment. You should neither grieve and nor be in distress if they do not admit. You have performed your duty of causing to understand them. Let them mind their business. They say: If you are true then tell us that when the Day of Resurrection will come and when the wicked people will be punishment! Its answer is in the next lesson.
