Sūrah Yunus 10:39-44
بَلْ كَذَّبُواْ بِمَا لَمْ يُحِيطُواْ بِعِلْمِهِ، وَلَمَّا يَأْتِهِمْ تَأْوِيلُهُ، كَذَلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ، وَمِنْهُم
قَبْلِهِوَّ فَنْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَقِبَةُ الظَّالِمِينَ
٣٩
وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِىِ عَمَلِىِ
مَّن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ، وَرَبُّكَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُفْسِدِينَ
وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ
وَلَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْ أَنْتُم بَرِيْئُونَ مِمَّا أَعْمَلُ وَأَنَاْ بَرِىٌّ مِّمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنْظُرُ
يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ أَفَنْتَ تُشْمِعُ الضُّمَّ وَلَوْ كَانُواْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
إِلَيْكَّ أَقَنْتَ تَهْدِى الْعُمْىَ وَلَوْ كَانُوْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ
٤٤
النَّاسَ شَيْئًا وَلَكِنَّ النَّاسَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
But they have rejected a thing they could not comprehend with
knowledge, while its ultimate end has not appeared to them as yet.
12
Similarly those who passed before them had rejected the truth. So, look
how was the fate of the unjust. [39] And among them there are those who
believe in it, and among them there are others who do not believe in it.
And your Lord has the best knowledge about the mischief-makers. [40]
And if they give the lie to you, say, "For me, my deed, and for you, your
deed. You are not accountable for what I do, and I am not accountable
for what you do." [41] And among them there are those who listen to
you. Would you, then, make the deaf hear, even though they lack
understanding? [42] And among them there are those who look at you.
Would you, then, guide the blind even when they have no insight? [43]
Surely, Allah does not wrong people at all, but the people do wrong their
own selves. [44]
this verse can by no means be taken as confirming the versions of these
scriptures as they exist today.
12) According to some exegetes, it means that no divine scourge has yet
appeared to them. Some others interpret it as referring to the wide acceptance
the Holy Qur'an secured later, and still others take it as a reference to the events
foretold by the Holy Qur'an, like the life after death.

Sūrah Yunus 10:45-51
وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ كَنْ لَّمْ يَلْبَثُواْ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّنَ النَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيْنَهُمَّ قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِينَ

The Day when He will gather them (in the next life,) they will feel as if
they had not stayed (in the world) any longer than a fraction of a day.
They will recognize each other. Losers, indeed, are those who deny that
they will ever face Allah; they are not on the right path. [45] No matter
whether We show you (during your life) some of what We warn them of,
or We take you back to Us (before it), in any case, they have to return to
Us. Then, Allah is witness to what they do. [46] For every people there is
a messenger. So, when their messenger comes, the matter is decided
between them with justice, and they are not wronged. [47]
They say, "When will this promise (of punishment to the disbelievers) be
fulfilled if you are true?" [48] Say, "I have no power to bring a harm or a
benefit to myself, except what Allah wills. For every people there is an
appointed time. When their time comes, they are not able to put it off for
a moment, nor are they able to go ahead of it." [49]
Say, "Just tell me, if His punishment befalls you at night or by day, what
(desirable thing) will it have that the sinners are asking it so hurriedly?
[50] Is it only when it befalls you that you will believe in it? (It will be
said to you at that time, "Have you believed) now, while you used to
demand (in mockery) that it should come sooner?" [51]

Sūrah Yunus 10:52-58
ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوْ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ الْخُلْدِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا بِمَا كُمُ تَكْسِبُونَ

السَّمَوَنِ وَالْأَرْضُِّ أَلَا إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ.

فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُواْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَا يَجْمَعُونَ
Then it will be said to the unjust, "Taste the punishment lasting for ever.
You shall not be punished except for what you have been earning." [52]
They ask you to tell them whether it is true. Say, "Yes, by my Lord, it is
true. And you cannot frustrate (Allah's plan)." [53]
If anyone who did wrong possesses all that is on the earth, he would
(agree to) ransom himself with it. And they will conceal their remorse
when they will see the punishment. And the matter will be decided
between them with justice and they will not be wronged. [54] Look! To
Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Look! Allah's
promise is certainly true, but most of them do not know. [55] He gives
life and brings death, and to Him you shall be returned. [56]
O men, there has come to you an advice from your Lord, and a cure for
the ailments of your hearts, and guidance and mercy for the believers.
[57] Say, "With the grace of Allah and with His mercy (this book has
been revealed). So they should rejoice in it. It is much better than that
(wealth) which they accumulate." [58]

Say, "Have you ever considered, whatever provision Allah has sent down
for your benefit, you have made up unlawful and lawful from it?" 13 Say,
"Has Allah permitted you or are you fabricating a lie against Allah?" [59]
What is the assumption of those who fabricate a lie against Allah (about)
the Day of Judgment? Indeed Allah is gracious to people, but most of
them are not grateful. [60] In whatever condition you are, and whatever
portion of the Qur'an you recite therein, and whatever work you all do,
We are present before you when you are engaged in it. Hidden from your
Lord is nothing even to the measure of a particle on the earth or in the
heavens. And there is nothing smaller or greater that is not in the clear
Book. [61]
Listen, the friends of Allah shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve
[62] __ those who have believed and have been fearful of Allah. [63] For
them there is the good news in the worldly life and in the Hereafter: there
is no change in the words of Allah. That is the great achievement. [64]
13) The pagans of Makkah had taken certain lawful things as unlawful. The
details have already appeared in Sūrah Al-An'ām (5:138-139)

(O Prophet,) what they say should not make you grieve. Surely, all power
belongs to Allah. He is All-Hearing, All Knowing. [65]
Listen, to Allah belong all those in the heavens and all those on the earth.
And those who invoke associate-gods besides Allah do not follow a
reality. They follow nothing but whims and do nothing but make
conjectures. [66] He is the One who made for you the night, so that you
may have rest in it, and (made) the day to see. Indeed, there are signs
therein for a people who listen. [67]
They say, "Allah has got a son." Pure is He. He is Self-Sufficient. To
Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. You have
no proof for it. Do you allege about Allah what you do not know? [68]
Say: Those who fabricate lies against Allah shall not prosper. [69] It will
be a little enjoyment in this world; thereafter to Us they are bound to
return; then We shall make them taste the severe punishment, because
they used to disbelieve. [70]

Recite to them the story of (the Prophet) Nuh (Noah), 14 when he said to
his people, "O my people, if it is hard on you that I stay (with you) and give
(you) advice through the signs of Allah, then, in Allah I place my trust. So,
be firm in your plan (against me) with (the help of) all your partners, and
your plan should not be a cause of concern for you; then carry it out
against me and give me no respite. 15 [71] Still, if you turn away, then, I did
not demand any reward from you. My reward is with none except Allah,
and I have been commanded to be among those who submit." [72] Then
they rejected him, and We saved him and those with him in the Ark and
made them the successors, and drowned those who gave the lie to Our
signs. So look how was the fate of those who were warned. [73] Then, after
him, We sent messengers to their peoples, and they came to them with
clear signs, but they were not to believe in what they had rejected earlier.
This is how We seal the hearts of the transgressors. [74]
14) The most comprehensive account of the Holy Prophet Nuh Hi and his
people found in the Holy Qur'an is in Surah Hud (11:25 to 49) and Sūrah Nuh
(71: 1 onwards). References to him are also made in 3:33, 6:84, 21:76, 23:23,
29:14, 42:13, and 57:26.
15) Here the Holy Prophet Nuh you has challenged them to bring whatever
harm they could bring to him with the help of their so-called gods, because his
sole trust was in Allah, the real Creator of the universe. This open challenge in
itself proved his sincerity and truth, but if they did not respond to his call, he

Then, after them, We sent Mūsa 16 and Harun with Our signs to Pharaoh
and his group, but they showed arrogance. And they were surely a guilty
people. [75] So, when Truth came to them from Us, they said, "It is
certainly a clear magic." [76] Mūsā said, "Do you say (this) about the
Truth when it came to you? Is this magic, while the magicians do not
achieve success?" [77]
They said, "Have you come to us to turn us away from the way on which
we have found our fathers, and so that you both have supremacy on
earth? We are not going to believe in you." [78] And Pharaoh said, "Bring
to me every knowledgeable magician." [79] So, when the magicians
came, Mūsā said to them, "Cast what you have to cast." [80] So, when
they had cast, Mūsa said, "All that you have brought is magic. Allah will
certainly bring it to naught. Be assured that Allah does not set right the
work of the mischief-makers." [81]
declared that he did not demand any remuneration for the services he rendered
to them, thus having neither any fear from them nor any favor.

And Allah establishes the truth through His words, even though the
guilty ones may dislike it. [82] Then, except some youths of his people,
mo one believed in Mūsā for the fear of Pharaoh and his group, lest he
should persecute them. Pharaoh was high-handed in the land and he was
af those who crossed all limits. [83] And Musa said, "My people, if you
have believed in Allah, then, in Him place your trust if you are obedient."
[4] So, they said, "In Allah we have placed our trust: Our Lord, do not
make us a victim of the unjust people, [85] and save us, through Your
mercy, from the disbelieving people."[86]
And We revealed to Mūsā and his brother: "Have houses for your people
17
in Egypt, and make your houses worship oriented, and establish Salah,
and give good tidings to the believers." [87] Mūsā said, "Our Lord, You
have given Pharaoh and his group glamour and riches in the worldly life,
that, our Lord, they mislead (people) from Your path. Our Lord,
abliterate their riches and harden their hearts, so that they may not come
un believe until they witness the painful punishment." [88]
This means that they should pray at their homes, and the obligation to
utend the mosque for prayer has been relaxed for them due to the Pharaoh's
oppression.

Allah said, "The prayer of the two of you has been granted; so stand firm,
and never follow the way of the ignorant." [89]
And We let the children of Isra'il cross the sea. So, Pharaoh and his troops
chased them in transgression and hostility, until when he was about to
drown, he said, "I believe that there is no god but the One in whom the
children of Isrã'il believe, and I am among those who submit to Allah."
[90] (Allah said,) "Is it now (that you have come to believe) while you
were rebellious all along, and you were among the mischief-makers? [91
So, today, We shall save your body, so that you may become a sign for
those after you. "And many of the people are heedless of Our signs." [92
And surely We gave the children of Isra'il a proper place to live, and
provided them with good things. Then they did not disagree between
themselves but after knowledge had come to them. "Surely, Allah will
decide between them on the Day of Judgment about the matters in which
they used to dispute each other. [93]
18) The body of the Pharaoh was protected by Allah and was found floating on
the surface of the sea. According to the modern research, the name of this
Pharaoh was Minpetah, and his mummified body may still be seen in the
museum of Cairo. This is one of the miraculous statements of the Holy Qur'az
the correct nature of which came to light centuries after its revelation.
19) The import of this verse is that, after receiving enormous favors from Allah
as aforesaid, the Israelites were supposed to be grateful to Allah, and more

So, (O prophet,) even if you are in doubt about what We have sent down
to you, ask those who read the Book (revealed) before you. 20 Surely,
truth has come to you from your Lord, so never be among those who are
suspicious. [94] And never be among those who have rejected Allah's
signs, lest you should be among the losers. [95]
Surely, those against whom the Word of your Lord stands settled will not
believe, [96] even though every sign comes to them, unless they witness
the painful punishment. [97] So, how is it that there never was a town,
which could have believed and its belief would have been of benefit to it,
except the people of Yunus? When they came to believe, We removed
from them the punishment of humiliation in the worldly life and let them
enjoy themselves for some time. 21 [98]
active in obedience to Him. But on the contrary, they started raising disputes in
the matter of religion, not because they lacked the knowledge of the divine
book, but after having full knowledge of its conte ts.
20) This verse is though addressed to the Holy Prophet who did never have
any doubt whatsoever about the Qur'an, it is in fact a subtle and indirect
admonition to those who did inculcate doubts about the veracity of the Holy
Qur'an. The phrase 'Those who read the Book' refers to the Jews and the
Christians who had the knowledge of Torah and Injil and confirmed that these
books contained prophecies about the Last Messenger and some of his
distinct signs that were fully available with the Holy Prophet Muhammad .
11) Verse 97 has mentioned that the staunch polytheists will not believe unless
they witness the divine punishment, but their belief at that point of time will not

Had your Lord willed, all those on earth would have believed altogether
Would you, then, compel people, so that they become believers? 21 [99]
It is not (possible) for any one that he believes except with the will of
Allah. And He makes filth settle on those who do not understand. [100]
Say, "Look at what is there in the heavens and the earth." But, signs and
warnings do not suffice a people who do not believe. [101] So, are they
waiting for nothing short of something like the days of those who have
passed before them? Say, "So wait. I am with you, among those who are
waiting." [102]
Then We (used to) save Our messengers and those who believed
Similarly, it being undertaken by Us, We shall save the believers. [103]
benefit them, because belief is required before one witnesses any sign of the
Unseen realm, either on his death or on seeing the divine scourge. The present
verse says that no nation has ever come to believe collectively before witnessing
the divine scourge, except the nation of Yunus Har. As soon as their prophet left
them after warning them of the divine punishment and they sensed that the
scourge was about to befall them, all of them repented and came to believe
before the divine scourge would seize them. Therefore, Allah accepted their
repentance and removed the punishment from them. The story of Yunus
also referred to in 21:87, 37:139-148 and 68:48-50. For a little more details of
the incident, see note on 21:87
21) Allah had the power to compel all the people to believe in the right faith
but it would defeat the purpose of the test for which the world is created
People are required to believe with their free will, and not by compulsion.

those whom you worship beside Allah. Rather, I worship Allah who brings
death to you. And I have been ordained to be among the believers, [104]
and that I should make myself firm on Faith, being upright, and never
should be among the Mushriks (who ascribe partners to Allah)." [105]
And do not invoke, other than Allah, what neither benefits you nor harms
you, for, if you do so, then you will surely be one of the unjust. [106]
If Allah brings some harm to you, there is none to remove it except He.
And if He intends to bring some good to you, there is none to turn His
grace back. He brings it to whomever He wills from among His servants.
He is the Most-Forgiving, the Very Merciful. [107]
Say, "O people, the truth has come to you from your Lord. So, whoever
accepts guidance accepts it to his own benefit, and whoever goes astray
does so to his own detriment. And I am not responsible for you." [108]
Follow what is being revealed to you, and be patient until Allah gives His
judgment, and He is the best of all judges. [109]

Sūrah Hud 11
Introduction
Like other Makkī Surahs, the main focus of this Surah is on the basic articles
of faith, namely the Oneness of Allah, the messenger-ship of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad and the Life after death. In order to invite people
to believe in these realities, the styles adopted vary from soft advices to stern
warnings. It is in the latter context that the stories of several prophets and
their nations are narrated in more elaborate manner than in the previous
Surah. The name of this Surah refers to the Noble Prophet Hud this whose
story is narrated in verses 50 to 60.

SŪRAH HŪD
This Sūrah is Makki and comprises 123 'ayat (verses)
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful
Alif, Lām , Rā . 1 (This is) a book the verses of which have been made
firm, and elaborated by the One who is All Wise, All Aware, [1] (directing
the Prophet to say to the people,) "You must not worship anyone other
than Allah; I am for you a warner from Him, and a bearer of glad tidings;
[2] and you must seek forgiveness from your Lord, then, turn to Him in
repentance, and He will provide you with good things to enjoy for a given
time, and bestow His extra favor on everyone who has extra good deeds
(in his account). And if you turn away, then, I fear for you the
punishment of a terrible day. [3] To Allah is your return, and He is
powerful over everything." [4] Beware, they bend their chests to hide
from Him. Beware, when they cover up themselves with their clothes, He
knows what they hide and what they expose. 2 Surely, He is All Aware of
what lies in the hearts. [5]
1)Please see note No.1 of Sūrah Al-Baqarah (Sūrah 2).
2)Some pagans of Makkah used to avoid every opportunity to face the Holy
Prophet , lest they should have to listen to his message. For that purpose,
they had at times to bend their bodies and cover themselves with their clothes
to escape the attention of the Holy Prophet . Some others used to conspire
against Muslims in that fashion under the foolish belief that they would hide
their conspiracies from Allah. The verse refers to the folly of all such people.

Sūrah Hud 11:6-11
﴿ وَمَا مِن دَابَةٍ فِ اُلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى الَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْنَفَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا كُلٌّ فِى
وَهُوَ الَّذِىِ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِى سِنَّةٍ أَيَّامٍ

وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلَاْ وَلَيِن قُلْتَ
إِنَّكُمْ مَبْعُوثُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُبِينٌ
وَلَيِنْ أَخْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ إِلَى أُمَِّ مَّعْدُودَةٍ لَيْقُولُنَّ مَا يَحِسُهُ: أَلَا يَوْمَ
وَلَيْنْ
يَأْنِهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِ، يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
أْ وَلَيِنْ
أَذَقْنَا اُلْإِنسَنَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَهَا مِنْهُ إِنَّهُ، لَيَتُوسُ كَفُورٌ
أَذَقْنَهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَآءَ مَسَّتُهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّئَاتُ عَنَّّ إِنَّهُ، لَفَرِعٌ فَخُورُ
﴿ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّلِحَتِ أُوْلَئِكَ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرُ كَبِيرٌ
There is no creature on earth whose sustenance is not undertaken by
Allah. He knows its permanent and its temporary place. Everything is in
a clear book. [6]
He is the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days, while
His throne was on water, so that He might test you as to who among you
is better in deed. And if you say, "You shall be raised after death," the
disbelievers will surely say, "This is nothing but sheer magic." [7] And
if We defer the punishment for them for a certain time, they will say,
"What is holding it back?" Beware, the day it will visit them, it shall not
be turned back from them, and they shall be besieged by what they used
to ridicule. [8]
If We give man a taste of Our mercy and then take it away from him, he
becomes highly desperate, utterly ungrateful. [9] And if We give him a
taste of comfort after a hardship has touched him, he will say, "Evils have
gone away from me", (and thus) He will become over-exulting, boastful,
[10] except those who are patient and do good deeds. Such people will
have Allah's forgiveness and a great reward. [11]

Surah Hud 11:12-15
فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌ بَعْضَ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ وَضَابِقٌ بِهِ صَدْرُكَ أَنْ يَقُولُواْ لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ
عَلَيْهِ كَنُّ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُ, مَلَكُ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ نَذِيرٌ وَاَللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَكِيلُ
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ أَفْتَرَنَةٌ قُلْ فَأْتُوْ بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهِ، مُفْتَرَيَتِ وَأَدْعُواْ مَنِ
اُسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ الَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَدِقِينَ [١٥] فَإِلَمْ يَسْتَحِيبُواْ لَكُمْ فَعْلَمُواْ
أَ مَنْ كَانَ
أَنَّمَا أُنزِلَ بِعِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَأَنْ لَّ إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَّ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
يُرِيدُ الْحَيَوَةَ الذُّنْيَا وَزِينَنَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَلَهُمْ فِيَهَا وَهُمْ فِبَهَا لَا يُبْحَسُونَ
Is it then possible from you (O Prophet,) that you will abandon some of
what is being revealed to you, and that your heart will be straitened
thereby, because they say, "Why has a treasure not been sent down to
him or an angel not come with him?" You are but a warner. And Allah
takes care of everything. 3 [12]
Do they say that he has fabricated it? Say (to them), "Then bring ten
Sū rahs like this, fabricated. And call whomsoever you can, other than
Allah, if you are true." 4 [13] So, if they do not respond to your call, then
be assured that it has been sent down with the knowledge of Allah and
that there is no god but He. So, do you submit? [14] Those who seek
merely) the worldly life and its beauty, We will fully recompense them
herein for their acts, and their right will not be curtailed in this world. [15]
3) When the disbelievers raised absurd objections against the Holy Prophet we,
like their demand that he should have brought a treasure of gold and silver or
an angel should have escorted him, he used to feel extreme grief in his heart.
The present verse consoles him that it is not at all expected of him that he
would ever surrender his mission because of such objections, or would omit
some parts of the Qur'an to please his opponents. Therefore, instead of being
disheartened, he should be satisfied with the fact that his obligation is no more
than warning people. The rest should be left to Allah Almighty who will take
care of all his opponents.
4) It was in the beginning that they were challenged to compose ten Surahs like
the Qur'an. When they failed to do so, they were given even a lighter challenge,
in Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Yunus, to produce only a single Surah like that of

409
Sūrah Hud 11:16-17
أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِى الْآَخِرَةِ إِلَّ النَّارِ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُواْ فِيَهَا وَبَطِلٌ
أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَى بَيِنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِهِ، وَبَتْلُوهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ

وَمِن قَبْلِهِ كِنَبُ مُوسَىَ إِمَامًا وَرَحْمَةً أُوْلَِّكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِّ، وَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِهِ.
مِنَ الْأَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُ، فَلَا تَكُ فِى مِرَةٍ مِنَّةً إِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِن زَيِّكَ وَلَكِنَّ
أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Those are the people for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter except
fire. Nullified will be whatever they worked herein, and void will be what
they have been doing. [16] 5
Then, can such people be equal to the one who has a clear proof from his
Lord, followed by an evidence from within, and before which there was
the Book of Mūsa, a guide and a mercy? 6 Such people believe in it; and
whoever of the groups denies its veracity, his promised place is the Fire.
So, do not be in doubt about it. Surely, it is the truth from your Lord, but
most of people do not believe. [17]
the Qur'an. (See 2:23 and 10:38) But, despite all oppositions from the
disbelievers, no one came forward to take up the challenge. This is one of the
self-evident proofs of the divine origin of the Holy Qur'an.
5) The verse signifies that those who do not care at all about the Life after
death, and their activities are restricted only to the benefits of this world are
rewarded for their acts only in this world in two ways. Firstly, their efforts bring
their logical fruits if there is nothing to prevent them. For example, a trader may
earn profits by his commercial activities if they are carried out in their proper
way. Secondly, if the virtuous acts are performed by the unbelievers, who do
not believe in the Hereafter, their reward is given to them right here in this
world by making their life more comfortable, but their virtuous acts will not
bring any fruit in the Hereafter, because, for the purpose of the Hereafter, one's
virtuous acts are accepted only when they are accompanied by his belief in the
basic articles of faith, otherwise he will have to face the punishment of his
disbelief, and his virtuous acts will be void in the Hereafter.
6) 'Clear proof' in this verse refers to the Qur'an, and 'an evidence from within'
signifies its intrinsic qualities, including its miraculous nature, that are sufficient

people will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say,
"These are the ones who lied against their Lord. Lo! the curse of Allah lies
on the unjust, [18] the ones who prevent (people) from the way of Allah
and seek crookedness in it, and who are deniers of the Hereafter." [19]
They were unable to frustrate (Allah's plan) on the earth, and they had no
supporters besides Allah. Punishment will be doubled for them. They were
not able to hear, nor would they see. [20] Those are the ones who brought
loss to their own selves, and all that they used to fabricate vanished from
them. [21] Essentially, they are the worst losers in the Hereafter. [22]
Surely, those who believe and do good deeds and humble themselves
before their Lord, those are the people of Paradise. There they shall live
forever. [23] The example of the two groups is that of a blind and deaf
person on the one hand, and a seeing and hearing one on the other. Are
the two equal when compared? Would you still pay no heed? [24]
to prove that it is a book of Allah. Then "the book of Musa" (Torah) is referred
to because it contained prophecies about the Holy Prophet g and the Qur'an.

Sūrah Hūd 11:25-30
﴿ أَنْ لَّا نَعَبُدُواْ إِلَّ اللَّهُ
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُِّينٌ
فَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ،
إِنِىّ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ
مَا نَرَئِكَ إِلَّا بَشَرًا مِثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَئِكَ أَتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِىَ
قَالَ يَقَوْمِ
الََّبِ وَمَا نَرَى لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَذِينَ
أَرَيْتُمُ إِن كُنتُ عَلَى بِنَةٍ مِّنْ زَّبِ وَءَالَنِى رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِهِ، فَعُمِيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ
وَيَقَوْمِ لَآ أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالَا إِنْ أَجْرِىَ
أَنْزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنتُمْ لَا كَرِهُونَ
٢٨
إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَمَا أَنَاْ بِطَارِدِ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِنَّهُمْ مُلَقُواْ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَكِنِّى أَرَنَّكُمْ
قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ [١٨] وَيَقَوْمِ مَن يَنصُرُّنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ إِن طَرَدُّهُمْ أَفَلَا نَذَكَّرُونَ
We sent Nūh to his people (saying to them): "I am here to warn you [25]
that you should worship none but Allah, (otherwise) I fear for you the
punishment of a painful day." [26] So the chiefs of his people who
disbelieved replied, "We are not seeing that you are anything more than
a man like us, and we are not seeing that any people have followed you
except those who are the meanest among us having shallow opinion,
and we have not seen in you people any superiority over us; rather, we
believe that you are liars." [27]
He said, "O my people, tell me, if I am on a clear path from my Lord, and
He has bestowed mercy upon me from Himself which is hidden from your
sight, shall we, then, impose it upon you by force, while you are averse to
it? [28] And, O my people, I do not demand from you any wealth for it.
My reward is with none but Allah. And I am not the one who could drive
the believers away. "Surely, they will be meeting their Lord (gracefully),
but I do see your behavior is that of ignorance. [29] O my people, who
would help me against (the punishment of) Allah, if I were to drive them
away? Would you still take no lesson? [30]
7) This is in answer to their express or tacit request that the poor believers
around the Prophet Nuh should be driven away, without which they would
not listen to his call.
