A. Imperfect attributes: We cannot name Him with such attributes but cannot name
Him with that
 Allah speaks but He cannot be called “Mutakallim” it is not of the names of Allah
 Speech could be evil or good, truth or lie ,justice or injustice
B. Absolutely Perfect Attributes
Allah is named with them Arahmaan arraheem, al ghafoor, Samee
Such name comprise of attributes so these are names which Allah named Himself with
them-absolutely perfect
C. Not generally perfect ,perfect when restricted
Allah cannot be described with such attributes except with restrictions eg. ‫خذاع‬
Deception, Allah is Maakir ‫ ماكر‬or plotter only to those who plot against Him and His messenger
The muntaqim- the Avenger- the title
Scholars differ
a. Allah is not described with this title alone but with couple name ;only ascribed with
afuww or forgiveness
Al afuw al muntaqim
It is not praiseworthy attribute generally but only with afuww
The same applies to al mudhill the one who humiliates- Allah is not to be descriebd by
that unless alongwith al muizz
Addar the one who causes harm, Allah is not to be described with this ttitle on its own
unless with nafiy on benefactor anafiy and dar
They called them “coupled names.”

b. Allah is not be described with these names at all whether individually nor together
There is no evidence to say this-
This title is not perfect alone unless restricted and mentioned with those who deserve
avenging .
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Opinion of ibn taymiyyah
 Hadeeth mentioning of names of Allah with Muntaqim is inauthentic.

٢٢ ‫ض نعؤننهما إملنا ممنن ٱؤلنمؤجمرممينن نمننتمقنمونن‬ ‫نونمؤن أنؤظلننم مملمن نذبكنر ‍ن‍مباشني م‬
‫ت نرببمهۦ نثلم أنؤعنر ن‬
22. And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the communications of his Lord,
then he turns away from them? Surely We will give punishment to the guilty.
Surah sajda 32:22

٤ ‫ت ٱللم نلنه ؤم نعنذاةب نشمدي ةمد نوٱلل ن نعمزيزة نذو ٱنمتنقاةم‬


‫س نونأننزنل ٱؤلفنؤرنقامنن إملن ٱللمذينن نكنفنرواا ‍نمب‍اشني م‬
‫ممن نقؤبنل نهضدى بلللنا م‬
Surely they who disbelieve in the communications of Allah they shall have a severe
chastisement; and Allah is Mighty, the Lord of retribution.
surah imran 3:4

D. Names with Generally comprises of imperfection


 No way attributed to Allah
 Aajazz, daeef or a’war (incapable, weak and blind)
 Mocking of Allah to hypocrites shows His perfection sifatul kamal- power, capability and
strength
١٦ ‫ نوأنمكيند نكؤيضدا‬١٥ ‫إملننه ؤم نيمكيندونن نكؤيضدا‬
15. Surely they will make a scheme,
16. And I (too) will make a scheme.
Surah taqriq 15-16

Foundation : anyone who interprets anything from quran not according to its obvious meaning
without evidence and proof –he is uttering of allah without knowledge

‫ش نما نظنهنر ممؤننها نونما نبنطنن نوٱؤلمؤثنم نوٱؤلنبؤغني مبنغؤيمر ٱؤلنحبق نونأن نتؤشمرنكواا مبٱللم نما لن ؤم نيننبزؤل مبمهۦ نسؤلشنطضنا نونأن نتنقونلواا‬ ‫قنؤل إملننما نحلرنم نرببني ٱؤلنفشنو م‬
‫ح ن‬
٣٣ ‫نعنلى ٱللم نما نل نتؤعنلنمونن‬
33. Say: My Lord has only prohibited indecencies, those of them that are apparent as well as
those that are concealed, and sin and rebellion without justice, and that you associate with
Allah that for which He has not sent down any authority, and that you say against Allah what
you do not know. [Surah a’raf 7:33]

 Mocking by Allah is more profound and incomparable to ours.


Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
‫س نكممؤثلممهۦ نشؤي ةةء نونهنو ٱللسممينع‬
‫ض نجنعنل نلنكم بمؤن نأنفنمسنك ؤم أنؤزشنوضجا نوممنن ٱؤلنؤنشنعمم أنؤزشنوضجا نيؤذنرنؤنك ؤم مفيممه نلؤي ن‬
‫ت نوٱؤلنؤر م م‬
‫نفامطنر ٱللسشنمشنو م‬
١١ ‫صينر‬ ‫ٱؤلنب م‬
11. The Originator of the heavens and the earth; He made mates for you from among
yourselves, and mates of the cattle too, multiplying you thereby; nothing like a likeness
of Him; and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

Attribute of Betrayal
 ‫ خيانه‬betrayal, deceit and insecurity- absolute imperfection
NOT attributed to Allah
٧١ ‫ل ممن نقؤبنل نفأ نؤمنكنن ممؤننه مؤم نوٱلل ن نعمليءم نحمكيءم‬
‫ك نفنقؤد نخاننواا ٱ ل ن‬ ‫نومإن نيمريندواا م‬
‫خنيانننت ن‬
71. And if they intend to act unfaithfully towards you, so indeed they acted unfaithfully
towards Allah before, but He gave (you) mastery over them; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
Surah Anfal 8:71
 Allah did not say “Allah betrayed them”
 When Allah described the hypocrites in Surah nisa
‫ؤ‬ ‫ل نونهنو شنخمدنعنه ؤم نوإمنذا نقانمىواا إمنلى ٱل ل‬ ‫ش‬ ‫ش‬
‫س نونل نيذنكنرونن ٱ ل ن‬
١٤٢ ‫ل إملل نقمليضل‬ ‫صنلشومة نقانمواا نكنسانلشى نينرانءونن ٱللنا ن‬ ‫إملن ٱؤلنمننمفمقينن نينخمدنعونن ٱ ل ن‬
142. Surely the hypocrites strive to deceive Allah, and He shall requite their deceit to them, and
when they stand up to prayer they stand up sluggishly; they do it only to be seen of men and do
not remember Allah save a little. Surah nisaa 4:142

 Deception and deceit is a praiseworthy attribute when restricted sense


 Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬described war as deception ‫الحرب خدع‬
 ‫ ل تخن من خان‬he also described don’t betray those who betray you

3.Warning the transgressors

Allah gives respite ‫يملي‬


He then seizes then a final chastisement or punishment

‫نوٱللمذينن نكلذنبواا ‍نمب‍اشنيمتننا نسننؤسنتؤدمرنجنهم بمؤن نحؤي ن‬


١٨٢ ‫ث نل نيؤعنلنمونن‬
182. And (as to) those who reject Our communications, We draw them near (to destruction) by
degrees from whence they know not.

How can we distinguish between the blessing of allah and the increase in worldly measure
?due to Allah’s giving respite in transgression
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
If the person is upon righteousness and obedience then this is favor if he is upon misguidance
and disobedience then this is granting of respite by giving more before Allah seizes
‫استدراج‬
Hypocrites are blinded from knowing truth .4

Exceeding limits transgression- a person gives his won saying over the saying of allah and His
messenger
‫ى‬
‫ش نيأ نلينها ٱللمذينن نءانمننواا نل نتنقبدنمواا نبؤينن نينديم ٱللم نونرنسولممهةۦ نوٱلتنقواا ٱ ل م ن‬
‫ل إملن ٱ ل ن‬
١ ‫ل نسمميءع نعمليةم‬
1. O you who believe! be not forward in the presence of Allah and His Messenger, and be
careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
Surah Hujurat 49:1
‫ى‬
١٦ ‫ض شلنلننة مبٱؤلنهندشى نفنما نرمبنحت بتشنجنرنتنه ؤم نونما نكاننواا نمؤهنتمدينن‬
‫أ ن اوشلنمئنك ٱللمذينن ٱؤشنتنرنواا ٱل ل‬
16. These are they who buy error for the right direction, so their bargain shall bring no gain,
nor are they the followers of the right direction. Surah baqarah 16
Explanation
1. They purchased misguidance for guidance- profitless trade
2. Loser in commerce
3. Man may think that he is doing good but he is doing evil
4. Los of hypocrites in that which they seek for profit
5. Profiting and losing revolves around the following or not following guidance- surah Al
Asr
‫ نتؤؤممننونن مبٱللم نونرنسولممهۦ نونتشنجمهندونن مفي نسمبيمل ٱللم مبأ نؤمشنولمك ؤمن‬١٠ ‫ب أنمليةم‬ ‫ى‬
‫ش نيأ نلينها ٱللمذينن نءانمننواا نهؤل أنندللنك ؤم نعلنشى متشنجنر ةة نتن م‬
‫جينكم بمؤن نعنذا ة‬
‫ش‬
١١ ‫نونأنفنمسنك مؤم نذلمنك ؤم نخؤيةر للنك ؤم مإن نكننت ؤم نتؤعنلنمونن‬
10. O you who believe! shall I lead you to a merchandise which may deliver you from a
painful chastisement?
11. You shall believe in Allah and His Messenger, and struggle hard in Allah´s way with
your property and your lives; that is better for you, did you but know! Surah saff 10-11

6. Hypocrites are not guided


 Every mischief doer and innovator feels he is upon guidance and does not retract
from his evil
 Simple ignorance is better than compound state of ignorance.

17. Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had illumined all
around him, Allah took away their light, and left them in utter darkness-- they do not see.
18. Deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they will not turn back.
19. Or like abundant rain from the cloud in which is utter darkness and thunder and lightning;
they put their fingers into their ears because of the thunder peal, for fear of death, and Allah
encompasses the unbelievers.
Explanation
Their likeness is like the one who ask one to kindle to fire or asks something so he can kindle
fire. When it lights (around the one who kindled it) but it did not reach far, Allah took away the
light, the heat alone remained of the fire.
The moment light imitated Allah took it away
Differences in the Pronouns used

‫أن ن‬
1. Singular person 0 two singular nouns ‫ٱؤسنتؤونقند‬and ‫ نحؤونلنهۥ‬,‫ضانءؤت‬
2. Plural ‫ مبننومرمه ؤم‬and ‫صنرونن‬
‫ نيؤب م‬,‫نونتنرنكنه ؤم‬
Reason for differences in Pronoun
1. Allah is referring with a demonstrative pronoun denoting generality; then it is applicable
to singular and plural. The plurality refers to demonstrative article in context of meaning
2. The one who kindles the fire had company with him-kindled for himself and his
company- the verse is exemplifying the heads of hypocrites and their followers. Head-
one who kindle of fire followers are others- the light went away and all of them were left
in darkness
types of Darkness –
1. Darkness of Night ‫ظلمة الليل‬
2. Darkness of weather (cloudy)
3. Darkness remnant after light is taken away
It is more dark then the prevalent one.

‫صملم نبؤكءم نعؤمةي نفنه ؤم نل نيؤر م‬


١٨ ‫جنعونن‬ ‫ن‬

‫صلم‬
‫ن‬
 Deaf- deaf from the truth, they don’t hear it
 Negation of beneficial hearing –not comprehension and listening.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 It is not physical and comprehensive listening
 Deaf to the signs of Allah from His messenger

٢١ ‫نونل نتنكوننواا نكٱللمذينن نقانلواا نسممؤعننا نونه ؤم نل نيؤسنمنعونن‬


21. And be not like those who said, We hear, and they did not obey. Surah Anfaaal 8:21

‫نبؤكءم‬

 Dumb: they are dumb in truth do not speak the truth


 All channels of truth are blocked – no hearing no speaking nor seeing

‫نفنه ؤم نل نيؤر م‬
‫جنعونن‬
It is because of these three qualities- don’t return to truth

Benefits of the verses:


1. Eloquence of Quran
 Parable between theming physical to that which is comprehended.
٤٣ ‫س نونما نيؤعمقل ننها إملل ٱؤلشنعلمنمونن‬ ‫نومتؤلنك ٱؤلنؤمشنثنل نن ؤ‬
‫ضمرنبنها ملللنا ة م‬
43. And (as for) these examples, We set them forth for men, and none understand them
but the learned. [Surah Ankaboot 29:43]
.
2. Affirming Analogy
 Analogy is an evidence to be considered and taken
 Allah wants us to make knowledge of hypocrites and the kindler of fire
 Every parable in quran s evidence for affirmation of analogy
3. No light in the hearts of hypocrites
 When guidance comes to them- it diminishes since swiftly and does not settle.
4. Faith is light
It influences even the heart of hypocrites
And when it lit that which is around”
Faith did light their hearts, but it had no basis or foundations it extinguished

٣ ‫طمبنع نعنلشى قننلومبمه ؤم نفنه ؤم نل نيؤفنقنهونن‬ ‫شنذلم ن‬


‫ك مبأ نلننه ؤم نءانمننواا نثلم نكنفنرواا نف ن‬

4. That is because they believe, then disbelieve, so a seal is set upon their hearts so that
they do not understand. Surah munafiqoon 63:3
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223

5. Intense Dark nesses replaced the light

6. Allah recompensed them in accordance with what was there in their hearts

Does man have no chance in faith or belief as jabariyyah?


Allah took away their light because they were the cause of their light being taken away. Every
description of misguidance from Allah is because of cause from them

٥ ‫نفنللما نزانغىواا أننزانغ ٱلل ن قننلونبنه مؤم نوٱلل ن نل نيؤهمدي ٱؤلنقؤونم ٱؤلشنفمسمقينن‬
And when Musa said to his people: O my people! why do you give me trouble? And you
know indeed that I am Allah´s messenger to you; but when they turned aside, Allah
made their hearts turn aside, and Allah does not guide the transgressing people. Surah
Saff 5

7. Abandoning of Hypocrites by Allah


 Whoever Allah abandons he is doomed to destruction.
 Hypocrites don’t utter truth – dumb
 Don’t see truth- blind
 Turn not to right path since the feel they are righteous, companions to believers
outwardly and to disbelievers inwardly
‫حي م ن‬
١٩ ‫ط مبٱؤلشنكمفمرينن‬ ‫صشنومعمق نحنذنر ٱؤلنمؤو م م‬

‫صبي ة‬
19. Or like abundant rain from the cloud in which is utter darkness and thunder and lightning;
they put their fingers into their ears because of the thunder peal, for fear of death, and Allah
encompasses the unbelievers.
Three types of darkness
1. Darkness of rain: density of cloud producing darkness
2. Darkness of the night(“lightening snatches their sight”) and
3. Darkness of the cloud- clound upon another causing darkness
Thunder and Lightning
There is darkness of night along with
1. The rainfall (the quran) and
2. Thunder (the Threat of the quran)
3. Lightening (Promise of the quran)
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
‫صشنومعمق نحنذنر ٱؤلنمؤو مم‬
‫ت‬ ‫نيؤجنعنلونن أن ش ن‬
‫صمبنعنه ؤم مفىي نءانذامنمهم بمنن ٱل ل‬
Thrust their fingers in the ears- metaphoric or not?

 Evidence to show this is not metaphoric as ans.

‫أن ش ن‬
Argument :Not all fingers can enters the ear since word used here is “fingers” ‫صمبنعنه ؤم‬
Ans. Fingers are plural and there are plurality of people hence not metaphoric.
 Argument :Whole finger cannot enter the ear
Ans. The whole finger need to penetrate inside to enter it
 Two arguments – shows metaphorism- INCORRECT.
There is not metaphor originally in QURAN?
The end
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223

Lesson 7
Metaphors in Quran- does not occur

 The verses of quran are understood with its context


 Thunder clap originating from lightening and burns the one it strikes.
 It false on houses and destroys them-firemass moves fast and intensely
 For fear of death –thrust putting finger into ears

‫صشنومعمق نحنذنر ٱؤلنمؤو م م‬


‫ت‬ ‫نيؤجنعنلونن أن ش ن‬
‫صمبنعنه ؤم مفىي نءانذامنمهم بمنن ٱل ل‬
Thrust their fingers in the ears.
Explanation

 Not seeing the danger does not mean we are saved- as they are doing
 Muheet- One who encompasses.

‫صمرمه مؤم إملن ٱ ل ن‬


‫ل نعنلشى نكبل‬ ‫ضانء نلنهم لمنشؤواا مفيمه نوإمنذا أنؤظنلنم نعنلؤيمه ؤم نقانموماا نونلؤو نشانء ٱلل ن نلنذنه ن‬

‫ف أنؤب ش ن‬
٢٠ ‫نشؤيةء نقمديةر‬
20. The lightning almost takes away their sight; whenever it shines on them they walk in it, and
when it becomes dark to them they stand still; and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have
taken away their hearing and their sight; surely Allah has power over all things.

‫ نيؤخنط ن‬take away


‫ف‬

 When the light occurs they walk, when there is darkness they stand still
 Allah is able to take away their hearing and sight without lightening
 This example applies to the hypocrites who didn’t believe originally like the Jews
 Some hypocrites were from Arabs – aws and Khazraj
 Jews never had faith, pretended Islam – were originally on kufur- feared Prophet ‫ﷺ‬after
victory of Ramadan
 The example of those who kindled a fire and turned away – those who were Arabs.

‫شةب لمنسلنند ةةة نيؤحنسنبونن نكلل ن‬


‫صؤينحةة نعنلؤيمه مؤم نهنم ٱؤلنعندلو نفٱؤحنذؤرنه مؤم شنقنتنلنهنم‬ ‫ك أنؤجنسانمنه ةؤم نومإن نينقونلواا نتؤسنمؤع لمنقؤولممه ةؤم نكأ نلننه ؤم نخ ن‬ ‫۞نوإمنذا نرأنؤينتنه ؤم نتؤع م‬
‫جنب ن‬
٤ ‫ٱ ةلل ن أنلنشى نيؤؤنفنكونن‬
4. And when you see them, their persons will please you, and If they speak, you will listen
to their speech; (they are) as if they were big pieces of wood clad with garments; they
think every cry to be against them. They are the enemy, therefore beware of them; may
Allah destroy them, whence are they turned back? Surah Munafiqoon 63:4
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 The light is that of islam it only flashes and faith did not enter their hearts of people
and only saw the light to be of benefit and hence they took it up.
Type of Hypocrites
There are two types of Hypocrites

Jew Hypocrites Arab Hypocrites


Had faith and later forsook it Never had faith only pretended islam to
benefit from its dominance
Example of fire kindled in first example is Example of them who thrust their fingers
surah baqarah upon thunder and lightening

٣ ‫طمبنع نعلنشى قننلومبمه ؤم نفنه ؤم نل نيؤفنقنهونن‬ ‫شنذلم ن‬


‫ك مبأ نلننه ؤم نءانمننواا نثلم نكنفنرواا نف ن‬
3. That is because they believe, then
disbelieve, so a seal is set upon their hearts
so that they do not understand.

Faith did not truly enter heart but only Only saw power and authority of Islam
superficially
Overcome by pride and racisms as prophet Overcome by fear of Loss of power over
‫ﷺ‬came from Arabs Medina and establishment of islam after the
migration of the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬

Benefits of the Verse


1. Threat to hypocrites
2. Intense lightening snatches light
3. Nature of man keeps away from thath which destroys him
“If the darkness covers them they stand still”
4. Affirming the will of allah
If Allah had willed Allah would have takent their hearing and sight
5. Man should turn to allah to enjoy
Matti’na bi asmaa’ina wa biabsaawrina wa quwwatina maa ahyaytana
“Enjoy us of allah in our hearing, our sight and in our strength in our lives”
6. Allah has Power over all things
7. Ability of Allah to cause a causation without anything
He can take their sight and hearing without cause.

٢١ ‫س ٱؤعنبندواا نرلبنكنم ٱللمذي نخنلنقنك ؤم نوٱللمذينن ممن نقؤبلمنك ؤم نلنعللنك ؤم نتلتنقونن‬
21. O men! serve your Lord Who created you and those before you so that you may guard
(against evil).
Explanation

 He alone has right to be worshipped- do not set uup partners


 He reminds man o his favors- the earth, seven heavens
 ‫ذلول‬، ‫ مهاد‬،‫فراش‬
‫شواا مفي نمننامكمبنها نونكنلواا ممن برؤزمقمهةۦ نوإملنؤيمه ٱللن ن‬
١٥ ‫شونر‬ ‫نهنو ٱللمذي نجنعنل لننكنم ٱؤلنؤر ن‬

15. He it is Who made the earth smooth for you, therefore go about in the spacious sides
thereof, and eat of His sustenance, and to Him is the return after death.
١٢ ‫نونبننؤيننا نفؤونقنك ؤم نسؤب ضعا مشنداضدا‬
12. And We made above you seven strong ones,
Surah Naba 78: 2

The rain comes from clouds – are between the heavens and the earth.
‫ف نبؤينننهۥ نثلم نيؤجنعل ننهۥ نرنكا ضما نفنتنرى ٱؤلنوؤدنق نيؤخنرنج ممؤن م ش‬

‫صمرفننهۥ نعن لمن نينشانء نينكاند نسننا نبؤرمقمهۦ نيذنه ن‬ ‫ب مبمهۦ نمن نينشانء نوني ؤ‬ ‫صي ن‬ ‫نفني م‬
43. Do you not see that Allah drives along the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles
them up, so that you see the rain coming forth from their midst? And He sends down of the
clouds that are (like) mountains wherein is hail, afflicting therewith whom He pleases and
turning it away from whom He pleases; the flash of His lightning almost takes away the sight.
Surah Nur 24:43
‫س نونما نأننزنل ٱلل ن ممنن ٱللسنمامء ممن لماةء‬ ‫ض نوٱؤخمتشنل م‬
‫ف ٱللؤيمل نوٱللننهامر نوٱؤلفنؤلمك ٱللمتي نتؤجمري مفي ٱؤلنبؤحمر مبنما نيننفنع ٱللنا ن‬ ‫ت نوٱؤلنؤر م‬ ‫إملن مفي نخؤلمق ٱللسشنمشنو م‬

164. Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night
and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that which profits men, and the water that
Allah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to the earth after its death and spreads
in it all (kinds of) animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made subservient
between the heaven and the earth, there are signs for a people who understand. Surah baqarah
2:164
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
The samaa’ or sky has two meanings
1. Roof above us – structure on top of us
2. Uloo- highness or raised above
‫ت مرؤزضقا للنك ةؤم نفنل نتؤجنعنلواا مللم نأننداضدا نونأننت ؤم‬ ‫ٱللمذي نجنعنل نلنكنم ٱؤلنؤر ن‬

٢٢ ‫نتؤعنلنمونن‬
22. Who made the earth a resting place for you and the heaven a canopy and (Who) sends
down rain from the cloud then brings forth with it subsistence for you of the fruits; therefore do
not set up rivals to Allah while you know. Surah baqarah 2: 22

 Niddan- rivals or equals


 There is no eual in creation, provision, sustenance – so do not worship others or join
partners
 Elements of Lordship- Creation, Sustenance and Provisions
 Pagans attest ruboobiyyah of allah but associate in worship of Allah- could not accept
One Lord

‫أننجنعنل ٱؤلىلمنهنة إم شلن ضها شنو م‬


٥ ‫حددةا إملن شنهنذا لننشؤيءء نعنجاةب‬
5. What! makes he the gods a single Allah? A strange thing is this, to be sure! Surah Sad 38:5
The scholars said that

and intellect.
 Sunnah mentions through statement implication and attestation
 Scholars and the imams- entire Ummah who remained on pure inclination.
 Allah is not inside the world nor outside the world – philosophical statements were
denied
 Intellect- transcendence is attribute of perfection – all attributes of perfection are
affirmed for allah; every person is created on natural inclination is above everything in
himself, even though one is unread he still raises his hands for dua.
 One of the famous scholars who used to hold to the opinion that Allah is not above his
throne, Abal ma’ali al juwainee
 His student told him when we call we are raising our hand, so Juwaini said “al hamdani
perplexed me.”

of naisaboor (affirmed pure fitrah that Allah is above creation.”

resolved to studying the hadeeth.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Qais:


The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "(There will be) two Paradises of silver and all the utensils and whatever is
therein (will be of silver); and two Paradises of gold, and its utensils and whatever therein (will
be of gold), and there will be nothing to prevent the people from seeing their Lord except the
Cover of Majesty over His Face in the Paradise of Eden (eternal bliss).
: Sahih al-Bukhari 7444

Paradise of types like milk, honey and wine are created for other reasons unlike those on earth
Rivers in this world flow on paths which we know- no boundaries man diresct them according
to his need
Ibn Qayyim said, in his Nooniyyah
“Its river without paths flow most glorified the One who holds them from flowing.”

but only continuously burns and their skins are replaced with new ones and does not
kill them.

26. Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable-- (that of) a gnat or any thing above
that; then as for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord, and as for
those who disbelieve, they say: What is it that Allah means by this parable: He causes many to
err by it and many He leads aright by it! but He does not cause to err by it (any) except the
transgressors, surah 2:26
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
Explanation

‫ضقة نفنما نفلونقنهاا‬


‫ب نمنثقل دما نبأعو ن‬ ‫إردن ٱ د ن‬
‫ل نل نيلسنتلحيرۦۦ نأن ني ل‬
‫ضرر ن‬
 Allah is not ashamed of giving parables even though it is looked upon as despicable or
low as long as the truth is affirmed- objective is to affirm the truth. The parables which
Allah set contain lessons and wisdom for benefit of mankind
 Mosquito – a parable set to express, how things could be so insignificant or lowly or
minute
Reason for revelation

 The pagans objected to as to how come Allah sets parables with the fly to establish
evidence?
‫ب نش ض ؤ ‍ي‍ا لل‬ ‫ب نمنثةل نفٱؤسنتممنعواا نلنهمىۥ إملن ٱللمذينن نتؤدنعونن ممن ندومن ٱ ل م‬
‫ل نلن نيؤخل ننقواا نذنبا ضبا نولنمو ٱؤجنتنمنعواا نلنهةۥ نومإن نيؤسل نؤبنهنم ٱللذنبا ن‬ ‫ضمر ن‬
‫س ن‬ ‫ش ىنيأ نلينها ٱللنا ن‬
٧٣ ‫ب‬ ‫ب نوٱؤلنمؤطنلو ن‬ ‫ف ٱللطالم ن‬ ‫نيؤسنتنمقنذوهن ممؤنمنه ن‬
‫ضنع ن‬
73. O people! a parable is set forth, therefore listen to it: surely those whom you call upon
besides Allah cannot create fly, though they should all gather for it, and should the fly snatch
away anything from them, they could not take it back from i weak are the invoker and the
invoked. Surah hajj 22:73

 So verse was revealed


‫نفنما نفلونقنهاا‬

 This shows the extent of setting parables or could be higher than mosquito like fly.
 Here it means less when it is smaller ‫ ;نفلونقنهاا‬though the term could be something low or
high
 ‫ نفلونقنهاا‬could refer to low or higher as ‫نونرانءنهم‬which could mean both front or behind
‫ت أنؤن أنمعينبنها نونكانن نونرانءنهم لملمةك نيؤأنخنذ نكلل نسمفيننةة نغ ؤ‬
٧٩ ‫ص ضبا‬ ‫أنلما ٱللسمفينننة نفنكاننؤت لمنمشنسمكينن نيؤعنمنلونن مفي ٱؤلنبؤحمر نفأ ننرد ل‬

79. As for the boat, it belonged to (some) poor men who worked on the river and I wished that I
should damage it, and there was behind them a king who seized every boat by force.
What matters to Allah is the objective and not the lowness or highness
‫نفأ ندما ٱدلرذينن نءانمأنواا نفنيلعنلأمونن أندنأه ٱللنحمق رمن درربره ةلم‬

 Believers have faith in the parable and in this are clear signs.
١٢٤ ‫نوإمنذا نما نأنمزنلؤت نسونرةة نفممؤننهم لمن نينقونل أنلينك ؤم نزاندؤتنه شنهمذمهىۦ مإيشنمضنما نفأ نلما ٱللمذينن نءانمننواا نفنزاندؤتنه ؤم مإيشنمضنا نونه ؤم نيؤسنتؤبمشنرونن‬
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
124. And whenever a chapter is revealed, there are some of them who say: Which of you has it
strengthened in faith? Then as for those who believe, it strengthens them in faith and they
rejoice. Surah tawbah 124
‫نوأندما ٱدلرذينن نكنفأرواا نفنيأقوألونن نمانذا أننراند ٱدل أ ربكنهنذا نمنثقل‬

 Hypocrites of disbelievers only doubt parables; since they turned away from their truth
and Alalh describes them
١٣ ‫إمنذا نتؤتنلشى نعنلؤيمه نءاشنينتننا نقانل أنشنسمطينر ٱؤلنلوملينن‬
13. When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
‫نك ل ة‬
١٤ ‫ل نب ؤلل نرانن نعنلشى قننلومبمهم لما نكاننواا نيؤكمسنبونن‬
14. Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
Surah muttaaffin 13-14
This makes clear the reason for coining parables because when revelation comes to them they
hold it as tales or fables of old

٢٦ ‫ضل م ربرهۦۦ إردل ٱللكنفرسرقينن‬


‫ضل م ربرهۦ نكرثيقرا نونيلهردي ربرهۦ نكرثيقراا نونما أي ر‬
‫أي ر‬
‫فسق‬

Types of Fisq
1. Absolute rebellion

‫نوأنلما ٱللمذينن نفنسنقواا نفنمؤأنوشىنهنم ٱللناةنر نكللنما أننراندىواا نأن نيؤخنرنجواا ممؤننها أ نمعيندواا مفينها نومقينل نلنه ؤم نذونقواا نعنذا ن‬
٢٠ ‫ب ٱللنامر ٱللمذي نكننتم مبمهۦ نتنكبذنبونن‬
20. And as for those who transgress, their abode is the fire; whenever they desire to go forth
from it they shall be brought back into it, and it will be said to them: Taste the chastisement of
the fire which you called a lie. Surah sajdah 32:20
Fisq here is disbelief or Major fisq;
This is the same fisq in here 2:26

Affirming Bashfulness to Allah


Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated: Allah is characterized by modesty, and He is ashamed
to turn away His servant empty-handed when he raises them to Him. (Related by Muslim in his
Sahih [authentic] Book of Hadith)
“Verily Allah is not shamed” indicates Allah’s bashfulness to that which opposes this situation
and that which requires it

 Being ashamed from falsehood is Perfect Attribute- Attribute of Allah


 Bashfulness is affirmed by Allah for Himself, believer must affirm it to.
 Allah speech – perfect truth, knowledge, good intent and clarity all necessitates the
acceptance of what He tells.
 Speech of Allah is unprecedented
٢٦ ‫ب نعنلؤينك مؤم نوٱلل ن نعمليءم نحمكيةم‬
‫نيمريند ٱلل ن لمنينببينن نلنك ؤم نونيؤهمدنينك ؤم نسنننن ٱللمذينن ممن نقؤبلمنك ؤم نونينتو ن‬
26. Allah desires to explain to you, and to guide you into the ways of those before you, and to
turn to you (mercifully), and Allah is Knowing, Wise. [Surah nisa 4:26]
‫ك نونهنو نيمرنثنها مإن لل ؤم نينكن للنها نونل ةمد نفمإن نكانننتا‬ ‫ف نما نتنر م ن‬ ‫ص ن‬ ‫س نلنهۥ نونلةد نونلنهىۥ أ نؤخةت نفنلنها من ؤ‬ ‫ك قنمل ٱلل ن نيؤفمتينك ؤم مفي ٱؤلنكشنلنلممة إممن ٱؤمنرءؤاا نهنل ن‬
‫ك نلؤي ن‬ ‫نيؤسنتؤفنتونن ن‬
‫م‬
‫ضللواا نوٱلل ن مبنكبل نشؤيةء نعمليمنم‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ؤ‬ ‫ؤ‬
‫ك نومإن نكاننىواا إمؤخنوضة برنجاضل نومننسا ضء نفملللذنكمر ممثنل نحبظ ٱلننثنيؤيممن نينببينن ٱلل ن نلنك ؤم نأن نت م‬ ‫ٱؤثنننتؤيمن نفنلنهنما ٱللثل ننثامن مملما نتنر م ن‬
١٧٦
176. They ask you for a decision of the law. Say: Allah gives you a decision concerning the
person who has neither parents nor offspring; if a man dies (and) he has no son and he has a
sister, she shall have half of what he leaves, and he shall be her heir she has no son; but if there
be two (sisters), they shall have two-thirds of what he leaves; and if there are brethren, men
and women, then the male shall have the like of the portion of two females; Allah makes clear
to you, lest you err; and Allah knows all things. 4
We should affirm the obvious meaning of attribute except if the authentic texts bring a reason
not to affirm to it
Bashfulness of Allah is not same as bashfulness of people- man is unable to resist and finds
himself humiliated, attribute of weakness with respect to man, if happens inappropriately

‫ت ٱؤلنعننكنبو م م‬
٤١ ‫ت لنؤو نكاننواا نيؤعنلنمونن‬ ‫ت ٱلتنخنذؤت نبؤيضتةا نوإملن أنؤونهنن ٱؤلنبنيو م‬
‫ت لننبؤي ن‬ ‫نمنثنل ٱللمذينن ٱلتنخنذواا ممن ندومن ٱللم أنؤولمنيانء نكنمنثمل ٱؤلنعننكنبو م‬
41. The parable of those who take guardians besides Allah is as the parable of the spider that
makes for itself a house; and most surely the frailest of the houses is the spider´s house did they
but know. Surah ankaboot 29:41

 Spider web is not protected from wind or water.


‫جينبونن نلنهم مبنشؤيةء إملل نكشنبمسمط نكلفؤيمه إمنلى ٱؤلنمامء لمنيؤبل ننغ نفاهن نونما نهنو مبشنبلممغمهۦم نونما ندنعانء‬ ‫م‬
‫نلنهۥ ندؤعنوةن ٱؤلنحبق نوٱللمذينن نيؤدنعونن ممن ندومنمهۦ نل نيؤسنت م‬
١٤ ‫ضشنلةل‬ ‫ٱؤلشنكمفمرينن إملل مفي ن‬
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
14. To Him is due the true prayer; and those whom they pray to besides Allah give them no
answer, but (they are) like one who stretches forth his two hands towards water that it may
reach his mouth, but it will not reach it; and the prayer of the unbelievers is only in error. Surah
raad 13:14
Parables or similitudes being closer to the meaning of a concept and the wisdom

2. Mosquito is low and despicable creature


It gives no rest to itself- can destroy man
3. Allah uses parables to derive meanings which settle in minds
4. Affirmation of analogy or qiyas- analogy is proof, because every parable set by allah is
quran is proof of affirmation of analogy
Mercy of allah who establish parables and meaning settle in mind
5. Excellence of faith; believer does not really stand to object parables, but only objects
due to his own faulty reasoning or arrogance

‫نفأ ندما ٱدلرذينن نءانمأنواا نفنيلعنلأمونن أندنأه ٱللنحمق رمن درربره ةلم‬
6. Affirmation of will of Allah or irada
Will of Allah is of two types

27. And Allah desires that He should turn to you (mercifully), and those who follow (their)
lusts desire that you should deviate (with) a great deviation. Suran nisa 4:27

2. Universal will

‫ت أنؤن نأن ن‬
‫حىي إمؤن أننرد ل‬ ‫نونل نيننفنعنك ؤم نن ؤ‬
‫ص م‬
34. And if I intend to give you good advice, my advice will not profit you if Allah intended
that He should leave you to go astray; He is your Lord, and to Him shall you be returned.
Surah hud 11:34
٢٥٣ ‫مۚ نولنؤو نشانء ٱلل ن نما ٱؤقنتنتنلواا نو شلنمكلن ٱللن نيؤفنعنل نما نيمريند‬

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O Adam.' Adam will reply,
'Labbaik wa Sa`daik', and all the good is in Your Hand.' Allah will say: 'Bring out the people of the
fire.' Adam will say: 'O Allah! How many are the people of the Fire?' Allah will reply: 'From every
one thousand, take out nine-hundred-and ninety-nine.' At that time children will become hoary
headed, every pregnant female will have a miscarriage, and one will see mankind as drunken,
yet they will not be drunken, but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah." The companions of the
Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is that (excepted) one?" He said, "Rejoice with glad
tidings; one person will be from you and one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog." The
Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬further said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, hope that you will be one-fourth
of the people of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He added, "I hope that you will be one-
third of the people of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He said, "I hope that you will be
half of the people of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He further said, "You (Muslims)
(compared with non Muslims) are like a black hair in the skin of a white ox or like a white hair in
the skin of a black ox (i.e. your number is very small as compared with theirs). Sahih al-Bukhari
3348
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 ‫ نكرثيقرا‬Many really does not mean numerous it could be few as well as seen in the hadeeth
– the number of beleivers is few
8. Guidance and Misguidance is from Allah
 Purification is not from man himself he does not do it is himself, it is favour of Allah upon
him
 Response to deviant sect who hold that man is independent of Allah and has nothing to
do with will of Allah.
 Allah does not mislead anyone except that he deserves misguidance
٥ ‫نفنللما نزانغىواا أننزانغ ٱلل ن قننلونبنه مؤم نوٱلل ن نل نيؤهمدي ٱؤلنقؤونم ٱؤلشنفمسمقينن‬
5. And when Musa said to his people: O my people! why do you give me trouble? And
you know indeed that I am Allah´s messenger to you; but when they turned aside, Allah
made their hearts turn aside, and Allah does not guide the transgressing people. 61:5

them twelve chieftains; and Allah said: Surely I am with you; if you keep up prayer and pay the
poor-rate and believe in My messengers and assist them and offer to Allah a goodly gift, I will
most certainly cover your evil deeds, and I will most certainly cause you to enter into gardens
beneath which rivers flow, but whoever disbelieves from among you after that, he indeed shall

Narrated Zainab bint Jahsh:


That the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬once came to her in a state of fear and said, "None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah. Woe unto the Arabs from a danger that has come near. An opening has
been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like this," making a circle with his thumb and index
finger. Zainab bint Jahsh said, "O Allah's Messenger (‫ !)ﷺ‬Shall we be destroyed even though
there are pious persons among us?" He said, "Yes, when the evil person will increase." Sahih al-
Bukhari 3346
Evil can spread in many ways:
a) Evil from few becomes abundant and righteous do not stop it
b) Disbelievers become more on earth and their action are evil
Righteousness on earth is from qualities of good 0 just and uprightness

‫نتؤكفننرونن‬

 Comes from kafara to cover or deny

2. Man before soul is breathed into him is inanimate and is not considered from living> If
fetus comes out before soul is blown into it then there is no ruling of living thing – no

When is life breathed into fetus?

Narrated `Abdullah:
Allah's Messenger (‫)ﷺ‬, the true and truly inspired said, "(as regards your creation), every one of
you is collected in the womb of his mother for the first forty days, and then he becomes a clot
for another forty days, and then a piece of flesh for another forty days. Then Allah sends an
angel to write four items: He writes his deeds, time of his death, means of his livelihood, and
whether he will be wretched or blessed (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into his body. So
a man may do deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire, so much so that there is only
the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel)
surpasses, and so he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise and enters
Paradise. Similarly, a person may do deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise, so much so
that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written
(by the angel) surpasses, and he starts doing deeds of the people of the (Hell) Fire and enters
the (Hell) Fire." Sahih al-Bukhari 3332

3. Death can used to describe a thing without life or just lifelessness; need not be preceded
by life as Allah says

258. Have you not considered him (Namrud) who disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord, because
Allah had given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim said: My Lord is He who gives life and causes
to die, he said: I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said: So surely Allah causes the sun to rise
from the east, then make it rise from the west; thus he who disbelieved was confounded; and
Allah does not guide aright the unjust people. 2:258

Lesson 13
‫ى‬
‫ضنه ؤم نعنلى ٱؤلنمشلنمئنكمة نفنقانل أنمن ‍نمب‍ومني مبأ نؤسنمامء ش ىنهنؤنلمء مإن نكننت ؤم ش ن‬
٣١ ‫صمدمقينن‬ ‫نونعللنم نءاندنم ٱؤلنؤسنمانء نكللنها نثلم نعنر ن‬
31. And He taught Adam all the names, then presented them to the angels; then He said: Tell
me the names of those if you are right.
٣٢ ‫ت ٱؤلنعملينم ٱؤلنحمكينم‬ ‫ك نل معؤلنم نلننا إملل نما نعللؤمنتننةا إملن ن‬
‫ك نأن ن‬ ‫نقانلواا نسؤبشنحنن ن‬
32. They said: Glory be to Thee! we have no knowledge but that which Thou hast taught us;
surely Thou art the Knowing, the Wise.
Explanation

 Allah taught Adam the father of humanity; are they the things present then or all thigns
required for all humanity? They are things which Adam needed
 Angel didn’t know the names; Allah intended to show that angels cannot comprehend
everything and that they miss certain things whereby Adam excel them
 Allah challenges them, evident from the statement “if you are truthful” -

Benefits of verse
1. Making clear that Allah bestow certain knowledge on some of His creature not known to
others
2. Languages are restricted to what Allah told mind not experimental- Allah taught us
languages had it not been for Allah to teach languages and mankind would not know
of it.
 Originally they are restricted to what Allah taught then many developed experimentally
3. Permissibility man to test in that which he claims to excel in
4. Permissibility to use strong challenging statements with intensity
5. Angels speak
6. Admittance by angels of not knowing except what Allah tells them; man should learn his
proper estimate and should not exceed and claim what he does not know
7. Great glorification of angels of Allah; declaring him free from any defect. Admitting his
favor upon him
8. Affirming two names of the names of Allah, Al Aleem the All knowing and Al Hakeem- All
wise
Allah’s knowledge encompasses all His creations and their action
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
Allah’s Wisdom cannot fully be comprehended with our minds. Wisdom –placing the thing in it
proper place, pre ordinance of Allah ; legislation too is in it’s proper place, and shariah
Nothing does Allah ordaind except that there is wisdom in it.
The universal decrees are praised could be known to us or unknown
Al hakeem- One who posses judgement and authority- none can check after it
1. Legal Judgement
the judgment revealed to His messenger

‫أننفنحؤكنم ٱؤلشنجمهلمليمة نيؤبنغومنن نونمؤن أنؤحنسنن ممنن ٱ ل م‬


٥٠ ‫ل نحؤك ضما لبنقؤوةم نيومقننونن‬
50. Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance that they desire? And who is better than
Allah to judge for a people who are sure?

2. Universal judgement
Allah decreed on His slaves, difficulties,grief,calamities and trials

‫جضويةا نقانل نكمبينرنه ؤم أنلن ؤم نتؤعنلنمىواا أنلن أننبانك ؤم نقؤد أننخنذ نعلنؤينكم لمؤومثضقا بمنن ٱللم نوممن نقؤبنل نما نفلرطنت ؤم مفي نيونس ة ن‬

80. Then when they despaired of him, they retired, conferring privately together. The eldest
of them said: Do you not know that your father took from you a covenant in Allah´s name,
and how you fell short of your duty with respect to Yusuf before? Therefore I will by no
means depart from this land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is
the best of the judges: surah Yusuf 12:80
Difference between legal and universal judgement- legal judgement is not necessitated that
it will be execute on the one regarding whom is ruled –hence disobedience may occur-
oppsition to legal jjudgdment
Universal judgment- none can escape effectual on all slaves and all conditions

Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
29. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those with him are firm of heart against
the unbelievers, compassionate among themselves; you will see them bowing down,
prostrating themselves, seeking grace from Allah and pleasure; their marks are in their
faces because of the effect of prostration; that is their description in the Taurat and their
description in the Injeel; like as seed-produce that puts forth its sprout, then strengthens
it, so it becomes stout and stands firmly on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may
enrage the unbelievers on account of them; Allah has promised those among them who
believe and do good, forgiveness and a great reward.
٧٧ ۩‫ش ىنيأ نلينها ٱللمذينن نءانمننواا ٱؤرنكنعواا نوٱؤسنجندوااا نوٱؤعنبندواا نرلبنك ؤم نوٱؤفنعنلواا ٱؤلنخؤينر لننعللنك ؤم نتؤفلمنحونن‬

‫نونكانن ممنن ٱؤلشنكمفمرينن‬


 ۚ‫ نكاننن‬denotes is in past tense iblees was a disbeliever always
 ۚ‫ نكاننن‬is sometimes used without reference to time, deprived of time it is used to affirm
the qualities of what is being described by it e.g.

٩٦ ‫حيدما‬ ‫ندنرشنج ة‬
96. (High) degrees from Him and protection and mercy, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

158. Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise. Surah Nisaa 4:158

Benefits of the verse 34


1. Excellence of Adam over angels
 Allah ordered angels to prostrate to Adam out of magnification
How could Allah order prostration if it is worship?
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223

 This prostration is not of worship but of magnification . this prostration is not that of
worship because
a. Prostration of magnification
b. If Allah commands prostration to other than Him if it is Allah’s command then it
becomes worship to Allah since it is obedience and not worship of the to one
performed.
 If Allah command a forbidden thing, then obeying Him is worship evidence
 Killing ones soul which Allah forbade unjustly; if done in compliance to shariah it is
obedience and worship- Allah commanded Ibrahim to kill his son – Ibrahim obeying
Allah is worship
‫أننبشى نوٱؤسنتؤكنبنر‬
Refusal was not excusable it was due to false pride

‫ك أنلل نتؤسنجند إمؤذ أننمؤرنت ة ن‬


١٢ ‫ك نقانل أننناا نخؤيةر بمؤننه نخلنؤقنتمني ممن لناةر نونخلنؤقنتنهۥ ممن مطيةن‬ ‫نقانل نما نمنننع ن‬
12. He said: What hindered you so that you did not prostrate when I commanded you? He said:
I am better than he: Thou hast created me of fire, while him Thou didst create of dust.

50. And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam; they made obeisance but Iblis
(did it not). He was of the jinn, so he transgressed the commandment of his Lord. What! would
you then take him and his offspring for friends rather than Me, and they are your enemies? Evil
is (this) change for the unjust. Surah kahaf 18:50

How come iblees is not from angels yet the command address him?
He is included in the angels, he was with them worshipping like they did. However he was
overtaken by wickedness , when he was commanded to prostrate he saw himself above rank of
Adam.
2. Ruling are made on apparent
 Anyone who pretend to act from certain people he is from them
 Satan was not an gel not of their kind, since he was doing what they were doing the
address applied to him as well
 Those who accepted islam apparently were treated as Muslim based on their apparent
condition as Muslims
3. For the believers to be cautious from wicked concealment because satan was overtaken
bby wicked concealment until he was overtaken and he returned to his original state of
disbelief
Incumbent for one to free himself from disbelief-purify his heart continuously
So that he is not affected

It narrated from Sahl ibn sa’ad that during one of expedition prophet ‫ﷺ‬encountered
pagans and the two armies fought and then each of them returned to army camps.
Amongst the Muslim army them was a man who would follow every single isolated
pagan and strike him with his sword. It was said oh Allah’s messenger none has fought
satisfactorily except so and so (this man). Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said, “ He is from the dwellers of
hell-fire.” Who amongst us will be in paradise if this man is from the dwellers of hell-fire.
A man from amongst them said, I will follow him and accompany in his movements. The
brave man got wounded and wanted to die at once so he pressed his chest under the
spear killing himself. The man who saw this returned to the prophet ‫ ﷺ‬and said “I
testify that you are the messenger of Allah ” the prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said, “A man may do what
may seem to people as deeds of paradise but he is the dweller of hell-fire and a man
may do the deeds of hell-fire but he is the dweller of paradise.”

Sahih Al Bukhari Vol. 5 hadeeth no 518

 Wickedness was concealed in this man’s heart


 None can be called as martyred
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Duty of every believer to purify lest his end is upon sin or disbelief
4. Iblis was qualified with all blameworthy disdain agisnst truth creature, compliance and
disbelief
5. Orostrating to other than Allah if commanded by Him is worship
o It is because satan disobeyed he was disbeliever
o Scholars deduced that One who abandon salah is disbeliever since satan
abandons prostration
".verse 35

35. And We said: O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the garden and eat from it a plenteous
(food) wherever you wish and do not approach this tree, for then you will be of the unjust.
‫نوقنؤلننا ش ىني‍نـاندنم ٱؤسنكؤن نأن ن‬
‫ت نونزؤونجنك ٱؤلنجلننة‬

 His wife is eve


 Paradise- garden with abundant tree it is shielded is it everlasting abode or just
garden?- everlasting abode
 Anyone entering it will not come out-how do Adam and eve exist it? only after
resurrection those who enter Jannah will not come after it.

38. And certainly We sent messengers before you and gave them wives and children, and it is
not in (the power of) an messenger to bring a sign except by Allah´s permission; for every term
there is an appointment. Surah ra’ad 13:38

 Eve is created from rib of Adam but rather his wife- Allah is quralified with perfec
wisdom in His decrees
 He allowed daughter of Adam to marry her brother
7. Allah may test his slaves forbidding them from something which they like
 Test of the tree- they had attachment and inclination to that tree
8. Forbiddance to approach something, means forbidding to act accordingly
 Don’t come close to tthis tree -: meant don’t eat or (use it,) prohibition is on action it is
same as: understood in same context
‫ة‬
‫نونل نتؤقنرنبواا ٱلبزننشىى إملننهۥ نكانن شنف م‬

9. Man may choose the lesser good due to his desire
Adam and eve were permitted to eat everything in paradise except one thing but they went for

Verse 36

‫ض نمؤسنتنقةور نونمشنتءع إمنلشى م‬ ‫ة‬ ‫نفأ ننزللنهنما ٱللشؤيشنطنن نعؤننها نفأ نؤخنرنجنهنما مملما نكاننا مفيةمه نوقنؤلننا ٱؤهمب ن‬
٣٦ ‫حيةن‬ ‫ض نعند ة وو نونلنك ؤم مفي ٱؤلنؤر م‬
‫ضنك ؤم لمنبؤع ة‬
‫طواا نبؤع ن‬
36. But the Shaitan made them both fall from it, and caused them to depart from that (state) in
which they were; and We said: Get forth, some of you being the enemies of others, and there is
for you in the earth an abode and a provision for a time. Verse 36

Explanation
Shaytan is derived from t ree possible roots
1. ‫ شاطا‬- to become angry
2. ‫ شطنن‬Or from shatana- to become distant or one far rewmoved from mercy of Allah
‫نوقنؤلننا ٱؤهمب ن‬
‫طواا‬
All three is included- “ get you all down”
Enmity between all three and enjoyment for a while

Benefits of verse
1. Cautioning of slipping due to whispering of devil
2. Satan whispers to children of Adam- claims to them to be sincere advisor that eating
tree gives them everlasting abode
Makes the sin inferior and minutes in our eyes, asks us to do it and repent from it later
Beautifies the sin

3. Satan is an open enemy to man


‫حؤزنبنهۥ لمنينكوننواا ممؤن أن ؤ‬
‫صشنح م‬
٦ ‫ب ٱللسمعيمر‬ ‫إملن ٱللشؤيشنطنن لننك ؤم نعندةوو نفٱلت م‬
‫خنذوهن نعنددووما إملننما نيؤدنعواا م‬
7. Surely the Shaitan is your enemy, so take him for an enemy; he only invites his party that
they may be inmates of the burning surah fatir 7
4. Paradise is in high palce
 Allah commands them to come down so it is in high place
5. Children can have only earth as place of dwelling
‫ض أملسنتنقةرر نونمكنتعع إرلنكى رحيةن‬

٢٥ ‫نقانل مفينها نتؤحنيؤونن نومفينها نتنمونتونن نوممؤننها نتؤخنرنجونن‬


Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
25. He (also) said: Therein shall you live, and therein shall you die, and from it shall you be
raised. Surah A’raaf 7:25

 Man cannot dwell even if he reaches other planets


6. Attaching action to the one caused it- causes have effects or consequence the
occurrence of these effects is by the will of Allah.
He made power of influence dwell in the cuases

‫نفأ ننزللنهنما ٱللشؤيشنطنن نعؤننها نفأ نؤخنرنجنهنما مملما نكاننا مفيةمه‬


Opinions on causes and effects
1. First extreme-
 Exaggeration in causes Rendering them effective on their own without will of Allah

2. Moderate position – correct position


 Allah has placed effects in the causes hence paper burne by fire since Allah gave it power
to burn.
٦٩ ‫قنؤلننا شنيننانر نكومني نبؤرضدا نونسشنلدما نعنل ش ىى إمؤبشنرمهينم‬
69. We said: O fire! be a comfort and peace to Ibrahim; surah ambiya 21;69

 Allah took the effect of burning from fire and coolness as an effect
 Allah puts in causes what makes them effective the effect which manifest- he is capable
to do so to place effect for different causes or change their effects like in above verse.

3. Second extreme
 Neglected the causes
 “If paper is thrown in fire it is burnt upon the throwing not by the fire “ or glass bottle
broke upon touching the floor not by the stone
12. Adam and eve were punished by losing paradise due to one single disobedience-
 Those who do great sin have more chance of losing paradise
 Greatest sin – shirk
 Sins except shirk can be forgiven by Allah- entirely His wish
‫ؤ‬ ‫ى‬ ‫ؤ‬ ‫ل‬ ‫ؤ‬ ‫م‬ ‫ك مبمهۦ نونيؤغمفنر نما ندونن شنذلم ن‬

48. Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated
with Him, and forgives what is besides that to whomsoever He pleases; and whoever

21. O you who believe! do not follow the footsteps of the Shaitan, and whoever follows the
footsteps of the Shaitan, then surely he bids the doing of indecency and evil; and were it not for
Allah´s grace upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have ever been pure, but Allah
purifies whom He pleases; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
Surah noor 24:21
13. World is not ever lasting
 That which is not lasting ends quickly and it will not return
 Every day passing from son of adam distances him from this life and takes him closer to
hereafter
 Take the chance to do what brings us closer to Allah- we don’t know how much time we
have and it is only decreasing

good through its faith. Say: Wait; we too are waiting.

beneath which rivers flow, but whoever disbelieves from among you after that, he indeed shall

other than Allah.
 Fear of worldly danger or natural things – not opposition of tawheed—guest of Ibrahim
did eat food he feared them- permissible ; Musa feared the supposed snakes of
magicians.
 Fear that prevents him obligations on him- should not indulge in such fear; except if in
sha’riah which forgives him in such state.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
‫إملننما شنذلمنكنم ٱللشؤيشنطنن نينخبو ن‬
١٧٥ ‫ف أنؤولمنيانءنهۥ نفنل نتنخانفونه ؤم نونخانفومن مإن نكننتم لمؤؤمممنينن‬

Verse 41
٤١ ‫صبدضقا لبنما نمنعنك ؤم نونل نتنكوننىواا أنلونل نكامفممر مبمهةۦ نونل نتؤشنتنرواا ‍نمب‍اشنيمتي نثنمضنا نقمليضل نوإمشليني نفٱلتنقومن‬ ‫نونءاممننواا مبنما نأننزؤل ن‬
‫ت نم ن‬
41. And believe in what I have revealed, verifying that which is with you, and be not the first to
deny it, neither take a mean price in exchange for My communications; and Me, Me alone
should you fear.
Explanation

 Allah is addressing Jews and Christians to belief in Quran.


 Attestation of Quran
a) Confirming the previous scriptures
b) Descriptions of Quran
c) Torah and Injeel – True revelations from Allah.
Descriptions of Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬was mentioned in their books- they could know him as theor children
‫نونل نتنكوننىواا أنلونل نكامفممر مبمهۦ‬

 No befitting of you for you to disbelieve when you know


 Pagans had already disbelieved; Jews and Christians did not believe even when they
had a book given prophesying the coming of Prophet ‫ﷺ‬
‫نونل نتؤشنتنرواا ‍نمب‍اشنيمتي نثنمضنا نقمليضل‬

 Do not seek prestige leadership and the like by using the scriptures ; selling it
 Jews and Christians- cause of disbelief – preference of lowly life, envy of prophet
favoring leadership .
‫نوإمشليني نفٱلتنقومن‬

 Taking measure of punishment by fulfilling His obligations and abstaining from His
prohibitions -Taqwa
 Earlier command to adhere to shariah and not to disobey -fear disobeying it
 This verse commands both to adhere to sha’riah and not oppose it neither in command
and nor in prohibition.
 Obligation of having taqwa- other verses command for fearing like fear punishment,
hell-fire and wrath – fearing them is same as having taqwa of Allah.

Benefits of the verse


1. It is incumbent upon children of Israel to believe in Quran
2. Kaafir is addressed with islam- Is he addressed to comply with details of Islam;
should he be invited to perform salah, zakah, saum?
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
Ans. He is not addressed to comply with details until he believes. So he can only be
informed of the details of Islam to convey the message
Evidence – hadeeth of Muadh Ibn jabal sent to Yemen.
Muadh was commanded to the accept islam and after that salah and sequence

Will they be punished for not praying and following details?

‫جينبواا لمنرببنكم بمن نقؤبمل نأن نيؤأمتني نيؤوةم لل نمنرلد نلنهۥ ممنن ٱ ل م م‬
٤٧ ‫ل نما نلنكم بمن لمؤلنجةإ نيؤونممئ ةذ نونما نلنكم بمن لنمكيةر‬ ‫ٱؤسنت م‬
47. Hearken to your Lord before there comes the day from Allah for which there shall
be no averting; you shall have no refuge on that day, nor shall it be yours to make a
denial. Surah Zukhruf 42:47

٤٢ ‫نما نسنلنكنك ؤم مفي نسنقنر‬


42. What has brought you into hell?
٤٣ ‫صبلينن‬‫ك ممنن ٱؤلنم ن‬‫نقانلواا لن ؤم نن ن‬
43. They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;
٤٤ ‫ك ننؤطمعنم ٱؤلممؤسمكينن‬ ‫نولن ؤم نن ن‬
44. And we used not to feed the poor;
‫ض نمنع ٱؤلنخامئ م‬
٤٥ ‫ضينن‬ ‫نونكلنا نننخو ن‬
45. And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain
discourses.
‫نونكلنا نننكبذ ن‬
٤٦ ‫ب مبنيؤومم ٱلبديمن‬
46. And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;
 Surah 74
 Had they not been responsible for islam, they would not have been asked
and punished for it
3. Those who buy allah’s words for price- resemble jew
 Those who seek religious knowledge for worldly fame- resembles Jews.
Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said, “one who seek s knowledge for a worldly gain will not smell
the scent of paradise.”

Is gaining a degree in Islamic sciences one equal to those who buys Allah verses?

This depends on intentions if he does it for prestige , status and job then this applies to him. If
he acquires a degree to benefit the Muslims, do dawah seek reward for knowledge then he will
not be those addressed in this verse, he will be rewarded.
٧٧ ‫خنرةن نخؤيةر لبنممن ٱلتنقشى نونل نتؤظنلنمونن نفمتيدل‬

(against evil); and you shall not be wronged the husk of a date stone. Surah nisaa

4. Legislation of Allah are from His verses because of Justice and benefits, they are
qualified with, contrary to man-made laws.
 Man’s knowledge is deficient, incomprehensive of all which benefits creation.
 Benefit are unclear to man; beneficial things seem useless and vice- versa.
 The most smartest of law maker- knowledge is limited to his time and place-
not universal and timeless.
 The man made law makers would try laws and leave it- others adapt it.
 Jews promised to side and defend the awaiting prophet, but when prophet ‫ﷺ‬
came they forsook him, calling him false prophet ‫ﷺ‬.
 Belief in the last day alone is not sufficient , belief in Prophethood of prophet
‫ ﷺ‬is required.
5. Belief in Prophet hood is incumbent of prophet ‫ﷺ‬
6. Quran is speech of Allah
7. Children of israel did belief

truth with falsehood while you know the truth.

please disbelieve; surely We have prepared for the iniquitous a fire, the curtains of
which shall encompass them about; and if they cry for water, they shall be given water
like molten brass which will scald their faces; evil the drink and ill the resting-place.
Surah kahf
b. Muba or allowable exists- it should be means to something else- mubah
leading to misguidance or error is haram.

4. Forbiddance to conceal truth:


Concealment takes place after request of truth
a. Request made in statement- person asking about a person
b. Request on status quo – condition of person in error or misguidance- incumbent
to clarify the wrongdoing and not wait until he is asked. If person doing is not
knowing – not accountable; if the person is asked and doesn’t answer if he does
not know; 17:23 don’t say that which you have no knowledge of
Conditions for concealment of knowledge
1) Benefit in not clarifying- no harm in concealment as Ali said,” converse with
people in that which they know, would you like that they belie Allah and His
messenger”
Ibn Mas’ood said, “ you wouldn’t speak o some people concerning something
their minds comprehend except it would be an affliction to some of them.”
Would you like

2) Test or trial – a person coming to put us to trial, extract information or place us


into jeopardy; a person who assert a fatwa wrongfully from a layman or should
be concealed; should incumbent if he really wants to know.

103. Take alms out of their property, you would cleanse them and purify them thereby, and pray
for them; surely your prayer is a relief to them; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing. Surah taubah

Benefits of this verse


1. Salah was mandatory upon previous nations
 It contained ruku as well ; mrayma was commanded
٤٣ ‫شنينمؤرنينم ٱؤقننمتي لمنرببمك نوٱؤسنجمدي نوٱؤرنكمعي نمنع ٱلشلرمكمعينن‬
43. O Marium! keep to obedience to your Lord and humble yourself, and bow down with
those who bow. Surah imraan

2. Zakah was incumbent in previous nations


Zakah ahs been called Sadaqa-
Sadaqa denote sidqu emmani saahibiha- denotes truth of the giver’s faith

3. Generalization of some places and detailed in other


Salah and zakah are mentioned, details, explanation and clarifications are mentioned
elswhwere
4. Permissibility to express the whole by its parts IF the part are PILLARS OF THE WHOLE:
‫نوٱؤرنكمعي نمنع ٱلشلرمكمعينن‬

 Allah is commanding salah by mentioning ruku- PILLAR without which it is cnot


complete

5. Obligation of congregational prayer -weakness as evidence here


‫نوٱؤرنكمعي نمنع ٱلشلرمكمعينن‬

 Obligatory to offer congregation since with is mentioned Evidence used by


Some scholars
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Weak evidence- “with” here is not companionship in action(simultaneously with
others) bbut in person.
 Maryam or women is not obliged for congregational prayer;
 Obligation of congregational prayer is proven through other authentic texts.
Verse 44

‫۞أننتؤأنمنرونن ٱللنا ن‬
‫س مبٱؤلمببر نونتننسؤونن نأنفننسنك ؤم نونأننت ؤم نتؤتنلونن ٱؤلمكشنت م ن‬
٤٤ ‫ب أننفنل نتؤعمقنلونن‬
44. What! do you enjoin men to be good and neglect your own souls while you read the Book;
have you then no sense?
‫ٱؤلمببر‬

 Denounce of people who command and preach without practicing


 ‫ ٱؤلمببر‬some would urge other to believe in the Messenger of Allah but would themselves
not believe due to ulterior motives
 A young Jewish boy fell ill and the prophet ‫ ﷺ‬invited him to islam. The boy looked at his
father asking for command and the father urged him to follow the prophet and he
accepted Islam, prophet said praise be to Allah who saved him from hellfire thorugh
me.”

‫نونأننت ؤم نتؤتنلونن ٱؤلمكشنت م ن‬


‫ب أننفنل نتؤعمقنلونن‬

 Jews would command based on knowledge with book


 Don’t you then have sense? – reprimand

Narrated Abu Wail:


Someone said to Usama, "Will you not talk to this (Uthman)?" Usama said, "I talked to him
(secretly) without being the first man to open an evil door. I will never tell a ruler who rules over
two men or more that he is good after I heard Allah's Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬saying, 'A man will be
brought and put in Hell (Fire) and he will circumambulate (go around and round) in Hell (Fire)
like a donkey of a (flour) grinding mill, and all the people of Hell (Fire) will gather around him
and will say to him, O so-and-so! Didn't you use to order others for good and forbid them from
evil?' That man will say, 'I used to order others to do good but I myself never used to do it, and I
used to forbid others from evil while I myself used to do evil.' " Sahih al-Bukhari 7098
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
Should we stop commanding good or forbiddin evil-
He should do what he commands and stop what he forbids- if he stops commanding and
continues sinning then he is two-fold in sin(abandoning the commanding of evil and continuing
to sin or abandoning the forbidding of evil and leaving the commandments himself)
If one waits till he is sinless- none can enjoin commandments nor forbid evil
Strive to adhere to commandments and enjoin it;leave the evil and stop the evil

Knowledgeable not practicing and ignorant


 Scolding the Scholar who does an opposition to that which he commands worse than
the ignorant
 Knowledge and not acting upon it or being endowed with knowledge and not
implementing- more sinful
 People blam the knowledge erring person more than ignorant

Rebuke to Children of Israel—“Have they no sense”


Anyone from this Ummah enjoins good not implementing it and does not forbids himself from
evil= like Jews

٤٥ ‫صلنشوممة نوإملننها لننكمبينرةء إملل نعنلى ٱؤلشنخمشمعينن‬ ‫نوٱؤسنتمعيننواا مبٱل ل‬


‫صؤبمر نوٱل ل‬
45. And seek assistance through patience and prayer, and most surely it is a hard thing except
for the humble ones,
Explanation

 Salah covers both- obligatory and optional.


 Seeking help through these two salah and patience; difficult unless one humbles himself
to Allah

Benenfits of verse
1. Guidance of Allah to these two matters
2. Permissibility to seek help in other than Allah those who can help
e.g. if you ask help from someone to carry luggage it is permissible

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Every joint of a person
must perform a charity each day that the sun rises: to judge justly between two people is a
charity. To help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings onto it, is
a charity. And the good word is a charity. And every step that you take towards the prayer is a
charity, and removing a harmful object from the road is a charity.” [Al-Bukhari] [Muslim]
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Asking help from those who cannot- foolishness or even shirk if he is dead or
unreachable

Types of Patience
1. Patience on acts of Obedience to Allah sabru alal taa’atil Allah
2. Patience to keep away from abstaining from disobedience of Allah
3. Patience on Qadar or Pre-decree.

1. Patience on acts of obedience of Allah


Most difficult and superior.

Comprises of two things Actions and hold the actions—act on the acts of
obedience and to hold oneself from laxing or leaving these acts
 Patience on obedience is better than rest
2. Patience to keep away from abstaining from disobedience of Allah
Requires only restraint from actions
 Sometimes very difficult  prophet considered that young man who was
invited by beautiful women or status to do zina and replied “ innee
akhafu Allah” is same as just ruler
 Just ruler maybe better; the severity of holding away from zina with a
beautiful women of rank is more virtuous.
 Patience on abstaining from haram is better that repelling pre decree of
Allah since he has no choice.
 Individual cases may differe from person to situation- a person may find
loosing a loved one more difficult to bear than performing acts of
worship.
3. Patience in pre decree of Allah
 The pre destined is bound to happen- complaining does not help
 Either be patient like the honorable ones or forget like animals – salaf
 Incitement of patience
 If man is patient- attains goals if he gets bored

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:


Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
"The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said: 'The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than
the weak believer, although both are good. Strive for that which will benefit you, seek the help
of Allah, and do not feel helpless. If anything befalls you, do not say, "if only I had done such and
such" rather say "Qaddara Allahu wa ma sha'a fa'ala (Allah has decreed and whatever he wills,
He does)." For (saying) 'If' opens (the door) to the deeds of Satan.'" Sunan ibn Ma’ja Vol. 1, Book
1, Hadith
Sahih (Darussalam)

 Strife is important; one who lacks feels abandons in trying again – time passes
aimlessly
 Persevering knowing that nothing is between him and his goal except some extra
work- rewarded and benefitted
 Time utilized in starting something is in loss if patience on hardwork is not
conitued even if it seem bored and helpless

4. Merit of Salah

 Means of seeking help in matters of life


 Prophet would take to prayer in difficult moments-seeking Allah’s help
 How could salah be helpful to man- if the person with conducted in correct and
complete way
 Presence of heart, pillars and obligations benefits of Salah in truth
 Lack of concentration, worldly concerns in salah- loss of spirit of salah
 True salah- person feels Allah is front of him; worship should be utilized to forget every
worry and resolve every problem- most connected to the most beloved , Allah

It was narrated that Anas said:


"The Messenger of Allah said: 'In this world, women and perfume have been made dear
to me, and my comfort has been provided in prayer.' Hasan (Darussalam), Sunan an-
Nasa'i 3939

Degree of effect on matters of wordly is proportional to effectiveness of salah


Verse Ankaboot

5. Prolong worries resort to patience and prayer


6. Righteous deeds are difficult on those who are not in state of humility
7. Manifesting worship in humility eases worship: the more humility he has more
obedience to allah.

47. O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and that I made you
excel the nations.

Explanation
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Mentioning favor in singular means ‘all favors.”
٣٤ ‫لنشنسنن نلنظنلوةم نكلفاةر‬ ‫ؤ‬ ‫ل نل نتؤح ن م‬ ‫نونءانتشىنكم بمن نكبل نما نسأ نؤلنتنمو مهن نومإن نتنعلدواا منؤعنم ن‬
‫تٱ لم‬
‫صونها إملن ٱ م‬
34. And He gives you of all that you ask Him; and if you count Allah´s favors, you will not be able
to number them; most surely man is very unjust, very ungrateful. Surah Ibrahim 14:34

‫نوإمؤذ نقانل نمونسشى لمنقؤومممهۦ شنينقؤومم ٱؤذنكنرواا منؤعنمنة ٱللم نعنلؤينك ؤم إمؤذ نجنعنل مفينك ؤم أنمنمبنيانء نونجنعنلنكم لمنلوضكا نونءانتشىنكم لما نل ؤم نيؤؤ م‬
٢٠ ‫ت أننحضدا بمنن ٱؤلشنعنلممينن‬
20. And when Musa said to his people: O my people! remember the favor of Allah upon you
when He raised prophets among you and made you kings and gave you what He had not given
to any other among the nations. Surah Maida 5:20

 Favors maybe religious nature like making prophets amongst them and
worldly nature like making kings – favor not given to others but them-both
religious and worldly.
‫ضؤلنتنك ؤم نعنلى ٱؤلشنعنلممينن‬
‫نوأنبني نف ل‬

 Aa’lameen- all that exists of their time or what is other than Allah
 Allah- Lord of Alameen
Benefits of verse
1) Incumbent to remember favours of Allah, give thanks and following prophet is part of
giving thanks
‫أنؤننعؤم ن‬
2) Favor are neither earnt nor inherited rather bestowed upon them ‫ت نعنلؤينك ؤم‬
3) Children of Israel best of people among mankind of their time
Best in belief, hence Allah bestowed victory upon them from enemy

223
128. Musa said to his people: Ask help from Allah and be patient; surely the land is Allah´s; He
causes such of His servants to inherit it as He pleases, and the end is for those who guard
(against evil).
Surah A’raaf 7:128

 Moosa said the pious will inherit the land ; children of Israel don’t deserve the
holy land of Israel – “laisoo min ibadiAllah saliheen “not from pious people”
 During the time of Moses the children of Israel were more deserving than the
others.
 Palestine = people should be Muslims and deserve it for their Islam, not for being
their Arabs.
 “Arabs will never succeed as I believe as they believe and Allah knows best never
succeed under banner of Arabism will never return it except by name of islam,
except the islam upon which the prophet and his companions were upon as allah
made it clear(7:128)”
 “ No matter what Arabs exert from efforts, no matter how they fill the world from
sayings and protests they will never succeed until they proclaim for evacuation of
Jews, from t by the name of Islam but after they apply it to themselves first if
they do that then what the prophet informed of shall take place when he said
the hour will not be established until the Muslims fight the Jews and Muslims will
kill them until the Jew will hide behind the stone tree then the stone or tree until
the stone will say “O salve of Allah Jew is behind me come and kill him” Sahih
Bukhari
 They will be called in the name of Islam as slave of Islam he didn’t say or Arab
but he said oh Muslim (in the hadeeth)
 “Jews will never finish in the names of Arabism or any ethnic banner, but in the
name of Islam whoever wishes let him read 21:105 “
Oppression of Jews

 Allah will deal with them Justly mischief, disdain and oppression- will pay in this world
and here-after
 Anything dependent upon description will exist on that description and negated by
negation of description
 If we are truly righteous slaves of Allah we will inherit the land easily and without all of
difficulties or troubles, we will take it by victory of Allah and assignment of Allah
 Muslims never really possed Palestine during the prevailing times of Islam in the past
except with islam, never took capital of Persians, nor romans nor Coptic in Egypt except
with Islam.
 Victory comes from true isla
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
Battle of qadisiyyah

 Campainng Saad ibn abee waqqas in Iraq, Persians resorted to demolishing bridge and
sinking ships to prevent Muslim crossing the Euphrates Allah made the river subservient
to Muslims, the Muslim armies walked on surface of water with their camels , horses,
infantry just like walking on earth the water not covering them nor their horses. When
the horse would get tired Allah would bring a rock and it would sit on it and rest.
 Red sea parted for children of Israel to rescue them from pharoah
 Children of Israel lost their Islam, Allah transformed them to pigs and monks

pleased, those after them would not have fought one with another after clear arguments had
come to them, but they disagreed; so there were some of them who believed and others who

with obedience of Allah.
 ‫ لل نتؤجمزي‬no soul shall avail- general implication : not definitive and context of negation
becomes general or Aama
 La yughnee shay’an abeehi wala Ummi- no helps another by anything father nor mother

Allah's Punishment; O Fatima bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but I cannot
save you from Allah's Punishment." Sahih al-Bukhari 2753

Then He will say, 'Go and take out (all those) in whose hearts there is faith even to

When we left Anas, I said to some of my companions, "Let's pass by Al-Hasan who is
hiding himself in the house of Abi Khalifa and request him to tell us what Anas bin
Malik has told us." So we went to him and we greeted him and he admitted us. We
said to him, "O Abu Sa`id! We came to you from your brother Anas Bin Malik and he
related to us a Hadith about the intercession the like of which I have never heard."
He said, "What is that?" Then we told him of the Hadith and said, "He stopped at this
point (of the Hadith)." He said, "What then?" We said, "He did not add anything to
that." He said, Anas related the Hadith to me twenty years ago when he was a young
fellow. I don't know whether he forgot or if he did not like to let you depend on what
he might have said." We said, "O Abu Sa`id ! Let us know that." He smiled and said,
"Man was created hasty. I did not mention that, but that I wanted to inform you of it.
Anas told me the same as he told you and said that the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬added, 'I then
return for a fourth time and praise Him similarly and prostrate before Him me the
same as he 'O Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to;
and ask, for you will be granted (your request): and intercede, for your intercession
will be accepted .' I will say, 'O Lord, allow me to intercede for whoever said, 'None
has the right to be worshiped except Allah.' Then Allah will say, 'By my Power, and my
Majesty, and by My Supremacy, and by My Greatness, I will take out of Hell (Fire)
whoever said: 'None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.

in the land and to forsake you and your gods? He said: We will slay their sons and spare their
women, and surely we are masters over them.

Opinion of punishment coming before moosa birth

 Some historians claim the killing took place before Moosa was born
 Priests mentioned to pharoah that a child will be born wo will destroy him and [pharaoh
took to killing

Evidence for killing was before birth of Moosa


Suckle him and when ye fear caste him into the river Qasas

No explicit evidence from this verse as fear could be general

He said: It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you rulers in the land, then
He will see how you act.

 No explicit proof does not indicate killing of sons but general suffering
 Killing of sons and saving of women- only mentioned after moosa was sent to them
 Moosa asks them to be patient after the trials of killings has been decreed ; when the
messaged was proclaimed and rejected by pharoah and his people.

about, they pray to Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience: If Thou dost deliver us from this,
we will most certainly be of the grateful ones. Yunus 22

.((‫ وإن أصابته ضراء صبر فكان خيراد له" ))رواه مسلم‬،‫ إن أصابته سراء شكر فكان خيراد له‬: ‫وليس ذلك لحد إل للمؤمن‬

Abu Yahya Suhaib bin Sinan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that:
The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "How wonderful is the case of a believer; there is good for him
in everything and this applies only to a believer. If prosperity attends him, he expresses
gratitude to Allah and that is good for him; and if adversity befalls him, he endures it patiently
and that is better for him".

[Muslim].

٣٨ ‫ض نونما نبؤينننهنما شنلمعمبينن‬ ‫ت نوٱؤلنؤر ن‬ ‫نونما نخنلؤقننا ٱللسشنمشنو م‬


38. And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is
between them in sport.
٣٩ ‫نما نخنلؤقشنننهنما إملل مبٱؤلنحبق نوشنلمكلن أنؤكنثنرنه ؤم نل نيؤعنلنمونن‬
39. We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do
not know.
Surah Dukhan
Wisdom behind Allah’s actions, decrees, and commands maybe hidden
from us –because of our finite intellect or our carelessness for not
pondering
9. Tests from Allah vary in difficulty
Some tests are easy and other momentous – all necessitated by His
wisdom
Less patient and thankful- tested easily in accordance with their patience
Strong in faith, patience and gratitude- strong trials and tests

Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrated from his father that a man said:
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
"O Messenger of Allah(s.a.w)! Which of the people is tried most
severely?" He said: "The Prophets, then those nearest to them, then
those nearest to them. A man is tried according to his religion; if he is
firm in his religion, then his trials are more severe, and if he is frail in his
religion, then he is tried according to the strength of his religion. The
servant shall continue to be tried until he is left walking upon the earth
without any sins." Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2398

‫صل ل ب‬
‫ب‬ ‫ ه‬- firm opp. ‫ – مرلقءة‬feeble weak
‫نيابنرنح‬- continues
10. Fear of enemy and delusion from religion

 Muslims do not believe that Allah will defeat the enemy only if
Muslims adhere to Islam and obey His messenger
 Muslims have lost all hopes and tawwakkul in Allah.
 Children of Isreal, people of Ad- taken by wind, people of saleh by
earthquake- if we are really truthful then Allah gives us victory
agisnst the enemy.

٥٣ ‫ب نوٱؤلفنؤرنقانن نلنعللنك ؤم نتؤهنتندونن‬ ‫نوإمؤذ نءانتؤيننا نمونسى ٱؤلمكشنت ن‬
53. And when We gave Musa the Book and the distinction that you might walk aright.
‫نوإمؤذ نقانل نمونسشى لمنقؤومممهۦ شنينقؤومم إملننك ؤم نظنلؤمنت ؤم نأنفننسنكم مبٱبتنخامذنكنم ٱؤلمعؤجنل نفنتونبىواا إمنلشى نبامرمئنك ؤم نفٱؤقنتل نىواا نأنفننسنك ؤم شنذلمنك ؤم نخؤيةر للنك ؤم معنند‬

yourselves by taking the calf (for a god), therefore turn to your Creator (penitently), so
kill your people, that is best for you with your Creator: so He turned to you (mercifully),
for surely He is the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.

Address to children of Isreal


TorahCriterion and Scripture

Types of Distinctions:

1. Essence
e.g
١ ‫ت نوٱللنوةنر نثلم ٱللمذينن نكنفنرواا مبنرببمه ؤم نيؤعمدنلونن‬ ‫ت نوٱؤلنؤر ن‬
‫ض نونجنعنل ٱللظل نشنم م‬ ‫ٱؤلنحؤمند م ل م‬
‫ل ٱللمذي نخنلنق ٱللسشنمشنو م‬
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
1. All praise is due to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and made the
darkness and the light; yet those who disbelieve set up equals with their Lord.
Surah anaam 6:1
Heaven ans earth essences

2. Attributes
١ ‫ك ٱؤلنؤعنلى‬
‫نسببمح ٱؤسنم نربب ن‬
٢ ‫ٱللمذي نخلننق نفنسلوشى‬
٣ ‫نوٱللمذي نقلدنر نفنهندشى‬
٤ ‫نوٱللمذىي أنؤخنرنج ٱؤلنمؤرنعشى‬
1. Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
2. Who creates, then makes complete,
3. And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
4. And Who brings forth herbage,

‫نوإمؤذ نءانتؤيننا نمونسى ٱؤلمكشنت ن‬


3. Essence and Attribute: ‫ب نوٱؤلفنؤرنقانن‬
Benefits of the Verse:

a. Descending of books is of greatest favors to mankind


b. Moosa is prophet and Messenger.
c. Excellence of Torah: furqan, Torah and Quran – greatest of
revealed books
‫ل نهنو أنؤهندشى ممؤننهنما أنلتمبعنه مإن كنت ؤم ن‬
٤٩ ‫صمدمقينن‬‫ش‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ؤ‬ ‫قنؤل نفؤأنتواا مبمكشنت ة‬

49. Say: Then bring some (other) book from Allah which is a
better guide than both of them, (that) I may follow it, if you are
truthful. Surah Qasas 28:49

Torah as criterion for judging in between the Jews:


44. Surely We revealed the Taurat in which was guidance and
light; with it the prophets who submitted themselves (to Allah)
judged (matters) for those who were Jews, and the masters of
Divine knowledge and the doctors, because they were required
to guard (part) of the Book of Allah, and they were witnesses
thereof; therefore fear not the people and fear Me, and do not
take a small price for My communications; and whoever did not
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the
unbelievers.

d. Makes clear transgression of children of Israel


 Excessive disobedience
 Torah necessitates belief and obedience
e. Allah revealed and sent down as guidance
f. Seeking guidance in revealed books
 Not philosophy, scholasticism, and other systems of life.
 Make revelation clear to people –no way to guidance
except revelation.
g. Affirming the causes: ithbaat ul asbaab
h. Giving 2 types of giving:
i. Universal: Allah gives worldly materialistic things to people even
disbelievers like Qaarun
j. Legal: revelation to Moosa

‫نوإمؤذ نقانل نمونسشى لمنقؤومممهۦ شنينقؤومم إملننك ؤم نظلنؤمنت ؤم نأنفننسنكم مبٱبتنخامذنكنم ٱؤلمعؤجنل نفنتونبىواا إملنشى نبامرمئنك ؤم نفٱؤقنتل نىواا نأنفننسنك ؤم شنذلمنك ؤم نخؤيةر للنك ؤم معنند نبامرمئنك ؤم نفنتا ن‬

Explanation

‫نوإمؤذ نقانل نمونسشى لمنقؤومممهۦ شنينقؤومم إملننك ؤم نظنلؤمنت ؤم نأنفننسنكم مبٱبتنخامذنكنم ٱؤلمعؤجنل‬
reminder “oh my people” to gather them in close, appealing good advice for them, clemency.

‫إملننك ؤم نظلنؤمنت ؤم نأنفننسنكم‬


You deprived yourself- dhul  means defect and non completion
٣٣ ‫خ شلننلنهنما نننهضرا‬
‫مكؤلنتا ٱؤلنجلننتؤيمن نءانتؤت أ ننكلننها نولن ؤم نتؤظملم بمؤننه نش ض ؤ‍‍يما نونفلجؤرننا م‬
33. Both these gardens yielded their fruits, and failed not aught thereof, and We caused a river
to gush forth in their midst, surah kahf 18:33

 ‫ نتؤظملم‬tanqus or defect or incompletion tadhlub


= Naqastum anfusakum haqqaha – you didn’t give from yourself what it really deserves
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
‫مبٱبتنخامذنكنم ٱؤلمعؤجنل‬
By taking calf as idol for worship- did not give Allah His due right
Ingratitude for all the favours Allah bestowed on them

‫نفنتونبىواا إمنلشى نبامرمئنك ؤم‬


Bari- care taker, One who sustains creation
How is it possible you leave your creator and take calf ?
37:125-126
١٢٥ ‫أننتؤدنعونن نبؤعضل نونتنذنرونن أنؤحنسنن ٱؤلشنخلممقينن‬
125. What! do you call upon Ba´l and forsake the best of the creators,
١٢٦ ‫ب نءانبامئنكنم ٱؤلنلوملينن‬ ‫ٱ لن‬
‫ل نرلبنك ؤم نونر ل‬
126. Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
‫نفٱؤقنتل نىواا نأنفننسنك ؤم‬

 Each one should kill his brother in his family


 Scholars of tafseer differed whether they killed in darkness or in light since they could
not face each other
 When they started to kill in daylight, Moosa made dua to deliver for them and pardon
them and it was accepted and killing was stopped
 No darkness preponderant
 Innocent of them will kill the wrong doers some scholars; no denotion for repentance
since killing of a person may show insistence to persist in sin
 Killing their ownsleves – may include repentance and part of penance for sin

‫شنذلمنك ؤم نخؤيةر للنك ؤم معنند نبامرمئنك ؤم نفنتا ن‬


‫ب نعنلؤينك مؤم‬
It is better for them- penance
Tawwab- One who accepts repentance repeatedly, for so many of his creations who sin.
Benefits of verse
1. Caller to Allah should use words attractive to the called tha brings people
closer to him intending benefit and not to boast or show dominance
2. Setting up idols to worship is wrongdoing
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
3. Sins constitute wrong doing to oneself; takes right from oneself, oneself is
trust entrusted and should be taken care of- should be kept away from
things that are harmful to it
“Yourselves have right over you “ hadeeth bukahri
Inna li nafsika alaika haqqa
4. One should express himself with word befitting the state of affairs or
conditions
Allah says “‫ نفنتونبىواا إمنلشى نبامرمئنك ؤم‬ establishes evidence “ calf cannot be taken as god, one who
deserves to be true god is Al bari or creator’

5. Obligation of repentance
 Repentance should be immediate
 Letter fa show immediacy
Conditions for Repentance
a) Sincerity – drive to repents must be to hope fear Him and reward from
Him, relinquish oneself from sin
b) Regret and sorrow- person is sorrowful for his actions.
c) Abandon sin immediately – indulging in unlawful acts should abandon, if
he is leaving something obligatory should adhere to it and replace the
thing if not possible then repentance is accepted.
d) Determination not to return to sin in future
e) Repentance should be in acceptable time limit: before sun rises from left
and death rattle.

of them, he says: Surely now I repent; nor (for) those who die while they are unbelievers. These
are they for whom We have prepared a painful chastisement. 4:18

‫ا صلى ا عليه وسلم نينقونل " لن نتاننقمطنع االمهاجنرةن نحلتى نتاننقمطنع اللت اونبنة نولن نتاننقمطنع اللت اونبنة نحلتى نتاطل ننع‬

I heard the Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬say: Migration will not end until repentance ends, and
repentance will not end until the sun rises in the west. Sunan Abi Dawud 2479, Sahih (Al-
Albani)
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
6. Confirming the causes “‫مبٱبتنخامذنكنم ٱؤلمعؤجنل‬
7. Disease should have cure; moos presented them a cure- repentances
The caller to allah if he mentions ills and evils in society should also emotion solutions
and cures to them
8. Foolishness of children of Israel- worshipped that which they made.
9. Recognition of great favours of Allah on Ummah of Muhammad- heavy burden was put
on children of Israel- repentance was manifested until they killed themselves, for
Ummah of Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬takes places if 5 conditions are met and sinner does not harm
to himself.
10. Abandoning sin and repentance is better than continuing on it
Person is better off after repentance- if he sins and repents then his condition is better
than before as seen in verses:
‫صنفامن نعلنؤيمهنما ممن نونرمق ٱؤلنجلنممة نونع ن‬
١٢١ ‫ص ش ىى نءاندنم نرلبنهۥ نفنغنوشى‬ ‫نفأ ننكنل ممؤننها نفنبندؤت نلنهنما نسؤوشنءنتنهنما نونطمفنقا نيؤخ م‬
121. Then they both ate of it, so their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and
they both began to cover themselves with leaves of the garden, and Adam disobeyed his
Lord, so his life became evil (to him).
١٢٢ ‫ب نعنلؤيمه نونهندشى‬ ‫نثلم ٱؤجنتشنبنه نرلبنهۥ نفنتا ن‬
122. Then his Lord chose him, so He turned to him and guided (him).
Surah taha 121-122

Allah chose and guided him after he repented from the sin
11. Making clear favour of allah upon slave- Allah accepts sincere repentance of His slaves
12. Affirming two Names of Allah:Tawwab and Raheem
These two nams affirm attributes they comprise- together a tird attribute becomes
evident combining between repentance through which there is elimination of what is
disliked like the harm and the other is rahma or mercy which is sough t and manifested

13. Person should repentance from Allah and hope for His mercy
One of the meaning which Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said”whoever preserves 99 names of Allah shall
enter Jannah”
Enumearation of names- worship Allah through what thye entail
Raheem- person should seek and hope for mercy of Allah

Types of Mercy
1. General- comprising all creation –believer and non believers alike
2. Particular – only for beleivers
Wa kana lil mu’mineena raheema

١٥٥ ‫نخؤينر ٱؤلشنغمفمرينن‬
155. And Musa chose out of his people seventy men for Our appointment; so
when the earthquake overtook them, he said: My Lord! if Thou hadst
pleased, Thou hadst destroyed them before and myself (too); wilt Thou
destroy us for what the fools among us have done? It is naught but Thy trial,
Thou makest err with it whom Thou pleasest and guidest whom Thou
pleasest: Thou art our Guardian, therefore forgive us and have mercy on us,
and Thou art the best of the forgivers. 7:155

Scholars hold this took place after appointment of 70 men to meet Allah
Not valid opinion- earthquake is mentioned here and the claim of seeing Allah mentions
thunderbolt 2:55 striking them and destroying them which is not the case as in surah araaf
3. Return of moosa after meeting his lord and torah was sent down.
Rejected torah and said they would only believe after they saw Allah
TimeLine in mentioning of events: Torah was sent down calf was
worshipped after moosa brought torah this verse was mentioned.
Flow of texts- supports this opinion

‫نفأ ننخنذؤتنكنم ٱل ش ل‬
‫صمعنقنة نونأننت ؤم نتن ن‬
‫ظنرونن‬
Saaiqa- death
Took place for those who said they will only believer after they see Allah and accepted it

٥٦ ‫نثلم نبنعؤثشنننكم بممن نبؤعمد نمؤومتنك ؤم لننعللنك ؤم نتؤشنكنرونن‬


56. Then We raised you up after your death that you may give thanks.
‫نثلم نبنعؤثشنننكم بممن نبؤعمد نمؤومتنك ؤم‬
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223

Raising to life after real death not sleep since sleep is waf’a but mauth

‫ض ش ىى أننجةل لمنسضومةى نثلم إملنؤيمه نمؤر م‬


‫جنعنك ؤم نثلم نيننببنئنكم مبنما نكننت ؤم‬ ‫نونهنو ٱللمذي نينتنولفشىنكم مبٱللؤيمل نونيؤعلننم نما نجنرؤحنتم مبٱللننهامر نثلم نيؤبنعنثنك ؤم مفيمه لمنيؤق ن‬
٦٠ ‫نتؤعنمنلونن‬
60. And He it is Who takes your souls at night (in sleep), and He knows what you acquire
in the day, then He raises you up therein that an appointed term may be fulfilled; then to
Him is your return, then He will inform you of what you were doing.

6:60
 Mauth is for death only , wafa can mean sleep

‫ت نونيؤرمسنل ٱؤل نؤخنر ش ىى إملن ش ىى أننجةل لمنسدوممى‬


‫ضشى نعلنؤينها ٱؤلنمؤو ن‬ ‫حينن نمؤومتنها نوٱللمتي لن ؤم نتنمؤت مفي نمنناممنهةا نفنيؤممس ن‬

٤٢ ‫ت لبنقؤوةم نينتنفلكنرونن‬‫ك نلىشني ة‬ ‫إملن مفي شنذلم ن‬
42. Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their
sleep; then He withholds those on whom He has passed the decree of death and sends
the others back till an appointed term; most surely there are signs in this for a people
who reflect.
.
Surah Zumar 39:41

Life after death Cases of Allah causing death and raising people:

1) Person of cow
2) 2:43 people who feared death- Allah commanded them to die and raised
them die and raised them
3) 2:56 companion of moosa asking to see Allah
4) 2:59 man passed b town destroyed – how would Allah resurrect this town-
was made to die
5) Verse of Ibrahim asking Allah to see how He gives life – giving life to birds
after death.
Does not contradict 23:15 -6

 Raising in this verse would be after general resurrection of all


 Comparison of this verse and 5 incidents- these incidents are transient and
temporal to show signs of Allah
 General resurrection takes place only of day of judgment
 Deniers of day of judgment 21:28, 44:36- messengers did not tell them they will
be resurrected now but on day of judgment
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
Benefits of these verses
1. Reminder of favors of Allah- raised them to life after death
2. Folly of children of Israel- believed in Moosa and still want to see Allah to believe
3. One who asks of impossibility is deserving of punishment. Wanted to see Allah out of
doubt- kept seeing as condition for believing unlike Moosa who asked only to longing
Allah showkhan, liyadhdhat ru’yati llah

Pain of punishment is more intent , if he witnesses with own eyes


“While you were looking”
4. Making clear perfect ability of Allah brought life after death
5. Obligation to be grateful to Allah for favors He bestows
Gratitude is being obedient to Allah, attesting on tongue, admitting in heart and through
limbs
Do not say I have been given this favor out of my knowledge etc- ingratitude
Limbs should perform actions of obedience and shun disobedience
6. Wisdom of Allah – so that you may show gratitude ٥٦ ‫لننعللنك ؤم نتؤشنكنرونن‬

behalf to bring forth for us out of what the earth grows, of its herbs and its cucumbers and its

is worse? Enter a city, so you will have what you ask for. And abasement and humiliation were
brought down upon them, and they became deserving of Allah´s wrath; this was so because
they disbelieved in the communications of Allah and killed the prophets unjustly; this was so
because they disobeyed and exceeded the limits.

have got it anywhere
Misr- not Egypt
Moosa denounced and rebuked their request, he did not advice them to look for it in a city. The
statement is a rebuke

‫ضمرنبؤت نعنلؤيمهنم ٱلبذللنة نوٱؤلنمؤسنكنننة‬


‫نو ن‬
They drew on themselves with misery and poverty

‫صننةة أنؤو ممن نونرامء نجند مم مر نبؤأنسنهم نبؤينننه ؤم نشمدي ةمد نتؤحنسنبنه ؤم نجممي ضعا نوقننلونبنه ؤم نشلت شمى شنذلم ن‬
‫ك مبأ نلننه ؤم نقؤوةم لل نيؤعمقنلونن‬ ‫نل نيشنقمتنلونننك ؤم نجمميدعا إملل مفي قنضرى لمنح ل‬
١٤
14. They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified towns or from behind walls;
their fighting between them is severe, you may think them as one body, and their hearts
are disunited; that is because they are a people who have no sense.
Surah hashr 59:14

 Cowardice and weakness prevailed over them- unable to strive to attain their goals
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Miserliness overcame them, had no generosity in wealth
 No nation miser and wealth in hearts as well as much as Jews-punishment from allah

60. Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this in retribution from Allah? (Worse is
he) whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and of whom He made apes and swine,
and he who served the Shaitan; these are worse in place and more erring from the straight
path.
Surah Maaida 5:60
Punishment befeel them because they used to belive the signs,proofs and evidence of Allah
Pride and arrogance – food was sent down to them yet they should arrogance
Belied creational and legal signs of Allah; allah ordered them to enter gate of Jerusalem saying
hitta but instead they said hinta

Killed prophets
Two recitations of prophets
1. Annabiyyeen- derived from nabwa , meaning highness, or
2. annabiyeen from nab’a or important news or bringer of news
killing prophets whituy right
there is not justificeble reason for killing , without haqq is mentioned here so that the cynic is
shown
‫صواا‬
‫مبنما نع ن‬
maa’siya – not doing an obligatioe or doing a forbiddance
‫نيؤعنتندونن‬
transgression – I’tidaa’ exceeding limits either by withholding from fulfilling obligations of
others or transgressing against them
Difference between maasiya and idhwaan :Disobedience and Transgression
1. Both mentioned in same statement
a. maasiya: disobedience means – doing the prohibited
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
b. udhwan: transgression - exceeding limits concerning commands e.g. making dhuhur
as 5 raka
OR

a. maasiya: disobedience – relinquishing commands


b. udhwan :transgression- doing what is forbidden

Evidence for disobedience leads to kufr rfrom this verse – opinion of some scholars
Reason when person commits disobedience he considers it light and continues till he reaches
kufr or disbelief
‫نك ل ة‬
١٤ ‫ل نب ؤلل نرانن نعلنشى قننلومبمهم لما نكاننواا نيؤكمسنبونن‬
14. Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
Raan – covering on heart

Benefits of the verse


1. Arrogance of bani Israel(ghatrafat bani isareel) asked for less valuable and benefical
things instead of better food
2. Used apprehensible words “ invoke your Lord” and “your Lord” – isnt Allah their Lord as
well- statement of arrogance after belief
٢٤ ‫ك نفشنقمتنل إملنا شنهنهننا شنقمعندونن‬ ‫نقانلواا شنينمونس ش ىى إملنا نلن لنؤدنخنلنها أننبضدا لما ندانمواا مفينها نفٱؤذنهؤب نأن ن‬
‫ت نونرلب ن‬
24. They said: O Musa! we shall never enter it so long as they are in it; go therefore you and
your Lord, then fight you both surely we will here sit down.

3. Anyone choosing the lower than the higher show resemblance to Jews, like choosing
forbidden over the lawful.
4. Aim high and not low :It is from high degree of motivation to look for that which is
perfect and best in all matters.

5. Generosity and comfort in food and drink- choosing the best of food and drink
Eating and drinking can be chosen unless one exceeds a limit and being extravagant.
 Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬did not denounce companions when they bought good dates instead of bad
ones Sahih Bukhari
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Relinquishing a generosity for legal cause- permissible. Umar left eating to degree to
being full in aam ur ramaada (year of drought).
 Time of Khaybar – people ate onions - “ its is not upto me to make unlawful what Allah
made lawful”
6. Permissibility to relate something to its real cause which is a third as legal or physical
cause
If you feed hungry person is about to die of hunger it is permissible to say had it not
been for me feeding him he would have been destroyed
Feeding cause behind eliminating hunger.
Legal aspect for reciting the quran on ill and he is cured after recitation you may say had
I not been for recitation of quran he would not have been cured.
7. Cause neither affirmed by legal manner not physical cause is forbidden or linking will of
Allah to the cause by using a letter which entails concerning the first case
Those who put around their neck (tamaim al bidaiat) innovates amulets or rings for affliction or
less harm-incorrect
To use a letter with will of Allah as when prophet ‫ ﷺ‬was said by a man whatever Allah wills and
you will” and said “ did you make me a rival with Allah rather said “ whatever Allah will alone.”
Qaarun’ s blamable blame

78. He said: I have been given this only on account of the knowledge I have. Did he not know
that Allah had destroyed before him of the generations those who were mightier in strength
than he and greater in assemblage? And the guilty shall not be asked about their faults. Surah
Qasas 28:78

‫ش‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ؤ‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ن‬
‫ك مبنما نع ن‬‫ت ٱلم نونيقتلونن ٱلنمبنيانء مبنغؤيمر نح ة وق ذلم ن‬
112. Abasement is made to cleave to them wherever they are found, except under a
covenant with Allah and a covenant with men, and they have become deserving of
wrath from Allah, and humiliation is made to cleave to them; this is because they
disbelieved in the communications of Allah and slew the prophets unjustly; this is
because they disobeyed and exceeded the limits. 3:

Exception to humility
1. Covenent of Allah- entry into Islam
2. Covenant from Men- refers to external help they may get from people.
 Jews are strong in contemporary times- help and aid from Chrisitians in
west
13. Humiliation and indignity refers to miserliness of their hearts, unsatisfied hearts
14. Children of Israel would not be able to stand against Muslim if they are faced under
Banner of Islam
Indignity is due to disobedience –if the Jews are fought with Islam and obedience to
Allah –Jews lose, Muslims will win

‫صننةة أنؤو ممن نونرامء نجند مم مر نبؤأنسنهم نبؤينننه ؤم نشمدي ةمد نتؤحنسنبنه ؤم نجممي ضعا نوقننلونبنه ؤم نشلت شمى شنذلم ن‬

١٤ ‫نيؤعمقنلونن‬
15. They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified towns or from behind walls;
their fighting between them is severe, you may think them as one body, and their hearts
are disunited; that is because they are a people who have no sense. Surah Hashr 59:14
Reasons of Palestinian trials:
1. Lack of Sinceirty – Muslims do not fight for sake of Allah, for Islam and not for prevailing
word of Allah, rather pan Arabism
2. Sins of Muslims- Major and Minor -sins prevent success in war

permission, until when you became weak-hearted and disputed about the affair and
disobeyed after He had shown you that which you loved; of you were some who desired
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
this world and of you were some who desired the hereafter; then He turned you away
from them that He might try you; and He has certainly pardoned you, and Allah is
Gracious to the believers. Surah Imran 3:152

16. Conferring Attribute of Wrath and Anger to Allah

 Attribute does not resemble the attribute of creatures


 Face reddens, hair stands, we loose our senses- nothing of this attributes
to Allah
 Deviant sects interpreted “Anger” as “vengeance” or “will to revenge”
incorrect meaning and Ta’weel.

17. Children of Israel combined Maa’si and Udwan (sin and transgression)
18. Permissibility to seek means of nearness to Allah throught invocation of someone’s
invocation is anticipated to be accepted
 Affirmed in Islam
Evidence  “Invoke your Lord for us”

 People came to the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬to invoke to be included to be among 70,000 who
reach Jannah without accountability-
Need for tawassul of Pious Person :Is it needed ?
1. General Muslims : If the matter is general reason then it is needed
Umar ibn Ul Khattab asked Al Abbas ibn Abdul Mattalib to invoke Allah for
rain for all masses
Man asked prophet to pray for rain in firday sermon

2. Specific for a person:


a. Intention to benefit the sought person:
 If you invoke Allah for someone , Allah will give you the same.
Angel says “Ameen” wa laka bimithliha
b. Intention to benefit oneself:
 Not allowed or disliked
 Oh Muslims brothers when you want to make dua you yourself make it don’t
depend on others” Shiekh Saleh Al Uthaimeen
 Dua is worship – during this invocation through returning to him, humility and
state of heart – you may get better than what you are asking for or its response.

19. Permissibile for making perefernce of food


Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
20. Actions of allah are linked to His wisdom
 No ruling of legal legislation that is decreed except that it is linked to His wisdom.
 Whenever we read something related to His will- not just sheer will –will
necessitated by His wisdom
٣٠ ‫نونما نتنشانءونن إملل نأن نينشانء ٱ ملل ن إملن ٱللن نكانن نعمليدما نحمكي ضما‬
30. And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise;
Surah Insan 76:30

21. Children of Israel in addition to transgressing rights of Allah they transgressed by killing
of prophets and those who enjoined what was right.

dissolution and leads to more of kind see 2:61-62- array of sins one after another- one
leads to another

in reality it is not – moneky is similar to human but not exactly him
Recompence is dependant oon the action done

40. So each We punished for his sin; of them was he on whom We sent down a violent storm,
and of them was he whom the rumbling overtook, and of them was he whom We made to be
swallowed up by the earth, and of them was he whom We drowned; and it did not beseem
Allah that He should be unjust to them, but they were unjust to their own souls.
Surah Ankaboot 29:40
4. Affirming speech of Allah

The statement of Allah “ we said”


Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
5. Those who were transformed into monkeys are those who transgress on Saturday
a. Those who did not call to ti were saved
b. Those who were silent and didn’t share in the act- allah did not mention anything about
them so we don’t either.

6. Punishment of earlier nations is lesson for future generations

١١١ ‫نيؤؤممننونن‬
111. In their histories there is certainly a lesson for men of understanding. It is not a narrative
which could be forged, but a verification of what is before it and a distinct explanation of all
things and a guide and a mercy to a people who believe.
Surah yusuf

7. Two types on Admonishment


a. Universal or kawni- Admonishment in this verse is kawni, Allah punished them as
lesson for others to learn from
More intence in effectiveness for those who have hard hearts
Adminoshment in pre –decreed

b. Legal or shar’ee
٥٧ ‫صندومر نونهضدى نونرؤحنمةة لبؤلنمؤؤمممنينن‬ ‫ش ىنيأ نلينها ٱللنا ن‬
‫س نقؤد نجانءؤتنكم لمؤومعنظةة بمن لرببنك ؤم نومشنفاةء لبنما مفي ٱل ل‬
57. O men! there has come to you indeed an admonition from your Lord and a
healing for what is in the breasts and a guidance and a mercy for the believers.
Surah Yunus

Legal adminoshing is more effective to the upon the hearts of those who know Allah,
soft hearted
Benefit of beliver in revelation is more than pre-decreed matters
Benefit of admonishmentare pious.
Admonishment in revelation

Impious do not benefit from neither of the admonishments

The impious one may not benefit at all saying its just natural calamities

a. Heedless of universal admonishment

‫ساقرقطا نيأقوألواا ن‬
٤٤ ‫سنحاةب دملرأكوةم‬ ‫نورإن نينرلواا ركلسقفا رمنن ٱل د‬
‫سنمارء ن‬
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
44. And if they should see a portion of the heaven coming down, they would say: Piled
up clouds. Surah toor 44
b. Benefiting out of need in universal admonishment 29:65.

٦٥ ‫صينن نلنه ٱلبدينن نفنللما ننلجشىنه ؤم إمنلى ٱؤلنببر إمنذا نه ؤم نيؤشمرنكونن‬ ‫نفإمنذا نرمكنبواا مفي ٱؤلفنؤلمك ندنعنواا ٱ ل ن‬
‫ل نمؤخلم م‬
65. So when they ride in the ships they call upon Allah, being sincerely obedient to Him,
but when He brings them safe to the land, lo! they associate others (with Him); surah
Ankaboot

 Benefit only in worldliness and not in true sense;sve themelves on stormy


ships but resort to shirk in safety.
٣٢ ‫ص ةمد نونما نيؤجنحند ‍نمب‍اشنيمتننا إملل نكلل نخلتاةر نكنفوةر‬

8. Benefits of piety believer gives heed benefitting from universal and legal
admohishments changing himself and making reform

٦٧ ‫ل أنؤن أننكونن ممنن ٱؤلشنجمهملينن‬ ‫ل نيؤأنمنرنك ؤم نأن نتؤذنبنحواا نبنقنر ضةة نقال نىواا أننتلت م‬
‫خنذننا نهنز ضوةا نقانل أننعونذ مبٱ ل م‬ ‫ؤ‬
‫نوإمذ نقانل نمونسشى لمنقؤومممهىۦ إملن ٱ ل ن‬

67. And when Musa said to his people: Surely Allah commands you that you should
sacrifice a cow; they said: Do you ridicule us? He said: I seek the protection of Allah
from being one of the ignorant.

Explanation

Background of the command:

 Moosa is admonishing his people with goodness. Telling tham of command of


slaughtering a cow.
 Two groups disputed amongst themselves for killing a person, potential fitan
amongst themselves. (See 2:72)
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Moosa was taken as judge ut he conveyed the command from Allah and not
by himself- profound impact of direct command of Allah to the children of
Israel
 Command to slaughter a cow-general no description- compliance from them
meant they would slaughter any cow

‫نقال نىواا أننتلت م‬


‫خنذننا نهنز ضوةا‬

 They were stubborn ; asking arrogantly “do you make fun of us??”
 Mockinglys questioning wisdom of Allah and His command :“How does this
solve our conflict ???”

٦٧ ‫نقانل أننعونذ مبٱللم أنؤن أننكونن ممنن ٱؤلشنجمهملينن‬


 Moosa replied seeking refuge in Allah- “ I don’t want to be foolish (jahil)

‫ض نونل مبؤكءر نعنوامنن نبؤينن شنذلم ة ن‬


٦٨ ‫ك نفٱؤفنعنلواا نما نتؤؤنمنرونن‬ ‫نقانلواا ٱؤدنع نلننا نرلبنك نينببين للننا نما مهمني نقانل إملننهۥ نينقونل إملننها نبنقنرةة لل نفامر ة‬
68. They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us what she is. Musa
said: He says, Surely she is a cow neither advanced in age nor too young, of middle
age between that (and this); do therefore what you are commanded.

‫ك نينببين للننا نما مهمني‬


‫نقانلواا ٱؤدنع نلننا نرلب ن‬
Explanation

 Request from Allah to details of cow is baseless and asked out of arrogance.

‫ض نونل مبؤكءر نعنوامنن نبؤينن شنذلم ة ن‬


‫ك‬ ‫نقانل إملننهۥ نينقونل إملننها نبنقنرةة لل نفامر ة‬

 Moosa responded to their arrogance by an appropriate to their request


 Cow neither too young nor too old
 Urging them to fulfill a command of Allah : “Do what you are commanded,
don’t be studbbirn lest Allah burden you more”
 People of inaad (arrogance) and ta’annudh(stubbornness- asking for conflict)

٦٩ ‫صؤفنرانء نفامقةع للؤونننها نتنسلر ٱلشلنمظمرينن‬


‫نقانلواا ٱؤدنع نلننا نرلبنك نينببين للننا نما نلؤونننهما نقانل إملننهۥ نينقونل إملننها نبنقنرةة ن‬
69. They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us what her
color is. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a yellow cow; her color is intensely
yellow, giving delight to the beholders.

 Yellow cow, bright delightful to the onlooker; just as children of Israel made it
difficult for themselves Allah gave them an appropriate requirement
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Conditions of color- yellow, bright and pleasing to onlookers- all condition
were made incumbent upon them due to their stubbirness on that which was
easy,plain and general
٧٠ ‫نقانلواا ٱؤدنع نلننا نرلبنك نينببين للننا نما مهني إملن ٱؤلنبنقنر نتشنشنبنه نعنلؤيننا نوإملنا مإن نشانء ٱلل ن نلنمؤهنتندونن‬
70. They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us what she is, for surely to us
the cows are all alike, and if Allah please we shall surely be guided aright.
Explanation

 They asked for the actions of cow, what it would do.


‫نوإملنا مإن نشانء ٱلل ن نلنمؤهنتندونن‬

 Linked guidance to will of Allah


 Had it not been thay they said “ had allah willed they would never have been guided to
the cow”
 If their intentions was to assign matters to allah because it is still possible – were trying
to find excuse if they couldn’t find a cow they would blame the guidance to Allah and
not themselves
‫ت مبٱؤلنحمبق نفنذنبنحونها نونما نكاندواا‬ ‫ث نمنسللنمةة لل مشنينة مفينهما نقانلواا ٱؤلشـ‍ننن م‬
‫جؤئ ن‬ ‫ض نونل نتؤسمقي ٱؤلنحؤر ن‬
‫نقانل إملننهۥ نينقونل إملننها نبنقنرةة لل نذنلوةل نتمثينر ٱؤلنؤر ن‬
٧١ ‫نيؤفنعنلونن‬
71. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a cow not made submissive that she should plough the
land, nor does she irrigate the tilth; sound, without a blemish in her. They said: Now you have
brought the truth; so they sacrificed her, though they had not the mind to do (it).

 The Israelite stories in books of tafseer- cow was with a mna who was dutiful to his
mother, buying at rpaice equivalent to its skins weight- stories which we neither believer
not bely
 Apprante meaning shows its not true, had it been true then its transmission would have
been important , its lesson being important
 Some mufassireen mentions it

٧١ ‫ت مبٱؤلنحمبق نفنذنبنحونها نونما نكاندواا نيؤفنعنلونن‬ ‫نقانلواا ٱؤلشـ‍ننن م‬


‫جؤئ ن‬

Now you have brought the truth; so they sacrificed her, though they had not the mind to do
(it).
Explanation
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Thise verse : now you have broght the truth” implies that Moosa was speaking
falsehood against them; evidence is that they accused him of making fun of them.
 Some mufassireen said that “ this is complete clarification”- not strong opinions
 Truth means “ opposition to falsehood” since they accused moosa of monking them.
‫نفنذنبنحونها نونما نكاندواا نيؤفنعنلونن‬
They slaughtered it with delayed action

٧٢ ‫نوإمؤذ نقنتؤلنت ؤم ننؤفضسا نفٱشلد ش ‍نرنت ؤم مفينهةا نوٱلل ن نمؤخمرةج لما نكننت ؤم نتؤكنتنمونن‬
72. And when you killed a man, then you disagreed with respect to that, and Allah was to bring
forth that which you were going to hide.

 The speech was to Jews of the Prophet;s time but action was of children of Israel
 A man was killed and two tribes fell in dispute over it and moosa was commanded to
slaughter this cow.
 Disagreed over the killed person ---
٧٣ ‫ضنهما نكشنذلمنك نيؤحيم ٱلل ن ٱؤلنمؤونتشى نونيمرينك ؤم نءاشنيمتمهۦ نلنعللنك ؤم نتؤعمقنلونن‬ ‫نفقنؤلننا ٱ ؤ‬
‫ضمرنبوهن مبنبؤع م‬
73. So We said: Strike the (dead body) with part of the (Sacrificed cow), thus Allah brings the
dead to life, and He shows you His signs so that you may understand.
They were commanded to striking the dead man with a piece of flesh from dead cow they
slaughtered

‫نل نتنحبرؤك مبمهۦ لمنسانن ن‬


١٦ ‫ك لمنتؤعنجنل مبمهىۦ‬
16. Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
١٧ ‫إملن نعلنؤيننا نجؤمنعنهۥ نوقنؤرنءانننهۥ‬
17. Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.
١٨ ‫نفإمنذا نقنرؤأشنننه نفٱلتمبؤع قنؤرنءانننهۥ‬
18. Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.
Surah qiyamah

 The one who recited to Prophet was Jibril and he followed similarly Moosa was
commanded to tell his people of striking the piece of cow to the man,

‫نكشنذلم ن‬
‫ك نيؤحيم ٱلل ن ٱؤلنمؤونتشى نونيمرينك ؤم نءاشنيمتمهۦ نلنعللنك ؤم نتؤعمقنلونن‬
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Allah brings dead to life as He would do in resurrection

‫صؤينحضة شنو م‬
‫حندضة نفإمنذا نه ؤم نجممي ةع للندؤيننا نمؤح ن‬

 Do you covet or hope ?
 Used intending remoteness of possibility
 Hope with intensiveness – covet  ‫نتؤطنمنعونن‬

Word of Allah –Possible Explanations by Scholars
1. Torah
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 They heard torah,changed and altered it, after understanding it and knowing
what it meant
 Distortion of Torah concerning attributes of Prophet and his advent.
 After his coming they denied that he is the one prophecied in the torah

2. Words of Allah with Moosa


o Chosen men with Moosa who denied believing until seeing Allah
 These meant heard words of Allah; changed it

3. Quran
Sheikh Saleh Al Uthaimeen held there is no support for this view
If this possibility is correct;closer than meanings mentioned earlier

‫جؤرهن نحلتشى نيؤسنمنع نكشنلنم ٱللم نثلم أنؤبلمؤغنه نمؤأنمنننهمۥ شنذلم ن‬


٦ ‫ك مبأ نلننه ؤم نقؤوةم لل نيؤعنلنمونن‬ ‫نوإمؤن أننحةد بمنن ٱؤلنمؤشمرمكينن ٱؤسنتنجانر ن‬
‫ك نفأ ن م‬
6. And if one of the idolaters seek protection from you, grant him protection till he hears the
word of Allah, then make him attain his place of safety; this is because they are a people
who do not know.
Here it refers to Quran
‫نونه ؤم نيؤعنلنمونن‬
Committed sin knowing ful well
Benefits of Verse
1) One who hears words of Allah altering it

 Farther in accepting truth than one who doesn’t hear words of Allah

2) Allah comforts His messenger relieving him from sorro


 Children of Israel are transgressors in Medina, cannot vcovet their belief
3) Affirmation of Allah’s speech, with a voiced heard
 Speech of Allah is real and true attribute, sounds, letters and voice

Speech of Allah

 Attribute of Action in its singular occurences;


Attributes which are linked to His will, so they take place if He wishes like
ascension on Throne, descension in lower Heavens, and coming on Day of
jugement.
Allah spoke to Moosa  attributes of action is manifested
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
Pleasure,anger etc  Sifaat ikhtiyariyyah
 Attribute of Self (Personal Attributes) Origin of attributes ; it is eternally and
sempiternally established with Him like knowledge, Ability, Power, Hearing
,Seeing etc  Attributes of Essence
 In its origin it is eternal and occurs when He wills ;He is always qualified with His
speech
Response to Ash’arite and other sects
Ash’ari Belief : Held that speech of Allah is “meaning establiehd within Himself, letters and
voices are NOT from speech of Allah but denote of Allah” Allah created the sounds and letters in
order to express withint Himself.This only implies that quran is created.
4) Alteration of speech of Allah is quality of Jews

 Some from this Ummah did it and were NOT successful, schoalrs unravel these
distortions

1. Do not shed blood of your people

‫نل نتؤسمفنكونن مدنمانءنك ؤم‬


Killing is a grievous sin
Prophet said, “ it ie forbidden for anyone who believes in Allah and Last day to shed
blood.”
Killing unjustly is sin
Your people

2. Do not turn out people from their dwellings


‫نونل نتؤخمرنجونن نأنفننسنكم بمن مدشنيمرنك ؤم‬
ۚ‫نثلم أنؤقنرؤرنت ؤم نونأننت ؤم نتؤشنهندونن ؤ‬

 “You bore witness , ratification nd witnessing was there; after all of that you
killed one another and drove put some from their homes”
 Addressing the people during time of prophet- the Jews.

‫نثلم نأننت ؤم ش ىنهنؤنلمء نتؤقنتنلونن نأنفننسنك ؤم نونتؤخمرنجونن نفمريضقا بمننكم بمن مدشنيمرمه ؤم نتشنظنهنرونن نعنلؤيمهم مبٱؤلمؤثمم نوٱؤلنعؤدشنومن نومإن نيؤأنتونك ؤم‬

85. Yet you it is who slay your people and turn a party from among you out of
their homes, backing each other up against them unlawfully and exceeding the
limits; and if they should come to you, as captives you would ransom them--
while their very turning out was unlawful for you. Do you then believe in a part
of the Book and disbelieve in the other? What then is the re ward of such among
you as do this but disgrace in the life of this world, and on the day of resurrection
they shall be sent back to the most grievous chastisement, and Allah is not at all
heedless of what you do.

Shows strong and profound incitement to keep away from others
Transgression is forbidden agisnt one other – unit and brotherhood

 Children Of Israel ratified covenant, there were witnesses on that

 Some of them used to help others in sin and transgression-victory is unjust
Allah made some of his slaves excel over others
Surah hujurat the most honorable is one who has taqwa39:35
 Rebel against sha’riah
They ransowmed they captives- followed scripture piecemeal

 Disbelieve in some of sha’riah is disbelieve in entirety

it, and they will say: Ah! woe to us! what a book is this! it does not omit a small one
nor a great one, but numbers them (all); and what they had done they shall find
present (there); and your Lord does not deal unjustly with anyone.

Negation of injustice affirmed the complete opposite ie. Justice

87. And most certainly We gave Musa the Book and We sent messengers after him one after
another; and We gave Isa, the son of Marium, clear arguments and strengthened him with the
holy spirit, What! whenever then a messenger came to you with that which your souls did not
desire, you were insolent so you called some liars and some you slew.

14. O you who believe! be helpers (in the cause) of Allah, as~ Isa son of Marium said to (his)
disciples: Who are my helpers in the cause of Allah? The disciples said: We are helpers (in the
cause) of Allah. So a party of the children of Israel believed and another party disbelieved; then
We aided those who believed against their enemy, and they became uppermost.

We supported him with a good and pure spirit (intedning good and not evil)
2. Injeel or Gospel
Revelation could be called spirit in

the Book was, nor (what) the faith (was), but We made it a light, guiding thereby whom We
please of Our servants; and most surely you show the way to the right path:

Prophet said to Hassan ibn Thabit making dua for him who composed poetry against the
pagans o Allah support him with ruh il qudus( jibreel)Agreed Upon
Opinion of Ibn Jareer and Ibn Kathir
Correct opinion
‫أننفنكللنما نجانءنك ؤم نرنسومنل‬
Is it that?
‫مبنما نل نتؤهنو ش ىى نأنفننسنكنم ٱؤسنتؤكنبؤرنت ؤم‬
Is it that whenever a messenger came to you ?”- denounciation and scoff

 A messenger coming to you with a Sha’riah which you don’t desire you grow arrogance
‫نفنفمريضقا نكلذؤبنت ؤم نونفمريضقا نتؤقنتنلونن‬

 Some of them you belied while others you killed (after belying them).
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬too was poisoned in Khyber he said “ O Aisha I still feel the pain cuased by
food I ate at Khyber.I feel as if my aorta is being cut from me.”
 Imam Zuhri held prophet died as martyr because he was killed by poisoning
 Beleying of messenger continued till the time of prophet ‫ﷺ‬
How could imam Zuhri’s opinion reconcile with verse in surah Maaida 5:67
that prophet will be protected.
‫س إملن ٱللن نل نيؤهمدي ٱؤلنقؤونم ٱؤلشنكمفمرينن‬
‫ك ممنن ٱللنا م م‬ ‫ك نومإن لل ؤم نتؤفنعؤل نفنما نبللؤغ ن‬

٦٧
67. O Messenger! deliver what has been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do it not,
then you have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from the people; surely
Allah will not guide the unbelieving people. Surah Maaida 5:67

Meaning of the verse is protection is during your proclamation go ahed and convey your
message, you will not be harmed during your mission or prevented from proclamation.”

‫نونقاألواا قأألوأبننا أغلل ن أ‬
٨٨ ‫ف نبل دلنعننأهأم ٱدل أ ربأكلفررره لم نفنقلريقل دما أيلؤرمأنونن‬
88. And they say: Our hearts are covered. Nay, Allah has cursed them on account of their
unbelief; so little it is that they believe.

 Futile argument of Jews -curse of Allah for their disbelief- blameworthy of Jews.
‫نفنقمليضل لما نيؤؤممننونن‬

 Their belief is little – does it incidate non existence or is it apprante little faith or
apparent
 Non existence – this meaning is close
 Using term “little” can be used for “non existence” – verbal and actual proofs support it.
Points of Benefit
1. Affirming messenger of Moosa
2. Affirming the information that is important

 takeedul khabari bi’sha’n


 eventhough the one addressed is not denying
 three forms of affirmation – one being addressed is not denying
 affirmation of statement has three statements
a. Addressed to one denying:
 affirms something obligatory or wujoob
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
b. addresses to one hesistant/ doubtful:
recommended to affirm.

c. News of high importance


recommended to affirm this news eventhough it address who does not deny nor is
hesistent.
Using articles of affirmation

3. Messengers after Moosa are his followers

“And we have sent messengers in succession following him.”

44. Surely We revealed the Taurat in which was guidance and light; with it the prophets
who submitted themselves (to Allah) judged (matters) for those who were Jews, and the
masters of Divine knowledge and the doctors, because they were required to guard
(part) of the Book of Allah, and they were witnesses thereof; therefore fear not the
people and fear Me, and do not take a small price for My communications; and whoever
did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unbelievers.
Surah Maaida 5:44
4. Affirmation of Message of easa

We gave easa ibn Maryam clear signs

5. Person with unknown father is related to his mother


6. Allah gave easa gave Universal and Legal signs
 Universal signs- giving life to dead, curing lepers and blind
 Easa was given these signs because medicine reached excellence – age of Medicine-
signs were brought to show that no medical doctor could bring about- clarification of
existence of Allah and sign from Allah
 Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬was sent wth linguistic miracle- excellence of his age
 Legal signs- Injeel.
7. Easa supported with jibreel

 Angels give support to whomever Allah commands them


 Prophet supplicated for Hassan ibnThabit – to strengthen him with Ruh il qudus
 Proof of non divinity – had he been god he would not have required aid from Jibreel.
8. Stubbornness of Children of Israel
9. Children of Israel resort to Arrogance when messengers were sent don’t act wisely.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
Clear stance with viz a viz the Sha’riah – accept part of ti and rejct a part and viz a viz
the one who brougth Shariah- some they belied others killed with belying
10. Anyone who rejects truth which contradicts his desire resembles Children of Israel
Arrogance throught Tahreef  alteration or change
Types of Diversion from truth
i. Attest to truth acknowledge his disobedience
ii. Rejects truth, alter texts to fit his desires More sinister to Islam
Rejecs truth because it is against what he desires

11. children of Israel – two groups regarding the messengers


Belying and Killing
12. resorted to futile arguments
“Our hearts are covered.”

 The resorters of arrogance give reasons “ Allah did not guide us”
 Their hearts are not covered Allah responded “ Nay Allah cursed them.”
 Curse of Allah due to their disbelief prevented truth from reaching them
 Fitrah – hearts originally to natural inclination- impediements prevent guidance
12. Matters do not occur except with causes and absence of impediments
13. faith is little or non- existent I Jews

aforetime they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieve, but when there
came to them (Prophet) that which they did not recognize, they disbelieved in him; so
Allah´s curse is on the unbelievers.

disgraceful punishment for the unbelievers.

believers?

157. Those who follow the Messenger-Prophet, the Ummi, whom they find written down with
them in the Taurat and the Injeel (who) enjoins them good and forbids them evil, and makes
lawful to them the good things and makes unlawful to them impure things, and removes from
them their burden and the shackles which were upon them; so (as for) those who believe in him
and honor him and help him, and follow the light which has been sent down with him, these it
is that are the successful. Surah A’raf 7:157

Their books had prophecy of prophet had they really believed they would beleiv in the prophets

92. And most certainly Musa came to you with clear arguments, then you took the calf (for a
god) in his absence and you were unjust.

Asserted Statement:

 Made hole in golden calf carved from the gold they carried – it made noise when wind
passed in it
 Samr deceived them saying it was their god.
 Moosa had withdrawn for 30 days and 10 were added by Allah- Samri seduced them
saying Moosa was NOT guided to His Lord and told them it was their god.
 Harum brother of Moosa forbade them thye denied worshipping it till Moosa’ returns

‫نقانلواا نلن لنؤبنرنح نعلنؤيمه شنعمكمفينن نحلتشى نيؤر م‬

what We have given you with firmness and be obedient. They said: We hear and disobey. And

 Calf itself does not drink- love of the cow is to the extent is like water nourishing the
heart.
 Dry clay mixed with water analogy of heart and worship of calf.
 Expressed in a way calf entered their hearts and it happens by will of Allah.
 Construction of statement which involves something which Allah hates and dislikes-
grammatical make up is done without naming actual doer.

the weak believer, although both are good. Strive for that which will benefit you, seek the help
of Allah, and do not feel helpless. If anything befalls you, do not say, "if only I had done such and
such" rather say "Qaddara Allahu wa ma sha'a fa'ala (Allah has decreed and whatever he wills,
He does)." For (saying) 'If' opens (the door) to the deeds of Satan.'" Sahih (Darussalam) sunan

‫نوممنن ٱللمذينن أنؤشنرنكواا‬


Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223

Greedier thant those who ascribe partners to Allah ie amajor shikr

Differences of Opinion on meaning:

1. New statement Musta’naff stop at “hayaatin”, new statement later is different


statement.

 Meaning from those who ascribe partners to Allah you will find from them those who
like to stay alive a life of 1000 years (committers of shirk)
 Althought this is possible from a literal aspect, in meaning it is remote
 And from those who ascribe partners—new statement subject ahaduhum—Mushriks
and pronouns refers to Jews
2. Adjoint phrase:

 Conjugated with term “naas”


 Those who ascribe partners to Allah is conjugated t naas or mankind
 So you will find them greediest of mankind more greedier that those who ascribe
partners to Allah
 People of the books ebeleive in paraside and hell , resurrection whereas pagans who
don’t by analogy should be more greedy since he dbeleives death means end of affair-
keen to attach to this life.
 Strong opinions or correct
 Possible refers to Jews in this case recitation stops at ashraku’- pissible to refer to
Mushriks
 Pronouns refers to Mushriks
Predonreant due to two matters
1. whenever there is pronouns originally it refers to closest mentioned noun
2. if Mushrik wishes to live 1000 year, knowing Jew is more greediest, this entails Jewish wishes
to live more than 1000 years.
Closest mentioned here are Mushriks

 Correct dua “May Allah give you longer life on his obedience”
11. Allah encompasses actions of Jews and everyone else-Allah is all seer
Seer – means knowledge or Seeing
Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said, “ His veil is light”

 if he uncovers that the subhat of Allah’s face would burn whatever His sight reaches of
creations- hadeeth affirms seeing of Allah.

Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬was standing amongst us and he told us five things. He said: Verily
the Exalted and Mighty God does not sleep, and it does not befit Him to sleep. He lowers the
scale and lifts it. The deeds in the night are taken up to Him before the deeds of the day, and the
deeds of the day before the deeds of the night. His veil is the light. In the hadith narrated by
Abu Bakr (instead of the word "light" ) it is fire. If he withdraws it (the veil), the splendour of His
countenance would consume His creation so far as His sight reaches. Sahih Muslim 179 a

subsist; slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in
the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission? He knows what is
before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His

Sulaiman was not an unbeliever, but the Shaitans disbelieved, they taught men sorcery and that
was sent down to the two angels at Babel, Harut and Marut, yet these two taught no man until
they had said, "Surely we are only a trial, therefore do not be a disbeliever." Even then men
learned from these two, magic by which they might cause a separation between a man and his
wife; and they cannot hurt with it any one except with Allah´s permission, and they learned
what harmed them and did not profit them, and certainly they know that he who bought it
should have no share of good in the hereafter and evil was the price for which they sold their
souls, had they but known this.

sanction? And were it not for the word of judgment, decision would have certainly been given
between them; and surely the unjust shall have a painful punishment.

1. All praise is due to Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, the Maker of the
angels, messengers flying on wings, two, and three, and four; He increases in creation what He
pleases; surely Allah has power over all things.
Ghafir
Could it be said enemy of believers is also enemy of Allah?
1. one takes position of retraint whether this versa stands as proof for this, except he takes
believers as enemies becase he holds to Sha’riah then he is enemy to Allah. Allah is enemy to
him.
٣ ‫ إملن نشامننئنك نهنو ٱؤلنؤبنتنر‬Surah kawthar
3. Surely your enemy is the one who shall be without posterity,

 The one who hates you or hates that which you brought from the Sunnah
 Hadith Qudsi—‘ Whoever takes hostility to a pious worshipper of mine I will declare war
against him. Sahih Bukhari
 Shk Uthaimen takes position of restraint as to thwther this verse which refers to enemy
of Aangels, messngers and Allah can be sued to indicate that whoever is enemy to
belivers is enemy to Allah and vice-verse
 If anyone takes belivers as enemies because of holding on to Sha’riah then Allah is his
enemies.
4. Whoever is kaafir then Allah is his enemy
5. Enmity of Allah
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Attriute of Allah, attribute of Action like pleasure wrath, anget hate etc

‫ت‬ ‫نونلنقؤد نأننزؤلننا إمنلؤي ن‬
‫ك نءاشني م م‬
‫نءاشني م م‬
Ayaat- ‫ت‬

 Ayat is sign –comprises of proof as well.


 Scholars interpret with closest meaning and what it entails - method evident in the
example:
٢ ‫ب مفيهمه نهضدى لبؤلنملتمقينن‬ ‫ شنذلمنك ٱؤلمكشنت ن‬2:2
‫ب نل نرؤي ه ن‬
2. This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil). Surah Baqarah
2:2
Example

‫نرؤي ه ن‬
‫ب‬

 Raib is more particular than general doubt: entails “doubt with unease”
 There is no doubt(no unease)
 Ibn taymiyyah discusses this in Usool ut tafseer
 Bayyanaat- clear proofs
‫نونما نيؤكفننر مبنها إملل ٱؤلشنفمسنقونن‬

Fasiq – rebel major against Allah takes us fout of fold of Islam


32:20
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
‫نوأنلما ٱللمذينن نفنسنقواا نفنمؤأنوشىنهنم ٱللناةنر نكللنما أننراندىواا نأن نيؤخنرنجواا ممؤننها أ نمعيندواا مفينها نومقينل نلنه ؤم نذونقواا نعنذا ن‬
٢٠ ‫ب ٱللنامر ٱللمذي نكننتم مبمهۦ نتنكبذنبونن‬
20. And as for those who transgress, their abode is the fire; whenever they desire to go forth
from it they shall be brought back into it, and it will be said to them: Taste the chastisement of
the fire which you called a lie.

 Fisq Rebellion – Major or Minor


 Major dies not take out of fold of islam
 Minor does not take out of fold of Islam unless he insists it is permissible

Benefits of the verse


1. Quran is manginifcent book

 Allah added the term to Him, considered it a ayat or sign


2. Affirmation of Allah’s Trnscendance above creation

‫نولننقؤد نأننزؤلننا إملنؤي ن‬


‫ك‬

 Ever established attribute of essence


 Qualidifed with this attribute always
 Unlike Istiwa over Arsh – Attributes of Action since it is linked to His will Mashiyyah.
3. Describing the quran as manifest sign, evidence and proofs

 This does not contradict the saying of Allah 3:7


‫ب نوأ ننخنر نمنتشنشمبشنه ةةت نفأ نلما ٱللمذينن مفي قننلومبمه ؤم نزؤيةغ نفنيلتمبنعونن نما نتشنشنبنه ممؤننه ٱؤبمتنغانء‬

7. He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive, they are the basis
of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity
they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their
own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly
rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind except those
having understanding. Surah Imran 3:7

 Nothing of the verses are unknown to entire Ummah- had this been the case then quran
would not be manifest explanation.
 People of deviation they follow that which is not entirely celar seeking fitna.
 Quran requires a aheart that is open to receiving it.
 Rebellion leads to disbelief rebellious are disbelivers
1. Anyone who disbelieves is fasiq or rebel
2. ascridibg major fisq to kafir
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223

Fisq is of two types:


a) Major (takes person out of Islam)
32:20
The opposite beelivers get janna and their opposite disbeleivers or fasiqoon get hell fire
b) Minor fisq
‫ليشنمنن نونزلينننهۥ مفي قننلومبك ؤمن‬ ‫ؤ‬ ‫ل لنؤو نيمطينعنك ؤم مفي نكمثيةر بمنن ٱؤلنؤممر لننعنملت ؤم نو شلنمكلن ٱللن نحلب ن‬

‫نونكلرنه إملنؤينكنم ٱؤلنكؤفنر نوٱؤلفننسونق نوٱؤلمع ؤ‬
7. And know that among you is Allah´s Messenger; should he obey you in many a
matter, you would surely fall into distress, but Allah has endeared the faith to you
and has made it seemly in your hearts, and He has made hateful to you unbelief and
transgression and disobedience; these it is that are the followers of a right way.
49:7
Fis q is conjugated with kufr here showing distinction – added to kufur – addition or
conjugation entails diticntion or “muayarah”

Signs of Allah
a. Universal- pertains to His creation

‫س نونل لمؤلنقنممر نوٱؤسنجندوااا م ل ا م‬

Verse 100
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
١٠٠ ‫أننو نكللنما شنعنهندواا نعؤهضدا لننبنذنهۥ نفمريةق بمؤننه مم نبؤل أنؤكنثنرنه ؤم نل نيؤؤممننونن‬
100. What! whenever they make a covenant, a party of them cast it aside? Nay, most of
them do not believe.

 Covenant Different people of different creeds – between two kaafir tow different or a
kafir and muslim nation
 They – refers to Jews.
 Ayaat which is plural of ayah are of two types
 Legal and Universal signs.
 Awakullama – exclamation
 A groups of Jews abandoned the covenant – not fulfilling it, broke covenants with slaves
of Allah as well
 Broke covenant with the prophet ‫ﷺ‬

Most of them believe not


True believers fulfill covenant; incumbent upon them
Surah isra 17:34
٣٤ ‫شلدهنمۥ نوأنؤونفواا مبٱؤلنعؤهةمد إملن ٱؤلنعؤهند نكانن نم ؤ ‍نس‍وضل‬
‫نونل نتؤقنرنبواا نمانل ٱؤلنيمتيمم إملل مبٱللمتي مهني أنؤحنسنن نحلتشى نيؤبل ننغ أن ن‬

34. And draw not near to the property of the orphan except in a goodly way till he attains his
maturity and fulfill the promise; surely (every) promise shall be questioned about.

 Sign of hypocrite – breaks a covenant proves treacherous

Verse 101
١٠١ ‫ظنهومرمه ؤم نكأ نلننه ؤم نل نيؤعنلنمونن‬ ‫ب مكشنت ن‬
‫ب ٱللم نونرانء ن‬ ‫صبدةق لبنما نمنعنه ؤم نننبنذ نفمريةق بمنن ٱللمذينن نأونتواا ٱؤلمكشنت ن‬ ‫نونللما نجانءنه ؤم نرنسوةل بمؤن معنمد ٱ ل م‬
‫ل نم ن‬
101. And when there came to them a Messenger from Allah verifying that which they have, a
party of those who were given the Book threw the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they
knew nothing.

 Prophet ‫ﷺ‬is messenger to people of the book- had important qualification what
was with them he confirmed it
 Book of Allah – adjointed to Allah since Allah spoke the quran.
 Jibril heard it from Allah, broguhtit down to the prophet
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
 Quran is called a book kitab ebcuase it is written or maktoob in Preserved Tablet,
records in hands of angels and records we have now.
 Throwing away – completely turned away from it, set aside or turn to left –
possible to take from it, then this tells of intense state of abandonement and
relinquishment as if they didn’t know that quran is truth

Benefits of these two verses


1. Jews cannot be trusted in any covenant.
2. Breaching by a party of nation a breach of entire nation as long as they don’t denounce of
this breaching – denouncement means they are not blamed
Deducted from the fact that Allah reprimanded the Jews for a party of their doings
3. From the people of the Book there were those who believe in the Quran and messenger like
Abdullah Bin Salam and Najashi.
4. Anyone who throws covenant from this Ummah then he commits two violations – Hypocrisy
Propeht said, If he speaks he lies if he priises he fils to keep it and if he is trusted thenn he is
treacherous.”
Four qualities are present in someone then he is hyporites if one of it is present then he is paertl
;when he speaks he lies and when he is entrusted he proves treacherous..
5. Message of the Propeht is truth
Min indi Allah A Book sent down from Allah
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:
The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite
and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of
hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up.
1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.
2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.
4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner." : Sahih
al-Bukhari 34

6. Foretelling by prophet shows his proepehthood


7. The message of the prophet is truth because Allah said min indiAllah
8. The message is something foretold by previous books
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
223
9. The message of prophet confirms the previous message of the messengers
10. Despite this clarity still a party of those who were given the book threw it away.
11. Relinquishing and throwing away on the fact that someone who ahs book like Jews and
Christians is more ignominy and ugly
12. Quran is speech of Allah because Allah prefised it to himself
13. Affirming ugly action of those who rejct as if they knew not.
14. the messenger ‫ ﷺ‬is messenger to children of Israel as well

102. And they followed what the Shaitans chanted of sorcery in the reign of Sulaiman, and
Sulaiman was not an unbeliever, but the Shaitans disbelieved, they taught men sorcery and that
was sent down to the two angels at Babel, Harut and Marut, yet these two taught no man until
they had said, "Surely we are only a trial, therefore do not be a disbeliever." Even then men
learned from these two, magic by which they might cause a separation between a man and his
wife; and they cannot hurt with it any one except with Allah´s permission, and they learned
what harmed them and did not profit them, and certainly they know that he who bought it
should have no share of good in the hereafter and evil was the price for which they sold their
souls, had they but known this.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah

‫ك نأن ن‬ ‫نقانل نر ب‬
35. He said: My Lord! do Thou forgive me and grant me a kingdom which is not fit for (being
inherited by) anyone after me; Surah Sad 38:38.

246. Have you not considered the chiefs of the children of Israel after Musa, when they said to a
prophet of theirs: Raise up for us a king, (that) we may fight in the way of Allah. He said: May it
not be that you would not fight if fighting is ordained for you? They said: And what reason have
we that we should not fight in the way of Allah, and we have indeed been compelled to
abandon our homes and our children. But when fighting was ordained for them, they turned
back, except a few of them, and Allah knows the unjust. Surah Baqarah 2:246

 Samuel – prophet ‫ﷺ‬


٢٥٢ ‫ك نلممنن ٱؤلنمؤرنسملينن‬ ‫م‬

82. Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for those who believe (to be) the
Jews and those who are polytheists, and you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those
who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and
monks among them and because they do not behave proudly. Surah Maa’ida 5:82

 This verse is addressing a particular type from the Christians those who are Minks and
priest who are not proud, if they would here verses of Allah they would believe, and in
the messenger of Allah- those who believes are of this type

83. And when they hear what has been revealed to the messenger you will see their eyes
overflowing with tears on account of the truth that they recognize; they say: Our Lord! we
believe, so write us down with the witnesses (of truth). Surah maida 5:83
Conditions of Christians differed with time.
10. Will of Allah is not pretext for disobedience

 Sinner has no plea for his sin blaming on Mashiyyah of Allah as pretext.
 Allah gave him intellect, prepared him for guidance, sent messengers to him, nullified for
him usage of such please y sending messengers
Nisaa 4;165

165. (We sent) messengers as the givers of good news and as warners, so that people should
not have a plea against Allah after the (coming of) messengers; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
a) Sinner chooses for himself many things and does not use pre –decree of Allah as pretext,
but blames predecree of Allah when it comes to his sins.
b) Pre-decree of Allah is a hidden secret completely from creation, until it happens. How
can a sinner blame pre decree before sinning . why does he not claim Allah will make his
pious.

149. Say: Then Allah´s is the conclusive argument; so if He please, He would certainly guide you
all.

Argument of the kafirs – futile - they have no knowledge of what Allah had willed with regards
to them.
“Till they taste wrath of Allah” – they taste it when they indulge in sin and wrath of Allah falls of
them

40. If you will not aid him, Allah certainly aided him when those who disbelieved expelled him,
he being the second of the two, when they were both in the cave, when he said to his

strengthened him with hosts which you did not see, and made lowest the word of those who
disbelieved; and the word of Allah, that is the highest; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

excessive questions; : “do you put questions to your messenger as Moosa people asked their
messenger ?”
Rasool is added y to us “ 5 :15

Christians hears about me, but does not affirm his belief in that with which I have been sent and
dies in this state (of disbelief), he shall be but one of the denizens of Hell-Fire.

Shaddad bin Aws narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said:
"The clever person ids the one who subjugates his soul, and works for what is after death. And
the incapable is the one who follows his desires and merely hopes in Allah." Jami Tirmidhi,
Da'if (Darussalam) Vol. 4, Book 11, Hadith 2459
Weak hadith , meaning is correct insights one to have visionary thinking and not wishful
thinking
4. wishful thinking is resemblance to Jews and Christians
5. Justice of Allah in addressing Slaves ‫قؤل نهانتواا نبؤرشنهنننك ؤم‬
