Faman Azlamu فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ
Part 24 of 30 • 177 Verses
۞ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ إِذْ جَآءَهُۥٓ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ

6:22; 10:18; 29:69.
Commentary:
After having briefly referred, in the foregoing verses, to the need and purpose of revelation, the Surah proceeds to give two very sound and effective arguments in support of that phenomenon. The verse under comment deals with the first argument, which is, that two persons never succeed in life; the one who invents lies against God and the other who denies and rejects the truth when it is presented and preached to him. The second argument is given in the next verse.

وَٱلَّذِى جَآءَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِۦٓ ۙ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ
Commentary:
The second argument to support and establish the truth of a claimant to Divine revelation lies in the fact that the Prophets of God and those who accept their Message and follow their lead invariably meet with success, because they enjoy God’s protection and help. These two criteria, the one mentioned in this and the other in the previous verse, determine the truth of all Divine Messengers.

See 39:24.
Commentary:
The verse reinforces and enlarges the argument given in vv. 33, 34 above, viz. that all the schemes and machinations of disbelievers cannot cause the Prophets any real harm. This forms another proof of the fact that God is at their back and His help and succour alone is sufficient for them and that the threats of disbelievers cannot intimidate them into giving up their mission.

18:18.
یعنی کفار تو کوشش کرتے تھے کہ مومن کسی طرح گمراہ ہو جائیں لیکن مومنوں کی قربانی کی وجہ سے اللہ تعالیٰ چاہتا تھا کہ مومن بڑھیں اس لئے اس آیت میں فرماتا ہے کہ کیا اللہ تعالیٰ غالب نہیں کہ جو اس کا منشا ہے اس کو پورا کرے اور جو دشمنوں کا منشا ہے اس کو ناکام کرے۔

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِىَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَٰشِفَٰتُ ضُرِّهِۦٓ أَوْ أَرَادَنِى بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَٰتُ رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ قُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ ۖ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ

Though idolaters, out of superstition or traditional attachment, worship false gods, yet if the argument is driven home to them, they have to, and invariably do, confess that God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and in Him alone resides all real power.

6:136; 11:122.
The verse throws out an open challenge to disbelievers to do their worst and use all their power, resources and influence to destroy Islam, but they will never succeed in their evil designs. Islam is humanity’s last hope and final destiny and, therefore, its cause is bound to triumph and prevail.
6:136; 11:122.
Important Words:
مکانتکم (as you can). مکانة is considered by some to have been derived from کان which means, he or it was, or it came into existence. Thus it means, place of existence; state or condition. It may also be taken to have been derived from مکن. They say مکن عند الامیر i.e. he had a great position with the prince. In this sense of the root word مکانة would mean, greatness; high rank or standing; honourable place or position; power. The expression اعملوا علی مکانتکم would thus mean, do what you can; do your worst (Lane & Aqrab).

11:40.
Commentary:
The verse mentions two kinds of punishment which is in store for rejecters of truth. عذاب یخزیه (punishment that will disgrace him) denotes the punishment in the form of ignominy and humiliation to which they will be subjected in this life and عذاب مقیم (abiding punishment) is the punishment of the next life which will be of much longer duration. Almost everywhere in the Quran the word خزیdenotes disgrace and humiliation in this world. See 2:86, 115; 5:34, 42; 11:67; 22:10; 41:17; etc.

6:61.
With his death man’s soul does not die or disintegrate but is taken away from its mortal habitat and is kept in other regions to account for man’s actions in due course.
6:61.
Commentary:
It appears from this verse that the soul of man is taken away both at the time of death and in sleep. In the former case, it is kept back and not allowed to return, while in the latter case, it comes back. The verse thus shows that the dead never come back to life. It also has an implied reference to the immortality of the human soul and man’s accountability for his deeds. In v. 41 above it was stated that as a result of the rejection of Divine Message, the disbelievers will suffer disgrace and humiliation in this life and will be subjected to an abiding punishment in the life to come. In the present verse we are told that with his death, man’s soul does not die or disintegrate but is taken away from its mortal habitat and is kept in other regions to account for man’s actions in due course.

Commentary:

Commentary:
The verse refutes the false plea of idolaters that they worship their self-devised deities because they believe that they will intercede for them with God the Almighty and will bring them near to Him (39:4). "All intercession rests with Allah," says the verse, and "who is he that will intercede with Him except by His permission?" (2:256). See also 2:49.

Commentary:
The expression "Day of Resurrection" in the verse may apply both to the last Judgement Day and the day of the final triumph of Islam. That great event took place before the very eyes of disbelievers, when idolatry departed from Arabia never to return. The disbelievers could never conceive of such an event taking place. This may be the significance of the words, but there shall appear unto them from Allah that which they never thought. Or the words may mean that evil consequences of the evil deeds which disbelievers did in this life will appear before them in an embodied form in the life to come, and of that eventuality they had no idea.

The verse means to say that the attitude of conceit and self-praise to which reference has been made in the previous verse has also proved the undoing of many a people in the past.

When this happens it will constitute a great sign to prove the truth of the Holy Prophet.

The verse holds out a message of hope and good cheer to the sinners. It encourages optimism and kills despair and despondency. It denounces and condemns pessimism because pessimism lies at the root of most sins and failures in life. Again and again the Qur’an gives a promise of Divine mercy and forgiveness (6:55; 7:157; 12:88; 15:57; 18:59) than which there could be no greater message of solace and comfort for the grieved and the heavy-laden.

Commentary:
The present is one of the most beautiful verses of the Quran. It holds out a message of hope and good cheer to those who have wronged their souls. It encourages optimism and kills despair and despondency. It denounces and condemns pessimism because pessimism lies at the root of most sins and failures in life. Again and again the Quran gives a promise of Divine mercy and forgiveness. "Despair not of the mercy of Allah," it says, "for none despair of Allah’s mercy save the disbelieving people" (12:88). Again it says: "And who can despair of the mercy of his Lord save those who go astray" (15:57). There could be no greater message of solace and comfort for the grieved and the heavy-laden than this. The God of Islam is "Most Forgiving, full of mercy" (18:59). "He has taken it upon Himself to show mercy" (6:55). "His mercy encompasses all things" (7:157). Such is the God of Islam. He can and does forgive the sins of His servants and does not need the vicarious sacrifice of anyone for this purpose. He only requires a change of heart on the part of the sinner. According to Islam, the sinner is never beyond redemption. The Holy Prophet has beautifully explained this verse in one of his sayings, viz. من قال ھلک الناس فھو أھلکھم i.e. "He who says that the people have gone to ruin, it is he who, in fact, leads them to ruin" (Muslim).

安拉给予沉陷于罪恶中的人们许多悔过自新的机会。只有在他们蓄意并反复拒绝真理时, 只有在他们所犯的罪恶超出了应有的范围时, 清算日确确实实来到他们面前时, 他们才感到后悔莫及, 空自叹息。
Many chances are given to the man who is steeped in sin to repent and reform himself. It is when his rejection of Truth is deliberate and repeated, and when he exceeds all legitimate bounds in committing sin and transgression and when the day of reckoning is actually upon him that his sighs and regrets prove of no avail to him.

“大地将会照耀着养主的光辉,” 这句话, 如果用于后世, 意思是生命的奥秘将被揭露, 人们今生已做的善事和恶行在今世常是隐而不见的, 到后世将变得明显起来。然而, 这句话如果指的是安拉派遣的导师出现在这个世界上, 尤其是穆圣降临的话, 它的意思可以是, 既然穆圣已经降临, 整个世界会照耀着安拉的光辉, 精神黑暗就会全部消失。“先知和作证者将被召来” 这句话可以意指穆圣的降临, 因为穆圣本人可以代表一切先知以及安拉所派遣的导师; 而 “作证者” 指的是他的真正信奉者, 他们享有作为所有人的作证者的这种值得自豪的特殊荣幸。

Commentary:
Applied to the next life, the words, "and the earth will shine with the light of her Lord," would mean that the veil will be lifted from the mysteries of life and the consequences of good or bad actions which man will have done in this life and which remain hidden here, will become manifest. With reference, however, to the appearance of a Divine teacher in the world, particularly to that of the Holy Prophet, they may signify that now that the Holy Prophet has appeared the whole earth will shine with divine light, and spiritual darkness will be completely dispelled. "The bringing of the Prophets" may signify the advent of the Holy Prophet who represents all the Prophets and Divine teachers; and the word "witnesses" refers to his followers who enjoy the proud privilege of having been appointed witnesses over all men (2:144).

When believers see the promises of success and prosperity, made to them by the Prophet of God in the hour of severe tribulation, being literally fulfilled, their hearts become full of gratitude and they sing Divine praises from the inmost depths of their being. The words "the earth" in the sentence "and has given us the earth to inherit" may refer to the Holy Land, and the verse may particularly apply to the Holy Prophet’s Companions who had to wait for only a few years to see the fulfilment of the promise that the Holy Land would fall into their possession. The Muslims conquered Palestine in the caliphate of ‘Umar and it remained in their hands for more than 1300 years with the exception of a brief period of about 90 years. The present possession of Palestine by the Jews seems to be only a temporary phase.

God’s attributes will see their most complete manifestation on the Judgment Day and the cherubs will be on duty singing alleluias to the Divine Being.

Commentary:
God’s attributes will see their most complete manifestation on the Judgement Day and the cherubs will be on duty singing alleluias to the Divine Being. "The angels" in the verse may also refer to the Companions of the Holy Prophet who seeing God’s promises being fulfilled before their very eyes sang praises to Divine glory, majesty and holiness as no people had ever done before, and never was judgement made so clear between right and wrong as was made in the time of the Holy Prophet. This seems to be the significance of the verse.
The word عرش(Throne), for which see 10:4, represents the transcendent attributes of God such as His glory, majesty, holiness and power. These attributes have an intimate connection with Unity, as is clear from 23:117, where we read: There is no God but He, the Lord of the Exalted Throne, for it is the transcendent attributes of God which constitute the real proof of His Unity, as His other attributes are shared by man. In this sense of the word عرش (Throne), the verse would mean that the Unity of God will become established in Arabia, and God’s true servants in the world together with the angels in heavens, will celebrate His praises.
The words, "Thou wilt see the angels going round the Throne," may mean that angels will sing God’s praises continuously and in unison.

Both these groups of Divine attributes have a strong bearing on the subject-matter of this Surah. The Surah makes repeated reference to the Glory, Majesty and Power of God as the word ‘Arsh which signifies these attributes and which has been twice mentioned in the first few verses, shows.

Both the attributes Hayy (Living) and Qayyum (Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining) have an obvious connection with this subject.

39:76; 69:18.
正如 عَرْش (‘Arsh) 意指安拉的常德 (见注释498和580), 因此, “那些负荷着帝位的”, 这句话的意思是指可以显示出那些常德的那些人或存在物。因为自然法则是通过天使而起作用的, 而先知是安拉的话向人类宣扬的工具, “那些负荷帝位的”, 这句话, 可以意指天使和安拉派遣的使者。而 “在其四周的”, 可以意指帮助主要天使执行世上事务的次要天使, 或传播和宣扬先知教义的真实信奉者。
39:76; 69:18.
As ‘Arsh signifies Divine attributes (see {986} & {1233}), the words, 'Those who bear the Throne,' would, therefore, mean, those beings or persons through whom those attributes are manifested. As the laws of nature work through the angels, and the Prophets are the instruments through whom God’s Word is preached to mankind, the words, 'Those who bear the Throne,' may signify both the angels and the Divine Messengers, and the words, 'those who are around it,' may signify subordinate angels who assist the principal angels in executing the affairs of the world or the true followers of the Prophets who preach and disseminate the teachings of the Prophets. See also {986}.

Commentary:
As عرش (Throne) signifies Divine attributes (see 10:4 & 39:76), "the bearers of the Throne" would, therefore, mean those beings or persons through whom those attributes are manifested. The laws of nature work through the angels, and the Prophets are the instruments through whom God’s Word is preached to mankind. Thus the words "those who bear the Throne" may signify both the angels and Divine Messengers. The four principal Divine attributes being رب (the Lord), الرحمن (the Gracious), الرحیم (the Merciful) and مالك یوم الدین (Master of the Day of Judgement), the most important bearers of the Throne are those angels through whom these four attributes find their manifestation and expression; and the words "those who are around it" may signify subordinate angels who assist the principal angels in executing the affairs of the world.
God’s attributes of 'mercy' and 'knowledge,' according to this verse, are among the most important and all-comprehensive of Divine attributes.
Asking of forgiveness by angels for believers consists in the fact that they help the believers in preaching the Word of God and spreading righteousness on earth.

正如 عَرْش (‘Arsh) 意指安拉的常德 (见注释498和580), 因此, “那些负荷着帝位的”, 这句话的意思是指可以显示出那些常德的那些人或存在物。因为自然法则是通过天使而起作用的, 而先知是安拉的话向人类宣扬的工具, “那些负荷帝位的”, 这句话, 可以意指天使和安拉派遣的使者。而 “在其四周的”, 可以意指帮助主要天使执行世上事务的次要天使, 或传播和宣扬先知教义的真实信奉者。

The verse lays down a great principle. No work is accomplished and no success achieved by anyone in this world single-handed. Several other persons, consciously or unconsciously, make their contribution to it. These conscious or unconscious associates and helpers primarily are a person’s parents, wife and children. So these near relatives will also be allowed to participate in the blessings which will be bestowed upon believers for his good works.

人的本性是, 当他遇到他恶事所引出的不幸后果时, 开始咒骂自己。不信的人被告知说, 他们要面临惩罚时, 他们觉得厌恶他们自己。可是永久仁慈和无限博爱的安拉在他们拒绝他的教义以及反对和迫害他的使者时, 更加憎恨他们。
It is human nature that when a person is confronted with the evil consequences of his bad deeds, he begins to curse himself. The disbelievers are told that when they are face to face with punishment they feel disgusted with themselves. But the Merciful and Gracious God was more disgusted with them when they rejected His Message and opposed and persecuted His Messengers.

The construction ذوالعرش (Lord of the Throne) is like ذو الرحمة i.e. Lord of mercy (18:59) and thus refutes the popular wrong notion that عرش is something physical.

安拉派遣的每一个先知都会碰到自己的法老、哈曼 (هَامَان, Haman) 和卡荣 (قَارُوْن, Qarun)。这些名字分别象征权力、祭司职位和物质财富, 因为哈曼是祭司阶层的首领, 卡荣是法老贵族中极端有钱的人。无限的政治权力、奴隶般的祭司职位和无法控制的资本主义, 是迟延和阻止一个民族政治、经济和精神道德发展的三害, 因而, 很自然地在每一个时代安拉所派遣的改革家进行无情战争来反对的就是这些人类的敌人。

The bold manner in which he expressed his belief and spoke to the people of Pharaoh shows that the concealment was not due to fear.

Commentary:
It is worthy of note that while according to other religions, the highest goal of man is نـجاة i.e. deliverance from sin and its evil consequences, the goal according to Islam is فلاح (23:2) which is attainment of the noble and supreme object for which man has been created and which consists in winning God’s pleasure. Thus the stage of فلاح (attainment of one’s object) is clearly much higher in man’s spiritual development than that of نـجاة.

Ghafaral-Mata‘a means, he put the goods in the bag and covered and protected them. Ghufran and Maghfirah are both infinitive nouns from Ghafara and mean, protection and preservation. Mighfar means helmet, because it protects the head. Dhamb means, such natural failings or frailties as adhere to human nature or such errors as bring about harmful results. Dhanaba-hu means, he followed his trail, not quitting his track (Lane & Mufradat). Istighfar is not only needed by ordinary believers but also by holy men of God, even by God’s great Prophets. While the former offer Istighfar to seek protection against future sins as well as from the evil consequences of past lapses, the latter seek protection from human shortcomings and weaknesses that may hinder the progress of their cause. The Prophets also are human and though they are immune to sin, yet they, too, are heirs to human failings and frailties; so they also need offering Istighfar
Dhambaka, means, sins committed against thee; sins alleged by thy enemies to have been committed by thee; thine human shortcomings and frailties. See {2765}.
30:61.
Important Words:
استـغـفر (ask forgiveness) is derived from غـفر. They say غـفر الشیء i.e. he covered or concealed the thing. غـفر الله ذنبه means, God covered up his sins and forgave him. مـغـفرة and غـفران which are both infinitives, signify God’s forgiveness or His protection of a person against the punishment of his sins and protection against future lapses (Mufradat, Aqrab & Lane). استـغـفر would thus signify, "ask God for مـغـفرة " i.e. covering up of, and for-giveness for, past lapses, and pro-tection from future stumbling. استـغـفار (Istighfar), therefore, is not only needed by ordinary believers but also by holy men of God—even by God’s great Prophets. While the former offer Istighfar to seek protection against future sins as well as from the evil consequences of past lapses, the latter seek protection from human shortcomings and weaknesses that may hinder the progress of their cause. The Prophets also are human and though they are immune to sin, yet they, too, are heir to human failings and frailties and so they too need offering Istighfar to seek Divine help and assistance against these. See also 2:59 & 14:42
ذنب (frailty) is derived from ذنب (dhanaba). ذنبه (dhanaba-hu) means, he followed his tail, not quitting his track. ذنب, therefore, signifies such natural failings or frailties as adhere to human nature. ذنب also means, a fault, an imperfection, a shortcoming, natural weakness, frailty, a misdeed, an offence or error for which one is liable to be called to account or which produces harmful results (Mufradat). Four words i.e. جناح, جرم, إثم and ذنب (all signifying a lapse) have been used in the Quran, but whereas all the four have been used in relation to human beings generally, the first three have not been used with regard to Prophets of God. This shows the great difference between ذنب and other words. See also 3:17.
Commentary:
As against the Bible which has imputed all sorts of heinous crimes and sins to God’s Prophets (Gen. 9:21-22; 19: 30-36 & 2 Sam. 11:2-5), Islam regards them as completely free from all moral lapses. They are born sinless and they remain sinless throughout life. "They are God’s honoured servants and fully carry out His commandments" (21:21, 28). Christian writers have vainly sought to infer from 48:3 and from the verse under comment that as the Holy Prophet was enjoined to ask forgiveness for his ذنب, he must have been guilty of moral lapses. Apart from the fact that a casual study of the context at both the places belies this baseless inference, the argument only exposes ignorance of Arabic idiom on the part of Christian critics. استـغـفر لذنبک is quite a harmless expression, particularly when used about a Prophet of God; and in view of the meanings of the words ذنب and استـغـفار, as given under "Important Words" above, it does not at all bear this sinister construction. The expression only means that the Holy Prophet was enjoined to invoke God’s protection against his human weaknesses standing in the way of the realization of his noble object which was the advance and spread of Islam and the complete and final victory of truth over falsehood. The expression may also mean, "ask forgiveness for them (thine enemies) for the wrongs they have done thee," ذنبک meaning, the wrong done to thee. The Quran regards the Holy Prophet, as indeed all other Divine Messengers, as above any imputation of committing a sin. The Quran has shed some light on the very high stature of the Holy Prophet. It says:
(1) He it is who has raised among the unlettered people a Messenger from among themselves who recites unto them His Signs, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and Wisdom (2:130; 3:165 & 62:3).
(2) Your Companion has neither erred, nor has he gone astray. Nor does he speak out of his own desire. It is nothing but pure revelation that has been revealed by God (53:3-5).
(3) Verily, those who swear allegiance to thee indeed swear allegiance to God (48:11).
(4) Say, 'If you love Allah, follow me: Then Allah will love you and forgive you your faults' (3:32).
(5) Whoso obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah indeed (4:81).
It is ignorance of Arabic language or misrepresentation of the text of the Quran to say that it regards the great and noble Prophet, who had raised to the highest pinnacles of spiritual glory a whole people, sunk deep in the depths of moral turpitude, and had purified them, liable to commit sins!

As against the Bible which has imputed all sorts of heinous crimes and sins to God’s Prophets (Gen. 9:21-22; 19: 30-36 & 2 Sam. 11:2-5), Islam regards them as completely free from all moral lapses. They are born sinless and they remain sinless throughout life. "They are God’s honoured servants and fully carry out His commandments" (21:21, 28). Christian writers have vainly sought to infer from 48:3 and from the verse under comment that as the Holy Prophet was enjoined to ask forgiveness for his ذنب, he must have been guilty of moral lapses. Apart from the fact that a casual study of the context at both the places belies this baseless inference, the argument only exposes ignorance of Arabic idiom on the part of Christian critics. استـغـفر لذنبک is quite a harmless expression, particularly when used about a Prophet of God; and in view of the meanings of the words ذنب and استـغـفار, as given under "Important Words" above, it does not at all bear this sinister construction. The expression only means that the Holy Prophet was enjoined to invoke God’s protection against his human weaknesses standing in the way of the realization of his noble object which was the advance and spread of Islam and the complete and final victory of truth over falsehood. The expression may also mean, "ask forgiveness for them (thine enemies) for the wrongs they have done thee," ذنبک meaning, the wrong done to thee. The Quran regards the Holy Prophet, as indeed all other Divine Messengers, as above any imputation of committing a sin. The Quran has shed some light on the very high stature of the Holy Prophet. It says:
(1) He it is who has raised among the unlettered people a Messenger from among themselves who recites unto them His Signs, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and Wisdom (2:130; 3:165 & 62:3).
(2) Your Companion has neither erred, nor has he gone astray. Nor does he speak out of his own desire. It is nothing but pure revelation that has been revealed by God (53:3-5).
(3) Verily, those who swear allegiance to thee indeed swear allegiance to God (48:11).
(4) Say, 'If you love Allah, follow me: Then Allah will love you and forgive you your faults' (3:32).
(5) Whoso obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah indeed (4:81).
It is ignorance of Arabic language or misrepresentation of the text of the Quran to say that it regards the great and noble Prophet, who had raised to the highest pinnacles of spiritual glory a whole people, sunk deep in the depths of moral turpitude, and had purified them, liable to commit sins!

Ghafaral-Mata‘a means, he put the goods in the bag and covered and protected them. Ghufran and Maghfirah are both infinitive nouns from Ghafara and mean, protection and preservation. Mighfar means helmet, because it protects the head. Dhamb means, such natural failings or frailties as adhere to human nature or such errors as bring about harmful results. Dhanaba-hu means, he followed his trail, not quitting his track (Lane & Mufradat). Istighfar is not only needed by ordinary believers but also by holy men of God, even by God’s great Prophets. While the former offer Istighfar to seek protection against future sins as well as from the evil consequences of past lapses, the latter seek protection from human shortcomings and weaknesses that may hinder the progress of their cause. The Prophets also are human and though they are immune to sin, yet they, too, are heirs to human failings and frailties; so they also need offering Istighfar 2612A
Dhambaka, means, sins committed against thee; sins alleged by thy enemies to have been committed by thee; thine human shortcomings and frailties. See {2765}.

لَخَلْقُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
依照巴盖维 (بَغْوِی, Baghvi)、伊本•哈纪尔 (اِبْنِ حَجْر, Ibn-e-Hajr,)、其他博学之士和注释家的看法, اَلنَّاس (An-Nas) 这一单词在这节经文中的意思是 دَجَّال (Dajjal, 骗子)。这种解释在穆圣的一句名言中得到了证实。那句话说, “从创造阿丹开始到复生之日, 没有比创造骗子更大的创造了” (布哈理)。
这一圣训指出骗子的强大和能干; 因为他是一个大骗子, 信仰的人受到警告说, 要他们提防受他的魅力和物质光荣所欺骗或吓倒。根据这一圣训, 这节经文的含意看来是, 黑暗势力最大的代表是大骗子, 虽然他们是强大和有势力的, 但不能妨碍伊斯兰教的前进, 而且这种势力最终将被伊斯兰教所战胜。这节经文也可解为: 人类如与安拉所创造的伟大宇宙相比, 真是渺小得很, 但他们却自负和傲慢地不肯响应安拉的号召。
According to learned scholars and Commentators, such as Baghvi, Ibn-e-Hajr and others, the word an-Nas in the verse signifies the Dajjal. This interpretation finds its confirmation in a well-known saying of the Holy Prophet, viz. 'From the creation of Adam to the Day of Resurrection there has not been a greater creation than that of the Dajjal' (Bukhari). This Hadith points to the mightiness and all-powerfulness of the Dajjal; and as he is a great deceiver and beguiler, the Faithful are warned to be on their guard against being deceived or intimidated by his glamour and material glory. In view of this Hadith the implication of the verse seems to be that the forces of darkness, of which the Dajjal is the greatest representative, however, mighty and powerful they may be, will not be able to retard the progress of Islam, and that these forces will eventually be vanquished by it. The verse may also mean that quite insignificant as compared to the great universe
Commentary:
The verse drives home the supreme lesson that false pride has led many a people to their moral undoing. What is man, it purports to say, as compared to the vast universe, that he should refuse to accept the Word of God Who is its sole Creator. The implication of the verse may also be that when God could create heaven and earth, He could also bring man to life after death.
The verse possesses yet another significance. According to learned scholars and commentators, such as Baghvi, Ibn Hajr and others, the word الناس (mankind) in the verse signifies the Dajjal. This interpretation finds its confirmation in a well-known saying of the Holy Prophet, viz.:
ما بین خلق آدم الی قیام الساعة خلق أکبر من الدجال
i.e. from the creation of Adam to the Day of Resurrection there has not been a greater creation than that of the Dajjal (Bukhari). This hadith points to the mightiness and all-powerfulness of the Dajjal; and as he is a great deceiver and beguiler, the Faithful are warned to be on their guard against being deceived or intimidated by his apparent glamour and material glory.

Thus the people of the Holy Prophet are told that with the rising of the spiritual Sun—the Holy Prophet—the time of their ignorance and torpor has passed.

The verse embodies two religious principles: (1) Truth must prevail in the long run, but before success comes to men of God they have to go through severe trials and tribulations and their faith has to be tested and proved up to the mark. (2) Prophecies containing warnings of punishment to disbelievers are conditional and subject to postponement, revocation or even cancellation. The word Ba‘d signifies that not all prophecies containing threats are literally fulfilled. They change with the change in the attitude of disbelievers.
10:47; 13:41; 23:96; 43:43.
Commentary:
The verse refers to two vital principles: (1) Truth must prevail in the long run but before success comes to men of God, they have to go through severe trials and tribulations and their faith has to be tested and proved up to the mark. (2) Prophecies containing warnings of punishment to disbelievers are conditional and subject to postponement, revocation or cancellation. The word بعض (part) signifies that not all prophecies containing threats are literally fulfilled. They change with a change in the attitude of disbelievers. If disbelievers persist in denying and opposing truth they are punished, but if they accept truth, or if they give up opposition and reform themselves, such prophecies are revoked and cancelled.

Though the prophecies containing warnings and threats meant for disbelievers are subject to postponement, revocation or cancellation, yet if, by closing the door of repentance upon themselves, they make themselves deserving of Divine punishment, they are punished.

Commentary:
This and the next two verses contain a great moral lesson for man in relation to cattle and other animals which God has created for his use. The lesson is that man is not the creator of these animals and yet he exercises control over them, whereas God has created man but he refuses to acknowledge God’s control over him or the authority of His Messenger. The verse further seems to imply that when God has taken so much care to provide for the physical needs of man, He could not have ignored to make similar provision for the needs of his soul which are much more important than those of the body.

Important Words:
عربیا (clear, eloquent language) is derived from عرب (‘ariba or ‘aruba). The root meanings of this word denote fulness, abundance and plainness coupled with chasteness. Hence all the words formed from this root express the idea of fulness, abundance and clearness. Thus the words قرآنا عربیا would mean, the Book which is most extensively and regularly read and which expresses its ideas and themes in a most clear, eloquent and comprehensive language.

要概括这 “两天” 的长短是不可能的。它也许可延伸至数千年之久。在 «古兰经» 中, 即使 يَوْم (Yaum, 一天) 也说成是等于一千年 (22:48), 甚至相等于五万年 (70:5)。两天创造大地之说可意指大地在冷却并凝结之后由混沌一团演变成形的两个阶段。
It is not possible to surmise as to the length of these 'two days.' They may have extended over thousands of years. Even in the Qur’an Yaum (day) has been spoken of as equal to a thousand years (22:48), or even equal to fifty thousand years (70:5). The making of the earth in two days may signify the two stages through which the earth passed from a formless matter into a gradually evolved form after it had cooled down and become condensed.
Commentary:
The word یوم (of which the dual is یومین) properly means, time absolutely (see 1:4; 10:4). It is in this sense that the word has been used in this and the next verse. It is not possible to surmise the length of these "two days." They may have extended over thousands of years. Even in the Quran یوم (day) has been spoken of as equal to a thousand years (22:48) or even equal to fifty thousand years (70:5). So یوم (day) in this and the next verse does not denote the day as determined by the rising and setting of the sun. The word denotes time absolutely, or may signify an indefinite period or stage in the development of a thing.
The making of the earth in two days may signify the two stages through which the earth passed from a formless matter into a gradually evolved form after it had cooled down and become condensed.

上一节经文提到大地呈现了现在形状之前必须经过 “两天” 或两个阶段, 这两天或两个阶段包括在这节经文提到的 “四天” 之内, 另外的 “两天” 指大地上安排山岳江河等以及在上面养育动植物的两个阶段。另见第十三节经文。“在那里适当估量了应受供应的许多生活资料,” 这句表示, 大地现在能够而且将来仍旧永远完全能够为生活在上面的所有生物提供食物。
“对于所有追求者都是一样的,” 一语可以表示, 安拉在大地上提供的种种食物, 是所有准备依循自然规律而获得食物的寻求者都可以容易获得的; 它也可以表示, 大地上生产出来的食物可以充分地满足人类一切物质上的需求。因此, 担心某天大地将不能生产足够的粮食来满足迅速增长的世界人口是没有根据的。 “世界能为280亿人即当前世界人口的10倍提供食物、纤维和一切农产品的要求” (牛津大学农业经济研究院主任柯林斯•克拉克)。联合国粮食和农业组织最近还在 «1959年粮食和农业状况» 报告中指出: 世界粮食供应的增长比人口增长快两倍。
اِس آیت سے یہ اشارہ نکلتا ہے کہ ایک زمانہ میں زمین کو پوری غذا پیدا کرنے کے قابل نہیں سمجھا جائے گا۔ مگر اللہ تعالیٰ اس کا رد کرتا ہے اور فرماتا ہے ہم نے زمین میں ایسے سامان پیدا کر دئیے ہیں جن کی وجہ سے وہ حسبِ ضرورت غذا دے گی۔ خواہ زمین سے نکال کر‘ یا نئی غذا کے ایجاد ہونے سے‘ یا آسمانی شعاعوں کی مدد سے۔
مطلب یہ ہے کہ لاکھ آدمی بھی سوال کریں تو ہمارا جواب یہی ہوگا۔ چنانچہ غذا کا مسئلہ دنیا میں کوئی دو سو سال سے مختلف ممالک میں زیر بحث چلا آرہا ہے سب کو اوپر کا جواب پڑھنا چاہیے کہ یہ خداتعالیٰ کا فیصلہ ہے۔ ایک دفعہ مسٹر کپور جو پنجاب یونیورسٹی کے پروفیسر غذا تھے مجھ سے ملنے کے لئے قادیان آئے اور میں نے قرآنی آیات سے ان کو غذا کا معاملہ سمجھایا تو بہت حیران ہوئے اور خواہش کی کہ یہ آیات مجھے لکھ دی جائیں چنانچہ مَیں نے ان کو لکھوا دیں۔
13:4; 15:20; 77:28.
The 'two days' or stages mentioned in the previous verse through which the earth had to pass before it assumed its present form are included among the 'four days' mentioned in the present verse, the additional 'two days' signifying the two stages of the placing on it of mountains, rivers, etc. and the growth on it of vegetable and animal life. See also v. 11. The words, 'provided therein its foods in proper measure,' signify that the earth is and will ever remain to be fully capable of providing food for all the creatures that live on it.
The expression, 'alike for all seekers,' may signify that the foods which God has provided in the earth are equally accessible to all seekers who try to get them according to the laws of nature. It may also mean that all the physical needs and requirements of man have been adequately met in the foods that grow out of earth. So the fear that the earth may not some day be able to grow sufficient food for the fast increasing population of the world is groundless. 'The world can provide food, fibre and all other agricultural requirements for 28 billion people, ten times the world’s present population' (Prof. Cohn Clark, Director of the Agricultural Economics Research Institute of Oxford University). Only recently the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization pointed out in its report, 'The State of Food and Agriculture, 1959,' that the world’s food supply grows twice as fast as its population.

Important Words:
اقواتھا (its foods) is the plural of قوت (qut) which is derived from قات which means, he fed, nourished or sustained or fed with what would sustain the body. أقات علی الشیء means, he had power or ability to do the thing. أقاته means, he guarded or protected him. قوت means, provision, food, sustenance, etc. (Lane & Aqrab).

这节经文表示, 宇宙万物都服从某些规律, 并遵循、依照这些规律活动。宇宙万物没有斟酌决定的自由, 只有人类赋有这种自由或意志, 以服从或反抗真主的指令, 但人类常利用了这种自由而遭殃。这也是经文33:73中的含意。
Kurhan or Karhan in both forms is infinitive-noun from Kariha (he disliked), the former (Kurhan) meaning, what you yourself do not like and the latter (Karhan) meaning, what you are compelled to do against your will by someone else. Fa‘ala-hu Karhan means, he did it unwillingly (Lane).
The verse signifies that everything in the universe is subject to certain laws which it obeys and according to which it works. It has no discretion. It is man alone who has been endowed with volition or discretion to obey or defy the Divine laws and it is not unoften that he uses his discretion to his detriment. This is also the meaning and significance of 33:73.

دخان (smoke) is infinitive-noun from دخن. They say دخنت النار i.e. the fire sent up smoke. دخان means, smoke or gaseous matter; evil or mischief, dearth, drought, sterility; hunger (Lane & Aqrab).

They say کرہ الشیء (kariha) i.e. he did not desire, disapproved, disliked, hated or loathed the thing. أکرھه علی الامر means, he compelled him to do the thing against his will. کرھا (kurhan and karhan) in both forms is infinitive-noun from کرہ, the former کرھا i.e. (kurhan) meaning, what you yourself do not like and the latter (karhan) meaning, what you are compelled to do against your will by someone else. فعله کرھا (karhan) means, he did it unwillingly (Lane & Aqrab).

The purport of the verse seems to be that when the vast and orderly universe, of which the earth forms but a small part, and the planets and satellites of which the universe is composed have been created for the service of man, it is inconceivable that man for whom everything was brought into existence, should have been created without a purpose. His life has a grim purpose and a great mission. He has been created to develop and manifest in himself, on human scale, Divine attributes in order to prove himself to be God’s vicegerent on earth. To help him to achieve this supreme and noble object, God sent His Messengers. These Divine Messengers came to all peoples in different periods of time. Invariably they were rejected by their peoples and the rejecters met with a sad fate. The Holy Prophet is asked to warn his own people that if they rejected and opposed him, they, too, will meet with no better fate. The verse under comment cites the examples of ‘Ad and Thamud who by rejecting their Prophets incurred God’s displeasure and punishment.

The very high standard of good moral conduct referred to in the preceding verse can only be attained by putting up, without grumbling or fretting, with hardships one has to face in the way of God. And fortunate, indeed, is the person who disciplines himself to such a high standard.
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

Commentary:
نزع meaning, an evil suggestion or mischief, the verse purports to say that evil-minded people always try to put obstacles in the way of truth and incite men of satanic nature against one who preaches the truth to them. It enjoins all preachers of truth to seek God’s protection and pray to Him for help and succour when such an ugly situation faces them. See also 7:201 and 22:53.

خاشعة (withered) is the feminine of خاشع which is active participle from خشع which means, he was or became humble or submissive. خشعت الشمس means, the sun was about to set or it became eclipsed. خشع الورق means, the leaves withered. خشعت الارض means, the earth became dried up, not having been rained upon (Lane & Aqrab).
For اھتزت and ربت see 22:6.
Commentary:
The verse after pointing to a well-known law of nature that when earth becomes dry and parched for lack of rain, God sends down water and it begins to bloom and blossom, draws attention to the fact that as the world had become morally and spiritually parched for want of spiritual rain, God revealed the Quran to give it a new life.

The expression, They are being called from a far-off place, signifies that on the Day of Judgment the disbelievers will not be allowed to approach the Throne of the Almighty, but will be called from a far-off place to render an account of their evil deeds. It may also mean that the disbelievers have shut their ears to the Qur’an, and refuse to ponder over it, so it has become as unintelligible to them as an indistinct and confused voice that a person hears from a far-off place.
