About Surah Al-Muddaththir

Circumstance of Revelation.
The period of time during which there was a temporary break of
revelation is termed as fatrat-al-wahy( ‫فطرة‬‫الوحى‬ ) .
Toward the end of this period, an incident took place that is
recounted by the Holy Prophet(saw) thus!
While I was walking , I heard a voice from the sky and saw the same
angel who had come to me in the cave of Hira.
He was sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. So I got
scared and fell on the ground then I went to family and said (“wrap
me up, wrap me up” ‫)زملونى,زملونى‬
So they wrapped me up!
Allah(swt) revealed the initial verses of Surah Al-Muddathir.

Section-2
Instructions to the prophet for
commencing prophetic mission
verses (1-7) refer to the preliminary
instructions given to the prophet(saw)
to begin the work related to preaching,
propagation and human
reform(prophetic mission)

‫ا‬َ‫ي‬‫ا‬َ‫ه‬ُّ‫ي‬َ‫أ‬‫ر‬ِّ‫َّث‬‫د‬ُ‫م‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
74:1)O Muddaththir (the one enveloped - one of the nicknames
of Prophet Muhammad)!
The word Al-Muddaththir is derived from dithar “ ‫”دثار‬ which
refers to a thick warm over garment(shawl). The form of
address is affectionate. Al-mighty addressed prophet(saw)
Muzammil and muddathir to show his love and affection and to
provide comfort that Allah is aware of his circumstance and
surely will alleviate his worries.
‫ر‬ِّ‫َّث‬‫د‬ُ‫م‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
Who covers himself
‫ا‬َ‫ي‬‫ا‬َ‫ه‬ُّ‫ي‬َ‫أ‬
O-you
Section-2

The following are the six injunctions given to the prophet(saw) to
perform the great mission of prophet hood.
The 1st Injunction
(Arise and Warn)
ُْ‫م‬ُ‫ق‬ُْ‫ِّر‬‫ذ‬ْ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬َ‫ف‬
74:2)Stand up and warn.
ُْ‫ِّر‬‫ذ‬ْ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬َ‫ف‬
And warn
ُْ‫م‬ُ‫ق‬
Stand up
Section-2

Analysis:
• This was the first occasion when the prophet(saw) had been
commanded to arise for performing the duties of the great mission.
• The verses mean : O who you wrapped up , get ready and warn the
people , who are in heedlessness.
• A similar type of commanded was given to the prophet Nuh(a.s)
while appointing him to the office of prophethood as detailed in
(71:1) below.
Section-2

Point Of Reflection
• How much Quran was revealed between the first
revelation(surah Iqra 96) and this surah None: first command
to read and after that was arise and warn. This means we
can't wait for years until we begin warning people it is our
responsibility to get the people connected to Allah through
his revelation.
‫بلغوا‬‫عني‬‫ولو‬‫آية‬
The prophet said:
“convey from me even one ayah of the Quran”
Section-2

• At the time of revelation of this ayah, there were only
handful of Muslim and the majority were disbelievers.
• Prophet was instructed to warn the people who were living
in heedlessness. warn them that the life of this word is a
transient and there is a life after death and they will meet
their lord and render him account of their deeds, based on
that they will rewarded or punished, they are not free in this
life. They have to follow the command of Allah.
Section-2

Similarly in the other surah of the Quran
Allah(swt) tells about the manners of preaching
ُْ‫ِّر‬‫ذ‬ْ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬َ‫و‬َُ‫ك‬َ‫ت‬َ‫ير‬ِّ‫ش‬َ‫ع‬َُ‫ين‬ِّ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬ْ‫ق‬َ ْ‫اْل‬
26:214)Admonish your close relatives.
َُ‫ِّر‬‫ذ‬ْ‫ن‬ُ‫ت‬ِّ‫ل‬‫ا‬ً‫م‬ ْ‫و‬َ‫ق‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬َُ‫ِّر‬‫ذ‬ْ‫ن‬ُ‫أ‬ُْ‫م‬ُ‫ه‬ُ‫ؤ‬‫ا‬َ‫ب‬‫آ‬ُْ‫م‬ُ‫ه‬َ‫ف‬َُ‫ون‬ُ‫ل‬ِّ‫ف‬‫ا‬َ‫غ‬
36:6)So that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not
warned, hence they are unaware.
َُ‫ِّر‬‫ذ‬ْ‫ن‬ُ‫ت‬ِّ‫ل‬َُّ‫م‬ُ‫أ‬ُ‫ى‬َ‫ر‬ُ‫ق‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬ُْ‫ن‬َ‫م‬َ‫و‬‫ا‬َ‫ه‬َ‫ل‬ ْ‫و‬َ‫ح‬
42:7)so that you may warn the residents of the Mother City
(Makkah) and its suburbs.
ُْ‫ِّر‬‫ذ‬ْ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬َ‫و‬ُِّ‫ه‬ِّ‫ب‬َُ‫ِّين‬‫ذ‬َّ‫ل‬‫ا‬َُ‫ون‬ُ‫ف‬‫ا‬َ‫خ‬َ‫ي‬ُْ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬‫وا‬ُ‫َر‬‫ش‬ْ‫ح‬ُ‫ي‬ُ‫ى‬َ‫ل‬ِّ‫إ‬ُْ‫م‬ِّ‫ه‬ِّ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬ُۙ
6:51)O Muhammad, admonish with this (The Qur'an), those who
have the fear of being assembled before their Rabb.
Section-2

َُ‫ر‬ِّ‫ش‬َ‫ب‬ُ‫ت‬ِّ‫ل‬ُِّ‫ه‬ِّ‫ب‬َُ‫ين‬ِّ‫ق‬َّ‫ت‬ُ‫م‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬َُ‫ِّر‬‫ذ‬ْ‫ن‬ُ‫ت‬َ‫و‬ُِّ‫ه‬ِّ‫ب‬‫ا‬ً‫م‬ ْ‫و‬َ‫ق‬‫ًّا‬‫د‬ُ‫ل‬
19:97)so that you may give good news to the righteous and
warn the headstrong contentious folk.
Section-2

I. Source and content of Dawah
ُُْۙ‫ر‬ِّ‫ك‬َ‫ذ‬َ‫ف‬ُِّ‫آن‬ْ‫ر‬ُ‫ق‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬ِّ‫ب‬ُْ‫ن‬َ‫م‬ُُ‫اف‬َ‫خ‬َ‫ي‬‫يد‬ِّ‫ع‬َ‫و‬

(Proclaim the greatness of your Lord)
َُ‫ك‬َّ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬َ‫و‬ُْ‫ر‬ِّ‫َب‬‫ك‬َ‫ف‬
74:3)Proclaim the greatness of your Rabb.
Analysis:
• The belief of tawhid(ones of Allah) is the fundamental in the
preaching mission of all the prophets of God.
• This declaration of proclamation of God’s greatness and
exaltedness alone in a society, which is was dominated by
the polytheistic Arab, was no less than inviting the wrath and
anger of the whole society.
‫ر‬ِّ‫َب‬‫ك‬َ‫ف‬
Magnify
‫ك‬َّ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬
Your Lord
Section-2

3rd Injunction
(Purify your Garment)
َُ‫ك‬َ‫ب‬‫ا‬َ‫ي‬ِّ‫ث‬َ‫و‬‫ر‬ِّ‫ه‬َ‫ط‬َ‫ف‬
74:4)purify your clothes.
Analysis:
• The verse signifies that Allah(swt) commanded the messenger to clean
himself and his garment.
• Ibn Zayd said: from all kind of physical impurities.
“the idolater would not clean themselves, so Allah(swt) commanded him
to clean himself and his garments.
‫ر‬ِّ‫ه‬َ‫ط‬َ‫ف‬
purify
َُ‫ك‬َ‫ب‬‫ا‬َ‫ي‬ِّ‫ث‬
Your clothing
Section-2

Islam introduces high standard of purify and cleanliness, to the
extent it is considered a part of the belief.
Quran:
َُّ‫ن‬ِّ‫إ‬َُ َّ‫اّلل‬ُُّ‫ب‬ ِّ‫ح‬ُ‫ي‬َُ‫ين‬ِّ‫ب‬‫ا‬َّ‫و‬َّ‫ت‬‫ال‬ُُّ‫ب‬ ِّ‫ح‬ُ‫ي‬َ‫و‬َُ‫ين‬ ِّ‫ر‬ِّ‫ه‬َ‫ط‬َ‫ت‬ُ‫م‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
2:222)Surely Allah loves those who turn to Him in repentance
and keep themselves clean.
Hadith:
‫الطهور‬‫شطر‬‫اإليمان‬
The Cleanliness is half the faith.
Section-2

4th Injunction
(stay away from idols)
َُ‫ز‬ْ‫ج‬ُّ‫الر‬َ‫و‬‫ر‬ُ‫ج‬ْ‫ه‬‫ا‬َ‫ف‬
74:5)keep yourself away from uncleanliness.
Analysis:
• The verse enjoins to abstains from idol-worship.
• The command is addressed to Holy Prophet but the real
audience was the leaders of Quraysh.
• Ali bin Abi Talha reported from Ibn Abbas,
َُ‫ز‬ْ‫ج‬ُّ‫الر‬are idols so keep away from them.
‫ر‬ُ‫ج‬ْ‫ه‬‫ا‬َ‫ف‬
Avoid
َُ‫ز‬ْ‫ج‬ُّ‫الر‬
Uncleanliness or
impurity
Section-2

5th Injunction
(No Slackness in your Work)
َُ‫ل‬َ‫و‬ُْ‫ن‬ُ‫ن‬ْ‫م‬َ‫ت‬‫ر‬ِّ‫ث‬ْ‫ك‬َ‫ت‬ْ‫س‬َ‫ت‬
74:6)do not favor others to expect a gain.
Analysis:
• The word “ ‫ن‬ُ‫ن‬ْ‫م‬َ‫ت‬” means to become weak “do not slacken in seeking more
good.”
• The verse implies that the prophet should continue to discharge the
responsibility of warning his people without showing any slackness and
should never suspend it thinking that he has done a lot.
• Another meaning of this ayah:
Do not oblige people and try to obtain personal benefit from it.
‫ر‬ِّ‫ث‬ْ‫ك‬َ‫ت‬ْ‫س‬َ‫ت‬
To get more
َُ‫ل‬َ‫و‬
And do not
ُْ‫ن‬ُ‫ن‬ْ‫م‬َ‫ت‬

Section-2

6th Injunction
(Observe patience and forbearance )
َُ‫ك‬ِّ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬ِّ‫ل‬َ‫و‬ُْ‫ر‬ِّ‫ب‬ْ‫ص‬‫ا‬َ‫ف‬

ُْ‫ر‬ِّ‫ب‬ْ‫ص‬‫ا‬َ‫ف‬
Be patient
َُ‫ك‬ِّ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬ِّ‫ل‬َ‫و‬
For your Lord
Section-2

Analysis:
• The word “ ‫ر‬ِّ‫ب‬ْ‫ص‬” means to restrain oneself and in the
Quranic context, it has a very comprehensive and wide
meaning.
• The prophet is being forewarned to observe the patience for
the sake of Your Lord, because the work of preaching and
propagation is full of hardship and difficulties.
• A time will come when he will have to encounter stiff
opposition from his own people and he will have to carry out
his duties of propagation with patience and perseverance.

of the Quran by accusing the following:
• This is magic that Muhammad(saw) received from those who were
before him, and he is merely saying what he got from them.

• It means that it is not the word of Allah(swt).
Point of Reflection
• The reason on account of which the leader of Quraysh often called the
Quran to be magic. When it no longer was possible for them to deny its
miraculous eloquence and its potent influence , they embarked upon
propaganda campaign against it so that common people were led to
believe it was not divine words.

ُِّ‫ه‬‫ي‬ِّ‫ل‬ْ‫ص‬ُ‫أ‬َ‫س‬َُ‫ر‬َ‫ق‬َ‫س‬
74:26)Soon I shall cast him into Saqar.
Analysis:
• The word “ َُ‫ر‬َ‫ق‬َ‫س‬” is from the root word[ ‫س‬‫ق‬‫ر‬ ] and it means to
injure by heat, to burn or to melt.
• The word “” ُُ‫ر‬َ‫ق‬َ‫س‬is mentioned in the Quran four times, one in surah
Al-Qamar and three in surah Al-Muddathir.
• Here it is used in the context of hell fire and its intensity.
• The verse depict the fate of such an arrogant person, he will be
thrown into the hell fire, which will engulf him from all sides.

Analysis:
• The verse is an expression of the horrific nature of the hell.
• The Hell and its punishments are not ordinary thing that can be
imagined in the world.
• This is mentioned to frighten the mankind about the severity of the
matter, and to be taken seriously.

Analysis:
• The verses refer to the fire of hell that it will eat their flesh, veins,
nerves and skins.
• They will never die nor live in this condition and they will continue
to receive this punishment for ever.

Analysis:
• The verse refers to that Allah(swt) has appointed 19 angels
as a guardians of hell, who are stern and harsh in their
character.

‫ا‬َ‫ه‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬
Over it
Section-6

Background:
1) When the arrogant leaders of Quraysh heard that only
nineteen angels are deputed over hell as guardian.
2) They reckon that such non sensual thing can’t be attributed
to God and the person who is ascribing such thing to God is
not a prophet.
3) They mocked the sentence to erode the credibility of the
Quran and the prophet(saw).
Section-6

Reactions of Leader of Quraysh:
• Abu- Jahl a leader of Quraysh upon hearing this number(nineteen
angels, as guardian of Hell) said,
“o people of Quraysh! Are not ten among you able to
defeat one of them.”
• Imam Baihaqi records a narrative from suddi(rta) that when ayah 30
was revealed, a disbelieving Quraysh Abu Al –Ashaddayan said, “O-
nation I am alone sufficient for the nineteen, I will take care of ten
with my right arm and nine with my left arm, thus I will put an end
to All nineteen.”

74:31)We have appointed none but angels as wardens of the fire; and
We have made their number a trial for the unbelievers, so that the
People of the Book may be convinced and the faith of the true
believers may be increased, and that no doubts will be left for the
People of the Book and the believers, and that those in whose hearts
there is a disease and the disbelievers may say: "What could Allah
mean by this parable?" Thus, Allah leaves to stray whom He wills and
guides whom He pleases. No one knows the forces of your Rabb except
Himself, and this (Qur'an) is nothing but a reminder to mankind.

Analysis:
• We have mentioned their numbers as being nineteen as a test for disbeliever.
The test is to determine that:

• So that those who have been endowed with the book
[people of book mean Jews and Christian]will be convinced.

speak according to the same thing that they have with them
of heavenly revealed books, that came to the prophets

Analysis:
• This increases and strengthen the faith of the believers.
• This is due to what they witness from the truthfulness of the
information of their prophet, Mohammad(saw
• This is the reason why the faith of the believers is reinforced is
because they are able to fully evaluate that objection of the
opponent carry no weight.

Analysis:
• Here it should be noted that the true and sincere people of the book
are also mentioned besides the Muslim believers.
• It means no doubt may be left for the people of scripture and the
Muslim believers.
• Also to distinguish true believers from the people of book(jews and
Christians) and Muslim faith.

Analysis:
• What is implied here by the disease of the heart is the disease of the
doubt.
Such a thing:
• That only 19 angels will be the guardians of hell, while the inmates
of hell will be in millions and billions) The disbelievers and
hypocrites doubt that only 19 angels can not control such a huge
masses in the hell. What they actually meant was: a discourse which
contained such an irrational and impossible information could not
be a revelation of from the God.

Analysis:
• The implication of the above sentence is the that by putting people
through such trials and tests.
– The almighty leads astray whom he wills by way of example, they are shaken.
– And guides whom he wants by way example faith become firm in the heart of
the believer.
• Every wish and intention of God is governed by his wisdom and his
wisdom is based on his immense knowledge.
– He leads only those people astray whom he finds worthy of this treatment.
– And he guides those people , who are worthy of being guided.

Similarly in the other Surah of the Quran
Allah says about the parable/ similitude and its purpose.
َُّ‫ن‬ِّ‫إ‬َُ َّ‫اّلل‬َُ‫ل‬‫ي‬ِّ‫ي‬ْ‫ح‬َ‫ت‬ْ‫س‬َ‫ي‬ُْ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬َُ‫ب‬ ِّ‫ر‬ْ‫ض‬َ‫ي‬ًُ‫ّل‬َ‫ث‬َ‫م‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬ًُ‫ة‬َ‫ض‬‫و‬ُ‫ع‬َ‫ب‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬َ‫ف‬‫ا‬َ‫ه‬َ‫ق‬ ْ‫و‬َ‫ف‬ُۙ‫ا‬َّ‫م‬َ‫أ‬َ‫ف‬َُ‫ِّين‬‫ذ‬َّ‫ل‬‫ا‬‫وا‬ُ‫ن‬َ‫م‬‫آ‬َُ‫ي‬َ‫ف‬َُ‫ون‬ُ‫م‬َ‫ل‬ْ‫ع‬

2:26)Allah does not mind using the similitude of a gnat or an
even more insignificant creature to teach a lesson. Those who
believe know that it is the truth from their Rabb; but the
unbelievers say: "What does Allah mean by such a similitude?"
By such a similitude Allah confounds many and enlightens
many. He confounds none except the transgressors:

Section-6

Analysis:
• The verse 31 was revealed in response to the mockery of the
Leaders of Quraysh about the nineteen guardians of Hell.
They are warned that,
• They have no idea about the size and power of Allah’s soldiers,
who are strong in their creation and can’t be defeated.
• The angels are soldiers of Allah and they are stern and harsh in
their character and carry out Allah’s command without disobeying
him.
• No one Knows the exact number of Allah’s soldiers, Except
Allah(swt).
Section-6

Hadith:
Hadith that is reported in the two sahihain that the messenger of
Allah said in describing the frequented house(Al-Bayt AL-Ma’mur),
which is in the seventh heaven,
Seventy thousand angels enter into it every day and they don’t
return to it as it is all that is due upon them(one visit in their
lifetime).

Analysis:
• It means that the purpose of narrating the details of the hell
and its punishment is nothing but a reminder to mankind.
• The sentence admonishes people to wake up and take heed
before they make themselves worthy of the hell and suffer
its punishment.

Section-6

Point of Reflection:
• As far as the details of paradise and Hell are concerned, They
are category of Mutashabihat of which reality and
knowledge are only know to Allah.
• The true form and reality of all unseen things(such Allah,
Angel, Jinn, paradise , Hell and the day of judgement) will
become apparent on the day of judgement.
• In such a matter, the right attitude that a believer should
adopt is to believe in it, with a firm conviction, whatever
Almighty has conveyed through the Quran and authentic
Hadith.

Analysis:
• Allah(swt) has sworn an oath of its greatest visible creations(the moon,
day and night which are witnessed and acknowledged by every human
being on daily basis.
• Oath mentioned in the Quran are meant to prove claim, which is generally
stated after the oath and is called the object of oath or Jawab ul Qasam.

• It is being emphasized that as the moon, the day and night
are realities and you witness them everyday, similarly hell
and its punishment are realities, that you are going to see.

74:37)to any of you who chooses to go forward or to lag behind.
Analysis:
• “ َُ‫م‬َّ‫د‬َ‫ق‬َ‫ت‬َ‫ي‬” means come forward.
It signifies coming toward faith & obedience.
• “ َُ‫ر‬َّ‫خ‬َ‫أ‬َ‫ت‬َ‫ي‬” means lag behind.

– Either to become grateful and obedient by accepting the
truth and guidance.
– Or become ungrateful and disobedient by rejecting the
truth and guidance.
• But he is also warned that your choice will carry a heavy
Consequences:
– Whoever wishes to accept the warning and be guided to
the truth, he will move forward to perform good deeds to
earn paradise.
– Whoever holds back from accepting the truth and reject
it, will be punished in the hell.

Section-8

Analysis:
• Every soul is pledged with Allah for his deeds,
– if the deeds are good he is protected from the punishment of
hell,
– if the deeds are bad , he will be destroyed and punished.
• Every person on the day of judgment will be detained in lieu of his
sin except those who will be given their book of deeds in their right
hand.
• The people of right are those who have fulfilled the right of Allah
and the right of people in their worldly life.
Section-8

Section-8

Analysis:
• At several places in the Quran , it has been stated that the
dwellers of paradise and the dwellers of hell will be able to
see and communicate each other whenever they will so
desire.
• The verse implies that the people of right hand while sitting
in their lofty rooms of paradise, will ask the criminals, who
will be in the lowest level of hell “ ‫ا‬َ‫م‬ُْ‫م‬ُ‫ك‬َ‫ك‬َ‫ل‬َ‫س‬‫ي‬ِّ‫ف‬َُ‫ر‬َ‫ق‬َ‫س‬ ”
“What has caused you to enter hell?”
Section-8

(The reply of criminal to the people of right)
The first crime:
(didn’t pray)
‫وا‬ُ‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫ق‬ُْ‫م‬َ‫ل‬ُُ‫ك‬َ‫ن‬َُ‫ن‬ِّ‫م‬َُ‫ين‬ِّ‫ل‬َ‫ص‬ُ‫م‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
74:43)They will answer: "We did not use to offer the Salah
(prayers),
َُ‫ين‬ِّ‫ل‬َ‫ص‬ُ‫م‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
Those who prayed
ُْ‫م‬َ‫ل‬
Not
Section-8

Analysis:
• The people of hell will reply that we were not those who
used to offer their prayers”.
• It should be noted here that, they didn’t say that “we were
those who didn’t have faith” rather neglecting prayer is the
cause of admittance to hell fire.
• All prophets call their people to perform prayer, it is the right
of Allah on the mankind.
Section-8

2nd crime:
(didn’t feed the poor)
ُْ‫م‬َ‫ل‬َ‫و‬ُُ‫ك‬َ‫ن‬ُُ‫م‬ِّ‫ع‬ْ‫ط‬ُ‫ن‬‫ين‬ِّ‫ك‬ْ‫س‬ِّ‫م‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
74:44)we did not use to feed the poor,
Analysis:
• They will say that were not among these who used to feed the
poors.
• While the feeding of poor is instrumental in establishing a person's
relationship with fellow human being.
• Ignoring the rights of Allah’s servants makes one worthy deserving
to end up in hell.

3rd Crime:
(wasted time in vain activities)
‫ا‬َّ‫ن‬ُ‫ك‬َ‫و‬ُُ‫وض‬ُ‫خ‬َ‫ن‬َُ‫ع‬َ‫م‬‫ين‬ ِّ‫ض‬ِّ‫ئ‬‫ا‬َ‫خ‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
74:45)we used to join those who wasted their time in vain talk.
Analysis:
• They confessed that they were not being conscience of the company that
they kept and how they spent their time.
• They were indulged in mocking the Islam along with those who were
speaking false hood without any knowledge.
• They were wasting time in committing sins and frivolous and foolish talk
and activities, which made them worthy of hell.
‫ين‬ ِّ‫ض‬ِّ‫ئ‬‫ا‬َ‫خ‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
The vain talker
‫ا‬َّ‫ن‬ُ‫ك‬
We used to
َُ‫ع‬َ‫م‬
with
ُُ‫وض‬ُ‫خ‬َ‫ن‬
Indulge in vain talk
Section-8

Point of Reflection
This ayah highlight two important elements of life:
1) Time
2) Bad company
• We shouldn’t waste time in foolish talk and vain activities .
• We should spend time doing good deeds that please Allah.
• We should join good company.
Section-8

4th crime:
(Denied the day of judgement)
‫ا‬َّ‫ن‬ُ‫ك‬َ‫و‬ُُ‫ِّب‬‫َذ‬‫ك‬ُ‫ن‬ُِّ‫م‬ ْ‫و‬َ‫ي‬ِّ‫ب‬‫ِّين‬‫الد‬
74:46) and we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
ُ‫ى‬َّ‫ت‬َ‫ح‬‫ا‬َ‫ن‬‫ا‬َ‫ت‬َ‫أ‬ُُ‫ين‬ِّ‫ق‬َ‫ي‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
74:48) until death overtook us.“

We used to
ُِّ‫م‬ ْ‫و‬َ‫ي‬ِّ‫ب‬
The day
ُُ‫ِّب‬‫َذ‬‫ك‬ُ‫ن‬
deny
Section-8

Analysis:
• They confessed that they used to deny the day of judgment
until they were overtaken by death.
• The real meaning of the word “ ‫”يقين‬ is certainty.
• The word “ ‫”يقين‬ also means death in Quranic text. Since after
death, all post death facts become evident to a person and
he is forced to acknowledge their certainty, for this reason,
the death is also called “ ‫.”يقين‬
• All Unseen things(Allah, Angels, Jinn's, paradise, hell, day of
judgment and its punishment) will become apparent on the
day of judgment.
Section-8

‫ا‬َ‫م‬َ‫ف‬ُْ‫م‬ُ‫ه‬ُ‫ع‬َ‫ف‬ْ‫ن‬َ‫ت‬ُُ‫َة‬‫ع‬‫ا‬َ‫ف‬َ‫ش‬‫ين‬ِّ‫ع‬ِّ‫ف‬‫َّا‬‫ش‬‫ال‬
74:48) On that Day, no intercession of any intercessors shall profit them.
Analysis:
Verse implies that…
• Even if an intercessor tries to intercede a person who is guilty of the
above crimes and he doesn’t repent before death, will not be forgiven.
• This is because the intercession is only useful if the conditions for it are
met.
[The details of the concept of intercession is explain in ayah for
tadabbur section of this surah]

The causes of disbelievers not

verses (49-53) highlight the
causes of disbelievers for not
affirming faith.

1) Hatred with Quran

admonition?
Analysis:
• The word “ ُِّ‫ة‬َ‫ر‬ِّ‫ك‬ْ‫ذ‬َّ‫ت‬‫”ال‬ in this context refers to the Quran.
• The verses express wonder on the attitude of disbelievers, who
instead of benefitting from the Quran are running away from it.

Analysis:
• The word “ ‫ة‬َ‫ر‬َ‫و‬ْ‫س‬َ‫ق‬” means a lion. And the word “ ُ‫ر‬ُ‫م‬ُ‫ح‬” mean a wild donkey.
The verse refer to the intense aversion of the disbelievers from the Quran,
who run away from the truth.
• This is an example of their state of affair as if they are wild donkey, fleeing
from a lion.
• It mean that they are so afraid of this reminder that they don’t want to
listen even a single word of it.

Analysis:
This ayat below from Surah Al- an'am explains the above ayah(52)
(Similarly in the other surah of the Quran)
‫ا‬َ‫ذ‬ِ‫إ‬َ‫و‬ْْ‫م‬ُ‫ه‬ْ‫ت‬َ‫ء‬‫ا‬َ‫ج‬ْ‫ة‬َ‫ي‬‫آ‬‫وا‬ُ‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫ق‬ْْ‫ن‬َ‫ل‬َْ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ْ‫ؤ‬ُ‫ن‬ْ‫ى‬َّ‫ت‬َ‫ح‬ْ‫ى‬َ‫ت‬ْ‫ؤ‬ُ‫ن‬َْ‫ل‬ْ‫ث‬ِ‫م‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬َْ‫ي‬ِ‫ت‬‫و‬ُ‫أ‬ُْ‫ل‬ُ‫س‬ُ‫ر‬ِْ َّ‫اّلل‬
6:124)Whenever there comes to them a sign (verses of The Qur'an)
they say: "We shall not believe until we are given directly that which is
given to the Rasools of Allah." 124

Section-9
affirming faith

• This is an excuse crafted by the disbelievers to escape from
this reminder(Holy Quran).
• They are bold and audacious to make unjustified demand of
a book like Quran to reveal to them as Allah revealed to the
Prophet.

3) Fearless of hereafter

74:53)But no! The fact is that they do not fear the Hereafter.
Analysis:
• The verse states the reason of the disbelievers not affirming the
faith.
• They will come up with new excuses and new demands because
they are fearless of the hereafter and don’t believe in its occurrence
and the reward and the punishment.
• Their disbelief In the hereafter has made them irresponsible and
fearless.

Section-10

Analysis:
• Truly the Quran is a reminder for whoever want to take heed.
• The law of God about providing guidance to the people is that he
guides to those:
– Who uses their faculties of sight, hearing and intellect.
– Who reflect on the signs of God within them and in the universe
around them.
– Who value the guidance.
– Who are ready to hear and understand every reasonable
argument mentioned in the Quran.
Section-10

The dominance of Allah’s Will

Section-10

The sentence “ ‫ا‬َ‫م‬َ‫و‬َُ‫ون‬ُ‫ُر‬‫ك‬ْ‫ذ‬َ‫ي‬َُّ‫ل‬ِّ‫إ‬ُْ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬َُ‫ء‬‫َا‬‫ش‬َ‫ي‬ُُ َّ‫اّلل‬ ” can be best interpreted by the
following ayah.
(similarly in the other surah of the Quran)
‫ا‬َ‫م‬َ‫و‬َُ‫ون‬ُ‫ء‬‫َا‬‫ش‬َ‫ت‬َُّ‫ل‬ِّ‫إ‬ُْ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬َُ‫ء‬‫َا‬‫ش‬َ‫ي‬ُُ َّ‫اّلل‬ُُّ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬‫ين‬ِّ‫م‬َ‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫ع‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
81:29)Yet your wishes are of no avail unless Allah, the Rabb of the
worlds, pleases so.
• Only man’s desiring to have a guidance is not enough for him to
have a guidance he receives guidance only when the will of God
combine with the will of man,(means when Allah also takes decision
to fulfill man’s desire/ wish or will).
• Because Allah’s will is based on the knowledge and wisdom.

Analysis:
• The surah concludes with a reminder that Allah is the only
one worthy of being feared and asked for forgiveness.
• Allah is powerful and capable to forgive the sin of whoever
turns to him in repentance.

Allah’s Intercession:
The Prophet(saw) said:
“ So the prophets, the angels and the believer will intercede, and
the comelier(Allah) will say, ‘ Three remains my intercession’.
Then he will take a handful from the fire and bring forth some
people whose bodies have been burnt and throw them into a
river at the entrance to paradise that is called the water of life.,
They will grow on its bank, as a seed carried by a flood grows.
You have seen it grows beside a rock or beside a tree and how
the side facing sun is usually green while the side facing the
shade is white.
They will come out like a pearls and necklace will be placed
around their neck.
Section-11
Ayah for Tadabbur

Then they will enter paradise and the people of paradise will
say, “these people are emancipated by the most merciful. He
has admitted them into paradise without them having done
any good deeds and without them having done any good
deeds and without them having sent forth any good (for
themselves).”
Then it will be said to them , you will have what you have seen
and the equivalent thereof.”
