Surah Al-Aķkaf : 46 : 21 - 28
'A'ishah Lis Ul b), as narrated in Sahip of Bukhari. The fact of the
matter is that the verse is general in sense, and there is no correct
narration which states this verse to hold true for a particular person.
You have consumed your good things in your") أَذْهَبْتُمُ طَيِّبْتِكُمُ فِىُ حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا
worldly life - 46:20), It means that the infidels will be told that they had
already been awarded delights, luxuries and enjoyment in the worldly life
for whatever good deeds they had done there; now there is nothing left
for them in the Hereafter. It is known from this verse that the good deeds
of disbelievers do not have any worth in the Hereafter due to lack of belief
or faith, but Allah Ta'ala compensates them in this world. The riches and
wealth, honour and dignity, etc., which are enjoyed by disbelievers in this
world are all recompense for their good deeds, benevolence, sympathy,
truthfulness, etc. This rule does not apply to Mu'mins (believers) that if
they get any delights, riches and wealth in this world, they would be
deprived of their right in the Hereafter.
Incentive for avoiding worldly delights and luxuries
The punishment stated in this verse for the disbelievers is because of
their being engrossed in worldly enjoyments. So, the Holy Prophet 33, his
noble companions
b and Tabiin رحمهم الله تعالى had made it a habit to
avoid worldly enjoyments, as is evident from their lives. The Holy Prophet
had charged Sayyidna Mu'adh
, when sending him to Yemen, to
keep on avoiding the luxuries of this world. Sayyidna 'Ali dee has reported
the Holy Prophet
saying that one who is happy with Allah Ta'ala
giving him scanty sustenance finds Allah Ta'ala also happy at his meager
deeds. (Mazhari from al-Baghawi)

And remember the brother of (the nation of) 'Ad, when
he warned his people at the long, curved sand-dunes
while many warners have passed before him and after
him (with the same message)_saying, "Do not worship
anyone except Allah. Surely I fear for you the
punishment of a terrible day. [21] They said, "Have you
come to make us deviate from our gods. So bring us that
with which you are threatening us, if you are truthful."
[22] He said, "The knowledge is with Allah alone, and I
am conveying to you what I am sent with, but I see that
you are a people who behave ignorantly." [23] So, when
they saw it, in the form of a cloud proceeding towards
their valleys, they said, "This is a cloud that will bring
us rain." No, it is what you asked to come soon __ a wind
in which there is a painful punishment, [24] that will
destroy every thing with the command of its Lord! So
they became such that nothing remained to be seen
except their dwelling places. This is how We punish the
guilty people. [25] And indeed We had established them
in a powerful position in which We did not establish
you, and had given to them ears and eyes and hearts,
but neither their ears availed them in the least, nor
their eyes, nor their hearts, as they used to reject
Allah's signs; and they were encircled by what they

804
Surah Al-Akaf : 46 : 21 - 28
used to ridicule. [26] And We have (also) destroyed
(other) towns around you'll while We had given to them
a variety of signs, so that they might return (from
disbelief). [27] So, why were they not helped by those
whom they had taken as gods, instead of Allah, to
achieve closeness (to Him)? Instead, they vanished from
them. And (in fact) it was their lie and something they
used to forge. [28]
Commentary
These verses are to remind the infidels of the severe punishments
faced by earlier people who rejected the messengers sent to them. Special
reference is made to 'Ad, the people of Sayyidna Hud && who has been
described as their 'brother', firstly because he belonged to their tribe, and
secondly because he was their well-wisher as a brother. Since this nation
lived in valleys surrounded by long, curved sand dunes, called in Arabic
'Ahqaf, special reference is made to these dunes, so that one could find
out their places, if he so wishes when traveling to their localities. It is
mentioned in verse 22 that they themselves demanded Allah's
punishment to be brought upon them. Then verse 24 states that the
punishment was sent to them in the form of a cloud that appeared to be
benign, and therefore they were happy to see it in the hope that it would
bring rain to them, but in fact it contained the divine punishment in the
form of a violent wind that destroyed every thing, leaving nothing except
their empty homes that remained as a sign for those who might learn a
lesson. The detailed account of the story of 'Ad and Thamud has already
been given in Surah Hud (11:50) for which volume 4, page 643 of this book
may be consulted. Mention of these events in these verses is in the form of
a brief reference, and in verse 26 the infidels of Makkah are reminded
that those nations were much more powerful and well-established than
the people of Makkah. Still, their power and strength was of no use to
them against Allah's punishment. Moreover, verse 28 points out that the
false gods believed by them to be their patrons could not save them from
the torment they faced, because they were coined only by their false
imagination, having no real existence at all.
{1} The reference here is to the towns of Thamud and the people of Sayyidna Lutx
that were in the way of the people of Arabia while they travelled to Syria. The
people of 'Ad were in Yemen, towards South from Makkah, while the towns of
Thamud and those of Sayyidna Lut El were towards North, hence the words,
"around you"

Surah Al-Ahkaf : 46 : 29 - 32
Verses 29 - 32
وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَآ إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًّا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوْهُ
قَالُوْآ أَنْصِتُوا فَلَمَّا قُضِىَ وَلَّوْا إِلَى قَوْمِهِمُ مُّنْذِرِيْنَ ﴿٢٩﴾ قَالُوا
يُقَوْمَنَآ إِنَّا سَمِعُنَا كِتْبَا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مُؤْسِى مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ
يَهُدِئٌ إِلَى الْحَقِّ وَإِلى طَرِيْقٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ ﴿٣٠) يَقَوْمَنَآَ أَجِيْبُواْ دَاعِىَ
اللَّهِ وَامِنُوا بِهِ يَغْفِرْلَكُمُ مِّنْ ذُنُوْبِكُمْ وَيُجِرُكُمُ مِّنُ عَذَابٍ اَلِيْمِ
﴿٣١)﴾ وَمَنُ لَّا يُحِبُ دَاعِىَ اللهِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُعْجِزٍ فِى الْأَرْضِ وَ لَيْسَ
لَهُ مِنْ دُونِةٍ أَوُلِيَاءُ أُولَئِكَ فِىٌ ضَلْلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ﴿٢٨﴾
And (recall) when We directed a group of Jinns towards
you, who started listening to the Qur'an. So, when they
attended it, they said (to each other), "Keep quiet." Then
once it was over, they went back to their people as
warners. [29] They said, "O our people, we have heard a
book sent down after Musa, confirming what was
before it, which guides to the truth and to a straight
path. [30] O our people, respond to Allah's herald, and
believe in him, and (once you do that,) Allah will forgive
your sins for you, and will save you from a painful
punishment. [31] And the one who does not respond to
Allah's herald is not (able) to frustrate (Allah by
escaping) in the land, and for him there are no
supporters besides Him. Such people are in open error."
[32]
Commentary
The previous verses have condemned the infidelity and the arrogant
attitude of the infidels and its destructive results. In these verses, the
people of Makkah are being put to shame by telling them that even jinn,
who are even more proud and haughty than you, had their hearts
softened after hearing the Qur'an, and they became Muslims; Allah has
given the humans more sense and intelligence than jinns, and despite
that they do not embrace faith.
The incident of the jinn listening to the Qur'an and then embracing
faith is stated in authentic ahadith. When the Holy Prophet & was

806
Surah Al-Ahkaf : 46 : 29 - 32
blessed with prophethood, the jinns were stopped from listening to the
news of the heavens, and if a jinn ventured to go upwards to overhear
the heavenly news, was chased away by a meteor directed towards him.
The jinns consulted each other to find out the cause of this new
phenomenon that has stopped them from listening to the news from the
heavens. They believed that some new event happening in the world
may have been the cause. In order to discover that event, various groups
of jinns spread out in different parts of the world to investigate this
phenomenon. One of the groups reached Hijaz also when the Holy
Prophet along with some of his companions was present at a place
called Batn Nakhlah and was intending to go to the fair of 'Ukaz'. (Arabs
used to setup trade-fairs on special days in various places for commercial
and social purposes where people of all areas used to assemble, set up
shops and arrange meetings and social gatherings much like the
exhibitions of our days. One such fair used to be set up in 'Ukaz where
the Holy Prophet
was intending to go probably for preaching and
calling towards Islam.) The Holy Prophet
was leading the morning
prayers in Batn nakhlah when the jinns reached there. After hearing the
Qur'an, they exclaimed that this was that new matter which has come
between them and the heavenly news. (Ahmad, Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi,
Nasa'i, etc., with the authority of Ibn 'Abbas)
According to another narration, when the jinns came there, they
directed each other to keep quiet and listen to the Qur'an. When the Holy
Prophet # finished his prayers, they put their belief in Islam, embraced
it, went back to their people and informed them of the real cause of the
new phenomenon. They also told their people that they had become
Muslims and advised them that they should also embrace the faith. But
the Holy Prophet 2% did not become aware of the jinns coming and going
and of their embracing the faith after listening to the Qur'an until Surah
jinn was revealed wherein he was informed of this incident. (Ibn-ul-Mundhir
quoting 'Abdul Malik)
Another narration states that these jinns were inhabitants of Nasibin,
either seven or nine in number. When they told their nation about it and
motivated them to embrace faith, three hundred of them presented
themselves for embracing Islam. (Abu Nu'aim, Al-Waqidi, quoting Ka'b al-Ahbār,
as in Ruh-ul-Ma'ani). There are diverse narrations in other ahadith also, but

807
Surah Al-Akaf : 46 : 33 - 35
since they are about various incidents at different times, there is no
contradiction between them. That these are different incidents is
supported by a statement of Ibn 'Abbas reported by Țabarani in Awsat
and by Ibn Marduwaih that the jinns came to the Holy Prophet @ many
times.
Khafaji has said that the cumulative outcome of various ahadith is
that jinn presented themselves to the Holy Prophet 22 six times for
benefiting from his teachings. (Ruh-ul-Ma'ani and Bayan-ul-Qur'an)
a book sent down after Musa). Here the words 'after) كِتْبًا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ بَعْدٍ مُؤُسى
Musa have been taken by some exegetes to indicate that these jinns were
Jews, because Injil that was revealed to Sayyidna 'Isa Meal, after
Sayyidna Musa Ka, has not been mentioned. But there is no clear
narration to support this inference. That they did not refer to Injil cannot
be a sufficient proof for the jinns being Jews. Another reason for not
mentioning Injil may be that Injil follows Torah in most commandments,
and the Qur'an, like Torah, is an independent Book, having different
commands, rules and regulations. It is likely that the underlying idea was
to state that the Qur'an is the Book which is independent like Torah.
will forgive your sins for you,) The word 'min' used in) يَغْفِرُلَكُمُ مِّنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ
the text gives the sense of 'some'. If it is taken in this sense here, it would
mean that 'some sins' will be forgiven by embracing Islam. It will indicate
that only sins relating to the rights of Allah would be forgiven but not the
rights of people. But some exegetes have taken 'min' in this verse as an
extra word that has no additional meaning in Arabic idioms. Given this
interpretation, no explanation is required.
Verses 33 - 35
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِىُ خَلَقَ السَّمْوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْىَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ
بِقْدِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحُيِ الْمَوْنِى ، بَلِىّ ◌ِنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٣٣﴾
وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا عَلَى النَّارِ ، اَلَيْسَ هَذَا بِالْحَقِّ ﴿ قَالُوا بَلَىْ
وَرَبِّنَاء قَالَ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمُ تَكْفُرُوْنَ ﴿٣٤﴾ فَاصُبِرُ كَمَا

808
Surah Al-Aķkaf : 46 : 33 - 35
صَبَرَ أُولُوا الْعَزُمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُ لَّهُمُ ، كَأَنَّهُمُ يَوْمَ يَرَوُنَ
مَا يُوُعَدُوُنَ ا لَمُ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّ سَاعَةً مِّنُ نَّهَارِ ، بَلْغٌ، فَهَلْ يُهُلَكُ إِلَّ
الْقَوْمُ الْفُسِقُونَ ﴿٣٥)
Have they not seen that Allah who has created the
heavens and the earth, and was not wearied by their
creation, does have power to give life to the dead? Yes of
course, He is powerful to do every thing. [33] And the
day the disbelievers will be presented to the Fire, (it
will be said to them,) "Is this not true?" They will say,
"Yes, Our Lord!" He will say, "Then taste the
punishment, for you used to disbelieve." [34] So, (O
prophet,) observe patience, as the resolute messengers
observed patience, and be not in haste about them. The
Day they will see what they are promised, (it will be) as
if they did not stay (in the world) more than an hour in
a single day. This is a message. So, none will be
destroyed except the sinners. [35]
Commentary
- as the resolute messengers observed patience ... ) أُولُوا الْعَزُمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ
46:35). The word 'resolute' has been used here as a qualification for all the
messengers, and not only for some of them, because the word 'min' used
with 'rusul' is not, according to the authentic exegetes, in the sense of
'some'. It is rather for 'Bayan' (description), to use the grammatical term.
The sense is that all messengers are resolute people. Of course, variation
in the grades of qualities between messengers is proved from the Holy
Qur'an itself:
تِلْكَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ
Those are the messengers some of whom We have given
excellence over some others (2:253)
Therefore those prophets who excel other prophets in the quality of
being resolute and courageous have been given this title in a special way,
although there are differences of opinion as to who they are. Majority
opinion is that this special title is given to those prophets who have been
mentioned in the following verse of Surah Al-Ahzab verse 7:
وَإِذْ آَخَذُنَا مِنَ النَّبِيْنَ مِيْثَاقَهُمُ وَمِنْكَ وَمِنْ نُّوْحٍ وَِّبُرْهِيُمَ وَمُوُسىْ وَعِيْسَىَ ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ

809
Surah Al-Ahkaf : 46 : 33 - 35
And (recall) when We took from the prophets their covenant,
and from you and from Nuh and Ibrahim and Musa and 'Isa,
the son of Maryam. And We did take from them a firm
covenant, (33:7)
Sayyidah 'A'ishah رضى الله عنها states that the Holy Prophet
has said
"The delights, luxuries and pleasures of this world do not befit
Muhammad
and his family, because Allah Ta'ala does not accept
anything less than patience from those who are 'resolute', and I have
received this divine order:ِفَاصْبِرُ كَمَا صَبَرَ أُوْلُوا الْعَزُمِ مِنَ الرُّسُل"So, O prophet,
observe patience, as the resolute messengers observed patience. (46:35)"
