سورة الأنعام ٦ الجزء ٧ Part 7 187 Surah 6. Al-An'âm when He has no wife? He created all things and He is the All-Knower of everything" [1] . 102. Such is Allâh, your Lord! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Creator of all things. So worship Him (Alone), and He is the Wakil (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian) over all things. 103. No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision. He is Al-Latif (the Most Subtle and Courteous), Well-Acquainted with all things. 104. Verily, proofs have come to you from your Lord, so whosoever sees, will do so for (the good of) his ownself, and whosoever blinds himself, will do so to his (صلى الله عليه وسلم own harm, and I (Muhammad am not a watcher over you. 105. Thus We explain variously the Verses so that they (the disbelievers) may say: "You have studied (the Books of the people of the Scripture and brought this Qur'ân from that)" and that We may make the matter clear for the people who have knowledge. 106. Follow what has been revealed to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from your Lord, Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) and turn aside from Al-Mushrikun.12 107. Had Allâh willed, they would not have taken others besides Him in worship. And We have not made you a watcher over them nor are you a Wakil (disposer of affairs, guardian, trustee) over them. 108. And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides Allâh, lest وَلَمْتَكُن لَّهُ صَحِبَةٌ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ وَهُوَبِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ الـ ذَلِ كُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلََّ هُوَّ خَلِقُ كُلِّ ١٠٢ شَىْءٍ فَأَعْبُدُوهُ وَهُوَ على كُلِّشَىْءٍ وَكِيلٌ لَّا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَرُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الْأَبْصَرِّ وَهُوَ اْللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ ١٠٣ قَدْ جَاءَ كُمْ بَصَابِرُ مِن رَّيِّكُمْ فَمَنْ أَبْصَرَ فَلِنَفْسِهِ، وَمَنْ عَمِىَ فَعَلَيْهَأَ وَمَآ أَنَاْ عَلَيْكُمْ بَحَفِيظٍ وَكَذَلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ آلْأَيَتِ وَلِيَقُولُواْدَرَسْتَ وَلِنُبِيِّنَهُ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ ١٠٥ اتَّبِعْ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِن ◌َّبِكٌَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلََّ هُوّ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ 1.7 وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللَّهُ مَا أَشْرَكُواْ وَمَا جَعَلْنَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظَاً وَمَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ ١٠٧ وَلَا تَسُبُّواْلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ [1] (V.6:101) See the footnote of (V.2:116) [2] (V.6:106). Al-Mushrikun: polytheists, pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness .صلى الله عليه وسلم of Allah and His Messenger Muhammad سورة الأنعام ٦ الجزء ٧ 188 Part 7 Sûrah 6. Al-An'âm فَيَسُبُواْاللَّهَ عَدْوَا بِغَيْ عِلْمٍ كَذَلِكَ زَيَّنَّالِكُلِّ أُمٍَّ عَمَلَهُمْ ثُمَّإِلَى رَبِّهِم ◌َّرْجِعُهُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ 1.A وَأَقْسَمُواْبِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَنِهِمْ لَيْنِ جَآءَ تُهُمْ مَايَةٌ لَّيَّوْ مِنُنَّ بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْآَيَتُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا يُشْعِرَّكُمْ أَنَّهَآَ إِذَا جَآءَتْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفِدَتَهُمْ وَأَبْصَرَهُمْ كَمَا لَمْ يُؤْمِنُواْ بِهِ: أَوَّلَ مَّةٍ وَنَذَرُهُمْ فِي طُغْيَنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ they insult Allâh wrongfully without knowledge. Thus We have made fair-seeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do.lil 109. And they swear their strongest oaths by Allâh, that if there came to them a sign, they would surely believe therein. Say: "Signs are but with Allâh and what will make you (Muslims) perceive that (even) if it (the sign) came, they will not believe?" 110. And We shall turn their hearts and their eyes away (from guidance), as they refused to believe therein for the first time, and We shall leave them in their trespass to wander blindly. [1] (6:108) The tale of the cave: Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضى الله عنهما :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Once three persons (from the previous nations) were travelling, and suddenly it started raining and they took shelter in a cave. The entrance of the cave got closed (suddenly by the falling of a huge rock) while they were inside. They said to each other, 'O You! Nothing can save you except the truth, so each of you should ask Allah's Help by referring to such a deed as he thinks he did sincerely (i.e., just for gaining Allah's Pleasure).' So one of them said, 'O Allah! You know that I had a labourer who worked for me for one Faraq (i.e. three Sa') of rice, but he departed, leaving it (i.e. his wages). I sowed that Faraq of rice and with its yield I bought cows (for him). Later on when came to me asking for his wages, I said (to him), 'Go to those cows and drive them away.' He said to me, 'But you have to pay me only a Faraq of rice.' I said to him, 'Go to those cows and take them, for they are the product of that Faraq (of rice).' So he drove them. O Allah! If you consider that I did that for fear of You, then please remove the rock.' The rock shifted a bit from the mouth of the cave. The second one said, 'O Allah, You know that I had old parents whom I used to provide with the milk of my sheep every night. One night I was delayed and when I came, they had slept, while my wife and children were crying with hunger. I used not to let them (i.e. my family) drink unless my parents had drunk first. So I disliked to wake them up and also disliked that they should sleep without drinking it, I kept on waiting (for them to wake) till it dawned. O Allah! If You consider that I did that for fear of You, then please remove the rock.' So the rock shifted and they could see the sky through it. The (third) one said, 'O Allah! You know that I had a cousin (i.e. my paternal uncle's daughter) who was most beloved to me and I sought to seduce her, but she refused, unless I paid her one-hundred Dinârs (i.e. gold pieces). So I collected the amount and brought it to her, and she allowed me to sleep with her. But when I sat between her legs, she said, 'Be afraid of Allah, and do not deflower me but legally.' 'I got up and left the hundred Dinars (for her). O Allah! If You consider that I did that for fear of You than please remove the rock.' So Allah released them (removed the rock) and they came out (of the cave)." [This Hadith indicates that one can only ask Allah for help directly or through his performed good deeds. But to ask Allah through the dead or absent (prophets, saints, spirits, holy men, angels) is absolutely forbidden in Islam and it is a kind of polytheism]. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 671). سورة الأنعام ٦ الجزء ٨ Part 8 189 Surah 6. Al-An'âm ﴿ وَلَوْأَتَّانَزَّلْنَا إِلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَبِكَةَ وَكَلَّمَّهُمُ الْوْنَى وَحَشَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ قُبُلًا مَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤْمِنُواْ إِلَّا أَن يَشَآءَ اللّهُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَجْهَلُونَ وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِّ عَدُوًّا شَيَطِينَ آلْإِنسِ وَالْجِنِّيُوحِى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضِ زُخْرُفَ الْقَوْلِ غُرُورًاً وَلَوْشَاءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَدُوّةٌ فَذَرُهُمْ وَمَايَفْتَرُونَ وَلَِصْغَى إِلَيْهِ أَفْئِدَةُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِْآَخِرَةِ وَلِيَرْضَوْهُ وَلِيَقْتَرِفُواْمَاهُم مُقْتِفُونَ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ أَبْتَغِىِ حَكَمَا وَهُوَ الَّذِىّ أَنْزَلَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكِتَبَ مُفَضَّلَاً وَالَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَهُمُ اُلْكِتَبَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مُنَزَّلٌ مِّن رَّيِّكَ بِالْخِيّ فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلَاً لَّا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَتِهِ، وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ 010 وَإِنْ تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَنْ فِى الْأَرْضِ يُضِلَُّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ الَّهِ إِن يَتَِّعُونَ إِلَّا الَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ 017 إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مَن يَضِلُّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ، وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ فَكُلُوْ مِمَا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ الَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنَ كُنْتُم بِغَايَتِهِ، مُؤْمِنِينَ 111. And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken unto them, and We had gathered together all things before their very eyes, they would not have believed, unless Allâh willed, but most of them behave ignorantly. 112. And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies - Shayâtîn (devils) among mankind and jinn, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception). If your Lord had so willed, they would not have done it; so leave them alone with their fabrications. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi) 113. (And this is in order) that the hearts of those who disbelieve in the Hereafter may incline to such (deceit), and that they may remain pleased with it, and that they may commit what they are committing (all kinds of sins and evil deeds). [(صلى الله عليه وسلم Say (O Muhammad] .114 "Shall I seek a judge other than Allâh while it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (the Qur'ân), explained in detail." Those unto whom We gave the Scripture [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] know that it is revealed from your Lord in truth. So be not you of those who doubt. 115. And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can change His Words. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. 116. And if you obey most of those on the earth, they will mislead you far away from Allâh's Path. They follow nothing but conjectures, and they do nothing but lie. 117. Verily, your Lord! It is He Who knows best who strays from His Way, and He knows best the rightly guided ones. 118. So eat of that (meat) on which Allâh's Name has been pronounced (while slaughtering the animal), if you are believers in His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). سورة الأنعام ٦ الجزء ٨ Sûrah 6. Al-An'âm Part 8 190 وَمَا لَكُمْ أَلَّا تَأْكُلُواْمِمَاذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَاحَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَا آَضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَإِنَّ كَثِير ◌َّضِلُونَ بِأَهْوَابِهِم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُعْتَدِينَ( وَذَرُواْظَهِرَ اْإِثْمِ وَبَاطِنَهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْسِبُونَ آلْإِنْمَ سَيُجْزَوْنَ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرِفُونَ Ir. وَلَا تَأْكُلُواْمِعَالَيُذْكَرٍ أَسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ. ◌َفِسْقٌ وَإِنَّ الشَّيَطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَى أَوْلِيَّا بِهِمْ لِيُجَدِ لُوكُمْ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَمْرِكُنَ أَوَ مَن كَانَ مَيْتًا فَأَحْيَيْنَهُ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُ نُورًا يَمْشِى بِهِ فِى النَّاسِ كَمَن مَّثَلُهُ فِ الظُّلُمَتِ لَيْسَ مِخَارِجِ مِنْهَا كَذَلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلْكَفِرِينَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ 119. And why should you not eat of that (meat) on which Allâh's Name has been pronounced (at the time of slaughtering the animal), while He has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you, except under compulsion of necessity? And surely many do lead (mankind) astray by their own desires through lack of knowledge. Certainly your Lord knows best the transgressors. 120. Leave (O mankind, all kinds of) sin, open and secret. Verily, those who commit sin will get due recompense for that which they used to commit. 121. Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allah's Name has not been pronounced (at the time of the slaughtering of the animal), for sure it is Fisq (a sin and disobedience of Allâh). And certainly, the Shayâtîn (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind) to dispute with you, and if you obey them11 [by making Al-Maitah (a dead animal) legal by eating it], then you would indeed be Mushrikun (polytheists); [because they (devils and their friends) made lawful to you to eat that which Allâh has made unlawful to eat and you obeyed them by considering it lawful to eat, and by doing so you worshipped them; and to worship others besides Allâh is polytheism]. 122. Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance and disbelief) and We gave him life (by knowledge and Faith) and set for him a light (of Belief) whereby he can walk amongst men - like him who is in the darkness (of disbelief, polytheism and hypocrisy) from which he can never come out? Thus it is made fair-seeming to the disbelievers that which they used to do. [1] (V.6:121) Narrated by Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi, and Ibn Jarîr: Once while Allah's Messenger !was reciting the Verse (9:31) 'Adi bin Hatim said, "O Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم They do not worship them (i.e., rabbis and monks)." Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "They certainly do. They (i.e., rabbis and monks) made lawful things as unlawful, and unlawful things as lawful, and they (i.e. Jews and Christians) followed them; and by doing so, they really worshipped them." (Tafsir At-Tabari). Sûrah 6. Al-An'âm Part 8 191 الجزء ٨ سورة الأنعام ٦ 123. And thus We have set up in every town great ones of its wicked people to plot therein. But they plot not except against their ownselves, and they perceive (it) not. 124. And when there comes to them a sign (from Allâh) they say: "We shall not believe until we receive the like of that which the Messengers of Allâh had received." Allâh knows best with whom to place His Message. Humiliation and disgrace from Allâh and a severe torment will overtake the criminals (polytheists, sinners) for that which they used to plot. 125. And whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his breast to Islâm; and whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his breast closed and constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky. Thus Allâh puts the wrath on those who believe not.111 126. And this is the Path of your Lord (the Qur'ân and Islâm) leading Straight. We have detailed Our Revelations for a people who take heed. 127. For them will be the home of peace (Paradise) with their Lord. And He will be their Walî (Helper and Protector) because of what they used to do. 128. And on the Day when He will gather them (all) together (and say): "O you assembly of jinn! Many did you mislead of men," and their Auliya' (friends and helpers) amongst men will say: "Our Lord! We benefited one from the other, but now we وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَا فِ كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ أَكَبِرَ مُجْرِمِيهَا لِيَمْكُرُوافِيهَاً وَمَا يَمْكُرُونَ إِلَّا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمَا يَشْعُونَ وَإِذَا جَآءَتُهُمْ ءَايَةٌ قَالُواْ لَن تُؤْمِنَ حَتَّى نُؤْقَى مِثْلَ مَا أُوِىَ رُسُلُ اللهِاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ حَيْثُ يَجْعَلُ رِسَالَتَهُ سَيُصِيبُ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَ مُوا صَغَارُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَمْكُرُونَ فَمَن يُرِدِ اللّهُأَن يَهْدِيَهُ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَ هُلِلْإِسْلَمِّ وَمَن يُرِدْ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُ ضَيِّقًا خَرَجَا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَغَّدُ فِ السَّمَاءِ كَذَلِكَ يَجْعَلُ اللهُ الرَّحْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ ١٢٥ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ وَهَذَا صِرَاطُ رَيِّكَ مُسْتَقِيمَاْقَدْ فَصَّلْنَا آَلَيَتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَذَّ كَّرُونَ ◌َهُمْ دَارُ السَّلَمِ عِنْدَ رَبِهِمٌّ وَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُم بِمَا كَانُواْيَعْمَلُونَ وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا يَمَعْشَرَ الجِنّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُم مِّنَ الْإِنسِّ وَقَالَ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُم مِّنَ اُلْإِنسِ رَبَّنَا اسْتَمْتَعَ بَعْضُنَا بِبَعْضٍ وَبَغْنَآ [1] (V.6:125) If Allah Jus wants to do good to a person, He makes him comprehend the religion [the .[صلی الله عليه وسلم understanding of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (legal ways) of the Prophet صلی in a Khutbah (religious talk): I heard Allah's Messenger رضى الله عنه Narrated Mu'awiya saying, "If Allah wants to do good to a person, He makes him comprehend the اللّه عليه وسلم religion [the understanding of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (legal ways) of the Prophet . I am just a distributor, but the grant is from Allah. (And remember) that this.[ اللّه عليه وسلم nation (true Muslims, real followers of Islamic Monotheism) will remain obedient to Allah's Orders [i.e., following strictly Allah's Book (the Qur'an) and the Prophet's Sunnah (legal ways)] and they will not be harmed by anyone who will oppose them (going on a different path) till Allâh's Order (Day of Judgement) is established." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Hadîth No. 71). سورة الأنعام ٦ الجزء ٨ 192 Sûrah 6.

He will say: "The Fire be your dwelling-place, you will dwell therein forever, except as Allâh may will. Certainly your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing." 129. And thus We do make the Zâlimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) Auliya' (supporters and helpers) of one another (in committing crimes), because of that which they used to earn. 130. O you assembly of jinn and mankind! "Did not there come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. And they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers. 131. This is because your Lord would not destroy the (populations of) towns for their wrong-doing (i.e. associating others in worship along with Allâh) while their people were unaware (so the Messengers were sent). 132. For all there will be degrees (or ranks) according to what they did. And your Lord is not unaware of what they do. 133. And your Lord is Rich (Free of all needs), full of Mercy; if He wills, He can destroy you, and in your place make whom He wills as your successors, as He raised you from the seed of other people. 134. Surely, that which you are promised will verily come to pass, and you cannot escape (from the punishment of Allâh). :(صلى الله عليه وسلم Say (O Muhammad .135 "O my people! Work according to your way, surely, I too am working (in my way), and you will come to know for which of us will be the (happy) end in the Hereafter. Certainly the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) will not be successful." سورة الأنعام ٦ الجزء ٨ Sûrah 6. Al-An'âm Part 8 193 136. And they assign to Allah a share of the tilth and cattle which He has created, and they say: "This is for Allâh according to their claim, and this is for our (Allah's so-called) partners." But the share of their (Allah's so-called) "partners" reaches not Allâh, while the share of Allâh reaches their (Allah's so-called) "partners"! Evil is the way they judge! 137. And so to many of the Mushrikun (polytheists - see V.2:105) their (Allâh's so-called) "partners" have made fair-seeming the killing of their children, in order to lead them to their own destruction and cause confusion in their religion. And if Allâh had willed, they would not have done so. So leave them alone with their fabrications. 138. And according to their claim, they say that such and such cattle and crops are forbidden, and none should eat of them except those whom we allow. And (they say) there are cattle forbidden to be used for burden (or any other work), and cattle on which (at slaughtering) the Name of Allâh is not pronounced; lying against Him (Allâh). He will recompense them for what they used to fabricate. 139. And they say: "What is in the bellies of such and such cattle (milk or foetus) is for our males alone, and forbidden to our females (girls and women), but if it is born dead, then all have shares therein." He will punish them for their attribution (of such false orders to Allâh). Verily, He is All-Wise, All-Knower. (Tafsir At-Tabarî ). 140. Indeed lost are they who have killed their children, foolishly, without knowledge, and have forbidden that which Allâh has provided for them, inventing a lie against Allâh.

[2] صلى الله عليه وسلم I heard Allah's Messenger: رضى الله عنه Narrated Abu Hurairah (6:143 .٧) saying, "While a shepherd was amongst his sheep, a wolf attacked them and took away one sheep. When the shepherd chased the wolf, the wolf turned towards him and said, 'Who will be their guard on the day of wild animals when nobody except I will be their shepherd' *. And while a man was driving a cow with a load on it, it turned towards him and spoke to him saying, 'I have not been created for this purpose, but for ploughing.' "The people said, "Glorified be Allah." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "But I believe in it and so does Abu Bakr and 'Umar رضى الله عنهم." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 5, Hadith No. 15). *It has been written that a wolf also spoke to a shepherd during the Prophet's lifetime near Al-Madinah, as narrated in Musnad Imam Ahmad in the Musnad of Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri Ja, While a shepherd was in):رضى الله عنه Vol. 3, Page 83) :Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri) الله عنه his herd of sheep), suddenly a wolf attacked a sheep and took it away, the shepherd chased the wolf and took back the sheep, the wolf sat on its tail and addressed the shepherd saying: "Be afraid of Allah, you have taken the provision from me which Allâh gave me." The shepherd said: "What an amazing thing! A wolf sitting on its tail speaks to me in the language of a human being." The wolf said: "Shall I tell you something more amazing than this? There is Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم the Messenger of Allah in Yathrib (Al-Madinah) informing the people about the news of the past." Then the shepherd (after hearing that) proceeded (towards Al-Madinah) driving his sheep till he entered Al-Madinah, (صلى الله عليه وسلم cornered his sheep in a place, and came to Allah's Messenger (Muhammad and informed the whole story. Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم ordered for the proclamation of a congregational salat (صلاة جامعة) then he صلى الله عليه وسلم came out and asked the shephered to inform the people (about the story), and he informed them. Then Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "He (the shepherd) has spoken the truth. By Him (Allâh) in Whose Hands my soul is, the Day of Resurrection will not be established till beasts of prey (_) speak to the human beings, and the stick lash and the shoe-laces of a person speak to him and his thigh inform him about his family as to what happened to them after him. سورة الأنعام ٦ الجزء ٨ 195 Surah 6.

And of the camels two (male and female), and of oxen two (male and female). Say: "Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or (the young) which the wombs of the two females enclose? Or were you present when Allâh ordered you such a thing? Then who does more wrong than one who invents a lie against Allâh, to lead mankind astray without knowledge. Certainly Allâh guides not the people who are Zâlimun (polytheists and wrong-doers )." 145. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "I find not in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maitah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork); for that surely is impure or impious (unlawful) meat (of an animal) which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allâh (or has been slaughtered for idols or on which Allah's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). But whosoever is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits; (for him) certainly, your Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." 146. And unto those who are Jews, We forbade every (animal) with undivided hoof, and We forbade them the fat of the ox and the sheep except what adheres to their backs or their entrails, or is mixed up with a bone. Thus We recompensed them for their rebellion [committing crimes like murdering the Prophets and eating of Ribâ (usury)]. And verily, We are Truthful. 147. If they (Jews) belie you (Muhammad say: "Your Lord is the Owner (صلى اللّه عليه وسلم of Vast Mercy, and never will His Wrath be turned back from the people who are Mujrimûn (criminals, polytheists or sinners)." 148.

Likewise belied those who were before them, (they argued falsely with Allâh's Messengers), till they tasted Our Wrath. Say: "Have you any knowledge (proof) that you can produce before us? Verily, you follow nothing but guess and you do nothing but lie." 149. Say: "With Allâh is the perfect proof and argument, (i.e. the Oneness of Allâh, the sending of His Messengers and His Holy Books to mankind); had He so willed, He would indeed have guided you all." 150. Say: "Bring forward your witnesses, who can testify that Allâh has forbidden this. Then if they testify, testify not you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with them. And you should not follow the vain desires of such as treat Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) as falsehoods, and such as believe not in the Hereafter, and they hold others as equal (in worship) with their Lord." :(صلى الله عليه وسلم Say (O Muhammad .151 "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them; come not near to Al-Fawahish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly; and kill not anyone whom Allâh has forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Islâmic law). This He has commanded you that you may understand. 152. "And come not near to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he (or she) attains the age of full strength; and give full measure and full weight with justice We burden not any person, but that which he can bear.

"And verily, this (i.e. Allâh's Commandments mentioned in the above two Verses 151 and 152) is My Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path.

Then, We gave Mûsâ (Moses) the Book [the Taurât (Torah)], to complete (Our Favour) upon those who would do right, and explaining all things in detail and a guidance and a mercy that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord. 155. And this is a blessed Book (the Qur'ân) which We have sent down, so follow it and fear Allâh (i.e. do not disobey His Orders), that you may receive mercy (i.e. be saved from the torment of Hell). 156. Lest you (pagan Arabs) should say: "The Book was sent down only to two sects before us (the Jews and the Christians), and for our part, we were in fact unaware of what they studied." 157. Or lest you (pagan Arabs) should say: "If only the Book had been sent down to us, we would surely have been better guided than they (Jews and Christians)." So now has come unto you a clear proof (the Qur'an) from your Lord, and a guidance and a mercy. Who then does more wrong than one who rejects the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh and turns away therefrom? We shall requite those who turn away from Our Ayât with an evil torment, because of their turning away (from them). [Tafsir At-Tabari] [1] (V.6:152): A) See the footnotes of (V. 3:130).

Do they then wait for anything other than that the angels should come to them, or that your Lord (Allah) should come, or that some of the Signs of your Lord should come (i.e. portents of the Hour e.g., rising of the sun from the west)! The day that some of the Signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by performing deeds of righteousness) through his Faith.

Verily, those who divide their religion and break up into sects (all kinds of صلى الله religious sects) , you (O Muhammad .have no concern in them in the least (عليه وسلم Their affair is only with Allâh, Who then will tell them what they used to do. 160.

(6:158) (Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No.159). B) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said; "When the following three signs appear, no good will it do to a person to believe then if he believed not before: 1) Rising of the sun from the west. 2) (The coming of Al-Masîh) Ad-Dajjal. 3) (The coming out of the) Dabbat-ul-Ard (i.e. a beast from the earth)." (Sahih Muslim - The Book of Fitan - The Signs of the coming of the Hour). C) .

He is blind in one eye, and your Lord is not so, and there will be written between his (Al-Masih- Ad-Dajjal's) eyes (the word) Kafir (i.e., disbeliever)." [This Hadîth is also quoted by Abu Hurairah and Ibn 'Abbas. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Hadîth No. 245)]. [2] (V. 6:159) It is said that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم recited this Verse and said: "These people are those who invent new things (Bid'ah) in religion and the followers of the vain desires of this Muslim nation, and their repentance will not be accepted by Allâh." (Tafsir Al- Qurtubi ). [It has been narrated in the Hadîth Books (At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Abu Dawud) that the Prophet صلى اللّه عليه وسلم said: "The Jews and the Christians will be divided into seventy-one or seventy-two religious sects and this nation will be divided into seventy-three religious sects, - all in Hell, except one, and that one is: on which I and my Companions are today, i.e. following the Qur'an and the Prophet's Sunnah (legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements)"]. سورة الأنعام ٦ الجزء ٨ Part 8 199 Surah 6.

[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings.] 2. (This is the) Book (the Qur'an) sent ,(صلى الله عليه وسلم down unto you (O Muhammad so let not your breast be narrow therefrom, that you warn thereby; and a reminder unto the believers. 3. [Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) to these idolaters (pagan Arabs) of your folk:] Follow what has been sent down unto you from your Lord (the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad's Sunnah), and follow not any Auliyâ' (protectors and helpers who order you to associate partners in worship with Allâh), besides Him (Allâh). Little do you remember! 4. And a great number of towns (their population) We destroyed (for their crimes). Our torment came upon them (suddenly) by night or while they were taking their midday nap. 5. No cry did they utter when Our Torment came upon them but this: "Verily we were Zâlimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)". 6. Then surely, We shall question those (people) to whom it (the Book) was sent and verily, We shall question the Messengers. 7. Then surely, We shall narrate unto them (their whole story) with knowledge, and indeed We have not been absent. 8. And the weighing on that day (Day of Resurrection) will be the true (weighing) 1. بِسمِاللهِ الرَّحْمِ الرَّحِيمِ النصّ ! كِتَبْ أُفِلَ إِلَيْكَ فَلَا يَكُنْ فِ صَدْرِكَ حَرَجٌ مِنْهُ لِنُنذِرَ بِهِ، وَذِكْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَتَّبِعُواْ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِن رَّبِّكُمْوَلَا تَنَّبِعُواْ مِن دُونِهِ، أَوْلِيَاءٌ قَلِيلًا مَا تَذَكَّرُونَ وَكَمْ مِن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْتَهَا فَجَاءَ هَا بَأْسُنَابَيْتًا أَوْهُمْ قَآئِلُونَ فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوَنُهُمْ إِذْ جَآءَ هُمْ بَأْسُنَا إِلَّ أَنْ قَالُواْ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَلِينَ فَلَنَسْتَكَنَّ الَّذِينَ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَنَسْتَلَنَّ اٌلْمُرْسَلِينَ فَلَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِعِلٍَّ وَمَا كُنَّا غَيِبِينَ وَالْوَزْنُ يَوْمَيِذٍ الْحَقِّ فَمَن تَقُلَتْ مَوَزِينُهُ. :عز وجل V.7:8) The Statement of Allah) [1] "And We shall set up balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection." (V.21:47). سورة الأعراف ٧ الجزء ٨ 201 Part 8 Surah 7. Al-A'râf So as for those whose scale (of good deeds) will be heavy, they will be the successful (by entering Paradise). 9. And as for those whose scale will be light, they are those who will lose their ownselves (by entering Hell) because they denied and rejected Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). 10. And surely, We gave you authority on the earth and appointed for you therein provisions (for your life). Little thanks do you give. 11. And surely, We created you (your father Adam) and then gave you shape (the noble shape of a human being); then We told the angels, "Prostrate yourselves to Adam", and they prostrated themselves, except Iblis (Satan), he refused to be of those who prostrated themselves. 12. (Allâh) said: "What prevented you (O Iblîs) that you did not prostrate yourself, when I commanded you?" Iblis said: "I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay." 13. (Allâh) said: "(O Iblîs) get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced." فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ A وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَزِينُهُ فَأُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُواْ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ بِثَايَتِنَا يَظْلِمُونَ وَلَقَدْ مَكَّتَكُمْ فِ الْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْفِهَا مَعَِشَرْ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ( وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْتَكُمْ ثُمَّصَوَّرْنَكُمْ ثُمَّقُلْنَا لِلْمَلَتِكَةِ أَسْجُدُواْلَِّدَمَ فَسَجَدُوَأْ إِلَّ إِبْلِيسَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِّنَ السَّجِدِينَ قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَّ قَالَ أَنَأْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِ مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن ◌ِينٍ قَالَ فَاهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَنْ تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيَهَا فَاخْرُجْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الصَّخِرِينَ Cor The deeds and the statement of Adam's offspring will be weighed. Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "(There are) two words (expressions or sayings) which are dear to the Most Gracious (Allah) and very easy for the tongue to say, but very heavy in the balance. They are: سبحان الله وبحمده - سبحان الله العظيم ‘Subhân Allâhi-wa bihamdihi - Subhan Allâhil-'Azîm.'"* (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.9, Hadîth No.652). * 'Glorified is Allah and praised is He' - 'Glorified is Allah, the Most Great.' (or I deem Allâh above all those unsuitable things ascribed to Him, and free Him from resembling anything whatsoever, and I glorify His Praises! I deem Allah, the Most Great above all those unsuitable things ascribed to Him and free Him from resembling anything whatsoever). سورة الأعراف ٧ الجزء ٨ 202 Part 8 Surah 7.

(Iblîs) said: "Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)." 15. (Allâh) said: "You are of those respited." 16. (Iblîs) said: "Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path. 17. "Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You)." 18. (Allâh) said (to Iblîs): "Get out from this (Paradise), disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you, then surely I will fill Hell with you all." 19. "And O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in Paradise, and eat thereof as you both wish, but approach not this tree otherwise you both will be of the Zâlimun (unjust and wrong-doers)." 20. Then Shaitân (Satan) whispered suggestions to them both in order to uncover that which was hidden from them of their private parts (before); he said: "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree save that you should become angels or become of the immortals." 21. And he [Shaitân (Satan)] swore by Allâh to them both (saying): "Verily, I am one of the sincere well-wishers for you both." 22. So he misled them with deception. Then when they tasted of the tree, that which was hidden from them of their shame (private parts) became manifest to them and they began to cover themselves with the leaves of Paradise (in order to cover their shame). And their Lord called out to them (saying): "Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you: Verily, Shaitân (Satan) is an open enemy unto you?" سورة الأعراف ٧ الجزء ٨ 203 Part 8 Surah 7. Al-A'râf قَالَ رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَسِرِينَ ٢٣ قَالَ أَهْبِطُوْبَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ وَلَكُمْ فِى الْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّوَ مَتَعُ إِلَىحِينٍ قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَاتَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ لـ TO يَبَنِىّءَادَمَ قَدْأَلْنَا عَلَيْكُلِبَاسًا بُوَرِى سَوْءَاتِكُمْ وَرِيشَّاٌ وَلِبَاسُ النَّقْوَى ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ ذَلِكَ مِنْ ءَايَتِ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ يَبَنِىّءَادَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَرُ كَمَا أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُمْ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِيَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءَتِهِمَأْ إِنَّهُ بَرَنَكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَوْنَهُمُّ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيَطِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٧ وَإِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَاحِشَةً قَالُواْ وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَا ءَابَآءَنَا وَهُأَمَنَا بِهَأْقُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٢٨ 23. They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not, and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers." 24. (Allâh) said: "Get down, one of you is an enemy to the other [i.e. Adam, Hawwâ' (Eve), and Shaitân (Satan)]. On earth will be a dwelling-place for you and an enjoyment for a time." 25. He said: "Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall be brought out (i.e. resurrected)." 26. O Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover yourselves (screen your private parts) and as an adornment; and the raiment of righteousness, that is better. Such are among the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, that they may remember (i.e. leave falsehood and follow truth11 27. O Children of Adam! Let not Shaitân (Satan) deceive you, as he got your parents [Adam and Hawwa' (Eve)] out of Paradise, stripping them of their raiments, to show them their private parts. Verily, he and Qabîluhu (his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see them. Verily, We made the Shayâtîn (devils) Auliyâ' (protectors and helpers) for those who believe not. 28. And when they commit a Fâhishah (evil deed, going round the Ka'bah in naked state, and every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse), they say: "We found our fathers doing it, and Allâh has commanded it on us." Say: "Nay, Allâh never commands Fâhishah. Do you say of Allâh what you know not?" [1] (V.7:26) It is said that the pagan Arabs in the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance used to do Tawaf (going round) of the Ka'bah in a naked state. So when Islam became victorious and Makkah was conquered, the pagans and the polytheists were forbidden to enter Makkah, and none was allowed to do Tawaf of the Ka'bah in a naked state. Surah 7. Al-A'râf Part 8 204 الجزء ٨ سورة الأعراف ٧ 29. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم):My Lord has commanded justice and (said) that you should face Him only (i.e. worship none but Allâh and face the Qiblah, i.e. the Ka'bah at Makkah during prayers) in every place of worship, in prayers (and not to face other false deities and idols), and invoke Him only making your religion sincere to Him (by not joining in worship any partner with Him and with the intention that you are doing your deeds for Allâh's sake only). As He brought you (into being) in the beginning, so shall you be brought into being [on the Day of Resurrection in two groups, one as a blessed one (believers), and the other as a wretched one (disbelievers)]. 30. A group He has guided, and a group deserved to be in error; (because) surely they took the Shayâtîn (devils) as Auliyâ' (protectors and helpers) instead of Allâh, and think that they are guided. 31. O Children of Adam! Take your adornment (by wearing your clean clothes), while praying111 and going round (the Tawaf of ) the Ka'bah, and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allâh) likes not Al-Musrifun (those who waste by extravagance). قُلْ أَمَرَرَضِ بِالْقِسْطِ وَأَقِيمُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَأَدْ عُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ كَمَابَدَأَ كُمْ تَعُدُونَ فَرِيقًا هَدَى وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الضَّلََةُ إِنَّهُمُ أَّخَذُواْالشَّيَطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ ( ﴿ يَبَنِىّءَآدَمَ خُذُ واْزِينَتَّكُمْ عِندَكُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُواْ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوَأَ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِتُّ اٌلْمُسْرِفِينَ [1] (V.7:31) It is obligatory to wear the clothes while praying. And the Statement of Allâh Ja , ;c: "Take your adornment [(by wearing your clean clothes) covering completely the 'Aurah (covering of one's 'Aurah means: while praying, a male must cover himself with clothes from the umbilicus of his abdomen up to his knees, and it is better that both his shoulders should be covered. And a female must cover all her body and feet except face, and it is better that both her hands are also covered)], while praying and going round (the Tawaf of) the Ka'bah." In how many (what sort of) clothes a woman should pray? 'Ikrimah said, "If she can cover all her body with one garment, it is sufficient."* * It is agreed by the majority of the religious scholars that a woman while praying should cover herself completely except her face, and it is better that she should cover her hands with gloves or cloth. but her feet must be covered either with a long dress or she must wear socks to cover her feet. This verdict is based on the Prophet's statement (Abu Dawud). Narrated 'Aishah رضى الله عنها :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم used to offer the Fajr prayer and some believing women covered with their veiling sheets used to attend the Fajr prayer with him, and then they would return to their homes unrecognized. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.1, Hadîth No.368). سورة الأعراف ٧ الجزء ٨ 205 Surah 7.

Say: "They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) exclusively for them (believers) on the Day of Resurrection (the disbelievers will not share them)." Thus We explain the Ayât (Islamic laws) in detail for people who have knowledge. :(صلى الله عليه وسلم Say (O Muhammad .33 "(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are Al-Fawâhish (great evil sins and every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous oppression, joining partners (in worship) with Allâh for which He has given no authority, and saying things about Allâh of which you have no knowledge." 34. And every nation has its appointed term; when their term comes, neither can they delay it nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment). 35. O Children of Adam! If there come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting to you My Verses, then whosoever becomes pious and righteous, on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve. 36. But those who reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations) and treat them with arrogance, they are the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire, they will abide therein forever. 37. Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allâh or rejects His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations)? For such their appointed portion (good things of this worldly life and their period of stay therein) will reach them from the Book (of Decrees) until when Our Messengers (the angel of death and his assistants) come to them to take their souls, سورة الأعراف ٧ الجزء ٨ 206 Part 8 Sûrah 7.

And they will bear witness against themselves, that they were disbelievers. 38. (Allâh) will say: "Enter you in the company of nations who passed away before you, of men and jinn, into the Fire." Every time a new nation enters, it curses its sister nation (that went before) until they will be gathered all together in the Fire. The last of them will say to the first of them: "Our Lord! These misled us, so give them a double torment of the Fire." He will say: "For each one there is double (torment), but you know not." 39. The first of them will say to the last of them: "You were not better than us, so taste the torment for what you used to earn." 40. Verily, those who belie Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations) and treat them with arrogance, for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle (which is impossible). Thus do We recompense the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists and sinners). 41. Theirs will be a bed of Hell (Fire), and over them coverings (of Hell-fire). Thus do We recompense the Zâlimun (polytheists and wrong-doers). 42. But those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), and worked righteousness - We tax not any person beyond his scope - such are the dwellers of Paradise. They will abide therein. 43. And We shall remove from their breasts any (mutual) hatred or sense of injury (which they had, if at all, in the life of this world); rivers flowing under them, and they will say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, Who has guided us to this, and never
