Sûrah 13. Ar-Ra'd
وَكَذَلِكَ أَنْزَلْنَهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبَّا وَلَيْنِ اتَبَعْتَ

مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا وَاقٍ
وَلَقَدْ أَزْسَلْنَارُ سُلَّا مِّن قَبْلِكَ وَحَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَجًا
وَذُرِيَّةً وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِئَايَةٍ
إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ لِكُلِ أَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ

يَمْحُواْ اللَّهُ مَايَشَآءُ وَيُثْبِثٌّ وَعِندَهُ:

وَإِن مَّاذُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْنَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ

only to worship Allâh (Alone) and not to join
partners with Him. To Him (Alone) I call and
to Him is my return."
37. And thus have We sent it (the Qur'an)
down to be a judgement of authority in
صلى الله عليه Arabic. Were you (O Muhammad
,) to follow their (vain) desires after the
knowledge which has come to you, then you
will not have any Walî (protector) or Wâq
(defender) against Allâh.
38. And indeed We sent Messengers
before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), and
made for them wives and offspring. And it
was not for a Messenger to bring a sign
except by Allâh's Leave. (For) every matter
there is a Decree (from Allâh). [Tafsir
At-Tabari]
39. Allâh blots out what He wills and
confirms (what He wills). And with Him is
the Mother of the Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz)
40. Whether We show you (O Muhammad
part of what We have promised (صلى الله عليه وسلم
them or cause you to die, your duty is only to
convey (the Message) and on Us is the
reckoning.
41. See they not that We gradually reduce
the land (of the disbelievers, by giving it to
the believers, in war victories) from its
outlying borders. And Allâh judges, there is
none to put back His Judgement and He is
Swift at reckoning.
42. And verily, those before them did
devise plots, but all planning is Allâh's. He
knows what every person earns, and the
disbelievers will know who gets the good end
(final destination).
43. And those who disbelieved, say: "You
(O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are not a
Messenger." Say: "Sufficient as a witness
between me and you is Allâh and those too
who have knowledge of the Scripture (such as
'Abdullah bin Salâm and other Jews and
Christians who embraced Islâm)."

Sûrat Ibrâhîm (Abraham) XIV
In the Name of Allâh
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
1. Alif-Lâm-Râ.
[These letters are one of the miracles of
the Qur'an, and none but Allâh (Alone)
knows their meanings].
(This is) a Book which We have revealed
unto you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) in
order that you might lead mankind out of
darkness (of disbelief and polytheism) into
light (of belief in the Oneness of Allâh and
Islamic Monotheism) by their Lord's Leave
to the Path of the All-Mighty, the Owner of
all Praise.
2. Allâh to Whom belongs all that is in the
heavens and all that is in the earth! And woe
unto the disbelievers from a severe torment.
3. Those who prefer the life of this world
to the Hereafter, and hinder (men) from the
Path of Allâh (i.e.Islam) and seek
crookedness therein - they are far astray.
4. And We sent not a Messenger except
with the language of his people, in order that
he might make (the Message) clear for them.
Then Allah misleads whom He wills and
guides whom He wills. And He is the
All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
5. And indeed We sent Mûsâ (Moses)
with Our Ayât (signs, proofs, and evidences)
(saying): "Bring out your people from
darkness into light, and remind them of the
Annals of Allâh. Truly, therein are Ayât
(evidences, proofs and signs) for every
patient, thankful (person)."
6. And (remember) when Mûsâ (Moses)
said to his people: "Call to mind Allah's
Favour to you, when He delivered you from
Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people who were
afflicting you with horrible torment, and were

slaughtering your sons and letting your
women alive; and in it was a tremendous trial
from your Lord."
7. And (remember) when your Lord
proclaimed: "If you give thanks (by accepting
Faith and worshipping none but Allâh), I will
give you more (of My Blessings); but if you
are thankless (i.e. disbelievers), verily My
punishment is indeed severe."
8. And Mûsâ (Moses) said: "If you
disbelieve, you and all on earth together, then
verily Allâh is Rich (Free of all needs),
Owner of all Praise."
9. Has not the news reached you, of those
before you, the people of Nûh (Noah), and
'Âd, and Thamûd? And those after them?
None knows them but Allâh. To them came
their Messengers with clear proofs, but they
put their hands in their mouths (biting them
from anger) and said: "Verily, we disbelieve
in that with which you have been sent, and we
are really in grave doubt as to that to which
you invite us (i.e. Islamic Monotheism)."
10. Their Messengers said: "What! Can
there be a doubt about Allâh, the Creator of
the heavens and the earth? He calls you (to
Monotheism and to be obedient to Allâh) that
He may forgive you of your sins and give you
respite for a term appointed." They said:
"You are no more than human beings like us!
You wish to turn us away from what our
fathers used to worship. Then bring us a clear
authority (i.e. a clear proof of what you say)."
11. Their Messengers said to them: "We
are no more than human beings like you, but
Allâh bestows His Grace to whom He wills of
His slaves. It is not ours to bring you an
authority (proof) except by the Permission of
Allâh. And in Allâh (Alone) let the believers
put their trust.
12. "And why should we not put our trust
in Allâh while He indeed has guided us our
ways? And we shall certainly bear with

اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَّكَلِ الْمُتَوَكِلُونَ

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُ واْلِرُسُلِهِمْ لَنُخْرِ جَنَّكُمْ
مِّنْ أَرْضِنَا أَوْلَتَعُودُنَ فِى مِلَّتِنَا فَأَوْحَىّ إِلَيْهِمْ

patience all the hurt you may cause us, and in
Allâh (Alone) let those who trust, put their
trust."
13. And those who disbelieved, said to
their Messengers: "Surely, we shall drive you
out of our land, or you shall return to our
religion." So their Lord revealed to them:
"Truly, We shall destroy the Zâlimûn
(polytheists, disbelievers and wrong-doers).
14. "And indeed, We shall make you dwell
in the land after them. This is for him who fears
standing before Me (on the Day of Resurrection
or fears My punishment) and also fears My
threat."
15. And they (the Messengers) sought
victory and help [from their Lord (Allâh)];
and every obstinate, arrogant dictator (who
refuses to believe in the Oneness of Allah)
was brought to a complete loss and
destruction.
16. In front of him (every obstinate,
arrogant dictator) is Hell, and he will be made
to drink boiling, festering water.
17. He will sip it unwillingly, and he will
find a great difficulty to swallow it down his
throat 11; and death will come to him from
every side, yet he will not die and in front of
him, will be a great torment.
18. The parable of those who disbelieved
in their Lord is that their works are as ashes,
on which the wind blows furiously on a
stormy day; they shall not be able to get aught
of what they have earned. That is the straying,
far away (from the Right Path).
19. Do you not see that Allâh has created
the heavens and the earth with truth?If He
[1]
(V.14:17) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The width
between the two shoulders of a Kafir (disbeliever) will be equal to the distance covered by a
fast rider in three days." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.8, Hadith No.559A).

wills, He can remove you and bring (in your
place) a new creation!
20. And for Allâh that is not hard or
difficult.
21. And they all shall appear before Allâh
(on the Day of Resurrection); then the weak
will say to those who were arrogant (chiefs):
"Verily, we were following you; can you avail
us anything against Allâh's Torment?" They
will say: "Had Allâh guided us, we would
have guided you. It makes no difference to us
(now) whether we rage, or bear (these
torments) with patience; there is no place of
refuge for us."
22. And Shaitân (Satan) will say when the
matter has been decided: "Verily, Allâh
promised you a promise of truth. And I too
promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no
authority over you except that I called you,
and you responded to me. So blame me not,
but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor
can you help me. I deny your former act in
associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allâh
(by obeying me in the life of the world).
Verily, there is a painful torment for the
Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers)."
23. And those who believed (in the
Oneness of Allâh and His Messengers and
whatever they brought) and did righteous
deeds, will be made to enter Gardens under
which rivers flow, - to dwell therein for ever
(i.e. in Paradise), with the Permission of their
Lord. Their greeting therein will be: Salâm
(peace!).[1]
24. See you not how Allâh sets forth a
parable? A goodly word as a goodly tree,
whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches
(reach) to the sky (i.e. very high).

Leave of its Lord, and Allâh sets forth
parables for mankind in order that they may
remember.
26. And the parable of an evil word is that
of an evil tree uprooted from the surface of
earth, having no stability.
27. Allah will keep firm those who
believe, with the word that stands firm in this
world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping
Allâh Alone and none else), and in the
Hereafter. 1 And Allâh will cause to go astray
those who are Zâlimun (polytheists and
wrong-doers), and Allâh does what He
wills [2]

changed the Blessings of Allâh into disbelief

their people to dwell in the house of

what an evil place to settle in!
30. And they set up rivals to Allâh, to
mislead (men) from His Path! Say: "Enjoy (your
brief life)! But certainly, your destination is the
(Hell) Fire!"

(V.14:27) i.e. immediately after their death (in their graves, etc.), when the angels
(Munkar and Nakîr) will ask them three questions: As to: (1) Who is your Lord? (2) What is
صلى الله عليه your religion? and (3) What do you say about this man (Prophet Muhammad
,) who was sent to you? The believers will give the correct answers, i.e. (1) My Lord is
Allah; (2) My religion is Islam; and (3) This man Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is Allah's
Messenger, and he came to us with clear signs and we believed in him, - while the
wrong-doers who believed not in the Message of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم will
not be able to answer these questions. [See Tafsir Ibn Kathir].

which there will be neither mutual bargaining
nor befriending.
32. Allâh is He Who has created the
heavens and the earth and sends down water
(rain) from the sky, and thereby brought forth
fruits as provision for you; and He has made
the ships to be of service to you, that they
may sail through the sea by His Command;
and He has made rivers (also) to be of service
to you.
33. And He has made the sun and the
moon, both constantly pursuing their courses,
to be of service to you; and He has made the
night and the day, to be of service to you.
34. And He gave you of all that you asked
for, and if you count the Blessings of Allâh,
never will you be able to count them. Verily,
man is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, a
disbeliever (an extreme ingrate who denies
Allâh's Blessings by disbelief, and by
worshipping others besides Allâh, and by
disobeying
Allah and
His Prophet

(Abraham) said: "O my Lord! Make this city
(Makkah) one of peace and security, and keep
me and my sons away from worshipping
idols.

astray many among mankind. But whoso
follows me, he verily is of me. And whoso
disobeys me,
still You are indeed

they may give thanks.[1]
وَأَرْزُقْهُمْ مِنَ الثَّمَرَتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُونَ
[1]
(V.14:37). The Story of the building of the Ka'bah at Makkah:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas رضى الله عنهما :[On the authority of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم (See Fath
Al-Bari, Vol. 7, Page 210)]. The first lady to use a girdle was the mother of Isma'îl
(Ishmael). She used a girdle so that she might hide her tracks from Sarah .* Ibrahim
(Abraham) brought her and her son Isma'îl (Ishmael) while she used to nurse him at her
breast, near the Ka'bah under a tree on the spot of Zamzam, at the highest place in the
mosque. During those days there was nobody in Makkah, nor was there any water. So he
made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates, and a
small water-skin containing some water, and set out homeward. Isma'îl's (Ishmael) mother
followed him saying, "O Ibrahim (Abraham)! Where are you going, leaving us in this valley
where there is no person whose company we may enjoy, nor is there anything (to enjoy)?"
She repeated that to him many times, but he did not look back at her. Then she asked him,
"Has Allâh ordered you to do so?" He said, "Yes." She said, "Then He will not neglect us,"
and returned while Ibrahîm (Abraham) proceeded onwards, and on reaching the Thaniyyah
where they could not see him, he faced the Ka'bah, and raising both hands invoked Allâh
saying the following supplication:
'O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your
Sacred House (the Ka'bah at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may perform
As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat). So fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O
Allâh) provide them with fruits, so that they may give thanks.' (V.14:37)
Ismå'îl's (Ishmael) mother went on suckling Ismå'îl (Ishmael) and drinking from the water
(she had). When the water in the water-skin had all been used up, she became thirsty and
her child also became thirsty. She started looking at him [i.e. Isma'îl (Ishmael)] tossing in
agony; she left him, for she could not endure looking at him, and found that the mountain of
As-Safa was the nearest mountain to her on that land. She stood on it and started looking
at the valley keenly so that she might see somebody, but she could not see anybody. Then
she descended from As-Safa and when she reached the valley, she tucked up her robe and
ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble, till she crossed the valley and reached
Al-Marwah mountain where she stood and started looking, expecting to see somebody, but
she could not see anybody. She repeated that (running between As-Safa and Al-Marwah)
seven times." The Prophet , ale wIL. said, "This is the source of the tradition of the
Sa'y (the going) of people between them (i.e. As-Safa and Al-Marwah). When she reached
Al-Marwah (for the last time) she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and
listened attentively. She heard the voice again and said, 'O (whoever you may be)! You
have made me hear your voice; have you got something to help me?' And behold! She saw
an angel at the place of Zamzam, digging the earth with his heel (or his wing), till water
flowed from that place. She started to make something like a basin around it, using her
hands in this way and started filling her water-skin with water with her hands, and the water
was flowing out after she had scooped some of it. " The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "May
Allâh bestow mercy on Isma'îl's (Ishmael) mother! Had she let the Zamzam (flow without
trying to control it) (or had she not scooped from that water) (to fill her water-skin), Zamzam
صلى الله عليه وسلم would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth." The Prophet
further added, "Then she drank (water) and suckled her child. The angel said to her, 'Don't
be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allah which will be built by this boy and
his father, and Allâh never neglects His people.' The House (i.e. Ka'bah) at that time was
on a high place resembling a hillock, and when torrents came, they flowed to its right and
left. She lived in that way till some people from the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum
passed by her and her child, as they (i.e. the Jurhum people) were coming through the way
of Kada'. They landed in the lower part of Makkah where they saw a bird that had the habit
of flying around water and not leaving it. They said, 'This bird must be flying around water,
though we know that there is no water in this valley.' They sent one or two messengers who
discovered the source of water, and returned to inform them of the water. So, they all came
(towards the water)." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "Isma'il's (Ishmael) mother was

Sûrah 14. Ibrâhîm

سورة إبراهيم ١٤
sitting near the water. They asked her, 'Do you allow us to stay with you?' She replied,
'Yes, but you will have no right to possess the water.' They agreed to that." The Prophet
further said, "Isma'il's (Ishmael) mother was pleased with the whole situation صلى اللّه عليه وسلم
as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people. So, they settled there, and later on
they sent for their families who came and settled with them so that some families became
permanent residents there. The child [i.e. Isma'îl (Ishmael)] grew up and learnt Arabic from
them and (his virtues) caused them to love and admire him as he grew up, and when he
reached the age of puberty they made him marry a woman from amongst them. After
Isma'îl's (Ishmael) mother had died, Ibrahim (Abraham) came after Isma'îl's (Ishmael)
marriage in order to see his family that he had left before, but he did not find Isma'îl
(Ishmael) there. When he asked Isma'îl's (Ishmael) wife about him, she replied, 'He has
gone in search of our livelihood.' Then he asked her about their way of living and their
condition, and she replied, 'We are living in misery; we are living in hardship and
destitution,' complaining to him. He said, 'When your husband returns, convey my
salutation to him and tell him to change the threshold of the gate (of his house).' When
Isma'îl (Ishmael) came, he seemed to have felt something unusual, so he asked his wife,
'Has anyone visited you?' She replied, 'Yes, an old man of such and such description
came and asked me about you and I informed him, and he asked about our state of living,
and I told him that we were living in a hardship and poverty.' On that Isma'îl (Ishmael) said,
'Did he advise you anything?' She replied, 'Yes, he told me to convey his salutation to you
and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate.' Isma'îl (Ishmael) said, 'It was my
father, and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family.' So, Isma'îl (Ishmael)
divorced her and married another woman from amongst them (i.e. Jurhum). Then Ibrahim
(Abraham) stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them
again but did not find Isma'îl (Ishmael). So he came to Isma'îl's (Ishmael) wife and asked
her about Ismå'îl (Ishmael). She said, 'He has gone in search of our livelihood.' Ibrahim
(Abraham) asked her, 'How are you getting on?' asking her about their sustenance and
living. She replied, 'We are prosperous and well-off (i.e. we have everything in abundance).'
Then she thanked Allah J. , ;. Ibrahim (Abraham) said, 'What kind of food do you eat?'
She said, 'Meat.' He said, 'What do you drink?' She said, 'Water.' He said, 'O Allâh! Bless
their meat and water.' " The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "At that time they did not have
grain, and if they had grain, he would have also invoked Allah to bless it." The Prophet .
, le ul added, "If somebody has only these two things as his sustenance, his health and
صلى الله عليه وسلم disposition will be badly affected, unless he lives in Makkah. " The Prophet
added, "Then Ibrahim (Abraham) said to Isma'îl's (Ishmael) wife, 'When your husband
comes, give my regards to him and tell him that he should keep firm the threshold of his
gate.' When Isma'îl (Ishmael) came back, he asked his wife, 'Did anyone call on you?' She
replied, 'Yes, a good-looking old man came to me,' so she praised him and added. 'He
asked about you, and I informed him, and he asked about our livelihood and I told him that
we were in a good condition.' Isma'îl (Ishmael) asked her, 'Did he give you any piece of
advice?' She said, 'Yes, he told me to give his regards to you and ordered that you should
keep firm the threshold of your gate.' On that Isma'îl (Ishmael) said, 'It was my father, and
you are the threshold (of the gate). He has ordered me to keep you with me.' Then Ibrahim
(Abraham) stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished, and called on them
afterwards. He saw Isma'îl (Ishmael) under a tree near Zamzam, sharpening his arrows.
When he saw Ibrahim (Abraham), he rose up to welcome him (and they greeted each other
as a father does with his son or a son does with his father). Ibrahim (Abraham) said, 'O
Ismå'il (Ishmael)! Allah has given me an order.' Isma'îl (Ishmael) said, 'Do what your Lord
has ordered you to do.' Ibrahim (Abraham) asked, 'Will you help me?' Isma'îl (Ishmael)
said, 'I will help you.' Ibrahim (Abraham) said, 'Allah has ordered me to build a house here,'
pointing to a hillock higher than the land surrounding it.'"The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم added,
"Then they raised the foundations of the House (i.e. the Ka'bah). Isma'îl (Ishmael) brought
the stones and Ibrahim (Abraham) was building; and when the walls became high, Isma'îl
(Ishmael) brought this stone and put it for Ibrahim (Abraham) who stood over it and carried
on building, while Isma'îl (Ishmael) was handing him the stones, and both of them were
saying, 'O our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily, You are the All-Hearer the
All-Knower.' " (V.2:127).

Ka'bah saying 'O our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the

* When Ibrahim (Abraham) married Hajar and she conceived Isma'îl (Ishmael), Sarah,
Ibrâhîm (Abraham)'s first wife became jealous of her and swore that she would cut three
parts from her body. So Hajar tied a girdle round her waist and ran away, dragging her robe
behind her so as to wipe out her tracks lest Sarah should pursue her. "Allah knows better."

46. Indeed, they planned their plot, and
their plot was with Allâh, though their plot
was not such as to remove the mountains (real
mountains or the Islamic law) from their
places (as it is of no importance) [Tafsir Ibn
Kathir][1].
47. So think not that Allâh will fail to
keep His Promise to His Messengers.
Certainly, Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Able of

may take heed.

(V.15:9) This Verse is a challenge to mankind and everyone is obliged to believe in the
miracles of this Qur'an. It is a clear fact that more than 1400 years have elapsed and not a
single word of this Qur'an has been changed, although the disbelievers tried their utmost to
change it in every way, but they failed miserably in their efforts. As it is mentioned in this
holy Verse: "We will guard it." By Allah! He has guarded it. On the contrary, all the other
holy Books [the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel).] have been corrupted in the form of
additions or subtractions or alterations in the original text.

(V.15:23) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
"When a person is dead, his deeds cease (are stopped) except three:
a) Deeds of continuous Sadaqah (act of charity), e.g. an orphan home or a well for giving
water to drink.
b) (Written) knowledge with which mankind gets benefit.
c) A righteous, pious son (or daughter) who begs Allâh to forgive his (or her) parents."

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَئِكَةِ إِنّ خَلِقٌ بَشَرًا

28. And (remember) when your Lord said
to the angels: "I am going to create a man
(Adam) from dried (sounding) clay of altered
mud.
29. "So, when I have fashioned him
completely and breathed into him (Adam) the
soul which I created for him, then fall (you)
down prostrating yourselves unto him."
30. So the angels prostrated themselves,
all of them together.
31. Except Iblîs (Satan) - he refused to
be among the prostrators.
32. (Allâh) said: "O Iblîs (Satan)! What is
your reason for not being among the
prostrators?"
33. [Iblîs (Satan)] said: "I am not the one
to prostrate myself to a human being, whom
You created from dried (sounding) clay of
altered mud."
34. (Allâh) said: "Then, get out from here,
for verily, you are Rajîm (an outcast or a
cursed one)." [Tafsîr At-Tabarî]
35. "And verily, the curse shall be upon
you till the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day
of Resurrection)."
36. [Iblis (Satan)] said: "O my Lord! Give
me then respite till the Day they (the dead)
will be resurrected."
37. Allâh said: "Then verily, you are of
those reprieved,
38. "Till the Day of the time appointed."
39. [Iblis (Satan)] said: "O my Lord!
Because you misled me, I shall indeed adorn
the path of error for them (mankind) on the
earth, and I shall mislead them all.
40. "Except Your chosen, (guided) slaves
among them."
