What is shirk (شرک کیا ہے) ??

[Cheeko]

Re: How we can claim Sahih Bkhari and Sahih Muslim are the two most Authentic Books of Hadeth?

Brothers let me deal with this distraction first. I will Insha-Allah come back to the topic.



Cheeko, I know you are trying to deviate from the topic to avoid answering the questions I raised in my earlier post. Anyway here is the answer to your question:

Imam al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) died in 256 AH, i.e., 245 years after the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, not as your Shi’i friend claims. But these people are natural liars so this claim comes as no surprise. That does not mean that al-Bukhaari could have narrated directly from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him); this is not what is meant at all. Rather we mention this here for the purpose of making things clear.


But how can we depend upon Saheeh al-Bukhaari when al-Bukhaari never met the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in person?
The answer is that in his Saheeh, al-Bukhaari did not narrate anything directly from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), rather he narrated from trustworthy shaykhs, who attained the highest degree of memorization, precision and trustworthiness, who in turn had narrated from equally reliable shaykhs, all the way back to the Sahaabah who narrated from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The smallest number of narrators between al-Bukhaari and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is three. So we rely upon Saheeh al-Bukhaari because he chose the narrators from whom he transmitted hadeeth with the utmost care, and they are the most trustworthy. Moreover, he would not write down any hadeeth in his Saheeh until he had done ghusl, then prayed two rak’ahs and prayed istikhaarah, asking Allaah to guide him with regard to writing down this hadeeth; then he would write it down. It took him sixteen years to write this book, which the ummah accepted and unanimously agreed that what is narrated in it is saheeh; and Allaah has protected this ummah from agreeing upon misguidance.


Imam al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his introduction to Sharh Muslim (1/14): “The scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them) are agreed that the most sound of books after the Qur’aan are the two Saheehs of al-Bukhaari and Muslim, which were accepted by the ummah. The book of al-Bukhaari is the more sound and the more beneficial of the two.” And Allaah knows best. source: http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/20153/

According to the scholar , these types of questions are raised by Raafidi (Shi’i), which is simply the first step in attacking the Sunnah which demonstrates that their madhhab is false and their beliefs are corrupt. They cannot help but try to stir up trouble with these misguided notions. But they can never succeed, for the truth is clear and falsehood is confused.

Now answer my listed below question and do not try to run away by deviating from the topic.




Could you answer my following questions?:

1. "What is the relevancy of your quoted Hadeeth to support your argument to justify the concept of "wajad" in your sufi cult". Now, do not talk about singing as we will debate later. So that you may not try mix two issue and try to seek a hide out.

2. The concept of "wajad" is the basis of your sufi cult. Why could not you find any authentic Hadith in Sahih Muslim or Sahih Bukhari to justify your major believe of sufu cult?

3. Even your quoted Hadith does not support the concept of "wajad" in sufi cult. Can you show me any video where your peer (dead or alive) entered into the stage of "wajad" while narating a hadith?

3. Are you trying to say that it was only Abu Huraira (RA) was the narrator of hadth who went into "wajad" while narrating a hadith and that no other Sahaba (RA) reached to that excellent to attain the stage of "wajad". If there were other sahaba (RA). Could you please provide any hadith from sahih satta where any other Sahaba (RA) had attain the stage of "wajad" while narrating a hadith.

4. According to your hadeeth " narrated to me in this house, there being no one else with us, only I and he." Why prophet Muhammad pbuh chose to talk to Abu haraira (RA) about this very important matter secretly.

5. Why are you hiding the fact that this hadith is classifed "hasan ghareeb" by imam tirmidhi (“Hasan Ghareeb” is weaker than the one about which he says “Hasan”).

6. Why you quoted half version of your “Hasan Ghareeb” Hadith: The full version is as follows:

Shufayya Asbahi narrated: I entered Madinah and came upon a man around whom
people had gathered. I asked, “Who is he?” They said, “Abu Hurayrah (R.A)“ So, I went near him till I sat down opposite him while he was narrating hadith to the people. When he paused and was alone I said to him, “I ask you by Truth, by Allah, narrate to me a hadith that you may have heard from Allah’s Messenger (SAW), understood it and remembered it.” He said, “ I will do that, narrate to you a hadith that Allah’s Messenger narrated to me and I understood it and I remember it” Then he shrieked and fell unconscious and revived after a while and repeated, “Surely, I will narrate to you a hadith that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) narrated to me in this house, there being no one else with us, only I and he.” Then, Abu Hurayrah shrieked loudly and fell unconscious.
He recovered shortly, wired his face and said, “I will do it. Surely I will narrate to you a hadith that Allah’s Messenger narrated to me I and he were in this house, there being no one else with us, besides me and him.” Then he shrieked loudly and fell unconscious and, as he was falling done on his face, I supported him for a long time. Then he regained consciousness and said, “Allah’s Messenger (SAW) narrated to me that on the Day of Resurrection, Allah the Exalted, will come down to the worshippers to judge between them and all the ummahs will kneel down. The first of those who are summoned will be a man who had memorised the Qur’an, a man who was slain in Allah’s path and a man who had much wealth Allah will say to the reciter of the Quran, ‘Did I not teach you what I had revealed to My Messenger?’ He would answer, ‘Certainly, O my Lord! He would ask, ‘So what did you do with what you had learnt?’. He would say, ‘I stood up with it in the night and during day in prayer Allah will say to him, ‘You lie,’ and the angels will say to him, ‘You have lied’. Allah will say to him, ‘Rather, you hoped to be cited as a reciter and that has been done’. The man of wealth will be presented next and Allah will say ‘Did I not give you plenty so that you may not depend on anyone?’. He would confirm, ‘Certainly, O my Lord!’ He will ask, ‘Then what did you do with that which I gave you?’ He would answer, ‘I joined ties of relationship and gave sadaqah’. Allah will say to him, ‘You lie,’ and the angels will also say, ‘You have lied’. Allah will say, ‘Rather, you loved to be referred to as a philanthropist and that was done’. Then the one who was slain in Allah’s path will be presented and Allah will ask, ‘Why were you killed?’ He will say, ‘you commanded (us) to wage jihad in Your path, so I fought till I was killed’. Allah will say to him ‘You lie,’ and the angels will affirm, ‘You have lied’. And, Allah will say, ‘Rather, you hoped to be called brave and that was done’. After that, Allah’s Messenger patted me on my knee and said, ‘O Abu Hurayrah! They are the first three of Allah’s creatures with whom the fire will be kindled on the Day of Resurrection’.

Cheeko Brother, we are not playing who wants to be millionaire. We are talking about religion and within religion we are talking about SHIRK which is worst of all sin and for this sin their is no "Shafaaat" from anybody or forgive by Allah. Everybody is answerable Allah alone for his/ her deeds. Do not worry about your Peer, he will never be their to save you. If you accept that you have lost this debate you will Insha-Allah be winner in the hereafter. There is no right way accept the path of Quraan and Sunnah directly not filtered through Peer-o-Murshid.

(Cheeko, the above paragraph is my wording which I posted earlier on this forum. Please do not copy and paste my wording to show as if it yours.)

Although you fail to give a complete answer but I will give you some grace marks and carry the debate further.

You are quoting Imam Nawawi. Thus it means if he is the person to tell us that those two books are more sahih or authentic than the rest of the books then he is also the same person who also confirms that the Hadees of Musnad Ahmed and other several hadees books about raqs of sahabas or going into ecstacy are sahih and that is why I supported it with so many references including Imam Nawawi.

The hadees experts of those days who classified Bukhari and Muslim as Sahih have also classified the hadees of other books other than sahai sitta as sahih or zaeef. The reason for classifying Bukhari and Muslim as more authentic was because they contained more number [quantity] of sahih hadees than other books as per their opinion. But they also classified the hadees found in other books and so for Islamic debates the sahih or authentic hadees are quoted as reference [regardless of from which hadees book] and it is not in any way wrong. The najdis and modernists have a problem with this but it is their problem and not mine. Therefore your aspersion and insistence of finding sahih hadees only from Bukhari and Muslim only shows that you dont even have the basic knowledge of the study and authentification of hadees. Study of Hadees my brother is a science itself and Muhaddis are the people who have expertise in this alone. So anything which an Aulia Allah did is as per Quran and Sunnah and Hadees. These people only preached Quran and Hadees and that is why for centuries the muslims of the world were following Quran and Hadees and not because of the Najdis.

Just for your information the original name of Sahih Bukhari kept by Imam Bukhari r.a was al-Jaami’ al-Sahih al-Musnad al-Mukhtasar min Umur Rasool Allah wa sunanihi wa Ayyamihi and it was changed to Sahih Bukhari by the same later era hadees experts and not by Imam Bukhari r.a


Now focusing back to answer your questions:

Answer to 1 & 5)

The Hadees of Imam Tirmidhi which I quoted about Hazrat Abu Huraira r.a. is a sahih hadees and not hasan gareeb.

Hadees of Hazrat Abu Huraira r.a

This is strictly for wajad purposes that I told and doesnt include music. Wajd or ecstacy or swoon means overpowering emotion characterized by loss of self-control and sometimes a of temporary loss consciousness and therefore in that state one can lose his control and also go into a state of shock called psychogenic shock and become unconsciousness. Now in the event told in the Hadees it is clear that one person asks Hazrat Abu Huraira about a Hadees. Hazrat Abu Huraira r.a before telling the Hadees fell unconscious three times because of the intensity of his emotions that he had because of two reasons:

a] This was one of the Hadees that he had heard directly from the Last Messenger peace be upon him. The person asking specifically asked him this question and why not anyone would feel intensely joyous or emotional by telling any Hadees that one learned directly from him.

b] But most importantly in this Hadees it is told that Allah the exalted will come down himself on Qayamat which itself for a slave of Allah is a very joyous and emotional thing because on that day one will be in a very close company of Allah. Also the fear of that day for every believer is itself an emotional feeling.

Only if you would have attained some scientific education then would have you understood the simple reason why Hazrat Abu Huraira r.a fell unconscious temporarily three times. It was because of the intensity of the emotions and this is in other words called ecstacy or wajd.

There are various sahih hadees in other books about swoon. The next Hadees is sahih and confirmed by various hadees experts and it is in many hadees books quoted with various and different authentic narrators which strengthens its value.

Abu Saeed Khudri r.a narrates that the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him said Remember Allah (SWT) so much that people start saying that he has gone mad.

Intensity of emotions or swoon or ecstacy is not a new phenomena in the Hadees. Going into swoon is also there in Quran but you dont want to read it.

Yusuf Ali: When Moses came to the place appointed by Us, and his Lord addressed him, He said: "O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me, that I may look upon thee." Allah said: "By no means canst thou see Me (direct); But look upon the mount; if it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me." When his Lord manifested His glory on the Mount, He made it as dust. And Moses fell down in a swoon. When he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to Thee! to Thee I turn in repentance, and I am the first to believe." [7:143]

Shakir: And when Musa came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said: My Lord! show me (Thyself), so that I may look upon Thee. He said: You cannot (bear to) see Me but look at the mountain, if it remains firm in its place, then will you see Me; but when his Lord manifested His glory to the mountain He made it crumble and Musa fell down in a swoon; then when he recovered, he said: Glory be to Thee, I turn to Thee, and I am the first of the believers [7:143]

Hadees
Narrated Abu Said: The Prophet said, 'People will be struck unconscious on the Day of Resurrection and I will be the first to regain consciousness, and behold! There I will see Moses holding one of the pillars of Allah's Throne. I will wonder whether he has become conscious before me of he has been exempted, because of his unconsciousness at the Tur (mountain) which he received (on the earth)." [Sahih Bukhari chapter 55 number 610]





Emotional involvement while remembering Allah and becoming very joyous or fearul is not shirk

"The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur'an) are recited unto them, they increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone)." [Al-Anfaal (8):2]


Shivering of the skin when reciting or hearing Quran being recited is not shirk. How many times has your skin shivered with fear and I am talking about your skin and not the fear in heart. You might say never or once or twice and many people never had that experience so how do you expect each and every sahaba to have the same reaction and going into ecstasy or their skins shiver.

Allah sent to us the Qur'an and "the skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (when they recite it or hear it).
Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allah." [39:23]


Can you show me any Hadees from Bukhari and Muslim where the skins of all the Sahabas shivered with fear? I am not telling that they didnt fear Allah but answering to that question of yours in which you foolishly asked in one of your posts that why only Hazrat Abu Huraira r.a. fell unconsciousness due to swoon or ecstasy. These things are difficult for you to understand as your religous teacher doesnt has the calibre to grasp these various phenomenons. He thinks that every person reacts the same and has a similar psychology whereas science tells that different people react differently to different situations and scenarios. So it isnt necessary for every person to go into wajd. Even in gatherings of zikr you wont see everyone going into wajd or ecstacy and becoming unconscious. Most of the people dont become unconscious and only a few.



Answer to 2 & 3)

It is not necessary that I find everything in Sahih Bukhari or Sahih Muslim because I already know that going into swoon is a psychogenic emotional phenomenon already mentioned in Quran. There are many things which you wont find in Sahih Bukhari. The word Mahdi for Imam Mahdi is not to be found in Sahih Bukhari according to my limited knowledge. Do show me if you find the word Mahdi.

There are many concepts present in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim related to Islam which Sahabas did and are followed by other Aulia Allah also:-

a] Loud Dhikr in gatherings in circles

b] 46th part of prophecy via dreams

c] Relation with Last Messenger peace be upon him via dreams

d] Tabarruk or blessings from His [peace be upon him] hair and other belongings

e] Intercession and we do get to know that Last Messenger peace be upon him and Aulia Allah will intercede on qayamat for forgiveness of sins. Now because everything is not necessary to find in Sahih Bukhari and Muslim but we know from Quran that Allah does grant the power to intercede in exceptional circumstances. The Ayat for intercession on qayamat is different and the intercession for other occasions are separately told. Intercession for other occasions is also allowed and the details can be found in other hadees which are labelled sahih or authentic by the same hadees experts who say that Bukhari and Muslim are Sahih.


That Day, no intercession will benefit except one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word [20:109]

The other Ayaat dont mention about intercession for qayamat

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great [2:255]

And intercession does not benefit with Him except for one whom He permits. [And those wait] until, when terror is removed from their hearts, they will say [to one another], "What has your Lord said?" They will say, "The truth." And He is the Most High, the Grand [34:23]




f] We also get the indication that music for good purposes on festive occasions is also allowed and the details can be found in other hadees which are labelled sahih or authentic by the same hadees experts who say that Bukhari and Muslim are Sahih.

The integral part of true Islam and what the Aulia Allah have preached is the belief in one Allah and belief in Prophets and Books and Angels and the qayamat and predestination. The five pillars are Tawheed and Salat and Zakat and Saum and Hajj.

The rest of actions are ways to do zikr or remember Allah and his beloved beings and are done when the minimum required actions of Ibadat have been performed and we have free time or on special festive occasions.


Answer to 4)

This one is a very irrelevant question as not related to topic. Focus on the topic. Only if you give me some sane reason for this inquiry then perhaps I can help you.


Answer to 6)

It dooesnt make a difference if I quote half a Hadees to save web space or quote full hadees as long as the theme doesnt change. So again you are asking questions which reveal your intellect and calibre. Only if you give me some sane reason for this inquiry then perhaps I can help you.






Why shouldnt I copy your paragraph? Is this shirk also? Debate with logic rather than acting childishly.

We are not playing who wants to be millionaire. We are talking about religion and within religion we are talking about SHIRK which is worst of all sin. Everybody is answerable Allah alone for his/ her deeds. Do not worry about your religious teacher, he will never be their to save you. If you accept that you have lost this debate you will Insha-Allah be winner in the hereafter. There is no right way accept the path of Quran and Sunnah directly not filtered through your religous teacher.

 

[atensari]

??? ??? ?? ????? ?????? ???? ??? ??

 

[babadeena]

Plz explain what is ibadat ?????????

my post No.312 and Brother Pakistani 1947 also explained in his post. after your post.

 

[babadeena]

Didnt I say much earlier, the Mazar Prasti Group will derail or watered down
the original topic?

 

[babadeena]

First of all

The Hadith I qoute
Almost explain ALL rukun of ISlam

1) Verily the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) addressed us and explained to us all Its aspects and taught us how to observe prayer (properly)

2) When you pray make your rows straight and let anyone amongst you act as your Imim

3) Imam bows before you and raises himself before you

4) Recite the takbir

5) Not of those with whom Thou art angry. nor of those who go astray, say: Amin.

6) And when he (the Imim) recites the takbir, you may also recite the takbir,

7) And when he says: Allah listens to him who praises Him

8) you should say: 0 Allah, our. Lord, to Thee be the praise,

9) and when he (the Imim) recites the takbir and prostrates, you should also recite the takbir and prostrate,

10) and when he (the Imim) sits for Qa'da


And secondly I did not ask you explain How to offer Namaz using one Ayath.
I give you free hand to explain it using any number of Ayath from any number of Sura.
But with only one condition.
That it must be clearly mention that it is part of Namaz.

like If you Bow in namaz and think that it is a part of Namaz then show me where it is in Quran that It is part of Namaz. and at what number we must do it in namaz etc...

So please feel free to use any number of Ayath to explain us the Akhamat-e-Namaz from Quran.

What was the question and what is the answer!!! ??? You please read the question which I asked,
donot. always bring Hadith verses Quran concept. In fact you please seem to be alergic of Quran.

 

[babadeena]

You reject Hadith when some one explain you Quranic Ayath using Hadith.
for example incase of Shifaaat
Allah says Shifaat is possible only With the permission of Allah
then we have Hadith in which Rasool Allah pbuh said that Allah gave this right to him. DID YOU ACCEPT This Hadith OR NOT??

now come to the Namaz point.
1) Why you insist on one Hadith?
2) you said you can give me Ruku,Sajada etc.. from Quran. Go ahead i have given you free hand that you can use any number of Ayath. to show it. but you must show us that Ruku , Sajada are part of Namaz from Quran. also please show us the TARTEEB of all Arakeen-e-Namaz and what to say in which Rukun.
GO AHEAD DO IT. use any number of Ayath. you can use one ayath from a Sura and second from anyother no ristiction on you just one condition. you must tell us that Ruku,sajada are part of Namaz and what is the Tateeb of it. What to say in each rukun
Me Waiting for your answer

Rakoo n sajida and how to stand in prayer:
102. And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them,
let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then
when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped.....
(4:102)
Read original arabic words of the verse. Now still you doubt.

I am not accepting any Hadith, WHICH GOES AGAINST QURAN, be it regarding
intercession or anything. For me Quran's authority is over all such things.
I am very clear on that.

No more on Namaz on this thread. Read yourself Quran, that is important. If you
wish to discuss only Shirk. welcome.

 

[Mughal1]

Didnt I say much earlier, the Mazar Prasti Group will derail or watered down
the original topic?

Dear friends, here is another point that arose in mind just after reading back some posts of yours.

This is a proof that arkane slah when done in front of others than god are fine so long as they are done without intention of worship of others.

When we make lines and perform slah with jamaah, we stand behind each other and do all things in namaaz for allah ie we qayaam=stand behind each other, we make rakoo behind each other and we make sajdas behind each other. If any of these were shirk then our namaaz bajamaat will be baatil=invalid. Because we stand for towheed to pray allah yet end up committing shirk.

This is final nail in the coffin of wrong definition of shirk. On jummah imaam is facing people during khutba and people keep on performing their prayers facing imaam and complete their fundamentals of prayer eg qayaams, rakoos and sajdas etc. This finally leaves no room for saying that performing a sajda to anyone even without beleif and intention is shirk.

It is nice to see we are moving towards convergence of views may allah bless us all and forgive us our sins and keep up steady on proper islam with imaan.

regards and all the best.

[FONT=&quot][5] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Before them the people of Noah opposed our guidanceand so did other groups after them.

[FONT=&quot][6] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Thus shall the Word of your Lord be proved true against those who oppose his mission; they are the people who will end up in painful suffering.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][7] As to [/FONT][FONT=&quot]those who are charged with responsibility to uphold the sovereignty of Allah in the land and those who serve under that authority in their government, gratefully reflect glory of their Lord in discharging their duty faithfully, for they truly believe in him and they implore his grace for those who also put their faith in his guidance, saying: Our Lord! You embrace all things with your mercy and knowledge. Grace those who turn to your guidance and follow Your Way, and save them from the disgrace of painful suffering.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][8] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O Lord, admit them to the gardens of Eden which You have promised them together with all the righteous among their fathers, their wives and their descendants. You are the All Mighty, All-Wise.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][9] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Deliver them from all that is harmful, for whoever You save from all harms on that Day would surely have earned Your Mercy and that will surely be the highest achievement.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][10] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]On the Day of Judgement [/FONT][FONT=&quot]it will be said to those who oppose his guidance: Allah’s opposition towards you was far greater -during your worldly life when you were called to his guidance but you used to oppose and fight against it - than your opposition to yourselves today.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][11] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They will say: Our Lord! today there is no doubt in our minds that you have put us through state of nonexistence twice and you gave us existence twice. We now admit all our sins but is there any way out of this situation?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][12] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They shall be answered: You are facing this fate[/FONT][FONT=&quot] because when you were asked to believe in Allah, the One and Only God, you did not believe in that truth and argued against it; but when you were asked to commit to polytheism, you just jumped in having no second thoughts.

[FONT=&quot][13] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is He Who shows you His evidences and sends down sustenance from the heavens for you. Yet, none reflects on these signs except those who turn to Him for his guidance. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][15] Unique in glory above all ranks[/FONT][FONT=&quot], the only Sovereign of the universe. The one who sends his revelation by his own will to whomever he chooses as his prophet, so that his messenger may warn mankind of the day when they shall meet Him.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][16] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The Day when they all shall come forth from their graves with nothing hidden from Allah. It will be asked: Whose is the Kingdom today? No one shall dare to speak, and Allah Himself will say: It is Allah’s, the One, the Irresistible.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][17] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Today every soul shall be rewarded for whatever it has earned; today there shall be no[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]injustice; surely Allah is swift in settling accounts.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][18] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O Prophet, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]warn them of the Day that is drawing near, when the hearts will leap up to the throats with grief; when the wrongdoers will have neither friend nor intercessor who could be given heed to.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][19] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Allah knows the furtive looks and the secret thoughts,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][20] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and Allah will judge with all fairness. As for those whom the polytheists invoke besides Him, will not be in a position to judge at all. Surely it is Allah Alone Who Hears all and Sees all.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][21] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Have they not travelled through the land and seen what was the end of those whohave gone before them? They were far greater in power than these and left greattraces in the land: but Allah seized them for their sins and there was none to protectthem from Allah.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][22] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]That was because there came to them their Messengers with clear revelations and they denied them and fought against them: so Allah seized them. Mighty is He indeed and stern is His retribution.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][23] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Indeed We sent Moses with Our signs and a clear authority,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][24] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]to Pharaoh, Haman and Qarun (Korah); but they called him a conspirator.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][25] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Then, when he laid before them the truth from Us, they said: Kill the sons of those who share his faith and spare only their females. But futile were the schemes of the opposers of our guidance.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][26] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Finally [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Pharaoh said: Let me kill Moses; and let him invoke his Lord! I fear that hemay change your religion or that he may cause civil war in the land.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][27] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Moses said: I have indeed taken refuge in my Lord and your Lord from everyarrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][28] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]At this, a believer from among the relatives of Pharaoh, who had kept his faith hidden, said: Will you kill a man merely because he says: My Lord is Allah, especially when he has brought you clear signs from your Lord? If he is lying, may his lie be on his head; but if he is speaking the truth, then some of the dreadful things he is threatening you with may very well fall on you. Surely Allah does not guide the one who is liar and does harm to others.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][29] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O my people! You are the rulers and are dominant in the land today: but who will help us against the forecast of Allah, should it befall us? Pharaoh said: I am pointing out to you only what I see and I am guiding you only towards the way that is right.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][30] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Then the person who was a true believer said: O my people! In fact I fear for you the day of disaster like of what befell prior people,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][31] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]such as the people of Noah, `Ad and Thamud and those who came after them, and Allah does not intend to wrong His servants.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][32] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And O my People! I fear for you the Day of wailing,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][33] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]when you will turn your backs and flee, when there will be none to protect you from Allah. The one whom Allah lets go astray, shall have none to guide him.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][34] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do you remember that a long time before this, Joseph came to you with clear signs, but you ever remained in doubt concerning to what he brought; and when he died you said: After him, Allah will never send another Messenger. Thus Allah confounds the ones who are the doubtful and aggressors against his will in his kingdom,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][35] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]who dispute the revelations of Allah having no authority vouchsafed to them. Such an[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]attitude is disgusting in the sight of Allah and of the believers. Thus Allah seals up the heart of every arrogant aggressor.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][36] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]After hearing this, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Pharaoh said: O Haman! Build me a grand palace that I may demonstrate my power and means available to me,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][37] The ways and means of the heavens[/FONT][FONT=&quot], so that I may show that God of Moses is not real, I am convinced that he is lying. Thus to Pharaoh appeared his harmful acts as great works, for he turned away from the way that was Right. The schemes of Pharaoh led him nowhere but to destruction.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][38] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The man who was a true believer, said: O my people! Follow me, I shall guide you to[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the Right Way.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][39] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O my people! The life of this world is only temporary enjoyment, while the abode of hereafter is everlasting.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][40] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The one who does evil shall be recompensed to the extent of the evil done; and the one who is a believer and strives to do good for others, whether man or woman, shall enter the paradise and therein receive sustenance without measure.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][41] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And O my people! How is it that I call you to salvation, while you call me to the fire?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][42] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]You bid me to deny Allah and worship other gods I know nothing of; while I bid you to worship the AlMighty, Full of grace.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][43] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]No doubt you call me towards those who can be invoked neither in this world nor in the hereafter. In fact, we all have to turn to Allah for guidance and the aggressors are the ones who shall go to hell.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][44] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So bear in mind what I have told you, I am entrusting my affairs to Allah, surely Allah is ever watchful over His servants.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][45] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So Allah saved that believer from all those evil plots that the people devised against him, and the people of Pharaoh were overtaken by a horrible suffering.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][46] The agony they were warned about day and night[/FONT][FONT=&quot], and on the Day when the time of their Judgment will come, it will be commanded: Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][47] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Then imagine that time [/FONT][FONT=&quot]when these people will start arguing with each other in the fire, and the weak followers will say to the arrogant leaders: We were your followers: can you now save us from some of these flames?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][48] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The arrogant leaders will reply: We are all in it together! Allah has already judged[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]between His human creatures.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][49] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Also imagine [/FONT][FONT=&quot]when the dwellers of fire will ask the Keepers of hell: Pray to your Lord for relieving our punishment at least for one day![/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][50] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The Keepers of hell [/FONT][FONT=&quot]will ask: Did there not come to you Messengers with clear revelations? Yes, they will answer. The Keepers of hell will say: Then pray yourselves. But vain shall be the prayer of those who believed not in guidance of Allah.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][51] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We surely will help Our Messengers and the believers both in this world’s life and on[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the Day when the witnesses will take a stand to testify.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][52] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]On that Day, no excuses shall avail those who would have done wrong to each other. Disgrace shall be their lot and the worst place will be their home to abide in.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][53] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]As you can see We gave Moses the Book of guidance and We made the Children of Israel to inherit that Book,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][54] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]which was a guide and a reminder to the people of understanding.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][55] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So be patient, the promise of Allah is true and seek solution for any of your problems with your mission and gratefully proclaim glory of your Lord evening and morning.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][56] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Those who fight against the revelations of Allah without having any solid foundation or authority on them; they nurture in their hearts arrogance based wicked ambitions which they shall never attain. Therefore, seek refuge with Allah; It is He Who hears all and sees all.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][57] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Certainly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater task than the creation of mankind; yet most of the people do not bother to understand.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][58] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The blind and those who can see are not alike, nor are the believers who do good for others equal to those who inflict evil on others; yet you seldom think.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][59] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The hour of Doom is sure to come, there is no doubt about it; yet most of the people do not believe it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][60] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And your Lord says: Call on Me, I will answer your prayers. Surely those who are too arrogant to worship Me shall soon enter hell in humiliation.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][61] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is Allah Who has made for you the night to rest in and the day to see your wayaround. Surely Allah is bountiful to mankind, yet most of the people are notthankful.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][62] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Such is Allah your Lord, the Creator of all things. There is no god but Him. None has the right to be worshipped except Him, so how are you being deluded?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][63] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Thus were deluded those who denied the revelations of Allah.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][64] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is Allah Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the heaven a canopy. He has moulded your bodies and moulded them well, and has provided you with good things. Such is Allah your Lord. So glory be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][65] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]He is the Ever-Living. There is no god but Him. Therefore call upon Him with your sincere devotion. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the nations.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][66] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O Prophet[/FONT][FONT=&quot], tell them: I have been forbidden to invoke those whom you invoke besides Allah. How can I do this when clear revelations have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to submit myself to the Lord of the nations.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][67] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is He Who evolved you from the earth, then from a sperm and an ovum, then from an embryo, then He delivers you from the womb of your mother as a child, then He makes you grow to reach the age of full strength, then He makes you grow to reach an old age - though some of you die earlier - so that you may complete your appointed term and grow in wisdom.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][68] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is He Who gives you life and causes you to die. It is He Who when He decides to do[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]something, needs only to initiate the process and it is.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][69] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do you not see how those who argue against the revelations of Allah turn away from[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the Right Way[/FONT][FONT=&quot]?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][70] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Those who have denied the Book and the Message which We have sent through Our Messengers shall soon come to know the truth when they will be cast into the fire of hell:[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][71] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]when, with yokes and chains around their necks, they shall be dragged[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][72] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]through scalding fluid and burned in the fire of hell.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][73] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Then they shall be asked: Where are those gods whom you used to invoke in worship[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][74] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]besides Allah? They will answer: They have forsaken us, now we have come toknow that those whom we used to invoke, were in fact nothing. Thus Allahconfounds those who refuse to believe in his guidance.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][75] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It will be said: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]You have met this fate because during your life on earth, you took delight in things that were opposite of right and you led a wanton life.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][76] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Now enter the gates of hell to live therein forever. What an evil abode will be for the arrogant![/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][77] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So be patient, O Prophet, Allah’s promise is true. Whether We let you witness the evil consequences with which they are being threatened, or We recall you before We smite them, in any case, they shall all return to Us.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][78] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O Prophet, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We have sent many Messengers before you; of them there are some whose stories We have relayed to you and others whose stories We have not relayed to you. It was not possible for any of those Messengers to bring any sign except by the leave of Allah. Then when the command of Allah came, the matter was decided with justice, and it was the wrongdoers who suffered the loss.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][79] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is Allah Who has provided you with cattle, that you may use some for riding and[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]some for food;[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][80] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and there are also other advantages in them for you; they take you where you wish to go carrying you on their backs as ships carry you by sea.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][81] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Thus, He shows you His signs; then, which signs of Allah you will deny?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][82] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Have they never travelled through the earth and seen what was the end of those who[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]have gone before them? They were more in number and superior in strength than these and they have left behind great traces of their power in the land; yet all that they did was of no avail to them.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][83] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]When their Messengers came to them with clear revelations, they proudly boasted about their own knowledge; but the very forewarned scourge at which they mocked, hemmed them in.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][84] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]When they saw Our scourge, they cried out: We believe in Allah, the One and Only, and we reject all those gods whom we used to associate with Him.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][85] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]But after seeing Our scourge, their professing of the faith was of no use to them; such was the practice of Allah in dealing with His human creatures in the past, and thus those who opposed our guidance were lost.[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]41 MAKAH HAA-MEEM ASSAJDAH / FUSSILAT 61[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][1][/FONT][FONT=&quot] Haa Meem.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][2] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Revealed by the one full of grace and full of mercy,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][3] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]a Book whose verses are well explained, a Qur’an in Arabic for people to learn and[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]understand.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][4] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]A giver of good news for those who put their faith in it and do good for others and a warner for those who reject and oppose it and inflict harm and destruction on others: yet most of the people ignore it by heeding it not.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][5] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They say: Our mindsets and attitudes are averse to what you are calling us to and there is no chance that we will ever hear what you say because there is an opposition betweenyour way of looking at life and our way of looking at life, you are just as human as we are so what you says is nothing better than what we know ourselves: so you work your way and we keep on working our way.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][6] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O Prophet [/FONT][FONT=&quot]say: It is true that I am as human as you are but I am guided by Allah by way of his revelations and you are not. It is revealed to me that your God is One God,therefore take the Right Way towards Him and implore His grace. So woe to those who take other gods beside Allah;[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][7] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Those who contribute nothing towards establishing an economic system that is good for mankind because they believe not in concept of accountability in here or in hereafter.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][8] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]As for those who believe and do good for others, they will have a never ending reward.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][9] Say, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]are you- by believing things the way you are believing them and by doing things the way you are doing them- not actually denying the existence and sovereignty of the One Who created the earth in two stages? And are you not doing something wrong by setting up other gods beside him while according to him He himself is the only Lord for all the nations?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][10] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Furthermore[/FONT][FONT=&quot]He brought about in the earth the land masses rising above its surface and He bestowed it with abundance of things in set measures in four stages for sustenance of all things in it that need it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][11] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Although when he attended to the cosmos long before all this, it was just a cloud of dust, He made the universe appear in its form and at length made this solar system appear in its form in a like and unlike manner, so they came about consistently and constantly.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][12][/FONT][FONT=&quot] Thus He formed the seven heavens in two stages and made each of the heavens to come to being complete with all its details. Thus He adorned this universe with massive brilliant stars and made it secure against any malfunction. Such is the design of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][13] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Now if they turn away, say to them: I have given you warning of a thunderbolt like revolt, likethe revolt which struck ‘Ad and Thamud.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][14] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]When their Messengers came to them from before and from behind, saying: Believe in none as god but Allah. They replied: If our Lord wanted to send us a message, He would certainly have sent it down to kings and great chiefs not any common man like ourselves, so we deny and oppose the message with which you are sent. It was better if people heard what was said and not who said it, for importance is not of any person but of message as to how good it is for people for whom it is sent. This is what respect for right and wrong and law and order is all about.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][15] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]As for Ad, they conducted themselves with arrogance in the land against what was right and said: Who is stronger than us in might? They believed in concept of might is right but could they not see that Allah Who created them was mightier than them yet he does not use his might to prove himself right, for he uses evidences to prove his point and to make people learn what is right that way? Yet they continued to reject and oppose Our revelations.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][16] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So, over a few ill-omened days, We let loose on their ruling elite a furious hurricane of angry people in form of revolt to make them taste a shameful scourge in this life, but more shameful still will be the punishment of the hereafter, and they shall have none to help them.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][17] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]As for Thamud, We offer them Our guidance, but they preferred to remain blind rather than to receive guidance towards the Right Way; so the thunderbolt of humiliating scourge in form of revolt by their angry victims seized their ruling elite for their misdeeds,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][18] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]but We saved those who believed in our guidance and were mindful of it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][19] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Imagine [/FONT][FONT=&quot]that Day when the enemies of guidance of Allah will be brought together and led to thehellfire in groups.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][20] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Finally when they reach there, their ears, their eyes, and their skins will give clues to their misdeeds.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][21] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And they will wonder, how their skins show evidence against them. They will be made to realise that Allah Who gives the faculty of speech to everything that can speak, has also made these things capable to bear evidence. He is the One Who created you to begin with, and now to Him you are being brought back. This is why all forms of evidences are fine for purpose of proving the truth and falsehood or any case regarding law and order so long as the evidence is beyond any reasonable doubt.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][22] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]During your life on earth [/FONT][FONT=&quot]you use to hide yourselves while committing crimes, you never thought that your own ears, your own eyes and your own skins would ever testify against you. Rather you thought that even Allah had no knowledge of many things that you do.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][23] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]This thought of yours, which you entertained concerning your Lord, has brought you to destruction and now you have become of those who are utterly lost.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][24] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Now regardless they have patience or not, the fire will still be their home, and even if they beg for pardon, it shall not be granted to them.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][25] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We let people have like minded intimate friends they choose for themselves but for those who end up choosing such friends who make their past and present wrong doings seem good to them; Our forecast proves true concerning them as it did regardinggenerations of the ruling elite and the people who were their subjects who have gone before them, that they shall surely be inloss if they do not follow our guidance.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][26] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The chiefs of opposers of our guidance say to their people, do not let this Qur’an reach to the masses when it is proclaimed and organise campaign against it so that you could overcome its message and people who preach it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][27] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We will certainly punish these opposers of our guidance and requite them for the worst of their misdeeds.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][28] They will end up in [/FONT][FONT=&quot]agony that is, the reward for such enemies of guidance of Allah, in which they will remain for as long as they live: a reward for their denying and opposing Our revelations.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][29] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Wherein some of these opposers will say: Our Lord! Show us those among our ruling elite and their followers who misled us: we shall trample them under our feet so that they[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]become utterly disgraced.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][30] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]As for those who say, our God is Allah, and then stay firm on it, the righteous come to them for encouragement and support, saying: Let nothing worry or grieve you. Rejoice for the good news of paradise that has been promised to you.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][31] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We are your supporters in this life and in hereafter. There you shall find all that your mind would desire and all that you can ask for:[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][32] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]A hospitable gift from the one full of grace and full of compassion.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][33] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Who is better in speech than the one who calls people towards guidance of Allah and does good for others and says, I believe in a way of life that leads to peace and security in here and in hereafter?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][34] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Good deeds are not equal to the evil ones that people do to each other. So repel other’s evil deeds with your good deeds. You should see that this way he who takes you for an enemy could become your close friend.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][35] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]But none will attain this quality except those who patiently endure and none will attain this quality except those who are truly fortunate.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][36] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]If any time you are tempted by the wicked to harm others, seek refuge in guidance of Allah. It is He Who hears all and knows all.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][37] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Among His signs are the night and the day and the sun and moon. Do not submit yourselves to the sun or the moon as your gods; rather submit yourselves to Allah alone as your God, Who created them both, if you truly wish to be faithful.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][38] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Yet if they dislike putting their faith in Allah alone as their God, let them remember that people who are linked to your Lord faithfully, glorify Him day and night and never think of themselves as above the need of his guidance.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][39] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And among His other signs is the earth that you see barren; but when We send down rain upon it, it stirs to life and its yield increases. Surely He Who gives it life, will raise the dead to life. Surely He has power over all things.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][40] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Those who pervert Our revelations are not hidden from Us. Just consider who is better? The one who ends up in agony by ignoring our guidance or the one who emerges safe on an appointed day because he followed our guidance? Do as you like, surely He is watching all that you do.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][41] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Those who reject and oppose this guidance when it comes to them should know that in fact it is a mighty Book.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][42] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]No falsehood can destroy it from the past or from the future. It is a revelation from the One Who is Wise and Praiseworthy.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][43] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Nothing is said to you (O Muhammad) that was not said to the Messengers before you: the fact is, your Lord is the Lord of forgiveness, as well as Lord of painful retribution.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][44] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Had We revealed this Qur’an to you in a foreign language, they (same people) would have said: Why have not its verses been made clear in our own language? Why it is in a foreign language, while its close by first audience are Arabs? Say O Muhammad, a guidance is a guidance and the language matters not so long as the message is clear for people to put their faith in it, so it is a guidance and a remedy for their daily problems for those who put their faith in its message and establish its order by way of putting its systems and structures and practices in place for the foretold results; as to those who do not put their faith in it, it is their mindset and attitude that makes them deaf to its message and their blindness to it is upon themselves; for they act as though they are being called from a far-off place.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][45] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Before this Qur’an, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We gave a Book to Moses and it was fought against likewise. If your Lord had not already given a word, the Judgment would have been passed between the opposers; grave though their suspicions were about it because they failed to see their own benefits in it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][46] The message is clear that [/FONT][FONT=&quot]he who does good for others, does it for the good of himself because rest of the people are his own relatives and his own society and his own human family; Therefore he who inflicts harm on others does so to himself because where is sense in harming your own relatives, your own society and your own human family? How can one feel glad after inflicting harm on any of these other people? So your Lord is never unjust to His people but it is people who do wrong to each other out of their stupidity and therefore the need for them to learn how to live with each other and therefore Allah gives them his guidance. If they do not put faith in his guidance and live as told then pain and suffering is inevitable.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][47] But [/FONT][FONT=&quot]He Alone has the knowledge of the Hour of Doom. No fruit comes out of its sheath,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]nor does a female conceive, nor she gives birth but with His knowledge. On the Day of Judgment when Allah will ask those who oppose his guidance: Where are those partners that you associated with Me? They will answer: We confess that none of us can vouch for[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]them.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][48] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Those deities whom they used to invoke will vanish from them and they shall realize that there is no escape.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][49] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Man is never tired of praying for good, but when any evil befalls him, he loses hope and is in despair.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][50] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And if, after affliction, We vouchsafe him a favour from Ourself, he is sure to say: I deserve this, I do not think that the Hour will ever come; and even if I am brought back to my Lord, I would still get good treatment from Him. The fact, however, is that We shall tell the[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]opposers of our guidance the truth of all that they had done and We shall make them taste a[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]severe punishment.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][51] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]When We bestow favours on man, he turns away and drifts off to another side; and when an evil befalls him, he comes with lengthy supplications.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][52] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O Prophet, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]ask them: Have you ever considered: if this Qur’an is really from Allah[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and you deny it, who can be more astray than you who have gone too far in defying[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Him?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][53] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Soon shall We show them Our signs in the universe and in their own persons until it becomes clear to them that this Qur’an is indeed the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is a witness over everything?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][54] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Still they are in doubt about meeting their Lord! Yet it is He Who encompasses everything[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

 

[Abdul Allah]

What was the question and what is the answer!!! ??? You please read the question which I asked,
donot. always bring Hadith verses Quran concept. In fact you please seem to be alergic of Quran.

No It is not
We Understand Quran using Hadith.
as Muhammad pbuh is the greatest Alim of quran not you or me isnt it??

 

[Abdul Allah]

Rakoo n sajida and how to stand in prayer:
102. And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them,
let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then
when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped.....
(4:102)
Read original arabic words of the verse. Now still you doubt.

I am not accepting any Hadith, WHICH GOES AGAINST QURAN, be it regarding
intercession or anything. For me Quran's authority is over all such things.
I am very clear on that.

No more on Namaz on this thread. Read yourself Quran, that is important. If you
wish to discuss only Shirk. welcome.

You did not give a Complete answer yet
might be you are still searching for it??
The ayat only confirm one thing that Sajada is the part of Quran.
Where is the rest of Arakeen what is tharteeb?? and what to read in every Rukun

The Hadith i qoute about Intercession is EXACTLY according to Quran.
Quran says ILA BAYIZN ILLAH
And Hadith said that No one was given right BY ALLAH before Muhammad pbuh

So please either Except the or reject it with solid arguments
Note : answer of Namaz is still pending on you.

about the shirk i have MANY TIME repeat a post but you did not answer it. unless you answer it will not post anything else.

 

[babadeena]

Dear friends, here is another point that arose in mind just after reading back some posts of yours.

This is a proof that arkane slah when done in front of others than god are fine so long as they are done without intention of worship of others.

When we make lines and perform slah with jamaah, we stand behind each other and do all things in namaaz for allah ie we qayaam=stand behind each other, we make rakoo behind each other and we make sajdas behind each other. If any of these were shirk then our namaaz bajamaat will be baatil=invalid. Because we stand for towheed to pray allah yet end up committing shirk.

This is final nail in the coffin of wrong definition of shirk. On jummah imaam is facing people during khutba and people keep on performing their prayers facing imaam and complete their fundamentals of prayer eg qayaams, rakoos and sajdas etc. This finally leaves no room for saying that performing a sajda to anyone even without beleif and intention is shirk.
It is nice to see we are moving towards convergence of views may allah bless us all and forgive us our sins and keep up steady on proper islam with imaan.
regards and all the best.

Folk! Book mark this post and the highlighted portion. After 22 page of discussion, this is the way
the shirk is being defined and exampled. What these 22 pages proved:
a) Twisting of Quran's verses to justify the shirk and ignoring the clear cut verse.
b) side tracking the thread with Salaat; intercession; and whatever;
c) Pasting kilometers long posts again and again;

This last post of Mughal1 left no margin of doubt at all about how in their
perspective Shrik is? Look the Example of performing Salaat;

all the best.

 

[babadeena]

You did not give a Complete answer yet
might be you are still searching for it??
The ayat only confirm one thing that Sajada is the part of Quran.
Where is the rest of Arakeen what is tharteeb?? and what to read in every Rukun

The Hadith i qoute about Intercession is EXACTLY according to Quran.
Quran says ILA BAYIZN ILLAH
And Hadith said that No one was given right BY ALLAH before Muhammad pbuh

So please either Except the or reject it with solid arguments
Note : answer of Namaz is still pending on you.

about the shirk i have MANY TIME repeat a post but you did not answer it. unless you answer it will not post anything else.

You r type of people or from that Group of people who wish to "justify their pre-determined creed/concept/way"
with the help of Hadiths, whose authenticity when checked with Quran leaves much to be desired.
IF QURAN CLEARLY SAYS THAT THERE WILL BE NO INTERCESSION. NOONE HAS THE POWER
TO CHANGE THOSE WORDS OF ALLAH, Hadith or whatsoever.

IF QURAN CLEARLY SAYS THAT THERE WILL BE NO INTERCESSION. NOONE HAS THE POWER
TO CHANGE THOSE WORDS OF ALLAH, Hadith or whatsoever.

Misleading translations and interpretations of Quran is equivalent to blasphemy in my opinion. You are on of them who likes to twist the clear cut Divine Words. STOP LYING.

Any man knows the meaning of intercession


Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great [2:255]


Notice the word "except" in the above mentioned verse. This verse does not condemn the presence of an intercessor; they just put a condition for the fact of intercession.


That Day, no intercession will benefit except one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word [20:109]

And intercession does not benefit with Him except for one whom He permits. [And those wait] until, when terror is removed from their hearts, they will say [to one another], "What has your Lord said?" They will say, "The truth." And He is the Most High, the Grand [34:23]


And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except after Allah has permitted to whom He wills and approves [53:26]


He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him with whom He is pleased. And they stand in awe for fear of Him [21:28]


And those whom they invoke instead of Him have no power of intercession; except those who bear witness to the truth and they know [43:86]

In the Ayaat where the word waseela is used

O you who have believed, fear Allah and seek the means of approach (waseela) to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed [5:35]


In 17:56 it tells that do not do waseela to people whom you take as besides Allah and we know that besides Allah is shirk as besides Allah is another god. Read the translation of Pickthall again.

Say: Cry unto those whom ye assume beside Him, yet they have no power to rid you of misfortune nor to change [17:56]


Those whom they invoke seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared [17:57]

I mean to stress on Ayat [5:35] and then tell [17:57] as another Ayat which contains the word waseela. Ayat [17:56] confirms my position that waseela is forbidden from people taken as besides Allah and [5:35] confirms my position that waseela is suggested. One way for waseela is intercession and I already have told the intercession Ayaat.

 

[Pakistani1947]

Re: What is intercession - شفاعت کیا ہے؟

your First point in conclusion is WRONG that "Prophet Muhammad pbuh can not save anyone from Allah's punishment."
Rest are ok.

Now come to your last part of TWO posts.

But first I am waiting for your answer about My post on What is Shirk and what is not. After asking and pointing out yet you did not answer it.

Now about your last part of your post
1) doing Sajada to Qabar is shirk? answer is a BIG YES
2) celebrating URS is SHIRK??? Do you know what Shirk is?? one can say that it is WRONG(sin) but is it a SHIRK. (it is another debate that it is wrong or not)
3) "Chadar poshi" same as above point number 2.
4) doing Dhamal and Rakas is it a Shirk in your eyes?? dont you know difference between a Gunaha(SIN) and Shirk??? (e.g a person drink wine is a SIN or SHIRK apply this to DHAMAL and RAKAS)
5) Asking for something from someone other than Allah is Shirk??
well read my post about Shirk and read the last line. If some one ask for Help from someone having this point in mind that Allah is the one who Allow him to help and without permission of Allah He can not help. IS it a shirk??. You may reject his believe but will you call it shirk???

Think on it please.

Dear Abdul Allhah:

After listing above all of the Quraanic verses showing no shafaaat and showing strictly no shafaaat in general and then shafaaat with His permission. We have agreed that there is shafaaat in some cases with Allah's permission and with condition that no SHIRK was committed by the person.

Lets do the same exercise and let me write down all the Hadiths quoted by you and me in a row:

1. Narrated Abu HuraIra: When Allah revealed the Verse: "Warn your nearest kinsmen," Allah's Apostle got up and said, "O people of Quraish (or saId similar words)! Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the Hellfire) as I cannot save you from Allah's PunIshment; O Bani Abd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment, O Safiya, the Aunt of Allah's Apostle! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O FatIma bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment." (Sahih Bukhari Book #51, Hadith #16)

2. Abu Huraira reported: When (this verse) was revealed to him:" Warn your nearest kinsmen." the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: o people of Quraish, buy yourselves from Allah, I cannot avail you at all against Allah; o sons of Abd al-Muttalib. I cannot avail you at all against Allah; 0 Abbas b. 'Abd al- Muttalib, I cannot avail you at all against Allah; o Safiya (aunt of the Messenger of Allah), I cannot avail you at all against Allah; 0 Fatima, daughter of Muhammad, ask me whatever you like, but I cannot avail you at all against Allah. (Sahih Muslim Book #001, Hadith #0402)

3. Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "(On the Day of Resurrection) camels will come to their owner in the best state of health they have ever had (in the world), and if he had not paid their Zakat (in the world) then they would tread him with their feet; and similarly, sheep will come to their owner in the best state of health they have ever had in the world, and if he had not paid their Zakat, then they would tread him with their hooves and would butt him with their horns." The Prophet added, "One of their rights is that they should be milked while water is kept in front of them." The Prophet added, "I do not want any one of you to come to me on the Day of Resurrection, carrying over his neck a sheep that will be bleating. Such a person will (then) say, 'O Muhammad! (please intercede for me,) I will say to him. 'I can't help you, for I conveyed Allah's Message to you.' Similarly, I do not want any one of you to come to me carrying over his neck a camel that will be grunting. Such a person (then) will say "O Muhammad! (please intercede for me)." I will say to him, "I can't help you for I conveyed Allah's message to you." (Sahih Bukhari Book #24, Hadith #485)

4. Narrated Abu Huraira: I said: "O Allah's Apostle! Who will be theluckiest person, who will gain your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?" Allah's Apostle said: O Abu Huraira! "I have thought that none will ask me about it before you as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah." And 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz wrote to Abu Bakr bin Hazm, "Look for the knowledge of Hadith and get it written, as I am afraid that religious knowledge will vanish and the religious learned men will pass away (die). Do not accept anything save the Hadiths of the Prophet. Circulate knowledge and teach the ignorant, for knowledge does not vanish except when it is kept secretly (to oneself)." (Sahih Bukhari, Book #3, Hadith #98)

5. Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: The Prophet said, "I have been given five things which were not given to any one else before me. 1. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey. 2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform Tayammum, therefore anyone of my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due. 3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me. 4. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection). 5. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind. (Sahih Bukhari, Book #7, Hadith #331)

Conclusions on individual Hadeeths:

1. Prophet Muhammad pbuh can not save anyone from Allah's punishment.
2. Prophet Muhammad pbuh can not save anyone from Allah's punishment against Allah's Will.
3. Prophet Muhammad pbuh will not intercede anyone who did not paid Zakat and who did not fulfilled animals right.
4. Prophet Muhammad pbuh will intercede a luckiest person who did not commit SHIRK.
5. Prophet Muhammad pbuh have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection)

Cumulative conclusion from all five Hadeeths:

Prophet Muhammad pbuh can not save anyone from Allah's punishment against Allah's Will. Prophet Muhammad pbuh have been given the right of intercession (with Allah's permission) to choose a few lucky ones who did not commit SHIRK and who fulfilled the human and animals rights.

Conclusion from all relevant Quraanic verses and Hadeeths can be drawn that Prophet Muhammad pbuh would have conditional permission by Allah to intercede only a few lucky ones who did not commit any SHIRK. Prophet Muhammad pbuh warned their relatives not to involve in SHIRK as in that case he pbuh would not be able to intercede.

That is the reason none of the relative of Prophet Muhammad including Sahaba were involve in Qabar parasti. They did not celebrate any URS (عرس) of Prophet Muhammad. They did not arrange any Qawali function at the grave of Prophet Muhammad and they did not perform any Shytani sufi Raqs and Dhamal (Nauzobillah). They did not go to Prophet Muhammad grave to beg for a child or any help. They never arrange any annual "Chadar Charhigh" (چادر چڑھانا) on the grave of prophet Muhammad. None of the Sahaba were Mujawar (مجاور) or malang (ملنگ) (nauzobilla) at the grave of prophet Muhammad. They never prostrate (سجدہ) to the grave of Prophet Muhammad pbuh. They used to asked Allah directly for any help.

We can only pray for those who in the hope of getting "Safaaat" are doing all kind of SHIRK and biddat. May Allah give them hidayat before they die. (Aameen)

May Allah forgive us for humanly mistakes and keep us on the straight path (Aameen)

(Allah knows better)

Dear Abdul Allah,

Following (First) Hadith which conculdes"Prophet Muhammad can not save anyone from Allah's punishment."


1. Narrated Abu HuraIra: When Allah revealed the Verse: "Warn your nearest kinsmen," Allah's Apostle got up and said, "O people of Quraish (or saId similar words)! Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the Hellfire) as I cannot save you from Allah's PunIshment; O Bani Abd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment, O Safiya, the Aunt of Allah's Apostle! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O FatIma bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment." (Sahih Bukhari Book #51, Hadith #16)

Following (Second) Hadeeth clarifies the first conclusion that " Prophet Muhammad can not save anyone from Allah's punishment against Allah's Will." Note: the wording "against Allah's Will" is taken from the last line of this Hadeeth. Actually last line of this Hadeeth clarify the first Hadeeth.

2. Abu Huraira reported: When (this verse) was revealed to him:" Warn your nearest kinsmen." the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: o people of Quraish, buy yourselves from Allah, I cannot avail you at all against Allah; o sons of Abd al-Muttalib. I cannot avail you at all against Allah; 0 Abbas b. 'Abd al- Muttalib, I cannot avail you at all against Allah; o Safiya (aunt of the Messenger of Allah), I cannot avail you at all against Allah; 0 Fatima, daughter of Muhammad, ask me whatever you like, but I cannot avail you at all against Allah. (Sahih Muslim Book #001, Hadith #0402)

Conclusion: On the day judgment, if Allah orders someone to be punished then no one have the authority to change His decision. Allah is the final authority.

I dont know about Abdul Allah but I have no reservation with your conclusion that Allah is the final authority on Qayamat although me and you perhaps differ in the perception of the details. Our Last Messenger [peace be upon him] wont interceede for those people who would be clearly disliked by the Lord in the first place. Me and you could perhaps differ in the details and categorization of those people though.

I am also of the opinion that Allah would not put down the request of intercession of His most beloved creation known as Muhammed [peace be upon him].

Allah knows best

Dear friend, by now you have completely lost the argument as regard definition of towheed and shirk.

I have proven beyond any reasonable doubt that unforgiveable kind of shirk is not found amongst muslims. No muslim believes in any god other than allah. No muslim believes anyone having any sifat like allah ie if one is not like allah then how can one have any sifat like allah? Not only that since none is believed like allah so none can act like allah either. So where is shirk when muslims do not believe in any other god than allah, nor do they believe anyone has any sifat like allah or has the ability to act like allah? Allah ki zaat azli abdi hai aur us ki tamaam sifaat be azli abdi hen chahai woh sifaate zaatiya hun yaa sifaate fehliya hun. Yunhi allah ke afaal bhi us ke zaati hen yahni us ki ahliyat aur hesiyat ke mutaabiq.

Jahan tak anbiyaa aur aoliyaa ka talluq hai unko allah ki taraf se anpe muqaam ke mutabiq allah ne kuchh ikhtiyaraat diye huwe hen jis bina par woh kuchh aise kaam kar sakte jo aam insaanu ke dairae qudrat se bahir hen.

jese aam admi apni ataa karda taaqat ke mutabiq jo chahe kar sakta hai is mein khuda ki qudrat ki nafi har giz nahin hoti issi tarha ambiyaa ke ataai ikhtiyaraat se khuda ki qudrat aur wahdaniyat par koi harf nahin aata.

Shaitaan ko jo ikhtiyaraat haasil hen khu7da ki taraf se kia usse khuda ki towheed ki nafi ho jaati hai? Har giz nahin.

Rahaa amaal ki shiraakat ka masla to maine samjha diya hai keh mehz kisi amal se shirk mumkin nahin us mein ehtaqaad aur niyat ko bunyaadi hesiyat haasil hai. Yahi waja hai hamari namaaz batil nahin hoti kyukeh ham namaaz allah ke liye padte hen aik doosre ke liye nahin lihaaza kisi cheez ka sajda karte waqt hamre aage hona yaa aana hamari namaaz ko baatil nahin karta.

For example, you start praying and some one places a picture or idol in front of you or may be there is one already there. does that make your nimaaz baatil? No. Likewise kaba is aimed for when doing all this yet nimaaz is not baatil because there are plenty of clean and dirty things in front of you and the kaba you aim for. I mean there are plenty of people and all sorts of things betwen you and kaba. It is because you are doing all for god in your heart so the rest does not matter when it comes to definition of shirk.


As for, your stance on shafaat or intercession. None has the divine ability other than allah but rest is fine if people invovled qualify. This is a matter of aqeeda that allah cannot go back on his word, as a result allah cannot create anyone like muhammad any more because so he promised. Likewise allah has promised that he will not forgive shirk, now he cannot because to do that he will have to go back on his word. Because allah cannot break his promise and he chose to promise so now he is bound by his promise. Likewise allah promised that there will be intercession so there is going to be so. This intercession is not by one god to another on behalf of some people but by approved people for normal muslims for normal sins regardless major or minor but not kufar and shirk.

Because you have confused understanding of towheed and shirk you have turned the rest of aqaaid up side down. I agree with you that wrong things are done in the name of urs, milaad and the like but who is going to educate people if we are not going to discuss things in detail thereby help ourselves and others understand islam better?

regardless all the best dear brother and god bless.

[FONT=&quot]In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][1] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Haa Meem.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][2] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Ain Seen Qaaf.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][3] For the very same purpose[/FONT][FONT=&quot] revelation is sent to you by Allah Almighty, the All-Wise as He sent to those before you.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][4] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. He is uniquely Supreme and uniquely Majestic.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][5] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The heavens work hard to fulfil the responsibility placed upon them and so do the good people gratefully, to establish the sovereignty of their Lord for the good of those in the earth. Behold! Allah is indeed full of grace and full of mercy.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][6] As for [/FONT][FONT=&quot]those who take other gods as their guardians besides Him, Allah Himself is watching them; and O Prophet, you are not the disposer of their affairs so let them do as they please and face the consequences.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][7] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Therefore We have revealed to you this Qur’an in Arabic, so that you may warn the residents of the Mother City (Mecca) and its suburbs, and forewarn them of the Day of assembly about which there is no doubt: when some will go to paradise and others to the blazing fire.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][8] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]If Allah wanted, He could have made all of them a single nation; but He admits to His grace whom He pleases; as for those who do wrong to others, they will have no protector nor helper, for they are enemies of each other so where is any chance for them to have any friend or supporter or helper? If you live by sword you die by sword or you reap what you sow.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][9] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Have they set up other guardians beside Him, while Allah Alone is the Guardian? It is He Who gives life to the dead and it is He Who has power over all things.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][10][/FONT][FONT=&quot]O Prophet, tell them: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Whatever the subject of your fight is, its Judgment belongsto Allah: Such is Allah my Lord, in Him I have put my trust, and to Him I turn for guidance,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][11] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]the Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you mates from among yourselves and also mates among the cattle from their own kind; by this means does He multiply you. There is no one like Him. He Alone hears all and sees all.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][12] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. He gives abundantly to whom He pleases and sparingly to whom He wills. He is the Knower of everything.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][13] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]He has ordained for you the same Deen=way of life which He enjoined on Noah - and which We have revealed to you O Muhammad - and which We enjoined on Abraham and Moses and Jesus: So establish the Deen of Al-Islam=peace and make no division (sects) in it. Intolerable for the polytheists is that to which you call them. Allah chooses for His service whom He wills, and guides to His Way only those who turn to Him for his guidance.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][14] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The people did not become divided into sects until after knowledge had come to them out of envy among themselves. Had your Lord not issued the word to defer their punishment till an appointed time, the matter would have already been settled between them. The fact[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]is that those who were made to inherit the Book after them, are surely in disquieting[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]doubt concerning it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][15] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Therefore, call them to the right way of life andstay firm on the Right Path as you are commanded and do not follow their wicked ambitions. Tell them: I believein whatever Allah has revealed from the Book and I am commanded to do justicebetween you. Allah is Our Lord and your Lord. We are responsible for Our deeds andyou for yours. Let there be no dispute among us. Allah will bring us all together on the Day of Judgment and decide as to who is right and who is wrong, and to Him isthe final return.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][16] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Those who fight concerning Allah after pledging obedience to Him, their dispute is futile in the sight of their Lord, upon them is His disgrace and for them there will be a terrible punishment.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][17] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is Allah Who has revealed this Book for a set purpose of guidance as a yardstick for the mankind to abide by, and what will make you realize that perhaps the hour of doom may be fastapproaching?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][18] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Only those who deny it seek to hasten it on; but the believers dread its coming and know that its coming is the truth. Behold! Those who dispute concerning the hour of doom are far astray.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][19] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Allah is very Kind to His servants. He gives sustenance to whom He pleases. He is the Powerful, the Almighty.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][20] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]He who desires the harvest of the hereafter by doing things that benefit others, shall be given a many fold increase in his harvest; and he who desires the harvest of this world by ways and means that inflict harm on others, a share of it may be given to him as well: but in the hereafter he shall have no share in goodness at all.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][21] What! [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Have the ruling elite of those who oppose guidance of Allah set up gods besides Allah so that in their names they could make lawful what Allah has not allowed for them to do to others because it is harmful for the mankind? Had a decision of making the decision on the Day of Judgment not been issued already, the matter would have certainly been decidedbetween them; surely the opposers of our guidance will have a painful punishment.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][22] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]You will see that these wrongdoers will be fearing the bad consequences of their deeds which will surely befall them. While those who believe and do good deeds shall dwell in the[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]luxurious gardens of paradise, and shall receive from their Lord all that they wish for; that will surely be the magnificent blessing.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][23] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Such a blessing is the good news which Allah gives to His servants who believe in his guidance and do good for others. O Prophet, say to them: I do not ask you any recompense except your love for one another as single human family. He that does any good for any other person shall be repaid many times over. Surely Allah is Full of grace and most Appreciative of those who do good for others.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][24] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do they say, he has attributed falsehood to Allah as his guidance? But if Allah so willed, He could have sealed your mind from their nonsense charges. In fact Allah blots out falsehood and vindicates the truth by His words. Surely He knows everything that is hidden in your skulls.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][25] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is He Who gives opportunity for reformation to his people by way of his guidance to take them out of life of harm to life of benefit, and He knows whatever you do.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][26] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]He answers the prayers of those who believe and do good for others and gives them even more out of His bounty. As for those who oppose his guidance, they shall end up in severe punishment.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][27] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Had Allah bestowed abundance upon such of His servants, they would have transgressed beyond all bounds in the earth; that’s why He sends down sustenance for them in due measure as He pleases; He is well aware and observant of His servants.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][28] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is He Who sends down rain even after they have lost all hope, and spreads His Mercy. He Alone is the Praiseworthy Guardian.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][29] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has spread in them: and He is capable of gathering them all together whenever He wills.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][30][/FONT][FONT=&quot]Whatever affliction befalls you is the result of what your own hands have done even[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]though for many of your misdeeds He grants forgiveness.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][31] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]You cannot frustrate anything in earth and there is no protector or helper for you besides Allah.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][32] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Among His signs are the ships which look like mountains upon the ocean.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][33] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]If Hewants, He can cause the wind to become still and leave them motionless on their[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]backs - surely in this example there are signs for every such person who patiently endures and is grateful.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][34] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]- Or He may cause them to drown in consequence of even a few of their misdeeds, though He forgives many of their misdeeds.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][35] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Those who fight against Our revelations should know that there is no escape for them. No matter what they will end up living by foretold principles and rules.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][36] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Whatever you are given is nothing but a provision for the transitory life of this world,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]better and everlasting is the reward which Allah has for those who believe and put their[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]trust in their Lord,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][37] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and avoid inflicting major harms on others whereby they end up bringing shame upon themselves, and forgive wrong doings of others against themselves even when they are angry and can take revenge;[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][38] They [/FONT][FONT=&quot]answer the call of their Lord by establishing his order on the earth and conduct their affairs regarding individuals, communities and states with mutual consultation and use the sustenance We have given them to benefit others,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][39] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and when they are oppressed do not give in but help themselves and defend themselves.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][40] But remember that [/FONT][FONT=&quot]recompense foran injury is an injury proportionate to it; but if a person forgives and makesreconciliation he shall be rewarded by Allah; Surely He does not love such as inflict harm on others.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][41] But [/FONT][FONT=&quot]those who avenge themselves when harmed by others and are left to defend themselves cannot be blamed.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][42] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Theblameworthy are those who commit aggression and oppress their fellow humans and conduct themselves withwickedness and injustice in the land. It is they who will have painful punishment.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][43] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Those who endure with fortitude and forgive others, surely exhibit great courage in[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]conducting their affairs.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][44] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]He whom Allah lets go astray has no protector against Him. When they will face the[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]punishment, you will see the wrongdoers exclaim: Is there any way back to the life in the world?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][45] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]You will see them brought before awed and humiliated, looking at it with stealthy glances. The true believers will say: The real losers indeed are those who have lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Beware! Surely the wrongdoers shall suffer everlasting punishment.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][46] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They shall have no protectors who could help them against Allah. The one whom Allah lets go astray has no way of escape.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][47] So [/FONT][FONT=&quot]answer the call of your Lord before that Day arrives which cannot be averted against the will of Allah. There shall be no refuge for you on that Day, nor shall you be able to deny your sins.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][48] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Now if they give no heed, they should know that We have not sent you, O Muhammad, to be their keeper. Your onlyduty is to convey My message. Man is such that when We give him a taste of OurMercy, he is very happy about it; but when, through his own fault, an evil afflicts him,he becomes utterly ungrateful.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][49] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He evolves whatever He[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]pleases. He gives daughters to whom He pleases and gives sons to whom He pleases.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][50] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]To some He gives both sons and daughters, and makes barren whom He will; surely He is All-knowing, All-Powerful.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][51][/FONT][FONT=&quot] It is not vouchsafed to each human being that Allah should speak to him face to face rather He chooses whom he sees fit as his prophet and He speaks to him either through inspiration, or from behind a veil and sends him to the rest as a messenger authorized by Him to reveal His will; surely He is most High, most Wise.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][52] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Likewise We chose you O Muhammad as our messenger and revealed to you our guidance. You did not write any book before this nor campaigned for any religion but We have made the Quran a light whereby We guide those of Our servants whom We please; and surely you are guiding mankind to the Way that is right.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][53] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]- the Way of Allah - to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Beware! Decision of all affairs ultimately rests with Allah.[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]43 MAKAH AZ-ZUKHRUF - LUXURY 63[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][1][/FONT][FONT=&quot] Haa Meem.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][2] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]By the evidence in the Book that is clear.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][3] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We have revealed this Qur’an in Arabic so that you may learn to become sensible.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][4] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Surely, it is a transcript from the Mother Book in Our keeping, which is sublime and full of wisdom.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][5] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Should We take this guidance away from you and ignore you because you are a nation who has transgressed all limits?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][6] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And how many Prophets have We sent among the peoples before you?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][7] And [/FONT][FONT=&quot]never a Prophet came to his people but they mocked him.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][8] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So We destroyed them, though they were stronger in power than these people, and made an example of prior people for the later ones.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][9] And [/FONT][FONT=&quot]If you ask these people: Who has created the heavens and the earth? They will surely say:They have been created by the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][10] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The One Who has made the earth a resting place for you and traced out routes upon it so that you may find your ways.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][11] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The One Who sends down rain from the heaven in due measure and thereby resurrects a dead land - that’s how you shall be brought forth in hereafter.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][12] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The One Who has created all living things in pairs and made for you the ships and cattle on which you ride[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][13] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]so that you may firmly sit on their backs, then as you mount, recall the goodness of your Lord and say: Glory be to Him Who has subjected these to Our use, otherwise We could not have brought them under our control,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][14] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and to our Lord we shall all return.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][15] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Yet, they take some of His human creatures as His part by attributing daughters to him! Surely mankind isblasphemous ingrate avowed.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][16] What, has [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Allah chosen daughters for Himself out of what He Himself creates and gave you sons when you are ashamed to have daughters for yourselves?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][17] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And when a new born-girl - the gender that they ascribe to the Compassionate Allah- is announced to one of them, his face darkens with shame and he is filled with grief.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][18] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do they ascribe to Allah [/FONT][FONT=&quot]whom they raise to be delicate by adorning her with jewellery to be attractive for opposite sex instead of raising her to be able to defend herself when attacked?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][19] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They regard the people who dedicate their life to cause of Allah who like themselves are just human creatures of the Compassionate Allah as goddesses. Did they witness Allah turning them into female deities? Their such false claims shall be recorded and they shall be called to account for it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][20] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They say: Had it been the will of the Compassionate Allah that we should not worship them as his daughters then we would never have worshipped them but their such logic about them is not based on any real knowledge, it is mere their talk out of confusion and ignorance.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][21] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Or have We given them a Book before this to which they hold as authority on this?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][22] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]No, not at all, their only argument is, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]we found our forefathers practicing this faith and weare walking in their footsteps.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][23] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Even so, whenever We sent a Warner before you to forewarn a nation, its ruling elite argued, we found our forefathers practicing this tradition so we are going to continue in their footsteps.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][24] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Each Warner [/FONT][FONT=&quot]asked, what if I bring you better guidance than that which your forefathers practiced? But they replied: Well! We reject the faith with which you have been sent.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][25][/FONT][FONT=&quot]Consequently, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We let Our forecasted painful suffering befall them; then see what was the end ofthose who opposed our guidance?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][26] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Behold! Abraham said to his father and his people: I renounce the gods you believe in,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][27] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]except Him Who created me, for He will surely guide me.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][28] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And he left this statement as an abiding precept among his descendants, so that they should keep to it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][29] But they started believing in other gods even though [/FONT][FONT=&quot]we kept on providing them and their forefathers with guidance and sustenance, until there came to them the true guidance to the right path and a Messenger for the last time to expound it clearly.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][30] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]But now when the truth has come to them, they say: This is something mysterious so we do not trust it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][31] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They also say: Why is this Qur’an not revealed to a man of great importance in the two towns (Mecca and Ta'if)?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][32] Do they know better than us as to who should be our messenger and [/FONT][FONT=&quot]is it they who distribute the blessings of your Lord? It is We Who distribute the means of their livelihood in the life of this world, raising some in rank above others, so that one serving others may take others into his service to serve others. But the guidance of your Lord is far greater in value than the wealth of this world which they amass, so we choose the right person for the right job.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][33] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And were it not that all mankind become one nation against the guidance of Allah, We wouldhave given those who oppose the writ of Allah, such houses whoseroofs, stairways by which they go to upper chambers all made with silver,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][34] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and also the doors of their houses and couches on which they recline,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][35] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]along with ornaments of gold - for all these are nothing but comforts and adornments in life of this world. It is the life of the hereafter which your Lord has reserved exclusively for the righteous.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][36] But [/FONT][FONT=&quot]he who turns away from the guidance of Allah, We let him befriend the wicked who becomes his intimate companion.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][37] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]- thus such friends turn such people away from the Right Path, while they think that they are guided aright.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][38] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]- Ultimately, when that person will come to Us, he will say to his friend: I wish that I was far apart from you as the opposite ends of the universe: you turned out to be a destructive friend.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][39] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Then it will be said to them: Well, you have already done wrong, realizing this fact today will avail you not a bit, so you both share the same fate.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][40] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O Prophet, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]can you make the deaf hear, or give direction to the blind or those who choose to remain in manifest error? Surely not.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][41] so [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We will have to let retribution take its course on them, whether We take you[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]away from this world before it,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][42] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]or let you see their end, which We have promised them: surely We have full power over them. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][43] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Therefore, hold fast to this Qur’an which is revealed to you, surely you are on the Right Way.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][44] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]In fact this Qur’an is a reminder for you and your people; and you shall soon be questioned about it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][45] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Ask those who follow Our Messengers whom We sent before you if We ever appointed other gods to be worshipped besides Allah?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][46] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We sent Moses with Our revelations to Pharaoh and his chiefs. He said to them: I am a[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Messenger of the Lord of the nations.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][47] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]When he conveyed them Our revelations, they laughed at them.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][48] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Yet We showed them sign after sign each greater than the one preceding it and We let affliction take its course on them each time, so that they might turn to the Right Way.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][49] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Each time they were seized by a foretold scourge, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]they said to Moses: O man of secret knowledge! Pray to your Lord for us by virtue of the covenant He has made with you; we shall surely accept your guidance.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][50] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]But each time We lifted the scourge from them, they broke their pledge.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][51] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]One day [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Pharaoh made a proclamation among his people: O my people! Is not the kingdom of Egypt mine? Are not these rivers flowing beneath me? Can you not see?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][52] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Am I not better than this despicable wretch, who can hardly express himself clearly?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][53] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Why have no gold bracelets been given to him, or kings sent with him to accompany him?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][54] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Thus did he incite his people and they obeyed him; surely they were a nation of aggressors who did not think things through before acting on their whims.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][55] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]At last when they provoked Us by breaking all bound against mankind, We let painful suffering take its course and they all ended up destroyed,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][56] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and so we made them a lesson and an example for the later generations.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][57] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]When son of Mary is quoted as an example, your people raise a clamour at[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]it because to them it is funny thing that Allah sent a man as his messenger yet most of his followers took him for a god,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][58] So they[/FONT][FONT=&quot] say: Are Our gods better or is he? They cite this to you merely to provoke you. They are but a quarrelsome people.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][59] The fact is, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]he was no more than a mortal whom We favoured and made an example for the Children of Israel to follow.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][60] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Had it been Our will, We could create kings from you to succeed you in succession in the earth.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][61] Surely [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Allah has the knowledge of the last hour so have no doubt about its coming, and follow my guidance, this is the Right Way.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][62] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Let not the wicked mislead you, for such a person is your open enemy.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][63] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]When Jesus came with clear evidences, he stated: I have brought you wisdom to clarify some of those things about which you have disputes: so be mindful of Allah and listen to me.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][64] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Surely it is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is the Right Way.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][65] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]In spite of these teachings[/FONT][FONT=&quot], the factions disagreed among themselves; so woe to the wrongdoers from the punishment of a painful Day.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][66] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Are they waiting for the Hour of Doom that it should come on them all of a sudden, without warning?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][67] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]On that Day, even friends will become enemies to one another with the exception of those who do good for others.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][68][/FONT][FONT=&quot] O My devotees! Today you have nothing to worry or to regret,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][69] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]it will be said to [/FONT][FONT=&quot]those who believed in Our revelations and committed themselves to the way of life that leads to peace,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][70] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Enter paradise, you and your spouses; you will be made happy.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][71] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]There they shall be served with golden dishes and golden goblets, and they shall have everything that their minds can desire and all that their eyes can delight in - and it will be said to them: Now you shall abide therein forever.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][72] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]You have inherited this paradise by virtue of your good deeds.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][73] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]therein you shall have plenty of fruit to eat.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][74] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]But the criminals will abide in the punishment of hell.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][75] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Their punishment will never be lightened, and they shall remain in despair therein.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][76] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We did not wrong them, but it is they who wronged themselves[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][77] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They will cry: O MAALIK=master! Let your Lord put an end to us. But he will answer: Nay! You are going to live forever.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][78] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We have brought you the truth, but most of you hate the truth.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][79] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]What! Are they devising a plan to get rid of you (O Muhammad), but We surely have a plan to save you from their conspiracies.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][80] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do they think that We cannot hear their secret talks and their private conversation? Of course We can, and Our agents who are assigned the task of following them, record it all.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][81] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O Prophet [/FONT][FONT=&quot]tell Christians: Allah has no begotten son, I know this for sure because I am foremost in serving him as his messenger.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][82] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Glory belongs to the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne of this kingdom, He is above what they ascribe to Him.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][83] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So let them blunder and play until they face their Day, which has been promised to them.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][84] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is Allah Who is God in the heavens and God on earth; He is All-Wise and All-Knowing.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][85] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Blessed is He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them! He Alone has the knowledge of the Hour of Doom, and to Him you shall all be brought back.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][86][/FONT][FONT=&quot]And those whom they invoke besides Him, have no power to intercede for them[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]except those who testify to the truth by virtue of knowledge.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][87] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]If you ask them Who created them, they will certainly say: Allah. How then are they deluded away from the truth?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][88] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Allah has heard the Prophet’s [/FONT][FONT=&quot]cry: O Lord! Surely these are a people who would not believe.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][89] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Therefore, O Prophet! [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Bear with them and wish them peace. They shall soon come to know the truth.[/FONT]

[babadeena]

Misleading translations and interpretations of Quran is equivalent to blasphemy in my opinion.
You are on of them who likes to twist the clear cut Divine Words. STOP LYING.

My Allah is best judge of everything. You only know copy n paste. Look your expertise the
same post, exactly you are pasting again and again.

Any man knows the meaning of intercession

In that "Any man" you are definitely excluded.

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither
drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on
the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is
[presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His
knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth,
and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great [2:255]

Notice the word "except" in the above mentioned verse. This verse does not condemn
the presence of an intercessor; they just put a condition for the fact of intercession.

NOTICE THE WORD "WHO", In Quran no where it is written that "who is he". Rest
it all your conjecture. Nothing else.

I mean to stress on Ayat [5:35] and then tell [17:57] as another Ayat which contains the
word waseela. Ayat [17:56] confirms my position that waseela is forbidden from people
taken as besides Allah and [5:35] confirms my position that waseela is suggested.
One way for waseela is intercession and I already have told the intercession Ayaat.

YOUR "SELF-MADE WASEELA CONCEPT" has already been shattered. The posts are available on
this very thread. Care to read them again.
You are nothing more than a "recorded tape", which is being played by a remote controlled
group.This recorded tape has the same thing which has been repeated more than
once in almost all religious thread where you presented this tape.
To discuss something with ignorants, nothing fetches, but my job done to point
out your flaws and being astray. Rest it is your choice to accept or reject.

 

[Pakistani1947]

Article: Regarding Intercession on the Day of Judgment

A good Article worth Sharing...

Before discussing the possibility of intercession on the Day of Judgment, a few aspects relating to the very nature of the Day of Judgment as well as those relating to the attributes of the Almighty should be kept in perspective.
As far as the Day of Judgment is concerned, the basic purpose for which it shall be brought into existence is to reward each soul for what it has actually earned in an absolutely just and equitable manner. The Qur’an says:

To Him will be your return, of all of you. The promise of Allah is true and sure [to happen]. It is He Who begins the process of Creation, and then shall repeat it, so that He may reward with justice those who believe and do righteous deeds… (Yunus 10: 4)
​

At another instance, the Qur’an says:

[This will happen] So that God may reward each soul according to its deeds; and verily God is Swift in calling to account. (Ibraheem 14: 51)
​

Then again in Al-Aa`raaf, the Qur’an says:

The balance that day will be according to justice: those whose scale [of good deeds] will be heavier shall prosper; while those whose scale [of good deeds] will be lighter these are the ones who shall lose themselves… (Al-Aa`raaf 7: 8 – 9)
​

In Ghaafir, the Qur’an says:

Today shall each soul be compensated for its deeds; no injustice will there be today, for God is Swift in taking account. (Ghaafir 40: 17)
​

Because the basic purpose of the very existence of the Day of Judgment is to decide among people according to absolute justice, therefore, the Qur’an has unequivocally refuted all such concepts, which may – directly or indirectly – go against the concept of absolute justice, on the Day of Judgment. The Qur’an says:

Guard yourselves against a day, when no soul shall avail another nor shall intercession be accepted for it, nor shall compensation be taken from it, nor shall anyone be helped. (Al-Baqarah 2: 48)
​

Some of the Hypocrite Muslims and the Ahl e Kitaab ascribed to the belief that irrespective of their deeds, they shall be forgiven for whatever they do, whether on the basis of intercession of their prophets and elders or merely on the basis of their being the selected ones. Such a concept was clearly contradictory to the concept of justice. Thus, the Qur’an has termed this belief as their ‘vain desires’ and has forcefully negated it. The Qur’an says:

Neither your vain desires, nor those of the People of the Book shall come to pass. [On the contrary,] whoever does evil, shall be rewarded accordingly. He will not find, besides God, any protector or helper. (Al-Nisaa 4: 123)
​

Thus, the first point that should be kept in mind, while considering even the possibility of any intercession – on the Day of Judgment – is that it should not contradict the principle of justice, which according to the Qur’an, is the very purpose for which the souls shall be resurrected after their death.
The second point that should be kept in mind, in this respect, relates to the attributes of the Almighty. It should be remembered that:

• God is Most Merciful – No one is more merciful than the Almighty Himself, no one loves us more than the Almighty does. Thus, any concept of intercession, based on the belief that any person is more merciful or more loving than the Almighty is against Islam;
• God is Omniscient – He knows everything, nothing is hidden from Him. Thus, any concept of intercession based on the belief that any other person shall inform God about the ‘goodness’ of a person, is absolute alien to Islam;
• God is Omnipotent as well as the Highest Authority – No one is more powerful than God and neither has the courage to overrule His decisions. Thus, any concept of intercession based on the belief that any person shall be in a position to overrule the decision of God is clearly against the Qur’an;
• God is ‘Justice’ – All His decisions are just. No one is more just than God. Thus, any concept of intercession based on the belief that any person shall give a more just decision than God, is clearly against the teachings of Islam.
• In short, no concept of intercession, which is against or contradictory to any of the attributes of God can be ascribed to by a Muslim.

Keeping the above clarifications in perspective, it may now be considered whether or not any form of intercession can be held as applicable on for the Day of Judgment. It seems that a concept of intercession, which is neither contradictory to the principle of justice nor challenges any of the attributes of God maybe accepted as true. However, one may ask, what sort of intercession can that be.
With some deliberation, one may find a possible answer from the Qur’an itself. Al-Taubah 9: 100 – 103 informs us about the fate of three groups from among the Muslims:

1. Those who excelled in their belief and in doing good deeds (Al-Taubah 9: 100). These are the people, who are promised the eternal bliss of the hereafter. Their success shall not be dependent on or subject to any intercession. They shall stand successful on the basis of their own deeds and the strength and truthfulness of their faith. In other words, these are those whose scale of good deeds shall clearly outweigh their mistakes and who shall, therefore, deserve the eternal rewards of the hereafter;
2. Those who, even though they had apparently accepted faith, were not true in their faith (Al-Taubah 9: 101). These were the hypocrites among Muslims. These are those for whom no intercession or request shall be heard – not even that of the Prophet (pbuh)[1]. In other words, these are those, whose scale of bad deeds shall clearly outweigh their good deeds and, therefore, nothing shall be able to save them from the eternal punishment of hellfire.
3. Those who although are sincere in their faith and truly seek the pleasures of the Almighty by doing good deeds, yet keep falling prey to the attractions of their worldly desires (Al-Taubah 9: 102 – 103). In other words, these are those, whose scales of good and bad deeds are almost equal. On the basis only of their own deeds, they neither deserve reward nor punishment. For such people, the Qur’an directs the Prophet (pbuh) in the following words:

Take charity from their wealth, you shall cleanse and purify them through it, and pray for them. Indeed your prayer shall be a source of comfort for them. (Al-Taubah 9: 103)
​

It seems that just as, according to the above-cited verse, the Prophet (pbuh) is directed to pray for such people in the life of this world, in the same manner, the Prophet (pbuh) may be asked to pray for their forgiveness in the hereafter as well. As should be clear, the Prophet’s prayer (or intercession) for such people and their subsequent forgiveness shall neither be against the principle of justice nor would it amount to a refutation of any of the attributes of God.
​

Furthermore, according to the Qur’an, any intercession (or prayer or request) for any person shall be subject to the following conditions:

1. Such prayer (or intercession or request) shall only be made by a person, to whom God grants permission[2];
2. Such prayer (or intercession or request) shall only be made in favor of such a person for whom God grants permission[3];
3. Such prayer (or intercession or request) shall not be unjust or based on a lie[4].

In the above explanation, I have tried to cover the various aspects that relate to the topic under consideration, as given in the Qur’an. All the narratives ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh), relating to the said issue, should be seen, understood and explained in the light of the principles outlined in the Qur’an. Any concept of intercession, which is against the principles outlined in the Qur’an, is obviously, false. Any narrative, ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh), which is contrary to any of the principles outlined in the Qur’an, has to be rejected as one, which is incorrectly ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh) or incorrectly perceived and reported by one or more of its narrators.

Grave Worship Is Shirk - It's Not True Islam - Islam My Choice

 

[Abdul Allah]

You r type of people or from that Group of people who wish to "justify their pre-determined creed/concept/way"
with the help of Hadiths, whose authenticity when checked with Quran leaves much to be desired.
IF QURAN CLEARLY SAYS THAT THERE WILL BE NO INTERCESSION. NOONE HAS THE POWER
TO CHANGE THOSE WORDS OF ALLAH, Hadith or whatsoever.

Read Quran as Whole. Do not treat it as newspaper(Nauzbillah)
Quran says
Except with Allah's permission.
Hadith tell that to whom Allah give that permission. so It is EXACTLY according to the Quran
For me explanation that Muhammad pbuh provide are more worthy to base my believes.

Be logical while answering this.

Re: What is intercession - شفاعت کیا ہے؟

Dear Abdul Allah,

Following (First) Hadith which conculdes"Prophet Muhammad can not save anyone from Allah's punishment."


1. Narrated Abu HuraIra: When Allah revealed the Verse: "Warn your nearest kinsmen," Allah's Apostle got up and said, "O people of Quraish (or saId similar words)! Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the Hellfire) as I cannot save you from Allah's PunIshment; O Bani Abd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment, O Safiya, the Aunt of Allah's Apostle! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O FatIma bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment." (Sahih Bukhari Book #51, Hadith #16)

Following (Second) Hadeeth clarifies the first conclusion that " Prophet Muhammad can not save anyone from Allah's punishment against Allah's Will." Note: the wording "against Allah's Will" is taken from the last line of this Hadeeth. Actually last line of this Hadeeth clarify the first Hadeeth.

2. Abu Huraira reported: When (this verse) was revealed to him:" Warn your nearest kinsmen." the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: o people of Quraish, buy yourselves from Allah, I cannot avail you at all against Allah; o sons of Abd al-Muttalib. I cannot avail you at all against Allah; 0 Abbas b. 'Abd al- Muttalib, I cannot avail you at all against Allah; o Safiya (aunt of the Messenger of Allah), I cannot avail you at all against Allah; 0 Fatima, daughter of Muhammad, ask me whatever you like, but I cannot avail you at all against Allah. (Sahih Muslim Book #001, Hadith #0402)

Conclusion: On the day judgment, if Allah orders someone to be punished then no one have the authority to change His decision. Allah is the final authority.

Allah Is the final Authority YES YES YES
"if Allah orders someone to be punished then no one have the authority to change His decision NO not true as such
Allah Allow I REPEAT ALLAH ALLOWED (I once again REPEAT for you ALLAH ALLOWED) beloved prophet for that

Sahi Bukhari
Narrated 'Imran bin Husain: The Prophet said, "Some people will be taken out of the Fire through the intercession of Muhammad they will enter Paradise and will be called Al-Jahannamiyin (the hell Fire people)." (Book #76, Hadith #571)

Another for you
Anas told me the same as he told you and said that the Prophet added, '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.' '' (Book #93, Hadith #601)

Did you see that.
Those who will be bound to go in hell will be taken out from the Hell BECAUSE of intercession of Muhammad pbuh and Allah will Allow that (I repeat Allah will Allow that)
