[ Holy Quran – Chapter : 21 - Surat : Al-Anbiyaa’ ( The Prophets ) - Verses : 1 - 112 ]
In the name of Allah the Almighty God , the Most Beneficent , the Most Merciful .
Draws near for mankind their
reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness. (1) Comes not unto them an
admonition (a chapter of the Qur'ân) from their Lord as a recent revelation but
they listen to it while they play, (2) With their hearts occupied (with evil
things) Those who do wrong, conceal their private counsels, (saying): "Is
this (Muhammad SAW) more than a human being like you? Will you submit to magic
while you see it?" (3) He (Muhammad SAW) said: "My Lord knows (every)
word (spoken) in the heavens and on earth. And He is the All-Hearer, the
All-Knower." (4) Nay, they say:"These (revelations of the Qur'ân which
are revealed to Muhammad SAW) are mixed up false dreams! Nay, he has invented
them! Nay, he is a poet! Let him then bring us an Ayâh (sign as a proof) like
the ones (Prophets) the former were sent before (with)!" (5) Not one of
the towns (populations), of those which We destroyed, believed before
them (though We sent them signs), will they then believe? (6) And We sent
not before you (O Muhammad SAW) but men to whom We revealed, so ask the people
of the Reminder [Scriptures - the Taurât (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel)] if you
do not know. (7) And We did not create them (the Messengers, with) bodies that
ate not food, nor were they immortals, (8) Then We fulfilled to them the
promise, so We saved them and those whom We willed, but We destroyed
Al-Musrifûn (i.e. disbelivers in Allah, in His Messengers, extravagants
transgressors of Allah's limits by committing crimes, oppression, polytheism
and sins). (9) Indeed, We have sent down for you (O mankind) a Book, (the
Qur'ân) in which there is Dhikrukum, (your Reminder or an honour for you i.e.
honour for the one who follows the teaching of the Qur'ân and acts on its teachings).
Will you not then understand? (10)How many a town (community), given to
wrong-doing, have We destroyed, and raised up after them another
people! (11) Then, when they perceived (saw) Our Torment (coming), behold, they
(tried to) flee from it. (12) Flee not, but return to that wherein
you lived a luxurious life, and to your homes, in order that you may be
questioned. (13) They cried: "Woe to us! Certainly! We have been Zâlimûn
(polytheists, wrong-doers and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh)." (14)
And that cry of theirs ceased not, till We made them as a field that
is reaped, extinct (dead). (15) We created not the heavens and the earth and
all that is between them for a (mere) play[]. (16) Had We intended
to take a pastime (i.e. a wife or a son), We could surely have taken it from
Us, if We were going to do (that). (17) Nay, We fling (send down) the truth
(this Qur'ân) against the falsehood (disbelief), so it destroys it, and behold,
it (falsehood) is vanished. And woe to you for that (lie) which you
ascribe (to Allâh by uttering that Allâh has a wife and a son). (18) To
Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and on earth. And those who are near
Him (i.e. the angels) are not too proud to worship Him, nor are they weary (of
His worship). (19) They (i.e. the angels) glorify His Praises night and day,
(and) they never slacken (to do so) (20) Or have they taken (for
worship) âlihah (gods) from the earth who raise the dead? (21) Had there been
therein (in the heavens and the earth) âlihah (gods) besides Allâh, then verily
both would have been ruined. Glorified is Allâh, the Lord of the Throne, (High
is He) above all that they attribute to Him! (22) He cannot be questioned as to
what He does, while they will be questioned. (23) Or have they taken for worship
(other) âlihah (gods) besides Him? Say: "Bring your proof:" This (the
Qur'ân) is the Reminder for those with me and the Reminder for those before me.
But most of them know not the Truth, so they are averse. (24)And We did
not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad SAW) but We revealed to him
(saying): Lâ ilâha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I
(Allâh)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)." (25) And they say:
"The Most Gracious (Allâh) has begotten a son (or children)." Glory
to Him! They [whom they call children of Allâh i.e. the angels, 'Īsā (Jesus)
son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra)], are but honoured slaves. (26) They speak
not until He has spoken, and they act on His Command. (27) He knows what is
before them, and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him
with whom He is pleased. And they stand in awe for fear of Him. (28) And if any
of them should say: "Verily, I am an ilâh (a god) besides Him
(Allâh)," such a one We should recompense with Hell. Thus We recompense
the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers). (29) Have not those who disbelieve
known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united
piece, then We parted them? And We have made from water
every living thing. Will they not then believe? (30) And We have
placed on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with them, and We
placed therein broad highways for them to pass through, that they may be
guided. (31) And We have made the heaven a roof, safe and well
guarded. Yet they turn away from its signs (i.e. sun, moon, winds, clouds,
etc.). (32) And He it is Who has created the night and the day, and
the sun and the moon, each in an orbit floating. (33) And We granted
not to any human being immortality before you (O Muhammad SAW), then if you
die, would they live forever? (34) Everyone is going to taste death, and We shall
make a trial of you with evil and with good, and to Us you will be returned. (35)And
when those who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allâh) see you (O Muhammad SAW),
they take you not except for mockery (saying): "Is this the one who talks
(badly) about your gods?" While they disbelieve at the mention of the
Most Gracious (Allâh). [Tafsir. Al-Qurtubî] (36) Man is created
of haste, I will show you My Ayât (torments, proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.).So ask Me not to hasten
(them). (37) And they say: "When will this promise (come to
pass), if you are truthful." (38) If only those who disbelieved knew (the
time) when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor
from their backs; and they will not be helped. (39) Nay, it (the Fire or the
Day of Resurrection) will come upon them all of a sudden and will perplex them,
and they will have no power to avert it, nor will they get respite. (40) Indeed
(many) Messengers were mocked before you (O Muhammad SAW), but the scoffers
were surrounded by that, whereat they used to mock. (41) Say: "Who can
guard and protect you in the night or in the day from the (punishment of the)
Most Gracious (Allâh)?" Nay, but they turn away from the remembrance of
their Lord. (42) Or have they âlihah (gods) who can guard them from Us?
They have no power to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us (i.e.
from Our Torment). (43) Nay, We gave the luxuries of this life to these men and
their fathers until the period grew long for them. See they not that
We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is
it then they who will overcome.[] (44)Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I warn you only
by the revelation (from Allâh and not by the opinion of the religious scholars
and others). But the deaf (who follow the religious scholars and others
blindly) will not hear the call, (even) when they are warned [(i.e. one should
follow only the Qur'ân and the Sunnah (legal ways, orders, acts of worship, and
the statements of Prophet Muhammad SAW , as the Companions of the Prophet SAW
did)].[] (45) And if a breath (minor calamity) of the Torment of your Lord
touches them, they will surely cry: "Woe unto us! Indeed we have been
Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers). (46) And We shall set up
balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection, then none will be dealt with
unjustly in anything. And if there be the weight of a mustard seed, We will
bring it. And Sufficient are We to take account. (47) And
indeed We granted to Mûsa (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron) the criterion (of
right and wrong), and a shining light [i.e. the Taurât (Torah)] and a Reminder
for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2). (48) Those who
fear their Lord without seeing Him, and they are afraid of the Hour. (49) And
this is a blessed Reminder (the Qur'ân) which We have sent down, will you then
(dare to) deny it?[] (50) And indeed We bestowed aforetime on Ibrâhim (Abraham)
his (portion of) guidance, and We were Well-Acquainted with him (as to his
Belief in the Oneness of Allâh). (51) When he said to his father and his
people: "What are these images, to which you are devoted?" (52) They
said:"We found our fathers worshipping them." (53) He said:
"Indeed you and your fathers have been in manifest error." (54) They
said: "Have you brought us the truth, or are you one of those who play
about?" (55) He said: "Nay, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and
the earth, Who created them and to that I am one of the witnesses. (56)
"And by Allâh, I shall plot a plan (to destroy) your idols after you have
gone away and turned your backs." (57)So he broke them to pieces, (all)
except the biggest of them, that they might turn to it. (58) They said:
"Who has done this to our âlihah (gods)? He must indeed be one of the
Zalimun (wrong-doers)." (59) They said: "We heard a young man talking
against them, who is called Ibrâhim (Abraham)." (60) They said: "Then
bring him before the eyes of the people, that they may testify." (61) They
said: "Are you the one who has done this to our gods, O Ibrâhim
(Abraham)?" (62) [Ibrâhim (Abraham)] said: "Nay, this one, the
biggest of them (idols) did it. Ask them, if they can speak!"[] (63) So
they turned to themselves and said: "Verily, you are the Zâlimûn
(polytheists and wrong-doers)." (64) Then they turned to themselves (their
first thought and said): "Indeed you [Ibrâhim (Abraham)] know well that
these (idols) speak not!" (65) [Ibrâhim (Abraham)] said: "Do you then
worship besides Allâh, things that can neither profit you, nor harm you? (66)
"Fie upon you, and upon that which you worship besides Allâh! Have you
then no sense?" (67) They said: "Burn him and help your âlihah
(gods), if you will be doing." (68) We (Allâh) said: "O fire! Be you
coolness and safety for Ibrâhim (Abraham)!" (69) And they wanted to harm
him, but We made them the worst losers. (70) And We rescued
him and Lut (Lot) to the land which We have blessed for the 'Alamîn (mankind
and jinn). (71) And We bestowed upon him Ishâq (Isaac), and (a grandson) Ya'qûb
(Jacob). Each one We made righteous. (72)And We made them leaders, guiding
(mankind) by Our Command, and We revealed them the doing of good deeds,
performing Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and the giving of Zakât and of Us (Alone)
they were the worshippers. (73) And (remember) Lut (Lot), We gave him Hukm
(right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) and (religious) knowledge, and
We saved him from the town (folk) who practised Al-Khabâ'ith (evil, wicked and
filthy deeds). Verily, they were a people given to evil, and were Fâsiqûn
(rebellious, disobedient, to Allâh). (74) And We admitted him to Our Mercy,
truly, he was of the righteous. (75) And (remember) Nûh (Noah), when he cried
(to Us) aforetime. We answered to his invocation and saved him and his family
from great distress. (76) We helped him against people who denied Our Ayât
(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). Verily, they
were a people given to evil. So We drowned them all. (77) And (remember) Dawûd
(David) and Sulaimân (Solomon), when they gave judgement in the case of the
field in which the sheep of certain people had pastured at night, and We were
witness to their judgement. (78) And We made Sulaimân (Solomon) to understand
(the case), and to each of them We gave Hukm (right judgement of the affairs
and Prophethood) and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains and the birds to
glorify Our Praises along with Dawûd (David), And it was We Who were the doers
(of all these things), (79) And We taught him the making of metal coats of mail
(for battles), to protect you in your fighting. Are you then grateful? (80) And
to Sulaimân (Solomon) (We subjected) the wind strongly raging, running by his
command towards the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are the
All-Knower (81)And of the Shayâtin (devils from the jinn) were some who
dived for him, and did other work besides that; and it was We Who guarded them.
(82) And (remember) Ayyûb (Job), when he cried to his Lord: "Verily,
distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show
mercy." (83) So We answered his call, and We removed the distress that was
on him, and We restored his family to him (that he had lost), and the like
thereof along with them as a mercy from Ourselves and a Reminder for all who
worship Us. (84) And (remember) Isma'îl (Ishmael), and Idris (Enoch) and
Dhul-Kifl (Isaiah), all were from among As-Sâbirun (the patient). (85) And We
admitted them to Our Mercy. Verily, they were of the righteous (86) And
(remember) Dhun-Nûn (Jonah), when he went off in anger, and imagined that We
shall not punish him (i.e. the calamites which had befallen him)! But he cried
through the darkness (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Anta [none has the right to be
worshipped but You (O Allâh)], Glorified (and Exalted) are You [above all that
(evil) they associate with You]. Truly, I have been of the wrong-doers." (87)
So We answered his call, and delivered him from the distress. And thus We do
deliver the believers (who believe in the Oneness of Allâh, abstain from evil
and work righteousness) (88) And (remember) Zakariyya (Zachariah), when he
cried to his Lord: "O My Lord! Leave me not single (childless), though You
are the Best of the inheritors." (89) So We answered his call, and We
bestowed upon him Yahya (John), and cured his wife (to bear a child) for him.
Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call on Us
with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us. (90)And she who
guarded her chastity [Virgin Maryam (Mary)], We breathed into (the sleeves of)
her (shirt or garment) [through Our Rûh Jibril (Gabriel)][], and We made her
and her son ['Īsā (Jesus)] a sign for Al-'Alamin (the mankind and jinn). (91)
Truly! This, your Ummah [Sharian or religion (Islâmic Monotheism)] is one
religion, and I am your Lord, therefore worship Me (Alone). [Tafsîr Ibn
Kathîr]. (92) But they have broken up and differed as regards their religion
among themselves. (And) they all shall return to Us. (93) So whoever does
righteous good deeds while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic
Monotheism), his efforts will not be rejected. Verily! We record it for him (in
his Book of deeds).[] (94) And a ban is laid on every town (population) which
We have destroyed that they shall not return (to this world again, nor repent
to Us). (95) Until, when Ya'jûj and Ma'jûj (Gog and Magog)[] are let loose
(from their barrier), and they swoop down from every mound. (96) And the true
promise (Day of Resurrection) shall draw near (of fulfilment). Then (when
mankind is resurrected from their graves), you shall see the eyes of the
disbelievers fixedly staring in horror. (They will say): "Woe to us! We
were indeed heedless of this; nay, but we were Zâlimûn (polytheists and
wrong-doers)." (97) Certainly! You (disbelievers) and that which you are
worshipping now besides Allâh, are (but) fuel for Hell! (Surely), you will
enter it.[] (98) Had these (idols) been âlihah (gods), they would not have
entered there (Hell), and all of them will abide therein. (99) Therein they
will be breathing out with deep sighs and roaring, and therein they will hear
not.[] (100) Verily those for whom the good has preceded from Us, they will be
removed far therefrom (Hell) [e.g. 'Īsā (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary); 'Uzair
(Ezra)]. (101)They shall not hear the slightest sound of it (Hell), while they
abide in that which their ownselves desire. (102) The greatest terror (on the
Day of Resurrection) will not grieve them, and the angels will meet them, (with
the greeting): "This is your Day which you were promised." (103) And
(remember) the Day when We shall roll up the heaven like a scroll rolled up for
books, As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it, (it is) a promise
binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do it. (104) And indeed We have written in
Az-Zabûr [i.e. all the revealed Holy Books - the Taurât (Torah), the Injeel
(Gospel), the Psalms, the Qur'ân] after (We have already written in) Al-Lauh
Al-Mahfûz (the Book, that is in the heaven with Allâh), that My righteous
slaves shall inherit the land (i.e. the land of Paradise). (105)
Verily, in this (the Qur'ân) there is a plain Message for people who worship
Allâh (i.e. the true, real believers of Islâmic Monotheism who act practically
on the Qur'ân and the Sunnah legal ways of the Prophet SAW). (106) And We have
sent you (O Muhammad SAW) not but as a mercy for the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and
all that exists). (107) Say (O Muhammad SAW): "It is revealed to me that
your Ilâh (God) is only one Ilâh (God - Allâh). Will you then submit to His
Will (become Muslims and stop worshipping others besides Allâh)?" (108)
But if they (disbelievers, idolaters, Jews, Christians, polytheists) turn away
(from Islâmic Monotheism) say (to them O Muhammad SAW): "I give you a
notice (of war as) to be known to us all alike. And I know not whether that
which you are promised (i.e. the torment or the Day of Resurrection) is near or
far.[]" (109) (Say O Muhammad SAW) Verily, He (Allâh) knows that which is
spoken aloud (openly) and that which you conceal. (110) And I know not, perhaps
it may be a trial for you, and an enjoyment for a while. (111) He (Muhammad
SAW) said:"My Lord! Judge You in truth! Our Lord is the Most Gracious,
Whose Help is to be sought against that which you attribute (unto Allâh that He
has offspring, and unto Muhammad SAW that he is a sorcerer, and unto the Qur'ân
that it is poetry)!" (112)
