Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
SURAH 11 HOOD-What is proper way of life and why, who is the properly guided person and why, what is his task and how he fulfils it and what happens to him, his supporters and opponents and what lessons can be learned from all that by human population today
This Surah is named HOOD from root HAA, WOW and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is a rock that becomes uncovered or visible by itself and it is then used as a landmark by people to find their way in the land or something hard that protrudes through surface from below the surface. A person who learns oneself and becomes visible to community as learned person and to whom then community looks for help to learn and do things for its well being. A guided leader also a person belonging to Jewish community, a learned or tender hearted person, a person who stops doing wrong things and reforms, a person who mends his ways, a person who gets involved in things to help betterment, a person who always has tendency toward reconciliation in case of a dispute but on a solid foundation, a person who does things gently but solemnly, a person who facilitates or makes things easy for others, a person who sings, a person who intoxicates, repentance, a person who turns to God for guidance, to be a Jew or be of Jewish race or faith etc etc. Like previous Surah this Surah is not named HOOD because it is name of a prophet but because it deals with subject matter that is related to the name given to this Surah. This Surah is mainly about guidance ie what is guidance, why it is needed for people, where it comes from, how it reaches people and how people guide each other and how divine guidance plays its part in life of mankind. After making clear that the Quran cannot be from other than God, the Quran starts bringing stories of past people to inform people what happened to those who followed the Godly advice and what happened to those who did not and why it will continue happening always for all people to come. Not only why things happened but also how they happened. The set-up universal systems and laws are explained for mankind to observe and live by so that mankind save themselves from unnecessary hardships and troubles. It is made clear that keeping an eye on nature as to how it works man can plan his life very nicely eg people can become aware when to plant seeds and when they will be ready for them and what problems can occur and how to overcome them etc etc. The Quran keeps emphasising need for self awareness and awareness of local, national and international, global and even universal environment. The Quran is very scientific and technical in its teachings as well as very much about politics and economics because the whole purpose is to guide mankind towards becoming a proper human community or an ummah based upon guidance of Allah for its own well being. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1)Alif Laam Raa. This is a book statements of which are consistent due to being well founded in wisdom whereby wise and fully aware ruler of this universe makes distinct proper way of life for mankind to live by from the way of life that is harmful and destructive It should always be kept in mind that words used in the Quran can never be translated fully according to their derived meanings because then each verses could become a very, very long explanation of a verse. For example, word KITAAB has many meanings eg book, writing, law, rule, constitution, program, manifesto etc etc. Likewise word AAYAAT has many derived meanings as explained already eg verses, statements, goals, guidelines, laws, landmarks, articles, items, elements etc etc. Since verses have various parallel meanings that are complementary so words used in verses also need to be interpreted in the context of a verse. If word kitaab is taken as a constitution then word aayah will be taken as an article or clause of the constitution. If word kitaab is taken as manifesto then word aayah will have to be taken as an item of the manifesto and likewise if word kitaab is taken as a book then its aayah will have to be taken as its sentence or verse. It is because word kitaab stands for a whole and word aayah stands for its part. Only if one has sense of how language works and how aware one is, one can understand the Quran properly. Why word kitaab should be taken as a book or something else is also dependent upon the fact why this book is sent or what purpose it is supposed to serve. Since Quran is a book for a mission and the mission is about education based revolution so one has to translate the book the way it suits its purpose. Any other rendering of this book will turn it useless for its purpose. The basic goal set by the Quran for mankind is to bring about a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. Such a kingdom cannot be brought about unless there is a fully organised, regulated and motivated community of a people, so one has to be very careful how one interprets verses of the Quran. This verse explains very clearly that the Quran is not a religious holy scripture but a divine constitution for mankind to abide by forever. Its articles or clauses are lasting and firmly founded ie it is not possible for mankind to come up with anything like the Quran. The reason is because it provides mankind permanent and durable basis to find their community upon and keep building on that solid foundation. If they will do that, they are guaranteed united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous life forever. However people are given the ability to choose so they can go their own ways they like but consequences have been fully explained for doing that. Going their own way only means mankind finding their ways of life upon nonsense and unstable foundations that lead them to self destruction in due course. 2) so that you live by no other way of life than the one advised by Allah and I am from Him to you the mankind a warner and a bearer of program for unity, peace, progress and prosperity. This verse advises mankind not to set-up or take any other ruler than Allah. When a person declares there is no ruler save Allah and Muhammad is his messenger, it binds that person to prove that declaration true by deeds ie by working for and abiding by program, constitution and law of Allah. If one declares that I accept no ruler other than Allah and then happily lives by rule of other than Allah that means one is not living up to one’s words or one is not true to one’s commitment one has declared by his words. When there are contradictions in words and deeds of people the Quran declares them MUNAFIQEEN. Munafiqeen are such people who say one thing and do another and the Quran declared them munafiqeen because they declare commitment to the Quranic way of life yet live in opposition to its instructions or injunctions. The problem with that kind of living is that one can never achieve united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous life for mankind because one fails to bring about a united community that is needed for having peaceful, progressive and prosperous life. Community cannot come about if people say one thing to each other and do another because this kind of life gives rise to all sorts of deceptions among people which brings about mistrust, distrust and suspicions leading to all sorts of destabilising factors. 3) Therefore you should seek blissful, dignified and secure existence of your Creator and Sustainer by turning to His guidance so that He provides you with beautiful sustenance for an appointed time as per His set-up universal systems and laws. That is how He bestows His abound provision and sustenance on every people who work for it as explained. However should you ignore and turn away from His advised way of life then I fear for you a very long period of time that will be full of painful suffering by hands of each other. This verse tells mankind the fact that building a proper human community is not an easy task at all. If the set goals and the provided guidelines by Allah are not given vital importance in lives of people then, humanity will have to suffer for a very long time before it learns from its mistakes and changes its direction gradually by forcing each other and thereby ending up in fights and wars. The very first verse of the Quran tells mankind that Allah has provided all that humans need for building a proper human community including his roadmap. Failing to make proper use of divine revelation, manpower and resources is not going to help humanity prosper instead the gap between where people take themselves and where they ought to be will become very large with time till they have reached dead end and then start their journey back. 4) No matter what in the end you the mankind will have turn to roadmap of Allah because He has set-up systems and laws for governing everything including guidance for organisation and regulation of human community. Human life is also organised and regulated along with other things but in two different ways a)naturally ie natural systems, processes and laws are at work and b)mankind are also given goals and guidelines to organise and regulate themselves accordingly. This guidance tells people very clearly that they have a creator to whom belongs everything and they should learn about things and use the provided things properly so that they do not end up in problems unnecessarily. This is why the more people become aware of things the better they become at using them but they need guidance for proper use of things because due to misuse of things humanity suffers a lot of setbacks by hands of each other. 5) Although you make clear for the masses what things are and how things work as well as how they should used, be aware that rulers, their priests and money lenders will still twist things for them due to their twisted mindsets, attitudes and behaviours so that they could hide the true sense of what things are, how they work and how they should be used properly from the masses so that they could keep their make beliefs and useless rituals alive in minds and lives of masses so that thereby they could use and abuse them for their personal gains. However even when these rulers, priests and money lenders think they have covered up scriptural truths fully with their invented beliefs and useless rituals to prevent masses from knowing things properly yet Allah makes the truth manifest for all to see regarding that which they hide and that which they disclose in order to confuse people. Indeed He exposes every secret within their minds through results of their own actions. This verse is disclosing the fact that some among the people twist things in order to deliberately cause confusion. Their motive is discussed in the next verse ie to control land, its resources, means of production and distribution. However it is made clear that if people learn then even in what these people have tried to cover up will become visible to them. It is because truth has its ways to shine through if one has the eyes to see it. As explained already almost all priests of all religion have covered up the divine message by twisting scriptures in to religious books for personal faith and salvation yet if one looks in the twisted translations and interpretations of the scriptures one cannot remain blind to the fact that all scriptures worth the name have instructions that are for founding a good human community. This proves the point that scriptures do not teach personal faith and salvation but good life for all through a well organised and a well regulated human community. Likewise people themselves can observe at macro and micro level how things work based on cause and effect principle. So all make belief ideas are false and people with little bit use of brain can see all this themselves. People will find that the whole universe is a systematic unit and involves processes and mechanisms. It is an automated thing and that is the way it had to be because God wanted man to learn things through self experience like a self programming robot at a very high level. God did this to be appreciated as a great designer, creator, provider and sustainer. This is why God created man knowing nothing with a very powerful brain and senses to make sense of universe and revelation and discover his own full potential in order to appreciate God. God did not create man for test but for struggle from simple state of existence to the most sophisticated state of existence. This is very much obvious from development and progress of humanity over the ages ie is man still living as ignorant as he was right at the start? Is he where he was in the beginning, if not why not? Worshipping ritualism needs no much sense even a kid can do all that but living a life well organised and well regulated needs a lot of use of brain power. This very clearly knocks out religious reasons for human creation by God. God created man for reasons of DEEN for accomplishing great tasks using his self learned creativity to show what God has created in form of a human being. So twisting of scriptural texts to tilt them towards religious make beliefs by priests is very clearly evident as well as evidence of their ignorance and foolishness. The other point is very simple ie the motivation. It is because by fooling masses some people can grab their things the while they are busy doing something else and not paying attention to things they should pay attention to. If one wants to steal your things he will try to direct your attention elsewhere so that he gets the opportunity to nick your things. That is how adults fool kids when playing games with them. How can grown up people be so stupid that they let fellow human beings fool them so easily in the name of God, religion and scriptures especially when scriptures themselves expose these con artists? Every scripture including the Quran tells people look out for con artists who will try all they can to con you by fooling you. So people must learn things to the level that they help them stay safe from the imposters. Likewise this verse tells people at large be careful because there are people who help you know things properly but there are also people who are Satans who twist everything to fool you to dispossess you of your God given rights to his provisions. They hide what they should tell you because it is beneficial for you and tell you what they should not because that is harmful for you. 6) There is not a living being or a moving creature in the world for whom Allah is not responsible for its provision and sustenance but that He enables it to know its way to get to its provision on time because that is the way to its development and survival. It is all systematic and according to universal laws. Word MUSTAQAR is from root QAAF, RAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is short stay on a journey. Also a period of time when species pass from one kind to another during process of gradual evolution. A temporary stay or a place where one stays for a rest and then moves on, cold, chilliness, to be cold, to abate, to settle down, urban area, to deposit, container, sediment, bottom of a ravine, abyss, basis, to decide, decision, to become carefree, to become tranquil, to stay, to remain, to settle, to concede, to accept, to affirm, to remain firmly in position, depth, secure place, abode, hold, stability, endurance, root, satisfaction, peace, tranquillity, rest, comfort, pleasure, happiness, consolation, to alight, brighten up, that which lasts or remains, durable, lasting, that which comes to an end, that which serves its term, a fixed abode, a place of settlement, a term to be served, glass, glassware, things made of glass, goblets, bottles, to freeze or become frozen, pregnancy, to become pregnant, to become obvious as an end product after going through stages from the beginning till completion as a baby develops in the womb of a mother, a structure used on the back of a camel to facilitate women to ride on a camel, saddle, seat, women etc etc. Word MUSTAWDA is from root WOW, DAAL and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to leave or vacate. Also to agree to do something, to agree to end the war, an agreement, trust, security, to offer something as security for something, to put something in some secure place, to empty, organic evolution or gradual development of things to their final stable form, the end product after going through various stages of development, prosperity, comfort, pleasure, to say good bye, to let go, a safe place, a depository, serenity, to place in good keeping, to bid farewell, to see off, to leave behind, to leave alone, to cease hostility with, to exchange pledges of mutual peace, to ignore, to dismiss, to stop, to refrain from doing, to abandon, to forsake, womb, grave, long stay, a place where-in one stays for a long time etc etc. This verse explains the fact that Allah is creator and sustainer of all that exists but he has put in place systems, processes, mechanisms and laws according to which all is supposed to happen automatically. As for human beings they are also given books in which they are told to go by the book and you will do fine otherwise suffer the consequences and don’t complain because it is mainly all your own fault if you do not educate yourselves and do as taught by the book. What does the book tell us? It tells us to come together to form a proper human community by organising properly and regulating ourselves and getting on with whatever we need to do for having peaceful, progressive and prosperous life as a united human family. What does humanity need to do? It needs to find out what it needs and wants and why then explore the existing world to see where it can get things from and how it can get them etc etc. If more than half of the world is starving it is not because there are no enough things in the world or world is not able to provide for human needs but because we are busy reproducing to kill and maim each other instead of using each and every person available to us to get the job done. So long as we stop so many people from education and education based works and then pick fights with each other and that way waste our manpower and resources then is there any wonder we are not getting where we ought to be? Who is to blame for all this carry on? This is why all societies based on personal gains of individuals at the expense of community spirit are dangerous because that leads mankind to harmful and destructive mindset, attitude and behaviour. This is the main problem with mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of rulers, priests, moneylenders, their touts and supporters. This is why true scriptural foundation needs to be found out to base our human community upon and then get on with life to make it beautiful for all. This verse explains evolutionary mechanism for survival ie in order to survive things must learn to get what they need in time from wherever they need to get it from. If they fail then that is the end of them. Not only that but as people fail to get what they need things will become less and less and then time will come when people will end up fighting each other over them. This is particularly an important point in case of human beings that they have been given a great brain to use for this purpose. If instead they misuse it then consequences are going to be terrible every time. So why misuse something to our own demise than properly using it to reach a life of bliss, dignity and security? This verse leaves in no doubt that life is a tough struggle for mankind and so long as they do things as told they will keep rising stage by stage or strength to strength but as soon as they become stagnant things will stop and then start rolling backwards and regression can takeover. This is the real message of this verse ie keep moving with time or you will live to regret it. 7) That level of designer and creator is He Who brought about - by means of planning and putting in place systems, processes, mechanism and laws - all the galaxies including this galaxy in simple to complex stages and His ability of creating all this kingdom of universe rested upon the fountain of knowledge, in order to put you the mankind through struggle to demonstrate to each other which of you the mankind work for the well being of each other to rise through ranks of dignity to appreciate your Creator and Sustainer through understanding His works. However when you tell them that due to this program by understanding and using it properly you the people will indeed rise to heights of blissful, dignifies and secure existence after you have lost the hope, the opponents of this program will certainly say, this is nothing but a fantasy and a false hope. This verse like some other verses is using words SITTATI AYYAAM. Word SITTAH is usually translated as number six but it also has other meanings as well eg it means two things joined in such a way that on one end they are same but very different at the other end. If we take a linear graph or a ramp and imagine it is cut into sections then if we can see how at the cut one side is going downwards and the other upwards. The very point at which one section ends and the other starts is called sittah. So in these like verses the Quran is telling us very clearly the evolutionary stages of the universe. Not necessarily just six stages but consistent and constant stages one after the other. It is like a tapered object that is thin at one end but gets thicker and thicker towards the other end. Since universe began as a small thing and expanded therefore this process of gradual expansion and complexity is called sitta. It is like a main process with lots of embedded processes in it. It is as if one process completes and others start and so it continues. So universe is constantly running nonstop and these stages or processes just come and go at their own time and in their own way. 8) However through this knowledge when We move away from them the harms and destructions they inflict upon each other for personal gains for a limited period of time, they ask, what is holding it back? Beware! The day it arrives nothing can hold it back from them and they are completely encircled by that which they take for a joke. The way the systems are set-up to work according to laws of nature, it keeps people safe so long as they go by the book of Allah because it explains all this that is going on but as they fall away from that guidance, things take their natural course. When people stop living by the book the unity and compassion between them turns to rivalry and animosity and cruelty and hatred and gradually in due course people reach their lowest state of existence and end up in despair. This is not punishment from God, it is result of what people are told not to do but they do it anyway. They were told not to live this way because it will cause them problems but they did. Fire is created for benefit of mankind but if they will misuse it, they will get harmed by it. Just because God created things does not mean you must misuse them and get harmed by them. People have invented knife, gun and car etc but they did it for the benefit of people. If some misuse these things then is that fault of inventors or misusers? Only foolish people take a serious good advice for a joke. It does not mean advice is necessarily laughable but it could mean people have no sense to understand and appreciate it. 9) The fact is when We let mankind taste prosperity due to following Our program thereafter in due course We find mankind caught up in hardship due to moving away from Our guidance. Surely it is due to mankind not using Our provisions properly. 10) And if We let mankind taste any prosperity again due to coming back to Our program after adversity has afflicted the mankind, the mankind claims, all its sorrows are gone because of its own efforts and in due course mankind become intoxicated due to power and rebel against Our guidance In these verses mindset, attitude and behaviour of certain people from among mankind is explained that these people when suffer due to their own actions against divine advice they blame God but when they succeed in life they claim all credit for themselves as individuals, not thinking of who has contributed to their this success and how. This lack of sense then misleads them and instead of they too contributing back to society sensibly cause problems by trying to undermine others. As they get a bit of dominance over others they become arrogant and treat other human beings with contempt and put in place divide as masters and slaves. However, not all people are like that rather some people take things differently and try to inform and educate others. So this becomes a struggle between constructive and destructive elements in human society. Since being constructive is a much more difficult task so human society remains stuck in rut for a very long time and gets deeper and deeper in trouble till it finally decides to listen to some sensible voice which then puts it back on track. It does not take very long before human society falls down again but each fall and rise results in more lessons being learned by humanity and this process will continue till mankind have learned enough to guard against coming about of destructive elements. Once humanity succeeds in doing that then the only way will be full speed ahead. As the Quran says, our mistakes do not damage us because we learn from our mistakes but dwelling on those mistakes and making them a way of life is what sets humanity back. 11) save those who remain steadfast in their hard works for reconciliation between mankind for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity, such are the ones for whom is secure, blissful and dignified life as a great outcome of their thoughts and actions according to Our plan. The Quranic wording is not possible to translate word for word because there are no words that can express the very same message in other languages. It is all an exercise to translate the message rather than the word and that is also not easy because each and every verse uses words in such a way that same verse leads us to parallel concepts that make perfect sense eg take words SABAROO and SAALIHAAT. SABAROO is not only about showing patience when things are out of one’s control but also about showing steadfastness when taking action. SALIHAAT is not only about reconciliation or repairing broken relationships among mankind but taking such actions that benefit or make things work ie it involves sense of coming up with ideas, systems, structures, processes, procedures and practices that lead mankind somewhere in sense of progress. It is as if Quran is telling us good people are those who are inventive ie those who come up with new ideas and invent things for benefit and well being of mankind. Putting these meaning of these words side by side with what mullahs have been feeding masses the contrast is self evident. Mullahs have turned people lazy and crazy instead of lively and inventive. Creativity is key foundation according to the Quran and the very purpose of human creation yet this is what mullahs forbid and suppress in people. How did they manage to fool masses so much, why masses let them do that and are still letting them get away with it? 12) So O messenger, never think about giving up any of this program which has been revealed to you or feel defeated within yourself just because the opponents of this program say, why has he not been sent with a treasure or why has he not been sent with a person with power over people? Surely you have not been sent to conquer people by shear use of force instead you have been sent with a message to educate and forewarn people against inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains, so that they become fully aware that Allah deals with all affairs as per His plan according to His set-up systems and laws. This verse makes it clear for those on missionary work that in this task there lie ahead tough times and difficulties so they should prepare themselves mentally and physically for all eventualities to be able to deal with them as they come effectively but properly. People who have not prepared themselves cannot fulfil conditions of missionary task properly. In short unprepared people could cause more harm to the Quranic mission and humanity than benefit. This is exactly what mullahs have done and their missionary centres and personnel. They spread misinterpretations of the Quran whereby they misrepresent the message of the Quran which creates terrible uphill struggle for proper scholars of the Quran because people after having come across the false propagators do not want to know the message of the Quran assuming it to be another lie by another people. Ummah is funding wrong people for missionary works but since ummah itself is full of ignorance they do not know anything better. Of course such people will remain in the state of suffering till they perish or repent and correct themselves through educating themselves. The curse of rulers, mullahs and money lenders is not going to be lifted any time soon because education of masses takes time provided people make effort for educating each other. 13) Do they say, he has created this program himself to fool mankind? Say to them, bring then a program like this for bringing about such a human community by yourselves and invite all those you can to help you do this other than Allah and see if you can prove your this claim true. This challenge is repeated in the Quran and if we look at the state in which we find humanity, it is very clear why such a program cannot be from mankind themselves. If people were so clever then they would not be doing the stupid things to each other as they do and the world will have been a great place but it is not. People are so jealous of each other and rivalry is so rampant among people that animosity and hatred is order of the day. After all who are we making the weapons of mass destruction for? Why are we hiding all kinds of things from each other and why do we spy on each other to find out what we have in our secret cupboards? Why we have copyright on information as intellectual property and our inventions patent catalogued? We claim we have human rights laws yet we do not help people suffering from diseases and poverty. Instead of getting busy with creating opportunities for each other to contribute to human society we are busy plotting and executing those plots in order to deliver knockout blows to each other. Keeping all this in mind, who has the time or money to write books and spend time to help educate others unless one truly accepts existence of God and idea of goodwill towards humanity? People with harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours due to damaging ambitions and desires cannot be expected to do things for the benefit of mankind. If humanity has this kind of personality because in their view if they do not then they cannot survive in this dog eat dog world then who is going to waste his time in trying to get people out of this mindset, attitude and behaviour? If people have this mindset, attitude and behaviour, why the hell anyone will bother writing a book that tells people to change their way of life 180 degrees? Why would anyone write a book that nobody wants? There are a lot of questions that people need to think about before they can really say scriptures are not divine in their origin. In other words it is not going to be easy even if not impossible to prove the Quran is a human work and that is because of its program for mankind for implementation as a goal with a set of guidelines. Any book written by people ought to further human ambitions which are anti Quran. Even rulers, their priests and money lenders had to bend scriptural teachings by force to fool ignorant and uneducated people to get them to do their dirty works. Evil done by humanity is so obvious that anything good that came out of it seems merely a by product. It is because if humanity has been doing good then evil as by product could not have damaged the human mind, attitude and behaviour so badly as we all witness it everywhere all around the globe. Word ASHAR not only means ten in count but also a community based way of life. Word SUWAR is plural of SOORAH. It means a protective wall around a fort or a castle. In the Quranic context it means ways of life that gives human communities security. It could also mean ten suras like the suras of the Quran. The ideas is again not just text but a text when it is acted upon results in true human community because that is the message contained in the suras of the Quran. 14) But if they fail to respond to this challenge then mankind should come to know that this Quran was sent for making evident program of Allah for them so that they come to know that there is no ruler of this universe save Him. Will you the mankind then submit to program of Allah and live by this way of life that leads to peace, progress and prosperity? 15) Those who adopt a way of life that helps them make alluring personal gains at the expense others We reward them with full results of their thoughts and actions without any loss. All things get what they work for including humans but it is better if people live by way of life as told by the Quran ie having community spirit rather than living on the basis of personal gains at the expense of community spirit. The problem with life based on personal gains is that in the end rivalry leads to animosity and hatred and fights and wars and so end result is not any good for anyone at all. In the Quran words HAYATUDDUNYAA does not mean life of this world but life lived at lower level ie living like animals having no sense of higher life. Lower life is living for oneself and higher life means living for others. This is why living for oneself does not and cannot bring self respect and good life whereas living for others brings good life and self respect both. This is why end results of two ways of living are very different from each other. However most of the mankind live a very confused life. 16) They are the ones who have nothing to gain in the end save painful suffering whereby they come to know their greed and make belief based actions are wrong because they were harmful and destructive for others as well as themselves. 17) Can they be same as those who have self evident program from their Creator and Sustainer and to whom a messenger from Himself proclaims and they also have the book given to Moses before them a guide towards blissful, dignified and secure life? Such are the people who really commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind due to the scripture but those factions who oppose Our guidance will have their promise fulfilled to them that they will end up in agonising life. So O people, be not in any doubt about the Quranic program because it is a confirmable truth from your Creator and Sustainer even though most of the mankind do not commit themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to it, This verse tells us that people who claim to be committed to working according to the scripture may not be actually doing that if their words do not match their deeds, which means their verbal commitment cannot be taken seriously. 18) and who can inflict more harm and destruction upon mankind than the one who invents lies and attributes them to Allah? Such people in time will be confronted by those with understanding of program of their Creator and Sustainer thereby they will prove that these are the people who have invented lies against Allah their Creator and Sustainer. Be aware! Those who go beyond set limits of Allah in fact keep away from blessings of blissful, dignifying and secure existence providing program of Allah unless they stop and get themselves on the right path. 19) Such are the people who hinder others from the path of Allah and seek to make it obscure because they deny the masses the blissful, dignified and secure life that could come about due to Our program if people understood and followed it faithfully. 20) However these people cannot prevent forever His program from reaching the mankind throughout the world ultimately because time is coming when they will have none to support them against the plan of Allah, so their task will become twice as hard because they did not heed the guidance of Allah nor did they bother with understand things properly. 21) They are a people self centred who are lost in themselves so the nonsense they invent and spread against His guidance for personal gains will leave them utterly confused and in chaos. 22) There can be therefore no doubt that they will end up in terrible state of existence in time to come. In these verses Allah leaves people in no doubt that his program will reach mankind ultimately through mankind themselves and opposition to it will fade away gradually as education takes root among mankind and people realise the need for divine guidance. It is obvious that as more and more people will come to right path less and less people will remain on the wrong road so opposition to message of Allah will ultimately fade away. The bigger the effort people make in helping each other educate themselves the sooner this period of darkness will disappear. If we read the Quran about SHAHRI RAMDAAN, QURAN, LAILATIMMUBAARIKAH, LAILTUL QADR and SOWM etc, it becomes clear that Allah revealed the Quran during period of darkness of ignorance therefore rifts and strifes in order to provide mankind with measures to counter ignorance and strife for bringing about a proper human community through gradual enlightenment. 23) However those who are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind therefore strive very hard for reconciliation between mankind with help of guidance of their Creator and Sustainer, such are the people who will end up in the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah wherein they will stay for as long as they maintain it. 24) The example of these two sections of people is like two persons, one of whom is blind and deaf, and the other who can see and hear. Are they equal? Will you then not learn to understand the lesson and spread it among rest of mankind? When the Quran uses certain words they need to be understood in sense of the message they convey. Here words blind and deaf tell us about a person who lacks sense to understand things as well as to observe things properly and both of these are needed to reach proper understanding of thing or right decisions about issues. Words seeing and hearing mean being able to observe and understand things properly so that one is able to decide things properly or deal with problems appropriately. This seeing is with eyes of mind not eyes on the face. 25) That is why We sent Noah to his people saying, I have come from Allah to deliver to you His program for your proper awareness before things fall apart for you, 26) so that you adopt no way of life other than the one advised by Allah because otherwise I fear for you the consequences of your harmful and destructive thoughts and action against each other in form of a painful period of uprising. 27) The chiefs of his people who opposed Our advised way of life said, we do not see you but a man like ourselves and we see that no one has followed you except the people who work for their living among us to put it simply, so we find nothing in you which gives you superiority over us therefore we think you are a bunch of liars. 28) He said, O my people, consider this that if I have a clear direction from my Creator and Sustainer because He has bestowed upon me a program for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind from Himself but you are unaware about it, should I then impose its learning upon you against your will? 29) O my people! I do not ask you to pay me for educating you about it because the outcome for my this work rests with set-up systems and laws of Allah so I am not going to drive those people away who have committed themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind along with me because they are sure they can work hard to meet the ideal standard set for them by their Creator and Sustainer but I sense that you the chiefs are acting out of sense of dominance over others for undermining them. 30) Moreover tell me O chiefs of my people! Who will support me against Allah if I drive them away if what I claim is true? Why don’t you even try to understand such a simple thing? 31) I do not say to you that I have the treasures of Allah in my personal control nor do I claim that I have the power to know the outcome of my thoughts and actions for certain or claim to be an emperor and I do not say to those who are useless people in your eyes that Allah will not grant them blissful, dignified and secure existence because only Allah can let them manifest what is in their minds through their actions. If I claim anything to mislead you then I will indeed be transgressing my God set limits. This is what makes truth become distinct from falsehood. If people who claimed messengership from Allah were not true people they could have made fool of people by making up things just as con artists do instead these people tell people if you want to be successful here is the roadmap to follow. There is no magic, mystery or superstition involved. The message is simple that prophets says, I have received guidance for a great way of life so let us join together and work along that line and see the results for ourselves. There is no miraculous or supernatural solution involved for solving peoples’ problems other than revelation. This is why people who claim to be men of God yet fool people with all sorts of tricks telling them short cuts to better life prove themselves false. One can see how Quran educates people out of make beliefs and magical tricks so that they come to observe real world realities and do things that need to done to get the results they need or want. A clear proof that Quran is not a holy book for pooja paat but a book that has real solutions for real problems that face humanity. 32) They said, O Noah! You have argued with us and argued far too much, now bring upon us the revolt with which you threaten us if what you say is true. 33) He replied, Allah will surely let results of your harmful and destructive thoughts and actions be upon you in due course as He has planned and you cannot escape them. In these like verses it is made clear that judgement of Allah comes constantly and persistently as per set-up systems and laws of Allah. When tipping point is reached things happen but exactly when this tipping point is reached is anybody’s guess. This is why people need to observe ground realities and see the state in which humanity is at any given point in time. If it is in good state of affairs then society is healthy so bad things will not happen but if state of humanity in the world is terrible then actions and reactions decide what is going to happen and how soon. Not only that but if humanity pays attention to its well being then it will find out things in time and take corrective measures and that will keep humanity safe from all sorts of disasters. Only when people fight each other that they lose attention to other things and then when disasters strike them they are caught unaware. This is why a driver cannot afford to not to pay attention to things on the road because as soon he goes to sleep on steering wheel or others with him draw his attention away from the road an accident happens. Likewise if rulers, priests and moneylenders will fail to fool the masses they will lose control over masses. When that happens, master slave relationship will end unless these people succeed in re-establishing their control over masses by some new ideas. This is how absolute monarchy ended and this is how priests lost control over masses and now it is turn for money lenders to lose control over masses. When there is fight between rulers, priests and moneylenders that is the time when masses will get chance to be free from all sorts of master slave relationships. When exactly that will happen is anyone’s guess. 34) My counsel will not benefit you no matter how much I desire to give you good advice if set-up systems and laws of Allah your Creator and Sustainer find you on the wrong path because according to His set-up systems and laws alone you are made to face consequences of your thoughts and actions. 35) Do they still say you Our messenger have invented all this Quran? Tell them, if I have invented it indeed then I ought to have some personal motive to benefit myself at your expense that ought to have harmful and destructive consequences for you which ought to be all clear to you, yet I am free of inflicting any harms and destructions upon you which you inflict upon each other due to your such motives, so how do you explain your accusation of forgery against me when I am instead stopping you from inflicting harms and destructions upon each other so that you do not end up destroying each other? A very strong slap on faces of those who claim the Quran was produced by anyone other than Allah. It is because to invent anything people have motives but all usual motives for which people invent or do things are missing in case of the Quran. It does not give anyone any advantage over anyone else ie the Quran is useless for that purpose and if anyone tries to misuse it then it becomes a lethal cocktail for humanity as a whole. In other words the Quran is beneficial for humanity as a whole if its used properly for its purpose and if it is misused then it is lethal for whole mankind so you either live by the Quran or die by the Quran and there is no in between. As explained already Allah has revealed the Quran so that mankind live as a proper community based upon guidance of Allah otherwise the Quran leaves people to themselves to decide matters the hard way, which involves endless bloodshed and painful suffering for humanity for a very, very long time to come. So it is up to people themselves how they wish to go about living in this world. Allah has plenty of time to wait till people get fed up with their own tricks against each other and gradually turn each other towards message of Allah. 36) Regardless of their false accusations against you the messenger, it was made obvious to Noah that none of your opponents are going to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity save those who have already committed themselves. So there is no point in you grieving at their harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours against each other. 37) Instead go build a separate kingdom away from these people according to Our guidance as we revealed it to you and remember not to side step Our guidance on behalf of those who oppose Our program by working against it because they are all set for mutual destruction by their own hands according to Our set-up systems and laws. Word FULKA not only means boat but an institution or kingdom as well. The idea revolves around orbit or circle eg a circle of friends or community circle or a team. A group of people who become a group for fulfilling some goal or need or want etc. Since the Quran is a book about community life and its set-up therefore a people involved in same thing are all in the same boat or are workers towards same end. Each and every messenger was sent by Allah to bring about a community based upon guidance of Allah and it is only possible if people have a kingdom of their own in which they can live freely according to guidance of Allah. Therefore Allah is telling Noah to set-up a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah in some other place away from these people who refuse by guidance of Allah. However, when he goes away to do so he is followed by his opponents who keep attacking his kingdom because he is still keep taking away their people from them whom they used as their slaves or as their slave labour. 38) So he started building a kingdom based upon Our guidance away from them but whenever the chiefs of his people came to it, they tried to conquer it. He said, if you will keep trying to take over our kingdom then we too will try to take over your kingdom. 39) Then soon you will come to know who will end up in painful suffering and humiliation and upon whom will come to rest painful suffering permanently. 40) Finally when time for fulfilment of Our warning came because the social environment heated up with hatred in society and the troubles broke out so We said to Noah, take into the kingdom you built each of the community of people and its leadership to settle along with your own community who have committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity letting those who want to stay behind remain there against whom the law of consequences is already in place so they will face outcome of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. However those who committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity with him were only a minority. After Noah set-up a kingdom the people he came from fell into disputes and infighting so many of the people of that kingdom decided to escape the situation by joining Noah and his people and he took them aboard and absorbed them as a part of his newly found community based kingdom. 41) Thus he said to them, undertake this journey to a new way of life in the name of Allah according to whose laws is its beginning and its completion, surely guidance by my Creator and Sustainer alone is protector of mankind because He is provider of blissful, dignifying and life securing program for them. 42) That is how Our guidance took them along a journey to safety through troubles and hardships like mountains. Even during this troublesome and hardship time Noah called upon chief of his community who had lost his power over people saying, O son of my community come aboard with me and be not of those who oppose living by rule based upon guidance of Allah. 43) He said, I rather betake myself to join some chief who saves me from living by rule based upon guidance of Allah. Noah said, today none can save anyone from set-up systems and laws of Allah save His blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program. That is how dispute between them turned into a troublesome wave of destruction, so he ended up among those who were destroyed. Some people never learn so their stubbornness leads them to their own destruction in due course along with their people. 44) Thus Noah said to down trodden masses, O masses, learn and do things to regain your proper place in community and O dominant people, end your mindset, attitude and behaviour of dominance and undermining of others and that is how Our program helped them even out their differences so they ended up a great community based upon generosity towards each other and that is how they said goodbye to the way of life based upon personal gains whereby they inflicted harms and destructions upon each other. Word IBLAI is from root BAA, LAAM and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to take in something the right way. Also to swallow, to take something down the throat through mouth, to accept something without resistance, to take a dose of something, the place where grain enters the grinding mill for flour making, to drink something, to learn something, to absorb something properly, to understand something when explained, to make sense of something, to become part of something, a glutton, a drain, to draw off the surface water, to drink all the content, to deplete gradually, to replenish, to regain what is lost in some sense, to flow off or out, to discharge something, a gradual loss or gain of something etc etc. Word AQLIEE is from root QAAF, LAAM and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is stop being something in some way. Also coming off of something from its place or position, to become dislodged or displaced, to resign from a position, to give up position or place, stop dominating, stop being or doing something, to become uprooted, to move away, to get out of the way, to give up something, to pull out, to remove, castle, stronghold, to cease, to desist, to abstain, to abandon, to sail, fever, temperature, hatred, rage, jealousy, envy, ulcerative stomach, to stop acting in a certain way, to abate etc etc. Word GHEED is from root GHAIN, YAA and DWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is to lack something. Also to be faulty or incomplete, to dry up, to absorb, abortion, to abort, to become undermined, to become low, something that becomes misshaped or deformed for some reason, to reduce or decrease something in its being or action, den, thicket, bush, to disappear, to recede, to dwindle, to abate, to diminish, to shrink, to fall short of, to fail to grow, to stop growing, to stop making progress, to stop developing, to sink into something, to become low profile etc etc. Word JOODEE is from root JEEM, WOW and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to be constructive and beneficial. Also horses, to seek a horse, generosity, generous person, goodness, excellence, nobility, rain laden clouds, chargers, magnificent, the select, well bred or nurtured horse, a racing horse, a person capable of hard work or solving problems, a person who can trusted to fulfil his given role or responsibility absolutely etc etc. The troubles broke out among people of Noah because it was a divided society without sense of community spirit so when there use and abuse reached its limits things turned ugly between them but Allah saved those who decided to live by way of life that was advised by Allah. When troubles start making life of people hard rulers, priests and money lenders have no solutions for their problems so they turn against each other and rulers are killed by masses in rage to avenge the use and abuse they received by their hands for so long. 45) Behold! Noah called out to his Creator and Sustainer at the time when he thought chief of his people was in trouble saying, O my Creator and Sustainer! My community chief is part of my community and surely Your promise to save my community is true because You are the only true ruler of those who claim to be the rulers. 46) Allah said, O Noah! He is not of your community because he is not of those who act to put things right for the well being of the human community. So do not ask Me concerning things you have no knowledge about. I inform you so that you do not act like those who act foolishly. 47) Noah said, my Creator and Sustainer! I seek refuge in Your revealed wisdom so that I do not question your decisions due to my lack of proper understanding of things but unless You dignify me through Your guidance I surely will be in loss. When divine messengers came their battles were mainly with chiefs of their communities because they turned masses into their personal slaves instead of leading people to a successful and prosperous life so that people could develop and grow and humanity could progress and prosper. This deliberate mismanagement of human populations and natural resources created divisions among people which led to terrible bloodshed between people for no good reason. However it was always hope of messengers that they succeed in their divine missions without hurting people and causing loss of life but in real life things depend on all participants and not just on God, his prophets and their followers. If opponents do not see sense and keep carrying on their onslaught against humanity then drastic measure become inevitable to put a stop to all this carry on though minds of divine messengers remain open for people to stop and change their way and join them but most of the times it only remains a wish because people with harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours rarely change the last minute. 48) It was said, O Noah! Settle down properly now on basis of program, constitution and law for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity from Us so that there is unity, peace, progress and prosperity for you and for the people that are with you. As for generations to come from them, We will grant them also their provision thereby but if they learned not and behaved not properly then they will have to face painful suffering as per Our set-up systems and laws. 49) O messenger, these are some of the facts from the past which We have now revealed to you, neither you nor your people knew about them before this revelation as told. So be steadfastly persistent because the success in the end is for those who are consistent with guidance of Allah for the well being of humanity. These like verses do not mean people had never heard any stories about past people but that they had not been explained to people by their priests in the context the Quran explains them ie in non-religious context. People twisted even the texts of their divine books turning them out of their proper contexts. The same is happening today that most people only buy into religious nonsense rather than looking into scriptures themselves and discovering the true sense that the scriptures give rise to in their own contexts. Religions have given people wrong reasons as purposes for origin of creation. God has been portrayed as a tyrant who gets angry at drop of a hat and destroys nation after nation and a whole load of other nonsense. This is why if people want to know the truth about God and creation then they need to give up religious mumbo jumbo and look into scriptures in light of universal realities that face humanity. 50) Likewise to people of Aad We sent their brother Hood. He said, O my people! Live by program, constitution and law of Allah because you have no ruler save Him. Surely you live by nothing but make beliefs and falsehood that is harmful and destructive for living as a community. 51) O my people! I do not demand of you anything for personal gains at your expense instead outcome of my work for the well being of humanity rests upon set-up systems and laws of Him who has originated me. Will you then not use your sense to understand and do things properly? 52) Therefore O my people! Seek blissful, dignified and secure existence of your Creator and Sustainer by turning to His guidance and shape your community life accordingly. He will send for you from the heaven abundant rain of good things and He will add strength to your strength. So turn not towards His guidance to oppose it to inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains. 53) They said, O Hood! You have not come to us with any clear proof that we demand so we are not going to leave our rulers, priests and money lenders just on basis of your claims and arguments nor are we going to agree to terms and conditions for our unity, peace, progress and prosperity that you propose. 54) The things you tell us to do are such that it seems to us you have been badly misled by one of our chiefs. He said, I present testimony of Allah as my evidence for my claim and I call upon you too to present your evidences as well for your claims otherwise I am staying clear of those whom you take for rulers 55) instead of Allah, so plan all of you together a full dialogue with me and give me no time to prepare myself for this debate. 56) I rely upon universal set-up systems and laws of Allah the Creator and Sustainer of mine and yours. There is not a living creature whose purpose of existence is not decided by Him through His set-up systems and laws. The guidance from my Creator and Sustainer surely leads along the path of life that is firmly founded. 57) So even if you turn away from debating the issue with me sensibly, at least I have fully conveyed to you the message I was sent with. If you will not abide by His program then in time my Creator and Sustainer will raise some other people in your place and you can do Him no harm whatsoever. Indeed my Creator and Sustainer has taken all measures for security and proper functioning of all things in the universe. These verses very clear show two parties arguing about some issues in their own ways. The main thing to realise here is that one is party of religious people using its scripture for religious purposes as explained already and the other party that uses divine scripture as it ought to be used. The religious party is made of rulers, priests and money lenders supporting each other against masses by justifying why each party has the right to be there in sight of Allah and masses eg kings put in place priests and priests provide basis for kings to be kings on basis of religion ie these people are chosen by Allah to rule them so they must be obeyed or Allah will curse them and make their life hell. Money lenders spend what they make from masses to build temples and tombs and other religious structures to further the same aims and objectives and because they spend money in the name of Allah so they are loved by Allah and they too should be given respect in society and obeyed by masses. Poor are poor because that is the way Allah made them to be and they will get whatever they desire when they die provided they accept the will of Allah and live as the men of Allah tell them ie the priests. So it is a complete way of exploitation of ignorant masses and this is why religions are known as tools for exploitation of masses. This was the case always accept when some divine messenger came along and challenged this whole empire of faith and defeated it. However it never failed to make a comeback because people do not keep up with education and learning so being born ignorant and avoiding education and learning does not go well for mankind. This is why empire of faith still stands strong because top elite is ensuring ignorance prevails. There are no absolute monarchs today or priests with absolute powers but that is only because money lenders have replaced them ie today rulers and priests are controlled by people with money ie the bankers. It is difficult to say how long this money based rule is going to last but once it too saturates that will be the end of it. That is the time when new world order will come about and that will be free of monarchy, priesthood and capital based ideology. Allah sent human values will become restored gradually because they are firmly based on idea of well being of humanity as a whole. This is where Quran will become fundamental text as basis for new set-up in the new world and rest of scriptural world will follow the lead provided by the Quran. That seems to be the final world order that will come about to stay forever and once humanity has sorted itself out it will concentrate on turning this world into a paradise or divine kingdom. So we are long way away from where we ought to be as far as the teachings of the Quran are concerned. That is how prophetic mission will become fully established. 58) So when Our law of consequences delivered them results of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions in due course We saved Hood and those who committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity along with him through blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program from Us and that is how We saved them from life of terrible painful suffering. 59) Such were the people of Aad. They opposed the goals and guidelines of their Creator and Sustainer and did not support His messenger but instead supported the rule by every terrifying oppressor. 60) Therefore they were followed by life full of humiliation right from the start through rivalries and animosities for personal gains till the day of uprooting of their way of life. Be warned! Aad denied set rights of their Creator and Sustainer to each other to His provisions for them so be informed that Aad the people of Hood were let distance themselves from His blissful and dignifying guidance. These verses explained how the messenger of Allah by name of HOOD delivered his message to his people who were called Aad and how they responded and what was the end of these people. Here the Quran is not talking about make beliefs and useless rituals and anger of Allah but stupidity of people themselves who did what was harmful and destructive and so they ended up destroyed by hands of each other. There is no concept in the Quran Allah destroying people out of anger because they did not listen to him as mullahs will have us believe. It is simply a case of Allah trying to educate people through his guidance and people ignoring the guidance of Allah and doing things their own way which destroys them. It is like a person tells another person, do not jump into the fire because you will end up burnt alive. Instead of listening to the advice the other person goes ahead and jumps into the fire and ends up burnt alive. All because fire burns and that is the way Allah created fire to be to serve the purpose it was created for. If used properly fire is a very useful thing but at the same time if it is used improperly then one using it will regret it. 61) To the Thamud people We sent their brother Saleh. He said, O my people! Abide by program, constitution and law of Allah alone as you have no ruler save Him. It is He Who brought you forth in a simple state and evolved you therefrom so that in due course you seek your security through unity, peace, progress and prosperity by referring to His guidance and moulding your life according to it as a proper human community. Indeed the guidance and the set-up systems and laws of my Creator and Sustainer are ever present and respond to your needs, wants, thoughts and actions. 62) They said, O Saleh! Till now you were the one in whom we had great expectations! Will you now stop us from serving the rulers, the traditions and the customs that our forefathers put in place and served? Indeed we are strongly suspicious of that to which you are calling us. 63) He said, O my people! Consider this, if I have a clear proof from my Creator and Sustainer that He has granted me a program for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of human community from Himself, who then will help me against set-up systems and law of Allah for consequences if I abide not by His guidance? What can you add to my person in that case other than making me yet bigger loser than yourselves? It is clear for anyone to see what is the actual argument between people ie it is all about how people are living or should live and why or how they should not live and why not. It is all about living on basis of personal gain at the expense of each other or living on basis of well being of all as a community. One way of life leads to mutual destruction in due course and the other to heights of excellence. 64) So O my people! This beneficial guidance of Allah is a reference for you to live by so let it rule in the world of Allah freely and hinder it not otherwise you are bound to find yourselves caught up in severe consequences of your harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. Here a messenger of Allah is telling his people, I have been send with a mission by Allah to bring about a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah ie to build a proper human community. Since to build a community one needs a foundation whereupon or on the basis of which people could be brought together to work as one, so this guidance is to serve that purpose therefore self impose living by it. It is a matter of self organisation and self regulation so that people become a community upon some agreed formula which is pointed in this verse. The Quran does not talk about miracles and magic instead it is very down to earth book telling people facts and ideals to learn and live a life worth living. 65) But they prevented its implementation so he said, gain personally as much as you can at the expense of each other through your institutions based upon foundation of personal gains for a limited number of days because consequences are to follow and that is a forewarning that cannot fail due to the fact that set-up systems and laws of Allah never fail to deliver results of peoples’ harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. Word AQAROO is from root AIN, QAAF and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is render ineffective or not to let something happen. Also to cut off a tree from its roots, to cut off a tree from its trunk, to stop something from growth or development, to stop something from taking roots, to stop or prevent a tree from producing fruit, to prevent something from doing something in some sense, a women who is incapable of producing children, barren land, to injure, to be savaged by an animal, to hamstrung, to kill potential in something for development or growth, to place obstacles in the way of something, to be barren, to be sterile, to be intoxicated, to be alcoholic, to cut off hind legs of a camel, to prevent something from happening in some way, to kill by stabbing something fatally, the main part of one’s dwelling, real estate, landed property, residence, furniture, medicine, remedy, solution of problem or cure of a disease etc etc. 66) So when Our set law of consequences began showing its dire effects after things reached the tipping point, from that period of humiliation We saved Saleh and those who committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity along with him through guidance from Us for their survival and prosperity. Surely your Creator and Sustainer is consistent and powerful enough to see through His plan. The Quran tells mankind about a constant struggle between people for survival and growth ie it tells people that it is survival of the fittest idea at work in nature and mankind need to rise above that using guidance of Allah to learn and live like real human being with sense. This is the main reason why Allah sent messengers and books. If people will keep on living like other animals then the situation told about in the stories of the messengers will continue. The only way to break this cycle of violence and painful suffering is to learn things and interact and participate in human society as told by the creator and sustainers. This is why the Quran needs to be understood properly and followed faithfully. 67) That is how after a long period of harmful and destructive interaction between themselves sudden uprising took by surprise these inflictors of harms and destructions upon each other and in that way the new era in their jurisdictions uprooted their rule, Word SAAIHAH is from root SWAAD, YAA and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a sound that is produced with full strength. Also loud cry, shouting, to become frightened, to die with fear, looting, to tear the calm by a loud noise, to disturb by loud cry, a sound at the time of earthquake or volcanic eruption, to yell, to cry out, to hail, to dry up, to ripen, a cry at the time of an attack by a party on its enemies etc etc. Word JAASIMEEN is from root JEEM, SAA and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to stick to something and not let it go. Also the sitting of birds on their breasts, a bird or an animal that is killed after it is tied down and used as a target, something that lies in a place without any movement, to become a piled up, a person or an institution that stops functioning the way it should, something that becomes stuck in some way, something that opposes change for some reason, something that becomes still, body, organisation, association, corpse, structure, to crouch, to lie down on one’s chest, to lie face down, to be heavily laden, lying flat, strewn about motionless, to stick to or hold onto a place or a position etc etc. When a people keep living the way that increase harms and destructions in their population then in due course tipping point is reached when some of them over throw the rule by old rulers replacing them with new ones to make a new start. These are bloody revolutions because new rulers keep old ways and so it is only a matter of changing faces or to give a new people chance to rule to see if this will work for a while. That too comes to an end in time. So long as people do not wake up to education based revolution, bloody revolutions will keep coming about. Once people become aware of things through education then they will be in better position to see exactly what they want and how they can get it. All this necessitates cooperation and coordination and that can only come from following truly divine scripture as foundation to start from. Words DAYAARI HIM do not mean their personal houses but their government buildings or offices and institutions and jurisdictions that helped them run their terror campaigns against their own masses. 68) as if they had never flourished there. Be warned! Thamud people denied each other rights to provisions in opposition to guidance of their Creator and Sustainer. So gone are the people of Thamud due to their harmful and destructive mindset, attitude and behaviour against each other. The Quran leaves us human beings in no doubt that if we will not live sensibly by cooperating and coordinating our effort for mutual benefits then force will always be used by some people against the others and all interaction and participation will always be decided on that basis. Only proper education which provides humanity with proper basis for mutual interaction and participation can lead us out of these like crisis otherwise wars and painful sufferings through use and abuse of each other will never leave us alone. It is because if a person has wrong foundation to based his or her life upon then whatever one learns one will use it in that context and this is why education that has no moral foundation is of no real benefit to humanity. A person who is hell bent on using and abusing others will learn new skills and ways to do so to expand on what one does. Likewise a person who is given to helpful mindset will always learn and use his skills to be more and more helpful so one can see how vitally important is to have a proper moral foundation that is beneficial to ensure well being of humanity. If the human world will only promote professional education and invents and mass produces things but leaves use of things to ignorant people then world will only become more and more destructive than peaceful and prosperous. Therefore to ignore moral side of life is to ignore proper foundation for humanity and that is not going to be without serious consequences. If we make people clever by giving them more skills and ideas and leave them on foundation of use and abuse then we are creating more people in the world with greater skills and tricks to use and abuse more people more effectively. Therefore when reaction comes by those who have been used and abused for a long time is going to be more and more dangerous ie each bloody revolution is going to be worse than the one before it. This is why our learning institutions must learn what is of fundamental importance, technological skills or moral foundations? This is why deen of Allah must be taken seriously so that we stick together and work hard to mass invent things and mass produce things for the good of all. Where is sense in inventing new drugs but selling them for profit thereby making them out of reach for those who need them? This is how we are wasting contributions by those who have made any for the good of humanity. It will therefore seem that they did not work for well being of humanity but for profit. A slap on faces of those who did something for humanity but got paid for it and their things did not reach those for whose help they did things if at all. If we do not have proper foundation then whatever we think we do for each other has no credibility because profit or personal gain is at its very foundation. In this sense whatever good we do it is just a by product of our desire to gain personally. This is why we need to reverse our way of life to make it according to the Quran so that we have full credibility that we all deserve for our contributions for well being of each other as a proper human community. 69) For the very same reason there came to Abraham Our missionaries to help him with program for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of his people. They said, we come to you to offer our help to you for bringing about a united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous human community. He said, you are welcome to help me establish a united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous human community so he did not wait long to bring them a fully worked out action plan for the missionary work. Word HANEEZ is from root HAA, NOON and ZAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is fully prepared or properly cooked eg a properly worked out plan of action or properly cooked meat etc. Also slimming a horse through working out ie a horse is taken through tough exercises to make it fit for its purpose, to mix wine with water, roast meat, hot water, to make something sweat through cooking or exercise or training, roast, to cook meet between two stones, to cook meet by sealing it up inside a fire, to finalise something or to actualise something according to an existing plan etc etc. Word IJLIN has various meanings as already explained but here in this verse it means a plan of action to get the job done eg a means to an end just as a ladder is used to get from one end to another. Also camel litter, rush, hurry, calf, ladder, wheel, make beliefs, religion, seat of power, throne, sacred cow, a mechanism for achieving an end etc etc. These people came from another nearby community and were sent by their prophet to deliver some messages to Abraham. This verse shows there were at least six divine messengers present at the same time for different communities eg Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Lot, Jacob and this prophet who sent Abraham his missionaries to deliver him messages and to help Lot and his supporters etc. 70) However he sensed hesitation on their part because they did not seem to take the matter further so he felt concerned about their response. They too noticed his concerned look and said to him, worry not about it just now as we are on another mission concerning people of Lot. 71) It is because his society became stuck in the rut and an object of scorn so he became worried about it therefore through these people We gave his community good news about leadership of Isaac as well as Jacob. In the Quranic context, it is not necessary that Isaac and Jacob were biological son and grandson of Abraham but because Abraham was a community leader therefore he was a father figure for his community members. However ideological children can be biological children as well but not necessarily the other way round. 72) The community said, alas for me! How can I get a good successor for leadership when I am not able to produce one and the leadership I already have is not able to deliver? This news is indeed a strange thing! 73) They said, do you the community find the plan of Allah strange whereby Allah will land you in life of prosperity in abundance O you the supporters of the nation building program, constitution and law? Surely He alone has the right to sovereignty of the universe. As explained already words AHLAL BAAIT in the Quranic context mean people of the program, constitution and law ie people who prefer or desire living by rule of law provided by Allah. This does not mean it does not mean people of the household or people who work in an institution that is build to carry out program given by Allah or people of the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. As stated repeatedly the words and verses used in the Quran have parallel complementary meanings. It is absolutely necessary to acknowledge this fact for anyone who reads the Quran or one will become totally confused about the Quranic text due to the very same word having so many different meanings or the very same verse having various meanings. This has been explained already how language came about and works and why the revelation by Allah had to be this way and that it could not be any other way. Unless one keeps in mind things that have been explained, they will seem difficult to understand when we come across them again and again, particular when people are only used to professional education and have little sense of importance of moral education that is based upon solid foundation. It is because people want to have proof about things and they never think what proof means when it comes to revelation of Allah. It is due to lack of this sort of education that people give no importance to scriptures as moral guides. This mindset, attitude and behaviour only began with rulers, mullahs and money lenders replacing the way of life advised by Allah with make beliefs and useless rituals which all educated people know are false to their very core. Mullahs cannot debate anything intellectually because they have no real knowledge about things and they do not want anyone else to have any either because then they will be questioned and they will lose their place of power among masses. This is why if anyone questions their nonsense they immediately issue their fatwas to get rid of such people and masses stupid as they are fulfil their dirty wishes knowing not that if you will keep killing or undermining intellectuals then community will not be able to develop and regress into oblivion. Ummah has to leave mullah following or it will keep suffering painfully. This is what we see in these stories of the prophets told in the Quran. Therefore if ummah wants to have good life in this world and in hereafter then it must let mullahs go their own way or bring them under proper supervision of proper intellectuals in the ummah. 74) When concern of Abraham was addressed through good news that reached him, he began asking Us if anything could be done to stop people of Lot from doing terrible things they were doing to each other. 75) Indeed Abraham was easy going and tender hearted for the mankind because he was fully devoted to carrying out Our mission. All people who have proper moral base have good heart for well being of humanity which increases with more they learn about things and all people who lack it have envy, rivalry, animosity towards others which increases with more they learn about things. This is why moral people stick together for their own reasons and immoral people stick together for their own reasons. Each offer justifications or reasons they think further their way of thinking. However one people have a proper proof and they can prove it but others have nothing to stand upon. Each time they try they are shot down by their own lies. Here the Quran also tells mankind people who truly become part of divine mission work very hard to make it a success. A clear proof that to make way of life advised by Allah become way of life of all mankind is duty of mankind themselves. It is not at all up to Allah himself to use his power to do things he has left for mankind to do. This is why to say Allah should feed the poor or save the victims of crimes from being victimised by the criminals etc etc is wrong way of looking at thing in the light of the Quran. It is because Allah have given people guidance to set-up this world of theirs in a way that makes things work properly. This is why Islam is a deen and not a make beliefs and useless rituals based religion. 76) We said, O Abraham! Don’t put yourself into worries over this matter because the set-up systems and laws of your Creator and Sustainer always deliver to people results of their own thoughts and actions as they are already forewarned, so they are all set for facing the terrible results of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other and that is an unstoppable process. 77) Later on Our missionaries came to Lot, he was alright with them except that he was hesitant to go along with them as regard their plan. After hearing their plan he said, this is a very distressful time. One should realise from these verses of the Quran that it is very , very disliked thing that anyone should harm or destroy anyone but mankind have no much room to move about. So even when it comes to taking lives of people who inflict harms and destructions upon others, it is of grave concern to those who are going to do it. It is a situation like amputating a person’s limb to save his life. Ultimately people who do not stop inflicting harms and destructions upon community must be isolated or eliminated no matter how painful that exercise may be. This also tells mankind that people who stand for mission of Allah fight for winning and not for losing the battle. This is why they must remain fully prepared so that when they have to enter a battlefield they do not lose or the whole exercise will be in vain. This is why the Quran tells its supporters to remain fully prepared for the battle always because you never know when someone will attack you seeing you unaware. This is why ummah has to be there to begin with so that battle line is drawn properly. So people who are busy trying to divide people in the ummah on baseless divisive grounds are to be taken as enemies and should be eliminated, mainly through proper education and those fail through isolation or mercy killing. The people who divide ummah on baseless grounds are rulers, mullahs and money lenders because they use social, political, religious, economic and financial etc tricks and mechanisms to do so. 78) Behold, there came rushing to him his people when he called upon them who were long addicted to all sorts of atrocities against each other so he said to them, O my people! Here are my foundational nation building guidelines to help you, they are necessary for you to adhere to in order to free yourselves from your wrong doings against each other. So be consistent with program, constitution and law of Allah for the well being of each other as a proper human community and do not undermine my hard work in presence of my visitors among us. Why there cannot be a man among you of an appreciable leading character if you follow my advice? Word YUHAROON is from root HAA, RAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to run fast. Also to drive, to make some run fast, to run about in confusion, to have strong desire for something, lion, agitate, urge, tremble with fear or rage, to move towards something fast with happiness, to move fast towards something in an emotionally charged way, to go in haste, to hurry, to walk briskly, to flow, a weak person, to speed up etc etc. Word TUKHZOON is from roots KHAA, ZAA and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that falls short of a set standard. Also hanging one’s head low in shame, debasement, disgrace, lack of honour, something that feels troublesome or causes worry or anxiety or regret, to be in a sorry state of existence, to feel ashamed, to feel hesitant, to feel unhappy about something, to fail to achieve or accomplish something, to fail to live up to one’s responsibilities, to distance oneself from grace or happiness or prosperity, lacking zest or vigour, lacking honour or self respect, to compel, to manipulate, to exercise self control, to humiliate, to humble, to abase, to shame, a disgraceful act, abasement, to suffer humiliation etc etc. Word DAAIFEE is from root DWAAD, YAA and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that inclines towards something. Also guest, visitor, inclination, having tendency towards, nearness, to host, to bend towards, a person who becomes surrounded from all sides in a battle, refuge, shelter, protection, enclosure, sides of a valley or a mountain, to belittle, to add something to something else, the time near the time of sunset, to seek hospitality, to seek help, to fear, to be cautious, to proffer hospitality etc etc. Word BANAATEE from roots BAA, NOON and WOW/YAA has been explained already. It means basis, ground, building, male or female off-spring ie son or daughter, roof, ceiling, dome, terms and conditions of an agreement, goals and guidelines or aims and objectives of a constitution, a structure, a construct, to raise a building upon provided foundation, to built upon, to raise etc etc. Any man who has self respect feels ashamed of his people in front of another people from outside particularly when his people misbehave in presence of strangers. It is because such behaviour reflects very badly on the leadership of the nation as well as on the nation itself as a whole. This is why ummah and its individuals need to become self aware and aware of universal realities and rise to gain respect in eyes of the nations of the world so that people look up to ummah instead of looking down on it. This ummah is brought such low by its rulers, mullahs and money lenders through their touts, supporters and followers. All for sake of personal gains at the expense of each other therefore so long as people of ummah will live on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other they can never become a proper human community. Not only that but in the world today it is not possible for disadvantaged nations to become advantaged nations against those nations that are already established because they have all the tricks of the trade under their sleeves. It is they who invented the game and they knew how to play it before anyone else, so it is very difficult to beat such nations at their game if not outright impossible. This is why building up strong defence is necessary to fight off any aggression by such nations instead of trying to be economically successful against such nations. Borrowing more at higher interest rates is not good for poor states that cannot produce enough to pay back the loans. Such nations can never come out of debt unless they give up being part of this use and abuse based mechanism for defrauding people. It is therefore very important for mankind to understand how money based dealing works for the rich individuals, families and nations so that they could find alternative that is offered by the Quranic way of life due to which mullahs are funded by these crooks to cover up the actual message of the Quran. Only a handful of people are causing all the problems in the world though use and abuse tricks and mechanisms. 79) They said, you already know your goals and guidelines are not acceptable to us and you also know well how we want to live our lives. 80) He said, I wish I had the needed strength to prevent you from inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains or that I could betake myself along with my people to some rightly guided powerful community. Word RUKN is from root RAA, KAAF and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is to lean on something that is reliable in some sense. Also to incline towards something powerful, to turn towards a dependable solid support, corner, power, might, strong ally, family or community, calm, foundation, confident, to incline towards for support, to rely upon, to seek support in, to find satisfaction or comfort in, something that could provide shelter from something, to look for refuge in something, to bend towards something, to have soft corner for, to have need or desire for, to have overwhelming force to overcome something, something irresistible or that cannot be opposed or overcome or defeated etc etc. During struggle for mission there could come a stage when a person could feel stuck because no more people listen to sense and one has not yet managed to build a community that could stand the ground so one looks for help from some other corner in order to take the mission forward. Strategic alliances therefore become necessary if there is no other way to move forward. This is a situation when one does not want to live by way of life whereby one is forced to inflict harms and destructions upon others in order to survive but he is not allowed to live his own way by others of whom one is a part. In a society that is based upon personal gains way of life at the expense of each other, one cannot live his own way because one is on his own and survival becomes impossible so you either become sacrificial lamb or make others your sacrificial lambs. This is why one can live like others to some degree but can try moving towards the other way of life that is good for human community by trying to educate people to help them change for the better. It is because there are only three ways possible to survive a)have a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah b)rely on natural way of life and beat rivals at their game and c)form strategic alliances to get from natural way of life based upon survival of the fittest to community based way of life based upon guidance of Allah. There is no other way for people to live in this world. This is why each and every person has to live his life along one of these ways of life. It is for this reason having sense of proper moral foundation is absolutely necessary so that one does not unnecessary live by a way of life one does not need to. This is why when humanity has already brought about kingdom based upon guidance of Allah then they cannot live the way animals live in jungle on basis of survival of fittest. They can only live that way till they know not the better way to live. Civilisation and culture does not mean technological advancement of humanity but its advancement on moral grounds. If a people have the best technology but they are not good at using what they have for the well being of humanity then they are just animals with more tricks, mechanisms and weapons to destroy each other. This is why such people cannot be labelled advanced civilisation. The Quran simply states foundational ideals for humanity to build upon but humanity will have to keep developing and progressing to reach that standard as already explained. It is always possible for people to measure or have some ideas where humanity is in relation to its origin and where it ought to be as its ideal. So it is all mater of turning a jungle animal to a highly civilised and cultured person who becomes fully self organised and self regulated and lives by the book as one ought to. 81) Upon witnessing all this envoys said to Lot, O Lot! We are sent to support mission of your Creator and Sustainer and majority of these people have made it clear that they are not going to support your mission of building a proper human community so leave this place with your supporters as darkness of ignorance still covers it therefore let none of you stay behind but rebellious people of your community only. It has chosen for itself that it should face the same fate as its chiefs, their priests, money lenders and their touts. The new beginning that was promised to them, has the time for that new beginning not arrived for them yet? Word ASREE is from roots SEEN, YAA and RAA and SEEN, RAA and WOW/YAA and has been explained already but also means a stream flowing quietly or troops moving towards their targeted enemies without being noticed under the cover of the darkness of the night, to transport someone by night, to seep or spread, to travel by night etc etc. Word YALTAFIT is from root LAAM, FAA and TAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to change direction. Also to prefer or give preference, to turn back, renegade, become an apostate, go back to original state, revert, to turn aside, to turn to one side, to look back, to divert, to distract, to dissuade, to twist, to take care, gesture, to cause someone to turn away from something etc etc. When messengers are sent to people by Allah they tell them about great future if they accept their message so many people join them in the hope of better future. The messengers want to reach as many people as they can so that more and more people could have the opportunity to be part of this great life that will come about if people accepted their message. However there comes a time when no more people listen so now messenger has a very limited choice ie if he has managed to get majority support then he takes over the community as a whole but if not then minority has to move elsewhere to start a new life on their own as new community with a new ideology to live by. Missionary life is full of hardships and troubles because opposition is always fierce till the community comes about and start functioning as such. So mission work is no task for any weak hearted or foolish person. One can see how strong and clever a person has to be to not let people hurt him and not hurt anyone unnecessarily. This game is far more complex and sophisticated than survival of the fittest. It is because one is trying to survive oneself in this very dangerous world and one is also trying to help others survive to lead them to safety. In comparison therefore it is relatively much easier to kill others in order that one survives oneself. This not only shows how great people were the messengers of Allah but also how great people need to be those who want to follow them. A strong slap on faces of mullahs who think their stupidity will help then conquer the world for Islam. It due to their such nonsense ummah has been going from bad to worse and still going down because people have no idea what the message of the Quran is thanks to mullahs who have confused them to such degree about the message of the Quran. 82) When time for fulfilment of Our promise came We caught the place of people of Lot turned upside down by sudden revolt because We made obvious to it importance of properly organised and regulated institutions and record keeping in a classified way, Phrase AALIHAA SAAFILAHAA means to ruin, to turn upside down, to raise bottom of the pile people to high positions of power and to bring down people in position of power to level of down trodden, to destroy a place or people in such a way that it is totally ruined, to turn people in power into slaves and slaves into masters etc etc. Word AALIA is from root AIN, LAAM and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to rise or be high in some sense. Also sublime, supreme, high, honourable, noble, high class, civilised, cultured, to mount up, height, exaltation, loftiness, grandeur, to ascend, to tower, pride, notables, tops and extras etc etc. Word SAAFILA is from root SEEN, FAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to go low. Also low, down trodden, bottom of the pile, low class, uncivilised or uncultured, to be base, to be vile, to be wild, lower part of an object, low in position, debased, degraded, vanquished, humbled etc etc. Word HIJAARAH is from root HAA, JEEM and RAA. It has been explained already but it also means intellect or intelligence because that keeps people from straying or wandering off all over the place in their thoughts, something that confines something for some purpose, organised and regulated institution or kingdom or household etc etc. Phrase WAMTAR ALAIHAA HIJAARAH means to let one lose one’s sense of direction, to one become confused or remain confused or in chaos, to let become insane due to bundles of problems that as if rain down upon a person or a people, a state in which one loses one’s sanity. The volcanic mountain debris that fall down after being shot up by force of volcanic explosions, the debris that fall from sky coming down to earth from outer space etc etc. Word SIJJEEL is from root SEEN, JEEM and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is official records. Also scrolls, scribe, overseer of records, written scrolls, tablets of baked clay upon which official records are kept, brimstones, stones upon which records are scribed, stones, a place wherein official records are kept, an office of records, official accounts, historical records, huge buckets completely filled with water, taking turn in handling something, relay, team work, dialogue, conversation between people speaking in turn, generosity, something that becomes completely filled with something and turns upside down, a population that becomes filled with atrocities and becomes ruined etc etc. Word MANDOOD is from root NOON, DWAAD and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to lay things layer upon layer. Also things that happen one after the other or successively and persistently, to put things together in an organised way to suit the purpose, the rock and stones that lay upon each other in layers, sediments, layers of clouds, pile of things, bunches of fruit growing in rows over one another, stack of stones, the family elders, things arranged in a rows or stacked up on top of each other, clustered things, sequenced things, marked things for purpose of some sort of arrangement or organisation etc etc. The promise talked about by Allah is to both people ie those who support the message as well as those who oppose it. Each people are promised outcome of their own thoughts and actions be they good or bad. So those who support the message get the promised beautiful life through help and support of each other and those who oppose it end up destroying each other by fighting with each other as explained already. 83) as described by your Creator and Sustainer. Yet they ignored all this therefore such uprising is never far away from those who instead keep inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains in opposition to Our guidance. These verses show us that God wants people not to waste their time in petty quarrels among themselves over little things instead they should get busy in educating each other and organising and regulating themselves as a proper human community based upon divine constitution for fulfilling the heavenly set goals according to provided guidelines. So long as people keep ignoring this and keep wasting their time in all sorts of nonsense, they will keep going through this cycle of aimless existence and painful suffering till they have learned to be proper human beings as a community. 84) And likewise to the people of Madyan We sent their brother Shuaib who said to them, O my people! Abide by program, constitution and law of Allah because you have no ruler other than Him. So do not fall short of the set standard as measure for balancing human community properly. I see your future bright if you will follow my advice but I also fear for you the time when the results of your harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against this standard and each other could encircle you. Word MIKYAAL is from root KAAF, YAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to measure something against something in some sense. Also to set a standard, to take a measure for some reason, to measure social interaction or participation against a set standard for social interaction and participation to avoid troubles and problems in a society, the tool with which something is measured, the measured thing, the program, the constitution, the law, the objective, the guidelines, the term or the condition, yardstick, standard weight, volume, measurement, to measure in volume, dry measure, to compare, to evaluate, to estimate, to pay back in kind, unit of measurement, measuring instrument or vessel etc etc. Word MEEZAAN is from root WOW, ZAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is to distribute the weight in such a way between uneven things that all are comfortable with carrying it as per their actual capacity. Also weight, measure, scales, to weight, to weigh out, to see pros and cons, to estimate, to compare, justice, to be wise, to be parallel with, to be equal or equivalent to, to balance the scales, properly proportioned, weight distribution that makes things work properly, proper distribution of legal rights and responsibilities between members of a community or society so that society functions properly, principles for true justice, firm foundation that is properly balanced for fulfilling a set purpose, rules and laws based upon solid wisdom that ensure well being of mankind etc etc. 85) So O you my people! Fulfil your needs and wants according to the measures set as standard that is properly balanced and do not defraud people out of their rightful provisions so that you do not end up causing rifts and wars between people in the world. 86) Following that standard which is proper in sight of Allah because it guarantees bright future for mankind is beneficial for you if you will truly commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of human community and remember I am not set upon you as a guard to stop you from harming each other by force rather it is up to yourselves to organise and regulate yourselves as a proper human community. In these verses the Quran leaves no room for ifs and buts as to how humanity ought to organise and regulate itself for its own well being and bright future. It is never possible to keep an eye on anyone by anyone so none can take that responsibility but if people want a community life then they will have to educate themselves so that they can see why they need to organise and regulate themselves as individuals and as a community. People can never stop each other from crimes against each other it has to come from within each person and community as to why they should not commit crimes against each other. Unless people have confidence in the message of Allah and know that they will have to face his set measures in here and in hereafter they can do anything they like to each other without fear of being caught by anyone. If people do not accept existence of God or that they will have to face his justice in the end, they can feel free to do anything they like to anyone. This is why most of the world is living the way it is and people are comfortable with using and abusing each other for personal gains because either they do not accept the idea of existence of God or they follow mullahs’ version of God who spread the message of intercession and forgiveness just through uttering a few words for atonement of their so called sins. All this because such people think God is all about make beliefs and rituals, not about goals and guidelines for living in this world for a purpose according to a set plan of God as told in the Quran. So no wonder the world is turned ugly by teachings of mullahs who are selling salvation very cheap that anyone can buy. Mankind therefore must educate themselves to see through this falsehood spread by mullahs in the name of God or they will be buying into false hope which will turn them blue when they will have to ultimately face the set-up systems and laws of Allah in hereafter just like mankind are facing set-up systems and laws in this world. Here it is also made clear what is meant by having freedom to choose to follow deen of Allah or not and what is meant by messengers not sent as guards over people. It is because people must behaviour properly themselves and not look to others to make them behave. This is why laws legislated in the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah are only to help regulate society and not to ensure none will commit crimes because we have good laws in place and good measures to detect crime and catch the criminals. However people who are well aware of benefits of a properly founded human community which is properly organised and regulated to ensure as much as humanly possible well being of people why will they deliberately destroy that kind of society themselves and fall victims to all kinds of problems? This is why education is absolutely necessary so that minds of people are fully satisfied with guidance of Allah. Another strong slap on faces of stupid mullahs who teach people make beliefs and useless rituals instead of proper knowledge that Quran contains for them. 87) They said, Oh Shuaib! Does your way of organising and regulating human community demand that we give up serving rulers whom our forefathers served and that we give up our customs and traditions and the right to do what we like with our own things and yet you regard yourself the only tender hearted person and the only person wise enough to understand things properly? This verse is about real argument between the two sides a)the one that regards owning things its birthright for individuals at the expense and exclusion of each other and b)the one that regards all things property of Allah and therefore the rights of all human beings as assigned to them by Allah. The world belongs to Allah and he has given its management right to mankind as a community. If therefore community through consultation and agreement of all its individuals assigns right of having and using anything only then individuals have right to have and use whatever they are assigned by the community. This is why none has the right to use and abuse anyone through mismanagement of human population or the resources. It is because Allah is owner of everything therefore he has full right to dictate to mankind how they should use his provisions for them properly so that well being of mankind is ensured and so that plan of Allah could therefore reach its fulfilment. All this has been explained in detail already. 88) He said, O my people! Consider this that if I have a clear proof of guidance from my Creator and Sustainer and He has granted me a beneficial program for setting up His provided sustenance for the well being of mankind then how can I go against that? I am not opposing you in what I am forbidding you just because I intend to harm and destroy you rather I desire nothing other than your development and progress through reformation for the benefit of all of us so far as it is within my capacity. My success depend only upon my own hard work according to guidance of Allah, so upon His set-up systems and laws I rely because I refer to His provided advice. Word TOWFEEQEE is from root WOW, FAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is consistency between things. Also harmony, agreement, to match, to be in harmony with, to come upon by chance, to occur at the time of something, to succeed, to be right, to be well guided, to inspire, to bring about reconciliation between parties, state of being suitable, accord, to be as required, to be equal, coincidence, to make things ready for some task, to provide things needed for fulfilling an objective or task, to make ready things needed for a task, to make produce something according to specifications etc etc. 89) So O my people! Let not your disputing with me bring upon you the doom similar to that of the people of Noah and Hood or Saleh and people of Lot are not far off in time from you either. 90) Therefore seek blissful, dignified and secure existence through guidance of your Creator and Sustainer by turning towards it. No doubt guidance of my Creator and Sustainer is capable of turning mankind into a people who ensure well being of each other out of love for each other. Just as word MOMIN means the one who is in peace and brings peace to others through their mutual cooperation and harmony so words RAHEEM and WADOOD mean he who is full of mercy and love and brings others the same through harmony between themselves. The attributes of Allah are not told about in the Quran just for informing humanity about being of Allah but also so that people work themselves towards being a people that reflect his nature in themselves through interaction between themselves and the rest of thing in this universe. Some attributes of Allah appear to contradict each other but the use of them is meant to be in such a way that is proper in its result eg Allah approves thoughts and actions of people when they do what is beneficial and constructive for each other and disapproves their thoughts and actions when they do what is harmful and destructive to each other. The outcome of thoughts and actions of people is a fixed outcome that is delivered to them by set-up systems and laws of Allah according to his plan for the purpose he has created this universe and things in it. There is no randomness at work in this universe because Allah does not work haphazardly. It is stupidity of mullahs who have learned no sense so they deliver to others their own nonsense whereby they attribute all sorts of foolishness to Allah and his messengers and revelations. 91) The chiefs said, O Shuaib! Most of what you say makes no sense to us so in our opinion you are standing on a weaker foundation and were it not for the strength of your supporting community we will have thrown you out of our midst but still you cannot overcome us with the support you have. Word RAHT is from root RAA, HAA and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a group of reliable people who support each other. Also family, clan, tribe, community, party, a group of people men or women or mixed who rely on support of each other, a crowd of people, a governing body, staff, a number of people who work as a team, regime, a group of people who create divisions in the family or clan or community or society through rivalries and animosities, a group of several leading people, ring leaders, mound covering one of the entrances to the jerboa’s tunnel, ways or means used to escape predators or enemies, tricks or mechanisms used to confuse or fight off an enemy, an escape route or a way out of a situation or danger, a secret tunnel to get an enemy unaware or to escape an enemy with being noticed by the enemy etc etc. Word RAJAM is from root RAA, JEEM and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to distance oneself from something or distance something from oneself for some reason. Also to keep away from something or keep away something for some reason, to stone, stones, to kill by stoning, to accuse, to accuse falsely, to slander, to abuse, to rebuke, to throw out, to boycott, to isolate, to break away, to terminate a relationship, to curse, have nothing to do with something or someone any more, sling, a mechanical thing for throwing stones, to guess, to assume, to conjecture, to keep one away from things of need or necessities of survival or luxuries of life, baseless thoughts or ideas or concepts, claim or accusation without evidence or proof, astrology or palmistry or any other such art used for conning people, soothsayer, a person who falsely claims to be able to foretell future events to trick others for personal gains, fortune teller, make beliefs, superstition, to stack stones on each other, to pile up or heap up stones, to drive away, to expel, doubt, shooting stars, divining, to gauge or estimate level of water in a well, missiles, projectiles, rocks, to cast out or castaway, outcast, untouchable etc etc. 92) He said, O chiefs of my people! Do you regard my community more powerful than guidance of Allah that you spare us due to our strength while you disregard His guidance and use and abuse each other and take Allah for something extra just in case you need Him when things you rely upon leave you in the lurch? Surely within grasp of guidance of my Creator and Sustainer is all that you are supposed to be doing. Word ZIHRIYAA is from root ZWAA, HAA and RAA. Already explained that it means back up but also means to take along something extra for assurance in case things go wrong and it becomes useful eg an extra camel on a journey in case it is needed like people take a spare tyre in their cars just for feeling a little bit more assured. Here the idea is to tell people to stay away from treating concept of God like it is not really needed by you when things are going ok for you rather use his guidance so that you never get into trouble in the first place. Here the mullahs are targeted along with rulers and money lenders. The point made here is that you people take God for something spare that is used in spare time if need be instead of taking him as basis for living your lives because he has the knowledge to guidance you how to live your lives properly. This is like treating God like people take a spare tyre in a car that is hardly ever used unless things go wrong ie one of the normal tyres on the car wheels punctures. The Arabs used to take extra camels when they went on a journey just in case any of their used camels became unfit to carry on the journey in the middle of their journey. This verse therefore tells people to not to take God in religious sense as an imaginary friend for personal comfort when all others leave you on your own when things you rely on in your life fail you. So make beliefs and useless rituals are of no use in sight of Allah instead people should learn to make sense of things in light of real world realities and guidance of Allah and bring about a proper human community and kingdom based upon guidance of Allah so that none is left in isolation throughout one’s life. In short Allah is telling mankind to create a human society that is good for all human beings for all their lives everywhere. Don’t live on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other and thereby destroy community spirit in each other or you will have no help from Allah or humanity in this life or in hereafter so you will live a life full of worries and regrets in this world and after life is not going to be any better either, so why knowingly make a mess of your own life as well as of lives of others? Moreover strength of community of Shuaib did not come from people themselves but because they based themselves upon guidance of Allah and that is why once a number of people joined on basis of guidance of Allah as a brotherhood their chiefs could do no more ham to them anymore. So if a people join together as a brotherhood on basis of goals and guidelines that guaranty their bright future then nothing can harm or destroy them so long as they maintain their formation by keeping up with its requirements. A clear lesson for ummah today as to how they too can come together and take a solid stand against all other people who are based upon ways of life that are founded upon personal gains at the expense of each other. In order to do so the ummah will have to get themselves rid of rulers, mullahs and money lenders who stand in the way of unity of ummah because they work for keeping divisions in the ummah alive on basis of social, political, religious, economic and financial grounds. This is not true only for this ummah but in case of whole of humanity at large. If people in the world want blissful, dignified and secure existence then they have no better choice than properly understanding and accepting the message of the Quran and following it faithfully. If they will do that then within a few decades whole of humanity can stand on its feet and rise to heights of excellence. Nothing is impossible even is if a considerable minority of the people in the world decides to go for it whole heartedly. This is why people who claim to be Muslims if they really become an ummah on basis of the Quran, they can work wonders but will they ever do that? So far they have not bothered much but may be they will in the future as life gets harder and harder for them due to the way of life that is already at work among them thanks to their foolishness and stubbornness. 93) Therefore O my people! If you do not accept true what I am saying then you keep on interacting and participating among yourselves according to your adopted way of life and I along with my supporters will participate and interact as a community among ourselves according to way of life adopted by us and soon you will find out which of us will end up at a dead end and humiliated due to adopting a way of life that only and only leads to that outcome and that way proves one of us on the wrong path, so keep an eye out for the outcome of your thoughts and actions if you will, I too am keeping an eye out for the outcome of our thoughts and actions. Here and elsewhere in the Quran the final test of the truth of the message of Allah is to put it into practice and see for yourselves whether it delivers the foretold results or not. If it does then it is true but if it fails then it is false. The truth of divine guidance has been proven repeatedly in each and every household throughout the world through out times the question is, how? It is because each person is born into a family and any family that works as one succeeds and anyone that does not fails, particularly the one that is involved in infighting. The same is true about all villages, townships, cities and countries. This is why the divided world is a failure and united world is a success. The truth of the message is therefore already obvious for us to see unless we deliberately want to play blind and keep on making our world hell and keep making each other suffer due to our stupidity and putting blame on God for not providing us with right sort of guidance. 94) So when time for fulfilment of Our foretold results came, We delivered through Our program promised outcome to Shuaib and those who committed themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity along with him according to Our guidance but the uprising took the inflictors of harms and destructions upon each other against Our advice by surprise that is how new era in their jurisdictions uprooted their rule, 95) as if they had never flourished therein before. Behold! Like Thamud gone are the people of Madyan! One can very clearly see how nation after nation ended up destroyed by its own hands because they did not live by advised way of life by Allah and instead adopted a way of life that could only lead them to that end instead of brilliant future. These verses prove the Quran a down to earth book free of nonsense that mullahs attribute to it due to their stupidity. 96) And thereafter We sent Moses with Our goals and guidelines with authority that was self evident 97) to Pharaoh and his chiefs because they lived by rule of Pharaoh and rule of Pharaoh was not founded upon proper guidance. 98) That is how he led his people to the day of uprising because he led them into the fire of hatred. How awful was the state of painful suffering in which they landed themselves? 99) Humiliation followed them into this state of existence and so they ended up facing the day of uprising and upheavals. The harmful and destructive result of harmful and destructive thoughts and actions. When a people start from an affluent position and stop paying attention to things that bring them that progress and prosperity then gradually prosperity begins to disappear because progress slows down and finally halts and people become stuck and things start going backwards ie regression begins and at any of these stages masses could rise against their rulers, priests and moneylenders as rivalry based animosity leads to hatred between people and finally civil war begins as people start robbing each other for living. All these are part of concept of YOWMAL QIYAAMAH because that is how a nation is made to face results of its own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions. 100) Such are the stories of the nations that went before you which We reveal to you, of them some people have survived and some have ceased to exist. 101) It were not Us who harmed and destroyed them rather they harmed and destroyed each other and thereby ended up destroying themselves as nations. The rulers they served instead of Allah did not avail them at all when the law of consequences set by your Creator and Sustainer showed them results of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions because they added nothing to their lot but mutual harms and destructions. Again and again Allah explains that he is not a tyrant punishing people for their sins. That is not what he created this world for. He created mankind to learn things and improve themselves so much so that one day human beings become proper managers of the universe for their own well being and see glory of Allah in their own creativity. So the ways of life people invite each other to must be properly examined before being adopted for short term personal gains at the expense of rest of humanity. Here it is also made clear that none can intercede or intervene in set-up of Allah outside his plan and guidance. A clear proof that make beliefs and useless rituals and personality cults are all useless to adopt. The real things is doing what is right and that is the only way people can save themselves from all sorts of self created problems. Here and elsewhere the Quran contradicts the idea that anyone can save anyone outside the set-up systems and laws operating in the universe. This is world of cause and effect, so only those thoughts and actions matter which can have effect on the real world realities. If one is hungry then one can only get food if one does something that brings him food. 102) And likewise your Creator and Sustainer found nations caught in consequences of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions whenever He found a township inflicting harms and destructions upon each other against His advice, surely going against His guidance has such terrible consequences. 103) In fact, there is an undeniable proof and lesson in all this for such individuals and nations as pay attention to the terrible end results of harmful and destructive thoughts and actions and therefore do not go down that path. That is why there is to come a period of time that will unite all the people and that is the era worth bringing about in actual reality, 104) so We delay it not but according to plan for which We have set-up universal systems and laws to work. A time is coming when mankind will start living by divine standard having failed to find anything better after so many trials and errors. By then humanity would have learned the lesson the hard way that living by a properly balanced rule of law is the only way to live in unity and peace to make progress and be prosperous. 105) When that period of time comes about none will do anything but it will be judged according to set standard of Allah. That is how it will be decided who is a law breaking person and who is a law abiding person. 106) As to those who oppose rule based upon guidance of Allah they are bound to end up in state of terrible painful suffering wherein they will have only cries, sighs and sobs. 107) They will remain in that state of existence for as long as the heavens and the earth endure as per plan of your Creator and Sustainer. Surely your Creator and Sustainer decides matters as per His plan according to His set-up systems and laws. These verses mean that time will come when people will become a community based upon guidance of Allah and they will decide all matters accordingly as a properly organised and regulated people. However, such a thing will not happen till people keep on living their lives on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other. So if people want to bring about the proper human community then they must learn the Quran properly and spreads its message properly far and wide so that humanity could be educated about it and so that it then comes together for this purpose and turns it into a reality. 108) As to those who support rule based upon guidance of Allah they are bound to end up in blissful, dignified and secure life providing kingdom and they will remain in that state of existence for as long as the heavens and the earth will last as per plan of your Creator and Sustainer. A lasting gift without break. This verse does not mean individuals will live in this kingdom for ever but that community that will live by divine law will keep on prospering for as long it abides by program of Allah just populations that will oppose his guidance and therefore will keep on suffering. This however does not means that mankind will not discover one day the way to live much, much longer than today. It is possible that humans will overcome things that cause them to age and may also be able to stay young for longer and longer. It is because a proper human community will be top human community due to being progressive and productive. So nothing will be impossible for it to achieve or accomplish in this universe. As explained already, the Quran sets ideals for a proper human community so people will have to evolve to those ideals in their own time in their own ways as it suits them or as they choose. 109) Therefore be not in confusion concerning the people whom these masses take for their rulers instead of Allah. They do not take whomever they take for their rulers but just as a matter of tradition of their ancestors before them not using properly their given brains and senses by Us. So We too will keep making them face the results of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other without any let or abatement. This verse makes it clear that if people do not take the one who has right to rule and take every other tom dick and harry as their ruler then they should not complain about what those rulers do to them. There is no point in humanity supporting such people from among themselves who have no right to rule them and then crying to Allah for help to get rid of them when they do to them what they promised. Also it is important for people to note that Allah does not help people by doing things himself what people ask for but he guides people how to do things by following his guidance. So no point in banging one’s head on the floor for help of Allah instead of reading the Quran and preparing oneself for the task ahead as explained by Allah. It is the very reason that Islam is not a set of make beliefs with some useless rituals but a way of learning and doing things for certain set out goals and according to provided guidelines. Allah no longer talks to anyone after his final messenger has come and gone leaving behind his message for humanity to get to know it and do as it says. All that people seek is provided for within the Quranic text so people should see what problems are facing them and what the Quran teaches them to solve those problems. The Quran is not a book of pooja paat or holy mantras or magic words to recite and all will happen supernaturally and people will have nothing to do. The Quran teaches mankind to prepare themselves for a lot of hard work with steadfastness and consistency and go through with what needs to be done till objectives are achieved. Mankind need to stop personality cults and people or idol worship and concentrate on educating each other about abiding by proper rule law handed down by Allah instead of desiring one thing but working for something else. If you desire to build a house you must work towards building a house otherwise house cannot appear all by itself magically by your saying, O Allah, please build me a house. Allah has provided everything so that all needs of mankind are fulfilled but how can mankind know this unless they study the Quran the way they should. Even people who claim to be followers of the Quran think it is a book for getting their dead forgiven of their sins. They are seen lying on graves everywhere seeking help for real world real life problems of the dead. This is where one ends up when one is foolish and reads the Quran for all the wrong reasons because it only guides people who are self aware and aware of the world in which they live, not baby minded people who have never bothered to learn any sense at all in their life. This is terrible waste of God given brains and senses by such people. They should not be worst than animals despite having much sophisticated brains and senses. 110) Even though We gave Moses the book as a manifesto, as a constitution and as a law to unite people according to it yet divisions were created in its name. The very purpose the book was sent to them by your Creator and Sustainer was so that they decide all matters between themselves according to it but instead of learning to understand it properly to implement it faithfully and abide by it they remained ignorant therefore confused and in chaos. No book or information is useful for such people as do not bother to use it properly for the purpose it is given. People just do not bother getting out of make beliefs and useless rituals, personality cults and self gratification through personal gains etc. For proper development process of gathering information and process of making proper sense of it are very important. We need to understand what information is and what understanding of information is and how we come to understanding of anything at all. The questions that each person needs ask oneself are, what is information, do we discover it or does it come to us or is it a bit of both but in what order if any? To think about such questions is very important because then we come to realise difficulty and hard work involved in all this process. Once we come to know answers to such questions only then we can appreciate what difficulties we ourselves have been through and what difficulties and hard works others have gone through in this regard due to which we are where we are ie because of contributions of each and every person whether we know people personally or not. The world of knowledge we have inherited we did not created it nor did we create ourselves. So information whatever we have and whatever we are going to discover is just an effort of discovery on our part. Some discover more of it others less depending on our individual circumstances and situations. The basic fact no matter what, is that we either get information or it is fed to us ie either we learn things by ourselves or we are taught things by others. When we learn things ourselves, we have our own reasons to do so and when others teach us they have their reasons to teach us and we have our reason to learn it. So whatever we know is not necessary unadulterated but it is possible to get what is beneficial and leave what we think is harmful. This is where having a proper criterion becomes fundamental to see why something is beneficial or harmful and whether it is personal gain at the expense of community that should be important for us or gain of community whereby all its members including ourselves can benefit. The other questions are also important eg why we learn things, why we learn one thing rather than another, why others teach us what they teach us, why they teach us one thing rather than the other? We must think about these like questions seriously, why? It is because then we come to realise we have motives and agendas to satisfy. When we come to realise these like points then we become aware of problems and pitfalls which we should avoid so that our conclusions become satisfactory rather than biased and prejudiced unsatisfactory and confusing, leaving us in lurch. This is why we need clear criterion to judge things at each and every step of our way. The problem with most of us is that we take things as black and white but that is never a reality. World is what it is and people are what they are. Ideologically we can have a starting point and we can have a finishing point. But we must never overlook the middle bit or the grey areas. We each start from somewhere therefore we cannot dispute that. However, we must question where we are going from where we are and why we are going where we are going? If we could help it we should never have started our journey without knowing where we are going but that is where we are lost. That is because once we are born we start our journey without knowing where we are and where we are going. Ask yourself if you knew at the time of your birth where you were and where you were heading and that will sort the problem out for you. Mankind were on the move as soon as they were born but they did not know where they were and where they were going. It took them ages to become self aware ir to find themselves and the reason is they are self learning robots to begin with. People are unable to learn about their own environment till they become self aware to that degree whereat they can learn about other things. It takes years for one to learn how to wipe his back side properly. This is why we are not in school as soon as we are born because we know we cannot learn things we are taught at school level at that age and we need more experience and leaning before school age. Even when we are of schooling age, we do not start at the very top level of learning instead we start at the very beginning and as time goes on if we are interested in learning we complete our school education. All this shows our development in stages with time and effort we put in doing things. This means you do not end up at the end of your learning journey as soon as you start rather it takes its time and your effort or hard work. This being the case, how right are we to dismiss people about their views and their contributions to human society? Why we expect others to be Gods but it is ok to be as we are for ourselves? Why do we expect people to not to make any mistakes when this is not even our own life experience about ourselves and others who develop right before our own eyes eg our younger brothers and sisters and our own children etc? Not only that it is not human to not to go through trials and errors in learning process. This is the way we humans are designed to be. There is nothing inherently wrong with this process itself. What we need to learn is to appreciate what each of us has managed to learn and better ourselves and each other. We need to put ourselves in a frame of mind whereby we look at each other as humans full of mistakes but some of us getting better of themselves and rising above the rest in minimising their mistakes or overcoming them. It seems we have been indoctrinated through make beliefs far too much to think we were perfect in every way right from the start but we have fallen from that perfection, the question in that case is, how could we be perfect if we fell down? What kind of perfection was that which fell apart at first hurdle or trial? If being perfect we have fallen apart then what gives us hope that being broken into pieces we are going to become perfect again? If pieces can make us perfect then how could our perfection right from the start could not keep us perfect? Is it therefore not better to accept that we were not perfect at the beginning but we are becoming perfect through learning and practicing? A clear proof that evolution is a fact not a fiction as mullahs will tell us. The whole Quran is full of statements about gradual progress of humanity and all other things as well. This is what we are looking at when each baby comes into this world and starts his journey of discovery. As one learns so one improves oneself and that is why there can be hope that one day man can rise to a level of having information and its understanding that he will be surprised by himself. A human is like a seed that grows into a tree with time given the right conditions to develop to its full potential. So we must become self aware and environmentally aware and rise to level fit for humanity with help of divine guidance. This is why we should not be critical of those people in a destructive way who have proven themselves to us they are great human beings just because they have made mistakes along the way. Making mistakes is part of being a human being otherwise a human being cannot learn and develop. They are examples or role models for us to follow in things they achieved and we do not need to follow them where they have made mistakes. That is how they have shown us the way. They were perfect in their individual ways for given or undertaken tasks if they were worth pursuing not otherwise yet they were never free of going through life of trials and errors. Even God sent messengers turned grown up people from babies and suffered similar trials like other human beings. As we can see a lot of knowledge is needed to realise what they accomplished. None of them was free of trials and errors and it is foolishness to think human beings are not human beings but Gods. Turning God into a human is as silly as turning a human being into a God. Each is fine in his own place and we will be doing ourselves a great favour by not mixing up things for ourselves and thereby getting confused. 111) However it is a fact that your Creator and Sustainer always made each of the nations face the results of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other in full and that is how He made obvious for mankind that He is fully aware of all that people do to each other and therefore He is able to advise mankind as to what they ought to be doing for better outcome of their constructive and beneficial thoughts and actions for each other. 112) For that very reason stand firmly upon this revealed foundation as you are commanded altogether along with those who have turned to program, constitution and law of Allah along with you and transgress not the set limits therein by inflicting harms and destructions upon each other and remember, He is ever watching all that you do. 113) So never support those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other lest you too end up in painful suffering as a result of your harmful and destructive interactions and participations among yourselves because you will have no protection against set-up universal systems and laws of Allah nor will you have any foundation to rely upon for support. 114) Therefore strive as hard as you can from the start of the day till you are well into the night to establish Our advised community network. Surely actions taken for creating a properly balanced beautiful human community removes the causes for harmful and destructive effects. This is a lesson for those who pay attention to it and think about things thoroughly to understand them properly and spread the message. 115) Be steadfastly persistent in your missionary works because set-up systems and laws of Allah never let the efforts of those who work hard to make their world beautiful for mankind go to waste. 116) Just think about it, why despite Our provision of guidance there were not among the generations before you any people with sense who could educate each other out of mindset, attitude and behaviour based upon rivalry, animosity and warmongering in the land save a minority whom We delivered from the harms and destructions of each other? It is because those who had harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours pursued their worldly ambitions and desires against the way We advised them because they chose to establish themselves through committing crimes against each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. 117) Behold! It was never the case that set-up systems and laws of your Creator and Sustainer destroyed any townships the while their habitants were committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of their human communities. This verse totally destroys the idea of God putting people in hell for their sins as their punishment. Instead God created this universe for his purpose of expressing himself in form of his creativity to be appreciated by mankind but through self development and personal effort and creativity. Not at all blind faith and stupidity created by priestly classes to fool masses. The case is simple that God put in place systems and laws and informed mankind how things work and warned them that going about life the wrong way has serious consequences. It is then left up to people themselves to keep each other on the right course as they see fit. So now if people instead of going about life the right way take wrong turns and end up in their self created troubles then how can God be responsible for their this behaviour? If people live the right way they will end up in a beautiful world made by their own hands as guided by God but if not they will land themselves in an unpleasant world. This surah tells about what happened to people so far and what will keep happening, so is it not the time for mankind to change their ways of living their lives in such a way that they could end up in a life that is blissful, dignified and secure? 118) Had your Creator and Sustainer so planned He could have created mankind as a pre-programmed single community but He chose to give them ability of choice with guidance and put them through struggle to accomplish unity, peace, progress and prosperity for themselves, so they will continue to differ 119) except those whom He has bestowed with ability of understanding things properly and they used it properly because that is what He created them for. That is how the plan of your Creator and Sustainer will find its fulfilment and He will find most of the harmful and destructive leaders and their followers ending up in fire of hatred and wars among themselves. 120) All these stories of the past messengers and their people that We relate to you the people are for strengthening your mind through them. By way of these stories you the mankind have received the correct information about things as well as those who are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind have obtained proper advice and guidance. 121) As to those who do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind say to them, do as you wish and so will we. 122) Wait if you will for results of your thoughts and actions, we too are waiting indeed for results of our thoughts and actions. That will prove decisively in due course, who are the people on the course of actions that leads to unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and who are the people on the courses of actions that lead to divisions, rivalries, animosities, wars and destruction. 123) It is because to rule based upon guidance of Allah alone belongs the future in the heavens and the earth so it is prerogative of Allah alone to set goals and guidelines for everything including human beings therefore serve His program, constitution and law by founding yourselves as a human community upon His guidance and remember always that your Creator and Sustainer is never unaware of whatever you need to do or whatever you end up doing. |
Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
SURAH 12 Yoosuf –The man with vision who works hard to bring about the needed change in the way people live their lives through education for the well being of human community
This Surah is named YOOSUF from root ALIF, SEEN and FAA and YAA, WOW, SEEN and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is constructive. Something or someone constructive, a person who completes something or makes it work, someone who adds something useful or of value to something to make it work, someone or something that adds value to something or someone. Someone who improves something or builds upon a provided foundation. Someone unfortunate, someone in painful suffering, someone regretful or sad about something, an increase or addition, taken away, subtraction, loss, decrease, anger, sorrow, to offend, to challenge, to be contentious, grief, sadness, the one who bring about change for the better, a revolutionary, a man with vision etc etc. Like suras before it this surah is also not named YOOSAF because it is a name of a prophet and that his story is mentioned in the Quran in this surah but because of relevance of the name used to the subject matter of the surah. This Surah is about needed qualities in leadership as well as following, the management and the managed, so that a community could be brought about and maintained successfully on basis of guidance of Allah. If a populace fails to breed or groom beneficial leadership or following then it cannot bring about community spirit or community based upon it. Not only that but even if a community is already there it can start crumbling as quality of leadership or following starts going down this is why not just bringing about but maintenance of the proper human community is also of vital importance. In this surah we are told story of two communities a)children of Israel and b)people of Egypt. Both communities do well at the start but as time goes on both fail to cope due to lack of visionary and capable leadership and following. Israel goes down because rivalry starts within the community as Jacob grows old and community needs new leadership to succeed Jacob. Old man is old man even if he happens to be a messenger of God because a human is basically a human first and then anything else so any human being under goes through same natural processes and problems as any other human being. In this community only Joseph has the real potential to carry on Israel into future but rivals plan his demise and so lose his leadership due to their ignorance based arrogance. This brings Israel down because when things start happening there is none to see them through to lead Israel safely out of troubles. The story of Egypt is also similar that while things ran a bit smoothly everything was mainly ok in Egypt but as time went by troubles started to appear because Egyptian society was based on rivalry and undermining and undercutting each other and the king of Egypt had no idea how to handle them so Egypt was also to go down but it was saved by leadership of Joseph. He not only saved Egypt from ruining itself but also pulled back Israelites as well and along them many other communities from the brink of destruction. All because he was into getting information about things and was totally submerged into making sense of things and because he understood things he was able to look at problems and offer solutions systematically and methodically and that is how he managed to save humanity from potentially disastrous consequences. This is why this story is told in the Quran so that this prophet and his followers could learn the lessons in there for bringing about an education based revolution in their society. When Joseph landed in Egypt after his rivals managed to get rid of him from their community because he was the candidate for leadership and that is not what they wanted, he then proved himself as a useful member of his newly adopted community in Egypt. This caused Joseph yet more problems because the community leadership there also became threatened by his mindset, attitude and behaviour with other people ie he was a person who worked for well being of others. Because of this problem he was thrown in prison, but when Egypt as a whole faced problems the king asked him to take control and run the country using his management skills for handling land and resources, means of production and distribution and people. He did this for years and turned the kingdom round from the brink of destruction. As he became famous for his hard work and wisdom his original community also heard about him and came to see if they too could get some help and after a few trips they found out that it was the very same person managing things in Egypt whom they thrown out of their community earlier so that they themselves could become leaders of their community. However they had not developed any skills for it and so ended up regretting their whole plan against Joseph because they and their community failed to rise to challenges that faced them. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1) Alif Laam Raa. These are statements of the clear book that makes things clear. As explained already word AAYAAT is full of complementary concepts and meanings just like words KITAAB and MUBEEN. The Quranic words and their structuring in verses of the Quran makes the Quran a unique text that is comprehensive in concepts and meanings. Opening up these words in their individual concepts and meanings could turn a single verse into pages of writings due to richness they encompass. This is the main reason this work adopted a way of interpreting the Quran that could help those who have little knowledge of Quranic Arabic so that they could appreciate the Quran better in comparison to simple translations and interpretations of the Quran. If people have basic knowledge of things as explained in detail then this book is self explanatory and therefore very good at making things clear for those who wish to understand them and so make the necessary effort to know them. 2) We have revealed it as a proclamation in a language that makes things distinctively clear so that you the mankind who have learned how make sense of things make efforts to understand it and abide by it for your better future as a proper human community. As explained already the Quran is revealed in a language that is fit for the time and at the stage of its development that was right for serving its purpose. This language links humanity into its past and has the ability to pass on a message that could in time be better understood by mankind without the need for change in the text of the Quran. The Arabic language is root based and when the Quran was revealed it was neither far too simple nor far too advance. Had it been too simple then people will have had great difficulty in decoding the message because it will have been like baby talk where in the very same word is used by baby to express all his ideas due to limited vocabulary. On the other hand had the language become far too advanced then that will have ended up a precision language which will have explained each and every thing in precise detail using vast amount of text that humans could not get through during whole of their lives. So a compromise had to be made by Allah to reveal the Quran so that it served its purpose. This is why the Quranic use of language helps development of human mind because when same word is used for expressing various concepts and meanings then one needs to think out what it means in the context it is used ie it forces one to think and more one thinks the more developed person one becomes because of expansion in volume of information and its understanding. The Quran tells people to ponder over its verses and don’t just read its text and pass over without thinking and trying to understand what is said in the text. All this has been explained in detail already. 3) So let Us furnish you the mankind by means of this Quran with purposefully balanced information to abide by because without having this information earlier you acted like foolish people. Here mankind are told that without revealed guidance of Allah they will have remained in the darkness of ignorance for a very, very long time because learning through personal experience alone is a very slow process. It is because teaching by Allah has been prompting mankind to draw their attention to things they otherwise will not have noticed helped mankind learn and do things quicker. Most of what the Quran is going to tell us has been explained already in detail on basis of these verses that are going to come in surahs to come. Short comments are only added to draw reader’s attention as to where those explanations came from. This is how each and every verse of the Quran has been interpreted by adding information from other verses from elsewhere in the Quran. So that a person does not get confused by reading one bit of information about something in one verses here and another somewhere else in another verse. 4) Call to mind the time when Joseph said to an elder of his nation, O father of my community! I see brilliant future in unity of people as a community therefore I would like to see the current leadership and the following accept my vision for their better future. Word ABEEHI means father as explained already but also elder, leader, chief, predecessor, ancestor, guardian or someone who in some respect looks after someone as a father figure etc. The Quran is not talking about dreams people have during their sleep and their nonsense interpretations by people but visions as their ambitions for their future etc. 5) He replied, O son of my nation! Disclose not this ambition of yours to your fellow community members just as yet in case any of them scheme a plot against you and catch you unprepared because the opposition based upon harmful and destructive mindset, attitude and behaviour is an open enemy of proper human community ideology. Here the Quran advises that personal ambitions based upon goodwill for humanity should not be disclosed to people who have no respect for well being of humanity because they may start plotting against the person and the people who hold such thoughts thereby inflict harms and destructions upon the person and the people. 6) Rest assured it will happen as you imagined because you will be chosen by your Creator and Sustainer for His mission so He will teach you how to diagnose problems properly relating individuals and communities and find their proper solutions that is how He will fulfil His mission through you and the ideological children of Jacob as He fulfilled it through your ideological forefathers Abraham and Isaac before you. That is how your Creator and Sustainer makes obvious for mankind that He rules the universe through wisdom. 7) Indeed in the account of Joseph and his community brethren there are lessons for would be leaders and supporters who want to learn how they should or should not conduct themselves in relation to fulfilment of their needs and desires as a people. 8) His community fellows who stood against his vision for a proper human community said to each other, see Joseph and his supporters they are loved and respected more by our community leadership than us even though we are a group of powerful people of this community. Our leadership is obviously wrong in not considering us for the leadership of our community. 9) Some said to others, in order to throw Joseph out of community leadership contest let us fight Joseph thereby force him out of this place to some far-off land so that the attention of leadership of your people focuses upon you alone as proper candidates for leadership of the community because only after doing that you can be of those who reach their ambition of becoming leaders of the community. Word AWITRAHOOH is from root TWAA, RAA and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to distance something from something in some way.

Word GHAYAABAT is from root GHAIN, YAA and BAA. Already explained but also to cause absence of something or to hide something away or put something away in such a way that it is no longer visible on the stage to take part in a play or scheme of things.

This root has been explained already it means to attack, to be suddenly upon someone as if to attack someone, to mount something, surah of the Quran, biography, to travel by night, surrounding wall of a fort or castle, the watch tower of a castle, height, to rise, honour, dignity, to be better or stronger, to overwhelm or overcome, awe, a bracelet as symbol of power or authority, leading general of an army, a person in-charge of a group or people or troops, commander, a beautiful structure that is very high like a tower, staircase, ranks, strong and beautiful breed of camels, fighters, bandits, plunderers or looters, hostage takers, slave traders, traders, caravans, to jump, to show skills when fighting, to show courage, to dance, to show anger, to appoint as a leader or chief, to subject one to slavery or to take prisoner or hostage, caravan etc etc. 11) So they ask their community elder, O chief of our nation! Why do you not appoint us as security guards over Joseph instead of those already responsible for it because we surely are his sincere well-wishers? Word NAASIHOON is from root NOON, SWAAD and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to prepare something for some task in such a way that it is fit for fulfilling the purpose it is prepared for. Also to put two pieces of a cloth together and stitch them in such a way that they fit each other perfectly, to sew clothes, a person who sews clothes, tailor, needle, to make one thing fit with the other, to reconcile, to prepare two sides to compromise with each other, to advise, to offer advice, purity, to be free of impurities, to purify, honey, sweetness, to purify honey, pure honey, a dress that is prepared and fits the person beautifully, to be a well wisher, to remove rift, to repair something torn in such a way that it is not noticeable, to be of help, to have sympathy for, to stick to something in such a way not to come off it, to patch up, rain falling on arid land, to quench thirst of land or animals or people, sincerity, counsel, to be good hearted, to act in good faith, admonishment, one who takes good care, mentor, to be true in thoughts and actions etc etc. 12) Pass on his security responsibility to us for future so that he could move about for taking care of his business without worrying about his security. We will indeed take good care of him. 13) He said to them, I will be anxious if you accompanied him because I am concerned in case some bandit attacks him the while you are caught unprepared off your guard. Word ZIHBU is from root ZAAL, ALIF and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that hunts down something. Also predator, hunter, wolf, something that tear things apart, creditor, a malicious person, a harmful or destructive person, a person who lives on others, to devour veraciously, a person who attacks others for personal gains, a greedy or selfish person who hunts down others for personal gains, to frighten, to condemn, to cry loudly, to use bad language, to be in agitated state, to be unstable, to try different moves or tricks to get something, to come from different directions to make it a surprise, wolf like, ruffian, nobility, to act in a devious way, forelock, summit, bandit, robber etc etc. 14) They said, if a bandit could attack him despite our number and strength then surely we would be a worthless people. 15) That is how they were able to take him away because they plotted to place him into a dungeon. However We revealed this to Joseph that a time will come when you will make their this course of action a lesson for them but just now they are not learned enough to understand the harm they are inflicting upon themselves as a community. When a people try to undermine their future leadership that has the potential to lead the community then people are set for a leader who is not as capable as the one undermined and as that happens, the community is set for decline. The only capable leader for the time being is Jacob but he is getting old and that means he is not going to be able to carry on as he could when he was young. This is why a capable successor is must if this community is to keep its dignity level at least to what it is. By bringing in incapable people as leaders the community is bound to be undermined because it is not going to have information and understanding needed for unity, peaceful, progressive and prosperous community. Joseph showed that he had the potential to become a great leader due to being a man with vision for the future of the community. This his rivals will come to realise when they fail their community by not being people of vision. Nation building and maintaining needs a lot of hard work, which only a capable leadership can provide with equally good following that understands what leadership demands and why and how it can help to get it. Just as transfer of knowledge ie information plus its understanding needs a capable teacher so it needs a capable student. If either of them is incapable then there is going to be problem with teaching or learning and in both cases proper transfer of knowledge will fail to take place. The same is true when there is incapable leader or following. That is why nations rise or fall depending upon how good or bad they and their leaderships are. 16) At the end of the period of their responsibility for security of Joseph they returned to their chief crying in tears. These people were made responsible for security of Joseph on temporary basis when their time is over they return but without Joseph and then offer excuses as to why Joseph has not come back with them. 17) They said, O our chief, we went on our individual businesses ahead of each other leaving Joseph behind to look after our things and at length the bandit attacked and made off with him. It is not that you are going to be satisfied with our this explanation but we are telling the truth. 18) That is how through rivalry and animosity they brought about denial of his right to succession of community leadership. He said, no I am not satisfied with your explanation rather people involved in your group have made you to cook up a tale regarding this matter. However steadfast persistence is needed for reaching the truth about this matter, so universal set-up systems and laws of Allah should be relied upon regarding that which you assert. Word DAMIN is from root DAAL, MEEM and WOW/YAA. This root has been explained already it means bloodshed, to bleed, blood revenge, to be red in colour, to kill chances of someone to be something, to kill off potential of someone, to kill in cold blood, to murder, to shed blood of someone, to stop someone from being something, to kill off ambition in someone for being something etc etc. Word QAMEESIH is from root QAAF, MEEM and SWAAD.

After seeing the young man he said, O goodness! What a young man and took him to his group. Even though they kept him in hiding like a treasure yet Allah makes obvious what they did. Word WAARID is from root WOW, RAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to reach something.

Concrete meaning of this root is the easy way or mean to reach something in some sense for some purpose. Also to reach something, a way to get to something, ladder, a bucket lowered into a well to reach water to get water, to demand what one is looking for, to make a request for what one needs to someone, to bribe someone to get something done by an official, to look deeper into things to try to understand them, to get to know a situation more closely, to wonder, to find something strange, to hang down, to come near, to lead on, to tempt, to deceive, to submit a proof, to offer money as a bribe, to use one’s good offices, to lure, to entice, to trap, to let down, to draw near, to bring closer, pail or bucket, to lay down the weapon etc etc. 20) His brethren sold him cheap in a hurry for a petty price of a few Dirhams to bandits, for that is what he was worth in their sight.

Concrete meaning of this root is to have little interest in something. Also to hold something in low esteem or value, to take something as useless, to have nothing to do with, take no interest in something or show no interest in something, a person bereft of mannerism or etiquette or respect for rights of others, something disdainful, something in very small amount or quantity, to abstain from, to renounce, to abandon, to forsake, to withdraw, abstemious, abstinent etc etc. The community fellows of Joseph decided to get rid of him in a way that they knew because they were bad apples in the community who had contacts with similar people out of their community so they made a deal with a group of people who were highway robbers to take him away and do with him whatever they liked. All they were interested in was that somehow he is out of their way so that they are free to do as they like in their community. In any human population there are people who try to do something for their population and others who try to take undue advantage of people so if they deem anyone in their way they plot to get rid of that person by using various tricks and mechanism to get their way. One must look at these verses in sense of society, politics and economics and how people interact and participate in their population. The Quran is not a book of pooja paat or mere a book of baseless stories. It is about educating humanity about real issues of daily life that face mankind and the ways to solve them. 21) The Egyptian who bought Joseph from the bandits and freed him said to his community, treat him honourably as if he is one of us, he could prove very beneficial for us so perhaps we can adopt him as a son of our community. That is how We established Joseph in that piece of land and taught him the sense of handling all the affairs that need proper handling in a place. Allah has set-up systems and laws to govern all affairs though most of the people learn not to become aware of all this. This verses explains why Joseph was bought by a leading personality of Egypt because he saw great potential in Joseph to be able to do great things in future. This he proved by talking a lot of sense about things. A proof that Allah does not choose dumb people as his messengers. The Quran itself tells us that dumb people cannot benefit anyone so nobody will adopt any such person because that will be a burden on them instead of being beneficial. It also proves that people who are chosen as messengers of Allah are ordinary people who are born like other people and grow like other kids but more sensible as they are keen observers and learners from those observations. This is why they are able to argue their cases confidently and successfully against chiefs and priests and wealthy people of their communities. Foolish people have no confidence even in themselves never mind being able to convince others. 22) When he reached maturity We had already bestowed on him ability of gathering information about things and ways of making sense of all that. That is how We reward those who work hard to make the world beautiful for mankind. 23) However the ruling elite and priestly class of the community under whose jurisdiction he was working, decided to try and change his way of doing things by closing all the ways of doing things to him saying, come join our way of doing things. He replied, I seek protection in universal set-up systems and laws of Allah, the creator and sustainer of mine Who has entrusted me with responsibility of this good land to manage things therein properly. Surely those who transgress His set limits therefore inflict harms and destructions upon each other prosper not. It is because Joseph treated each and every person properly the people in-charge there became neglected by their people because that is what people do ie go to those people for help whom they find helpful. So they paid more attention to Joseph and that turned them jealous and so they conspire against Joseph to get him out of their way. 24) Yet party of ruling and priestly classes went ahead in order to try and change his mind and he too would have inclined towards its way of doing things had he not been shown by his Creator and Sustainer the results of their course of actions. That is how We shielded him from doing anything whereby he could harm and destroy others and bring gloom and doom upon himself therefore he remained true follower of Our guidance. 25) As each of the parties tried to outdo the other its own way the opposite party was involved in foul play right from the start because it attacked his person instead of his vision in order to shatter his personality. That is how the opponent party landed both the parties at the court of the chief of the community saying to him, what punishment does someone who intended harm and destruction against your community deserve other than imprisonment or a painful chastisement? 26) Joseph said, it was this party of rulers and priests that tried to move me away from my way of doing things and a group of people of this community was present at this event and saw all this. The community chief said that if his vision was attacked the right way then party of rulers and priests is telling the truth and he is lying 27) but if it was attacked the wrong way then he is speaking the truth and the party of rulers and priests is lying. 28) So when community chief examined the statements of the witnesses and came to conclusion that he was attacked the wrong way so that his personality is destroyed he said to party of rulers and priests, it is one of the tricks of you the party of rulers and priests. Your conspiracy was mighty indeed! 29) He said, O Joseph, ignore their way of doing things and O party of rulers and priests, seek correction of the way you do things because you were indeed the ones who did things the wrong way. 30) However the word spread among communities of the township that party of ruling elite and priestly class under the governor of Egypt has conspired to change the way of doing things of its civil servant because the rest of the community has fallen madly in love with him the way he does things for it. In fact, we see it totally overcome by his love. Word SHAGHAF is from root SHEEN, GHAIN and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is the membrane enclosing the heart. Also affect, influence, the centre, the pericardium, to smite, to pierce, to infatuate, to be smitten with love, ardent love, passion, to penetrate the innermost part, to scrutinise, to cross examine, to enter into something, to get to the bottom of something, to penetrate deeply, to find out something through search, to investigate a matter, to look into something thoroughly, to rip open the cover to uncover something, top lift the cover from something, to crush or squeeze or press, to force out something from something, to pry etc etc. 31) At length when the embarrassing remarks became unbearable for party of ruling elite and priestly class, it invited them and prepared for them a banquet and gave each of them an opportunity to scrutinise his way of doing things. As they readied themselves for cross examination of his way of doing things, the party called on Joseph to come out to face them. When they examined him for his way of doing things, they were so amazed that they ended up shooting themselves in the foot so they exclaimed spontaneously, by goodness of Allah! He looks nothing like an ordinary person rather he looks like a highly ranked knowledgeable official of a noble descent. Word HAASH is from roots HAA, ALIF and SHEEN and HAA, WOW and SHEEN and HAA, SHEEN and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is disassociation or association of something from or with something for some reason. Also brink, shore, side, end, distant, excluded, included, to be free of something, refuge, shelter, enclosure, exception, unfamiliar, to avoid, to turn away from, to hold off, interjection with word Allah eg Allah forbid or Allah be my witness or O my Allah etc etc. 32) The party of ruling elite and priestly class said, this is he about whom you blamed me. No doubt I conspired to change him but he escaped my set-up trap for him. If he does not do things the way I say, he should be thrown into prison indeed to be disgraced. 33) Joseph said, O my Creator and Sustainer! I rather go to prison than do things the way they demand of me but unless You inspire me with some way out of their cunning trap for me I may end up trapped among them and forced to become of those who live not by Your guidance. Word SIJNU is from root SEEN, JEEM and NOON. Concrete meaning of this word is to restrict something in some way. Also to imprison, to restrict, to limit, the written text, record, record office, prison, a place wherein are kept written records, confinement, detention, containment, official seal or stamp, insignia, a distinguishing mark, a badge indicating honour or rank, an account of deeds etc etc. 34) That is how his Creator and Sustainer inspired him with proper response warding off their cunning trap from him and that is how He makes obvious for mankind that He is indeed comprehensive in observation of all things. 35) But even after all the evidence they had seen they still decided to send him to prison for a time. In a strange community of people Joseph is forced to change his way of life to be like them in doing things but he decides to take a stand. Here the Quran is telling mankind that only a human being who takes a stand against what people do as usual to hurt each other beings about a change. In other words only a brave person takes a stand for the well being of humanity and initiates a revolt or revolutionary change partially or as a whole. It is not something that can happen overnight but a start has to be made and once any such movement starts it takes on momentum of its own so as people become more and more aware of it they keep joining it and so comes about a change in an entire community. In fact masses only come out on the streets for two main reasons a)they are unhappy with their customs or traditions or laws or b)because they are not being served according to their customs, traditions and laws. In case of people being unhappy with services of their state administrations the fight is all about forcing people and institutions through public pressure to function properly according to law and deliver the goods and services to the public at large properly but in case of custom, tradition or law being unjust the fight is all about changing the way of life in a kingdom or state. This fight is as hard as the stance of people in position of power and the will of the people to fight off stance of rulers and their supporters. If people in power give-in to the demands of masses then there comes about a change for the better which also raises hope for any further change that may be needed in time to come but if rulers do not give-in then things remain as they are and get even worse as rulers take revengeful actions in reaction to this revolt. All revolutions that come about through struggles for power over each other end up in bloodshed but not those revolutions that are brought about on basis of education. Why do revolutions come about? They come about due to natural changes in the natural world that are not under human control eg people cannot stop people from being born and from growing up. This increases human population and people have needs and those needs need to be fulfilled or there is going to be trouble ahead. So people who are educated and forward thinking they know things by keeping an eye on the real world changes and plan ahead but ignorant fools only start thinking when nature confronts them and by that time it is too little and too late to overcome the problems therefore people start taking out their frustration on each other. This is how stupidity leads people to their own destruction by their own hands. The other reason for people ending up at each other’s throats is due to the way of life they adopt for themselves as a society ie if they are living by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other then time comes when poverty become unbearable for most of the people in a society and so they take out their frustration against those whom they see as responsible for their this situation eg rulers, mullahs, money lenders, their touts and supporters. This is because as explained already; rulers, priests and money lenders adopt such goals as are destructive for most of the people in the society therefore they also adopt such programs and they adopt such unjust and unfair laws to go with their goals and programs. So people who end up in painful suffering have no choice but to live as they can or fight for change for the better. This is result of how people try to use and abuse each other for their personal gains instead of adopting a way of life that ensures well being of all people in the community. This is why Allah sent revelations and messengers to guide people so that they educate each other and come together and establish a proper human community in a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. Allah has set goals and given people a program to accomplish those goals according to his provided guidelines. The power structure in this way of life is based upon guidance of Allah and people as a community who put an administration in place so that it serves all the people in the community by managing human population, land and resources as well as means of production and distribution properly. Though ultimate ruler in this power structure is Allah through his book but it is up to people as a proper human community to interpret the message of Allah in light of real world realities that face them. So it is not up to any particular person to rule anyone rather it is community that has to choose who is most fit to serve people according to the book of Allah. Such a person is then appointed by people as the chief administrator of the community by the community along with rest of people who are needed to serve community as administrators for heading various departments. However all administrators are still under the community and do not have any powers outside the ones given to them by the community according to the book of Allah for serving the proper human community. This is why anyone who is found to be unfit to serve the community is to be replaced without any delay and the same is to happen when a person oneself tells community that one is no longer fit to fulfil his obligations due to whatever problem one is facing. All this has been explained already about community set-up, organisation and regulation as well as monitoring and trial period etc etc. This is real democracy because it is people based where interest of community comes before any individual, institution and its administration. All individuals, institutions and the community come under the constitution because the constitution is supreme. In short that is how people are organised to self regulate themselves as institutions and individuals. Monitoring and correction units are put in place just to ensure everything is running smoothly so that goals are fulfilled or objectives are achieved. This is the difference between constitutions for running a proper human community which ensures well being of mankind and a human population wherein people use and abuse each other for petty personal gains. When a person tries to treat others well it rings alarm bells for any people who treat others as their slaves because soon people who are treated ill are going to gather into a massive movement as a group for bringing down those in positions of power. 36) Two young men also entered the prison with him. One day they discussed with each other their individual ambitions so one of them said, I had a dream that in time I will become source of knowledge for the people. The other said, I had a dream of taking on responsibility of livelihood for people in which partake people who prove to be excellent in this kind of work. Tell us how can we have such outcomes for our these ambitions, we ask you about it because we see that you are a man who directs others for benefiting each other. 37) Joseph replied, I will explain to you how you should go about fulfilling your dreams before you start working on them to get the outcomes you desire because this is part of the knowledge about making sense of things which my Creator and Sustainer has taught me. In fact, I have nothing to do with rule of people who do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to guidance of Allah because they deny mankind the right to fruit of their hard work. 38) So instead I follow the guidance of Allah and guide others to do the same just like my forefathers Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. It is not fitting that we take any sovereigns other than Allah. This is our missionary task set by Allah for us for the well being of mankind yet most of the people do not benefit from it. It is of vital importance that people understand words and concepts attached to them for proper understanding of deen. Failing that one cannot understand deen. For example, Arabic is a root based language and roots are a construct based upon a few letters working as one unit from which many words are derived for various grammatical reasons. If we trace Arabic back in time it comes from Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, Akkadian etc languages. Before people invented Arabic script alphabet used to be presented in pictorial form and those pictures represented certain concepts and since each letter had a meaningful concept attached to it when a few letters were put together the individual meanings of individual letters became an explanation and took an overall meaning and then derived meanings. For example, what we call ALIF was presented as a head of a bull and meant strength or BAA was presented as a tent and it meant house. Now one can see why word ABB means father ie because it is written by using letter ALIF and BAA. So a father figure is someone upon whom depends household or he is strength of the house or in-charge of the house. This is why roots have multiple derived meanings ie words have a history behind their formation. This is why people even today can decipher ancient inscriptions because they can go back in time how people might have used those words and what they meant to them. Just as there is a tree of life ie how life came about and evolved so there is a tree of languages ie how human languages came about and evolved with time. It is one thing to know meanings of a word but another to know why a word is given that meaning. Unless one knows the reasons behind any meanings given to any word it is not possible to see the depth and width involved in the expression. Take root SHEEN, KAAF and RAA of word YASHKUROON. The meaning attached to this root is thanks ie a word we use when someone does something for us that we need or want. The question is, what is the basic concept behind this meaning? God provided us humans with all we will ever need or want, he also provided us with guidance. When the Quran tells us to be grateful what does it actually mean? It means appreciate things by using gifts of God ie grow, prosper, develop by using what you are given as told. This cannot happen if we say thanks by word but no thanks by deed. God has given us everything and we by word say thanks God but we at the same time say no thanks to God because we do not use what he has given us appropriately to benefit from it as we are supposed to. This idea of thanking God therefore proves totally absurd and meaningless. We seek help of others and others seek help from us, the question is, do we understand what is going on in this process? When someone asks us for help, it means one has some need that one wants fulfilled. What happens when a need is not fulfilled? The person fails to grow or develop because one has become stuck. By helping such a person we are actually helping him to start growing again or become unstuck or free against and start moving. Now imagine that one asks for our help but when we help him he abuses our help by misusing it, will you help that person again when you know what he has done already? This time even if you help again you will ensure one does not abuse your help again. If you do not then you are not a good helper either because you are not helping the right person properly so you are not fulfilling your responsibility either. You are abusing your capacity of helping someone who does not appreciate your help. So your help is wasted and you let it go to waste. On the other hand you could have helped the right person who could have appreciated your help. This is important point because our ability to help is gifted and we are not allowed to misuse it. It is like you are part of a government and people have put you there to manage their funds and affairs and you just do as you like instead of using what you are given as told by the government. The result of misuse is that things depreciate in value instead of appreciation ie instead of growing they shrink. If this use and abuse of things continues imagine the end result. This is why we need to learn more than just simple meanings of words to really understand the message of the Quran. Actions speak louder than words and just saying thanks God is meaningless if you are abusing his gifts in reality by your actions. Appropriate use of things is proper thanks because it adds to value and helps growth and improper use of things is no thanks because it causes devaluation and depreciation and depression. This is how due to ignorance of deen the ummah is strangling itself out of existence or driving itself into painful suffering. It shows foolishness of people who tell us useless things as deen as well as foolishness of ourselves because we follow such people who have turned our deen into a meaningless thing. This is why we must come back to the Quran and learn how to understand it properly so that we become aware of what our deen really is. 39) O my fellow inmates! Tell me, what is better, many different rulers or just one sovereign, Allah, the one capable of handling all affairs? 40) Those whom you take as rulers other than Him are nothing but mere name sake rulers which you and your forefathers have put in place on basis of baseless ideas through make beliefs for which Allah has revealed no authority whatsoever. Surely sovereignty belongs to none but Allah Who has ordained that you take none as ruler save Him. That is the way of doing things which is properly balanced yet most of the people do not learn to understand it. Word TABUDOON is from root AIN, BAA and DAAL. It has been explained already but let us see how language came about, evolved and works using this root for explanation to help us understand things a bit better. As explained already that words in Arabic language come from roots not other words. Roots are made of a single alphabet letter or a few of them joined together as in word ABD ie AIN, BAA and DAAL. The question is what is origin of roots? Roots were invented from words used for concrete realities as explained already. These words were originally written in form of pictures. Since Arabic comes from other languages eg Syriac, Aramaic, Hebrew or Akkadian etc so the letters in Arabic alphabet are representations of those pictures. For example, letter AIN used to be written in form of a picture and that picture was of an eye. Letter BAA was written in form of a picture and that picture was of a tent and likewise letter DAAL was written in form of a picture and that picture was of a door. However when these three letters are brought together to be a root it brings with it all the concepts and therefore meaning possible for these letters. If letter AIN is an eye than it describes what eye is and what it does or is used for therefore all such meanings are possible for letter AIN that have something to do with eye and its working. Since eye is used for seeing things therefore its meanings include concepts like guarding something or keeping an eye on something. Likewise since eye cries and tear run down hence the same letter also means water spring. Letter BAA is shown as a tent or house and in Hebrew it is called BEIT which means house in Hebrew but with a little bit thought one can see from Arabic that BEIT is called BAIT which is a house therefore what a house is and what it is used for all such meanings can be derived from this letter. The case is very same for letter DAAL ie it is called DAALETH in Hebrew which mean door. Since we know what door is and what purpose it serves a lot of meanings can be derived from it. Just as a house is a place or an idea that is used as a shelter for protection against all kinds of dangers from which a shelter can protect so a door is something that is a way or mean to something so it has many concepts and meanings attached to it. Just as all these letters have individual meanings so when they are used together as a root, the root contains all these possible meanings in it which each individual letter has on its own. The rest is decided by the context in which these roots are used for words that are derived from them. For example, a word could be a subject in a sentence or an object or a verb eg AABID, MABOOD or IBAADAH. Likewise the context in case of the Quran is that each word is used either by Allah or by a human. Also a word is used in context of DEEN or MAZHAB by Allah or by a human being. Moreover a person could be a follower of the Quran or its opponent. All these like points made clear here and elsewhere in this Quranic explanation will be found very helpful by people who wish to know the Quran better. Just as the explained letters have meanings so do other letters eg ALIF=head of a bull, BAA= a house, TAA=womb, JEEM=camel, DAAL=door, round HAA=window, HAA=fence, WOW=hook, ZAA=sword, KAAF=palm of hand, YAA=whole hand, LAAM=ox-gaud, MEEM=water, NOON=fish, SWAAD=snake, AIN=eye, FAA=mouth, THAA=fishhook, QAAF=eye of the needle, RAA=head, SHEEN=tooth, TWAA=mark etc etc. Just as letters are meaningful words they were also assigned alphanumerical values for purpose of calculations eg ALIF=1 and BAA=2 and so on. In those times there were no separate figures or symbols for numbers as we have them today. Most shapes of letter were used for more than one letter and were distinguished by dots and diacritical marks eg look at Arabic letters BAA, TAA and THAA or JEEM, HAA and KHAA etc. Not only that but even for same letter different pictorial presentations were used that meant to stand for same concept or meaning but emphasised a particular aspect. All this seems a very complex and complicated stuff but not if one learns it. Anything is difficult due to ignorance but easy once a person has gone through experimentation or training. It is these meanings of letters that can help discover true meanings of letter in the beginning of some of the Quranic surahs eg ALIF, LAAM and MEEM in surah 2 verse1. Same can be said about word ALLAH ie ALIF, LAAM, LAAM and HA. Letter ALIF means head of a bull that indicates authority or power or force or strength etc. Letter LAAM means ox-goad, something a person uses to drive something with towards something eg one drives a heard of cattle with a stick or staff or like a sheppard keeps a flock of sheep under his control. Letter MEEM means water, something that quenches thirst or fulfils a need just as without knowledge a person feels useless and empty because one cannot do anything to fulfil one’s needs. Word Allah also can be interpreted this way even though it is used as a proper noun in the Quran for an ever existing being who created all and revealed his message in form of books like the Quran through messengers like Muhammad. In the Quranic context it is not right to translate word Allah as God because word God is about kind of being Allah is. It is ok to use word God for word ILAAH. Allah is only one of his kind according to the Quran ie there is nothing else that is ever existing or with similar ever existing attributes and nothing else can act like God because nothing else has abilities or powers to act like God. This is why deen of Islam is about oneness of God and oneness or unity of mankind. Allah is all alone as a being because there is nothing is like unto him in existence, attributes and actions. In Arabic language a particle of speech is used as an interjection to draw attention of something by calling upon it or express desire or a longing. It is YAA and it means O or OH eg YAA ALLAH=O God. The rule according to text of the Quran is that when anyone is called upon using particle YAA there is no incidence where a noun has been identified as AL=the. It is always YAA MOOSA=O Moses. In other words when something is called upon specifically or in particular then no further identification is needed or used by use of article the. It is because the name identifies the object of attention and then yaa simply draws his attention to caller or the caller draw attention of other to the called. Since Muslims always used words YAA ALLAH or YAA ILAAH and never YAA AL-ILAAH therefore it is proof that Allah is proper noun for God and does not come from AL-ILAAH. It does not mean moon God either because the Quran does not allow creatures to be called Gods and gives reason that these are created by God. So a created being is not a God and it cannot be a God so it should not be called a God or taken for a God. In deen of Islam, not only calling anyone else a God is SHIRK=polytheism but even to attribute any attribute or act like that of Allah is also taken as accepting another God beside Allah. This is why mankind must live by way of life advised by Allah or by living their lives any other way they are committing act of shirk ie treason. It is like one is living in a kingdom under a king and one does not accept authority of the king. Allah is king of his universe and all that exists in it therefore anyone who does not take is set goals and guidelines seriously is committing treason because it is like creating a state within a state. This is why people who do not learn way of life advised by Allah or do not live by it are called KUFAAR or KAAFIROON ie the rejecters and the opponents of deen of Allah. It is a very serious offence in the sight of Allah and it also has serious implications and consequences for mankind. It is because without the base of deen of Islam there is no way people could become a proper human community or family. This is why Islam is a DEEN and not a MAZHAB. Verses like this one expose the lies of rulers, priests, money lenders, their touts and supporters who derive their authorities in the name of God through each other. In this situation rulers have no authority to appoint any priests or hand over community wealth to anyone as his personal property in the name of God and likewise priests have no authority to put rulers in place for community in the name of God. It is all a mechanism set up by such people working together to make fool of masses to deprive them of their God given rights to all that exists. It is due to this mechanism priests fool masses by instilling in their minds ideas of sins and forgiveness and their power of intervention in affairs of God as intercessors and atonement through sacrifice and donations as charity etc etc. This is why masses inflict more harm on each other because they have the idea in their heads that in the end God will forgive them whatever their sins may be. This is why people do such evil thinking it is good which priests instil in their heads which is in fact doctored indoctrination to make people do things they want them to do in the name of God and this is how rulers, mullahs and money lenders use and abuse masses. This like verses explain to people that whatever goals and guidelines their rulers, priests and money lenders have set for themselves to abide by are their own creation for their own ends to use and abuse weaker members of human community and Allah has sent them not nor approved them instead Allah has revealed opposite goals and guidelines for people to abide by for ensuring their own well being. 41) As to your dreams O my inmates! Each of you will be released soon from the prison and one of you will serve wine of knowledge to your king and the other will be placed firmly on state affairs of which people will have their provisions. That is how your ambitions will become realities regarding which you asked for directions. 42) Then to the one who he thought will be elevated to the position of advisor to his king out of both of them said, do let your king know about my case. But the opponent of guidance of Allah made him forget to mention the case of Joseph to his king, so he remained in the prison a few more years. 43) Then one day the king of Egypt said to his counsel, I see a number of big splits in my people in which are involved many weak members of our society but I also see a number of long periods of stability and prosperity as well as number of periods of instability and exploitation and hardship. O chiefs! Explain to me how can I reach my desired outcome if you can analyse the situation and the circumstances and plan ahead in order to guide me. 44) They replied, these are testing situations and we are not skilled in dealing with situations like this. Word ADGHAAS is from root DWAAD, GHAIN and SAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to put different things together in such a way that they become entangled. Also medleys of dreads, random thoughts, mixture of ideas, to take a handful of something as sample to estimate the whole, by looking at a sample of something judge the whole, depression, worrisome situation or circumstances, nightmare, a quantity of anything that a person has in his grip, a bunch of flowers that person can hold in his hand, vase, limited means or capacity, bundle, unravelling of hair, a camel suspected to be suffering from an afflicted hump, confusion, mixture, hallucination, handful of plant stalks, incoherent mix etc etc. Word AHLAAM is from root HAA, LAAM and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is stability due to consistency and balance. Also dream, vision, thought, to have wet dreams, to attain puberty, to gain wisdom, to be patient, clemency, a sensible person, nipple, a young goat, rationality, sensibility, intelligence, reason, mind, forbearing, prudent, a person not disturbed or angered by small things, courageous, a person capable of planning ahead, sincere, a person who keeps oneself under control even when angry, a person who does not jump into things without thinking about the consequences, a beast of burden when it becomes capable for being used for carrying loads, a healthy and strong person both physically and mentally, a person who always works according to rules and regulations, soft, tender hearted, kind or compassionate when dealing with others etc etc. 45) Thereupon one of the two released prisoners remembered after a long time and spoke up, I will tell you how to handle this situation just send me to Joseph. 46) So he came and said, O Joseph my truly well wishing friend! Explain to us how to handle the situation wherein are involved a number of big splits in people in which are involved many weak members of society and also wherein are possible a number of long periods of stability and prosperity as well as number of periods of instability and exploitation and hardship, so that I return to the people who sent me and let them know the solution to their problems. Egypt originally was ok but due to changes in Egypt rivalry based system became adopted so people became divided and as gap between rich and poor grew therefore a time was reached when people became uneasy and troubled to such degree that the king became alarmed so he put the problem he saw before his council seeking their advice and opinions. They failed to advise him properly but the while they discussed this matter one of the council members remembered Joseph due to his ability of solving problems. So he asked to be sent to Joseph to ask for his advice in this situation. 47) He replied, you should actively cultivate good relations among all people in the land for a number of years till it becomes a normal way of life then whatever good relationship you manage to develop maintain it in its good state though you will participate in this program just a little. 48) However your failure to reach the target after this advice could bring upon you a number of years of hardship and troubles that will render useless whatever steps you would have taken already save a little which you may have specifically paid attention to. 49) But if you managed to repair and maintain your society after that will come a period of abundant prosperity during which the people will benefit greatly. 50) However instead of following the program as told by Joseph the king said, bring this man to me. When the messenger came Joseph said to him, go back to your king and ask him about the case of those communities that lost their case due to loss of their ability to produce worthy argument. Indeed my Creator and Sustainer has exposed their plot for people to see for what it was. 51) The king called them in to his court and questioned them saying, what do you say about the incident when you attempted to wrong foot Joseph? They replied, Allah forbid! We know of no harmful motive on his part against our community. The party of ruling elite and priestly class that was under governor of Egypt said, now that the truth has come to light, it was I who attempted to wrong foot him against his way of doing things. The fact is, he is absolutely trustable. 52) Joseph said, by this inquiry I meant to let the governor of Egypt know that I did not betray him in his absence regarding the responsibility he assigned to me and that Allah does not let the plots of the treacherous succeed for long. 53) This I did, not because I am free of human needs and desires but to prove that human needs and desires prompt one to do harm to others even for petty personal gain unless one follows program of my Creator and Sustainer for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and that is how program of my Lord protects humanity against harm and destruction. The values according to which Joseph worked in Egypt were attacked by priests of Egypt because he wanted to treat people as human beings but the way of life in Egypt was based upon master slave relationship between people. This is what now forced Egyptians to leave and join the way of doing things Joseph told them about right from the start. This shows how people do not see sense in perfectly sensible explanations till they fall in trouble and then learn things the hard way but even that is not the case for people like Pharaoh in time of Moses. These people were very fortunate that they saw troubles and straight away looked for their solutions and accepted the changes needed for their better future. 54) The king said, bring him to me so that I appoint him to assist me in taking care of affairs of the kingdom. When Joseph was brought to the king and they had mutual talk the king said, from now on you have an honourable place among us and you will enjoy our full confidence. 55) Seeing the situation that kingdom was going to be destroyed through disintegration by civil wars if right steps were not taken Joseph requested the king, let me deal with the people and resources of the land. Certainly I know how to manage people and resources to avoid what is otherwise inevitable and rest assured I have all the knowledge needed for the task ahead. This verse shows that capable people must put themselves forward for community work for whatever work they are good at or are capable of so that they could contribute and the community could benefit from their contributions. If a people have community spirit then they fight off any disaster no matter how bad it is. It gives people motivation and courage to appreciate each other’s works and contributions. On the other hand using and abusing each other disheartens people about each and all use and abuse each other and no one care what happens to any other person. The harmful and destructive mindset, attitude and behaviour has no advantage for humanity other than short lived personal gain. This becomes a problem for living one’s life because a human goes through various stages in one’s life that put one in an advantageous position in one respect at one time with another person but at the same time or at another time it puts one at a disadvantaged position with the same person or another person. So if one takes advantage of one person another takes advantage of him so pressure is on from both sides at both the times which makes life a misery due to being full of unnecessary worries and anxiety and at times regrets. In a human population with community spirit there is no pressure because there is no danger present from each other. All people have to worry about is how can they do more and more for the betterment of each other as a community. This is how way of life advised by Allah takes people out unnecessary troubles and hardships. 56) Thus We established Joseph in the land to live therein in any way he wished within Our set limits. We bestow understanding of Our program for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind upon whoever works for it because We do not let the outcome of the people who work hard for well being of each other go to waste. 57) So reward is even greater in future for those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind because they remain consistent with Our program, constitution and law for the well being of mankind. 58) That is how there came to see Joseph his brethren and as they came in his presence he recognized them but they failed in recognizing him. In time as Joseph became famous as a helpful person his community fellows also heard about his reputation so they came to see him just to see if they can get something out of him. When people do not live by advice of God then they fail to see problems they need to take care of and themselves become serious problem for each other through rivalries and animosities. This increases problems due to natural disasters many folds. It is like one is already drowning and others are throwing stones at him instead of putting their effort into saving him. This is why humanity fails to make progress at the speed it ought to. When people waste their efforts on fighting each other they fail to pay attention to matters that really matter for their survival. They fail to farm on time or destroy crop through fighting each other so hunger strikes. Mankind need to spend more and more time on monitoring and planning in advance for taking care of all their needs and then work on those plans to be ready for all eventualities well in time. This is why people need to stick to education that gives them a community worth the name and then concentrate on other things that need to be done. If rain does not happen it should matter not because there is plenty of water here on the surface of the earth which humanity should take advantage of. This cannot be done unless people observe natural phenomena and see how things happen in nature and then try doing them. The more people become capable of doing this the more independent of nature mankind can become. After all why or how we invented things so far and why don’t people do the same more and more so that human problems could be solved instead of investing in wars with each other and trying to waste human power and resource? It is time that humanity came together and coordinated its efforts and complemented each other in planning and doing things so that past mistakes do not continue and new mistakes could be prevented as much as it is humanly possible. This is the major lesson in this story ie how people managed to avert crisis by working together according to divine plan. 59) At length when he had equipped them with whatever they needed he said to them, come again to me with other bother of yours with approval of father of your nation. Do you not find me fulfilling needs of people properly and I deal with people in a dignified way? 60) However if you do not come to me with your other brother then you will not have my personal assistance because you will not have my personal attention. 61) They replied, we will certainly try our best to get him from his father. This we will surely try. 62) So Joseph told his officials to load their things they brought for trading back into their loads in such a way that they should come to know about it only when they reach back to their people so that they could come again. 63) When they returned to father of their nation they said, Father! Assistance as of now is denied to us unless we take with us our brother therefore send our brother with us so that we may get our measure, we will take full responsibility for his safety and security. 64) He said, should I trust you for his security as I once trusted you for security of his brother? However laws of Allah are unique when it comes to security of mankind because He is provider of the program with all the necessities that can ensure unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity. 65) However in time when they opened their baggage they discovered that their stuff for trading had been returned to them. Father! They said, what more do we need? Here is our stuff for trading given back to us. This means we can get more things of need for our people and we will take good care of our brother if you let him go with us because we can get an extra caravan load of things. 66) The father of their community replied, I will never send him with you unless you enter in an agreement with me according to law of Allah under oath that you will surely bring him back to me unless you are overcome by some other unforeseen situation rendering you helpless. After they had entered agreement under oath he said, law of Allah is our basis for this agreement you entered. The purpose of swearing under oath in Islam is to hold the person under legal obligation according to law of Allah. This means if the person making a pledge under oath deliberately fails in his duty then he is to be punished for doing so. It is as if one has lied under oath in the court of law. The other point to be noticed here is the way agreement is made ie people are exempt from responsibility if something happens to them which is beyond their capacity to handle and this exemption is brought in by the very person who wants the agreement of them. The person dictating the terms is ensuring that the other party is not under undue pressure due to this obligation. It shows how fair minded people think ie instead of taking advantage of the other party they ensure that they are not taken undue advantage of. The question is, what happens if you force upon people things that are beyond their capacity? They will not be able to fulfil such obligations and will be forced to do wrong things including making false pledges which they will mean not to carry out and this means both the parties will end up losers as a community. 67) Moreover he advised them saying, O my children! Do not drive yourselves into isolation and obscurity by following a path blindly instead explore different ways to be part of wider human community and remember that I cannot tell you anything against the set-up systems and laws of Allah because none has the right to set-up systems and laws other than Allah. Upon His set-up systems and laws I rely and upon His set-up systems and laws should rely all those who wish to rely upon something dependable that never fails including yourselves. Here father of nation advises his people to be people with wisdom who are able not only to know the truth themselves but help others to find out truth for themselves because that is the only way people can find a solid common ground or foundation to be a community or build one on that foundation. 68) So when they made the entry as their father of community had advised them soon it became clear to them that nothing can benefit anyone against the set-up systems and laws of Allah, nonetheless it was community responsibility that Jacob addressed. After all he possessed the knowledge which We had given him even though most of the people do not bother to learn to be sensible. 69) When they entered upon Joseph, he called his brother to himself and said, it is I your brother Joseph, so grieve not at what they have been doing to us and our people. 70) At length when Joseph had finished arranging the load of their provisions, he informed his brother about journey of his own life. Later on when they were on the way back home a crier called out to them saying, O people of the caravan! You may have taken something without our permission. Word JAHAAZ is from root JEEM, HAA and ZAA. Concrete meaning of this root is things that are needed for a journey or for which a journey is undertaken. Also luggage, travel gear, things of need, load, stuff, equipment, gear, tools, rig, to fit out, to prepare, to equip, to make ready, to finish off, to be quick and light-footed, to equip with necessary gear or tools, to rig up, to provide with necessary provisions, supplies, the load that is loaded on a beast of burden, load on the camel or donkey, things bought or obtained etc etc. Word SIQAAYAH is from root SEEN, QAAF and YAA which has been explained already but it also means to give a drink, to water land or animals or plants, to make drink, to give a party, to teach knowledge to help quench thirst for knowledge, to fulfil need of knowledge of a people, to serve drink, to irrigate, to perform a daily act or task, to provide with drink or knowledge, to seek source for drinking or to seek or look for water or knowledge, to deliver a lecture, to explain things, to discuss or debate things, to inform someone about things, drinking cup or goblet etc etc. Word RAHL is from root RAA, HAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to be on the move. Also to be on the journey, sack, bag, camel litter, saddle, something to base something upon, foundation, honour, death, to die, to be on journey to next life, to move or shift from one place to another, to shift from one state of existence to another, a structure for placing the Quran or a book upon for reading, a journey, a story, a story about journey of one’s life, anything like a saddle that is put on the camel to help one sit on the camel for travelling or to load on the camel stuff, camel, the place or idea from which one travels to another place or idea, to change mind or place, a distance that one travels in one day, to travel, to set out to do something, to go away, travel gear or bags, saddle-bag, to take as a mount, a strong traveller, luggage, journey, pack, trip, tour etc etc. 71) They turned round and asked, what is it that you find missing? 72) The officials said, we have lost the vessel of the management with which we measure things and the one who finds it and brings it back will be awarded a camel-load of provision, I guarantee it. 73) Joseph’s brethren said, by Allah! You should know by our behaviour during our stay here that we did not come here to cause any trouble in your land and we are not a people who take things belonging to others without their permission. 74) The official said, what should be the outcome for the person who has taken something belonging to others if you prove to be wrong? 75) They replied, the outcome for him in whose stuff you find the measuring vessel of the kingdom will be that he should compensate you for what he did to you, that is how we punish those who do wrong. These verses tell about mindset, attitude and behaviour of people who are quick in claiming their innocence and putting blame on others when anything goes wrong instead of holding back and waiting for the outcome of an inquiry as to what actually has happened. Here the officials loose the state vessel for measuring things and they think that these people whom they served last the management may have left that vessel by mistake in their luggage so they follow them and ask them if that vessel is in their stuff. The vessel could not be checked unless luggage was opened and searched. Instead of letting them get on with search they say we are not thieves ie they try to hinder search as if they did steal the vessel. After the vessel is found and they are proven wrong they take no time and straightaway accuse their community brother for deliberately stealing the vessel. Not only that but they also accuse his brother as well for stealing for no reason at all. This steeling they may be referring to is about leadership of the community about which they became jealous and decided to get Joseph out of their way. In that case it is they who tried to steal his rightful place in the community. It shows how foolish these people were and yet these people wanted to become leaders of their community. They had no sense of self respect and dignity of their own community. Seeing this situation Joseph decides not to send his brother back home with them just in case they do something to him as they already had done what they did to Joseph himself. He tells them I am holding him back as a result of you people being proven wrong about vessel not being in your stuff. Since you proved wrong so I am holding your brother back. Now they start moaning about problems they have back home in their own community. This forces Joseph to disclose himself and let them know who he is so that they learn some lesson from all this. Seeing their mindset, attitude and behaviour he decides to move all of his community to where he himself is because otherwise there was no more leadership in that community to take it forward seeing the mindset, attitude and behaviour of his fellow member of the community. 76) Thereafter Joseph first began to search the packs of others before the pack of his brother. Finally he took the vessel out of his brother’s package. Thus We let Joseph plan to teach his brethren a lesson, for He could not hold back his brother under the law of the kingdom but Allah fulfils His plan always. We exalt in ranks of dignity whoever works according to Our set-up systems and laws because above all the learned is the One Who makes all the information obvious for them to learn from. Because community brothers of Joseph exposed themselves, Joseph was able to save his brother from them and was also able to plan next move for the whole of his community. In this verse Allah also tells mankind how he has set-up things that people have lots of things to observe and learn from to help themselves develop and progress. The physical search of luggage is less about catching a thief but more about making a people realise their mistakes ie the harms and destructions they inflicted upon each other as a community. It is an exercise to search their minds to turn them into proper human beings. It is like extracting information from them using some external pressure to make them realise what they have done and how harmful and destructive it was for humanity. 77) After accusation of theft the brethren of Joseph remarked, this is no surprise if he has committed a theft because his brother also committed a theft before him. Despite hearing this Joseph suppressed his feelings and did not reveal anything to them but said to himself, what a terrible situation you people are putting yourselves in and Allah will make obvious the truth about that concerning which you accuse me. They accuse Joseph for stealing their right to be community leaders but by the mindset, attitude and behaviour they are showing they are in fact exposing their own weaknesses as human beings therefore unfit for becoming leaders. On the contrary Joseph created a place for himself in the new community that he became a member of, which is a clear proof that he was capable of leading any community unlike these jealous people who conspired against him and stole his rightful place in that community and as a result the community ended up in serious troubles. 78) They said, O noble person in authority! The father of the accused is a great leader of the nation who may not take this lightly, so take one of us instead of him. We surely see that you are of those who do things to make life beautiful for others through fulfilling their needs. 79) Joseph replied, I seek protection through guidance of Allah therefore far from me be that we seize other than the one with whom we found our property or we will be unjust indeed. 80) When they lost their hope of moving Joseph, they went aside to confer in private. The leading one among them said to rest, you know that your father had taken a solemn pledge in the name of Allah and you also know how you fell short of your duty to Allah with respect to Joseph therefore I am not going to leave this land until the father of our nation permits me or Allah decides for me the matter some other way because He is the only one who is rightful ruler of all those who claim to be the rulers. 81) So go back to father of your nation without me and say, father, your son has committed theft. We did not see him stealing but we can testify only to what we know. How could we guard against this unforeseen situation? 82) You may enquire from the people of the city where we stayed and the caravan in which we travelled that we are surely telling the truth. 83) When Jacob is told this he said, no! You yourselves have contrived a story once more. However I will remain steadfastly persistent in pursuing this case. May be thereby Allah will bring them all back to me because He makes His wisdom known to mankind through His rule. 84) He turned his face away from them crying, Alas for Joseph! His eyes became filled with tears of grief and he became overwhelmed by sorrow. 85) They said, by Allah! you will not cease to remember Joseph until you ruin your health or kill yourself through this grief. Word HARADAA is from root HAA, RAA and DWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is to become harmed by something in some way. Also to ruin, to be ruined, to become weak, defective, faulty, to become mental, to become physically unfit, to become tired of something, to be at the brink of becoming ruined, to become ill, to become totally useless or worthless, to have no value, to depreciate, to become depressed, a person suffering from a serious mental or physical injury, to encourage someone to do something that rejuvenates one, to make someone do something that makes one stand on his feet but if one fails to do it then one could become ruined, base person, corruption, to corrupt, to perish, to be in danger of death, to degenerate mentally or physically, to urge, to spur, to encourage, to rouse, to exhort, emaciated, foolish person etc etc. 86) He said, I complain of my distress and grief according to set-up systems and laws of Allah because I know from Allah what you do not understand yet. Word ASHKOO is from roots SHEEN, KAAF and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a skin bag used for carrying water that opens only at one end. Also to let all out, to say whatever is in one’s mind, to poor out all the content in a container to empty it, to bring out worry or concern, to complain, lamp, a cavity in a wall for placing of lamp, to share information about one’s situation or circumstances, to expose oneself before others, lamp holder, to grieve, to show or reveal one’s grief, to submit a complain, to launch a complain, to complain vigorously etc etc. Word BASSI is from root BAA, SAA and SAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to reveal something that bothers one to someone. Also to spread, to disseminate, to cause to multiply, to disclose sorrow or worry or illness, to disperse, to scatter, to generate, spread out, to publicise, to let others know, to draw attention of others to oneself, to invent something, to let know something to others that is not known already to them, to make obvious, scattered moth, the dust particle that are spread by wind, to spread things in great numbers etc etc. Word HUZNEE is from root HAA, ZAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is anxiety or worry or regret that causes distress or rage or depression. Also a sense of being trapped or cornered, having sense of being incomplete or defective or weak or broken or useless, feeling isolated or neglected or ignored or unwanted, a feeling of pain due to lack of things of need, distraction, confusion, anguish, feeling oppressed or suppressed, a feeling of helplessness, a feeling of lack of support or love, the worry about daily bread, barren land, hardship, difficulty, feeling threatened, feeling oneself in danger, rocks, boulders, sadness, sorrow, rocky hard going terrain, to cause hardship, to distress, to become sad, to grieve, responsibility, to cause unrest, to feel disturbed, to become agitated etc etc. Mankind need to become aware of the fact that whatever happens outside in the real world affects inside of people and whatever is in the minds of people it affects outside world when they act it out. So world can only become beautiful if people try to interact with each other in a way that makes world beautiful therefore any participation in the world by people that makes world ugly should be avoided by each and every person. People should not feel happy by undermining each other but by ensuring well being of each other. 87) O my children! Go and search for Joseph and his brother and never give up hope in blissful, dignifying and secure life providing guidance of Allah. In fact none give up hope in guidance of Allah save people who reject and oppose His guidance. Word TAHASSASOO is from root HAA, SEEN and SEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is a hissing sound. Also faint noise, whispering sound, concealed gentle sound, a feeling, to search out, to seek information, to look for, to inquire about something, to perceive something through the senses, to find out, to probe, to spy, to kill, to rout, to strike hard, movement, to remove the dust, to slay, to eradicate, to eliminate, to destroy, to become conscious of, to become aware of, to see, to gather intelligence about, to collect information discreetly about, churning sound, murmur etc etc. 88) So when they return to Egypt and entered the office of Joseph they said, O honourable manager of the kingdom! We and our people are in terrible distress due to lack of things of need because we are running out of anything of value so please give us as much as at least fulfils our needs and thereby prove your commitment to well being of mankind true to us. Surely Allah fulfils those who prove their commitment to well being of mankind true. This verse shows mankind that if they do not commit themselves to way of life advised by Allah in deeds as a proper human community then this is the situation in which people end up as a result. All because some people want to live by a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of others. As such a way leads to divisions and rivalries and animosities therefore people fail to develop and progress as they ought to if they learned to live as a proper human family. Such people have no other way to survive but to pick up the begging bowl and go round seeking help of others. Such help is not there unless a people with proper mindset, attitude and behaviour are there. Helpful people are the ones whom these people wanted to destroy to begin with but instead end up destroying themselves. This is how the Quran explains why people must live the way they are told and not the way they think because life based upon personal gains is short lived and is full of unnecessary worries as has been explained already. 89) Hearing this he said, do you know what you did to Joseph and his brother when you acted out of ignorance? This is how people who kill or banish people from their populations who are capable of helping them develop and progress end up destroying themselves. This fault is not only of rulers, mullahs and money lenders but also of masses who rather live in bliss of ignorance till it is too late. It is because the first people who end up in terrible painful suffering are masses not leaders. This is why it is masses whose awareness and alertness is of vital importance and not just of their leaders. Only if people have sense they can steer their leadership in the right direction and vice versa. 90) In surprise they cried, what! Are you really Joseph? He said, Yes! I am Joseph and this is my brother. Allah surely has gifted us. In fact he who is constantly consistent with set-up systems and laws of Allah for the well being of humanity Allah does not let the outcome of works of such people who try to make their world beautiful for mankind go to waste. 91) They said, by Allah! Surely we can now see the evidence as to why Allah has chosen you as a messenger instead of us. We have indeed been guilty of side stepping His guidance. 92) Joseph said, there is no penalty for you to suffer today for your past harmful and destructive works and guidance of Allah will protect you if you will live by it in future, for He is the only one whose blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program can deliver His sustenance properly for mankind. Word TASREEB is from root SAA, RAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is condemnation. Also blame, penalty, to fold up a cloth, to end the feud, to wrap up the matter, to conclude, to seek no revenge, to not to rebuke, not to seek compensation, forgive, to remove fat from the veins, to blame, to seek revenge, to seek redress to some matter, to remind about wrong doing, city, thin layer of fat over the stomach, fingers, to point out faults, to abuse, to reproach, to upbraid, reproof etc etc. 93) Go take the news of my khilaafah and place it before my father, he will rediscover his happy sight. Thereafter come back to me with all the members of your community. This verse tells us Jacob moved to Egypt along with all his people on request of Joseph. 94) When the caravan started from Egypt the father of their nation in Canaan said, Certainly I feel the presence of Joseph even though you the people around me may think I am out of my mind. 95) They said, by Allah! You are still suffering from your old delusion. 96) However when the bearer of the good news arrived, he put the news of his khilaafah before him so he regained his happy sight and he said, did I not tell you that I know due to understanding of set-up systems and laws of Allah what you people do not learn to understand? 97) They said, O our father! Bring about harm and destruction free community for our protection and better future because we have inflicted harm and destruction upon each other in the past and that is why we suffered painfully due to that. 98) He replied, soon I will bring about a harm and destruction free community for you as advised by my Creator and Sustainer, surely He protects mankind through His program for their blissful, dignified and secure existence. 99) After a while when they came to Joseph he asked leaders and supporters of his community to become his protectorates and said, now that you have come to Egypt if program of Allah is implemented fully and remains enforced then you will find yourselves at peace and in secure existence in here and will progress and prosper. But all this changed after death of Joseph because children of Israel became slack and fell away from the way of life that was advised by Allah through Joseph and before him through Jacob and so on. Had people remained steadfast when Jacob became old and did not throw out Joseph they will have become leading people but instead they chose a different way of life and ended up the way they did. When Jacob died he asked them to promise that they will never change their way of life after him but they did. So people who came to deen of Islam after they became blessed in every way they just became far too much involved in all sorts of blessings and left the study of the scriptures alone so they failed to raise new generations that could keep themselves blessed with blissful, dignified and secure existence. This is why knowing foundation and the building built upon is very important to see whether it is consistent or not and whether it can ensure bright future or not and if everything is found in order then to ensure its proper maintenance. Negligence at any point in time can prove fatal for a people. This is how nations rise, stay in proper state of existence or fall. A clear proof that to raise future generations properly is absolutely necessary for mankind. 100) That is how he raised the management and the managed of his community to heights of blissful, dignified and secure existence because they all accepted his proposal and acted upon it faithfully so he said, O father of my nation, this is the fulfilment of my vision that I had long ago, because my following of program of my Creator and Sustainer has turned it into a reality. It was beauty of His guidance indeed as planned by Him that He brought me out of prison to put me to work whereby He brought you all here from the unproductive socioeconomic political and economic landscape even though the rivals had stirred up strife between me and my community brethren. For sure my Creator and Sustainer fulfils His plan through ways and means beyond control of humanity due to lack of its awareness. Surely He is maker of His wisdom obvious for mankind to learn from to make proper sense of things and manage them wisely. This verse should leave one in no doubt that this universe is set-up by Allah to work in a particular way for fulfilling purpose of its creator and sustainer and only those people or nations can rise and remain in blissful, dignified and secure existence that make proper sense of his guidance and follow it faithfully. In other words thinking and doing things the wrong way does not produce good results other than as by products as already explained in detail. The universe is set-up in such a way that good works definitely produce good results with bad by products but even bad works end up producing good results as by products and that is the reason no matter whatever people do it moves the world forward in a better direction. In short if people live by a way of life that is advised by Allah, it is bound to produce good end results but even if they live by any other way of life, they still end up going in the right direction due to conflicts between people which force them to find a better position with respect each other even though these are only minor steps in the right direction. 101) O Creator and Sustainer of mine! You have indeed given a piece of land under my management and taught me all the knowhow about all the affairs of the kingdom. The originator of the heavens and the earth Your program has been my protector from the very beginning of my life and it will remain my protector to the very end of my life, so fulfil me completely so long as I truly remain committed to your set-up systems and laws thereby keep me as a part of those who try their best to put things right for mankind and maintain them. 102) Even though these accounts which We have revealed to you are a collection about the past events when you the people were not there with brethren of Joseph who together conspired and schemed against him 103) yet they are revealed for you so that you too strive as he did in the face of adversity and opposition because most people are not going to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind otherwise, no matter how much you may desire it for them. This verse explains why Allah sent his revelations for people ie to give them solid foundation to stand upon and help each other to come and stand upon the same platform and then work together as a proper human community for blissful, dignified and secure existence. What a slap on faces of rulers, mullahs and money lenders who say we believe in God yet use and abuse fellow human beings instead of coming to aid of each other for better world. 104) This is why you are not to demand any wage for educating people with this information, it is because this Quran is to be made accessible for all the people in the world through your hard work for their benefit. Another strong slap for users and abusers of humanity, who work for ensuring copyrights of intellectual property so that thereby they could use and abuse others. When people were not born with anything as theirs then what right do they have to try and stop each other from benefiting from whatever the world has to offer to all mankind? This is why people should fight against laws that divide them and put obstacle in the way of unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. 105) There are many proofs for it throughout the heavens and the earth which people come across yet they pay no attention to them for proper understanding of things 106) and as a result most of them who declare commitment to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind in the name of Allah yet abide by ways of life or rules of laws advised by other than Allah. Who are these people who declare their commitment to upholding the message of Allah yet do the opposite? It is rulers, mullahs, money lenders, their touts and supporters who claim to be Muslims yet think and do things just like those who reject and oppose message of Allah. This is why ummah must slap some sense into minds of its rulers, mullahs, money lenders and their touts and supporter so that ummah itself could live in unity, peace, progress and prosperity and could help rest of humanity to do the same by inviting it to the message of Allah properly. 107) Do they really feel comfortable and have certainty of mind despite their thoughts and actions against Our advised way of life which is bound to bring them terrible painful suffering in due course as they have been forewarned by Allah or do they feel comfortable and have certainty of mind regarding the Hour of uprising that it will not come upon them all of a sudden while they are not expecting it? This verse draws attention of people to a very important point that if people will keep accepting just any way of life by anyone instead of way of life advised by Allah thereby remain stuck to their make beliefs and useless rituals and so they will keep living under rulers, mullahs and money lenders then in due course they will feel that their lives are getting really bad and getting worse and worse. It is because these rulers, mullahs and money lenders will keep taking undue advantage of them and time will come when painful suffering will saturate population as this use and abuse keeps spreading and starts affecting everyone. It is therefore better that people go for what is right and have no worries for future because all become aware what is expected next and it is all well and good for them so long as all stick to way of life advised by Allah. 108) Tell them clearly that the way Joseph did things is my way of doing things also therefore I invite all of you the people in the world to Allah on the basis of verifiable information that I and my supporters possess. Behold! Right of being a Sovereign in this universe only belongs to Allah and His program is the best for mankind for accomplishing His goals according to His provided guidelines therefore I am not of those who abide by ways of life other than the one advised by Allah. 109) All the messengers We sent before you O Muhammad, were human beings of great courage, to such We sent Our revelations after choosing them from among the people of their own townships. Have these people who reject and oppose Our guidance not travelled through the land and seen what was the end of those who passed away before them due to ignoring Our advice? From the end results of their ways of doing things you should be able to know that the end result was better for those who did things the way they were consistent with Our advice for their own well being. So why don’t you learn to understand things properly so that you do things the way they benefit you as a proper human community? 110) Respite was always granted to human populations until Our messengers gave up hope of reformation of some of their people so they left them to themselves because they came to the conclusion that their these people will keep on denying each other their rights to Our provided sustenance, however Our advice came to be of help to those who chose to do things Our way whereby We delivered them their goals but Our foretold consequences could not be averted by those who lived their lives against Our advised way of life and became criminals inflicting harms and destructions upon each other thereby ended up destroying each other. 111) There is a lesson in these like accounts of the human populations of the past for the people who learn things to understand them for their own betterment. This account of Joseph revealed in the Quran is not an invented tale but a confirmation of what is true in the previous scriptures, a detailed explanation of all things mankind need to learn to live a blissful, dignified and secure life because it is a roadmap to unity, peace, progress and prosperity of people who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. |
Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 13 AL-RAAD–A thundering message for mankind to inspire them into action for bringing about a proper human community for creating a blissful, dignifying and secure life providing kingdom based upon revelation of Allah
This Surah is named RAAD from root RAA, AIN and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is a force that causes movement. Also thunder, forceful or vigorous message that inspires people into action or campaign or agitation to accomplish or establish a goal, tumult, chaos, confusion, tremor, upheaval, uprising, shiver, shudder, tremble, threat, fright, flab, faint hearted, weak minded, jelly like thing, wobbly thing, instability, something unstable, thundering rhetoric, vain talk, talkative, state of confusion or chaos, revolt, rebuke, condemnation, to brag, to boast, loud rumbling noise etc etc. This Surah is named AL-RAAD because it carries a thundering message for dignifying humanity through explanation as to what this universe is all about and place of humanity in it which is irrefutable. The concept of living according to a program, constitution and law is very powerful for mankind because humanity cannot live in chaos and confusion forever therefore it must organise and regulate itself, so that it could have a life worth living in the end. The message is powerful because it challenges religious make beliefs and useless rituals forcefully explaining why and how things happen in nature ie they are not result of some kind of magic but happen because of planning, processes, systems, structures and mechanisms etc put in place and all people need to do is observe them carefully to understand things and then try and learn how to replicate them and take advantage of them. Man is not created a slave to nature but to be its mini master one day. This is why this Surah explains set-up systems and laws at work in nature so that mankind realise how they can organise and work together to have a regulated smooth life that is less susceptible to upheavals and bloody revolutions. If people already know what to expect then they save themselves from lots of unnecessary worries and troubles. To understand natural laws is very important for mankind eg if we know how the fire works then we could rely on it when we use it to do something but if we did not know how it worked or could never find out then our lives will be turned upside down. For example, we make tea on fire and it works the same for all ie it heats up the water. If it heated water some times and at times frozen it instead of heating then we could never come to know what to expect each time we put the water filled kettle on fire. This is how God explains that likewise if you also lived by set-up systems and laws and regulated your lives sensibly then a lot of chaos and confusion we see in everyday life will reduce to a minimum. This is why laws of nature are never suspended and miracles are not shown because that would have confused humanity instead of leading them to certainty. It is a very decisive Surah as to why miracles should not be expected and that it is a false concept in light of set-up systems and laws of nature. There are only three ways to approach something to discover its reality. Top down approach, bottom up approach and half-split method. This means you either start from the very top and work downwards or start at the very bottom and work upwards and or start somewhere in the middle and work upwards as well as downwards. One can adopt any approach that makes things easier. Existence of God can be proven using all three ways. If we go by top down approach we can begin by supposing existence of God on the basis that nothing can come to being by itself out of nothingness so there has to be some intelligent being there already with ability to create. However, to positively confirm that further the concept of revelation has to be brought in to complete the argument. It is because existence of God on its own serves no purpose for us human beings ie we cannot know why that existing being created the universe and what is our role in his scheme of things. If we start from creation and revelation then we can do the same ie prove thereby existence of God because the universal realities and Quranic message back each other up fully so if the Quranic claims can be proven through observation of universal realities then such information and universe could not have come about from any other source than the creator and sustainer of the universe. It is because human beings are not developed that much even today to produce as much information as the Quran contains in the way the Quran contains it therefore the Quran has to be from the creator and sustainer of the universe. Likewise one can start with study of the Quran or the universe and keep going till one reaches the final conclusion. The other point that is very important to remember is that not each and everything is created or done by God. God created things using his natural set-up systems and laws but once man came about he also created and did things to show that he has the ability to create and do things in his own right. The material that man uses for his creativity was created by God in its original form but it was man who learned from nature and started copying it and modified things to suit himself. By splitting part of God in scheme of things and part of man and other things, it is then possible for mankind to see whether man can point a finger at work of God. This is very, very important point to remember always. For example, the Quran is sent in Arabic language, why? It is because it was not God who created languages of things but things themselves created them and so did human beings. God always chose the best language at any given time and place to send his message for human beings. The Quran was sent in Arabic because the most useful and suited language for humanity and divine message was Arabic at the time for this era. It is because it was based on concept of root meanings of words and that means concepts attached to root were helpful in explaining same message to an earlier people as well as a later people. Any precise language would not have been a good vehicle for conveying the message for changing world and people. It is an idea similar to idea of formation of laws that you use cause based laws, so if the cause remains the same, the effect remains the same or the same laws applies if same situations and circumstances occur. It explains the concept of good and evil ie God created fire but it is up to users as to how they use it. It is like people created guns and knives but it is up to users to use them for benefit or loss. Creator of something cannot be blamed for its improper use. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1) Alif Laam Meem Raa. These are parts of the program that are revealed to you the mankind through the messenger from your Creator and Sustainer as the verifiable truth yet most of the people do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to it. When the Quran talks about verifiable truth it means if the given plan for building a human community is put into practice then it will deliver the goods and when that happens the truth about these statements of the Quran will become obvious as a real world reality. Even before that program is put in place people can look at it and see if it is workable or not. This situation is like that of a map for building a house. If the map looks ok on the paper when examined carefully then there is little doubt that it will not work in reality. This is what the Quran tells people to accept as a trust in word of Allah. It does not ask people to put their faith in God blindly as mullahs will have us do to make fools of us. The program of Allah is perfect for its stated purpose yet people do not want to know it, why not? It is because Allah has created people with differences between them ie they are not all exactly the same ie identical. Some are strong others weak. All these differences are functionary differences for purpose of Allah but people are supposed to level out these differences by standing in for each other rather than standing up against each other by trying to dominate each other to take undue advantage of each other by undermining and undercutting each other as explained already. Despite this explanation people rather remain ignorant and act arrogantly which results in some people trying to use and abuse others for personal gains instead of living for each other by ensuring well being of each other as a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah. 2) Your Creator and Sustainer is Allah Who has raised all the galaxies in the universe without any visible support that you could see therefore His sovereignty rightfully extends over all the kingdom and due to that right He has subjected the sun and the moon to His set-up systems and laws so each is pursuing its program for an appointed time and that is how He organised and regulated all affairs in the universe as He has explained through His revelations so that you the mankind also meet the set standard of your Creator and Sustainer for your unity, peace, progress and prosperity with full confidence for your own well being. This like verses in the Quran have parallel meanings eg systems and laws are put in place to let mankind rise and fall as nations by adopting or not adopting the right course of thoughts and actions as explained. The world is given rise to or is brought about by Allah without any apparent physical means eg from where Allah has brought about the matter to create this world if there was nothing else there other than Allah himself? All this is explained to show that Allah is a being with knowledge and power. The Quran does not answer the questions like where did the world come from and how did the revelation get here other than saying that these were just acts of Allah so people should have faith based upon rational thinking. It answers all the rest of questions in reasonable detail and uses that to prove the Quran is word of Allah. In other words, it is not provable directly by physical connections that Allah has created this world or that he has sent any revelations like the Quran however all other claims are proven through indirectly verifiable evidences as explained already. Of course, there is no way for humanity to prove otherwise either so it is not possible to create any reasonable doubt on the authenticity of the claim that the Quran revelation of Allah and that universe is the creation of Allah. Particularly when the Quranic explanations about the real world are exactly as the universe and things in it actually are. Moreover the Quran is a book that only helps mankind to ensure their own well being so it is a win, win situation even if we cannot directly connect the creation and the revelation to Allah actually physically. Although we did not see Allah creating things or revealing his messages nonetheless we can rationalise them that he did as explained already. Word ISTAWAA also carries meanings within itself that Allah has a firm properly balanced personality therefore he is capable of keeping all other things properly balanced and firmly founded. This is why the way of life advised by Allah is proper way of life because it puts mankind on solid foundation or path to accomplish the objectives and thereby fulfil the purpose for which Allah has created mankind. People who live by any way of life other than the one told by Allah become corrupt because they do so for gaining power over others by undermining them so corrupt mindset leads them to corrupt attitude and corrupt attitude leads them to corrupt behaviour therefore it is not possible for the powerful people not to be corrupt. So long as some people are corrupt others are bound to suffer at their hands. This is why people must learn the Quran and live by it so that corruption could be minimised even if it could not be ended 100% due to possibility of human errors. 3) He it is Who has expanded the earth and brought about therein high mountains and low valleys flowing with water whereby He brought about fruits of every kind resembling each other as well as He brought about the phenomenon of the night by covering the daylight. Surely therein are proofs for those who learn and think about purposes for existence of things, how they are brought about and evolved and the way they work to fulfil their set out tasks to fulfil their stated purposes. The use of definite articles with nouns in the Quran needs special attention eg when we talk about cows and say that cow, we mean a particular cow among the category of cows. The Quran mostly uses the definite article in a different sense ie it tells us that the defined noun not only applies to category of a particular thing but anything else in a similar sense as well. This is why many of the Quranic verses end up with parallel complementary meanings because the very same text applied to other things as well in some other sense. Instead of isolating something of a particular category within that category it breaks the isolation and makes all other things inclusive as well. This is why word AL-ARD does not only mean this planet earth upon which we live but the base upon which we stand or something within our reach as compared to something beyond our reach. This is why word AL-SAMAWAAT not only means heavens it can also mean solar system planets as well as other galaxies that are far away as compared to our own galaxy called Milky Way. Moreover words ARD and SAMAA could be people in position of power and down trodden ie high flyers and down to earth etc. In short the Quran speak in context of science, society, politics and economics etc all at the same time. In each of the contexts the overall sense is only complementary and all inclusive. For example see the explanation of the very first verse of the Quran ie BISMILLAH. The point made is that observe the way natural world works as a unit and build likewise a human community that functions properly as if human community is a machine with all its components doing their jobs as they should in order to ensure proper working of a machine. 4) In the earth there are tracts side by side of gardens of grapes, of cornfields and of palm trees with single and multi trunks, they are all watered with the same water yet we make some of them excel in taste than others. Surely therein are evidences for people who use their intelligence to observe and learn to understand things. 5) Now if there is anything strange then it is their asking, as we the human community are lying in the dust due to rifts and wars, is there any way that we could be raised to dignified life again? It is strange because these are the very people who oppose the program of their Creator and Sustainer that leads to blissful, dignified and secure existence so how can they have the blissful, dignified and secure life? Because of that mindset, attitude and behaviour they cannot be free of yokes they have put around each other’s necks that are making their lives full of hardship and unbearable and so they are the ones who will end up in yet more agony and suffering and live therein for as long as they live unless they rise up to change things for the well being and betterment of themselves through help of this program. Is it not strange that people know that the ways of life they have adopted are only delivering them painful suffering by hands of each other yet they are bothered not even with thinking about the fact that they could live their lives some other better way? The Quran puts forth a way of life that has power structure bottom up rather than top down. It is because people are told to live by the book of Allah but as a community. As explained already people are not independent individuals in their existence minding their own business. It is because people come from each other so they cannot be independent of each other due to biological linkage. It is because people are naturally connected to each other and because they cannot fulfil their all needs all by themselves as individuals so they must come together and learn to live with each other in a way that ensures well being of each and every human being. This is why if people will come together then they will have to organise and regulate themselves as a community so that their needs could be met by them through working together as a proper human community. It is for this organisation and regulation the Quran gives people the foundation that they need through a program for accomplishing set out goals by providing them with guidelines. Unless people adopt this way of life they can never be prosperous because they cannot develop and progress without peace between themselves and that is why the need for unity between people. This is why the goals set by the Quran for people cannot be avoided by mankind no matter whatever they think or do to avoid them and that is why domination of way of life told by the Quran is inevitable. It is because unless and until people adopt the advised way of life the bloodshed between people is inevitable. This is why the message of the Quran must be understood and spread by people among themselves to help them unite and become a great human community. This also tells us what kind of power structure is needed for that kind of community organisation and regulation. It is bottom up power structure because it has to be a mass movement whereby people come together because they like the Quranic program for the Quranic goals according to the Quranic guidelines. So as they come together for accomplishing the set goals they will need an administration that serves them as it suits them. So community is not ruled by administration but served by it because the boss is community not the administration. The administration is worker of the community as needed by the community. This is why it is a bottom up power structure that Quran dictates for humanity and not the top down power structure where a few powerful people take over the community by force and start using and abusing a community for their own ends. This is fundamental difference between Islamic way of life and any other way of life wherein power rests with rulers, not general public. This is why the Quran condemns rulers, money lenders and mullahs because they try to justify their rule over a human population as their God given right so that they could use and abuse people in the name of Allah. This is why people must learn the Quran properly so that they could see what the actual message of the Quran is. The Quran wants people to educate each other to a level whereat they can understand what a self regulated human society in action will look like. This explanation must also let people know that to declare a war is up to Quran based community and not up to the administration of the community. This is why rule by so called Muslim rulers is not based upon the Quran. Ummah is supposed to resist any takeover by a few powerful individuals because that is infidelity or unfaithful behaviour or action. 6) By not accepting and following the given program they are giving you the clues that they prefer inflicting yet more harm and destruction upon each other and keep suffering painfully at hands of each other instead of going for beautiful works that help them towards unity, peace, progress and prosperity as a people, however due to similar mindset, attitude and behaviour destroyed themselves many of the generations that passed away before them. Even though your Creator and Sustainer is provider of security through His blissful and dignifying program for mankind against harm and destruction they inflict upon each other yet He has also set–up systems and laws that strictly enforce His law of consequences to make people face the results of their own thoughts and actions. 7) That is why the rejecters and opponents of Our program, goals and guidelines say, why is no proof sent to him by his Creator and Sustainer as per our demands? But do they not realise that your job as Our messenger is only to deliver Our given message to them? You are a forewarner against the consequences of not following the given program just like forewarners that were sent to every nation before them and their revelations carried their own proofs within them needing no miracles they demand because that served no purpose. 8) Allah made obvious for people what each community had to carry out to have a blissful, dignified and secure life below which it could not afford to fall or transgress it because everything has a set program from Him to follow. The Quran explains in verses like these why human beings have been created for purpose of self learning because other things have been created programmed to a much greater degree which when observed by people will help them learn. This is why people are given brains, senses and bodies consistent with ability to become learned. If we look at a human baby how he develops as he grows by looking and listening to other things he comes in contact with this explanation by the Quran becomes very obvious. Had Allah created all things capable of self learning but none of them programmed at all then could they learn anything at all? No. Things could only function properly if all were created fully programmed or only some of them were created fully programmed and others programmed to a lesser degree. These like explanations the Quran contains in its verses, could human beings ever think about them let alone write a book like the Quran? Also how did things program themselves and for what purpose? As explained already if things were not pre-programmed they could not come into existence or even be able to function. The very ability of things to come into existence and function properly shows they have been created by some being with such capabilities for some purpose of his own. The Quran is so full of wisdom that only an ignorant and unwise person will take it as human work. There is nothing more capable of wisdom than human beings or their creator and that is why if people did not produce the Quran themselves because it is beyond their capability then who produced the Quran? If human beings are not capable of creating the universe and themselves or the universe is not capable of creating itself and things in it then where did it come from other than someone capable has brought it about? 9) He alone is in a unique position as a planner to make manifest in due course for the mankind the future developments including results of their own thoughts and actions as well as the present. The Quran repeats the phrase AALIMUL GHAIBI WASHAHAADAH. It does not mean Allah knows the visible and the invisible because Allah did not make anything that is beyond human capability to come to know it. What it means is that Allah has planned things and that plan is going to unfold itself before the very eyes of human beings as time goes on. So whatever people think and do, the outcome of that is to become obvious for them and because that is the way the universe is set-up to work therefore people should think and do things with outcome of their thoughts and actions in their minds so that they do not think harmful and destructive thoughts nor take harmful and destructive actions or terrible things will happen which people will not like for themselves to happen to them. This is why forewarning is emphasised very much throughout the Quran. So people are supposed to learn from the results of their past actions so that they continue doing what produced good results for mankind and stop doing things that turned the world into a terrible world and in future plan for the better world. 10) It makes no difference to fulfilling of the plan of Allah as to how it unfolds and results of your thoughts and actions are made obvious whether any of you do things in secret for your personal gains at the expense of each other or in the open for the well being of each other as a community, whether any of you do things under the cover of darkness for harming and destroying humanity or walk about doing things that ensure well being of humanity in broad daylight. Allah has planned the world fail proof and fool proof, so it is unaffected by whatever people do as far as the end result is concerned. People can only take the short route to the destination preset by Allah or the long route. One way is based upon learning and teaching each other thereby doing things as revealed and getting to the destination and the others is forcing each other to move in the very same direction by beating each other up. So it is left to the people to choose any route they like. So far only a minority of people have chosen a bit of short cut but most of the people have chosen a very long course to reach their very same destination. This is why the world is making progress but in tiny steps instead of giant steps in leaps and bounce. 11) For each nation there is a set time and place among nations according to the set-up universal systems and laws of Allah that decide its time and place, there are nations before or in front of it and nations after or behind it that surround it. All are subject to law of cause and effect so they reap what they sow because Allah never changes the living condition of a people for the better by suspending His law of cause and effect therefore until they take steps to change themselves as a people for the betterment of themselves no such change can occur and letting things get worse can lead them only to further harm and destruction by their own hands. Behold, when set-up systems and laws of Allah afflicts a people with misfortune it is only because they bring it upon themselves therefore none can ward it off them because that is the result of set-up systems and laws of Allah nor can they find any protection against His set-up systems and laws other than following the advised course of actions faithfully. This like verses in the Quran take the idea of magic and miracles head on that Allah has created this world based upon chains of causes and effects so if anyone wants anything to happen one has to make it happen otherwise it will not happen by magic or miracle. This is why the Quran tells people to learn divine message so that they become aware how the universe is set-up by Allah to work so that then people do not look to other ways and means for things to happen than the ones explained for them by the maker of the universe. This is why if people want to turn their world into a paradise then the only way to do that is to learn the guidance from Allah and act upon it ie think and do the works that will make world beautiful and not think and do things the way the world becomes a living hell for most of the people of this world. This is not possible unless people unite on basis of peaceful existence which is not possible unless people develop and make progress so that they are prosperous ie needs of all people are met sufficiently. Any other way people can only divide and discriminate against each other and become trapped in prejudices and hatred and wars. All this then can only lead humanity into a terrible state of existence. This is why having right mindset, attitude and behaviour is absolutely vital for people and that can only come about if people take the message of Allah seriously. 12) He is the One Who shows you the lightning to draw your attention whereby He brings you hope of prosperity by means of heavy laden clouds. The Quran repeats verses like this because they are of great importance ie people learn through prompting. When things happen in the real world they draw attention of people so that people observe things and learn lessons from them and do what needs to be done for ensuring their own well being as a proper human community as already explained in detail. Natural world is set-up to be used by people to benefit from by learning and doing things and that is the reason people have been given brains, senses and bodies to interact and participate in the universe as their environment. By drawing attention to various things the Quran tries to expand human thinking. This is how revelation of Allah gave basis to methodical human thinking which helped humanity develop and prosper. 13) That is how the thunder strives hard to manifest His glory and so do the people on His mission due to faithfully following His program for the well being of mankind. However He lets them strike down any people who work hard towards their own destruction because they fight against the program, constitution and law of Allah and He is strict in enforcing His program through His set-up systems and laws. The purpose for which Allah created this universe and mankind in it cannot remain unfulfilled no matter what because Allah has put in place systems and laws to carry out his program so the message is also a clear forewarning for mankind to follow the guidance or suffer the consequences of your unnecessary and uncalled for thoughts and actions against each other. The revelation and the natural universe are thundering messages from the creator and sustainer of mankind which leave one in no doubt as to what is expected of people and if they will not do as told then what is in store for them or what is coming for them. 14) Invitation to His rule alone is the right one because those who invite to rule of others than Allah they can never fulfil them at all. They are like a man with his hands stretched out towards the water as if asking water to come to his mouth and is waiting for it to reach his mouth but it does not. Therefore invitation of those who oppose mission of Allah calling towards rule of other than His rule is nothing more than an exercise in vain 15) because whatever is in the heavens and the earth is bound by universal systems and laws of Allah regardless of having the ability to choose or not and so do even their own means of survival be it for the bright period of prosperity or be it for the dark period of regression. Word ZILAAL is from root ZWAA, LAAM and LAAM. Already explained it means something that is used as protection against some danger in some sense, to be under umbrella of or to live under protection of, shelter, refuge, security for survival, umbrella, protection, shadow, cover, protective shield etc etc. Word GHUDOO is from root GHAIN, DAAL and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is morning. Also tomorrow, future, morning or daytime meal, time between breaking of dawn and rising of the sun, the morrow, early hours of the morning, the day that comes after today, the act of going out, the outward trip, midday meal, bright future, a period of prosperity etc etc. Word ASAAL is from root ALIF, SWAAD and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is root. Also base or foundation of something upon which it is based, origin, stand, standard, value, family tree, tree, constitution, code of life, law, something that gives basis to something or helps it rise, to be deep-rooted, well founded, firmly founded, to eradicate, to uproot, to destroy, stem, time before sunset, evening, fall time, regression, to decline, falling time of the sun or a nation, disappearance or destruction time of a people etc etc. Here Allah explains the fact that all that exists follows program of Allah for his set purpose regardless it is a living thing or a nonliving thing with ability of less or more choice. All things are bound by cause and effect law so nothing happens outside the law of cause and effect. A huge slap on the faces of stupid mullahs who promote magic and miracle concept in the name of Allah falsely thereby confuse ignorant, illiterate, uneducated simple minded people and use and abuse them thereby. This is why people who are educated need to help these simple minded people by educating them otherwise our world cannot change for the better. To help change the world for the better people need help of each other as much as they can get so that all have education to be able to see their way to brighter future clearly. 16) So ask them, whose set-up systems and laws then govern all the heavenly bodies including this earth? Say, it is systems and laws of Allah alone. Ask them, when this is the case throughout the universe then why do you take rulers other than Him who in reality cannot work for the well being of their own kind because they cannot protect their people against inflicting harms and destructions upon each other? Say, are the blind and senseless and the seeing and sensible equal or is the darkness and ignorance same as the light and knowledge? Or have those whom they take for sovereigns created anything like the creation of Allah in their sight that they have the right to be the rulers along with Allah? Say, if that is not the case then why don’t you accept Allah as the sole creator of all things and therefore the only one with right to sovereignty, the one Irresistible. As explained already the rulers people accept cannot deliver to them their needs because they have taken over rule to rule people to use and abuse them for their own agendas and not to serve them. This is top down structure of ruling that is only good for the ruling elite, money lenders and mullahs and not for humanity at large. Bottom up structure advised by the Quran is very different because it is there for serving humanity by setting it up in a way to ensure all its needs are properly met. As explained already deen of Islam is all about proper management of people and resources and means of production and distribution for the well being of humanity. So there are no rulers to be served, no need for monetary system or business for profit system or people or any mullahs to push make beliefs and useless rituals that serve no purpose. This is why, people better learn the Quran and use it for their own benefit otherwise there is no end in sight to protect people against use and abuse by each other. 17) It is He alone who sends down water as rain from the heaven and each channel flows according to its measure whereby the torrent bears a swelling foam like the scum which appears from the metals that are melted in the furnace for making ornaments and utensils. By such exemplary arguments Allah proves what is true and what is false. As for the scum, it is thrown away due to being worthless but that which is useful for the mankind remains behind in the land. This is how Allah puts forth exemplary arguments to prove His message clearly. The Quran is full of verses explaining set-up systems and working of things in the universe in order to draw attention of people to see how things are put in place to work so that they do not sit and look for magical and miraculous solutions of their problems and instead get up learn and do things the way they are told so that their world becomes a blissful, dignified and secure place for their existence. This is what is meant by kingdom of Allah. This surah is coming up with explanations one after the other for educating people about things to enable them to be masters of their own destiny. The Quran could not have been written by clever people because if the Quran was written by powerful clever people themselves then they could not keep people ignorant, illiterate and uneducated and if people became clever as rulers and money lenders then they could not use and abuse them. The poor and weak people are mostly ignorant, illiterate and uneducated so they could not have written the Quran therefore the only option is that the Quran is revelation of Allah as it claims. In the world wherein we are born and live each person tries to make fool of others so why anyone will write a book which educates people and makes things clear for them? Moreover why will so called prophets of Allah educate others and make them clever instead of using and abusing them for their own ends? Even today people fight for copyrights over intellectual property, so it makes no sense why books that make people clever should be written and spread free of charge? This is a very strange thing that makes no sense at all unless we accept that such books came from Allah for the very purpose the books claim they were sent for. This is how make beliefs and useless rituals are rejected and condemned by the Quran and so are rejected and condemned rulers, money lenders and their mullahs and supporters for inventing and spreading falsehood in the name of Allah and his messengers and his scriptures. 18) Beautiful results in form of bright future await for thoughts and actions of those who respond positively to program of their Creator and Sustainer. As to those who refuse to respond positively to His manifesto even if they had all that is in the earth and as much more beside that to offer as a ransom in order to save themselves from the painful suffering that is to follow them as a result of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions it will not avail them the results the program of Allah will. This is why they are bound to land themselves in terrible consequences of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions that will make their lives hell by hands of each other and that is a terribly painful state of existence to be in. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind that value of guidance of Allah is so great that it is worth much more than the value of heavens and the earth could offer. It is because people cannot become a brotherhood merely by having things, if anything it is because they want to have everything they are at the throats of each other turning their world into a terrible place out of jealousy, rivalry, animosity and hatred which lead them to terrible wars with each other. It is only the guidance of Allah that teaches them how to be proper human beings and a brotherhood of mankind. No wonder people cannot come together even if they spent all they have because ultimately it is purpose of life that binds mankind together in the name of their creator and sustainer. If we look at history, many powerful and wealthy people ended up in terrible depression near the end of their lives regretting their actions and the way they lived their lives due to making so many people unhappy in the world only for life of several decades. What a loss if you do not live for helping mankind live a happy and comfortable life. The other point the Quran makes is the way the world will end up if people will not live as told that none will come to aid of another when one suffer so one will have to bear it on one’s own. Is this really good way of living for people if they have brains? 19) Is he who has made himself aware that it is the verifiable truth that has been sent to you by your Creator and Sustainer like the one who deprives himself of this information and its proper understanding? Only those who learn to understand Our goals and guidelines for them properly become sensible and conscientious of their responsibilities towards each other. 20) Such are the ones who fulfil their constitutional obligations by Allah for the benefit of the human community so they do not fall short of their commitment to rule of Allah for the benefit of the mankind. 21) Such are the ones who bring together people to form a proper human community on the basis of that which is revealed by Allah because they pay due attention to program of their Creator and Sustainer due to fearing harmful and destructive consequences of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other if they do not. The Quran here clarifies position of a people who truly follow it ie they try to unite people so that there is peace between them as a community so that they work for development of humanity to help it become prosperous. This is the only way to eliminate divisions, rivalries, animosities and hatred between people that leads them to fights and wars between themselves that land them in destruction. The Quran is not about a human society wherein people live like enemies in rival groups nor it is for a society wherein they mind their own business instead it is for a human community that is all inclusive wherein people look after each other ensuring well being of each other the best they can. So people who equate the Quran to a book that is harmful and destructive for humanity are ignorant, arrogant and stubborn be they mullahs or secularists. 22) Therefore they are the ones who privately and publicly remain steadfastly engaged in mission of their Creator and Sustainer in order to establish an advised community supportive network for opening up the way for delivering to all Our provided livelihood for turning round the human population that inflicts harms and destructions upon each other through works that make the world beautiful for ensuring well being of mankind as a proper human community. These people are therefore bound to end up in an excellent state of affairs in due course 23) because in blissful, dignified and secure life providing kingdoms they will enter and so will such people as will mend rifts between mankind in order to bring about peaceful human societies from among their elders and their colleagues as well as their youngsters because the missionaries will succeed in getting Our message through to them by all means 24) saying to them, you have achieved peaceful existence for yourselves due to your steadfastness in pursuit of your set out goals through provided program according to given guidelines therefore excellent indeed is the state of affairs for you in the blissful, dignifying and secure life providing kingdom in the end. Word DAAR is from root DAAL, WOW and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is central in some sense. Also circle, to circle around, to go round, to turn, a halo, a frame, a wide open space between mountains, to treat, to manage, a dwelling, a house, to have a setback, to be afflicted, to dispute with, to dissuade, to try to move away something from something, to roll, to run, to operate, to transact, to exchange, to hand, home, abode, mansion, town, city, neighbourhood, village, hereafter, a single person, bad turn of fortune, something around which something revolves, centre of attention, focal point, destiny, a location, to locate, terminal, end of a journey, destination, goal, objective, a place, kingdom, a piece of land, a state of existence, government, organisation, management, committee, administration etc etc. These verses of the Quran should leave none in doubt as to what kind of human society the Quran wants people to bring about for themselves through steadfast constant struggle by themselves according to guidance of Allah. The Quran explains in detail what kind of human society it wants for humanity and how it can be brought about by people themselves. So the real question people need to ask themselves is, do they want the kind of human community the Quran advises for them and if so, are they prepared to work for it the way they should? Only if mankind want the Quran based community and are willing to work for it that it can be brought about not otherwise. So long as ummah will blindly follow its rulers, money dealers and mullahs like sheep having no sense of anything at all, such an ummah is not going to come about. 25) As for those who fulfil not their constitutional obligations to each other as a proper human community according to guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of each other after declaring their commitment to program of Allah and instead of bringing people together to form a proper human society as per guidance of Allah cause rifts between mankind thereby wars in the land for that reason upon such people rests humiliation and destruction because such people are bound to end up in such terrible state of affairs. Ummah should look at itself today and see if this verse is not talking about it because people of ummah have no interest in knowing the message of the Quran properly and follows it faithfully. All because people follow make beliefs and useless rituals and think all will be alright. If they see it is getting worse they do more of the same thinking they have not done enough already instead of stopping and thinking what actually may have gone wrong due to which they have ended up where they should not have. 26) It is because Allah deliver vast amount of sustenance through His advised way of life for those who choose to work for it as a proper human community but limits it for the rest who adopt ways of life opposite to that. Therefore those who adopt the way of life advised by Allah live a happy life in this world however life of this world is very short as compared to life that is yet to come. The Quran tells mankind, this life is not the only life but there awaits people yet another life if they want it which is even better than the best of life they can bring about for themselves in this world. It is going to be awarded by Allah to those who work for making this life beautiful for each other as a proper human community. People do raise question if there is going to be another life in hereafter but such a question cannot be answered through direct evidence. Answering this question indirectly one can say, if the Quran is right about things in this world then it must be right about things it says about the next world as well or that we cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there is certainly no life in hereafter. However, the other way to answer this question is to say, does it really matter if there is no life in hereafter if we struggle for a better life in this world? In other words it should make no difference for our struggle for creating a better life for ourselves in this world. If we do get another chance with even better life then that is only a bonus. If we do not get that we still do not lose anything, do we? If we do not struggle for better world in this life then life is not worth living anyway and if we succeed then well and good. So the Quranic explanation shows us a win, win situation no matter how we look at it. Life itself is not important but quality of life is of vital importance in the context of the Quran. If life itself was important then people could never kill each other or themselves in form of committing suicide. This is why struggle for quality of life should be the focus of humanity and that is why people should work towards improving our world so that people feel happy living in this world which we create for ourselves. This is how the Quran makes obvious which way of life is inevitable to become the only way of life in the world as people become educated and work towards better world bit by bit. So no wonder the Quran tells mankind that deen of Islam (ie the way of life that leads to unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind) will ultimately become the way of life of all people in the world. 27) After all this explanation those who reject and oppose Our guidance still say, why has no miracle been sent to him (the messenger for us) by his Creator and Sustainer as per our demands? Say, Allah leaves to go astray whoever so desires by remaining ignorant of His program, constitution and law and He guides to His advised way of life whoever works hard to study it to understand it properly and implement it faithfully to turn it into a reality. 28) It is people like that who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind with full confidence in their minds due to guidance of Allah. Be aware! The confidence in minds comes only through proper study of the message of Allah. 29) So those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind therefore strive hard to mend rifts between people to bring about unity through peace, for them there will be blissful, dignified and secure existence and a wonderful kingdom to end up in. 30) That is why We have sent you among this final people as Our final messenger with Our final message just like we sent messengers to all the nations gone before this, so that you proclaim to them this message that has been revealed to you yet they stand in opposition to the revelation of the one Who provided this information to raise mankind to life of bliss, dignity and security. Say, He alone is my Creator and Sustainer and there is no rightful sovereign other than Him in this kingdom of the universe therefore upon His set-up universal systems and laws I rely and to His pointed out goals for mankind I turn to accomplish. 31) So no miracles are needed for the goals set for the mankind to accomplish because if there is any teaching that could help mankind move the mountains or slice the earth or could raise the dead and speak to them then this is the very Quran that will help you do all that however the primary purpose of this Quran is only to guide mankind through this program as to how they should live in this world to have a blissful, dignified and secure life for themselves as a single human family working together for the well being of each other in the name of their Creator and Sustainer in the hope of a better future. So it is up to people to accept this Quran as a guidance or reject it and see the results for themselves for their thoughts and actions without this guidance, however upon universal systems and laws of Allah depends the outcome of all that happens. Do those who have committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind not realise that had Allah enforced His will He could have forced all the people to follow His guidance? So those who reject and oppose Our message they will continue to be stricken with disaster or it will come near to their homes until the promise of Allah comes true in form of revolts or civil wars and wars between nations because Allah breaks not the link between the cause its effect. This verse is telling us that humanity is going to accomplish a lot of surprising things that people just now cannot even think about today just as people of the past could not imagine the progress humanity has made since its origin to date. Moreover the Quran is said to be such a book that if people lived by it they will be able to raise dead people one day. This verse makes a very important point about life after death. It tells us that mankind will be able to move mountains and tear through the earth. This is very first soorah of the Quran which is speaking in such a powerful voice, predicting huge development and progress by mankind. Yet it warns mankind that so long as humanity does not learn sense to live peacefully with each other as a single family things will remain terrible for mankind due to fights over personal gains at the expense of each other. 32 Surely messengers before you were mocked even though I gave respite to those who opposed them for learning and understanding their program yet they heeded not so in time l caught them inflicting harms upon each other to the point of destruction, so how true proved My forewarning in their case? 33) Therefore is there any like Him Who has established such a universal system to bring each person the results of what one does? Not at all yet they ascribe sovereignty to others along with Allah. Say, prove right of rule for any of them whom you attribute with right of sovereignty along with Allah or are you telling Him of something He is unaware of in this universe or is it just a matter of coining words for you as make beliefs? Indeed to the rejecters and opposers of rule of Allah their own scheming is made pleasing by each other and that is how they are taken away from the guidance of Allah by themselves and each other. That is how Allah lets stray whoever chooses, so he has none to guide him. Assuming nonsense beliefs and rituals is very common among ignorant, illiterate and uneducated people and rulers, money lenders and mullahs play a big role in it because it suits them to do that and to keep things that way. This is why people do not let people become educated and thinking people because this means trouble for lazy and crazy rulers, money lenders and mullahs who live of other’s hard works than being productive themselves and helping others do the same. People become skulkers and shirker in two ways ie either by forcing others to work for them like rulers, money lenders and mullahs or by being lazy who have no sense of purpose at all and therefore see no need for doing anything with their lives. One type of people force others by tricks and mechanisms to work for them so that they could survive on their backs the while others just live of others by getting their sympathies and that is how they too use and abuse others eg some children live of their parents long after they become adults doing nothing at all for the betterment of themselves and others. It is abuse of rights and responsibilities if people do not do what they can or are stopped from doing what they can by others. Such interactions and participations prove very damaging for human communities because they prevent humanity from development and progress. 34) Such will suffer in this world and their suffering will only get worse in time to come as there is nothing to protect them against using and abusing each other, other than guidance of Allah which they themselves reject and oppose. 35) A description of the blissful kingdom which those who are consistent with the program of Allah for the benefit of humanity are told to bring about is that rivers of livelihood should flow throughout it and its provisions should be continuous to provide shelter from all sort of troubles and hardships. Such should be the land of those who are consistent with guidance of Allah for the well being of mankind and in comparison the land of those who reject and oppose His program will be a place full of pain and suffering. 36) This is why those to whom We have given any scripture before this and they faithfully act upon it rejoice at what has been sent to you though there are other groups from among the same people who reject and oppose some parts of it. Say, I am told to serve the rule of law of Allah alone and not to take any for a ruler other than Him. Therefore upon His set up systems and laws in the universe I rely and not upon magic or miracles and to His program I turn for guidance which is realistic and practical. 37) And this is the very purpose for which We have sent Our framework for governance of Our kingdom in such form of Arabic language that makes things distinctively clear for mankind for all times to come. However if you the followers of Our program were to follow the make beliefs and useless rituals of rejecters and opponents of Our program after Our set goals and guidelines have reached you then you will have nothing to protect you from falling victim to harms and destructions by each other against which Allah has already forewarned you. The Quran not only talks about Arabic language but also the precise stage of its development whereat it became suitable for the revelation of the Quran. These like points that are of huge importance make the Quran a very different scripture from all the rest because such things are not mentioned in those scriptures that are of huge importance. As explained already if language was under developed or over developed it could not fulfil the purpose of revelation because it could not convey the message of Allah properly for consumption of mankind. The Quran also talks about ruling system that Allah has revealed for mankind to live by and proves it unequalled by any ruling system that humans could ever bring about by themselves. This is why the surah like challenge is repeated in the Quran in different ways to prove that the Quran is in fact a message from Allah for guidance of mankind. It precisely for the reason that the Quran wants to prove it is word of Allah that it puts forth the challenge that none can come up with a better way of life for mankind than the one suggested by the Quran. For last so many centuries the Quran remains unchallenged and so it will remain always because no other way of life based upon divide and rule foundation can stop people from dominating each other and undermining each other and therefore fighting each other and killing each other as explained in detail. This is why as time goes on the coming about of kingdom of God is becoming more and more reality because people are getting fed up with wars and killings and destructions pushed upon humanity by some of its most harmful and destructive elements. As people value unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind more and more we are bound to end up in a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. It will happen quicker if more and more people learned the Quran and spread its message and thereby helped mankind toward a blissful, dignified and secure existence. 38) And for the very same reason of implementing Our program for ensuring well being of mankind We sent messengers before you whereby We brought about for them supporters by means of consistent ideological succession and following. It was never possible for a messenger to bring for any people any proof other than the message of Allah because for each period there was a clearly set out program, constitution and law for mankind to adhere to faithfully to ensure their own well being. 39) Allah let nations perish or establish themselves depending upon their following or not following His revealed programs because with Him rested the right and the responsibility for originating all the programs for the well being of mankind. This verse tell mankind why nations rise and fall ie by following the laws of nature or going against them as explained by Allah through his revelations to mankind. A very strong slap on faces of mullahs who stopped Muslims from studying the universe and things in it labelling it unIslamic knowledge. How stupid these mullahs could be and how silly of Muslims who followed such ignorant fools and ruined themselves and this ummah and rest of humanity that still awaits proper message of deen of Islam throughout the world. 40) For that reason it is up to Our set-up systems and laws whether We let you the followers of the Quran see some of that with which We have forewarned your opponents or We fulfil Our promise of blissful, dignified and secure existence to you, because it is your duty to deliver Our message to mankind and it is up to Our set-up systems and laws to take mankind to task for their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. 41) Do rulers, money lenders and mullahs therefore not see already that through Our set-up systems and laws We are bringing about gradual reduction in their power in every way whereby they use and abuse mankind throughout the world? Therefore it should be clear enough for you the mankind that right to rule belongs to Allah alone and there is none to override His set out program because He is strict in holding all things to behave within their set limits. Word ATRAAF is from root TWAA, RAA and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is eyesight. Also blinking or to blink, to twinkle, edge, utmost part, extremity, to be extreme, novelty, sight, glance, border, part, group, band, party, community, ruling elite, section, end, a notable or noble person, good things, a person in position of power, chief, manager, government, ruler, guardian, guard, watchman, a [person who keeps an eye on things, limit, fast, quick, hurry, to look at something with a stealth eye, spy, a stead, a horse of good breed etc etc. This verse is talking about changes that come about in human world due to changes in the natural world ie nature forces mankind to change so that they could continue existing due to adopting the new natural environment that comes about with time. For example, originally human population was very limited but with time it expanded so people were forced to change the way they lived otherwise they could not survive. Changes as explained already come about either through education whereby people prepare for things to come before hands or that when harmful and destructive things happen to people they look for ways to save themselves in future from similar harms and destructions. This is evolutionary change that comes about without anyone triggering it other than nature. The messengers sent by Allah try to change people through education and try to prepare them in advance for what is to come as much as they can. People also bring about change due to violent interaction and participation in their human societies hence we have bloody revolutions. So no matter what change cannot be stopped by mankind so the day is bound to come when people will have to accept the way of life revealed by Allah for ensuring their own well being. This is how absolute power of monarchs is gone and so is gone absolute power of mullahs and it is time for money based power structure to also collapse to give way to rule of law based world, the law which is firmly founded due to being properly balanced. This is why establishment will lose its power and public at large will gain its power and tghat is how top down power structure will collapse giving way to bottom up power structure as explained already. 42) Behold! Those before them schemed against Our program but all their schemes were within grasp of set-up systems and laws of Allah. He makes obvious the results of all that which each nation does therefore in time those who reject and oppose His program will come to know who is to end up in a blissful, dignified and secure life providing kingdom. 43) Yet those who reject and oppose Our revealed message say, you are not a messenger. Say, the consistency of set-up universal systems and laws by Allah with His revealed scripture is sufficient as a proof between me and you as well as the person or nation that has learned and understood His book and acts faithfully upon it. This surah as a whole is very different from the surahs before it. It is a very powerful message that combines all that which is mentioned in surahs before already in bits and pieces to draw attention. This surah puts forth arguments that are beyond challenge. Strong enough to deliver a knockout blow to all kinds of falsehood spread in the name of Allah, his messengers and scriptures. Surah 14 IBRAHEEM-The one who is guided properly and leads uncivilised human populations to guidance of Allah so that they establish kingdoms based upon guidance of Allah that ensure well being of mankind This Surah is named IBRAHEEM from roots BAA, RAA, HAA and MEEM; ALIF, BAA, RAA, HAA and MEEM and BAA, RAA and MEEM. It has various meanings eg father, ancestor, predecessor, manager, chief, father of nations, leader of mankind from darkness of ignorance to light of knowledge, friend of God, Godly person, a person dedicated to work of God or divine mission, an up-right man, leader of human community, a man who refuses to accept any rule other than rule of God, leader of nations to light of heavenly guidance, stone pot, a twisted rope, to twist, to tighten, to confirm, to plan, to decide firmly, to contrive, to determine, to scheme, to plot, spinning wheel, skeleton, lean, rundown, down trodden, decrepit, a twisted piece of thread of two colours that a woman ties on her arm or around her waist, to be stubborn, to become depressed or tired, to become firm, to dance, to accede to a wish, consent or submit to a reproach, willingness or inclination to do something under obligation or request, lord or an elder of a village, a counsellor, a figure of authority etc etc. Like surahs before this, this surah is named IBRAHEEM not because Ibraheem was a prophet and his story is told in this Surah but due to work involved in guiding people and leadership skills required in a person to carry out missionary work successfully. The whole point is to educate the messenger as to how he should educate his people to be good supporters and leaders. Each of these surahs is taking an aspect of the Quranic program and highlighting it or emphasising it so that when all of them are taken together the whole scheme of things become obvious so that it could then be used as a roadmap to make this program a reality. The Quran takes the prophet on a journey of knowledge so that he becomes a wise person himself and then guides others through the divine wisdom received by him. In this Surah also the point is raised about harmful and destructive system, leadership and following ie you cannot end up with life worth living as a community unless you each have community spirit as leaders and followers. This is the clear message of the Quran. So long as people live by any way of life or system that is based upon concept of personal gains at the expense of each other there is no community spirit because in any such system each person has to be for himself and as each person gathers all one can to ensure one’s own survival, others end up losing and so tensions come into play and grow till tipping point is reached and bloody revolutions come about. The Quran wants people not to go down that road instead learn from teachings but people mostly carry on as usual ignoring the message of the Quran. This mindset, attitude and behaviour of mankind does not seem to change much so nature will continue taking its course for as long as mankind do not come to their senses. Only people themselves can save themselves from all sorts of unnecessary troubles and hardships by being alert and actively involved in all stages of human developments so that mankind are self aware and aware of universal realities as well as divine revelation. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1) Alif Laam Raa. This is a program with goals and guidelines which We have revealed to you the messenger so that through this brilliant light of wisdom for their own well being you try your best to bring mankind out of their darkness of utter ignorance due to which they inflict harms and destructions upon each other, so by commandment of their Creator and Sustainer bring mankind to way of life advised by the almighty to whom belongs the sovereignty of this kingdom of this universe. 2) It is Allah alone to Whom belongs all that is in all the galaxies including this galaxy yet terrible humiliation and destruction is to be the end of those who reject and oppose His program and do as they please in their ignorance based arrogance. 3) They are those who love rivalry for short term personal gains for themselves for a high standard of life at the expense of people of their own communities instead of building a better future for themselves as a single nation and that is how they hinder each other from the program of Allah always conspiring to make it look crooked or unworkable. Such people have strayed far off the proper track that leads to blissful, dignified and secure existence of human community. The question is, who are people who hinder mankind from living their lives the way they are advised by Allah? Rulers, money lenders, mullahs and their touts and supporters. Why do they do that? Because they have a little advantage over others and instead of using that advantage to further human development and progress for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind they hinder all this and put the human world through hell all over the world. What do they get out of it? Pleasure out of suffering of others but that only lasts till they are here in this world and that things go their way but as soon as things turn against them every now and then all pleasures disappears and regretful life takes over as well as fear of what is going to happen to them from now on and what will happen to them where they are going from here. The confusion and chaos in their minds does not let them rest in peace even in their graves. So things look very bad for such people who are animals in form of human beings. 4) We have not sent any messenger but he spoke the language that his human community could understand so that he could explain to them Our plan clearly. That is why Allah leaves only such people to themselves who refuse to make effort to understand and follow His program properly and guides all who learn to understand and follow His program faithfully because He is mighty wise provider of rules that regulates all affairs properly. 5) Likewise We sent Moses speaking language of his human community with Our manifesto with goals and guideline saying, lead your people out of darkness of utter ignorance whereby they inflict harms and destructions upon each other with help of light of wisdom to make them strive hard to be an organised and regulated proper human community based upon Our guidance for bringing about days of prosperity through progress for themselves through peace and unity among themselves. Surely in that are proofs about the truth of the message for those who would be steadfast in working for their own well being by using what is provided for them appropriately. Here people must see what Moses came to do with people and how he did it. He did not turn his people into rulers, mullahs and money lenders but into a community that looked after each other. He eliminated use and abuse of people by each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. This is exactly what each and every messenger of Allah did among his people. Some messengers of Allah were more successful than others but most successful was the final messenger because before he died he left a powerful kingdom based upon guidance of Allah behind that spread yet far after him within a few decades. This kingdom collapsed because Muslims became negligent in maintaining it properly. This ummah collapsed soon after that because opportunists took over the ummah and used and abused people at will ie the ummah was dismantled and replaced with so called Muslim imperialism. Something the Muslims ummah must condemn and return to its original way of life or there is no end to its troubles that surround it from all angles. It is all due to Muslims rulers, money lenders and mullahs but ummah is not yet ready to accept this reason for its fall. So long as it does not, troubles among Muslims in form of so many different kinds of divisions cannot be gotten rid of. The first thing that needs to be kicked out of Muslims ummah is mullaism, because they are the very first line of defence for rulers and money lenders. Once mullahs are gone it will be easy for people to see what rulers and money lenders are up to. Rulers and mullahs are two strong arms for defence of money based way of life where by some people use the rest of humanity abusively. 6) Call to mind the time when Moses said to his people, strive hard always to maintain the kingdom based upon blissful, dignifying and secure life providing guidance of Allah as an obligation upon you as a nation whereby He saved you from the people of Pharaoh who subjected you to painful suffering by undermining your courageous people through your useless people by bringing about divisions among you thereby turned you into a worthless people. Surely during all this time you were put through a tremendous struggle by your glorious Creator and Sustainer to rise again as a proper human community. These verses clearly show that a proper program with goals and guidelines is absolutely necessary for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of a people as well as fully committed effort by people themselves who want to achieve the goals. Anything less than that is shear hypocrisy because it gives bad name to guidance of Allah as well as people who are actually committed to right goals according to proper guidelines. These verses also make clear that deen of Islam is not at all about pooja paat ie make beliefs and useless rituals. It is a plan for thoughts and actions with an end goal. 7) Remember when your Creator and Sustainer warned you that if you will work according to My program for your unity, peace, progress and prosperity as a community then I will let that increase for you but if you will instead oppose My program then I will let you face results of your own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions strictly in form of harms and destructions that you inflict upon each other. 8) Moreover Moses made it absolutely clear to you that if you and all the people dwelling in the world ignored His program, it will do no harm to Allah but it will instead destroy your own future. 9) Has the account of those gone before not reached you such as the people of Noah, Aad, Thamud and those who came after them? No one really knows them other than Allah. Their messengers also came to them with same clear program with goals and guidelines for them but they bit their hands with their mouths in rage and said, we certainly reject and fiercely oppose the guidance with which you claim to have been sent because we very much doubt the message to which you invite us is really from Allah for our well being. People are still very much ignorant in huge numbers and say the same thing about the guidance of Allah that was said by people long before them ie the way of life advised by Allah is no use for us. Who were these people and who are these people today? Rulers, mullahs and money lenders who ensure they control weaker people by using their tricks and mechanism to use and abuse them at will. This is why till mullahs and rulers are pushed aside today, it is not possible to get at money lenders because these two groups provide them with foolproof security if you like. To oppose rulers and mullahs people need to have some education as to how things work so that they could become rational thinkers and therefore could figure out the connection between rulers, mullahs and money lenders. It is very difficult therefore to get through to masses when all mediums of power rest in hands of rulers, mullahs and money lenders. There are ways to overcome these difficulties because the messengers of Allah have done it again and again from Adam to Muhammad. However, there has not been much success since after the final messenger because ummah has been moved away from the Quran and put on story books to get knowledge of mazhab instead of deen. Religious Muslims have become very dangerous for all because they have lost their capacity to think rationally so they take anyone as their enemy due to using the Quran and the Hadees as instruction manuals that need no thinking and working out. So people who have divided humanity are gradually becoming more and more victims of their self-created monsters. It is not going to be easy to de-indoctrinate them and re-humanise after dehumanising them though indoctrination based upon make beliefs and useless rituals. This is a lesson for mankind to not to tamper with human mind in a wrong way or do not complain what happens after that. The whole world is confused and in a chaos not knowing where troubles are coming from and hitting them hard. 10) Their messengers responded, have you really any reasonable doubt about the goodness of guidance of Allah Who is the originator of the heavens and the earth? He is the One Who invites you to His program with goals and guidelines and all necessary proofs so that He relieves you and protects you from the harms and destructions that you inflict upon each other to give you blissful, dignified and secure future through His message for unity, peace, progress and prosperity for a set period of time as determined by His set-up universal systems and laws. They said, you are only a human being like ourselves and you only wish to turn us away from our rulers whom our forefathers have been serving always. Bring us some miracle that we demand if you want us to change our minds about you and your allegedly God given message. 11) Their messengers replied to them, it is true that we are humans like yourselves but Allah bestows His message for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind on any of His people who are only too pleased to work for His set out mission. It is not up to us to bring you any miracles as you demand due to your ignorance but to deliver you whatever proofs Allah himself sees fit to furnish you with and He has chosen the guidance itself for that purpose. This is why people should learn to understand the message properly to implement it faithfully for their own unity, peace, progress and prosperity. 12) So tell us what better reason do we really have not to rely upon universal systems and laws set-up by Allah when He has guided us to live our lives in a way that can bring us a bright future through unity, peace, progress and prosperity as a brotherhood of mankind working for well being of each other as oppose to working against each other? We will certainly face your persecution with steadfastness till Allah shows both of us who fairs better in the end, the family working as one like us or a divided family that is stuck in rivalries with each other like you leading itself to its destruction. So let those who want to rely on anything rely upon set-up systems and laws of Allah for their bright future. Again and again the Quran tried to help people think why the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other is not the way to bright future for human community. It is because it is based upon the idea of a few people at the top using and abusing all the rest for their own personal agendas. This is what opens the door to all sorts of ways to corruption and manipulation. To think that by adopting a way of life based upon foundation of use and abuse a people can live in peace with each other is nothing less than utter stupidity this is why rulers, mullahs, money lenders their touts and supporters are most stupid people in the world. They are using all ways and means at their disposal to confuse people and create chaos yet truth in this regard is so obvious and staring mankind in the face always. 13) Finally the rejecters and opponents of Our guidance, the harmful and destructive ruling elite, money lending and religious leadership of the people said to their messengers and supporters, abide by our traditional rule or we will cut you off from our land. That is why their Creator and Sustainer revealed His forecast to them as law of consequences that We will let these harmful and destructive people destroy themselves through inflicting harm and destruction upon each other because this is how We deal with people who refuse to take Our advice and instead choose to do as they please to each other for their personal gains at the expense of each other. If mankind look around today they will see happening that which is told in this verse ie people are keep fighting with each other over their rights and responsibilities and keep dividing land and resources and means of production and distribution between them by force through bloody revolutions and wars. All because some people do not wish to share things peacefully and rightfully belonging to all with each other faithfully. This forces some people to speak against others and then they turn to armed struggles against each other and so a people keep dividing one after the other. People who divide originally fall victims to same thing again and again. Even those who get freedom from their mother community become like them when they deal with each other in their own piece of land so it is a clear proof that nation states are not the answer to human problems but brotherhood of humanity is the answer wherein all people lookafter each other instead of trying to dominate each other by undermining each other and thereby spilling a lot of blood. Same thing happened to kingdoms that were set up by messengers of Allah ie after they left their people on the path of unity, peace, progress and prosperity their people neglected maintenance of their community based kingdoms so they fell apart and ended up same as other people. The very same happen to kingdom that was brought about by final prophet Muhammad ie his followers also became slack and made mistakes and that gave way to what happen to ummah after wards and so things have been getting bad to worse for ummah ever since. This situation can only be reversed by coming back to deen of Allah and doing things that are supposed to be done instead of following make beliefs and useless rituals. Looking back in time people were brought together by force as clans, tribes, kingdoms and empires and then everything fell apart because empires could not sustain themselves on basis of force and conspiracies took place which split them apart and are still splitting people apart. However people once again are seeing the need for unity but this time they are looking for unity on basis of peace for progress and prosperity as a human community which was missing in the struggles in the past. This time unity of mankind will work out fine if they came together on basis of an acceptable program with goals and guidelines. If you live together for looking after each other, there is no way you want to split ever from each other but if you come together to use and abuse each other then there is no way you can remain together for long. This is why people need to get to know the basis for their existence so that they could make smart knowledge based decisions. 14) That is how We have passed on the land to you to dwell therein after they are gone by destroying each other. This is a lesson for such people as keep in their minds role of My guidance for their own well being as a proper human community and pay attention to My forewarning always. 15) As is made obvious for mankind by My message and the events of the past, rejecting My program and opposing it without due consideration always proved costly for every tyrant and oppressor of his people and also for his supporters and followers. 16) Such as any who spread hell all around himself whereby he became entrapped due to satisfying his thirst for hatred and bloodshed of his own people. Word SADEED is from roots SWAAD, DAAL and DAAL and SWAA DAAL and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to avoid something for some reason. Also to move away from something, to evade, to stop from doing something, to make noise, to agitate, to campaign against something, to raise voice against something, to rise up against something, to put a stop to something from happening, to prevent, prevention, boiling hot water, puss, dripping water or liquid, hot water poured over living things to kill them, dripping water that contains blood from a wound, to take a side turn, to turn away from, to shun, to be averse, to cause someone to turn away from something, to go back, to reject, blockage, to block, hinder or hindrance, to clap with hands, to disdain, to show rejection, impeding or impedance, resistance, to bar, intense thirst, echo, to soothe, to coax, to endeavour, human corpse, a dead human body, skull, to accost, to confront, to give full attention, to speak the truth, to say the right thing etc etc. 17) Such a person partook in it more and more due to increase in his rage but never reached the point of satisfaction and defeat and destruction gradually surrounded him more and more from all sides yet he did not give up his harmful and destructive ambitions and desires despite his being surrounded by terribly painful suffering. Word YATAJARRA-UH is from root JEEM, RAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to swallow something bit by bit with great difficulty. Also to take difficult steps bit by bit, to do something to increase rage bit by bit, to tighten the trap or net bit by bit, to worsen a situation bit by bit, to fall into a trap bit by bit, to take in water or some liquid sip by sip, to take the bitter medicine bit by bit, to take a remedial action gradually in steps, to take something in by mouth with great difficulty and discomfort, to swallow the bitter pill bit by bit, to swallow the pride, to suffer the hardship or difficulty that worsens bit by bit, to cut something into pieces to separate it into pieces, to gather pieces together after cutting or breaking something into pieces, a hard or rocky piece of land, a twisted bow, a have very little quantity of water to drink to quench the thirst, barren land that does not hold water, to drink or sip, to gulp down, a mouthful of drink, to gulp down something unpleasant, something that can neither be swallowed easily nor spilt out, something disliked or hated etc etc. Word YUSEEGHUH is from root SEEN, WOW and GHAIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to swallow something easily and pleasantly. Also to go down the throat pleasantly, to be agreeable to swallowing, to travel at large, to follow one another in birth, to find something palatable to swallow, permissible, to swallow food easily and pleasantly, something that helps take food down the throat easily, pleasant food or drink, the day that passes pleasantly, something satisfying, something tasty, something liked or loved etc etc. 18) The likeness of the hard works of those who gathered benefits for themselves at the expense of proper human community in opposition to the message of their Creator and Sustainer is like that of small amount of gathered particles of dust which the wind scatters on a stormy day when it blew leaving no trace of them to be seen unable to bring about any vegetation. They will get nothing from their such hard works against each other in opposition to Our guidance save harm and destruction or pain and suffering for themselves and this is what straying far away from the way of life advised by their Creator and Sustainer means for them, that is an unsatisfied and regrettable life. The Quran gives plenty of explanations for helping people understand things. Here the example is given of a bit of soil on a rock in the sense that in general in the good soil grows plantation for food of mankind and other living things but if the same soil is bereft of proper foundation it brings no vegetation when rain falls because instead it is blown away by stormy weather. This stormy weather is human social environment which heats up as more and more people use and abuse each other for their personal gains instead for working for each other. So when bloody revolutions come about as a result all the monuments people build to show their glory disappear and bitter reality of their thoughts and actions becomes fully exposed. So people end up cursing them for their atrocities against humanity instead of praising their personal achievements. This is why living by a way of life that truly brings out individual talent and lasting contribution is much better than short lived lives for personal gains at the expense of humanity. The Quran keeps mentioning the names of past people who have done something for humanity that humanity could be proud of even today. So people if they wish to make real history then they will have to adopt the way of life that will keep their good names for ever in hearts of mankind with love and respect. 19) Can you therefore not see that Allah has evolved all the galaxies including this galaxy based on universal systems and laws for a set purpose? If He has planned to replace you the same way it is only for bringing about change for the better through new generations This verse is drawing attention to the fact that God has brought about this universe on basis of systems and laws, processes and mechanisms that hold true for the set purpose always. One important point to consider in this regard is how humanity changes from generation to generation and how that results in bringing about other changes in the world for the better. 20) So it should be obvious to mankind that it is not at all difficult for the set-up mighty systems and laws of Allah to fulfil His objective as planned. The world regardless what people think and do is designed to move in a certain direction told about in the Quran so it will keep on moving in that direction always because Allah has designed it for fulfilling his own objective. This is why people must look at the message of the Quran in that context. The observations about this universe by mankind fully agree with the way things are explained in the Quran if we at all care to know this fact. 21) Rest assured by way of these set-up systems and laws in time gradually all people will be brought under the rule of law of Allah to abide by because from among the opponents of Our rule the influenced masses will start waking up asking questions of those who think of themselves as overwhelmingly influential saying, we have been installing and living by your rule all our lives so can you do anything to free us from the painful suffering we are in that Allah warned us against? They will reply, had we learned from the message of Allah then we could have guided you too. Since we did not so it makes no difference now whether we panic or bear the consequences of our actions with patience because there is no escape for us unless we learn the message and mend our ways accordingly. Here the Quran predicts a situation that will eventually arise among mankind that people who could not stand up for themselves and face the dominant people among them will gradually come round to a stage whereat they will start asking very important questions of their leaders in form of rulers, money lenders and mullahs as to why all this harm and destruction is happening to them and how they stop it. Eventually rulers and money lenders and mullahs will run out of their tricks and mechanisms to fool and continue abuse masses. At the time they will have no other way to escape but to come clean that they have been fooling their people for their personal gains at their expense. It will then be up to masses how they will deal with them. The only way out for all will be to accept the way of life advised by Allah and in future keep to it. 22) That is how the harmful and destructive leadership will conclude in the end saying to its masses, surely Allah promised you results of your actions and promise of Allah proved true and in opposition to that I too promised you things but I could not fulfil my promise to you as I had no real power to do so. I just asked you to take me for your ruler and you just accepted my rule without ensuring whether I had the power to deliver things or not. So do not blame me for taking advantage of you instead blame your own stupidity for giving yourselves into my control blindly. I am not bothered with your moaning just as you are not bothered with my crying. I now refuse to be your ruler like before because such transgressors end up in painful suffering as we have experienced ourselves already 23) and as we have learned by now, those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and strive hard to mend rifts between mankind to bring peace between them and help them develop and prosper will indeed end up in kingdoms within which will flow like rivers all things of their need and desire to live therein according to the plan of their Creator and Sustainer. That is how they will accomplish mission of peace and security of mankind. 24) Do you not see how Allah shows similarity between the program that gradually leads mankind to unity and peace through progress and prosperity with a tree that gradually develops from a seed into a fully grown up tree bearing desirable fruit because it is rooted properly in the ground that is why it is healthy and fruitful with branches well spread and high above the ground? 25) It yields its fruits in every season due to set-up universal systems and laws by its Creator and Sustainer. Allah cites these like examples for people so that they struggle hard to spread His manifesto to gather people together on basis of His constitution for their peaceful, progressive and prosperous future. 26) Likewise the likeness of a harmful goal with harmful plan of actions is like that of a harmful tree with poisonous fruit that fails to develop properly because it is not rooted properly so it can be pulled out of the ground and is therefore unstable. The mindset, attitude and behaviour of harmful and destructive people is like that of a tree with poisonous fruit because despite all its harms and destructions it fails to eradicate the goodness in the human world and in the end such a tree is bound to perish and the goodness in mankind is bound to succeed regardless of rotten people in the world. A clear challenge for rulers, money lenders and mullahs to do their worst and see if they can force an y change in plan of Allah regarding the direction in which this world is going. A clear proof that such words could never come from a human being, they are words of someone who knows how capable human being are and what they are unable to do, so evil or harmful and destructive power has no stability or durability in this world according to the book of Allah. On the other hand people upon guidance of Allah are bound to become stable and durable in due course as time marches on. This being the case the challenge for rejecters adn opponents of guidance of Allah is to eliminate such people from the world if they can. In fact the more people divide each other the more they are hit from all sides not knowing who hit them and why. It is a very simple logic that you create more factions among mankind the more troubles you create for more number of people in the world so you end up with more unstable world for yourselves. 27) With His program based upon firmly established foundation, Allah makes those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind stable and durable in this life and he will do the same for them in the life that is yet to come but Allah lets the opponents of His program stray as they wish because Allah does things according to His plan. 28) Have you not become aware of mindset, attitude and behaviour of such people who have substituted blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program of Allah with their make beliefs and useless rituals whereby they bring their human population to a dead end or in a market where there are no buyers or land them in a state of no return? Word BAWAAR is from root BAA, WOW and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a piece of land that cannot be cultivated. Also a piece of land that is useless for farming, a place where nothing can grow, barren land, something dead or worthless, a market place deprived of customers or buyers, something that is unwanted and useless, something that does not work, a pathway that leads nowhere, dead end, a state of no return, a street blocked at both ends, jammed, a state of stagnation, a girl that awaits a marriage offer but none is coming forth, a divorcee whom no one wants to marry, a people who produce or market something nobody wants, to be in a great loss, to be in a destructive situation, lazy people, untrained or uneducated or uncultivated or uncultured people, demise, to perish, corrupt, stagnant, fall, decline, to meet with a bad end, to come to nothing, to be unprofitable, lost, ruined, condemned, doomed etc etc. These verses again and again tell individuals to open their eyes as regard who is leading them and tell them to ensure that no such person is their leader in any capacity who is going to lead them into life of stagnation and regression because result will be a life full of ignorance, poverty and disease. If people do not learn sense to see how important leadership is for them then they will not be able to choose proper leaders and end result will be a life of hell. The primary sign of a harmful and destructive leadership is that it grabs and hides what Allah has provided for mankind to benefit from as its personal gain and likewise if a people live by this system then they are bound to end up with this kind of leadership. The system has to be proper, leadership has to be properly based upon that foundation and masses will also have to be based upon the same secure foundation only then all will be fine. If a system gives individuals advantage at the expense of community, if leadership is based on this mentality of personal gains or if people think it is fine to work for personal gain at the expense of each other then in due course the whole thing is going to end up in hell. It is because each person will grab whatever one can from the other and law and order will mean nothing as people take away rights of each other by various ways and means. One can therefore see that that is not the right way to live. This is why people must learn about proper system, proper leadership and proper following and be part of that or be ready to accept life in hell because there is no alternative to that. Burying the head in the ground or shutting one’s eyes to the facing problems is not a solution instead being ready to tackle facing problem is mindset, attitude and behaviour people need. 29) Hell is the situation they land themselves in wherein their energies are continuously consumed without any beneficial results, a terrible state of existence to be in. These verses clearly tell mankind what religions do to people ie their make beliefs and useless rituals consume their energies and leave them to die painful death because they fail thereby to produce what they need to survive. Therefore the end result is self destruction due to all sorts of poverty and diseases. Ignorance, illiteracy and lack of education bring all sorts of problems for humanity. Religions make people waste their precious time in unproductive things therefore humanity fails to produce what it needs to live on. So called holy men of God beg for living and sit and praise the Lord, something they are told not to do because it brings bad name for God. How could God tell people to not to do things they need to do to survive because that is the way God created them? However rulers, money lenders and mullahs created make beliefs and useless rituals to lead people away from actual message of God. The result is then a very confused public that cannot come back to its senses due to thinking it is doing something good ie praising the Lord. How can one be doing anything wrong when one is only praising the Lord? In fact it t is a most harmful and destructive thing people can do to themselves in the name of God and all due to lack of proper sense as told by God himself. If it was only for praising the Lord Allah had created mankind, things could be accepted but the message of the Quran is life comes first and survival thereafter and appreciation of Allah only comes after one has lived his life according to his revealed way of life. Guidance of Allah revolves around survival of humanity not around praising the Lord. Glory of Allah shines through all by itself when mankind use his guidance to make this world a beautiful place for themselves as guided by Allah. It shows how great is Allah who has designed this world and humanity in it to make it beautiful through their own creativity using their God given brains, senses, bodies and all other things. The Quran exposes all tricks and mechanisms of rulers, money lenders and mullahs yet people fail to see all this. The Quran cannot show what is true and proper to people who do not want to know things or do not want to make needed efforts for it. The light is useless for people who want to walk on a path with their eyes shut. 30) The ruling elite, the money lending elite and the religious elite have set up ways of life in opposition to way of life advised by Allah to mislead people from His path. Tell them, you the elite may enjoy yourself at the expense of your masses for a while but your final destination as a people is going to be painful suffering and destruction by hands of each other due to fire of your mutual hatred for each other. 31) Say to supporters of My advised way of life who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, strive hard using this Quran publicly and privately for establishing a community supportive network for opening up for all whatever We have provided for the well being of mankind as a proper human community before there comes the time when peaceful change of the system is no longer the option because there is no more tolerance between people and violent bloody uprising becomes inevitable. 32) By establishing the way of life advised by Allah let people know that it is Allah alone Who has evolved all the galaxies including the solar system in this galaxy and causes water to rain down from the height whereby He brings forth all sorts of fruits for your sustenance. He has made it possible for you to use ships so that they sail through the sea by way of His set-up universal systems and laws and so has He brought about rivers for your service. Verses like this tell people that Allah has created everything for mankind but to benefit from all this man has to learn things. Without learning about things man cannot benefit from anything at all. One has to think till man had learned how to domesticate animals could he use them to benefit of them himself? No. He had to learn farming and planting gardens by observing nature and copying it. So long as man keeps learning he will keep expanding his influence throughout the universe as explained in the Quran. If it was not the plan of God that man will one day grow up enough that he will be able to manage the whole of universe then what will be the point of creating him? If we look at vast space in the universe, the earth seems nothing at all in there, so the earth is just the beginning of mankind to have a place and time for training till man has learned to leave the earth for travelling through the rest of the universe. Man is created for travelling the universe by way of his own creativity. If we look back did we ever think one day we will be able to set foot on the moon? Likewise travelling throughout universe seems impossible today but that is not what the Quran tells us, it tells us that man is created for the purpose of managing the vast universe so that he truly appreciates greatness of his creator and sustainer. 33) Even the sun and the moon are subjected to His universal systems and laws moving along set out courses and likewise is subjected to His laws the phenomenon of the night and the day for your benefit. 34) He has given you all that you will ever need and more, so much so that even if you decided to use the abundant provisions of Allah, you could never be able to use them all yet mankind are going about doing things the wrong way by ignoring and opposing Our program that leads to blissful, dignifying and secure life. The Quran here explains that world out there is big enough to accommodate mankind for ever with all things mankind could ever need yet it is mankind who need to learn how to live properly in this world otherwise even this huge world is not enough for any two people who are hell bent on destroying each other for trying to dominate each other by trying to undermine each other. In other words people can make this world as small as they want or as big as they want. It is just a matter of having right or wrong mindset, attitude and behaviour towards each other. 35) Remember the time when Abraham said, My Creator and Sustainer! Make this dwelling place for humanity a place of unity and peace through guidance for their progress and prosperity thereby protect and secure me and my ideological following from personality cults whereby some take others as their rulers due to ignorance and blind following. Word ASNAAM does not mean idols but rulers on basis of power, wealth or religion and they are called idols because of stagnation and regression they bring upon their people by shutting their people off from education, progress and prosperity in order to secure their own rule over masses. The more these dominant people keep others ignorant and useless the more these masses feel dependent upon their rulers and so more easily masses can be used and abused at will by their rulers and priests or money lenders etc. So if mankind are kept from development then they are bound to suffer painful consequences ie they cannot even produce enough to eat let alone do anything else while human population keeps increasing. This is why masses must become alert and stay alert if they do not wish to live in painful suffering. Therefore any system, any leadership, any following that holds humanity back from unity, peace, progress and prosperity is self harming and self destructive and must be avoided at all costs. Human society needs proper planning and set-up as well as organisation and regulation so that human population and resources as well as means of production and distribution could be managed properly for the well being of mankind. All this must ensure efficiency as well as sufficiency through a chain of command be it horizontal or vertical as explained already. Without doing all this mankind cannot run a small family or a company properly never mind running a country or the world full of people. This verse in particular is telling mankind to become knowledgeable by becoming literate and educated and do not settle for less like a child who gets happy with a small toy. Mankind are created to do great things and that is why they are given brains and senses as well as bodies and a world full of useful things to make use of to accomplish the goals they have been set by their creator and sustainer. Moreover you can only reflect glory of your creator if you could accomplish something worth accomplishing that makes the creator proud of you. Merely sitting in a jungle and saying Allah is great does not make Allah look great. Empty words mean nothing that is why make beliefs and useless rituals are condemned repeatedly by the Quran. One cannot prove someone is wealthy without someone displaying one’s wealth before those to whom one wants to prove one is wealthy. If someone sits there and keep repeating words so and so is wealthy it means nothing at all. Likewise saying Allah exists and he is powerful and all the rest is meaningless if people are unaware of things that prove all this. This is why people should stop and think what they are really doing by blindly following rulers, money lenders and mullahs who are actually responsible for their painful suffering. When Abraham says this place it means, the place where he is or this world wherein people live. It does not mean any particular temple or house of prayer etc. If anything it means the centre of management for all affairs where from the administrations set-up by the ummah fulfil their given tasks by the ummah as explained already. Of course any such places that were used by past people are part of history and nothing more and should not be taken as things for worship. As explained already the constitution is supreme and all people and institutions come under constitution but the right of interpretation of the constitution rests with ummah as a whole and it has to be in light of real world realities and facing ground realities. Once an agreed interpretation is available then all must live and abide by it be they individuals or institutions or administrations put in place by ummah. 36) My Creator and Sustainer! Chiefs and Priests of nations have been using the individuals to rule their people and thereby led the masses away from Your program into their cults therefore only those who follow me in following Your guidance belong to my community and as to any who oppose me, they are bound to end up destroyed by hands of each other because You are protector of only those of the mankind who follow Your blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program. 37) Our Creator and Sustainer! I have settled some of my ideological following among a populace that is not yet civilised according to Your blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program, constitution and law. Our Creator and Sustainer! I have done this in the hope that they establish Your ruling system therein by spreading Your program therefore turn the minds of the people of the nations toward them for guidance and provide them with beneficial results of their beneficial thoughts and actions for the well being of mankind so that they all become a united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous people by using what You have provided them with properly. This verse explains it clearly that all people who do not learn proper use of provided things are uncivilised or lawless and all people who learn to live by a law that teaches people how to use things properly are civilised and cultivated. Good law and good people go hand in hand. So people who wish to have good life must go for good law otherwise they cannot have a good life no matter how much they may desire it. Desires do not fulfil all by themselves they need to be worked for because you only get what you earn ie make effort for. If one reads the Quran for its proper understanding, one finds the Quran far, far ahead of human thinking. It is like you are travelling somewhere and the Quran is already there. This is how it proves beyond a shadow of doubt that it is not book which could have been written by people. It is because people could not think that far ahead. The main reason is, before anyone could look towards something one has to be stimulated through senses. The world to come is not something that people can see with their eyes or hear with their ears. So if something was beyond human thinking then how could they write about it and be perfect at that? 38) Our Creator and Sustainer! Certainly You expose our real motives behind our thoughts and actions that we try to hide from each other by results of our own action in due course as well as those motives which we try to make obvious to each other because nothing is hidden from set-up systems and laws of Allah in the earth or the rest of the universe. 39) Therefore it should be clear for the mankind that sovereignty belongs to Allah alone Who for advancement of my mission has granted me support through Ishmael and Isaac. Surely my Creator and Sustainer takes care of all needs of all things according to His set-up plan. 40) For that reason O my Creator and Sustainer! Give me and my ideological supporters courage through Your program, constitution and law to establish and maintain the proper community supportive network. Our Creator and Sustainer! Continue making our invitation to Your advised way of life attractive and acceptable for mankind. 41) Thereby our Creator and Sustainer secure me and my dependents old and young who are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind so long as they hold on to your set standard of judgement for their thoughts and actions. 42) Therefore O my people, be well prepared for the mission of Allah and never let rejecters and opponents of His program think that Allah is unaware of harms and destructions they inflict upon each other. His set-up systems and laws only give them respite from the results of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions to correct themselves and that is only till the tipping point is reached when their eyes will become stuck in wide open state due to they being struck by terror of sudden uprising that will overwhelm them because of what they will have been doing to each other. Word TASHKHAS is from root SHEEN, KHAA and SWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is at a height as compared to its surrounding. Also anything that is raised high, a wound when it swells and rises in comparison to its surrounding, something that is visible from a distance due to being high, the arrow that misses its target by going higher than the target, to remain open or become stuck in an open position, the body of a being, prominently elevated entity, to materialise, to be transfixed, to be fixedly open, to raise, to go forth, glazed, starring in horror etc etc. 43) They will be running around in chaos and confusion with their heads raised high and eyes transfixed in fear, staring but seeing nothing and their minds utterly vacant of any thoughts as to what they should do to save themselves from prevailing situation of harm and destruction. Word MUHTIEEN is from root HAA, TWAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to act in state of fear. Also to come rushing in fear, to stretch the neck and head in agitation, to transfix the eyes in horror, to cower in fear, a wide road, mindless rushing with stretched necks, hastening in anxiety, to run fast towards something in fear, to approach something while keeping focused one’s eyes on something, to obey or follow something out of fear etc etc. Word MUQNIEEis from root QAAF, NOON and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is a piece of cloth with which women use cover their heads. Also head scarf, anything with which a person covers his head, to keep one’s need hidden from someone, protection given to a chief or head of a tribe or state, protection given by a chief to someone, to be content, one who is happy with whatever one receives as his share in a partnership of some sort, one who survives on leftovers of others, a beggar who does not insist on being given something but remains content whatever he gets, to turn to others for one’s needs, to raise one’s head high when walking, to walk with pride, to walk with one’s head hanging down as if in shame, to turn mouth of a pot in a stream for water to fill in it, turning of animal towards its grazing field, the chaos and confusion that takes place among a people after defeat in a battle, to run away in state of confusion from the battle field after defeat etc etc. 44) Therefore O messenger, alert mankind about the time when Our forewarned consequences of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other will overtake them and that is when the inflictors of harms and destructions upon each other will say, our Creator and Sustainer! Give us a little more respite and we will respond to Your invitation with all due respect and support the people who come to us with your program. But it will be said to them, are you not the same people who once swore that you will never come to your destruction due to what you believe and do 45) despite living in places of people who already destroyed each other before you the same way? It was already explained to you how nicely We dealt with them yet due to their own stupidity We made them a lesson for you. 46) They hatched their conspiracies against Our program but their plots were well within grasp of Allah even though these plots were such that could move masses in their support. 47) But never think that Allah will fail to fulfil His promise to His messengers that program of Allah will succeed because Allah rules the universe through power of His wisdom by way of set-up systems and laws to fulfil His plan. The promise of Allah to mankind is fulfilment of his plan as explained by Allah regardless of thoughts and actions of people who do all they can to oppose its fulfilment. 48) So alert people to become aware about the time when socio-political and socio-economic culture or landscape in the world will be changed to a different landscape and the people in positions of power will be brought in line with program, constitution and law of Allah, the One Irresistible. Verses such as this explain the fact that time is coming when all ways of life adopted by mankind will gradually vanish giving way to a new way of life. Before it happens all people in positions of power will come together to save their system in place but will fail terribly and revengeful people will settle their scores with them because that is the way their own set-up system works. Only those people will save themselves who leave that system in time due to awareness and knowledge and join forces against that system for a better way of life for brighter future of humanity. Warnings about coming of that time are repeated throughout the Quran. However as the Quran explains this will only happen when mankind have had enough of their adopted systems of life and have learned their lesson the hard way. Before that time there will keep on taking place bloody revolutions because people will not accept and adopt the Quranic teachings as they ought to accept them with proper understanding and follow them faithfully for their own well being. Since revelation of the Quran many bloody revolutions have taken place and still continue yet people as a whole do not adopt the way of life advised by Allah however each time mankind are coming more and more closer to what the Quran requires of them. This is sure sign of Quran being followed bit by bit, be it due to humanity being forced by each other due to its situations and circumstances. Even though messengers of Allah established kingdom of Allah here and there from the first till the last but they were only exemplary and were very limited area and human population wise as explained already. The final change will happen gradually but throughout the world not just limited in one place among any particular people. The signs are already there for those who have the eyes to see. 49) That is how in time to come you the people will see the committers of crimes against humanity bound together as if in chains rising up together against the rule of law of Allah, 50) their whole program will be wrapped up in doom and gloom because their goals will be covered up in fire of hatred between the mankind. 51) For that reason Allah will make each group of human population face the consequences according to what it thinks and does because Allah is strict in holding all people to His plan regarding their thoughts and actions. 52) This Quran is a manifesto for all the people so alert them thereby and let them know that Allah alone is sovereign in this kingdom of the universe, so let the people of understanding strive hard to spread His program for its implementation as a constitution and law to organise and regulate themselves according to it for their own bright future as a proper human community. |
Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 15 AL-HIJR–The Quran is a bedrock for building a proper human community to bring about a kingdom that provides mankind with a blissful, dignified and secure existence
This Surah is names AL-HIJR from root HAA, JEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something solid in some sense that serves as base for something to rise from. Also rock, room, brain, chamber, something solid, stone, structure, organisation, institution, enclosure, shelter, house, tent, frozen, discerning faculty, a cunning person, limitation, confinement, incompetence, a person with limited capabilities, solid foundation, rocky tract, bumpy road, a place without free access, a recess with controlled entry, a room, room or space, to prohibit, to protect, to stop, a camel shelter or farm, intelligence, ability to think, gold or silver, a clever or shrewd person, brutal or cruel person, tyrant, tyranny, stubborn or arrogant person, people who lack intellectual development, to stone, to destroy something by not giving it due attention or importance, bosom, lap, to deny access, to declare legally incompetent, to freeze, brains, something marked for some purpose or reserved for exclusive use, controlling or restrictive power, stone dwelling, stone city, a dwelling carved in the rack or a mountain, bedroom, dwelling quarter, clumps of hardened mud etc etc. This Surah is named AL-HIJR because it talks about vital importance of solid foundation for building a good human community that is properly based and organised and regulated. To begin with this Surah talks about the Quran itself because before anything else one needs a proper purposeful ideology and plan to build a community based upon it. Then it needs a proper leadership that is capable of helping others understand the goal, the ideology and plan of action. It is because to build a human society one needs help and support of other human beings. This needs very hard work because it involves a lot of information and understanding of that information and then teaching that to others in order to reshape mindset, attitude and behaviour of others to suit the goals and guidelines. So this Surah takes the messenger of God through various important aspects of his mission and then the messenger also has to educate others to educate yet others through them because it is not possible for a divine messenger to reach all individuals directly throughout the world. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1) Alif Laam Raa. These are evidence based arguments for implementation of this brilliant program, constitution and law in form of Quran that can lead mankind to a glorious future. Just a reminder that words used in the Quran have various complementary meanings. Meanings of words are traced back to their origin by researchers of languages as explained already. Further help comes from the contexts and sub-contexts of the text that are decided on basis of their purposes. As explained already, words in the Quran are root based and roots are based on concrete meanings of individual letter from which roots originate. This is why each word ends up with various concepts and meanings. The foundational Quranic context is, it is word of Allah because so it claims. This context is decided on basis of its claim ie it claims to be word of creator and sustainer of this universe ie Allah. It is therefore wrong for anyone to investigate it on basis of any other context. The reason for that is, till anyone claims anything about anything we have no reason to investigate anything at all ie trigger for any kind of investigation has to be there before the need arises for investigating anything. In other words if we have no reason to start an investigation then we never start an investigation. Only if someone raises any claim or accusation or a trigger is available for an investigation that prompts us to start investigation about it that we start investigation into a claim. For example, till someone comes to police saying the murder has taken place the police has no reason to look into the matter. However when allegation is raised then it is up to investigative authority to take action on that basis. The other point is that this action the authority takes has to be about the claim that has been raised. It is not right to ignore the claim and do something else instead because then claims cannot be decided because it has not been investigated. Likewise if anyone wishes to talk about the Quran, one has to know it as thoroughly as practically possible so that one does not talk rubbish about it or arrives at a wrong conclusion due to lack of knowledge about it. If the Quran claims to be word of Allah then people have no reason to investigate it for not being the word of Allah. However if investigation fails to prove it word of Allah then other possibilities could be considered and investigated to see any other reasonable explanation for the existence of the Quran but not otherwise. So people who claim the Quran is not word of Allah but of a human being but they have never investigated the Quran for what it claims to be they have no right to say things about the Quran which are not true. This point is of vital importance for people to realise. This point also explains why to begin with the Quran must be taken or must be assumed as word of Allah before anything else. After taking the Quran in context of a word of Allah, all words in the Quran must be given meanings that are consistent with this context or it will not be correct interpretation of the text. Likewise the Quran claims to be book for deen of Islam and not for mazhab of Islam therefore that context too is necessary to adhere to. This is how contexts within context help us narrow down meanings of the text of the Quran. This explanation also proves beyond a shadow of doubt why it is not possible to translate the Quran word for word because words used this way fail to convey the message intended by the text of the Quran. It is because all these ideas have been ignored by interpreters of the Quran deliberately therefore ummah has ended up in a state of confusion about the message of the Quran. I say deliberately because these principles explained here have been explained already by interpreters of the Quran yet they misinterpreted the Quran, why? It seems so called Muslim rulers, Muslim money lenders and Muslim mullahs have worked together to make fool of this ummah so that could use and abuse it just the kufaar. All this ummah needs to condemn and move on so that Muslims could start a new life as a proper ummah based upon the teachings of the Quran and bring humanity real hope of salvation. 2) The time is coming when those who reject and oppose this program, constitution and law will wish they acted upon it for their own peace and security. 3) Leave these self centred leaders and supporters who participate and interact in the human world for personal gains at the expense of each other because they are deluded by harmful and destructive ambitions and desires but soon they will come to know and regret the ways they live their lives as they are gradually led to self destruction. Word AMAL is from root ALIF, MEEM and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to have desire for travelling to a far off place. Also to hatch farfetched ideas, to be impractical, to promise something one cannot deliver, to live in cloud cuckoo land, to think of doing things impossible to do, make belief, a mound of sand, to hold onto an idea and take time think over it, to wait in expectation for something to happen, to hope or long for something or something to happen, to give something a real good thought, to have unlimited desires and ambitions or hopes, to have such desire that cannot be fulfilled or satisfied, a very long and broad distinct sand dune, to ascertain, to discriminate, to mull over, to hope or desire, expectations, to build castles in the air, unrealistic ambitions and desires, whims etc etc. 4) Never did We let any population of a region destroy itself but its term of life was determined by set-up systems and laws according to its own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions. 5) No people can bring their self destruction sooner nor can they delay it but as per Our set-up systems and laws. Allah has set-up all things in this universe according to his own plan for his own purpose so nothing can happen that could cause any change in plan of Allah otherwise goal of Allah cannot become fulfilled. Events are based upon conditions so when their set conditions are met the events told in the Quran take place otherwise they do not. If you put your hand in fire it will burn but if you do not then it will not burn. The choice rests with people to a degree to do something or not to do it, however whatever people do is within set range of Allah’s plan. So if people will do things that will ensure their destruction then that is exactly what will happen and if they will do things that give mankind blissful, dignified and secure existence then that is exactly what will happen. This is what set-up systems and laws of Allah are put in place by Allah to ensure. 6) Despite your making such things clear for them to understand how the world works due to receiving Our revelations they say to you, O you who claim to have received the Quran from Allah for establishing His kingdom in the world according to it for the well being of mankind! You talk nonsense. 7) They also say, if this Quran is revealed to you by Allah for establishing His kingdom in the world for the well being of mankind then why have you not been sent to us with soldiers like a king to enforce its implementation if you are truly of those who claim the truth? 8) Let them know clearly that We do not send Our messengers with soldiers to overwhelm people by force but instead we send Our messengers with Our guidance that is consistent for mankind for living in the real world properly so if We had sent Our messengers with soldiers then they could not have had the needed time gap to go through Our messages thoroughly. 9) Likewise We have revealed this program for mankind to learn and teach each other and think it through thoroughly so that by way of proper implementation of this program We could provide them with blissful, dignified and secure existence. 10) That is the reason We sent messengers before you among the earlier nations the way We have sent you for this people, 11) though there never came to them a messenger from Us but their rulers, money lenders and mullahs took his message for a laugh just as these chiefs and their supporters mock you. 12) Therefore We let such people have things their way because We find them programming themselves with harmful and destructive ambitions and desires ignoring Our guidance so they become stuck with their harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours against each other 13) that is why they do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind because they adopt the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other as was adopted by generations before them. These verses of the Quran should leave none in doubt as to why the human world is the way it is in a terrible state of existence wherein mankind are suffering at hands of each other terribly. It is because it was always run by thugs and criminal mafias who ruled mankind using one or other kind of force in a harmful and destructive way. This is why when the messengers came from Allah they expected similar mindset, attitude and behaviour of them but they did not get it from them so they instead ridiculed them. It is because to learn and teach needs time and thinking in which these like people are never interested. They only understand language of force and it is never far away so in the end they are overwhelmed by it. Such people end up fighting among themselves and also those upon whom they inflict harms and destructions also deliver them what they ask for when they fail to learn sense the sensible way. The Quran does give people time to learn things but if they refuse then antisocial elements are eliminated by society to the extent the human society wants. Rulers, money lenders, mullahs and their touts and supporters are thugs and criminals who devise everyday new ways and means to exploit mankind for their personal agendas. By using their self made constitutions and laws to fulfil their own objectives they dispossess masses that fall under their control due to tricks and traps they use again human community. This is why all such people are owners of huge chunks of land and resources and means of productions and distributions throughout the world. The rest of humanity is either entrapped and enslaved free labour for them or consumer. Even child labour is used as much as possible. There is no recourse to fair and just law and fair application of law. Everything is for sale including people eg you can buy body parts of living people and human trafficking is a huge business. All this is happening to humanity by hands of human beings because they refuse to learn and teach deen of Allah to live by it. The Quran is full of verses how nation after nation ended up destroyed because people used and abused each other for personal gains instead of ensuring well being of each other. When people treat each other like animals and beasts of burdens then how can they expect a better world by continuously living the same way? So it is of vital importance that mankind learn things and think so that they could turn their world round to be a beautiful the way ought to be. This cannot happen unless masses throughout the world join hands against rulers, money lenders, mullahs their touts and supporters. Masses need to start looking at bigger picture in which rulers, money lenders and mullahs operate as one against the masses. There is no other way out of this mess than following the way of life advised by Allah in the Quran. Child abuse not only happens on the streets outside but in churches and mandirs and madrassas and orphanages. Women are not safe nor are men who are weak and poor. Weak and poor countries are suffering at hands of strong and rich countries just like weak and poor individuals are suffering at hands of strong and rich people. Even though there is less use and abuse in stronger and richer countries as compared to weak and poor countries but that is only a smoke screen because the strong and rich countries use and abuse people of weak and poor countries. So thinking that by adopting ways of life of strong and rich countries people of weak and poor countries can become like them is not a the right way to look at the world. For the simple reasons because weak and poor countries are kept in chains by strong and rich countries and even if anyone succeeds one will be becoming an oppressor and suppressor oneself like them which is not the change for better at all. The only way to stop use and abuse culture is to end this culture through making people aware about the message of the Quran. This is why the message of the Quran is masked with nonsense through mullahs so that the Quran appears to mankind as a book of nonsense. This is why mullahs hype up masses against people who unmask their tricks and mechanisms which they use for using and abusing masses. Deen of Islam is not a personality cult but it is turned into that by mullahs for ensuring their status remains secure just like rulers and money lenders who try to eliminate opposition any way they can. 14) They do so despite the fact that We opened a way for them for exploring the universe for higher goals and they keep rising towards those objectives unconsciously Word LAO is from root LAAM and WOW. As a conjunction particle it has various meanings depending upon context eg if, if then, as a result, whether, in case, lest, even if, even though, though, if only, admitting, albeit, despite, despite the fact, even supposing, granting, granting all this, in spite of, much as, notwithstanding, still, yet, however, supposing, when, whereas, while, although, allowing, but, howbeit, why not, as a particle of speech used for expression of a fact or supposition or wish or desire or condition etc etc. Word ZALLOO is from root ZWAA, LAAM and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is shade. Also shield, to protect or to cover something eg a people from being attacked by another people or from other problems that can make life hell, ideological or physical protection, shadow or shade, to seek protection, to continue doing something by day, to remain in a state or condition, status quo, parasol, shelter, to continue, patronage, to become, canopy, barrier, an amount of, a touch of, awning, an overhead covering, surrounding, entourage, influence, standing etc etc. These verses are telling mankind a fact that mankind without being aware are moving in the very same direction of higher goals that Allah has set for them but by reason of interaction between themselves for pursuing their own personal vested interests instead of following guidance of Allah. In other words had people understood the message of Allah properly and followed it faithfully they will have gained much more and in much shorter time and with much less pain and suffering as has been explained already. The reader of this explanation of the Quran must realise the fact that I have explained the Quran after reading it through that is why I explain things in the context they made sense to me but all explanations are from within verses of the Quran. As explained already it is not possible to translate the Quranic text by way of word for word translation because that way the actual message of the Quran cannot be conveyed and this is why those who have done this have caused much more confusion for people who read those transitions and interpretations based on them. Merely knowing a language in its modern form is not sufficient for translation of allegedly divine scriptures that are written in ancient languages. It is because origin and development of languages is a fundamental foundation for understanding their expressions. This is why foundational context of any text of any ancient allegedly divine scripture is origin and development of its language. Beside origin and development of a scriptural language there is another problem and that is use of human language by God. From my explanation of how language came about and evolved it should be very clear that words have many different meanings for various reasons therefore my point that interpretations of scriptures cannot be taken seriously and argued over unless they meet the criterion set for them. As pointed out already we have another serious problem which is, the language is invented by human beings for communication between themselves and it was originally based upon concrete realities in this world. What does that mean? It means people could only give names to things people could sense through their senses and nothing else. If people could not see or hear or taste or smell or feel something they could not give it a name nor attribute to it any action because they could not be aware of its existence or actions. So the original language was free of all kind of manipulation by people because people were simple minded and straightforward people. One may put existence of God in same category but that will be incorrect because case of existence of creator and sustainer is very different than just assuming existence of anything without any rationale behind it. Possibility of existence of God is a very real one and it is impossible to eliminate it as explained already. This being the case the question we should be asking each other is, where did the idea of invisible nonphysical beings like ghosts and angels etc come from which are supposed to be supernatural being or beings with supernatural powers? If people could not sense such invisible things then how could they invent words to give them names? If those people invented some words to name some of the things then that means they were visible things and not invisible ones which they named with these words but later people manipulated language and confused each other for their own reasons. In other words it is later people who manipulated language for their ulterior motives when they became clever enough to do that. This is how they were able to give linguistic basis for their make beliefs and useless rituals. The problem that how could God communicate with people using their language is not a real problems even though if God did not communicate with people in a language they could understand then people could never understand things from God's point of view that God wanted them to understand. It is because people use words to express their own concepts as they understand things and God had to use same words to express his concepts the way things are as he created them. It therefore follows that if God exists then he had to communicate with people because it is not possible for an existing being to not to express itself due to being a living being. A living being has the urge to express itself to make its presence felt otherwise it cannot prove even to itself that it is a living being ie it is a situation similar to that of, I think therefore I am. This is why God created the world and sent revelation in a human language as a way of expressing himself as a living being. This being the case we must therefore become aware of the fact that when we read a scripture which is claimed to be word of God, we must take it at its face value and start investigating it on that basis to see if it is true or false. Why must we investigate an allegedly divine scripture as a word of God? It is because unless there is a claim or an accusation or any prompting we never initiate any investigation about anything at all because we have no reason to do so. If nothing prompts a murder investigation then why should you start a murder investigation to begin with? This is why the Quran must be investigated for its truth because it repeatedly claims to be word of God and challenges mankind to produce a book like it that gives us mankind a way of life that can never be equalled try we may all we can. This is what forces mankind to prepare themselves for a proper investigation of the Quran. It means people who wish to say anything about the Quran first must get all the needed tools for this purpose and then study the Quran properly and see where it leads and if it proves to be a book of proper guidance then accept it otherwise expose it with all findings against it and let people see what is wrong with it and why. Having no sense about things the Quran talks about and making noises against it is very dangerous for mankind because you may well be rejecting and opposing something that is really a lifeline for mankind to a life worth living. This is why we the mankind must read the Quran in its proper contexts or we will never be able to make proper sense of it. When we talk about contexts, one of the contexts is that it is word of God for mankind to make sense of it and follow it if it is found worthy of following. Here the important point to remember is that when God talks about things in the Quran, he is expressing facts as they are because he already knows them. However these facts are not yet known to mankind because they are born knowing nothing at all so they will have to learn things and the Quran both and that will take a lot of time for them and then they will see how the creation and the revelation fit together in light of real world realities. Once mankind become learned enough they will become aware of the fact that the descriptions of the universe and things as told in the Quran will fit together nicely like a jigsaw puzzle and the picture that comes with it for helping to build it. This explanation should be more than enough to prove that people who talk nonsense about the Quran have never studied things that are needed for knowing what the text of the Quran says about things. If one keeps the points I am explaining in mind and reads the Quran then a lot of objections against the Quran will prove mere misunderstandings due to lack of our own knowledge about things. My explanations will also clearly prove to anyone that mullahs' versions of Islam are not founded on the Quranic text. It is because mullahs' Islams are merely make beliefs and useless rituals where as the Quranic Islam is a deen ie a way of life with program for mankind to accomplish a set of goals according to a set of guidelines. The fundamental issue is existence of mankind and their survival according to the Quran. It is because mankind are driven by fear, hunger, thirst and reproduction etc. The purpose of the Quran is to provide mankind with guidance about these things ie how people can live a blissful, dignified and secure life in this world. Guidelines are all about house rules that people should adopt if they wish to end up with a life the Quran promises in this world for which people will also be rewarded in hereafter for their efforts in that direction. People are told they are created with advantages and disadvantages so that together with help of each other they could bring about a life worth living for themselves. This is why the Quran is a manifesto and a constitution as well as a law for helping human community to educate each other and come together and organise as a human community and regulate themselves to make it a proper human community that cares for each other and shares all they need to share for ensuring well being of each other. So that all people together could live properly in this house called the universe with help of each other and with the help of house rules. In other words God has given us guidance and it is up to ourselves to make use of that guidance and do what the guidance tells us to do to get the results the Quran promises, it is simple as that. How does this prove the Quran is word of God? It is because mankind were born ignorant and so far have not learned enough to compare themselves with what we have in the Quran to be able to give mankind a way of life better than this old book. For many other arguments please do read through this work and see if the Quran is powerful enough to convince minds to its claims. Do not let rulers, money lenders and mullahs fool you one way or the other. The Quran is a book of factual statements with many arguments based upon clear evidences and it keeps telling us to use our brains and senses and not be like animals. This is how the Quran proves it is word of God indirectly but with decisive arguments and clear evidences. 15) yet these people say, our eyes are seeing things or rather we the people have been duped for such an experience cannot be real. Word SUKKIRAT is from root SEEN, KAAF and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a state of mind when one cannot think properly. Also intoxication, a state of mental confusion, a state of mind that occurs when in fear or in love or drunk or angry or hit on the head or suddenly surprises in a big way or when one is suffering from sleep deprivation, unconsciousness, a state of mind due to power, to stop a flowing stream, to strangle, stopping of blowing wind, standing water, to put a cover over the eye, loss of sense, state of unawareness, intoxicating drinks, drowsiness, blocking a gap, corking a bottle, alcoholic drink, sweet juice, delirium, tipsiness, lack of awareness, a state of mind that occurs during hypnotic experience, a state of mind that occurs due to illusion or hallucination, a state of mind that gives rise to erroneous perception of reality, an occurrence when mind fails to distinguish between reality and an illusion, a false memory or perception of reality, a false sense of security etc etc. 16) No matter how silly are remarks of these ignorant people due to being unaware about actual realities of the universe the truth is We have brought about in vast space galaxies full of stars and beautifully arranged them in different ways for various purposes for those who will observe them for gaining insight into their origin, purpose and functioning as to how they work to fulfil the plan of Allah. Word BUROOJAA is from root BAA, RAA and JEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is clusters of stars. Also to surround or fill a centre with things for functioning or security or beauty, to surround or fill a castle with watchtowers or light houses or security guards, to surround or fill a city with things that help it function properly or help it to be secure or help it to be beautiful, the security wall around a castle or fort, a state machinery to help a kingdom function properly, something that indicates strength or beauty or proper functioning of something as a complete unit, refuge, shelter, protection, to be visible, something that draws attention to itself, to demonstrate, to indicate, height, prominence, beauty of the eyes, tower, signs of zodiac, fortification, to display beauty, women who display their beauty or charm to entice or attract attention of men to themselves, women who protect themselves against sexual misbehaviour, castle, positions of the sun or moon or planets, constellations, celebrities, galaxies full of stars etc etc. 17) That is how We have originated them, beautifully arranged them to work properly and secured them against any kind of tampering by each and every person with adverse intentions, The universe according to the Quran is a proper unit in itself with everything it contains ie galaxies and solar systems and that is in between them and within them. It functions as a complete system with all processes, mechanisms, forces and laws. It is programmed to work in such a way so that purpose of Allah becomes fulfilled for which it has been created as explained already. Since the Quran explains the reason for which this universe and things in it have been created including mankind therefore if anyone will observes the universe properly and draw conclusion properly one will end up with complete consistency between the observations and what the revealed scriptures tells about things. It is this mindset, attitude and behaviour that will lead mankind to doing things that they are supposed to do as a result of knowledge they will learn from such observations. However, those who will have harmful and destructive ambitions and desires as their guide they will draw alternative conclusions without any real solid foundations but they will be pursued by those who will know things properly therefore they will have to concede their defeat ultimately. Misleading people are well known ie rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters. This includes philosophers, politicians, economists, scientists etc etc. It is because such people will always attribute falsehood to Allah, his books and messengers and their real supporters. It must always be remembered that verses of the Quran have complementary meanings and not all of them are included in this work. It is because that is a far more work than any individual can undertake. This work is mostly about drawing attention of scholars to look into things from deen standpoint rather than from mazhab standpoint. Once such scholars take on such works on the Quran only then there will be a good chance that actual message of Allah will be discovered by humanity and get through to it. For the time being things will continue as they have been till at least some people in the ummah wake up to the actual message of the Quran. One main example for misinterpretation and misrepresentation of information is superstition eg people instead of observing universe to make sense of it are using astrology to predict future for individuals, thus people are spreading confusion instead of clarity. Astrology is a huge business. 18) nonetheless any such person will observe them properly as is overwhelmed by piercing curiosity of their origin, purpose and working. 19) Likewise We expanded the earth and brought about mountains therein and caused in it everything suitable for Our purpose to come about and grow, 20) that is how We provided therein means of sustenance for you and other things for whom you are not responsible to care for them individually. 21) There is nothing which is not in Our storage in an unending quantity and amount but We reveal it to you only as much as you try to discover and use. These verses leave one in no doubt as to what origin, purpose and function of the universe and things in it is. Here we are told that Allah has put there all there is for us but it is we the human beings who will have to learn and discover and use things. Of course the Quran teaches us how to do all this but people do as they wish ignoring the advice of Allah and the result is the world before us. This sort of world will remain in existence till we discover how to live in this world properly, which not possible unless we go though numberless trials or study the scripture as it ought to be studied and follow it. In other words humanity must discover the universe and the scripture for itself because unless it does that there is no chance of blissful, dignified and secure existence for people in this world or the next. 22) We give rise to the fertilizing winds and send down fresh water from the height for you the mankind to drink, it is not right of your rulers, money lenders and mullahs to have the ownership of Our stored. 23) That is how We bring nations to life through Our program and let them perish if they follow it not because to Us alone belongs ownership of all that exists. The Quran does not allow ownership of anything to anyone at all but it allows full use of everything by everyone according to guidelines provided for accomplishing the goals set by Allah for mankind to accomplish. One has to find out what those goals are and how can they be fulfilled by mankind by understanding the message of the Quran. 24) Indeed We make obvious those who rush forth to take control of things from among you to exclude others and We also make obvious those from among you who end up losing as a result of this senseless rivalry. 25) Surely your Creator and Sustainer is going to bring them all together through His this very program and that is why He makes it known to mankind that He alone has the right to own and rule this universe through wisdom. The Quran is revealed so that people of this age come to know that Allah alone is their creator and sustainer and his advised way of life is the only way of life that can help mankind live a blissful, dignified and secure life as a united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous human community in this world with a promise of rewarding life yet to come. 26) We surely brought about human kind ignorant about everything but with ability to learn and do things which needed to be cultivated into a fully civilised human community through Our program like a piece of clay that is like mud which is moulded into a desired shape. Word SASAAL is from root SWAAD, LAAM, SWAAD and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is something from which something is extracted or is brought out. Also dry clay that makes a ringing sound when it is struck, a piece of wet clay from which water has been extracted or squeezed out, something that grows like a plant that is pruned into a shape, uncultivated, uncivilised, raw material, the basic thing, something in its original form not modified yet, noisy, ill mannered, rough, noisy ass, donkey, something unstable, something that rattles or rocks due to unstable foundation, stupid or ignorant person, the sound of a bell, papyrus, papyrus plant, paper, hunt, spear, shepherd, leader, trap, catch, cover, reed, squeezed, extruded, dried, hollow pipe, to extrude, to press, to cover, to roll, to make something follow the rules etc etc. This verse along with various other verses tells us that God evolved man as explained by evolutionary tree of life as for as biological creation is concerned just like any other living thing. However, sociological and psychological evolution of man will continues till mankind reach their full potential generation after generation by means of bit by bit progress because when people are born they know nothing and their brains, senses, bodies and all that is provided for them helps them start learning and doing things. The idea that man was created as a special thing directly by God is totally rejected by the Quran. The idea that man is just another animal is also rejected by the Quran because the Quran gives humanity dignity on basis of potential the mankind have been created with to develop themselves to a higher status of existence. If they fail to develop their God given abilities then they are not just animals but worst of all living things because they lose their God given dignity due to lack of their effort for obtaining their rightful place in this world, however if they develop their abilities and raise themselves to level of dignity then they keep their this place value in this world as well as in hereafter. This is why the Quran condemns such people as worst than all animals who fail to use their brains, senses, bodies and all that is provided for them to rise to their maximum potential not just above animals. In other words a thing is only good and earns its place value or respect if it works for or fits the purpose it is created for. The first stage man must reach is self awareness ie become aware of his own capabilities through trials and errors over years of experience and the second stage is that man must become aware of the universe and rest of things in the universe as to what their origin, purpose is and how they function and fulfil that purpose. This will help man to make use of things but man is not yet a proper human being because man must rise yet another stage and look for divine message for him in order to learn thereby proper use of all things made available to him so that he uses them to be where he ought to be. Once mankind land where they ought to be that is the stage when mankind and God each will become truly consistent and pleased with their accomplishments or deserve complements of each other. 27) As for the harmful and destructive political, economic and religious elite with ambitions and desires to dominate masses through undermining them by way of conspiracies We exposed it before the human community due to igniting fire of hatred among mankind by way of spreading rivalries and animosities among them. Words SAMOOM is from root SEEN, MEEM and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is a very small hole almost invisible to detect with naked eye. Also poison, venom, pore of the body, a tiny hole, eye of the needle, hot wind, hot air, dust carrying wind, people close to the self, like minded people, close confidant, scorching or cold wind, something very hot, smokeless fire, hidden hand, conspiracy, the hole in the ear or nose for purpose of wearing a piece of jewellery, something light, something sharp, a small hole to get into something, an opening to get through to something, a way of getting to something etc etc. The Quran uses various words to describe human origin and development through various stages as a species as well as stages a human goes through after conception and after birth eg BASHAR, SHAITAAN, JINN, INSAAN, MALAK and AADAM etc. Word BASHAR seems to show the original state of a human being ie the origin of human species. At that stage people become proper human beings in their bodily forms only but are like animals when it comes to their use of brains, senses and bodies. Word SHAITAAN shows a state existence when a person becomes capable of causing more harm to oneself and others than good. Word JINN shows a state of existence when human beings rather live in isolation from each other as rivals not realising yet the need for support and cooperation of each other. Word INSAAN shows a state of existence when human beings become self aware and aware of each other therefore they realise the need for support and cooperation of each other so they try to find comfort in each other. Word MALAK shows a state of existence of people whereat people become capable of self organisation and self regulation as well as able to manage things according a given program. Word AADAM shows a state of existence when mankind become capable of realising that they need external guidance in order to live their lives properly as proper human beings or a civilised species. In other words when a human being grows up, he looks for guidance that could help him organise and regulate himself to manage provided things in the best interest of human species. This is why the very first messenger of Allah is called Aadam because he was most conscious of need for divine guidance among people of his time so he was given the responsibility of delivering message of Allah to rest of people at the time and he did but some people opposed him who had not yet realised the need for guidance of Allah. Even today a human baby goes through a similar process of biological, sociological and psychological growth. Not all people reach stage of looking for divine guidance and oppose the idea of a proper human community because they rather dominate others by trying to undermine them. This is how the human world ends up into two camps ie those who live their lives on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other and those who live for each other as a brotherhood. Each of these opposing groups tries to get the other to accept living by a way of life they have adopted for themselves. So far fight is still on and neither side have won the day but there is good chance that brotherhood will win in the end as mankind become more and more aware of need for brotherhood. 28) This is why in due course your Creator and Sustainer sent a message to the chiefs at the time by way of His messenger saying, I am going to cultivate human populace through My program for them into a highly civilised human community like a piece of clay that is like mud which is moulded into a desired shape This man is Aadam the first chief administrator or manager of Godly kingdom who was chosen to be a messenger of God to mankind to help them educate themselves to be a proper human community. It should be born in mind that before God sent his first message to mankind he let mankind rise intellectually to a level of thinking whereby they realised the need for divine guidance. So first man became self aware and he learned to survive but that was not enough because it was only based on set-up systems and laws of Allah. As some people became dominant over others and used and abused each other and started shedding blood of each other that is the stage when man became conscious of God because he could not stop this bloodshed all by himself. As man sort guidance so God responded and told people a way to get rid of bloodshed from among them through forming a proper human community that ensured well being of each other. It is for this purpose God chose one of the people as his messenger to tell tribal chiefs to organise as a human family under a man named Aadam. Aadam was not the first human being but a very first prophet from Allah who was also chosen by people to be the very first chief administrator or proper manager of the very first kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for the well being of human community that joined him after accepting his message of brotherhood. All chiefs accepted divine proposal and voted for him save one chief and his name was Iblees. Iblees decided along with hjis supporters to go against the advice of God and the reason was he was of those people who were involved in bloodshed because he came from a background that chose to rule others by dividing people on basis of strong and weak, clever and dumb, rich and poor etc and took advantage of each other instead of ensuring well being of each. Their idea of living was to grab things of each other for personal gains and when that idea was put in to practice it automatically led to bloodshed because some people fought for their right to live rather than give up their right to livelihood and perish. From the Quran it is very much obvious that the Quran is talking about real people here ie the divine messenger is real who is passing onto chiefs at the time the divine messages, Adam is a real human being whom God proposed for the job and Iblees is also a real human being with personal ambitions and desires in opposition to what God wants for humanity. This whole thing happened here on this very earth not in some far off place in some far off magic world as mullahs will have us believe. All this happened because demand for a good management of people and resources was not raised by people of the time till Adam educated them all about it and that only happened because Iblees and his supporters messed up humanity badly which looked for some way out of their predicament . So God raised Adam above others because he worked hard for it and none could complete with him at the time in being the right man for the right job. This is why Adam was first such divine messenger who was also chief administrator in the divine kingdom. Just because Adam was chosen by God does not mean he was absolutely perfect human being in every way but that at the time he was the best. It is very wrong to think that God created man as something top of the world but then he fell from grace. This is stupid idea because if man was created perfect then how could he fall from grace? What kind of perfection was that? Moreover if such a perfect man like Adam fell from grace then what were chances of any common man to ever rise to that perfection ever again? People need to start thinking this over very seriously rather than following make beliefs spread by ignorant, uneducated and unthinking mullahs, who have spread lots of nonsensical stories about everything against the actual teachings of the Quran. The world and all things in it work their way through naturally ie no magical tricks are involved here as mullahs will have us believe. All prophets were born and raised like other people but through their efforts they proved they were the best and that is why God chose them for doing his work. God does things wisely ie in an organised and proper way that reflects his wisdom and not the ignorant way haphazardly. That would have only shown his lack of wisdom. No person was ever free of making mistakes even the prophets when it came to learning things but that prophets never continued building on their errors instead they stopped and corrected themselves and moved on along the right path. So long as people follow them in whatever they did right by the book they will be doing fine. After Adam reached his full potential as was required of him God took over and educated him to be able to manage people and resources properly. However, Iblees and his supporters managed to derail people from the right path but that was not failure on part of God or Adam, it was failure on part of Adam’s fellow supporters some of whom fell prey to traps of Iblees and his supporters and caused dispute in the divine kingdom and so it all fell apart. However Adam managed to get it back together again for a while with the cooperation of the willing people. 29) and when I have completed My moulding of him into a shape I want for him and thereby make him conscious of Me by way of My revelation then commit yourselves to supporting him as manager of your human community. Allah is not talking about creation of Adam in these verses but his further education through revelation to show him how to organise and regulate a human population into a proper human community for fulfilling all needs of all people through mutual cooperation and help of each other. The commitment of people is not to Adam but to the program of Allah for them that is delivered to them by Adam and because Adam is best person among them they take him on as manager of their community through mutual consultation. 30) That is why all the chiefs together committed themselves to supporting him 31) save Iblees who refused to join those who committed themselves for this end goal. 32) Allah asked, O Iblees! What is the matter with you that you did not join those who have committed themselves for supporting Adam for implementation of My program? These dialogues between God, Adam, people and Iblees are just normal way of expression by God and not that people are talking to God like each other. It is a similar dialogue as between God, Moses, his people, Pharaoh and his people etc. In the Quran God is talking to each and every person but not directly instead he is talking to mankind through his chosen messenger and through missionaries of his messengers. The idea that God is talking directly to all these people in some other world is a total nonsense. This shows how people have grossly misinterpreted their scriptures by imaginary stories of their own which never made any sense to anyone. Mullahs should not have done this instead they should have told people try and make sense of these stories by yourselves because we have no idea what these verses mean. However this could have ruined their false status and reputation which they built in the eyes of ignorant, illiterate and uneducated masses to keep them that way and keep on fooling them. The other point one has to note here is that words YAA IBLEES are used by the Quran just like YAA MOOSA etc. It shows word IBLEES is a proper noun of a person. However, it is important to remember that same word could be used as an adjective as well as a proper noun for another person also eg MOOSA could be name of any other person also beside the name used in the Quran for a prophet of Allah ie Moses. 33) He replied, it is not fitting for a person of my status coming from ruling elite that I commit myself for supporting program of this man whom according to him You have brought forth and cultivated him from among low status people like a piece of clay that is like mud which is moulded into a shape. Word MASNOON is from roots SEEN, NOON and NOON; SEEN, NOON and HAA and SEEN, NOON and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is firmly established. Also tradition, custom, tooth, teething, age, year, blade, sharpening, handsome face, legislation, law, method or way of doing things, technique, trick, precedent, modes, manners, customs, way of life, norms, established practice/s, way or path, program, honed, formed, shaped, cast, season, passing of time, to remain or stay, to alter in quality, shining, glittering, lightning, high rank, climbing, irrigation, watering etc etc. This verse tells us a very important thing which is how Iblees understood the differences between mankind when he was told about the message of Allah. He though that it is Allah who has created people differently so if they are strong and weak then it is not his fault because that is the way God has created people. The same goes for rich and poor as far as Iblees is concerned so whatever people do to each other due to that is fault of Allah not man. This is exactly what advantageous people say about disadvantaged people among them and that is why they think it is ok for them to use and abuse them. However the real message of Allah is that it is true that he has created people with differences such as strong and weak or with advantages and disadvantages but just because God has created them that way it does not mean that it is right for people to take undue advantage of each other. This is why Allah gave people full explanation of all this and guided people how they are supposed to use their advantages for ensuring the well being of disadvantaged among them since not each and every person is 100% in an advantageous position at all times nor totally 100% disadvantaged therefore mutual goodwill and cooperation is the proper way forward for humanity as whole. The mistake Iblees made is that he used differences to ensure his dominance over others by trying to undermine others. His idea is that if anyone is weak then he has right to take advantage of him because of that rather than try and be helpful to ensure well being of all through asset-up of proper human community based upon guidance of Allah. 34) Due to such mindset, attitude and behaviour as Iblees showed towards message given to him by Allah through Adam Allah replied to him through His messenger Adam, get out of this mindset, attitude and behaviour because your way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other is condemned due to being mutually harmful and destructive for mankind 35) therefore if you do not change your mindset, attitude and behaviour then you will be left to do as you please and so you people will remain distant from blissful, dignified and secure existence till the day the way of life advised by Allah becomes established by yourselves. These verses are not about telling Iblees you are cursed but that way of life advised by Allah is the only way to blissful, dignified and secure existence and if any other way of life is adopted then that will only and only lead away from that kind of life. Now question is, if one is going away from blissful, dignified and secure existence then where is one going to end up? For sure in life of hell or all sorts of hardships, difficulties and problems or in others words in life full of harms and destructions by hands of each other. Like people of today who are ignorant and doubtful about things they are told in the Quran Iblees too was in doubt about things Allah told in his book to Adam so he decided to challenge the guidance of Allah and ended up where he was told he will along with his supporters. This is why anyone who follows way of Iblees he too will end up in same place or in same situation. 36) At this Iblees said, my Creator and Sustainer! Give me time till the day of uprooting of this way of life. Here Iblees is talking to Adam and his supporters refuting their claims about guidance of Allah and telling them, you do things your way as you please and let me do things my way as I please and let everyone see who ends up where. These verses are basically arguments between two parties who each want to live according to a way of life that suits them better from their points of views respectively. 37) Allah said, you are given the respite 38) till the appointed time. The Quran does not fix time by clock for an events to happen but by conditions so when conditions are met the events based upon those conditions take place. Here the guidance is that living by way of life advised by Allah is the right way to live for people but Iblees and the like people oppose this idea so the outcome is left to what happens after people have adopted their way of life respectively. As explained already the way of life Iblees promotes is the one based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and the way of life Adam promotes is the one based upon idea of living for ensuring well being of each other. Even today people who think only for themselves or only in light of short term take personal gains as criterion for measuring success but those who think in term of community and in light of well being of others or think in term of long time use community development as measure of success. The problem however is that nature favours those who have natural advantage over each other so nature therefore favours individuals as well as groups who have advantage over others. What it means is that just as a strong individual has advantage over a weak individual so a strong group has advantage over a weak group. Not only that but a group also has a huge advantage over an individual also. This is why individualism cannot lead to a better world but a community based upon proper foundation can. However, to get everyone on same advantaged platform takes much longer as compared to do as one likes. This is why people who base their lives on personal gains at the expense of each other keep struggling for themselves and odd people among them are in an advantageous position for a while but soon there comes a time when divide between haves and have nots comes back to haunt them and nation after nation ends up destroyed through infighting. On the other hand people who live for each other carry on regardless in the hope that one day they will succeed fully though partial successes do come their way every now and then. So party of God and party of Satan carry on their struggle for gaining supporters for their causes. Satan in the Quranic context is opponent or adversary of way of life advised by Allah. This is why IBLEES is called satan because he opposed Adam. He was called JINN because he had ambition and desire for dominating other people by undermining them through taking undue advantage of them. So anyone who tries to dominate others and tries to undermine others is called satan. The words used in the text of the Quran are a very interesting combination. If the Quran was word of human beings that was attributed to God then the way words are used in the Quran will have given away this secret. It is because in all human writings people can clearly see human elements which prove them human works but the case of the Quran is very different. Its text instead proves to be out of this world due to word combination. It uses human language in a special way that shows it free of make beliefs, useless rituals and superstition etc. Not only that it also uses its text to explain its scientific and historical basis as well. 39) Iblees said, my Creator and Sustainer! Since Adam tells me that according to You I am taken over by my way of life therefore I will show him and his supporters also that life in this world is attractive so they too will become hostage to it all together People here must realise that Iblees was a human being with harmful and destructive mindset, attitude and behaviour and that was the main reason God kicked him out after giving him a chance for correction which he failed to take on, proving himself unworthy of being part of divine appointed administration. He then tries to derail even those who have been given the chance to run things so that they also fail. He does succeed for a limited period of time but Adam beats him by re-establishing divine kingdom once again. The other point people need to realise is that like all people of that time Iblees is also dead. Any mention of Iblees and Adam in general is all about two different mindsets, attitudes and behaviours in people as human race. This is why we have children of Adam and children of Iblees or party of God and party of Satan. Iblees is Satan but every satan is not Iblees. Likewise Adam is not the father of human race, he is father of people who live by his ideas. The original Adam ie first person in shape of human beings or who looked like us is not known and it is not important to know who exactly he was. We do not really need to know each and every person personally but it is important to know that people who matter most for us we must know them reasonably well because our survival depends on them as our leaders or as helpers of our leaders. Iblees type people must be avoided as leaders or followers and Adam like leaders and followers must be sought after if we human beings are to attain united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous existence as a proper human community. 40) save sincere followers of Your program, constitution and law. 41) Allah said, see this program from Me given to Adam, it is firmly founded 42) so you will have no firmly founded way of life against it to convince those who abide by My program, constitution and law save those who support you because they too have become hostage to your way of life who humiliate each other 43) and that is how they all will end up in painful suffering as warned already, 44) wherein lead many harmful and destructive ways of life and each way of life is open to any human community from among the mankind. In these verses the Quran makes it clear that people are born ignorant, illiterate and uneducated and unless they use their brains, senses, bodies and all that is provided for them properly, they are bound to remain ignorant, illiterate and uneducated and will not be able to use things properly so they will end up harming themselves and each other. This is why people who are ignorant and arrogant or are stubborn seek dominance over each other and try to undermine each other and so divisions based on rivalries, animosities and hatred lead them to all sorts of fights and wars among themselves making life in this world a ditch of hell for almost all of them. Only if people could listen to message of their creator and sustainer, they can have a chance to a better existence as a proper human community. This is why understanding why Allah created this world and people in it and sent them revelation is of such vital importance. 45) However those who will develop proper mindset, attitude and behaviour as they are guided will end up in blissful kingdoms due to fountains of knowledge from which will spring unity, peace, progress and prosperity for them. 46) That is why they are told, bring about these like kingdoms and enter them through proper way of life for your own peace and security. 47) Through that proper way of life We will remove all hatred based on divisions, rivalries and animosities from their minds against each other making them like brothers settled on foundation of dignifying foundation supporting each other. 48) No fatigue should touch them in there due to working for well being of each other and being wise they should not do anything that kicks them out of that state of existence. 49) That way let My devout missionaries make obvious for the mankind by bringing about My kingdom that I am indeed their protector through My blissful, dignifying and secure existence providing program 50) and that My set-up law of consequences for actions of people is also humiliating and very painful for those who think and act harmfully and destructively against each other. These verses leave one in no doubt as to what deen of Islam is all about ie people living for betterment of each other as a united community with true family spirit. Having nothing to hide from each other because hiding only comes in when people want to inflict some damage on each other because they are not happy with each other for reasons of their own against each other. When people live to strengthen trust in each other then they save themselves a lot of worries. This is main reason that if any outsider attacks them they are ready to defend their society with their lives because they know there won’t be anyone left on his/her own to suffer after them instead what they fight for will take care of them. On the contrary a society in which each person lives for personal gain, none of them wants to die for that society because once they die everything ends with them. No matter what all dominant people have urge to leave their name behind by building useless structures rather than giving humanity something to remember them for eg schools, colleges, universities, hospital, roads, ideas, inventions etc etc. All this shows that deen of Islam that was revealed by Allah for mankind in time of Adam remained the very same till the final messenger Muhammad and it is still there in form of a book called the Quran. It also shows how important it is for mankind to try and make proper sense of the Quranic text so that mankind could know how to live properly in this world to make it what it is supposed to be ie a blissful, dignified and secure place for proper existence of humanity as a proper human community. The Quran is not a book of make beliefs and useless rituals that serves no purpose for mankind. 51) Tell them about the missionaries that came to people of Abraham. 52) They entered upon them and said, we come to you for your peace and security. But Abraham replied, surely we are anxious to know about your plan. 53) They answered, worry not about it, we have come to you with a good news of a successor endowed with knowledge. 54) He said, are you giving me this good news of a successor because I am getting old? What is this good news about? 55) They replied, the good news we are giving you is about continuation of the mission so that you do not become of those who despair. 56) He said, who can fall in despair with blissful and dignifying program of his Creator and Sustainer other than the one who strays? 57) Then he asked, what is your current mission that you have been sent for, O people on a mission? 58) They replied, we have been sent by our prophet to deal with a people who commit crimes against their own people as well as against other people 59) with the exception of a party that supports Lot, we will certainly evacuate all of them 60) except a party of his people that opposes him, which in our assessment is going to stay with those chiefs and priests who will remain behind. 61) So when the missionaries came to the people of Lot, 62) he said, you people seem to be those who fight those who commit crimes against humanity? 63) They said, we have come to you with a solution regarding that about which these people dispute and cause trouble. 64) We have been sent to you with a complete plan of action and we are here to fulfil it. 65) You should therefore quietly depart with your supporters during the night and you yourself should follow them once they all have left and let none of you look back to this place and things you have to leave behind with any regrets instead keep going where you are told to go. This verse tells how God moves his messengers out of places when most of the people in a place in their community do not give them due attention and instead threaten them and persecute them. They are told to leave but ensure that all their supporters are gone to safety before they themselves leave the place. Not only that but also people cannot carry with them all they have in a place and that could be very stressful. It is a new start all over again. In a way it is a lesson for this messenger and his supporters also that he may also have to leave his people due to similar situations and circumstances. That is why this prophet, namely Muhammad, who preached the message of the Quran in Makkah in Arabia also was thrown out of his community with threats and persecution. He left for Madinah but made sure that all his supporters reached safety before him. Even after Makkah became a city of his followers, he never returned to live there so he breathed his last in Madinah where he his body laid to rest. It should be remembered that all messengers of Allah went through similar struggles for the very same mission so if stories of some of them are told from them it is possible to reconstruct stories about others with all essential details. 66) All that because We informed him about Our plan of action that political, economic and social ties with those people are to be cut off for a new beginning. 67) Behold! The people of the township came rejoicing to Lot at the news of his visitors. 68) Lot said, they are my guests so do not humiliate me before them 69) instead be consistent with guidance of Allah for the well being of human community and do not put me to shame in front of my guests by doing things you usually do to each other and the travellers through our town. 70) They said, have we not stopped you from speaking on behalf of people in the rest of the world? 71) He said, here are my basis upon which I stand and invite you to abide by if you must do anything purposeful and worthwhile at all because living a life of crime by inflicting harm and destruction upon each other wastes lives. 72) Just like way of life of your people O messenger, they were driven to madness through rivalries and animosities for personal power and wealth at the expense of each other! 73) So the mighty revolt in form of a sudden uprising took them by surprise by one morning When a people no longer live by guidance of Allah for the well being of mankind Allah sends to people his messengers or their missionaries to help educate them to a way of life that could deliver them blissful, dignified and secure existence but if they refuse to pay attention to the message then messengers are removed to safety along with those who accept their message and people are left to themselves to deal with each other as they like and soon things come to what they deserve by their own thoughts and actions against each other. The end result leaves many lessons to learn from for generations of people to come. 74) that is how We found the place turned upside down due to the revolt because they worked against Our program despite Our making obvious to them importance of solid foundation for properly organised institutions and record keeping in a classified and proper way. These verses tell mankind why community after community is destroyed by itself because it does not base itself on any solid foundation, it does not organise itself properly for any beneficial goal, it does not set up proper formal institutions or regulate itself for proper management of human population and resources, means of production and distribution. The end result is chaos and confusion because each person lives his/her life worse than animals in a jungle and as such things reach their peak people become weak through infighting due to lack of resources needed for livelihood. A well founded community on the other hand manages its people and resources properly so it prolongs its life as well as improves its living standard, so good foundation, proper organisation and well maintained regulation is the key for well being of a proper human community. Otherwise people end up in fights and wars with each other and so bloody revolutions turn things upside down for all people. This is how rulers are brought down and the ruled take over to rule and things start all over again ie this cycle keeps on repeating itself and will continue till mankind become educated enough to stop this from happening any more by learning how to live in this world properly through mutual good will and helpful mindset, attitude and behaviour. 75) Surely there are evidences in this surah for those who will care to investigate as to what happens to people and why who refused to do things properly. Word MUTAWASSIMEEN is from roots WOW, SEEN and MEEM and SEEN, MEEM and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is something that acts as an identification mark for something for some purpose. Also brand, sign, branding iron, good looks, intelligence, wisdom, heaven, proper noun, anything over head, high position, position of power, ability of inference, ability to know something by clues about it, rule or law or custom or value, seasons, returning occasions, spring rain, to lay evidence for something before someone to judge it, to adorn with ornaments, to gauge, to see signs of certain traits in someone, to cauterise, to infer, to make use of clues to arrive at a conclusion, to have an opinion based upon some evidences, to investigate something for arriving at truth about it, to go on a fact finding mission about something, to use clues to decode a sign or something, to mark something with a sign for identification purposes, to try to know facts about something etc etc. 76) And as it happens this ruined township lies on the highway you the people still use for travelling. 77) Indeed there is a set of lessons to observe and learn in this surah for any people who will commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. 78) The people who lived in the land full of trees and greenery to whom was sent Shuaib were also of those who inflicted harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other Word AIKAH is from root ALIF, YAA and KAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is a place full of trees and plants. Also an orchard, berries, plants, greenery, forest, jungle, stick, power, strength, hand, staff, palm of hand, waving hand, to say hello or to wave goodbye, to have power in hands, government, to have something within reach, people of prophet Shuaib, people of Median, a place full of wood, a lively place etc etc. 79) so We sent Our program to guide them to live properly but they ignored it and ended up destroyed by hands of each other. The ruined townships of both the populations lay by the road used most frequently by you the people. 80) The rulers, money lenders and mullahs who lived in land of rocky hills also denied Our set out rights to Our provisions to their people as they were explained to them by Our messengers, 81) because We furnished their messengers with Our revelations yet they ignored them. 82) They used to carve their homes in the mountains to live in safety and security 83) but the mighty sudden uprising took them by surprise one morning 84) so all their hard labour to build safe and secure places for themselves availed them not even the least bit. The Quran is telling mankind in these verses the fact that proper foundation for human population to live by goes hand in hand with proper development and progress and prosperity of mankind. Where is sense in inventions if people are only going to use them to try to dominate and undermine each other because all inventions by people come to nothing at all if they are only tools and instruments for helping people to inflict more and more harms and destructions upon each other? A clear message to mankind, if you want to live a blissful, dignified and secure life then adopt a way of life that will deliver all that. No way adopting the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other can deliver such life. It is because if human population is under threat from each other then there is no safety and security for them from each other. Such people will get each other by hook or by crook, sooner or later. So all that people do this way for this very reason of dominating each other by undermining each other comes to nothing at all. This is why living by way of life advised by Allah cannot be matched no matter what. 85) We have not created all the far away galaxies as well as this galaxy and all that is between them but for a set purpose based upon Our set-up systems and laws. The moment of doom is for sure to strike those who abide not by Our guidance, so face their opposition in a courageous and dignified way. 86) Surely your Creator and Sustainer makes obvious for mankind what courageous, dignifying and secure mindset, attitude and behaviour is. 87) That is why We have brought to your attention many evidences that back up the claims of the Quran which can raise mankind to heights of glory through blissful, dignified and secure existence. This verse is telling mankind to look at their history and see what the revelations from Allah forewarned people about and what has been happening always throughout the world ie people have been going through bloody revolutions to try and change the world for the better. In other words history has been repeating itself yet people still have not learned their lessons and have not turned to revelations of Allah to change their world through education based revolutions. Nonetheless a time will come when people will become interested in education based revolution where after people will find the way to blissful, dignified and secure existence. As explained already many of these verses have complementary meanings so one must try and look at them in a deeper and wider context. 88) Therefore do not set your eyes looking for help on those some of whom (ie rulers, money lenders, mullahs and their touts and supporters) We have let have things their way and be not anxious over their thoughts and actions that lead them to harm and destruction instead pay much more attention to those who have committed themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind Here the Quran tells people who accept the message of the Quran to not to look towards their opponents with expectation of any kind of help because if they were that helpful people they will not be living by a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby they inflict terrible harms and destructions upon each other. The very fact that people live for themselves is proof that such people cannot help anyone else but for some personal gains only ie in expectation of gaining more than they spend. Only people who live by way of life that helps them ensure well being of mankind can be expected to be that sort of people who help others do well for sake of Allah and humanity. 89) and say to the opposing political, economic and religious elite and its supporters, I am surely sent by Allah as an open and final clear warner for all the people in the world. 90) This Quran is indeed the warning like of which We sent to those before you who also decided to remain separate in the opposite camp and the outcome of that was made obvious again and again 91) because they too were the ones who tore their programs, constitutions and laws into bits out of disrespect for Our rule of law and humanity and ended up in divisions based upon rivalries and animosities whereby they inflicted terrible harm and destruction upon each other out of hatred for each other. 92) This testimony of your Creator and Sustainer is the proof that We make all people face the outcome This Quran is testimony God and in it we are told stories of past generations and divine messengers and scriptures and that is proof that same message was presented to whole of mankind always but they either ignored it or actively opposed it and ended up destroying themselves by way of inflicting harms and destructions upon each other from which they are stopped by God. This continues even today after people have received the revelation of the Quran nearly 1500 years ago. People do not bother reading the Quran at all or do not read it to understand its message properly so Muslims and nonMuslims keep fighting and arguing over their own nonsense using name of the Quran and God. This will continue till people realise that it is leading them nowhere and that they must study the Quran properly to see what it really says. It is because mullahs interpret the Quran in order to justify their make beliefs and useless rituals and those makes beliefs and useless rituals are then attacked by their opponent nonMuslims and so there is no end to this carry on. Time could have been spent better in actually knowing the message of the Quran. 93) for all that they think and do. 94) Therefore proclaim openly and freely what you are commanded and leave those to themselves who yet choose to live by way of life other than Our advised way of life. 95) Surely We are sufficient for your support through Our set-up system and laws against the scoffers and the warmongers who wish to undermine your mission. 96) As to those who set up any ruler other than Allah they will soon come to know the end result of that which they think and do. 97) We surely know your mind is distressed by what they say and do 98) nonetheless keep striving harder to establish the sovereignty of your Creator and Sustainer and be with those who have committed themselves for fulfilling this task 99) and that is how you should serve the mission of your Creator and Sustainer until there reaches you the news of accomplishment of the mission which is absolutely certain to happen. |

Surah 16 AL-NAHL-The architectural plan for building infrastructure for a proper human community that is united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous
This Surah is named by word NAHL from root NOON, HAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is something that helps create a bond between things. Also something very basic, simple, infrastructure, blueprint, free gift, something given to someone by someone freely without expectation of anything in return, sweetness, pleasantness, stickiness, magnetism, something gluey or acts as glue, attraction, a pleasant or workable combination of ideas; things or people, a team, a system, a group of things or people that work together as a team, an imposter, a social bee or a socially active bee or person, an obsession, an impulsive or eccentric mind, abnormally thin person as if through starvation, skeleton, structure, framework, outline, sketch, statutory gift, honey bee, pretender, emaciated, bare minimum of something, bare bones, to purport to be, to claim undue credit, to impersonate, to claim be something one is not, to cajole with sweet talk, a social gathering where people combine work, competition, amusement, ox-goad, drive, motivation, fish, something slippery or tricky, fence, to include or exclude, drive towards a destination or away from a destination, be clever to be able to solve problems, to be tricky or cunning etc etc. This Surah is not named AL-NAHL because it is a word used in this Surah or because this Surah talks about bees etc but due to its contents that are about a human society, its organisation and regulation involving its social, political and economic systems, structures, mechanisms, procedures and practices etc. It talks about social set-up and management of people and resources, means of production and distribution etc. The main idea is that God has provided mankind with everything they will ever need including guidance, brains and senses to observe nature and understand revelation and learn from them both and then use that to organise themselves in a way that humanity ends up moving forward full speed ahead in leaps and bounds. This Surah firmly puts as if last nail in the coffin of harmful and destructive leadership in form of rulers, money lenders and mullahs. It makes absolutely clear for all who have sense that Islam is not a set of make beliefs with some useless rituals but ADDEEN ie a way of life advised by Allah for mankind. No less and no more. A far reaching message for the mankind should they use their brains and senses to think things through thoroughly. This surah makes it absolutely clear that in the Quran there is no room for myths, superstition, magic, mysteries or any other kind of nonsense. The Quranic message is straight to the point if one has learned to understand things told in the Quran properly. The main thing to realise is that the universe and the Quran are the only teachers that mankind have, why? Because the universe and things in it have been programmed by God and man is created to be able to observe things if he chooses to do so and by looking at things how they come about, work and fulfil their purpose there is a lot that man can learn and that can help him understand the message in the Quran and so together with these tools man can accomplish or actualise his hidden potentialities or abilities to his fullest. It is a perfect combination if we could think about it. This is how the Quran proves to be scientific by its very nature. It deals with philosophy of scientific thinking as well as actual scientific facts and explanations to help mankind build upon these to reach their full potential to fulfil purpose of their creation as explained in the Quran by Allah. One has to remember always that deen of Islam was always the very same since the very first time it was introduced to mankind by Allah through his very first messenger Adam. Adam was not a ruler appointed by Allah as mullahs will have us believe. He was simply a man who was sent message by Allah to guide his fellow human beings just like all other messengers of Allah who came after him. He spread the message and when people became aware of advantages of this message they decided to live by it so they brought about the very proper human community based upon guidance of Allah. He was opposed by Iblees and his supporters and struggle continued since then between status quo and change for the better. Some wanted to keep things at animal level as they were but others wanted to raise mankind to human level for well being of mankind. The very same struggle continues even today that most of the mankind still resist change for the better. This is why some use scriptures properly to ensure well being of mankind but others improperly to keep mankind confused so that they could continue use and abuse of others for their personal agendas for furthering their personal vested interests at the expense of others. However, the Quran makes clear distinction between the truth and the falsehood for those who wish to prepare themselves for studying it properly. Just as Adam was not a ruler treating others as his subjects or slaves nor was he a trader for profit who used money or any other thing to use and abuse others by taking advantage of them through that mechanism. He was a messenger of Allah promoting deen of Allah so that mankind could learn to live their lives properly in this world so he was not a mullah working day and night promoting make beliefs and useless rituals to make fool of people in the name of Allah and his scripture. This is why there was a huge difference between mindset, attitude and behaviour of Adam and Iblees. One liked and adopted way of life advised by Allah which ensured well being of mankind through their support of each other and the other disliked way of life advised by Allah and adopted his own way of life that was based on personal gains at the expense of each other which has been harming and destroying humanity always by hands of people themselves due to their selfishness and greed for power and wealth etc. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] Program of Allah with guidelines for constitution and law to accomplish goals such as unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind has arrived for you the people but you cannot hasten its implementation in a hurry because you need to educate and train yourselves and each other about it as you need support of each other to install and maintain it. This is how this program of His manifests His glory differentiating Him from all those whom ignorant people take as His partners in sovereignty of kingdom of this universe. This verse of this Surah and many others throughout the Quran tell people that having an idea is not enough on its own rather people to whom the idea is given by Allah need to have necessary education and training about it in every way so that they could see whether it is worthwhile for them or not and whether they have the necessary knowledge, needed skills and human support to implement it. It is because if masses see it beneficial for themselves only then they will make the needed effort to implement it to ensure their own well being as a proper human community. This is how the idea will get support and become a force in itself. Having an idea and leaving it on shelf or in cold storage or ignoring it does not do any good for anyone. This is why the Quran being a program of Allah for mankind is fine but if people do not bother to know what it is all about then it makes no difference whether people have it or not. The Quran is therefore useless unless it is understood properly and its properly understood message is spread far and wide for broad-based support among human beings who then rise up to implement it for its stated purposes and goals according to stated guidelines. It is made absolutely clear that there is no ruler for whole of this universe other than Allah and all people are his creation and are equal subjects of Allah so none is allowed to be master or slave of anyone at all. This is why in deen of Islam none can be ruler over others and this is why one cannot divide people into kings and subjects because all mankind are subjects of Allah alone because this whole universe is his kingdom and not of anyone else and he has no partners in sovereignty of this kingdom and that is why none has the right to dictate any program, constitution or law that is against his plan nor one has any right to set out alternate goals and or guidelines. People are given two limits to work within a)message from Allah for well being of humanity and b)their own facing problems and tasks based on ground realities of real world at any given time in any given place. With that as basis any program people devise, any constitutions they make, any laws they make are taken as work of Allah because it is according to his provided framework and guidelines for the stated goals and objectives for people. Anything done in the name of any other ruler than Allah is therefore termed shirk-polytheism which is unforgiveable crime against Allah and humanity both as already explained. All such interactions and participations by mankind are therefore prohibited whereby one contravenes plan of Allah for mankind or goals and guidelines as set out in the Quran. When people take other rulers than Allah then they divide and that division leads them to rivalries, animosities, hatred and cruelty against each other. This is why a mushrik (=a person who adopts a way of life other than the one advised by Allah) lives in jahanam=hell oneself and makes life hell for others as well for as long as one stops not from living this way and turns not to way of life that leads to unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. A MUSHRIK is a person who puts a nonGod in position of a God or a person who has no right to rule in position of rulership or sovereignty. Monotheism is important in the sense that people also live as one single community because they do not live for personal gains at the expense of each other so there is no such division, rivalry or animosity among them instead there is spirit of cooperation and support as well as love and respect among such people as a brotherhood. For the very same reasons there is no cruelty, injustice, unfairness, oppression and suppression among them but freedom from all kinds of master slave relationships. This is why there comes about through knowledge unity, peace, progress and prosperity among such people instead of divisions, rivalries, animosities, stagnation, regression and poverty of all sorts due to ignorance, illiteracy and lack of education. If one looks at the whole picture one can see how things are interlinked and that is why people need to be aware of which way they ought to go for their well being as a proper human community and which way they are not to go because that way will lead them to sure harm or destruction. 2] He sends His missionaries with His revealed program to any of the human populations that become aware of need for it from among His human subjects so that they in turn alter and make aware other human populations about the fact that there is no rightful ruler of this universe other than I so that they become consistent with My rule of law for the well being of themselves as a united human community This verse very clearly tells us that Allah reveals his message only to those who really feel that they need it because of rise in their level of awareness about themselves and rest of realities of the real world therefore they make efforts to know about it. The question is how do people show that they need guidance from their creator and sustainer? They show that by learning from their life experiences using their brains and senses whereby they become self aware and aware of what is going on all around them in the world and why and that is how they come to realise the need for guidance from beyond themselves, this is why when they get their hands on guidance of Allah, they study it as it ought to be studied so that they could then use it for their own well being and once they themselves are seen as an example of success by others then they may learn from that and follow them for their own well being. Allah never sent any revelation to any people who never desired his guidance however people who had divine message took it to others anyway out of their own interest in other peoples’ well being and betterment. It is because they see how people living by ways of life other than the way advised by Allah mistreat each other so out of compassion and danger they sense they are compelled to act to put before them an alternative way of life should they choose to live that way. There is no compulsion on people to accept this way of life from Allah but if they do not then the hell they are living in will only heat up more and more and a point in time will reach when all hell will break loose and destroy humanity. The Quran was revealed to Arabs because at the time they were looking for some guidance for getting themselves out of cycle of violence within each community as well as violence among communities due to master slave relationships between people. This is why when the Quran was revealed within a generation the whole of Arabia became a changed place because they all became tied up in a brotherhood for the well being of each other. Thereafter they took the message of the Quran and spread it throughout the world despite all odds being stacked against them. The Quran is available in its original form throughout the world today though the proper understanding of its message is not that wide spread just as yet. That is because it takes generations to learn the message properly and then teach it to others and that is because most people in the world are not yet interested in knowing the actual message of the Quran properly. Once people see the need for the real message of the Quran and it gets through to mankind then there is no way masses will stay away from it. For the time being so called Muslims and nonMuslims are using the Quran as a tool to fool and fight each other to dominate each other by undermining each other by way of its misinterpretations and misrepresentations so the real message of the Quran has been drowned in their lack of concern for the actual message and its purpose. Most of those who claim to be Muslims attribute things to the Quran which are not in the Quran and most of the nonMuslims are busy confronting them about their those make beliefs and useless rituals and none of them is paying attention needed for discovering the actual message of the Quran directly from the Quran according to some basic rules as explained in this work here and there. Even among Muslims reading the Quran for understanding its actual message is not a normal thing to do. Mullahs read the Quran selectively to prove their make beliefs and useless rituals to each other on sectarian basis keeping their masses ignorant, illiterate and uneducated and masses show little interest in study of the Quran to see what mullahs are really up to. It only hurts humanity itself to carry on like this because that keeps delaying the period of human betterment the while people keep fighting over nonissues and nonsense. The main issue the Quran puts forth is, whether personal gains at the expense of proper human community is right way of life or wrong way of life for people to live by. Not only that but if community life is important then how individual members of humanity need to be educated for that kind of mindset, attitude and behaviour. It is because people need sense of self responsibility and self regulation before any laws are given to them to live by. There is no point in having any program, constitution and law if people are not educated enough to understand them for awareness and realisation of their importance as foundation and how they are supposed to work and how people ought to use them to benefit from them. This is why there cannot be implementation of deen of Islam if there is no education about proper understanding of the Quran and other Islamic sources eg Hadith and Fiqh etc. Make belief and useless ritualism based Islam is not going to be of any help as it has not been for last so many centuries since they turned to imperialism after the death of the final messenger of Allah. Muslims are a very fortunate people that they still have original sources but where is sense in having sources but having no proper understanding of them? It is masses themselves who need to start studying the Quran directly rather than through mullahs because mullahs have misinterpreted and misrepresented the Quran for centuries either through lack of knowledge or through other motivations based on personal gains due to their ignorance. It is because it is unlikely that a person will knowingly do the wrong thing unless one is under duress. For example, if a scholar of the Quran is put under sword by a king for getting a favourable law in the name of deen of Islam then that can cause confusion for ummah but that has been the case in ummah many times according to Islamic history. This is why today Muslims are divided into so many sects due to lack of original sense of the message in the Quran and the Hadith and the Fiqh. The education base was gradually lost after the death of the final prophet Muhammad when Islamic state was swamped by incomers and opportunists took their chances and moved ummah away from the original message of Islam for sake of life style based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. The very life style condemned right through the Quran Surah after Surah. To re-establish rule of law revealed by Allah again ummah must do the very same once again that was done by the prophet and his companions as told in the Quran itself ie people must educate themselves and each other and things will happen again because the message of the Quran is clear and very powerful as basis for a proper human community. The world is falling apart therefore it is in desperate need of guidance the Quran offers but it is no use unless people learn the Quran properly and then teach it to others and that is not what ummah is doing. Ummah is still busy justifying imperialism and calling it deen of Islam based rule of law. 3] as well as tell others, He alone has given rise to all the galaxies in the universe including this galaxy for a set purpose through processes and laws as well as set-up systems, structures and mechanisms. As a sole ruler of this kingdom He is far more powerful beyond resistance of those whom ignorant people take as partners of Allah in sovereignty of this universe. In the verses of the Quran Allah talks about partners people attribute to Allah in his sovereignty of this universe. It does not mean that people believe there are Gods in this universe instead of a God but that people allow each other to be rulers instead of living by rule of law revealed by Allah. Polytheism is not about Gods but right of rule over mankind. Since God is only one and he has revealed his rule of law so people are not allowed to live by any rule of law that is created by people themselves in opposition to rule of Allah. It is because right of rule only and only belongs to Allah. All people can do is live by that rule of law and serve humanity the best they can as a proper human community. This is why it is not possible to be a Muslim and be an imperialist at the same time unless the ruler is God alone and not any human being. Since rule of man over another man is kufar=infidelity or unfaithfulness to rule of law of Allah so human imperialism in Islam is an oxymoron or a self contradictory thing. Moreover in deen of Islam the idea of a proper human community is about organising and regulating humanity with an administration to serve community and not to rule it. Also the idea of ummah or brotherhood itself contradicts people ruling each other. So there is no way anyone could justify the idea that man can rule man in context of deen of Islam. A very strong slap on faces of those who attribute a lie to Allah that it is ok to be rulers, money lenders, mullahs and their touts and supporters. Since use and abuse is not allowed in deen of Islam so it is not right to attribute master slave relationship between people either. The idea that deen of Islam allows Muslims to make people slaves or keep slaves or trade slaves or use and abuse each other or anyone else is all against deen of Islam because deen of Islam is about bottom up approach and not a top down approach based ie it is community that is basis in deen of islam and not institutions and administrations or personalities. Individuals and institutions only matter if they serve community as told by Allah and required by community as per its needs and wants within set limits of Allah. All the harmful and destructive things attributed to deen of Islam are actually inventions of imperialist forces as mazhab of Islam that was invented by mullahs on behalf of rulers and money lenders. This is why Muslims need to be very careful as to what they attribute to the Quran as teachings by Allah and his messenger. 4] He brings forth a human being from a combination within a biological unit and so a human being progresses biologically, psychologically and sociologically to a stage where at one is able to clearly express oneself. Word NUTFATIN is from root NOON, TWAA and FAA. Concrete meaning of this word is seed of something. Also the very first step needed for something to continue from there onwards, the starting point or building block of a bigger structure, something that has the potential to grow from where it has started off as a unit, something that acts like a seed for something to grow to its full potential or to a complete thing as a result of some process, something that may serve as the basis of further growth or development, sperm, germ, seed, a pearl that has no impurities in it, a complete genetic unit that is capable of growing into an individual living thing, germ cell, drop of liquid, dregs, despicable person, lowest or simplest form of human life or state of existence, fertilised egg, rubbish, anything thrown away, ejected, embryo, to seep, to slander, to smear, to become dirty, fish, mouth, identity mark, something that is lively or moving, something that speaks for itself etc etc. The Quran is full of verses wherein the very same text contains such meanings that are very comprehensive. Likewise here the Quran is talking about biological development of man as well as his psychological development and also sociological development. In each case man is starting from an embryonic stage in general and developing onwards in all aspects of life depending on how much effort one is putting into all this. This is explained in very first verse of the Quran BISMILLAH. If a human being develops properly then one is full of confidence, well motivate and well balanced individual who lives a very useful life. If one is restricted in any way then one’s proper development fails to take place and things become difficult because the interaction between society and its individuals produces future generations that either rise or fall based on balance of this interaction. Total freedom is as damaging as total control, so the best way is living by a set of certain guidelines for a set of goals worth living for. In this case the Quran explains what the best goals are for mankind and what values they should adopt to live by. People who claim total freedom for themselves are not right because each and every person has to live by some set standard due to interdependence of humanity. A child cannot come from nowhere rather each human being comes from his parents and therefore he has to live by rules of his/her parents till one becomes independent of parents for one’s living but then it is time for the child to lookafter his parents so parents now need to live by rules of their children due to dependency. Not only that soon one gets a partner and starts his/her own family thereby cycle starts all over again. In this process there is no time when one could really claim freedom from one’s dependence on others or from responsibilities towards others therefore one cannot escape some sort of rules and regulations. This is why the Quran is right in setting people the proper rules for regulating their human society as house rules to live by in the house called the universe. All we can do is try to reach best practical balance so that all people could get on with their lives reasonably well as an end goal. 5] And the blissful things like cattle, he evolved them as well and for you the mankind in them are many uses such as you get raw material from them to make clothe wear and from them you get food for thought and energy. Word ANAAM is from root NOON, AIN and MEEM that has been explained already. It means all sorts of things that make life possible and satisfactory eg biologically or psychologically or sociologically. This includes living things eg vegetation and animals as well as people themselves and the rest of universe and things in it eg the sun is a great blessing because without it there will not be any vegetation or animals and even human beings. Psychologically peace of mind and peace in real world is a great blessing to have. Sociologically it is great for people to live like a family supporting each other and sharing the pressure that life places on humanity for survival. Human beings are like animals till they know better and do better by using their brains and senses. Word DIFUN is from root DAAL, FAA and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is warmth. Also cordial relationship, mutual love, fondness, to offer gifts, to grant things for free, to unite people, to bring people together, to become united, to be united, to draw warmth from each other, to draw comfort from something in some way, to get means of keeping warm from something, to get ways or means from something for keeping warm, to get wool for woollen clothes from animals, warm clothing, a fireplace, food and wool obtained from animals, provisions, to give generously, to gather together, a source for food and clothing, heat, energy, power, door, mouth, ox or bull, something that opens a door to something, a way or mean to something etc etc. This verse is talking about life support system for mankind on basis of which people come into being and survive. If other things were not there in the universe then people could not be there either and since people are there they need other things to survive because without them they could not learn anything or do anything so other things open door for mankind to all sorts of things. One has to ask if this is not scientific approach to explanation of life and survival then what is? Not only that the Quran explains things through reasoning but such things are missing in the Quran which are talked about in other books written by people which are full of errors. So if the Quran was also written by people at the time then those very ideas of people about things could also find their way into the Quran as well but they did not, why not? The translations and interpretations of the Quran are based on makes beliefs people held at times and have been changing but the Quran remains the same ie free of make beliefs and useless rituals. This is why it is important for people to study the Quran for themselves and see how different the Quranic text is from books written by people themselves. 6] So for you in them is satisfying comfort and dignified survival the while you stick together as a proper human community because during that period of time you ensure well being of each other. Word JAMAAL is from root JEEM, MEEM and LAAM. Already explained it means beauty, durability, camel, water, ox-goad, to gather things together like a flock of sheep that is kept together by a shepherd, to be quick in action, to be a hard worker, to be able to carry load or responsibility, to be able to play a pivotal role. to treat someone in a good manner, to take an action or to make a move for betterment, brief, gist, rope etc etc. Word TUREEHOON is from root RAA, WOW and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is energy. Also spirit, a source of life, breath, air, wind, revelation, inspiration, stimulus, something that draws attention, something that raises thoughts or triggers thinking process, something that inspires or motivates into action, comfort, openness, pleasant cool breeze, head, chief, centre, hook, something that can carry weight, something that is capable of catching something or can hold on to something, fence, an obstacle, something that can act as a shield that can provide protection or cover from harm or danger, something that blocks the way from which any danger could get to the things that is under protection or security etc etc. Word TASRAHOON is from root SEEN, RAA and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is open space. Also freedom, separation, divorce, end of a contract or agreement, end of bond or limitation, to leave animals in the open land for grazing freely, to open up, to start a new life or journey, to set free, to go out to pasture, to release, to grant freedom from an obligation, to free partner from marriage bond, tooth, tradition or custom, to remove head or chief or centre of command, to remove fence, to remove obstacle or protection, to free from harm and destruction etc etc. These verses have wider and deeper implications as regard mankind and other living and nonliving things ie it is because blissful, dignified and secure survival of humanity depends on other things people are told to take proper care of things so that this relationship could continue and mankind could have a worthwhile future. All this demands proper organisation and regulation of human population as a proper human community that uses land and resources and means of production and distribution properly for the well being of the whole world. It is because all that exists is interdependent so if things will be misused by people then result will be harm and destruction of things as well as people. The simple fact for mankind to realise is that could they learn anything at all if they did not observe things all around them? Could they observe things around them and make sense of them and use them for their benefits if they had not been given brains and senses and bodies to go with them? It is one thing to think that mankind are dignified creatures because Allah has created them for his own ultimate purpose but people must remember that if other things were not there to help them do that they could not fulfil their purpose either. So treating other creatures with disdain or negligence or cruelty is not right thing to do for mankind. Here the Quran is telling people the whole universe is a one complete unit that works like a machine with all it contains as its components. Mankind are created to learn about the universe and then manage it the best possible way to ensure their own well being the best possible. 7] They help you carry your heavy loads to far off destinations as well as help you carry out your responsibilities to accomplish your goals which you could not otherwise do no matter hard you tried, that is how your Creator and Sustainer planned things to take care of you through His blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program. As explained already one must realise that the Quranic text is combination of words in a way that verses end up producing complementary meanings which cannot be translated directly as word for word or the message of the text is lost hence the need for explanation but even then it not possible for an individual to express the total message in the actual text in complete detail. In these verses the Quran uses words for naming animals but they equally apply to mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of people as well. Not only that but as explained already the way the Arabic language itself works means that text is not limited to any particular animal but to what it is and what it does or what it is used for. This is why people are given names of animals both in negative sense as well as positive sense. This is the reason we say some people are worse than animals yet we name people with words like sher Khan or mr eagle etc. It is because we admire strength and beauty or a particular characteristic or quality in an animal. It is for this reason we see many words in root based languages having both negative and positive concepts and meanings attached to them. When we say a donkey loaded with books, it does not necessarily mean an actual donkey with books on its back but a person who carries books giving impression of being highly educated but once such a person speaks or does things we come to know that he is nothing like the impression he creates instead he is just a foolish person. Likewise words could be expressing total things with all their qualities or merely a particular quality. The Quran uses definite article not only for defining a particular thing in its own category but also to define the word for its special use which means the word includes things belonging to all categories because they share a particular characteristic as explained already. This is why when the Quran uses word AL-ANAAM, it does not necessarily mean cattle but all sorts of things that give mankind some benefit in some way whereby they help mankind to come to existence and survive blissfully with dignity and security. It is because root based languages are more about things and what they do or are useful for or are used for. It is because things and what they do are sensible realities that are given names where as abilities are hidden realities till they are expressed through some sort of actions. People originally were less of thinkers and more of doers. This is why they did things first and then thought about it rather than thinking first and then doing things. It is this relationship that is changing in the human world ie people are becoming more and more aware about advantages of thinking before doing things. This is what is going to bring about a better world as more and more people get education and training about thinking and doing things, which is what planning is all about for the better future. Originally people were very limited in their ability to think and do things but after so many generations and guidance from Allah they have learned a lot and are about turn the corner. This is why future looks brighter for humanity as human population becomes literate, educated, thinking and skilful in planning and doing things. The Quran was revealed in Arabic so that we could learn sense and become a sensible people. Arabic connects mankind to past and as well as future in a special way. This is why Allah chose to reveal the Quran in Arabic because it could fulfil the purpose of his revelation in this age. It is because not all languages are suitable for revelations of Allah at all times as has been already explained in detail. The case is exactly the same with people ie none of the people is able to make sense of revelation of Allah at any time of one’s existence. A child must grow in every possible sense after birth to a required standard or level before it can decode the message revealed by its creator and sustainer in light of real world realities. So people first must grow up enough to be able try and make sense of the message of Allah and then use that message to see how life can be made worth living for themselves as a proper human community. To do all this is not possible without people cooperating with each other and using whatever is available to them to the best of their abilities. 8] He therefore brought about horses, mules and donkeys for you so that by combining them in a proper way for use you could create a beautiful world for yourselves because He has created things with whose characteristics and uses you are not yet familiar. Word KHAIL is from roots KHAA, YAA and LAAM and KHAA, WOW and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is work horse. Also a person full of pride and desire for dominance over others, to assess or estimate or figure out something or someone, be presumptuous about someone or something, to have some thoughts about someone or something, thunderstorm, someone who looks after or manages things nicely, a person who is so generous that he gives away all he has to others and therefore becomes penniless, the flag raised for the commander in chief, horse, something that is like horse in some respect eg in strength or speed or beauty or usefulness, a concept or an imagination or an idea, scarecrow, arrogance, delusion, ox-goad, hand, power, to fancy, to suppose, to guess or conjecture, to presuppose or foresee, spectre, ghost, apparition, shadow, pride, conceit, snobbery, horse riders, fence, obstacle, maternal uncle or aunt, mole, proud, to be made to appear in an imaginary form, to be made to look like something else, cavalry, riding force etc etc. Word BIGHAAL is from root BAA, GHAIN and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is something that results from bond of two different things. Also something of unclear identity, someone who is in two minds about something, confused, messed up, mule, lazy, lacking in intelligence, one who is based on double standard or is victim of double standard, one who sides with people on both sides of the fence, hypocrite, ambiguous, one who comes from two different races, dual national, tent, house, glue, ox-goad, something that is strong or powerful or durable, to be foolish or stupid, to affect stupidity, water spring, to stand guard, to be helpful etc etc. Word HAMEER is from root HAA, MEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is neither totally dark nor completely bright. Also donkey, ignorant or foolish or stupid person, something that is white or red in colour or has such stripes or streaks, greyscale or spectrum, something that runs away after getting a fright, anything that resembles a donkey in some respect, to dye or colour red, to be fair in colour, to be difficult, big boulders, to scrape off, to flay, ass or zebra, fence, water, head etc etc. Word TARKABOO is from root RAA, KAAF and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to ride on something. Also to use something in a particular way to get something done, to depend upon something for some reason, human origin and survival depended upon many things so in a way humanity rode on many things to come into existence and survive, a particular combination of things to play their parts to get the job done or to accomplish some goal or fulfil some purpose, to ride on the back of something for a journey, a mount, to mount or rise, to put one thing on top of another, stages of evolution or some other process etc etc. In this verse the Quran tells mankind that world is not all that you know about but there is a lot more you have not yet discovered but in time you will. A very clear indication that humanity is not created for banging its head on the floor before its creator but to appreciate him by using its head for thinking and developing ways and means to be able to know what he has created by discovering it and thereby appreciate his greatness through mankind’s own creativity. This verse completely undermines mullahs who tell people not to use their brains and thinking power and blindly follow their diktats unquestioningly in the name of God. This is how they turned ummah upside down from the position of leadership to not even good followers of rest of humanity. These verses also make clear that it is up to people themselves to decide for themselves what animals or ways and means they want to use as tools for what purposes eg they use some animals for food if they so decide and some for farming or food etc etc. So the idea that Allah has forbidden any animals for food is totally absurd as explained already. What Allah has done is provided things for people and left it on people what they use them for on basis of whether their use proves to be useful and beneficial or useless and harmful. If using some animal for riding proves harmful then that will be wrong use of that animal and likewise if eating some animal poses health risk then that too will be wrong use of the animal therefore such uses of animals could be declared illegal or unlawful by the proper human community itself on basis of harm its use could cause humanity. What it means is that an animal could be useful at one time for one purpose but useful for another purpose for another time. A lot of it therefore depends on how the main administration of the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah sees things for fulfilling needs of its people and monitors the process and sets up pilot projects and experiments. It can use public feedback, probing and complaints etc to monitor its performance as to what is going on in the community and take appropriate action as and when needed. This is how important it is to organise and regulate human community properly so that things made available to it could be employed to make this world a living paradise for mankind. 9] That is how it is made obvious for you the mankind that the proper way of life is that which leads to fulfilment of plan of Allah through well being of mankind whereas all other ways of life lead mankind to harms and destructions by hands of each other. Had Allah planned other than freewill for you the mankind, He could have programmed you all fully to be united needing no revealed guidance. Verses like this make clear plan of God for mankind ie people are free to choose their way of life using their brains and senses with help of guidance of Allah and the rest is up to people themselves to do as they please and face the consequences that have been made fully clear. This is how God proves his existence through propriety of his program. It is very scientific in the sense that if mankind sit down and gather all the data over a period of time and see how nations rose and fell and how they are going to fare in the future then they can see how comprehensively the Quran cover the whole concept of human history and where it is going to end up in future. Were people able to think this much 1500 years back in time to produce a book like the Quran? If we sit down to write a book, we end up making so many mistakes and keep writing things again and again till we get them write but these scriptures were written in times when there were no computers and not many people were that literate and educated. The Quran is also in a unique position because it is written in a language that uses roots instead of words with set meanings. This helps the Quranic text when it comes to explanation of it at any given time in any given place. This is why God sent his final message in a language that was not precision based because precision based languages do not have the flexibility that is needed for a message from God that is to remain in existence for a very long period of time or forever for people with variations in their abilities for learning it. Arabic like other languages has borrowed words but it kept its root based system alive by converting those adopted words into Arabic system. Attempts have been made to write dictionaries for converting Arabic words with meaning but they do not do the job when one needs to look at origins of words because then one has no choice but to go back to root system and the concepts attached to those roots. This root system should be taught in all Islamic schools and properly so that Muslims could really know why the Quran is so special even today and why the Quran can be explained in a certain way only and how so many wrong interpretations become so obvious if one knows the root system and its origin. One must realise that it is root concepts that are of vital importance not root meanings in dictionaries. Because root meanings could be added to dictionaries continuously as time goes on and people find more and more uses for those same concepts. This is like you invent a component and you can use it in various systems that people keep on inventing eg people invented metal wires for ropes and once electricity was discovered the wire became used as electricity conductor. This is exactly how Arabic root system works. This is why the Quran cannot be understood without people first becoming aware of things the Quran talks about. Otherwise it is like you are asking a baby please go and make me a cup of tea. The baby has no idea what you are talking about. You will have to wait till he has learned all things related to making tea then when you will tell him to do that the same baby who is now a grown up person will give you the cup of tea you ask for. So one can only understand as much of the Quran as much one has made oneself aware of things in the Quranic text. 10] It is He Who rains down water from the height for you so that you could drink from it and with it He brings forth greenery upon which you feed your cattle. 11] With it He also brings forth for you crops, olives, date-palms, grapes and every kind of fruit. Surely therein is a variety of evidences for people who observe things to think to draw proper conclusions. 12] He has made for your service the night and the day, the sun and the moon and likewise subjected to your service the galaxies full stars according to His universal plan, surely therein are evidences for people who observe things to learn sense through them. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind that this universe has been designed by Allah to serve mankind because mankind have been created with an ultimate purpose in mind by Allah which he has explained in detail in the Quran. This is why no other book in the world puts such emphasis on observation of things for learning sense that is 1500 plus years old other than the Quran. A unique kind of scripture that keeps emphasising the vital importance of human brain and senses as well as their proper use along with things mankind find as universal realities all around them so that they make sense of them and use them for their own well being and then mankind see throughout the universe power of their creator and sustainer and appreciate his creativity. Human beings could not think that far ahead nor to such an extent in depth and width as expressed in the Quran. The Quran is prompting mankind in order to expand their thinking to extent the field of their action. In other places the Quran talks about the extent of abilities Allah has created mankind with and that is why humanity is created with a huge potential second only to God himself. So in a way man is very much like God himself though not a God in actual fact nor he can be. This is why man will in due course find out or discover ways and means to travel throughout the universe. The earth is only a training ground for learning to able to do much, much bigger things yet to be attempted by man. 13] In this world He has evolved things for a variety of different uses to serve different purposes for you, surely therein are a variety of lessons for people who observe things and think them through thoroughly to fulfil those purposes. In this verse Allah is telling mankind that he has created everything for mankind for their various uses but it all depends on people themselves to discover those uses of things and go for what mankind have been created for. These verses very clearly tell mankind they are not created for make beliefs and useless rituals to please God with their baseless pooja paat. Mankind have been created with brains and senses to attempt great things that go with human brains, senses, bodies and the rest of universe and things in it. So man is not just an animal like other animals but a creature with huge potential that only its creator is fully aware of and man will only become aware of it with time in due course as it attempts the great undertakings generations and after generations. A clear proof of a specially designed creature rather than result of random accidents. It is not just man that is designed but all other things as well as and to yet greater extent. This is why what other animals can do man takes ages to learn and do. All because man is programmed to a lesser extent than other animals therefore has more range of choices and ability of more control over things. Variety of things is only for functional purposes otherwise if all things were exactly the same they could not function properly as a complete unit. If there had to be a bike then all its components could not be exactly the same or bike could not result likewise the universe could not be a universe unless it was the way it is ie with variety of thing each playing its own role in the grand scheme of things. It is because it is purpose that decides what is needed for fulfilling it and how it will do that and not random existence of individual things. This is why those who think Allah has no sensible purpose in doing all this talk nonsense about him and attribute things to him that are not fit for his being as a God in light of the purpose he has undertaken for himself to fulfil. It is for this reason miracles and magic or mysteries and myths have no place when one talks about God in light of the explanation of things the Quran offers. This is why God can do anything at any time he like does not go with Allah because if that happens then such a God cannot have any purpose in doing anything at all and the Quran repeatedly tells us that Allah did not create all this just for sake of it as a play thing. Not only that if we observe our universe and things in it then the way we find it working negates all such claims also. This clearly proves the Quranic explanation about origin, purpose and working of the universe is fine. 14] It is He Who has made the sea to work for you that is why you eat fresh meat from it and you bring out of it ornaments to wear and you also see ships ploughing their courses through it. He has brought about all this so that you seek blissful, dignified and secure existence by using His provisions for you properly. In all these verses God is telling mankind something very, very important and that is what mankind need to learn to do with these provided things. These verses do not mean all these things are given into slavery of mankind by God so when man tells water come land into my mouth it will obey and end up in one’s mouth. It means man is given the ability to use all these things for his own benefit but he will have to discover his that potential and use it to get what he is told. Man had to learn how to domesticate animals eg horses and donkeys or cattle etc. He had to learn farming and so on. So unless man gets up and starts learning and doing things he will not get anywhere. In fact if he does not catch fish himself or grow his own food he will die hungry. The idea the mullahs propagate is completely opposite of what the Quran tells mankind. They tell people if man becomes true slave of God by way of make beliefs and useless rituals then everything will become his slave so when he will order anything to happen it will be made to happen for him by God supernaturally as God made things to happen supernaturally for his prophets and saints etc. This is not what the Quran teaches instead it teaches man to use his brain, senses and body to discover his own abilities to begin with then use those abilities to discover other things and their uses and benefit from them. This is why ummah need to get out of mullah following mindset, attitude and behaviour if they want a better world the Quran promises mankind by way of its purposeful program for mankind. Nothing will happen without people doing it for themselves. Allah does not change state of a nation unless it works towards the change it wants. Make beliefs and useless rituals do not help at all try all you like. Also it goes without saying that verses such as this one do not mean just what is stated in them but each such statement carries all possible complementary meanings as well as has been already explained in detail, so no point in going into detail of things again and again. 15] He brought about highlands and lowlands on the earth so that you could live on the earth in case it does away with you and He evolved rivers and roads so that you could find your way around thereby Word RAWAASEE is from root RAA, SEEN and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is something that acts as stabilizer for something regardless the thing is moving or at rest. Also weights in ships that damp oscillation while ship is moving through the sea, weights that act as anchors that hold boats in one place while on the surface of the water in the sea, any liquid that becomes firm or set, water that freeze and becomes ice, something that helps keep something from jittering or flutter or oscillation or instability in some way, mountain that act as weights to prevent the earth from jittering while it is in flight orbiting around the sun, pegs or stakes that are pushed into the ground to hold the tent in place so that it does not fly away due to wind, weight or something that helps something stop moving about or breaking loose, to stop something from jittering or becoming unstable, to help something become properly balanced or stable, to stop something from moving, to hold something in a stationary position, things used for holding in upright position large round bottom cooking pots to stop them from rolling over and spilling their contents, mountain or mountain formation, head, chief, tooth or stake, hook or something upon which something hangs or depends for some reason, to come to standstill, to dock, to anchor, to prevent from faltering, to sink firmly into the ground, to mend, to repair, to effect reconciliation, to break into a downpour, to cause to settle, to fix firmly, immoveable, standing firmly, something large or greatly influential, a huge pile of something, a large number of people acting as a single community, particles of sand or dust gathered into a sand dune or mound etc etc. 16] as well as landmarks and the galaxies full of stars to help them become knowledgeable about their destinations. Word ALAAMAAT means clues that help gain knowledge about something ie clues to destination or goal etc. If there were no milestones and sign boards along the way one could not know where one is and where one is going and how far one has come and how far more one has to go. So it is things that help one become knowledgeable by getting to know them. This is why the universe is called AALAM which has same root AIN, LAAM and MEEM as word ILM meaning knowledge. One cannot know anything about anything unless one comes across it in some way. It is because mankind come across the creation in form of the universe and the revelation in form a book that people become aware of their creator and sustainer. Here in these verses a point is made that if there were no lows and highs on the surface of the earth then earth would have been under water and people could not live in the water because they were meant for living on the land. Also elsewhere in the Quran it is explained in detail that everything was brought about here on the earth by God before bringing about man. The idea seems to be that man is given basic things for developing himself to a stage whereat man will be able to one day create his own things for himself ie he will discover ways of becoming self sufficient. It is because if he is created for spreading throughout the universe then he is going to come up with ideas we cannot even think about just now. From the Quran it seems that man is given the potential to be something like God himself to some extent. A very powerful creature whose limits are only known to God himself. This means man could be able to reproduce animals, vegetation and even water etc. In short by keep studying nature it is possible that one day man could recreate life support system for human community that could help people live on other planets in far away galaxies. So humanity instead of worrying about human population needs to concentrate on the ways of life it has adopted that do not let it make use of full human potential locked up in the human population to move ahead full speed. The more people we have and more we work together as one and utilise human population sensibly the closer we get to discovering yet more hidden realities in the universe. Islamic way of life as proposed by the Quran is proper for humanity in two ways a)it demands that humans only reproduce as much as they can successfully utilise as a proper human community and b)they must make progress by working hard together as one people to show they are a highly creative creatures. It is because Islam is all about well planned, well organised and well regulated human society that is ever moving forward not standing still let alone regressing. Unfortunately this is not the state of existence of Muslim ummah just now instead it is in terrible state of affairs. These verses also mention galaxies full of stars as landmarks for guidance of humanity. It means attention of mankind is drawn to space travel and that some galaxies and stars will be helpful for mankind for travel in space. This could be thousands of years away or may be possible in not too distant future depends on how soon humanity discovers the secrets of the universe that will help it do that. As explained already the verses of the Quran look at things in various contexts eg in context philosophy of history, in context of philosophy of science, in context philosophy of human society and social organisation and regulation, in context of political and economic set up and management etc etc. This is why complimentary meanings of words and verses must be taken for granted as part and parcel of the Quranic text because that is the way language itself works in the context of the Quran as already explained in detail. For example, word NAHAAR not only means day because it is called day in the dictionary but because sunlight lifts curtain of darkness of night from things and they become obvious for people to see and people can see them for what they are in day light which they cannot see in darkness of the night. This is why day also means light of knowledge or bright future based upon knowledge and knowledge based planning and doing things. It is this sort of knowledge about origin and development of Arabic language that helps understand the Quranic text properly. No wonder the Quran is revealed in Arabic so that mankind could learn sense. If people do not have such understanding of Arabic language then even if they happen to be Arabs they cannot understand the message of the Quran. It is because things only make sense in their own proper contexts not otherwise. This is why when the Quran uses word FULK it does not mean just ship or boat but also what boat is and what it does or is used for. It is a mean for travelling whereby people travel or move about and that is why the very same root means orbit or a mechanism for survival. Mankind have survived to this day using various things to help them survive as mechanisms or ways and means. This is why when Allah says he has created cattle, horses and donkeys etc for mankind to eat and travel etc, it carries all sorts of complementary meanings that fit our own observations and scientific discoveries. This is why the Quran is a comprehensive book sent in a special language at a particular time. So understanding the Quran properly is not a matter of one just picking a copy of the Quran from the shelf in a library and start reading it and will know all it has to say after finishing reading it instead one will have to ponder over its origin, its purpose and how it is supposed to be used to help fulfil its purpose. Many of the things named in the Quran are hidden from mankind for the time being for their purposes or how they work to fulfil their purposes eg Allah talks about JIBAAL-mountains, the question is what do we know so far about mountains so that we could interpret the verses of the Quran properly? This is why no matter how hard anyone tries to interpret the Quran fully and properly one will remain very limited because human knowledge about things is incomplete despite the Quran drawing our attention to things because we have not yet reached the stage to know things fully. Just pointing out things is not enough to know about them they also have to be within our reach to experiment with them. Therefore such mistakes in the interpretations of the Quranic text are understandable and are inevitable by people which are based upon mere assumptions than direct experience of things. Our knowledge about the Quran will therefore keep on increasing generation after generation due to new discoveries which will give us better understanding of things than we already have. No wonder the Quran tells us as human beings we can only learn as much as we can of the knowledge from Allah but cannot learn as much as Allah himself knows and has told us in the Quran. A clear proof that the Quran is a book beyond production of humanity because it contains such information that mankind have yet to discover and figure out. So if mankind have yet to discover and figure out things then how could they write a book about it? It also proves stupidity of mullahs who tell us that the Quran has been already fully explained by the messenger of Allah and then all one has to do is see what they have written in their books to see their ignorance. It does not take long to see mistake after mistake in their works and that is why attributing stupidity to Allah and his books or messengers is a very stupid thing to do. Stupidity is not copyright only of mullahs but there are so many people out there who claim to be atheists because they think scriptures are written by people. They hardly know how language came about and developed or how it works nor have they read scriptures in their original texts in their proper contexts, so one has to wonder what kind of scholarship is offered in the universities that people make such nonsense claims when they have not even reached the stage of learning needed to express a genuine opinion about something and particularly about allegedly divine scriptures. We hardly know the planet earth and things in it yet and the Quran talks about world full of galaxies so mankind will only be able to talk sense about world yet beyond us once we reach that stage of learning and that looks a long way away for the time being. 17] Is He Who has originated all this and taught mankind how to live properly in this universe like the one who cannot originate a thing or teach anyone how to live in this world properly, why don’t you therefore reflect the implications of all that for learning to understand things properly? In this verse man is challenged to think why he is taking other rulers than God when it is God alone who has created everything and each and every person assumes or believes so? Why man is giving credit belonging to God to anyone else by acting in a stupid way? It is precisely the reason God created man so that he appreciates God’s expression in form of his creativity of the universe and the creation of man himself yet man instead of doing that does the opposite. God is not angry on man for doing just that but for the reason that by doing that he faces consequences and then he blames God for those consequences. God told him don’t take other rulers because that will make your life hell through inflicting harms and destructions upon each other. Man goes ahead and takes other rulers and then those rulers make his life hell as God already forewarned him and then he blames God for it. The other point made here is that God can only be such a being that was not created by anyone else. In coming verse and elsewhere the Quran challenges man to think about it, how can those things be Gods which themselves have been created by God? The Quran thereby defines the meaning of word God ie uncreated but able to create. This is why if one studies Surah 112 AL IKHLAAS, it tells people about oneness of God ie God is the only being of his kind and that nothing is like unto him. If one thinks through the idea of ever existing being it makes perfect sense because it is not possible to prove even rationally that anything can exist from nothingness so either things had to be there already or they had to be brought into existence by something that was already there. So there had to be some intelligent being that was able to create things and that is why things exist. It is because the universe is not ever existing or intelligent nor able to create things therefore even the big bang needs explanations as to what made it go bang and even if it did all by itself what turned it all in to a fully organised and fully regulated universe? So lot more explanations become necessary for explaining self existing universe than are needed for an ever existing being. Then existence of the Quran as word of that being makes the case more compelling for existence of God. However all this does not mean man should stop looking for answers for his questions. It is because the more man discovers things for himself the better he will understand the word of God. It is like case of a child who has never seen a tiger. No matter how much you try to him what a tiger he will have little idea what the actual tiger is till he himself one day discovers the tiger. Likewise you can try and explain all you like to a friend of yours the city or country you live in if he has never seen it, he will not be able to imagine the actual reality till he has seen it with his own eyes. So more and more information helps better understanding of something but never the real thing till the real thing becomes known fully which is not possible in case of God. 18] His provisions are in such abundance that even if you the mankind decided to use all of the provisions of Allah, you will never be able to go through them all because Allah has secured all the needs and wants of mankind by way of His blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program. This verse tells us that God is such a provider that he has provided humanity with things for its protection as well as such things as ensure its development as explained under first verse of the Quran BISMILLAH. When people are born they have two things already there ie the universe and the revelation, it is then up to people themselves to discover them both through learning about them by means of each other. The major point however is that all this you are given so that you people survive and develop to a stage where at you appreciate your creator and sustainer through using ability of creativity of your own. This is why people must not waste their lives by holding onto make beliefs and useless rituals rulers, money lenders and their mullahs try to indoctrinate them with or they will live and die in confusion. 19] So that Allah lets you the mankind make obvious your hidden abilities that are not yet obvious to you. All things are provided to mankind so that people discover their own abilities through trials and errors and learning and teaching to accomplish huge tasks that mankind themselves could not even imagine that they could carry out. Verses like these clearly state purpose of human creation ie so that one day mankind rise to level of such knowledge that brings universal management within their grasp for their own well being. Thus glory of God will become obvious to man. This verse does not rule out mankind actually discovering even God himself one day though not completely due to human limitations. 20] Those whom ignorant people take for rulers other than Allah upon whom they rely for fulfilment of their needs have created nothing at all to fulfil their needs with and have been created themselves and are dependent upon Allah for fulfilment of their own needs so they have no rightful claim to sovereignty therefore they should not be taken as rulers. These verses explain fully what is meant by word God and what polytheism is all about as far as God is concerned and why existence of God is a necessity. It is because nothing can come into existence out of nothingness. Only an already existing intelligent being can bring things into existence. How he brings about existence of matter or energy remains a question to be explored by mankind. In physics energy is assumed to be ever existing because it is assumed that it cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed only. Matter is frozen form of energy that is why when atoms are broken the energy they contain is released. The reason science assumes idea of energy being ever existing is because God created it and only God knows how to destroy it. It is because mankind do not know how to create energy or destroy it therefore science does not contradict existence of God. Also humanity has only started learning things so it is not the end of learning process but just the beginning. Who know what the future holds for humanity? Mankind still have a lot to discover both about the universe as well as the revelation of Allah. It is very much possible that mankind will never find out how to create energy or to destroy it but even if they do it will still not mean that anything can come into existence out of nothing all by itself because it will be man who creates or destroys energy ie it will not mean things can come into existence all by themselves but through active intelligent being called man. If anything it will explain to man himself how God created energy out of nothingness. 21] They themselves are powerless and stuck having no knowledge how to live or control and regulate their own lives, that is why they have no idea how nations rise to power through removing obstacles in their way therefore they even themselves were in need of Our guidance. This verse tells us that mankind are not only created by God but are not even aware of themselves and how they should remove obstacles in their way to progress so that they could develop to their full potential smoothly and speedily instead of fighting each other like animals due to lack of proper sense of things. It is up to parents to choose to have children or not and not up to children to choose their parents. Likewise it was up to God to create what he created and not up to creatures because they were not there to be part of discussion. This is why Allah set-up things as it suited his objective and planned thing that way and let them happen as per his set out arrangement or design. 22] Be aware therefore that your ruler is only one and those who commit not to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind in accordance with His set out end goal for mankind their minds refrain from learning about it out of their ignorance based sense of dominance. The reason mankind are taking more time to reach their heavenly set out goal is because mankind are ignoring need for divine guidance which teaches them how to make progress faster with less effort. It is because by living on the basis of foundation provided by God people can cut down their unnecessary confusion, effort and suffering. It is like you are going to a place about which you know nothing and where you have never been before but your parents know things about it because they have been there and they give you directions about it and why you need to go there but you ignore those directions and just keep going without any idea where you are heading and why or how you will get there. This is why a lot of it is self imposed painful suffering that humans are suffering from. Self learning is much slower way of learning than being taught by a teacher also. 23] Allah surely helps mankind actualise their potentialities about which they themselves are unaware but He does not help those self centred people who do not see beyond their personal vested interests whereby they make life hell for others. 24] That is why if they are asked, what has been revealed by your Creator and Sustainer? They say, fictitious stories about the ancients. 25] It is for this reason they bear full responsibility for bringing about situations and circumstances whereby revolts in time become inevitable and that is why they bear responsibility for painful suffering and destruction of those whom they mislead due to their stupidity. Alas! How stressfully painful is the result of their such irresponsible mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. It is precisely because mankind ignore message of Allah instead of taking it seriously that they live their lives on basis personal gains at the expense of each other instead of living as a united human family caring for each other and sharing fruits of their labour with each other therefore come about divisions, rivalries and animosities and so comes about hatred leading people to fighting with each other and wars. The result is instability and painful suffering as well as destruction. So it is very clear who is to be blamed for all this carry on in the world and why. 26] Surely rulers, money lenders and mullahs before them always conspired against Our program, constitution and law for the well being of mankind but Allah shook off their make beliefs based social systems, structures and practices to benefit themselves at the expense of their masses by the very foundation and the whole institutions fell apart resulting in their own destruction crushing them under its own weight, that is how the results of their own actions came upon them from where they did not even suspect because they thought they had everything worked out and under control. This verse leaves one in no doubt that people with ambitions and desires for domination over others conspire against them and it is part of their mindset, attitude and behaviour to oppose divine program, constitution and law because it throws them off their courses. Even today nations that have better opportunities for education fund researches on scriptures to try and undermine the actual scriptural message by filling heads of people with useless, harmful or destructive information. The result is human population more divided than ever before. A recipe for breaking down the human community spirit completely but if people will keep going in this direction then tipping point will be reached in due course and human population will end up in a terrible painful suffering and destruction. As dominant elites everywhere in the world keep using and abusing their masses the foundations of those societies crumble and roofs fall down on their floors. All because masses can only go along or support their masters to a certain limit. 27] That is how on the day of uprising He leaves such people to face humiliation they bring upon themselves and people who used to warned them ask them, where are those rulers whom you used to assign right of rulership in the kingdom instead of abiding by rule of law that was provided by Allah and on their behalf you used to wage wars on those who were sent with guidance by Allah? Those who had been given the program as missionaries also say, today there is only doom and gloom for those who rejected and opposed guidance of Allah. 28] To such leading people come Our missionaries to fulfil to them results of their own actions in form of harm and destruction they inflict upon their own masses yet they offer false justification to them saying, we worked for a peaceful society and we have done nothing harmful and destructive. They are replied, not at all rather Allah has made it obvious to us what you have done to your masses through results of your own thoughts and actions. 29) Now suffer the consequences by ending up in hell of your own making. In fact, terrible is the situation in which the dominant and influential people find themselves in due course. 30] On the other hand when those whose mindset, attitude and behaviour is consistent with guidance of Allah and humanity are asked by the missionaries, what has been sent by your Creator and Sustainer? They say, that which is beneficial for us to better our world. Unity, peace, progress and prosperity is the result of actions of such people in the life as it is and their state of existence yet to come will be even better if they continued on that path. How splendid is the state of existence of those who do what is proper for blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community. 31] Blissful kingdoms they will enter wherein will flow rivers of all things of their needs and desires. That is how Allah rewards efforts of such people as a result of their own thoughts and actions, 32] To such come Our missionaries to fulfil to them results of their actions in form of works they do which benefit their own human kind saying, you have accomplished peace and security through unity between yourselves therefore you have managed to enter blissful, dignifying and secure life providing kingdom you have created for yourselves by your own hard work. Each people are fulfilled the promise made by Allah in his revelation through their appropriate administrations in their respective lands. This is why good people have good administrations to work for them to lead them to their goals according to their chosen guidelines and bad people have bad rulers who deliver to them what they have accepted for themselves. This is why tyrants deliver to their masses tyranny and oppression in their kingdoms and peace loving people choose administrations that can deliver them unity, peace, progress and prosperity. This is why masses always need to be prepared for one or the other to come to their way but that is only possible if people take message of Allah seriously. MALAAIKAH talked about here are administrators or missionaries of the proper human community put in place by them as a community to serve them but when any such land is attacked by tyrants or their missionaries are not allowed to deliver the message of Allah then they can arrive at the door step of tyrants who rule masses through tyranny and oppress them. In these verses the Quran is making clear to mankind that if any of you does not treat others as equal human beings with respect then such a person deserves no respect by other human beings. It is because you can either live as a brotherhood or as crowd full of animosity with each other. In a brotherhood people are given security by each other whereas in a crowd of enemies there are no friends so all watch their backs themselves and live in fear of each other because you never know when someone is going to stab you in your back. 33) So what are these opponents of Our program waiting for other than the fact that Our missionaries come to them and fulfil to them the decree of their Creator and Sustainer? If they are waiting for facing the consequences of their harmful and destructive actions against their own human community then so did those who destroyed themselves before them. It was not Allah who inflicted them with any harm and destruction but that they themselves inflicted harm and destruction upon each other instead of living like a proper human community. 34] That is how in the end harmful and destructive results of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other overtook them by surprise and the very idea of uprising at which they laughed hemmed them in. In other words, that is how their environmental pot exploded due to so many social problems they kept on creating for themselves when it reached beyond its boiling point. People need to become aware of the fact why there take place bloody revolutions every now and again throughout the world. It is because the wrong way of life people adopt for themselves as a population creates divisions among them on basis of power and wealth and as these divisions increase and become acute social breakdown becomes inevitable and so fights and wars between different groups break out due to fire of hatred people ignite and spread. If they adopted the way of life advised by Allah such things could not happen because the way of life advised by Allah unites people for their peace, progress and prosperity therefore if people have blissful, dignified and secure existence then why will fight with each other? The only reason for fights between people is their remaining ignorant, illiterate and uneducated due to which they cannot think properly for the wider human community in a deeper way. The whole purpose of revelation of Allah is to help mankind educate themselves to a higher level to see things in a proper perspective and context so that then they could interact and participate properly as a proper human community in this world which could then lead them to a life that is promised by the Quran. So long as people will not learn to participate in their societies properly or will not interact with each other properly for ensuring well being of each other things will continue as they are, so the cycle of violence will keep on repeating every now and then as it has been always. 35) Those who take for rulers other than Allah say, had Allah not predestined us to abide by rule of any other than Him then neither we nor our forefathers would have done that and we had not forbidden anything other than what He had forbidden. Such excuses were put forth also by those who perished before them. However responsibility upon Our messengers is only to convey Our message loud and clear. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind that people have been created with ability to choose their actions, be it within given range of the plan of Allah. So it is not a case of Allah forcing people to deliberately inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains instead it is a case of Allah guiding people how to live properly with each other in this world therefore putting blame on Allah for peoples’ own misbehaviour is not justified in light of explanations given in the Quran. 36] No doubt We brought forth a messenger for every people saying to them, follow program of Allah for accomplish His set out goals according to His guidelines and let not the forces that lead away from His guidance take control of you. After making that clear Allah left people to guide themselves properly or be of those who face the outcome of their own harmful and destructive actions against each other. So travel through the world and see what was the outcome of thoughts and actions of those who denied each other Our set rights to Our provision and that way rejected and opposed Our program, constitution and law. 37] No matter how eager you people may be for their guidance Allah does not guide such people who choose to go their own way and that is why such people are beyond any help by anyone. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind that Allah helps those who support his message by their thoughts and actions and none can help those who reject and oppose his message. The message is clear that one can only help a person if a person is willing to accept the help on offer but if instead a person rejects and opposes the offer of help then one is on his own to do as one likes and face the consequences. 38] They habitually say to each other in the name of Allah, guidance allegedly revealed by Allah will never be able to raise any fallen people to blissful, dignified and secure life? No, that is not the case rather His guidance will raise fallen people to blissful, dignified and secure life if they understood it properly and followed it faithfully and it is a promise He has made binding upon Himself though most of the mankind for the time being do not learn it properly nor follow it faithfully so they have no idea how it is going to do that. This verse explains what people say about guidance of Allah and why they say so. It is because they just talk about it without actually studying it. Any person knows that if there is a God and that he has really sent a message for mankind to live by then it is not possible that God will fail in his design or planning. The problem is not with God and his revelation but with people as to how they look at things and why they do that. To say anything about anything one has to have the right to do so and that right can only come from knowing something properly. If a people have no idea what something is and start talking about it, their word is not a valued judgement about that thing. It is because only a proper study of a case gives any verdict about it its true value. As for fallen nations not being able to rise again though guidance of Allah, no movement succeeds overnight because things take time once a movement starts, the same is true in case of a movement that is based upon message of Allah. The main hurdle is convincing people to fight for widespread literacy and education and the rest will follow as people develop ability of thinking and realising their problems and start looking for their solutions. That is the time when deen of Allah can become accepted widely due to offering genuine solutions to problems of humanity. Mission of Allah is a long term project for mankind to work on due to people being born ignorant, illiterate and uneducated, so education of mankind has to take its time. The project of guidance began with Adam long time after creation of mankind because human beings remained unaware about themselves as well as each other and rest of things in the universe over a very long period of time. Only when they became self aware and aware of real world realities to a degree some looked for guidance and that is when Allah sent them his guidance they looked for through Adam. This mission will complete once each and every person of responsible age lives by way of life advised by Allah. The length of time when this can happen depends upon how fast the message of Allah is spreading throughout the world and how well people are responding to it. As explained already the predictions in the Quran are condition based not clock based. Events can only take place as explained according to set-up and planning of Allah. To begin with Allah knew what he wanted to do and how he wanted to do thing so he set-up the universe to fulfil his plan within which he gave mankind their role within his set limits. Had he not done that then his plan could not succeed because it will have become an open ended thing. This is why he had to set the range of time as well as events to suit his project. This is why it is possible to predict some events but not others. The predictable events are only those which must happen no matter what because they influence the direction of plan and the end result as required by Allah. It is like a person designs a project and the project has to have a beginning and an end and certain cues to ensure that project remains on track for the required end result so the rest can be allowed to happen any way it does so long as it does not change the outcome or affect the direction controlling events. This is why people only have free will and abilities within that range because set-up systems and laws of Allah control each and every action and reaction to ensure the ultimate end result. 39] He will fulfil His promise of establishment of His advised way of life to mankind so that thereby He demonstrates to them the benefits of His advised way of life in actuality about which they dispute in order to make it obvious to the mankind that the rejecters and opponents of His program are denying themselves and each other blissful, dignified and secure life deliberately. These verses are a very powerful message indeed that in due course no matter what people think about the Quranic program they will be forced by their own situations and circumstances to keep moving towards the same end gradually bit by bit always. If we look back at human history, humanity is not where it was thousands of years ago. As it is learning more and more through interaction within the world, things are forcing a continuous change for the better as people fight each other over wrong they do to each other. Each time a new equilibrium is reached. Tribalism ended into kingdoms, kingdoms ended up in to huge empires under kings, emperors and priesthood and after collapsing of empires world has become slave to money lenders and when that saturates mankind will have no choice but move on to way of life already told in the Quran ie rule of law of Allah. That is because humanity will have had enough of fighting each other and will look for peace and peace will not come unless humanity accepts terms and conditions laid down in the Quran for unity and unity cannot succeed unless people work hard to make progress and prosper. That is because Quran already told people to live for each other and not against each other if they want a blissful, dignified and secure existence. Any way of life that offers people unity, peace, progress and prosperity through mutual cooperation and brotherhood for ensuring fulfilment of all needs of everyone is the only way forward for them or they cannot get out of cycle of inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for looting and plundering each other and seeking dominance by trying to undermine each other. 40) As for raising fallen nations to blissful, dignified and secure life again, surely it is only a matter of initiating the process for Us for anything We decide upon doing so all We have to do is initiate the process through Our set-up systems and mechanisms and Our will appears as an expressed reality in due course. 41] Therefore those who migrate mentally and physically for the fulfilment of program of Allah after suffering victimization at the hands of each other for personal gains We will certainly bless them with a blissful, dignified and secure life providing beautiful kingdom of their own so the outcome will be much greater for their efforts in the end if they could realise the importance of actualising Our advised way of life. The Quran repeatedly talks about mental or physical shift or both because the only way people can bring about a change for the better is by changing the way they live and if they are not allowed to live the way they want to live in a place then they need to make a move for another place. No matter what the move first and foremost has to come within each person and then it should be taken to others in order to convince them to shift their minds as well so that people have support of each other for the way of life advised by Allah. Only if people will succeed in convincing each other for a better way of life things will shift or they will remain the same. Place shifting could only be a temporary solution because if people do not change within themselves or they fail to take initiative to shift each other’s minds for the better then no matter how many places people go to in the end all places will become the same kind of hell holes as they shift from looking for a better way of life. So not only creating a new and a better human society is a problem for people but also its maintenance as well. This is why each time messengers of Allah succeeded in giving their people a proper human community they did not take long in undoing it after their messengers died. People did not live long as a brotherhood that took care of each other and turned bloodthirsty enemies because they turned lazy and crazy by not paying needed attention to messages of Allah their prophets left behind for them. The situation of Muslim ummah is before the very eyes of mankind throughout the world today. This is not the ummah the final messenger of Allah left behind. If people want to become that ummah once again the Quran is the way forward not blind following of mullahs. 42] Such are the ones who can face sensibly and successfully the harms and destructions inflicted upon them by their opponents with steadfastness and courage because they rely open the set-up systems and laws of their Creator and Sustainer working hard to change things for the better as per His guidance. The Quran does not tell people to suffer oppression and suppression or injustice and cruelty quietly but to take action against it beginning with education and training of minds of people. 43] Behold, We never sent any messengers to people before you but they were people full of courage whom We inspired with Our program. Ask those who strive hard to learn Our message properly and spread it faithfully if you the people have not become aware of this fact already. Allah never sent any messenger who was an ignorant person or a person who lacked courage. Coward people cannot take on a any mission nor can they fulfil it, particularly when going gets tough. All messengers were sent by Allah with books. If any messenger was not given a book of his own then he was sent in life time of the already existing messenger of Allah with a book. For example, Abraham was sent with a scripture and Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Joseph etc used the same scripture. Moses was given the book and Aaron had to share the same and so did messengers that were sent after Moses till Jesus. Jesus was last messenger of Allah from among children of Israel with a book of his own. Likewise Muhammad was sent with a final book as the final messenger from Allah to the mankind. There is no mention of any book or messenger from Allah in the Quran after Muhammad and the Quran declares him as the final prophet from Allah. So anyone who claims to be a prophet from Allah after Muhammad is a false claimant of prophethood because there has not been any prophet after Muhammad since his life time to share the book with him nor has there been any messenger with a book of his own. The Quranic context explains the set-up of Allah about sending prophets and scriptures for mankind and no new book or prophet can fit that set-up. Not only that but also there is no such book in the world today which claims to be equal to the Quran or could be proven equal to the Quran. A clear proof for those who have the wisdom to know this for a fact. As for tricksters, the world is full of them who claim supernatural powers for themselves or others and run this as a business for profit victimising those who are ignorant, illiterate and uneducated around the world. In other words make beliefs and useless rituals are a widespread curse whereby people fall victims to all sorts of problems and difficulties. This cannot stop unless mankind help themselves and each other through proper education and training about real world realities and message of Allah. 44] We sent them with clear goals and guidelines in form of scriptures. Likewise We have sent to you the people this program in form of the Quran so that you too learn it properly and explain it to the rest of mankind faithfully as to what has been sent for them so that they may think it through thoroughly. 45] So are those who scheme terrible conspiracies against His program for unity, peace, progress and prosperity sure that Allah will not leave them to themselves to fall in an unending cycle of inflicting harms and destructions upon each other or that Allah will not let them fall victim to painful suffering and destruction through sources they do not pay attention to therefore they do not take proper preventative measures against them? In these verses Allah is drawing attention of people with desire to dominate others by undermining them to consequences of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against guidance of Allah as well as proper human community. One direct loss of doing such things is internal strife within human population and the other loss that comes from natural world because instead of paying attention to nature as to how it works and using that information to take advantage of it people become victims of it eg time spent by people in trying to undermine each other could be spent in figuring out ways to cope with natural world by figuring out how to cope with storms and earthquakes etc to take advantage of them. 46] Or are they sure that He will not catch them in some self created trouble in the course of their journey of life that leaves them no way for their escape? 47] Or are they sure that He will still not find them in trouble even after alerting them about the danger? By alerting you about all these dangers your Creator and Sustainer intends to ensure your well being through His blissful, dignifying and secure existence providing program. 48] Why don’t they observe things carefully which Allah has evolved to learn lessons from them as to how Allah secures them in their existence, purpose and function protecting them in every way against failures because they faithfully adhere to set-up systems and laws of Allah. 49] That is how to set-up systems and laws of Allah faithfully adheres all that exists in all the far away galaxies as well as this galaxy be they masses of people or their administrators and they do not try to dominate each other by undermining each other. 50] They follow the course of action their Creator and Sustainer has set for them to govern their existence, purpose and behaviour with precision and that is how they fulfil the purpose for which they are created and programmed. The Quran repeatedly draws attention of mankind to natural world and themselves as to how they come to existence and for what purpose and how they work to fulfil their purposes for their creation by faithfully following the programs of Allah for them and so should people follow his guidance faithfully to ensure their own well being. As explained already things are programmed to work in two ways ie one is to work as part of nature as programmed and the other self programming through observing the natural world. It is the self programming part that mankind have problem with and they are told to look at natural world and learn from it how to organise and regulate into a proper human community. Once people have mastered this idea things will stop being difficult any more for mankind because it is only the starting point that is difficult for people to figure out and do. 51] That is why Allah has advised mankind that you should not live by two different standards by ascribing to two different rulers because the truth is Allah alone is the one who has the right to sovereignty of this kingdom of the universe. Therefore it is fulfilling of My program alone that you should be concerned about. 52] Behold, to Him alone belongs all that is in all the galaxies including this galaxy so to Him alone belongs the right to set-up the rule of law for ensuring the well being of mankind that is lasting, will you still abide by rule of law of any other than Allah? 53] Whatever sustenance in form of provisions you enjoy are from Allah alone so when you are in trouble upon His set-up systems and laws alone you should rely for help to free yourselves from troubles and difficulties. 54] Even though it is His set-up systems and laws alone that free you from troubles and difficulties yet no sooner you are relieved from troubles and difficulties that most of you the mankind run to live by rule of law of their self-imposed rulers instead of abiding by rule of law of their Creator and Sustainer 55] as if to show their contempt for the favours that We have bestowed upon them. Please yourselves as you see fit but soon you will come to know the outcome of your make belief and useless rituals instead of understanding and following Our program. 56] Ignorant masses freely give up of what We have provided for them as their right on advice of their self imposed rulers and priests in the name of things for which they have no proof whatsoever not realising their tricks whereby they rob them of their rights. On basis of this program, constitution and law of Allah, you the rulers, money lenders and priests will certainly be held accountable in due course for rejecting, opposing and fabricating lies against it. 57] In fact they all will be held accountable because some attribute to Allah wrong foundations for building a proper human community upon and others support them and despite His majesty rejecting and condemning these foundations they go along with whatever harmful and destructive ambitions and desires comes to their minds. 58] It is because whenever the blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program is announced to any of the nations its rulers, priests and money lenders become entangled in conspiracies against it trying to confuse its given sense of direction out of disdain and spite for the well being of their own masses, 59] hiding their harmful and destructive motives from their people due to blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program that is announced to their population, asking themselves whether they should go along with it unwillingly or bury it in the dust of confusion. Beware! Destructive is the decision their rulers, money lenders and priests arrive at about the blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program of Allah and their own human population. In these verses the Quran brings to our attention how rulers, money lenders and priest among populations work together to trick their masses in order to keep their people away from the message of Allah that is delivered to them by messengers of Allah and other missionaries by way of inventing alternative ways of life in order to save their dominant positions among their masses due to their ignorance based arrogance whereby they ruin themselves and their people by preventing them from creating a blissful, dignified and secure life for themselves with help of guidance from Allah and with help of each other. In the end all people of such populations end up destroyed by hands of each other if they do not wake up in time and accept the message of Allah and rise to heights of excellence. As explained already Allah has planned this world for his own reasons and none of the mankind can derail it from its ultimate destination as set by Allah and explained in detail in the Quran. 60] For those who do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to Our program, goals and guidelines for ensuring bright future for humanity the comparison of their thoughts and actions can only be to thoughts and actions that are harmful and destructive but the comparison of thoughts and actions of those who think and act according to guidance of Allah can only be with thoughts and actions that are beneficial and constructive therefore excellent because rule of law of Allah is based upon His wisdom. For a people who think and do things their own way independent of guidance of Allah no matter what they think or do is merely conjecture based therefore cannot be of benefit for humanity because people lack proper knowledge about themselves and other things. On the other hand people who are worldly wise as well as have knowledge of guidance of Allah can think and do a lot of good for themselves and each other. Of course, people are people and can never be free of human errors 100% but because they know what is right and what is wrong so if they do something wrong and become aware of it then they have good chance of correcting their errors as far as it humanity possible for them. 61] If Allah punished people for their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other as these people assume that he does then He could not have left even a single person from among them in this world but instead He gave people respite for learning through trial and error within a set framework for a set purpose but if they fail to discover their potentialities in given time then they can neither stay in this world beyond that for a moment nor can they go from this world even a moment earlier. In context it seems to mean the priests keep portraying God as a tyrant who will put people in hell fire for ever over little things. This verse is actually challenging that notion by telling people God did not create people for burning them in hell forever because he created them for discovering their own abilities and reaching their set goals through self learning by way of experiences using their brains and senses and revelations of Allah. However if people fail to become self aware or universally aware then they have failed to use their provided abilities to reach the goals set for them. Allah does not wants to be known by mankind as a tyrant but as a creator and sustainers who has provided mankind with all that they will ever need. This is why when mullahs attribute all sorts of nonsense to God in the name of religion, God condemns it as is made clear in the next verse. Even human beings themselves do not want to be known by bad names yet they see nothing wrong in attributing God with such falsehood due to their foolishness. 62] They attribute to Allah things with which they themselves hate to be attributed and instead they attribute themselves with all things that make them look valuable by their own tongues falsely. Let there be no doubt that by doing so the only thing they bring about for themselves is fire of hatred amongst themselves that consumes them before others. This verse is responding to the social, political, economic and religious nonsense that people attribute to God thinking they are doing something great. Socially people tell us they can set-up their human society as they wish. Politically people tell us God has no business in state affairs or politics ie he is not the ruler of this world instead it is powerful people. Economics wise money lenders want to push God aside ie God has no business in how mankind run their economy and that means he has no ownership of what he has created. Religiously we are told by priests God is very stupid and a tyrant who gets angry at drop of a hat. If one has read Quranic translations and interpretations by mullahs, one will see how at each turn of the page God shoves everyone in hell despite the fact that the Quran begins with God being most kind and compassionate or merciful. As already explained priesthood has done a great damage to human society together with ruling elite and money lenders. God is taking all these opponents of his program, constitution and law head on and challenging them all the way to prove their claims against him. Not only that God proves all these people liars and deceivers spreading falsehood in the name of God He has also given mankind a great set of goals and equally great set of guidelines to live by and has guaranteed the promised outcome of a great life in here and hereafter. Not only that he challenges mankind that even if you do not follow my program you will be dragged by your own interactions and participations in your human populations to same end result so you will keep coming to same end little by little even if through bloody revolutions as told by God. All we need to see is human history which confirms so far God has been on the winning side. Not only that, he has proven his case for mankind for following his guidance. It is time politicians stopped attributing political falsehood to God in the name of politics and money lenders stopped attributing to God mechanism for human exploitation in the name of running economy and mullahs stopped attributing religious nonsense to God that makes no sense and wastes very valuable time of humanity. Time has come for people to start learning the Quran properly and living a life worthy of humanity. 63] Through this testimony of Allah it is made obvious for mankind that We surely sent messengers before you to other nations as well because their harmful and destructive political, economic and religious leadership made their harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours look good to them yet they opposed Our program, constitution and law as such leadership was still their role model as it is even today therefore such people are bound to end up in painful suffering unless they repent and reform. 64] We have not revealed this book to you but for the set purpose that you clearly explain to them everything over which they divide and go to wars so that they learn sense thereby and stop fighting and become united. This book is indeed a blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program for the people who will commit themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. 65] It is like the water that Allah sends down from the height whereby He gives life to the land after it has been dead likewise it brings about lively nations through inspiring revelation. Surely in this there is a lesson for those who observe things to draw sense for understanding of things properly. 66] Moreover there is a lesson for you the mankind to learn by observing the cattle. We give you to drink by means of processes that take place in their bodies between what they digest and the way it becomes blood and pure milk, pleasant for those who would drink it. In this verse a very important point is made by God and that point is, look, we have given you the mankind such capabilities by means of brains and senses that you are able to find out anything about anything if you so desire and work for it. In other words sky is the limit. This verse tells us, man is a very capable creature and one day it is going to surprise itself by way of his creativity and thereby his discoveries. God says he is very capable and by doing things one day he is going to prove God right beyond a shadow of doubt. Mankind is going to manage the universe for its own well being in time to come. History of mankind already provides ample evidences that what God has said about man in the Quran is very true indeed. By observing nature man has been able to copy nature and produce many things that show human potential in reality with which Allah has created man. 67] Likewise processes take place in the fruits of the date-palm and the grapes from which you make drinks and wholesome food, certainly therein is a lesson to be learned by way of observations for those who will use their brains for making proper sense of things. These verses are clear proof that Allah has stimulated mankind through his revelations. After all progress only comes from expansion of mind and thinking and all that comes from direct observations as well as learning from teachings. 68] The same is true in case of the bee communities that your Creator and Sustainer programmed the bees to build their hives in elevated places, in the trees and in anything which people build for them Word YARISHOON is from root AIN, RAA and SHEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is something that points something to something higher for focus of attention. Also trellis, roof, thatching, couch, throne, dais, structure, mechanism on top of a well for drawing water, a group of stars, to build some structure, to construct, turrets, spring, eye, head, chief, tooth, stake or peg driven into the ground, higher thought or ambition, something higher to dwell upon or rest upon, authority, power, footstool, to help or support something in some way etc etc. In these verses Allah points out for mankind things he has created so that by observing them about how they come to existence, how they work and what purpose they fulfil and how they do all this or how it all happens mankind could learn things for themselves and then be able to accomplish much, much bigger tasks. Through observing things man can learn how to organise and regulate his own human society so that it works like a clock or a machine that works properly to fulfil its purpose ie each and every human beings fulfils his part in human community fully and properly. These verses should leave none in doubt as to how the Quran educates mankind to be scientific in its thinking and actions. The way nature organises and regulates things for its purposes people too can learn from all this and can organise and regulate their human society to be a proper human community. Again it must be kept in mind that these verses have complementary meanings so they can be interpreted in various other ways as well in various contexts as already been explained in detail. The purpose of the Quran by describing these things is not only to explain these things only but to show that humanity can also be organised and regulated to do its work to fulfil its set tasks in a similar way. It is because words used in verses have alternative meanings as well. Taken in context of human beings word JIBAAL means influential people or leading people in a human population. Word SHAJR not only mean tree, code of conduct or schematic diagram but divided people who fight or dispute things with each other. Here Allah is telling mankind to be busy bodies like bees that work hard as an organised and regulated team to produce honey. If they fought with each other and wasted their time nothing could get done. Likewise people must also organise and regulate themselves as a proper human community for serving each other to secure their existence through surplus productivity so that they do not fall short of whatever they need and desire. 69) and interact freely with every kind of fruit by following the ways of your Creator and Sustainer. From the processes in its body comes forth a syrup of different colours that contains a healing property for mankind. Certainly in all this there is a lesson for those who will observe all this for learning things to think about how it all came to existence and works to fulfil its set purpose. Word SAMARAAT is from root SAA, MEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is fruit. Also outcome of an idea or action, result of a course of actions or program etc. Word SHARAAB is from root SHEEN, RAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is liquid that is drawn from something after squeezing something or working hard on it in order get it to drink it. Also water, juice, syrup, a piece of information, knowledge, gist, drink, glue, house, family, to bring together, to drink, to imbibe, to absorb, to inhale, to irrigate, to raise the head, to make one a chief or manager, to cause to assimilate, to learn knowledge, a drinking place, spring or source of water or knowledge, time of drinking, to have love or desire for something or someone etc etc. In a way this verse is telling Muslims to learn knowledge from various sources including visiting other human populations than their own like bees visit various flowers to get what they need to produce honey and by visiting other populations pick and choose worthwhile things which other populations offer that are beneficial for mankind and adopt them and in return offer them what they need to improve their populations to be better human beings. All this is necessary for humanity to do in order to become a proper human community as guided by Allah. As explained already people primarily learn from observing natural world and different people become advanced in different things and because people become more and more civilised as their field of learning knowledge expands so it is very important that people help each other move forward this way. Just as honey is good for certain illnesses medically so revelation can prove remedy for problems that face humanity. The Quran invites people to ponder over verses of the Quran and by thinking over what the verses of the Quran are about people can link things in the natural world the way they can help humanity become a proper human community. The world is so set-up by Allah that none living things help bring about living things and help them survive and likewise lower level of living things help higher level of living things come to existence and survive. This is how human beings have come to existence from the very same biological tree which brought about rest of living things and all things therefore originate from the very same source ie the creator and sustainer of the universe though systems and mechanisms he has put in place. The other point made here is the changes effected in the environment of the world ie as things interact in this world they create and change their own environment and that means if things will effect environment negatively then they will have to suffer the consequences for doing that therefore it is necessary that people in particular effect changes in the environment of their world that are better for mankind themselves as well as rest of living things upon which people depend for their survival. 70] Like the rest of the creation Allah also teaches you the mankind how to conduct yourselves so that thereby He fulfils you in form of actualising your full potentialities and that is how some of you are turned nation builders so that you do not act like ignorant fools after knowing things properly. That is how Allah makes known to you the mankind that He has set-up systems and mechanisms as well as processes and laws to govern all affairs in the universe properly. 71] That is why Allah made some of you more advantageous than others for producing and distributing things of need and want so that by working for well being of each other you the mankind become a proper human community, yet those who have been bestowed with advantages to produce and distribute things of need and want do not share things with those for whom they have been made responsible in case they become their equals in that respect. By so doing, are they not stifling unity, peace, progress and prosperity among the mankind for which Allah bestowed His blissful, dignifying and life securing program? In these verses Allah explains why he created so many different things and why he created people very different from each other having different capabilities to different degrees. It is so that more capable people work according to their abilities and help those who are not as capable as they are by working together as a proper human community. What we see in the world is that more capable people are using their those God given abilities to take undue advantages of those who lack those abilities and therefore cannot compete with them. These people not only do that but rub this in face of God by saying why God created things this way? An ignorance and arrogance based response. These people do not realise the fact that in this world none is born totally 100% advantageous and that is why one day one person is a baby and at the end of life one is an old man needing full help of others. Even during capable adult life people could fall victim to any kind of accident and illness at any time so there is no such thing as secure life for anyone forever in this world therefore all people need help of each other. It therefore makes better sense for people to bring about a kind of world wherein people have reasonable life so that they can live in it and not curse themselves day and night. Don’t forget this surah is all about a proper human community this is why the Quran is explaining things in that context therefore it is covering various aspects of it. In the Quran Allah explains why people need a proper human community according to his scheme of things due to his purpose of creation of things, how it can be brought about and how it can work etc etc. Now if after all these explanations people still do not create a proper human community for themselves then they deserve all that is going to happen to them in this world as well as in hereafter as a result of their ignoring the guidance of Allah for them. In light of this surah one can see why mullahs are most harmful and destructive people as well as rulers and money lenders. If we look into history of deen of Islam no prophet from Allah ever supported mullahs, rulers and money lenders, if anything they opposed them always and put to them an alternative way of life based upon community spirit. The best example is that of prophet Joseph who ended up in Egypt yet fought his way through to convince the ruler of the land to hand over his management of the land to him and let him run things as he sees fit if the ruler wants to see his people survive. He turned round the kingdom of Egypt from brink of destruction. Even today if any country wants to stand on its feet it must become a united community like a family that works together to solve its facing problems. So long as there is any form of negative discrimination within a people they can never progress and prosper as much as they should if they are united community. So the way of life the Quran proposes is guaranty of blissful, dignified and secure existence but only if people understood it properly and adopted it faithfully. The Quran wants people to give up idea of dominating each other by trying to undermine each other because this is harming and destroying them by hands of each other despite being the fact that all people are people and come from same original source and have been created to accomplish higher objectives unlike rest of animals and things. 72] That is the reason Allah raises supporters for you from your own kind and raises for you through your mates children and grandchildren whereby He provides you with provisions that are for your benefits to ensure your well being. Will they still continue working for rifts and wars between mankind on basis of their make beliefs thus keep the benefits in form of blissful provisions of Allah from reaching those having the rights from Allah to benefit from them Word HAFADAH is from root HAA, FAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is people who serve others. Also administration or management that is put in place by community to serve it, domestic servants, grandchildren, people who act fast to fulfil what is required of them, helpers, assistants, supporters, fast and hard working personnel, briskness, to care for, to aid, entourage, household, daughters, extended family, in-laws, family lineage, off-spring etc etc. As already explained, words used in the Quran need special attention. Word AZWAAJ does not necessary mean wives but companions or fellow workers or parties or populations or communities etc. Likewise word BANEEN does not necessarily mean biological sons but sons and daughters, capable sons and daughters of a nation, foundational principles or values or ideological supporters etc. Here Allah explains that people are supposed to help each other and move forward instead of trying to think they are better than each other and deserve to be masters of each other therefore try to undermine each other in order to enslave each other. The end result of this kind of thinking can only be a never ending war between mankind for dominance over each other so if people want to live for personal gains at the expense of each other then they can do so but it has a price for humanity if it wants to pay. However if they want a blissful, dignified and secure existence then deen of Islam is the only way for mankind to live by. So people should find out what exactly deen of Islam is and adopt it as it ought to be adopted. The sooner the better. 73] by keep taking for rulers other than Allah and keep serving them even though they have no power to provide them with anything for sustenance from the heavens or the earth nor can they ever have any power to do so? Here the Quran is challenging mankind as regard their make beliefs that if as you assume that such and such has the power to provide you with sustenance then why not check it out. The question is how to check it out whether someone is capable of providing sustenance or not? Simply through figuring things out by way of reasoning. People who claim to be Gods in this world or rulers over people do they have anything to prove their claims by eg guidance etc that can free people from disputes and wars between themselves? All people who claim to be rulers over people are based on falsehood, thinking in their minds they have right to rule over people. All their claims are backed by mullahs at most and nothing more. No scripture in the world gives any authority to anyone to rule over mankind. All scriptures teach brotherhood of humanity. How can masters and slaves be a brotherhood? How can people buy and sell people to each other and claim to be a brotherhood of humanity? How can people buy and sell things to each other for profit if they are supposed to ensure well being of each other because buying and selling things to each other is mechanism for exploitation for those who have the advantageous position in this set-up? So all tricks and mechanisms that are set-up by people for dealing with each other whereby some take undue advantage of other are against deen of Islam because they lead to harm and destruction of some people by hands of the other. This is why all rulers, money lenders, mullahs their touts and supporters live on basis of clear falsehood. Whatever they believe is therefore just their self invented way of life hence they are followers of make beliefs and they follow all that in order to take undue advantage of the disadvantaged ie the weak and the poor etc. God has provided things for all without any discrimination regardless people accept living by his advised way of life or not. Rulers, money lenders and mullahs only look after those who give them some personal advantage over the rest. This is the main reason the world is polarised by rulers, money lenders and mullahs who work together to make sure this way of life continues. They are not part of brotherhood of humanity but a party of shayateen, which is out to get anyone it can. 74] Therefore set-up not the ways of life in opposition to way of life advised by Allah. Allah makes all this obvious for you the mankind because otherwise you could not know the proper way of life therefore could not attain unity, peace, progress and prosperity. These verses should leave one in no doubt what the actual message of the Quran is and why it is of vital importance for mankind to become aware of it ie it is because unity, peace, progress and development of mankind ultimately depends on it. For survival mankind only and only depend on their brains and senses and their proper use for this purpose but survival in itself is not the purpose of existence of mankind that is why each human being must rise to a level of awareness where at one asks, what is the point in all this carry on? That question then cannot be answered unless people come to a proper understanding of the message of Allah as to what this set-up is all about. In this very Surah we can see how Allah explains each and every nut and bolt of whole of this machine called the universe and the purpose behind its creation. This is why Islam is the future way of life for mankind no matter what people think and do against it, the set-up systems and laws in the universe will keep turning all their harmful and destructive plans on their head and force them to move towards Islam without even becoming aware of it that they are actually moving bit by bit towards deen of Islam. Allah has created mankind interdependent so they cannot avoid interaction no matter what and it is better that they take care of each other than harm and destroy each other through their stupid plots against each other. Allah has placed responsibility for mankind upon mankind themselves and not without giving them abilities to do things and the needed guidance as a proper human community. So mankind must learn it and do as advised, so that they are successful from the very beginning to the very end. 75] Allah gives you an example of two people each in a different situation, one person who is fully limited by Allah in his capabilities so he is not capable of doing anything good at all for himself or others and the other person whom Allah has made fully capable of doing beautiful things for himself and others so he spends his energy and capabilities properly for the well being of himself and others day and night, in private and in public, so are both of them equal? Therefore remember always! The sovereignty over all things belongs to Allah alone so all must do as He says yet most of the people learn not to understand and do things properly. In this verse Allah is explaining mechanism of interdependence and how one person is responsible for another and how one person has right against the other. Man is fully dependent on Allah for all provisions because he has no ability to bring things into existence to make use of them so if things are provided to mankind by Allah then the use of things must also be according to guidance of Allah because mankind has no right to do as it pleases with things that have been provided by God. So people who fulfil needs of each other as explained by Allah are considered people with dignity and honour because it is such people who take human community forward into the future with hope for the better. This verse also explains the point that each man should be considered a free person to begin with because none has the right to be master of another just because one person helps another. It is because if one person is helping another one way the other may be helping him back in another way eg if one person gives another food then the other may be able to give him drink. Not each and every person is totally dependent on another in every respect eg biologically, psychologically and sociologically. It is because there is always return in one form or another. One person may be fulfilling a mental need of the other the while other person may be fulfilling his physical need. Nothing is created useless by God but whether people have educated themselves to a level needed to realise this is another matter. Even if one does not accept existence of God yet no man came to this world and did all he did all by himself alone. Nature and mankind have contributed the whole lot for helping him to be what one is. This person therefore has the responsibility to give back to human community what he has earned because of it so that human community could raise more and more people who prove useful members of a proper human community. If people who gain from human community will not contribute to their human society then future will not be any good for the future generations already there or are yet to come. So community responsibilities and rights cannot be pushed aside no matter what or results will be more and more terrible for mankind as each generation deteriorates and depreciates instead of appreciation. The Quran has the humanity in its full control if we could be wise enough to see the points the Quran raises. This verse tells us it is up to Allah to create people with or without certain capabilities for shorter or longer term or even permanently etc etc. It is the way Allah has set-up things to work by way of complementing each other. More capable people are created to help less capable people. This is why a baby is created less capable and the same baby becomes more and more capable as he grows but after becoming an old man the very same baby become yet again less capable of looking after himself needing help of others. It is an inescapable situation for mankind to be in. Therefore promoting any way of life based upon personal gains at the expense each other is only and only harmful and destructive for human beings so people must come out of their stupidity who are users and abusers of human beings for their personal gains. No wonder such people are enemies of humanity and troublemakers. 76] Allah gives you another example of two people, one of them acts as dumb despite being fully capable so he does not develop his abilities to do anything good for himself and others so he is a burden on his supporter. Is he then equal to him who acts properly due to developing his capabilities properly due to which he is on the path of life that is firmly founded that leads to unity peace, progress and prosperity of mankind? Here in these verses two types of people are mentioned a)born with limited capabilities and b)born with full capabilities then we have people who are born with full capabilities yet some develop their capabilities while others are not bothered. The one’s born with limited capabilities or become limited at any stage of their life are not thought of as problems but those who do not use their capabilities to become skilled and get on with doing things that help humanity advance are condemned for their such uncaring mindset, attitude and behaviour. It is not only those people who wish to dominate others are a problem for humanity but so are those who act as lazy and crazy despite being capable of doing good for themselves and others. It is this very reason the idea of wrong kind of incentives is used by exploiters of humanity to justify their mindset, attitude and behaviour. Just as lazy and crazy people do not put effort into anything in case someone else benefits due to their work so people who do things to dominate others rather keep what they earn through their hard work instead of helping others in need. This is how world became polarised between people with various mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. The result of all this was and is use and abuse of humanity in various ways by various factions that leads to a lot of painful suffering of a lot of people in the world. Just as people seeking dominance over others take advantage of humanity so do those who act lazy. Both have no sense how to be proper human beings and humanity is not doing much either to bring them back into fold of humanity by educating them out of their harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. 77] This is how Allah makes obvious what is to happen in the future in the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and how. If people refuse to live by rule of Allah then the occurrence of the moment of uprising will be automatic like the twinkling of an eye and the mechanism related to it because Allah has set-up systems and mechanism and processes and laws to govern all affairs relating all things. 78] That is the system and mechanism, process and law whereby Allah brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers knowing nothing but He gave you sense of hearing and sense of sight as well as whole mechanism with brain for learning intelligence so that you people develop into proper human beings by using all these provided things properly. These verses slap hard on face of political, economic and religious leadership that tricks humanity through harmful and destructive systems and mechanisms and processes and laws etc whereby occurs huge mismanagement of manpower and resources which in turn pushes billions of people into wasteful life through needless poverty and bloodshed. Had these people derived their foundation from the Quran none of these things could have happened. There is still time for mankind to take the Quran seriously and not as a religious nonsense. Had mullah learned and preached the Quranic message properly one could see where humanity could have been today. With all people working as hard as they did on useless religious rituals or harmful secularism and destructive democracy and baseless imperialism the world would have been a very different place by now. It is time that humanity learns from its mistakes and takes the Quran as basis and then see if it is better than religious nonsense or not and then see how pluralism leads to unity and prosperity as proper message of the Quran takes over hearts and minds of people. God is not against material successes of mankind in fact that is exactly what God wants for mankind because without material world they cannot even exist let alone develop and progress but it has to be free of undue exploitation and manipulation of some people by others using dirty political tricks and mechanisms, dirty economic tricks and mechanisms and dirty religious tricks and mechanisms. 79] Do the mankind not observe the birds to learn lessons how they make use of the atmospheric layer of the earth to fly high in the sky, who holds them up in the air during flight other than Allah through His set-up systems and mechanisms according to His laws? Surely therein are evidences for people who observe things to learn lessons to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. Word JAVV is from root JEEM, WOW and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is sphere in which something interacts. Also atmospheric layer of the earth, environment, state of existence or interaction of something in a place or space as its environment, the arch of the sky, air, the space between the earth and what appears to be the sky, large expanse of open land, mid-air, in the air, camel, beauty, hook, something upon which something relies or hangs, something that can carry weight of something in some way, something that provides means for doing something, a zone of existence or interaction of something etc etc. Here the Quran draws our attention to soaring birds eg hawks and eagles etc to tell mankind they too can reach heights of excellence if they too follow its program for its set goals according to guidelines of Allah faithfully. The Quran inspires any people lying in the dust to become soaring birds that rise sky high. It is because proper environment is needed for things to exist and work in it properly. The guidance in the Quran provides people with a map to follow in order to build such an environment wherein humanity can exist and flourish properly and therefore it can reach its full potential with which Allah has created it. In short it is people themselves to blame for all their ills which hold them back from being what they were supposed to be as per plan of and purpose of Allah according to the Quran. 80] Likewise Allah has made your blissful, dignified and secure existence dependent upon your setting-up of proper institutions and hard work according to His guidance so that thereby He brings forth for you bundles of useful things for covering all your needs and wants by means of that mechanism so that they make period of your life journey easier for you so long as you stay firmly on that course and that is how through those clear ideas and through those mechanisms that are natural ways and means He provides you with things that can make your life journey smooth for you for a period of time. Word JULOOD is from root JEEM, LAAM and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is hide. Also skin, cover, camel, door, volume, whip, capable, skin bag, bundle, courage, ox-goad, toughness, flog, beauty, leather, hard rocky land, ice, to cover, to hide, to be able to do something, to have the ability to do something, to strike, to whip or lash or flog, to duel, to take heart, to be tough, to be close, to confide, to know someone really well, to be a close friend, to have capacity for something, to have stomach for something, to have room for something, to be hungry for something, to have need or desire or ambition for something, a covering in which something is wrapped up etc etc. Word ZA-NI is from root ZWAA, AIN and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is howdej. Also camel litters in which women travel on camel, litters in which women are carried by men to their destinations as a means of travel, something that helps travelling or making a journey, to leave or depart, to migrate, to move around in search of food or drink or things of need, women travelling in the company of men, making a journey, travelling with all belongings and all members of household, to travel in search of better life, eye, guardianship, standing guard over, watchman, security guard, something that makes travelling smooth or trouble-free, fish, something suspicious, something deceptive etc etc. Word AUBAAR is from root WOW, BAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is rope made from animal hair. Also hair of camels or goats or foxes or rabbits etc, Bedouin, to obliterate one’s tracks, to pollinate palm trees, tent dwellers, gypsies, house, family, tent, household, head, chief, manager, management, hook, something upon which something can rely for some reason, mechanism, rope made of camel hair, clothes made of animal hair or woollens, something that connects or holds things together etc etc. Word ASAASAA is from root ALIF, SAA and SAA. Concrete meaning of this root is abundance of things of need and want. Also necessities of life, great wealth, something highly valuable or useful, to be thick and strong, intertwined, to be fleshy, furnishings, property, belongings, wealth in abundance, staff, authority, power, strength, pole, a tree with plenty of branches that are thick and strong, a strong community with plenty of people etc etc. 81] That is the way Allah made your safe and secure existence dependent upon that set-up based upon proper code of conduct and that is why He made you dependent upon firmly established people among you to act as barrier for your safety and security and He also made your safe and secure existence dependent upon protective measures to guard you against all kinds of dangers including protective measures to guard you against mutual violence. All this because He wants to bestow upon you all sorts of useful things in abundance so that you could become of those who commit to living a blissful, dignified and secure life. Word AKNAANAA is from root KAAF, NOON and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is shelter. Also ink pot, fish, record, writing, scripture, to conceal, to protect or to preserve, to value, quiver, daughter in law, to shelter, hide-out, nest, to abate, awning, a hidden dwelling, to hide, places for refuge, coverings, encasings, closely kept, something treasured or valued or well guarded, something highly valued, something considered very useful, something within one’s grasp or power or reach, palm of hand, a moving or waving hand, some place wherein something could be kept hidden or safe and secure etc etc. Word SARAABEEL is from root SEEN, RAA, BAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is protective armour or clothing worn on body of a person or animal. Also clothes worn to protect oneself from heat or cold or any danger, wrapping, garment, a coat of mail, to crumble, attire of any kind, garb of authority, a dress that is sign or symbol of authority, something that is firmly in its place, head, chief, management, manager, house, tent, household, family, mechanism, ox-goad, driving or inspiring force, something that motivates or inspires into action, something that acts as a glue between things to keep them together or bonded to each other etc etc. In these verses of the Quran, Allah leaves people in no doubt that he has created everything and sent revelation for ensuring safety and security of mankind because he has created man with a special purpose in mind and that is awareness of mankind about their creator and sustainer. Since to become aware of anything man must exist and survive therefore his existence and survival as well as self awareness and awareness of rest of things and the universe are fundamental and that is why safety and security of humanity becomes the primary concern without which nothing matters. This is why awareness of creator and sustainer is of secondary concern till man has found himself and his place in this universe to become aware of that reality. Only then the higher goal matters or can become alive for a person. In order for man to exist and survive a set-up is needed and that is the reason Allah revealed his messages that are today in form of the Quran. This is why deen of Islam is first and foremost a social, political and economic ideology with systems, structures, procedures and practices to ensure mankind are a proper human community. Since a person is not always in the same state of existence hence the need for the manager and the managed mechanism or supporter and the dependent relationship among people so that each and every person is looked after properly by the proper human community according to guidance of Allah. This surah slaps rulers, money lenders, mullahs and their touts and supporters very hard indeed. Here we can see the way the Quran wants people to organise and regulate themselves as a proper human community. It is very different from the authoritarian concepts wherein a few people try to rule all others in the name of religion or country or business for profit etc. Deen of Islam is not about any of this instead it is basically about humanity as a proper human community that is properly self organised and self regulated. It is not the rule of people by the people for the people at all because ruling is still some people ruling the others not some people organising and regulating people to serve each other as told by their creator and sustainer. Once humanity does well due to setting up and running their world according to guidance of Allah with full help of each other this will show their appreciation of rule of law of Allah by mankind in form of their words and deeds that will produce good end results for mankind. 82] However if they still decide to turn away from this program for accomplishing Our set goals for them according to Our provided guidelines then there is no blame upon you because your duty is only to convey Our message to mankind clearly. Whenever the Quran uses word KA the second person pronoun in singular form, it does not necessarily mean the final messenger of Allah only but any missionary after him who takes his mission to others. 83] They should learn proper use of provisions of Allah by learning and implementing His program but instead they prevent this from happening because most of them reject and oppose Our guidance for them for deliberately misusing and abusing Our blissful provisions that are provided for their well being as a proper human community. 84] Nonetheless in due course We will raise landslide support from every nation for Our program, constitution and law because by then the opponents of Our guidance in form of rulers, money lenders and priests along with their touts and supporters will not be able to put forth any proper justifications for what they think, say and do nor will they be able to receive any personal favours in private from each other as they are used to doing under current environment. 85] That is how at the time of uprising the users and abusers of humanity will face the retribution at the hands of their victims, it will not be easy for them to go through with it nor will they be granted any escape route to hide to remain safe. 86] Moreover at the time they themselves will speak up against them those who at present take them for rulers other than Allah saying to Our missionaries, O custodians of rule of law of our Creator and Sustainer! Here are the rulers we took for ourselves by whose rule of law we used to live our lives instead of way of life advised by Allah. At this their self imposed rulers will toss their statement back at them saying, you are liars! 87] This is how they themselves will admit to custodians of rule of law of Allah that day because their self imposed rulers will have led them into utter chaos and confusion without any way to escape. 88] That is why We will let them suffer the consequences of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions in form of painful suffering upon painful suffering who oppose and debar each other from the way of life advised by Allah till they give-up their way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other or perish by hands of each other because they cause rifts and divisions thereby hatred and wars between mankind. 89] That is how in due course We will raise landslide support for Our program, constitution and law – against the harmful and destructive way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other invented, adopted and promoted by rulers, money lenders and priests ¬– from their own very people everywhere and that is the way We will raise you the human masses against your own harmful and destructive leadership because that is the reason We have sent for all of you the mankind the Quran to explain everything necessary in all necessary detail as a guidance towards blissful, dignified and secure existence therefore as a good news for those who will commit to this program that leads to unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. 90] Allah surely commands that people work hard to fulfil needs of each other to ensure well being of each other in order to make life beautiful for each other as a proper human community by shunning and stopping any such interaction and participation by anyone in the proper human community that can result in its harm and destruction including revolt and rebellion. He advises you the mankind so that you adhere to His advice for ensuring your own well being as a proper human community. As explained already word ADL means sharing the load among the group in such a way that each person only carries what one is naturally capable of carrying. In the Quranic context justice does not mean equality because Allah has created people unequal. A child must carry what he can and a grown up adult as much as he can. Equality means each person carrying exactly the same weight regardless one is weak or strong. This is not the concept of justice in the Quranic context. Such justice gives undue advantage to some at the expense of others. Moreover letter AIN in word ADL is about keeping an eye on things and letter DAAL is about keeping the door shut for problems but open for solutions of the problems and letter LAAM is about motivation or driving force that keeps things on track so that problems do not arise to begin with and even if any arise they are solved quickly. This is why only those people can put themselves forward out of sense of duty to community for serving the community as its administrators who think they have what it takes for doing the job properly. Likewise word FAHSH does not mean sexual misbehaviour in the Quranic context but any word or deed that brings any harm or destruction upon any innocent person in the proper human community which brings sadness upon the community as a whole. Each community spirited person becomes sad when they see anything harmful happening to any innocent person in the community. All because the proper human community is like a single person that feels pain when one is hurt anywhere in the body. Mullahs need a good hiding for deliberately misinterpreting and misrepresenting the message of the Quran throughout the world. One day they will get what they really need from masses when they become educated enough to see their stupidity themselves. 91] Therefore fulfil towards each other constitutional and legal obligations as set for you by Allah as you have agreed to abide by them and breach not agreements regarding each other about things agreed upon after you have agreed to uphold them because you have placed your trust in and have relied upon revealed program for accomplishing stated goals according to provided guidelines of Allah and Allah makes results of all that you think and do evident for all to see. 92] Do not be like a crowd of people that talks people into forming a strong network of community but then lets it disintegrate itself into fragments through make beliefs thereby leads to negligence of obligations towards each other. Therefore take not your mutual agreements as means for deceiving each other so that one party may take undue advantage of the other because Allah bids you to put full effort into fulfilling your obligations and responsibilities to each other fully. Otherwise through day of uprising He will certainly make obvious the results of your own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions in form actual harms and destructions. In these verses the Quran is emphasising the importance of proper understanding of the message of Allah and its proper implementation by mankind for the reason that people could have a blissful, dignified and secure existence. No reason can better this argument. Then failing that consequences are made very clear. Not only that we are also told that time will come when people will have done themselves enough damage that they will become fully trapped and the only way out will be way of life advised by Allah if that happened. However, it is better that mankind learn sense and do not end up in that situation and instead learn to live properly and save themselves all sorts of troubles and hardships. It is because primarily Allah wants people to get involved in educating each other and thereby bring positive changes in the world that way but failure in doing that is bound to lead human to bloody revolutions and a lot of painful suffering for mankind. So choice rests with people themselves as to which way they choose to go. 93] Had it served plan of Allah He could have gathered all of you into one nation but He lets stray whoever so chooses and He guides whoever makes effort to attain guidance. However you will certainly be made to face the results of all that you think and do. Here Allah is making clear that no doubt Allah could have created mankind as a single community by his will but it could not serve his purpose for creation and that is why he created people with ability to act as they choose. Now time will come when people will become one by choice and that is why people are given brains and senses to learn and do things as they se fit along with guidance of Allah. Therefore people are bound to reach their destination in due course as planned by Allah. 94] So never enter agreements to deceive each other so that you do not end up back into chaos and confusion after being firmly fixed on the foundation of Our guidance and taste the harm and destruction as a result of your own thoughts and actions for not doing what ensures well being of mankind and barring others from guidance of Allah thereby ending up in hell of your own making. 95] Do not exchange way of life advised by Allah that ensures well being of mankind for your self-created way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. Certainly the results of your united thoughts and actions based upon guidance of Allah will be much more beneficial for you as a proper human community than your thoughts and actions based upon your personal gains at the expense of each other but only if you could learn and understand all this properly and act upon it faithfully. 96] Whatever is your personal gain for yourself as an individual at the expense of proper human community will be lost but whatever you gain according to guidance of Allah for the well being of proper human community will last. We will certainly reward those who are hard working and courageous according to the noblest of their deeds which make world beautiful as per Our guidance. 97] Whoever acts to remove rifts and divisions from among mankind whether leadership or masses, managers or managed people, powerful or weak, male or female provided the party is doing it out of commitment to unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind We will surely grant such a people a new life, a life that is free of rivalries and animosities and hatred and wars and that is how We will reward such people according to the best of their deeds that make the world a beautiful place for mankind. Word TAIYIBAH is from roots TWAA, WOW and BAA and TWAA, YAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a mark or sign of complete power. Also hand, authority, landmark, symbol, monument, milestone, tent, house, family, community, something that acts as symbol or foundation for unity, to be good, to be agreeable, to be willing, to mollify, to be wholesome, to become ripe, to regain health, to be fragrant, fragrance, perfume, something proper or complete, to be desirable, to be pious, blissful, paradise, happiness, joy, goodness, beneficial, something that ensures well being of something, chaste, clean, fair, favourable, pleasant, something from which mankind could benefit as food for thought or food for eating to survive and grow or both, productive community or land or both etc etc. 98] Therefore whenever you read the Quran read it for seeking the life of peace and security for mankind through guidance of Allah in order to ensure protection for the masses against the conspiracies of the harmful and destructive leadership that tries to take away people from the way of life advised by Allah. Word ISTAIZ is from root AIN, WOW and ZAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that sticks with something for safety and security eg chicks stick with their mother hen as their refuge for their safety and security. Also to stay within a security zone in some sense for self preservation particularly in case or in time of danger, refuge, shelter, protection, guard, eye, hook, something that can be relied upon, something upon which something can be hanged, something that can provide foundation for something in some sense, to keep an eye, to attach, to become related to something, to link to something, a place for hiding, something that acts as a covering or shelter or shield for something etc etc. 99] Surely the harmful and destructive leadership has no power over those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind because they rely upon set-up systems and laws of their Creator and Sustainer and not on make beliefs. Word SULTAAN is from root SEEN, LAAM and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is source for law. Also authority, power, mark of power, the source that provides foundation for rule of law, mastery, custom, tradition, constitution, over powering, strength, overwhelming, something that has reach to something, rage, anger, control, mandate, permission, authorisation, convincing explanation, argument, proof, evidence, testimony, state, kingdom, country, jurisdiction, clue, something that burns bright and enlightens its surrounding as well, to rule, to be a sovereign authority, to be a ruler, to have mastery over, to be skilful, to be master over something in some sense, to be master of something in some sense, to prevail, to predominate, to be hard, to set someone upon someone else, to have status etc etc. 100] The harmful and destructive leadership can influence only those who due to remaining ignorant about way of life advised by Allah accept it willingly and turn to its make belief way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and that is how they end up living by rule of law of others than Allah. 101] However when We advise and invite a people to replace their harmful and destructive personal gains based way of life at the expense of each other with Our revealed way of life because Allah makes known to mankind what He has revealed, the leadership and following who reject and oppose Our advised way of life say to you the followers of the Quran, you people surely make up things by yourselves, whereas the fact is most of them do not even bother to learn things properly to come to know the difference between the two ways of life. Why people accuse the messenger of Allah and his supporters for making up things by themselves? It is not because he made changes in the verses of the Quran and started to make excuses for doing this but because he is inviting them to the revealed way of life by Allah by telling them your invented way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other is detrimental for mankind therefore it is wrong and they in reaction accuse him for making up things to keep the truth hidden from their masses by confusing them. Here Allah is talking about two ways of life ie natural way of life based upon principle of evolution and revealed way of life and he is telling mankind he knows when one is to be replaced with the other ie while mankind remain unaware about themselves as well as realities of real world, the revelation of Allah is useless for them but as mankind become self aware and aware of real world realities and see the need for guidance of Allah that is the time when he helps them change their way of life with the revealed way of life from the natural way of life. That is the way Allah has designed and planned this universe and human existence in it according to his purpose or objective. 102] Say, this revealed way of life which is consistent with its purpose has been sent for mankind for purpose of freeing humanity from harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other by your Creator and Sustainer to give solid foundation to those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind as a guidance so it is a news to be happy about for those who wish to commit themselves to working for a blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind. 103] We should also make obvious for mankind what the rejecters and opponents of this revealed way of life say about Our guidance that it is a teaching by an ordinary human being. However the ordinary human being they attribute this teaching to can never put together words in such a uniquely structured and uniquely distinct way because this message is in a language uniquely structured and uniquely distinct demonstrably beyond human creation. Word AJAMEE is from root AIN, JEEM and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is something unclear and unstable. Also ambiguous, doubtful, suspicious, confusing, chaotic, eye, spring, support, guard, camel, beauty, rope, water, dumb, ignorant, illiterate, uncultivated, uneducated, pure, clean, spotless, a person who cannot express himself clearly or effectively, non-Arab, undetermined, undecided, to keep under suspense, to keep in lurch, fruit stones, seed, solid, to test by biting on, beast of burden, one who cannot speak Arabic, obscurity, foreign, silence, dumb founded, hidden etc etc. Word ARABEE is from root AIN, RAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something clear and stable. Also unambiguous, doubtless, distinct, solid, eye, spring, source of water, assistance, support, guardian, caretaker, head, chief, manager, tent, house, family, an Arab, Arabic language, to speak out, to express one’s thoughts clearly, to be eloquent, to be affectionate, to correct someone, a piece of land named Arabia, desert Arabs, Bedouin, nomads, loving, punctuations, people living in tents, diacritical or vowel marks on words to help pronunciation of words for non-Arabs, illiterate, uncultured, uneducated, uncivilised etc etc. In these verses there is an argument going on between those who live on basis of their own make beliefs therefore they end up inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other and those who follow guidance of Allah therefore they live for each other as a proper human community, each accusing the other of lying. The argument is ended by Allah telling people forget arguing with each other endlessly look at the message and see if it could come from a human being. If a human being can produce a message like this then accusation of opponent’s is proven true and if they fail to prove their accusation then claim of messenger of Allah and his supporters is proven true. The other point made here is contrast between words ARABEE and AJAMEE. The idea here is to explain the difference between modern languages and the root based prototype languages. This is of fundamental importance for understanding the message of Allah because Allah could never express himself for understanding of mankind in languages that became more precise as already explained in detail. It is because precision language requires more number of words for expressing the very same number of ideas whereas root based language does not have that problem because in a root based language one can express more ideas in less number of words. Not only that but roots also keep their concepts and meanings forever as explained already in detail as to how they do so. Allah had to use a language that could survive and remain clearly understandable for mankind for all times to come particularly if the message for mankind had to be stopped for good. This is why Arabic was chosen by Allah because it fulfilled all requirements for handling final revelation of Allah. Since reasons have been explained already here and there therefore there is little point in going into detail of things again. However it was necessary to raise the point here also in case the reader did not realise it. As for the end of revelation, it may well be that mankind themselves may develop to a stage whereat they become aware of their creator and sustainer on basis of potential of their own creativity which Allah has placed in mankind. It is possible that mankind will meet their maker face to face one day and this final revelation is able to raise humanity to that stage of existence. I think later scholars will come to know the message of the Quran much better than us as we know it today because there is still a lot more to discover than we understand from the Quran through our study of the real world realities today. It is precisely because the Quran uses the root based language that it tells us many things about future in much, much greater detail but for knowing those things we must get to know more and more about things the Quran talks about. For example, the Quran talks about far away galaxies and stars in great detail but since we have not yet reached even our own galaxy called Milky Way we cannot know what the Quran is talking about till we reach there. The Quran tells us we will be shown signs throughout the universe as well as within ourselves that will prove to us beyond any shadow of doubt that the Quran is word of Allah generation after generation. In fact it is a very hard slap on the faces of foolish mullahs who take the Quran as a book of make beliefs and useless rituals. Thanks to stupidity of mullahs ummah has little idea what is going on out there in the universe. People have adopted fatalism instead of hard work according to guidance of the Quran for the well being of mankind. 104] Yet after having all this information those who still fail to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of human population according to guidelines of Allah, He does not enforce His program, constitution and law upon them so they are left to their own choices and devices to end up in painful suffering and self destruction by hands of each other. 105] The fact is, those who do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to program, goals and guidelines of Allah it is they who invent harmful and destructive ideologies, systems, structures, procedures and practices in order to deny each other Our clearly set and laid out rights for them to Our provisions. The whole reason powerful people deny message of Allah is to have the right to use and abuse weaker people for their own very personal ends. 106] However any party that works against goals and guidelines of Allah after declaring its commitment to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind unless it is forced the while its mind remains committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind will have led itself away from blissful, dignified and secure existence providing guidance of Allah into life of painful suffering by hands of each other particularly if it opposes guidance of Allah whole heartedly. 107] This is only because such people love quick personal gains at the expense of each other as well as at the expense of long term benefits for the human community therefore Allah guides not such people as work against His mission by using the provided things inappropriately. 108] These are the ones whose faculties of thinking and understanding things properly and whose abilities of heeding disciplines faithfully and whose capabilities of being able to observe things precisely for what they really are Allah finds untapped yet they themselves are neglectful of the consequences for their such mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. 109] There is no doubt that if they continued neglecting their development and use of their abilities the same way in future as well then in due course they will end up in an irreversible loss. 110] It is because set-up systems and laws of your Creator and Sustainer only supports survival of those people who are constantly on the move mentally or ideologically and physically or actually through hard work that is why they struggle through life steadfastly and that is how your Creator and Sustainer thereby leads them to secure existence by means of His blissful and dignifying program for them. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind that there are only two ways of life whereby mankind can exist ie natural evolution on basis of survival of the fittest and education based revolution that leads to revelation based way of life as a proper human community. Living by natural way of life mankind will continue living the way they have been putting each other through hell but if they adopt revelation based way of life then they can save themselves from all unnecessary troubles and hardships. 111] However time is coming when every person will only demand what one needs for oneself and everyone will be given the task whatever one can do and none of the people will be put through hardship of forced labour in vain. In these verses Allah is clearly explaining that while people learn to develop their abilities and faculties laws of nature will remain effective and once man has developed sufficiently that he can influence nature from then on man will start looking at end results of his actions and keep correcting himself on that basis and no longer will go for personal gains at the expense of proper human community. This is how the Quran will be constantly proven true ie mankind will keep adopting more and more things the Quran states in it. This will carry on happening till people enter Islam=blissful, dignified and secure life fully and then they will start observing and working on goal of management of the universe for their own benefit full speed ahead. Since all people will focus on same goal without any fights and wars among themselves that is how further progress will speed up from then onwards. 112] Allah points out to you as an example a kingdom that was brought about by a people according to His guidance which enjoyed unity, peace and progress therefore received its provisions in abundance from everywhere in every way yet in due course its people ended up neglecting its maintenance according to blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program of Allah and instead adopted personal gains based way of life at the expense of each other therefore set-up systems and laws of Allah made its residents taste the consequences of their own ideology and course of actions and that is how in due course they ended up in terrible poverty therefore insecurity. 113] A messenger was once again sent to them from among themselves to ask them to reconsider their way of life but they called him a liar so in due course they were found caught up in a terrible painful suffering that destroyed them because they inflicted harms and destructions upon each other. 114] Therefore remember this as a lesson always and have and use things that Allah has provided you with properly for ensuring well being of mankind, that is how by proper use of blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program of Allah and His provisions you the people should show each other and other human populations that you have become a people who ensure well being of each other if you truly claim to have committed to abiding by His program, constitution and law. 115] ) He has strictly forbidden for you the followers of the Quran becoming a dead nation by getting involved in things like bloodshed and mutual destruction for ill-gotten gains on basis of pig-philosophy, using each other abusively for personal gains out of selfishness and greed and all that is done outside the program, constitution and law of Allah. In case one is dragged into such a chaotic situation or circumstance whereby one is forced to get involved in such things but commits to getting out of this situation and means no harm to others or rebellion against Our rule, upon such people there is no blame because Allah is surely protector of mankind through His blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program. 116] So you should never declare with your tongues falsely that to have or to do this is lawful and to have or to do that is unlawful in order to attribute things to Allah falsely because those who attribute falsehood to Allah will never prosper. This is very clear warning for all leaders and supporters that they must never attribute anything to Allah in wrong context or senselessly. All must first understand things properly and then let others know what is proper and why. This warning is repeated in the Quran because rulers, money lenders, mullahs and their touts and supporters always attribute falsehood to Allah having no sense whatsoever. It is due to that there are divisions among mankind because these leaders and followers look forward to personal gains at the expense of each other therefore at the expense of a proper human community. If all people worked together as a united family and planned everything and carried out the plan together nicely then there will not be any need to fight over anything at all. Interest, usury, profit based trade or businesses are only forbidden because in making profit people cheat each other for their individual personal gains having no regard for each other as a community. Mullahs make fool of people by telling them a lot of rubbish in the name of God and so do politicians and money lenders. ZAKAAH is not a charity as mullahs will have us believe but an economic system based on principle of all individuals working as hard as they can according to their full natural capacity to produce things and distributing them according to needs of individuals. The Quran clearly states that each person must keep according to his needs and rest of it he should hand over to community administration for passing it on to others as much as they need and any surplus is to be kept and used as the need may arise from time to time and future planning. Charity concept has been brought in by rulers, money lenders through their mullahs to give them a way to hoard things for themselves for profiteering by paying a very, very small part of it as tax. This is how mullahs prove to us by their own thoughts and actions that they are working for rulers and money lenders, not God. This is why masses need to get out of slavery of mullahs because it is they who are suffering because of these traps which mullahs have set-up for them in the name of God. This is why mullahs need to be dealt with by masses exactly as they deserve it. Mullahs are the main reason why ummah is living in a hell hole today and it has been for a very long time now. Whatever little was there in the beginning it was only because of the kingdom that was set-up by the final messenger of Allah with help of his supporters at the time. After him things declined and have reached to the level we see them today. These verses clearly explain to mankind how messengers of Allah in the past have been establishing exemplary kingdoms based upon guidance of Allah and how they collapsed after them due to negligence of their later generations in their maintenance. So if mankind want to set-up those like kingdoms once again today then they need to follow the same pattern as they did ie get to know the real world realities and revelation of Allah properly and teach all this to each other and get support of each other to work together as a proper human community and you are there. This surah as one can see is all about bringing about a proper human community and institutions so that a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah could be brought about for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind. 117] Short lived will be their joy because in time to come they will end up in painful suffering and become destroyed by hands of each other. Lying about message of Allah has its serious consequences and the Quran makes that very clear indeed. It is easy for foolish people who have no wider and deeper thoughts for future of mankind to dismiss idea of God and his guidance but it does not take long before reality starts biting. How can people claim to be cultivated and civilised today when billions of people are living a life of worst than animals? A proof in itself that mankind have yet to learn a lot. They are not where they ought to be so far and they never will be so long as they continue on the same path of life they are on. Things must be changed if we want people to live their lives as they should as human beings. This is why we must remove all personal gains based rights at the expense of each other that hinder progress of humanity in a big way such as so called intellectual property rights and patent rights and copyrights etc. Such advances and inventions mean nothing at all for humanity if they are going to hold a huge human population back from making progress to prosper. Slavery has not ended yet and will not end till all people work for the well being of each other without any negative barriers between them. 118] To the people who originally received and accepted Our guidance but later on went off the track, We forbade having and doing things which We have already told you about so it were not Us that imposed upon them the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other to inflict harms and destructions upon them rather it were they themselves who adopted that way of life due to which they ended up inflicting harms and destructions upon each other. Word HAADOO is from roots HAA, WOW and DAAL and HAA, DAAL and YAA. Already explained but it also means a light that shines on the path to make it visible for the person who is looking for the path to walk on it to reach his set destiny, guidance, sacrifice, offering, struggle, to be bright, to be lit, enlightened, guided, to walk before or in front of someone as a guide, a rock solid landmark that is visible from a distance, gift, donation, present, favour, the front part of a thing that become visible before the whole thing, spear head, to make clear or obvious or manifest, revelation, people who have received revelation or guidance from God, ease, facility, to become a Jew, to be a member of a community that claims to have received revelation from God, repentance, to mend one’s ways, to proceed gently and solemnly, to be indulgent, to be conciliatory, Jewry, to sing, to intoxicate, window, opportunity, hook, something upon which something can rely or can be hanged, door, path or way, hand, power, strength or authority etc etc. In verses like this Allah tells us that originally mankind were just like other animals till they became self aware and aware about real world realities and looked for guidance and therefore were guided by Allah but as time went by they all one by one fell away from the proper way of life they were advised with and replaced the advised way of life with their invented way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and so they ended up back in same kind of painful suffering and destruction in which they originally were before guidance. So there is little difference between original human beings who looked like people but were mentally at level animals hunting each other down for their personal satisfactions due to lack of their development in reasoning and guiding knowledge. The same is true of people today if they decide to remain ignorant of knowing things that help people live blissful, dignified and secure lives as proper human communities. A clear proof that development in technology does not make people proper humans but learning proper use of technology to ensure well being of mankind makes people proper human beings. So those who think the Quran is irrelevant today because we have advanced in technology can only be a foolish people who have not yet developed wider and deeper sense as to what knowledge is really about in context of well being of mankind. Allah has created everything and each thing can do something so great that humans even today cannot even imagine to do that, so mankind have yet to learn a lot more to be what Allah has designed them for. 119] Such an accusation by people that it is We who inflict them with painful suffering and destruction unnecessarily is not true because your Creator and Sustainer is surely with those who end up doing anything harmful and destructive out of ignorance but then turn to His guidance afterwards as they become aware of harm and destruction and try their best to overcome the result of it accordance to His guidance, so your Creator and Sustainer is there for them in form of His guidance even after what they have done in order to protect them through His blissful, dignifying and secure existence providing program. 120] Such a people were community that was brought about by Abraham, an upright nation because it was not like populations that lived by rule of law of rejecters and opponents of rule of law of Allah. 121] It always used blissful, dignifying and secure life providing guidance of Allah properly that is why He chose it as an example to point it out for other people to follow because He guided it to the way of life that was consistent with bringing about a proper human community and a kingdom based upon His guidance. 122 ] That is the reason We granted it through its own hard work a beautiful existence in kingdoms based upon Our guidance in life of this world for as long as it remained consistent with maintenance of its status according to Our guidance. 123] And now likewise We have revealed to you people Our plan saying, follow the way of life that was followed by Abraham the consistent and steadfast one, who was not of those who accepted for rulers others than Allah. 124] We for sure revealed Our program for bringing about a proper human community for those who rejected and opposed it and went against it therefore set-up systems and laws of your Creator and Sustainer will make His decision about them obvious for mankind to see regarding His advised way of life for them which they rejected and opposed on the day when masses will rise up against rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters. Word SABT is from root SEEN, BAA and TAA. Already explained but it also means tooth, something firmly in place, tradition, custom, way of life, constitution, house, tent, family, common ground, foundation, something that holds things together as a unit or set of things, womb, something that takes things in to collect them, brain, sack, bag, a container, wrapper, laziness, idleness, to be in motionless state, inactiveness, dead, stagnant, something that is ineffective or lifeless, slow or gradual process, an idea or plan that demands a long term commitment as well as hard work to come to fruition etc etc. These like verses explained to us what happened among earlier human populations when Allah sent his messengers with his program for set-up of community life for them. Powerful people among them who stood for personal gains fought against this program and by their tricks they confused and misled their masses into life based upon make beliefs to be able to use and abuse them at will that is what left rulers, money lenders and priests free to control people and resources as they wished just like rulers, money lenders and mullahs do even today. The whole fight is over who has the right over land and resources, means of production and distribution ie God or human beings? Some people always pushed God aside by inventing religions nonsense because religions made God a personal belief of individuals which left rulers free to use and abuse individuals at massive scale. So one can see mullahs did exactly the same with the Quran as people of the past scriptures did to their scriptures ie they misinterpreted it and misrepresented it to masses in order to give free hand to rulers and money lenders so that they could use and abuse masses in the name of God and religions. The so called SABBAT day among Jews is as absurd as among Christians and that is where Muslims got their religion from and all its sects along with all their make beliefs. SABBAT is in actual fact community building and maintaining program just like JUMUAH. Surah JUMUAH is named for that purpose and the word itself is from root JEEM, MEEM and AIN which has meaning of gathering ie community. Put words like SALAAT and JAMAAT together and see what it means ie community building program. That is exactly what AZAAN is ie a call or an invitation to a community building program in the name of ALLAH via his messenger which if followed will lead to success. Just like mullahs turned it into a prayer ritual so did the Jews and Christians. This is why the Quran wanted Muslims to call people of the book at the time of its revelation to teaching of the Quran because Jewish and Christian priesthood changed the original sense of the original words in the Toraah and Injeel and so did other people in the world who ever received the message from Allah. Therefore issue of Islam as a DEEN versus Islam as a RELIGION is very fundamental one for Muslims to sort out. Religions are a curse for mankind because they were plans that planted for leading humanity away from actual program of Allah which was for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind. 125] That is why you people who have accepted the message of the Quran through reasoning and evidences should keep inviting others to the way of life advised by your Creator and Sustainer by way of beautiful explanations based upon logical arguments and evidences based upon observations and that is how you should plead this case with them in a beautiful way, surely your Creator and Sustainer will make obvious in due course by way of outcome of his thoughts and actions whoever has fallen away from His advised way of life as well as whoever has followed His advised way of life faithfully. 126] So should you decide to pursue them then do pursue them that way to win them over to your way of life as you are pursued by them to win you over to their way of life, therefore should you show consistency with steadfastness then that will prove highly decisive in deciding the outcome in this matter. 127] Therefore show consistency with courage in pursuing them because your confidence cannot be but due to revealed wisdom of Allah, so worry not about their thoughts and actions and distress not yourself due to their plots and tricks. 128] Surely Allah supports through His guidance only those who prove to be consistent with His guidance such as do such works that ensure beautiful existence for mankind through fulfilling their needs and wants. The Quran does not tell people to do odd good acts for others every once in a while but instead a person has to be consistent in his commitment to cause of deen of Islam. No mission can succeed unless the mission itself is good for people and that people on the mission know what it is in all necessary detail and they have prepared themselves for it fully therefore have full confidence in the mission and themselves that they can carry it through successfully. |
Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 17 AL-ISRA–The journey of humanity for self discovery and discovery of real world realities as well as message of its creator and sustainer through observation, research and exploration from the time of its origin till the time of establishment of a kingdom by it based upon blissfully dignifying and secure life providing guidance of Allah and beyond
The name of this Surah is ISRA from roots SEEN, RAA and WOW; SEEN, RAA and YAA; SEEN, WOW and RAA and SEEN, YAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is movement from or towards some reference point in some sense. Also journey, travelling, persistence, constant struggle, being on the move constantly or always, transmission, advance or proceed or go ahead, story, to spread unobtrusively, to remove, to travel by night, to seep, to transport someone by night, the highest part of something, to journey towards open land or open mind, to open up something in some sense, running stream of water, rivulet, an important person or a notable person, a generous or brave person, history, move swiftly or fast but smoothly and constantly, activity for some purpose or end, campaign for a cause, sail, go through or along with something, walking, marching, caravan, something common, manner of ruling other people, biography, history, strap, an account or story of life of someone or an organisation or an institution or something told or composed by another in form of writing or speech, chief, head, manager, something that is firmly fixed in a place, someone firmly fixed on an idea or a course of action, custom, tradition, constitution, rule of law, way of life, culture, example, something organised or regulated, hand, power, authority, foundation, hook, something reliable, something upon which something could be hooked or hanged etc etc. This Surah is named ISRA but words BANI ISRAA-EEL are also interesting as its description because word BANI not only means children or sons but also things that are centre of attention, goals, foundations, basis, ancestors, members of family, things that are part of a set of things, followers, supporters or successors etc as well. Word ISRAA-EEL is made of two words, ISRAA and EEL. EEL is EL in Hebrew meaning ILAAH or God, ruler, power or authority etc and ISRAA is from SAARA in Hebrew meaning steadfastness, persistence or struggle etc. The combination means the one founded on guidance of God or one who tries to live his life by guidance from God or the one on a mission from God etc. In the Quran however this Surah is named ISRA because it takes mankind on a journey of learning and discovery and along the way it talks about some historical events of which children of Israel were a part. This surah is named AL-ISRA not only because it takes the messenger of Allah on a journey of learning and discovery so that then he could lead mankind on the path he is taught by Allah but because it takes mankind on a journey of self discovery and universal awareness as well as awareness about proper concept of God and revelation. Word ABD used in the very first verse is used in sense of a creature called human being and the idea is to turn man into a man of God through education by turning attention of man to things he must learn if he is to become a human being worth the name. Human being is a special creature of God because he has been created with abilities for self awareness as well as with abilities for awareness about other things and finally with abilities for awareness about his creator and sustainer. Unless a human being is self aware and aware of other things as well one cannot become aware of his creator and sustainer. The question is, why is it necessary that man must become aware of his creator and sustainer? The answer is because unless man becomes aware of God mankind cannot exist nor survive or prosper satisfactorily as it should or as it is supposed to. To begin with, a human being has to be a human being biologically then psychologically and then sociologically as well. As far as biological development of a human being is concerned that is a natural process but when it comes to psychological and sociological development that involves personal effort. Nature does its job but if nurture is not up to scratch then a human being fails to develop a balanced personality therefore one cannot become a proper human being. In fact, if human society itself is problematic then those problems translate into defective development of individuals even biologically. The negative discriminations and divisions in human society have serious affects on all aspects of development of individuals including biological development eg if a person does not receive proper nourishment then one is not going to develop properly. So children from rich and poor families are bound to be very different and that is why humans cannot afford to be discriminatory against each other or consequences could be very serious. So a properly balanced human society is necessary for proper development of individuals so that human society as a whole could develop and progress so that it prospers as it should. Since properly balanced human society cannot be brought about without members of human society being self aware and being aware of other things including each other so understanding the journey of self discovery and discovery of other things as well as God is all part of the same drawn out long process. This raises some very fundamental questions like what is self awareness, what is awareness of environment, what is awareness of things that interact in that environment, what is awareness of creator and sustainer, why do we need all this awareness and how can we gain all this awareness or discover all this for ourselves as individuals and as a proper human community? All this is needed for switching over mindset, attitude and behaviour from one way of life to another. From harmful and destructive or negative way of life to beneficial and constructive or positive way of life. Self awareness is mainly about discovering oneself eg what one is, what one can do and why one needs to do what one is capable of doing. It is all about discovering one’s own abilities or hidden potentialities that are waiting to be actualised. Ideas do not become real till we make them real. One can imagine a nice building but it can only be out there in reality once one gets up and builds it as one has imagined it. How strong one is cannot be found out till one tests one’s strength against something else. This is a very long trial and error based process involving brain, senses and body mechanism as well as other things with which one has to interact. Only by becoming self aware one can then concentrate on finding out things about other things eg what they are, how they come about, what are they capable of doing and how they can be used to benefit from etc etc. If one is not even self aware, one cannot really become aware of other things either and staying ignorant about things is not an option because human beings cannot afford it. It is because if you are ignorant about yourself and other things then not only you cannot benefit from them but you cannot face the danger they pose to your survival either. You may like to kiss a snake because you like it but it could bit you and you will be dead. The fire may look very beautiful from a distance but if you jumped into it then very soon you will become a burnt kebab. A river flowing of fresh water may look pleasant to you from the river bank but if you fell into it by accident and did not know how to swim it could drown you. All this shows why one has to become self aware and aware of other things that surround one. It is because all that exists has to exist in harmony so that it works therefore mankind must also become part of same universal reality hence the need for information that could be used as guidance to navigate through maze of life and its environment. This is where in comes need for some guide and that guide has to be someone all aware because otherwise the unaware cannot lead another unaware. The guidance does not tell mankind the list of what is dangerous for it in the world but guidelines how to find out whether it is dangerous or not. There are so many things in the world that pose danger for mankind that listing is not possible for mankind to handle and not everyone is going to come across those things in their lifetime so having a list will be pointless and difficult to cope with. This is why man is given ability to learn through trial and error by setting up experiments. If you want to know whether a berry is poisonous, start with a small quantity and keep increasing and observing whether it has caused any change in the human body or mind and if that change is for the better or worse. If result is betterment and pleasant or it causes problems then categorise it as such and spread the word so that others become aware of its benefit or harm. This is why the Quran does not list beneficial or harmful foods as mullahs will have us believe. The main reason is cumbersome list with which human mind cannot cope but also the fact that wrong use of anything can prove dangerous. If one eats too much of fruit or vegetable or any other food and or drinks too much of water or any juices, all this could become life threatening. Sugar is dangerous for a person suffering from diabetes. Drunkard people could end up doing a lot of damage to themselves and others because they lose ability of judging things properly or proper awareness of things. This is why the Quran provides guidelines for mankind about mindset, attitude and behaviour. If one follows guidelines then one will navigate through things safely. This is why human attention is drawn by this surah to such level of awareness that could give mankind a blissful, dignified and secure existence. It is because once you are better aware of other things you can save yourself from the danger they may pose and also you could use them better to benefit from their use. Like every human being a prophet is also a human being and learns and does things the way a human being does from the day he is born till the day he dies. He does not have any supernatural abilities or powers. The information he has about God is all revealed to him by God and not his own findings by his own efforts through his own abilities. Human beings cannot detect God through their senses but God is able to get his message through to mankind by way of some set-up mechanism about which humanity is yet unaware because mankind have not yet progressed in what human brain is and how it exactly works. This is why it is not a good idea to ask people things about which only God ought to know not people till they discover them because it is irrelevant for people to know each and everything in full detail right from the very beginning of their existence. Human learning process for discovering things is a very long process that involves very, very hard work by people for a very, very long time. What people need to know is therefore relevant and God has fulfilled human need and anything beyond that matters not till mankind come to that stage of learning and doing things. The other point people should realise is this that not everything needs to be taught to man by God, man is created with abilities to learn things all by himself through brain, senses and body mechanism he is gifted with by God. So what we expect from God may be within our own reach and that is why God did not bother telling us about it because he knew we will be able to find it out by ourselves. After all, all that we learn is made possible for us by God because had he not given us the tools like brain and senses and body mechanism etc then we could not have learned anything at all. So demands like God should have done this or that for us are all useless talk unless we learn to think things through thoroughly. It is necessary that we discover our own potential first and then learn the divine revelation and then see if what we thought we needed from God is still needed or not. This is exactly what this surah seems to be about ie we the mankind are taken on a journey of discovery by the Quran. We had to become self aware of our own abilities right from the day we were born and then we had to start exploring whatever we came across to see how it came about, how it worked, what possible purpose it might be serving in scheme of things and how can we make it useful for ourselves to benefit from it. Once we have come to realise this much then we come to stage of learning how to live as good human beings and that is why it is time for us to undertake journey of discovery of this kind of information and make sense of it so that then we could use it as basis for our organisation and regulation of our human community for proper management of human beings and available resources. God has already decided his own role as well as roles for what he has created and none is allowed to interfere in each other’s roles or things will become messed up and chaotic. So if anyone does anything which one is not supposed to do then result will not be good for him. It is precisely because people are not doing things they ought to do and they do things which they are not supposed to do that the world is not what it ought to be. It will never be what it ought to be unless each and everything played its part in this world properly. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] Sovereignty belongs to Him alone whose set-up systems and structures are constantly at work according to His set-up laws in the universe to manifest His glory through fulfilling His purpose according to His plan Who took on a journey of learning and discovery His human creature right from the time of his unawareness in order to enlighten him about the nature of the kingdom based upon His guidance, the kingdom that will come into being in a distant future, within jurisdiction of which We have placed potential for blissful, dignified and secure existence for mankind so that We show Our human creature Our program, goals and guidelines at work, surely he is created with ability of observation to learn and ability of understanding and doing things. Word SUBHAAN is from root SEEN, BAA and HAA. Already explained but it also means way of life, path, custom, example, something firmly fixed in its place, tooth, landmark, tent, house, family, household, unity, something that is stable itself and gives stability or foundation to something else, something that works as fast or as hard or as good as it can, something that manifests itself or something else, fence, obstacle, limit, something that is limited or limits something else in some way etc etc. This verse makes clear purpose of creation ie God wanted to express himself in form of his creativity by way of creation and revelation and in order to show his glory he created man and then took him on a journey of learning and explained all this to him so that he appreciates creativity of his creator and sustainer through learning and doing things himself. 2] For this reason We gave Moses the book as Our guidance for children of Israel saying, never adopt any way of life recommended by anyone other than the one recommended for you by Me for your blissful, dignified and secure existence. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind that proper rule of law is only that which is recommended by Allah whereby mankind must use all that exists for their well being properly so that humanity could prosper and flourish as it is supposed to according to its creator and sustainer therefore anyone who invents or invites people to any other way of life or rule of law is actually inviting them to their painful suffering and destruction by hands of each other. It is because if guidance for a way of life is already there which can ensure unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind then why do people need any other way of life to live by unless they want divisions, wars, regression and poverty of all sorts? If people look at the state of the world today in which they live they can see it clearly whatever is going on because rulers, money lenders and mullahs are busy dividing mankind against each other and setting them up against each other. The result is huge human population deliberately put through painful suffering and destruction by hand of each other. So people need to stand back and think what is going on and who is making all this happen and for what. 3] You are descendents of those whom We got onboard with Noah for establishing Our rule of law in the world and he indeed proved himself a man worth the name by using Our provisions according to Our guidance. The Quran repeatedly names names and either approves their mindset, attitude and behaviour or condemns it. It does not promote personality cult that people who have done what they were supposed to do should be taken as more than human beings and be equalled to God in the sense that their word or deed regardless right or wrong becomes authority in itself. This is why when God talks about words and deeds of Abraham he only approves what he said and did where he did not make any mistake in relation to guidance of Allah. If any person was to be followed 100% like a cult leader then people had to follow all words and deeds of a person even his mistakes, be they result of his human error or deliberate wrong doings. For example, if a prophet by mistake got his hand burnt in fire due to an accident then followers also had to do it deliberately to imitate the prophet so that that act of prophet is also imitated as an example of the prophet for his followers to follow. This shows stupidity of all the mullahs who think people should imitate messengers of Allah this way instead of following messengers of Allah in the sense they are ought to be followed ie following the way of life advised by Allah. This is why such people are seen trying to live back in time because they want to do things the prophet did just to imitate his actions regardless of reason why he did what he did and when he did what he did. If this is the level of reasoning of a people who claim to be Muslims then one can see why ummah is in the state that it is in and why the world is laughing at this ummah. This is the reason madrassas need to be monitored by learned people of ummah as to what sort of deen of Islam is taught in them by teachers in them and those teachers need to be educated and forced to teach only what they know about Islam properly instead of they trying their hand on teaching things they have no clue about in the name of deen of Islam. 4] Besides this We also forewarned children of Israel that if you will not live by Our advised way of life then for sure you will repeatedly cause wars in the world for seeking dominance over each other by trying to undermine each other and thereby inflict huge painful suffering and destruction upon mankind. In the context of the Quran children of Israel are people who are provided with guidance by Allah to live by not just Israelites or people known as Jews or Christians etc. These are people who were given the message by Allah for their guidance and they originally accepted it and acted upon it but later on turned away from it. It is distinction made by Allah between people who originally accepted or rejected the message. Those who rejected the message like Iblees did in time of Adam are not part of this group which originally accepted the message like those who supported Adam but then later on fell away from it due to conspiracies by Iblees and his supporters or opponents of way of life advised by Allah. This is why all people are people of the book who claim to have received revelation from Allah or God in a wider context not just Jews and Christians. Party of Iblees has been fighting within itself always as well as with party that accepted the way of life advised by Allah but party that accepted the proper way of life also fell away from proper way of life every now and then and when it did it too became victim of same fate as the party of Iblees. This is why the Quran needs to be understood in this context when it talks about guided people who fell away from the proper way of life that was advised for them by Allah. From this explanation it is not difficult to see that mullahs are wrong in telling people that it is due to their lack of faith in make beliefs and lack of effort in following useless rituals that they are suffering painfully and are faced with destruction. The Quran makes it absolutely clear that it is due to their lack of proper understanding of way of life advised by Allah and its faithful implementation that people are suffering pain and destruction by hands of each other. It is because they have adopted personal gains based way of life at the expense of each other instead of living as a proper human community that cares for each other and shares whatever it produces with help of each other. If people worked hard as one single family what could stop them from building a beautiful world for themselves after having knowledge and skills how to do things? If today all people decided to live as a proper human community then within a generation our world will become a totally changed world ie hell will transformed into paradise so to speak. 5] So when the very first time Our forewarning became real due to your doings you were told not to do, Our set-up systems and laws let rise against you some of Our mighty warriors who saw you as their enemies they rampaged through your institutions turning them upside down about which you were warned already. Here it is told that despite Allah warning people not to adopt any other way of life against the one advised by him they did exactly that and fell into disputes between themselves and so they became factions therefore they became a weak people whom outsiders saw as a target so they came and left them devastated just like Muslim ummah of today that is being beaten up by all from every side due to its falling away from the way of life that was advised by Allah in the Quran. Their mullahs tell them all this is happening to them because they have given up faith in make beliefs and are not carrying out useless rituals properly which they call deen of Islam so if they did all that then Allah will make everything fine for them. They have a totally wrong way of looking at the message of the Quran. Nowhere in the Quran Allah talks about anything of that sort. The message of the Quran is very clear that this world works according natural laws as set by Allah with systems and structures in place so all outcomes are naturally decided by actions taken by things or people. No way that people cause one thing to happen but result is something completely irrelevant to the cause. If you sow the seeds for corn there is no way the crops that will result will be wheat. Thoughts are thoughts, words are words and actions are actions. Each is effective in its own way only to the extent it can. Physical world is only affected by physical means and that is the way Allah has designed this world. If just wishing on its own affected the world, we all have many wishes every moment of the day. Only those wishes of people can come true for which people can work and they do it as well to turn them into reality. Likewise the day people learn the message of the Quran properly and work properly to make it a reality the world will become what it is promised to become by Allah. It is not for Allah to do things but for us mankind. All Allah had to do was tell us things to guide us about it and he has done it so it is our turn to learn and do what needs to be done if we want the kind of life that is promised by Allah to us in the Quran. The promise is not at all unreal and that is beauty of it all ie such an existence is not outside reach of humanity if they decided to go for it but the real question is will we go for it and if so when? In this verse Allah calls attackers his mighty warriors not in positive sense but in sense they thought of themselves. They too were people of Allah because he created them and provided them with means to do whatever they did. The point made by Allah here is that he does not take sides when it comes to outcome of peoples’ thoughts actions. Whoever fights to win if he has prepared himself better than his enemy then he is promised victory over the enemy. This is why Allah tells those who claim to be Muslims that if you are true to your claim then you are promised victory over your enemies. Is this ummah that claims to be a Muslim family or brotherhood really a Muslims ummah that Allah will lead to victory over its enemies? How many of them are self aware and know the message of the Quran in light of realities of the real world as they should? How many have prepared themselves faithfully as members of this ummah? These like questions can show us the real state of existence of this ummah and unless people take interest in educating themselves and each other, there is no chance of any change for the better any sooner. Rulers, money lenders and mullahs are happy with things as they are so ummah will have to kick such people out of it or they will not let it become a proper human family as required by the Quran. A proper family needs no rulers, no money lenders and no mullahs. It needs people who are scholars in each and every field of knowledge who have skills and can take ummah forward with full confidence. Islam is a deen not a set of make beliefs and useless rituals. It is a way of life advised by Allah that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community. 6] Then after this We afforded you an opportunity to overcome their harm and destruction by helping you through prosperity based upon Our provided foundations and that is how We granted you more manpower. What happens after a people have suffered a heavy attack by their enemies is that they either pick up the pieces and become united on some basis and start again and rebuild themselves into a community or they give up hope and fall apart totally and in due course end up destroyed. It has been usually the case with people based upon revelations of Allah that they always made a comeback as well as in a much bigger way than ever before. Today Muslim ummah is in a terrible state of existence but the Quran tells us that it will take a stand in due course and will make a comeback in a much bigger way than ever before. No matter how other people are treating this ummah it is only till people of this ummah treat each other that way. The day ummah decides to become an ummah things will change overnight because this ummah is very powerful even today if it decides to unite on basis of way of life told in the Quran. This is why in order to stop it from unity world is united in funding and backing its rulers, money lenders and mullahs to keep it divided so that it does not succeed in bring about a united world. If Muslims learned the message of the Quran properly and shared it with rest of mankind properly then soon all rulers, money lenders and mullahs everywhere will be in deep trouble through their masses. This is why rulers, money lenders and mullahs are trying to do all they can to keep Muslim ummah from educating themselves properly so that they do not come out of confusion these people have created for them in the name of Allah by using make beliefs and useless rituals. Not only that they have also invented a way of using money to enslave humanity and Muslims in particular due to the message of the Quran for the well being of humanity. A clear proof of the fact that rulers, money lenders and mullahs deliberately create poverty and all other problems to remain in positions of power over masses through control over land and resources, means of production and distribution. A lot of food is destroyed in order to keep the market price level whereas thousands of people die every day without food and water. Just as people suffer and die due illnesses despite medicine being available so is food market controlled by price mafia of money lenders. So those who cannot afford the set price can go to hell as far as they are concerned. Does humanity need this way of life or is it happy with it? If not then why it does not do something about it instead of accepting it and doing nothing at all other than complaining about it? Who can stop people from coming together as a proper human family if they decided to do that instead of remaining slaves of the few rulers, money lenders and mullahs? Why must mankind accept the life of animals and worse by hands of each other? 7] So whatever you the people did as per Our program to make the life of each other beautiful it was for your own benefit as a proper human community but if you did any harm to each other, it only proved harmful and destructive for yourselves as a proper human community. Likewise when you gave up abiding by Our rule of law at another time and Our warning became fulfilled the second time, We let rise another fighting force to undermine your harmful and destructive ambitious goals and they too penetrated your kingdom, institution and jurisdiction as the former had entered it before and they also utterly destroyed all that they laid their hands on. These verses talk about what happens when a people no longer live the way they are supposed to. The result is divisions within the very same community and as that weakens a community it then becomes a target of another equally brutal party and so all such people end up harming and destroying each other for seeking domination over each other. However, another chance may avail itself so people must take it by learning lessons from the previous state of affairs. The question is, how people ought to live? People are given a program by Allah for goals to accomplish according to some guidelines and they are not supposed to neglect it nor sit on it because this way not only they fail themselves but also other communities round about them that depend on them for guidance. So long as a people properly understand and use message of Allah to benefit from and help others do the same and the response of other people is also satisfactory a situation cannot arise that could cause serious problems among people in form of harm and destruction. Problems only come about if people given the message do not bother living by it or other people to whom the message is taken do not respond properly to it. If a community that is given the message neglects the message then it is not going to escape troubles by its own hand as well as by hands of those who they have ignored. However, if the community with message does all it needs to do yet opponents respond arrogantly then there is little chance of them overcoming people who live by commandments of Allah for the good of humanity. That is because God cannot be defeated and acting on his guidance properly ensures that such people can never be overcome by their opponents ever. The main reason is these people are well prepared, biologically, psychologically and socially. Not at all afraid of dying or being killed for the cause nor afraid of killing others who attack them to stop their cause from progressing. If a cause is sound and it is properly founded and the people who accept it are genuine then the combination becomes very effective that can withstand all attacks from every side. People who oppose ummah know this that is why they want to keep Muslims confused about their way of life advised by Allah so that they keep them fighting each other so that they have no time to sit and think what they are doing to each other and why otherwise if they started finding out then they will stop fighting each other and become united and then their real enemies will become target of their rage. 8] Now your Creator and Sustainer can once again grant you peace and prosperity through His blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program for you through this messenger but if you will repeat the same mindset, attitude and behaviour then We too will let the same consequences take place because We have set-up the systems and laws that ensure painful suffering engulfs such as do not abide by Our advised way of life to become a proper human community. 9] Surely this Quran guides mankind to a way of life that is proper for leading those who will commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind to a lasting blissful, dignified and secure existence because it gives good news to such people as take effective steps to remove rifts from between people in order to mend relationship between them for becoming a proper human community therefore there awaits for them for sure a great outcome for doing that which is blissful, dignified and secure existence. 10] On the other hand it delivers most severe warnings for those who will not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind for the brighter future of humanity as a proper human community that systems and laws are in place already to ensure they are delivered the results of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions whereby they are bound to end up in terrible painful suffering and destruction by hands of each other. 11] Therefore mankind should rely upon a way of life whereby they ensure well being of each other instead of relying upon a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby they end up inflicting harms and destructions upon each other out of rivalries and animosities yet mankind go for harming and destroying each other for quick personal gains at the expense of blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community. The universe created by Allah is not an open ended thing that has no purpose to it rather it is created by Allah with a set purpose in mind and that is the way it is planned and designed to work and deliver the results or outcomes of interactions of things as well as people. Therefore whatever people will do there are going to be consequences that people will face as results of their own thoughts and actions or interactions. Therefore there is no escape for anyone in any way for his harmful and destructive thoughts and actions. It is therefore better for people to think and act properly than doing as they please thoughtlessly. It is therefore absolutely necessary that people have proper ambitions and desires so that they could develop right mindsets, attitudes and behaviours that take them forward in life successfully. Harmful and destructive ambitions and desires can only bring painful suffering and destruction for mankind through harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. 12] Just as We allowed mankind the choice between brotherhood and animosity so We let there be phenomena of night (like darkness of ignorance or dark days of poverty and cruelty) and the day (like light of knowledge or bright days of progress and prosperity and compassion and good will) as signs of two extremes. By night We let darkness cover up things under shadow of darkness to become invisible and by day we let things come under light to become visible, so that you could seek your livelihood as a provision by your Creator and Sustainer, and so that you could keep records of things and use them to work out your future plans for your future activities. That is why We explained all essential things in all necessary detail. Just a reminder that verses such as this carry multiple concepts in them all in one in the very same piece of text as explained already in detail. Just as day and night make things obvious or obscure so knowledge and ignorance make things obvious or obscure or so prosperity opens door to development and progress or so poverty wraps up things imposing stagnation and regression resulting in all sorts of problems. Record keeping is said to be very important for making progress because all people need for the future planning can be learned and planned from the knowledge already learned in the past. People who look to future without knowing past cannot understand future at all, it is simply put impossible. It is like one is born anew and from now on can learn like a new born baby and once one has gathered enough experience only then one can look to future with confidence. For planning things properly for the future knowing past is absolutely essential. The Quran is a very strange book when it talks about things because things humanity even today fails to realise it has drawn its attention to them a very long time ago. 13] That is how We have linked the future destiny of mankind as a whole to their own past efforts for learning and doing things, so if man will fail to abide by Our advised way of life then at the time of uprising We will let missionaries bring out for him a book and lay it open before him as a future program or manifesto, 14] so he will be told, read the book laid open before you. Today you are in enough trouble to take yourself to task for what you did to get into this situation given the freedom, provisions and guidance. 15] So only a population that seeks Our guidance is guided for its own well being but any that ignores Our guidance does so risking its own harm and destruction by hands of each other. No human population is held or wants to be held accountable for another concerning lack of fulfilment of responsibilities of its members to each other so We never put any human population through painful suffering and destruction and instead We sent a messenger to it to help it guide itself. 16] That is how at the time of planning things We decided to leave a township to itself to guide or destroy itself after We had sent Our guidance to its rulers, money lenders, priests and people but in course of time if they rebelled against it instead of accepting it and remained divided into factions for personal gains at the expense of each other then Our warning proved true about them and they ended up utterly destroyed by hands of each other. Word MUTRAF is from root TAA, RAA and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is totally free in some sense. Also a person who has no concern for anything, a person who does what he pleases without any concern for consequences for himself or others, a person who has no regard for law and order, a person who disregards rule of law, a person who is law unto himself, a criminal, someone who considers himself above the law, someone who lacks awareness of importance of rule of law, ignorant or illiterate or uneducated person, uncultivated or uncivilised or uncultured, a person who is rich or wealthy, a person who has plenty of things of need or want, an affluent person, a watering place within easy reach or access, to be watered, good food, to live in luxury, to provide with lavish means, to cause to be opulent, to be corrupted by ease of living, anyone endowed with good things in life of this world, the one spoilt by wealth and easy living, womb, container, sack, head, chief, manager, mouth, to eat, to devour, to speak, to have taste for etc etc. 17] That is how We saw many of the human generations destroying themselves since the time of Noah. Sufficiently efficient are set-up universal systems and laws of your Creator and Sustainer in showing results of thoughts and actions of His human creatures to them demonstrating clearly to them His abilities of awareness and dealing with all affairs. In these verses it is made absolutely clear by Allah that he created all things with a set purpose in mind and so he planned and designed the universe for that end and therefore whatever is happening in the world is happening in that context regardless anyone likes it or hates, accepts it or rejects. Nothing can escape its destiny as plan by Allah no matter what it does regardless willingly or unwillingly. The world as created by Allah is moving with time in the direction that Allah has set for it and nothing can stop it from moving that direction. These verses also tell that Allah did not created things for purpose of putting them through painful suffering but because the goal set by Allah and the tasks involved for fulfilment of that goal do have their own limitations that cannot be escaped even by God as explained in detail already. In other words there are things that Allah can do and there are things that he cannot do. Allah is not a God invented by philosophers who is infinite and undefined and therefore cannot do anything at all. Such a God could only be an imaginary God not real who does have limitations. It is because Allah is limited by being a God just as a human being is limited by being a human being. Each thing is limited by its own nature of being be it God or anything else. This is why if God decides to do something then it will involve compromises due to side effects or by products. As already explained Allah decided to create people as babies born of their mothers and growing up has its own ups and downs that are part and parcel of the process regardless we like it or not. Why Allah had to create human beings as babies has been explained already in detail ie Allah wanted mankind to self program themselves so that they could express their ability of freedom of choice without any hindrance and could do what they like and as they like. All he did was provided them with guidance as well to which they could refer if they came to see the need for that. This is why Allah keeps telling mankind to be proper human beings with help of his guidance so that they could avoid a lot of harm and destruction which they inflict upon each other and due to which they also suffer from other problems for not paying attention to them due to being involved with each other the wrong way. So it is up to people to accept and follow guidance or do as they please and keep suffering the consequences as made clear by Allah. 18] So he who works for quick personal gain at the expense of his existence as a part of proper human community We readily grant him such things as We planned to whoever decides to work for them and We leave him on this road of his choice to end up in state of painful suffering wherein he remains disgraced and rejected by rest of his own human kind. 19] However he who decides to work for brilliant future as a part of proper human community, the endeavour of every such person in the proper human community leads community as a whole to a blissful, dignified and secure existence because such people indeed work for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind because they use all Our provisions appropriately. 20] That is how We bestow upon all fruits of their labours in forms of their thoughts and actions – those who do not follow Our advised way of life as well as those who do- out of the provision of your Creator and Sustainer, because bounties of your Creator and Sustainer are not confined to any person or population but are there for all to benefit from. 21] See how We leave free some populations to rise above others in the struggle for survival and excellence due to what people themselves do, certainly the distances between distinct populations in due course are going to become yet greater for contrast to be more visible. No doubt populations that learn from each other beat each other at it but people who rise up enough in their awareness to accept message of Allah and do as it advises leave behind all in going for excellence as a proper human community. As we will see in later surahs the Quran will repeatedly tell us that Allah has sent this message to make the proper way of life clearly distinct from the rest for people to see and follow. 22] So accept no rule of law of anyone other than Allah lest you the mankind who have accepted His advised way of life become isolated from each other as groups and become stuck in rivalry and revenge therefore poverty and destruction and become trapped in this situation and end up destroyed. Word MAZMOOMAA is from root ZAAL, MEEM and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is something for which someone is held responsible or liable. Also an undertaking, guaranty, pledge, agreement, covenant, pact, protection, dirt, to revile, to abuse, responsibility, liability, accountability, to be answerable for something to someone, condemned, an agreement for mutual protection between two parties, an agreement based on mutual interest of parties involved, personal undertaking in good faith, a people who are under protection of another people, discredited, blamed, revengeful, water, something that settles the matter, something that quenches the thirst for animosity or friendship, something that fulfils requirement for something, to become isolated or trapped, to become stuck in a situation, boycotted etc etc. Word MAKHZOOLAA is from root KHAA, ZAAL and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is something that becomes separated from its group. Also a gazelle that becomes separated from its flock, a person who becomes separated from his community or group, someone left behind by the group, someone separated from the group by the group, a person who withdraws his support from the group at a time when the group is fully convinced that he will help, someone who leaves someone in lurch after convincing him of his support, someone who move away in time of need, someone who is left on his own in time of need, strangler, to stay behind, to be left behind, to fail to support, to weaken, to stay put, to let down, to deny one assistance, to forsake, tom leave in lurch, one given to letting others down, one characterised by forsaking friends, a deserter in time of need, the one let down or forsaken or abandoned, ox-gaol, something that inspires or motivates, to become trapped or stuck in a situation etc etc. These verses explain the fact that when people live by way of life based on personal gains at the expense of each other the community spirit is lost therefore it is not approved by God. As time passes rivalries set in among such people and divisions come about and extend into animosity and hatred and fights and wars and so poverty settles in permanently and life becomes hell that people bring upon themselves and eventually such people end up destroyed by hands of each other. The only way to ensure this does not happen is to live by rule of law of Allah in form of his advised way of life or deen of Islam as explained throughout the Quran. 23] This is why your Creator and Sustainer decreed that you the mankind should not take any ruler other than Him so that with help of His guidance and each other you could bring about blissful, dignified and secure existence for your dependents in form of young and old. If both (young and old) or either of them approach you the community for matters of great importance for community, do not show lack of interest in their concern nor rebuke them instead encourage them and deal with their concerns in a way that leads to blissful, dignifying and secure existence of proper human community. In verses where Quran uses certain words that are used as human relationship indicators we need to take them in broader sense for their significance in relation to community and its people because the Quran is given so that people set up themselves as a proper human community. Words like parents, mother, father, brother, sister, wife, husband, man, woman, son daughter etc etc as explained already elsewhere have more satisfactory meanings that suit the context of the Quranic text. The Quran is making a very important point that human relationships are a meaningless concept if people have no proper foundation to give them context and perspective. In fact this is what makes the difference between animal behaviour in a jingle and human behaviour in a human society brought about upon proper foundation. The Quran provides that context in form of wider human family ie brotherhood of mankind. The main reason is that if people fail to respect each other as human beings then father, mother, brother sister etc have no place value whatsoever. Once humanity loses sense of place values regarding each other then there is no way it can ever build a proper human community. It is because when you have no value for life of another human being or his loved ones then why should anyone give any value to your life or the life of your loved ones or things that are valuable to you? Once people go for each other then it is as bad as they are killing themselves by their own very hands. So it is very important that people use wider angle to see implications of words and deeds. One’s own self and family is only safe if one can guaranty safety of others and that is why it has to be a mutual goodwill approach before individuals could matter. This is why the ummah concept in the Quran is important before mother and father as individuals. This is why the Quran uses mother and father words in sense of nation and leadership. If community spirit is not there then none is safe regardless one is mother or father, brother or sister, wife or husband, parent or child. This is why humanity cannot afford breakdown of human community relationship. If community spirit is at work, all will have dignity but if it is not there then all are bound to suffer and if such important matter is ignored then it will not take long before signs of harms and destructions start appearing and gain momentum of their own. This is why all steps that create or maintain negative divisions in the human society must be gotten rid of, the sooner the better. The main point to remember is that the Quran wants dignified treatment of all people by each other without any negative discrimination. The idea that you should look after your parents is falsehood put in place by mullahs to individualise Islam as a personal matter to turn it into a religion. It is same as people were told, look after your mothers because paradise lay under the feet of your mother. Again a misleading act of mullahs for individualising Islam at the expense of breaking down the community spirit in the ummah rather than the ummah wide concept of Islam as a deen. The truth is, ummah=nation is mother of its individuals. If there is a community worth the name then life has to be paradise in that community. Mullahs are an embarrassment for ummah how they fight tooth and nail to keep Islam a personal matter for an individual and a religion instead of a deen and they get funding for that from such sources which benefit from their this stance about Islam. So masses need to start thinking to figure out how they have been misled by their mullahs in the very name of Islam. 24] You the person in administration and management and production and distribution team for goods and services should be consistent with others in the team in order to deliver to the managed young and old blissful, dignified and secure sustenance saying, my Creator and Sustainer provide them with blissful, dignified and secure sustenance through me as You provided me with sustenance through them when I was young and depended upon my predecessors in the administration and management. To be part of an administration or management team or production and distribution team is a blessing because it gives one opportunity to serve others. On the other hand it is huge responsibility because the whole community’s life and death is in hands of its management and its workers through which it is supposed to produce and deliver to all goods and services at the points of need on time. A little thing that goes wrong could mean a lot of stress for someone who suffers as a result of this negligence or mistake. This is why the Quran takes these things very seriously and tells people to put in place only those who are fit to do the job after proper education and training so that one has the needed knowledge and skills for carrying out one’s duty to the best of one’s ability. Something that rulers, money lenders and mullahs avoid for people and that is why they do not build proper educational institutions such as proper schools, colleges and universities etc because they know that if masses got their education then they can no longer use and abuse them at will because they will know better so they will ask a lot of questions when anyone will tell them to do anything. It is easier to keep people like animals and handle them like animals. This is why even in 21st century a huge part of human population in the world is completely ignorant, illiterate and uneducated. No wonder such people are easy target for mullahs to make fool of them and use and abuse them in the name of God. 25] Your Creator and Sustainer makes obvious for others to see your motives in your minds through your actions. So if you will act to remove rifts between people for reconciliation between them for fostering good relationships then surely He will bring it about again and again because He alone is protector of mankind through His blissful, dignifying and secure existence providing program. 26] Therefore fulfil your responsibilities towards each other faithfully by delivering the rights of each other to each other as a properly settled community and as a people on a journey towards a properly settled community so do not take away rights of each other through transgression against each other because that way in due course you will end up destroyed by hands of each other. 27] Surely those who are bent on transgressing limits set by Allah they are supporters of the leadership that is harmful and destructive for the community life and surely the harmful and destructive leadership always opposed the program of your Creator and Sustainer through misusing His provisions. Word MUBAZZREEN is from root BAA, ZAAL and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to discrimination. Also to differentiate, to cause differences, to cause division, to make defective, to cause fault, to get rid of something, to spread something, to use even that grain which one keeps for planting and have nothing to plant one time comes, farming, the new plant when it sprouts and shows through soil, tent, house, family, head, chief, manager, to leave or neglect something in such a way that it becomes destroyed, to do something in such a way that one ends up harming or destroying oneself or others, to transgress the limit, to go beyond a set point, seed, seedling, to sow, to disseminate, to divulge, to squander, to waste, spendthrift etc etc. 28] But even if you the supporters of Our program have to move away from such people as are harmful and destructive for community life for establishing the program of your Creator and Sustainer as you are directed for it yet keep explaining to them His program the way it sinks in their minds. 29] In any case you should neither cut off your ties with your opponents completely nor become so accommodating that you end up being harmed by them yourselves by becoming totally trapped by their way of life. This verse tells Muslims very clearly that no matter what they must keep a window open between themselves and nonMuslims ie a working relationship must always exist so that there is always transfer of information in order to bring sense to each other through message of God. Had this window been closed for good that would have proven the Quran was not from God because on one hand it wanted its message to be delivered to all human beings and on the other wanted no communication between people who supported it and those who opposed it. This shows the Quran is not a human work because humans when they are angry with each other shut all the doors and windows to each other till one of the sides realises they cannot exist that way or without the others. The Quran does not stop Muslims from some measures against nonMuslims for the time being at times between themselves and hostile parties but only so far as hostility lasts but even then window for diplomacy remains open. No complete shutdown at any time because message must be delivered at all times. It is the message that can bring the sides together once delivered effectively. The other point made here is never to open the door fully that Muslims are swamped by nonMuslims. The reason is not discrimination against nonMuslims but the capacity of Muslim administration to help incomers. You get people in as much as you can help and then shut the door till you have absorbed them and then when you have created more capacity to absorb more people bring in more. As incomers become integrated properly room becomes wider and wider and more and more people can be invited. This idea was neglected by earlier generations and that is why it brought the Islamic state to an end within a few generations after the death of the messenger of Allah. Islamic state was flooded with people and state mechanism to deal with it broken down and vested interest parties from within then took over and so deen of Islam was side lined. After that ummah was taken over by imperialism and that is the way things remained and Islam was turned into a mere religion that had nothing to do with state affairs. However, the imperialist forces could not change the Quranic text but they were able to add their own information into Hadith works and where that failed them they brought in mullahs to add false reports into Hadith books and formed false laws in the name of Allah and his messenger in form of books Fiqh. The main thing that happened was reinterpretation of Islamic texts as religious texts rather than as text of DEEN. There came about revivalist movements but due to lack of broad based support they all failed and are still failing. The main reason is lack of proper understanding of the Quranic message and also lack of ability of ummah to educate its masses. What people need to realise is that it is impossible to suppress the message within the Quran as a book of DEEN. When anyone tries to present Islam as a religion he is faced with so many verses in the Quran that make very wrong sense in that context or make such sense that makes Islam a very dangerous religion. This is what Muslim imperialist used as a tool to expand their empires and gave bad name to deen of Islam. This is what is attacked from all sides by nonMuslims today to embarrass Muslims. Muslims who follow Islam as a religion are therefore stuck for answers for nonMuslim criticism. However, Islam as a deen is gradually making progress. People are beginning to wake up to reality that Islam is not a religion but ADDEEN. This revival came about through Sir Syed Ahmed Khan in India. Later he was followed by many others including another great Muslim thinker Dr Muhammad Iqbal who moved Muhammad Ali Jinnah for creating an Islamic state which he brought about in form of Pakistan with assistance of Ghulam Ahmed Parwez as a scholar of the Quranic message at the time. However, Pakistan is still waiting to be that state which was envisaged by Dr Iqbal because masses were not yet educated about Islam as addeen. Syed Abul Ala Modoodi worked hard in spreading the idea of Islam as addeen but the idea was not accepted by uneducated masses who were used to make belief based Islam. Also the creator of Pakistan hardly lived for another year and the people who took over Pakistan were not that familiar with what Islam meant as ADDEEN. Most people have not even learned the reason for creation of Pakistan. It was not created to break up India but to gain a place and space to implement Islam as ADDEEN to bring before people a way of life in reality that will give them great future. Unfortunately all parties with vested interest in order to save money based imperialism conspired against Pakistan and that is the main reason in delay of implementation of proper Islam in Pakistan. The question is, how the vested interest parties conspired against ideology of Pakistan? They supported secularism based democracy on one hand and Islam as religion on the other. A very old tried and tested way of keeping God out of business of mankind ie division of power between state and religion. Muslims so far have not educated themselves about it so they have become terribly confused. Some support secularism based democracy not realising that that is recipe for use and abuse of individuals and states at hand of individuals and states on basis of money power. The very thing the Quran warns against in each and every main Surah. As soon as people are divided into secular and religious ideologies, stage is set for keeping people fighting with each other over nonissues. This gives free hand to rulers and mullahs and money lenders to keep masses ignorant in the name of God and use and abuse them at will. The haves and the have nots gap is on the increase and time is coming when poverty will reach its peak and that will topple the system once and for all. Time is coming when politicians, mullahs and money lenders will face serious reaction from masses unless they repent and reform and make the world worth living in for all human beings instead of promoting divisions between people. What people need to realise is that secularism and religion both are anti Islam. This is why secularism is called LAADINIYAT not LAAMAZHABIYAT. Secularism and religion are two sides of the very same coin. One cannot exist without the other. Islam therefore is anti secularism and anti religion. Mullahs are either simple minded or stupid beyond belief with vested interests because they are either spreading Islam as a religion instead of Islam as a DEEN out of pure ignorance or out of their extreme stupidity having vested interests in doing so. They are selling ummah to best bidders for their personal gains and masses are playing dumb as if they are domesticated animals of mullahs not using their God given brains and senses. Pakistan was not created to be enemy of humanity but to get humanity out of rivalries and animosities, hatred and wars to lead mankind into life of unity, peace, progress and prosperity along the guidelines of the Quran. The false propaganda against Quran, Islam, Pakistan and Muslims has so for prevented the actual message of the Quran from getting through to masses in the world. It is because most of the powerful media is controlled by people with vested interests just like most of the masses are controlled by various mechanisms by rulers, mullahs and money lenders. However, this situation cannot last forever and people are bound to wake up and rebel against all this nonsense in the name of God and humanity. 30] Surely your Creator and Sustainer gives food for thought and food for nourishment in abundance to a people who accept His program and work according it because that is what He has set-up systems and laws for as a measures. This is how he shows to mankind that He is fully aware of His subjects regarding their motives and actions. 31] So do not kill potential of development and growth in your future generations through doctored indoctrination through fear of becoming equal to each other. It is We who fulfil all needs of all of them and all of you through Our provided sustenance and program. Surely killing potential in them for development is a grossly destructive thing to do. Word IMLAAQ is from root MEEM, LAAM and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is a heavy smooth surface log that is pulled along to even out the soil leaving no lows and highs. Also something that can help even out a surface or a landscape, something that can be used as tool or measure or measuring standard to even out ideological or physical differences eg social, political or economic differences, to smooth the way for something or someone, a hard stone, a person totally overwhelmed or humble by his situation or circumstances, lack of wealth or needs of livelihood, water or something like water in some way in property or behaviour, ox-goad or something like ox-goad in some way, monkey or something like monkey in some way, something that common between water and ox-goad and monkey in property or quality or behaviour, inadequacy, not having enough of something that is needed, poverty, lack of information or education, poverty of knowledge, lack of necessities of life, solid rock, to flatter, to become impoverished, to become destitute, to erase, to wipe out, to level up etc etc. This verse is connecting rulers, money lenders and mullahs with all harmful and destructive things that happen in human society due to people themselves because these are the people behind each and every damage and destruction. The motive behind all this is their idea of being the dominant person and the only way to that is undermining of others and since the guidance of Allah stands in their way they try to deal with it through mullahs who on their behalf misinterpret and misrepresent the message of Allah giving them a way to bypass the guidance or even use it as a tool against masses to control them in the very name of Allah. It is because they tell people Allah has predestined for some to be rich and for others to be poor so blame Allah if you must if you are poor or ignorant or whatever is lacking in you and do not blame us we are still doing whatever we can despite Allah not being helpful to you. This is how they make fools of people through so called their charitable works. This is condemned by Allah because all things and people belong to Allah alone and he has told people that he has made some differences in people but he also tells them why he made those differences ie so that people do things for each other and not use what Allah has given them to undermine those who lack certain things. It is because those who have advantages use those advantages against the advice of Allah that is why such people are condemnable and are condemned. People who have advantages and use them for well being of others are praised by Allah in the Quran. Negative competition and rivalry is condemned and positive cooperation is praised because working together as team helps mankind progress and prosper where animosity and hatred between only harms and destroys humanity and holds it back from making real good progress. This is how by undermining each other people kill each other’s potential and appetite for development therefore instead of wishing for life many people in the world wish to be dead just because some people in the world are making life hell for so many. Then the very same people who are busy using and abusing others boast for setting up charities for the less fortunate when it was forbidden for them to do things this way in the first place because it was made clear this will be the end result. 32] That is why you the mankind should never even think about distorting Our program through adulteration with other programs as ways of life that are harmful and destructive because that will result in worst way of life for you to live by. Word ZINAA is from root ZAA, NOON and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is add something into something that is pure which makes the pure thing impure. Also to mix up separate things that are supposed to be kept separate, adulterate, adultery, fornication, sex without or outside marriage, to attribute falsehood to message of Allah, to join or mix falsehood with deen of Allah and present the whole thing as deen or message of Allah, to put oneself in difficult position, to be in a tight place, to be narrow, tool, weapon, instrument, fish, hand, power, authority, something like a tool in property or quality or use or behaviour, something like a fish in quality or character or behaviour, something like hand in property or characteristic or behaviour or use, to present an alternative way of life in opposition to way of life advised by Allah, resistance, opposition, mixing, tunnel vision, impurity, narrow point of view, corruption, contamination, something that is narrow or limited in some sense etc etc. One has to pay attention here to these verses as to what the Quran is talking about. It is talking about the clash between two opposing ways of life. The way of life based on personal gains at the expense of each other and the way of life advised by Allah that leads to formation of a proper human community. The Quran makes it absolutely clear why people try to avoid Islamic way of life ie because it turns all people into a single family and family has its work cut out as responsibilities towards each other so those who want to be free of all bounds do not like the way of life that leads people to unity, peace, progress and prosperity. These people have harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours for a community based life. It is because they are takers only not givers. It is because some people have natural advantage over others in some respect so they do not want to share with others whatever they can produce even though they could not have done it unless the support they needed was in put in place for them by Allah to begin with. This is why they try to mix truth with falsehood to justify their actions in the eyes of humanity. This is where religions come from. Religions give such people go ahead for these people in the name of God. This is why secularism and religion work together. You use and abuse mankind at grand scale and get what you have and then contribute a little as charity and be satisfied that you have done your bit for the good of humanity. Mullahs are happy to push charity concept in the name of God even though it is nowhere to be found in the Quran because it says, produce whatever you can as per true capacity and then spend whatever is over and above your essential needs as compared to needs of the rest of human community. The Quran is a community building program and you cannot build communities on charities. In fact charities damage and destroy communities in two ways a)rich get richer by using and abusing the rest and this oppresses and suppresses individuals with great future potentials for development and therefore lets go to waste a considerable manpower and b)it encourages begging and living on others rather than one doing things to contribute to human society whatever one can as per one’s true capacity. This is how useful people fail to see daylight and useless people are created that are burden upon themselves and others. The result is a terrible state of instability and insecurity which is an embarrassment for humanity. The Quranic program is therefore a very balanced program and it will prove so when it is understood properly and adopted by humanity in practice just as it proves itself on paper as a plan for united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous life for humanity if one studies it properly. Coming to false interpretations of these verses the questions are very simple, if you have a community spirited people bound in brotherhood working hard for betterment of each other, how will they commit adultery? How will they end up killing their children out of fear of poverty? How will they end up neglecting their own parents when they will be ensuring good life for all other people in their community? Mullahs need to be asked some serious but simple questions to see their lack of proper knowledge about Quran based deen of Islam. One has to wonder at the miles long titles mullahs give to each other. It shows how much they love being masters of others on basis of false reputation they have created for each other just like politicians and money lenders. Most people do things wrong when they are pressurised to do wrong things by wrong social set-ups, systems and laws. Only few people do wrong with harmful and destructive mindset, attitude and behaviour but they are enough to cause worldwide phenomenon. So it is time to break this chain and free mankind from its bound ie the phenomenon of secularism and religion. It will be good idea to let masses learn deen of Islam properly and work for its proper implementation so that humanity could live in peace through unity and make full speed progress and prosper. 33] That is why you should never try to restrict anyone from showing full potential for development in a person in any way because Allah has strictly forbidden it unless it is for reason of consistency in the proper human community. Yet if anyone wrongfully oppresses or suppresses anyone to prevent anyone from trying to show one’s full potential then We grant the right to his supporters and helpers to support and help him overcome that oppression or suppression so let not the proper human community fail in carrying out the requirements for fulfilment of justice properly in case of any kind of oppression or suppression. Surely such a one is supported by Our rule of law. Word QATL is from root QAAF, TAA and LAAM and as been explained already it does not mean killing only but also defeat, destruction, fight, to prevent something or someone from progressing or developing any further. The Quran simply points out some wrongs and rights or dos and don’ts for general guidance with reasons to give human community basis for constitution and law formation so that proper human community when it comes about has the basis to form a constitution and laws based upon that for the stated goals in order to fulfil the given program. The Quran does not forbid things but having things and using them in a harmful or destructive way as explained already in detail. If things were forbidden by the Quran then they could not be had or used in any way ie forbidden means forbidden and that is it. 34] Therefore you the community should never handle the fruits of your labours for fulfilling the needs of the individuals in the community other than for the purpose of making their existence blissful, dignified and secure so that each of the individuals in the proper human community could develop and grow to his full potential and that is the standard to which people put in place to serve community must be held accountable to through their oath of undertaking their official duty, surely people put in place to serve proper human community should be held to account for what they promise and agree to deliver. The community set-up is a very fragile thing and needs constant attention because little wrong things happening in the community could one day lead to its destruction through negligence and uncaring mindset, attitude and behaviour. There is no community spirit if people take sides and start treating each other as closely related and distant people. Each and every person in the community deserves treatment with all due respect and all must hold to account anyone who does anything wrong to anyone without any fear or favour. If this base that is provided by the Quran is lost then all sorts of wrong things will start happening in the proper human community and soon the community will be no more and it will become replaced with a populace that is full of divisions, rivalries and animosities, which will in time lead to hatred and rage thereby to fights and wars between the people who used to be the very same community or family etc. Having a proper standard for a proper human community is not good in itself if it is not understood or used properly by human beings. This is why the need for setting up things properly by having a system in place by putting in place proper structures, procedures and practices for proper human society. Not only that but each and every person in society has to be made aware of what any institution is there for and how it is set-up and works and what the public should expect from it and people working in it to deliver to the public. Any failures of any sort should be known by people responsible through effective monitoring system in place so that they are remedied without any unnecessary delay. All public needs to know about any office or its official must be displayed at the gate of the office. This way each person will know which department of any institution is responsible for what as well as which officer is responsible for doing what in that office. No wonder corruption cannot be possible in any such society even if any individuals were hell bent on trying to corrupt such a society. Although the Quran allows no wrong doing but if anyone is caught committing any crime it leaves it to proper human community itself to set up punishment fit for the crime that keeps the community safe and secure. So people could be let off by a warning as well as could be executed by way of death penalty. All depends on how the proper human community decides things for a period of time and can change things to suit its itself as situations and circumstances demand. Fixed penalties would have created problems because then if anyone did anything wrong regardless deliberately or through human error all will have been punished the same way. The idea is very similar to the way things are forbidden to have or to do because they could cause harm or destruction to society. This is why mere wrong actions are not punishable by themselves but motives, reasons, situation and circumstances etc are also taken into account. This is yet another proof the Quran is word of Allah because people could not be this clever to cover all aspects of looking at all things. Such a comprehensive approach could only and only come from someone with brain and senses much more powerful than human beings. 35] So follow the proper set up measures faithfully when you have to judge things by Our standard that is firmly founded upon proper balance for needs of mankind and their faithful fulfilment by them. This is the way of life to live by that can lead mankind to beautiful existence and it will prove to be the best to the very end. Another great point is made in this verse as to why the way of life advised by Allah is beautiful for mankind to live by. It is because it is balanced on basis of what people need and how they should go about fulfilling those needs through all ways and means provided by Allah and that is called proper use of provision and sustenance. This is why if people will follow guidance of Allah properly by organising and regulating themselves as a proper human community then they will end up a blissful, dignified and secure existence. If they will not then life of hell will never be far away from them. So it is up to people themselves what sort of world they want to bring about for themselves and their future generations. It is always a very good idea that people should to leave the world in better hands and state of existence than got it when they came into this world. 36] Therefore you should never support anyone or anything about which you have no firm knowledge because ability of hearing and capacity of understanding as well as faculty of thinking all of these should be put to proper use for their set purpose as you are held accountable for their use. This verse is very powerful in the sense that it makes clear for mankind what Allah expects of people in sense of their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours after providing people with brains, senses and bodies full of potential to be a great people worthy of their good name. 37] This is why you should not try to take over the world through ignorance and arrogance because you cannot control the world through power of falsehood nor can you thereby influence the minds of masses for very long. Word TAMSHI is from root MEEM, SHEEN and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is spread. Other meanings of this root are stretch, walk, backbite, spread rumours, slander, prosper, control, cattle, multiply, proceed, water, tooth, hand etc etc. Word MARAHAA is from root MEEM, RAA and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is inflation. Other meanings are joy, arrogance, mirth, resonating, playful, precise bow, active, light hearted, intoxicating, ungrateful, protruding shoots, water, head, fence etc etc. Word TAKHRIQ is from root KHAA, RAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is defect. Other meaning of this root are hole, break, disconnect, destroy, cut off, perforation, rag, lie, foolishness, confusion, ignorance, invention, feign, abyss, moving hand, head, monkey etc etc. As explained already, Arabic is a root based language and roots are sets of letters and letters were originally meaningful words used for concrete realities both in sense of what things were and what they did or were used for and later each time they were compared for their expanded or others meanings to their original concepts therefore the idea of similitude or figure of speech ie if the word is not used for actual thing or what it does etc then it is for likeness of the very same thing in total or in part. This is why each word used in the Quran is full of many different meanings even though I have only listed a few in each case just to draw attention to this aspect of the Quranic language. It is of vital importance for proper understanding of the Quranic text that people understand the language because it is the very first reference point for the proper context of the text of Quran. It is due to lack of this sense of context that people fail to understand the text of the Quran and claim it is just a collection of random verses that have no connection to each other. What people need to ask themselves is, were the universe there before they were born into it? Of course it was. Did they know that everything in it was in place as soon as they were born? No, it took people time to figure out things after a very long period of study of the universe. The fact is the universe made no sense and it all seemed random till we figured it out that it is very well interconnected and works as a single complete thing. Likewise when we open up any book the very first time it makes us no sense till we go through with it and figure out things in it for ourselves. Likewise the Quran does not make any sense to us till we study it thoroughly and arrive at some conclusion about it properly. This means we need to know what each and every word used in the Quran means before we could understand it. Not only that but the Quran also talks about a lot of things and if we have no idea about those things then merely knowing words will give us no sense what those things actually are. For example, the Quran talks about human beings in detail but have we studied human beings in detail to know what the Quran means when it talks about human beings? If we have a book that explains to us what a computer is, will we know what it is talking about without ever knowing what a computer is? So merely knowing a language is not enough but words have meanings and those meanings make no sense till have come to know what they mean by actually studying those things. This is why the meaning of words used in the Quran will not come clear to us till we reach the stage in learning things the Quran talks about. If a person has written a book about a country where you have never been therefore you are not aware of things, could you understanding what the book is talking about? So if the Quran talks about a human society or politics or economics etc etc what can those people make of its statement who have no clue what society is, what politics are or what economy is? This is why the contexts of the Quranic statements are dependent upon many different factors and unless and until one has fair idea of these things upon contexts of which proper understanding of the Quranic text depends are understood first, the verses of the Quran are not going to be anything g more than meaningless words for person. This is why as we learn more and more in life generation after generation, more and more things in the Quran will start making better and better sense to us. So what appears merely a collection of random verses to untrained eye becomes highly sensible explanation of things after we become properly trained and education and are able to use our skills to make sense of things. Had we not bothered making sense of things in the universe by trying to interconnect them ourselves they will not have made any sense to us as well just as they did not to our long ago ancestors who has not yet learned how to make sense of things. This also shows where rulers, money lenders, mullahs their touts and supporters stand in this regard. They are al ignorant as each other otherwise they could not have divided human population the way they have that people are constantly killing each other thanks to their leadership of society and where they are leading humanity. This is why masses need to wake up and learn the Quran in order to get for themselves the world they need and want to get out of this mess the humanity is in. 38] All of the stated prohibitions are unlawful for you to get involved in because they are seriously harmful and destructive for you the human community and are obstacle in your way of progress and development in sight of your Creator and Sustainer. 39] This is only a part of the wisdom which your Creator and Sustainer has revealed for you. So take not anyone as ruler other than Allah lest you end up in hell of your own making, full of accusations against each other and rejected by each other stuck in the mess of your own making. 40] Think about it, how could your Creator and Sustainer provide you the mankind with fundamental goals and guidelines as basis for living your lives yet choose for implementation of His program the missionaries who were dumb and cowards? Surely you are expressing a dreadful error in your judgement by not implementing His provided program for your blissful, dignified and secure existence. 41] Surely We have explained things in this Quran in different ways so that they could observe things and think them through thoroughly for learn sense yet it has only added to their aversion and misuse of Our provisions. Word SARRAF is from root SWAAD, RAA and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to turn something over or around. Also to turn back, to flip over, to toss and turn, to explain something in different ways, to explain something with help of different examples, to change something itself or to replace it with something else, to change direction of something, to move something from its place using another thing to take its place, plant, fishing hook, head, chief, mouth, papyrus, something pure, unadulterated, pure silver, to stop, taster or tester of something to see if it is free of impurities or not, to move some danger away from someone, to do something again and again with some alteration etc etc. No matter how one explains things on basis of reality, the ignorant and mystery ridden folk just look for mysteries to remain confused instead of trying to reason things out for themselves to get out of confusion. They want their worldly problems solved yet they do not want to learn ways based on reality to do that and instead run to deceiving people who pretend to have supernatural powers to solve their real world problems magically. They end up giving them whatever little they have freely thinking they are pleasing Allah by doing that. From start of their life to finish they never witness any demonstration of supernatural power by anyone yet they do not think about it to get out of their confusion. In short they do not do things the way they should be done instead they try to do them the way they cannot be done so their needs and desires remain unfulfilled. Each day that comes brings them new troubles and difficulties or hardships and all because they carry on doing things regardless of any goals and guidelines and whether they are getting nearer or farther away from their goals. 42] Say, you the mankind should think about it that if there were really other rulers of this universe along with Allah as the rulers, money lenders and priests claim then they will have certainly found a way to undermine the claims of sole rulership of Allah to the throne of this universe. In this verse people are told that if there were other Gods than Allah then why they will not challenge Allah on his claims that there are no other Gods. Since Allah denies their existence so he is setting up a challenge for them to come and prove themselves by way of alternative books to the Quran . The fight between Gods ought to affect universal set-up because each God will try and take over what other has due to Allah challenging their existence. So the idea that anyone or anything can intervene in any way outside the wishes or plan of Allah is a wrong way to think. Even Allah himself does not contravene his set out plan never mind anyone else or anything else. Since only the Quran is there the way it is so it is a clear proof that no other God has any claim to ownership or rulership or sovereignty of this universe other than Allah. 43] He alone is constantly at work through His set-up systems and laws in the universe so He is far greater than petty things they say about Him to try and undermine His greatness. 44] Strive very hard for fulfilment of His program all the numerous far away galaxies as well as this galaxy and whatever is contained within them. There is not a single thing but reflects His glory its own way though you are not even bothered to understand the ways they manifest His sovereignty but He has surely been persistent protector of humanity through His blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program and set-up systems and laws. 45] For the reason that people do not pay attention to understanding of things that can help them understand Our message when you proclaim the Quran among the people, We let remain this as a barrier between you and the chiefs and their blind supporters who do not intend to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind for their better future. This verse explains why people do not understand the Quranic message ie they do not become self aware using their brains and senses nor learn about other things that help them learn how to make sense of things and use them so when they listen to the Quran they have no sense to make sense of it. It is because to understand higher level of things one needs to have needed lower level sense already. This is why kids start school from a primary level and keep rising in their learning of things till they have their doctorates. So before one can understand the Quran one has to have sense needed to understand the Quran as explained in detail already. 46] That is how We let this their self created barrier be an obstacle for their minds therefore they fail to understand the message properly because in their hearing of the message is a defect to begin with, so when you refer to your Creator and Sustainer through the Quran about His program for Oneness of the human community under His rule they turn their backs in disgust. This verse is clarifying the point that people who do not make themselves widely aware of things do not like the Quranic message. They only see that the Quran tells them give up all you have for the well being of others and go produce more of it. They do not see that those others are also individuals themselves because if one is busy for others to ensure they do well, they in turn are supposed to do the very same so where is the problem? The Quran talks in context of a proper human community in which all involved care for well being of each other. This is how a community becomes great. People cannot build such a community by robbing each other as much they can and any way they can. That will be a recipe for inflicting community with a huge disaster. 47] That is how We make obvious for you how the harmful and destructive leaders and their supporters come to listen to you proclaiming the Quran when they come to listen to you and We also make you aware as to what they say about you when they converse with each other in private after hearing the message you convey to them. These opponents of Our program say to one another, surely you are listening to a man who is plotting some secret plan against us. Whenever anyone talks sense and thinks better for his human community he is always accused of conspiracy by the very leaders of people whose lot he wishes to better. It is because the leadership knows if the message succeeds their domination and undermining others will come to an end. However it is for the masses to realise that the message will really work wonders for them. With massive support any leadership could be brought down that proves harmful and destructive for mankind. However to get through to masses is a big problem because of their ignorance and because education takes its time. Nonetheless there are no easy solutions. Once masses become educated then they come to realise who is working for their well being and who is really messing up things for them. The mission of final messenger was very successful, which was basically an education based revolution. Of course wars also had be fought because when leadership of the time saw power slipping through its fingers it resorted to use of force and that force had to be met with force. The Quran gives people level playing field, which means if Muslims are attacked then they must fight back or they will be wiped out as sitting ducks. Only those people will attack Muslims who stand to lose if they did not. This is why dominant people always divided masses on basis of kingdom and religion and never built educational institutions to keep masses ignorant as far as it was in their power but nature is a set-up system that works according to laws of Allah who has put them in place to make his plan fulfilled. This is how humanity has arrived where it is today despite all effort by its opponents. 48] See what sort of conclusion the leaders draw from the message you tell them? They surely distort the purpose of the message as they are not bothered with proper understanding and following of the message to live their lives the proper way. 49] Yet some of them say that as a people we have become totally disintegrated and decomposed by internal warfare so can we yet become a community again that is worthy of name? 50] Tell them, yes you people can be transformed into a proper human community worthy of name due to the Quranic foundation even if you have become many groups due to having no solid criterion as a solid foundation, 51] or constructive mannerism regarding which there is gross lack of sense in your minds. They further say, who is there to restore us to blissful, dignified and secure existence? Say, the One Who raised you the mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence originally the first time. Yet they turn their heads towards you and ask, if what you tell us is really going to happen then tell us when will this happen? Say, it can happen quite soon but only if you accept the program and work very hard towards it goals. The Quran is very bold in its statements regarding its program, goals, guidelines, constitution and laws as well as the set-up systems and laws in the universe. However the condition is acceptance of its message by mankind and their faithful following of its guidance ie no pain no gain. A clear message for mankind that your prayers mean absolutely nothing at all because Allah does not change his mind or his plan for this world and the people in it. If people want to know anything about Allah and his plan, the message is fully explained in the Quran so people should get to know it instead of following wrong ideas they are given by rulers, money lenders and mullahs. 52] It can happen the day you are called upon to install and implement the program of Allah in the land for the well being of mankind and you respond by establishing His sovereignty in the land and that is how you will come to realise you have been living but very limited lives. No matter what well off people think about how great their lives are as they are yet if they will properly understand and accept as well as properly follow the guidance of Allah, they will come to see that the lives they thought were great will still look very limited in comparison to life that will be based upon guidance of Allah. Here the Quran put a challenge to mankind that no matter how best they live in the world they cannot beat the life that will come about if people followed guidance of Allah. 53] So tell supporters of My program that they should say to each other to do what leads to life that is beautiful. Surely the harmful and destructive leadership that is opponent of My mission always looks for chances to stirs up troubles among them. The fact is, the leadership that rejects and opposes My guidance is self evidently enemy of mankind. Here it is made clear that deen of Allah advises people to do things that ensure well being of mankind therefore anyone who opposes well being of mankind is in fact opposing deen of Allah so people have a clear cut criterion who they should consider a friend of humanity and who they should consider its enemy ie those who are hell bent on harming and destroying humanity for their personal gains through using and abusing others. 54] Your Creator and Sustainer makes all this obvious for you the mankind out of His concern for your well being so that if any of you people wish, you could follow His program and end up in blissful, dignified and secure life or if any of you choose, you could stay away from His program and end up in life of hell by your own making. It is because We have not sent you O messenger to be a ruler over them. In this verse it is made very clear that Allah has sent his guidance for people so that by choice they could follow or reject it and face the consequences as explained. The last part of this verse is very important because it tells us that Allah wants mankind to become organised into a proper human community in such a way that they end up being a self regulated community that needs no ruler but only rule of law ie people are supposed to do things out of personal consciousness of responsibilities towards each other as explained in form of law. In other words the Quran wants people to become a law abiding society which takes the law as the supreme force to abide by. When in a community each person becomes educated enough that one becomes duty conscious as a part of a community and carries it out faithfully to the best of one’s ability according to the law, the society become self regulated just like the rest of the universe wherein each and everything works like a clockwork. So the idea that people need a person to rule over them to keep them under control is not what the Quran considers the ideal way of life otherwise Allah could not have said again and again that he did not send his messenger to rule over people to keep them right. It is because it is not possible for any particular person to keep others right because each person is limited by his limits as a human being. No one can be with everyone twenty four hours a day to keep an eye on them, so each person has to be regulated by oneself if human society is to function properly. This means people need to educate themselves and each other to this degree of knowledge and that this is what real education is all about in the context of the Quran. 55] This is why your Creator and Sustainer makes you the mankind aware of all that is in the heavens and the earth and that is why We raised the prophets some with more abilities than the others and that is the reason We gave David the Zaboor to abide by. This verse explains why Allah revealed the messages for mankind ie to explained things through them so that people become aware of things in the universe through their discoveries and make proper use of them. Even the messengers sent by Allah had varying abilities compared to each other and likewise each person is different from others and people are only expected to do what they are capable of provided they use their abilities to their full potential. The Quran again and again tells mankind they are created with different abilities therefore some have advantages over other in one sense or the other but all must work together and complement each other so that mankind could reach their full potential and achieve the maximum possible for them. The main point is, people should never use their advantages against each other or they will live to regret it in this world as well as in world to come. However, should people live as told then they will get what they are promised in here as well as in hereafter ie a blissful, dignified and secure life. 56] Say, rely all you like upon rule of law of those whom you take for rulers other than Allah but the truth is they have no power to remove your troubles, nor even the sense to comprehend them and change things for the better for you. The rulers people take or accept for themselves can never free them from life full of troubles because they rule people for putting them into all sorts of troubles for personal gains to begin with. If they did not do this why will they need to become rulers in the first place? Why will they use social and political tricks and mechanisms to try to bring people under their control? Why will they use money or other such tricks and mechanisms to try to bring people under their control? Why will they use scriptures to use religious tricks and mechanisms for bringing masses under their control? If they truly had well being of humanity at their heart, they will have become a people who serve people and they will have used their knowhow and technology or all that was at their disposal to take care of human beings not against them. The very thought of ruling people is based upon use and abuse of people so expecting anything else of such people can only be foolishness. Things do what they are there for so people who are there to rule others how sensible is it to expect that they will ever serve humanity? This is like expecting a cow not to eat grass because rulers, money lenders and mullahs depend on others for their living by robbing them of fruits of their labour the way it hurts others very badly. For serving mankind people have to be of mindset, attitude and behaviour that help remove problems of mankind not cause them or increase them. This is how actions of people speak louder than their words and people who have learned sense can see who is thinking and doing things for ensuring well being of humanity and who is working against it. 57] Those upon whom the masses rely for removal of their problems as their rulers they themselves are unknowingly struggling towards a way of life that is according to the way of life advised by their Creator and Sustainer not knowing which of them is closer to His advised way of life for a blissful, dignified and secure existence because they worry that if they failed in following His program then they themselves will remain in life of hell of their own making. Surely the painful suffering your Creator and Sustainer warned you against is something to take serious notice of. Word YABTAGHOON is from root BAA, GHAIN and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to go overboard. Also tent, house, household, something that keeps things together, hand, authority, power, control, container, limit, heavy rain that results in floods by breaking river banks or dams or due to over flowing, to go after something, to seek something out of need or jealousy or envy, to seek something that is hidden, to try to search out something not known, to explore or look for clues for something for some reason, something that has turn useless or has gone off or bad, a shoot, an unripe fruit, to go after, to wish for, to go over the limits, to transgress, to facilitate, to accommodate, to earn one’s living, to strive, a mid, a slave girl, to take control over something or become under control of something, to commit adultery, to practice prostitution, to violate limits, to act outrageously, to infringe, to encroach upon, to desire or want, to be after something, to endeavour, to cause something to be, to be worthy of, to be fitting and proper, to be possible, to be attainable, to admit something, tyranny, outrageous behaviour, to go beyond the acceptable norm, to take away right of others, unchaste, to pursue, to try to uncover or discover something etc etc. This verse tells us that even though all people are looking for better life and are unknowingly struggling towards that end yet they do not actively seek guidance through revelation of Allah so they waste their lives by living useless lives which leave them in life of hell by their own making. Nothing good is delivered to anyone properly unless people make efforts for learning and doing things properly otherwise they carry on suffering painfully due to set-up systems and laws of Allah that deliver to them what they deserve as crowd of senseless people. Here the Quran is explaining how laws of nature work and how nations rise and fall, survive or perish through competing against each other if they are not sensible enough to become a proper human community under guidance of Allah. 58] There is not a kingdom wherein rulers, money lenders and priests worked against Our guidance but We let it destroy itself by making it face the uprising by its masses or let it suffer the terrible agony it brought upon itself as a result of its own thoughts and actions against each other, that is what has been made very clear in Our every scripture. 59] Because nothing stopped us from sending Our revelations for guidance of mankind, not even the opposing mindset, attitude and behaviour of their past generations who denied them. We sent the supporting program for the people of Thamud to open their eyes as to how they should live but they worked against it inflicting harms and destructions upon each other. We do not send Our revelations but for the reason that people pay attention to them and learn to abide by them in order to save themselves from their self created troubles and to lead them to unity, peace, progress and prosperity. 60] For that reason We told you people also that program of your Creator and Sustainer addresses all needs and wants of mankind comprehensively therefore there is no escape for them from the plan of Allah for them. We did not make Our vision clear in the Quran about the brilliant future of mankind which We shared with you but for the reason that mankind struggle toward it as a goal as opposed to following harmful and destructive way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other that leads away from blissful, dignified and secure existence. We drew their attention to Our this plan for their well being yet they only increased in their rejection and opposition to it due to their own remaining ignorant and becoming arrogant by their lack of interest in learning and understanding things properly. In this verse words SHAJARATAL MALOONAH are used which is not a tree but a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other that is harmful and destructive for mankind which takes people away from SHAJARATAL TAIYBAH ie way of life that helps mankind develop to their full potential. Good tree good fruit and bad tree bad fruit sort of thing or well founded tree bears fruit but unfounded tree does not because it has no roots to receive nourishment it needs to survive, develop and prosper. The way of life advised by Allah puts people on the proper course for building a proper human community but it is left up to mankind themselves to work according to it and see the benefits or not to work according to it and face the consequences. This is the philosophy behind Allah telling us stories of the past people to draw our attention to what has already happened in this world so that we could draw our own individual conclusions as to what is our future going to be like ie will we end up of those who turned their world into a small paradise as a proper human community or those who turned their worlds upside down and fell in hell hole dug by themselves? 61] This is why when We said through Adam to the chiefs and their people in the land, be consistent with Our guidance along with Adam, they all accepted save Iblees and his people. He said, why should I accept to be like him whom you have brought forth to serve others? Word ASJUDU is from root SEEN, JEEM and DAAL. Already explained but it also means tooth or something like tooth in some sense, camel or something like camel in some sense, hand or something like hand in some sense, to accept something as a leader or standard or way of doing something, to make one accept something as a leader or standard or way of doing something, to submit, to surrender, to be consistent, to become consistent with or measure up to something, to support something or someone, to join in, to be one of the group etc etc. Word AADAM is from root ALIF, DAAL and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is a being which has ability to develop and progress with time to become a creature worth the honourable name. Also bull or something like a bull in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, water or something like water in some sense. Stick, power, authority, control or controller or controlled, knowledge or knowledgeable, someone capable of fulfilling needs and wants, someone able to observe and learn and think and do things, a human being, the very first messenger of Allah to mankind, humanity, mankind, man or woman etc etc. Word KHALAQTA is from root KHAA, LAAM and QAAF. Already explained but it also means monkey or something like monkey in some sense, ox-goad or something like ox-goad in some sense, way of doing things, mannerism, conduct, behaviour, to evolve, bring forth, to give rise to, to cause, to carve, to model, to bring about, create, make, shape, mold etc etc. Word TEENAA is from root TWAA, YAA and NOON. Already explained but it also means mark, sign, standard, reference point, landmark, something that stands out in some sense for some purpose, to measure against something set as a standard, to reach a set standard, to set a standard, hand, power, authority, staff, stick, community, group, handle, something to hang onto, something to stick with, to hold onto something, a tool to mold something into some shape, to be flexible in some way to be molded into some shape, something not solid or rigid that does not accept alteration or change in its shape or form, fish, to slip, to be fly, to deceive, to be smooth, to be flexible, something delicate or in a finer form or shape, ink, inkpot, mud, earthen ware, something made from the earth like a pot, something molded into some shape in some way or sense, something that helps molds something into a shape, to even out the differences between things by way of mutual give and take, to remove unevenness or differences between things by way of setting up some mechanism, lowly people, down trodden, disadvantaged, weaklings, humanity, human nature etc etc This like verses in the Quran are talking about Allah revealing his guidance for people through a very first messenger so that people accept guidance and be one with each other and work towards the set goals according to the guidelines provided. Most of the chiefs of people at the time accepted the proposal but one particular chief did not go along because he did not like giving up his privileged position he had among his people. However because others accepted the idea he felt threatened and so he tried to get some allies in order to secure himself. This is what all the fight is about between Adam and Iblees and so one thing led to another and so gap kept on widening as human population grew from then on. This is how the world has become polarised that some people want to serve humanity by ensuring well being of each other the while some want to dominate each other by undermining each other due to being advantaged and disadvantaged. As explain already, the Quran explains the very reason why Allah created things the way he did so that the world could work properly and likewise he created people with so many natural differences so that people work together and serve Allah and humanity. Iblees and his ilk rather do things the ignorant and the arrogant way instead of the learned and the humble way. Just as so many human beings fail to understand the message in the Quran even today so, so many people failed in understanding the message prophet Adam put before them. In short ignorant and arrogant people do not like to work for the well being of humanity through helping each other as they should. They are only takers from the human community not its contributors unless something is forced out of them by the community and the circumstances or situations that arise as a result. This is why there are so many charitable organisations set-up by these people for fooling human beings to stay in power. This is why they spend all they can to ensure people remain ignorant, illiterate and uneducated so that they are unable to see through their tricks and mechanisms they have put in place to trap billions of people throughout the world. 62] He also said, what do You see is going to happen to this person whom You have honoured with revelation instead of me when he does not really deserve it because I am more capable than him? So should You give me time to work towards the day of uprising against him I will certainly bring his ideological following to see things my way with exception of a minority. Here Iblees in his ignorance and arrogance puts decision of Allah on the spot thinking in his mind Allah has made the wrong choice by choosing Adam as his messenger instead of Iblees. He proposes that to decided who is better if Allah gives him time to work against Adam he will succeed in defeating him by raising his people against him. 63] Allah said, you carry on with what you think, in time you and any who follow your way of life all of you are bound to face results of your own thoughts and actions in form of painful suffering, a fitting result for your terrible thoughts and actions against each other. 64] So trap whoever you can by your tricks and mechanisms to lead them to harm and destruction with your ideological lecturing and whatever force you can attack them with taking away their rights to fruits of their labour and of their future generations by promising them whatever you wish. However remember O mankind that harmful and destructive leadership can promise you nothing other than give you false assurances thereby false sense of security. 65] As for people who abide by My program to accomplish My set goals according to My guidelines, you cannot make fool of them in any way because they know you have no solid foundation to stand upon. That is because your Creator and Sustainer has set-up systems and laws to dispose off all affairs properly in order to ensure fulfilment of His plan. In the verses where the Quran talks about Adam, it talks about stages before birth of humans as a part of tree of life or as a part of humanity after the human species became as separate creatures in their own right having a separate identity as a species or about their birth process as human beings and in that context stages humanity goes through before birth and after conception as individuals. The same continues after the birth of a human till one grows up and becomes old and dies. The Quran this way covers all stages of human origin and development and death and then life after death. There are different ways of looking at life after death eg actual life after death or later life after the change comes about in a human population as regard way of life ie how people live before they adopt way of life advised by Allah and what changes come about after they adopt the way of life advised by Allah. So these like verses have complementary meanings ie the Quran could be talking about better future in this life as well as life in hereafter. As explained already in Arabic language prepositions can replace each other and that each preposition has various meanings in use. This is why ISJUDU LI AADAM does not only mean bow down to Adam but also accept along with Adam or to bow down to humanity ie work for the well being of humanity or serve humanity. Here Allah is telling leaders of tribes to ensure well being of mankind as a proper human community along with Adam. As explained already the Quranic verses have complementary meanings and that is what makes the word for word Quranic translation somewhat impossible. Hence verses need explanations rather than simple translations. Sometimes it is possible to put extra words within an interpretation of a verse but at other times extra explanations become inevitable otherwise the sense the actual Quranic text contains cannot be expressed in verse by verse interpretations. No matter what the complete sense of the text is only contained within the text of the Quran and no interpretation can fully express what the actual text contains. This is why the best things look the best only in their original forms and any deviations from their original form only make a mess of them. This is why this work or for that matter any other work on the Quran should never be taken for a replacement of the original. The purpose of this work is only to show that this book called AL-QUR-AAN is very much worth it to be studied in its original form by humanity. The Quran is not an outdated worthless human work that can be ignored or thrown in the dustbin of the history. To be able to answer questions about Deen of Islam one has to know the Quran properly and one cannot know the Quran properly till one has reasonable grasp over idea of origin of language, how it got its concepts therefore meanings. It is because the Quran was revealed in a particular human language at a particular time in written form as well as in form of a reading. No mullah has any idea about the origin of language, its development and progress and the relevant implications. This is why almost all translations of the Quran are mostly defective because they do not take into account the contexts of the Quranic text. Who can say anything for certain about anything if one has no idea what human language itself is? If anyone wants to make sense of the Quranic text one has to look for information outside the box in which mullahs have put this ummah for a very long time now. Which mullah do you need to go to for studying origin of language? All you need to do is learn any facts about any language from any people who are expert in knowing and teaching those facts about a language and they do not even have to be Muslims. In fact they can be atheists. Which mullah do you need to go to, to learn about realities of real world? All you need to do is go to people who observe real word realities and explore and carry out research works therefore discover things and inform people about them. It is a matter of fact that one cannot understand the Quran unless one knows facts about the human language and the language used for the Quran by Allah because it gives us foundational context of the Quranic text. It is due to having proper sense of human language that we are able to make sense of realities of our universe in which we are born. It is then that these realities of real world give us secondary foundational context to see what the message of the Quran may be if we are aware of them. If we do not know things about language or real world realities then we have no way of knowing what words are and what concepts are attached to them or what they actually mean and why. This is why the Quran puts emphasis on using our God given brains, senses, bodies and provided things including his revelation properly, otherwise people are nothing more than animals. In fact God himself labels them worse of all the animals such people as do not make use of his provisions properly. One has to ask oneself, why do we need guidance at all? It is because we do not know what to do or how to do it properly and a whole lot of other things. This is why this surah is names AL-ISRA ie the human journey to discovery of things. Only if one has sense of these contexts the context of the Quranic text within itself becomes important not otherwise. Once we have the understanding of the Quranic text in these contexts only then we have the context for things attributed to the messenger of Allah as criterion to see if they are true or false. Once we have all these things properly in their proper contexts we can see what people attribute to people is true or false because then we have the solid criterion to judge things by. Without such a clear guidance mankind will be lost forever. All this explanation shows that one does not need any mullah to explain anything at all because learning and doing things is common heritage of humanity. We can learn anything from anyone who knows it. However whatever we learn we have a duty to pass it on to others for ensuring well being of mankind in the name of its creator and sustainer. This is why when we were born knowing nothing at all, we were helped by already existing things which stimulated our senses and triggered our minds to pay attention to them and gradually our observation provided us with a store of information in our minds of which we made sense through using our ability to construct, deconstruct and reconstruct till we were able to make sense of things. That, of which we were able to make sense then helped us understand other things and so the process continues till we come to end of our lives. That is how having learned things about real world realities helped us make sense of revelations of Allah. This is why we can never be right in claiming we know the word of Allah without knowing things that help us understand things. This is why we can never be true to ourselves and our creator and sustainer till we accept the truth as it is as per our own findings. So people should avoiding following mullahs blindly particularly when they take us off the right track and try to put their invented nonsense in our minds in the name of Allah. The most important point people who claim to be Muslims need to be aware of is, Islam is a deen not a mazhab. The only people who accept Islam as mazhab are rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters. No messenger was sent by Allah but he worked for establishing deen of Allah not any mazhab. Mazhab is personal for individual but deen by its very nature demands a society or an association. The very idea that Allah sent messengers to guide mankind means that Allah wanted people to stick together for well being of each other as a starting point. This is why Allah created people into human relationships as interdependent so deen of Islam is a program for mankind for accomplishing certain goals stated in the Quran and there are also guidelines according to which these goals are to be achieved. The Quran is a foundation for a constitution and laws for forming a proper human community and bringing about a kingdom and maintaining it for proper development and progress of humanity so that it could thereafter accomplish other higher goals. This is why there is concept of ummah in deen of Islam as well as of a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. So people who do not accept Islam as a deen are not accepted Muslims by the Quran because they do not accept the fact that law of Allah is supreme so they do not live by rule of law of Allah as a proper human community and instead live by rule of law of people by accepting the concept of man has right to rule over another man. This concept is all about divisions in humanity due to which there are rivalries and animosities therefore hatred and wars. It is because a way of life whereby one man rules over another is based upon personal gains at the expense of each other as opposed to living for well being of each other as a proper human community according to guidance provided by Allah. This is what divides people into advantaged and disadvantaged or rich and poor or strong and weak groups etc etc. The reason that divide occurs is because people do not use their God given abilities and things as they should. Since they misuse each and everything provided by Allah they end up hurting each other instead of ensuring well being of each other. This is why Allah provided mankind with guidance and some people accept that guidance and support it while others reject and oppose it so mankind become divided into two camps a)Muslims and b)Kufaar. This leads to permanent struggle between people belonging to two main groups of people. Since people who work for well being of humanity do as told but their opponents do as they like therefore the human world is not the way it is supposed to be. Since there is constant struggle between two groups of people who are following opposite ways of life therefore people do what they think will ensure dominance of their way of life over any other way of life. From here begins all sorts of warfare between people to ensure their dominance over each other. So each time Allah sent any messenger with his guidance and he succeeded in bringing people within his reach under the jurisdiction of kingdom of Allah, soon the kingdom was swamped after the death of the messenger by those seeking better life and the followers of the messengers failed to cope with situations they created for themselves by opening the gates for outsider far too much. Once people within the kingdom became slack in implementing the deen of Allah properly and also let outsiders in, the kingdom turned into a chaotic place proving full of opportunities for ignorant, illiterate and uneducated people who then spread in the kingdom of Allah the very beliefs and rituals they were used to. This handed over perfect opportunities for imperialists to hatch so many conspiracies within the kingdom that it fell apart and became what it was not supposed to be ie an empire based upon personal gains at the expense of proper human community. This is the history told in the Quran if we interpret the stories related to messengers of Allah and the kingdoms they brought about. One cannot understand the Quran by mere random verses and their explanations by mullahs. For example, ask yourselves what happen to kingdom of prophet Sulaimaan that was brought about by prophet Dawoud or David? SHAITAAN is not a supernatural magical figurehead but leadership ie people who stand in opposition to guidance of Allah. SIHR does not mean magic the way mullahs tells us but merely covering up of actual thing or masking it with something else to make it appear as the real thing which it is not. There is nothing in the Quran about supernatural events other than the acts of creation and revelation. Make beliefs and useless rituals were invented and promoted by rulers, money lenders and mullahs to try to fool uneducated masses so that they could enslave them and keep them under their sway for use and abuse at their will. This is why people always conspired against the messengers of Allah and his missionaries in order to stop them from spreading the actual message of Allah which is for ensuring well being of mankind. When people will start looking at works of opponents of deen of Allah in that context all fights between people will start making sense as to who is doing what and why. In order to try and confuse people, some try their best to show deen of Islam is actually a man made thing. The question is, how do they do that? They do that by telling us all sorts of nonsense eg they tell us Islam is not a deen but a mazhab. This is most severe attack one can ever carry out against deen of Islam because merely by saying Islam is not a deen they are telling us people do not need guidance of Allah for knowing how they should live properly in this world. This idea therefore flies straight into the face of deen of Islam and its actual followers yet those who claim to be Muslims remain unaware of how damaging this idea of Islam being a mazhab means for humanity as a whole. It means fights between people can never come to an end ever because if people are allowed to live as they like by each other then there cannot be any way out of this personal gains based way of life at the expense of each other. Something people in position of power want the most to continue for as long as they can help it. This is why anyone who accepts Islam as a mazhab instead of deen is actually playing in hands of users and abusers of humanity. This is why it is a more dangerous way to attack Islam than actually attacking Muslims with dangerous weapons. It is because in this case one is telling people that harmful and destructive actions are good because they are ordered by Allah when the actual fact is Allah does not tell people to do anything that is useless or harmful for mankind. This is why people who have nothing at all to do with Allah and humanity support religions because they give them opportunities to carry on with whatever they are doing ie using and abusing mankind in the very name of Allah. This explanation should help people see why rulers, money lenders and mullahs do what they do and how they do it with help of their touts and supporters. It has been explained already how messengers and missionaries of deen of Allah learn and teach deen of Allah and that is why they end up creating a kingdom based upon deen of Allah. A clear proof that each and every person in the kingdom of Allah knows the book of Allah because otherwise people cannot bring about the kingdom according to the book. None can form an organisation or a kingdom nor can one regulate one without having some sort of law. Even the tribal people had tribal customs to live by and they taught these customs to their future generations. A clear proof that no population can live without some sort of common code of life no mater how simple or how complex and sophisticated. A clear proof that messengers of Allah also brought about proper communities and kingdoms as per revealed programs, constitutions and laws for accomplishing set out goals according to provided guidelines, so anyone who thinks Islam is not a deen but a mazhab is far far away from proper understanding of the message in the Quran. Likewise anyone who has little or no proper understanding of the Quran can ever understand anything else that is attributed to Allah or any of his messengers or any of his people. It is because if a solid foundation is not there then there is no criterion for judging anything else. The real world realities and revelations of Allah provide one with solid foundation that one can examine for oneself. That is the only base upon which one can and should build the proper human community. This is why one will be very foolish to leave the solid foundation aside and try to build a proper human community on foundation of personality cults which themselves are not based on anything solid at all. This is why when Allah declared prophet Ibraheem a good example to follow in following the commandments of Allah when Ibraheem asked for the same about his children from Allah, he was told very clearly that only those people can be followed who actually follow the rule of law of Allah. So the main thing is not following of Abraham but what he followed as his imaam ie guidance of Allah. Nowhere Allah points out anyone as an exemplary character in his entirety because even messengers of Allah are not free of human errors. People are only supposed to support messengers of Allah so far as they are doing anything by the book of Allah. Way of life of messengers of Allah was not set-up by themselves but was told to them by Allah and it was up to them to follow it faithfully and they did except where they ended up making odd mistakes due to being human beings. This is why all concepts that people have created around personalities in the name of deen of Islam are false. As soon as people will educate themselves properly about deen of Islam they will give up all their nonsense beliefs and useless rituals and start doing what the Quran actually requires of people to do. People who attack concept of deen of Islam only do so because they want to replace it with personality cults so that they could then use names of those people to add wrong things to deen of Islam and thereby get their way. This is why beliefs of certain people are taken as guaranty of true Islam whereas people are supposed to take the book of Allah as the criterion after it has been interpreted free of all contradictions as the book itself claims. Likewise when people opposing the book could not find any way to undermine the book of Allah they tried to attack the book by inventing other stories and mixing them up with existing stories about the prophets that were originally completely true in order to try to make them look credible. The same idea was expanded later in books of Fiqh ie jurisprudence. This is why people invented five schools of thought in the names of people none of whom told people to follow them. It were rulers, money lenders and mullahs who tried to move people away from the Quran by keeping them ignorant, illiterate and uneducated with backing of state machinery as is always the case when people in positions of power decide to use and abuse others at will. From all these explanations here and elsewhere it should be very clear for all who have sense that not only the Quran but all revelations sent by Allah were not only memorised by people but were also written down by them as well. This is why Allah did not start sending revelations till people had discovered reading and writing. Revelations of Allah only began when man was able to think at higher level ie man became self aware and aware of realities around him and sort guidance because he became a thinking human being. Story of Adam and his people told in the Quran is actually a true story but it has not been explained properly by ignorant mullahs because they are hardly that learned people. One can see how much self aware these people are never mind about their awareness about realities of real world. This is why anyone who thinks deen of Islam is that which is told by mullahs only exposes his own level of ignorance about deen of Islam. Word Quran does mean recitation but not just recitation as mullahs will have us believe. Word QUR-AAN comes from root QAAF, RAA and ALIF. This root revolves around concept of purposeful collection or gathering of something. Letter QAAF means monkey or anything like a monkey in some sense, letter RAA means head or anything like head in some sense and letter ALIF means a bull or an ox. So if we expand on meanings of each of these letters one can see we could end up with so many meanings of this root. This is why it has meanings like monthly periods, sperm collection in a womb, sect, faction, group, a generation of people, reading from a written text, recitation from memory of written text, a written collection of some information for preservation, contents gathered in something in some form, time span, cycle, appointed time, to become with child, to gather together, to hold, to hold in, to know, to learn, to cause or enable something, discourse, the entire text of the Quran, reading, chief, manager, managed, power, authority, staff, stick, to imitate, to mimic, to meddle, to fool , to tinker, to be agile, to be mischievous, to make fool of etc etc. Word AL-QUR-AAN is a very comprehensive word. It means each and everything that serves its purpose in one or another sense. For short we can ask, why is the Quran called AL-QURAAN? It is called AL-QURAAN because it is a recitation or proclamation or reading or writing or information or guidance or manifesto or program or constitution or any of these or all of these etc etc. In fact the whole text of the Quran is merely explanation of what Quran or deen of Islam is. It all depends upon how detailed information one is looking for about the Quran or deen of Islam. This is what we find in dictionaries that people expand words as much as it serves their purpose and not that words stated in the dictionaries do not have any more meanings to add to these dictionaries. How people try to distort deen of Islam? They distort deen of Islam in different ways eg by bringing in concepts that are merely make beliefs and by bringing in rituals that are useless. Let us take the make belief that Allah sent his messengers with miracles. Can anyone clearly define what a miracle is? No. Can anyone prove that miracles are necessary for proving existence of Allah or that any claimant of messengership from Allah is in actual fact a messenger sent by Allah? No. Why not? Because if miracles were necessary for proving existence of Allah or messengership of a claimant of messengership of Allah then where is any miracle for doing that for people of today? Not only that but there was no miracle for any people who did not witness them and particularly the later generations that were not there in times of messengers of Allah. If Jesus showed some miracles to some people in some place then who showed any miracles to other people in other places particularly after Jesus? Today all people are trying to prove existence of God only through whatever texts and books they have. What does that tell us? It tells us very clearly that miracles were never needed to prove anything but this concept was invented by rulers, money lenders and mullahs to make fools of people and they succeeded in doing that till today because ignorant, illiterate, uneducated and unthinking people still believe all sorts of nonsense they are told by their ignorant and foolish mullahs. This will keep happening till people educate themselves out of their ignorance. One needs to ask, who invented this false belief and spread it among ignorant masses and why? It was work of joint groups of people whose interest this idea could serve ie rulers, money lenders and mullahs and they invented this idea because they did not want people to accept guidance of Allah just as they do not want them to do that even today and that is why they are spreading all sorts of nonsense to keep people away from serious thinking about life. If a people can go to so many wars to try to prevent people from going to deen of Allah then why will they not by all other means under their control eg establishment, mass media etc etc. How could they keep people away from deen of Allah by idea of miracles? To explain this point let us use an example of a child. Suppose you take away a child of someone after his birth and keep telling him I am your father or mother till he is grown up, will the child ever know his real parents even if they were one day sitting next to him? No. It is because the child has no reason to miss his real parents because he thinks he is with his real parents already. Only if he finds out that people he is living with are not his real parents that he will look at all other people thinking any of them could be his real parents. Likewise if people are indoctrinated with wrong ideas then those ideas unless challenged a person cannot find out what the reality may be. So if a people are indoctrinated with idea of miracles or supernatural human beings then unless people are challenged they will always be expecting such kind of people from God as his messengers and if anyone came and just read out things out of some book they will not accept him as a messenger of God because it is against their expectations with which they are brainwashed. This is how rulers, money lenders and mullahs made fool of people by setting up personality cults in order to bar message of God in the name of God. It was a very clever idea because people always had problems understanding it for it was worth ie it was a fraud. Since people expect a supernatural person to come and save them from what is going on in the world and such like person is not there so people become resigned to whatever they believe in. This is how ignorant people lend themselves to their users and abusers. This is why the Quran explains things to help people understand how things work in natural world naturally not supernaturally. The Quran only puts two things as acts of Allah ie the creation of the universe and revelation of his message. This is why the Quran emphasises the need for education and thinking, observation and proper understanding of things in so many verses. The explanation given here clearly explains that Jesus was not a fatherless child, nor he did any miracles attributed to him and that all such claims related to Jesus that involve supernatural acts are false according to the Quran and people who are saying wrong things about Jesus or for that matter any other messenger of Allah are in serious trouble with Allah and humanity. 66] It is your Creator and Sustainer O mankind Who has set-up systems and laws to drive your ships across the ocean so that you could seek His bounty thereby, His guidance is always there to lead you to unity, peace, progress and prosperity through His blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program for you. Verses like this as explained already have complementary meanings ie it is not just about travelling by ships but also about travelling through ocean of life with so many problems. In fact any journey by any ways and means is full of problems and guidance of Allah can lead through any journey of any sort safely because it helps mankind come together and help each other in all that needs to be done by mankind. 67] Even when any adverse situation strikes you at sea, all those upon whom you rely let you down save His set-up systems and laws, yet when He brings you safely to the land you turn your backs on His guidance for you. Surely man is ever neglectful of His advice therefore he gets in to all sorts of troubles. The Quran puts very much emphasis on learning about real world realities so that people are well prepared for situation that may arise in due course due to the way Allah has set-up things to work. Just because Allah has created fire does not mean we do not need to learn how it works and how we can save ourselves from its harmful effects and benefit from its useful effects. This is why people need to give up mazhab and mullahs if they want to live a life worth living in this world. Ignorance and make beliefs and useless rituals cannot replace the information the Quran provides about the natural world. 68] Can you then be confident that due to your ignoring of His guidance He will not leave you to perish in the world by your own doings, or let a tyrant take over you due to that? Then you will not find anyone to protect you save His blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program. 69] Or can you be sure that when again you go back into the sea He will not leave you to be smitten with a violent tempest and be drowned due to your harmful and destructive mindset, attitude and behaviour? If that happens then you will not find any who can really blame Us regarding such an end of yours. In these verses people are told to remain conscious of their responsibilities to others as their rights at all times. It is responsibility of people to check roads, shipping ports and airports, bikes, cars, buses, trains, ships and plans etc etc to keep all things in properly working order because on all this depends life of a lot of people throughout the world. A little negligence on part of one person can cost a lot to many others. Man is created to accomplish a lot so there is no room in Islam for lazy and crazy people who are ignorant and negligent of their existence and purpose of their existence ie serving mankind in the name of God. These verses define who a Muslim is ie a person fully aware of himself and others as well as God conscious. An ignorant and foolish person who learns not how to be a real human being cannot be a Muslim in the Quranic context. When a person has mindset and attitude based on the Quran and acts on that basis is a person who is acting like a Muslim. So understanding oneself and other things and the Quran is key to being a Muslim in action as well. This is why organising humanity as a proper human community and regulating it properly is Islam and living individually minding one’s own business is not Islam at all. A major difference between Islam and religions. Islam is not a private affair but a proper human community based way of life. 70] It is We who dignified ideological supporters of Adam by blessing them with conveyances on the land and in the sea and provided them with beneficial things and gave them right of proper use over such great number of Our creatures and created things. Mankind have been provided with all sort of things they will ever need so those who follow guidance of Allah use things as they should due to which they solve the problems that face them in life in an effective way which helps then develop and progress and prosper. 71] The time is coming when We will make all people rely upon their proper guide the Quran so whichever of the people will place themselves on the right side of their program, constitution and law they will be the people who will follow their program, constitution and law properly so they will not be put on the wrong path even the least. This verse makes it clear to mankind that the Quran is gradually going to become imam of the mankind to lead them on the right path to where they should be going. The first target is unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and the ultimate target is management of the universe for benefit of mankind themselves. Those who turn blind eye to the Quranic message and keep neglecting it will end up in a terrible life and will perish if they stop not and reform themselves in accordance with the Quran. 72] But those who will play blind with Our program, constitution and law and remain neglectful of their responsibilities to others to the end will lose the proper way to live ending up in painful suffering. 73] It is such people who try to entice you to lead you away from that which We reveal to you, hoping that you fabricate something in Our name. Had you done that, they would have made you their very close friend. 74] Had We not firmly placed you upon solid foundation then you may have had inclined to make some compromise with them. 75] But now that We have put you on the firm foundation if you still had compromised with them then We will have left you to suffer the life of a useless weak person and death of a useless weak person and moreover you will not have found any supporter to help you against Our plan. These like verses in the Quran tell us that no messenger of Allah ever went against guidance of Allah deliberately but since they were all human beings they could suffer from human error therefore if any of them did anything wrong by mistake they corrected themselves as soon as they became aware about it. Anyone who ends up killing anyone by mistake is not labelled a criminal and should not be in a proper human community but investigations must be carried out to ensure as much as humanly possible that it was not a deliberate killing out of personal animosity etc. 76] That is exactly the reason they tried their utmost to drive you out of this ideological basis as well as physically out of this place to expel you from it for good. Had they succeeded in doing so then they themselves could not have survived as a people much longer after you due to the situation they had created for themselves because of their harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours towards each other. 77] This has been always Our course of action as a rule with regards to people of those messengers whom We sent before you and you will find no change in Our rule that We let people destroy each other out of rivalries and animosities if they refuse to live by Our advice as a brotherhood of mankind. 78] Therefore strive very hard from the morning till night to establish proper human community network and that way bring about Quran based new beginning for the mankind. Surely Quran based new era will come about in due course for all to see. Word DULOOK is from root DAAL, LAAM and KAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is the beginning of return journey of something that has reached its terminus at the other end. Also door or something that is like a door in some sense, an ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, palm of hand or something like palm of hand in some sense, to rub something with hand, something that starts declining from the highest point after reaching it in some sense, to start the return journey, setting of sun, for something to start falling after reaching the maximum height, something that moves away from something, to go from one place to another, to change state of existence in some sense, to shift from ideology or place, to start rising towards maximum height, to make ready flour for making bread, to rub oneself during bathing, from start of the day, from the morning or time of sunrise, something that constantly changed with time in some sense, to rub, to try, to gain experience, a well travelled camel, to be hard up, for the sun to pass the meridian, to set, to rise etc etc. Word GHASAQ is from root GHAIN, SEEN and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is beginning of the evening or darkness till it is a completely dark night. Also evening, night, moon eclipse, something that happens in the dark of the night, something that happens during darkness of ignorance, something that is cool, something very cold that can freeze or is frozen, evening dusk, bright red, pus, foul fluid, to pour out, to water, running eye, something that enters darkness, the moon etc etc. Here the Quran tells people to work very, very hard from morning till night if you want to establishing a kingdom in the world based upon teachings of the Quran as revealed by Allah. Nothing gets done unless people work towards it. A very strong slap on faces of ignorant mullahs who instead of telling people to do what will get the job done instead tell people stupid things that have nothing at all to do with deen of Allah ie make beliefs and useless rituals. It is even more stupid of people who claim to be Muslims yet never read the Quran for themselves to see what it actually says so they become victims of misguidance of mullahs. 79] For making that to happen it is important that you work extra hard during the night due to period of darkness of ignorance to plan things for executing them during the day. That is how your Creator and Sustainer will raise you the people to a status that is truly secure, blissful and reflects glory of your Creator and Sustainer. Word TAHAJJAD is from root HAA, JEEM and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to take a stand and fight or take a flight. Also to go to sleep at night or stay awake at night, to rise up or stay put, to sleep or lie down during the day, to stop at some place or stage during a journey to continue after rest, the resting of fore part of the neck on the ground of a camel, to perform or carry out some task on voluntary basis, a window or something like a window in some sense, a camel or something like a camel in some sense, a door or something like a door in some sense etc etc. Whenever a movement starts for any purpose it requires very hard work by its supporters to succeed and that is what the Quran is making clear for supporters of its program. One cannot start a movement and go to sleep or not be bothered with work that is needed for its success. That will be recipe for its failure. 80] Therefore say, my Creator and Sustainer let me enter the struggle with help of Your guidance for installing the system that will fulfil needs and wants of mankind properly and thereby get me out of the system that has proven in actual fact harmful and destructive for humanity and that way grant me from Yourself irrefutable proof that supports my claim to Your messengership. 81] So that then you could proclaim, the truth has come and the falsehood has vanished because falsehood by its very nature is bound to perish. 82] That is because We have sent the Quran which is a service manual for humanity to rescue it from damage it has caused to itself, a program for prosperity for those who will commit to working for unity, peace and progress, yet nothing will increase for those who will work against this program but loss after loss. In these verses the Quran explains a way of proving the truth about the deen of Islam ie it provides a program with goals and guidelines that is perfect and possible if one examines it as one should and if people will put it in use faithfully then it is bound to deliver the promised results. This is like saying, here is a gun with bullets, it works. If you will put it in place properly and shoot it at the set target then it will hit the target so go ahead and shoot and find out if what is said is true or not. All one needs to do is examine the gun and the bullets and if all is ok then put it through a shooting trial and see if it really shoots bullets properly to hit the targets already set. Or it is like a architectural map for a building and people are asked to examine the map to see if it is workable and if it is then start building the building as it says and see if it becomes a reality in the real world. So if people do not bother to know the thing and do not try it out then it is not fault of the provided thing but of people themselves. 83] Human kind is a strange creature in its mindset, attitude and behaviour that when We shower Our gifts upon man in form of provisions and guidance, he avoids using them properly for the well being of each other and does the opposite as he pleases but when that results in harm and destruction of humanity, he gives himself up to despair instead of trying Our advice. 84] Say, every individual and every nation acts according to its own very limited thinking, not thinking beyond itself outside its own environment despite your Creator and Sustainer making people aware through His revelations and results of their own actions as to who is acting properly and is on the guided path and who is acting otherwise. 85] They question you about the purpose of revelation. Tell them, the revelation is a program from my Creator and Sustainer for your guidance to blissful, dignified and secure existence and that is because you have been given limited ability to learn through brain and senses from the day you are born therefore it helps you see the full picture and where you fit in it. These verses draw our attention to the very important fact that human beings are so designed that they can only pay attention to things to which their attention is drawn by way of stimulation and because there is no other way to draws human attention outside its own environment therefore the need for Allah to send him his message and messengers to help mankind guide themselves properly. This is how these verses explain the very purpose of revelations of Allah. Human beings are born with brains, senses and bodies and they are placed in an environment to learn from through lifetime experiences and on top of that messages and messengers are sent by Allah to draw their attention to higher goals to uplift them from level mere animals. 86] Had we so planned We could have kept away from you the mankind that which We have revealed for your guidance then you could not have found anyone to force Us for sending you Our guidance. 87] Nonetheless your Creator and Sustainer decided to bless you with His wisdom due to being your provider and sustainer, surely His grant of gift of guidance can prove hugely valuable for you if you understand it properly and use it for the purpose it is provided for. 88] Say, even if all those who oppose Our guidance and their leaders combined their resources to produce the like of this Quran, they could never be able to compose the like thereof even if they backed up each other as best as they could. 89] It is because in this Quran We have used every kind of argument in all necessary ways to make the people understand the message yet majority of them persist in rejecting and opposing it thereby they are denying its benefits to themselves and each other 90] and say, we will not accept this message of yours O Muhammad unless you cause by magic a spring to gush forth from the earth for us, In these like verses the Quran tells us what people demanded of the messengers of Allah so that they could accept them as God sent. The question is why they demanded what they demanded? It is because their priests or mullahs or religious leadership put them up to it by telling them a lot of falsehood about God and his messengers. They painted such supernatural pictures of divine agents that none could be accepted as such other than those whom their priests themselves could attest or confirm for them. As explained already, it was a trick invented by them to keep people under their sway through confusion based on their ignorance. The Quran challenges mankind on basis of testimonial proof not supernatural magical tricks called miracles. This is why the messengers of Allah told their people we are just human beings like you without any supernatural abilities to perform miraculous acts. Each of them said, I am sent with message from God and my job is to deliver it to you and it is up to you to receive it or not. I have no such abilities to show you such magical acts as you assume and demand. A straight to the point answer instead of making useless excuses. It shows the power of the message if one studies it but they were not even interested in examining the Quran as a supposed testimony of Allah. The same happens even today that is why religions are still around because there are so many ignorant and unthinking human minds around. No wonder the Quran calls such people dumb and worse than animals because they have no interest in learning what leads them to blissful, dignified and secure life so no wonder then that human beings are treated by each other like animals or worse throughout the world. People therefore need to wake up and start learning what benefits them instead of wasting their lives the way they are going about doing things. 91] or unless you produce a garden for yourself of date-palms and grapes and you cause rivers to flow in it by magic, 92] or unless you let all hell break loose on us about which you warn us or you bring Allah with His supernatural beings before our very eyes, The most important point to remember here is that the Quran uses words in context of two opposing concepts attached to those words. For example, word MALAK is used by pagans according to their imagination and God uses it in sense that makes sense in light of real world realities. Same happens in case of use of word JINN. People have many make beliefs and imaginations about jinns but God uses this word in light of real world realities. When God warns about heavenly disaster it is about things going wrong for humanity on a big scale. It does not mean sky is some solid structure but that is what people used to think that sky is a solid structure till we discovered it was not. It is simply a phenomenon that occurs due to reflections of sunlight. It is because mullahs do not realise this difference that they attribute to the Quranic text wrong concepts. The Quran is not about refuting each and every word by its rejecters and opponents word for word but instead it explains things as they are and tells people to examine the stated facts and then try and refute the stated facts in the Quran. So if people will try and understand the Quran and come to know what it is saying then there will remain no need to refute each and every person directly word for word. If Allah did not use this idea and instead started refuting individuals directly then one can imagine the volume of text that humanity could have ended up with. It will have been a situation like that of kids arguing with each other in a school play without any head or tail. It also shows how senseless people are who argue senselessly against the Quran. 93] or produce a house made with gold for yourself or you ascend in to the sky– but we will not accept your this ascendance in to the sky unless you bring down to us a book that we can read. Say to them, sovereignty only belongs to my Creator and Sustainer so its His program that you should know instead of making your own senseless demands for miracles. Have I ever claimed to you the people to be anything more than a human being assigned messenger-ship by Allah? 94] And what silliest excuse prevented ignorant masses from accepting Our program when it came to them other than their objection, why Allah has sent an ordinary human being like ourselves as His messenger? 95] Say, had there been living in the earth the creatures like the ones you imagine for Our messengership then We will have sent them a creature of their own kind as their messenger from Us. Here Allah is telling people that suppose there were such creatures living here on the earth as you imagine then Allah will have sent one of them as messenger because otherwise any other kind of creature will have been a stranger for them. Here it proves the fact that JINNS and MALAAIKAH are people ie human beings and not some other kind of creatures different from human beings otherwise Allah will have sent JINNS for JINNS are messengers not human beings. Moreover everything else is created for serving purpose of creation of human beings, so where is sense in imagining things yet better than mankind? The universe itself is a physical phenomenon so imagining that nonphysical things live in this universe is nothing less than stupidity by any standard. The whole universe is mere energy which is a physical phenomenon so people need to come out all the nonsense foolish mullahs talk about. These people cannot even explain self evident world before their very eyes how can they explain anything else that we should trust them for their wisdom. 96] Say, sufficient is testimony of Allah as a proof to decide the matter between me and you. Surely He is comprehensive in His observation and understanding of things so He knows what His human creatures need to do for blissful, dignified and secure existence. This is how Allah proves through his testimony that the Quran is word of Allah because no human being could have the needed knowledge to write a book like the Quran, which contains all kinds of necessary information and arguments very much beyond the capability of humanity. Allah did not need to come face to face with people to explain to them what he had to tell them in order to be accepted the author of the Quran. It is because there is no creature better than a human in creation of Allah and if something is not produced by a creature of Allah then the only other creator of that thing could only be Allah himself. This is why the creation of the universe and the revelation of guidance for mankind are acts of Allah. Even if human beings may never come to know these facts directly. This is why scientists can only explain mechanisms for change as chains of causes and effects after the universe came to exist and began to evolve into shape that we observe. The main thing for people to realise is that despite having all the knowledge we have gathered through all of our generations we are still making so many mistakes in understanding of things and keep changing our minds about things yet the Quran remains unchanged since it was revealed and we so far find it consistent with facts beyond dispute. Had any people tried to produce a book like the Quran they will have changed the text many times over to try and keep it right with time. People cannot write even a letter properly to each other, they keep writing and tearing up letters till they come up with a final version of text they are happy with. How could anyone produce a book like the Quran with such volume of text covering so many things in it in so many different ways? 97] That is why any population that is declared guided by the guidance of Allah is guided properly but any that goes away from the way of life advised by Allah you the people cannot find for it any solid foundation to base itself upon other than the one provided by Him. This is why We let such people come together in due course to rise up against each other due to their ways of life which they follow like blind, dumb and deaf that lead them to hell of their own making. We let rise fierceness of their fire of hatred against each other till they have had enough therefore they repent and reform or perish in their rage against each other. 98] That is how We let people face the results of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other because they reject and oppose Our program that calls them to blissful, dignified and secure existence therefore in despair some ask others, as we have become a totally disintegrated and a totally fractured community, could we be revived to blissful, dignified and secure existence again as if we are a proper human community that has been create from the start again? The Quran offers a comprehensive essential program that can reform any human population into a proper human community provided they are prepared to make the needed effort for learning and doing things they need to learn and do to be a proper human community. Merely getting a rug and sitting on it and calling upon God to do this and that is not going to do the trick as religious leaders tell their people to learn and do. That is just their way of keeping their people occupied in all sorts of make beliefs and useless rituals so that they do not have any time to learn and do things they actually need to learn and do to bring the needed changes to their lives. That will lead to uprising against rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters which they do not want. This is why they try their best to keep them busy in things that help them stay in power for as long as they can. 99] Why do they not observe things to learn lessons to do better for themselves because thereby they can see Allah is so wise and powerful that He has originated and evolved all the galaxies including this galaxy so He has power and wisdom to evolve towards betterment even likes of them because He has set-up systems and laws for a period of time for them in which there is no doubt they will be raised to blissful, dignified and secure existence even though the ignorant and the arrogant among them do nothing but inflict harms and destructions upon each other due to rejecting and opposing His guidance? The Quran repeatedly tells people to observe natural world and learn lessons to do things that can help humanity create a beautiful world for themselves yet people ignore the message of Allah and keep doing things to each other which ruins humanity. Nonetheless even their this negative mindset, attitude and behaviour is to bring them to the same destination that Allah has planned for them. It will have been better if people did as told by Allah but even if they do not, the set-up systems and laws of Allah are put in place in such a way that people are bound to be forced by each other for their own reasons to move in the same direction kicking each other and screaming at each other. The end result is said to be a united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous human world. In short if people will not learn and do things the easy way to get where they need to be in a short time then they will be forced by each other to learn and do things the hard way over a much longer period of time as explained already in detail. 100] Say, even if you had all the treasures of my Creator and Sustainer at your disposal you will still have held them back from using them for the well being of mankind fearing their reduction due to your harmful and destructive mindset, attitude and behaviour towards each other. Man is ever so stingy so he must change his mindset, attitude and behaviour through journey of self discovery and awareness of universal realities! Here it is made absolutely clear that it is not lack of provisions and sustenance that people inflict harms and destructions upon each other but that they are ignorant and arrogant that is why they inflict each other with harms and destructions due to seeking dominance over each other by trying to undermine each other. This is why they have been provided with guidance from Allah to be of proper mindset, attitude and behaviour so that they use provisions and sustenance as it ought to be used for the well being of mankind. 101] That is the reason We gave Moses a program with comprehensive set of goals and guidelines for his people when he came to them, ask the children of Israel. And Pharaoh said, O Moses! I think you are taken over by some clever plan against us. Word TISA is from root TAA, SEEN and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is something of highest value. Also nine, seventy, four hundred, sum total, a set of most important things, something of highest importance or most dignified or most honoured, something that acts as a standard in some sense for measuring something against, something that makes something complete in some sense, something all encompassing, comprehensive, womb, something that contains everything needed for some purpose, new life, a new civilisation, fruit, result, outcome, tooth, tradition, something to hold onto, handle, eye, spring, the sum total of this world, devil, snake, something that thinks and does what harms or destroys etc etc. In olden times letters were also used as numbers as well as meaningful words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs and even as subjects with explanations running over many pages. For example, alif=1, baa=2, jeem=3, daal=4, haa=5, wow=6, zaa=7, haa=8, taa in Hebrew and twaa in Arabic=9. After that yaa=10, kaaf=20, laam=30, meem=40, noon=50, seen=60, ain=70, faa=80, swaad=90. Then after that qaaf=100, raa=200, sheen=300, TAA and TWAA values have been switched round in Hebrew and Arabic. TWAA in Hebrew and taa in Arabic=400, saa=500, khaa=600, zaal=700, dwaad=800, zwaa=900, ghain=1000. So alif did not just mean one but also the one eternal ie God, ox, bullhead, beginning, steer head, stick, power, authority, pole, column, pillar, horizontal beam supported by a pillar or column, support, aid, assistance, help etc etc. This is why TAA not only means 9 but also 400 as well as new life, new civilisation, new beginning, new start, fruit, result, outcome etc etc. Since the root of word TISA is composed of a set of three letters not just one so other letters also are meaningful words eg letters seen and sheen have meanings such as tooth, tradition, custom, satan, devil, snake and likewise letter ain has meanings like eye and spring or sum total of this world. Not only that but each letter has meanings such as likeness of something in some sense. So letter ain not only means an eye but also something like an eye in some sense as has been explained already. This is why no word in the Quran can be taken as a number or word just because it has that meanings but the context in which the Quran is talking is very important in selection of which meanings may be more suitable for the text in context. It is because the meanings of the words used in the Quran depend not only on the text but also observations of things in real world. This is why the Quran cannot be understood in isolation from real world realities as explained already in detail. This verse seems to be talking about nine distinct things ie some very important goals or tasks with guidelines that Allah set for Moses and his people to bring them out of life of misery under Pharaoh to a blissful, dignified and secure existence after they fell away from the way of life they were told about by prophet Joseph. 102] Moses replied, I think you can know the truth very clearly if you want that no one except the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth has sent down these revelations as eye-openers and O Pharaoh, I think that if you will fail to give the due attention to these revelations then you are bound for self destruction as a people the way you people are dealing with each other. 103] However Pharaoh decided to drive Moses and his people out from their ideological stance and physical place of stay so We let him destroy himself and all who supported him by hands of each other. Allah never harms or destroys any people but he does explain his plan for humanity and how it should live in this universe but if people refuse to listen and do their own things then consequences do follow accordingly as he explains to mankind through his revelations. The very same is told about Pharaoh and his people. That is how they ended up by adopting the way of life they chose for themselves ie the personal gains based way of life at the expense of each other instead of living by way of life advised by Allah whereby people are bound to ensure well being of each other as a proper human community. 104] However after Pharaoh and his people destroyed each other We advised ideological and biological children of Israel to settle down back in the same land and that is how in the end came the time for fulfilment of Our another promise to you the people of the book for which We scattered you among populations to let them know about the messenger to come. 105] In order to fulfil that promise and turn it into a reality We have sent this Quran so it has come to fulfil its set out purpose, therefore O messenger! We have not sent you but to deliver the promised program for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind and to forewarn them that failing to follow it will result in serious consequences for them. 106] For that reason We have revealed the Quran in different ways so that you O messenger deliver the Quran to the mankind in every way exactly as it should be delivered because that is the way We have delivered it to you in distinct detail. Word MUKSI is from root MEEM, KAAF and SAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to stay put. Also to stand still or remain in the same state, to stay, to remain, to wait, to bide one’s time, to await the outcome, to be calm, to be self restraint, to tarry, to reside, to ensure something is done properly as it should be done, to do something properly with surety or certainty, to do something while taking necessary time to ensure nothing was missed out or left out in a hurry, water or something like water in some sense, palm of hand or something like palm of hand in some sense etc etc. Here the Quran explains the ways it was revealed ie in form of reading out of memory and in form of writing that was copied from the original copies as well as in form of meanings of its words used in it and that is the way the messenger of Allah delivered it to people and then it was turned into a reality through establishment of a kingdom based upon its teachings. Here it is very important that people become aware of some verifiable facts about the Quran so that none remains in any doubt that the transmission of the Quran was perfect for all practical purposes. It is a matter of fact that in Arabic language letters are interchangeable in many words eg Word SIRAAT can be written with letter SEEN or SWAAD. Anyone who knows about origin of language and its development knows that Arabic uses a letter replacement idea in words a lot. It is because Arabic is a relatively new language as compared to its sister or ancestral languages such as Aramaic, Hebrew, Ugarit, Phoenician, Syriac, Akkadian etc. Since Arabic comes from other languages so it borrows words from them therefore it ends up using multiple roots to express the very same concept due to transliteration problem between languages. For example, word MAKKAH is also called BAKKAH why? Because these two words Arabic borrowed from two or more other languages. It is like word PARAAN and FARAAN. In Persian language both sounds exist ie P as well as F but in Arabic P sound does not exist so the Arabs use their own closely resembling sound for P which is F. So while Persians say PARAAN Arabs say FARAAN. The same is the case with word PAKISTAN ie Arabs say BAKISTAN ie they replace letter P with B. This problem exists between languages as a matter of fact. It is also a matter fact that languages have been borrowing from each other heavily throughout times and places. In some cases one language has borrowed from another language directly but in other cases indirectly ie first a word was borrowed by one language so it was modified to suit use of that language and then from that language it was borrowed by another language and was modified to make it suitable for use in that language. So depending on from how many different languages a word has been borrowed by a borrowing language it became pronounced and written in different ways in the very same language this is the case in case of Arabic language. In Arabic letters like TAA, SAA and TWAA are interchangeable because they sound very close. Likewise letter BAA, FAA, MEEM and WOW are interchangeable. The case is same with letters SEEN and SWAAD or letter ZAAL, ZAA, ZWAAD and ZOE, ZWAAD however can also be interchanged with letter DAAL. Same is problem with letter KHAA, QAAF and KAAF. HAA and HAA etc etc. Over a period of time in Arabic itself letters and pronunciations became standardised but problems between different languages remain the same even today. Arabs did not modify their language beyond 28 letters or with HAMZAH 29 letter symbols. The Quranic text is based upon that standard. There has been no modification in number of letters since the revelation of the Quran. So long as the Quran remains in existence and people keep adhering to it, there will not be any modification in Arabic language of that nature. However borrowing between Arabic and newer languages continues even today and so it continues between other languages as well. The purpose of this explanation was to show why Arabic has more than one root set for a word in some cases. For example, let us take word KITAAB. It has only one root in Arabic ie KAAF, TAA and BAA. However this is not the case with word ISRAA. This word has a few roots ie SEEN, RAA and WOW; SEEN RAA and YAA; SEEN, WOW and RAA; and SEEN, YAA and RAA. In ancient times all Arabs moved away from each other so they were not one people living in one place speaking exactly the very same kind of Arabic even though originally they come from same ancestors. Human race is originally one race that comes from same ancestors but people moved away from each other as their needs and situations or circumstances demanded or dictated. After separating each people kept on inventing more things as well as words to talk about them so today people have come together again but they speak very different from what they learned from their original ancestors though some of the word we can still make out among all people because they remained unchanged or suffered less change so they can be traced back in time. Likewise Arabs even though were same people but they moved away from each other and then they were united again and there were differences between their spoken languages of this nature because each group borrowed from other people of other languages they were in contact with during those times and in those places as they needed. All this explanation in my view was necessary to come to the point because it will help people understand something I am going to explain about the originality of the Quranic text. As explained above a lot of words in Arabic are written using different letters. For example, let us take word SIRAAT. In Arabic language word SIRAAT is written in two ways ie using SEEN as its first letter or letter SWAAD. In some places people write word SIRAAT using letter SWAAD and in others using letter SEEN so word SIRAAT has two roots ie SWAAD, RAA and TWAA and SEEN, RAA and TWAA. If we read the Quranic text, nowhere in the Quran word SIRAAT is written with letter SEEN at the beginning and everywhere in the Quran word SIRAAT is always written with letter SWAAD. You will therefore agree that if the Quran did not come down in written form and people made copies out of their memories then we ought to find that some copies of the Quran ought to have in them word siraat written with letter swaad and in others word siraat written with letter seen. Since all copies of the Quran contain this word written only and only by using letter swaad then how do we explain this consistency unless people were given a copy of the Quran in writing to copy the written text from it exactly as it was? Let me explain this in another way in English. If I dictated to a mixed group of people from different countries to write down word MUHAMMAD, will they all write it exactly as I have it in my mind or will they do it the way they know it according to their own life experiences? An Italian person will write Muhammad the way he thinks and an English person will write it the way he thinks and a French person will write it the way he thinks etc etc. Some will end up writing Muhammad others Mohammed and yet other Mohamed and so on and so forth. Word SIRAAT is not the only one but there are dozens of such words used in the text of the Quran throughout the text of the Quran. The other fact regarding the Quran is that there are some letters in the beginning of some surahs. Some of them if were not pronounced as well as written they could confuse people as to what they were ie words or separate letters eg take surah two verse one letters ALIF, LAAM and MEEM. The way they are written in surahs they could be taken for meaningful words because there is a word in Arabic which is pronounced ALAM eg see in surah 94 verse one. Yet other evidence is the fact that the very first verse of the Quran is always written the very same way ie BISMILLA HIRRAHMAA NIRRAAHEEM. It is written with 19 letters in it always whereas it is supposed to be written with 22 letters ie three ALIFs in ISM and ALLAH and RAHMAAN are missing in BISMILLAH verse. Word ISM is written in surah 96 verse one with ALIF. Anyone will find that all copies of the Quran throughout the world are written exactly that way. Had someone dictated the Quranic text out memory and people wrote it down then we ought to see very many differences in written texts eg bismillah verse could have been written in a few different ways ie some using no ALIFs other using just one or two or three etc etc. Yet another fact is that all copies of the Quran have no bismillah at the start of surah nine. Had people made copies as they liked then we will have found variations between them some including and some excluding letters, words and verses in the text. So there is watertight evidence that the Quran as we have it was written down by the prophet himself and handed down to his people long before he passed away. He actually delivered the message of Allah as it was supposed to be delivered otherwise he could not have been chosen as a messenger by Allah. Even we humans do not choose bad workers for getting our works done if we can help it so how could Allah be expected to do such a silly thing as choose someone unfit for doing his job? That will have ruined the whole plan of Allah for humanity. Had the prophet himself not left the Quran behind properly and had people not fully accepting it, they could have ended up divided about it right away and forever and none could have united them on the basis of the Quran after the prophet. Today whatever else Muslims do they have only one Quran and copies of the Quran are available throughout the world even from long time ago in the past. According to some claims we have copies of the Quran even from the time very near to the time of the prophet. Unfortunately we Muslims are not good at preservations, research and explorations since we have become slaves of rulers, money lenders and mullahs. It is a miracle in itself for Quran to have survived intact till now. The way people claiming to be Muslims have been busy killing each other it is not going to take very long before they are all gone. Any remaining ones will be done away with by kufaar by the look of it. But then Allah has a plan of his own so we will come to know whatever awaits for us good or bad. The main point for a people to pay attention to is how a kingdom is brought about on basis of the teachings of the Quran. It is by sharing the Quran with each other and coming together of people for this purpose so it is bottom up community based movement. It is not a top down movement by a few powerful people to take over rest of people and use and abuse them at will for personal gains at their expense. This is why the Quran had to be there already before the messenger of Allah could bring about such a kingdom on its basis. It is not a case of bringing about a kingdom first by force and then imposing the Quran upon it by force. Had that been the case there will not be any need for the Quran because if the Quran required or needed forceful implementation then it could do people no good. There is a big difference in having and using a force for defending against oppression and suppression than using it for oppression and suppression. Deen of Islam is a way of life to peaceful existence through mutual goodwill of people for each other. This mutual goodwill is impossible to bring about among mankind unless they are educated first to level of its awareness and that is why the Quran had to be in existence before it could be preached and a proper human community could be brought about to establish a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. This is why all stories told about the Quran not being there till long after the death of the prophet make no sense whatsoever if one looks at the nature of deen of Islam and humanity. People are very much opposite in their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours to what the Quran requires of them. So if the Quran was not there then how did people become a people who modelled their lives on the Quranic model? In fact that is bound to give rise to many unanswerable question if the Quran was created by people long after the death of the prophet. For example, to create a book like the Quran in itself is impossible for mankind even today so how did they manage it 1400 plus years ago? Why people are the way they are after receiving the Quran like animals if they were so good as the message in the Quran? It is because to bring about the book like the Quran people had to have that mindset, attitude and behaviour. If people already had great mindset, attitude and behaviour then why did they need Quran for guidance? The very same question must be asked of people of today, why are you so stupid even today when the past people in so called less education period they were so great? The only way things make sense is the way they are explained by the Quran. People are always the same but it is the guidance of Allah that brings in them the change and only when they pay attention to it. So guidance was there before it was delivered to people by the messenger of Allah and his missionaries. This is why they were able to bring about a kingdom based upon it which lasted for as long as people paid attention to the message of the Quran and when they fell away from the Quran, the kingdom that was brought about by the messenger of Allah with help of his supporters was gone and so the world came under grip of imperialism once again and will remain in that state till people come to know the Quran again. Now the question is, if the Quran has been transmitted flawlessly down the generations since the time of the prophet then why are there so many reports in the books of Ahadith? The answer is simple that when people became slack in paying proper attention to the Quran after the death of the prophet and took certain steps in error such as open border policy whereby any people were welcomed into the kingdom but these people were not given the proper attention things gradually got out of control turning the kingdom into a chaotic society wherein opportunists were able to take advantage and so things went from bad to worse with each passing day. Since Hadith reports were not collected by community but by individuals unlike the Quran that was a community book upon which they based their lives so there occurred some insertions and omissions by people who were in positions of power eg rulers, money lenders and mullahs. Moreover because Ahadith were not official accounts so no attention was paid to their authenticity like the Quran. This is why according to the collectors of Ahadith themselves they had difficulty in getting this sort of information together unlike the Quran. However despite all this it is fine to accept all Hadith reports that do not contradict the Quran. The Quran is ultimate authority for deen of Islam not the Hadith nor the Fiqh. They are only authentic for as long as they backed by the Quran. As told in the verses above even in this very Surah that only those people are righteous who are backed by the Quran so only those saying and doing that are attributed to the messenger of Allah are fine that are backed by the Quran in context of deen of Islam. So anyone who tries to use Hadith reports or Fiqh matters to prove the quran wrong is going about things the wrong way. The Quran can only be proven false if it could be found contradicting itself or self evident facts not otherwise. Since it is impossible to prove the Quran wrong therefore it is a waste of time for those who are trying to do that. It will better use of time for a person to study the Quran properly for oneself and helps others do the same instead. For more detail see how rulers, money lenders and mullahs have been using scriptures as tools for exploitation of masses due to peoples’ themselves staying ignorant. This is why the Quran keeps telling people to use their brains and senses properly to learn and do things properly. If they still ignore educating themselves then they cannot avoid use and abuse by those who are cleverer than them. If all people are clever then they know they cannot deceive each other so they don’t even try due to fear of being caught out by each other. This is why there are teams of people that work against their chosen victims just like wolves work against sheep. 107] Say O mankind, it is up to you to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to it or not to commit to working for unity peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. Indeed those who were bestowed with similar revealed knowledge before it when it is proclaimed before them they are overwhelmed by it therefore they accept it true Word AZQAAN is from root ZAAL, QAAF and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is lowering down of chin as to look down on one’s feet. Also chin, beard, to place hand under the chin, to hit on the chin, to annoy, to show humbleness, to bow one’s head downwards, to accept defeat, to submit, to surrender, to accept superiority of someone or something in some sense, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, fish or something like fish in some sense, to fall down on one’s face, to prostrate, face or something like face etc etc. 108] and that is why they declare by their words and deeds, sovereignty surely belongs to our Creator and Sustainer alone! The promise of Our Creator and Sustainer to us is bound to become fulfilled indeed. 109] They are influenced so much that they are overcome by its awesome information therefore tears run down their eyes due to increase in their increasing recognition of it. 110] Say, it matters not whether you invite people to guidance of Allah or AL-RAHMAAN=the master of the universe because towards whatever guidance you invite mankind in His name remember that His goals and guidelines are only those whereby mankind could end up with a blissful, dignified and secure existence, so do not be harsh in inviting people towards community network nor be slack about it instead follow a properly balanced way for fulfilling that purpose. 111] That is how you should proclaim, sovereignty only belongs to Allah Who has no need for assistance or begotten son to assist or succeed Him nor has He any partnership with anyone in the sovereignty of this Kingdom and there is none more powerful than Him to humble Him, so strive hard to establish greatness of His guidance by bringing about a Kingdom in His name in the universe through mutual help and support for ensuring the well being of mankind. |
Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 18 ALKAHF-To remove negative social, political, economic and religious etc divisions between mankind, it is necessary for people to educate themselves and each other so that they could know message of Allah properly in light of real world realities and then act upon it faithfully for ensuring well being of themselves as a proper human community
This surah is named KAHF from root KAAF, HAA and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is distance between two things in some sense. Also inconsistency, disconnection, break, hole, gap, gulf, distance, cave, valley, divide, difference, dispute, cavity, hollow, cavern, remote, isolated, striped of things of need, starved, stark naked, empty, lacking things of need, poverty stricken, frightening or dreadful or terrible or horrible or desperate state of existence, refuge, useful, helpful, purposeful, apart, cut off, disconnected, indirect, lack of concern, lack of interest, palm of hand or something like palm of hand in some sense, handle, handhold, grip, control, window or something like a window in some sense, eternity, the universe, window of opportunity, a way into something, eye of the mind, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, to consume or devour, something that eats away at the roots of a tree that makes the tree weak and unstable, divisions and dispute among people that weaken future of humanity etc etc. This surah is named KAHF not because word kahf is used in it or it tells story of a people called people of KAHF etc but due to subject matter of the story which has same main context as any other surah of the Quran ie divisions in human community on basis of personal gain at the expense of each other or at the expense of proper human community. People keep putting in place barriers in each other’s way in the name of politics, economics or religion etc etc whereby they try to use and abuse each other for petty personal gains and in time end up in wars with each other. At times some sensible people arise from within a people or come there from outside to bring them to their senses in order to unite them into a proper human community. This becomes very clear when we read the text in its proper context which is obvious from the very first verse and the three subsequent main stories about three different groups of people. The first verse provides basis of unity of mankind and leaves no reason for people to remain divided and reward for unity is explained as well as warning is put in place for mankind to stay away from all negative reasons for divisions. The beginning attack is then on state and religion based division ie mullaism or priesthood and sainthood is attacked on basis of wrong concepts about God and by explaining what purpose of creation is and how the creation works etc it is brought to mind of humanity how they need to read the Quran to understand it properly ie there is no place in the Quran for mysteries, myths, superstitions and magic or miracles. Then begins the story of a people who were given proper understanding of the scripture from Allah who were ignored by their community. They go away and prepare themselves to make a comeback one day when they will be heeded no matter what. When they make a comeback after some generations, they are heard and given the due place in society ie the people become united on the same message some of them rejected earlier. The story is similar to so many stories told in the Quran ie people divide on basis of politics, economics and religion. The first story is divide between Adam and Iblees. That was division based on state and religion. Politics is all about management or control of manpower and resources. So whoever is political in-charge of things controls everything ie economy and religion. If politics are based on program from Allah then there is no room for negative divide between people on basis of caste, class, race, colour creed etc etc because God puts forth a program based upon some goals and guidelines for mankind. It is a principle based way of politics therefore there is no problem with economy either nor religion comes into it. You either accept certain values, principles or precepts and live by them for certain goals or you do not. Those who work for those goals within the stated terms and conditions are termed Muslims and those who do not are called Infidels. If you are really a Muslim community, there is no way you can fail because you have program of God on your side, which if you understand properly and follow properly will deliver what it says. Here I am not talking about lip service to Quranic message. World is full of such Muslims and everyone can see them for what they really are because they say one thing and do another. This is why the Quran only calls Muslims such people who say what they do and do what they say ie their commitment to the program of Allah is as it should be both in word and in deed otherwise the Quran uses another term for people who say they are committed to the program of Allah with their tongues but do whatever is in their personal interest at the expense of all others. The term used in the Quran for such people is MUNAAFIQEEN=hypocrites. The very idea of separation between state and religion is attacked right from the beginning of this Surah to the very end. It is because dominant people in a community try and take power in their own hand pushing out the guidance of Allah from their societies. This leads to creation of ruling elite, money lending elite and religious ruling elite. They all work against masses as one because through use and abuse of masses they gain power over them mentally as well as physically. They try to come up with ideas or schemes, tricks and mechanisms or should we say scams to encapsulate minds of masses. Like Iblees they show rosy picture to masses from their own standpoints. Politicians do it from that background ie what suits them and gives them advantage on basis of politics, bankers do it from that background ie what suits them and gives them advantage on basis of money or wealth and priest do it from that background ie what suits them or gives them advantage on basis of religion. This is how masses become their own worst enemies by letting these people set agendas and basis rather than they doing this for themselves and then choosing right people for the right job. The Quranic program on the other hand gives power back to masses themselves in the name of God. It sets the goals that all must follow and it sets terms and conditions for all to abide by. Not on basis of who is powerful and takes advantage of others but on basis of who can do most or the best for humans as a proper human community. This is why story of isolated people is very important to understand and so is story of Moses and his people because after very first story of Adam and Iblees the Quran goes on to last story of BANI ISRAEL. Telling us very clearly that problems of humanity were always the very same ie divide between advantaged elites and disadvantaged masses. There were always two groups of people among human beings a)the groups that did everything to divide mankind and to keep things that way and b)the groups that tried their best to unite mankind. The very same is explained in stories told in this surah. The people in positions of power divided their people and tried to keep divisions alive and people with some wisdom from on high always tried to unite people. To bring about divisions and to keep them in place was easier but to bring about unity between people was always very hard and very difficult. This is why throughout history humanity remained divided and so it is even today. In times long ago imperialism united people by force but now time is coming when more and more people are becoming closer to each other on basis of ideologies. A very clear indication that Quranic message in form of deen of Islam is taking its shape in reality gradually. Just as Moses managed to unite his people and people of KAHF united their communities so did the person told about as ZULQARNAIN in the last story. As explained already through these stories God is educating his messenger how to lead his mission to success and the very same needs to be done by his followers otherwise they are not going to succeed ie like the prophet himself Muslims must also read the Quran for understanding it properly and then like the prophet himself they must also spread its message properly otherwise they can never succeed. No matter what they do, it will only back fire upon themselves. For the success of the mission of Allah, the program of the mission must be clearly understood and properly spread otherwise wrong understanding of the message when it is spread it will only drive people away from the message rather than attracting them to it. Muslims must never forget that a little wrong thing out of their mouths or in their actions and the people who want to undermine program of Allah will make a huge thing out of it and that will cause untold damage to the mission setting back mankind for generations to come. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, [1] that sovereignty rightfully only belongs to Allah Who has revealed through His messenger the book as a program, constitution and law for the benefit of mankind that leaves no reason for people to live on basis of rivalries and animosities, Word IWAJAA is from root AIN, WOW and JEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is unevenness of the floor or ground. Also social or political or economic or cultural or religious or geographical divides between mankind, crookedness, an unevenness in something that is visible to the naked eye as well as the insightful eye of the mind, twisted thinking, harmful and destructive action, caste divide, class divide, racial divide, eye or something like an eye in some sense, a hook or something like a hook in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, ivory, to be crooked, to be curved, to lean to, to divert, jutting up, peak, deviation, straying away, distortion etc etc. This verse should leave one in no confusion as regard purpose of revelation of this book ie to bind humanity into a solid brotherhood and thereby get them out of way of life based on rivalry and animosity for personal gains at the expense of each other. Life based on personal gain at the expense of human community is condemned and life based on ensuring well being of individuals in form of a proper human community is recommended. The book leaves no justifiable reason for people to live in negative competition with each other. This is the main reason that the Quran rejects secularism based democracy because it is governed by power politics instead of principles that ensure goodwill for human community. After all even tribal leaders were chosen by tribal support even if support was forced out of the people by the strongest of them. Kings were also chosen by tribes even if by forcing support out of weaker tribes. Imperialism only thrived by deriving its power from strong kingdoms. Theocracy also played its role through power of religion as its power base. Today it is not power of land or religion but money that controls all, so whoever has the backing of bankers wins to rule the masses. The Quran does not reject the mechanisms, the processes, the procedures or the practices but basis upon which are based systems and structures etc. If power base is shifted to rule of law and constitution is held supreme and that constitution is just and fair with laws to ensure unity, peace, progress and prosperity for mankind then the Quran has no objection against any system that proves to deliver humanity from its troublesome existence. The whole point of the Quran is to ensure blissful, dignified and secure life for the mankind as a proper human community. However the Quran tells us that that is not possible outside the Quranic program, constitution and laws. Of course, if it was possible then for last 1400 plus years why humanity failed to do it? Also will mankind be able to do so in coming 1400 years from now ignoring what the Quran tells us? All we can see from our human history is that if we did anything right it was just out of ignorance as a by product of our rivalry and animosity based interaction. If we are going to go about life this way then we will not see unity, peace, progress and prosperity for lot more than 1400 years. This is why there is sense in studying the Quran and spreading its message so that we could reach the goals quicker. It is because working toward a goal is very different from ending up with same result in the end as a by product after a very long and hard useless struggle. [2] brought about by Him to warn permanently against severely destructive wars and to deliver good news of prosperity as a result of their beneficial hard works by those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind such as take active part in reconciliation between mankind to do works as a team that ensure development and progress of humanity as well as prosperity In the Quran word SALIHAAT is repeatedly used in sense of such works by people that mend their relationship with each other so that as a united community they think and take actions that ensure human survival with dignity ie works that help humanity develop to its full potential. The Quran is free of make beliefs and useless ritualism just for the sake of it. The Quran nowhere promises any rewards for time wasting rituals these are invented by mullahs to give some sort of credence to religions in the name of God. Islam is anti religion and anti harmful and destructive doctored indoctrination that sets back mankind instead of moving humanity forward. The Quran tells people blissful, dignified and secure existence of humanity depends upon themselves as a proper human community. Doing things that lead to life of hell are therefore made very clear by the Quran. [3] the very state in which they will live joyfully for as long as they will maintain it. Such verses in the Quran tell mankind that no matter what they cannot have blissful, dignified and secure life unless they work hard for it and to keep things that way the maintenance of things is necessary. There is nothing for nothing in the Quran. Allah has created the world and mankind in it for his purpose and that purpose cannot be fulfilled unless mankind show their own works through their own creativity or what they are capable of accomplishing. So people who are busy with their nonsense beliefs and useless rituals need to come out of that frame of mind if they wish to please Allah. Allah wants people to use their brains not act like mindless animals so that they attain their human dignity by behaving like well balanced humans should. [4] Moreover He warns those who claim, Allah needs someone to depend upon or to succeed Him or assist him. [5] They can never prove their such baseless claims nor could their forefathers, this is a grossly damaging claim for unity of mankind themselves that comes out of their mouths. They state nothing but a lie to cause baseless divisions In verses like this the main concern is not what people say or do or believe but its effects on human population as a whole. Anything that causes harmful and destructive divisions among people is taken as a setback and people who have risen to level of awareness to that degree realise that and also it worries them because of its terrible consequences. There is little that can be done other than keep educating people till they come to realisation of their own wrong stance. However, one cannot give far too much attention to any one party the while one ignores all others. That way the party given attention may not be able to grasp the ideas and the ones who could are not given the necessary attention so the end result is a loss. Therefore it is a good idea to target groups due to limitations and help those first who need lesser attention because when they are educated they can help and educate others. This way one can do a better job than keep banging one’s head against the brick wall that can only result in cracking one’s own skull instead of bringing down the wall. [6] and in your hope for educating these like people to see your plan for them are you going to work yourself to the bitter end despite the fact that they are not committing themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to this message? [7] Regardless of their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours, the fact is, We have equipped the world very nicely with all kinds of things for serving the needs and wants of people including Our guidance to help them struggle through for higher goal in order to let them demonstrate which of them does most of what ensures well being of humanity as a proper human community. This verse explains the purpose of God as to why he created the universe and mankind in it. It also proves the evolution of mankind and the universe itself. In verses like this mullahs have failed very badly to understand the fact that Allah does not need to put people through any test for any reason whatsoever. Word BALAA not only means test but also struggle, hardship, disaster, house, ox-goad and hook etc etc as well. Had Allah created people for putting them through test then he will have set up the world that way and all people will have been given equal opportunity and the starting point. Allah repeatedly tells us that he himself created people different from each other so that those who have been given any abilities take care of those who have not been given those abilities. So each person is asked to play a complementary part for bringing about a proper human community. If people will follow way of life advised by Allah then they will end up with beautiful human community but if they will not then life will become as they make it for themselves ie a hell hole by making of people themselves. People will be awarded for playing their roles positively but those who will not, will be drowned by their own sorrows and regrets as people take their anger out on each other for putting each other through hell. [8] That is why We produced things on the earth in simple form to let them develop gradually through tiny steps to higher state of existence through their interaction with each other. Word SAEED is from root SWAD, AIN and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is development. Also evolution, rise towards higher state or level, honourable, dignified, climb, ascend, rise to a preset level, surface, the upper crust of the earth, merge, highland, a person of strong character, hardship, hard working, troubled person, a person in or under stress, plant or something like a plant in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, distress, clean soil, to move off briskly, to climb up in a hurry, progression towards some focal point or goal, overpowering, awesome, overwhelming, to struggle very hard while climbing, to make severe effort towards something, insurmountable difficulty, great torment, dust, flat land, barren land etc etc. Word JURUZAA is from root JEEM, RAA and ZAA. Concrete meaning of this root is interaction. Also partake, participate, take part, eat up, devour, consume, kill off, barren land, void, cut off, famine, engulf, to hunt down, prey upon, make use of, be part of, a camel or something like a camel in some sense, head or something like a head, a chief, a manager, a leader, a tool or something like a tool in some sense, an instrument, a weapon, something used for doing something to fulfil some purpose or task or mission etc etc. This verse explains a very important point which is how things learn and do thing through their interaction with each other within their environment. [9] Or do you people think the story of the people who were stripped of their things of need by the people in positions of power was any different from the stories We already told you about? Word RAQEEM is from root RAA, QAAF and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is marking. Also scripture, prescription, writing, money, wealth, counting, wealthy people, people with power, number, computation, dots, stripes, speckles, side of a valley, a place where water gathers, a pond, a dam, the flooded placed, a head or something g like a head in some sense, a chief or manager or leader, a monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, clever, mischievous, agile, flexible, quick mover, water or something like water in some sense, something that quenches thirst in some sense, something that fulfils some need of something in some way, something that flows or keeps moving or changing with time, something that moves, motivates or inspires, something that gives life to something or brings it to life or keeps it alive etc etc. Word AJABAA is from root AIN, JEEM and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to admire something for its outstanding character or performance etc. Also something that is distinctively different from the rest, something strange, something that causes one to wonder at it for some reason, to like, a wondrous thing, conceit, conceited person, to deem strange or extraordinary or improbable, to be surprised, to please, to impress, to make a great impression on someone or something, to satisfy, amazing, incredible, most peculiar, a puzzle, something that puzzles or causes someone to fall into confusion about it, an eye or something like an eye in some sense, a camel or something like a camel in some sense, a house or something like a house in some sense etc etc. This verse explains a very basic fact that people always interacted the same way since they came to existence save when Allah sent them guidance and they accepted his guidance after understanding it properly and acted upon it faithfully. In other words strong and clever people have been treating the weak and ignorant people the same way always till some looked for guidance to break this cycle and were provided with guidance. Since then those who accepted the revealed guidance of Allah tried their best to live up to it and since then struggle between two groups of people has a criterion and solid foundation to judge themselves which side of the divide they wish to be. It is in this context the Quran tells all its stories about the people of the past so this story is not an exception to the rule either. This is how the Quran confronts people who attribute all sorts of nonsense to Allah through making up stories about things and people and by twisting his words with their nonsense interpretations. Jews believed they were a chosen people and that Moses parted the sea for them and did some strange magical things for them, Christians turned their messenger into a God and attributed so many nonsense stories to Jesus in that false context. Likewise people spread a lot of nonsense about some people in some place and that is what is challenged in these verses. Allah is telling mankind that purpose of his revelation is only and only guidance of mankind and not demonstration of his power in form of supernatural events. Such miraculous events serve no purpose in his scheme of things as already explained in detail. If anything they disprove any false claims about Allah. Allah is not dumb but wise and he decides matters wisely not foolishly by way of doing things haphazardly like a child. This Surah starts with verse that people should not divide by trying to dominate each other by undermining each other through make beliefs and useless rituals. However people always caused troubles to each other and this story is not any different from that. Unfortunately most of the Quran and the Hadith interpretations are based on nonMuslim make beliefs because that is where these people came from and brought their stories with them. Many of the reports attributed to the messenger of Allah were from Jewish writings which were themselves borrowed from pagan ideas that is why they misinterpreted Torah and Injeel as told by the Quran itself. The priesthood has been a very big factor in determining which way the masses go. So most of the Muslims are no wonder mentally ruled by their mullahs rather than the actual teachings of the Quran and authentic Ahadith of the prophet. However time is coming when people will wake up and see what the truth is for themselves. [10] At the time families of those mostly young people took refuge in an isolated place saying, our Creator and Sustainer, grant us blissful, dignified and secure existence in this place through proper understanding of information that is from Yourself and that way enable us to fulfil our mission properly. Word FITYAH is from root FAA, TAA and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root something full of life and energy. Also motivated, inspired, youthfulness, vigour, to formulate an opinion, counsel, consultation, to give an opinion, to advise, to seek guidance, to seek a legal ruling, to ask for an opinion or clarification, young man, male or female servant or slave, assistant or helper, aide, a male or a female under care of a guardian or management of an in charge or a superior in an office, man or women of the house or person responsible for the family, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. [11] That is how We isolated them from those who were after them for a number of years in the isolated valley to develop according to Our program cut off from a number of other traditions or ways of life, Word SINEEN is from roots SEEN, NOON and NOON; SEEN, NOON and HAA and SEEN, NOON and WOW. Already explained but it also means precedent, tradition, law, custom, constitution, culture, tooth or teething, age or year, blade, sharpening, handsome face, method of doing things, example, character, conduct, fish or something like fish in some sense, something firmly in place or established, something taken for granted or for reference, mountain, way of life, something influential, something that provides anchorage or stability etc etc. These verses are explaining how movement are started by people who want to put their communities on a different track from the one they are already on. Here the story is about a people who have learned the message of Allah and they are not happy with things the way their people are doing them ie their people are divided on basis of personal gains based way of life at the expense of each other so there has come about tension between people due to some people forcing poverty upon others by grabbing things for themselves from the weaker members of their population. These people therefore decide to move away from their people for a while to set-up their own community according to guidance of Allah. After living in isolation as a proper human community they became highly successful people as compared to the people they left behind. [12] this is how We raised them above their enemies to demonstrate which of the two parties could best account for the time they spent apart from each other. Here it is explained very clearly that no matter whatever way of life people adopt other than the one advised by Allah, they can never be as united, as peaceful, as progressive and as prosperous as the people who live faithfully according to way of life advised by Allah. This is how deen of Islam can be tested by a people to see if they know and follow the proper way of life properly or not. Looking at state of existence of Muslims today, it is not difficult at all to draw the conclusion that they are not following deen of Allah properly and the reason is they have no clue whatsoever what deen of Allah really is. They have become blind followers of their ignorant mullahs like sheep follow each other into a slaughterhouse. In fact just as people can test deen of Islam for its truth so can deen of Islam test them regarding their claim that they are truly following the proper deen of Islam. The question is, what do they know about the Quran and the way of life it advises for mankind? One can ask this question of oneself and see the result for oneself. Almost all of the Muslims are busy in life as it is not even bothered to spare a moment for giving a thought to the Quran and its teachings. This is how they gave opportunity to rulers, money lenders and mullahs to be their masters instead of Allah. To take back control from enemies of deen of Allah and humanity people will have to come back to the message of Allah and then follow its message through faithfully as explained by the Quran through stories like this. People need to start gathering together as a proper human community till they have become a huge human community anywhere and everywhere. As soon as they will those who use and abuse them will give up because they are just people like themselves and they use and abuse others by fooling them and if their fooling mechanism is exposed then that is the end of their game plan. This is why this verse tell us that After these people separated from their users and abusers, they became much better community than those whom they left behind. It is not necessary to migrate anywhere unless one is forced out of a country but that is how they found solution of their problems. All people need to do is try their best to make sense of the message of Allah and go around spreading the message and when people will become educated they will be taken over by the message because it is so powerful message. When most of the people decide to live by the way of life advised by Allah in a place then who can stop them from doing that? Even when people are not in great numbers still throwing people out of legal bounds is not good for anyone because people who are thrown out of a society can become a great ache for society to handle because they have needs and they will then fulfil them anyway they can without any legal constraints. Which society in its right mind wants a lot of people turned armed robbers making life of those people hell who have thrown them out for all the wrong reasons? So if a people have a good reason to back them up there is little any society can do to stop them from doing what they want to do. In case of deen of Islam, it is not possible for anyone to defeat it by reason or by use of armed struggle against it. This is why since Allah sent the very first messenger to mankind in form of Adam, humanity has been trying to fight off its old way of life based upon animal instinct. The less aware people were the more they acted on basis of reflexive reaction rather than a thoughtful response to what they did to each other but since the revelation of Allah has taught them to think before acting or responding to each other people have been changing their world bit by bit for the better and so it will carry on till all of the human world abides by deeb of Islam. [13] We are telling you their story for a set purpose. They were some families full of young people who committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity as a proper human community according to the guidance of their Creator and Sustainer because We raised in them better understanding of Our guidance towards which they worked very hard. [14] That is how We raised courage in their minds so that they rise up and declare among their people, our Creator and Sustainer is only He who sustains the heavens and the earth so we should not live by or accept rule of any claimant of sovereignty other than Him in this kingdom of the universe because if we did, we will carry on inflicting yet greater harms and destructions upon each other as a people than we already have. Word SHATATAA is from roots SHEEN, TWAA and TWAA; SHEEN, TWAA and NOON and SHEEN, YAA and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that goes beyond what is required in some sense. Also clever, expert, highly skilful, genius, giant, harmful and destructive, tyrant, oppressor, unjust, wicked, adversary, desperate, hopeless, confused, conspirator, evil genius, the one who deliberately misleads or deceiver, promoter of falsehood, imposter, the one who pretends to be what he is not, Also to increase in some sense in whatever activities one is already involved in, to go overboard, to go over the set limit, to inflict injustice, to move away from the way of life advised by Allah, to decline, to incline, tooth or something like tooth in some sense, mark or something like a mark in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, some thought or action that has serious consequences or implications, to be remote, to be far off or beyond the acceptable limits, side of a camels’ hump, bank or side of a river, to digress, to exceed due bounds, to act outrageously or extravagantly, deviation etc etc. Whenever a people start living by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other, people start getting hurt by each other which keeps increasing with time as powerful and clever people get more and more control over land and resources and means of production and distribution and more and more weak and ignorant people lose their control over land and resources and means of production and distribution. As the number of people who get hurt in this process increases concerns are raised and if nothing is done to undo things then things start getting from bad to worse. This also raises those people to say something about the situation who have access to guidance of Allah. So they start warning people and if their warning is not heeded then depending on what they can do they take the step which they think is right in their thinking. Same happened in case of these people that ultimately they decided to move away from their people when they were not listened to after they delivered some worthy lectures to them. [15] These people of ours have taken for rulers other than Him. If they have any right to do that then why don’t they put forth any convincing proof of their sovereignty? So who is more harmful and destructive for humanity than the one who denies sovereignty of Allah by attributing sovereignty to others in His kingdom? Attributing sovereignty of the universe or anything in it to anyone is a very dangerous thing to do because once people accept rule of people over people then they are free to use and abuse each other as they wish. In short it opens the door to all sorts of problems for humanity from which they can never escape. People say they love their future generations and they want to do what is good for them to ensure their well being as much as it is humanly possible for them to do. The question people need to ask themselves is, are they all not children of their past generations who said the very same thing yet it is their children who are cutting off each other’s necks. So obviously they did not think properly that is why they continued living by a way of life that was not good for them or their generations to come. If a person’s children or grandchildren or great grand children fight and kill each other will that not make that person very sad? Who knows all of one’s children will be powerful and clever than children of other people and that will be the case always? So if one lives by rule of weak and ignorant people have no right to blissful, dignified and secure existence through help of those who are strong and clever then how will he live with it concerning his own children and their future generations? How can such a person ensure well being of weaker members of his family or tribe or country? Someone somewhere has to draw a line, so why not accept deen of Allah and let guidance of Allah decide how people should live in order to have blissful, dignified and secure existence? Let people be people not Gods. [16] They said to each other that if we have taken a different way of life from these our people and their rulers then let us leave these people after denouncing or refusing to accept those whom they take for rulers other than Allah and take refuge in some remote place away from them, your Creator and Sustainer will shower you with His blessings through working according to His program for blissful, dignified and secure existence, that is how He will help you fulfil your potentialities and purpose of existence. These verses tell people that they must study message of Allah and then try and create a proper human community and thereby bring about a kingdom through broad-based support for it. If this idea is not supported in one place by a people then move to another place where people are bter aware or isolate yourselves from harmful and destructive elements and keep working hard till you are able to stand on your own feet and then take the message back to your people and bring the change for the better. According to the Quran, people with divine message have carried out their missionary work in different ways that suited their situations and circumstances the most. Some stayed and educated their people and succeeded in changing their societies, others could not convince enough people to re-organise society on a different footing so they were forced to leave instead to start elsewhere among some other people where they succeeded and yet others took refuge in some remote place and carried on till they could convince others because with time those people became better recipient of the message. What some of these Quranic surahs tell us is how the prophet was gradually educated to migrate from his place of birth to some other place where he could be more effective in conveying the message of Allah. This is why he not only spread message in his own place but also in places wherever he could even through visitors to his hometown. He organised missionary parties and sent them among communities wherever he thought fit. [17] And you people might be already aware of the fact that the brilliant light of guidance of Allah when it shines upon poverty stricken frightening state of existence of a people it brings them solutions of their problems to bring them out of this desperate situation due to their following it faithfully but it lets them remain in painfully sad state of existence if they avoid it by trying to distance themselves from accepting and following it properly. That is one of the many lessons from Allah, so he who is properly based upon guidance of Allah is guided properly but he who distances himself from it you will find him no proper guidance to assist him to the path that is proper for blissful, dignified and secure existence.

Either one is righteous or wrong doer. To be on the right side or the left side of a reference point in some sense. How does light of guidance of Allah shine on a people? It is either a case of someone calling them towards it or that they realise it in time once they have heard the call or invitation to it. This happens because people hear something but have no idea what it is about however learning continues so one day when they reach the stage of understanding of what they were told about a long time ago they come to know it as to what it actually meant and that is the time when the changes start happening in one’s mind and later start showing through one’s actions as well. As explained already the Quran is full of verses with various parallel but complementary meanings. In this verse the idea told about is that sun of fortune shines on those who properly work their way to their proper goal as a proper human community but sun of success remains distant from those who do things the wrong way for all the wrong reasons. The program of Allah brings prosperity if people understand it properly and use it for its purpose and those who turn their backs on it the sun of prosperity never shines upon them or goes down on them if they move away from it so they are left in darkness of their ignorance and poverty of all sorts in due course. The same is true in case of words right hand people and left hand people ie people who are on the right side of the proper law and the people who are on the wrong side of the proper law. In other words people who do things against the advice of Allah can never prosper ie they are an unfortunate people who miss the boat. So it is important that people learn words and their meanings based on concepts attached to them before they sit down to study the Quran. If they do not then they will end up with make beliefs like mullahs and become slaves to useless rituals and very confused looking for miracles to be saved from troubles in their lives. However, when they will go to rulers, money lenders and mullahs, they will only use and abuse them as usual instead of solving any of their problems. [18] Even though some of you may consider such people sensible but they are utterly confused, that is why we tried to effect change in their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours through guidance of Allah to make them a people who live by proper rule of law properly as a proper human community instead of being a lawless divided people, however their ruling elite in shape of rulers, money lenders and priests was fully alert guarding them to keep them under their control. If you became aware of the terrible results of their way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other as we are, you too will have turned away from their way of life seeking escape from their control due to fear of them.

Concrete meaning of this root is part of body from elbow to the tip of middle finger. Also forehand, a unit of measurement, a cubit, forelegs of a dog or four legged animal, something that is long and keeps moving forward growing in some sense, to have no capability to do something, to be limited in one’s capabilities or skills, something used as a protecting cover like a Trojan horse to attack something from behind the protection, something used as way or mean to reach the end, dextrous, power, pretext, endurance, head or something like head in some sense, chief, manager, controller, eye or something like an eye in some sense, guard, watchman, water source, support or assistance, door or something like a door in some sense, an obstacle etc etc. Word MULIT is from root MEEM, LAAM and ALIF. Concrete meaning of this root is to fill something with something fully. Also the amount with which something becomes filled fully, consultation, party, community, leader of a community, wealth people, people in positions of power, people who have all that they need, rulers, money lenders, priests and mullahs, chiefs, surfeit, capacity, notables, groups of people, pleasing sight, to back up, to connive, to fill up to capacity, to be rich, to gang up on someone, good character, the filling capacity of something, sufficient in quantity or dimension to fill something, the ruling elite, the elders, assembly, gathering, council, water or something like water in some sense, fluid, flowing, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, something inspiring or motivating, bull or something like a bull in some sense, stick, power , authority etc etc. [19] Such terrible was their state of existence from which We raised them through Our program to the powerful state of existence as a proper human community so that they could keep a check on their opponents to ensure their united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous existence continues. At length a party of their elders said to their youngsters, how long have you people been living in this valley? They said, we have been here for a long period of time or at least a good part of it. They said, your Creator and Sustainer knows exactly how long you people have been living here but think about when did you last send any envoys to other people to find out about them and call them to the way of life advised by Allah, so let a party of you be sent on a fact finding mission to the mother city of the kingdom we came from with this message of yours, and let it find out who has fared better we or those people we left behind so bring us some useful piece of information about this people so that we could judge the situation. Let the group conduct its affairs with caution and let it not behave in a way whereby others become alert of our presence among them and take us as their enemies. [20] Because if they discover you among them, they will stone you to death or force you to live by their traditions and customs and in that case you will never attain unity, peace, progress and prosperity ever. [21] But the very same way We let their message keep on spreading among their people after they left them so that they come to know that the promise of Allah is true and that there is no doubt about the coming of the moment of sudden uprising if people fail to take Our advised way of life seriously. At length after they left them the people of the township began arguing among themselves about their mission therefore some suggested, let us make them the basis and build our society upon their suggested foundation because it was their Creator and Sustainer that taught them. The people who were able to fulfil this task among them said, let us build according to them a proper kingdom with a chain of institutions based upon guidance of Allah for serving humanity. When messengers or missionaries of Allah move out or are forced out of a place by people through making things difficult for them yet message of Allah continues spreading among them because it is not something without which people could live. This is why no matter what people have been doing to missionaries of Allah and his messages they are still around in some form or the other. In other words humanity has failed to get itself rid of deen of Allah despite all its efforts against it. It is because the idea of God is central to human nature. Whether God advised deen or mazhab has been contended by people fiercely always. In this case missionaries thought that since they left their people so they will be in much worse state of existence than at the time they left them. However to their surprise they changed after the missionaries left and became like them instead. In other words these people did not forget the message the leavers preached among them and when things went bad to worse they realised what was wrong and took steps to change for the better and succeeded just like the missionaries. They too setup their kingdom in the name of Allah according to his guidance. Message of Allah has its own influencing power to conquer hearts and minds, all a people need to do is be a sensible people. These people set up a kingdom and its institutions to serve the people in the kingdom and they consulted each other how to do that and came to an agreement among themselves as a united proper human community. [22] Soon after them people ended up disputing about the kingdom and its institutions they put in place saying, the institutions put in place by them were three and the forth one was for their training or to keep a watch over the rest of their institutions. The others said, the institutions put in place by them were five and the sixth one was for their training or monitoring the functioning of their other institutions, and there were still others who said, the institutions put in place by them were seven and the eighth one was for their training or monitoring their rest of institutions to keep them in line. Say, my Creator and Sustainer alone makes known their number and purpose in due course but none save a few really pay attention to thing that way. So ponder not only about their number but their purpose as well so that things could become obvious to you and that is why you do not need to know anything about them from any of those who argue about them without having any information about their number or purpose.

However we are all in the same boat once again ie the kingdom that was put in place by the final messenger of Allah is long gone and ummah has become more and more stupid once more. Nonetheless, if people learned the Quran properly and taught it to each other properly, things could be turned round once more but only time will tell where ummat is heading and why. As for word KALB which is usually taken as dog here in this verse, the Quran is actually talking about institutions that are necessary for running a kingdom properly so among the rest an institution is also set-up for monitoring and feedback and correction of problems ie a watchdog. These institutions are taken as community serving institution that act as part of overall administration for various department of administration of the kingdom, local, provincial or national etc. The dispute was always the same just like today ie Muslims are fighting over whether Islam is a deen or a mazhab and if it is a deen then what does that mean and if it is a mazhab then what does that mean. It is for this reason people worship KAABA in MAKKAH having no sense what it was for ie a place as a centre for command and control when prophet Abraham brought about a kingdom in the name of Allah. Some go as far back in time as prophet Adam but it does not matter who build it or used it but the purpose it served for the kingdom. Worship is not part of deen of Islam. What people take as SALAAH is in fact reiteration or reconfirmation of declaration of covenant before God that we will live by his rule of law and not take anyone else as a ruler for ourselves to live by his dictated rule of law. So a MASJID is not a place of ritual worship but an office from which administration fulfils its duties to community at large. If one could understand it, this is a very serious dispute by its very nature because if people look at Islam as a religion then the whole cause of deen of Islam becomes ineffective and useless as already explained. Rulers, money lenders and mullahs always turned deen of Allah into a system of make beliefs and rituals and used it as a tool for manipulation of masses. This is why the Quran is telling people how deen of Allah is established at times and how it is gotten rid of and so things keep turning good and bad depending upon by which way of life people decide to live their lives during any particular period of time. This is why mullahs have no idea what the Quran is talking about because they learn and teach the Quran as a book of make beliefs and some useless rituals. [23] Therefore you should not say like them, I will certainly do this or that or the other as a future plan of action Word GHADAA is from root GHAIN, DAAL and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is time between early dawn and sunrise. Also early morning, in the future, future, tomorrow, the day after today, in the early hours, later on, outward trip, the act of going out, a trip abroad, the morning, midday meal, eye or anything like an eye in some sense, vision, future plan, to keep an eye on something or someone, to guard, door or anything like a door in some sense, a way to something, an action plan for achieving an end, a future plan of action, ladder, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crooked, twisted, deceptive, something for hanging something upon for some reason, something or someone reliable or trustable etc etc. In this verse people are told not to make any action plan for the future that is not according to the revealed will of Allah. [24] but only that which is in accordance with program of Allah! That is how you should demonstrate the glory of your Creator and Sustainer for people to see through establishing a blissful, dignifying and secure life providing kingdom unless you forget this advice but even then when you remember Our advice say to people, my Creator and Sustainer will guide me ever closer in due course to what is proper way of handling all affairs regarding setting up and running a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. The story is told in the Quran so that people who accept the message of the Quran do the same what creators of the kingdom did in the name of Allah with help of his guidance in this story. It should also be clear from all this that Allah has set up systems and laws to work as they do and nothing happens magically or miraculously. People get a message from Allah and then they need to judge it and then live by it once they are satisfied with it but they cannot judge it properly unless they have learned things properly using their brains, senses, bodies, and provisions. The whole idea hangs on the hook of what people learn from their life experiences. Deepest and widest life experience is guaranty of proper understanding about things. Ignorant, illiterate, uneducated and unthinking people therefore are not expected to accomplish much in their lives. They are simply put animals in forms of human beings. [25] It was due to their ignoring Our advised way of life for generations these people remained in their terrible state of existence for supporting hearsay based way of life and increasingly building their society upon that tradition. Word MIAH is from root MEEM, ALIF and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to grow to full potential. Also to exaggerate, to come into leaf, to become enlarged, to backbite, to increase in size, to grow, to build a reputation, a century, one hundred years, to spread the hide or skin, to cause differences or dissentions or disputes or divisions among people, water or something like water in some sense, something that flows or moves or changes with time, time, world, universe, something that fulfils or satisfies some need or purpose, bull or something like a bull in some sense, authority or power or staff, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power, grasp, control, deception etc etc. It takes a long time for nations to rise and fall and the cycle keeps repeating itself though each time with more and more people getting involved due to previous traditions that help the movement succeed at a bigger scale. A people in a place built themselves up from scratch to become a better nation than others and then things slow down and stop and reverse till a new cycles starts. It all happens because the way of life advised by Allah is first taken up and when things are fine it is given up and things go back to what they were to an extent, which triggers new beginning again and again. Although people are told not to ignore or neglect way of Allah but people do for one reason or another as already explained. Even today the Quranic message is there but ummah is nowhere near its advised way of life for it. People have fallen away from deen of Allah into traps of make beliefs and useless rituals calling it Islam. [26] Therefore say to your people regarding these people that Allah clearly makes known why they remained in terrible state of existence that they did because He is the One Who in due course lets mankind become aware of things in the heavens and the earth therefore understand things through His vision and do things according to His guidance! So your people must come to know that they have no basis for their blissful, dignified and secure existence other than relying upon His set-up systems and laws as explained because they have no supporter other than His guidance and there is none who could share with them similar advice in this kingdom of the universe. Allah keeps telling mankind that the way of life advised by him is the only way to brilliant future of humanity and anything other way of life people adopt can never deliver them what Allah intends to deliver them through his advised way of life. Nonetheless people keep stepping aside from his advice yet they put all the blame for their own wrong doings to each other on their creator and sustainer. This is surely not proper use of his provided brain and senses as well as rest of provisions. It is not important for Allah that people accept guidance of Allah but for people themselves otherwise they will keep wandering about forever looking for something that is not there. [27] This is why you should become and remain consistent with what is being revealed to you the people as the book of your Creator and Sustainer, none has the power to change His set-up systems and laws for fulfilment of His plan for His set purpose so no matter how hard you try you cannot find a way of life to protect you from your harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours against each other save His guidance that stops you from harbouring harmful and destructive ambitions and desires against each other. [28] So O you the messenger, be steadfast yourself and keep working hard from morning till night along with those who rely upon set-up universal systems and laws of their Creator and Sustainer and invite others to it seeking fulfilment of His set goal for them therefore let not your eyes turn away from the goal and working along them desiring personal gains at their expense against Our guidance like people without any solid foundation, so never favour any such person whose mind is free from paying attention to Our set out goals and provided guidelines for mankind and who follows his own make beliefs therefore breaks all bounds that ensure well being of humanity while conducting his affairs. Word FURUTAA is from root FAA, RAA and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to move something away from its proper place. Also to win over others, to beat rivals in a race, to move others out of the way to win by cheating, to compete fairly or unfairly in a race or some task, to go beyond the set mark or limits of decency, to transgress, a fast horse that leaves the rest far behind in a race, to compete for good or bad, to fall short of one’s responsibility or requirement or a set standard, to become stuck or stagnant in a situation or state of existence, to fall short of developing to the full potential, to precede, to be at the forefront of, to be in excess, to neglect, to inadvertently allow something to escape, to hasten and do something harmful or destructive, to do something without proper reflection or thinking that results in harm or destruction of someone or something, to be careless, to be remiss, to be wasteful with, to fail to act in a proper way, to leave out, to overlook, to neglect, to abandon, to waste, shortcoming, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, blow, scatter, edge, head or something like a head in some sense, first, top, beginning, chief, a mark or something like a mark in some sense, sign, signal, landmark etc etc. [29] Therefore make it clear to all that this Quran serves the purpose of proof from your Creator and Sustainer for what is true and what is false and what is right to do and what is wrong to do, so let him who commits to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity do so for his own security and let him who commits to working for rifts and wars between mankind do so towards his own harm and destruction. For such as inflict harm and destruction upon each other We have put in place systems and laws to deliver them consequences of their own harmful and destructive thoughts actions so in time they are bound to end up in fire of hatred whose flames will surround them like the walls of a tent. As this stage will arrive they will look for freedom from this situation because the consequences of their thoughts and actions against each other will drown them fully as a people into sea of harm and destruction. What a dreadful way to learn the lesson and what a terrible way to live as a human population. Word SURAADIQ is from root SEEN, RAA, DAAL and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is thick smoke that covers the ground. Also a tent that covers the courtyard of the house or a wall that surrounds an area of land, dust that rises in a windy storm that covers the ground, anything that covers an area like a tent, tent, awning, pavilion, a cover of fire or smoke or dust like a tent, a tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, custom, way of life, tradition, constitution, law, head or something like head in some sense, chief, command and control centre, door or something like a door, ladder, controlled entry and exit, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, clever, cunning, mischievous, condense, circle, time etc etc. Word MUHL is from root MEEM, HAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is a metal or something like a metal in some sense. Also copper, iron, silver, gold, tin, a metal in fluid form or molten metal, tar, heated dirty oil, ease of manner, self recollection, to act or proceed in a deliberate manner, to tarry, to give respite, to grant a delay, to bear with, to collapse, avalanche, oil dregs, to let something be, to be patient, molten brass, boiled oil dregs, molten tar, tranquillity, ease, tender heartedness, soft, to let loose, to not to hurry in doing something, to remain calm, to have courage, to move forward for doing something good, fast mover, quick in stepping forward for doing something, the time gap between an action and its outcome, poison, live coal or ember, something red hot, volcanic lava, melting away of power or wealth, loss of prestige or strength, water or anything like water in some sense, something that satisfies some need or serves some purpose, window or something like a window in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense etc etc. Word YASHWEE is from root SHEEN, WOW and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to burn something. Also to roast, roasted meat, to heat up water, skin on the body of a person, something irrelevant or unimportant or worthless, to make something useless, to burn out something, to disgrace one by taking away everything of worth from a person that gives one dignity or life worth living, to render one totally powerless and disabled, something useless or has no value, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. Word MURTAFAQAA is from root RAA, FAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is elbow. Also ease, facility, to take something easy, to tie the foreleg of a she-camel to prevent it from running away, to slow down or stop something from travelling in some sense, to rely on the elbow, a pivotal joint, the rope with which the foreleg of a she-camel is tied to its hind leg to slow it down or hold it back from travelling or running away, a party or group of people who are travelling together to same destination, to agree or be agreeable or compatible, to come together out of likeness or sharing of a task or goal, something upon which one relies, a foundation or base upon which one stands, to be properly balanced on something so that one does not fall off it during the journey, a company in which people travelling together ensure all reach destination safely with help and support of each other, to lean on, to seek support, companion, to support oneself, husband , wife, to accompany, utilities, victuals, to be kind, to be gentle and compassionate, assistance, aid, solution, help, way out, couch, armchair, cushion, a comfortable place, head or something like a head in some sense, control centre, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense etc etc. This verse raises a very important point that blissful, dignified and secure life for all individuals rests upon themselves as a proper human community and that is not possible unless individuals properly understand the real world realities and through that the guidance of Allah and then follow it faithfully. So long as people will shut their eyes to the outside world and each other they will make life of each other hell through insecurity they inflict upon each other by living on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other. It is because when people look at each other as predators then who can feel secure from others? If none feel secures from others then how can such people create stable human society? If there is no stable human society then how can people make real progress and prosper? The result is that case is a world full of stupid people who are always looking for excuses to wage wars on each other to loot and plunder each other for as long as they can. This is why such a way of life is not good for humanity to live by if their aim is to creating a beautiful world for themselves. Allah expect people to be human beings and not worse than all living creatures because he created people to be best of all the creatures that is why he gave them brains and senses and guidance. [30] That is why those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind work hard to remove dissentions from between mankind so We do not let go to waste their efforts instead We reward them with better rewards than the best of their deeds in form of improved world order and a beautiful world. [31] They are the ones for whom there will be kingdoms full of raw materials to make things from of their needs and desires so therein will flow things of their need and desire like rivers. That is how therein they will be surrounded with things of value and they will be covered in prosperity all year round as if they are covered by clothes made of green silk that shines. That is the degree of blissful, dignified and secure existence they will rise to, what an excellent outcome for thoughts and actions of such people and what a beautiful way of life they will live by as a proper human community. Word ADN is from root AIN, DAAL and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is raw materials. Also metals, minerals, living things including plants and animals, all things that can be used to make things from by human beings by way of research and exploration, to gain knowledge or awareness about something through discovery and exploration, to mine for materials, to search or look for materials and to find out their uses, to dig out information about things or to dig out actual things, mine or search for information, place of permanent residence, to settle in, group of people, paradise, everlasting, permanent, something that is sitting in something waiting to be discovered, eye, or something like an eye in some sense, guardian, to guard, to keep an eye upon something, to have something in mind or to uncover something to see it in reality, to focus on something for some reason, spring, new beginning, water well or source, help, assistance, door or something a like door in some sense, controlled entry and exit, to open the door to something, to discover something new in some sense, fish or snake or something like a fish or snake in some sense, something that helps humanity develop and make progress etc etc. Word ASAAWIR is from roots SEEN, RAA and WOW; SEEN, RAA and YAA; SEEN, WOW and RAA and SEEN, YAA and RAA.

[32] For that reason share with people this story as an example to help people understand the difference between two ways of life. Once there were two people with two different mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. To one of them We had given two gardens of grapevines surrounded with palm-trees and put between them land for cultivating crops. [33] Each of those gardens yielded abundant produce and neither failed to yield its best because We had caused a river to flow between the two gardens. [34] Because one had abundant produce he said to his fellow man while arguing with him, I am much richer than you and my clan is much mightier than yours. [35] He had his mindset, attitude and behaviour founded upon personal gains based way of life at the expense of each other instead of Our advised way of life that leads to brotherhood so having thus based himself wrongly as regard his outlook on life he entered his garden and said, I do not think that this garden will ever perish [36] nor do I think the moment will arrive in my life when I am weak and poor and even if I should be referred for judgment according to standard of my Creator and Sustainer, I should be given better than what I already have. [37] His fellow man in reply of his argument said to him, do you disregard the way of life advised by Allah Who brought you about like plants from the earth due to seed and fashioned you into a proper human being? [38] As far as I am concerned, Allah is the only one Who is my Creator and Sustainer so I do not live by rule of law of anyone in His kingdom other than His own. [39] So what prevents you from expressing yourself according to that which fulfils plan and purpose of Allah when you enter your garden, after all none has the right to rule this kingdom of the universe other than Allah! Though you see me lesser than yourself in wealth and children [40] yet my Creator and Sustainer may enable me to have a garden better than yours and let thunderbolts from sky fall upon your garden turning it into a barren wasteland. [41] Or its water may dry out and you are unable to get it back. [42] In time it so happened that all his fruit produce was destroyed and the vines tumbled down upon their trellises so he wrung his hands with grief because all that hard work he had put in this was lost. He cried regretfully, I wish I had not lived in opposition to the way of life that was advised by my Creator and Sustainer for a proper human community. [43] That is how he ended up regretting his opposition to guidance of Allah - that advised mankind to help and support each other fully as a proper human community – due to not being able to avert the catastrophe all by himself but then when bad time came for him he could not find help other than from Allah through His guidance and his proper human community. [44] It was then that he realized that blissful, dignified and secure existence for humanity comes only through guidance of Allah and working together of mankind as a single family according to His program which brings best results because it brings abundant prosperity in its wake. In these verses it is made very obvious that all things happen as per set-up systems and laws of Allah so mankind have no choice but to live by way of life that is advised by Allah because it is the only way of life that can ensure well being of mankind. If anything happens and anyone goes down then community is there for him to pull him back up again to help one stand on one’s feet again. The Quran does teach self reliance but in sense of community based life. Live to serve community and if ever need be community is all yours to serve all your needs. It gives one tremendous self confidence and emotional stability. It takes away anxiety and worries about future when an individual has such reliable sources ie guidance from God and full support of human community for sure. It is because people live for each other, it can motivate people to much higher degree than any other way of life and that can easily result in higher production and that means better and much more distribution of goods and services without feeling or having any pressure on mind or body. [45] O messenger, explain for those who live aimless lives by an example about life of this world. It is like the vegetation on the earth that flourishes with rain from the clouds but afterwards the same vegetation turns into dry stubble which is blown away by the winds. However living by program of Allah gives mankind power over everything because Allah has put in place measure as set-up systems and laws for governing all affairs regarding all things. [46] The wealth of power hungry individuals and their sons are only a short lived attractions for such low lives who thrive on rivalries and animosities based on divisions among mankind for personal gains at the expense of each other but removal of conflicts, dissensions and rifts from among mankind secures and therefore prolongs blissful and dignified existence of mankind that is greatly rewarding according to guidance of your Creator and Sustainer and acts as a solid foundation bringing hope for better and brilliant future for mankind. The Quran in verses like these condemns individualism based on wealth and families where by such people divide humanity and make life hell for a huge population of mankind throughout the world. It is only a momentary pride but has no lasting benefits for mankind as a proper human community. This is a clear condemnation of negative competition between people. The Quran does not allow anyone to compete for domination over others by undermining them for personal wealth and power at the expense of each other among people. However it encourages positive competition whereby each person tries to outdo others for the betterment of the proper human community. This helps people stay mentally and physically fit and do better for each other as a brotherhood. This is why democracy if it is based upon proper Islamic foundation then it is fine otherwise it is condemned. In other word divisions between people are fine for organisational and regulatory purposes to get thing done properly but for purpose of negative discrimination against each other due to various prejudices and biases they are not allowed. [47] So O mankind, prepare yourselves for the time of that kind of life so that We help you remove the people in positions of power who keep others down through creating divisions based upon personal gains at the expense of each other so that you could see politically, economically and religiously divided landscape evened out throughout the world. That is how in time We will unite mankind all together as a single community under Our rule of law leaving not a single person on his own. This verse should leave none in doubt that it is not for Allah to make our world a better place magically but that he has provided people with his plan to understand it properly and work according to it to make their own world a beautiful place for themselves by themselves. A very clear message indeed so those who are still looking to Allah for supernatural intervention need to start learning sense, particularly slaves of mullahs who fool them in the name of Allah and his message due to ignorance and foolishness of masses themselves. Therefore people need to get education to have the ability to think for themselves so that they could question nonsense pushed on masses by foolish mullahs. [48] That is how they all will be brought under rule of law of your Creator and Sustainer according to program of your Creator and Sustainer fully organised and regulated in clearly marked departments for administration purposes and so it will be made known to them, you have returned to Our rule of law as We set you up at the beginning at the time of Adam yet some of you assumed that We will not fulfil to you Our this promise. Allah revealed his rule of law to his first messenger Adam the very first time and told him to set-up a kingdom in his name according to it, which he did but people after him kept going back to their old way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other so Allah kept sending more and more messengers till he stopped sending any more messengers after Muhammad the final messenger and left it up to them to bring about the worldwide kingdom based on his guidance in form of the Quran like the last exemplary kingdom that was brought about by the last messenger. The Quran keeps telling us that such a kingdom will come about once humanity becomes educated enough for this purpose, so it is a long way away it seems by looking at ignorance and stupidity that is prevalent in the world today but it can come about within a generation or two if people gave education a real good push throughout the world therefore it is very difficult to estimate how long more it will take people to establish rule of law in this world that is revealed by Allah. It is basically up to people who want such a kingdom as to how hard they work for it through spreading the proper message of the Quran and how fast people accept that message and join in this struggle. [49] That is how the rule of law according to Our book will become a reality and you the mankind will see rulers, money lenders and mullahs who commit crimes against masses in great anguish because of what is in Our book. That is why they will say, bad news for us, what kind of book is this? It left out not a thing needed for mankind to live a blissful, dignified and secure life whether small or large but all is accounted for yet we ignored it and lived as we liked! They will find results of all that they did against the way of life advised by Our book before their very eyes because Your Creator and Sustainer never advises people to inflict harms and destructions upon each other. This is a reminder that mankind were put on the right path a very long time ago with help of Adam but Iblees managed to destroy things that were set-up and even after things were put on the right track at the time things have been going the wrong way ever since again and again so man has been trying to regain entry to that kind of kingdom but never was able to ever since save creating such kingdom at a smaller scale. However this situation is about to change because mankind are seeing problems that are result of adopting their own way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other so at one point they are bound to look for alternative way of life which awaits them. [50] Call to mind the time when We suggested to the chiefs in the land through Adam, follow Our advised way of life along with Adam and all of them accepted save Iblees. He was one of those who acted differently therefore he went his own way instead of following the way of life advised by his Creator and Sustainer. Will you then take his and his supporters’ way of life to ensure your well being instead of My guidance even though they thereby cause divisions among you? What a bad substitute for those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other. Word JINN does not mean some invisible beings with supernatural powers as mullahs will have us believe because even if there were such beings whom we could never know then what will be the point in telling about them to us human beings? We only need to know about things that we can interact with and can know them in due course. Moreover putting blame on such beings for our wrong doings solves no problem. If such beings cannot interact with us then they can do us no harm nor can we do any harm to them because only and only if we could interact then we could influence each other and in that case they will no longer be invisible or undetectable for us human beings. So it is a clear proof of mullahs’ imaginations that they have been making up stories as they went along without any research or exploration. Ignorant and foolish people accept their nonsense and suffer the consequences for being fools in their hands. The main question is, how did mullahs managed to interpret word JINN with invisible supernatural beings? The main point is that humans could not have invented words for things that they did not interact with in their own environment. The fact that people invented word JINN means that this word was originally used for something visible and interactive with human beings. A clear proof that mullahs have been deliberately misleading people about things and this is one of their stupidities. [51] I did not take their advice regarding the creation of the heavens and the earth or regarding their own creation nor it is fitting for Me that I should take those who mislead each other from My advised way of life as My supporters. Word ADUDAA is from root AIN, DWAAD and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that facilitates something. Also arm or part of arm from elbow to shoulder, assistance, support, worker, strength, power, extension, reach, facility, cooperation, door stop, eye or something like an eye in some sense, spring, new beginning, water well, something under tension, something full of energy, guardianship, keeper, door or something like a door in some sense, controlled entry or exist, a mechanism to facilitate controlled entry or exist, a way or mean to something etc etc. [52] However one day when Our advised way of life becomes properly established in the world, it will be said to people like them, invite people to the way of life of those whom you considered My equals but they will find no adherents for it. That is because We let divisions, rivalries, animosities, hatred and wars arise and increase among them because of harms and destructions they inflict upon each other for personal gains. Word MOWBIQAA is from root WOW, BAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to put an obstacle in the way of something to stop it from continuing. Also defeat , destruction, damage, imprisonment, something that stands between two things to keep them separate in some sense or hold them back from each other, to be killed or defeated or destroyed, thoughts and actions that lead to harm and destruction, divisions, rivalries, animosities, hatred, rage, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crookedness, house, or something like a house in some sense, family or community, shelter, refuge, way of life, custom, monkey or something like a money in some sense, agile, clever, cunning, deceptive, mischievous, shameful act, grave offence, to humiliate, to end in ruin, to detain, to perish, separation, partition, unbridgeable gulf or gap, a place of destruction etc etc. [53] The criminals will see the fire of hatred they themselves have been igniting and realize that they are going to fall victims to it and going to be consumed by it but will find no way to escape. [54] We have put forth all kinds of explanations and examples in this Quran to help mankind understand things properly yet man is baselessly contentious about many things. [55] Though nothing is actually there to stop people from committing to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind especially because new guidance of their Creator and Sustainer has come to them for their protection through a program for their prosperity unless they await the similar fate that overtook the people of the past or unless they await to see themselves in a terrible painful suffering before they realise the truth of this message. [56] We do not send Our messengers but for proclaiming good news about blissful, dignified and secure existence for those who will do things to help each other develop, progress and prosper and to deliver warnings for those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains, but with self defeating arguments the rejecters and opponents of Our guidance seek to defeat this truth and that is the reason they take Our set out goals and provided guidelines as well as warnings for them for a joke. [57] Who is more harmful and destructive than the party who when reminded of the guidelines of its Creator and Sustainer, turns away from them ignoring the results of whatever harms and destructions its own hands have done to each other? We let the veil of their ignorance based arrogance remain over their minds and senses because they are not bothered with proper understanding of this Quran so they have become heedless. Call them all you like towards Our guidance, they will never be guided because they will keep on ignoring Our message. [58] Your Creator and Sustainer is protector of mankind because He is Provider of blissful and dignifying program for them. Had He seized people instantly for their individual wrong doings against each other then He will have hastened their consequences without any delay but instead He has set-up a time gap for their actions and the outcome of those actions after which they can find no refuge. The way Allah has set-up systems and laws regarding actions and their results, they are either instant or delayed. The delay varies in length of time. [59] All those nations whom We left to destroy themselves they destroyed themselves through inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains even though We gave them a period of time to go for their own safety and security or destruction. [60] Call to mind when Moses said to a party of his supporters, I will not give up making effort until I get two masses of people fighting each other to come together as a proper human community even if I have to spend ages on this journey.

The meeting of two seas is actually meeting of two groups of people who were separated by political and religious divide by the respective leaderships. [61] At last when they both reached an agreement upon unity between them, they gave up all their trickery and deception against each other because he found them a way to unity through this crisis and confusion.

Word JAAWAZAA is from root JEEM, WOW and ZAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to cross a river. Also to land across a river safely, to solve problems successfully, to journey beyond a reference point, the new beginning, to progress beyond a point on a journey, to go further from a point, to leave something behind when on a journey, to move on, to cut, to separate, to depart, to forgive one’s wrong doings, to over look one’s mistakes or wrong doings, to be cut something in the middle, the middle or centre of something, the high way, donation, gift, things needed for the journey, crossroads, to cut one way with another, beam, to cross, to traverse, crossing, to allow, to pass off, to help cross, to pardon, to disregard, to reward, to award, prize, to pass by, to leave behind, to go further, to pass over, camel or something like a camel in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, tool or weapon or something like a tool or weapon in some sense, to cross a sea of problems, to solve or overcome a huge problem or a huge number of problems, to offer a huge number of solutions for some problem etc etc. 63] One of the people in the community said, are you people aware as to what happened to us to be in this state of existence whereas we were a proper human community firmly based upon a solid foundation of guidance of Allah? At length we became unaware about the life securing guidance of Allah as well as we were unaware about it only because we were prevented from becoming aware about it by our harmful and destructive leadership in form of rulers, money lenders and priests, that is how the leadership through its tricky and deceptive way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other landed us into a sea of problems due to our lack of alertness and proper awareness about things. Word SAKHRAH is from root SWAAD, KHAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a huge solid rock. Also something rock solid in some sense, hard stone, a sound when iron is struck with iron, a solid ideological foundation upon which something is built firmly eg a community based upon guidance of Allah, custom or constitution or law, a way of life, a culture, a strong foundation upon which is build a firm structure of some sort, to hit something hard on something hard, a deafening sound, a disaster or catastrophe, an uprising or upheaval or bloody revolution, a disaster that renders one senseless or confused, the sound of weaponry during fight or war, a very loud cry, to pierce, calamity, a cry or sound that deafens by its vehemence, a plant or something like a plant in some sense, destination, path, trail, journey, hunt, fishing hook or something like a fishing hook in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, chief, controller, manager, trail of movement, sign of life, some refuge or shelter from danger etc etc. People of Israel were left in a very good state of existence by Joseph in Egypt but due to their slackness in maintaining their state of existence they fell victim to their current state of existence over a period of time. Moses when he came along found them seriously divided among themselves so he tried to bring them back together as a single people and he succeeded in doing that. In this verse the reason is explained as to how things came to this. The problem is not that none of the people knew guidance of Allah but that such people who knew things were marginalised by rulers, money lenders and mullahs to prevent masses from knowing things that could end the monopoly of these people. This is why they ensure by way open to them to prevent that from happening using their tricks and mechanisms. [64] Moses said, that is the state of existence we are looking for and that is how the divided groups of people retraced their steps back to unity. That way the reversal of the process of divisions and disunity led them back to unity. Word NABGHI is from root BAA, GHAIN and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to go overboard. Also to break the limit, to transgress the set boundary, a shoot, an unripe fruit, to facilitate, to earn one’s living, to seek something, to go after something, to strive, a main or slave girl, to commit adultery, to practice prostitution, to wish or desire for something, to covet, to go over the limits, to violate the limits, to want something, to act outrageously, to be possible or attainable, to accept or admit to one thing or the other when a choice is put before one to decide a matter, to endeavour, to seek in earnest, to be worthy of or fitting for something, to cause something to be, tyranny, outrageous behaviour, infringement of rights of others, going beyond the acceptable, unchaste, loose character, to pursue something, house or something like a house in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. Just as a people by undoing steps of unity end up divided so by undoing steps that lead them to divisions can lead them to unity. [65] All this became possible because they found one of Our subjects whom We blessed with blissful, dignifying and life securing information from Us and whom We gave intelligence from Us for handling various affairs regarding a community and a kingdom based upon Our guidance. This man was just another human being but he had learned the wisdom that could help Moses better understand the program of Allah so that he could explain it to others better. This man did not have to be a messenger of Allah just because his knowledge comes from God (because all knowledge comes from God as he provided man with brain and senses and body and all the necessities of learning about thing) but an important man nevertheless as regard running affairs of a nation or kingdom. Moses was raised in the house of Pharaoh but all he could learn in there was his way of looking at the world and his own parents were not able to raise him for the great mission he was to handle. It is because they were enslaved people. So he was sent to Madyan where he got married to a daughter of a prophet who educated him as well because he lived there for several years after he left Egypt. The idea that prophet only learns from God is not the right idea because he learns from his own experience like other kids and adults. Nowhere the Quran gives prophet any ability other than his abilities as a human being. What raises him to prophethood is his mindset, attitude and behaviour that gives him lead on any other human being at the time when he is at the height of his personality. He is a person who becomes aware of all tricks and mechanisms of his opponents and knows how to go about overcoming them. He is a best member of society, a best politician, a best economist and a best man of God all in one. That is why he is able to unite people. So thinking that someone is a teacher of a prophet so he must be something greater than a prophet is a nonsense in light of the Quran and real world realities. This is how mullahs’ make beliefs are exposed by the Quran by bringing the actual facts to attention of people. A messenger of Allah is born a baby and grows into an adult like other children so he learns how to talk and behave from his parents, relatives and society till he becomes better aware of things than his own parents, relatives and society and other people. He is sent message by Allah only when he is ready for it and that then guides him further on from where he is to help him become more aware and alert about things so that he helps others do the same to start a missionary movement to fix his society by getting rid of all its ills. [66] Moses requested him, can you accept me in your company for a time so that you could teach me also the wisdom that you have been taught yourself for dealing with affairs of community and kingdom? [67] He said, certainly but you may find difficulty in keeping up with things the way I see them. The point made here by the wise man is very important to understand ie one is not fit for leading people if he has no patience to listen to others and wait for their explanations of their problem and their solutions for their problems etc. Since Moses was raised in house of Pharaoh, he had that kind of approach to things and this man is pointing out what is wrong with that sort of approach to things. The point made in above verses is that he could unite his divided community because he met this man who taught him some things that helped him do that. [68] and how can you see things my way when you have not acquired all necessary information about them the way I have? Before a prophet is put in place for his prophetic duties by God he is put through learning processes just like any other person though such a person has keen interest in learning about things that matter for Godly mission. It is due to this he came across a person from whom he learned a lot of wisdom before he himself received call from God. It is important to note that revelation based information cannot be understood even by a messenger of God without already having the needed experience based information and its understanding. Revelation is simply information that needs to be made sense of and then used. Sense comes from learning process involving brain and senses and interaction with things. The purpose of Godly revelation is guidance of people who have already learned the sense to make sense of information about things. If a child memorises the Quranic text, he will not be able to make sense of it till he is grown up with sufficient life experiences that he can understand what the text in his memory is about. The only difference is that in case of a messenger of Allah the text is put in his mind by God himself rather than the prophet memorising it from someone else. The point I am making here is that a divine messenger is just another human being but God speaks to him in some way about which mankind have not made any discoveries yet and may never do because there are no more prophets from Allah to question them about their such experiences. So revelation for the time being is just as mysterious stuff as the creation of the universe. None can say anything for certain about them so far but that may not be the case for ever as people learned both from real world realties and the revelation of Allah. People are on journey of discovery so who knows when such difficult human questions may find their answers. [69] Moses said, soon you will find me consistent with you if you will do things according to the plan of Allah and I will not do anything against your task or mission to jeopardize it. A very important point is made here also that prophets do not learn without going through trial and error process. So thinking that prophets do not make mistakes is nonsense. A prophet of Allah being a human being has to learn how to use his brain, his eyes, ears, hands and feet etc etc. In doing so he makes similar errors as any other human being and perfects his skills in due course. That is why a prophet is also born like any other child rather than being dropped from sky as a grown up man knowing all like a fully programmed robot. If that was the case then why would God argue with people who were thinking along those lines ie that a prophet has to be something very different from human beings? Mullahs have put far too many nonsense things in minds of people through their imaginary stories. This is why people need to read the Quran and the Hadith properly instead of mullahs’ nonsense make belief based imaginary stories. [70] He said, if you wish to accompany me then you are not to question me about anything I do but wait till I myself bring you an explanation about it. [71] So they set off on a journey of discovery till they came upon a community in a township that was living peacefully so he made them dig a trench around the city for isolating it. Moses said, you have made people to dig a trench around the city to drown its people. You have done a terrible thing. This verse can be interpreted in various ways along with verse 79 but it is all about a community and its protection in some way from a tyrant who is hell bent on looting a settled people in order to loot and take some of them for slaves. The way it is protected could be anything from building a wall of guards around the city of some sort or digging a trench around it to fill it with water or fuel to set it alight if attacked. The whole idea is to make access to it very difficult for any would be tyrant or plunderer so that the community remains safe. Whatever is done it looked objectionable or senseless to Moses because to him it looked the opposite of what was good. This security measure was such that it did not affect the people of the city because it was like a perforation around a page of postage stamps after it was completed. If it was a wall, it was also full of gates and if guards were deployed then they too were at a distance from each other on watchtowers, so it did not need many people on guard. The other thing this verse tells us is knowledge of this person whom Moses accompanied ie he was not a ruler or a money lender or a mullah but truly a man of knowledge who could run a kingdom if need arose and he was given the responsibility to do so. Knowing such things was necessary for Moses if he was to face Pharaoh in due course. All messengers of Allah were a bunch of very wise people but they were born ignorant just as any other people and became learned because they made efforts to know things properly unlike many other people who see no point in learning things so they remain ignorant all their lives about such important things and it does not bother them at all. It is due to people staying ignorant, illiterate, uneducated and unthinking that our world is the way it is. No educational institutions are build according to actual needs of human population and even that are built are not used properly by people. Children are not bothered to turn up in schools and parents are not really bothered with education of their own children. Nobody wants to make needed effort and do hard work yet all want everything there is and if they do not get it they blame it on others instead of questioning their own motives and excuses. All this is sign of insincere people, so no wonder the world is the way it is. Word RAKIBAA is from root RAA, KAAF and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to ride on something. Also to survive on basis of something or to rely or depend upon something for survival, to come upon or come across or meet, to make use of something to get from one place to another or from one state of existence to another, to make use of things to continue living or to stay alive, to ride a camel or horse or boat or some means of transportation, head of something like a head in some sense, palm of hand or something like a palm of hand in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense, to land on something, to land in some situation etc etc. Word SAFEENAH is from root SEEN, FAA and NOON.

Concrete meaning of this root is gulf. Also to widen or open up a gap, to make a hole, to break or mess up things, to dig a deep and wide trench to prevent access to a place for some purpose, to make the access difficult or hard by creating a gap or difference between two things, to make do with whatever is there already in time of need, to render useless or defective, to facilitate, to enable or render capable, to pierce, to perforate, to isolate or separate or cut off, to invent or improvise or forge, to make use of whatever is available at the time of need through using the wisdom one already has, to feign, to lie, to erect a wall around a city for its protection, to be foolish or ignorant or stupid, to be confused or unaware or unconscious, to falsely attribute something to someone, to accuse, to slander, to tear or break something as if senselessly or madly, to act insanely, to invent a lie, to be a liar, to lie a lot, to do something against the custom or norm or law or tradition, to do something against the law of nature, miracle, a supernatural act, magic, head or something like a head in some sense, chief, manager, command and control centre, money or something like a monkey in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense, protection, security, proof, rumours, to plan to abandon or destroy something, scuttle, to sink a ship by making a hole in it to let the water in or a similar actions to destroy the plan of an enemy or opponent or rival etc etc. Word IMRAA is from root ALIF, MEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is structure. Also landmark, monument, constitution, tradition, custom, law, shelter, refuge, boundary, edge, border, something that differentiates or distinguishes between concepts or realities, something that discriminates between things, something that acts as an ideological or actual barrier or partition between things, something that sets limits for inclusions or exclusions for some purpose, something that helps see the way to some destination, something that defines a belief or a deed or word or action, commandment, suggestion, something that allows or disallows an action, a task, a job or work, an affair, a matter, chief, ruler, controller, adviser, manager, boulder, marker, hillock, affliction, to increase, to multiply, to guide, to order, to instruct, to enjoin, to ordain, to decree, to prescribe, to incite, to encourage, to justify, to charge with, to assign, to let one behave according to one’s inclinations, to leave on his/her own devices, to invest with authority, to counsel, to consult, to increase in numbers, to discuss things with each other all together, to plan or plot together, system or order, will, domain, prerogative, obligation, duty, responsibility, verdict, opinion, judgement, situation, condition or state, whatever exist, to urge or tempt, grievous or abominable, bull or something like a bull in some sense, authority, power, staff or stick or glue, something that keeps things together, water or something like water in some sense, something that can fulfil or satisfy needs or wants or desires or ambitions, knowledge or information, head or something like a head in some sense, chief, manager, command and control centre etc etc. [72] The wise man said, did I not say before we set on this journey of learning that you cannot wait till I tell you things myself because you do not know the actual situations where upon I base my advice or decision? Here people have a lesson not to presume things unless reasonable information is available about things to have some idea what the real situation or circumstances may be. Making wrong assumptions about things particularly about situations or circumstance yet unknown could cost dearly. Yet mullahs have made up many stories in the name of revelations of Allah and are busy misleading people throughout the world. This on one hand forces ignorant people to accept their stupidity as the real truth and thereby keeps them ignorant while on the other hand it drives such people away from actual revelation of Allah because they think this is the actual truth about what is called revelation of Allah that it is nothing more than stupidity of mullahs who are trying hold people under their control. As a result a lot of educated people end up moving away from the way of life advised by Allah. The other lesson in this story is that it is wrong to not to ask questions about things when one has to and a teacher must not stop a student from asking questions because without that process it is not possible to teach and learn things of each other. Silent observation is ok for the beginners like a baby keeps absorbing information in lap of his mother unable to speak his mind yet but once he is reasonably grown he then must not be stopped from asking questions because otherwise he will not find out the answers to curiosities in his mind to satisfy them. So first step is silent observation when one has no idea at all about anything but once one has come to know things to a degree to find out more one has to concentrate upon observation and asking questions to see if anyone knows things already so that one could quickly learn of the learned and move on. This is why teacher must explain things if one has the answers to things otherwise all must work towards discovering things which they do not know yet. So there is time for staying silent as an observer and as a listener when one is already explaining things in form of a lecture but thereafter it is time for asking questions and then waiting to receive their answers. It is a simple case of observing something for seeing problems and then looking for their solutions. All people must always respect each other as human beings as there is no concept of respecting people for sake of rank or age or power or strength. The idea that rulers, money lenders and mullahs must be respected by the masses no matter how they treat them is invention of rulers, money lenders and mullahs to have privileges and control over masses. The Quran does not allow even children to respect their parents over and above the respect the children should be given by their parents as human beings. It is sense of responsibility and duty that is important in light of the Quran so that all people get their rights as they should. This is why one has to condemn any wrong done by anyone to anyone even if it is by one’s own parents. Paradise is not only under the feet of mother nation but also under the feet of children of mother nation because if children are useless who do not get on with each other then there is not going to be a mother nation or ummah. Fractured nation is no longer a nation and as people fight each other for themselves there is not going to be any blissful, dignified and secure existence for such people. It is then going to be a life in a hellhole for all because none will feel secure in that case from atrocities of each other. [73] Moses said, pardon my mistake and please do not hold it against me so that you end up making my learning experience very difficult for me. Word TURHIQNEE is from root RAA, HAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to cover up. Also to influence, to cover something up with force, to force one to do something beyond one’s ability or capability, to put through hardship or difficulty or suffering, to make one transgress the limits, foolishness, ignorance, ill mannered, lacking good character, to transgress norms of decency, to do mischief, to force one against his will, lying, weak-mindedness, to approach, to over shadow, to eclipse, to catch up with, to reach adolescence, to be impetuous, to be peevish, to distress, to oppress, to humiliate, to disgrace or dishonour, to engulf, to stifle, to overtake, to treat harshly, to make heavy or excessive demands, weakness, damnation, head or something like a head in some sense, chief, manager, guardian, controller, window or something like a window in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, clever, agile, mischievous, deception or deceptive, to expire, to run out, to pass away, to be emaciated, to die, to meet defeat, something susceptible to vanishing etc etc. Word USRAA is from root AIN, SEEN and RAA.

Only willing cooperation and coordination on solid basis can get people through difficulties of life. This means people should be forgiving and compassionate not unforgiving and tyrants. [74] So they carry on their journey of discovery till they come across a young man full of energy so he gave him a good verbal thrashing in form of a critical lecture, Moses said, you have hit a person with a very critical lecture who has done nothing wrong to anyone. Surely you have done an undesirable thing! The teacher here delivers some harsh words to a person he catches up with because he knows the person and his responsibilities and that he has fallen short of fulfilling them but Moses has no idea who he is and why he is being lectured that way yet he does not hold his silence because from his point of view the guy looked ok and needed no such treatment so he thought the teacher was behaving out of his rightful bound the way he acted in presence of Moses so he spoke out about it.

[76] Moses replied, if I interfere in your business again after this then you are under no obligation from me to keep me in your company and I will have no complain against you. [77] So they carry on with their journey of discovery till they reach a township wherein people were divided among themselves so they invited its people to take part in their program for unity but they refuse to entertain them nonetheless he found this resistance of theirs collapsible so he took a decision to work on its people to unite them into a proper human community.

[79] As for the people of the township, they were a united peaceful community who earned their livelihood by working on the river, so I decided to isolate them for their own security because at a distance from them is a bandit who is keen on attacking townships for loot and plunder.

[81] We had already planned that their Creator and Sustainer should change him for the better for them, a son of community who keeps community free of rifts and keeps them on the road to blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community. Word we here seems to means God, the wise man and the community who cooked the plan and executed it together. [82] As for the community that was divided and could fall victim to civil war, it belonged to two individuals contesting for leadership of the community in the township after the death of their community leader however under the umbrella of united community laid great benefit for both the factions. Since their community father was a leader who worked hard for keeping community united by keeping it free of rifts and dissensions, your Creator and Sustainer chose that these successors of his reach their thinking level through my help whereby they could rediscover their treasure that lies in being a properly united community by means of blissful, dignified and life securing program of your Creator and Sustainer and not as per my own personal desire. That is the explanation of my actions about which you did not stay out of interfering in my business just as a silent observer. In these stories neither is condemned for his actions by the other despite having differences in their points of views because both looked at things as per their individual knowledge and acted on that basis with good intentions and when things became clear both accepted each other’s actions as correct under the circumstances. The important point is not having differences but being able to learn from each other and moving on to a correct or better position unlike most people who stick to their wrong decisions even after knowing they may be wrong which leads to all sorts of troubles between people including wars and destructions. It is never purpose of people who work on mission of Allah to dominate others by undermining them for enslaving them to use and abuse them. Their aim is to free people from harmful and destructive influences of each other so that people think better for themselves and each other and do what needs to be done to make existence of each other blissful, dignified and secure. This whole surah is about unity between a divided people and each story told in it reflects that from its beginning to its end. It talks about people rising up from within a community against harmful and destructive way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other as well as people coming to a community from outside to help sort out things. One thing is clear that unless people first sort out themselves as to where they stand and where they want to be and how they can get there, it is not possible to succeed merely by random aimless steps. Not only organising and regulating a people is important but also organising them around what sorts of goals and regulating them by what sort of laws. This is why having sense based on wide and deep personal life experiences and having reasonable understanding of guidance of Allah is absolutely necessary to start a movement and help it succeed by educating people about it. [83] They will ask you about a person who was able to bring two opposing factions of people together (zu al qarnain). Say, let me tell you some things about him. In this verse word ZULQARNAIN is actually a combination of two words. Word ZU shows the quality the person possesses, AL is just for definite article the and QARNAIN is dual form of QARN which is from roots QAAF, RAA and ALIF and QAAF, RAA and NOON. It means era, jurisdiction, time, section, group, faction, horn, spearhead, arrowhead, mountain peak, feeler, sharp, brainy, first rays of rising sun, generation, number of years, peer, companion, equal, to join together two or more things in some way, blade, prisoner of war, marriage, shackles, fetters, pods, reading, recitation, collection, gathering, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, bull or something like a bull in some sense, fish or snake or something like a fish or a snake in some sense etc etc. Looking at the context of this surah, it is about unity of divided people so this person is talked about in the very same context ie he too did things which brought some divided factions of a community back together on basis of knowledge of real world realities and revelation of Allah. This story is not about some powerful king or emperor or ruler who forced his will on others as he liked because that is very much against what the revelation of Allah is all about. Here the Quran is talking about a missionary and his supporters not a powerful king. People should know what kings do even to their own people never mind doing something great for others whom they consider as their enemies and have them for their slaves and maids. Attributing stupid invented stories to the Quran is work of mullahs to give justification to such ruling system which ruined this ummah by turning its people into rulers, money lender and mullahs on one hand and their worshippers on the other. [84] Indeed We helped him establish himself in this world because We gave him knowledge about all things essential for this purpose. Word MAKKANNAA is from roots KAAF, WOW and NOON and MEEM, KAAF and NOON. Concrete meaning o f this root is a firm foundation to firmly settle upon or build something upon. Also a place to establish oneself in or a place where one is settled down, knowledge, power, authority, divine revelation, guidance or direction or goal, peace or security or tranquillity, bird nest, a secure refuge or shelter or place, something upon which one is settled ie a place or an idea or an action, to become settled in one’s chosen place or upon an idea or action or decision, to gain control over something or to take hold of, to gain ability to do something, a gain dignity or honour, to become dignified and honourable, to put something in some place firmly, to establish truth on basis of true information about things or through pragmatic test by carrying out the experiment as told or by way of historical accounts that are supported by archaeological evidences, lizard and locust eggs, to be exalted in position or rank, to be calm, to consolidate, to gain influence, to become possible, to strengthen, to enable, dweller, place, status, to become submissive, existence, to exist, to be, to form, to create, happenings, to become, to make something happen, side, ability, palm of hand or something like a palm of hand in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, fish or snake or something like a fish or a snake in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. Word SABABAA is from root SEEN, BAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is ladder. Also reason, connection, rope, severance, to abuse, to revile, means by which goals or things may be accomplished or aims may be achieved, a way to something or somewhere, a path or action plan, a program, cause and effect chain or relationship between things or concepts or actions or events, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition or law or custom, constitution, a way of life, a rule of law, house or something like a house in some sense, shelter, refuge, protection, ability to sense things and understand things, being able to rationalise things or reason out things, ways and means needed for fulfil a purpose, tricks or techniques or mechanisms for doing things, cause and effect connections between events or happenings etc etc. This verse tells us about a man who managed a kingdom somewhere in the world that was set-up according to guidance of Allah for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. The Quran is silent where this kingdom exactly was or who exactly this person was but it gives some description that on one side of it was sea and on another side of it was vast land more like desert and on yet other side were mountains. This description shows extreme ends or boarder lines of his kingdom and there is no sea travelling involved at all. The Quran is not interested in individuals or places but ideas and actions of people that made world better or worse so that people follow the way of life of those who tried to turn this world into a blissful, dignifying and secure place for mankind and do not follow the way of life of those who for sake of personal gains inflicted harms and destructions upon each other. [85] and because he set himself on a path of discovery through exploration as a fact finding mission This verse shows how people on mission of Allah behave ie they go on a self discovery mission and learn about real world realities and guidance of Allah and then go about in the land to see how things are and see if there is anyone in need of any help. This person tried to bring people together both within communities and people of communities at variance of each other by helping them remove their differences and come together for a much greater purpose of life based upon guidance of Allah. He worked hard to establish kingdom of Allah in the world for the blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind. This person was a messenger of Allah or a missionary on a mission of his prophet from Allah along with his supporters. He managed to set up two kingdoms based upon guidance of Allah. One somewhere in the West and the other somewhere in the East. [86] till he arrived as far as he could reach in the direction of the sun-setting whereat he found that jurisdiction of his kingdom ended but thereby he found a population of a people. We said, O Zulqarnain, you have the option either to let these people suffer the consequences of their own thoughts and actions against each other or to show them Our properly founded way of life that can help them develop and prosper. Word BALAGHA is from root BAA, LAAM and GHAIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to reach or arrive at some point or conclusion in some sense. Also to go to extreme end or the farthest one can go, to grow up fully, become adult, mature, to reach the full ability of understanding things or arrive at a destination or goal or conclusion, to exhaust the possibility or opportunity or to take full advantage of a place or an idea or a situation or an opportunity, to be eloquent, to grow to full potential, to exaggerate, to do one’s utmost, to give or pass on or deliver a piece of news or message, to attain a high degree or rank, to announce or declare openly, to convey, to reach the top, to go to utmost or full length or end of journey point or destination or terminal, to have something within one’s reach or under one’s grasp or control or jurisdiction, house or something like a house in some sense, shelter or protection, foundation, family, community, ox-goad or something like an ox-goal in some sense, inspiring, motivating, drive, eye or something like an eye in some sense, alertness, awareness, new start, spring season, water well or pond, source of guidance etc etc. Word SHAMS is from root SHEEN, MEEM and SEEN.

Concrete meaning of this root is eye. Also something that opens up a window to something, something that opens up opportunities or ways to things, to guard, to keep an eye on things, as far as the eye can see or guard or take care of things, the area under jurisdiction of a kingdom, the area under guard to keep an eye over, to stay alert or awake, to observe and explore things, eyesight, spring, to have beautiful eyes, to see, to injure the eye, to spy, to give the evil eye, ascertain, notables, group of brothers, source of happiness, water source, monitoring, help or assistance, support, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power, authority, strength, fish or something like a fish in some sense, smooth or deceptive, ink, inkpot, to long for or to have desire for something, spring or fountain of knowledge, divine revelation etc etc. Word HAMIATI is from root HAA, MEEM and ALIF. Concrete meaning of this root is mist. Also murky, foggy, muddy, dirty, stinking black mud, to dredge, to be angry, in-laws, foul, fence or something like a fence in some sense, an obstacle to keep things in or out, a protection zone or shelter or refuge or safe place, borderline or boundary of a kingdom or jurisdiction, no man’s land, something that acts like a fence or shelter for a people, rule of law, custom, tradition, water or something like water in some sense, source of knowledge motivation or inspiration, a source of life or energy, bull or something like a bull in some sense, strength, authority, power, staff or stick, community or nation etc etc. Words AINI HAMIATIN mean marshes, a tract between dry land and sea which is called low land, a tract of low, soft, wet ground, a marsh or bog, an area of low-lying, soggy ground, something that hinders, engulfs, or overwhelms, a disordered or muddled up situation, a confusing set of circumstances especially the ones that impedes progress and prosperity, something that is confusing or troublesome or from which it is difficult to free oneself etc etc. The alternative interpretation of this verse could be something like, till he arrived in a place where people were not aware of Our guidance and were stuck in life of misery so We left it to ZULQURNAIN to help them out of this situation with help of Our guidance or leave them to their own devices if they refuse to listen and cooperate. In that case words BALAGHA MAGHRIBASH SHAMSI would stand for the end of jurisdiction of Zulqarnain in the westward direction ie the border edge of the kingdom under the management of his administration. Yet other interpretation could be negligence of message of Allah by a people and as a result the message of Allah was being gradually lost or was disappearing in its effectiveness among those people. The result was that they became stuck in a terrible situation because demise of these people set in and if they did not pull back themselves they will end up destroyed. However Zulqarnain decided to help them out of that situation because that is why he went to see what was going on in the world round about him. The message of Allah never becomes ineffective but people who have the message can become slack in paying their proper attention to it and therefore they lose their grip on its proper understanding and therefore are no longer capable of using it effectively for what it is given them for. Today this ummah is in a very similar situation that decline has settled-in in it and most of the people have no idea what the message of Allah is for them to help them come out of this situation while rulers, money lenders and mullahs are busy trying to get them in yet worse situation and to keep them there. So time for ummah to kick out its rulers, money lenders and mullahs and build themselves on solid foundation of the message of the Quran by educating themselves as individuals and each other so that the decline could be reversed and ummah could be put back on track to blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah properly. These verses clearly explain the right of missionaries in delivering the message of Allah in his jurisdiction regardless people like it or not. If they like it, help them to become a blissful, dignified and secure people but if they refuse let them live the way they want and suffer the consequences by hands of each other till all this ends up in great bloodshed among them and then they learn the hard way that that is not the way to live a good life. It is therefore duty of each and every person who accepts the Quranic message to take it as far as one can no matter where one is in the world. [87] So he said, anyone who inflicts harms or destructions upon others thereby acts against the well being of proper human community we will stop him because that will be to keep things according to program, constitution and law of his Creator and Sustainer that will deal with him as he ought to be dealt with. [88] As for any who commits to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of community and acts to remove problems from within the community and puts the community on the road to progress and prosperity, the result of his work will be improvement in the community and that will make life easy for him as well as accomplish our mission as set by our Creator and Sustainer. [89] At length he set out on another discovery and exploration trip [90] till he arrived as far as he could reach in the direct of the sunrise (the eastern border of his kingdom) whereat he became aware of a population of a people for whom We had not left any obstacle because of following Our guidance and making progress. Word SITRAA is from root SEEN, TAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is barrier.

Zulqarnain arrives at this place and sees that people are doing well for themselves and need no help from him so he moves on to another journey. This was good opportunity for him if he was a king looking for expansion of his kingdom. This is why this story is told so that people learn some lessons as to how they should live to be taken as saintly people. Sainthood is not the nonsense mullahs talk about that is making fool of oneself and others. A people who tell others they should have nothing to do with things in this world are stupid because they should know one cannot live without breathing air, drinking water and eating food and many other necessities of life. You cannot get these things unless you work for them in some sort of organised and regulated way. Sitting in isolation and saying Allah, Allah, is not the teaching of the message of Allah but stupidity of mullahs and so called mystics. Allah wants people to work hard according to his program and enjoy life. In other words, don’t make life hell for yourselves by your own ignorance and stupidity and blame it on God or his missionaries. [92] Then after some time he set out on a yet another discovery and exploration mission [93] till he arrived at the boundaries between two people whereat he found another people who troubled them both because they gave no importance to Our rule of law. Word SADDAIN is from root SEEN, DAAL and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is mountain or something like a mountain in some sense.

Word YAJOOJ and MAJOOJ are from root ALIF, JEEM and JEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is fire that burns violently. Also a people who turn violent, people given to bloodshed or loot or plunder, a people who wage wars to loot and plunder other people to gain a living, people given to living on ill-gotten or unlawful gains, a people who have no sense of rule of law or who give no importance to rule of law, a lawless people, a people who know no limits or have no boundaries, the sound that raging fire makes or roaring of fire that burns violently, a knocking or thumbing or rattling sound, a noise due to some sort of commotion or upheaval or agitation, a severe state of confusion, raging hot environment, raging fire of hatred between people, a very bitter tasting water or liquid, salty water, to inflame, to incite, to be fast, crackling of fire, to attack, to jump at, to storm, a people who try to find ways to weaken other people in order to use and abuse them instead of helping a weak people to be strong to stand on their own feet, bull or something like a bull in some sense, power, strength, stick, camel or something like a camel in some sense, beautiful, reliable, strong, durable, rope, long lasting, bitter experience, something that leaves bitter taste in mouth, an injury that leaves scar, something very harmful and destructive in its actions etc etc. Word KHARJAA is from root KHAA, RAA and JEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to spend energy to get something in return. Also to make effort for some purpose or to get something, expenditure, to get something out in order to get something in, to get out, to lose something to gain something, something that is exposed or excluded from something, something not covered or under protection, a horse that is improved version of its parents, something that is better than its ancestors, a skilful person, an expert in something or some field of knowledge, the day people set for meeting each other as a community, a day of happiness or celebration, the day when subjects of a ruler declare their independence of their ruler, the day of uprising, the day of revolution, the day people come out against their rulers, the day of uprising, the day of revival of community, the day of new beginning, life in hereafter, part of wealth a people give to another people to gain their protection, outgoings or exports, money given as poll-tax or protection money, fruit of labour of ordinary people that is taken as a tax by rulers in return for offering them security and protection, a place from which something comes out or gets out, something that comes out or gets out, fence or something like a fence in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, camel or something like a camel in some sense, to offer help and support in thought or word or action etc etc. Here the verse is talking about a people who are called YAAJOOJ and MAJOOJ. A lawless people who lived their lives on basis of looting and plundering others. They attacked civilised people and made away with their things instead of making a living for themselves as a proper human community like the others. Zulqarnain manages to create brotherhood between them on basis of guidance of Allah and solves the problem. Just as the Quran does not say who Zulqarain was so it does not explain anything about yajooj and majooj people either. The reason is the Quran does not take any character of any people as their permanent mindset, attitude and behaviour because no people are all bad for ever nor any people are all good for ever so if a people are bad today they may turn ok tomorrow and those who are good today may turn bad tomorrow. This is why instead of describing a character through a permanent people a character is describes that fits different people at different times in different places. It is because as for people, situations and circumstances keep changing but a Muslims is always only such a person who fits the descriptions given in the Quran and likewise a kafir is only that person who fits the description given in the Quran but none can be labelled a true Muslim or an actual Kafir for ever because only Allah knows the truth about a person at any given time in any given place. People can only define things for practical purposes and that is all. So there are no such people who are YAJOOJ and MAJOOJ as a permanent people for ever and people should avoid a lot of make beliefs as pushed by mullahs due to their ignorance and stupidity especially the stories that are given supernatural twists. They love seeing God at work in supernatural way at all times rather than they working themselves to achieve anything. [95] Zul-Qarnain said, the solid foundation for solving problems the best way which my Creator and Sustainer has granted me is more than enough to solve your problem just help me with workforce to spread it thereby I will build a strong and lasting bridge between you and them.

[98] He said, this is the blissful, dignifying and life securing program from my Creator and Sustainer.

The Quran is a book that tells people to become highly educated and thinking people who do things that help humanity move full speed ahead into the future with full confidence due to help and support of each other. It also tells mankind that time is coming that this will become a reality in the real world. However willingly or unwillingly people have to take each other along that line till they get there or they will not have the life they long for, so it is a question of how long people want to stay on this course they are on to continue suffering painfully. [99] Time is coming when We will help masses through Our guidance to become free from their rulers, money lenders and mullahs to surge like waves to merge with one another as a brotherhood of humanity.

Word GHITAAIN is from roots GHAIN, TWAA and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something with which something is covered. Also to cover a pot with its top, curtain or blind, underwear, clothes that people wear to cover up their bodies and then wear other clothes over them, something that covers another thing, darkness, state of unawareness, lack of consciousness, being unaware about something, ignoring or neglecting something, turning a blind eye to something, covering, barrier, veil, to hide, to be overbearing, to become dark, to become full, eye or something like an eye in some sense, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, hook or something like a hook, crooked, deceptive, something reliable or dependable, to turn one’s eye away from something for some reason, to remain unconcerned about something, to show no concern for something, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power, strength, authority etc etc. In these verses it is explained that time will come when mankind will become aware of what is done to them by rulers, money lenders, mullahs their touts and supporters and how they do it. That is the time they will say, enough is enough and they will turn to program, constitution and law of their Creator and Sustainer and that will help them sort out all problems that they will have been struggling with for ages. Such lifelong painful suffering of masses for centuries is bound to knock some sense into minds of people to start thinking and questioning as to why they must suffer unnecessarily just because it benefits a few at their expense. So there are major upheavals in store for humanity that will turn out to be life changing for mankind when they begin unless people see sense before they become an everyday reality. [102] Do those who reject and oppose My rule of law think that they can secure themselves through taking My human creatures as their rulers and protectors instead of My guidance? Certainly We let prepare for themselves hell for their own entertainment such as reject and oppose Our guidance. [103] Say to them, shall We tell you about the people worst in loss of fruit of their labour? [104] They are those whose all efforts, thoughts and actions are focused upon personal gains at the expense of each other in life of this world so they remain a low life people yet they think they are doing works that make the world a beautiful place. [105] Such are the people who reject and oppose the goals and guidelines set for them by their Creator and Sustainer instead of meeting His set out requirements therefore their efforts, thoughts and actions end up being void of any benefits for themselves and others so they carry no weight to avert the day of uprising. [106] That is how the results of efforts, thoughts and actions of such people are life of painful suffering because they reject and oppose My rule of law and because they take My set goals and guidelines as well as My messengers for a joke. [107] However those who commit to working for unity peace, progress and prosperity of humanity and work hard to remove rifts and dissensions from among people they are sure to be entertained in the highly blissful, dignifying and life securing kingdoms Word FIRDOWS is from root FAA, RAA, DAAL and SEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is wide expanse. Also open piece of land, vast open space, plentiful, prosperity, abundance of things of need or want, a person with wide chest or with strong bones that are wide and thick and dense, plenty of food, green valley, garden, a place full of orchards and gardens of all sorts, an environment that is full of bliss and happiness, trouble free environment, a highly dignified place or kingdom, paradise, a pleasant desirable place, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense etc etc. [108] to live therein for as long as they live that way and they let no change take place in that kind of environment that affects it in a harmful and destructive way. As explained already people are found at four different levels of existence a)totally ignorant, illiterate, uneducated and unthinking, b)people given to make beliefs and useless rituals, c)people given to way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and d)people who are self aware and aware of universal realities as well as have proper sense of guidance of Allah. This is obvious from the environment of the world wherein people live their lives. They are getting the outcomes of their thoughts and actions as they deserve as a people. The world can only become a beautiful place when people have learned how to make it beautiful by learning to live with each other for well being of each other instead of ensuring personal gains at the expense of each other. [109] Say, even if there was a sea-full of problems and difficulties created by you the mankind for the set-up systems and laws of my Creator and Sustainer they will become solved long before the set-up systems and laws of my Creator and sustainer become obsolete and the same will happen even if We let mankind create a similar sea-full of similar problems and difficulties for themselves repeatedly. Word MIDAADAA is from root MEEM, DAAL and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is extension. Also to pull or stretch or spread or extend or expand, to increase in quantity or quality or size or weight or time or dimensions, to expand an idea or action in some way, elongation, to be tall, to give rope to, to lend, to unfold, to enrich, to support, to reinforce, to supply, fodder, ink, raw material, to be at high tide, to rise, to fester, pus, duration, period, time span, a dry measure, to add to, to replenish, to reach out, to reach up, to grant a respite, to be stretched out, to provide, to assist with, to bestow, to prolong, vastly increased, vast, extensive, term, water or something like water in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, something connected to another end to end length wise, to lay down and spread something etc etc. Word NAFID is from root NOON, FAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to vanish. Also to disappear, become dissolved or solved, to go away, to expire, to come to an end, to run out, to finish, to be depleted, fish or something like a fish in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense etc etc. Here Allah clearly explains the fact that his guidance is capable of solving all problems human beings can ever create for themselves however the time period can either increase or decrease depending upon people themselves as to their response to guidance of Allah. If people will learn it properly and use it for the purpose it is given then humanity will have blissful, dignified and secure existence quicker saving itself from a lot of painful suffering by hands of each other but if they will ignore it then set-up systems and laws of Allah will keep forcing people to keep moving in the same direction but humanity will keep on suffering painfully as a result of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. The solution of all problems lies in the way of life people adopt for their future and there are only two ways of life they can live by ie personal gains based way of at the expense of each other or way of life advised by Allah for ensuring well being of each other. Brilliant future is promised by Allah if people will live their lives the way he has advised them or terribly painful life will await people for so long as they do not adopt the way of life advised by Allah. [110] Say, I am a human being just like you but the message is sent to me by Allah to proclaim it to you the mankind that your ruler is only and only one therefore whoever wants to meet the requirements of his Creator and Sustainer, let him think and take action to remove causes for rifts from among people to unite them for peace, progress and prosperity and not to take any of the human creatures of Allah as sovereigns in his kingdom of the universe. |

Surah 19 MARIAM-A missionary community raised by messengers of Allah to help people establish a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of individuals in form of a proper human community
This Surah is named with word MARIAM from roots RAA, WOW and MEEM; MEEM, RAA and ALIF; MEEM, RAA and WOW and MEEM, RAA, and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is uncultivated piece of land. Also an uncivilised or ill mannered or a rough person, virgin, innocent, beloved, hard white stone from which blades are made, flint, barren land, type of fragrant tree, spotless, simple, bright, star of the sea, sophisticated, celebrity, chosen, to cause blood to flow, to bring forth, to bring out all arguments in a dispute, to wrangle, to oppose, to doubt or cast doubt, to be bright, white antelope, the sweat of a running horse, favoured, committed, to rub the odder of a she camel for more milk than usual, dedicated, rebellious, disobedient, bitter, a person; group; party; community or nation dedicated; sacrificed; offered for or committed to a cause; task or mission, to dispute vigorously or forcefully, raw material, to be wholesome and palatable, to be acceptable or agreeable or digestible, man or woman or a human being or humanity, wife, a chivalrous or noble person, generosity of nature, to be humane, head or something like a head in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, bull or something like a bull in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, various names are derived from this root including the name of this very surah etc etc. This Surah is named Mariam not because it contains story of a community by name of Mariam but because of its subject matter just like surahs before it to highlight why this community is mentioned in the Quran ie it is mentioned in the Quran due to its commitment and dedication to guidance of Allah for the well being of humanity ie it is a missionary community that was raised and maintained by successive messengers of Allah among children of Israel till it lasted and that it acted as a missionary community towards other communities within its reach. The other point to realise is that a community remains alive with dignity so long as it learns and teaches information that makes it self-aware and aware of other universal realities and raises its level of awareness to a degree that it realises need for guidance of Allah and then it gets it and learns it in order to live by it and thereby uplifts itself and tries to do the same for other human populations elsewhere. After Abraham the main focus of divine revelation remained children of Isaac instead of children of Ishmael. As the Quran itself explained the divine revelation was always sent among people who showed desire and potential for it and it were they who were charged with responsibility of spreading it among mankind. This is why children of Israel are left out after they became negligent of their responsibility and the revelation was then given to children of Ishmael. As people should be aware Jews became a tribe and they took on religion in form of Judaism. A major proof that these are a people no longer interested in well being of rest of the mankind, however, such a path leads such a people to a dead end in time. No people have legitimacy as a people of divine scripture once they give up on divine mission of bringing unity, peace, progress and prosperity to mankind. Christians and Muslims are the only people in the world who claim to be on a divine mission. However there is doubt as to legitimacy of Christianity being a divine mission because such an idea did not begin till St Paul started it whereas Islam was always a missionary movement and since its beginning never stopped. The Quran as we can see is a missionary book and it is very clear about it ie there is no way one could claim Islam is not a missionary movement or the Quran is not a manifesto for establishing deen of Islam in the world. The Quran tells people who are consistent with it that they must spread its proper message throughout the world properly and not remain limited to themselves. The Quran does not focus on an individual to be a good human being and forget the rest rather it wants individual to be a useful person only because it wants that individual to help others become useful people as well with sole objective of creating a greater worldwide human community out of this individual reformation. So any people who do so as individuals and as communities are like community of Mariam, a community out of which arose individuals as a team to put things right as much as they could and as far as they could. Mariam was just one community from among tribes of Israel. It became concerned when most of the tribes turned to way of life based on personal gains at the expense of community spirit. Not only that but these people also treated other people less than humans and not much different than other animals as their beasts of burden if you like. They used their knowledge to undermine rest of humanity as much as they could. Despite facing consequences of their such thoughts and actions against each other and other populations they failed to change their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours and that is the main reason for loss of their dignified place in divine scheme of things. Their past is said to be great but their future if they remained on the wrong course of actions then is not really going to be brilliant as it ought to be if they followed divine program and lived by divine constitution and regulated themselves by divine law. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] Kaaf, Haa, Yaa, Ain, Suad. 2] The blissful, dignified and secure existence providing program of your Creator and Sustainer with which He blessed His messenger Zakariya Word ZAKARIYAA is from root ZAA, KAAF and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to fill up a vessel. Also tool or weapon or something like a tool or weapon in some sense, an instrument or something instrumental in accomplishing or doing something, a measuring device or standard, palm of hand or something like a palm of a hand in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. Why is this Surah beginning with name of Mariam but starts with message and name of its messenger from Allah? This is a strong clue that the Quranic word Mariam is not name of mother of Jesus but a community that was guided by Allah through his messengers including Jesus. This however does not mean that the name of mother of Jesus was not Mariam, she may well have been named Mariam. The community of Mariam is connected to sister of Moses and Aaron who were children of Imran. The Quran does not mention biological parentage of people or family trees but general ideological connection between them. This is a very important point for people to take notice of who wish to understand the Quranic message properly. This is why there is no detailed description of any family. It is because the Quran holds important those who are related to its purpose either as supporters of message of Allah or its opponents. The other point to note is that Mariam is only one of the Israelite communities. Other closely related communities were communities of Moses and Aaron but beside these Bani Israel was based on many small and large tribal communities in time of Jesus. Any messenger sent from among these communities was sent for all of them and beyond. So Jesus despite being from Mariam community as its leader was nevertheless messenger to all of Israel. After Jesus the prophet-hood stopped among Israelites due to their lack of interest in mission of Allah. Jews became introverts or self centred people so the message was sent to a people who could make better use of it than Jews. Yet other point to remember is that in the context of the Quran personalities do not matter but message does provided it stands the reliability test in form of its practicability and actual application and where possible historical test with backing of archaeological evidences where possible. It is because no person is reliable on his own due to possibility of human errors. Any human being can make so many statements of which many could be proven true and many others could be proven false therefore a human being cannot be basis or foundation for anything at all. This is why a statement must be judged for its own merit or for that matter demerit in light of itself and in light of self evident facts or real world realities. This is why the message of the Quran is absolutely reliable beyond a shadow of doubt because it is testimony of Allah which stands the reliability test as explained in detail already. This is why the Quran is capable of proving the messengership of Muhammad even today to all people who have the knowledge to understand it and test it. No other scripture is this capable in the world today because all of them have human elements in them that are so obvious to those who have developed the sense to see this. No messenger of Allah was ever capable of proving his messengership from Allah without basing himself firmly upon the message he was given by Allah. It was true then and it is true even today. This is why each time a messenger or any missionary reached the awareness that he needs to know more than what he knows about himself and others as well as real world realities he looked for guidance from a higher source to understand things properly and to sort out problems of humanity at large. So ultimately all such people turned to God and will always turn to God, however a huge number of people remain as they are born ie ignorant, illiterate, uneducated and unthinking people so the world needs a movement for making learning and teaching a priority if they want to bring about a world that can provide them with blissful, dignified and secure existence. Only proper education can open doors for humanity to a brilliant future as a proper human community otherwise painful suffering cannot be eliminated by humanity from this world and a lot of people will always be put through painful suffering by each other for personal gains at each others’ expense. After all if people will not learn to live as proper human beings then they will have to live like other animals or worse. So rejecting and opposing the message of the Quran has its inevitable consequences for humanity that cannot be escaped. 3] When he expressed his desire for guidance of his Creator and Sustainer by way of a sincere call.

On one side a messenger of Allah expresses his desire and on the other Allah tells him yes what you wish for is already in my plan. Allah reacting to demands of people is not the right way of looking at things because as I already explained in detail people have many opposing demands all the time particularly against each other and if Allah acted on their demands the world will not be the way it is. Ask any parents who have a few children how they make their life a headache by children complaining about each other to their parents. 6] such as can take over from where I leave and can lead people of Jacob to unity, peace, progress and prosperity and whose works You my Creator and Sustainer approve due to their good outcome for humanity.

He is told that he should not worry about things and in order to put his mind at rest he is told that he will soon get a replacement but meanwhile he must carry on as usual. This shows how hard a Muslim has to work in order to help fulfilment of divine mission. Islam is ADDEEN and not a religion. Banging one’s head on the floor day and night thinking one is pleasing his creator is not going to help instead DEEN of Allah requires very hard work in all its aspects and spheres. There is no place for make beliefs and useless ritualism in the Quranic program because it is based upon a set of goals and a set of guidelines. Something very different from a set of make beliefs and a set of useless rituals that ignorant, illiterate, uneducated and unthinking take for granted and carry on following them like a flock of sheep. This program is for a highly organised and properly self disciplined people who are well regulated and well set in all necessary routines for a definite outcome first in this world and then in hereafter. Most of the words used in these verses have been explained already, so one should refer to them as and when one needs to. 7] We said, O Zakariya! We give you the good news of a successor, whose name is Yahya, We did not confer such a name for any of Our messengers before him. Word YAHYAA is from root HAA, YAA and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is serpent or something like a serpent in some sense. Also snake or adder, something that moves or moves quietly and smoothly or violently, something that motivates or inspires or moves something in some way for some reason, a person who is lively oneself and brings others to life by inspiring or motivating them through guidance of Allah, energy, life, living, rain, something that keeps increasing or accumulating or adding up, to keep alive, to live on or bring to life, animal kingdom or living things, livelihood, fertility, living quarters or district, to keep vigil or stay alert, to occupy or be occupied with an activity, to celebrate the memory of, to greet with news of continue living, greeting, to be modest, to be shy, bashfulness or nobility, to stay alive or survive, to salute, to give life to, to restore to life, to help to live, to preserve life, to feel shy, to be embarrassed, to be ashamed, life as opposed to death, state of being alive, this life as opposed to next life, life span, the real life, the perfect life, salutation, fence or something like a fence in some sense, shelter, foundation, constitution, law, custom, something that sets limits for some purpose, something that helps protect or secure something, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power, authority, control etc etc. 8] He said, my Creator and Sustainer how will I have such a capable leader as my successor when my community is not yet capable of producing such a son and I too have become impaired due to old age and cannot produce one nor carry on for long? Word ITIYAA is from roots AIN, TAA and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to go beyond a point in some sense. Also to go overboard, to disobey or disregard, storm, violent wind, flooding, violent tornado, very dark night, arrogant, proud, one who tries to dominate by undermining someone, something overwhelming or overpowering or overreaching, rebellion, tyrant ruler, someone who oppresses or suppresses someone violently, a person of advanced age, an elderly person, to be a very old person, weak or infirm or instable person or thing, to be excessively fierce or violent or aggressive, to offer mutinous opposition, to dry up, to reach very old age, to be infirm, to violate bounds of propriety, insurrection, unruliness or brutality or rage, eye or something like an eye in some sense, water well, spring season, help or support or assistance, womb or something like a womb in some sense, a self contained system, a basket, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crooked, deceptive, something that can take weight of something or responsibility for something, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power, control etc etc. These like verses explain very clearly that Allah has set-up the universe in such a way that it works like a clockwork and all things happen in this natural world naturally by means of chains of natural causes and effects by way of set-up universal systems and laws to fulfil plan of Allah. For a start all people are born as babies, be they messenger of Allah or other ordinary people. They learn the same way and grow up the same way as all people do. All people at the end of their life have wishes and desires as per their own life experiences and what they learned and did in their lifetimes so no wonder that people who know better their wishes and desires are also not for personal benefit. They think and worry about rest of human beings as to how things will affect them after them if no one was there to help them see things the proper way. The while prophethood continued Allah told them who was to come after them as his messenger either in their own life time or after they are long gone. If a messenger was to come in their life time as their successor then such a messenger always came while they were still alive and such a messenger did not necessarily come with a book of his own rather he continued using an already existing Godly revealed scripture but if the prophethood did not continue this way but there was a break in succession then a new messenger always came with a book of his own from Allah and was foretold in the predecessor scripture clearly so that people who had the scripture and knew it properly did not fail to recognise him so they followed him. Once a people followed the messenger with a new scripture the old scripture became obsolete because there were no followers for it after all people went for the new messenger. The old scripture went obsolete because people could only preserve what was needed by them for their future and also because the new scripture contained all that was told in the earlier scripture and more as explained already. This explains why we have not found any remains of an actual ancient divine scripture like the Quran. All we have today is fragments of books written by people of old which contain some original information of the original scriptures which people thought necessary to preserve because it served their purpose. Their purpose was to replace deen of Allah with a set of make beliefs and a set of useless rituals so that rulers, money lenders and mullahs have free hand to use and abuse at will the weak among mankind. This is why atheists as well as Hindus, Parsees, Jews, Christians and other are trying their best to undermine the originality of the Quran throughout the world but they cannot because despite failure of people who claim to be Muslims the Quran has its own way of proving its authenticity all by itself. The very people who attack the Quran their own works end up proving the authenticity of the Quran. This is how Allah guards his message and proves it so as already explained in detail. 9] He was told, even though your own community is not able to produce such a leader yet you will have such a successor. Your Creator and Sustainer says, it is not at all difficult task for Me to raise one for you just like I raised you before and you are not known as the successor of your biological father but of Our messengers. Word HAIYIN is from root HAA, WOW and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is to be within reach of something in some sense. Also to have reach to something in some sense, to gain worth or be worthless, to be easy going or gentle, to be weak or meek, to humiliate or disgrace, to be humiliated or disgraced, to ridicule, to take lightly, to be an easy target, to be moderate, to be solemn or amiable, to be despicable, to be humble, to demean, gentility or modesty, ease of manner, contempt or abasement or degradation, shame, something easily accomplished or done, insulting or abusing, window or something like a window in some sense, ways and means, a way to outside, a window of opportunity, a hole through a wall, hook or something like a hook, crooked, something that is capable of taking on a weight or responsibility, fish or something like a fish in some sense, ink or inkpot, something smooth and lively, something fishy or deceptive or slippery etc etc. These verses make clear that God is not bound to choosing messengers from the very same community he sends them to but any brotherly or sisterly community will do and at that anyone whom God deems will fit his set out task will do. It is because a man may well be very clever but his rest of community may be dumb and another community may well suit him because it is a better community with better capability and interest for understanding the message ie it is a lesson in targeting resources or setting up priorities rightly so that mission gains strength and momentum with time. So it is possible that a leader may adopt a community other than his own or a community may adopt a leader other than from among themselves. It is because as far as God is concerned the whole humanity is one huge family divided into many communities or groups. However he needs a people and a leader who suit his missionary work the most at any given time in any given place. So he brings them together as a community and leadership. In the Quran when God says, he sent messenger to every nation from among themselves that may be the case mainly but there is nothing there to bind God to that rather he could have done it both ways because as far as God is concerned all people are same human community. Also any community is community of the divine messenger to whom the messenger is sent. The final messenger is sent to the whole human world and obviously he was not member of all those individual communities that existed and still exist throughout the world. Abraham was sent to nations as well as and as far as he could reach. The same mission carries on and will continue till the objective has been accomplished. The other point talked about is that it is not necessary that a messenger of Allah must come from the line of a messenger because Allah raises people from all communities who are sensible because they use their God given things properly. Here prophet Zakariya thinks how can there be a messenger from Allah when he has no son of his own nor has he raised one from his own community so Allah answers him that he will do it the same way as he done it in case of Zakariya himself. To be a messenger of Allah all one needs to be is, be the wisest among human beings he is going to be sent to as their leader. It matters not how that messengers is taught wisdom. Moses was raised in household of Pharaoh for a reason as well as among Israelites. His father was not a messenger of Allah but an ordinary man. The case was same for many prophets sent by Allah. Father of Jesus was not messenger of Allah either. So the idea that messengers can only come from family tree of prophets is not true in all cases. Also family tree of all human beings goes back to the original human beings who were not prophets of Allah. They were instead like animals and Allah only chose messengers from among them when they became aware of things to that degree. So ancestry or progeny matters not but who follows guidance of Allah does. This is why the Muslim Kafir divide talked about in the Quran is for legal reasons and not the actual fact. It is because people either declare they will live by rule of law of Allah or they do not. So those who do are labelled Muslims and the rest Kufaar. However those who make a declaration of commitment to deen of Islam may or may not prove true in reality so it is not measure of actual true commitment unless such people go through with it in deeds. Likewise people who for some reason or another did not make any declaration may still be true Muslims due to what they think and do. All this is for Allah to decide not for people because people do not have all the information needed for this purpose about people. 10] Zakariya said, O my Creator and Sustainer! Advise me about this changeover of leadership. He was told, your advice is that you should not affect this changeover of leadership for people for another three full training sessions. Word AAYAH here stands for set of further instructions or advice regarding the matter under consideration ie the succession of the community leadership. 11] That is how Zakariya came out of the warfare training place handing over responsibility to his successor while still inspiring his people by saying, work very hard day and night in order to make glorious program of your Creator and Sustainer manifest for people to see. Word MIHRAAB is from root HAA, RAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is war. Also anything that has something to do with some sort of war, to do something on a war footing or to act like a solder in a war situation, to decide to deal with something as a matter of urgency with full force available to accomplish the end, to take on a situation on an emergency footing to deal with it decisively, to take on a cause on a revolutionary basis, to train for war, weapons of war or places of war or training camps for war, a state of open armed often prolonged conflict carried on between nations or parties, preparation for an open armed conflict, techniques and procedures of warfare, condition of active antagonism or contention, a war of words, a price war, a concerted effort or campaign to combat or put an end to something considered injurious, a state or period of active military operations, active hostility or contention or conflict, aggressive competition in business etc, a struggle to achieve a particular goal eg a war against poverty or crime, to be in a state of hostility or rivalry, spear, to extort, to take something from another by force, to wage war, to become angry, lion’s den, palace or temple, prayer niche, place of honour, studs in a armour coat, private quarters, sanctuary or refuge or foundation or protection, fence or something like a fence in some sense, custom or law or constitution, head or something like a head in some sense, chief, controller, manager, leader or commander, house or something like a house in some sense, family or community or nation, household, shelter, something that secures or protects, damage or destruction, hardship, difficulty or trouble, ruin, rebellion, watchtower, fort, governing centre of a kingdom etc etc. Word SABBIHOO is from root SEEN, BAA and HAA. This root has been explained already, it means to work very hard towards some end, to give one’s all to some task or mission, to run or swim or move full speed ahead, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense etc etc. Word BUKRAH is from root BAA, KAAF and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is cut. Also to tear or separate, something that is original or new, virgin, first ray of light, first born, morning, novelty, early part of the day after dawn till sun is risen fully, precedent, something that sets the trend, new beginning, born again, to be a completely changed person, a cow just turned adult, house of something like a house in some sense, palm of hand or something like a palm of hand in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. These verses talk about warfare training camp set up by Zakariya. It is called MIHRAAB which is part of a masjid which in Arabic is an institution or kingdom set up for the purpose of carrying out duties as set out by program of Allah. These duties include everything necessary for setting up, organising, regulating and running a community or a kingdom including defensive or offensive warfare. Muslims ought to be universal or versatile people. Always ready to stand up for ensuring well being of humanity in every way including welfare work as well as going to war if need be. Islamic sword is controlled by goals and guidelines as set out in the Quran and that is why it is part of JIHAAD. Any war against well being of humanity is termed FASAAD-trouble making as already explained elsewhere. Therefore it should be clear for all that any struggle for establishing a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of mankind is JIHAAD and any struggle for establishing a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other is termed FASAAD in the Quranic context. In the Quranic context as explained in detail already MASJID is a kingdom or an institution or a place from which the proper human community is served by the administration put in place for this purpose by the community itself. So all deen of Allah related activities are decided by the ummah in light of revelation of Allah and facing ground realities and are carried out by people made responsible for them by the ummah through these institutions in the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. The mission of prophets of Allah and their missionary supporters was always the very same ie to educate humanity about creation and revelation on revolutionary basis to bring people together as a proper human community or as a Muslim ummah. This was the duty prophet ZAKARIYA was performing but being a human being he became old and could no longer carry on like he used to when he was a young man full of energy and motivation. So this responsibility needed fresh blood and it got it in form of prophet YAHYAA, who replaced prophet ZAKARIYAA. When Jacob was to leave this world, he too did the same ie passed on his legacy to his children. The very same was done by the last messenger of Allah at the last sermon. He passed on missionary responsibility to his ummah because there was no more prophet to come after him. Had there been any prophet to come then one had to come in his own life time if he did not needed another book or if the prophethood was to continue with a break then new prophet ought to come with a new book of his own just like the Quran and such a scripture and a prophet ought to be foretold in the Quran very clearly as the Quran shows about other prophets and books. It is because Allah always sent prophets one after the other or with a break. If there was a break, the new prophet always came with his own book but he and his scripture both were always foretold in an earlier predecessor scripture. Since there has not been continuous chain of prophethood after Muhammad then the only other way for continuation of prophethood could be a prophet with a book of his own from Allah. The Quran has no name of any future messenger of Allah after Muhammad nor of any scripture after the Quran which is clear proof that there is no messenger or book to come from Allah after prophet Muhammad and the scripture the Quran. Not only that but the Quran also tells us that prophet Muhammad is the final messenger of Allah and that the Quran is the final scripture from Allah because the chain of deen of Islam has come to a completion as well as the responsibility of mission has moved on from messengership to missionaries of the final messenger of Allah. A clear proof that there are no more messengers or scriptures to come from Allah, so people should stick to the message in the Quran forever. The reliability of the Quran is proven beyond a shadow of doubt but people need to educate themselves and each other to see all this otherwise there is no end to confusion and very troublesome existence of humanity. 12] To Yahyaa We said, take responsibility of Our mission and hold firmly onto Our program, constitution and law whereby We granted him wisdom for growth and development of a proper human community at the time when he was full of life and energy, Word SABIYAA is from root SWAAD, BAA and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is something full of life and energy. Also youthfulness, youth, youthful propensity, to feel sensual desire towards, to yearn for, to incline towards, to lust for, infant, adolescent sense, immature, something that has something to do with adolescent, adolescent problems, something that motivates or inspires or energises towards a certain activity, something that helps growth and development, plant or something like a plant or tree in some sense, a healthy plant or tree that grows and comes to fruition, house or something like a house in some sense, shelter, sanctuary, safe place to be in, family, community, constitution, tradition, way of life, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crooked, deceptive, something capable of taking on a responsibility or weight, something that can hook or fish something out of danger, to encourage, to draw attention of someone to something for some reason or purpose etc etc. 13] and that is how We granted him the program from Us for instilling compassion and kindness in people for caring for each other as a proper human community in order to free it from inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other so that it develops and grows to its full potential and he proved consistent with Our guidance for ensuring well being of mankind, Word HANAANAA is from root HAA, NOON and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is to be pulled towards something due to compassion or kindness or love for it. Also to have or show compassion or kindness or love towards something or someone, to long for something or be in love with something or have desire for it, to be sad for someone out of feeling of kindness when someone is in any trouble or difficulty, motherly or parental love for children, to be caring, to empathise with someone, to be tender hearted or loving, the one who becomes sad and worried as well as agitated at suffering of others to do something about it in order to remove the suffering, a sound uttered with depth of feeling to show concern for others in trouble, the state of unhappiness and sadness at suffering of others, moaning sound of a she-camel for her separated young, yearning, mercy or kindness, fence or something like a fence in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense etc etc. 14] by being dutiful to his community members both young and old so he was neither domineering and arrogant nor rebellious against Our rule of law like a tyrannical oppressor, As explained already word WAALIDAIN does not necessarily mean parents in the Quranic context but community or dependents both young and old. It is because if there is no proper human community to begin with then one is unable to fulfil his responsibilities to anyone because society is geared toward life of rivalry and animosity wherein it is not possible for people to be caring and sharing no matter how hard they try. This is why the Quran wants people to first become a proper human community and then take care of each other because only by a number of people working as one can ensure safety and security of each other. The Quran keeps exposing stupidity of mullahs at each step of the way. They have ruined the ummah because they tell people to practice deen of Islam in an unIslamic or anti Islamic environment instead of first trying to know what Islamic environment is and how to bring it about and then tell people how to live by it. In a world wherein people live by wars for dominating and undermining each other one cannot put away his sword and leave oneself at mercy of others who have no sense what propriety is. If anyone did that one will be a sitting duck. This is why one has to be careful and well prepared and then try to talk sense to people and if they become sensible things can work out otherwise people will have to be forced to give up using force for all the wrong reasons. War is war but what makes it justified is its end objective if it is meant to get peace in the end for ensuring well being of humanity. In other words violence at time become inevitable in order to prevent further bloodshed and destruction after war if it is fought for right reasons. In other words social ills cannot be eliminated without taking some appropriate measures. 15] because to work for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind was his duty from the day he was made responsible for this mission till the day his responsibility expired for the period of time he was firm and lively. It is very important to note the fact that Allah is telling us stories of his messengers to tell us how prophethood works according to Allah in the context of the Quran. The Quran does not talk about each prophet separately to tell us how Allah appointed each messenger rather he tells various parts of this story about various messengers and if we gather them together they give us the whole needed picture. A very clear proof that many of the stories told in the Hadith books are false because they contradict the what is told in the Quran. For example, take the stories in the Hadith books about the ascension of the last messenger of Allah to heavens on back of a flying horse and compare it to what is told in the Quran and see the difference. There is no such nonsense in the Quran. The truth is that each and every messenger was taken on a journey of discovery by Allah through his revelations and that is it. This is why mullahs cannot be trusted about deen of Islam because they are either wilfully stupid or are ignorant so have no knowledge how to make proper sense of the text of the Quran. These verses tell us how predecessor messenger of Allah hands over the missionary responsibility to his successor and how he takes over and releases his predecessor from his missionary responsibility. Allah tells us he sent his messengers in succession one after the other from Moses to Jesus. He does not talk about all those messengers individually. Not because he could not but because if he did they will be so many that the text of the Quran could become far too long for people to handle as explained already in detail. These are very, very important point for people to remember because from such points one can see that even Allah had to compromise what he should or should not do due to limitations caused by his own plan for things. The Quran does not teach that God has no limitations of any sort at all rather it tells us that Allah has his own limits as a God just like humans have their own limits as human beings. 16] Moreover let Us tell you the people something about a community called Mariam in this surah of the Quran, behold, it distinguished itself from the rest of its related people Word INTABAZAT is from root NOON, BAA and ZAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something worth letting go. Also to abandon or leave alone or forsake, to cast or hurl or throw away or discard or cast out, to renounce or revoke or withdraw, to retreat or isolate or keep one to oneself or retire, to become disconnected, to aside or become ineffective or useless, to have nothing to do with something or have no influence over something, a portion or a piece of something large or bigger, to renege or breach or violate something, to annul, cancel or render void, to go apart or separate, fish or something like a fish in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense etc etc. 17] by isolating itself from the rest of the Israelite communities to rise to a status of awareness whereat We sent to it Our message through a messenger so that each of its people turned into a proper human being as an example for each other as a proper human community. 18] It responded to Our messenger by saying, I seek blissful, dignified and secure existence through you by way of rule of law of the Master of the universe if you are truly consistent with guidance of Allah for the well being of mankind. 19] He said, I am surely a messenger from your Creator and Sustainer to tell you about the rise of a leader who will be a successor of this community leadership to free it from inflicting harms and destructions upon each other to help it develop and grow to its full potential. Word AHAB is from root WOW, HAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to give free something to someone in some sense. Also gift or grant or donation or present or help or support, to give something freely, to bestow something on someone, to show kindness or compassion to someone in some way by being helpful to someone in some way, to help someone solve some problem or difficulty in some way, to possess something, a small stream or canal or river, a spring or source of water, to do someone some favour, to provide someone with something free of expecting anything in return as a price for it, to be helpful through thought or action or word or deed or thing, the cloud that brings rain, to become capable of accomplishing or doing something, to enable someone to carrying out something, something that is gift of God through laws of nature for mankind as oppose to people labouring for getting it, hook or something like a hook in some sense, window or something like a window in some sense, house or something like house in some sense, window of opportunity, ways or means to some end, shelter or sanctuary, crooked, something that can take on responsibility or weight etc etc. 20] It said, how can I have such a leader when I have not been interfered with by anyone of my fellow communities nor am I in alliance with any better outside communities? Word YAMSAS is from root MEEM, SEEN and SEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is to reach something in some way for some reason. Also to affect or influence something in some way for some reason, to touch, to rub, to search or explore or find out or discover, to come to an understanding of something, to comprehend something, to have something within reach or grasp, anything one comes across or meets, insanity or lack of sense, sexual intercourse, verbal discourse or discussion or debate or exchange of ideas or views or social intercourse, untouchable, boycott or isolate, interference, intervention, participation, affliction or hardship or trouble or catastrophe or disaster, to afflict or befall, to feel, to cohabit, to hit, to harm or damage, to penetrate or infiltrate, slight madness or fever, to be mean, to be extreme, thirst quenching water, verdant pasture, antidote, remedy or cure, to appreciate, to consummate marriage, water or something like water in some sense, energy or life giving, energising or inspiring or motivating, something that fulfils a need or want or some purpose, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, way of life, rule of law, constitution, precedent, example etc etc. 21] The messenger replied, despite that being the case your Creator and Sustainer says, it is easy for Me to raise such a leader for you so that We make through him blissful, dignifying and life securing standard from Us obvious for people to live by and that is Our already declared plan. 22] That is why community of Mariam took on this responsibility as the assigned task then began its journey from where it was to try and accomplish the distant goal. Word HAMALAT is from root HAA, MEEM and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is weight or load one carries in some sense. Also burden or responsibility, lamb, liability, duty, obligation, pregnancy, have sense of responsibility, be aware of responsibility, to charge, to take up, to fruit, to depart, to sustain, to bear, to carry off, to get angry, to forebear, litter of a camel, fence or something like a fence in some sense, shelter, limitation, water or something like water in some sense, something that gives life to something in some way or maintains it, constitution or law also helps prolong life, something that fulfils some need or purpose, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, drives or motivating force, to move or travel, to keep up with a set standard etc etc. Word QASIYYAA is from root QAAF, SWAD and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is pointed out as a reference point at a distance for some purpose or as a goal. Other meanings are something that is at a distance, future, goal, a task, an objective, to penetrate, to boycott, to segregate, be far, be remote, to send far away, indirectly connected, farthest, distant, furthest, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, clever, agile, deceptive, mischievous, plant or tree or something like a plan or tree in some sense, something that grows or develops to full potential with time and nourishment, hook or something like a hook, crooked or something upon which can be hanged something, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power or authority or force or reach etc etc. The major movements do not bear fruit overnight rather they take their time and hard work. So long as people become aware of their end goal or objective and start their journey they are likely to travel some distance towards it at least. However if a people do not even know what the goal is or where they need to go and how they need to get there etc etc then they will remain confused about life and keep on going in circles so they will never get anywhere in the end. That is what is wrong with the Muslim ummah today as well as nonMuslims. The social, political, economic and religious leadership has completely confused the ummah so it is in complete chaos due to confusion. All because of its ignorance due to having and holding onto its make beliefs and useless rituals as instilled in its peoples’ minds by its ignorant, illiterate, uneducated and unthinking mullahs which have removed its interested in learning and doing things that need to be learned and done. It wants God to do everything for it because it rather sit and pray all day long or the leadership it chooses for itself should do things for it. When people have such mindset, attitude and behaviour they are lost till something happens to them in such a way that forces change in their mindset, attitude and behaviour. The only way to get them back on their feet is to try and inspire them through divine revelation the proper way. The day and night preaching of mullahs in the name of God has turned ignorant masses fatalists in the Muslim countries as well as in nonMuslim countries. It shows what religions and their mullahs do to their masses along with rulers and money lenders. 23] In due course hard work by it for its goal brought it to fulfilment of its objective. It cried, Ah due to my lack of deeper and wider awareness before this insight about things, I was out of sight and out of mind of other communities. Word MAKHAAD is from root KHAA, WOW and DWAD. Concrete meaning of this root is to make something move for some purpose. Also shake, wade, ford, pain of child birth, to plunge into something heedlessly, to tackle something, to attack something resolutely and energetically or with full force, to consider some idea or thing thoughtfully and thoroughly, to ponder deeply and widely over something for some reason, to engage in discussion or debate, to walk in or through water or something else that similarly impedes normal movement, to make one's way arduously, to cross or pass through something that poses difficulty or hardship, ambiguity, confusion, chaos, fence or something like a fence, and enclosure of some sort, a container, hook or something like a hook in some sense, something that has something to do with hook, crooked, crookedness, ambiguity or confusion, something that can take the weight of responsible, plant or something like a plant or tree in some sense, something that can develop and grow to its full strength or size, to engage in discussion without much knowledge, to shake up violently, to take something very seriously, to indulge in idle talk or malicious gossip, to talk abusively, to speak ill or evil of someone etc etc. Word JIZI is from root JEEM, ZAAL and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is foundation of something. Also main part of something very close to its roots or foundation, trunk of palm-tree, new, novel, to starve something of something eg food or water or nourishment for its development be it biological, psychological or sociological, the essential or necessary part of something without which something cannot exist or develop and prosper or stand up, bone or structure for supporting something in some way, young of domestic animals, to cut off or amputate or isolate, camel or something like a camel in some sense, to deny livelihood to someone in some way, something of pivotal importance, something beautiful or reliable or fast or durable, something that can carry weight or responsibility, door or something like a door in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, spring season, water spring, help or support or assistance etc etc. Word NAKHLAH is from root NOON, KHAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is something that helps choosing or sifting something. Also palm-trees, a tree that bears sweet edible fruit, something that helps straining or separating things in some sense for some reason, something chosen or selected for some purpose, date-palms, the select, the dregs, the dregs of society or community, the solid particles that settle at the bottom of a container, a group of people in society who you consider to be immoral and of no value, off-scouring of society, one-percenters, rabble, riffraff, rubbish, scum of the earth, swinish multitude, trash, undesirables, vermin, to sieve, fish or something like a fish in some sense, something smooth and lively, slippery, deceptive, smooth operator, fence or something like a fence in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense etc etc. Words JIZIN NAKHLAH mean the strength of truth that provides foundation for future development, progress and prosperity of human community ie divine revelation, guidance, program, task or goal etc. One can see why Arabs called date-palms nakhlah ie because they lived on this food. So anything they considered of such importance is also called by this name and divine revelation is food for thought that motivates or moves humanity into thinking and taking actions. This verse explains a populace that makes no effort to make its mark therefore it remains unknown and is soon gone and forgotten. For a community to be worth its name it has to show something for itself to be remembered for after it is gone. If we look in the world different people have left their mark on the world in different ways, some that ensured well being of humanity other that ensured its harm or destruction. People who have done things for benefit of mankind are thought of as contributors to well being of humanity and those who did the opposite are not given same status because both sides not equal in the eyes of God or humanity. So it is a good idea to be creative for the benefit of humanity and most important contribution is knowledge that gives dignity to humanity and then the work based upon that knowledge. People who waste their lives if they become aware of it, regret their this action in a big way because it is difficult to live with such burden in mind. However if even then they could pass on the torch of knowledge to their future generations it could still work wonders if they make use of it. In any case leadership alone cannot do much the supporters must also support the leadership in actions. Each person in a team is important because if anyone fails the team fails because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. A family is as strong as its weakest member. Since human family is a mixture of weak and strong members so if it set-up and organised as well as regulated properly then it can work wonders otherwise it a matter of two steps forward and one step backward or even more depending upon how many members are really good and how many really bad and how many are of some help at least and how many cause some troubles at least. All this decides speed of development and progress of humanity as a whole or a particular family or community as a whole. In a family or brotherhood people who make lives of each other difficult only ruin themselves and others. 24] that is how a voice from its supporting element came saying, regret not, your Creator and Sustainer surely has appointed a leadership for ensuring your well being, Word SARIYAA is from roots SEEN, WOW/YAA and RAA; SEEN, RAA and WOW/YAA etc already explained ie it means biography, story of someone’s life, something that travels eg troops or water or a movement or something that takes care of something, journey of discovery, someone or something that leads a journey etc etc. Words MIN TAHTI HAA mean subordinate ie a group or party working under it or on its objective or goal etc. A person from among its leadership or administration or management or community etc. A person under command or autority or in leadership etc etc. The very same person can be a leader as well as a follower in different respects eg a community can appoint an administration but when administration is in place the community members must follow its directions as individuals. 25] therefore you should continue moving forward with time under the provided proper leadership and guidance because that will bring to you things of need and want in abundance. Word HUZZEE is from root HAA, ZAA and ZAA. Concrete meaning of this root is movement. Also to be alive or become lively or alive, to keep going or carry on, to keep moving, to shake or vibrate, to walk briskly, to bring forth plants or greenery or growth or prosperity, rumbling or quivering or trembling, commotion or upheaval or revolution or movement, to rattle, to stir up, to bring to life, to perk up, window or something like a window in some sense, window of opportunities, ways and means to some end, a way to look at things, a way to something, senses that help brain and body to interact within outside world, tool or instrument or something like a tool or an instrument in some sense, something that helps do something, a weapon, something to measure or gauge something with, a standard to go by, to inspire or move or motivate, to push something very hard to make it move, to try to drive something, to be lustful, to become motivated or inspired or part of a movement, to dance or rock, the movement of branches of plants and tree by strong wind etc etc. Word TUSAAQIT is from root SEEN, QAAF and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is falling of something in some sense. Also freefall, achievement of a goal or objective, falling of something into one’s lap, reaching one’s objective or goal, a desire or ambition or goal a person works for and achieves it, success in getting something or accomplishing something, miscarriage, loss of unborn child, loss of outcome of an action, loss of fruit of labour, to become ashamed or sad or confused, to regret doing or not doing something for some reason, to rub hands in depression or worry or anxiety due to some loss or damage, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, example, way of life, rule of law, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, clever, agile, deceptive, mischievous, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, something that makes someone famous or well known, something that acts as an example or guide, falling off, to stumble upon or come across or meet, to deviate from, to become a low life or debased or rejected, to drop in a sequence one after the other, to shower, to cause to trail or follow, to cause to fall in place, to drop or drop out of a team or to prevent someone from participating in something or stop oneself from being a part of something or be exclude from something, to cause to drop or fall down etc etc. Word RUTABAA is from root RAA, TWAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is ripe in some sense. Also something that is proper or right or appropriate in some sense, something that has developed or grown to its full potential, ripened fresh dates, to be succulent, moisture, wetness, fluid or liquid, water or rain, something that shows that something is alive and healthy as it should be, palm-trees, to be soft or tender hearted or kind or compassionate, to ripen dates, to prepare or train something for some purpose, head or something like a head in some sense, chief or leader or manger or controller, the top part or top section of something, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense etc etc. Word JANIYAA is from root JEEM, NOON and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is pick. Also to select or choose, to pick fruit of trees or plants, to harvest crop, to dig a ditch with a pick, to commit a crime, to accuse one of a crime, harvest or yield or crop or crime or ditch, fruit ready for picking, ripened fruit that falls down from a tree when it is shaken, camel or something like a camel in some sense, something beautiful or reliable or lasting, something that can carry burden or responsibility, rope, fish or something like a fish in some sense, deceptive, smooth, lively, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power or authority or something within reach, an achievement or an accomplishment, end goal or target or objective, happiness or prosperity or abundance of things or livelihood etc etc. 26] So take part in learning and teaching this program and keep your eyes focused on the set goals and provided guidelines therein but if you come across anything invented by anyone in the name of Allah say, I am committed to responsibility placed upon me by the Master of the universe that hence forth I should not say anything in His name which is not from Him but is invented by mankind against His program, constitution and law. This verse draws attention to two contrasting ideas a)Islam as a deen from Allah and b)religion as made up by humans themselves and attributed to Allah in order to push deen of Allah out of their way so that they could use and abuse each other at will as they wish. Throughout the Quran this is a consistent argument which questions right of people ruling people in the name of human society, politics, economics and religions etc and attributing this falsehood to God ie Allah has given them this right in his scriptures. As for the Quran, it clearly stated repeatedly that there is no ruler other than Allah and if anyone says otherwise then whole of humanity is in a huge trouble, why? Because it divides people in this kingdom of God and that division spells uncontrollable huge troubles between human beings that could harm humanity and cause a lot of destruction in the world. This is why the Quran is stressing TOWHEED=the unity of Godhead the most. The belief in multi Gods or rulers has no affect on God but it seriously affects humanity itself in a very negative and destructive way. This is why God does not want humans to go after ideas and actions that could harm and destroy humanity therefore the stress on keeping God alone in mind as the sole ruler of this universe for two reasons ie one, it is the truth and the other, it could save humanity from a lot of bother. If people will keep dividing on baseless grounds then humanity will have no future because then it will keep fighting over all its nonsense beliefs that only and only bring harm and destruction to it. So individuals and groups arise from time to time who try to persuade other people away from harmful and destructive ways of living but social, political, economic and religion based vested interests throw cold water on such movements and conspire all the time against such individuals and movements. Only when masses become aware the harmful and destructive leadership will lose its place in human society. That is not going to happen till people become self aware and aware of what is going on all around them and then look for guidance of Allah and find it and stick to it for their own good as a proper human community. 27] After agreeing upon leadership and accepting responsibilities the community brought its leadership before its existing overall social, political, economic and religious etc leadership but they said, O Mariam, you have done things to cause divisions in our community by going against our tradition. Word FARIYAA is from root FAA, RAA and YAA. Concrete meaning of this word is to chop. Also to cut into pieces, to tear up, to separate or divide or isolate or boycott, to acquire riches, to fabricate, to invent or forge lies, to feign, to make something up, to commit a crime or sin or abomination, to do something strange or untraditional, to do something against a custom or law, to attribute something falsely to someone, to accuse one falsely, to make a false claim, to be an imposter, to make a false representation, calumny, to accuse something without any proof, to make a claim without any foundation, something wonderful or amazing or great or shocking or unprecedented or strange or contrived, something unheard of, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, devour or consume, gap, difference, discrimination, head or something like a head in some sense, manager or leader, ruling elite, money lenders, priesthood, top part or section of something, cream of the crop, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power, grasp, reach, grip etc etc. This like verses tell us how well established leadership treats anyone who challenges it by belittling him and by telling masses how grand they are and what great works they have done for them eg look at mandirs, temples, masjids, churches, synagogues etc etc they build and how many tombs have been built and labelled saints residence etc etc. Masses do not realise that if these people do not do such things they will be gone in no time. It is because through these things they make fool of masses that they keep surviving due to stupidity of the masses. The real test of what they have done for the people will be how many educational institution they have build and how many works they have produced for mankind which make them self aware and aware of universal realities so that they could see what is really going on in the real world and thereby they see the need for divine intervention in form of divine guidance. However time is approaching when these tricks will finally become ineffective. It is because as a result of masses being kept ignorant world population is increasing which cannot be catered for so people will have to look for alternative solutions than those offered by rulers, money lenders and mullahs and those solution are not going to be forth coming and that will spell the end of these rascals and bloodsuckers of humanity. This verse is talking about leadership of BANI ISRAEL ie the community called Mariam has come to face rulers, money lenders and mullahs of from within children of Israel. It shows first one has to sort out oneself then one’s own family and relatives and friends and then the circle keeps increasing and expanding till almost whole of one’s own community embraces the change and once that is achieved then it is time to start a dialogue between communities and so on and so forth. The main thing is to remember that one is only trying to create a coalition of the willing from among the people. 28] O sister of community of Aaron, your community leadership never dictated anything against religion nor was your community a rebellious community against God. This verse tells how these tricksters avoid criticism through misdirection. They put themselves forth as grand people who do each and everything according to divine will and their following is said to be doing as told so they are a bunch of good people and anyone that criticises them and exposes them before masses is the bad guy. These people have to do this but why masses must keep listening and following them when it is they who are sucking them dry, this is really a strange thing that mankind need to discover. It shows their grip on necks of people both physically and mentally is very tight and very difficult to loose or break. A clear picture of what is going on even today throughout the world ie how rulers, money lenders and priests have woven a net for masses to keep them trapped in there so that the their use and abuse continues unchallenged. It should be noted that the Quran uses words that are in common use for various relationships but in its own context for its own purpose as already explained in detail. So words like ABOO or UMMU or UKHTA etc do not mean father and mother or sister in the biological family sense but in sense of community ie leader of community or community or sister community etc etc. 29] In response she pointed to her leadership to respond. Seeing themselves in trouble they said, how can we talk to a youngster about complex social, political, economic and religious matters who is as if it were still in the cradle and a baby for them. Word MAHDI is from root MEEM, HAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is the starting point. Also where something is or whereof something starts in some sense for some purpose, the earth is called MAHD because it is a resting place for mankind or where from humans came or where from people travel in to space or to moon, it also means cradle or cradle of civilisation or learning and training place where from one gets education and skills for better life, bedding, to do what is beneficial for people, infancy, childhood or young age, tender, local place as compared to a remote place or a place at a distance from the local place where one lives or is from, sleeping place, to prepare or train or educate, make even, facilitate, introduce, straighten things up, to pave the way, to make even or level, to facilitate, to introduce, to smooth out things, to make good provisions, to make agreeable, to remove all obstacles or troubles or difficulties or hardships, to spread out, to plain, to make habitable, something well prepared, widely spread out, widely stretched, an expanse, open space or place, open minded person, a person with extensive knowledge of things or with extensive ability to learn things, abode or resting place, water or something like water in some sense, energy or something life giving or inspiring, window or something like a window in some sense, window of opportunities, a window to outside world, senses, ways and means to an end, ladder, door or something like a door in some sense, controlled entry or exist, way to some end etc etc. This verse shows how ignorant, illiterate, uneducated and unthinking grown-up people look down upon youngsters no matter how well educated and knowledgeable they are when they confront them for their ignorance. They get offended for no reason at all. This is the reason the Quran does not allow personality worship because it gives birth to personality cults whereby some people become very arrogant due to sense of domination by undermining others. All human beings are respectable but only as human beings and within set limits. Each and every person is answerable to each and every person according to law of Allah regardless of age factor or relationship factor. A son is free to question his father if he does anything against the rule of law of Allah in view of his son. All must keep each other right or the world will end up in a mess if people let go of each other when they broke the law of Allah. A lawless society is not a human society at all but a crowded jungle full of animals. 30] Thereupon the young man full of energy spoke out, I am indeed on a mission from Allah. He has given me His program, constitution and law and appointed me as His messenger for children of Israel. 31] He has blessed me with knowledge of blissful, dignifying and life securing program to face any situation or circumstances anywhere in the world as well as advised me to work hard for establishing a proper human community network according to it for as long as I live Word MUBAARKAA is from root BAA, RAA and KAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is someone most creative, productive and constructive who helps others to be most creative, productive and constructive as well. Also most caring or most concerned for well being of oneself and others, something from which springs abundance of goodness, something full of blessings or abundance or something that blesses or grants things to others in abundance, someone or something from which comes plenty of goodness for others, provider of sustenance or livelihood or things of need and want, useful things or things of need and want, facilities or luxuries, comfort or ease, chest of a camel, thorax, to lie down on the chest, a group of camels, bounty, to be great in generosity, to be deserving appreciation or praises due to doing a lot of good for others, house or something like a house in some sense, shelter or sanctuary, head or something like a head in some sense, manager or controller, ruling elite, top part or top section of a community or something, palm of hand or something like a palm of hand in some sense, to have something within one’s fist or grip, to be soft or compassionate or kind, cushion etc etc. 32] and thereby free my community from inflicting harms and destruction upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other because he has not made me a tyrant and an oppressor to cause divisions in the human community for personal gains at the expense of others through dominating others by undermining them. Here is the truth from mouth of Jesus ie program of Islam as ADDEEN and definition of good leadership. The true way of living for human community is to live for each other and true leadership is not about ruling people but serving them. This is how Jesus exposes falsehood by social, political, economic and religious leadership that is ruling children of Israel at the time instead of leading them in accordance to divine guidance as they were supposed to. This is the main reason the whole atheist, Hindu, Parsee, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Sikh etc world is trying to fight off deen of Islam or the actual message of the Quran today, because they want to live by way of life based on personal gains at the expense of each other instead of a brotherhood of humanity. It matters not what names they use for their social, political, economic or religious ideology. They create divisions among people and they want to keep those divisions intact so long as they can but the message of Allah is very clear that they will keep losing ground to deen of Islam no mater whatever tricks and mechanisms they use to try to stop the nature from taking its course. 33] Instead to establish deen of Islam is my mission since the day I was made responsible for it and to establish deen of Islam remains my mission till the day my responsibility for the mission expires due to the duration of time I remain firm and lively. 34] Such was Jesus the final successor of leadership of community of Mariam and this is the true statement of account about him concerning which they are in confusion. 35] It is not possible nor befitting or necessary for Allah that He Himself should have or need a successor, the whole creation is His work alone as He is ever existing and so powerful that He needs no support in planning and executing anything therefore when He plans anything all He needs is express His will to initiate the process and it begins to take shape in reality. These verses tell what Jesus said about God. He never made any claim about being a God instead he said, the God of the universe is his God as well and that he is only a man like other people except that he is sent as a messenger by God to people for ensuring their well being through setting them up by organising them and regulating with help of guidance from Allah. There is nothing supernatural about Jesus or even God himself in the Quran except for creation and revelation and God being a God. So attributing anything supernatural to any creature is nothing less than ignorance and foolishness or stupidity when humanity is at its worst. 36] Jesus himself said, verily Allah is my Creator and Sustainer as well as of all the other created things therefore serve none as ruler other than Him. This is the deen of Islam that is firmly founded in reason for living in the real world properly. There is only one ruler in this kingdom of the universe namely Allah and rest all are his creations so the only rule of law that mankind and all other things must adhere to his rule of law only. This is why Islam is the proper way of life that can lead mankind to unity, peace, progress and prosperity if people understood it properly and followed it faithfully. 37] Despite of all this clear explanation by Jesus, the groups from among children of Israel are stuck to way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other which keeps them divided so in due course on a momentous day of uprising, a terrible harm and destruction by hands of each other is bound to hit those who reject and oppose Our guidance. What is this destruction the Quran is talking about? It is not punishment from God because he did not create man to punish him instead he is explaining for man which path is right for him and he is not following it so the end result is divisions and divisions between mankind only and only has one outcome and that is war between people. No war is good for mankind because it destroys people and what they have built so far and that takes humanity away from unity, peace, progress and prosperity. This is why such people are called a cursed people because they have taken themselves away from the path that leads to blissful, dignified and secure existence till they change their way of life to that which is advised by Allah. Allah is not interested in mullahs’ nonsense which they attribute to him by way of their misinterpretations of scripture and its misrepresentations. Nowhere in the Quran God threatens or punishes any people at all, all he does is warns people don’t go that way there is a danger ahead on that path. If a people do not listen and carry on regardless then if that danger engulfs them in due course then that had to happened because that is the way the universe is set-up to work. It is insult not only to God but human intelligence as well to not to try and make sense of what God is actually saying and instead talk nonsense about God and humanity. Once people give no importance to information and ways of making sense of it then people fail to communicate to each other proper things properly and the end result is fighting like animals among human beings and that is insulting and injurious for humanity. In other words insulting God by rejecting his message has its very serious consequences or repercussions for mankind but we humans do not look at things in wider and deeper context, do we? 38] How clear will be their hearing and how clear will be their seeing on the day when Our set-up systems and laws will bring them face to face with the consequences of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other even though just now these inflictors of harms and destructions upon each other are living their lives by a way of life that clearly leads them away from Our advised way of life but they are bothered not with realising it despite Our explanations and warnings. 39] So O Muhammad, alert the divided humanity about the day of intense regrets if this matter becomes obvious through terrible results of peoples’ own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other, for they are paying no attention to consequences when they are planning their actions and that is why they are failing to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity. 40] Surely it is Us alone Who own this whole world and all that is in it that is why mankind have no other way to secure their blissful and dignified existence than turning to Our provided guidance. These like verses leave one in no doubt that after all mankind do as per their wishes and desires ultimately it will dawn on humanity that there is no way to live a good life other than the way told by God, so why not do it now and save oneself a lot of unnecessary bother and terrible painful suffering? 41] Moreover let Us talk about Abraham in this book of Ours the Quran, he was surely of Our messengers who fulfilled Our mission for ensuring well being of humanity. 42] Pay attention to what he said to leadership of his people at the time, he said, O leadership of my people, why do you take for a ruler such a one who does not fully know your needs and is unable to comprehensively fulfil them therefore cannot ensure your well being at all as a proper human community? As explained already word AB does not mean biological fatherhood only but leadership as well as many other fatherly roles. Here the Quran is talking about elders of tribes or chiefs including tribal leaders and priests etc who decide who their top or over all chief or ruler should be. The problem is not with management or administration but constitution and law according to which these people live their lives whereby they end up being a divided people ending up in all sorts of problems and troubles with each other due to adopting a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. Ibraheem is appointed a messenger by Allah for these people to show them proper way of living their lives as a brotherhood instead of being divided into rulers and subjects or masters and slaves of each other. He does not take up a sword and go for ruling people by force but instead tells them, come let us work together through learning and teaching the right way to live and then let us set-up ourselves into an organised and regulated proper human community according to guidance of Allah so that we could thereby ensure well being of all of us. He tells his people that individually we are in no position to be rulers of all others because as individuals our personal strength and knowledge is not comprehensive so we have no ability to ensure well being of all others on our own as individuals therefore the best way forward for us is to support each other by being eyes and ears of each other and by being strength of each other. So anyone who stands in opposition to this idea is a satan ie an opponent of way of life advised by Allah. This is why anyone who calls away from way of life advised by Allah is called a leader to a way of life that is harmful and destructive for mankind. Word SHAITAAN is mainly used in this context in the Quran but not only in that context because it is also used in sense of clever or expert or skilful person as well. 43] O leadership of my people, I have been given some information by Allah indeed which has not come to you, therefore support me so that I guide you to the way of life that is proper for blissful, dignified and secure existence of a proper human community. 44] Therefore O leadership of my people, do not rely upon the leadership of the harmful and destructive leader because such a leader works against the program, constitution and law of the Master of the universe. Word SHAITAAN is from roots SHEEN, TWAA and TWAA; SHEEN, TWAA and NOON and SHEEN, YAA and TWAA. It has been explained already. 45] O leadership of my people, I am concerned that due to the way of life you have adopted in due course of time a disaster may strike you by hands of each other due to being supporters of harmful and destructive leadership about which Our Creator and Sustainer has made us aware already. These like verses make it amply clear that it is not good enough that we do not do anything wrong to anyone as individuals but that we must also make sure that we do not allow anyone else to do that to anyone else either. If we mind our business and bother not with what is going on all around us in our world then soon that which is going on elsewhere will reach us as well and that is how the whole community could be engulfed by it. The leadership and community must keep each other right at all times as well as all members of human community through setting up all needed systems, structures, procedures and practices. A human society must be properly set-up, organised and regulated to work like a properly working machine that fits the purpose it is made for. There has to be a proper work, rest and play program in place for any human community to live a properly balanced life. Indulging in over work, over rest and over play is not going to be beneficial for any people to ensure their well being. 46] The leadership of his people said, how dare you question my appointment of rulers for our people, O Abraham? If you do not stop from this campaign of yours and reform as per our tradition then I will banish you from this land so you will be forced to remove yourself from my jurisdiction for good.

No religious nonsense is found in the Quran at all which leads to fatalism, a clear proof that mullahs are off the track either through ignorance of their own or due to ignorance of others who failed to see the message of Allah in its own proper context from its own text or due to ignorance based vested interests. This is why masses must not follow anyone blindly. The main two points are a must for all who claim to be Muslims to come to know a)the Quranic as we have today is in its original text beyond a shadow of doubt as explained already and b)what the text in the Quran actually means in its proper context or at least what cannot mean at all no matter who says it does, particularly if such people are mullahs who say the Quran is a holy book of religion of Islam instead of deen of Islam. 51] Let Us also mention Moses in Our book the Quran, he was of a sound mindset, attitude and behaviour because he was one of Our messengers with a message from Us to deliver to his people. Word MUKHLASAA is from root KHAA, LAAM and SWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is purity. Also unadulterated, clear or not confused, sincere and not superfluous, having clarity of mind and proper attitude and faithful behaviour, to extricate, to be unblemished, to extract, to squeeze out, to select above other, something special, something in particular, one of a kind, to befriend, to protect or bring to safety, to reach safety, to arrive, to join someone, to be alone with, to be the only thing or person, to draw away from others, to retire or move to one side, to be out of the way of someone, to devote or dedicate oneself or something else to something, to isolate one or purify one, to distinguish someone with something, to define or point out something or someone in particular, something complete or total or whole or true, to the exclusion of all else, the chosen one, fence or something like a fence in some sense, plant or tree or something like a plant or tree in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense etc etc. 52] We invited him towards Our set goals and guidelines that were proper and that is how We raised him to Our set standard to act as a saviour of people from a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other due to which they inflicted harms and destructions upon each other. 53] We granted him support from Us for implementation of Our program, constitution and law in form of his brother Aaron whom We also appointed as a messenger along with him. 54] And let Us also speak about Ishmael in Our book the Quran, he too fulfilled his covenant with Us because he too was Our appointed messenger for delivering Our message to people, 55] so he told his people to establish a proper human community network in order to remove all ills and obstacles from the community that stop it from growing, developing and progressing to its full potential, that is how he sought consistency with program of his Creator and Sustainer. 56] Yet other person We should talk about in Our book is Idris, he too fulfilled his mission faithfully as a messenger from Us to his people, 57] due to which We raised his people to the standard of blissful, dignified and secure existence. 58] These were some of the prophets upon whom Allah bestowed His program, constitution and law for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind from among the children of Adam like the ones We carried along with Noah on the journey of discovery and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel as well as many others whom We chose for messengership and provided them with Our guidance for mankind, and whenever the goals and guidelines of the Master of the universe were proclaimed to them for acting upon, they acted upon them fully and that is how they ended up with prosperity in abundance. 59] However the generations that succeeded them abandoned Our given program, constitution and law for bring about and maintaining a proper human community network and instead they became consistent with their own invented way of life based upon their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires founded upon personal gains at the expense of each other and that is why they will soon face the consequences of their deviation from Our provided foundation and rebelling against it In this verse one should pay special attention to word SALAAH v word SHAHWAAT. One way of life is supposed to be based upon firm foundation from God and other is is based on whims of people in positions of power. In another place the Quran tells people SALAAH stops from all kinds of ills in human community. A clear proof that SALAAH does not mean daily prayers. Not only that it is also illogical to think that God would dictate people to pray to him. If anyone needs anything from God he will have to ask for it in time of needing it and God has already provided things for all needs of people, so all one needs is learn how to make use of them and how to make proper use of them and that depends on human brain and senses because it involved research and exploration. Certain uses of word SALAAH in the Quran clearly contradict the mullah version of Islam. The daily gatherings serves another purpose and that is reminding oneself and each other about the covenant or agreement between God and mankind ie that they will follow guidance from God and that God will reward them with the kind of life they are promised. Islam does have rituals but not for the purposes the mullahs teach people. Asking anything from God is all about finding answers from the Quran. The Quran has all the answer for mankind they will ever need for their questions. It is totally absurd to think God fails to answer peoples’ prayers rather it is question of whether people are looking for the answers in the right places or waiting for God to come to them and tell them answers face to face. Likewise God is not looking for empty words as praises from people rather he wants people to understand his guidance and act on it and the result will force one to praise the Master because mankind will benefit from use of provided things appropriately. Symbols in Islam are just reminders for actual realities of real life. They are not goals in themselves. What mullahs have done is they have instilled in minds of people symbols as goals in themselves ie you pray so that you go to paradise. The real point in all this is that you ask questions regarding real life situations and circumstances to find out how to deal with them by reading the Quran to understand it and once answer comes to light follow the given direction and problems will be solved and life will become peaceful. Only when people have problems and they do not read the Quran to look for answers and therefore do not act on the Quranic directions so they remain troubled and agitated by the unsolved problems. 60] save those who will stop living by that way of life and adopt Our advised way of life by turning to Our guidance and committing to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity and will do works that remove rifts from within human population and help humanity make progress and prosper as a proper human community therefore they will soon end up in blissful, dignifying and secure life providing kingdoms wherein they will suffer no harm at all by hands of each other. 61] The blissful, dignifying and secure life providing kingdoms full of raw materials that are promised by the Master of the universe to people consistent with His guidance in the future, This is such a promise which is bound for fulfilling. Verses such as these should leave one in no doubt that God wants people to follow his guidance or program for the reason of turning this world into a world in which people love to live all by their own efforts and hard works. Mankind float or sink as one family it is therefore not right for people to follow any way of life that puts them on collision course with each other ie systems and structures, procedures and practices for management of humanity and available resources cannot be other than the ones told by God or humanity will never get out of cycle of inflicting harms and destructions upon each other. The Godly promised kingdoms are nothing more than states wherein people will work hard for the good of each other instead of trying to rob each other of livelihood and therefore life and thereby ending up in terrible unending hatred, fights and wars. In this surah the whole lecture is about mission and missionaries as individuals and as communities and the vital importance of success of mission for the well being of humanity. 62] Therein they will sense no hatred or animosity against each other but only peaceful atmosphere due to their ensuring well being of each other and that is why they will end up with all things of need day and night. 63] Such is the blissful, dignifying and secure existence with which We provide the people who are consistent with Our guidance and each other. 64] However Our messengers and missionaries made clear to their people that we cannot bring about blissful, dignified and secure existence providing kingdoms for you but only according to plan of your Creator and Sustainer. According to His plan alone can happen whatever is ahead of us to happen in the future and whatever has already happened in the past before us and whatever is to happen in between these two, so remember always that your Creator and Sustainer never forgets or neglects His set-up systems and laws or plan and purpose. This verse should leave one in no doubt at all that Allah has created this world with a purpose in his mind and therefore according to his plan and that is why he has set-up systems and laws in this universe to make all things works properly so that the plan of Allah is successful and fulfils his purpose of creation of the universe. 65] The Creator and Sustainer of the farthest galaxies as well as this galaxy and all that lies in between them therefore abide by His guidance and be constantly and steadfastly consistent in acting upon His program to succeed. Can you the mankind therefore prove any other being equal to Him? No wonder none is equal to Allah because he has done all this without any problems. This is how his creation and his revelation together prove his existence beyond any reasonable doubt for the people who have learned to be wise. 66] Yet man asks that when he has fallen down from status of blissful, dignified and secure existence due to his mistakes, could this program from Allah raise him back to life of blissful, dignified and secure existence? 67] Does man not recall that We originated and evolved him already when he did not even exist and raised him to life of blissful, dignified and secure existence? Like many verses in the Quran this verse has parallel meanings ie man was nothing yet it were set-up systems and laws that brought him about and shaped him into a human being in biological sense as well as in psychological sense and in sociological sense. 68] So through this testimonial proof from your Creator and Sustainer let this also be known to mankind for certain that Our set-up systems and laws do gather the harmful and destructive masses along with their harmful and destructive leaderships around the pit of fire of hatred between them utterly subdued as a result of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. 69] That is how in due course from each of the people We for sure bring out in the open their stoutest rebels against the program, constitution and law of the Master of the universe. 70] In time We certainly make them obvious for mankind who deserve most to be burned in their self created hell. 71] There is not a single population among you the mankind who will not come across this situation who are based upon harmful and destructive foundation, the systems and laws of your Creator and Sustainer have been put in place in such a way that they are inescapable. 72] However We will save from all this those who are consistent with Our guidance but We will leave the inflictors of harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other in their self created mess utterly defeated by their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. Word JISIYAA is from roots JEEM, SAA and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is mound. Also a pile of something, rock-pile or pile of dust or sand, sand dune or a small hill, a body or mass of something, a grave or tomb, to become or make into a pile of something, defeated, to make one bite the dust, to overcome or overpower, to become defeated, to be on one’s knees, be humbled, accept defeat, vanquished, to kneel, be humble, disgraced, debased, camel or something like a camel in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, hook or something like a hook, hand or something like a hand in some sense, to succumb to, to give in to, to give up something, to stop doing something etc etc. 73] That is because when Our clearly set goals for them to accomplish according to Our provided guidelines, the chiefs of opponents of Our guidance ask those who are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity, which of our two parties has better foundation to stand upon and appears more attractive in comparison to each other? This verse is talking about changes during a period of time from the time when a community has reached the heights of excellence as a community based on community spirit from the time was worth nothing and then it starts on a new basis of personal gains at the expense of each other and falls into abyss of darkness and poverty of all sorts. In this case things look good for a while for those who gain but in due course all that prosperity disappears and the community collapses due to rivalries and animosities as losers increase in numbers due to natural differences between people as explained in detail already. Lesson of the Quran is, build community based life and then maintain it and so long as community life is maintained there is no end to it but it does not happen that way because some smart person comes along and disturbs this balance by introducing his way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and thereby destroys everything for everyone. In the beginning personal gains based way of life works for those who are advantaged therefore they are dominant in society but as time passes all things gradually come under control of fewer and fewer people and divide in the community keeps increasing so much so that masses of people end up losers and that is the point when reaction comes about and the whole society is turned upside down due to infighting between those who have much more than what they actually need the while the rest are left with nothing much to continue living their lives. When that state is reached you cannot control world by mere tough legislation because it becomes struggle for survival and natural laws come into play leading to total breakdown of a society till new foundation is agreed upon and people start building their society again. People with bellies full come and give lessons of civility to those with empty stomachs who have nothing to live for. The Quran is full of verses that are warning people do not live like that or you will live to regret it. Human history is has been full of bloody revolutions but mankind have not yet learned the lessons needed to be learned fully so that these things do not happen anymore, not only between same people but also between people of different places and races etc as well. There has to be a proper international body that should raise these issues and at least minimise this carry on and sooner rather than later. There should not be any poor nations in the international human community. Poverty must be eradicated if humanity wants to live in peace to make progress and be prosperous. The Quran points out the people who are supposed to be leading the world but does humanity even bothers to understand the divine message or does it listen to divine advice? 74] So do they not know how many generations have We left alone to destroy themselves before them because they stepped aside from Our guidance whose chiefs were far greater in riches and in splendour? As explained already the destruction Allah brings to our attention is in the context that see what I warned you against doing yet some of you did that and look at what happened so learn from that and in future do not do things that way or history will repeat itself and you too will end up the same. There are no verses in the Quran which tell us Allah has ever punished anyone for doing things wrong way because Allah did not create people fully knowing everything. People do things because they are ignorant and it takes them time to educate themselves and meanwhile they do what seems good for themselves and face the consequences of their thoughts and actions because that is the way Allah has set up the world to work for his own purpose. It is rationally impossible to create a world wherein there is no purpose involved because no one does anything without some purpose in one’s mind unless it happens by mistake and God never makes any mistakes. Since he has created world for his purpose which has been explained in detail already so the world has to be the way it is. Only such a person can challenge this who can offer the perfect alternative and so far none has done it yet. This is why one has no right to question the creator and sustainer of this world the way he has created it. The explanation given in the Quran is perfect for its purpose. Coming to question of comparing who is better off Muslims or Kufaar=nonMuslims? The answer is, people who follow the advised way of life by Allah. Just because we have some billionaires and trillionaires does not make our world a better place because such people have gathered wealth through using each other abusively and they continue doing that and they will continue doing that unless masses wake up and change the way of life to that which is advised by Allah. This is unlikely to happen till masses become educated properly so that they could become aware of things as they should and do things as they ought to do them ie properly. Meanwhile whatever people will do will not work in their favour because ignorance and foolishness cannot offer any solutions to anyone and even if anyone offered any solutions the ignorant masses will not be able to see what is right and what is wrong. It is a case of blind people struggling blindly all by themselves to find a way out of a jungle that is full of big troubles and problems. 75] Say to them, any people who remain unaware of themselves and other things they will remain confused and in chaos yet the Master of the universe gives them respite thereby extends opportunity for them for learning and acting properly until they see about which they are warned - be it in form of uprising or in form of neglected natural phenomenon that ends up as a disaster for them- then in due course of time some may come to realize who is standing on a slippery slope and who has the weaker support or foundation to judge things by? This verse like others tells people stop arguing over nonissues and get real because if you do not then while you are arguing aimlessly things are neglected which ought to be paid attention to and if this continues then you are going to be engulfed by crisis, either because soon you are going to end up fighting each other or that you are not going to pay attention to what is happening naturally in the natural universe the way it works and you could end up destroyed by that eg earth quakes or flooding or lightening or things falling to earth from space etc etc. This is like two chicken are busy fighting each other and a couple of hungry foxes comes along and make a meal of them or that they fall into a deep ditch and die after a lot of suffering. So people should watch their steps before taking them that they have somewhere proper to land their feet. They should not walk blindly landing their feet on the hot lava of an active volcano. 76] The fact is, Allah increases in having proper sense of His guidance those who make efforts for becoming self aware and aware of other things that help them guide themselves to do things that are worth doing because everlasting are only the results of such thoughts and actions of people as help mankind develop to their full potential, such are the thoughts and actions that meet set standard of your Creator and Sustainer and bring real satisfaction for individuals as a proper human community. 77] Have you considered the mindset, the attitude and the behaviour of the one who lives in opposition to Our set goals and guidelines therefore works hard for getting personal wealth and power at the expense of community spirit? 78] Has he gained sure knowledge of the bright future for himself or has he been awarded a contract by the Creator, Sustainer and Provider of all things of need for all, that, all this is going to work out fine for him? This verse brings up a very important point that personal gain at the expense of community life will be fine for a person if everything was under control of the person because then one is aware he is secure in every way, however this is not the case and the very people one is working for or working against may stab him in the back at any time. After all building on foundation of personal gain at the expense of all others leaves a person open to attacks from all angles because there is only vested interest without any sense for loyalty to anyone other than oneself. So why not build on basis of community spirit which gives one as much security as is really possible and there is then no limit to hoarding all you can as a part of a proper human community. All can dig out gold as much as they love, all can have as many kids as many they want because then sky is the limit. It is all up to individuals as a community to plan their lives in a way that helps them develop to their full potential. So long as people stick together and do things to the best of their individual abilities for the good of each that will take them forward in leaps and bounces, they can work as hard as they want because it is all for themselves but what they cannot do nor can afford to do is, sit idle or argue over nonissues and start fighting among themselves. All that is sure recipe for disaster after disaster. A very strong slap on faces of stupid mullahs who tell us Allah does not want people to have good thing in life of this world. According top the Quran deen of Islam is fundamentally about having good things of life in this world because without having a good life in this world people cannot accomplish higher goals set for them by Allah. The problem is not good life but having a good life at the expense of each other. So long as people work together and move forward together that is exactly what deen of Islam demands of people. This is why mullahs’ nonsense in the name of deen of Islam must be ignored and mullahs should be isolated and educated in knowledge about what real Islam is all about. It is very important for ummah to challenge its rulers, mullahs, money lenders, their touts and supporters at each step of the way otherwise ummah cannot come out of mess it is put in by these people for personal gains at the expense of this ummah. 79] By no means he can know his actual future for sure nor can he have control over everything as an individual for his personal gains at the expense of proper human community instead it is all up to Our set-up systems and laws to deal with all that he expresses through his thoughts, words and actions and Our laws can make his life a very long and very hard struggle for him but all for nothing much at all 80] because it is We who own all that he boasts about including his own very self that is why he has to turn to Our guidance otherwise he will end up a total wreck and a failure as an individual. Sooner or later the terrible results of one’s harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against others catch up with an individual and he ends up a total failure and a person full of regrets because he did not bother with looking for the truth about existence and its purpose. Despite all one has accomplished in his life if one did not ponder over his own coming to life and its purpose, the person is nothing at all and has not accomplished anything at all. This will become clear when one will be made to face outcome of his own thoughts and actions. This is why one must not try to act like a God in this world rather one should act like a human being who contributes to well being of humanity due to being mindful of guidance of his creator and sustainer. 81] All because people have taken each other as masters and slaves instead of living by guidance of Allah as a brotherhood, so that they could have some power over each other by various tricks and mechanisms. 82] By no means they can succeed in living their lives properly that way therefore soon even those whom they take for masters will come to giving up their power and status over others because they will be constantly forced by those whom they take for their slaves. Word ZIDDAA is from root DWAAD, DAAL and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something opposite of something in some sense. Also to rise up or stand up against something, conflict or contradiction, opposing ideas or actions or things, things which cannot stand each other so if one of them is present the other has to be absent, plant or something like a plant in some sense, to squeeze out something from something in some sense, to extract something out of something in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, a path or road, controlled entry or exist, contradictory statements or testimonies or evidences, opposing parties or groups of people etc etc. 83] Why do you the mankind not observe and try to understand things regarding how We leave on their own the dominant harmful and destructive individuals to take over the leadership of those who reject and oppose Our guidance to lead them into rage against each other by basing their lives on a way of life that leads to rivalries and animosities for personal gains at the expense of each other? Word AZZAA is from root ALIF, ZAA and ZAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to ignite fire. Also to inflame or drive into rage, to ignite anger or outrage, to light up fire and make it burn fiercely by giving it more and more fuel or oxygen by fans or bellows, to generate more and more heat or light or both, to make fire burn bright, the boiling of a pot, to make an environment full of heat or light or both, to poison the environment or atmosphere, to campaign very hard for or against something, convulsive motion, be impatient, agitation, twitch, throb, palpitation, vibration, involuntary movement, dance, jumping about, be energetic or lively, bull or something like a bull in some sense, power or authority, weapon or tool or something like a weapon or a tool in some sense, to be instrumental in doing or accomplishing something etc etc When people remain ignorant and have no self awareness and awareness of what is really going on all around them people who are looking for opportunities to take over positions of power take over human populations and use and abuse them at will to further their own agendas by way of implementing their own plans and programs and in doing that they harm or destroy a population of a people as a whole. Ignorance is therefore to be avoided at all costs or results will always be terrible. People who deliberately remain ignorant are less in status than worst of the living things so they deserve what they get in form of leadership that uses them abusively. However mankind are told that this is not going to remain the situation for ever rather time is coming when people will have learned enough from the life experiences of many generations that they will no long accept things the way they are or are done. So evolutionary revolutions will keep bringing changes with time if people do not take education based revolutionary steps like the messengers of Allah. So if people want to avoid painful suffering over a very long period of time then they have no choice but to educate themselves and each other to get out of this cycle of evolutionary bloody revolutions. Muslims who blindly follow their mullahs leaving th Quran aside must wake up and see what Allah is saying about the KUFAAR=nonMuslims the very same applies to blind followers of mullahs and from the situation the ummah is facing it should be clear to them how good followers of the Quranic guidance they are. Just by declaring one’s commitment to deen of Islam one does not become a true Muslim unless one proves one’s declaration true by one’s deeds as well. Saying one thing and doing another makes one a double faced liar or a hypocrite. So one has to see for oneself how good a Muslim one really is. Mere declaration of commitment to Islam only serves legal requirement for categorising one among Muslims but Allah knows hearts and minds of people so one cannot fool him or oneself. Sooner or later actions will speak for themselves as to what exactly one is committed to. 84] Therefore worry not excessively about guiding them, because number of days and quality of their existence are dependent upon the way of life they adopt for themselves as a human population. Word TAJAL is from root AIN, JEEM and LAAM. Already explained but it also means an eye or something like an eye in some sense, water well, spring season, new beginning, help or support, camel or something like a camel in some sense, an animal, a beast of burden, something that can take on some responsibility or weight, something beautiful or reliable and durable or adorable, something powerful or strong, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, something that motivates or inspires or urges something into being or doing something, calf, bull, holy cow, something that is held sacred, hurry, concern, interest, to have an eye on things, being aware, having information about something, being quick in thinking or taking an action, something taken for granted or as beyond questioning etc etc. 85] Time is surely coming when Our set-up systems and laws will bring together those who will be longing for being fully consistent with the program, constitution and law of the Master of the universe as well as each other, Word WAFDAA is from root WOW, FAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is envoy. Also conveyer of a message, a diplomat, a messenger, an agent, people who gather for a particular purpose to accomplish something or celebrate an accomplishment, to receive compliments or titles or recognitions or goods or services, to be in a group form for some purpose eg to receive awards for some accomplishment, to look out for, to arrive, to show concern for, to be lofty or high in some sense, to look down from a height with concern for others to raise them to same level, the fastest camel in a caravan, a distinguished group of travellers, an honoured group of a people arriving at a residence of a high ranking person, honoured company or group of people, hook or something like a hood in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, to long for, to have wish or desire for, to agree with or be in an agreement with etc etc. 86] because Our set-up systems and laws will drive into hellhole of their own making - like thirsty cattle are driven to water hole- those who commit crimes against humanity in opposition to Our guidance. Word NASOOQ is from root SEEN, WOW and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is a mechanism of a body upon which depends its movement from one place to another. Also a way of life that leads people from one state of existence to another, to herd, to drive, market place, a sequence, a system that drives something to some destination, shin, leg, tree trunk, driver, stem, conveyer, to lead or convey, to direct, to channel, a steering person, captain, to pass on, to guide, a place wherein people participate with each other, an environment or atmosphere, a place wherein people and things play their parts, a system or way of life whereby people live or deal with each other, something upon which something stands or is based upon, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, example, rule of law, a way of life, culture, something that is firmly in place yet keeps moving in some way like a plant or tree, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crooked, something upon which something can be hanged, something twisted or deceptive or wicked, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, clever, mischievous, agile, mimicry, imitation etc etc. Word WIRDAA is from root WOW, RAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is waterhole. Also things driven by thirst to waterhole, drinking herd or flock, to drink at a waterhole, to drive or take a flock or herd of animals to a waterhole for a drink of water, blossoms or flowers, daily task or assignment, to come out in flowers, tree with hanging branches, watering place, turn, road, destination, to approach, to arrive, jugular vein, to appear, to supply, to end up in, to land in, to entre, one who scouts for seeks water, water fetcher, one who brings water, lifeline or livelihood, hook or something like a hook in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, top part or section of a community or something, ruling elite, door or something like a door in some sense, a controlled entry and exist system etc etc. Just as need of quenching thirst makes cattle run to water so people driven by goal of personal gains at the expense of each other are driven to thoughts and actions that help them dominate each other by undermining each other so that they could take away things from each other by way of deceptions, fights and wars against each other, This is why they use tricks and mechanisms to take away things from each other and to enslave each other. The outcome of this way of life cannot be other than harm and destruction of human population after a very long painful suffering. During this rage none of the people will have power to intervene save those who stand properly upon guidance from Allah faithfully. 87] At that time none will have the power to intervene except the proper human community that stands firmly upon its covenant with the Creator, Sustainer and Provider of all things for the mankind. 88] Particularly not those who think, the Master of the universe has a successor. All this is because a people who themselves have no solid base to stand upon cannot provide guidance for others either so they are not in a position to intervene and if they do, they will cause problems instead of solutions and the troubles will flare up yet more. The point made here is that to eliminate troubles you need a solid foundation that is appealing to reason and is consistent like a chain from one end to the other. Emotional outbursts do not last as opposed to properly reasoned out courses of actions for a particular end. The Quran here clearly tells us that no atheist population can succeed ultimately nor any theist population if they have no consistency in their ideas or words or actions. This is why the Quran needs to be given the attention it deserves because without it people will have to go through a lot of painful suffering for a very long time till they learn what is told in the Quran by way of their own life experiences. It is a case of testing out the poison for oneself before accepting the cure for it. This way many will have to die before they find the cure of the disease. The funny thing is after going through all the troubles for such a long time generation after generation the people will still arrive at the very same conclusion that the Quran has told them already 1400 plus years ago. So we can then laugh at ourselves or cry and regret over our stubbornness and stupidity that we ignored things we were told already yet went after the very same things that we ignored. Christians are targeted in particular in these verses for having silly beliefs about Allah or the Godhead. How sensible it is for people to think that Allah needs a successor? Because he is never going to be absent ever to need a successor. It is rule of law of Allah that controls this universe and all things in it for his purpose alone and for ever. Therefore suggesting anything of this nature about God is nothing less than clear falsehood. If all things belong to God alone for ever then how can there be any successor of such a being and for what purpose? God is limited to Godhead just as man is limited to being a human being. If anyone suggests otherwise then one is being very silly indeed because there is no way God could be anything other than God and man could be anything other than man. By confusing God with man and man with God one is telling us, God is not limited by Godhead and man is not limited by being a human being. In that case the whole thing fails to make any sense at all. No wonder such manipulation in the scriptures are clear proof of they being manipulated by their followers for the reasons better known to themselves. 89] Such people from among you the mankind surely spread falsehood for causing most serious divisions among human beings, Word IDDAA is from root ALIF, DAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that does not measure up to a set standard. Also something that does not fit propriety or norm or requirement or specification, something abnormal or inappropriate or strange, something detestable or disliked or rejected, something improper or an abomination, something troubling or difficult to deal with, something unacceptable, something false or wrong, something loathsome, something that is a disaster or catastrophe, an affliction, something shameful or monstrous or momentous, to befall or take place or happen, bull or something like a bull in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, a very powerful cause of some trouble or difficulty or hardship, something that raises a lot of unfavourable noise or opposition, the noise the camel makes, to fall in despair, something regrettable or dangerous, to run away senselessly after getting a fright, something of huge importance or concern, something that happens repeatedly, something that cause huge trouble or difficulty or hardship etc etc. 90] due to which people in high places or in positions of power are going to be destroyed because the masses are going to be destroyed through divisions among themselves and therefore will come tumbling down the influential people among them, Word TAKAADU is from root KAAF, WOW and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is ready for something. Also something on the brink of doing something, to pile up, be ready to do something, be ready to take some action, be ready to burst forth, to be on the point of doing something, to be about to do something, to be almost there where one wishes to be, an action that has already happen or is about to happen if it has not already taken place, to be very near to doing something but stop right there or have just finished doing it, to have intention to do something or to have decided to do something, palm of hand or something like palm of a hand in some sense, to have something within grip or grasp or reach, to be soft or tender, to be compassionate or kind, cushion, to make soft or easy, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crooked or wicked, twisted or deceptive, something upon which something could be hanged, to fish out something in some sense for some reason, door or something like a door in some sense etc etc. Word YATAFATTARN is from root FAA, TWAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is cause of origin of something. Also natural, nature, to explode or expose, to burst or bring something out in the open, to originate something or bring into being, laws of nature, natural process or mechanism, to turn an idea into a concrete reality, the beginning or commencement, natural way of doing things or natural way of happening things, natural disposition, natural inclination towards something, predisposition, cause of an effect or action, fungi, instinct, to rend or crack open, to split, to fashion, to break the fast, to create, genesis of creation, the original unadulterated nature of things, flaw or defect, inadequacy, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. Word TANSHAQ is from root SHEEN, QAAF and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is split asunder. Also dispute, divide, explode into pieces, inflate, expand due to internal pressure, cut through, hardship, difficulty, burden, to rent, to act against, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition or rule of law or way of life, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, mischievous, clever, deceptive, agile, to turn a thought into action, to turn an idea into a concrete reality etc etc. Word TAKHIRRU is from root KHAA, RAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is rumbling. Other meanings are sound of blowing wind or falling water or falling stones, snoring, purring, to enjoy affluence or prosperity or abundance, to surprise, to fall, to crumble, to collapse, to die, fence or something like fence in some sense, shelter or protection, head or something like a head in some sense, chief, manager, top part or section of something, ruling elite of a community etc etc. Word HADDAA is from root HAA, DAAL and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is thud, devastating event, crashing or crumbling or thundering sound, to pull down, to demolish, to frighten, to threaten, window or something like a window in some sense, opportunity, way or mean to some end, a way through to something, door or something like a door in some sense, controlled entry and exist mechanism, security, power etc etc. 91] due to their invitation to the idea that the Master of the universe has a successor. God creating God is a nonsense idea because that which is created is not God, nor is any who needs a successor or helper. The idea that God too is a thing and things cannot be there unless created does not apply to God because God is not a similar thing to created things. In other words God is an exceptional being and belongs to an exceptional kind ie one of a unique kind. Created things came to being due to set-up systems and laws of God that brought them about but creator does not come under the same systems and laws of nature. The creator’s existence is a necessity but the existence of creation is not a necessity. The law of necessity cannot be disregarded no matter what just like law of supposition or possibility cannot be disregarded in an argument for proving or disproving a claim or an allegation. Humans cannot think beyond necessity, probability and possibility. This is why 100% certainty cannot be attained at all because things get out of human reach even rationally. 92] It is not fitting or consistent with nature of the Master of the universe that He should have or need a successor. 93] It is because there is not an existing being in the heavens and the earth but it is brought about through process of creation and sustained by set-up systems and laws of the Master of the universe to serve His purpose as a duty bound creature. The purpose of creation of mankind in this universe is that man should become self aware and aware of the universal realities so that he could then rise to awareness of divine will and so that he carries it out to its intended end faithfully. Such awareness is not possible for human beings without very hard work for observing and understanding things and making highly creative use of things provided by the creator and sustainer. It is because unless man becomes creator himself he cannot appreciate creativity of God. So true God consciousness is impossible without highly thinking mind and unless mankind rise to that level of thinking, man is not going to be able to live in peace or make progress or be prosperous, so people who create make beliefs and people who run after make beliefs and useless rituals prove yet more harmful and destructive. This is why if people really want peace then they must give unity of mankind the highest priority therefore they must give up all unreasonable ideas and courses of actions. 94] He surely created the mankind also but with ability to learn and express themselves clearly and He let them become numerous in numbers. Word AHSAA is from root HAA, SWAAD and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is mind and senses. Also arithmetic logic unit, something that helps observe and understand things, something that helps keep count of things as comprehensively as possible, something that helps learn and do things, human brain and senses, human observation and understanding of things through complex and sophisticated calculations, ability of computation or counting or making sense of things, things that help make sense of things and do things, creative abilities and skills, pebbles, to keep, to stick with, mind, discerning faculties, ability to express oneself clearly, to be able to communicate thoughts through physical actions in words and deeds, to keep a record of things, to record, to reckon or calculate or enumerate, to bear, to keep count of, to comprehend, have something in memory about something, to work out or figure out things, fence or something like a fence in some sense, something that ensures safety and security of something in some way, human brain, senses and body that is fit for survival, rule of law, constitution or law or tradition, plant or tree or something like a plant or tree in some sense, something that is firmly in its place yet able to move or grow, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power, grip, grasp, reach etc etc. Word ADDAA is from root AIN, DAAL and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is number. Also numerous or plenty, group or multitude, gear, to count, to reckon, to enumerate, an appointed time, plenty of, to be reckoned with, to get ready, readiness, to consider, to take for, to count among, to cause to increase in numbers, to compound, to prepare, the waiting period, a period of time set for some purpose, to demand fulfilment of an agreement or promise, to call to account, accountability, a fixed term or a stated period of time for some purpose, equipment or appliances or instruments needed for a purpose or used for doing something, preparation or provision, countable or limited, eye or something like an eye in some sense, water source, a new beginning, assistance or support, beam or pillar, door or something like a door in some sense, controlled entry or exit, ways and means to ends, way of life, road or path etc etc. In many verses in the Quran Allah tells us that human beings are a special creation of Allah in the sense that Allah has endowed mankind with most ability to learn and do things and face consequences. It is because man is created for a very different purpose than all other creatures as has been explained already. 95] However each of the groups of accepters and rejecters of His message is brought to face the results of its own thoughts and actions separately and individually according to His set-up systems and laws at an appointed time. 96] As for those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and take active part in removing rifts from between people and do things that help them develop and make progress to their full potential, the set-up systems and laws of the Master of the universe tie them together in love. Word WUDDAA is from root WOW, DAAL and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is strong emotional connection. Also concern and loyalty, love and affection, desire or longing, to desire or wish for, to be compatible or amicable or palatable or agreeable, to exchange cordialities, to be on very good terms with one another, to feel very happy with each other, very loving or all loving, a friendship full of love and affection, to long for or have most concern for or to feel most for someone, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crookedness or wickedness, twisted or deceptive, to fish out of something troubling, something reliable upon which something can be hanged for safety and security, door or something like a door in some sense, way to something, controlled entry and exist system etc etc. 97] It is because We have made this task of passing on Our message to each other easy for you the mankind by sending Our message in your own human language so that you could give good news of brilliant future to those who wish to be consistent with Our guidance and each other as a proper human community and forewarn about serious consequences thereby those who live by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby they end up in rivalries, animosities, hatred and wars with each other. Word LUDDAA is from root LAAM, DAAL and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is quarrelsome. Also most contentious, someone looking for fights and wars mostly, a person given to creating disputes and fights the most, to be fierce or stubborn or confused, to cause chaos through mischief, to look about in confusion, to be perplexed, to be grim, to defend, mortal enemy, to conspire for troubles and wars, most vicious, people at throat of each other most of the time, two opposing sides of the very same people, two opposite sides of a valley, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, something that inspires or motivates to do something, the motivational cause beyond some action, door or something like a door in some sense, people who open doors to disputes and problems and fights, controlled entry and exist system, things that lead to other things good or bad etc etc. 98] So they should pay attention to how many generations of people We left on their own to destroy themselves or disappear into oblivion before them because they chose to ignored Our guidance. Ask them, can you find any of them still around in a proper state of existence or hear even a historical account of them today? Word TUHISSU is from root HAA, SEEN and SEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is sense. Also any of the five senses or five senses and the ability of brain to work out something from the information received, some clue to something that helps detection of its presence, something sensible, a sign of movement or life or existence of something that is detectable with any of the human senses, a slight movement in some sense that is picked up by senses in some way eg by sense of sight due to movement or by sense of hearing due to noise created by the movement, to feel something in some way, something that can be felt or seen or heard or smelled or tasted, something found out or discovered, something that becomes obvious in some way, to become aware of something in some way, freezing cold that burns grass or plants, freezing cold wind, sound of gently flowing breeze, whispering sound, locust, herd of cattle or animals, famine, murder or kill, faint noise, hissing sound, concealed gentle sound, to feel or perceive through senses, to probe, to spy, to rout, to strike hard, movement, to remove dust or dusting, to eradicate or destroy, to become conscious or aware of, to gather intelligence about, to collect information discreetly about, churning sound, murmur, fence or something like a fence in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, way of life, rule of law, constitution, sanctuary etc etc. Word RIKZAA is from root RAA, KAAF and ZAA. Concrete meaning of this root is mysterious sound. Also low or weak indistinct sound, whisper, to stick, to fix a pole in the ground, mineral deposits, gum, fixing point, position, brain or brains, control, whimper, a sound coming as if from a distance but reaching the ears as an indistinct-able low noise, to bury something secretly, secret buried treasure, raw materials buried in the earth, something thing proven or solid, something sound or complete or perfect, something that stands its ground or stays as it is, something unmoved or not shifted by anything, to push the spear deep into the ground that stays in its place, a place where-in a spear is thrust, to thrust something into something in such a way that it stays there firmly in place, head or something like a head in some sense, top part or section of something, ruling elite of a human population, controller, palm of hand or something like a palm of a hand, soft, something in the grip or within reach of someone, tool or weapon or something like a tool or weapon in some sense, something instrumental in accomplishing or doing something, equipment, appliances, instruments etc etc. This verse tells mankind that accepting guidance of Allah properly as it ought to be accepted and acting upon it faithfully makes a people very much distinct from all those who do not accept the message of Allah at all or not accept it properly or do not act upon it faithfully as they ought to. People are set a standard of survival by Allah and if any people fail to meet that standard then they are gone in due course because they do not have what it takes to survive in any shape or form. Likewise no population can rise to its full potential unless it follows proper guidance of Allah faithfully. It is because paying attention to universal realities and guidance of Allah pays dividends and many folds. It is because humanity can only and only make progress by exploring the creation and the revelation. Trying to know one without knowing the others is not good enough to produce the results that are supposed to be produced by knowing them both as explained already in detail. This is why all people are held back one way or the other due to ignoring one aspect of life or the other. This is why human populations fall behind each other instead of moving forward together. Ignorance, illiteracy, lack of education and ability to think properly all play part in loss of human power which is needed for proper exploration and exploitation of provisions that are bestowed upon humanity by Allah. So people must help themselves and each other to become a very useful community of human beings that is very knowledgeable, skilful and efficient. Keeping ourselves ignorant and our future generations ignorant has its price in form of painful suffering over the period of time we will keep on living that way. |
Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 20 TWAA HAA- O mankind stop dividing, unite and work for peace, progress and prosperity of each other to be approved and accepted by Allah and each other as proper human beings.
This surah is named TWAA HAA which are taken as two separate letters of the Arabic alphabet set. As explained already in detail that even letters are meaningful words in all root based languages and in addition to that they also have numerical values as part of old way of writing numbers for purpose of counting or arithmetic. The reasons why such letters are used in the Quran are already explained by various people in their works on the Quran so people can refer to those works and no doubt there may be other reasons as well which yet need to be discovered. Regardless of what others think I will simply say that letter TWAA means landmark or something like a landmark in some sense and letter HAA means window or something like a window in some sense. This should explain that each of these letters have many different meanings. For help to see what sort of meanings a letter may have one can ask some questions like, what exactly is a landmark? What purposes does it serve for a person or a community? How does it serve those purposes? Such questions help find the answers and those answers can be taken as meanings of these letters. A monument for example can act as a guide in a place whereby people can find their way around it by taking it as a point of reference. Symbols and signs and markings can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. After all this writing itself is merely a collection of symbols which people take for some sort of meanings. Without concrete realities brains of people could never think or reason things out because only real things raise images in our brains and the way they are interconnected helps us reason things out. It is observation of natural world that helps us learn and do things otherwise we could not have any starting point to begin with. It is a situation like brain, light, eyes and things to see. If any of this combination was missing, all the rest will be useless. It is because only ways and means can lead to ends and where there are no ways or means then such ends cannot be achieved. In other words letters are our window to learning and doing things. Just like markings a window is also a very powerful thing because having a window into anything means having a way to something. It means by having a window into something one can know things about this something. So having a window through to something leads to understanding of it or its comprehension. It opens the way to make use of something in some way because we have a way through to it. This is why word window means ways and means to some ends. In Arabic letter TWAA has numerical value of 9 and letter HAA has numerical value of 5. By adding these two values we get 14 and that is the exact number of letters that are used in various combinations in the surahs of the Quran. Fourteen letters are used in fourteen combinations in 29 surahs of the Quran. That number adds to 57 which is exact multiple of 19 letters used in formula of BISMILLAH the first verse of the first surah of the Quran. All these letters are those which comes from languages that are direct ancestors of Arabic and its sister languages. The Quran has 114 surahs which is also exact multiple of 19. The formula bismillah is repeated in the Quran 114 times despite the fact that it is missing in one surah but used twice in another surah. This way of setting up of a scripture does not exist in any other scripture in the world ie no scripture has letters in the beginning of a chapter like the Quran has in its surahs. Is it a clue to the fact that all other scriptures are not original scriptures from God? The Quran is the only scripture that repeatedly claims to be from God himself, no other scripture in the world makes such claims. Is this not a clue to the fact that only the Quran is the word of God and all other scriptures are written by people who utilized or incorporated some stuff from the original scriptures that were sent by Allah to people long before the Quran? As explained already, this ummah has not produced many people since after the messenger of Allah who did some original research on the information in the Quran, particularly in latter several centuries so the Quranic message in the main remains undiscovered yet. People have become slaves of rulers, money lenders and mullahs so there arise only odd individuals who make some effort to find out what the Quran contains in its pages. Most of the ummah is put to deep sleep by falsehood invented by mullahs in the name of Allah and needs to be woken up so that it resumes its journey of discovery so that mankind could be made aware of proper message of Allah for them and so that people could learn the truth and follow it for their own blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community. The contents of this surah begin with reason for which the Quran is revealed and who revealed it and then story of struggle of Moses and his people begins in some detail where after people of this age are talked about and then story of Adam and his people is brought in to explain what happened with Adam and his people. So it is story of humanity and what it has been doing throughout times in general and what are its future prospects. However it is difficult to say why this surah is named with just two letters or initials TWAA and HAA. I do not think it is named TWAA HAA just because of its first verse. Other surahs are given headings for reasons of their contents and in my view same applies to this surah. These letters definitely have some concept attached to them to which content of this surah will lend support just like any other surah in the Quran. It is only a matter of coming up with some comprehensive word or phrase that represents the subject matter discussed in this surah. The letters in the first verse of this surah need to be treated separately because they seem to serve a different purpose than the surah title letters. It is unfortunate that Ummah is busy rubbing the Quran the wrong way round otherwise mankind could have known a lot from the Quran if people were more interested in exploring the Quran in light of real world realities rather than reading it for so called brownie points. In my view God is calling upon mankind for the last time in a comprehensive way in this surah of the Quran to get some sense and stop fighting and instead work for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of each other. If we read the verse 2 in this surah, the Quran makes it absolutely clear for mankind that the Quran is not sent to divide people but to unite them. Divisions brings disasters and cooperation brings prosperity, so there is no point in using ideas and actions for driving wedges between people or putting up barriers. In fact if we think a bit, this surah is telling mankind the Quran is not sent to be used as a tool to further religious or political or economic etc differences and throw humanity into fire of hatred and rage against each other and thereby into pit of destruction but that it is sent to remove all such causes for divisions and to lead mankind to unity, peace, progress and prosperity as a one single family. So people who try to use the Quran as a religious holy book need to be educated out of their nonsense which they attribute to God and his messenger. To me it seems as if letters TWAA HAA are addressing mankind by saying, O mankind stop dividing, unite and work for peace, progress and prosperity of each other to be accepted as proper human beings. The point to understand here is that God gave his message to mankind to discover it for themselves and when man has done that he will come to know what these letters stand for. They seem to be most difficult to know about in the whole of the Quran. Since people have a lot of difficulty making sense of words and verses of the Quran even today so knowing about letters will take yet more time. It is because once people have context of the Quran on their finger tips that is when there is a good chance that people will see what these letter were given for. They are for human understanding that is why they are given in the Quran. It is like someone tells you a story and does not tell you its name but after knowing the story one becomes aware of the name of the story because it is contained within the story in form information in it. Likewise when people have proper understanding of the rest of the message of the Quran they will then be able to find out what these letters are all about. It is a bit like looking for missing links in evolution theory. It is in a way, a test, of how far human beings have developed their intellectual abilities in knowing about universal realties and realities told about in the book of Allah. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind that, 1] Twaa Haa. 2] We have not sent to you the mankind this Quran so that you continue living by a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and thereby remain in a troublesome existence Word TASHQAA is from roots SHEEN, QAAF and WOW/YAA and it has been explained already. It has a wide range of meanings as all words have but in the context of these verses it means the difficulty people face due to the way of life they adopt for themselves that is based upon personal gains at the expense of each other which lead them to all sorts of conflicts with each other and all conflicts always lead to all kinds of difficulties. The bigger the conflict the bigger the pain and suffering it brings. Not knowing how to live properly is the biggest problem ever that humanity has always faced and it is still struggling to find out the hard way how to live properly because it has turned its back on guidance of its creator. Here the Quran is telling people that purpose of its revelation was to guide people provided they played their part in obtaining that guidance from it but they refused and so things carry on happening the way they always did due to ignorance and foolishness of humanity, which thinks of itself as very clever and wise. It is very stupid of people to thinking they cannot live as a proper human family when they are actually blood related if they retrace their ancestry. They came into this world through each other and they cannot live without help of each other yet they think they must carry on living as a divided people instead of learning how live together in a sensible way despite. The result is plenty of bloodshed between human beings for trying to dominate each other by undermining each other and then they complain about all this but do not change their way of life, does this make any sense in any way? All this shows people are much more stupid than they think. 3] rather We have revealed it as a guidance to Our advised way of life that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community for such as prepare themselves to be able to obtain guidance from it by paying proper attention to it. Word YAKHSHAA is from root KHAA, SHEEN and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to be mindful of something for some reason. Also to pay attention to something for some reason, to show concern or have concern about something, to have some sort of connection with something in some way, something that causes tension or worry or anxiety or fear, an unpleasant or disturbing feeling about something, to dread or dislike or fear, to know or have a hope for something, dates killed by frost, dry rotten herbage, to feel concerned about something, to stand in awe of, fence or something like fence in some sense, hesitation, locking out something, to feel secure in something, sanctuary or shelter for safety or security, constitution or rule of law, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, something firmly fixed in a place yet flexible like a tree, something strong and heavy yet able to move about, example or precedent, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power, grip, reach, jurisdiction etc etc. 4] It is sent by the One Who created this galaxy as well as all other galaxies that are far away. 5] The Master of the universe Whose sovereignty extends to whole kingdom of the universe. 6] To Whom belongs whatever is in all the galaxies including this galaxy and all that lies in between them as well as whatever is within them for ensuring well being of mankind. Word TAHT is from root TAA, HAA and TAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something under something else in some sense for some reason. Other meanings of this root are subordinate, underneath, below, within, under, under the jurisdiction of, beneath, assistance, support, womb or something like a womb in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense, lower layer of something etc etc. Word SARAA is from root SAA, RAA and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that leaves its trace on something it comes in contact with. Other meanings of this root are moisture, dampness, something covered by something, something influenced by something, wet earth, soil, prosperity, happiness or pleasantness, generosity, abundance, affluence, earth crust, below earth’s surface, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, rule of law, head or something like a head in some sense, ruling elite, top part or section of a population or something, controller, manager, administrator or administration, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crooked or wicked or twisted, something that helps to fish out something from something, smooth operator, hand or something like a hand in some sense, reach, power, jurisdiction, grip or grasp etc etc. As already explained verses like these in the Quran are very comprehensive in their message and cannot be translated at all rather their message can be translated after understanding ie the Quranic verses can be explained not translated by word for word translations. These like verses on one hand tell mankind about themselves and on the other about universal realities. The Quran in a way draws a parallel between organised universal realties ie how they are interconnected and work as one unit to fulfil their God set out purpose and human beings organising and regulating themselves on basis of the Quranic constitution and law for fulfilling the Quran program for a set goal. The very beginning verse is telling mankind the Quran is not revealed that you continue living the way you have been in great difficulty due to rivalries and animosities but to help you remove a lot of unnecessary hardships in life and not only that but to help you make life worth living. Words MAA TAHTASSARAA means all things of need of humanity that have been put in these mentioned things ie the contents or things or materials they are composed of for the benefit of mankind. Man will have to learn to discover and make use of them by way of exploration and research. This is why man is given a very powerful brain and senses and body form that suit this environment. In other words these verses are pointing out abilities of humanity or potentialities that are hidden in man that will become obvious in due course as mankind develop with time or evolve. 7] Therefore if you the mankind will express yourselves according to the guidance in the Quran then He will make obvious for you solutions of all the facing problems even of those most difficult to know. Word TAJHAR is from root JEEM, HAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to make something obvious in some sense. Also to expose or make obvious or evident or visible or understood, to express, to make an idea or plan a reality, say something aloud, declare, pronounce, remove barriers, open space, a piece of plain land that has no trees or plants, outer appearance of a person, to be open, appearance, to be pure, to be beautiful or reliable or lasting, camel or something like a camel in some sense, window or something like a window in some sense, ways or means to something, hole in a wall or something in some sense, an opportunity or chance, head or something like a head in some sense, top part or section of something, controller or command and control centre, leading end or leadership etc etc. Word SIRRA is from root SEEN, RAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is hidden but is ready to become obvious. Also happiness, secret, inside, base, simple, starting point, seat, bed, pleasure, delight, inner most part of an object, the very foundation upon which something stands, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition or rule of law, something firmly in place yet moving or growing in some way with time, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. Word AKHFAA is from root KHAA, FAA and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is hidden yet obvious in some way. Also hidden, obvious, digging up, excavation, discover, grave robbing, secondary feathers in birds, to be unperceived, to disappear, to hide, to appear, fence or something like a fence in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, power or capacity or capability, grasp or jurisdiction or reach, devour, to participate or take part or partake, to say something, to experience something or go through an experiment etc etc. This verse is talking about locked potential in humanity that can affect the real world in a grand way if unlocked ie God has created man with huge potential for being creative, so no reason for man to act desperate and stupid or to act harmfully and destructively. The idea is that if man acted as told by his creator and sustainer then he will achieve or accomplish maximum possible and in a very short period of time. On the other hand if he will carry on as he has been then people are going to beat the hell out of each other and the development and progress will still happen but in very minute steps in comparison to being made sensible through teaching and learning instead of finding out things for oneself. This has been explained already so no need to go into detail again. It is like taking two human babies and setting them same goal but then putting one through schooling and leaving the other alone to find out things for himself. One will obviously reach his goal long before the other. 8] Such is Allah other than whom none has the right to rule this universe. To Him belongs the right to set beautiful goals for mankind to accomplish according His provided beautiful guidelines that can deliver blissful, dignified and secure existence for people as a proper human community in a kingdom based upon His guidance. This verse is telling mankind God is great because he has expressed himself in form of creation and revelation so once man really starts on a road to discovery he will come to know this in due course. There is a saying attributed to the messenger of Allah that he who is self aware is aware of his creator and sustainer. MAN ARAFA NAFSAHU FAQAD ARAFA RABBAHU. So long as mankind live as a low life, there is little chance of mankind doing anything really great but once man rises in self awareness and becomes aware of universal realities that is bound to lead him to becoming aware of his creator and sustainer. It shows divine attributes are not mere names they have a reality in connection with the universe and the mankind. God wants man to represent God in the universe therefore man is not created to act in harmful and destructive ways. Just as doing great by man draws praises for God so doing harmful things makes God a target for criticism even though he is neither flattered nor made angry but it in actual fact reflects bad on man himself. After all when man does harm to his fellow man who gets damaged? The human family itself, not God. This is why man must learn to think before doing things so that he saves himself from all this stupidity. Instinctive behaviour is modifiable because when something happens the information goes straight to the brain and the brain can be trained to think before responding instead of responding in form of a reflexive behaviour. Thinking modifies behaviour as appropriate or better suited to a situation. Deen of Islam is fundamentally all about formation of a proper human community that is fully established in a kingdom because unless people have land and resources under their control they cannot make life better even for themselves as individuals let alone the life of the whole human population. A kingdom free of rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters. It is supposed to be a kingdom where ruler is Allah alone who rules through his guidance and all people live by his rule of law through self regulation as agreed by the community. The administrations and institutions in that kingdom are only there for serving people not ruling them as already explained in detail. 9] Such as are reflected in story of people of Moses so has the story of Moses reached you the people of the Quran? This verse tells about kindness of God for mankind ie what he did for mankind throughout times and places by means of his guidance and provisions. He created mankind and provided them with all they needed including his guidance. This story tells how Moses became self aware and aware of what was going on in the world around him within his reach. He saw world in a terrible state of affairs because hatred was everywhere and people were at each other’s throats. Instead of jumping headlong into this situation to be part of it, he remained fully composed himself and calmed his people down instead of encouraging them to be part of fights among themselves and rebellion against the rule or kingdom of Pharaoh. He then realised he needs more than what he already has to depend upon. That is when God called on him and showed him the way to do things. So anyone who thinks he can use the Quran without first properly understanding it to solve any problems is living in fools world. There could not be any need of divine revelation if people could unite without such interventions by God. People are busy memorising the Quran which is a great thing but they also need to know what the message of the Quran is or is all about because the Quran is given to mankind for a set purpose. So the Quran needs to be used for the purpose it is given for. People should not fear political, economic and religious leadership when it comes to making proper sense of the Quranic text otherwise this fear will keep on destroying them for generations as it did for so many generations in the past. Bully boys need to be put in place in every community on the face of the earth otherwise peace between human beings is not possible and if peace is not there then making progress for mankind is very, very difficult even if it is not impossible. This is why prosperity is not possible for the human community as a whole unless they have a formula for it that can work. The Quran is that formulas but can only lead the way if people could first clearly see the way the Quran is talking about and then if they are convinced they can follow it faithfully and the results will be delivered accordingly. This is why stories in the Quran about past people are very important to learn from. They tell us what role was played in the world by various participants and what was the outcome eg leaderships and masses, powerful people and weak people, rich people and poor people, sensible people and lazy and crazy people, prophets of God and God himself etc etc. All this has been shaping our world the way we have it today. If we will keep on doing the same the same will remain the outcome. If we want a different world then we will have to make changes in the world for better or for worse so that it is led the way we want it to go. 10] When he saw the fire of hatred spreading due to divisions among people, he said to his people, remain calm, let me try and understand the reasons behind this fire of hatred so that I could bring to you the proper understanding of the situation or find some way or guidance to deal with this situation or fire of hatred. Word NAARAA is from root NOON, WOW and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is energy that is released as light or heat or both. Also fire or heat or light or brightness, motivational force or something that brings something to life in some way, something that ignites or kindles or triggers or inspires or activates something in some sense, electromagnetic radiation that is visible as light or felt as heat, lamp, lantern, illumination, a source of fire, state of enlightenment, heat and light accompanied by flame, burning intensity of feeling or ardour or enthusiasm, passion, luminosity or brilliance, a severe test or trial or torment, liveliness of vivacity of imagination, fever or bodily inflammation, discharge of firearms, intense repeated attack or criticism, to cause to burn, to arouse emotions, to become ignited or flame up, to shed light, to lighten up or illuminate or brighten up or blossom, to clarify or explain, to become clear, guidance or to guide, landmark, blossoms, to bring forth flowers, hellfire, fish or something like a fish in some sense, smooth or slippery or energetic or lively, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crooked or twisted or deceptive, something reliable or something that can take on responsibility, something upon which something can be hanged, to fish something out of something in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, top part or section of something, leaders of a community or ruling elite of a populations, management or administration etc etc. Word IMKUSOO is from root MEEM, KAAF and SAA.

Other meanings are to remain, to stay, to self restrain, to be calm, to wait for the outcome, to bide one’s time, water or something like water in some sense, something life giving or inspiring or motivating, something that stands still, something that moves or travels, something that satisfies some need or thirst, palm of hand or something like a palm of a hand in some sense, cushion, soft or tender or kind or compassionate, something that has concerned for something, womb or something like a womb in some sense, a place to stay or a state of existence, a prevailing situation etc etc. Word AANASTU is from roots ALIF, NOON and SEEN; NOON SEEN and ALIF; NOON, SEEN and WOW and NOON SEEN and YAA . Already explained see surah 4 AL-NISAA. Word QABAS is from root QAAF, BAA and SEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is to seek information about something to understand it. Also to seek knowledge or light, to adopt, good countenance, fire or flame or firebrand or live coal, to acquire knowledge or light, to seek fire of live fire, to light a candle from another candle or fire, to learn knowledge from a learned or knowledgeable person, a light kindling switch, something that helps lit fire or gain knowledge or learning, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, clever, mischievous, deceptive, agile, something that copies something or someone who copies someone, to imitate or mimic, tent or house or something like a tent or a house in some sense, something that provides safety and security in some sense, tradition or rule of law or way of life, sanctuary or refuge or shelter, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, something firmly fixed in some place yet flexible, something strong or important or heavy weight wise, something effective or something that bites or has teeth etc etc. Fire is not only fire that burns woods but also fire of hatred as well as rage in minds of people. Likewise light is not only light that we see during the day from the sun but also light of knowledge or prosperity or bright future or happiness etc. Arabic has many roots that have opposing meanings as well therefore the understanding of a text in Arabic depends heavily on its context, not only within a verse but also the subject matter and within the surah and between surahs. The Quran is a book about formation of a proper human community out of existing human populations all over the world, so it is always talking about what people do to each other and why and what are the consequences they face as a result. Ast people had the same problem as the people of today ie the clever and powerful tried to use and abuse the ignorant and weak. People divided into groups and fought each other for their own reasons as explained already in detail. So here the Quran is telling what happened in time of Moses and his people ie how they used and abused each other and ended up divided and hatred took over and people were about to tear each other apart. Moses calmed the situation and looked for some way of putting some sense into minds of people but he found none till Allah guided him to the way of life that could help him solve the problems of his people. 11] that is how when he reached the degree of enlightenment, he heard a call from Us saying, O Moses! 12] I am your Creator and Sustainer indeed so your search for source of knowledge has succeeded therefore get ready for a very difficult task ahead because you are on a proper footing or foundation to carry out this mission. Word IKHLA is from root KHAA, LAAM and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is ready to take off for its set purpose. Other meanings are to carry off or away, to be mad, to draw off or draw out, to be foolish, to disown, to break pledge, to remove, to release, to be alone, to be isolated, to leave, to rise into the air or begin flight, to get ready for journey, tattered garment, fence or something like a fence in some sense, limitation, shelter or refuge or sanctuary, something that protects something in some way, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, something that motivates or inspires or moves or causes something to act in some way, eye or something like an eye in some sense, water well, spring season or new start, flowering or blossoms, assistance or support, pillar or beam or pole, to guard or keep an eye on something, to take care of something etc etc. Word NAAL is from root NOON, AIN and LAAM.

Concrete meaning of this root is to travel a long distance in some sense depending on purpose of journey. Other meanings are holy or holiness or completeness or perfectness or faultlessness, freedom from something that limits something in some way, blessed or prosperous or happy, blameless or faultless or clear or clean of impurities, sacred or something beyond questioning, to venerate, to be pure, to clean up, to travel or move away from or have nothing to do with anything that causes problems or difficulties or hardships or disasters or catastrophes, to sanctify or extol or hallow, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, clever or agile or mischievous, imitation or mimicry, door or something like a door in some sense, controlled entry or exit, way to somewhere or way or mean to some end, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition or rule of law, example or precedent, some sort of standard or tool for measuring things against to meet a certain set specification etc etc. Word TUWAN is from root TWAA, WOW and YAA.

From these verses it is very clear that God directly communicates his message to his messengers. It is also made clear what word SALAAH means in its proper context. It does not mean sit on a mat and pray and then keep repeating name of Allah and all will be ok but that get up and go and do the works that will produce the needed result. Children of Israel are in trouble and they are looking for a way out of these difficulties so they are told what to do about it. They are told build community spirit in people and once they unite and work together for the set goal all will be ok. In other words this is an education based revolutionary work to bring needed changes in human population so that problems caused by division could be overcome ie it is a matter of repairing the fractures in the community relationship or removing the rifts from between people to bring them together as a proper human community that ensures well being of all its members with help of blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program. The Quran explains all necessary things in all necessary detail, so it is up to people to learn how to make sense of the text of the Quran to unlock the information it contains. By merely reading the Arabic text of the Quran for no purpose in mind one cannot really benefit from the Quran as one should or as one ought to. The Quran is a book of mission and unless people read the Quran for knowing the mission and do things for fulfilling it there is little people can get out of the Quran. 15] The moment for uprising always approaches because that is how I have planned it to become a reality when people in position of power oppose My guidance so that each people get the outcome they worked towards. Word UKHFEE not only means to hide but also to make obvious as already explained. Word AL-SAA-AH means the moment at which something ought to happen. This moment is time of upheaval, uprising, revolt, revolution or resurrection of a nation or its destruction etc etc. When troubles begin and affect community spirit in minds of people then some people start realising what is going on and some start movements to get out of this situation and these movements are called ASSAA-AH in general ie revolutions. However most of them are merely replacements of powerful ruling parties taking turns rather than leading humanity out of troubles hence they are bloody revolutions. Some also start movements based upon community spirit as explained to them in revelations of Allah which they spread and that information educates people about the movement and helps bring about a beneficial change based on education of people. Most of this part is just talking and listening till a people have the needed momentum and a force to make the difference and rise up to make it a reality. This is why prophetic revolutions involved little bloodshed because they were not for personal gains of individual but for re-establishing the gone community spirit. When the force is gained then opposition can see that this force cannot be defeated so it either accepts its way of life for the whole community or lets these people who support the movement get away in order to save itself from that change which does not last very long because as soon as people working for peace and prosperity of humanity leave the people left behind soon are at each other’s throats. It is because only scum of the earth are left behind who are worse than animals and soon they show it themselves by inflicting harms and destructions upon each other as before. For one people who do not change for the better ASSAA-AH is moment of destruction by way of infighting and civil wars therefore it brings them consequences of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions but for others it brings a new start and gives them a new opportunity to install Godly ruling system and start living by that as a family and so whatever the family earns through very hard work based on family spirit, it gains full satisfaction from that. In the Quranic context wage is not the concept at all because wage is set by the powerful for the worker and in the Quran power only rests with God. God puts no limits on human hard work and what they share between themselves ensuring development and prosperity of each other as a community. It is stupidity of mullahs who talk against interest based economy yet talk about private profit based businesses as Islamic. Islam is not about capitalist society that offers a little bit charity from the profit for the poor. Islam does not allow poverty that is why there is no concept of charity in Islam. It is due to personal gains at the expense of each other private businesses are not allowed in Islam because Islam is a community based way of living. Community has needs and it needs to work for fulfilling its needs as a community. You cannot be a community while having conflicting interests. In deen of Islam there is no room for rulers, money lenders and mullahs or the like as explained already in detail. So people should learn what kind of human society the Quran defines and promotes. It defines and promotes ummah concept or family or brotherhood concept wherein there no room for divisions based upon negative discriminations or prejudices. 16] Therefore let not any people who do not truly commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity and instead follow their own harmful and destructive ambitions and desires join your movement because such a people will put obstacles in the way of your movement and thereby your movement will end up destroyed. This verse should leave one in no doubt that the Quran clearly wants masses and their leadership to stay clear of political, economic and religious manipulators if they wish to succeed on their Quran based revolution. One must realise that kings used to take things of masses by force. Mullahs were divided into two groups a)the shariah manipulators ie those who ruled people through their made up shariah laws called personal laws because state laws were under control of kings or rulers and b)spiritual manipulators ie sainthood promoters, a people called spiritual guides who encouraged personality cults and grave worshiping and worshipping of all places and things which they think have religious value. These people put so much nonsense in minds of simple people that people become trapped in their minds and think that if these holy men were not obeyed then God will curse them so they will be damned in this world and the world to come. In order to please these manipulators people give away their hard earned cash as well as their daughters. One can therefore see why these people never used whatever they were given to build places of education and hospitals etc because these things would have taken them out of their business. Hospital could have cured people of diseases so who will go to these so called saints for getting fixed about his diseases? Schools would have educated people to learn how to put two and two together so that would have exposed the manipulating tricks and mechanisms of these people. This is why no matter what people must try their utmost to get education because that is the only thing that will help them see things in its true light. If anyone wants to do any good for anyone educate him/her/them. This is the only way to fight stupidity and thereby stop use and abuse of some people by others. This is why the Quran is a miraculous book. God revealed information to educate mankind because he knew that only education can help humanity discover its true potential. All people in power have educated themselves for their purposes that is why they can manipulate others who are ignorant so if all were educated then it will be difficult for anyone to exploit anyone else abusively that easily. That could bring people on equal footing and force them to think about living in some other way than through abusive exploitation. 17] So tell Me, what do you think of this as your proper foundation to work from, O Moses? Words BIYAMEENIKA mean having something in your possession rightfully or appropriately. Having something under your control properly or under your legal guardianship. To have something in your legal care or management or to have something at your disposal for proper use etc etc. As the context of the text is clear that God is talking to Moses about his task, goal, program or mission for him so he is giving him all the information he needs for it and then asking him what he makes of all this or what he thinks about it. It is important that Moses is satisfied that what he is given by Allah will solve his problems if his people took it upon themselves to learn and use it as they should. As explained already revelation of Allah is very powerful foundation but only if mankind work hard to make sense of it. The Quran is there for people to make use of but are they bothered with proper understanding of its message to be able to benefit from it? Had Muslims educated themselves properly they could not be in the state that they are, could they? Messengers of Allah only succeeded in their missions because they had sense and before they stood up to teach other learned things themselves till they were fully satisfied things could work and that is when they started convincing others and succeeded. People who are not convinced themselves about something cannot convince others about it either. Here Allah too is asking Moses about his opinion about what he is given to work with. 18] Moses replied, this is my foundation where upon I will base myself and I will use it to provide food for thought and action for those I need to help and look after and I see many other proper uses for it.

Word SEERAH in this verse is very important and it is from roots SEEN, RAA and WOW, SEEN, RAA and YAA; SEEN, WOW and RAA and SEEN, YAA and RAA etc which has been explained already. It means mindset, attitude and behaviour or conduct or manner or the way one conducts oneself. SEERAH books about prophet explain things about his life that is why they are called SEERATUNNABI. This verse is talking about change in the people concerned. These verses leave out details about movement ie first Moses was prepared himself for the mission then he was told to prepare his people and then he took the message to Pharaoh and his supporters. How he was prepared is discussed in detail elsewhere and how he prepared his supporters is also discussed in detail elsewhere and then what happened with Pharaoh and his people is also discussed here and there in detail. So it is important to read other surahs as well to get the complete picture of this whole movement from start to its completion. 22] So bring together all your people under your care by bringing them out of darkness of ignorance into light of knowledge freeing them from internal divisions for the next stage of your mission as a proper human community.

This verse shows how Allah proves truth true ie he tells people to put his program into practice and see it deliver what is promised in actual reality. There are only two ways to prove things a)explanation on the paper as a plan of action and acting on the plan to turn it into a reality. If plan makes sense then it is highly likely it will work in practice as well. 24] So that you people then as a proper human community approach Pharaoh and his people to help them be sensible because he has transgressed all bounds of human decency. Word FIROWN is from roots FAA, RAA and AIN and FAA, RAA, AIN and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is tallest part of something. Also top section of a community, leadership or ruling elite, great house or great household, high house, royal palace, most powerful household, court of law, top of the mountain or hill top, a person of tallest standing in a society, most influential or powerful person in a population of people, a man of great standing in a community, something that is long in some sense, something very long or long lasting or with long reach, someone who has great influence or who has jurisdiction over a vast piece of land or control over a large number of people. branch of a tree as compare to its root due to being at a higher level than root, incarnation of sun god, a title for kings of Egypt, to be tall, to grow high, to climb, branch or branches, detail as opposed to foundation or fundamental or basic, Pharaoh, to act tyrannically, to oppress, sagacity, intelligence, cunning, crocodile, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense etc etc. After Moses prepared his people as a proper human community with help of guidance from Allah it was time for him to see Pharaoh and his people because they also treated each other in a bad way and the minorities under them suffered worse. It is always the case that when a people fight among themselves any other people living among them whom they take for foreigners end up bearing the brunt the most because they are an easy target for them to loot and enslave. For God all people matter equally because he created them and provided them with everything but some do not let others have access to that provision. However, it was not easy for Moses to face Pharaoh because he was from Israelites who were not treated as human beings by Pharaoh and his people. 25] Moses said, O my Creator and Sustainer, open my mind to the proper understanding of the situation by way of Your guidance 26] thereby make my task easy 27] by removing any hesitation in my expression of Your message 28] so that people could understand clearly what I say 29] and grant me courage through support of my people 30] as well as through my brother Aaron 31] grant me strength 32] and make him a partner in my task, 33] so that we could strive hard enough 34] to spread Your rule of law widely. 35] You are indeed the One Who has always taken care of us. When Moses is told to approach Pharaoh after getting Israelites on his side, he expresses some concerns before God that he thinks should be addressed because that will help him do the job properly. 36] Allah said, your concerns have been addressed already, O Moses. These verses show God is God and man is man so even though guidance is provided by God but man takes time to understand it. The Quran contains all one needs to know but people have no idea that it does till they look for what they need in it the way they should. After Allah told Moses all he needed to know yet Moses expressed his concerns and Allah told him that he has already addressed his concerns and all he needs is give himself time to absorb what he has been given to start the movement. It also shows that a messenger of Allah already knows revealed message in full detail before standing up to tell it to others. This is why each person needs to satisfy oneself about things before one supports or opposes them. 37] Moreover We already bestowed a favour upon you earlier The verses above this are mainly related to mission of Allah that was sent to Pharaoh and his chiefs but here Allah is telling us that before he sent a mission to Pharaoh he already sent a mission to leadership of children of Israel to get them on same footing as a united people so that once they are ready then mission could be directed towards Pharaoh and his people as well. This point is of vital importance that is why it is mentioned here because otherwise it will seem as if Allah first sent mission to Pharaoh without sending the mission to children of Israel to consult them as to what was their opinion about freedom from slavery of Pharaoh. It makes sense that Moses could not ask of Pharaoh for freedom of children of Israel had he not already consulted elders of children of Israel themselves and they agreed. This mission for consultation with children of Israel is called MANANNAA=favour from us by Allah in the verse but actually it is revelation of Allah which he sent to Moses earlier for this purpose. 38] when We inspired you concerning your community leadership saying, Children of Israel were in terrible state of existence under rule of Pharaoh and leadership of children of Israel became used to living that way and stopped thinking about changing their state of existence. When Moses came and was chosen as a messenger by Allah he was told to bring leadership of children of Israel back to life as if from dead. When a people are forced by their enemies to live in a terrible state of existence after a while they stop reacting or agitating or protesting against that state of existence. The same happened to children of Israel till Moses came along and gave them the call for waking up and fighting for their freedom from slavery of Pharaoh and his way of life. 39] get it out of terrible state of existence it is stuck in by putting it through a strict learning process so that that knowledge puts it on solid footing so that then the leadership with the community support could confront people opponent of My guidance and opponent of its mission. That is how I turned you people into a loving and loveable community by so arranging things that you may carry out My mission in light of My guidance. Word IQZIF is from root QAAF, ZAAL and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to hurl something far away. Also to say something farfetched about someone, to cast off or throw something far away, to accuse someone falsely or slander someone, to lay down something in some sense, to throw abuse at someone, to put or place something into something, to knockout something by throwing something at it, to confront or resist or attack, to bring something out of a state or a place or a situation in some sense, the mutual tension between rivals, to keep something away from something for some reason, legal punishment for false accusation or slander, to shoot, to be fast, to be clever or agile, to run quickly, side, protrusion, to fling or pelt, to make someone get away fast from somewhere, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, mischievous, mimicry or imitation, door or something like a door in some sense, to enter or exist, way or mean to some end, path, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, devour or consume, partake or participate, to feed on something in some sense, to think over something etc etc. Word TAABOOT is from roots TAA, ALIF and BAA; TAA, BAA and TAA; TAA, BAA and HAA; TAA, WOW and BAA; TAA WOW and TAA; and SAA, WOW and BAA. This root has been explained already but it also means mortuary, a place where dead bodied are kept for burial or cremation, something like mortuary in some sense, morgue, something that has something to do with death or burial or cremation, something structured or strict or rigid, something dead or in an inactive state of existence, something stuck in a state of existence that is harmful or destructive etc etc. Word YAMMI is from root YAA, MEEM and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is sea. Also plentiful or abundance of something, something that is wide spreads or vast in quantity or amount, river, goal or destination, to go for something, to work towards something in some sense, to decide to do something, to intend to do something, sea of problems or difficulties or troubles or hardships, a vast population of ignorant or poor or backward or held back people, the darkness deep under the surface of the sea, widespread poverty or ignorance, hand or something like a hand in some sense, grip or grasp or reach or understanding or comprehension, power or authority or control, water or something like water in some sense, energy or force, something that brings something to life, something inspiring or motivational, rain, revelation, something that moves or causes something to move in some sense, vast amount of information or knowledge, sea or ocean of information or knowledge etc etc. Word SAAHIL is from root SEEN, HAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to scratch something. Also to scrape off or peel, to strip off, to slice off, to strike, to dig into something in some sense, to erode something, to cause something to become worn, the cutting off of river water into the riverbanks, the erosion of surface of the ground caused by strongly blowing winds, the riverbank, the side or shore of a great river or sea, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition or custom or precedent, example, rule of law or constitution, something that acts as a solid ground or foundation for something for some purpose, fence or something like a fence in some sense, something that provides protection in some sense, something that sets limits in some sense, shelter or refuge, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, something that provides with motivation or inspires, something that forces something into action, drive, energy etc etc. These verses shows how messengers of Allah work to try and bring change in mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of the people they are sent to in order to try and turn them into a proper human community. All this does not happen overnight but takes years and very hard work that is well planned and properly acted out. It is because educating people is not easy nor quick. 40] Call to your mind when sister community of your leadership said to you, should I tell you about each and every person who can take care of this community? That was the reason We brought you back to your mother community to comfort its eyes and so that it does not live continuously in suffering yet more. That is why when you fought an official of Pharaoh, We let you get away from their reaction and that was the reason We put you through various trials. You stayed a number of years with the people of Midian and that is how O Moses, you developed to reach Our required standard for Our messengership. 41] That is how I brought you into shape fit for serving My mission. Day and night people debate over politics, economics and religions yet bother not to think things through thoroughly to see why the world is the way it is and how it could be turned round. They are looking for solutions in the ways of life that actually destroy the world more and more. Where is sense in introducing more and more negative competition? It only increases rivalries and animosities among people. However it suits the power game powerful people always love to play till they themselves become target practice but then that is always too late. If you live by sword then you are going to die by the sword. The Quran does not support the idea that Pharaoh killed Israelite newborn male children. Mullahs borrowed a lot of stuff from made up stories of others and tried to bend the Quran in that direction but if we followed the stories, they will prove to be made up. Had this many babies been killed by Pharaoh, people will have been up in arms so Pharaoh could not be that stupid to take this risk decades into future. This is why mullahs should think before they attribute their nonsense to God or his scriptures or his Prophets. Instead the Quran explains how Pharaohs gradually pushed out Israelites from positions of power and then set them up against each other to keep them in their confined place and space both physically and mentally. He used Israelites to push them down so that they never rise up again. The very same is practiced to date by powerful people and countries. As soon as any people or countries try to rise they are brought down through conspiracies and even direct actions through false accusation and baseless evidences. This is why world has not developed or progressed as it ought to. Progress and development need freedom and information to make sense of things in a way that works for the betterment of mankind as a single community. 42] So now you and your brother both should go with My goals and guidelines but you should not be hesitant in reminding him sensibly about My right of rule over all things. 43] You both should go to Pharaoh because he is living against My set limits 44] but speak to him gently so that he has the opportunity to reflect and think over consequences of his actions. 45] They said, our Creator and Sustainer, we are concerned that he may neglect our message or try to influence us. 46] Allah said, worry not My support is with both of you to help you remain observant and to help you understand all you need to know. When certain wording is used in the Quran about God, it needs to be taken in its context. In this verse Allah is telling his messengers that they must stick to his revelation no matter what the response of Pharaoh is and they will have all the answers they will need for responding to his reaction. 47] So go to him and say, we both are messengers from your Creator and Sustainer so let the ideological children of Israel go along with us and oppress them not. We have brought to you the message from your Creator and Sustainer that blissful, dignified and secure life awaits those who will follow His guidance faithfully. This letting go along with us is about letting them freely adopt their way of life or to let them live as they wish according to divine guidance. These verses are not about Israelites leaving Egypt with Moses. The idea is to convince Pharaoh to adopt the way of life advised by Allah so that all people could live in peace and harmony as a proper human community as they used to but failing that let those who wish to be free, be free. So the main problem here is the way of life adopted by Pharaoh and his chiefs and imposed upon by them on their own people as well as other people. Therefore so long as that problem remained not only Israelites but all people ought to continue suffering who were being used and abused mercilessly. 48] Indeed it has been revealed to us that the upheaval will take over those who will deny rights of provision to each other and that way will turn away from His guidance. 49] When Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh and delivered this message, he said, who is this Creator and Sustainer of both of you, O Moses? 50] Moses replied, our Creator and Sustainer is He Who has given a distinct form in reality to each and every created thing and programmed and guided it properly respectively to do what it was supposed to do. 51] Pharaoh asked, what do you say about the way of life of our forefathers? Whenever divine message is delivered to a people, those who are in positions of power among them become worried because it tells them to be part of human brotherhood instead of being enemies of their own people. This is why it is very important for them to divert the attention of people to try to take advantage of them. If we look at history of ancient Egypt, rulers have been ruling Egypt that way for generations and nothing went seriously wrong there to draw their attention to. This supported view point of Pharaoh that nothing will go wrong in the future either if people continuously lived by that way of life. Rulers and mullahs always used emotions of their people to make fool of them to keep them under their control. Therefore Pharaoh brings that point in to try to stop Moses from getting through to masses for his way of life. This very clearly shows what the debate was about between Moses and mullahs of Pharaoh. It was about two ways of life. One way of life was there that Pharaoh and his people lived by and made others do the same and other way of life was that which Moses came with. The message of Moses was, let us from now on live as a brotherhood that is all. Failing that Pharaoh must let people of Moses go and live as they wish to live. It is very important to keep in mind that no messenger was ever sent by Allah to be a religious leader because religion is a false concept invented by imperialists themselves to derail the actual message of God. We can see mullahs of all religions are busy debating religious differences without reaching any end result because you cannot prove right and wrong based on make beliefs and blind faith. Proof as explained already is all about logical and consistent thinking based on universal realities that give one basis for self awareness, without which one cannot become aware of universal realities. The Quran is a book of DEEN not MAZHAB. DEEN is a way of life for living in the real world not a dogmatic system of beliefs or religion that has nothing to do with issues of real world. The Quran being book of DEEN proves existence of God through universal realities and that is why such stress and emphasis is placed on proper observation and understanding of real things. Once that makes sense the way the Quran explains it all, then one has no choice but to accept the claim of the Quran that it is from God. In these verses the main stress is on word RABB ie creator, sustainer and provider of all that creation needs for its existence and development. Pharaoh never claimed he is a God or rival of Allah rather he himself worshipped other gods. His claim was of being a king and therefore a rabb in sense of feeding people under his jurisdiction. He committed SHIRK by claiming to be a ruler other than God. So the debate as far as Moses is concerned is about who has the right to rule and why? Allah or Pharaoh? Pharaoh is trying to bring debate into religious zone instead of DEEN. Pharaoh knows he cannot win against Moses on his chosen ground and Moses is there to expose falsehood of religion and absolute imperialism by telling people about importance of DEEN of Allah. 52] Moses replied, the knowledge of what happened to people in the past rests with my Creator and Sustainer which he has stated in His revealed scripture. He never makes any mistake nor forgets anything. Here Moses is telling Pharaoh that if you are really interested in knowing about what really happened to past generations then study the revealed scripture. The question is what does scripture contain about past generations of people? It tells us those who lived by way of life advised by Allah developed, progressed and prospered as proper human communities but those who tried to live by way of life based on personal gains at the expense of each other ended up in troubles till they gave up that way of life or ended up destroying themselves. The happened to rulers in Egypt in the past ie Joseph saved Egypt from destroying itself as told in the Quran itself. So it is not that way of life Pharaoh adopted was trouble free in the past. 53] My creator and sustainer is He whose set-up systems and laws are such as brought about the earth as a cradle for you the people, traced the roads on it for you to walk on and sends down water from the heaven for your sustenance. Surely with water from the heaven We produce pairs of various kinds of growths 54] of which you eat as well as pasture your cattle. Surely there in are lessons for those who use their brains and senses to observe and understand. Word IROW is from root RAA, AIN and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is responsible for something in taking care of it. Other meanings of this root are Sheppard, to guard, to manage, to heed advice, to graze, to look after, to take care, to take as a subject, to be a subject, head or something like a head in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. Word AL-NUHAA is from root NOON, HAA and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is ultimate limit ie a set point beyond which something cannot go or cannot be allowed to go. Other meanings of this root are goal, forbidden, the limit of human intellect, the circle or boundary or boarder line, termination, end, power of reason, discerning power, to abstain, to inform, to restrain, to relate to, to tie down, to set limit, to observe set limit, fish or something like a fish in some sense, window or something like a window in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense etc etc. In these verses Moses explains to Pharaoh very clearly the processes, the mechanisms, the systems and laws involved in nature to help him see how reasoning based on observation leads to true concept of self, other things and God. No superstitious religious nonsense at all. The Quran tells us that even long before the revelation of the Quran humanity was already aware of scientific approach to things but it were rulers who worked against mankind that kept masses away from education for their abusive exploitation which continues even today. If people want better world they must come out of their ignorance and must fight those who want to keep them ignorant and stupid. People who want to help world to be a better place must educate each other people so that they could come together on basis of a worthy program for some worthy common goals and guidelines. That is how masses can bring about a revolution based on education. So long as some people let other people with harmful and destructive ambitions and desires in form of politicians, bankers and mullahs decide future of humanity things are going to stay as they or will get worse so time for people to break away with this mentality of letting things stay as they are. The vast majority of world is living below poverty line and it will not be allowed to change unless masses wake up and fight for change for the better and education for all has to be the very first step. 55] Likewise with rain of Our revelations We bring you the human communities to life and let you perish when you ignore them and bring you back to life again due to it as a new people. Word TAARAH is from roots TAA, WOW and RAA; TAA, YAA and RAA as well as WOW, RAA and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a complete idea or process or system or structure or mechanism or thing.

Only when human beings become proper human beings that they are approved and accepted by Allah and each other. This is what brings about a proper human community that is worth the name. 56] That is how We put forth Our whole program with goals and guidelines before Pharaoh yet he denied his people the right to Our provisions because he sought dominance over others instead of brotherhood among people. 57] So instead of accepting Our program with goals and guidelines he said, have you come to change our way of life with your impressive political plan, O Moses? 58] But we will match your impressive social, political and economic plan so let us agree on a time for meeting between you and us for an open debate which neither we nor you shall fail to keep in a place where both have equal access. 59] Moses replied, let it be the day of festival and let there assemble people who think themselves as brilliantly clever. 60] So Pharaoh withdrew, concerted his plot and came forth with his supporters. Word FIROWN is from root FAA, RAA, AIN and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is a person who claims to be absolute ruler in a land. Also title of a king of Egypt, tyrant, oppressor, intelligent, cunning, crocodile, farsighted, wise, palace, great or grand house or household, royal palace, royal household, high house, honourable house or court of law, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, gap, head or something like a head in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense, divide, partition, distinction, discrimination etc etc. 61] Moses warned them, destruction will be upon you so dare not in forging lies against Allah lest He lets you remain stuck in this terrible state of existence to end up destroyed through stagnation and regression as such inventors of lies are left stuck in their frustration disappointed and desperate as per set-up systems and laws of Allah. 62] Regardless they went ahead and discussed secretly among themselves as to how to handle the matter 63] saying, these two are certainly expert planners who intend to drive you out of your way of life with their plan and to do away with your cherished traditions and customs. 64] Therefore bring together all your skills and face the brothers with a united front because whichever party comes out victorious today its way of life will prove worthy of following. 65]They said, O Moses! Will you be the first to argue your case or shall we? 66] Moses replied, no you can go ahead and argue your case first. So when they delivered their arguments in various ways in order to support their traditions and customs their ideas appealed to the gathering the way they expressed them whereby they appeared moved. Word HABAL is from root HAA, BAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is ways and means used for reaching a goal. Other meanings are technique, rope, link, connection, contact, covenant, pledge, snare, trap, trick, thread, a way of inquiry, wiles, stratagem, to conceive a child, become pregnant, carry a responsibility, liability, fence or something like a fence in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense etc etc. 67] Due to that Moses became concerned for the masses within himself. It is always the human community that causes concern for people who become self aware and aware of what is going on around them in the world they live in if it is harmful and destructive. Political, economic and religious leadership is always ready for playing its tricks on masses to make fool of them and use them. Enemies of human community or antisocial element in the human community are people with harmful and destructive ambitions and desires and they cannot be kept from fulfilling them hence confrontation becomes inevitable when they go beyond a tipping point. The story of Moses in the Quran teaches a great deal to humanity if people educate themselves to the degree of self awareness and awareness of universal realities and in that light of knowledge study the Quran. The Quran very much exposes ignorance of people who attribute nonsense to the Quran in the name of God. 68] We said, worry not, you will surely come out on the top. 69] So deliver Our message which is in your possession it will overcome whatever they have invented and put forth before the masses. What they have produced is nothing more than their trickery of expression because invented ideas and tricks of their delivery cannot lead to unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. This verse exposes today’s political, economic and religious elite in a major way. It invites attention to outcome of their all tricks with masses. It tells people open your eyes and look around, are you better off or worse off because of what these people said and did? If you have not made progress and have not prospered then these people are talking nonsense so don’t listen to them and instead educate yourselves and do better than them. Show that you are not less than least of the animals. Be a man you ought to be and take humanity forward not backwards. If people have no secure foundation to work from then they can never have ideological unity therefore peace and that is why they can never make progress and that means no prosperity for human community. 70] So after Moses delivered his arguments and evidences the experts in politics, economics and religious tricks were humbled before the very eyes of the same crowd and they said, we commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity according to guidance of Creator and Sustainer of Moses and Aaron. 71] Seeing this Pharaoh said, how dare you commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity according to guidance of Creator and sustainer Moses and Aaron before seeking my permission about it? This man must be your master who taught you the skills you demonstrated. Well, I will surely cut off your hands and feet on either of the sides and crucify you on trunks of palm-trees then you will realise which of us can inflict most terrible and most lasting punishment. The expression I will cut off your hands and feet means withdrawal of any kind of support that helps one survive and to crucify simply means to put through tough measures that make one’s life unbearable or something to regret about. This verse actually shows ignorance and stupidity of Pharaoh and his chiefs that they failed to understand what Moses said at the beginning. He said God leaves people to themselves after advising them. It is up to people themselves to follow his advice and prosper or ignore it and end up in a terrible state of existence. Nowhere Allah or any of his messengers attributed anything like the things Pharaoh and his chiefs attribute to God ie that their way of life is also approved by Allah and that it is God who has appointed them as kings and priests etc. It shows what kind of God Pharaoh and his people had in their minds. Mullahs have similar concept of God in their heads that is why each and everything that goes wrong for humanity they blame it on God. How stupid when the Quran begins with Allah being good to mankind or is he not merciful and beneficent? The Quran is full of verses that tell us God always did things to get humanity out of its self created troubles like a mother takes care of her baby. Each time she leaves the baby to play he finds something to tangle himself into and then cries for help but a grown up man starts blaming God for his self created problems and does not look into how God guides him to get out of any problems he may have created for himself. Instead he wants magical solutions where he does not have anything at all to do himself other than utter some magic words. What a tragedy remaining ignorant is. Pharaoh also showed his stupidity by threatening these people with his punishment measures. On one hand it could create a loser’s impression in minds of his people because such an act by him showed to them he lost the argument and moreover it was recipe for tension and uprising within his kingdom. It is because these experts came from their communities and no doubt were their leaders. Also Children of Israel were by now well prepared to take on Pharaoh if need arose for that. That is how kingdom of Pharaoh became destroyed through internal strife after a while when things reached the tipping point because he did not use his head and senses properly to judge the situation that was coming about as a result waking up of masses. So his idea that his ancestors did not suffer such fate due to living the way they did so he too will do ok the way he lives did not work for him. A great lesson for people that no way of life is as good as the one advised by Allah and sooner or later this fact will prove itself for all people in the world so they will have to give way to change for the best. 72] The experts replied, your words have no affect on us because clear lessons have been brought to us which put us on the proper track so you can decree whatever you want to decree about us but the truth is it is the way you rule that has brought us this sort of terrible way of life that we have. 73] As for us, we have committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity according to program of our Creator and Sustainer so that thereby He gives us a secure life and helps us overcome our mistakes and whatever damage we may have caused to each other through our baseless beliefs and actions you forced upon us through falsehood. The way of life advised by Allah is full of benefits for mankind and is therefore lasting. This verse shows how learned people look at things who are self aware and aware of universal realities and are explained the way of God in that light. If mullahs were sensible, they would have followed this way of explaining the Quran instead of promoting anti Quran stuff in the name of God and his messenger. It is time we started reading the Quran and the Hadees in their proper main context, individual contexts and sub contexts. Random verses and ahaadis reading is not the proper way to read the Quran and the Hadees. The Quran gives us an over all model of deen of Islam. First we need to learn to explain that model and then use rest of information to fill in the detail. That is the way to understand the Quran and the Hadees properly. So first we must learn how to make sense of things through observations and explanations of real world realities. This is what makes us sensible if at all. If we do not first learn sense this way then we cannot understand anything at all no matter what. Most of us Muslims have never even thought about it this is why we do not know what actual deen of Islam is. BY going through this learning process we should come to realise what we can learn from observing the real world realities and what we cannot therefore we need to turn to guidance from Allah. So we should learn by going through this process what is a human society and why we need it to begin with. What have politics to do with human society and why we need them for human society and what are economics about and why people need them for success of human society. We will learn importance of organisation and regulation and many, many more things. It is because mullahs are ignorant or stupid or both that they mislead us by telling us to try to make sense of the Quran and the Hadees directly merely by reading the texts. The question is, can anyone do that? No, it is impossible. It is because our first source of knowledge is information that we get through our brains and senses by way of direct life experiences. Those who deny this very basic fact lose their validity to talk about anything else because they talk illogical due to breakage in the reasoning linkage which causes inconsistency in their train of logical thought process. This is why all models of Islam by mullahs fall flat on their faces right at the very start. This is why instead of following nonsense of mullahs in the name of Islam, we who think islam is true must find a way to come up with a model of deen of Islam that stands to reason by being consistent through and through but on the solid foundations that can be proven sensible when tested for their logical consistency. The main lack in mullah models of deen of Islam is the need of all detail to come from the scripture directly. It is because mullahs think that we should read the commandments directly from the scripture and execute them as if we have a clearly laid down list of instructions. This is not the case when we read the scripture so mullahs come up with excuses after excuses and thereby they try their best to confuse us. This is where they get their shariah from and this is why all mullah models of deen of Islam fail badly at a second step. This is why we must learn to be logical and consistent to begin with before we even touch the scripture for trying to make sense of things from the scripture. If we have no logical consistency then we fall in trap after trap due to randomness and that is why rulers, money lenders and mullahs take full advantage of this situation and make fools of us in the very name of deen of Allah in all sorts of ways for all sorts of reasons. I have therefore explained the model of deen of Islam as I understood it in detail after a lot of study of things and it will be a great idea for people to go through it with critical eye and improve upon it where there is any need for further explanation using real world realities as basis and the scripture. Ensuring the consistency between the realities of the real world and the scriptures is maintained at all times because failing that will render any model of deen of Islam put forth by anyone inconsistent. This is why people instead wasting their time on trying to justify mullah models of deen of Islam should spend time in trying to see which workable model of deen of Islam they can come up with in light of real world realities and divine scripture. In my work on model of deen of Islam I have heavily relied on works of scholars of past generations and in future my work can also be used as basis for furthering the same basic idea if we really want to succeed as a proper human community. Otherwise people can carry on arguing baselessly as they have been due to their ignorance of very basic facts which I have pointed out in detail in my work on the Quran. Each and every person should note that I have no problem in proving nonsense of mullahs as nonsense but it is not right use of my time because I am trying to work on the model of deen of Islam that I have understood from the scripture in light of real world realities with help of works of past scholars that are worth the name. To me deen of Islam is a proper way of life that is advised by Allah so that mankind by following this way of life could bring about a world wherein they could live blissfully, with dignity and security as a proper human community and for which Allah promises people to reward them in hereafter with a lot more. Religious dogmas have no place in deen of Islam as far as I can see that is why to interpret the scripture forcefully to fit religious nonsense into deen of Islam is a huge disservice to oneself and humanity. Those who do that or support it are criminals in sight of Allah not scholars of deen of Allah. This is why their nonsense should be challenged and exposed to the core so that people could see how they have been turning the Muslim ummah into ignorant fools that we see all around us. My hope is people study what I have explained in detail as deen of Islam instead of trying to argue with me over things they know nothing about because they never bothered to study things in as much detail as I have in this respect. The very fact that mullahs always relied on stories about miracles to make fools of people speaks volumes about the level of their thinking capacity. The very fact that they never studied the language as regard its origin and development and how it works also speaks volumes about them being learned scholars of deen of Islam. All things explained are of much more importance than merely memorising a particular language or scripture because just having some words randomly in memory do not mean one understands things one is talking about using certain words. One needs much more to make proper sense of life and a divine scripture. A person who has committed the Quran to his memory and knows the Arabic language still cannot understand the Quran if he is unaware of himself and real world realities because to understand anything one needs to be aware of at least that much to be able to connect concepts to actual things otherwise knowing words disconnected with their realities mean nothing at all as explained already in detail. 74] Surely any nation that approaches the message of its Creator and Sustainer in a criminal way it will end up in hell of its own making, wherein it will neither die nor live. 75] While any nation that approaches His message properly will commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity and will act to remove rifts from among people and obstacles in the way of growth and prosperity of humanity as a proper human community. Such will be the people for whom are guaranteed heights of blissful, dignified and secure existence These verses show what Moses has been telling people in the crowd which convinced these people about the truth of the divine message. That is why they decided to join him in supporting the mission given by Allah. Mullaism must not be taken as deen of Islam because it is not and no way any of the mullahs or their slaves can prove their nonsense as deen of Islam. It is time for ummah to educate itself out of ignorance and stupidity. It is time to become literate, educated, trained, skilled and thinking as explained already because future only and only belongs to highly knowledgeable, highly thinking and very hard working people. If there is no logical consistency in an explanation it can never be true. Make beliefs and useless rituals or works are opposite of actual deen of Islam and by adopting such stupidity the ummah has lost its rightful place in the world. To regain its lost rightful place in the world this is the only way or as time goes on ummah will keep on facing tougher and tougher situations that will ruin it yet more. Let us take first thing first. In the explanations already provided I am offering an alternative fact based explanation to what mullahs have been feeding us over the centuries ie many made up stories about the verses of the Quran as to what they mean. To validate or legitimise their nonsense they attributed their stories to the prophet of Allah because otherwise they had to answer how did they come to know what they tell us and that needed a lot of hard work in form of research and exploration for explanation which mullahs are not bothered with. With this set up they managed to fool the ignorant and the simple minded but this sort of approach does not wash with people who are better informed. Why not? Because it is only truth that can be proven true not falsehood. Even if one attributed anything to God or his messenger or his scripture it had to stand to reason and consistency test to prove valid. It is because words attributed to God still need to be explained and understood how did they get their meanings which people say they have. These meanings still need to be rooted in reality otherwise they mean nothing at all. In other words, words need to be connected to the real world realities for their proper understanding because people cannot understand them otherwise and this is why the Quran uses reality based explanation after explanation as examples to help humanity understand things. It is because otherwise it is like someone is talking to them in a language they never knew. This is how falsehood can be caught through testing. This is why it is possible for humanity to say what can or cannot be from God with reasonable certainty. In order to help one understand my approach let me ask one, what is origin of your knowledge? How did you come to know things that you claim to know? You will see that one has no choice but to agree that our knowledge comes from our brains and senses therefore it is based upon our life experiences. This is why our knowledge is factual. Now this being the case, can we therefore claim that any other knowledge can be as factual as that about the past or future or anything we did not experience directly? No. This is why be it the Vedas, the Avesta, the Bible, the Quran or the Hadith etc etc are only some collected information passed down to us generation after generation. We cannot be certain about their truth unless we devise some way to test things and they prove reliable or true. So any information through any third party is dependent upon a reasonably reliable testing method for its reliability value or validity. This is why we cannot use any hadith report for anything till we are reasonably sure it is true and historical sources are yet more problematic unless we have archaeological evidences to back them up ie in some cases we do need corroboratory evidences. Our personal interpretations of facts are always much more powerful than any other source of information if they are logically consistent and sound. This is why when we explain facts and they make sense then they prove to us sufficiently reliable. It is because the world in which we are born works according to set laws of nature as I have explained it in the main explanations already. This is why anything that contradicts known facts cannot be true at all even if it is attributed to God because God is not expected to tell us nonsense. Since proving originality of the Quranic text is of utmost importance therefore explanations that prove the text of Quran original cannot be contradicted by mere make beliefs handed down to us by our ancestors be they in the name of Allah or his messenger etc. Now if we look at the copies of the Quran that are still existing from different times and places and they are many in numbers and they can be carbon dated, we can see how people wrote the Quranic text in them. In these copies of the Quran there are no such variations as we are told in the Hadith books. Should we accept what is before our own eyes or should we accept hadith reports that go against that? Instead of justifying the kind of variations we find in the copies of the Quran on basis of scribal errors in hand written copies or printing errors in printed copies or book binding errors where that is applicable etc etc, it is claimed Allah revealed the Quran with textual variations. Can one believe that Allah who wanted to unite humanity will give people a recipe for discord and divisions? Because variant text are foundation for divisions and that is why the Quran tells us that if it was from other than Allah we ought to find many things in there at variance with each other or differences or discrepancies therein. This is why such hadith reports are misinterpreted or false because they or their interpretations were invented to provide justifications for variations in the Quranic text in the existing copies of the Quran. This means these people were not aware of the facts how languages developed over time and this is why there are variations in all major languages because they heavily relied on each other for their origin, development and progress as explained already in detail. My explanation explains away all these variations in a way that is backed by archaeological findings and it is fully consistent logically. Allah did reveal the Quran in one uniform reading and in one uniform writing but people spoke and wrote a language as I explained it and they did that because that is the way languages came about and developed. One has to realise that Allah despite variations in the human languages managed to reveal his message that was uniform both in sense of memorised information and in form of written text. Hadith reports at most are mere historical accounts which were written by individuals for their own reasons so if they telly with facts they are ok but if not then just because they are based on isnaad (chains of narrators) does not make them sound in every way on their own, particularly if they contradict facts before us. Justifying variations in the Quranic text is in fact attacking the authenticity of the Quran at its very root. The Quranic text is as solid as a rock and that is why I proved it by showing how Arabic language came about and developed over time with help of its ancestor and sister languages. One cannot find any evidence of Arabic language being in use before Hebrew but if anyone has any evidence please let us see it. In fact Hebrew as far as I know is ancestor of Arabic not its descendent. If anything Hebrew is thousands of years older than Arabic. Mullahs tell us prophet Adam used to speak Arabic in paradise and that he was the very first human being. It is because no mullah has carried out any research and exploration to discover things the Quran talks about otherwise we Muslims will not be in the state of ignorance and stupidity that we are but we are not going to accept it, are we? It is because if we accept we lack in factual knowledge because we never carried out any research and exploration work to discover things for ourselves then who is going to carry out needed research and exploration work that validates the Quranic information because it is all haraam according to mullahs since all knowledge is already in the Quran and the Hadith regardless we need to know it or not. It is enough to say we believe and we don't need to verify anything to have faith based on reasoning that is logically consistent. As far as I know Arabic is a most recent of the root based widely known languages otherwise the copies of the Quran we have today will have been written in a better way right from the day one. No dots on the letters in the ancient copies of the Quran is proof of Arabic language not being developed fully yet for mass communication and publication. This is why we needed hufaaz of the Quran as well as its scribes so that with help of each other they could preserve the actual Quranic text as it was supposed to be and they did and we can see it with our own eyes even today. Relationship between hifz and scribing eased as better way of writing was discovered in due course so later copies had in them what earlier copies did not ie dots and diacritical marks. Even today if an Arab did not already have the Quran committed to his memory he will not be able to read it if dots were not there in the text. In fact one cannot read even the daily newspaper written in such a style of writing let alone the Quran despite the fact that it is their mother language. The same will happen in case of Urdu and Farsi languages. So can we see why we have no choice but to accept Arabic was not an old language just because some ignorant mullahs say so having nothing solid to back it up with. Why is it that we find a lot of inscriptions in Hebrew and various other languages but not any in Arabic if Arabic was indeed the oldest language as our mullahs tell us? It means our historical accounts have been either invented in some cases or that they have been deliberately misinterpreted and misrepresented by mullahs to suit themselves or both. So if we want to be true to our deen of Islam we must give up nonsense of mullahs or as time goes on we will end up proving our own worst enemies. This is why we must come to know that to rely on information that does not fit proper explanation is not the right way to look at things. Also if people differ about something they can never become united again unless there is something there to unite them. This is why if Muslims were already divided after the messenger of Allah passed away then no one could unite them merely by force. If they remained united it is only because they agreed upon program, goals and guidelines provided by the Quran. However if we say that the Quranic text itself became a source of controversy then divisions based upon different Qurans could only increase not decrease with time. Today Muslims are fighting with each other only over interpretations of the Quranic text, imagine what could have happened if anyone deliberately tried to change the actual text of the Quran in any way. Because things did not go bad in the ummah on basis of deliberate changes in the text of the Quran as will be expected back then due to some people trying to make deliberate changes in the Quranic text, it is proof enough that no one even tried to eliminate any existing controversy over the variations in the actual text of the Quran. So can one see why knowing the truth about the originality of the Quranic text is of such high importance. This solid explanation shows that some hadith reports have been mistaken, invented or misinterpreted and misrepresented to undermine the originality of the Quran and its authenticity therefore such accounts are unreliable in themselves so they cannot be used against the originality of the Quran to undermine it. Coming to idea of miracles in this context, can one see what miracle is more important than Allah dropping the copies of the Quran from heavens in hands of each and every person in perfect state? If we have such problems with the Quran itself as people assume then what other miracle can be justified as more important? None. If any miracle was ever needed at all, it was people having all the things they needed to preserve the divine revelations perfectly as they were revealed from day one. When the Quran tells us Allah taught man reading and writing, it doe not mean Allah became a human being and made prophet Adam sit in his lap like a child and taught him things like a child. It only means Allah provided human beings with things of need and abilities to learn by observing what Allah had created already before human beings came on the scene. So people had all they needed for learning and teaching and doing whatever they were supposed to do to fulfil the purpose of Allah for which he created them. All this involved natural processes or cause and effect chains and no miracles or supernatural interventions by Allah. There is no point in going on other issues till one fully accepts the Quran is original with full understanding as to what makes it original. It takes time to absorb information to reach the depth of understanding needed for proving the Quran original. This is why I explain things and leave people to ponder over it because information takes time to be absorbed by people at their own pace. Suddenly confronting each other with information to win the argument for time being is not the proper way to learning and becoming wise with help of each other. Wisdom takes time to make its way into minds of people and to make its presence felt but only if a person wants to become a wise person and makes the needed effort. Just because mullahs tell us the Quran says Allah guides and Allah misguides does not mean they are telling us the truth because they may not even know what it means themselves. Allah guides through his revelations and mankind guide themselves by enabling themselves to be able to receive guidance from the revelations of Allah by educating themselves to the level required for that purpose. All this does not happen instantly. It is also very important that people realise the fact that Arabic is based on multi root based words as I have already explained it with solid reasons in detail. I also explained in detail why words have very many meanings in root based languages including Arabic. So if any report does not fit this explanation, it is not worth paying attention to and maybe it was a mistake or invention to make an attempt at trying to make the text of the Quran look controversial. In any case no such report can succeed against stated concrete facts. The idea that the messenger of Allah was illiterate is also monstrous because it shows Allah chose for his work someone not worthy of it and that Allah did not choose other more able people for his mission at the time. Again as I already explained, mullahs wanted to prove miracles by portraying the prophet as an illiterate person because they had no idea at all that the Quran is not a human work due to the information it contains. Instead of understanding the text of the Quran they looked for cheap miracles ie here is a book from an illiterate man. They had no sense to realise that even an illiterate man could have been given a written book by someone else who was literate so how could having a book regardless in memory or in writing prove its God's word? It is because any information that comes from human beings cannot go beyond the knowledge of human beings. It is because the Quran goes beyond human knowledge that is why it is not work of human beings. One has to read the verse which mullahs tell us means, if Allah had revealed the Quran on a mountain it will have shattered into pieces out of fear. Allah already spoke to all things when he planned them and said, be, and nothing shattered but the universe came into being. The actual thing the verse is telling us is very different ie should Allah reveal the truth in the Quran to any highly knowledgeable person who wishes to know it, he will be humbled due to what it contains because the knowledge in the Quran is beyond that which a human being could come up with. This is very difficult to prove for mullahs so mullahs thought let us turn to made up stories of miracles to prove the deen of Islam true. This is how they moved ummah away from proper deen of Islam and its practice and people who were leaders of the human world gradually turned like animals lagging far far behind rest of the human world. It is therefore time to retrace our steps back to the original deen of Islam which was brought by all the messengers of Allah right from the time of prophet Adam till the time of prophet Muhammad. There is no more book or messenger from Allah after him and this is the concrete proof. It is because there is no any prototype new language in the world that could parallel ancient languages in which olden scriptures were revealed just like the Quran. The Quran even today is far, far ahead of its time if we learned to read it as it should be read for its proper understanding to fulfil its purpose. Root based languages were good for revelations of Allah due to their flexibility as I explained already in detail because fixed languages could not accommodate divine messages due to their precision. It is a fact that root based languages are very flexible not non-root based languages. Since the Quran was for much longer time than any other revealed scripture therefore it needed most flexible language that it could get at the time. Some Arabic roots have thousands of meanings not just one or two. Likewise there are thousands of words that could be used to express the very same idea. This is why as humanity develops and discovers more and more facts people will be able to interpret the Quranic verses more and more precisely. So the discussion about the originality of the text of the Quran has much, much more for us to learn from than we can think of. AlI these explanations should effectively address concerns of people about the issue of originality of the text of the Quran as well as finality of the prophethood of the final messenger of Allah. Deen of Islam is based upon educating each other to help each other understand the message of God and to turn it into a reality. However violence is present in our world so one has to learn how the Quran explains it to put it into its proper context. I have explained things in detail in my work on the Quran for this like reasons so that people could see how things fit together. All issues which we think only need a short answer in a word or two does not work because each person who explains things sees them in his own context. I am mainly discussing origin of knowledge and how we get it. For example, could we learn anything without having brains? Could our brains learn anything without having senses? Could our senses be useful if the conditions needed for them to work were not present? For example for a human eye to work we need light as well to see and we also need things which the eye could see otherwise what will be the point of having a brain, an eye and light etc if there was nothing there for eye to see? The same will be case for all other things we sense with our senses. For things to be useful there has to be a grand plan in the mind of the creator so that all comes together nicely. This is why I am explaining human beings could not learn anything at all if they did not have life experiences to help them learn and keep building upon their banks of information and their understanding. For example, what will be the point of giving a new born baby a book to read when he does not even have the awareness of his own very existence yet? So first thing we need is self awareness and for that we do not need revelation of God but only our brains, senses, bodies and provisions so that by fooling about with things in our own environments we become aware of ourselves as well as other things through our interaction with them. Only after becoming self aware and aware of other things our attention is drawn to higher being when we think about origin of things, their existence and purpose as well as the way they work to fulfil that purpose. This is when we look for information that we cannot get through our senses alone or merely by calculations of our own brains. Once we realise there is more to life than meets the eyes, we start looking for information that could satisfy our curiosities. From here on people take various routes ie some look for God by so called spiritual methods to see if they could experience presence of God that way and others look for messages from God. Those who do not become self aware or aware of real world realities do not bother with idea of God because they have not reached the stage of thinking which initiates this kind of search process in minds of people. So if you are not looking for God then you are not going to find him. It is because you only find what you look for and for which you use the right methods. Most people therefore remain at animal level of thinking or even worse ie they are born ignorant and remain ignorant, illiterate, uneducated, untrained, unskilled and unthinking therefore useless for themselves as well as others or even worse they cause troubles for themselves as well as others. What this explanation should make people realise is the fact that so long as people remain at animal level of their existence, their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours are such that they are only fit for animal kind of life. This is why as human beings evolved from tree of life first they were only humans in their physical appearance but not in shape of mind. This is why they lived on basis of survival of the fittest. However interaction between people made them learn from each other as well as other existing things by observing them and so people have been gradually building on that knowledge and have been changing their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours accordingly. Since people behaved like animals or worst so obviously they inflicted each other with terrible harms and destructions. All this helped them learn and be better and when they reached self awareness and awareness about other things God sent them revelations in order to guide them from then onwards when they could make use of that knowledge. Since then knowledgeable people have been trying to get others to see sense and stop living like animals. However, people are people so they are still at it but time will come when human beings will be what God created them to be ie great creatures manifesting glory of their creator. All this unfolding of plan of God is going to take time just like a huge tree that grows out of a tiny seed gradually. Here one may ask but why God did not create people fully knowing things already? To understand the answer one has to learn why God created things and human beings in the first place. It is because God is a living being and he wanted to express himself so he decided to express himself in forms of creations and revelations. Since God wanted to be appreciated by effort of things themselves so he created human beings with abilities to learn and do things as they pleased and created all else to facilitated mankind in doing that. Since people had to know about God by their own efforts rather than being programmed robots so being born totally ignorant they had to learn each and everything from scratch. To help people God created all other kinds of non-living things and animals and programmed them to a much greater degree than human beings and gave human beings ability to observe other things and by doing that people have been learning and doing things ever since. As people learned more and more they appreciated God more and more so they continue. This is why science is very foundational part of the Quranic text and this is how it is part of the Quranic philosophy because the Quran tells people to observe nature and things in it to learn from that and then do things that need to be done as detailed in the Quran so that goals set by God for people could become accomplished. All this should help one understand the origin of violence ie God created things for various purposes and when they act as they choose to act violence could result because that is the way world is created by God to function so that the purpose of God for creating the world could become fulfilled. It is not God who is carrying out violence but things he created act that way however he provided them with means to be able to do so if they so chose. So even though God does not want people to hurt each other but some people who remain ignorant about revelation of God think otherwise and disregard his guidance. As such people decide to continue living like animals because they do not know any better and they do not want to know any better therefore those people who have become learned also are forced to control antisocial elements in human society. If such people do nothing at all then things will be yet worse than they are. This is the context in which the Quran explains existence of violence in the world. All this needs detailed explanation and understanding therefore people should go through my interpretation of the Quran with patience so that they could see how to make sense of the Quranic text. God has created man in his own image ie a little god if you like. Glory of God will become manifest in due course as humanity prepares itself for establishing many great things yet unthinkable. We may think we know quite a lot but our knowledge is much less than our generations to come who are going to stand upon our shoulders and reach the skies yet unknown to mankind. Human being are created to travel throughout the universe to see creation of their creator and see how wonderful creator he is. One day man will grow up mentally so much that he will witness glory of his creator with his own eyes through his own effort and creativity. The Quran is such a book that is yet unknown for what it actually contains in its pages. It is because the people who claim to be its followers are not yet learned enough to be able to explain it. The day they become a learned people in actual reality things will be very different. The Quran is like no other scripture in the world as I understand it. This is why people will find a lot of help in my interpretation of the Quran if they went through it. Particularly the way people should try to make sense of the Quranic text. The Quran and the Hadees texts are misinterpreted and misrepresented by mullahs on behest of rulers and money lenders to stop masses from thinking and taking appropriate actions for ensuring well being of mankind and to stop such element in human society as use and abuse it instead of ensuring its well being. 76] in forms of kingdoms full of useful raw materials, in which flow things of need like rivers to live therein for as long as they maintain their this state of existence. Such is the outcome for course of actions of those who try to free their human community from all ills. 77] That is why We sent Our revelation to Moses saying, set on a journey along with supporters of My mission in order to put them on a path that can lead them out of sea of crisis so that you people have no fear of being over whelmed by sea of crisis or matters of concern. Word BAHR as explained already not only means actual sea full of water but also sea of crisis or troubles and difficulties or entangling problems. Generous person or a highly knowledgeable person is also called BAHR of knowledge. The idea is to show a great amount of something for some reason eg a big gathering of people is also called a sea of people. Here the Quran is guiding people as to how they should prepare themselves to get out of problems or to prevent problems from occurring. For example before a child is born, sensible parents and societies plan ahead and get things ready so that when child is born all that should be there is there for him already. This easies burden on parents and society if they are aware of things and do them well in time. Nature takes its course and nothing can stop it but people by knowing how nature works in any particular case then can save themselves from a lot of trouble that will take p[lace if people were unaware of things and they were suddenly taken over by a natural occurrence. This cannot happen unless people come together as a proper human community and set-up educational and training institutions and make people go through them so that they know things they are supposed to be aware of well in advance. This saves a good human society from lots of regrets later. These verses explain what happened after the debates were won by Moses. It is because Moses fully exposed the whole set-up of Pharaoh and his chiefs and priests etc so people started rising up against Pharaoh and his set-up and things went from crisis to crisis till Pharaoh and his supporters were gotten rid of by their opponents who were looking for revenge. However well before these crisis began to bite Moses is told to save his people from these troubles so he saved them by staying away from troubled people and places. The problem with great leaders is that they not only think of themselves but their opponents as well. Moses is overwhelmed with worry about people he is leaving behind as well as the goal he is set to accomplish. So he is calmed through revelation that this is how nations are destroyed by themselves when they do not bother with finding out where exactly they are heading. Self correction is necessary and that needs monitoring and feedback but the system has to be based on solid foundation to begin with. You cannot raise or stop a wall from falling down for long if its foundation is not solid or properly levelled that leaves it uneven or unbalanced to begin with. Pharaoh was not following Moses and his people in order to destroy them rather he made his people follow him according to his adopted way of life just like people of Moses followed him according to his way of life however Pharaoh was already warned against his adopted way of life that it lead to harm and destruction and that is why he and his people became overwhelmed by their own self created problems. He changed his mind very late in time so his people who became his enemies by then did not give him chance once they took steps to get rid of his rule. Moses had to cross the sea in order to move away from troubled places (and not in fear of Pharaoh) in order to save his people. Once things had settled he came back with his people. How Moses crossed the sea is told elsewhere in detail. It was not done through magic of staff of Moses but through what Moses knew about sea and how it works ie it rises and falls due to tidal waves etc. Moses left Egypt by his own planning that is why Israelites took with them their own belongings including ornaments of gold etc. Any people who are forced to run away leave all things behind because their main concern is to save themselves rather than carry along burden that could lead to their certain death due robberies etc. The story of Moses told in the Quran is very different from the Bible just like story of Joseph. However, mullahs are good at copying Israelite stuff according to which they try to bend the Quranic text. The Quran is not copy of the Bible because the Bible is not the original word of God called Toraat, Zaboor and Injeel. It is certainly based on those books with some mistakes but the Quran is original word of God. The Bible and other scriptures could be compared to the Hadith works by Muslims not the Quran. People who take the Bible as the collection of original divine scriptures with alterations are very wrong and so are wrong those who dismiss other scriptures beside the Quran. The actual Quranic message yet needs to be discovered because it has been misinterpreted to make it look like confirming the stories of the Bible just to re-enforce the idea that Islam too is a religion, which it is not. The Quran is confirmation of what was in the original divine scriptures and because some of that is also found in the existing scriptures so it confirms the truth in the Quran. In other words today the Quran serves as the criterion for sifting the information in the other scriptures. All that which can be interpreted according to the Quran can be accepted true and all that cannot be justified in light of the Quran can be rejected regardless of which scripture it comes from. It is because other scriptures contain contradictory information within themselves where they differ with the Quran. 78] However Pharaoh and his supporters also followed them according to their own way of life so they were completely overwhelmed by their self created sea of crisis which they were already warned will overwhelm them if they heeded not the warnings. This verse tells us very clearly that world works in a particular way due to set-up systems and laws and if you do not take right steps in given time then it is too late. After crisis deepened in Egypt under Pharaoh because he kept ignoring them when troubles began to overwhelm his kingdom at that time he tried to follow Moses with whatever people were left with him but the opponents when they saw they were winning then they did not give a damn about what he decide to do because they could see things were clearly working in their favour so they did not comprise at that stage of uprising. The bloody revolutions are very dangerous and achieve very little but it is a mechanism that moves world in the right direction bit by bit without people really knowing which way they are moving each other because each opposing sides tries to get what it wants so they end up settling for whatever they can lay their hands on. It gives people a fresh start but if people have no sensible program with goals and guidelines to follow then they too will be brought down by crisis in time after a while. This is why bloody revolution have no end unless education based revolution is given the chance for a peaceful change and change for the best end goal. Had people listened to Moses and given him the chance to run Egypt things would have been very different but they did not so they ended up the way they did and thereafter children of Israel became rulers in Egypt. So current Egyptians are not necessarily children of Pharaoh but may well be children of Israel. It is because from the text of the Quran it seems they were back in power in Egypt after these crisis were over. However a great majority of children of Israel despite that change changed their way of life as usual and may well have become like Pharaohs of Egypt themselves. A lot of research and exploration is needed to explain the story in the Quran about Egypt, Moses and Pharaoh. 79] That is how it became obvious Pharaoh misled his people instead of guiding them properly like Moses. Here the Quran is telling people how Moses and Pharaoh ended up as leaders of their respective people along with their people. One people ended up with life worth living due to following the way of life advised by Allah which was all about living for each other as a proper human community and others ended up destroyed by hands of each other due to following the way of life they chose for themselves ie a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. A lesson for generations of people to come as to which way is better and which is terrible to follow and why. 80] O Children of Israel! We surely freed you from your enemies and We called upon you to agree for upholding of Our program, constitution and law properly so that thereby We bring about for you blissful, dignified and secure life through your own hard works. This is what covenant is all about which people of God are supposed to reaffirm repeatedly alone as individuals and together as an ummah in small or large gatherings. This is what is talked about in Surah one as a declaration that we will not live by any way of life other than the one advised by Allah and in return Allah assures mankind that their needs and wants will be met in full if they turned their this promise into a reality by truly committing to deen of Islam. The Quran is free of nonsense stories about BAITAL MUQADDAS or BAITULLAH or Jerusalem or DAARUSSALAAM or DEVA NAGRI or holy land etc. What the Quran means by holy land is a place wherein people live by program, constitution and law of God ie the divine kingdom or MASJIDAL HARAAM or sacred piece of land. It is because such a kingdom is supposed to be free of all ills from which all other people suffer who do not live by that way of life. So people taking certain places as holy and killing or dying for them and worshipping them need to realise that no place is holy unless it is ruled by law of God and its people are free of all such faults that destroy a proper human community or society. When divine messengers came and established divine kingdoms they were holy lands for this reason but once that reason that availed them the title for holiness was gone then they became unholy because the people living there changed their way of life to ways of life that gave rise to all sorts of faults and defects that humanity complains against. Those kingdoms only remain a distance memory of holiness and that is all. All this tells us there were many holy lands throughout the world wherein divine messengers established divine rule. The last one was the land under the jurisdiction of deen of Islam in time of the final messenger of Allah. Thereafter Muslims established a much bigger kingdom especially in time of 2nd Caliph of Islam namely Umar bin Khataab. Islamic empire means where King or Emperor is God not man. Man is simply a manager of affairs for the Muslim ummah put in place by the ummah itself through free proper consultation among the members of the ummah at all level ie local, provincial and national. This is why Muslim lands ruled by kings do not count as divine kingdoms because taking over kingdoms with force instead of mutual consent of the ummah is unIslamic so claiming to be a king or an emperor and also claiming to be a Muslim do not add up because it is SHIRK in deen of Islam. This is why Saudi kingdom is not an Islamic state at all. It is a piece of land ruled by Saudi kings. Nothing is holy about that. Visiting places in the world is fine for learning some lessons because the Quran wants people to see what happened to which people and why and what is happening right now to people in the world and why so that if there is need then steps could be taken to put things right for the benefit of mankind. 81] So make proper use of everything useful provided for you and do not do anything in a way that brings harm to you in case you end up in grip of crisis. Remember any people who end up in grip of crisis at any time in any place do so due to following their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires for petty personal gains at the expense of each other. Again and again the Quran tells people be aware that following the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of a proper human community is not a good news for the future of the human population. Life is going to go downhill if people will base their lives on way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other instead of living as a proper human community. Words GHADAN and HAWAA need to be understood properly in the Quranic context. It has nothing to do with people following their own ideas and God punishing them rather it is about following ideas against his advised way of life and ending up in troubles. 82] However any people who turn to Our program and reform accordingly by truly committing to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity in deeds We are their protector due to their such works as help mankind develop to their full potential and that is how they prove they are properly guided. The Quran is telling mankind that if you have a proper base for living your life and are doing things that help mankind attain unity therefore peace for making progress to prosper then you are properly guided and therefore your future is secure otherwise you are just following your own nonsense no matter even if you do it in the name of God. Here God confronts ignorant fools in a big way who blame God for their own ignorance and stupidity yet claim to be devotees of God. It is due to these foolish people humanity is in crisis because they fail to use their God given brains, senses and provisions properly whereby they end up inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains and therefore ruin humanity. So political, economic and religious leadership needs to think what it is doing to mankind and why and masses also need to think why they are letting wrong people lead them to crisis after crisis. How many more bloody revolutions mankind need to learn their lesson for proper management of manpower and resources to ensure well being of mankind? 83] So at length We asked Moses, what is your situation with regard to Our program about your people, O Moses? 84] He said, they are closely following me and I am following the way of life as You told me My Creator and Sustainer in order to get Your promised results. Here the Quran makes it very clear what is mean by following a messenger of Allah ie it does not mean meaningless physical imitation of a prophet eg like wearing similar dress and doing things he did just for sake of imitation. It is because prophet did things he needed to do and not that he was imitating any messengers before him just for sake of it. So mullahs who teach nonsense in the name of sunnah of the prophet need to learn some sense. It is the implementation of the program with goals and guidelines from Allah that was important for the messengers of Allah for which they acted as they did and that is what their ummahs needed to follow and just try to live exactly as the prophet did word for word and action for action. In fact if people tried to do that world will be moving forward with time and people will be going backwards in time and the result is obvious ie ummah will become trapped in nonsense. 85] His Creator and Sustainer said, We indeed put your people through struggle along with you according to Our program but the SAAMIREE has derailed them. Word AL-SAAMIREE is from root SEEN, MEEM and RAA. It means something that is not clearly visible in some sense as to what exactly it is or what purpose it serves because it is wrapped up as if in mystery to confuse the observer. A person who gathers people in the street and tells them made up stories at night in winter sitting by the open fire in moonlight to pass the time. A state between light and darkness in which two different things cannot be clearly distinguished from each other by looking at them. The mixing of true information with false information in such a way that it is difficult to distinguish between the true information and the false information. A person who makes up baseless things as he goes along or a person who spreads hearsay or rumours etc. Other meanings are socialising at night, nightly chat, brown colour, colour of dusk, shoddy or shabby or despicable character, twilight zone, moonlighting, secret plotting, conspiring, planning to deceive, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. Word samiree may also mean a person belonging to a Jewish tribe called Samaritans who claimed their descent from Levi. If it does, it will simply mean the Jewish priestly class which turned divine message into a religious message due to their make beliefs. In that case that may be the reason that this word became used for fabricators of falsehood or people who make up stories from hearsay etc etc. May be Samirees were a mullah cult of BANI ISRAEL looking for a chance to turn teaching of Moses into religious mumbo jumbo, which is then used to create political, economic and religious divisions in the community. Any community is first divided on the basis of religious mumbo jumbo so the SAAMIREE person may be a priest or a political leader who knows how to get what he wants from the people by keeping them foolish by hooking them on made up stories as true. He may not be alone in this and may be put up to this task by others but because he took the lead that is why he is mentioned due to his leading role due to sowing the seed of discord in this community. Moses should have kept a special watch over him but he did not being busy worrying about other things he had to do to put things right for his community. A clear proof that messengers of Allah also suffer from human limitations because they are not supernatural beings. This person who could confront Aaron was not an ordinary person but clearly a dominant figure within the Israelite community who knew how to persuade these people. However Moses is made aware of this character and his actions and he does not like what happened in his absence due to his working on other things. So he comes to his people in a hurry and gives them a good lecture and deals effectively with Saamiree as well. 86] So Moses turned to his people in a state of outrage and sorrow and said, O my people! Did your Creator and Sustainer not have an agreement with you for blessing you with prosperity through a program with goals and guidelines for a balanced way of life? Was the agreement too demanding for you or was it that you wanted to attract a life full of crisis by ignoring advice of your Creator and Sustainer so you ended up breaching your agreement with your Creator and Sustainer which you entered through me? 87] They said, we did not breach the agreement by ourselves rather we were made to carry the burden of responsibilities to bring about balanced way of life for the people so we got ourselves rid of those responsibilities because that is what SAAMIREE told us to do. Word AUZAARAA is from root WOW, ZAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is seen as very valuable in some sense for some purpose. Other meanings include high official of some organisation, a government minister, supporter, value, criterion, standard for measurement, solid foundation, ornaments, impregnable mountain, refuge, councillor, backup, anchor, heavy load, crime, tools, weapons, instruments, something that proves instrumental, something that facilitates something, hook or something like a hook in some sense, tool or something like a tool in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. Word ZEENAH is from root ZAA, YAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is something that gives some value to something in some way for some purpose. Other meanings are affluency, ornaments, adornment, prosperity, decoration, weapon or something like a weapon in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense etc etc. Word QAZAF is from root QAAF, ZAAL and FAA. Already explained that it means cast away, get rid of, give up, side, protrusion, throw, shoot, be quick, run fast etc etc. Words AUZAARAN MIN ZEENATIL QOWM means foundational values that bring the nation prosperity. This verse shows how much grip tricky political, money lending and religious figures have on minds of masses. People do just anything without a thought when they are told by priests to do it in the name of God or by politicians or bankers for personal gains. This verse clearly tells us the difference between deen of Islam and religion as well as the difference between mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of people who accept Islam as a deen or way of life and people who accept it as a religion=dogmatic system of beliefs. People do not take deen of Allah seriously because it talks about betterment in this life and on that basis about hereafter but people are made more interested in better hereafter only the way priesthood has made this pleasing in their minds through baseless doctored indoctrination as explained in detail already. This is why political, economic and religious elite can very easily use and abuse masses because they are not interested in learning about themselves and reality of real world so they are unable to understand what is really going on in the world and what part they ought to play to stay safe from predatory mindset, attitude and behaviour of rulers, money lenders and mullahs. Only when going really gets tough some may wake up to reality otherwise they end up destroyed by hands of each other without even really knowing what has actually happened to them as a people. This is how people who learn not from what life has to offer die confused. 88] That is how Samiree reinvented for them the alternative social system and structure based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby he attempted to bring them down and yet he said this is from God of yours and God of Moses but Moses forgot to tell you about it. Word KHUWAAR is from root KHAA, WOW and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is at its early stage of its development ie just beginning to develop after coming to existence. Something that shows weakness in time of need so it does not fulfil its purpose when needed. Someone who shows his cowardice when one needs to show strength of character. A sound a newly born calf makes, mooing of a cow, low land between the high hills, humble, low life, fence or something like a fence in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. This verse is very clear proof that politicians, bankers and economists or mullahs are not the proper guides for scriptural message because they always try and push religious dogmas or make beliefs and ritualism which they invent to suit themselves then spread them in the name of God and then tell people God is a matter for personal faith so leave the political and economic decision making for us to deal with. This is why political, banking and religious figures attend gatherings to show themselves as true believers in message of God and very caring for people through setting up charity networks when they in fact are only trying to fool masses as already explained. Politicians fool people in political matters, bankers and economists fool people financially and mullahs fool masses by misinterpreting and misrepresenting scriptures. The Quran on the other hand gives importance to solid fundamental values whereby people make decisions and take actions. If end results are not good for masses then the Quran does not mince words in condemning conning tricks of dominant people in human community. This is why these people work together to divert true message of God from its objective. SAMIREE is just one of such harmful and destructive elements in the equation. 89] But could the people themselves not realise that the system they were proposed could not meet their needs as a proper human community and that it had no solid foundation for them to decide what is harmful and destructive for them and what is beneficial and constructive for them as a proper human community? Here the Quran condemns masses as well along rulers, money lenders and mullahs because people are people so why some let others fool them? If all were sensible then no one will dare try his tricks on others because one will know he will be caught and put to shame so keeping people ignorant is necessary for keeping them entangled in foolish ideas or beliefs. This is why rulers did not build educational and training institutions so that masses do not get education in case they then could not use and abuse them at will. 90] Aaron had already told them, O my people! This is only a plot against you the community to divide you because your Creator and Sustainer is the provider of all needs of all things including guidance so support me and be consistent with His program with goals and guidelines as I explain it to you. 91] The dominant people among them said, we will not abandon entertaining this way of living our lives until Moses return. 92] Then Moses returns and addressed Aaron, O Aaron! What prevented you from stopping them when you saw them being led away from program, goals and guidelines of Allah? 93] Did you not agree to support me in my assigned mission? Therefore did you not then breach that agreement regarding my given mission? 94] Aaron said, O leader of my community! Do not hold me responsible as a member of my community nor as a leader of my community till I have my say. The fact is, I did not intervene fully because I thought in that case you may say to me, you have caused a division between the children of Israel because you did not wait for me to have my say about it. Word LIHYATEE is from root LAAM, HAA and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is part of something that is very basic part of something or its foundation. Area of human face where beard grows, face, trunk of a tree, member of a community, insult, rebuke, beard, peel off something of something, revoke the bestowed authority, terminate the contract, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. These verses show how when a difference of opinion arises between two wise people they should address each other and solve the issue instead of behaving like jungle animals. This is major test of wisdom of leadership. A man tries to divide community on political, economic and religious grounds for personal gains at the expense of each other after it has been freed from clutches of people of Pharaoh who suffered from same disease and ended up destroyed by it. Aaron picks no fight with these people but does explain to them that what they are taking as basis is in actual fact an antisocial program that is harmful and destructive for community spirit. He does have support but does not use it against these people for sowing the seed of rivalry and animosity in the community. Aaron thinks that it is better to wait till Moses arrives and deals with this situation himself. The reason is, Moses was better equipped to deal with people of mentality of Pharaoh and the like. Saamiree was well versed in politics, economics and dogmatic indoctrination and knew how to bring ignorant people under his sway along with his supporters. After all it were children of Israel whom Pharaoh used to control their own masses by setting them up against each other. However, they also knew power of Moses to rip open falsehood in one go. This is why when Moses approached the very same people to explain what they did, they thought it better to remain quiet because he knew their game. Aaron had the wisdom to not to jump the gun because he did not have the enough life experience needed for dealing with these sort of situations and he knew that Moses knew what to do and how to do it better than him so he left the matter for him to deal with. When this incident happened Moses was busy working on plans to lead the people leaving Aaron in charge so he sent a messenger for him that Samiree has caused divide in the community so he should come and deal with this situation. The verses that talk about God telling Moses about the incident are just the way the issue is expressed because in the Quran God usually attributes things to himself even when done by others but are done as he wants them happen. Because interpreters misunderstand the Quran over and over again and again they invent supernatural stories to explain simple things. God only gives people his program and leaves them to understand the program and follow it the best they can. He does not intervene in parts where he has given right to act to humanity itself. If God needed to intervene each time to put things right for his messengers then where does that leave the rest of humanity and what does that tell us about abilities and characters of his messengers? It will mean God chose useless people to lead other people who did not have the abilities to do what they were told to do. So it is wrong to take divine prophets as something other than human beings or that they were useless as human beings. However when Moses came he first spoke to his assistant reminding him that he was bound by covenant and that he was supposed to fulfil that agreement so did he fail his duty or not? The assistant replied likewise that whether he fulfilled his duty or not the questioner must judge after listening to his side of story. After Aaron explained Moses did not find anything wrong with the way he handled the situation. The question is, what are the lessons in that story for the Muslim Ummah? That Islam is not a religion and causing divisions in Ummah is shirk no matter what else the issue is. The unity in the ummah must be based upon foundational values not personalities or places. Even if ignorant people cause division through false values unity must be sought through fundamental values rather than separation as the first step. This is why before moving away from the people who based their lives upon false values they were persuaded to an open discussion. When it became clear that most people will continue living by falsehood Moses moved away from them. However after that similar divide was attempted in the newly formed community which almost succeeded but was overcome at the last minute but again not by force but by reason. Such people were isolated who could cause divisions in the community based upon false values. So the Quran very clearly tells mankind which people the masses must never trust ie those who take personal gain at the expense of each other as their way of life. They will sell their mothers if they could gain personally. The Quran also tells which people to rely upon ie those who rely upon solid values that are given by God for people to live by as a proper human community. They will die but never betray you. This is why Ummah is a brotherhood of a people who live for each other at the expense of personal gains. This is proper Islam as far as the Quran is concerned regardless people like it or hate it and any other interpretation of the Quran against that is mullahs’ interpretation and mullahs’ interpretation is based upon personal gain at the expense of the ummah this is why divisions in the ummah are caused by mullaism and their ignorant supporters not the Quran based deen of Islam. Mullahs promote baseless ritualism not Islam and that is why instead of working hard for removing divisions and bringing about unity in the Ummah they are busy trying to influence masses to enslave them for personal gains through ritualism rather than educating Ummah and the rest of masses throughout the world. They know if people became educated they will lose their grip on them so they will no longer be able to use and abuse them at will. The true scholar of Islam is not the one who has certificate of an educational institution but the one who talks sense and has the sense to deal with situations that face people sensibly. The proofs of sensible dealing with situations come about in form of results of the actions taken. If they are found beneficial because they help mend rifts and help community develop to its full potential then the problems have been solved properly otherwise not. 95] After hearing explanation of Aaron Moses said to Samiree, Now what have you to say about all this, O Samiree? 96] He said, I thought of something about which they had no idea so in order to influence their minds with it I adopted the way used by a messenger of Allah to influence minds of people, so I used that to spread the idea I came up with, that is what my self prompted me to do. This verse explains very clearly how politicians, moneylenders or mullahs try to influence minds of masses by coming up with various personal goals and plans as well as tricks using available processes, systems, structures, mechanisms, procedures and practices for trapping them. This is like using a method for catching mice eg making use of trap and some bread, cheese or a piece of a vegetable etc. This is why masses cannot afford to remain ignorant about politics, money matters and religious information or be ignorant about these things and keep suffering the painful consequences. This is why there is urgent need for changing mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of masses for the better at a massive scale because one only reaps what one sows. Samiree perceived an idea that was inappropriate in light of divine guidance and decided to spread it just like a messenger of God spreads ideas about his mission from God. Samiree decided to do that because that is the kind of ambitions and desires he harboured in his mind. It is because people only try to do what is in their minds to turn their ideas into a reality. Samiree ddi what was wrong but he told Moses the truth. Moses did not get angry with him either but advised him sincerely to change for the better or live to regret it and that is because one either has to learn what is right and support it and see better results or learn what is wrong and support that and see the outcome for that. 97] Moses said to him, get out of this mindset, attitude and behaviour while you can because otherwise you risk isolating yourself from the way of life that is fit for a proper human community for a lifetime as if you are telling people yourself, stay away from me because I am a bad influence and that is the set law of consequences by Allah which cannot be breached. So you should reconsider your stance regarding program of your God He to whose program you sincerely declared commitment, so let us work according to it and then work hard to spread it vastly like sea. This verse tells us how to deal with people who step out of line or do serious wrong against the community spirit such as creating tensions between people. Since Moses was experienced enough to deal with all sorts of people Samiree came clean of his part in the trouble he caused. Moses does not hold his this act against him rather gives him courage in a brotherly way to reconsider his position for himself and reminds him about program of Allah and its requirement for the Israelites as a community spirited people. He finally says to him, our God is one so we too should be one people. One ruler one people so no divisions based upon baseless grounds. 98] Surely your (the Israelites) God is Allah, He other than whom none has the right to sovereignty whose observation of all things is comprehensive that is why He is able to guide mankind properly. 99] It is because Our observation is comprehensive that is why We can tell you O messenger some of the information of the past events as well as We have sent you from Ourself this Quran to spread as a guidance for mankind to live properly. 100] Those who avoid it will face the heavy burden of consequences of their harmful and destructive actions against each other in form of day of bloody uprising 101] that will keep happening to them for as long as they continue on that path. The consequences they will suffer during that sort of period of upheaval will be terrible. 102] The time is coming when life will be breathed into terrible wars and those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains will be gathered to go through this kind of way of life they will have brought about during that period of time. 103] They will murmur among themselves, it had to come to this because you never bothered to learn to live like a proper human community. 104] We know full well what they will be saying to each other, the most knowledgeable among them will say, you only lived on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other for passing time instead of paying attention to proper human community building program from God. 105] They will ask you what will happen to the people in positions of power? Say, the program of my Creator and Sustainer will bring them tumbling down because the sources from which they draw their power will disappear. 106] He will change the political, economic and religious landscape into a landscape free of all sorts of harmful and destructive divisions among mankind, 107] wherein you will not see any divisions based upon values that are harmful and destructive for a proper human community. 108] At that time mankind will come to support the call of Our messenger, none will dare show any crookedness against any other person, their voices will be humble before the program, constitution and law of the Master of the Universe and you will hear nothing in opposition to it but the sound as if of the marching feet of those acting upon the program. 109] During that period of time no intervention or interruption will be allowed by anyone that derails the set-up systems and program but only such intervention as is part of the plan of the Master of the universe for proper functioning of His program. 110] This is why He makes obvious what the past human generations did before them and what happened to them and what the future generations should do so that they get the promised results because they cannot encompass themselves what he knows so they need His guidance. 111] Their personal goals, ambitions and desires will become worthless for them before the goal set for them by the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of His Creation. Hopeless is life of such a person who lives on basis of inflicting harms and destructions upon others for his personal gains at their expense. 112] However anyone who takes actions to remove rifts from among mankind and removes obstacle in the way of development and progress of humanity because he has committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind will have nothing to be worried about because transgressor cannot succeed in taking away worthy outcome of his thoughts and actions for the good of mankind. 113] This is why We have sent this Quran in a distinct language that is appropriate for proper conveyance of concepts for proper understanding and in it We have explained the reasons for warnings so that mankind become consistent with Our program by accomplishing its goals according to Our guidelines for consistency within the human community or so that it is used by them as a manifesto to spread it among themselves widely to come together as a proper human community. This verse explains why the Quran is revealed in Arabic and for what purpose. It is because Arabic was most suitable language at the time for this age as explained already and the purpose for the revelation of the Quran was guidance of mankind regarding purpose of creation and revelation. A clear proof that the Quran is a distinct scripture in its own right that is revealed for this day and age as the final message for mankind from their creator. However it does contain all that was in the scriptures sent before it that was necessary for mankind to hold onto. Just as Muhammad was not the only messenger ever sent by Allah nor is the Quran the only message ever sent by Allah rather it is the final covenant between God and his human creatures through the final messenger and the scripture. He sent many messengers and scripture which do not exist anymore in their original forms but the past records still available do show that such scriptures did exist in the past. It is possible that one day mankind may find some of those scriptures in some form here and there when people search for them after developing better tools and better educated and trained manpower. Even if people do not find any physical evidence of this nature, it does not mean what the Quran is telling us in this regard is wrong because thing in this universe are not meant to last forever and ever. Whatever is available so far is proof enough that the Quran is right when it tells us about earlier revelations by Allah in other languages through other messengers of Allah. 114] So that thereby mankind could realise that the program for ultimate height of dignity of humanity belongs to Allah the one Who has proper right to sovereignty of this kingdom of the universe. However do not be quick in starting the mission based upon the Quran before Our commandment to you to reveal it to mankind for its implementation and keep seeking more and more knowledge for implementation of program of your Creator and Sustainer. Here the Quran is telling mankind that even though Allah revealed his message to his messenger, his messenger had to learn how to understand and implement it all by himself just like other people through knowledge based upon his own life experiences. When it comes to human beings, it is not a case of Allah saying things and man having knowledge about all that was needed for its implementation already. What it means is that it is case like that of a child who has committed the Quran to his memory and with time as he grows he begins to understand the message as he learns things about life. It seems that Allah reveals his messages to his messengers in their minds and then they start making sense of it and start their missions when they find themselves ready for it. This is why even though messages were in minds of messengers of Allah they revealed them to people in an organised way as it suited the situations for implementing their missions. So the final messenger of Allah was able to reveal the full message of Allah to people in about twenty-three years. It is because he had to think out ways and get means to implement the message in full as per his own understanding of it. Basically message of Allah is about bringing about an exemplary kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of mankind and to do that needs a lot of preparation of all sorts because establishing a kingdom is not a one job. A messenger of Allah has to get ready himself and then start finding suitable people and prepare them for the mission as well so it is full time work. This is why there is a time lag between the time a message is revealed to a messenger and the time when it is turned into a reality. These verses explain what is going on in the real world and the reasons as well as processes and mechanisms behind it. Mankind is told that harm and destruction in the world is inevitable unless mankind themselves educate themselves and avoid pitfalls and obstacles in their ways and learn to solve their facing problems. Even the Quran is no use unless mankind have learned the needed sense to make sense of it and then pass on that sense to others till mankind are ready to implement this program properly and fully as a community. If the way of life told in the Quran is ignored, any other way of life is not going to work and history will keep on repeating itself in form of bloody revolutions and wars will keep on irrupting again and again therefore lots and lots of death and destructions cannot be avoided by mankind till they repent and turn to guidance of God and each other as a brotherhood of humanity whole heartedly just like people work hard for their children and families not looking for rewards from or any sort of wages in return. This how all people must learn to live for each other and only that kind of mindset, attitude and behaviour can ensure their blissful, dignified and secure existence. So it is not that people do not know or cannot know but they deliberately want to make things difficult for each other and as a result suffer the terrible consequences unnecessarily for doing so. 115] We made a similar agreement with mankind through Adam before but mankind could not pay due attention to Our program as they were supposed to so they failed to keep up with it though We did not find in mankind determination to do wrong intentionally. 116] At the time through Adam We said to the chiefs of tribes, submit to Our program along with Adam so they all submitted save Iblees, he refused. 117] So We said, O Adam! This Iblees along with his tribe is enemy of yours as well as of your supporting community. So do not let him get you and your community both out of your kingdom based upon Our guidance so that you people fall victim to all kinds of unnecessary hardships and difficulties like before through inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. 118] In this set-up of kingdom according to Our guidance you will neither run out of things of need nor fall victim to any kind of unnecessary hardships and difficulties, 119] you will neither suffer from lack of knowledge nor from fire of hatred and wars. 120] However the opponent of way of life adopted by Adam and his people who held harmful and destructive ambitions and desires said to advantaged people of Adam, O people of Adam! Should I explain to you about way of life based upon struggle for survival for attaining a kingdom of your own wherein you the advantaged people will not have to struggle like all the rest for having a good life? As explained elsewhere, when Adam became learned enough through his life experiences to realise the need for guidance of Allah he sent revelation to Adam about his program for him so that he sets up a kingdom along with other human beings including iblees and his people. Iblees rejects the idea of living for each other as a proper human community because then he had to accept that he is one of the people rather than a chief with lots of privileges over and above the rest. Adam and his supporters had set-up a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah but iblees tried to derail them from their God given program. In time Iblees gets a chance to talk to Adam and his people and he manages to convince some of his people to live for themselves ie on basis of personal gains at the expense of the proper human community. When some people take up the idea and start struggling against each other, the kingdom they brought about by working together as a proper human community according to program of God fell apart. This is how they lost their refuge or protection or clothing that protected them from hardships and difficulties. Word SHAJARAH not only means a tree but a seed of discord or struggle for survival as well and word KHULD is life or survival. So it is not difficult to see in these words sense of struggle for survival because that is how people used to live before Adam realised due to heavy bloodshed between people they can live their lives in a better way than keep shedding blood of each other for petty personal gains. However Iblees despite efforts of Adam was able to convince some of his people back to his way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. 121] so advantaged and disadvantaged both people partook in struggle for survival against the advised way of life by Allah. As a consequence the results of their shameful thoughts and actions each other became obvious to them and they began to put together the leaves of the heavenly scripture to try and protect themselves against the harms and destructions they became involved in. That is how people of Adam became inconsistent with program of their Creator and Sustainer by doing things against it and each other. Adam was not created as a human being individually supernaturally rather he came about as a result of same natural process that brought about all other things to existence in a sequences. We can call that process tree of creation just like tree of life. All things came about as a result of big bang due to interaction between the sub-atomic particles. All mankind can do is try and explain how it might have happened through discovery of processes, mechanisms and laws etc that came into operation. Just as galaxies became galaxies, solar systems became solar systems and the earth became the earth so earth brought about life and life brought about plants, animals and people etc etc. The universe is like a huge factory that is full of various branches leading to various outputs and end products from the very same raw material. The Quran is full of verses explaining things this way and telling people again and again don’t mystify things to confuse yourselves. It is very stupid to think that Adam did not know how to have kids when animals long before him were involved in the very same process of reproduction and they were not hidden from him and they were paired male and female. If Adam was able to copy and do things like other things then what was the problem? Mullahs created nonsense stories about everything and attributed their nonsense to God and his messenger to make it look credible through appealing to authority not realising that wrong ideas do not become right just because you attribute them to some higher being or authority. In fact wrong ideas if taken to be from any so called authority then even that authority looks stupid and is disregarded. After all one has to see why people gave up religious make beliefs after going through educational process that enabled them to observe and reason things out for themselves. It is precisely because they became self aware and aware of universal realities. So people thought that if this is what God and his prophet-hood is all about then we are better without it. The time is coming when people will reconsider their position when they are better self aware and better aware of universal realities because they have not realised the fact that they should not have rejected the scriptures just because mullahs have proven themselves to be ignorant fools. It is at that time people will turn to God the way they were ought to in the first place. This means works of those people need to be considered which were opposed by mullahs throughout history because they talked sense. The reason is, rulers; money lenders and mullahs marginalised the proper ideas of divine scriptures in order to push through their ways of life for using and abusing masses at will. It is the so called educated people who need to come to realisation that there is lot more in the scriptures than meets the eye. So they must study the scriptures for themselves if they want a better world for themselves and their coming generations. If they do not then world cannot have peace therefore cannot progress and so we can forget about prosperity for mankind. In that case all promises for better world by all politicians, all economists and all mullahs are nothing but empty and lies. Those who will trust these people will lose out because these people have no such principles or foundations to live by that could guaranty what they promise. It is because the way the world is set-up by these people is biased toward use and abuse of each other. If you do not undercut others you cannot make it to the top ie it is a rivalry based world that is why those who get the chance and get to the top stay there and all others can only and only work for them. This is like you win a lottery and then use that to enslave everyone else no matter how educated they are. This is why this system has to be changed with a system that is based upon cooperation instead of fierce competition to try top knock each other out. The story of Adam is clear that Iblees wanted a human society that worked on basis personal gains at the expense of each other and Adam was told to adopt a way of life whereby each and every person has to work for common good. However way of life brought by Adam was initially undermined by way of life that was adopted by Iblees because most of his people followed ideology of Iblees. After going about life that way people realised that it was not working for majority of them so they then began to look for good old days as opposed to bad old days when all were working for betterment of each other and that is how Adam got back what he lost. This story is being repeated at a grand scale that humanity has been changing its mind between two ways of life ie should individuals live for themselves or should they live for each other. Since human beings are interconnected and interdependent in various ways they could never live for themselves 100% but then they never lived for long for each other either. The struggle and toggle continues and will remain so till mankind give up living for themselves totally for good. As things are, it seems that this will happen but it will take yet long time for mankind to settle the issue because true scriptural message has to get through so many people in the world and that is not an easy task especially in adverse conditions that pose major obstacles in the way. The Quran is full of stories how generations of people have been switching from one idea to the other. The problem with humanity is that it is in two minds at the same time ie one wants independence from God and humanity yet one also wants to have something to depend upon as well ie God and humanity. It is a situation that we cannot live without God and other human being yet we do not want to live with God and other human beings. So we still have a long way to go before we find out which way we are going to settle for good. 122] However Creator and Sustainer of Adam as well as his people restored him as the chief administrator of the proper human community due to returning of his people to program of Allah and putting themselves back on the provided track, 123] by telling the parties involved, get out of this mindset, attitude and behaviour and remain out of this situation that you have got yourselves in by some of you being enemies of others. This is why you the mankind were told that whenever there comes to you guidance from Me through My messengers then those of you who will follow My guidance will neither go off course nor get into divisions thereby hardships and difficulties 124] but any of you people who will turn away from My program will live a life full of misery and We will let such a people add to their misery till the time of bloody revolution and upheaval. This verse contains word MAEESHA which means economic sep-up. Very important word indeed because it tells us that Quran is not a religious holy book because book that lays down foundation for a proper human society cannot be a religious holy book full of all sorts of nonsense. It is a book that talks about everything humanity needs from society and politics to economics in order to fulfil its God given purpose which is keep gaining knowledge and doing things till one day man has the ability to manage his universe the way God wants it. The blind has no place in human society ie the one who decides to remain ignorant or sees no need for light of knowledge. The world belongs to those who learn and do things for the good of mankind. 125] So much so that he himself will come to question himself saying, O my Creator and Sustainer, how did I come to add so much to my misery when I was created with ability to observe things carefully and understand them properly and then do them faithfully? 126] Thus he will be made to realise and regret his mistakes and a voice will rise from within himself saying, all this you did to yourself because when Our revelations came to you to raise you to a dignified life you ignored them that is how life of dignity by passed you. 127] Thus do We payback such as transgress against Our set limits and do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of human community according to program, goals and guidelines of their Creator and Sustainer. That is why difficulties of life keep getting more and more in numbers and heavier and heavier in weight right to the very end of one’s life. 128] Is it not enough as a warning for mankind the way their past generations fared, how many of the past generations We left to themselves and saw them destroy themselves in whose habitations you move about? Certainly within these ruins there are lessons for people who observe things objectively to understand them and do what is proper. 129] Had the overall plan of your Creator and Sustainer not been decided upon already then people would have suffered instantly results of their all actions but they were given a time gap between their thoughts and actions and the results of their thoughts and actions so that they could overcome their mistakes. 130] So work steadfastly against what they put forth as an alternative way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other by striving to your utmost ability to manifest glory of the way of life advised by your Creator and Sustainer through implementing His program right from before the time of sunrise till the time the sun goes down, and even during parts of times at night so that you succeed in helping people adopt the way of life advised by Allah for your human kind so that you end up pleased with the outcome of all this very hard work of yours. It is not an easy task to help others to your way of thinking and seeing things your way but it is made a lot easier by revelation of Allah because it provides mankind with solid common foundation that can never be undermined by anyone no matter how hard people try to do that. This is why even though mankind have not yet adopted the way of life advised by Allah save odd small communities here and there as exemplary proper human communities but it is gaining ground as humanity is becoming more and more educated for its own reasons. So time is coming when people will begin to see en masse the advantages of adopting this way of life and doing things according to it to attain blissful, dignified and secure existence. That will show the outcome of hard work some people are putting into letting mankind know about it. Once people adopt this way of life and get promised life they are bound to adore it and praise the one who advised such a way of life for them. This is how glory of Allah will become obvious for mankind. 131] Never even think of living by way of life of those who look forward to gaining what We have provided for them by way of personal gains at the expense of a proper human community for personal glory as low lives because therein lies rivalry and animosity for them forever. In contrast to that use of provisions from your Creator and Sustainer according to His advised way of life can bring huge relief and gains for mankind that can prove lasting. 132] So tell your people to live as a proper human community supportive network and stick to it steadfastly. We do not demand anything of you for Our survival and sustenance but instead We provide you with a way of life and provisions to ensure your survival because survival based upon unity peace, progress and prosperity is ultimately for those who are consistent with Our program for the well being of humanity. 133] Yet these ignorant people say, why does he not bring us a proof from His Creator and sustainer that we ask for which proves to us the way we want that he is sent by Our God? Has not a clear proof in form of the Quran come to them containing all the needed information of all the earlier scriptures for guidance of mankind? Here Allah is telling mankind that this Quran contains all necessary information that was already revealed in scriptures given to people before the revelation of the Quran. A clear proof that the Quran is word of Allah because no author of a book wants to declare, here is my book but information is not mine because I copied it from writings of other people. If anything people who copy works of others they try to hide it so that people give them the credit for it instead. The main reason the Quran is telling us this is because Allah advised same way of life for all people right from the day he began revealing his guidance for mankind. 134] Had We let them perish before its revelation they will have said, Our Lord! If only You had sent us a messenger, we will certainly have followed Your program with goals and guidelines before being humiliated and disgraced by our own make beliefs and useless actions. 135] Say, all nations are bound by respite for the outcome of their thoughts and actions about each other so you people too will have to wait for results of your thoughts and actions about each other. Very soon you will find out which people are following the proper way of life and they are guided properly because of results of their own thoughts and actions about each other. All people must think and act in a way that ensures well being of all people as a proper human community for attaining blissful, dignified and secure existence and any people who will think and act on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other will always end up destroyed by hands of each other always sooner or later after going through a lot of painful suffering. |
Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 21 AL-ANBIYAA – The messengers chosen by Allah were ordinary people who were given the task of forming proper human communities for establishing exemplary kingdoms based upon guidance of Allah for blissful, dignified and secure existence of people within their jurisdictions but after the end of prophethood from Allah the mission is passed onto followers of the final messenger.
This surah is named AL-ANBIYAA from roots NOON, BAA and ALIF/WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is such piece of information that is available to a person due to his being at the right place at the right time but not the others however the person aware of this information can make the others aware of it who were not at that place at the time to become informed about this piece of information. Such a person who can act as a medium between two parties. Other meanings of this root are migrant from one place to another, protrusion, rise, news item, to over power, to inform, to foretell, prophesy, to predict or forecast, to claim to be a prophet of God, to seek news, prophethood or messengership from God, a missionary, a ruler of a people, a high ranked official of a kingdom, an envoy or diplomat, fish or inkpot or something like a fish or an inkpot in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense, shelter, protection, family, household, tent, constitution or law or tradition, bull or stick or something like a bull or stick in some sense, God or king or ruler or a person who has authority, hand or something like a hand in some sense, a handhold or handle or basis or foundation, grip, control, a person chosen by God as his messenger, a person chosen by God as his prophet and messenger, a person informed by God to inform people etc etc. This Surah is named AL-ANBIYAA because it talks about things related to people who were chosen as messengers by Allah ie what they were, what task they were given and how they carried out their tasks. They were human beings who were sent to people to deliver program of Allah for them for establishing exemplary kingdoms for ensuring well being of mankind. In a way this surah contains details about the prophet-hood which are obvious from the text of the surah. The main points to remember are struggle between two ideologies a)manmade and b)God sent. Manmade ideology is to live for oneself ie for personal gains at the expense of all others. It is an idea of living one’s life at the expense of another idea which is for formation of a proper human community. The way of life advised by Allah stresses that individuals must try their best to rise above animalistic mindset, attitude and behaviour and must come together and live on basis of human brotherhood, ensuring that all people have a great life in this world with help and support of each other. This is not the ultimate goal in itself but a way towards a higher goal which is management of this universe by mankind through human creativity and invention so that mankind manifest glory of their creator through their realisation of their God given potential. This ultimate goal cannot be achieved unless first mankind understand themselves and the universe they live in and that is why concept of unity for working as a team becomes necessary for people to adopt. If mankind will oppose any of this then they cannot rise above level of other animals and so they will remain trapped in animal mindset, attitude and behaviour and the results of that will remain as we all can see it in our world before our eyes. For the best world order to emerge mankind must keep on improving their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours till they get there. Each time people will give up their this struggle world will slide back into chaos, this is why the message from God must be kept in forefront of everyone’s mind with proper understanding of it in order to make it a reality in the real world. People who read the Quran just for sake of it must question their purpose of reading the Quran. Any sensible person will have to agree that any piece of writing is for reading and all readings are only and only for understanding what is written. So reading the Quran for purpose of other than trying to make sense of its message is nothing less than making mockery of the Quran and wasting one’s precious time. There cannot be any benefit in doing anything unless there is a sensible purpose to it or an end goal. The sheer number of messengers and books sent by Allah make it obvious that there has to be some vitally important purpose to all this. Mullahs have deliberately invented concept of sawaab=some imaginary reward in doing things aimlessly. They did this to keep masses ignorant so that they could have monopoly over scriptures so that then they could use masses as they wished. This is why they opposed inventions that could help educate masses because that could result in mullahs losing their control over masses. The use of printing press, audio amplifiers, film making and cinemas, radio and television and now internet etc were all opposed by mullahs in the beginning till they were force to back track their fatwas. Had mullahs been sincere men of God working for his mission they will have invented these things rather than issuing fatwas against them in order for mankind to make progress. Today the same mullahs are misusing these things by spreading their stupidity in the name of Allah and his messenger. Throughout the Quran God is bringing to attention of mankind the natural world because without people being self aware and having awareness of universal realities how can they make sense of anything at all? So it is time that ummah tried to prevent mullaism and supported efforts of those who have been helping ummah understand the message of the Quran. Unless people learn sense and rise up themselves mullahs are not going to give up manipulation of message of God through his final messenger. So long situation remains as bad as this, the establishment of deen of Islam ie the proper way of life for mankind to live by in this world is not going to be easy. It is for this very reason the ruling elite, the money lenders and the priesthood have been pushing baseless dogmas and useless rituals as the message of God for humanity so that deen of Allah remains just an idea and humanity keeps on suffering painfully by hands of these vultures and bloodsuckers of humanity. Their sole aim has been to derail the mission of Allah in order for them to carry on ruling people as they wish. So if humanity wants to end worldwide use and abuse of people by each other in the world then people must educate themselves about the world and deen of Allah and establish deen of Islam as it is told in the Quran otherwise there is no end in sight for suffering of humanity. Human life does not become worth living just because people stop using and abusing each other rather they must also come together and organise and regulate themselves as a proper human community and with help and support of each other must make worthy plans for actions and carry them out to ensure people can produce what they need to fulfil their needs as a bare minimum and do more so that ultimate goal set by Allah for mankind could become fulfilled. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind that, 1] The set goal is well within reach of mankind but they are being negligent in working towards it. Word HISAAB is from root HAA, SEEN and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that links start of something to its finish eg a process that turns something through a definite course of actions to an end product. Other meanings of this root are family tree, linkage, algorithm, flow chart, a program or a process or a roadmap, accumulation, computation, counting, reckoning, honour, glory, sufficiency, investigation, assumption, presumption, estimation, to suppose, to consider, to take to task, hold accountable, to submit to, to work according to something as a reference point, an outcome, result, goal, fence or something like a fence in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense, destination, terminal etc etc. 2] It is because there comes not a message to mankind from their Creator and Sustainer bringing them some necessary additional facts beyond their reach but some of them listen to it only for the purpose of perverting it for subverting it from its purpose in order to remain engaged in their harmful and destructive activities against each other against Our guidance. Word MUHDASIN is from root HAA, DAAL and SAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that occurs or happens or comes to being as new as compared to something that has already happened or has occurred or is already in existence. Also a report or news, an accident, a new event, a novelty, something that takes place the very first time, original, a youngster, to do something the first time, a truthful person, a news reporter, to be the first to do something, novel, made up story, invented news or report, a report in a hadith book attributed to the prophet regarding his word or deed that may be true or false, an explanation of some sort about something, the Quran, youth, to create, incident, to tell, to narrate, to originate, to speak to, to disclose, to divulge, to inform someone, to acknowledge, to show gratitude, to initiate, something newly created, fresh, a discourse, a narration, conversation or chat, topic, subject of conversation, statement, tiding, account, tale, information, lesson, example, cautionary tale, dream, vision, ambition, fence or something like a fence in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, basket or something like a basket in some sense, a collection, a gathering, a pile of something, message etc etc. Here the Quran very clearly tells people that rulers, money lenders and mullahs are highly deceptive people because they have secret meetings to try to find tricks and mechanisms to use and abuse masses for their own ends so they plot and conspire to keep people away from learning things about God and his plan by replacing the message with such interpretations that suit their own purposes. This is how they are able to use and abuse people by telling masses in the name of God what they want masses to do for them using the name of God. This is why staying ignorant, illiterate, uneducated, untrained and unskilled has its very bad disadvantages for masses and that is why people must become learned and help each other do the same so that people could stop this use and abuse cycle due to each other’s ignorance otherwise cat and mouse game will continue till people learn sense to become sensible enough top stop it. Sitting there praying to God to do this, that and the other is not the teaching of Allah instead Allah guidance people to do things for themselves by learning to deal with each other properly and effectively. This is why so long as people themselves do not learn things and stop harmful and destructive actions against each other no one else will and that is why use and abuse of some by others will continue while ignorant and stupid people look for a saviours from heavens who will never come because people do not drop on the earth from heavens. They are born here on the earth among already existing human beings and are raised by existing people and unless such people come about who can raise such saviours of humanity they will never come. Heavenly saviour simply means a person who is strong enough to take on oppressors and abusers according to guidance of Allah in the message of Allah just like messengers of Allah who rose from among them people themselves and saved their communities from destruction by hands of each other through establishing a network of a brotherhood or ummah. Likewise Muslims need to come out of their nonsense beliefs and start reading the Quran and do what it says and then see the result. All messengers sent by Allah to save people were ordinary human beings not supernatural beings flying down from the heavens with supernatural powers. Proof enough that things do not happen in this world the way mullahs will have us to believe. It is because this world is physical cause and effect based world as already explained in detail. 3] Their minds are preoccupied with harmful and destructive ambitions and desires for personal gains at the expense of each other in ways that lead to their own mutual destruction by hands of each other, these chiefs of the opponents of Our guidance say to each other in private, is this the man who claims to be a messenger of Allah but he is nothing more than a human being like yourselves? Will you then give in to the trickery of this man while knowing all this about him? 4] Say to them, the set-up systems and laws of my Creator and Sustainer make obvious the results of every ambition and desire that is expressed by people in form of their own actions be they the dominant elite or the down trodden masses because He observes all constantly and informs mankind about all they need to know for their proper growth and development as a proper human community 5] yet some of them say, this Quran is only a collection of baseless dreamt up thoughts that are intellectually very confusing but others say, no, he has produced it with help of works of other people to fool us, and still others say, no, he is just a nonsense talker who thinks he is better aware of things than us, but if what he claims is true then let him bring us a supernatural sign we ask for like that of the messengers of the past. Word ADGHAAS is from root DWAAD, GHAIN and SAA. Concrete meaning of the root is some things bundles up together in such a way that it is difficult to distinguish one from the other. Also things confused together, confusion, some pieces of thread entangled together in such a way that is it difficult to find their ends in order to separate or identify them, a bundle of things, unravelling of hairs, a camel suspected to be suffering from an afflicted hump, mixture, hallucination, a puzzle, a pile of jumbled things, something that puzzles or confuses, nonsense, a medley, incoherent mix, a bundle of things that do not work or fit together, disorganised things, something chaotic, handful of plant stalks, bush or plant or something like a bush or a plant in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, basket or something like a basket in some sense, to try to confuse the issue, something unclear in some sense, nightmare, handful of things, a bundle of branches of various pants or trees, handful leaves of trees or pants, a limited amount of livelihood etc etc. Word AHLAAM is from root HAA, LAAM and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to become mature. Also to become adult, to be grown up person, be able to distinguish between right and wrong or real and unreal, to be calm or sincere, to be able to think things through properly, take time or not to be in a hurry about something, to not come into rage all of sudden over something, a time when a beast of burden is grown up enough to be used for carrying loads, to do things according to some sort of rule or law, to do things in an organised way, to be sensible, forbearing, to be in full control when doing things so that nothing can go wrong, to do things properly despite having the choice and ability to do them improperly, to behave in a dignified manner, to have wet dreams, to attain puberty, to gain wisdom, to be patient, clemency, be a sensible person, nipple, a young goat, rationality, intelligence, reason, mind, fence or something like a fence in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, limit or something that sets a limit, something that drives something into doing something, motivation or motivating factor, water or something like water in some sense, energy, force, power, authority, something inspiring etc etc. The Quran tells mankind you cannot understand anything at all from the Quran until and unless you learn how to make sense or understand the real world realties, so no doubt ignorant, illiterate, uneducated, untrained, unskilled and unthinking people find the text of the Quran impossible to make sense of. However those who have build up their capacity to make sense of what the Quran states they have little or no problem in understanding the information the Quran tries to convey to the level they have prepared themselves for receiving guidance from it. This is like kids in primary school making statements about higher level subjects that they make no sense to them so therefore they are nonsense. Therefore no wonder people who have not developed their intellectual capacity to the level required by the Quran find the Quran a book that makes no sense because they are looking in it for things they want to see and the way they want to see them. As explained already in detail, Allah never sent any supernatural being as his messenger with supernatural powers to any people ever to show supernatural signs which people call miracles. It did not serve any purpose for Allah or people to do that as already explained in detail. So people who ask for such miracles are put up to it by mullahs of their religions through doctored indoctrination in order keep people confused and under their thumb. As for word SHAA-IR in this verse which is from root SHEEN, AIN and RAA. It has been explained already ie it means awareness, realisation, conscientiousness, poetry, to go beyond norm in some sense, to talk or say something that makes no sense to other people because others are not that aware or they think the talker is ignorant or insane so he is talking nonsense, to say something unrealistic, to exaggerate about things etc etc. Poetry is mainly used to express truth or emotions in awkward situations where friends and foes are present so that the message gets to the intended person/s without provoking the undesired elements who may end up causing one trouble or embarrassment. Messengers of Allah are highly learned and highly intellectual people so they not only know how to understand things themselves but also how to help others understand things provided they too make the needed efforts to learn to understand things therefore they do not mince their words like poets leaving people confused as to what they singing and why or who is their intended target or what reason. Some people think the Quran condemns poetry and poets but if we look at the contents of the Quran as a whole then it becomes clear that that is not the case as explained already. The Quran nowhere condemns anything that it considers beneficial for mankind in the sense that it is beneficial. It only forbids having or doing things in any such way as could prove harmful or destructive. This is why any poetry that is harmful is forbidden but any poetry that is beneficial is allowed. If we look into past history of humanity when people had very limited means of writing things for preservation it was poetry that helped them remember things. Even today children are taught nursery rhymes to help them learn words and ideas. So songs and music can be used in a very effective way for the benefit of people. The Quran itself is not in straight forward prose but neither it is in form of poetry but something in between so that it is neither taken as a song or as a speech but something that should be thought through thoroughly and to help remember what it says it uses a kind of rhythm. People have memorised the Quran which is good and people have learned to recite the Quran properly so there are great hufaaz and qurra but not enough attention has been paid to proper understanding of its message. Mullahs are busy indoctrinating people with their memorised but not well thought out lectures. It is time for Muslims to pay special attention to proper understanding of the Quranic message otherwise as the Quran reaches more and more nonMuslims it will be attacked more and more due to spread of mullaism based Quranic message which has many faults in it that I have mainly ignored to mention because once people start thinking over my explanation of the Quran those faults will become obvious to them all by themselves when they will read or listen to nonsense of mullahs. The main thing in any case is that if people will not educate themselves to become self aware and aware of universal realities then my explanation or of anyone else will make no sense to them at all. The Quran is only for those who have what it takes to make sense of it and only after having proper sense of the Quranic message people can think of implementation of its program. However if people will not learn for becoming proper human beings then so long as the Quranic program remains unknown therefore unimplemented the world will remain as it is ie a terribly divided and dangerous world for a very long time to come. So the sooner people take aboard the message of the Quran the better. This surah starts with a verse that tells mankind that if they decided to make sense of things with all due sincerity then blissful, dignified and secure existence is within their reach as a proper human community but that is not the way people approach life instead they approach life in a lazy and crazy way so what is within their easy reach therefore seems a very long distance away. 6] The fact is, We never sent any supernatural sign they talk about to any of the messengers instead We only sent Our guidance for people to abide by to have united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous lives yet not a single nation - which We left to itself due to rejection of Our guidance therefore ended up destroyed - committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity so will these people commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of their human kind according to Our given program to save themselves from that kind of destruction by hands of each other? In verses like these the Quran repeatedly reminds us that people have their own false imaginations as to what a divine messenger should be and what he should do. It is because people have been putting false concepts and imaginations in minds of each other about representatives from God. This is why they were rejecting the divine messengers and massages because they did not meet their unrealistic therefore false expectations. This is why the Quran wants people to put their expectations to test and see if they really stand to reason against the explanations of the Quran. Some assume that God even if one exists cannot be known about at all so anyone who claims to be from God is a liar. Is this not a claim in itself that one knows that God cannot be known about at all? Others assume God according to their own imaginations and so they expects miracles from God as proof without realising that miracles cannot prove anything at all rather they disprove the very idea of proof because proof is merely an explanation of available evidences that works or makes sense intellectually ie through logical consistency. Miracles have no purpose to serve and they cannot be proven to serve the claimed purpose as already explained in detail therefore the idea of miracles is a false idea. All such talk only proves such peoples’ own lack of realisation of the situation they are talking about. God is what he is and he knows what he can or cannot do and people should try and understand things they can know as explained by God and if they make sense then that should be the way the people should understand God as he explains himself. The idea that we must first know God and then worry about other things is a wrong approach because people cannot know God without knowing what he is telling mankind about things they can know. If then they find that things they can know are explained properly by God only then they can trust themselves that they may be able to know things about God as well. It is because to know things people need to observe them and God cannot be observed as a being but only through his works and words which is why it is the proper way to approach the question of existence of God and some other related questions ie sincere study of creation and revelation both. In a way it is like a person saying I am not going to have a father or mother unless I know him or her first. Had that been the case one would not be born at all. How could one question the one who is in control at the time when one does not even exist when things are to be made to happen by him? It is up to parents to decide whether they want to have children or not and how many they want if they do. Likewise it was up to God to choose or decide about things and all we can do is examine his explanation of things to see if it makes sense or not. This is why study of creation and revelation is a must otherwise it is nothing more than waste of one’s God given life. 7] The truth is, We never sent any messengers before you O Muhammad but they were all human beings like you the people to whom We sent Our revelations. Say, if you people are unaware of this fact then ask the people who had been sent similar scriptures before this. 8] Moreover We never gave the messengers the bodies other than the ones humans have, which could survive without food or could live forever without any needs for survival. Word JASADAA is from root JEEM, SEEN and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that exists in actual reality as a physical thing. Also something that has physical body in real world, body, to embody, to take a concrete form, to coagulate, to be next to the body, to be dyed with saffron, effigy, statue, image, lifeless or dead body, a body that has no needs or wants to continue living, an organised body of people, a society, an organisation, governing or controlling body, camel or something like a camel in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense etc etc. Here it is made clear what the divine messengers are ie ordinary human beings not supernatural beings with supernatural powers as ignorant people imagine them to be. Not only that but it is also made clear that world is a physical reality and works according to set-up physical systems and laws as can be observed in nature day and night. God only intervened where he had to, to keep things working according to his worked out plan. He had to intervene to create the world and he had to intervene to send his messages and messengers but once he gets things going there is no need for God to keep intervening like a kid plays with his toys rather he has set-up his systems and laws such that need no further intervention by God for a set time ie nature takes care of things the way the universe is put in place to work. This is why God needs no angels like creatures as imagined by people nor jinns or magicians as imagined by people. It is time people read the Quran for understanding it properly by letting the Quran speak for itself and not look in to it to prove their nonsense ideas that have no basis in reality. It is wrong to have some make beliefs and then look into the Quran to see if they could be shown to be backed by the Quranic text by taking the Quranic text out of its proper context. This is how so called Muslims in form of politicians, money lenders and mullahs derailed the message of the Quran, the Hadith and the Fiqh and misled the ummah. Muslims today believe and do all those things in the name of God and his messenger and scripture that nonMuslims believe and do, so they need to stop and think in light of the Quran by knowing the Quran itself properly first but in light of real world realities and not through made up stories of mullahs about things. Word JASADAN is very important in this verse which means physical form in reality or a body. 9] However Our revealed information proved true in case of earlier generations of people so those who followed Our guidance it saved them from harm and destruction by hands of each other due to living as proper human communities but those who ignored Our guidance ended up destroyed by hands of each other due to adopting the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. Verses like this one are repeated in the Quran telling mankind that there is a permanent agreement between God and mankind as stated in Surah one that is daily confirmed many times by so called Muslims that they will live by program of God and God tells them that he will bring them unity, peace, progress and prosperity yet there is anything but unity, peace, progress and prosperity in Muslim states today. What does this tell us? It tells us, we have ignored divine program and that is why we are not getting the promised results. It is because we can only get what we work towards. If we are busy trying to learn and do things that divide us then the end result has to be sectarian warfare between Muslim sects and that is what we are getting. This will remain our situation till we give up wrong interpretations of the divine message and find out the proper interpretation and follow it faithfully that can bring unity, peace, progress and prosperity of people as a proper ummah or community or brotherhood or human family. There is no chance of having unity while we work for divisions among ourselves. Likewise there is no chance of peace if we are working for wars between ourselves. How can there be development and progress if we are working towards stagnation and regression? How can we have prosperity if we are doing everything that brings poverty of all kinds eg knowledge and things of need? We cannot distribute anything if we have not produced anything for distribution. To produce things we must do what produces things and not do something else that takes us away from that and think that will produce what we need. This shows there is a serious problem with Muslim way of thinking and doing things and that problem is lack of knowledge or awareness how the real world works. Our logic is inconsistent therefore we must correct our way of thinking or things will only get worse instead of getting better. 10] Therefore We have sent to you the people the program with goals and guidelines for the constitution and the law wherein lies your own blissful, dignified and secure existence, so why don’t you people use your brains and senses properly to learn to understand things for that purpose? 11] Moreover think about how many human populations have We seen destroy themselves due to adopting the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other instead of Our advised way of life whereby they ended up inflicting harms and destructions upon each other therefore We saw them replaced by others? This verse is also repeating what we have been told before that if you do not have what it takes to survive then you are not going to be around for much longer and those who will be better at survival will take over. This will keep on happening till mankind learn to live as told through revelation. It is because there are only and only two basic ways to live in this world for people a) live in rivalry and b) live on basis of cooperation, support and brotherhood. If mankind will live on basis of rivalry then in competition all those not able to complete will be eliminated in the process and that will lead to a lot of unnecessary painful suffering and destruction but if they will live on basis of brotherhood then life will become better for mankind because a lot of painful suffering due to rivalries will be eliminated and due to hard work of all people humanity will be able to build a great life for itself. As explained already, if people accept divine guidance well and good but if they do not then they can do as they like and that will lead them to conflicts and wars that will destroy some by hands of others. There are not going to be clear winners and losers but only losers because when people fight each other humanity loses. This will keep on happening because some people think other people are lesser kind of human beings so they can be used and abused at will. All this happens due to lack of education and thinking that helps people realise what humanity is all about. 12] When the tipping point reached they felt that Our set-up systems and laws were about to make them face the results of their own thoughts and actions against each other, they tried to flee from the consequences of their own thoughts and actions against each other, Word YARKUDOON is from root RAA, KAAF and DWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is to hit something in some way to make it do something. Also to hit sides of a horse by hands or feet to make it move, to beat, to urge on a horse to run by beating its sides with one’s legs, to beat wings in flight, to beat ground with one’s feet, to walk, to run fast, to run away, to quiver, to kick, to stump on the ground with feet, to escape, to take a flight, head or something like a head in some sense, hand palm or something like a hand palm in some sense, plant or bush or something like a plant or bush in some sense etc etc. When things are seen to be gone wrong it is already too late for a population to survive the crisis because things do not go wrong over night for a nation they take their time. This happens to people who shut their eyes and ears instead of staying alert to what is going on all around them. This is why when nations ignore little things going wrong in them it does not take long before the large scale stuff goes wrong and then there is little chance for such nations to make a comeback. So a nation is only great if it has a solid foundation and has built itself solidly and then maintains itself in that state. Such people have to be based upon DEEN of Islam because only a way of life that is capable of leading people to unity, peace, progress and prosperity can help them live their lives properly as a society or human community not religion because deen of Islam is all about proper management of people, land, resources, production and distribution etc. If people are united socially, politically and economy wise then rest of things fall in place all by themselves. On the other hand religions are great tools for dividing human community in every way because once a people become divided on basis of religions then other divisions follow automatically and that is why religions were invented to destroy understanding of deen of Islam by those who wanted to rule human masses for their own personal gains at the expense of rest of humanity. So one can see whether the Quran encourages deen=a way of life or mazhab=a set of dogmas and that will make clear to people what Islam really is, DEEN or MAZHAB. If Islam is deen then people who follow mullaism must give up mullah following mindset, attitude and behaviour and instead learn the Quran properly by themselves and work for success of deen of Islam. This is how they will become proper human beings and will succeed as promised by the Quran. God did not create people to adopt ritualism to please God and live rest of their lives as they please like animals. He created them to live by his purpose by adopting his program for them to achieve the goals he set for them according to his provided guidelines as a united human family working together as one people. So if people do want unity, peace, progress and prosperity then they must give up thoughts and actions that divide them because when troubles come looking for them then they cannot run away from them no matter how hard they try. Don’t cause troubles if you do not want to suffer the consequences. What goes round comes round. So don’t be surprised when the pie you throw at others ends up back on your own face. You reap what you sow. 13] At the time Our warners said to them, it is too late you cannot run away now because you remained stuck to your ideology of personal gains at the expense of each other for far too long so face now the consequences of your thoughts and actions against each other based on that mindset, attitude and behaviour about which you were warned already. 14] They replied, how sad! No doubt we have ruined ourselves due to adopting the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby we inflicted harms and destruction upon each other to such degree that we are ruined by each other as a consequence. 15] They kept on repeating that statement to Our warners till We saw them destroyed by each other completely leaving no spark of life in them. Word ZAALAT is from roots ZAA, WOW and LAAM and ZAA, YAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to stop doing something one is doing in some sense. Also to cease an activity, go away, go silent or quiet, to disappear or vanish, to collapse or become destroyed, to fall apart, to abate, to calm down, to end, to become extinct, to practice, the loss of something, to change, to move aside, to give way, to go far away, to become distant, to separate, to desist, to decline, to fall, to sliding away of something from its place, tool or weapon or instrument or something like a tool or a weapon or an instrument in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crooked, twisted, bent, something reliable, something capable of carrying weight or responsibility, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, something that motivates or inspires, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. Word HASEED is from root HAA, SWAAD and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to cut the crop in a farm with an instrument or crop cutting tool. Also a mowed down field, a field from which crop has been harvested already, to reap, to harvest, yield, to twist a rope tightly, to do something with exactitude, to become angry, mown down, cut down, destroyed, levelled, evened out, fence or something like a fence in some sense, limitation, prohibition, restriction, plant or bush or something like a plant or bush in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, a way in or out of some place or situation, controlled entry or exist etc etc. Word KHAAMIDEEN is from root KHAA, MEEM and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to go quiet. Also to go silent, to abate, to faint, to die out, to go off, to be in contemplative mode, to go into thinking mode, to contemplate, spent, extinct, expired, dead, fence or something like a fence in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, to stop moving or growing or developing, to decline or fall, to quench fire or put out fire, to become unconscious etc etc. Revengeful people are very unforgiving so it is not a good idea to victimise each other to create such situations because destruction of such nations is then sealed. 16] So be aware O mankind that Our creation of the far away galaxies as well as this galaxy and all that lies in them is not without a set purpose. This like verses have been repeated in the Quran telling humanity to take life seriously and work hard to make the world a great place for itself so that all involved in this venture end up pleased with their creativity and thereby become aware of glory of God. 17] Had We desired to make the universe a mere pass time play ground then We will have done things that way to suit Our that purpose all by Ourself, leaving nothing at your discretion or imagination. 18] This is how We give falsehood a violent blow with the truth to knock it out and that is how falsehood falls apart. Beware that terrible life awaits you the nations that attribute falsehood to Us. Word YADMAGHU is from root DAAL, MEEM and GHAIN. Concrete meaning of this root is brain. Also a concussion, to fracture a skull, to kill by a blow on the head, to vanquish, sunstroke, to destroy, to break the head of, to cause grave damage, to annihilate, to crack the head of, to quash the brain of, to destroy the control of, to destroy the command and control centre of something in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, controlled entry or exist, water or something like water in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense etc etc. Word ZAAHIQ is from root ZAA, HAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to become extinct. Also to perish, to end up dead or destroyed, to pass away or expire, to run out of options, to run out, to be fat, to be emaciated, to die, to vanish, to disappear, to end up defeated or vanquished, something weak or susceptible to death or destruction, tool or instrument or something like a tool or an instrument in some sense, something instrumental in something in some way, window or something like a window in some sense, monkey oe something like a monkey in some sense, agile, clever, mischievous etc etc. It is falsehood to attribute religions to Allah which were tools invented by rulers to destroy the message of God for humanity. Religious masses are stuck in terrible life and will remain in that state till they stop attributing them to Allah and start understanding and living by program of Allah for them. 19] Behold! To Him alone belong all the people regardless they live in the far away galaxies or in this galaxy. Those who base themselves upon His advised way of life do not try to dominate each other by trying to undermine each other because they never deliberately ignore His guidance. This is a very interesting verse because it tells mankind that one day they will be living in the other galaxies as well as this galaxy because that is what mankind are created for to get to know their creator and sustainer by way of observing his creation throughout the universe as well as through understanding his revelation. 20] They strive their utmost as directed day and night to try and manifest His glory. In these verses God explains to mankind his purpose of creation and his program for humanity as well as about such people who could be thought of as a people working according to program of God. These are neither mullahs nor so called spiritualists or saints and politicians or money lenders. They are people who have proper knowledge about themselves and the universal realities as well as the revelation of Allah. Ignorant and stupid people who are not even self aware and have no idea what universal realities are and far less any idea what revelation is all about are not those the Quran is listing here. These verses are telling mankind which kind of people they must choose as their leaders and how far the masses themselves should make themselves aware of things to be fit to be called Muslims and top be able to make right choice of leadership. Kingdom of Allah cannot be brought about or run and maintained by ignorant fools. 21] Or have the rulers people have taken for themselves in the world other than Allah the ability to give them any program to raise them to dignified life? Word YUNSHIROON is from root NOON, SHEEN and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to publicise. Also to make public, to announce, scent, to waft, to sprout, to unfold, to come into leaf, to multiply, to raise, to revive, to resurrect, to saw apart, to spread out, to scatter, to raise from dead, to disperse, to go about one’s business, to spread out in numbers, waking up, manifesto, program, a list of things or goals, things clearly spelled out or detailed, fish or something like a fish in some sense, ink or something like ink in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. 22] In fact had there been any rulers in the heaven and the earth other than Allah, both the heavens and earth will have been in a state of disorder. Since the heavens and the earth are free of such disorder therefore that proves that sovereignty over the universe belongs to Allah alone, Who is free of the falsehood the ignorant among mankind attribute to Him. The idea in these verses is that since the universe is working in full harmony as set up by Allah for the purpose it is created, it is proof of the fact that same set-up is responsible for whole of this thing so there is no sense if people take on other rulers instead of the one who created and runs the universe. In another verse Allah challenges mankind to find disharmony in the universe to prove there are more than one creators of this universe or its maintainers. If it is all work of one God then there is no sense in giving right of rule to anyone other than the one who created all this. This is why people must accept that sovereignty is only right of Allah and not of any people no matter what they think of themselves. This is why people too must learn to live in harmony as advised and guided by Allah. 23] He is accountable to none about what He does but the mankind are accountable to Him for what they do to each other against His advice and guidance. 24] Or do they think they have the right to take rulers other than Him? Say, bring your proof. Here is the proof on behalf of those who support me as well as proof on behalf of those who lived before me on the same basis. The fact is, most of them are not aware of facts or how to make sense of them and that is why they have ignored Our guidance and therefore they have ended up living the way they do. This is a very powerful verse because it challenges mankind to bring proof of right of attributing sovereignty of this universe to others than Allah. In fact this is a challenging verse for the Quran and its followers as well because the Quran claims to be proof for claims of its followers about their God. So people who do not study the Quran for proving it word of Allah in fact do not study the Quran at all because without knowing for sure the Quran is word of Allah how can anyone promote or propagate it with sincerity as such? This is why it s a very strong slap on faces of all mullahs who deliver useless lectures on behalf of religions instead of properly representing to mankind message of their creator as they are supposed to according to the Quran. This is how people can catch lies of mullahs by reading the Quran for themselves instead of learning it from mullahs and then accepting their nonsense due to their own ignorance and stupidity. 25] The truth is, We never sent any messenger before you but revealed to him that none has the right to rule in this universe save I so abide only by My rule of law as a proper human community. 26] Despite having received this message that sovereignty only belongs to Me alone some still dare claim the Master of the universe has a successor. No that is not the case rather all people who abide by His rule of law are His honoured law abiding citizens of His universe. 27] They do not take their own words and deeds above His law instead they abide by His program with goals and guidelines for constitution and law. 28] He makes obvious to them what went on in the world before them and what is future going to be for their coming generations this is why they do not participate in the world but only the way it is consistent with His plan and purpose for the mankind so they are mindful of His program therefore they benefit from it greatly. 29] They are also made aware that if any of them claims, I have the right to sovereignty over people other than Allah then We will let him face the terribly painful consequences for so doing. This is how We leave those who transgress Our set limits on their own to face the consequences of their own thoughts and actions against each other against Our guidance. In verses like this in the Quran oneness of Godhead is fundamental ie the Quran does not accept any other God in this universe either as rival of Allah or as a supporter of Allah as a family of Allah or otherwise. The point that God is only one must be taken very seriously. The other point the Quran clarifies is that by God the Quran means ruler or sovereign of the universe. This is why none is allowed by Allah to claim rulership of anything in this universe nor anyone is allowed to attribute rulership over anything to anyone other than Allah. The whole creation is simply put creation of Allah and nothing has ruling authority over anything else instead all things are subjects of Allah alone. This is why his program, constitution and law is supreme because it is from Allah the ruler of this universe. Anyone setting up his own government or anyone supporting it in this universe is contravening fundamental requirement as stated in the Quran and is therefore termed a MUSHRIK. So shirk not only means that people take gods other than Allah but also other rulers. Setting up any other government anywhere in the kingdom of God is rejection of the sovereignty of God over each and everything. So people who set up such states and people who accept such states as legitimate are all MUSHRIK as far as the Quran is concerned, which is a very clear proof that Islam is a DEEN not a MAZHAB. A fundamental conflict between the Quran and the religions. The separation between state and religion is therefore shirk therefore it is termed LAA DEENIYAT- Lacking of deen or anti deen. Secularism for this reason is called anti deen of Islam. The very reason the human world supports secularism is because it gives people a tool to move deen of Islam out of their way leaving people in power free to use and abuse others as they wish for their own personal ends. The main reason for this was ignorance of masses as to what deen of Islam really is. They are fooled by each other about religion and secularism. They are playing in hands of clever political, economic and religious elite and suffering consequences of their self imposed stupidity. So it is very important that masses start understanding the difference between religion and deen of Allah. It is DEEN God sent for people to live by not religion. Universe and all that is in it including people belongs to God alone and none is allowed to live in this kingdom outside his program, constitution and law. Anyone who does and humanity at large that allows it is bound to face consequences for doing that. The consequences are made absolutely clear throughout the Quran ie humanity will not be able to live in unity therefore peace, it will not be able to make progress therefore it will not be able to prosper as it should be able to do if it followed advice of God. Not only that but terribly painful suffering will fill the world due to atrocities of people against each other against guidance of Allah. All this has been explained already in detail. So people need to think where they stand in light of the Quran and whether they will be better off sticking to the Quranic program for the good of each other or by discarding it in favour of their own personal ambitions and desires for personal gains at the expense of each other. 30] Those who deny Our sovereignty over the universe why don’t they observe the universe to understand the fact that all the galaxies including this galaxy were once upon a time a single mass, which We then split asunder to bring them about? Why don’t they also observe to understand the fact that We brought forth all living things from water? After knowing all this will they still not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind? Word RATQAA is from root RAA, TAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is a whole with all parts stuck together in one place as a single dense or solid thing without any gaps of any kind. Also separate things that are joined are stuck together in such a way that there is no gap between them, to join, to connect, to link, things joined together in such a way that they do not have a separate identity or any gap between them, to bring together, a solid or dense object, space between any two fingers, a closed up mass, darkness, to mend, to join together, to repair, to patch up, sticking together, layers pressed together into one mass, head or something like a head in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense etc etc. Word FATAQ is from root FAA, TAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to expand something in some way. Also to split open, to rip open, to rent, to slash lengthwise, to split apart, to create a gap in some sense, to open up space, to expand space, to make space, to slit open, to unstitch pieces of a made up dress into its separate constituent pieces, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense etc etc. The main point people need to understand is that Allah has created mankind to find things out by way of experimenting with things that is how people learn ie we human beings discover things through direct interaction with them in the environment we have been created. So as a proper human community if humanity finds out that something is not good for it then it can forbid it in the sense it is harmful for mankind. It is because people are supposed to create a proper human community as a starting point with a little bit help of revelation of Allah. Things told about in the Quran are merely exemplary and not a full detail of them just to show how people themselves should apply the given ideas in the Quran for solving the problems of life and living towards a set purpose. It is a case like that of a maths book wherein we are shown how to solve any particular kind of problems so that if we ever come across those kind of problems we have no problems in solving them. The Quran gives mankind a program with goals and guidelines to fulfil for a set purpose that Allah had in his mind for mankind for which he created them and the rest of the universe. This is what the humanity is working towards knowingly or unknowingly. Anyone who has mullah given idea of Islam in his mind cannot understand the Quran because mullahs have altered the focus of humanity from what they were supposed to do to what mullahs have set for them to do either due to their ignorance or on top of their ignorance for reason of personal gains at the expense of others. Deen of Islam is not about pooja paat or test or punishment of Allah as already explained in detail. This is not the reason Allah has created mankind. Allah has created mankind both advantaged and disadvantaged so that they live for set purpose of Allah. That purpose is to know Allah through his creation and revelation. To know Allah people first must learn how to live properly as a proper human community so that they survive to focus on other goals of higher nature. This is why all people must complement each other and work towards a world that brings about a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah. This is why people must bring about the kingdom of God in this world. Once they have managed that then they can focus on other higher goals such as seeing the glory of God by planning to travel throughout the universe. It is one thing to adore God for the world he has created but quite another to go and see it with your own eyes and then adore God. Humanity has to overcome all problems in its way before it can finally reach the ultimate goal set for it which is to know God through his creation and revelation by accomplishing things through personal creativity. This is why by the time that time comes about mankind will have discovered many things and will have benefited greatly from their discoveries along the way to ultimate goal. It is because Allah has created mankind to overcome nature through properly understanding nature itself. All this will happen through people themselves experimenting with what they have been provided with in this world. This is why the Quran is full of verses wherein it tells us repeatedly to focus on observation of things in natural world and learn and do things and move on. The more and more we do that the closer and closer we get to our God set goals. The Quranic view of the world is very different from all other scriptures in the world. It is based upon real world realities that can be observed and figured out by way of reasoning by people themselves. Allah has placed huge potential in mankind to develop and progress that is why he has equipped mankind with brains, senses, bodies, provisions and revelations. It is only a matter time when humanity will come to realise all this for itself. Allah has created things for people to have and use and he has guided them about what to have and how to use it in order to move into better future, so people are free to experiment and readjust themselves accordingly and as they will do that human future will become brighter and brighter. So there are many things waiting for us human beings to discover both in the real world and in the revelation of Allah. What I am explaining if one keeps all this in mind and reads even the existing seriously faulty translations of the Quran one will still see a lot of it makes us focus on that. For example, the Quran contains verses about importance of brain and senses and tells us to use them properly and not be like animals or worse. The question one has to ask is, why? It is because according to the Quran these are our primary sources of knowledge about real world realities. If we do not use them properly then we cannot learn how to be sensible. Our logic and sense of consistency in logic develops only and only from that. Only then we can judge what is right or wrong, consistent or inconsistent, complete or incomplete etc etc. Without having brains or senses or environment wherein they can work and things they need to work with the whole thing will be useless and senseless. So by experimenting with real things in the universe we learn how to be sensible and when we are sensible enough then we are moved on to focus on revelation of our creator and sustainer to see what we may have been created for so that then we could do those things in order to fulfil the purpose our creator has set for us to fulfil. This is how divine scripture becomes our secondary guide with help of what we have learned already through our experimentation with things in the real world realities. I have all I want to explain about the universe and the Quran in my mind but it takes time to put it in writing for explaining it to other. My work on the Quran is in progress and will take some time to complete to my satisfaction and only if I am availed the opportunity to do so. This work is going to prove to be final nail in the coffin of mullaism and religions. It will open up a whole different way of looking at the text of the Quran and the universe for future scholars. 31] Observe and understand also the fact that We brought about mountains and valleys on the earth lest it remained submerged under water with them and We left between them open passages so that they may find their way and direction when they go about their daily business on the land, sea, air or space. Word RAWAASEE is from root RAA, SEEN and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is deep inside something. Also something buried under something or sunk in something, something submerged in something, something drowned or under water, to come to stand firm, to dock, to anchor, to sink, to push a peg firmly into the ground, to mend, to effect a reconciliation, to harmonise or balance something in some way, to break into downpour, to cause to settle, to fix firmly, mountains, to cause highlands and lowlands to come about, to cause mountains and valleys or peaks and troughs or heights and depths, to ballast, immoveable, coming to rest, something very large, something that has influence over something or over shadows it, something that has something under it, head or something like a head in some sense, leadership of a following, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense etc etc. Word FIJAAJAA is from root FAA, JEEM and JEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is a wide road between two points of a journey. Also a distance between two points, vast open space between mountains and valleys, wide open space situated in a hilly area, wide path situated between high mountains, sound or movement made by a frightened ostrich, unripenness of fruit and vegetable, mountain pass, ravine, a path to a distant place, vastness of open space, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, gap, cave, to consume or use something in some sense, camel or something like a camel in some sense, rope, durability, beauty, something that can carry load or responsibility, foundation, base etc etc. 32] And We have made in the heaven a safe canopy yet they are not paying attention to Our works as the evidences of Our sovereignty. Word SAQFAA is from root SEEN, QAAF and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is top of a base. Also something that covers something in some sense, roof or ceiling over a floor, to be tall and bent, thatching, roofing, canopy, dome, heaven, sky, something that shelters or protects from something from above, atmosphere or atmospheric layer or envelop, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, custom, law, example, precedent, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, agile, clever, mischievous, Mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, to use or consume, gap, distance between two points, remote, something that is at a distance from something in some sense etc etc. 33] Say, He is the One Who has given rise to the mechanism which results in phenomenon of the night and the day as well as brought about the sun and the moon. All the heavenly bodies are rotating on their own axis as well as travelling along swiftly each in an orbit of its own fulfilling its set purpose. 34] Likewise work all things in the universe including cycle of life and death of individuals and nations, We never granted permanence to any human being or any manmade way of life before you so even if you are to die as per Our plan, will these opponents of Our guidance live forever? It is necessary to always keep in mind that the Quran is full of verses with complementary meanings as explained already. So any verse with complementary meanings can be looked at in various contexts eg this verse can be looked at in context of this surah. The surah is explaining things about prophets of Allah in light of the universal realities. It is because this surah is negating false image that has been attributed to messengers of Allah by those who wanted to oppose deen of Allah therefore the talk of death to drive the point home that if the messengers of Allah were anything other than normal human beings like yourselves then why do they die and if they did not then where are they today? Why did they get ill? Why did they eat and drink and have kids etc etc? If everything they did was just like other human beings then what makes you people think that they were supernatural beings or had such powers due to which you expect supernatural acts by them? This is a very powerful proof that Allah never shown any so called miracles to people through messengers because if any such thing was done then that will have re-enforced that false image or belief the ignorant people already had in their minds which was instilled in their minds through doctored indoctrination by imperial mullahs. As explained already that this was a trick to make people think that unless one was a supernatural being or had such power he could not be from God so if one did not measure up to this criterion then he could not be accepted as a true messenger from God. This let emperors and their mullahs carry on using and abusing these people at will because they did not bother looking at the saviours of humanity the way they were supposed to because their minds were already conditioned or made up through doctored indoctrination. This is why a huge majority of people in the world is expecting divine saviours in the form that has nothing at all to do with the actual message from God. Divine saviours came to save humanity through divine programs for mankind to act upon to do things for themselves that ensured their well being and dignity as well as safety and security not supernaturally through miracles and supernatural powers or supernatural magical tricks. By putting masses in wrong frame of mind these harmful and destructive rulers and mullahs succeeded in putting humanity through terrible painful suffering. It is an unforgiveable crime of humanity itself that it let itself to be fooled by some of its own members despite individuals having their own brains and senses to see through this kind of falsehood. The Quran through and through exposes all sorts of tricks and make beliefs that rulers, money lenders and priests etc use to fool humanity yet masses live like animals because they use not their brains and senses to learn logical thinking to save themselves from this tragic state of existence. Even today people who claim to be Muslims are waiting for Jesus and imam Mahdi etc to come and save them supernaturally. The question is, did God ever send any such messenger before to save any people? If not then why should he do it now? The Quran negates all made up stories that people have been spreading throughout times and places. This is why to think Jesus is alive today and he will come back etc etc are just make beliefs and nothing at all to do with the Quran and authentic Ahaadith. If anything such reports if true they could mean something else to which we have failed to pay attention due to our senselessness. The Quran is anti personality cult this is why all people are treated like people and not Gods. The Quran through its ideas and arguments disproves all such beliefs in all religions which turn people into Gods and God into people or even less than people. The proof is that if those people were Gods or God was those people then the world could not be the way it is. Even the idea of jinns being some invisible creation like human beings can be seen right through as falsehood as already explained in detail but if people want to make fool of themselves or want to remain in that state of mind then none can help them not even guidance from God because that too needs people who have learned sense. This is why despite the Quran telling people Muhammad was just another messenger like the ones already passed away before him and that he will die like them yet people await Jesus and think prophet Muhammad is alive in his grave. All this because people do not want to accept reality and the reason they do not want to accept reality is because they are not self aware and much less aware of universal realities therefore it cannot be expected of such people to realise the actual message of God as to what it means. After all people were born knowing nothing and they want to remain ignorant when they know that all things in their life were strange but gradually they began understanding them and they were no longer strange for them. Likewise if they start learning about things which they take for mysteries they will gradually come to find out that they have perfect natural explanations. God always saved mankind through his program and it were people themselves who saved themselves by working according to the given program of their creator and sustainer. People who claim that a prophet must be a supernatural being or that he must have supernatural powers or must live forever because that is what their scripture tells them then where are those people who were supernatural beings or had such powers or did not die and are still alive? It shows all these claims were always based on lies just as they are seen even today. Why these people saved just a few people of their own time and since then humanity is suffering? So people need to look at the real world and see what fits with it in their scriptures and take that seriously and reject all else as falsehood and make belief pushed on them by rulers, money lenders and their mullahs to turn them stupid instead of sensible people so that they could use them like donkeys. 35] No, rather each and every living thing including human beings is bound to go through experience of death. We only created you the mankind to put you through struggle to demonstrate your gifted abilities with reference to Our guidance for Our set goal for you in order to avail you opportunities to inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains or ensure well being of each other therefore you should consult Our guidance as your reference point. Word nafs is from root NOON, FAA and SEEN. Already explained but it also means beauty, sophistication, complexity, unity, to be one or united, to be complete or perfect, a system, fish or something like fish in some sense, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, gap, custom, way of life, tradition, law, deceptive, cunning, slippery etc etc. In these verses the Quran makes it absolutely clear why Allah created mankind and provided them with all they needed so that they fulfil his ultimate goal set for them as per his guidelines but along the way opportunities are provided for people to do as they choose instead taking undue advantages of each other. However should they do that then they should be ready to face the consequences as well. Despite Allah telling them clearly the purpose of their creation and how they can fulfil it some people are not bothered with listening to messengers of Allah for the messages they claim they have brought them from their creator and sustainer. 36] Yet those who oppose Our guidance hold you in contempt when they see you instead of appreciating your hard work for trying to help them do well by saying to each other, is this the one who talks against your rulers despite the fact that they themselves deny and oppose the guidance of the Master of the universe. 37] However the fact is mankind are evolved through direct life experiences therefore soon We will show you the mankind Our evidences when you become sufficiently aware of real world realities but you should not expect of Me hurrying the process. This verse is making a very important point that mankind are not evolved only biologically but intellectually as well so no matter how quickly God teaches anything to mankind they cannot learn it till they reach the stage where at they can make sense of guidance of Allah. The Quran is there when a person is born but a human being has to grow up enough to be able to understand what the Quran actually says only then one will be able to see what the program is and how to go about in fulfilling it. 38] After all this explanation mankind still ask, when will this promise of Allah be fulfilled if you have spoken the truth? The promise of Allah is not just one thing but two things as told in verses before these verses a)if people will implement program of Allah, they will certainly end up in blissful kingdoms and b)if they will avoid it then they will never be able to get out of troubles, so much so that nations will harm and destroy nations and individuals will harm and destroy individuals. So after revealing his guidance for people he has left it up to mankind themselves as to which way they wish to go. Whichever way they will choose to act the results of their thoughts and actions are promised to be delivered to them in full. If people will do things to live as a brotherhood then they will have what they worked for and if they will work for personal gains at the expense of each other then that is what will be delivered to them. This question is raised by those who are actually not bothered with the divine program to make sense of it to see things in their proper context. They are more at saying, God was going to punish us for not accepting his message so where is the punishment you promised? This is a false accusation because God does not punish anyone, it is people who do wrong to each other so it is they who punish each other because when there are enough victims of oppression then tipping point is reached that triggers a bloody revolution which then takes over and so oppressors become victims of their atrocities by hands of their victims. The world has been through many, many upheavals and still people remain where they were in their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours because each time a new group of people took over the rest and victimised them, the whole cycle kept repeating with very little change. If people had brought about prophetic revolutions then that would have required some people to properly educate others about divine program for its proper implementation. Bloodshed still could not be avoided but that would be due to oppressors attacking the reformers of humanity. They do so because reformers deprive them of their victims or slaves. However if oppressors also repent in time and reform then all people become a brotherhood and there is no chance of bloodshed. It is a new beginning for all as a new people in a way. 39] Had the opponents of Our guidance understood Our message properly they will not have said so however when that time comes, they will not be able to protect their leaders from fire of hatred nor their supporters because they will have none to help them. 40] Not only that but upheaval may come upon them all of a sudden in form of a revolt and overwhelm them so abruptly that they are unable to avert it because they have no time to respond to it. This verse explains that even though things keep going from bad to worse in a human population yet no one can see upheaval coming other than people familiar with message of Allah because such things happen suddenly when tipping point is reached for the ignorant about the warnings from Allah. When tipping point is reached, anything can trigger things from then on, so it is not a good idea to keep thinking one can handle a situation no matter what rather it is better that people do not go down that road that far because there is no good outcome in following that path and living in worry of things all that time waiting for things to happen. People will be better off getting rid of wrong ways of doing things instead of deliberately creating damaging and challenging situations for themselves. Life in itself is a huge challenge and instead of meeting that challenge creating troubles is nothing less than stupidity of mankind and especially those in positions of leadership. Leadership is all about leading mankind for better life not misleading them into life of all sorts of dangers, hardships and troubles. 41] As for their provocations through taunts and mockery, Our messengers before you were not given the due attention either but their taunters and scoffers were hemmed in by the very thing at which they used to scoff. 42] Ask them, upon whose set-up systems and laws other than the Master of the universe do you rely be it the time of the night or the day? Despite relying upon His set-up systems and laws for their existence and survival they ignore program of their Creator and Sustainer that is only there for ensuring their own well being as a proper human community. Here the Quran is again asking people that you do each and everything according to the way the natural world works otherwise you know it cannot be done yet when same being who has set-up all these systems and put in place laws for nature to work tells you how to live your lives properly you just ignore it and face terrible consequences, why? People should try and answer these questions that Allah asks people here and there in the whole of the Quran. It is utter ignorance and stupidity of people not to learn about message of their creator and sustainer properly and follow it faithfully for their own good. It is because if they cannot look after themselves and each other they cannot fulfil the purpose for which their creator has created them and not only that but that means they will remain in painful suffering for as long as they keep ignoring the message of their creator and carry on doing as they please to each other and then blame it on their creator. 43] Or is it that they have taken other rulers for themselves who stop them from following Our program? Those whom they take for rulers other than Us have no power even to help themselves so they could not have held them back from following Our program to fulfil Our purpose had they become determined to follow it. Here Allah is telling people that no one can stop them from following the will of Allah if they decided to do that because leadership has no power to control people unless people themselves agree with its doings and give it power over themselves against the way of life advised by Allah. In that case people suffer not because Allah put them under control of other people but because people themselves gave away their right to self determination to others unconditionally and they are not taking it back even if they have been cheated and are used and abused by them. This is why the Quran tells people to learn things and put things right if need be when they go wrong because they will not turn right all by themselves. It is a constant struggle for mankind to create and maintain the best world order as a proper human community. It is utter stupidity of mullahs to tell people to sit and pray when things go wrong for them and Allah will put them right supernaturally by direct or indirect intervention. The Quran is very clear that Allah has revealed his guidance for people to learn and do things they are supposed to do to put things right by themselves as told so no point telling Allah do this or that for us as if Allah is a servant of people. Mullahs have put in minds of people terrible concepts about God and that is why the whole world is confused about God and his message. It is time people questioned their nonsense beliefs and put found out what the proper concepts are which Allah has taught humanity himself. 44] The fact is, We provided them and their forefathers with provisions in abundance for bringing about a good life for humanity by using them properly but instead they got used to using them against Our advice so program for building a proper human community became distant for them. However as a result of their inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains do they not see that We are gradually reducing the land under their control in every way? So do they still expect to overcome their self created problems without Our program when they are busy undermining each other due to their stupidity? How land, resources, production and distribution is slipping out of hands of people? It is because as population is increasing on the earth whatever people have is getting divided between their own future generations. This change is brought about by laws of nature. As people live by rule of rivalry and animosity so a man sees his own children killing each other for whatever he has gathered for his own family. Loads of family feuds in the loads of families is making life hell all around the world, yet man cannot see his own stupidity the way he has accepted to live instead of changing this way of life for a better way of life that can prove really worthwhile. The Quranic way of life will lead people to a very different level of thinking and action free of harms and destructions as well as boredom because by living as a brotherhood and looking for gaining control over other planets through research and exploration people can have anything they set their minds upon instead of giving birth to new generations for killing them after prolonging their painful suffering. In other words the Quran is giving us opportunity to live our lives in the best possible way that cannot be surpassed. 45] Tell them, I am warning you on the basis of revelation from Allah and only the deaf will choose not to listen to the call when they are warned! 46] However even if a light touch of the wrath touched them about which your Creator and Sustainer has warned them they will certainly cry, bad future for us because such troubles were expected due to our inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for our personal gains at the expense of each other. 47] However We have put forth properly balanced or consistent standards for mankind to bring about the period of time when they are properly established where after none inflicts or suffers any injustice. So that even if someone acts for the benefit of others of weight of mustard seed We will thereby bring it to light and reward it properly just as Our set-up systems and laws are sufficient to keep things in proper balance or consistent in the rest of the universe efficiently. 48] This is why We granted Moses and Aaron the Criterion as well as the light of reason so that they could strive hard to establish Our standard for those who wished to be consistent with Our standard as well as with each other. The Quran again and again tells us that guidance of Allah is only good for those who have learned how to reason things properly already. Each is useless without the other. 49] Such as were mindful of the set standard of their Creator and Sustainer even though they had not seen it at work yet but they cherished the moment when that was to become an established reality. Here the Quran is telling us what happens when a messenger of Allah starts his mission telling people about the message of Allah. Sensible people examine it for its truth by making proper sense of it and if they like it then they keep promoting it to get enough support for it to implement it. This is what Muslims ought to be doing ie learning the real world realities and the message of Allah properly and then keep promoting it faithfully till enough people in the world accept the message and they together bring the change in the world for the betterment of people for ensuring the well being of humanity. Being ignorant oneself and trying to impose nonsense in the name of deen of Islam on others is no service to deen of Islam or humanity at large. 50] Likewise blissful is this standard which We have revealed as the Quran for you the mankind of this age, will you still deny its benefits to yourselves? 51] Similarly even before Moses and Aaron We blessed Abraham with his due guidance from Us, so that thereby We make him known as a most knowledgeable person in the world at the time. In this verse Allah is telling mankind how important having the best understanding of things is in order to satisfy oneself as well as help others do the same and then come together as a proper human community to bring about the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for ensuring the well being of the mankind as a very basic level of trust in guidance of Allah. Therefore it is of vital importance for all people to be aware of the fact that it is impossible for any human being to understand anything at all without going through process of learning by way of direct interaction with things. This being the case in actual fact, how can people claim they know the Quran when they have no idea about real world realities the Quran talks about? Is it not true that people are born knowing nothing at all? If it is then where does their knowledge come from if not from interaction with things in the real world? Is it not true that Allah has given people brains and senses as well as bodies and provisions along with his revelations so that people could first learn sense through interaction with things in the real world and once they have learned sense then they could get guidance from his revelations as to how to live properly by way of using provided things properly? Which sect mullahs have explained deen of Islam from the Quran on basis of real world realities as they were supposed to according to the Quran itself and if they did not then why should people following them? Is it not the time yet for this ummah to educate itself and give up foolishness and stupidity or does it want to continue its needless painful suffering yet longer? The Quran does not teach humanity dependence upon God beyond provisions and guidance for their use. The rest is up to people not God, which is a very clear message of the Quran for humanity. People can complain all they like and as quiet or noisy as they like or cry to God all they like day and night but in the end it is people themselves who are made responsible to do things for themselves and each other as a proper human community. So what are they doing to bring about the proper human community advised by Allah so that a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah could become a reality in order for people to have a blissful, dignified and secure existence? All mullahs are devils in disguise who do not tell the truth about the way of life advised by Allah. They are fooling the born ignorant masses and that is most criminal thing to do. So people should get out of nonsense of mullahs and start using their own brains if they want to succeed in this life as well as in hereafter. Remember, people who do not learn to use provisions of Allah properly can never succeed in here or in hereafter. Success and failure is given in the hands of people themselves by their creator. So people are their own saviours. It is they who are in trouble so it is they who need save themselves with help of each other as a proper human community. So people should do what needs to be done and they should stop wasting time in doing things that lead nowhere and waste time instead and by the end lead them to their self destruction. So when are people going to learn and start relying upon themselves instead of looking to God who told them already what he had to tell them in his book? So first become sensible by getting needed life experience to understand the book of God and then read it to get needed guidance and then get up and do what needs to be done that is proper deen of Islam according to the Quran. Anything other than that one reads in translations of the Quran by mullahs is works of mullahs to make fools of people for their own reasons so find out what those reasons are or suffer the consequences for staying ignorant and foolish. 52]Imagine the occasion when Abraham asked one of chief priests of his people as well as his people, what are these dummy rulers that you have set-up for yourselves that you sit around devoting your lives to their service? In the verses like these the Quran wants people to imagine how clever people among mankind used to make fools of masses by devising concepts to divide people in the name of state and religion. This dualism has been there throughout human history ie priests blessed rulers in the name of God and kings blessed priests with authority as representative of God’s will on earth. This is how both rulers and priests fooled masses in their own ways by complementing each other. All because masses were kept from learning and becoming clever to be able to think for themselves. The downside to that idea was rivalry from the outside ie there were always rivals who raised similar claims so they ended up fighting each other and only those people won who were better equipped and prepared for such battles. So rulers and priests who kept their own people more ignorant and turned them more useless in the end always lost against those who were clever and therefore better prepared for battles to win over their enemies. This is what kept human world moving forward bit by bit because more ignorant and foolish people always ended up losers to less ignorant and less foolish. Rulers kept their own people ignorant because they thought it dangerous to educate their own people in case they dethroned them when they become educated due to their own atrocities against them or their use and abuse. This is why no people can keep their own people foolish and win for long. The day of reckoning arrives sooner or later for all the rulers in the world who use and abuse their own people at will. It is because if one does not rise to challenge from within a people then there is always one who rises to challenge from outside one’s jurisdiction. All because people mistreat each other for their petty personal gains instead of learning to live as a brotherhood or a family that is very good at taking care of each other. All these fights and wars will only end when mankind become educated enough to realise what is wrong with the way they live their lives and put it right. Till then the human world will continue going the way it always has been unless people take revolutionary action to educate themselves and each other to stop this cycle of death and destruction for themselves. Therefore stories of the messengers of Allah are of great importance for people to learn from and do things which they did for the very same reasons. This is why humanity has no way to get out of its troubles unless it adopts deen of Islam by learning the message of Allah as it should. All this requires very hard work by each and every individual because reforming a human society is not one man job. Since masses are lazy and crazy therefore reformation work is very, very slow. The stories of the prophets in the Quran are not for telling us exact human history because that humanity already knows or can know by discovering things for itself but for the lessons for mankind in the historical events. So it is more about philosophy of history than actual history ie what the history is about. It is clear from the Quranic text that sole rightful ruler of this universe is Allah alone so when people take on other rulers they do so to mislead masses and they mislead masses in order to open ways for using and abusing them by way of their tricks and mechanisms as already explained in detail. 53] They replied, we found our forefathers living by these traditions and customs. When a people know no better they stick to whatever way of life they have found for themselves till that way of life is challenged from within or from the outside. The challenge only comes when things get stuck and more and more people end up in terribly painful suffering that something must be done to change things. This is how bloody revolutions begin and develop and take over a people and things change for a while till same thing happens all over again and again. All because all people have needs and they must be fulfilled or things will not work out between people due to tensions that come into play when one group of a people tries to use and abuse the other beyond the tipping point. 54] He said, obviously that is why both you and your forefathers have been living by a harmful and destructive way of life based upon foundation of personal gains at the expense of each other that has led you far away from a way of life that is proper because it leads to blissful, dignified and secure life. It should always be kept in mind that divine messengers do not talk only about idols etc but forces with vested interests behind them ie political, economic and religious leaderships. It is these people who are turned into idols in the eyes of masses to pave the way for them for using and abusing the masses. When masses are told the king is king because God has appointed him because in eyes of God he deserves to be a king then masses do not dare go against that king and king tells masses that priest is true man of God and so on and so forth. This is how these people back each other up and fool the masses. Caste and class etc systems could only survive by making fool of masses in the name of God. If rich is rich because God found him deserving riches and poor is poor because God found him deserving poverty and then each is told to accept will of God then one can see where such make beliefs will lead mankind. The Quran condemns all such make beliefs and tells masses to use their own brains and senses to educate themselves to see how they are being fooled in the name of God when God has provided all things for all the mankind not just selected few. This is why the Quran explains all these things in all necessary details so that people cannot fool each other once they come to know facts for themselves. So verses like these do not talk about idols because they mean nothing at all to anyone who has any little sense. The leaders who fool masses are called idols because they set themselves up like idols ie in positions of power whereof they cannot be moved just like heavy rocks. This is why the Quran uses word JABAL and SAMAA for them as well. The other reason for calling them idols is because they set up a way of life for the masses under their sway which traps them in the track because of which humanity cannot have unity for peace or make progress and prosper. The yet other reason for calling people in positions of leadership idol is personality cult ie people giving certain people such importance that they do not treat them like human beings any more instead they take them as Gods or at least as supernatural beings or special humans with supernatural powers etc etc. Even the so called idols are named after persons whom people took for Gods ie rulers instead of Allah. The Quran wants mankind to keep all things in their proper place and that is called justice or ADL and taking anything out of its proper place or context is called injustice or ZULM. Word HUSAN is used to indicate beauty because all things look beautiful when set up in their proper places in a setting. When things are all muddled up and in chaos they look terrible so order has balance therefore beauty and is called proper or just anything other than that is disorder and chaos and troublesome hence ugly and painful and unjust or improper. 55] They said, have you brought us the truth or are you one of those who talk nonsense? 56] He replied, no I am not of those who talk nonsense the fact is I have received the revelation of Allah that your Creator and Sustainer is the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. He brought them about out of nothing and I am of those who bear witness to this fact on basis of revelation from Allah. This verse tells us how Abraham is trying to make his people think things through thoroughly. He is telling them that none has right to sovereignty in this universe other than Allah and that is because he has created everything ie including all materials which people use to show their own creativity and skills including making their idols. He claims to know things about Allah due to receiving his message and having sense to make sense of it so much so that he is now able to guide others towards way of Allah. A messenger of Allah is born like any other human being and goes through all needed life experiences just like other people but he rises above the rest by far. This is why Allah chose such people to send his message to them because others could not have understood the message themselves due to not being bothered with learning from life experiences as much as it was needed for this purpose. This fact is shown through mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters as well as the ignorant public at large. 57] Due to having guidance from Allah and its proper understanding, I certainly have an action plan to take care of tricks and mechanism of people whom you give control over yourselves and idolise as your priests and rulers after your moving away from thinking things through thoroughly. Word SANAM is from root SWAAD, NOON and MEEM. Already explained but it also means person whom people take for a ruler or an idol ie the idols of personality cultists. It also means beloved or lover, priest who is followed blindly by his followers, dogmatic creed that stops people from development and progress due to damaging make beliefs, something that forces conformation on people to stop them from differing in any way at all. Plant or something like a plant in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, anything that leads people away from the way of life advised by Allah, such rules and regulations or laws that are in opposition to rule of law of Allah, people whom masses hold in high regard as if they are Gods etc etc. Here Abraham is telling his people he has an action plan worked out as to how to tackle tricks and mechanism of rulers and priests to destroy their way of life based upon them in the hope that people will turn to the way of life he has to offer them on the basis of revelation of Allah in light of real world realities. 58] So he shattered them all into pieces except the most high of them all, so that finally they could refer to him. Word JUZAAZAA is from root JEEM, ZAAL and ZAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is part of a something whole. Also to take apart, shatter, break, separate, disconnect, to sever or cut off, to break off, to hinder, to destroy something in some sense, to get rid of, to do away with something, to finish off something in some sense, fragments, breakage, shreds, chippings, interruption, discontinuation, pieces, wreckage, camel or something like a camel in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, to ask or urge people to follow something or someone for some reason etc etc. Here Allah seems to be talking about debates Abraham held with priests in their main temples whereby he destroyed their reputations one by one and left them all speechless before their congregations save the most high priest of theirs whom they held in highest regards. 59] So as the news of defeat of priests of lower ranks spread some unaware people started asking others who has done this to our idolised or such honoured personalities, He must be a very harmful and destructive person! 60] Others replied, we heard a youth called Abraham entering in debates with them. 61] They said, send to him an invitation to appear before the masses so that they could see what he does and how he does it. 62] When Abraham appeared before masses the masses asked him, O Abraham, are you the one who has done this to our idols=greatly honoured religious personalities? It must be noted that all messengers of Allah had to argue their case against rulers but rulers always put forth their palace priests to try to put up with the messengers of Allah but the priests failed their rulers badly and ultimately the message of God got through regardless how hard they tried to stop it from getting through to masses. 63] He replied, no it was not my intention to disgrace them by ripping apart their reputation rather that chief priest of theirs put them up to it so ask them if they can explain truthfully the whole thing in a logically consistently way as to what actually has happened? Here Abraham is replying to masses that if your priests are of that great reputation for you then why not ask them as to who put them up to what has happened? It is always the case that whenever any person speaks up against his social set-up due to problems in a society, rulers and priests confront him to stop him from speaking up against what rulers and priests or money lenders are up to. Same happened here ie when Abraham saw people suffering he tried to find out what is happening and as he found out and started seeing role of rulers and priests in that they started to confront him trying to reason with him but he defeated all their reasoning by his own way of reasoning things. This began exposing weaknesses of rulers and priests so gradually things reached to top level of leadership. So a debate is arranged between Abraham and top palace priests by masses and their leading people. Abraham was accused of giving trouble to their religious leadership but he argued that that was not the case instead it were priests who were giving trouble to Abraham and other people in their society. So leading people in masses turned towards their masses and said to them, you the people have done the wrong ie you have falsely accused Abraham of starting the trouble. 64] Thereupon the leading people among masses turned towards their own people and said to them, surely you the people have done the wrong by accusing Abraham for all this. 65] Despite being convinced that Abraham was done wrong by the priests they turned round and said, you know full well that they cannot speak against the decisions taken by the high priest. Word NUKISOO is from root NOON, KAAF and SEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is to turn something upside down. Also to turn something on its head, to turn down something, to reverse a decision, to go back to the original thing or idea after changing one’s mind about it, to go back on something, to reverse or go backwards, to regress, to be weak, to relapse, to degenerate, to lose composure or original state, to revert or come back to the original position or place, to take the opposite view of something, to change one’s mind to an opposite idea, to turn round on one’s feet, about turn, to hang one’s head down in shame, to accept defeat, be humbled, to fall on one’s head instead of landing on one’s feet, a horse that lags behind others horses during a race, a horse that walk with its head down due to some weakness, something that suffers from some defect or fault, to change one’s mind about something but then come back to the same view about the same thing, to bend something downwards, to show reluctance or hesitation or resistance, to impede or be a drag, fish or ink or something like a fish or ink in some sense, palm of hand or something lie a palm of hand, something soft or tender, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, custom, law etc etc. 66] At this Abraham said to them, why do you then take such people as your idols holding them in high regards instead of Allah who can neither benefit you because they do not have the necessary knowledge nor destroy you because they do not have the necessary power? If rulers, money lenders and mullahs had learned all the necessary knowledge then they could never even think of using and abuse others because people never do wrong wilfully and knowingly. It is because people are born ignorant and do not learn what they are supposed to learn that they end up making wrong decision in life due to their ignorance whereby they harm others or even destroy them. Likewise none in the world has the power to bring upon humanity any kind of destruction against the will or plan of Allah because he planned the world and set up everything to suit his purpose. So individuals do whatever they do be it good or bad with help of each other. The power rest with Allah alone but he has given ability of choice to mankind as well within his scheme of things but mankind can never cross the set limits of Allah in the universe. This is why people should learn things about creation as well as revelation of Allah so that they could know how to live properly in this world. It is never Allah who punishes people for their wrong doing to each other but they bring it upon themselves. All Allah does is explains to people what will be the result if they did one thing instead of the other therefore warns people against inflicting harms and destructions upon each other because the end result of that will be destruction. Likewise he gives good news of brilliant future to those who will adopt his advised way of life instead of living as they wish in order to fulfil their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires, such as seeking dominance over each other by trying to undermine each other instead of working for bringing about a proper human community and the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah so that people could have blissful, dignified and secure existence. 67] Shame on you and on those who let you take them as your rulers other than Allah, Have you no brains and senses to make proper use of them in order to make proper sense of things? 68] Upon these sayings of Abraham they said to each other, put him through torture if you must take any action to protect honour of your highly regarded personalities. Word HARRIQOOH is from root HAA, RAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to rub a piece of iron with a file. Also to cause friction or trouble or rage or tension, to ignite or create fire, to cause fight or war due to fire of hatred, to try and burn someone by putting one in the fire, to make someone become angry in order to make him fight or cause a war, to bring on death and destruction due to fire of hatred, to burn or destroy, to torture, to scorch, to eradicate or eliminate or annihilate, to erode, to file away, to be bad tempered or revengeful, to abrade, to wear down by running, to scrape away, to run away into powder, to burn in someone’s love, to long for, to have burning desire for, palm tree pollen, to burn away, to inflict harm or destruction, to spread hatred against someone in order to destroy one’s reputation or person or property, fire, flame, fence or something like a fence in some sense, limit, restriction, head or something like a head in some sense, authority, management, ruling elite, top section of a community, top part of something, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, clever, tricky, agile, mischievous, trouble maker etc etc. 69] But when some of them decided to put him through torture We let others cool them down that is how We changed the atmosphere of hatred and rage into a peaceful environment through Abraham. Word BARDAA is from root BAA, RAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is state of rest. Also coolness or coldness, refreshing, to cool down, to calm down, to abate, to alleviate, to die, to make an agitated person calm down, to put one to sleep, cold water, hailstones, sleet, blissful or happy life, something disturbing that becomes settled down, to be in state of peace, something soothing or beneficial or useful, house or something like a house in some sense, shelter, protection, family, household, tent, head or something like a head in some sense, chief, manager, door or something like a door in some sense, controlled entry or exist, way through, ways and means etc etc. 70] They sought to carry out their plot against him but We made them abandon their plot. 71] That is how We saved him and Lot by directing them to the foundation We had blessed for people of all the nations. The solid foundation for all people to stand upon is revelation of God that must be understood in light of real world realities. Once people will do that then they will never go astray because facts are facts and they all tie together only the proper way to be logically consistent and tying them any other way will show them in direct conflict or logically inconsistent. 72] We gave him Isaac and then Jacob also and We turned each of them into people who removed rifts from among people as well as other obstacles in the way of unity, peace, progress and prosperity of a proper human community. 73] We made them leaders who guided other people with help of Our revealed guidance as a mission because We sent them revelations to do things that help humanity progress and prosper through establishing a proper human community network in a kingdom thereby a proper economic system and that is why they remained committed to Our program, constitution and law constantly and consistently, In the story of Abraham we are told how messengers of Allah grow up to be proper human beings through learning and doing things despite being born in communities that have little or no knowledge as to how to live properly as proper human communities. These people question things even though people in their communities may not like that. There is no human community on the face of the earth wherein such people are not born at all who think and do things that keep them in existence, however number of such people keeps decreasing with time if people do not pay attention to learning and doing things and in that case such communities end up destroyed over a period of time. 74] likewise to Lot We gave sense of managing a kingdom based upon Our guidance due to learning knowledge and that is why We delivered him from the people of a kingdom who lived by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other inflicting harms and destructions upon each other against Our guidance, surely its inhabitants were a people given to a way of life based upon divisions through rivalries and animosities for personal gains at the expense of each other 75] that is how We admitted him to life based upon Our blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program because he was of those who removed rifts from among people and did works that helped people progress and prosper by way of actualising their potentialities as a proper human community. 76] Even before all of them Noah relied upon Our set-up systems and laws, We helped him succeed in his mission and that is how We helped him and his people survive and prosper in the face of grave hardship that needed very hard work by them according to Our program. It is very wrong idea to think that people of God are those who just believe in God and then pray and all is done for them by God. The Quran is not that sort of book at all instead it is book that teaches mankind self reliance on basis of guidance of Allah ie people are told the way to live but it is left up to people to follow the way. The way is simple, do all that is needed to be done to fulfil your needs properly as a proper human community and then concentrate on higher goals. 77] We helped him against those chiefs and priests who opposed Our program with goals and guidelines for them because they denied masses rights to Our provisions for them, surely they were a harmful and destructive people so We let them drown together in their own atrocities against each other. 78] Similarly We helped David and Solomon to succeed in their respective missions when they were trying to bring about proper human community based kingdoms in the land to be ruled according to Our guidance, that was the time when they applied extensively Our rule of law whereby they took charge of leadership of scattered population of a people to turn them into a proper human community through proper management of resources and that is how We kept Our eye on their managements of people and resources. Word NAFASHAT is from root NOON, FAA and SHEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is to spread. Also to expand or extend or progress or prosper or grow, greenery, spring season, of sheep or goats to disperse, to be a group of scattered people or animals or things, to spread or scatter here and there, wool, to tease out, to ruffle the feathers, to bristle up, to swell, to scatter over a large area, to disperse, to stray, rarefied, carded, tufted, to stray into a piece of land for grazing, to go about looking for something for some reason, to go after something lost looking for it here and there, fish or ink or something like fish or ink in some sense, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, something slippery, something lively, a gap, something at a remote distance from something, difference between two things or points or ideas, tradition or custom, something stable or firmly founded but growing like a tree etc etc. 79] Upon Solomon, We bestowed ability of understanding all these things quite early in his life but to each of them We granted kingdoms through learning knowledge and that is how We made the influential people among populations in his community cooperate with David to strive hard for making Our glory manifest through rising high as a proper human community like a community of soaring birds. It were We Who made all this happen for ensuring the well being of mankind through Our blissful, dignifying and life securing program. 80] We taught the proper human community how to manage people and resources properly to cover all vulnerabilities to shelter its people from all problems that may face you the proper human community, so will you the mankind therefore use Our provisions appropriately? In these verses Allah is telling people how to set-up themselves as a properly organised and regulated community for unity, peace, progress and prosperity if that is what they want otherwise people can carry on doing as they like and keep suffer the painful consequences for as long as they wish. Nonetheless the Quran tells elsewhere that time will come when all people will adopt the way of life advised by Allah. It means time will come when people will have learned enough sense through interaction with each other that they cannot continue living on basis of rivalries and animosities being divided and in wars with each other all the time. That is how they will end up turning to the way of life that could bring them blissful, dignified and secure existence. The Quran is not talking about Allah providing people with weapons for wars with each other but tools that can prove instrumental for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity. If despite this guidance people decide to fight with each other senselessly for domination over each other trying to undermine each other it is up to them but those who will do that will ultimately become humiliated by hand of those who stand for proper mission of Allah faithfully. So provisions of Allah should be used for peace not wars by people. 81] Because this is how We made the social, political and economic atmosphere satisfying for Solomon and his community because things progressed according to his plan towards Our provided social, political and economic foundation upon which We placed blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind and this is how We make obvious to mankind that We are aware of everything in the universe. Word REEH is from root RAA, WOW and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is wind. Also environment or atmosphere or state of existence, the way things are or the direction in which they were in the past as compared to present or the direction in which they are moving for future, wind of change, trend, good news or bad news, power, heat, good relationship, satisfaction or dissatisfaction, awareness and knowledge, revelation, motivation, smell, scent, fragrant shrubs, courage, awe, fear, air, great heard of animals, to pasture, grazing place, food for thought, to depart, to walk away, to commence travelling, might, victory, mercy, bounty, pleasure, children, to interchange, to do something intermittently, to fan, to stroke, to hype up, to encourage, to put up to do something, to go back, to inspire, authority, foundation or base, strength, to drive animals home at the end of the day or in the evening, the return trip, the evening trip, grace, kindness, immortality, ease of living, prosperity, plentiful, abundance, head or something like a head in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense, to sniff, to decay, to smell rotten, soul, spirit, joy, happiness, breath, life, tranquillity, the jinn, the angel, the evening, to go home, to return after a days work or toil, to bring livestock home, to rest, etc etc. Word AASIFAH is from root AIN, SWAAD and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is the movement of something in some way for some purpose. Also storm or to storm, blowing of wind, violent or satisfying movement of air, chaff, straw, dried herbage, ears of corn, top ripen, to fulfil the need or purpose, to blow or blow away, to solve problem or remove hardship or difficulty or trouble, dry leaves, dry blades, strong winds, falling leaves of the trees or plants or shrubs, the chewed grass, a field from which crops have been destroyed or cut off, hair, a field full of crop eaten or totally damaged by pests and insects or locust etc, something that happens quickly or fast as compared to usual, winds that can bring change in the existing state of things by disturbing state of things in which they already are, eye or something like an eye in some sense, water spring, help or support, guardian or watchman or guard, plant or something like a plant in some sense, something that grows or spreads or scatters or distributes something, to publicise, to make public or make a public announcement of something, to draw attention of people at large or masses, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, gap, remote, disconnected, discontinuity, to consume or make use of etc etc. 82] This is how We turned helpful for him many of the leading opponents of Our guidance who were experts in various fields of knowledge because they dived due to him into the sea of knowledge from Us and that is how they ended up performing various tasks along with him because We kept Our eye over them through Our set-up systems and laws. Word SHAYAATEEN is plural of word SHAITAAN from roots SHEEN, TWAA and NOON or SHEEN, YAA and TWAA and SHEEN, TWAA and TWAA. Already explained but it also means something that covers something in some way for some purpose. Also satan, fastening tightly, being exceedingly proud, arrogant, someone seeking dominance or influence over others in some way, expert, skilled, master of manipulation, corrupt, insolent, rebellious, adversary, opponent, influential, burning, scorching, rage etc etc. Word YAGHOOSOON is from root GHAIN, WOW and SWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is something that goes into depth of something in some way for some reason. Other meanings are dive, to dive in sea of water or knowledge, to dive from sky or a height, to plunge, to jump into something, to take part into something, eye or something like an eye in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, tree or plant or something like a tree or plant in some sense etc etc. 83] Likewise We attended to Job when he called upon his Creator and Sustainer saying, my people have fallen into spiral of inflicting harm and destruction upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other and only You can provide them with solutions of their biological, psychological and sociological problems. 84] So We fulfilled his wish by showing him the proper way of life to live by to remove thereby his peoples’ problems that faced him that is how We brought about supporters for him and brought about likes of them along with them due to blissful, dignifying and secure life providing program from Us for spreading it among Our human creatures so that those who wish could abide by it as a proper human community. Word KASHAF is from root KAAF, SHEEN and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to lift the curtain. Also to expose something, to make something visible or obvious, to make someone understand something, to become aware of something, to discover something, to remove or destroy something, to erase, to rub out, to make something go away, to solve a difficulty or problem, the war when it is at its peak, the hardship at its worst, a terribly difficult period of time for a people that could destroy them if nothing is done to try to avert the danger or situation, palm of hand or something like a palm of hand in some sense, something visible like a palm of hand, something soft like palm of hand, cushion, tender, softly softly approach to some situation, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, gap, difference, division etc etc. 85] Same We did with Ishmael, Idris and Zulkifl all of them proved constantly consistent with Our program for the well being of mankind. 86] The reason We admitted them all to blissful, dignified and secure existence was because they were of those who worked very hard for removing rifts and obstacles in their way of development and prosperity as proper human communities. As should be absolutely clear by now, deen of Islam is not a baseless dogmatic belief system with some useless rituals for people who assume they have been created to depend upon God for all their needs. God only provides guidance and rest is up to people that is why he created them as dependent upon each other for their survival. What other proof can be their for people to accept this fact other than the fact they have parents and relatives both in sense of parental connection as well as marriage based relationships. If people are already a brotherhood due to being human beings and God is also telling them to be a human brotherhood then what is wrong with that? God is telling people to have good relationships with each so that needs of each and every person could be fulfilled through help and support of all other people as a proper human community network. Individuals can never accomplish the ultimate task God has set for humanity so people have no choice but to work together in order to fulfil their own needs as well as be in good books of their creator and sustainer. There is no sense in being religious or anti deen of Islam for people, the sooner the people learn sense to work together the better the world will start becoming. 87] And similar was the case of Zun-noon that at the time he went through a lot of pain due to adopting of his people the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other which led many of them to terrible painful suffering and he thought We may not do anything to redress his concern about them so he called on Us in his severe distress saying, there is no rightful ruler of this world other than You who takes care of all things without fail, yet I am stuck among people who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for petty personal gains at the expense of each other. Words ZANNOON is constructed from two words just like ZULQARNAIN. Word ZAA has been explained already ie the thing or person qualified with certain property, quality or attribute and word NOON is from root NOON, WOW and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is something that has the property or skill that helps it move through something smoothly for some purpose without being noticed. Other meanings of this root are fish, inkpot, a proper word, wisdom, inkpot or fish or something like fish or inkpot in some sense, fishy, whale, boat or ship, suspicious, smooth actor, lively, hook or something like a hook in some sense, crooked or bent or twisted, something that can carry weight or responsibility, something upon which something can be hanged etc etc. So words ZANNOON will seem to mean the person who has become wise enough that he can negotiate through life properly. There are certain names mentioned in the Quran about which there is no other detail given. The purpose was to tell mankind that Allah sent many prophets to mankind and many books and people do not need to know each and every one of them in detail because all served the same purpose in a similar way as told about in detail about others. There are plenty of details given in other books about these people and there is nothing wrong with accepting that detail so long as it fits the framework given in the Quran. The main thing is that had God mentioned all prophets and their details in the Quran, it could have become a joint library and that would not have served much purpose either. In fact that would have been over burdening of humanity with unnecessary information. Moreover most of the information would have been just repetitions of the same kind of stories only names of people and places would have been different as is obvious from the existing text of the Quran because the stories already told in the Quran about prophets are not very different in essence from each other. It is due to the fact that all messengers of Allah were chosen to do the very same thing to serve very same purpose. 88] So We fulfilled his wish and delivered his people from the painful suffering through Our advised way of life and their faithful following of it because that is how We save a people from inflicting painful suffering upon each other who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity as a proper human community. These verses should leave one in no doubt as to how Allah helps and supports mankind ie through guidance alone and only if people understand his guidance properly and follow it faithfully. There is no supernatural direct involvement of God in order to save anyone. People are told how the world works and they are told to observes things carefully and learn sense of things and then find ways of doing things in order to solve facing problems. A clear proof that the Quran is not a religious holy book for pooja paat but instead it is a book that tells people what they need to do to get what they want. The real world is based upon cause and effect idea so there are no such things as coincidences or miracles ie whatever happens in this world it has a cause regardless we humans have been able to discovered it or not. 89] Likewise was the case of Zakariya regarding his people when he called on his Creator and Sustainer saying, my Creator and Sustainer let not my people become isolated from each other as individuals after me because Your program is full of helpful suggestions to help mankind inherit the world as a proper human community. 90] So We fulfilled his wish and granted him Yahyah as a successor and through him We mended and maintained his community network for him. They became such a people who were ever ready to take part in all sorts of works that helped them develop and prosper as a proper human community because they relied upon Our program due to being attracted to it due to being humbled by its loftiness so they were always mindful of Our guidance no matter whatever they did. 91] It was such a community that took care of all its vulnerabilities because We revealed to it Our program whereby We turned it and its leadership as an example for the populations or nations of the world. These verses explain it very clearly for people that the best way forward for humanity is to organise and regulate itself as a proper human community network along the revealed guidelines for the goals set for it by Allah with a helpful program to accomplish them. The worst thing mankind can do is follow baseless dogmas and useless rituals in the name of God because in that case nothing can stop them from divisions, rivalries, animosities, hatred and wars between themselves. It is because without concrete solid foundation unity between people is not possible and if people are not united then peace between them is not possible so progress and prosperity cannot be attained and maintained by people at the speed it should be attained and maintained. So living by idea of God in a wrong way is very dangerous for mankind even worse than having no idea of God. It is because animal kingdom is living a better life without having sense of God as compared to life of people living on basis of baseless dogmatic creeds and useless rituals. This is why religions are much more dangerous ideas for humanity to live by than atheistic ideologies. At least then nothing holds people back from competing with each other with full force they can manage against each other and all know that if they do not stay strong then their end is near. This puts real pressure on people to remain alert at all times about each other rather than leave everything to God and go to sleep for centuries and therefore end up destroyed by doing so. If people must live by ideology from God then they cannot afford to be stupid or lazy and crazy because then death and destruction is a foregone conclusion. The sole purpose of following guidance of Allah is to be on top of things by being well prepared for all eventualities well in advance as explained already in detail. Believing in God should not make people take things easy instead they are supposed to fulfil program of God for them. This is how stupidity of mullah should becomes very much obvious for people if they learned a little bit sense as to where they are leading them ie to life full of bliss, dignity and security or to life full of poverty, disease and misery. Deen of Allah and its proper following is all about unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and anything other than that is bad news for future of humanity but choice rests with people themselves as to how they wish to live. 92] All this information clearly shows that it is verifiably true that this brotherhood of yours the human kind is a single brotherhood and I am your Creator and sustainer therefore abide only and only by My rule of law Alone if you want to live a blissful, dignified and secure life as a proper human community network. 93] However despite My clear advice mankind have harmed and destroyed their brotherhood by choosing way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other but they will have to return to My advised way of life for its reestablishment and maintenance if they wish to live trouble-free and reasonably happy lives. 94] Therefore any human population that works towards removing rifts from among mankind to mend human relationships because it decides to commits itself to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind its endeavour will not be allowed to go to waste because that is what We have set-up Our systems and laws for in Our kingdom of the universe. 95] Nonetheless We strictly leave people of a kingdom to their own chosen way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby they inflict harms and destructions upon each other so We let them end up destroyed because they do not turn to Our guidance 96] until they become so weak a people whereupon they are taken over by a brutal lawless people who are given to loot and plunder who swiftly swarm from every hill upon them. Word HADAB is from root HAA, DAAL and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is hump. Also hill, dune, highland, raised ground, pile of rubble, a rock protruding from the ground, a rocky hill, something standing tall like a hill, a landmark, a monument, to be hunchback, high wave, hardship, difficult situation, to dot on, to take care of, to care, to have concern for, high rocky land, fence or something like a fence in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense, something that rises and falls, dome, canopy etc etc. In these verses the Quran is telling people that it is entirely up to themselves whether they understand properly and follow faithfully the guidance from Allah or do as they like but should they do as they like instead of following the way of life advised by Allah then consequences could be that people could turn religious and secure and should they turn religious and secular then their situation could one of the two, a)more and more people could turn more and more religious or b)more and more people could turn more and more secular. If more and more people turn more and more religious then their life as a population will become more and more restricted according to baseless dogmas and useless rituals and if more and more people will turn more and more secular then their life as a population will become restricted by living for themselves so whoever fails to compete in real world will only live to regret his life. It is because all people are not equal by birth so a lot of people will become failures and rejects in such societies therefore life will not be free of anxiety and sorrow for most of the population of the world. Both these will bring on situations which will frustrate a huge majority of people in the world and so hatred and wars will become order of the world unless some other way is found to cope with this situation in order to release the pressure. This situation can never arise if people could become learned and live by deen of Islam because it keeps people under constant but easily manageable pressure due to caring and sharing of people who work as a proper human community for ensuring well being of each other out of sense of duty from God towards each other. The best possible way of life has its own very demanding program because it does not tolerate ignorance, illiteracy and lack of education, training or skills so that people become a thinking and doing community to the best of their abilities. It seems a very hard work to begin with but once the ball starts rolling then people will get used to it so it will no longer feel that hard after a while. 97] That is how the establishment of Our promised proper kingdom draws near but when it becomes a reality the eyes of chief and their supporters who oppose Our rule of law will be caught staring in surprise saying, our future is in trouble now because we are caught unaware by success of this movement and that is because we were busy inflicting harms and destructions upon each other. Word SHAAKHISAH is from root SHEEN, KHAA and SWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is the whole material or physical structure of an organism especially of a human or an animal. Also trunk or torso of a human or an animal, a group of individuals regarded as an entity, an organisation or society, a number of persons or concepts or things regarded as a group, corpus, a mass of matter that is distinct from other masses, a collection or quantity of information or material, personality or person, to give shape or form to an idea to make it a reality, a tall body visible from a far distance, swollen wound, the hitting of arrow above the intended target, to be high, to stare at something with eyes wide open, to be taken by surprise, to be overwhelmed all of a sudden, to be caught in a situation unaware, to be in state of unbelief, to be shocked, to lose one’s senses, to be frightened into silence by some happening, prominently elevated entity, to materialise, eyes that become transfixed in case of terror, eyes that become fixedly open due to fright, staring in horror, glazed, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, custom, fence or something like a fence in some sense, limitation, restriction, plant or tree or something like a plant or tree in some sense, to be fixed in a place but grow or spread widely etc etc. As already explained once a huge majority of people decide to live either by religion or secularism then each of it leads to a particular end ie when secularism fully takes over people then rejects of that system either end up committing suicide or join religions and so religions become big force and agitations begin against materialism in the name of spiritualism. Likewise when religion fully take over people then it also produces lot of rejects because not everyone can compete with others religiously to be on the top so rejects either end up destroyed through committing suicides or start agitation against religions and promote secularism so a sea-saw effect takes place and this is why people keep running to rulers or mullahs but both make full use of them by abusing them and that is when deen of Islam becomes important because it can accept all good and bad as well as ugly. It shows them how to put up with each other like a good family so it produces no rejects and keeps constant pressure on constantly for improvements in the proper human community all the time to keep it moving with time in a planned and skilful way. This explanation also explains who the YAA JOOJ WA MAA JOOJ people are ie greedy and selfish people who will do anything to others to get what they want. They have no respect for God or humanity. This is why people should be well prepared to fight off such people at all times or they will take over them and use and abuse them to their utmost desire. This is why no way of life can give people blissful, dignified and secure existence other than the way of life advised by Allah so people will be doing a lot of good for themselves by studying deen of Islam properly and adopting it faithfully as their way of life as a proper human community thus they should bring about the kingdom based on guidance of Allah. 98] That is how you and your rulers that you take for yourselves other than Allah end up in hell of your own making wherein you remain unless you turn to Our program. Word HASAB is from root HAA, SWAAD and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is used to fuel the fire. Also firewood, pebbles or stones, such violent wind that uplifts rubble or debris, hot and fierce wind that blows as a result of a volcanic eruption or explosion, hot wind that causes sound of a thunder or rumbling after lightening strikes from the clouds, hot air that can burn things in its path, to pelt with stones or pebbles, gravel carrying wind, hail showering clouds, measles, fuel or to fuel, to torment, stormy wind, fence or something like fence in some sense, plant or something like a plant in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense, shelter, sanctuary, basis or foundation, family, household, constitution, something that spreads or scatters etc etc. 99] If those rulers had the power as you assume them to have then they could not have ended up in there but they will all end up and remain in there for as long as they live unless they stop living that way and turn to Our program for them. 100] For them in there will be sobbing and sighing full of regrets because they ended up in that situation by not heeding Our advice. Word ZAFEER is from root ZAA, FAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to sob. Also to breathe with great difficulty, to be miserable, to gasp, to have serious difficulty in breathing in, to sound the fire makes when burning fiercely, to regret, to sigh, catastrophe, disaster, burden on one’s back, to carry heavy load, onset of a donkey’s bray, to groan, to exhale, to pant, wailing or crying or roaring or sighing or exhaling, tool or weapon or instrument or something like a toot or a weapon or an instrument in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, gap, remote, distance between two points, head or something like a head in some sense, ruling elite, top part or section of something, chief, manager etc etc. 101] Surely those who will compete with each other for ensuring well being of each other for them there is a promise of beautiful outcome from Us for their supportive and helpful thoughts and actions for each other therefore they will be kept far away from the state of existence wherein there is crying and wailing due to regrets because of painful suffering for those who create that state of existence for themselves. 102] Not a sound full of regrets and sighs they will hear in that state of existence instead they will be in state of existence they will have desired for themselves by working for it according to Our guidance. 103] Even the time of great worry about future for opponents of Our rule of law will not worry them because on the contrary to what goes on in the world of opponents of Our rule of law they will be inspired by the management of Our kingdom saying, this is your time in which you were promised to live a blissful, dignified and secure life as a proper human community. Word YAHZUN is from root HAA, ZAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is a difficult path to walk on. Also rocky hard going terrain, troublesome or difficult life, hardship, depression, anxiety, worry, sadness, roughness, not civilised, uncultivated, raw material, responsibility, burden, load, something weighty, boulders, rocks, distress, affliction, grief, to cause unrest, agitation, to be restless, to be full of sorrow, fence or something like a fence, limitation or restriction, tool or weapon or instrument or something like a tool or a weapon or an instrument in some sense, something instrumental in some sense, fish or inkpot or something like a fish or an inkpot in some sense, to worry about daily bread, to worry about fulfilment of daily needs etc etc. Word FAZA is from root FAA, ZAA and AIN.

This will have serious affect on nonMuslim world in two ways. That is it will become responsive to message of Allah because there will be no way out for it from its crisis and also because the Muslim world will be willing to help by taking them in as their part. This is how deen of Allah will ultimately prevail over all other ways of life in reality. 104] At that time We will wind up the ruling elite like rolling up of a scroll of writings, and We will turn things the way they were when We set-up the kingdom the very first time again, that is a promise by Us, and We will for sure fulfil it. 105] We wrote this in the Zaboor after the Torah that as for the world, it will be inherited by people who will abide by My program, constitution and law removing rifts from between mankind and all other obstacle in the way of their development and prosperity. 106] Surely in this news is a great message for a people who will abide by Our program, constitution and law. 107] So We have not sent you O Muhammad but as a missionary for promoting Our of blissful, dignifying and life securing program for all the nations in the world. 108] Therefore say to them, O mankind, it has been revealed to me that your sovereign is the only sovereign of this universe so will you then accept living by way of life advised by Him that can lead mankind to unity, peace, progress and prosperity? 109] If they turn away from this message then tell them, I have alerted you all alike about the message of Allah without any bias or discrimination, however I have no idea the time of the bloody revolution or the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah you are promised is near or far because it all depends upon yourselves whether you adopt one way of life or the other and how soon or how late and how hard you work for it. This verse explained what is meant by AAZAAN ie call or invitation to SALAAH=establishment of a proper human community network. Mullahs tell us, it is a call to prayer because to them SALAAH means daily prayer. This is how they have misinterpreted the message of the Quran and that is why ummah is suffering for last so many centuries. All because mullahs think Allah has created humanity for his own pooja paat. Again due to misinterpretation of word IBAADAH which in the Quranic context means be consistent with purpose of Allah which he has explained in detail as already explained. 110] It is He alone Whose set-up systems and laws make your motives obvious through your own actions for or against each other for all to see, that is how He makes obvious your hidden potentialities through their actualisation by yourselves. 111] So I know not if you will have to struggle for a very long time to establish the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah or not but therein lies your blissful, dignified and secure existence for a set period of time. 112] Therefore each of Our messengers did declare this, my creator and sustainer is Master of the universe whose advised way of life must be sought and adopted against the way of life mankind falsely attribute to Him. In these verses it is made absolutely clear what was the purpose of God for sending his messengers to people with his messages. They told mankind your God is only one and that he has advised a way of life for mankind to adopt so they should do so for ensuring their own well being and the result will show that they have made the right choice if they adopted what they were told through its proper understanding and its faithful following. |
