In the name
of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful |
|
By the heaven and its constellations![1] By
the promised Day of Judgment![2] By the witnesses and
that which is being witnessed![3] Doomed be the makers of the
ditch,[4] who lit the fuel-fed fire[5] and sat around it,[6] to
watch what they were doing to the believers.[7] They tortured
them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, the
All-Mighty, the Praise Worthy,[8] the One to Whom belongs the
Kingdom of the heavens and earth, and Allah is Witness to all
things.[9] Those who persecute the believing men and believing
women and do not repent, shall receive the punishment of hell,
wherein they shall have the punishment of conflagration.[10] As
for those who believe and do good deeds, they shall have gardens
beneath which rivers flow; which will be the greatest
success.[11] Surely, the seizure of your Rabb is very
severe.[12] Surely, He it is Who originates the creation of
everything, and He it is Who will repeat it on the
Day of Resurrection.[13] He is the Forgiving, the
Loving,[14] the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious[15] and the
executor of His own will.[16] Have you not heard the story of
the warriors[17] of Fir'on (Pharaoh) and of Thamüd?[18]
Yet the unbelievers persist in denying the truth,[19]
although Allah has encircled them from all around.[20] Surely
this is a Glorious Qur’an,[21] inscribed on an Imperishable
Tablet.[22]

Law and Guidance:

* Those who torture the believers will be
given the punishment of conflagration on the Day of Judgement
* He Who created you for the first time will bring you back to
life again for accountability.
This Sürah warns the disbelievers of the
evil consequences of persecution and tyranny and consoles the
believers that if they remain firm and steadfast against tyranny
and coercion, they will be rewarded for it, and Allah Himself
will avenge their persecutors. In this connection, the story of
the people of the ditch (Ashãb al-Ukhdud), who had burnt the
believers to death by casting them into pits full of fire is
related. By means of this story the believers and the
disbelievers have been taught a few lessons:
- That just as the people of the ditch became worthy of
Allah’s curse and punishment, the chiefs of Makkah are also
becoming worthy of it.
- That just as the believers at that time had willingly
accepted to sacrifice their lives by being burnt to death in
the pits of fire instead of turning away from their faith, so
also should the believers now endure every per secution and
never give up faith.
- That Allah, to Whom belongs the Kingdom of the earth and
heavens, is Praiseworthy and is watching what the two groups
are striving for.
Therefore, the disbelievers will not only be punished in Hell
for their disbelief but, in addition to that, they also will
suffer punishment by fire as a fit recompense for their tyranny
and cruelty. The believers who are firm in their belief and do
good deeds will go to paradise. This indeed is the supreme
success. Then the disbelievers are warned that Allah's grip is
very severe. If they are proud of the strength of their hosts,
they should know that the hosts of Pharaoh and Thamüd were even
stronger and more numerous. Therefore, they should learn a
lesson from the fate these people of the past met. No one can
escape Allah's jurisdiction and the Qur’an that they are belying
is unchangeable: it is inscribed in the Preserved Tablet, which
cannot be destroyed in any way |
