Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 29 AL-ANKABOOT–The elite that spins the strings and nits the nets with them and casts the nets widely to entrap masses to use and abuse them for its own ends and the way people can get out of its traps
This surah is named AN-KABOOT from root AIN, NOON, KAAF and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that knits a net and casts it widely to trap something in some way for some reason . Also spider because it knits a trap and sets it up for catching its prey. to twist something in such a way that it takes on a different shape or form than its actual shape or form, to spin something into something else to serve some other purpose, to create a web or set up a trap, something that is like a spider in some sense or behaves like it in some way, something that spreads its influence or control through trapping things to use them for its survival, something that appears to be strong but in actual fact it is weak, to trap by weak tricks, parasite, parasitoid wasp, a piece of thread, a strand of wire, something that is used to tie or connect two things together in some sense for some purpose, worms that infest honeycombs, to be twisted almost into the shape of a ram’s horn, insect, worm, falsehood, eye or something like an eye in some sense, water spring, spring season, sadness that causes tears to flow from eyes, happiness that brightens up the eyes which causes wetness in the eyes to shine, to show liveliness, to be active, to keep an eye on something for some reason, to be suspicious of something, to take prisoner, to stand guard over something, to take care of something, to deal with someone, to destroy, to help or support, to aid or assist, to spy, fish or something like a fish in some sense, smooth, slippery, agile, illusive, active, deceptive, fast moving, palm of hand or something like a palm of hand in some sense, tender, soft, kind hearted, compassionate, cushion or cushioning effect , something shock absorbent, to have something in hand, house or something like a house in some sense, constitution, tradition, rule of law, shelter, sanctuary, cover, shield, protection, refuge, family, household, following or support, tribe or clan etc etc. This surah is named AL-AN-KABOOT not because word ankaboot is used in it but for the subject matter discussed in the surah. This surah is mainly about two groups of people a)those who wish to live on basis of divine guidance as a single brotherhood and b)those who wish to live as they please on basis of divide and rule for petty personal gains at the expense of proper human community. This surah exposes those who set up traps for mankind to divide them in the very name of God and then use and abuse them by keeping them ignorant and confused. The only way out of their set-up traps for masses is getting some education that helps them understand the origin of the world, the way it works and the purpose it serves so that they could understand the message of God properly by themselves. The main message of the Quran is; rulers, money lenders, mullahs and story tellers and those who suck up to them should not be trusted because they have been exploiting masses throughout human history. The other point made is that mankind should never wait for some miracle to happen to save them instead people themselves must work hard for their own well being as a community and always keep their eyes and ears open so that they are not fooled by anyone and that they themselves never try to fool anyone. If you do not want to be a slave of anyone then you must not try to be a master of anyone either. If you yourself want to be master of anyone then you lose the right not to be a slave of someone, it is simple as that. Do no harm to others if you do not want to become victim of harm by others. All this shows how mankind are connected together that they cannot escape mindset, attitude and behaviour of each other. This is why it is better to work for making this world a better place instead of working for making it a terrible place to be in. The main reason this surah is named ANKABOOT is because spider gradually spins thread and then quickly spins the web and thereby tries to increase its hold on anything that comes its way or falls in its trap. The idea used is very same by local, national and international companies and governments which over time became known as multinationals and international. Masses everywhere need to wake up and see how they are gradually sleep walking into traps set up for them by people who are in positions of power everywhere. The problem is not coming together of humanity but on the basis they are brought together. This is why people need to study the Quran the way it should be studied to see what it is actually trying to teach us. This surah begins with a question whether people are willing to put up a decent struggle for their right to blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community or not. This struggle involves learning things from each other and teaching things to each other and being ready for taking on those who oppose this way of life and will go to any length to stop it from becoming a reality in real the world. This happened always so people of today should not expect that having a blissful, dignified and secure community life will be any easier today. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] ALIF LAAM MEEM. 2] Do the people who declare their commitment to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind think that they will be left on their own to sit idle after their that declaration and that they will not be put through tough struggle to back up their that declaration in form of words with their actions? As is clear from the context of the Quran, Allah talks about two ways of life that people adopt for themselves and according to them their future is decided by set-up systems and laws of Allah. One way of life is advised by Allah for mankind to adopt but he stops them from adopting the other. All because his advised way of life can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure future through help and support of each other as a proper human community but the other can lead them to their own destruction by hands of each other because that way of life is based upon personal gains at the expense of each other which leads people to divisions, rivalries and animosities therefore hatred and wars among themselves. The Quran tells people who are aware of its presence that they should study it properly for its proper understanding and faithful following. However if they like its message then they must come together and organise and regulate themselves into a proper human community according to it so that through this brotherhood they could accomplish its stated goals for them according to its guidelines. The Quranic program requires full commitment from such people through their words as well as their actions otherwise the Quranic program, constitution and law cannot become an established reality therefore the Quranic promises cannot become fulfilled. In other words the Quran makes it absolutely clear that in this world Allah has created roles for all participants therefore just as Allah himself must play his role so should all other participants including mankind. A role assigned to any entity must be played by it or the result based upon it will not show up as a real world reality. For the way of life that is advised by Allah for mankind to become a reality people must think and do things that will fulfil the condition. This is why any people who want blissful, dignified and secure existence must work for it according to given plan of Allah because if they do not then the kind of life they long for will not become a reality. This is why people should not declare their commitment to this way of life unless they truly mean to carry it through by their actions. It is better to not to declare commitment to something at all than declare the commitment to it by words and then to be proven false by one’s actions. Muslim ummah is badly caught in this predicament and such people as make false declarations are called MUNAAFIQEEN by the Quran ie hypocrites and deceivers. A people whose word of mouth means nothing at all ie they are not men of their word. The other point of vital importance is thinking and doing things that produce the required outcome or result. Baseless ideas and useless actions based upon them do not and cannot produce blissful, dignified and secure existence for mankind. Unity between mankind cannot come about unless people who want unity make effort to unite people by thinking and doing things that can unite people. Likewise peace cannot come about between mankind till people who are interested in peace between mankind think and do things that can bring about peace between people. Similarly if people want to make progress then they will have to think and do things that help mankind make progress. It should therefore be absolutely clear that unless people think and do things that help mankind prosper they cannot become prosperous. So people need to have a real good look at their own thoughts and actions and ask themselves, is what they are thinking and doing good enough to deliver them what they are longing for ie blissful, dignified and secure existence? Are they not longing for accomplishing something but are acting against it? If they are thinking one thing and doing another then who is misleading them and why and why are they so easily misled by someone else? If people will start thinking then they will see it clearly that it is dominant people among them who are misleading them such as rulers, money lenders and mullahs through their touts and supporters using their tricks and mechanisms. Why dominant people? It is because not all people are exactly the same rather Allah has created some people with more advantages than others so people who are advantaged by Allah if they acted as Allah told them then things could be very different for mankind a whole. However even the most advantaged people are no match for unity among the least advantaged people, so control is neither totally in the hands of the most advantaged people nor totally in the hands of the least advantaged people. The game is yet to be decided and Allah has told in the Quran repeatedly that ultimately the control will be totally in the hands of humanity as a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah. This is why there is hope for both the advantaged as well as the disadvantaged. 3] We did put through tough struggles those who made similar declarations in the past before them so that Allah makes obvious for all of them to see those who prove their declarations of commitment true as well as those who prove their declarations of commitment false. This verse does not mean that Allah told people to do something and then forgets about them leaving them to themselves. It means those who accepted the truth from Allah after understanding it properly they followed it faithfully and the outcome for their thoughts and actions was kingdoms based upon guidance of Allah wherein they lived a blissful, dignified and secure life for as long as they maintained them properly. This is how the truth of the message as well as faithful following of its followers was proven. Comparing that to Islam of today and its people it is clear that people who claim to be Muslims are attributing falsehood to Allah and they are getting the outcome they are working for ie utter disgrace. It is because they were supposed to live up to the message of the Quran themselves and were supposed to help and support others do the same but they did not, so their painful suffering by hands of each other was bound to be much greater than those who deny the truth sent by Allah completely. So called Muslim rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters have utterly ruined this ummah by misleading it into adopting deen of Islam as a religion so that secularism could be accommodated and thereby power and wealth based pyramid scheme could be adopted as model of deen of Islam. In other words they have managed to label religion and secularism as deen of Islam in minds of people of ummah. Unless ummah wakes up and learns proper deen of Islam and soon it has no future at all let alone leadership of humanity. Ummah cannot be revived unless rulers, money lenders and mullahs are kicked out of ummah or proper sense is put in their heads to give up power, money and religion based pyramid scheme. According to the Quran ummah will bounce back in the end but this time worldwide and forever ie it will never go back to life of hell ever again. So only time will tell which way things will go but it is highly likely the Quranic statement s in this regard will prove true due to presence of signs that give clue to ummah making a comeback. 4] Or is it that those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other think that they can escape Our set-up systems and laws that are there to make them face consequences of their own thoughts and actions against each other? How wrong is their understanding of Our set-up systems and laws that they ended up with such a wrong conclusion! Here the Quran confronts nonMuslims as well for not educating themselves to be able to make proper sense of the message of the Quran. It is because the Quran is available to everyone in the world in its own original text and people know how to learn things to be able to understand the text of the Quran properly yet if they are not bothered to do that then who is to blame other than they themselves? 5] Any people who wish to meet their commitment for turning the way of life advised by Allah into a reality, let them strive hard for it because the condition set for it by Allah to become a reality is bound to become fulfilled that way, for He has made His purpose and plan obvious for mankind to fulfil. Deen of Islam will become a reality in this world for mankind but only when they will make it and that they will make it a reality one day as far as Allah is concerned because that is part and parcel of his purpose and plan for mankind which cannot fail. 6] Moreover let it be known clearly that any people that strive hard for ensuring well being of each other as a proper human community, strive hard for their own blissful, dignified and secure existence because Allah is surely beyond needing anything at all from any of His human creatures in the world. Here the Quran makes it absolutely clear that if people turn their world into a paradise for themselves, Allah has no problems with it rather it is his purpose and plan that will become fulfilled however Allah does not depend upon anyone for his existence or survival. The point is that if people succeed in fulfilling purpose and plan of Allah it only show to mankind how magnificent God is in his ability of creativity and that is because he has been able to produce such a master piece creature called man who is able to carry out his master’s plan. 7] As for those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind by taking such actions as help remove obstacles in the way of unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity We will certainly free them from such thoughts and actions that result in ills in a human population and reward them with a properly balanced community life that is beautiful due to their own mutual thoughts and actions according to Our program, constitution and law. To succeed in properly establishing the way of life advised by Allah worldwide will be a master stroke by humanity ie it will be a huge achievement that no matter how much mankind pride themselves in doing that will not be enough. 8] This is why in Our revealed messages for mankind We have advised each and every human being to think and work for bringing about and maintaining beautiful communities and leaderships, so if instead your communities and leaderships force you the individuals to take rulers other than Allah against Our guidance about which you people have no proof then in that case do not be consistent with either of them. For that matter all of you should turn to My provided guidance so that you are clearly informed as to what you all are supposed to be thinking and doing. In the Quranic context as explained in detail already parents and children mean nothing at all if there is no proper human community based upon guidance of Allah to begin with. It is because human relationships and their thoughts and interactions matter only if they are based upon foundation of deen of Allah. In other words if people have no moral foundation then they are as good as animals in the jungle free to do whatever they like to each other. If people become an ummah ie a proper human community then ummah becomes mother of its individuals and its imam=leadership becomes father of its individuals and all individuals are their dependents so mother and father as well as their dependents must ensure their family is worth the family name ie a Muslim ummah, which means a people who work towards blissful, dignified and secure existence not only for themselves but also for the rest of human population. As explained already the verses in the Quran have complementary meanings that support each other to complete the sense of the text. However it is far too much task for any individual to complete so I am not in a position to explain the message in that much detail. May be one day ummah will see the need for that and try to set up a group of people who can fulfil this responsibility effectively. Works on the Quran produced by individuals like Sir Syed, Farahi, Iqbal and Parwez are highly valuable for this purpose and this work will also be found very helpful for future scholars of deen of Islam. No matter what these works still fall well short of bringing the full picture of the message of the Quran to mankind as to what kind of world the Quran wants people to have for themselves. However, people who will become familiar with these works will find a lot of help in trying to improve upon proper understanding of the message in the Quran. So long as people do not work for bringing about a proper human community they cannot live in peace or progress or prosper as much as they should instead they will remain divided and will continue fighting with each other, so all young and old will keep on suffering painfully by hands of each other and there will be no security for any parent or child. This is why to read the Quranic message in its proper context is necessary. The idea that I will take care of my parents or my children as an individual and all will be ok is not going to succeed and it never did. If anything it only brought about dynastic societies, politics and economics whereby power and wealth based pyramid scheme came about and remained enforced. Things can only change if people who are least advantaged join hands and overthrow this system and replace it with deen of Islam. The Quran is not telling people to lookafter your parents but as a proper human community. Moreover it does not tell people to obey their parents but to deal with them according to way of life advised by Allah. It is because deen of Islam is not a personality cult but a set of goals and guidelines. Had Allah told people to obey people then no person is guaranteed to be free of human errors throughout one’s lifetime. Likewise all parents can make mistakes so why will Allah tell people to obey parents or leaders etc when he knows they can make mistakes? This is why to read the Quranic message in its proper context is absolutely necessary. If any people had right to be obeyed then it had to be messengers of Allah but even in their case Allah tells us only to go along with a messenger as long as he goes according to the book of Allah. Mullahs have created some versions of dogmas and rituals and they have labelled them deen of Islam and people are fighting over them without trying to know what the actual deen of Islam is. The message of the Quran is regardless you are a prophet of Allah or an ordinary human being all must be consistent with each other according to the book of Allah as a proper human community. There is no ruler in deen of Islam other than Allah and Allah has given his guidance for humanity to be consistent with and that is what people ought to be doing by referring to it so that they become aware of what it requires them to do for a life worth living. 9] Those who will truly commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind by following their declarations of commitment with such works as will lead them to unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity We will certainly let them be among those who have attained blissful, dignified and secure existence for mankind as a proper human community. 10] However there are some among people who say, we commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind but when they suffer any hardship as a result for trying to establish the way of life advised by Allah they take it as if it is a punishment for them from Allah. However when there comes support due to revelation of your Creator and Sustainer they say, we have been supporting you always. Does Allah not expose whatever motivations people of all the nations of the world have in their minds through their own attitudes and behaviours towards each other? 11] That is how Allah makes obvious for people to see those who are truly committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and He also exposes those who make false declarations of commitment to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity because they do the opposite to each other thereby to mankind. 12] Behold! Those who reject and oppose way of life advised by Allah say to those who are committed to working according to it for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, support our way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and we will take full responsibility of ensuring your safety against reaction of your wrong doings to others. However the fact is as human beings they are not in a position to take responsibility for ensuring their safety even in the least against reaction of their wrong doings to others. The truth is they are a people who make false promises. This verse explains how dominant people trap others by way of power, wealth and religion based pyramid scheme. People have become divided on the issue of how they should live their lives. One group thinks they know better how to live their lives and they promote a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. For this reason they trigger an unending chain of troubles for humanity as explained in detail already. The other group also thinks they know how to live their lives better because they have guidance from their creator and sustainer. It depends which group succeeds in convincing the other to its way of life. If people who live on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other stay in business then humanity will remain in troubles for as long as they continue to exist. However if people who claim to be based upon guidance of Allah succeed then world will become a paradise for humanity. The problem is progress made by people based upon guidance of Allah is very, very slow indeed so it seems the opposing way of life has yet long time to continue in existence so humanity will remain in troublesome existence. All this because most of the people are not interested in finding out the truth for themselves because it requires constant hard work over a long period of time. Moreover dominant people make the task of getting to the truth yet more difficult by setting up their traps. This creates yet another confusing situation for already confused people who are born ignorant and depend upon themselves and others for learning. It is because dominant people succeed in fooling others to a degree they begin to think they are above the law and cannot be touched by anyone because they are law makers themselves. However, due to their ignorance therefore short sightedness they fail to realise there are other set-up systems and laws that make the universe work and they are not under their control. This is how they end up destroyed by hands of each other due to the very same set-up system and law they set for others. In other words natural course of their own thoughts and actions leads such people to their chosen end in due course when the tipping point is reached. 13] The fact is, such people are forced to face the consequences of their own thoughts and actions against others as well as consequences for actions of those whom they force to act on their behalf and that is how they are held accountable during the time period of uprising for all that they invent and adopt against Our advised way of life. When people trap each other through power, wealth and religion based pyramid scheme then after a while the scheme itself takes over people like a monster from which escape becomes almost impossible so they are led to their chosen end. 14] Behold! We surely sent Noah to his people with Our guidance so he gradually established between them relationship based on mutual love and respect only to become a prosperous community but We also found their opponents caught up in storm of troubles because they were a people who inflicted harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. Here as usual the Quran brings in stories of the past people to explain how the world is set-up by God to work so that people do not follow any wrong way of life instead of the way of life advised by Allah. Should people listen to message of God then world could become a paradise for them due to their own hard works with help of each other based upon mutual love and respect but if they will ignore it then they will be on their own and the consequences for that will be nothing different from what has been happening already to the people in the past. People who live for personal gains at the expense of each other only breed divisions and hatred among themselves which lead them to fights and wars between themselves that over a period of time destroy them by hands and of each other if they do not see sense in time. Word AAMAA is from root AIN, WOW and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to swim. Also to be able to swim skilfully in the sea, be a fully trained swimmer in the sea, a trained diver in the sea, a river boat for crossing a river or sea, a trained racing horse that runs very fast, a time period during which the earth complete its round around the sun by swimming around it in the space in its own orbit, a year of abundance or prosperity, year, a lunar year, a solar year, a brilliant period of time or an era, to hire on a yearly basis, to establish, to float, to run fast, to flood, to link, to guard, to pass time, to water, to irrigate, to enrich, to link together, to trap, to remain in a place or position or situation in some sense, yearly seasons, a way of life, tradition, eye or something like an eye in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. 15] That is how We delivered Our promise to people who came aboard the boat of Our guidance and made them a lesson for nations of the world to learn from. It is very important for mankind to study the Quranic text with utmost care because it is pointing out many things as evidences, which if not understood properly will not be useful for mankind, so mankind therefore must prepare themselves well for this purpose. Here story of people of Noah is brought in to point out something as a lesson. It means if people understood the text of the Quran properly and looked for clues of existence of a civilisation of these people they will find it. Why? Because these are a people who must have brought about a great civilisation in their time. If they did then clues to that civilisation are bound to be still around. However those clues can only be found out if people looking for them have developed the capability to do so. Clues are not necessarily on the surface of the earth but they could be under the sea or buried under the ground due to geological changed on the earth as well as inside the earth. This is why people need to develop ideas, technology and skills to be able to discover things the Quran is talking about. Mullahs have no idea what the Quran contains and what people need to learn and do to make sense of it. This is why people who think blindly following mullahs has anything to do with deen of Islam are far away from the right approach to knowing about deen of Islam. 16] We also sent Abraham to his people with Our guidance and he said to his people at the time, abide by program, constitution and law of Allah and be consistent with each other on that basis because this can bring you a blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community if you could learn to understand these things properly and follow them faithfully. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind the reason people are sent guidance by Allah is so that they base themselves upon a solid foundation and do what is needed for themselves to have a blissful, dignified and secure existence. So the very idea that people of God have nothing to do with worldly life or material things is a nonsense pushed by mullahs to mislead people on behalf of rulers and money lenders to give them a free hand to use and abuse them for their own ends. These people who claim to have no worldly concerns need to be asked, how do they fulfil their physical needs if what they claim is true? If they do not do things to meet their needs then who does it for them? Do they live on begging from others whom they consider filthy due to being covered in worldly dirt called materialism? What is this business of charity all about upon which they let people live and think donators are a great bunch of people? How can anyone donate anything for others which does not rightfully belong to oneself in the first place? Many such questions arise against religious beliefs and deeds because they seem to be full of contradictions and serve no purpose therefore very confusing. The Quran explains lives of messengers of Allah in all necessary detail so that people could learn how they should live in this world properly. Explanations outside the Quran are not as reliable in this regard as the Quran so people must try and make proper sense of the Quranic text in light of known facts. 17] You people abide by rules of laws of other than Allah who are weaklings which you have set up through your own falsehood that is why you people are suffering painfully by hands of each other. The fact is those whom you have taken for your rulers other than Allah have no power to own anything to provide you with sustenance therefore you should seek your sustenance according to the way of life advised by Allah by abiding by His rule of law as a proper human community for using His provisions properly according to His guidance because it is His message alone you ought to be referring to for your guidance. Word AUSAANAA is from roots WOW, TAA and NOON and WOW, SAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is something that has no sign of life. Also something lifeless or dead, something that does not or cannot move, something frozen or solid in some sense, something that stays put, something that does not move with time or make progress, an idol or something like an idol in some sense, something adorable, something that gives pleasure to someone in some sense, a collection of wealth or treasure, something that is used to gives illusion of something else, something deceptive, something that is used by someone for deceiving others, something that does not move from a place where it is put, a human population that is stagnant or suffering from regression, a human population that is not capable of making progress, something static, something stationary, something that stands or stays firmly in its place, something that does not budge from its place or cannot be dislodged or dislocated, a dead civilisation, a people who only look to their past, a backward looking people, a way of life that holds people back from making progress, any idea or thing that holds people in same backward state of existence, a mindset or attitude or behaviour that stops people from moving on with time, staying firm, being constant, a piece of land rained upon, having great wealth, being endowed with literary talent, being an object of worship, a feud, the main artery that feeds the body, to be constantly flowing, life-vein, juggler-vein, life-line, a weak people, a fallen people, weaklings, a defeated people, a people who have given up hope, a hopeless people, people who lack sense of creativity and liveliness, a people who are victims of make beliefs and useless actions, door or something like a door in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense etc etc. 18] So if you people too will deny the rightful place in your lives to Our this message in form of the Quran then many nations have already denied the rightful place in their lives to Our messages before you. Be aware that the duty of Our messenger is only to deliver Our message to you clearly but to respond to it appropriately is up to you. 19] Why do they not observe carefully and learn how Allah originated the creation and evolved it and repeats the process through reproduction and recycling? Surely to carry this grand plan was easy for Allah. 20] Say to them, travel throughout the world and observe carefully to learn how Allah has originated the creation and brings about later creatures from the earlier ones. Surely Allah has set-up systems, structures, mechanisms, processes, procedures and laws for proper operations of all things. 21] He leaves to suffer the painful life any people who wish to go their own way and leads to blissful, dignified and secure life any people who make efforts for that according to His guidance because their minds are turned towards it. 22] So behold! You the mankind cannot derail His plan in the earth or in the rest of the universe nor have you any protector or supporter against Allah. 23] As for those who refuse to live their lives for accomplishing goals set for them by Allah according to His provided guidelines thereby refuse to meet His set standard for living a blissful, dignified and secure life in this world, they are bound to fall in despair due to not following My program for them for blissful, dignified and secure existence so they are bound to suffer a painful existence. 24] However like chiefs of these people who oppose this message about Our advised way of life, chiefs of people of Abraham had no solutions for the problems pointed out to them by Abraham about their invented and adopted way of life other than saying, kill his mission by defeating him or keep annoying and provoking him till he gives it up. Nonetheless guidance of Allah delivered him from the fire of their hatred. Surely in the story of Abraham there are lessons for those who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. According to the Quran Abraham was able to turn his people round to his way of thinking by delivering them lectures as to how to live properly in this world. He faced tough opposition at the start of his mission but gradually succeeded in educating his people and brought them out of their way of life on the path Allah advised for him and his people. If same message was delivered the same way today to people of the world they will realise what is wrong with the ways of life they follow and how can the way of life advised by Allah help them to be at the heights of excellence. It is just that mullahs have misinterpreted and misrepresented the scriptures so masses are totally confused about the proper way of life for living in this world. 25] This is how Abraham addressed them to turn them round, you people have taken rulers other than Allah the people with harmful and destructive ambitions and desires on basis of mutual petty personal gains between yourselves but in due course eventually during the period of uprising some of you will reject and oppose as well as fight and throw abuse at others that is how your way of life will eventually land you in the hell of your own making and you will have no guidance of Allah to help and support you out of that situation should you reject and oppose it now. Here it is made clear that some of the dominant people in any human population always plot and scheme to take hold of others or to keep their hold on others or to strengthen their hold on other so people of Abraham were not any different. However if people are educated by someone properly then it is possible to turn them round by making them realise what is bad about harmful and destructive way of life for people and what is good about beneficial and constructive way of life for them. The main story of Abraham is told in other surahs here we are only told about start of his mission and how it was completed successfully. No matter what each messenger of God had to work very hard to make people see sense. Some succeeded much more than others such as Adam, Noah, Abraham etc etc. This is the main reason their stories are told about most. It is very much possible that great civilisations that were brought about by major messengers of Allah will be discovered by humanity in time to come. 26] Listening to this talk of Abraham, Lot joined him in commitment to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and he said, I migrate from this way of life to way of life my Creator and Sustainer has told me and He is a mighty wise ruler of this kingdom of the universe. Here the Quran tells us people are people be they messengers of God so they live and die as people. When they are born they are brought up by their parents according to their own beliefs which if false they move away from looking for the truth. Eventually they are called upon by God while looking for the truth and given the mission to carry out. The main thing is story of Adam as to how he was chosen as a messenger of God in order to lead mankind to right path. 27] Moreover We succeeded leadership of Abraham with Isaac and Jacob and placed the prophet-hood and the book in his ideological following and that is how We rewarded him during his life of this world and among the generations to come he will surely be remembered among those who did things that helped mankind develop and prosper. This verse is telling us a very important point which is reward in this life. A reward which mullahs will not let us emphasise because it ruins their whole plot about leaving rewards for all works to hereafter. This verse tells us Abraham was rewarded in this life for his works. What was his reward for his hard work? He was made imam of the most successful people in this world. He was not a monk or a man who had nothing to do with things in this world ie materialism. He built a great civilisation as he was guided by Allah and that is why he is still remembered with a good name. As I have said it already, people need to find out who was real Abraham, who was real Joseph or who was real Moses etc etc. The pictures painted by mullahs about the messengers of Allah are totally false or mainly false and the truth is yet to be discovered. Messengers of Allah were not poor helpless men who disappeared leaving no trace because otherwise what will be the point of telling their stories? It is possible one day we will discover true information about them the Quran is pointing us to. 28] Likewise We sent Lot with Our guidance and he said to his people at the time, surely you people think and do all that is against the way of life advised by Allah. None can compete with you in that respect among the human population in the world. When a people invent and adopt a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other in opposition to way of life advised by Allah then none can be worse than such people because they are supposed to be leading themselves and others according to guidance of Allah instead of being misled by each other and misleading yet other people. This is the story of Muslims of today who are misled by each other and are misleading the rest of the world by telling them things that have nothing at all to do with deen of Islam as actual deen of Islam. 29] Do you link yourselves to dominant people in your human population in order to stop masses from living by the way of life advised by Allah so that you could promote mindset, attitude and behaviour that is harmful and destructive for humanity through your assemblies and councils? His people had no answer other than saying to him, bring upon us the consequences for our thoughts and actions which are promised by Allah according to you if you are of those who speak the truth. This verse tells us how people who seek domination over others join hands to form a power, wealth and religion based pyramid scheme in order to trap masses in their widely cast net. These people do not consider long term consequences for their this mindset, attitude and behaviour for humanity as a whole. They cannot see how by this mechanism they slow down human progress therefore prosperity. It is clear that if a people will hold each other back from doing things that take humanity forward then humanity will suffer greatly. As explained already story of people of Lot has nothing at all to do with homosexuality. It is because if that had been the case as mullahs will have us believe then their human population could not continue any more. The very fact that they were a great number of people gives lie to claim of mullahs that they were mostly homosexuals if not all. Moreover the Quran does not forbid people from relationships that are based upon natural sexual orientation of people. Not all people are born true men or true women there are many people who are neither proper men nor proper women so they too have right to blissful, dignified and secure existence according to the Quran including satisfying their sexual needs. However law is needed to regulate behaviour of all people in a society including sexual behaviour and including sexual behaviour of non heterosexual people. 30] Lot said, my Creator and Sustainer, help me through Your advised way of life against the way of life of these people who are committed to creating divisions therefore wars between people thereby. 31] That is why when Our missionaries came to Abraham with the good news about Isaac and Jacob from their prophet who sent them to help Lot they also said to Abraham, we are going to leave the people of that township to their own harmful and destructive way of life because the people of that township are given to inflicting harm and destruction upon each other as well as other communities for their personal gains and their expense. 32] Abraham said, but Lot is in there also. They replied, we have been informed who is in there and we will certainly lead him and his people to safety except a party of his people that will remain stuck to its own harmful and destructive way of life. 33] So when Our missionaries came to Lot to help he became worried and anxious for their safety because he could not guaranty their safety. However they said to him, worry not about our safety nor be anxious because we have been sent to help you. We will save you and your people except a party of your people because it is of those who will remain stuck to their self invented way of life. 34] We are going to leave the people of this place to the heavenly forecast on account of divisions they have created among themselves through mischiefs. 35] So We have indeed kept the place as a clear lesson to observe and learn from for the people who care to observe things to understand them properly. All people are told the proper way of life and they are left to choose for themselves which way they wish to live and face the outcomes of their own thoughts and actions regarding each other. 36] Likewise to people of Madyan We sent their brother Shuaib with Our guidance who said to his people, O my people! Abide by program, constitution and law of Allah for your better future and be not a people who cause divisions and wars in the world between human beings. Word TASOW is from roots AIN, SAA and WOW; AIN, SAA and YAA and AIN, YAA and SAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to cause separation. Also to cut or disperse or divide or isolate, to cause havoc, to go haywire, to act wickedly, to cause harm or destruction, to cause chaos or confusion, to cause corruption or disorder or dissention or mischief, tangled hair, male hyena, an uncivilised or uncultured or a crude unkempt person, a fool or an ignorant or illiterate person, to cause fights or wars, to conspire to cause fights or wars, to cause something to decompose or disintegrate, to cause something to break up into pieces and disperse, to divide people into parties and cause a power struggle or tension between them, eye or something like an eye in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. 37] However they denied rightful place to Our message in their society by rejecting and opposing it so in due course due to their lies against Our message a terrible uprising seized them by surprise and due to the new beginning their rule in their jurisdiction was replaced with rule based upon Our guidance. Word RAJFAH is from root RAA, JEEM and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to spread false propaganda against the truth to cause troubles. Also to agitate, to start a campaign or movement against something, to spread lies or false rumours, to thunder or cause an uproar, to prepare for war, to quake, earthquake, tremor, to tremble or shake, a blast, to provoke, to make someone angry, to make someone burst into rage, to bring about a revolution, to cause revolt or uprising or upheaval, to cause tumult, to bring change to something in some sense, to turn something upside down, to bring change to a social or political or economic order or landscape, to change one thing with another or to replace one system with another, head or something like a head in some sense, camel or something like a camel in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth ion some sense etc etc. Word JAASIMEEN is from root JEEM, SAA and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to stick with one’s place or position firmly in some sense and do not leave it. Also a pile of dust or ash, a blob of mud, a dune or hill, to lie down on one’s chest, to lie on one’s face, to be turned upside down, to tie down a live target firmly before shooting it with an arrow to kill it, to lie down without moving, the gathering of something in one place, to make things suffer the same fate, to make things undergo same sort of change, body, corpse, structure, to crouch, to lie face down, to be heavily laden, to lie flat, strewn about motionless, camel or something like a camel in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. These verses tell us Shauaib managed to bring change to his society in Madyan even though he was opposed by his chiefs. The rest of his story is told in the Quran elsewhere. As people become divided troubles start and spread and when a messenger shows up with message of God rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters oppose him because they benefit from each other but the rest of society gradually joins him and movement keeps gaining strength till tipping point is reached which replaces one way of life with another. If opponents join new way of life, well and good otherwise they end up destroyed by each other. 38] Likewise happened in case of people of Aad and people of Thamud. That should be obvious to you people from the clues of their dwellings. The user and abuser leadership of theirs made their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other for personal gains at the expense of each other fair-seeming to them and diverted them from the way of life that was proper for their unity, peace, progress and prosperity. Even though they were a people intelligent and skilled yet they used their brains and provisions to unduly dominate and undermine each other. So their knowledge and skills availed them not because they ignored Our guidance. 39] Similar was the case of Qaroon, Firown and Hamaan, because Moses came to them with clear goals and guidelines from Us but they decided to remain dominant over people in the land by undermining but they could not defeat Our set-up systems and laws with their scheming and planning. 40] We found each and every one of the dominant elite and their supporters among human populations caught up in consequences of their own crimes against each other leaving behind a trail throughout times and places. Some of them due to their own self created fire of hatred against each other ended up as victims of violent tornados, some of them ended up as victims of droughts, some of them ended up as victims of earthquakes and some of them ended up drowned in the floods. It was not Allah who inflicted harms and destructions upon them rather they themselves inflicted harms and destructions upon each other by going against Our guidance. Word SAIYAH is from root SWAAD, YAA and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is blast. Also drought, famine, shortage of rainfall, dryness of land, poverty, drying up of resources, to run out of things of need, to yell or shout or cry out, to hail, to ripen, when a tree has dried up and its branches are broken they make loud noises, shortage of things of need for survival, upheaval, tumult, commotion, uprising, earthquake, explosion, a noise made by something being torn or broken, volcanic eruption, bloody revolution, revival, resurrection, loud crying of people due to severe hunger or thirst or death and destruction, a sudden or surprise attack to kill or destroy or rob or plunder or loot, a state of fear, to strike with terror, to give a fright or become frightened, to punish, tree or something like a tree in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense etc etc. This verse draws our attention to some very important things. Here the Quran tells us what can happen to us if we do not learn and do things the way Allah as explained to us. If we do not learn sense of making sense of things then the way this universe is set up to work can become a problem for us because we could then end up being victims of its natural working by being in its way. It is like a child who is not yet aware of working of road traffic runs into middle of the busy road and ends up hit by a car or something. When it comes to the working of the world, earthquakes, floods, tornados etc etc are natural occurrences and people are supposed to learn how the set-up systems and structures operate and then do things to stay safe. This cannot happen unless people pay attention to natural working of the universe to become aware of it. How can people become aware of working of the universe if they keep conspiring for wars against each other and thereby their waste time and resources? People are supposed to ensure their safety by thinking and doing things for that purpose but instead they are busy thinking and doing things which bring upon them their own death and destruction. Just by having no sense of worthwhile goals and guidelines they fail to organise and regulate themselves properly even for their own survival, so how can they have a blissful, dignified and secure existence which has its own requirements that people must meet if they do wish that sort of life? No wonder the Quran teaches mankind proper sense to live in this universe properly and this is why understanding the message of the Quran properly is very important as well as its faithful following. Failing that things will continue as usual. 41] The likeness of those who take for supporters for their safety and security such people as live by a way of life other than the one advised by Allah is like that of a tiny insect which builds for itself a house on a flimsy foundation. No doubt the most prone to destruction is house of a tiny insect which is built upon the weakest foundation. Had they bothered to learn things as they were guided, they will not have ended up as they did. This verse is telling people who are wise that they cannot be trapped by tricks of people who think they are clever enough that they can fool just anyone. The people who lack knowledge are weak due to being ignorant of things therefore they can be easily fooled by others but people who have learned things in their life and keep learning become wiser so they save themselves from becoming victims of harmful and destructive people. In a way revelation of Allah is a test for people as to how clever or wise they are. So people who can properly understand the divine wisdom cannot be deceived by others nor such people dare deceive others due to being fully aware of the consequences for themselves and others. This verse also points to power, wealth and religion based pyramid scheme whereby dominant and advantaged people link to each other forming a network of crooks in order to use and abuse the rest. However, these people always need to keep an eye on each other because they also end up undercutting and back stabbing each other for the very same reason they come together for in the first place ie each of these people is power and wealth hungry and will do anything or go to any length to get to the top of the ladder. On the contrary their this mechanism is balanced by unity between people on basis of guidance of Allah for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind but that cannot succeed unless disadvantaged and undermined people learn things they need to learn and do what is needed for that end. All this needs hard work by people for ensuring firm belief in proper way of life as well as to make it a reality and to keep it that way. 42] Surely Allah makes obvious for mankind the fact that all those whom they take for their rulers other than Allah have no power whatsoever and that He alone is the mighty wise ruler of this kingdom of the universe. The weaknesses of self proclaimed rulers who claim to be in control of everything are constantly exposed by what they do to gain what they desire because they keep failing in becoming what they desire. The Quran is full of stories about such people and so we see world full of such people. A clear lesson for people to not to follow any way of life that leads nowhere. 43] Such are the examples which We cite as explanations for understanding of the mankind but none will grasp them save those who commit themselves to learning sense to be wise. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind to learn sense and be wise and judge things sensibly and do them properly so that purpose for which Allah has created this world and things in it including people becomes fulfilled. 44] Allah has evolved all the galaxies including this galaxy for a set purpose, surely in all this there is a lesson to learn for those who wish to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. 45] So proclaim to mankind O messenger that which is revealed to you of the scripture for establishing a proper human community network based upon it. Surely existence of a proper human community network based upon it can keep people away from replacing proper way of life that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence with a false way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby people end up inflicting harms and destructions upon each other. The reason for founding proper human community upon the book of Allah is because guidance of Allah is strongest foundation for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and that is how Allah makes obvious weaknesses of all the ways of life that you the mankind invent and adopt by yourselves. Verses like this make it absolutely clear what the Quranic terminology means in the proper context of the Quran. Here word SALAAH is explained through its expected results. Something that prayers cannot accomplish as explained in detail already. It is therefore wrong of mullahs to take word SALAAH for prayers or to take word ZAKAAH for 2.5% annual charity. Deen of Islam is based upon five main pillars that have been explained in detail already. Mullahs have misinterpreted the Quranic terminology and have misrepresented it and that is why the Quranic text seems full of contradiction and flaws as well as of other nonsense. This is why people must not trust mullahs but study and explore the Quran for themselves in light of real world realities. The simplest fact is that praying five times daily, staying hungry and thirsty for a month of Ramadan, going on a visit to see an old building named kaaba in Makkah in month of hajj once in a life time, paying 2.5% of one’s wealth once each year can never solve human problems for which the Quran has been sent by God. This is most obvious proof that mullahs have been teaching nonsense in the name of deen of Islam. Islam means submission to program, constitution and law of Allah for peaceful existence of mankind. How can mankind have peace by things which mullahs tell people to believe in and do? Such things have no direct real positive effect on real world realities. Allah wants mankind to have beautiful life in this world as well as in hereafter according to the Quran so how can people have a beautiful life in this world by praying, fasting, only a tiny bit of charity and visiting an old house in Makkah? This is what each and every human being needs to understand so that one could look for proper deen of Islam instead of being a blind slave of mullahs good for nothing. Deen of Islam is basically about people coming together to become a properly organised and regulated human community in order to tackle problems of life that face humanity for its existence according to advice given in the book of Allah as explained in detail already. There is no nonsense in the text of the Quran but there is plenty in heads of ignorant and foolish mullahs and their blind followers so people need to become aware of all this for their own good if they wish to have a great life in this world so that they could have a yet better life in hereafter. It is better for people if they stay away from make beliefs and useless rituals otherwise consequences explained in the Quran cannot be avoided by mankind for staying ignorant, illiterate, uneducated, untrained, unskilled and having no sense of making sense of things properly or doing them properly. 46] This is why you should not argue your case with the people of the book but for turning into a reality the way of life that can make life in this world beautiful for mankind to live by with exception of those people who are hell bent on inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for petty personal gains at the expense of each other saying to them, we commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to that which is revealed to us and that which was revealed to you, our ruler and your ruler is one and the same so we submit to His rule of law for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity. 47] And that is the purpose for which We have sent this book to you and that is why those who were given the book before committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to it and likewise commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to it people other than those given the book already. None reject and oppose Our set out goals for mankind to accomplish according to Our provided guidelines save those who prevent others from accessing Our provisions for them to which they have been given the right by Us. In these verses the Quran tells its followers what is the bone of contention between people and how people who follow the Quran must bring it to the attention of others, be they people of the book or atheists or agnostics or polytheists or any other. Here the Quran clearly tells Muslims to strive hard for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind without any discrimination with exception of people who take it upon themselves to reject and oppose this message. This is why deen of Islam is universal truth that cannot be challenged on basis of logical consistency by any philosopher, any scientist, any leadership of any religion or secular social, political or economic denomination. 48] You Our messenger never proclaimed any of Our book to them before this nor have you written one ever by your own right hand and proclaimed it in Our name. However had you written one by yourself and proclaimed it in Our name these people who are submerged fully in falsehood could have been right in doubting your claim to Our messengership. Word TAKHUTTUH is from root KHAA, TWAA and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is tracks. Also roads or paths or ways, lines or markings, writings, stripes, furrows or ruts or grooves or trenches , inroads, affairs, plans, signs, symbols, marks, inscriptions, scribbles, etchings, engravings, wrinkles, hollows, to write down, to transcribe, to write a letter or book, to brand, something visible from a distance in some sense, direction or instruction, limits, a piece of ground that remains dry while it rains all around it, a piece of land where no one has landed before, a piece of land which one marks for building a structure, fence or something like a fence in some sense, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense etc etc. This verse in its own context does not mean the prophet could not read or write but that he did not write any book himself and claimed it was sent by God like other people have been doing and still do. The Quran or any other divine book never depended upon the prophet for its proof because it always carried its proof within itself in form of what it talked about for knowledge speaks for itself. No prophet ever proved any book from God divine instead it was always the book that proved the prophet-hood of any true messenger of God. Today the final prophet is not alive living among people but the Quran is still there to prove itself as divine as well as the messenger-ship of the last prophet. As for the idea that if prophet could read and write then people could doubt origin of the Quran is a nonsense idea because how many people can read and write in the world today yet they fail even to grasp the information the Quran contains because it is beyond their level of learning never mind producing a book like the Quran full of information like it. Here the Quran is only making a point that had prophet been involved in lying to people earlier in his life about God then people had a reason to doubt his messengership from God. Since prophet never said anything in the name of God to people ever before so people had no reason to think he is making it up again or that he is at it again. It is also very important to remember that in receiving and delivering message of Allah a messenger of Allah never makes any mistake at all because that is the way Allah has set-up things to work. This does not mean a messenger of Allah is free of making any mistakes at all as a human being when he is acting as one in his daily life. As the Quran tells us repeatedly, a messenger of Allah is just another man from among the rest other than when it is a matter concerning receiving and delivering the message as it is. So the idea that any messenger of Allah is a supernatural being or has any such powers is not what the Quran explains about messengers of Allah and that is why so called miracles are never shown by them to people as explained in detail already. 49] However the fact is, these are Our clearly set out goals for mankind to accomplish according to Our provided guidelines in minds of those who have been blessed with this information and its proper understanding. So none opposes and fights against Our set out goals and guidelines for mankind except those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. Allah is telling mankind here which people oppose his guidance and why ie rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters. 50] They say, why the miracles we demand have not been sent to him from his Creator and Sustainer to prove his prophet-hood? Tell them, to send proofs and to determine their nature is up to Allah alone and I am a person who is sent to make people aware about His message for them. 51] Is it not a sufficient proof for them about your messengership from Us that We have sent to you this book which is proclaimed to them? Surely in its proper understanding and acting upon its guidance faithfully rests blissful, dignified and secure life for people who will commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. The Quran is very clear about what the proof means and how it proves the claim. The Quran explains its purpose for people and gives ideas about how people should live in this world for a life worth living. The ideas can be turned into reality by people if they chose. A workable plan is good enough as a proof in form of an explanation which becomes a concrete reality if people put it into practice. So there is no need for kind of miraculous proofs people ask for because they can serve no purpose as explained in detail already. To ask for such a proof cannot be justified by mankind which can serve no purpose for them. Such verses also mean the only fully reliable source of deen of Islam is the scripture sent by Allah and not things people attribute to Allah or his messengers which do not fit in with context of the revelation of Allah. Deen of Islam can only be examined in its own framework otherwise it serves no purpose. The very basic thing we need to understand is relationship between law maker and law and its application as well as enforcement. One may have heard the phrase, the law is supreme. It is a matter of fact that law is supreme is very a important concept. So long as law is not there regarding something anyone can do whatever anyone likes but once a law is there then that law is to be followed exactly as it ought to be followed otherwise it serves no purpose to have the law. People are important as individual personalities but only till they come together to make a law for themselves as a community and once they agree upon making a law and living by it from then on the law becomes more important than any individual. Allah was not bound by law for so long as he made no law but once he did he also became law bound along with his creatures because if he does not stick to his own law it means nothing at all for anyone or anything. Why not? Because a law is needed when a program is there and a program cannot be there unless there is some goal for the accomplishment of which the program is needed. If a goal is there then there have to be guidelines otherwise people cannot be directed towards the goal. This should explain what is the framework of deen of Islam and why. Now coming to verses of the Quran and the Hadees reports, they all need to be interpreted in a way that they are consistent with what is explained here otherwise they can serve no purpose. It is because whatever the case a context and perspective is absolutely necessary for it. In other words if we just speak having no context then we cannot understand anything at all. To make sense of any word or deed there has to be some purpose to it which gives clue to its context. The Quran is not for any particular person but for whole of mankind. Basically it is for people to come together as an organised and regulated human community based upon the Quran. The Quran is a manifesto and a program because Allah has set some goals for mankind to accomplish. Since the Quran has set some goals therefore the need for rules and regulation or laws so that people could accomplish those goals according to provided guidelines. The purpose of provided guidelines is so that people form a constitution and related laws as an ummah through mutual consultations as already explained in detail. Why do we need a constitution? It is because when a people come together need arises how they should interact with each other and why so they need to agree on things that constitute a constitution and they need laws to regulate people and relevant institutions therefore they need laws. They need to put in place procedures and practices for all to follow that help fulfil aims and objectives or goals etc. In short if a number of people are living in a house then they need house rules to live in harmony otherwise they are bound to get in the way of each other. If they have agreed consistent house rules and follow them as they should then they will save themselves from stepping on each other's toes otherwise chaos and confusion is inevitable between people living in the house. The world Allah created is like a house for mankind so they need to have house rules in order to live in it properly. Goals, program, guidelines create a relationship between God, people and things. Nothing can dare go out of step or everything falls apart. It is because this whole thing forms a complete unit together. If any part is not in its proper place or does not work in the system as it should then system falls apart. This is why under law personality cult becomes impossible because all persons and things involved work like parts of a machine to achieve the objective. Allah has a role to play and so have people and things in his scheme of things. All these simple things need proper understanding before deen of Islam makes any sense to anyone. It is because ummah lacks this sense of deen of Islam each and every thing people do as individuals or as small or large groups for deen of Islam end up anti deen of Islam without people realising it. People write religious songs about God and prophet or other people but they are based upon wrong understanding of deen of Islam. People write books and make movies about deen of Islam but they are all busy spreading wrong ideas without realising what damage they are inflicting upon humanity due to their ignorance about deen of Islam. This is why the human world is in turmoil having no sense of proper direction. 52] Say to them, testimony of Allah is sufficient evidence between me and you because thereby He makes obvious for mankind all that is in the heavens and the earth for ensuring well being of human kind. As for those who commit to working for false way of life that can lead them to harms and destructions and reject and oppose working for way of life advised by Allah they are a people who are bound to end up as losers. 53] They challenge you to hasten the painful suffering that will be result of upheaval they are forewarned about. Tell them, had the terms and conditions not been set for it, that painful suffering they are calling for will have been already upon them. It is going to come suddenly and catch them unaware but in its own time when the set conditions are met. This like verses in the Quran are repeated to make people realise what they are saying so that they learn sense of making sense of things and do what needs to be done so that mankind could breathe the sigh of relief from the life they already have due to living their lives their own ways. It is because people have no sense of how individuals ought to link to society and how society ought to links to politics and how politics are supposed to link to economics and how economics are supposed to fulfil all needs and wants of all people in the world. People need to ask themselves and each other, can they fulfil all their actual needs and wants without help and support of each other. If they cannot then does that not make a case for full cooperation between them for this purpose? If it does then what is stopping them from coming together and working as one single family or ummah? So one can see how deen of Islam is a natural way of living for humanity. This is why deen of Islam was always the same from the very first messenger of Allah namely Adam till the very last messenger of Allah namely Muhammad. Once people decide they are a single family and need each other to make their lives worth living then all such things which could cause falling apart of this family must not be allowed and any people who try to make mischiefs must be stopped through education and reformation and if that fails then such anti social people should be gotten rid of from the community either through isolation or putting to sleep. If family decides to work together then it does not need power and wealth or religion based pyramid scheme in order to use and abuse each other. All people need to do is come together and produce what they need to the best of their abilities and distribute them among themselves freely as already explained in full detail. There is no need for any kind of mechanism which could lead to use and abuse of some people by others eg there is no need for any money based system. 54] They challenge you to hasten that painful suffering while realising not the fact that fire of hatred among themselves has already encircled all those who oppose Our guidance by their words and deeds. When troubles in the world appear then stage for upheaval is set and bloody revolution can take place at any time all of a sudden like pulling the trigger of a gun. Once it takes place then there is no going back so there is no sense in asking for self destruction, particularly if the life to come is going to be the outcome of life in this world. It will be a case of jumping out of a frying pan into the fire. So trying to hurry up things for the worse is not a sensible thing to do but then stupid people have no sense because they are not bothered with learning sense to make sense of things. 55] On the day when the uprising overwhelms them by surprise, it will cover them from above as well as from beneath their feet and missionaries of Allah will say, now taste the consequences of your own thoughts and actions against each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. When upheavals take place top people are toppled by people whom they crush under their feet and that is how comes about the change through bloody revolutions ie the whole social, political and economic landscape and order is replaced with whatever surviving people decide to replace it with. Troubles in a society can be started by top people or high class as well as by people at the bottom of the pile or low class or by average people in the middle ie middle class. Troubles started by top class can be called troubles from above and likewise troubles started by low class can be called troubles from below. It is because troubles caused by people to people are already told about by God and that is why people have been sent warners so when bad things happen they are called heavenly punishments. Heavenly punishment does not mean Allah goes about looking for opportunities for beating up people. He has set-up the universe to work in a certain way for his own purpose and he has told people about it in detail and now it is up to people to learn it and do as told in this universe otherwise keep on falling in trouble by misusing provisions of God. Allah has created fire and gave it all its properties and he has taught people all about the fire they need to know so it is up to people to use it properly and be happy or misuse it and suffer the consequences of their own wrong thoughts and actions. 56] O My people who are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, My provided foundation is comprehensive enough for you to build your lives upon therefore abide by My rule of law alone rather than living by rule of law of anyone else. 57] Each and every human population faces extinction unless you people meet Our set standard for your blissful, dignified and secure existence or survival. This verse also means each and every human population faces destruction so you the mankind should turn to us for your guidance or therefore you people should turn to our guidance. 58] So those who will commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and do things that help people unite, develop and prosper according to Our guidance We will land them in a kingdom which will ensure their blissful, dignified and secure existence to live therein wherein will flow things of their need and desire like rivers. What a blissful outcome for those who think and do things that can land them in blissful, dignified and secure existence. 59] The people who are constantly steadfast and consistent in their mindset, attitude and behaviour with Our guidance and each other because they rely upon set-up systems and laws of their Creator and Sustainer. 60] Behold! How many living creatures are there in the world but they are unable to sustain themselves, it is because upon set-up systems and laws of Allah depends their sustenance as well as yours, that is why He makes things obvious for you the mankind through your senses and His revelation to learn and do for your blissful, dignified and secure existence. This verse makes a very important point that no living being is self sustaining other than Allah himself. Allah not only sustains himself but he also sustains all other living and nonliving things by way of provisions he has provided for them through some sort of mechanisms. He has programmed all living creatures to a greater extent that have very limited freewill as compared to human beings and these creatures are created so that humans could benefit from them in various ways including learning from them by observing them to see how they do things so that people could carry out their responsibilities likewise in an organised and regulated way through their own ability of creativity to become even better at doing things they need to do in light of revealed divine guidance. This is why Allah draws attention of people again and again to natural world and things in it so that people observe things and learn from them by interacting with them in order to fulfil their role effectively. In other words it is all science stuff something that science terms learning by way of experimentation. This is why life experiences are of vital importance as a first step in learning and understanding things as explained already in detail. The purpose of revelation of Allah is not to educate people from the scratch but to help them live a proper life after they have learned how to make proper use of divine revelation. 61] If you ask the opponents of Our guidance who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon to his laws to serve mankind? They are sure to say, Allah, then how are they letting themselves to become confused and led away by each other from His guidance? This verse is telling mankind to be clever enough not to be confused by each other and misled in the name of God, especially by rulers, money lenders and mullahs. If it is Allah who has created this world then it is he alone who the right to rule it and that is why he has given people his law or book. This explains what caliphate is not. In Islam there is no absolute authority other than the Quran and the chief administrator is only there because the proper human community based upon guidance of Allah has put him there to ensure all including the chief himself are living by the book of Allah. So theocracy is not Islamic way of governance of state it is rather a rule by mullahs where power rests in one person that mullahs choose for whole of his lifetime. It has been explained elsewhere already what is meant by Islamic government. It is a way of managing human population and resources, means of production and distribution to ensure well being of humanity by the mankind themselves with help and support of each other according to the book of Allah. The job of chief administrator is to ensure all are carrying out their duties faithfully and the ummah is to ensure the administration it has put in place is doing its job properly according to book of Allah and needs and desires of the ummah. No person has any superiority over any other because all are supposed to work like components of a machine that works properly to do what it is supposed to do for which it is designed. 62] Allah provides with abundant provisions a people who organise and regulate themselves properly as told and likewise He limits His provisions for those who fail to organise and regulate themselves properly as guided. This is why Allah makes everything obvious for mankind to understand properly and do faithfully. It is true that if a people unite and work together in an organised and regulated way towards a set goal then they can accomplish it in no time where as random thoughts and actions by random people only wastes time and resources. It become even worse if people waste time in negative competition against each other because a lot of energy is then wasted in struggling against each other rather than doing the work that needs to be done. How strange that people do not want their governments to organise and regulate them as proper human communities but they want that for their private companies? It means they are hypocrite and stupid who want one standard for themselves but another for others. A recipe for creating unnecessary divisions among mankind which in time lead them to fights and wars with each other due to vested interest in form of petty personal gains and privileges. This is what imperialism means whereby people use and abuse each other on basis of power and wealth pyramid scheme. 63] Moreover if you ask them who sends down water from the heaven and thereby brings the land back to life after it is dead? They will surely say, Allah! Say, it is a proof that sovereignty only belongs to Allah therefore all must live by His advised way of life but most of the mankind do not use their provided brains and senses appropriately to understand things properly. It is because the whole universe works as a unit wherein each thing complements others therefore it is a proof that it is created and run by same source or authority for its own purpose which explains it in its revealed guidance. 64] Therefore to them life in this world means nothing more than an amusement for passing their time. However living for a brilliant future and yet better hereafter, that is the life worth living for if they could realise it. Word LAHW is from root LAAM, HAA and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is to get involved in something which leads one away from one’s goal. Also distraction or diversion, pastime or amusement, to get involved in something that helps waste time, to turn or draw one’s attention away from something important or valuable, to mislead one from one’s objective or goal or purpose, to catch one’s attention, to turn one’s attention to, to become attracted to something else rather than the intended target, uvula, gullet, to have fun, to play away, to fool about, to not consider something important or of value, to do something worthless or useless, mouthful, to let go one thing for another, to drop something for something else, to become short termist, to look for quick gain/s, to lack seriousness or patience or endurance, to have no worthwhile goal or ambition, to lack sense of or interest in long term future, to lack or have no sense of purpose, to have twisted mindset or attitude or behaviour, to be an opportunist, to be a gambler, to be a conman, a woman that attracts one’s attention other than one’s wife, mistress, something that distracts or misdirects or misleads, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, window or something like a window in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense etc etc. 65] Behold the behaviour of people who live aimless lives that when they embark on a ship and the ship gets into trouble in the sea then they call upon set-up systems and laws of Allah whole heartedly by solely relying upon His set-up systems and laws in order to survive the trouble, however when He brings them safely to the land they go back to living by way of life told to them by others than Allah In this like verses people are told to pay attention to their behaviour in time of trouble. During this period of time they forget all else and fall in despair looking in all directions for help and support to get out the trouble but once they are out of troubles with help of each other they go back to same kind of mindset, attitude and behaviour that is contrary to guidance of their creator and sustainer. This contradiction in thoughts and actions of people should make obvious to people they are doing something wrong. It is because if people need each other in time of troubles then they should not forget each other in good times as well. That is what Allah wants of people ie they should remain faithful to each other always as a brotherhood of humanity. It is very clear for this reason that when people think and act against each other for personal gains at the expense of each other they should be ashamed of themselves because at that time they are putting each other in to trouble. Where is sense in putting each other in troubles and then getting upset when others are in troubles? So this inconsistency in mindset, attitude and behaviour of people must be addressed by mankind themselves as told by God. That is the time when the world will become like the paradise. In some verses God uses word FULKI meaning ship or boat but it also means when people set out on doing something or go on a mission or goal which they set for themselves as a task to do. A journey or embarking is not always travelling from place to place but going through a task eg one could be making his way through educational process. This journey is about learning or training or discovery etc. The Quran often uses this idea of saying something in a way which means something else and that is because that is how Arabs used their language at the time the Quran was revealed. The classical Arabic idiom stops one from word for word translation of the Quranic verses. These verses are like proverbial if you like which only make sense in their own proper contexts and not as individual words. This is why it is easier to translate the Quranic message rather than Quranic words for other words. 66] due to which they shield what Allah has provided them with from others and prevent them from getting to it, so that only they themselves could profit from it, but soon they will come to know the consequences for doing so. 67] Do mankind not see that We have made for them Our guidance a secure sanctuary to live in peace and prosper because people all around them are being enslaved by those in positions of power among their own populations? Do they still want to keep on trying to bring about unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind through basing themselves upon false foundation by keep opposing abundantly blissful, dignifying and life securing program of Allah for them? This verse is making a very important point that if you want to go in a particular direction then you must take the road that takes you there and not the road that takes you in the opposite direction. The consistency between goal and the way to achieve it is a must or goal cannot be achieved and if anyone insist that it can be achieved despite the existing inconsistency then one is pushing falsehood and people that support that need to wake up that they are being led the wrong way to some other end than the one they are told. People should never be this stupid that anyone should be able to lead them anywhere one pleases. 68] So which people can be more harmful and destructive than the ones who invent things all by themselves but spread them among mankind as things from Allah or that they prevent the truth from reaching mankind as it is when it comes to them by spreading falsehood in its name? Is life of painful suffering then not the right outcome of their own such thoughts and actions for those who cover up Our guidance with their own falsehood? Here the Quran is drawing attention to what people do to messages from God. They misinterpret them, they misrepresent them and they spread false stories and rumour about them so that people just ignore them. This is what many nonMuslims are doing about the message of the Quran today. They never read the Quran for its proper understanding yet they have opinions about it based upon the nonsense they have heard of someone else and they keep spreading that misinformation thereby causing delay in bringing about the better world for humanity. That is because every person counts when humanity wants better world for itself because unless all people play their assigned parts properly in their lives the better world cannot come about all by itself. So those who spread misinformation about the proper program, constitution and law of Allah could therefore see what they are doing to mankind by saying wrong things about the right thing ie the Quran. 69] As for those who strive hard for discovering and following Our guidance We will surely guide them to Our advised way of life because Allah surely supports those who struggle for bringing about a beautiful world for themselves as a proper human community. Surah 30 AL-ROOM-Those who think and act to gain power and wealth at the expense of each other their past and future is utterly dark but those who live for each other their past and future is absolutely brilliant This surah is named AL-ROOM from roots RAA, WOW and MEEM; MEEM, RAA and RAA and MEEM, RAA and YAA. Concrete meanings of this root is something bitter. Also rebellious, a Godly person, to rub or massage the udder of a she-camel before milking it so that it gives plenty of milk, to cause blood to flow, to cause bloodshed, to bring forth something, to bring forth all arguments in a dispute to prove one’s case, to wrangle, to fight, to make effort to extract something out of something, to get something out of something, to make someone in some way do something in some sense, to bribe, to blackmail, to twist one’s arm, to coerce or force, to oppose, to doubt, to plunder or loot, to deny, to provoke, to taunt, to be bright, to reject, to be innocent, to be simple minded, to be spotless, uncultivated or uncultured or uncivilised, brutal, cruel, bandit, robber, looter, plunderer, stubborn or arrogant, excessively proud or haughty, a person intoxicated with power or wealth or prestige, a person or party lusting or going after power and wealth or prestige, oppressor, tyrant, a people intoxicated or swelling with power or pride, someone who uses power or wealth or prestige properly or improperly, white antelope, a star or celebrity, teat, sweat of a running horse, a person suckled or nurtured by a she-wolf, the Roman civilisation or Empire, name of a person or place or a people or a place named after a person eg Mariam or Maria, tuberose, wished for child, strong waters, to pass or pass by, to drag along, to continue, to twist together, might, determination, to struggle, to be trustworthy, once, one time, myrrh, gall, gall bladder, to be angry, marble, to go on one’s way, calamitous, good judgement, 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, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. This surah is named AL-ROOM not because word room is used in it but due to subject matter it discusses in it. The subject matter is centre of power and its basis as well as whether it is right or wrong. As already explained clearly by the Quran repeatedly that mankind can only live by rule of law of God or their own rule of law. If they live by way of life advised by God then they are promised a blissful, dignified and secure life but if they decide to live by their own way of life then life could be anything but blissful, dignified and secure. This is why the Quran forbids shirk ie living by rule of law of any other than Allah. The Quran is basically about God, humanity, its social, political and economic set-up and working. It is an anti religion and anti secularism book. It sets goals and provides guidelines for accomplishment of those goals and gives no special status to anyone over anyone else. Each and every person is set responsibilities and given rights and is expected to fulfil his or her role faithfully. So there is no ruling elite, no mullaism and no money lending elite in deen of Islam. However ummah has all these curses imposed upon it but it cannot get out of this situation till it decides to understand the Quran properly and spreads that understanding and persuades mankind to come together to live faithfully the way the Quran proposes. This is not possible till people get out of influence of mullahs and secularists and money lenders etc who are eating away at roots of the ummah. The Quran is on the side of humanity and opposes all such elements that bring harm and destruction upon humanity no matter under whatever label or umbrella. This is why word ROOM is very important because it represents ecclesiastical government of Christian church or power of priests who could appoint kings over kingdoms under their jurisdiction. In other words all kind of power was concentrated once upon a time in Christian Church and its Popes. It is a worst situation than it was in time of Moses when all power was concentrated in Pharaoh, Hamaan and Qaroon. So the Quranic title for this surah is indicator of a very important point. It is not power of church but of exploitation of humanity in the name of God. This surah begins with a prediction how powerful nations will ultimately be won over by the power of the information in the Quran. The reason is education of masses can bring them out of personality cults to principles and values or proper rule of law. Nations will keep on rising and falling till they become sensible enough to become established upon foundation proposed by the Quran. The sooner the better. The Quran then goes onto science and draws attention to observation of universal realities and learning from them to enable humanity to keep progressing towards better future. Attention is also drawn to bringing about a proper human community and a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah in order to prevent or eliminate painful suffering of mankind with help and support of each other. Harmful and destructive elements in human society are warned about consequences of their thoughts and actions against each other as well as humanity is warned against them to be aware of them and keep them under control or they will undermine humanity. The Quranic way of life is emphasised again and again particularly politically and economy wise so that people become a proper human community based upon the guidance of Allah. It is made very clear that responsibility of managing people and resources properly is of people as a community and not of God. God only had to provide things for mankind to use them as they wish but he sent them guidance as well to advise them how to conduct themselves and manage the provided resources or provisions. The surah is basically self explanatory. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] ALIF LAAM MEEM. 2] The people lusting after power and wealth have been waging wars to dominate each other Word GHULIBAT is from root GHAIN, LAAM and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is thick and long neck. Also to grab by the thick and long neck very strongly, to overwhelm or overpower or defeat, to defeat or overcome each other or one another, to undermine or dominate each other or one another, to influence or be influenced, to shadow or be shadowed, a strong tree full of leaves and branches, a garden full of thick trees, to prevail over, to overcome, to subdue or vanquish, something luscious, something highly pleasing to taste or smell, something richly satisfying or appealing to the mind or senses, good poetry, delicious food or drink, luscious fruit, luscious woman, a person with strong sexual appeal, a piece of land full of thick trees with abounding leaves and thick branches, to be victorious, eye or something like an eye in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense etc etc. These verses are about people fighting for dominance over each other whereby each party tries to undermine all others. The idea is made clear that people who have power try their utmost to increase their control over others which is anti deen of Islam regardless who wins or loses. However this fight between people weakens them and that opens them up to listen to others what they have to say in order to get them out of this spiralling violence which they can no longer stand or sustain. Till powerful people have full power they do not bother to listen to anyone but as soon as they face tough time they begin to look for ways to overcome the facing situation including seeking advice of others. The very same is true about individual as well as nations that when things are going their way they hardly pay any attention to those in trouble but as soon as they fall into troubles themselves they start looking for some support from some corner. It shows how short lived are peoples’ harmful and destructive mindsets, attitude and behaviours. Only people who base their lives upon original values remain constant and the main reason is because they always keep their doors open for all, so when they face any troubles the sharing pulls them through hard times. This is why being part of a properly based community is very valuable for people and such community can overcome any opposition no matter how tough. This is the reason Muslims soon overcame both Persian and Roman Empires. Not just because fighting with each other made both the empires weak but because the final prophet of Islam inspired a new community through goals and guidelines stated in the Quran. 3] due to being based upon unstable foundation however they will soon be overcome after being undermined by each other 4] through rule of law that is based upon goals and guidelines that are original. Within firm grip of plan of Allah are all affairs be they related to past or the future of the mankind. So that will be the day when those who have committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind will rejoice Word BIDI is from root BAA, DWAD and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to cut something into pieces in some sense for some purpose. Also to divide something into parts, to arbitrate, to settle a dispute, to judge impartially, foundation or basis for judgement or deciding a matter, constitution, rule of law, a reference point, to act impartially, to be free of bias or prejudice or discrimination, to not be a corrupt person, something worthy or of value, treasure, wealth, riches, goods, extract, juice, essence, seed, merchant, something to trade with, money, gold, silver, capital, principal, stock, wherewithal, business, to trade, to barter, means or supplies for the purpose or need, to exchange things, to buy things with money, something worth keeping an eye on, something to guard, something to take care of, to do business, to carry out a business transaction, to cut meat, to make profit, a part of something, some part of something, a few, several, any number between three and ten, any number from four to nine, flesh, a lump of flesh, to slice, to be intimate with a woman, to marry, a piece of merchandise, a small number of items, a small flock of sheep, house or something like a house in some sense, tree or something like a tree in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense etc etc. 5] due to being supported with guidance of Allah. He supports with His guidance whoever shows determination for it by working according to it because He is mighty provider of a program for mankind that can lead them to blissful, dignified and secure existence if tey worked according to it. The Quran does state many times that people of God cannot be defeated by their enemies because they do not take anyone as their enemy but those who do they either give up their animosity because of their invitation to adopting Islamic way of life or they attack Muslims in rage and learn the lesson the hard way. One Must remember that here I am not talking about Muslims in name only who never read the Quran to understand it and have very little idea what it is about. The so called Muslims are busy cutting each other’s throats instead of learning the Quran properly and taking its message to rest of humanity to help people in the world become united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous. In fact if they have any spare time they get involved in issuing nonsense fatwas against each other. So people who wish to know proper Islam should read the Quran for themselves but with help of worthy dictionaries because translations of the Quran and its interpretations by mullahs and their ignorant followers are not helpful at all in understanding the message of the Quran because almost all interpretations of the Quran are religion based so they are full of contradictions and falsehood. They give us idea about mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of their authors rather than telling us about the message of the Quran. 6] Such is the promise of Allah and the set-up systems and laws of Allah never fail in fulfilling His promise yet most of the people bother not to learn all this which they ought to know. 7] They only learn what is obvious about life as it presents itself needing no effort for exploration that is why they remain unaware about the way of life for their brilliant future. 8] Why do mankind not make each other think things through thoroughly among themselves as to how they should live their lives? Allah has not created the heavens and the earth and all that is in between them but for a set purpose for a set time? The fact is, most of the mankind refuse to know and live up to set standard of their Creator and Sustainer. Word YATAFAKKAROO is from root FAA, KAAF and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to remove gaps between ideas or things by connecting them together in some sense for some purpose. Also to show consistency between things for fulfilling some purpose, to reason out things systematically and methodically, to rationalise, to create a consistent explanation about something, to connect claim with evidence in such a way that it proves the claim, to bring things together in such a way that they end up making a complete thing that works, to bring things together in such a way that they end up making a complete sense, thought process, to think or reflect or ponder, to remind or remember, to satisfy some need or condition for something to happen, to make things fit in their proper places, to look at something in a particular way or from a specific angle, to work out a way to do something, to solve a problem or answer a question, to use one’s intelligence to figure out something, an idea, a point of view, to contemplate or meditate, to think out a way to do something, to reason things out, to suppose, to judge, to formulate in the mind, to imagine, to visualise, to plot or scheme or plan, to hope or expect, to call to mind, to devise, to intend, to concentrate on one’s thoughts, to focus on something, to look at something attentively or thoughtfully or seriously, to consider with care, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, palm of hand or something like a palm of a hand, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. 9] Why don’t they travel through the world and see what was the end result of those before them who lived their lives the same way based upon petty personal gains at the expense of each other? They used their strength against each other like these people and that is how they built useless landmarks and monuments in the land because they set-up their own empires therein in great numbers like these empires of theirs and that is why there came to them their messengers from Us with clear goals and guidelines but they opposed them and ended up destroying themselves by hands of each other. It was not Allah Who inflicted harm and destruction upon them rather they were of those who inflicted harms and destructions upon each other. The questions the Quran raises are very interesting to make people think but the most important question is, how can we make best sense of existence in sense of its origin, its purpose and working? So the questions we need to raise need to be in line with these objectives in mind rather than random questions which do not help answer the original question. The very basic question is existence of God ie does God exist or not? This question is important because without supposing existence of a God we cannot explain existence of anything else at all. Why must we suppose existence of a God? It is because things already exist and each thing has some causes behind its existence. Since we have no way to prove things can exist without any causes at all therefore till we can prove otherwise we must suppose existence of an uncreated creator. Why creator and not just a random cause? It is because the creation does not show it is a one off random act or result of some sort of accident instead it gives impression of a design and planning. It is possible that God may not exist but it is also possible that he may exist. So by way of a possibility we can assume the creation is act of God unless things can be proven otherwise. In my view it is impossible to prove things otherwise. Why? Because a negative cannot be proven and because hidden causes cannot be eliminated due to our limited human capacity. In short it is logically more consistent to accept existence of an uncreated creator than accept an unending chain of creators because that makes existence of anything a logical impossibility but the creation is already here ie we think we exist. Now that we have supposed existence of a God and we also have supposed that creation is act of God the question arises, does God have a purpose for creating things? If so, what is his purpose and how can we know about it for sure? This brings us to the idea of God communicating his information to mankind. This leads us to suppose revelation from God because we ourselves have not been able to discover God for ourselves directly due to our lacking in our brain power as well as limited capability of our senses. This leads us to accepting two acts of God ie creation and revelation, which leads us to another question ie what should the revelation of God contain in it? For a start it should contain proof for existence of God, information about purpose for which God has created this universe and things in it including human beings and how this universe and things in it work to fulfil that purpose which was in mind of God due to which he created the creation and human beings as a part of it. Without God explaining things for us in reasonable detail for our verification to satisfy ourselves reasonably we can never know anything for sure eg we can never be sure if this universe is real or just an illusion. So the main question is, why did God create the universe and things in it including mankind? Allah is not just a living being but an intelligent living being and just as any intelligent living being must express itself so did Allah by means of creation and revelation. This is why these are called acts of God. No philosopher or scientist can ever prove anything against the acts of God no matter how hard they study things and for how long for the reasons explained above. Since Allah decided to express himself he decided to plan and execute his plan the way we see it in form of creation and revelation. Since he decided to express himself, he decided to create a creature called human being so that this creature appreciates his expression of his will because otherwise his objective could have remained unfulfilled. This is why he did not want a fully programmed robot to respond at his command in a pre-recorded data fashion and that is why he gave mankind what we call a limited freedom of choice and created people ignorant at birth but capable of self programming through interaction with each other and other created things in the provided environment we call the universe. He created this world and people in it this way so that whoever appreciates him as a great creative mind does so freely through one's own learning and doing things. This is why he created mankind according his own design and plan ie able to learn and do things through power of their own creativity ie Allah placed huge potential in mankind to think and do things by themselves so that people could appreciate how magnificently great creative mind and power their creator has. Word JABBAAR does not mean tyrant in the context of the Quran when this word is used for God, it means the one who has tight grip or full grasp over something in some sense. For example it mean a person who fixes broken bones and then ties them tightly in such a way that they heal properly and do not move from there fixed position. Likewise word QAHAAR simply means the one who has such power and strength that he cannot be resisted. In other words someone who cannot be stopped from having things his way. Since Allah is AL-RAHMAAN, AL-RAHEEM, AL-ALEEM, AL HAKEEM, AL-HALEEM etc. etc., all these attributes of God come together in such a way that they make things happen in such a way that they are consistent with good nature of God. So God is not an oppressor or an unjust or cruel being. In the Quran God does not tell people to fear God, he tells people to keep in their minds his guidance and fear the consequences for going against that guidance. It is like a parent tells his child don't put your hand in the fire or you are going to get burnt. In each and every place in the Quran God draws attention to consequences and never even once frightens people just because he happens to be a mighty powerful being. People have misinterpreted the Quran and misrepresented it either through ignorance or due to vested interests. Instead of arguing over nonsense of ignorant people first find out what the proper thing is. That will be better use of one's time and energy. So far it should be clear that to prove a negative directly in case of God is impossible and that is because human ability of thinking and observing things has a limit beyond which it cannot go. If it is impossible to prove something negatively then what is the next best things to do? It is to prove a negative indirectly through the positive. In case of existence of God if we have any other evidence than mere logically consistent explanation then that can prove the claim positively. For example, to prove existence of God this way we can bring in revelation concept and then put forth a book as an evidence. However there is a problem and that problem is, the book that is attributed to God must be consistent within itself and also with respect to self evident realities. If it contradicts itself or self evident facts then such a book cannot be revelation from God. This raises question of correct interpretation of the book for its proper scrutiny which means all people who wish to examine the book must have the knowledge the book requires for its proper understanding so that it could be examined appropriately. If the book is misinterpreted or misrepresented and it is examined on that basis and rejected then this cannot be called a proper interpretation or proper examination of the book. So anyone who sits to examine the Quran first must find its proper interpretation or one cannot examine the book properly so one cannot reach a proper conclusion about it. Many points have been raised by the Quran but I will try and address pleasure and pain concept. Is God sadistic? This question is not as difficult to answer as it seems. One of the main things for a person to remember is that negatives in case of God cannot be proven therefore hidden causes cannot be eliminated or ruled out. Not only that but one must also remember there are facts and explanations of facts. Unless facts fit the explanations or explanations fit the facts one cannot reach any decisive conclusion about anything at all. So can humanity on its own decide whether something is real or imaginary? The answer is, never. People will always have to suppose something as a starting point. No matter what we cannot escape supposition. After supposing the starting point we can start building up an explanation till we think it is complete and once we have our explanation it will give us a model and if we are happy with the model we can share it with others. This process involves construction, deconstruction and reconstruction till we have a model. God created things for a purpose which has been explained already. In order to fulfil that purpose God had to create things that interacted in such a manner that that purpose of God ended up fulfilled. This is why God had to create different things for various reasons so that each does what it is supposed to do in grand scheme of God. He created human beings for a very different purpose than rest of living creatures eg animals and plants. Even plants are created different for different purposes and so are created different animals for different purposes as well as human beings. Plants do not need the kind of brains, senses and bodies like human beings because there function in the grand scheme of things is very different from animals and human beings. The very same is true for differences between animals and human beings. As we should know, animals have been on the planet earth for billions of years before human beings. Have they managed to discover things the human beings have discovered even though they came to existence long after them? No. They even failed to invent a proper language to pass on the information like human beings down their generations. All because they had no idea how to read and write. There brains, senses and bodies are only consistent for whatever they have been created. No cow could ever invent a car or drive it despite seeing human beings doing it. This should prove to anyone beyond a shadow of doubt that animals and people are very different from each other despite things being evolved from each other. Animals are not as self aware as people, animals are not as aware of other things as people. This is why animals cannot use their own abilities beyond their purpose of creation therefore they cannot use other things as sensibly as people. This is why there is a clear distinction between plants, animals and human beings. Allah created them to serve certain purposes and that is it. Since plants and animals are not like human beings therefore we cannot assume that whatever happens to them it has exactly the same affect on them as it has upon human beings. Human brain is capable of much more thinking at much deeper and wider level than all the animals and plants put together over a very long period of time. For feeling pain or pleasure plants and animals need same sort of brain as people which they do not have. So there is no question of plants and animals feeling pain. How could God create plants and animals with similar brains and let them make each other go through hell when he create them for a totally different purpose than human beings? Plants and animals and universe were created for mankind so that through interacting with things for various reason mankind could learn and do things for which Allah has created them. Even people do not feel pain when their brains are cut off from rest of their body's nervous system eg during anaesthesia. Surgeons cut patients into pieces and people just sleep through such big operations for many hours. It shows pain is felt by brain and only if such a part exists in the brain and that part is alert which does not in case of animals. The question is if plants and animals do not have brains to feel pain then why they make noises when we put them through some sort of stress or hurt? It is merely a reflexive response which has its own purposes. For example, a cow tangles itself in a rope in such a way that it is hurt (as we think) so it makes noise and the owner becomes alert something may be wrong. He comes and frees it from the trap. Had the cow died without making any noise then owner will not have become alert and freed it and it will have died and gone to waste. A dog barks and a person becomes alert there may be danger. Just because animals make noise under what we deem stressful state, it does not mean they actually are hurting like people do. Animals can be compared to toys we make for children. When a child does something to the toy it responds, so it is up to a child to interpret this response. If a child pushes a button of a toy baby and the baby starts crying, the child may also start crying thinking the toy is getting hurt. Just like a child interprets response of a toy to his action so we human beings interpret signals we receive from animals in reaction to our actions. All this because we have no idea what the purpose of God is for creating things for us. The Quran tells us Allah created animals for people to get hold of them, train them and make use of them eg for riding or moving loads etc etc. Likewise people can eat some animals because they are a good food for human beings. Allah has made us arrive and survive in this world on the backs of animals and plants. This is how Allah used all this as a life support system. The learning point is also very important ie by experimenting with animals we have learned a lot just like children learn a lot from toys by playing with them. Allah wanted us to learn to be sensible enough to look after things and the universe. Just as a child cries after breaking his own toy because he has no toy to play with any more so mankind should also be upset because they have destroyed a lot of life supporting material in the world. If we want healthy dairy products or beef we must look after cows so that we get healthy food. A doctor or engineer must look after his instruments or tools and things one depends upon for living. Animals, birds, insects etc etc all have roles to play to make this world work the way it does. People need to educate themselves to learn what roles things are playing and then ensure their safety and security as their guardians like a gardener looks after plants in a garden. All this helps to bring about a beautiful world for people themselves. The feeling of pain and pleasure is only for human beings not for other things. People are busy fighting against each other due to destruction of forests and due to extinction of species but it is all due to confusion people live in instead of finding out the truth. This is why its false propaganda against deen of Islam by ignorant people who claim to be environment or animal friendly. Their concern however for the animals and environment is genuine. It is because stupid people do not listen therefore such people are forced to use such tactics but their such tactic have negative affect when they do not know the reality of things. Coming to human related suffering, it is a very complex issue because creation of human being is a special thing for a specific purpose and unless the whole thing is looked at in its own proper context it will make no sense. All human suffering results from being born ignorant but capable of learning however learning takes time and by the time one becomes wise enough to figure things out one has already done a lot of things which bring painful suffering upon oneself and others as their consequence. For example, when a human is a baby and he is being trained for learning how to sit, he falls over many times before he gets the idea. Many a time he hurts himself during this process of growing up and sometimes very badly. The same happens when it is time for him to learn how to crawl, stand up or walk or run etc etc. A child may burn himself by jumping into the fire or pulling upon himself a hot kettle full of hot water etc etc. Should human beings blame God for this or their parents? It is because if parents learned how to train their children safely before having children and applied their skills properly then such things could be avoided. This is what makes it a complex issue. People are born with genetic disorders or disabilities. Is this fault of God or parents or human society as a whole? If somehow genetic disorder could be detected at sperm and ovum stage and reasons behind it, such defective births rate could be minimised if not eliminated altogether and if genetic disorders could be repaired then things could get even better but all this needs a lot of learning with which people are not bothered to begin with. Not only that they also hinder each other from learning and doing things properly and that is what causes them to suffer as a consequence of their own mindsets, attitudes and behaviours towards each other. If parents are properly educated and trained for upbringing of their children and then they put their education and training into proper use properly could their happen things mentioned above? No. To train a baby for sitting, parents could use a specific area with needed stuff where falling over of a child does not cause him hurt. If a parent is not sensible enough one could make a child try and learn sitting on a concrete floor instead of a soft floor. So is it fault of God or parent when a baby gets hurts when he shouldn't have had the parent taken the right steps? Likewise God has explained to people and they can see it themselves how the universe works because it is right in front of their own eyes. If people instead of paying attention to learning about it start fighting with each other and thereby hold each other back from learning and doing things they ought to be learning and doing whose fault is that, of people or God? If people will not pay attention to things then they will end up being victims of naturally functioning universe ie floods, earthquakes and many other avoidable disasters. Man has been created with huge potential and has been provided with all he needs for turning his potential into a reality but if he fails to realise it then whose fault is it, his own or his creator's? In all cases it is very difficult to prove that it is God at fault for creating anything. It is true that God provided people with things but it is people who misuse things or fail to use them for the purposes they have been provided. The results are right before our eyes. Whatever we see wrong in the world, it is people themselves who have created it and human beings have been created with huge potential as a human family to be able to fix it. If they want to keep on destroying things they can continue but if they want, they can also start fixing things because they can do that as well. God did not create things to do each and everything himself but he created others things to do things that they are supposed to do in the grand scheme of things. So people have a lot of learning to do to find out what they have been created for and why or how can they fulfil their role for which God has created them. All this proves beyond a shadow of doubt that Allah is free of cruelty that people in their ignorance attribute to him. 10] Looking back at the terrible outcome of the actions of those who committed atrocities against each other it was all due to their refusal to live their lives according to set goals and guidelines of Allah because they were of those who did not take them seriously. 11] They did not realise that it was Allah Who originated the creation and since then reproduces it using recycling processes therefore by His set-up systems and laws are bound all affairs of all things. It is because the natural world is working by set up systems and laws of Allah people too must learn to live by way of life advised by Allah so that their existence also becomes blissful, dignified and secure. 12] The day when the upheaval will take place those who commit crimes against each other will be dumb struck with despair. If people will not live by way of life advised by Allah then the day will arrive about which the Quran warns repeatedly and once that day arrives there will be no going back. Bloody revolutions are not good news but if that is what people want and work towards then nothing can stop them from landing in one once in a while. When a bloody revolution is triggered it is a sudden thing therefore it takes people by surprise. What triggers bloody revolution is the way people drive each other crazy by ignoring each other’s concerns and then some incident suddenly becomes the trigger and things get of control of all people. Deen of Islam can only be examined in its own framework otherwise it serves no purpose. The very basic thing we need to understand is relationship between law maker and law and its application and enforcement. One may have heard the phrase, the constitution or law is supreme. It is a matter of fact that rule of law is a very important concept. So long as law is not there regarding something anyone can do whatever anyone likes but once a law is there then that law is to be followed exactly as it ought to be followed otherwise it serves no purpose. People are important as individual personalities but only till they come together to make a law for themselves as a community and once they agree upon making a law and living by it from then on the law become more important than any individual. Allah was not bound by law for so long as he made no law but once he did he also became law bound along with his creatures because if he does not stick to his own law it means nothing at all for anyone else either. Why not? Because a law is needed when a program is there and a program cannot be there unless there is some goal for which the program is needed. If a goal is there then there have to be guidelines otherwise people cannot be directed towards the goal. This should explain what is the framework of deen of Islam and why. Now coming to verses of the Quran and Hadees reports, they all need to be interpreted in a way that they are consistent with what is explained here otherwise they can serve no purpose. It is because whatever the case a context and perspective is absolutely necessary. In other words if we just speak having no context then we cannot understand each other about anything at all. To make sense of any word or deed of anyone there has to be some purpose to it which gives clue to its context. The Quran is not for any particular person but for whole of mankind. Basically it is for people to come together as an organised and regulated human community based upon the guidance provided by the Quran. The Quran is a manifesto and a program because Allah has set some goals for mankind to accomplish. Since the Quran has set some goals for mankind to accomplish therefore the need for rules and regulation or laws so that people could accomplish those goals according to the provided guidelines. The purpose of provided guidelines is so that people form a constitution and related laws as an ummah through mutual consultations. Why do we need a constitution? It is because when a people come together, need arises how they interact with each other and why so they need to agree on things that constitute a constitution and they need laws to regulate people and relevant institutions therefore they need laws. They need to put in place procedures and practices that help them fulfil aims and objectives or goals etc. In short if a number of people are living in a house then if they have consistent house rules then they will save themselves from stepping in each other's way, so all will be able to live in harmony otherwise chaos and confusion is inevitable. The world Allah has created is a house for mankind so they need to have house rules in order to live in it properly. Goals, program, guidelines create a relationship between God, people and things. Nothing can dare go out of step or everything falls apart. It is because this whole thing forms a complete unit. This is why under law personality cult becomes impossible because all persons and things involved work like parts of a machine to achieve the objective. Allah has a role to play and so have people and things in his scheme of things. All these things need proper understanding before deen of Islam makes any sense to anyone. 13] None of their rulers which they take other than Allah will be there to intervene for them in order to save them and that is how they will be disowned by their chosen or accepted rulers. 14] During that period of time when the uprising takes place mankind will become distinct groups. Since it is divisions among people that cause bloody revolution that is why each group will be fighting for its own vested interests doing all it can to all others. A person will be attacked from as many sides as many groups are there. Individuals will try to get away with whatever they can, so one can imagine what little problems in society lead to over a long period of time if ignored and not addressed. Once one way of life falls another comes into existence that works for a little while and then same happens again. This will keep on happening unless people learn to live by guidance of Allah. That way once wrong way of life is uprooted and right way of life is established throughout the world then there will never rise the need for another bloody revolution. 15] So those who will have committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and will have taken concrete steps to help humanity unite, develop and grow will be pleased with outcome of their thoughts and actions for each other in form of a blissful, dignified and secure life in a kingdom. 16] But those who will have rejected Our guidance causing divisions thereby wars between people by denying each other Our set rights for them to Our provisions, due to that they will have failed to meet Our set standard for their brilliant future therefore such people will end up in painful suffering by hands of each other. For having blissful, dignified and secure existence in this world mankind must meet set standard of Allah otherwise no matter what they cannot have the beautiful life promised by Allah instead they will end up in terrible painful suffering by hands of each other. If each person will only work for ensuring one’s own well being and ignore well being of others or causes troubles for others then one must remember that each person has weaknesses and strengths. It means all people will then try to get away with whatever they can, however they can and whenever they can. This will create instability at a grand scale due to trust deficit. This is why there is no alternative to community life for mankind. The idea that people should mind their own business is a fancy saying but is it at all practical? No, not at all. Why not? Because people are born from each other and they are led by each other therefore they are influenced by each other naturally due to interdependence. Human beings are a family therefore they cannot exist in isolation from each other. So the problem is not that we influence and control each other in various ways but the basis upon which we control each other. Does anyone have any such basis upon which we could ask humanity to unite better than the foundation the Quran provides? I have not come across anything better in my life that is why I take the challenge of the Quran very seriously that none can produce anything like the Quran. When we cannot produce anything better than a 1400 years old book even today then what reason do we have to fight against its guidance? This is how the Quran proves it is not work of any human being but of a highly intelligent being who knows what he is talking about. It is up to us to learn to make proper sense of divine guidance and follow it faithfully because it has the best solution for all our human problems for ever. Interaction between people is an inevitable reality and when two things interact they do influence each other from the tiniest possible to the largest possible. The problem is knowing about what is good influence and what is bad influence and that none of us can define on our own and that is why morality can only and only come from a genuine source. This is why the existence of a book like the Quran is certainly a gift of God for humanity that people must appreciate unless they want to learn the hard way by beating sense into each other over a long period of time. This is why all people should study the Quran in detail and find out what it is all about and then talk about it after knowing what it contains and why and how it could be used to help mankind land in blissful, dignified and secure existence. The world is a place of interaction between people therefore one person tries to influence people one way and the other person tries to influence them the other way all because human beings have drives and those drives motivate people to do things and they can only do things the right way or the wrong way. Who knows what is right way to do things and what is wrong way to do things? None of us. It is Allah alone who knows what is right for us to do and what is wrong for us to do. The sooner we learn that the better it is for all of us. The more we ignore studying his message properly the more painful suffering we put each other through due to our ignorance and arrogance. 17] Therefore it should be clear to you the mankind that glory belongs to way of life advised by Allah regardless you go for your fall by ignoring it and working against each other or you go for your rise by accepting and working according to it as a proper human community. Word HEEN is from root HAA, YAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is time. Also a period or a period of time, a certain moment in time or a certain time period or a certain time, to approach, to draw near, to watch out for, to wait for the opportunity, to fix a regular time, a point in time, at the time of, when or while, span of time, a point in time when something occurs or concludes or reaches its fulfilment or its intended destination, to want something, to go for something, death or destruction, a drunkard person or a foolish or an ignorant person, fence of something like a fence in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense etc etc. Word TUMSOON is from roots MEEM, SEEN and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is the time of the day when the sun declines. Also evening time, the time from afternoon till sunset, the time period of declining of a nation or people, the time of destruction, to enter the evening time, to clear the uterus of a she-camel by hand, to help someone, hardship or difficulty, middle of the road, trouble, poverty or disease, lack of things of need, water or something like water in some sense, 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. 18] It is because sovereignty of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah alone regardless you reach for depth of darkness of ignorance or you reach for brilliant light of knowledge. Word ASHIYAA is from roots AIN, SHEEN and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is darkness that appears before the eye for some reason. Also bad eyesight, inability to see at night, to be dim sighted, to feel around aimlessly, to veer away from something, to become distracted from something, evening, darkness, to make a distant light at night, to give a night meal, to fail to see, to become blind to something, to not to notice something, the first part of the night marked by the disappearing of the twilight, to be blind, to leave one thing by turning to another, to avoid something in some sense, to take cover or hide from something, lack or absence of light, darkness of night, the night time, the time between evening till night, the time from the afternoon till dawn, the latter part of the daylight, eye or something like an eye in some sense, 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. 19] He raises to life a dead nation that follows His advised way of life in due course and He lets a living nation perish that begins to ignore His advised way of life just like He brings back to life the earth after it is dead by rain from the heaven. Likewise you people will also be raised to a living nation through following this Quran. In these verses Allah explains clearly how nations rise and fall as well as why. So people should learn the message of the Quran properly and follow it faithfully if they wish to reach the state of existence that is blissful, dignified and secure otherwise life of painful suffering is not far away. 20] One of His lessons for you to learn from is that He evolved you the mankind from the particles of dust and in due course you the mankind spread throughout the world. The Quran repeatedly tells us human beings have been evolved from inorganic matter. It is therefore clear that living things came from nonliving things. A clear proof that things came from things. It is very clear for us to see that humans come from humans and animals come from animals etc etc but here the Quran tells us something very different ie human beings came from dust. We have not seen any human being coming form dust but instead we see people are born from people. Elsewhere the Quran tells us all living things came from water. The Question is, what is the Quran telling us? It is telling us various kinds of things came from various kinds of things not just the same kind of things from the same kind of things. It is an irrefutable proof as far as the text of the Quran is concerned that things evolved from things despite being different in kind from each other. One has to ask, if God meant to create different things as they are then why did he not create each and every heavenly body as it is rather than creating matter first and then splitting it into different bits and pieces and then turning nonliving matter into organic matter and bringing about a living cell and then evolving tree of life out of that cell for creating all sorts of life form? So those who try to refute scientists by saying God can do this and that are missing the point. God created this universe after planning and designing it in his mind as to how it ought to be and then initiated the process of creation to turn his plan into a reality. All this is clearly told in the Quran and all one needs to do is bring all these points together in a sensible way and see what they tell us about creation and revelation of God. They back up claim of scientists proving the fact that the Quran is revealed by the same source that has created the universe. Otherwise why will God need to create dust and then human beings from the dust? Why will he create water and then life from water? All this points to a process of creation by way of some set–up mechanisms. A clear proof that words KUN FAYAKOON do not mean God said let there be cow and it was and then said let there be a monkey and there it was. That will make mockery of creation process of God. This is why people should not interpret the Quran according to nonsense of mullahs or scientists or philosophers etc etc. The Quran needs to be interpreted in light of facts and not in isolation from realities of this world. Money lenders and rulers and mullahs will love to create controversies where there are none for obvious reasons ie due to their own vested interests as explained already. 21] Another of His lessons for you to learn from is that He evolved for you of your own kind complementing supporters so that you may find comfort through love and kindness of each other by basing your relationship with each other upon a program that can lead you to blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community. Surely there are lessons in such things to learn from for those who use their brains and senses properly to observe and think things through thoroughly. This verse tells clearly that Allah created mankind for living their lives based upon brotherhood not animosity. This is how mankind can help make life of each other pleasant and comfortable instead of making it a living hell for each other. 22] And yet another of His lessons for you to observe and learn from is the evolution of the heavens and the earth and the evolution of differences in your languages and variety of colours of things. Surely there are lessons in such things to observe and learn from for all those who are committed to observations and learning in all the nations of the world. Unless we try and understand things in detail we cannot appreciate how grand creative ability of God is. To come to know about origin of languages and colours needs a lot of study and understanding so that we could see how we came to talk, read and write etc. Such things can help us understand how things evolved over a period of time and thereby make proper sense of our world. 23] And among His lessons to observe and learn from is your sleep at night and your quest for His bounty during the day. Certainly there are lessons in all this for people who observe things properly to learn from in order to adhere to His guidance. People have needs and there are provisions for them for fulfilling those needs but they can do a better job in doing that if they adhere to guidance of Allah otherwise their lives will be in a mess due to turning their world into a living hell by doing to each other things they should not do and by not doing for each other things they ought to do. Here the Quran tells people to find out things about sleep ie why people sleep or how they sleep and what happens when they are asleep or how sleep helps them to become fresh again ready for another day to do things etc etc. 24] And of His lessons to observe and learn from is lightning, in which there is fear as well as hope because He sends down water from the heaven and with it gives life to the earth after its death. There are lessons indeed in all this for people who use their brains and senses to observe and make proper sense of things. This verse tells us natural forces need to be understood by mankind properly as to what purposes they serve otherwise they strike fear in minds of people who are ignorant about them as to what they do and how they do it. Fear of unknown is very big destabilising factor whereby people fall into identity crisis. If people become aware of what something is, how it works and what purpose it serves or for what purposes it can be used then forces of nature can benefit humanity in a very big way. So ignorant people fear natural forces but wise people know how to make good use of them to ensure well being of mankind. A very big slap on faces of ignorant mullahs who hold humanity back from unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. 25] Also of His lessons to observe and learn from is continuous stable existence of the universe as well as the earth due to His program. Therefore in due course when He calls upon you by way of His invitation to come out of the earth, that is the time when you will come forth from the earth and spread out throughout the universe. These verses are telling mankind to get involved in observing and thereby learning how the universe and things in it work and when mankind have learned enough they will be able to copy things and invent things through their own creativity and so one day they will reach the stage of learning whereat they will find the way to leave this planet for elsewhere in the universe to learn more about the universal realities in order to make their existence yet more worthwhile for themselves in order to fulfil the purpose and plan of Allah for which he created all this and sent his messages for mankind. 26] All this so that mankind come to realise the fact that to Him belong all things that are in the heavens and the earth and all owe their existence and ability to work properly to faithful following of His program for them to fulfil His purpose. Word QAANITOON is from root QAAF, NOON and TAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a water skin that is full of water but not even a tiny drop of water escapes from it to go to waste. Also to use one’s energy or abilities properly and purposefully according to a proper action plan or program, to stick to the reference point candidly when doing something, to do something as required, to pay proper attention to it when doing something, to use one’s abilities carefully so that intended objective is achieved, to go by an action plan, to faithfully follow some rule of law, to do something in a proper way, to do something consistently or firmly or constantly or efficiently, things or people that stand to fulfil their assign task or purpose, a group of people that stands up to carry out some task, to obey, to go by, to adhere to, to stick with, to stop talking, to be obedient or submissive or humble or dedicated or committed, devoutness, piety, one standing long or constant in carrying out some assigned task, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense etc etc. The problem is not gradual or sudden development of things in the natural world but whether necessity of a creator can be provably negated or not. If yes then case closed but if not then case against it cannot be built at all and for as long as this remains the situation with this issue. The other main point is, proof and how does it prove a claim. The proof is merely a logically consistent explanation of available evidences for some claim. Merely having something concrete before us is not proof of its existence even if we keep banging our heads against it. It is possible that we have imagined it that way. It is then that we come up with explanations to prove whether our observation was true or false. So proof at the end of the day rests upon the best possible explanation of whatever we may have observed as a reality. If we fail to explain things sensibly then our claim remains unproven. So the claim that God does not exist is a false claim till mankind can prove it and they can never do so because it is impossible to do so as already explained in detail. On the other hand, it is possible to prove existence of God through logically consistent explanation which proves the fact that existence of God is a necessity not just a possibility. Not only that but if any scripture proves to be beyond human creation then that also concretes that explanation. Since the Quran is a book that proves to be such a book therefore existence of God is a provable reality. No philosopher can bring any better explanation for existence, purpose and working of the universe and no scientist can ever come up with any evidence against it. So people better learn sense of making proper sense of things and get on with what they are supposed to be doing for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind instead of trying to confuse each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. As explained already a reference point or some basis is fundamental point and that reference for deen of Islam is the Quran for this era. The Quran cannot be understood without a person having sense of making sense of things and sense of making sense of things cannot come unless a person observes things in real world carefully for trying to understand things. It is because to learn sense of making sense of things one hundred percent depends upon real world realities. Only after learning sense of making sense with help of real world realities one can perfect one's skills about thinking about things logically and consistently. Unless one realises importance of logic and consistency any conclusion one draws from anything may not be true. For example, in case of deen of Islam our foundation is the Quran and it is foundation only because it is a book that contains all necessary information for us human beings about all we need to know to have a great life in this world and to have a best hereafter. For having a beautiful life in this world mankind need some worthy goals and guidelines and a program that helps them accomplish those goals. This is why coming together of humanity becomes of vital importance and that is not possible without a proper constitution and law for proper organisation and regulation of humanity and the information provided in the Quran can fulfil that need perfectly if that is what mankind want. In other words the Quran is a revelation from the creator and sustainer for the universe for the mankind as a book to live by faithfully. To live by the Quran faithfully is impossible unless mankind first make proper sense of the book for themselves. Now if people live by the Quran then they become free of personality cults otherwise they do not. Living by the Quran means thinking and doing things according to the properly worked out instructions when it comes to dealing with each other as human beings regarding things in the universe. All people are equally bound by rule of law of God. In other words no one is above the law therefore when none is above the law then there does not rise or come about the thing called, personality cult, because each person does what he is assigned to do as his/her job or task or role in the scheme of things by the human brotherhood. When all do as they are told in order for the people to function properly as a proper human community then all things can work fine for each and every person as a part of a properly organised and regulated human community or ummah. People who have no sense of organisation and regulation therefore of importance of constitution and law or of a program for goals and guidelines therefore any action plans are mainly people who live as cultists. They follow the leadership independent of any proper reference point as explained already in a haphazard way. There is no logical consistency in their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. It is because the leadership has no goals therefore needs no guidelines because there is nothing to achieve or accomplish so people of this sort live on moment to moment basis in confusion and chaos. Such people are slaves of anything and everything because they have no proper sense of proper purpose. They go with their whims wherever they take them. This happens because when there is no proper sense of proper goals then one creates one's own goals based upon one's own desires and ambitions whatever they may be because otherwise to carry on living becomes impossible for a human being. People need something to keep them going if not the truth then falsehood will do. This is why each and every person interprets one's life in that context in order to live one way or the other. To put it simply, human beings are basically need driven because people are motivated by drives. If people have needs and they need to fulfil them then they must do so either as they should as guided or they will do so any way they can. If people will fulfil their needs in an organised and regulated manner as a proper human community or an ummah or a brotherhood, things will be fine but if they will do as they please then chaos and confusion is bound to result. The purpose of these explanations by God about the universal realties in the Quran is to help mankind understand that life can be very pleasant if it is lived according to guidance of Allah provided it is understood properly and followed faithfully. 27] It is because He is the one Who originated the creation and set-up systems and laws to reproduce and recycle things and to do all that was consistent with His plan and purpose. That is how through His creative ability He set the ultimate example of creativity in the heavens and the earth in form of creation of human beings and sending His revelation for them to consider with care and do what is proper for fulfilment of His purpose, because He is mighty wise ruler of this kingdom of the universe. The Quran in many verses explains natural world and also gives reason as to why Allah is explaining all this ie for careful consideration of mankind so that people also learn and do things that are creative in order to show their creative abilities which Allah has bestowed upon them. It is because unless people fist learn about themselves and other things they cannot know what is creative and what is not and can never realise the need for knowing about God and his purpose for creation and revelation to be sure about things. Failing that can only and only keep mankind in grip of their ignorance which means people continue living in painful suffering by hands of each other due to divisions, rivalries and animosities between themselves because of adopting the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other as explained in detail already. To live by a proper rule of law is important or chaos and confusion remains the order of the day regardless we like it or hate it. Without a proper rule of law, its proper understanding and faithful following divisions, rivalries, animosities, hatred and wars between mankind cannot be eliminated regardless how strong or how weak people are compared to each other. History is clear that none can enslave anyone for long because things change with time. Those strong today many of them can become weak tomorrow and those weak today many of them could become strong tomorrow so it is better for people to learn to live with each other according to a rule of law that is good for all instead of living by a biased rule of law that is put in place by the strong to abuse the weak. Here in these verses Allah is explaining the fact that despite he being such powerful being needing no help of anyone for his existence he needs his creation to fulfil his plan and purpose ie he needs partnership between himself and his creation and human beings otherwise his objective remains unfulfilled. He is therefore drawing attention of people to things they also must consider to do if they wish to attain a blissful, dignified and secure existence. This is why advantaged people must learn how to complement their disadvantaged fellow human beings and likewise the disadvantaged people must also consider complementing their fellow advantaged human beings so that all could live in peace and harmony and make progress and prosper as a complete family of human beings. 28] For that reason He puts to you the dominant people who claim to be rulers other than Allah a proposal as a lesson to consider to help you learn from and do things appropriate regarding your own terrible situations and circumstances in which you live your lives. Will you people therefore consider agreeing to let those whom you consider your subjects or your law bound people as your rightful partners according to Our rule of law for Our provisions for you so that you consider their participation in decision making as important as that of yourselves so that you could live in peace and harmony? This is how We explain Our goals and guidelines as lessons for those who wish to use their brains and senses properly to learn and understand things appropriately. Here Allah tells people you need each and everything provided to live your lives appropriately in order to fulfil the purpose for which you have been created. This means proper use of provisions including cooperation between people as a family. However, dominant or advantaged people just do not bother considering divine proposal. The result of that is human world remains in terrible state of existence. Elsewhere Allah makes it absolutely clear that it is up to mankind themselves to make each other see sense or all will remain in terrible state of existence due to being affected by each other because all human beings are interlinked and are interdependent. It is a situation like tug-of-war or a sea-saw situation whereby one side affects the other no matter what it does. So those who think people can mind their own business regarding each other are foolish to say the least or absolutely stupid who fail to see the connections between people which bind them together tightly. If one side heads towards the hell, the other is also pulled along which does not wish to go that way. This is why people end up fighting with each other and this war is not going to end till one or the other side wins the battle decisively and completely be it by power of knowledge or power of arms. However the side that prepares itself better for this war will win it in the end. People who found themselves upon the foundation of the Quran are bound to see through this war one day. It was all started with origin of human beings who were originally not that knowledgeable but over generations they learned a lot and from mere strength in numbers they became knowledgeable as well as strong. The coming time is for those who have better knowledge and can accomplish the most. Stupidity and weakness has no future so people of ummah must realise this fact if they wish to lead the world because they will have to become knowledgeable and strong. Instead of being PUJAARIES or worshippers of God people will need to become is true representers and partners in his objectivity. Allah is not looking for slaves but for friends in human shape. So people need to rise and turn like God as much as it is humanity possible for them rather than trying to bring God down to their level. 29] Yet despite Our explanations those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other follow their own harmful and destructive ambitions and desires without having any proper information or its proper understanding or realisation of the consequences of their such thoughts and actions towards each other. So who can guide such people who avoid guidance of Allah so Allah leaves them to themselves to lead themselves away from the way of life that is proper? This is why there cannot be any help and support for such people to free them from their such miserable way of life. When people have freedom to choose their way of life then all God could do was to give them things and guidance and leave them to do as they pleased to each other and face the consequences by hands of each other. So if people want to make their world a better place for themselves then they have no choice but to accept the way of life advised by Allah or continue living a miserable life as they have been for centuries. 30] So if any of you the mankind have learned sense to be a sensible people then be not of such like people and instead set yourselves firmly upon the way of life that is consistent for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind. The way of life originated and advised by Allah the one upon which He placed the mankind. So do not replace the way of life originated and advised by Allah for any other way of life. It is because that way of life is firmly founded yet most of the mankind bother not to learn about it. Word HANEEFAA is from root HAA, NOON and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is inclination of the toes to one side. Also to deviate or move away from a baseless and useless common practice, to abandon sheepish behaviour or herd mentality or practice, to leave or get away from common belief or practice, to incline towards the right or proper way of life, to adopt a way of life fit for the purpose one has in one’s mind, the true way of life or proper rule of law, the right path or an upright person or correct belief or practice, to abandon wrong mindset, attitude or behaviour and adopt right mindset, attitude and behaviour, to adopt the firmly founded way of life, to walk on a straight and a levelled path properly, to incline, to have desire for, to long for, to stop living by rule of law of anyone other than of God, to abandon false gods and turn to one true God, to distance oneself from something, to make oneself different from the rest in some sense, to give up polytheism for monotheism, fence or something like a fence in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense etc etc. Word FITRAT is from root FAA, TWAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something original. Also something genuine or proper, the way something naturally is, something fit for its intended purpose, to do something the very first time, to tear or rend or split, nature, instinct, to crack open, fungi, to bring out, to originate or create or fashion, to break the fast or silence, to start a conversation, to initiate a course of action, to split apart, genesis of creation, the original unadulterated nature of things, natural disposition, flaw or defect or fault or inadequacy or inconsistency, to fall short of requirement or specification, a set standard, to rent apart, gulf or gap or distance, something difference or distinct, laws of nature, a reference point, a centre of attention or focal point, divine rule of law, something new, a novelty, to be in pristine state of existence, to suffer no change or alteration, 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. 31] So turn to His advised way of life and be consistent with it by establishing a proper human community network and do not be of those who take for rulers other than Allah, Word MUNEEBEEN is from root NOON, WOW and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to keep returning to something in some sense. Also to take turns, to go back, to visit, to refer to, to revert, to be the same again, to do the same again and again, reference point or goal or destination, a place of return, a situation that repeats itself, to repent, to stop doing something, to retrace one’s steps, to go back to original state, to go back to original place, to be a deputy, to deputise, to be an assistant, to assist, to help or support, to stand in place of, to authorise, to represent, an affliction or a calamity or disaster, a seizure or shock, a hardship or trouble or difficulty, poverty or disease, to turn to, to pay attention to, to have or show concern for, to be mindful of, a shift or change or movement, to replace, honey bee, a way to water source for quenching thirst, a way to satisfy or fulfil one’s need, to appoint an attorney, a focal point, a sanctuary or refuge, to remain focused on the objective or goal or purpose, to not to lose sight of perspective or context, to work towards or according to something, rule of law, constitution, tradition, ways and means, some sort of linking mechanism between things, fish or something like a fish in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense etc etc. 32] nor be of those who create and adopt their own harmful and destructive ways of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other in opposition to the way of life that is proper and end up divided into groups, each group fulfilling its selfish desires with whatever they can grab for themselves whereby they land each other into terrible painful suffering. Word FARIHOON is from root FAA, RAA and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a feeling of expansion in mind. Also ecstatic state of mind, a feeling of freedom in some sense, to be happy or joyful or lighted, a state of being transported by a lofty emotion, rapture, ecstasy, the state of mind resulting from feeling of high emotion, an expression of a lofty emotion, an outburst due to high emotion, conceit, pride, ungratefulness, affliction, to rejoice, to exult proudly, to gloat, to strut, to walk with pompous bearing, to swagger, to make a display to impress others, self important gait, to behave boastfully or arrogantly, to give oneself f airs, to feel puffed up, to feel dominant, to show off, to behave in an ostentatious manner, to feel full of oneself, to act coquettishly, to have feeling of self importance, to feel big, feeling of haughtiness, to be overly positive about oneself, to have more regard for oneself than due, undue favourable estimation of one’s own abilities, to value oneself more than one is actually worth, to overestimate oneself, exaggeration, to show bias, to deceive, to have false reputation or spread false information about oneself or someone else, to scheme or plot, to go beyond what is proper, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense etc etc. 33] However when painful suffering befalls these people by hands of each other for doing that, some of them invite others to the way of life of their Creator and Sustainer turning to His guidance for freedom from this situation but when He leads them to blissful, dignified and secure existence through His advised way of life, a party of them goes back to the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other against the way of life advised by their Creator and Sustainer 34] so that they could withhold from each other that with which We have provided them for their sustenance. So enjoy your personal gains at the expense of each other and soon again you will come to know the consequences for doing things that way. 35] Or have We sent them any proof of authority that authorises them to take for rulers other than Us whereby they are obligated to live by their invented and imposed ways of life? 36] Behold! When We let mankind experience blissful, dignified and secure existence due to faithfully following Our advised way of life they become joyful due to it but when harms and destructions befall them by hands of each other due to doing things according to their own invented and adopted ways of life they fall into despair. 37] Can they therefore not realise that Allah delivers sustenance in abundance to a people who work hard for it as a proper human community according to His advised way of life and limits it for those who live by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other? Surely there are lessons in all this to learn from for those who wish to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. In these verses the Quran leaves people in no doubt as to what it is talking about ie how people should organise and regulate themselves as a community for fulfilling their needs and wants and why. A very hard slap on faces of mullahs, money lenders and rulers who say God has nothing to do with society, politics and economics. It shows who invented and imposed religions upon masses and how or why. It is time masses educated themselves and brought these vultures and bloodsuckers to their senses. It is made clear that Allah has created all and people have been provided with all they will ever need along with guidance so the rest is up to people to do for themselves with help and support of each other ie to produce and distribute goods and services freely at the points of need and in time. Any mechanism used by some people to abuse others such as money etc is strictly forbidden because according to the Quran nothing belongs to anyone other than Allah therefore none has the right to own anything so none has anything to sell to anyone nor can one buy anything to own. People have been given right to have things and to use them as per wishes of their creator and sustainers to whom they belong. If one people will use their tricks and mechanism which suit them to take away God given rights of others then they too have automatic right to do whatever suits them to get even as explained in detail already. So if people want to live in peace and harmony with each other then they cannot afford to be stupid for much longer to live on the basis of personal gains at the expense of each other. 38] So deliver Our provided sustenance to all concerned according to their set rights be they people who have become well established part of the proper human community or are on the way to become part of it. That is an assignment for those who intend to accomplish the mission of Allah because such are the people who are bound to be successful in their objective. It is of vital importance that people pay special attention to use of word HAQQAH in this verse as well as elsewhere. It is because it means God has set rights for people according to his law. So anyone who thinks deen of Islam is not about legal or constitutional rights of people is a person who is as good as a brainless person. A clear proof that deen of Islam is basically about society, politics and economics. If all people have sufficient dignified and secure livelihood to begin with then all the rest will be fine also. Those who put obstacles in the way of this are the people who are declared enemies of God and humanity therefore those who work towards this goal with all due sincerity are saints according to the book of Allah. 39] Beware! That which you give to each other on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other so that some of you could profit by inflicting losses on others through whatever people have or do, does not lead to development and progress therefore prosperity of mankind as a proper human community in light of guidance of Allah but that which you give to each other on basis of help and support as a brotherhood in order to help each other develop and progress therefore prosper intending to accomplish the mission of Allah then such people are bound to gain many folds in return as a proper human community. This verse very clearly forbids buying and selling of things or using any method for undue exploitation of people by each other. It forbids lending for profit in two ways a)lending money on fixed rate of profit eg a person cannot lend 100 dollars at 10% per annum to another and b)business partnership on basis of one person using his capital and the other his labour eg a person cannot buy a piece of land and let another work in it and be a 50% shareholder in the profit or to hand over money to someone else to use it to employ others to make profit for the investor such as shares in companies. Such business partnerships make things worse than low fixed rate interests on capital. This goes against spirit of brotherhood that people profit from crisis of each other using the mechanism of money or something of value or goods or services. In this verse by putting words RIBAA and ZAKAAH side by side in contrast to each other God is telling us that these are two economic systems that are opposite of each other. The RIBAA system is based upon private businesses of individuals or groups for profit at the expense of others but ZAKAAH system is based upon community service to meet needs of all in the community. This also brings under question all private business partnerships for profit instead of community partnerships for meeting needs of community as a whole. In RIBAA based economic system profit comes before well being of people that is why all such systems cause divisions among people because some use and abuse others for profit or making money but in ZAKAAH based economic system well being of people is the fundamental goal therefore use and abuse cannot come into it due to system itself. This needs much more and better understanding and detailed explanation by ummah if it is to succeed in getting itself rid of RIBAA based economic system. The concept of private ownership is missing in the Quran because all things belong to Allah and he has given everything to everyone as a right so all must be accommodated by each other and that is why it ensures spirit of brotherhood or ummah or family. In a way humanity is given everything by God to use it in such a way that no human being is left out of its benefits. So long as human community as a whole happily decides how it is going to meet needs of all its members that is fine according to the Quran but if anyone is left out by anyone then all are in breach of agreement with God. The basis is meeting the needs of all people in a dignified and secure way. This needs proper organisation, planning and execution by community so that it is an efficient community, so efficient that it produced much more than its needs to meet all eventualities and emergencies without any problems. This is why the Quran advises that it keeps its population under check and tight control so that it does not reproduce at a rate it cannot cater for efficiently. This population control is not about killing of people for keeping profits high but since Allah has placed responsibility of doing everything on people themselves for meeting their own needs therefore it is they who will have to decide together as a community how large human population they can cope with. In this context family planning is fine because it is according to the Quran. It is not a case of rich and powerful people forcing poor and weak people not to have children so that world could be inherited by their future generations alone. Moreover to meet needs of people is just a means to getting ready to explore the universe because the purpose of creation as told in the Quran is not just eat, work and sleep or live to eat and eat to live but to take over the universe in due course and that is not possible unless people get ready for it and make meaningful efforts towards that end so that people could come to see for themselves the creative abilities of their creator and sustainer by themselves. Therefore humanity has yet to accomplish so many great things to show its full potential that God has placed in it for his own reasons as he has explained in the Quran. All this needs community of a people who have what it takes to fulfil it. Elsewhere the Quran declares war against people who abuse others for their personal gains at their expense. Time for people to wake up and see what they are doing to each other and why. They are holding humanity back from unity, peace, progress and prosperity due to their stupidity. People have needs and unless those needs are met they cannot survive so anything that helps them survive they try to get it and hold on to it in order to ensure their survival for longer. This is why any mechanism people use for survival value becomes the target for people to get it. Since people have invented money concept as a survival value therefore all are after money because without money they cannot have or do things that they need to have or do in order to survive. This is why people go to any length in order to get money or anything they consider of value for themselves. In doing so people forget that they are human beings ie they have brains and senses far superior to any other kind of living beings and that they are emotional creatures. This creates many problems for humanity as a whole. It is because people are thinking beings and they are interlinked and interdependent so when some of them inflict harms and destruction upon each other for personal gains at each other’s expense many of them do not feel good about it. This is why there are always reactions to whatever people do to each other and each group gains many sympathisers depending upon who or which group is on the wrong side of the fence in the eyes of masses. However the problem is not only false portrayal of facts by the main stream mass media but also massive ignorance of the masses who could be easily manipulated by rulers, money lenders and mullahs. So long as masses can be fooled that easily things are unlikely to change much for the better. The main point regarding RIBAA is that Allah and his messenger ar at war with people who live by this economic system instead of living by the economic system called ZAKAAH. The seriousness of this matter needs to be realised from the fact that it is not a crime against an individual by another individual within the state but a crime against the state itself or the humanity itself at a wider scale. No one declares war against anyone in a state just for committing a crime against another individual but this is crime against humanity as a whole and that is why the Quran declares war against such people who live by such an economic system. No wonder this surah is called AL-ROOM because it is about use and abuse of some people by others for sake of power and wealth. This verse and others with it elsewhere in the Quran clearly explain why so called Muslims are so far away from the real way of life called deen of Islam by the Quran. Islam means peace but people cannot have peace if they are going to unduly exploit each other or use each other abusively. Undue exploitation or use and abuse of people by each other is bound to lead them to fights and wars amongst themselves. The very fact that Muslims are supposed to be an ummah means they cannot be Muslims unless they live by deen of Islam and that means not living by any way of life that is based upon use and abuse of each other. Use and abuse is based upon dishonesty, cheating, stealing, lying, deceiving, looting, plundering etc etc. So people who claim to be honest and trustworthy yet live by a way of life whereby they use and abuse each other then they are lying to themselves and each other about their honesty and trustworthiness. Odd crime of robbery is very different from living on the basis of ill-gotten gains as a way of life. After all one has to ask what is ill gotten gain? It is taking of things from others in ways which make life impossible or at least very difficult for others. This is what the Quran is addressing when it talks about RIBAA. It is has nothing at all to do with bank interest because the bank itself is an institution of exploitation. So the discussion and debate about shariah complaint banking are all nothing more than conning tricks to trap ignorant Muslims in the name of Islam by the money lenders, their touts and supporters. This exposes mullahs as well as to how they are used by money lenders to fool their people in the name of religion. The rulers are exposed as to how they work for money lenders instead of their masses. Unless masses wake up and unite and then together pull the rug from underneath the feet of money lenders, world is not going to change for ensuring well being of humanity any time soon. This is why there is utmost need for education based revolution. If people decide to live for each other and give up craze for money and owning things and organise and regulate themselves according to the Quranic road map then world could become a paradise within a generation of people. Failing that bloody revolutions are bound to continue and crime rates throughout the world are going to continue staying very high. That is because biased programmes, constitutions and laws cannot bring about a fair world that could ensure well being of mankind as a proper human community. A clear proof that rulers, money lenders and mullahs are playing with emotions of people by telling them a lot of lies to keep them in confusion and chaos. Yet other point this verse makes is gaining much more than people invent by their labour. This is true as already explained in full detail ie when people work as one the damage they could to each other as rivals saves them from a lot of trouble. The times and energy they could use to dominate each other by undermining each other could now be used constructively. When people instead of holding each other down hold each other up, instead of reaching the pit of hell they can reach the heights of bliss. During wars people destroy things so nothing grows and people end up starving but in time of peace and stability fields become full of greenery and there is plenty for everyone to enjoy. This is why promises of Allah are not mere empty words. However one need to have sense of making sense of things to understand the message of the Quran. 40] So remember, Allah is He who has originated and evolved you the mankind for His own purpose and provided you with sustenance therefore He leaves you to perish if you do not follow His guidance faithfully regarding His provisions but brings you to life if you follow His advice so is there any of your rulers other than Allah who can do this? His set-up systems and laws are constantly at work throughout the universe to manifest glory of Allah far above those whom they take for their rulers other than Him. Allah has given people KITAAB=program, constitution and law for goals to accomplish as well as HIKMAH=ability to reason things out logically consistently in order to be able to live their lives properly according to the book as an organised and regulated community. He has provided people with things and advice for their proper use as well as told them the purpose for doing all this. It is therefore up to people to learn and understand things and organise and regulate themselves into a proper human community to use things for the purpose they have been provided. Failing in that can only lead mankind to their own downfall from graceful state of existence. 41] There has appeared open warfare between mankind in the land and in the sea because of what people thought and did against each other so that they experience the consequences of some of what they did against each other so that they come back to Our guidance. 42] Say, travel throughout the world and observe carefully what was the end of those who have passed away before you, that is most of them lived by ways of life invented and promoted by others than Allah. 43] Therefore set yourselves as a people faithfully upon the way of life that is founded firmly before the arrival of the time which is otherwise inevitable according to Allah. At that time mankind will become divided into two distinct groups. Word YASSADDAOON is from root SWAAD, DAAL and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to cause a break in something solid. Also to cause a hairline crack, to cause a split in something in some sense, the opening up of something, the splitting of a piece of wood at one end with a wedge in it so that it cannot join together again after the split, to cause a gap or difference or rift or conflict between a group of people, to separate from one another, soft tracks on hard terrain, point of an arrow head, to split something into half and half, headache, a headache that is splitting apart one’s head, to leave alone, to avoid, to move away from, to explain something in detail, to become split up, to become divided or separated, to become enemies, chaos or confusion, to divide into bits and pieces, destruction for reconstruction, to destroy something to make something out of it or in its place, to replace something by process of destruction and reconstruction, to cleave, to disperse or scatter, to traverse, to cross from one side to another, to journey, fissure, cleavage, standing out, to comply with, to attain to, to reveal, to distinguish between, to make the difference, to fragment, hangover, to collapse, to rent asunder, fault line, fault or defect or flaw, splitting of ground due to ploughing or sprouting plants or earthquakes, tree or something like a tree in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense etc etc. In these verses it is made very clear what is going to be the end result for people who will faithfully follow guidance of Allah and those who will not. One people will end up in a universal kingdom based upon guidance of Allah as a proper human community and the other party will end up utterly destroyed by hands of each other due to divisions it will create within itself which will lead it to hatred and wars within. 44] That is how those who will reject and oppose Our guidance will face the consequences of their rejection and opposition to it in form of harms and destructions by hands of each other but those who will do things that help humanity unite, develop, progress and prosper will have a beautiful vast kingdom to themselves to live in as a proper human community 45] so that He rewards those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and they take steps faithfully towards blissful, dignified and secure existence according to His advice or guidance. Surely He loves not those who reject and oppose His guidance to inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. 46] Therefore one of His lessons to observe and learn from is that He sends the winds as bearers of good news of rain for growth and prosperity of mankind so that He lets you have an opportunity to put in action His program for your blissful, dignified and secure existence and so that ships could sail according to His set-up system and law so that you could seek your livelihood in a dignified manner according to His guidance by using all that is provided appropriately. In these verses Allah is clarifying some fundamental issues for humanity. He is making it amply clear that mankind own nothing at all because all is created by Allah but mankind are free to use all that is provided for the benefit of humanity. This puts Islam at odds with capitalism repeatedly because Islam forbids personal gain at the expense of human community. The argument remains the very same against communism that even the government has no right to own anything because all is created by God and that mankind only qualify to use it if they use it according to his provided program that fulfils his reason for creating this world. In other words none is given the right to use anything at all in an abusive way or all those who use things abusively and those who support them are committing crimes against God and humanity. In order to stop this God has set-up checking and balancing system with a range beyond which things cannot go. This is why when people go the wrong way humanity ends up divided and then some take on others and wars begin with no end in sight unless mankind turn to book of God and see where they have gone wrong and correct themselves. So people must never lose sight of purpose of God for which he created them and the systems, structures, procedures, practices, processes, mechanisms and laws etc put in place for ensuring that mankind keep going in the right direction because if they ignore all this then there is no end to troubles mankind will create for themselves. This is the whole point for which God sent prophets and books. This is why mankind are given such capable brains and senses as well as bodies that fit the divine purpose for them. No other explanation for existence of humanity makes as good a sense as explained very clearly by the Quran. In other words all things are set to work towards a particular end people need to realise that and get on with it. 47] That is why We sent before you messengers to their respective people and they brought them clear goals and guidelines from Us in order to help them live the proper way and to keep in check those who commit crimes against humanity because We owe it as a part of Our binding agreement to those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind that We support them. Allah has made it absolutely clear that if people will go by guidance of Allah then he too will go by his guidance and fulfil his part of covenant. This is why people who declare their commitment to mission or cause of Allah must take steps to fulfil their promise or declaration by their deeds as well otherwise their declaration means nothing more than a deception to act as wolves in sheep clothing. In this verse we are told very clearly that people were sent guidance for two reasons a)to know the proper way of life properly and follow it faithfully as it ought to be followed and b)to keep an eye on others who are opportunists ready to commit crimes against humanity. This means people are free to believe whatever they like but they cannot be let free to do anything to each other which harms or destroys them so human safety and security is paramount as for as God is concerned. This is why anyone regardless one claims to be a Muslim or a nonMuslim cannot be harmed by anyone within the kingdom of God that is truly based upon guidance of Allah. Likewise anyone regardless one claims to be a Muslim or a nonMuslim who works against the kingdom of God in such a way that one endangers its safe existence is bound to be taken as a traitor and is to be punished accordingly for treason as is decided by the ummah at the time in light of the Quran. 48] Surely it is Allah Who by way of set-up systems and laws sends the winds to raise the clouds and then He spreads them in the heaven and breaks them into fragments as per His program so you see raindrops falling from their midst at the time when He showers this as rain upon those of His people who need it so they become filled with joy, Here and elsewhere the Quran explains the rain cycle instead of telling us it is all a magical trick by God. Throughout the Quran Allah tells us he is a great planner and executer of his plans. He has set up systems and structures, mechanism and procedure to carry on working as planned to fulfil the intended purposes according to set laws of nature. This is why all works out fine in the natural world and that he uses as evidence to draw human attention to so that people also follow his advised way of life and have a wonderful life experience. 49] though before falling of this rain upon them they sat there in despair suffering from anxiety. 50] So look at the self evident clues of Allah’s existence, creation and sustenance in the form of phenomena of natural universe and learn to make sense of them and thereby realise how He gives life to the earth after it is dead. Surely the same way by inspiring people with His revelation He gives life to a human population that is dead because He has put in place measures for working of all things. Allah brings to life dead nations by inspiring them with motivational ideas and that is why revelation of Allah is a life giving things just like water gives life to living things in the natural world. All this has been explained already in detail. It is again worth mentioning for reminder that the verses of the Quran have parallel complementary meanings. In these verses and elsewhere it is made clear by the Quran that working of the natural world is explained for various reasons including the reason that people save themselves from becoming victims of natural world eg earthquakes, floods, lightening, thunder, hailstones, storms etc etc. Allah explains things so that people come to know the world has been created by someone highly intelligent and that the world did not come to existence all by itself. Also so that people learn to understand things and then learn to do them themselves as well so that that helps them become creative minds to be able to accomplish what Allah has created them for, so description of universal realities in the Quran serves various purposes for Allah and humanity. The main reason for guidance of Allah for mankind is so that people use the universe and things in it properly so that purpose of Allah for creating the universe and people becomes fulfilled. In other words in verses like these Allah is telling people that there is a purpose based partnership between Allah and his creation as well as human beings whereby if each party worked according to plan of Allah then things will lead to a particular end result that Allah wants as an outcome. This is why proper social, political and economic organisation and regulation is of utmost importance for mankind because unless humanity solves its existence problem first all else will Allah wants mankind to do will have to wait. It is because first thing comes first and for humanity its survival is most important before it could think about any other higher goals. This is why the sooner people learn to live with each other sensibly they can start doing what needs to be done. The more people act senselessly the more hard time humanity will have and the longer it will take for humanity to reach fulfilment of its purpose that Allah has set for it. 51] Despite Our all this work if We send a wind which turns their crop yellow ready for harvesting behold, they become stubborn in their rejection and opposition to Our guidance and prevent each other from having the rightful access to it. Here Allah is explaining what he does for people and what they do to each other despite his explanation of things in detail for them. Here and elsewhere Allah tells people, all belongs to him alone so none has the right to anything unless one follows his guidance and uses things properly ir for the purpose he is given the access to things. Despite this some people ie rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters take over the world by force and stop others from having access to necessities of life. This is how such people interfere with program, constitution and law of God giving an open right to people against themselves to do whatever is necessary to these people to take control of things back from them and open up things for benefit of whole of mankind for ensuring well being of humanity. 52] O messenger, you cannot inspire with this Quran a dead or an unthinking people nor make a people deaf hear your invitation especially when such people have turned their backs on you and have distanced themselves from you, 53] nor can you guide those suffering from blindness of ignorance out of their wrong way of life when they refuse to see or learn to know the right way of life for them. No one bothers to hear your invitation save such as realise the need for Our guidance for them and that is why they commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind for accomplishing Our set goals for them according to Our provided guidelines. Verses like these tell us categories of people and that proper human beings are only those who are self aware, aware of universal realities and aware of divine will as well as act upon what they know to accomplish their set goals as per divine guidance. 54] It is Allah Who has created you the mankind in a state of total dependency on others as babies then He gave you strength to come out of that dependency to some degree in youth and made others dependent upon you and then after strength again returns you to state of dependency on others when you have heads full of grey hair in old age. He created all things as per His plan for His own purpose that is why He makes known to mankind the measures He put in place. These like verses are reasons that mankind must come together as a proper human community for a blissful life otherwise people will suffer as babies and as grown up adults and as elderly folks. So painful suffering is not only relevant to rich and poor, men and women but also to whole of humanity. This is why proper organisation and regulation of humanity is absolutely necessary and cannot be escaped without suffering the serious consequences. So there is no point in living a life of misery and painful suffering when there is better way of life for mankind to live by. This is why nations rise or fall because they lack firm basis for unity and good program to follow. When lazy and crazy people increase in numbers or take over lead of nations then things only go downhill. If people keep going downhill then there comes a time when tipping point is reached and then such people make silly excuses eg we did not get enough time so we could not do this or that. All this because time is wasted when people get involved with each other in silly arguments and cannot pay attention to what they ought to be doing in the time that is available to them. 55] In due course when time period of upheavals becomes a reality the people in positions of power who commit crimes against humanity will become seriously worries all of a sudden about their future because they will have dwelled on the thought that this moment of uprising against them will never come in their lives that they will lose their positions of power due to always making excuses they will have done this, that or the other if they had enough time to do things for ensuring well being of mankind. That is how they will have kept deluding themselves and their people. 56] But those who are given knowledge because they will have made effort for it and are therefore trustworthy will say to them at the time, the fact is you have stayed in positions of power as told in the book of Allah till the time period of uprising and this is that period of uprising about which you were warned already but you people did not bother to become aware about it as you were supposed to. 57] So on that day no excuses of theirs will avail those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other nor will they be able to stop their downfall. One can see why this surah is named AL-ROOM because it deals with power struggle between various groups of people in the world. These groups will one day become utterly defeated by each other and mankind will have no way out of this other than to give proper attention to the way of life advised by Allah. This is how one day deen of Allah will become a reality worldwide. 58] The fact is We have set forth every kind of reality based lessons for mankind to learn from through this Quran but whatever lessons you may bring those who reject and oppose Our guidance they are sure to say without seriously considering the message, you are preaching nothing but falsehood. 59] This is why Allah leaves such people to themselves because they isolate themselves from His provided information and its proper understanding. 60] However remain steadfast and consistent with your mission because promise of Allah will certainly come to pass so do not let those who themselves have no firm way of life to live by lead you away from it. Surah 31 LUQMAAN- A person who has learned sense to make sense of real world realities as well as of guidance of Allah and helps others to become sensible and wise This surah is named LUQMAAN from roots LAAM, QAAF and MEEM and LAAM, QAAF, MEEM and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is a person who has learn to be wise himself and helps others to be wise. Also a person who observes things for purpose of learning from them, a person who has learned to reason and explain things, a person who becomes a rational thinker on basis of his own life experiences, a person capable of properly understanding divine revelation, to swallow something, to gobble up, a morsel or mouthful of food, to hand-feed, to obstruct, a person endowed with wisdom, a person to whom God sends his revelation, a wise man, a person who practices medicine or knows cures for illnesses, a person who explains things rationally, a person who learns or teaches philosophy behind something, and interpret of ideas or facts, to be a keen observer or a deep thinker, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense etc etc. This surah is named LUQMAAN not because it uses word LUQMAAN in it but due to subject matter that is discussed in it. This surah mainly discusses importance of wisdom and rationality for an individual so that one could understand divine revelation and play an effective role in community building by helping others to become wise. Luqmaan is said to be name of a person who became a wise person and advised others to be wise so that there could come about a properly organised and regulated human society in a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. From the context of this surah it seems Luqmaan was an ordinary person who acted upon divine revelation as one ought to as an individual. If he was a prophet, there is no clear evidence of that in the Quran other than he has been granted HIKMAH. Nonetheless it is the lesson from this story that is important and not the detailed knowledge about the person. This is why the Quran only tells us things that are important for mankind to know and not those which if not known make no difference. From the context of surah it seems Luqmaan was leader of a nation just like Zulqarnain but not of as large community as Zulqarnain. Perhaps the Quran tells mankind that you do not necessarily have to be a prophet of God to accomplish great things for the benefit of humanity. This defeats the idea that people who are not prophets of God cannot do great things. If that had been the case then the prophets could not be good examples for mankind because the example has to be such that could be tried and tested. This does not mean an ordinary person can do each and everything the prophets did but all that for which one is held accountable. This surah explains set-up divine systems and laws in much greater detail and the rationality behind all this in order to make people realise that superstition, myths, mysteries, make beliefs and ritualism are not the way to go because that in fact turns human beings into worse than animals. Only and only observation of nature for understanding it can lead mankind to dignified and prosperous life as a community on the basis provided by the divine guidance. The religious debates between sects and religions are settled very nicely in this surah on the basis of proper understanding of deen. All those who argue on basis of their make beliefs are totally defeated by context of this surah. No wonder the Quran is book of wisdom and settles dispute that people think cannot be settled provided people have learned to understand information properly and to use it sensibly. It is because people do not read the Quran on basis of knowledge that is needed for understanding the Quran that they have no idea what the actual message of the Quran is for them. They are enslaved through religious make beliefs by their priesthood or clergies or mullahs so they read the Quranic text through their religion based knowledge in isolation from real world realities so they see the Quran as a bundle of nonsense jumbled together. They do not realise that they should study the Quran on its own in light of universal realities by trying to make sense of it bit by bit and piece by piece. People must learn the rule that the Quran interprets itself because it discusses various things in different places for different reasons. In each place things must fit together nicely and then overall they should come together nicely complementing each other. They should not be contradicting within each surah and then each surah contradicting all the rest of them and the Quran as a whole contradicting the self evident universal realities. God did not give mankind the Quran to try and understand it in complete isolation because that is simply impossible to do, after all we learn things through our life experiences which cannot be other than interaction with things within universal realities. All this has been explained in detail so I will leave it at that. This surah is mainly about creative ability of God which is pointed out repeatedly for observation of mankind and then used as evidence that he is equally capability of guiding humanity that is why mankind should turn to his guidance if they wish to have as blissful, dignified and secure life for themselves as a proper human community in a kingdom that has learned at least this much sense to realise this point. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] Alif Laam Meem. 2] These are verses of the book of wisdom What is meant by words KITAABIL HAKEEM? These words contain the whole concept the Quran wants to convey about the way of life called deen of Islam. It is about wisdom for organisation and regulation of humanity as a proper human community. Wisdom is about making sense of things or putting information or things together in such a way that they make sense or work for a particular end. Allah has created things for a set purpose and that purpose cannot become a reality unless things are organised and regulated towards that end. So word book means everything the Quran stands for eg goals and guidelines, program, constitution and law. It is because without goals there is nothing for people to work towards and when there are goals for people to accomplish then there have to be guidelines so that they help people towards accomplishment of those goals. Since working together of people needs organisation and regulation of people into a proper human community hence the need for constitution and laws. However nothing can work till people have a program to follow and an action plan. Each of these needs to be consistent within itself as well as with all the rest because any conflict within any of these or in between them will prove fatal and the whole thing will fall apart. This is why the Quran tells people to be consistent with the guidance of Allah as well as with each other. The wording the Quran uses in its verses is as precise as it is possible. Each word has various complementary meanings in order for people to think about things thoroughly with care. There are so many verses in the Quran telling people to think or use sense. Not only that there are also verses that tell people don’t be ignorant fools. So one can see how much emphasis the Quran places on literacy, education and training, so that people have skills to think, plan and do things properly that need thinking, planning and doing. 3] which is a guide towards blissful, dignified and secure existence for those who wish to make their world a beautiful place, 4] such as wish to work towards establishing a proper human community network to attain growth and prosperity because they are determined to create a brilliant future for themselves as a proper human community. 5] Such are the people who are properly based upon guidance from their Creator and Sustainer therefore they are bound to prosper. The Quran repeatedly uses word MUFLIHOON which is basically an agricultural terminology or farming language. It is because the Quran is about survival and prosperity of humanity. Just as a farmer buries seeds in the ground in the hope that they will grow and bring much bigger return generation after generation of crops so humanity will live on generation after generation and with brilliant future if it followed the way of life advised by Allah. There is no doubt that humanity will survive as promised by Allah but it is question of whether it will have a brilliant existence or a terribly sad existence. Allah promises brilliant existence but not till people see sense and do things sensibly. 6] However among the mankind are such as go for baseless traditional ways of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other instead of the way of life based upon guidance of their Creator and Sustainer in order to lead people away from the way of life advised by Allah due to lack of knowledge about it because of which they take the way of life advised by Allah for a joke. Such are the people who are bound to end up in a terrible painful suffering by hands of each other. 7] This is the reason when Our goals and guidelines are proclaimed to any group of such people it turns away due to seeking dominance over others as if it did not hear them or as if its sense of hearing is blocked, however keep warning them about the life of painful suffering by hands of each other that can become a reality for them if these people will keep on ignoring this message. 8] However those who will commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and will do such works as help humanity unite, develop, progress and prosper such are bound to end up in kingdoms full of all kinds of blessings 9] wherein they will abide for as long as they will faithfully keep up with Our guidance. The promise of Allah always proves true because He is mighty wise ruler of this kingdom as is obvious through His set-up systems and laws according to which all things in this universe work. 10] He evolved all the galaxies without any pillars that you can see and likewise through set-up systems and laws He raised mountains on the earth lest it becomes unsuitable for your survival and scattered throughout the world all kinds of animals. Moreover We rain down water from the heaven whereby We bring forth every kind of growth including fruits and vegetables that help mankind live a life of dignity and prosperity. 11] Say, all this is creativity of Allah now show Me what is there that has been created by those whom you take for your rulers other than Him therefore you live by their chosen way of life? The fact is those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other are living by a harmful and destructive way of life which is self evident due to its results. The Quran keeps discussing the difference between two ways of life for mankind repeatedly making it very clear what is good about the way of life advised by Allah and why and what is bad about the way of life dominant or advantaged people want all others to adopt and why. It also explains again and again the fact that all creation is work of Allah alone and not of anyone else so none has the right to rule this kingdom of the universe other than him therefore all must learn to live by his rule of law. 12] That is why We gave Luqmaan the ability to learn wisdom so that he manages provision of Allah properly according to His guidance because any leadership and following that manages provided things properly develops and progresses properly as a proper human community itself but any leadership and following that rejects and opposes Our guidance and misuses Our provided things fails to develop and progress properly as a proper human community itself because way of life advised by Allah is amply sufficient to manifest glory of Allah. 13] This is why at the time of his departure Luqmaan said to his successor in form of an advice for him, O son of my nation, never take for a ruler other than Allah. For taking any ruler other than Allah leads mankind to commiting gross atrocities against each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. This situation occurred at the end of prophetic life of each and every prophet that he bequeathed his legacy to his successors or followers advising them to remain steadfast on the way of life advised by Allah. The same happened when the time of departure came for the final messenger of Allah. He gathered most of his followers and advised them similarly ie to hold onto book of Allah and each other as a brotherhood of humanity. As explained already in the Quranic context people who hold onto book of Allah are called people of household of the prophet because they inherit the legacy of the prophet as a people in a kingdom. AHLAL BAIT means people of the house or kingdom of the prophet ie the Quran is a constitution that provides sanctuary for mankind to build their community upon this base or foundation and bring about a kingdom wherein people could live in peace and harmony with plenty to fulfil their needs and desires in a dignified way. It is because all people in the ummah are supposed to be bound together by having God given rights against each other. This is why each and every person must work to the best of one’s ability for producing and distributing things of need for all and each and every person has the right to take according to one’s needs or the best ummah can provide. 14] He said so to his successor because We so advised man about his guardians in form of community and its administration, because his community carried his burden of responsibilities working twice as hard in order to prepare him both as a productive member of the proper human community and as a competent administrator of the community, so that you use My provisions properly according to My guidance for proper maintenance of your community and administration. These verses explain how leaders and followers or parents and children should work together to be a success story as an example for coming generations to follow. If administrations and communities work hard according to a program based upon solid foundation then there is no chance of failure for such people. Likewise there is little chance of success for such leaders and followers which are inconsistent with each other because they do not have a program based upon solid foundation to unite them and inspire them to work sensibly and hard towards a worthy common goal. 15] If your community or administration tries to force you to take for a ruler other than Me about which you have no proof then do not go along with them but be a good company for them pushing them for doing things that ensure well being of mankind in this world by carry on following the path of such a people who keep referring to My guidance. After all, all of you the mankind should be turning to My guidance so that I thereby inform you about all that you should be doing for ensuring your well being. Here it is made very clear that Allah does not misguide people and wants the best for them therefore he has provided them with his guidance. Allah wants the best for humanity in this world before he awards them in hereafter as well for trying to create a beautiful world for themselves and that is why he provided people with his guidance in particular. The Quranic concept of God is very different from religious concepts of God even in case of mullahs who claim to be followers of the Quran. These verses also shed light on what jihad concept is all about in the Quranic context. Nowhere Allah divides people for sake of dividing them on basis of make beliefs and useless rituals but tells divided humanity to come together as a single brotherhood of humanity and work for the well being of humanity as a proper human community. This is why people who attribute all sorts of nonsense to God need to think as to what they are doing and why. Here it is made absolutely clear that if any of the people try to cause divide within humanity do not let them do that instead work hard for unity between mankind for sake of peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. The Quran is basically about humanity to begin with and then about God. So if people are not good human beings they cannot serve purpose of God either. 16] This is why Luqman said to his successor, O my successor! Allah will bring all things to your attention that you should be doing if you will turn to His guidance, be they of little importance like a mustard seed and hidden as if inside a rock or high above in the heavens or deep down inside the earth. All this is in the guidance of Allah because He is well aware of all things to their finest details. 17] Therefore O my successor! Keep established community network based upon His guidance encouraging whatever ensures well being of the proper human community and discouraging whatever can harm and destroy the proper human community and be steadfast and consistent to face courageously any problem or difficulty that comes your way. No doubt all this affair requires courage and determination as well as hard work on your part. Word AZM is from root AIN, ZAA and MEEM.

Also intense burning of fire, to kindle a fire, intensity of thirst or hunger, to suffer painfully due to being burnt by fire, to suffer as a result of intense hunger or thirst, to suffer intensely due to severe lack of some necessity of life, to suffer very badly due to fire of hate, to suffer greatly due to intense fights and wars between people, to suffer from madness or insanity, to fix a price for something, to suffer from fatigue or distress, to inflame or become inflamed, blazing intense fire, to set alight or be on fire oneself, to have intense burning sensation due to some reason, to be under severe distress due to some reason, severe heat, warmongering, to conspire for war, to say something highly provocative to someone, to say something to or about someone that destroys one’s integrity or personality or person, to injure or kill someone with a rain of arrows, a highly greedy person, someone whose needs can never be satisfied, to run after personal gains at the expense of others like a mad, a person who feels intensely angry inside oneself that burns one from inside severely when others have things same as that person, severely envious or jealous person, a person who has intense burning desire for domination over others through undermining them, a person with intense burning desire for personal gains at the expense of others, a person who profits from putting others in crisis, to suffer intensely due to adopting a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other, to have such social environment wherein people suffer intense pain by hands of each other, to go through an unending civil war, to suffer intensely from animosity of one another, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. 22] The fact is he who commits to pursuing way of life that leads to unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind as a goal set by Allah and works hard to bring about a properly balances beautiful human community in a kingdom has indeed grasped the most reliable handhold because proper handling of all affairs related to humanity rests with proper understanding and faithful following of guidance of Allah for mankind. Word URWAH is from roots AIN, RAA and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is buttonhole or something like a buttonhole in some sense. Also a loop, something comprehensive or inclusive or encircling, something that surrounds something in some sense, some sort of protective covering, a wrapper, something that guards something in some sense for some purpose, handle, handhold, grip, grasp, understanding, comprehension, something that provides basis or foundation for something, reason or ground, something to grip or hold onto, to seize, to befall, to afflict, to come over, to desert, to let down, extreme coldness, forlorn camels, to visit someone with something, to overcome with, to possess, link or bond or relationship, base or foundation, remote open expanse of land, treeless area, nakedness, to be naked, to become emaciated, to strip off, to strip meat off bones, to evacuate, to vacate, to empty, wide and open, barren, a place free of any obstacles, an even piece of land, an even and smooth road that is free of bumps or ditches, a place full of such thorny or fruitful trees or bushes which have very long roots and remain green all year round, something that can be relied upon in all situation and in all circumstances, to hold a cup or mug by its handle, something one holds onto when hanging down to not to fall down, a safety or security measure of some sort, something fully trustable or reliable, a way of life that leads to a definite end or outcome, to stick with something, to become solidified with something, to become strong or firm due to something, something or someone that never breaks one’s trust, something that does not fall short of its requirement, something that always fulfils its intended purpose, someone or something that comes face to face with someone or something, to inflict with a disaster, eye or something like an eye in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. Word WUSQAA is from root WOW, SAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is something to tie something with in some sense for some purpose. Also shackles or bonds or ties or ropes or strings or threads or relationships, to tie up or bind, to be firm or to make firm by tying something to something, to trust or rely upon, to pledge, covenant or agreement or pact or constitution or legal contract, to give one’s solemn agreement, to consent, to bind someone to oneself, to exchange pledges with, marriage vows, to shackle or fetter, to limit or set a limit or restrict, to put an obstacle in the way of, to limit or take away one’s freedom, to hold back from doing something, to swear under oath, to agree to live by a way of life or a rule of law or a tradition or custom, to think or take someone as a trustable person, abundant posture that is sufficient for all year round, to cut the meat, to celebrate, to feast, to agree to protect or secure, to guaranty safety or security on some ground or basis, hook or something like a hook in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense etc etc. 23] Despite all this explanation if anyone still rejects and opposes guidance of Allah let that rejection and opposition of his not put you in distress because such people are bound to face Our set-up systems and laws and they will force them into realisation as to what they should be doing if they want to secure for themselves a blissful and dignified survival, surely set-up systems and laws of Allah constantly make obvious for mankind whatever intentions they have in their minds about each other through their own works for or against each other. These verses explain very clearly that mankind are not totally free to do as they please rather Allah has created this world for his purpose and therefore he has set-up systems and laws that operate in a certain way in order to fulfil his objective. This is why the limits set by Allah cannot be breached by mankind without facing the consequences of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions regarding each other. The guidance by Allah is like a map of the universe which tells people how to navigate through it not just safely but blissfully in a dignified way. This is why so long as people do not use divine revelation for its set purpose there is not going to be any let in their painful suffering because of the way they treat each other. It is because every action has a reaction sooner or later and that is the rule upon which this world is based. If people will live as told then they will end up in blissful kingdoms otherwise they will end up in hell of their own making because the personal gains at the expense of each other based world is a divided world and in a divided world only those people gain who have the power to do so and power keeps on switching between individuals and groups and between nations so each individual or nation ends up with lots of enemies. This is why the Quran wants humanity to be a brotherhood of humanity based upon the solid foundation provided by Allah. So people should cut out animosity from between individuals and nations and concentrate on things they should be doing to make life blissful, dignified and secure for themselves as a single human family in this world. 24] We let a small number of those who live their lives on basis of personal gain at the expense of each other enjoy their ill-gotten gains for a limited time but in the end most of them are driven by their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires towards the unrelenting painful suffering by hands of each other. 25] Should you ask them, who has originated and evolved the heavens and the earth? They are sure to say, Allah. Say, this is why sovereignty only belongs to Allah. However most of them bother not to learn and understand things properly. The Quran repeats this line of questioning but why? It is because deep inside all people accept existence of their creator and sustainer but then they go in different directions and reject the same creator and sustainer by way of their make beliefs and useless works whereby they effectively negate his existence. One has to ask oneself, where is sense in believing in God and not being bothered with trying to understand what he has revealed? Why take nonsense of each other as words of God? Why therefore mislead each other and make life hell for each other when all can live a beautiful life with help and support of each other as per purpose of the creator and sustainer of the world? Where is sense in whatever people think and do against each other? So if people do feel they have been created by a God then they must look for his guidance for them to find out why he has created them and how can they fulfil his purpose instead of assuming whatever they like and doing whatever they like and thinking God is pleased this way or that way. People must therefore become literate, educated, and trained to be able to think and do things skilfully for ensuring their own well being rather their wasting their lives away by thinking and doing all sorts of stupid things to keep themselves busy in order to pass their time. The Quranic way of life can help people have a beautiful life but they cannot have it unless they adopt the Quran program, constitution and law for the goals the Quran has put forth for mankind to accomplish. Each time a person has a problem in his life he prays to God as if God is standing beside that person like a human slave ready to carry out his/her wishes by magic. If that had been the way God did things then could the world be in the state that it is? Because all people sincerely call upon God this way yet it changes nothing for anyone. This should tell people clearly that there has to be some other way God does things and that is why people need to read his message for its proper understanding and faithful following because it explains all people need to know to do think and do. This is why the Quran contains questions like the one in this verse because it wants people to realise the need for guidance of Allah. It is because knowing the purpose of existence and knowing how to fulfil that purpose can make life a lot easier. Knowing about the origin of things and how they work for sure can take away a lot of mystery, confusion, chaos and painful suffering out of things. The pain and fear of unknown is very intense and where is sense in having that when all has been explained in all necessary detail for mankind by God. 26] To fulfil the purpose of Allah works all that is in the heavens and the earth because He created it all and He is the only one who was capable to putting it all to work efficiently to fulfil his purpose due to being self-sufficient in His existence and capable of sustaining His creation and guiding it. 27] The extent of His creation and its working is such that if all the trees in the world became pens and all the oceans became ink and were even replenished repeatedly the details of creations and revelations of Allah could not be reduced to writings by mankind. Allah is such capable and wise ruler of this universe therefore you the mankind should also learn His guidance properly and follow it faithfully for ensuring your own well being as a proper human community. 28] Your origination and evolution as well as your spreading as a species was nothing more than a single process like creation of a single thing, this is how Allah makes things obvious for mankind to observe and understand. This verse tells mankind God did not create individual things individually instead he created all things by initiating a single process for which he put in place all necessary systems, structures, mechanisms and laws. So the process is continuous and it will keep on unfolding itself as time goes on for as long as it needs to unfold fully. 29] Why don’t you observe to understand how Allah causes the night to pass into the day and the day into the night and how He has subjected the sun and the moon to His laws, each pursuing its set out course for an appointed term for fulfilling its role? That is how Allah shows mankind that He is fully aware of all that you the mankind should be knowing and doing to have a blissful, dignified and secure life? 30] All this because Allah alone is rightful ruler of this kingdom of the universe therefore His advised way of life for mankind is truly proper and all those to whose ways of life you people invite each other are false. This is how Allah proves that He is far above in creativity and knowledge than those whom you take for your rulers who ruin your lives this is why you should turn to His guidance rather than living by their ways of life. This verse makes it absolutely clear that it is very much possible to prove God exists and the Quran is his word through way of life that is advised for mankind by Allah. The point made in this verse is very clear. If a person explains to someone how something came about or works or the purpose it is supposed to serve or the way it is supposed to serve its purpose then if that explanation is examined in light of evidences, it should become very clear whether the explanation proves true or false. If the way of life explained by God for people can be shown to be proper then it can be proven a true way of life. This way of life which has been explained in the Quran has not been undermined by any way of life which people have come up with so far and there is no chance that people will ever be able to do that therefore it proves the Quran is truly word of God and that people must understand properly and follow faithfully this way of life if they wish to have blissful, dignified and secure existence. If not then they are free to think and do as they like and face the consequences explained in the Quran very clearly. One can try and understand what is explained here by an example. Suppose I say, all even numbers can be divided by two then all one has to do is take any number of even numbers and divide them by two and if the idea works then I am right but if it does not then what I am saying is wrong. However if no one tried what I am saying and they start saying I am wrong then that will not be proper response of people to my proposal. The same can be said about the way of life advised by Allah that if people do not bother to understand it properly or to adopt it faithfully and reject it by ignoring it altogether and keep saying it is false or useless or unworkable etc etc then what can anyone say to such people who are such ignorant and so stupid? 31] Moreover why do you the mankind not observe to understand how the ships sail through the waters in the oceans for ensuring blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind according to set-up systems and laws of Allah so that thereby He shows you the mankind evidences of His creativity and knowledge? Surely there in are lessons to learn for all the people who wish to be steadfastly consistent in making proper use of things provided. 32] Behold! When a giant wave of problems covers them like a canopy as in the sea they rely upon the way of life advised by Allah with total sincerity putting themselves at mercy of His set-up systems and laws yet after He has landed them safely out of problems some of them let themselves become victims of confusion regarding proper way of life and make belief way of life due to becoming ignorant in due course. However none fight against Our assigned goals and guidelines for mankind save the treacherous and deceivers who prevent others from accessing Our provisions for them in order to enslave them thereby to use them abusively for their own harmful and destructive ends. The Quran repeatedly tells us that when people become completely surrounded by troubles then they call upon God for help but after he has helped them out of troubles through his advised way of life which turns them into a proper brotherhood of humanity many of them go back to the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. This is how people keep getting into troubles again and again despite being told to be careful next time. 33] O you the mankind! Be consistent with guidance of your Creator and Sustainer as well as each other and keep the forewarned period of time in forefront of your minds when no parent will be able to help and support its off-spring nor the off-spring will be able to help and support its parent. Surely set-up systems and laws of Allah always fulfil their purpose by making mankind face consequences of their own thoughts and actions regarding each other. So let not the way of life based upon petty personal gains at the expense of each other deceive you, nor let such leadership deceive you that works against the way of life advised by Allah to take you away from it. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind to stick with way of life advised by Allah because it brings people together through assigned goals and provided guidelines that bind them into a proper brotherhood of humanity. This brings people help and support of each other therefore together people can take on anything they want. However petty personal advantages lead people to think they are better without each other and that is how they end up fighting for individuality and cause fragmentation of human brotherhood. This leads people to living for themselves and the end result is no one has any one to turn to when things get really bad due to rampant rivalry, animosity, hatred and infighting. In short when train is set on this track then end result has to be utter destruction of humanity. However due to calling of missionaries for way of life advised by Allah many people begin to see sense before it is too late and things start getting better for mankind once again till next time if there is one. This cycle keeps repeating with bigger and bigger successes so over all mankind are getting better and better at things. However people have yet long way to go before all becomes ok for humanity for good. Basically these verses make it clear that if people will pay no due attention to divine guidance which teaches them brotherhood then it will not take very long before their own ways of life will lead them into situations that none will be there for anyone else. One has to imagine what kind of world will come about if people keep on going that way and how many will like to live in that kind of world. This is why uprising in that case will become inevitable to overturn that way of life or mankind will perish if they do not do that. This is why people must follow divine guidance the while they still have time to turn things round. 34] Surely it is up to set-up systems and laws of Allah to make manifest the moment the upheaval takes place when its set conditions are met and tipping point is reached and that is how Allah makes manifest the time of rain and the time of childbirth for a pregnant female. So no one knows exactly as a matter of fact what one will do in future, nor one knows exactly as a matter of fact due to which cause one will end up dead. Only set-up systems and laws of Allah make manifest all this for mankind to show to mankind He is all aware and capable of guiding them by way of His program that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence. This verse tells mankind that only and only Allah himself has comprehensive information and understanding about everything that is why only he is able to guide and advise mankind properly and that is why mankind should make proper effort to make proper sense of his guidance and follow his guidance faithfully because none of the mankind have the knowledge needed to originate and rule this world. Even though mankind have no idea about things yet set-up systems and laws of Allah help mankind know what is coming through observable signs or clues that appear before things actually happen eg like clouds tell us prepare for rain. The cracks in the roof tell us, get out the house because it is coming down. Surah 32 AL-SAJDAH- The purpose for which Allah created everything could only be served by his creation through submitting to his will so mankind must also do the same in order to have blissful, dignified and secure existence This surah is named AL-SAJDAH from root SEEN, JEEM and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to understand properly and accept and carry out what is required of someone by someone completely and faithfully. To be on one’s knees or bow one’s head, to kneel down or bow down to will of someone, to lie down or place one’s forehead on the ground before someone in submission or defeat, to submit, to become humble or be humbled, to become a subject or accept rule of a ruler, a place or an office wherein one bows down or carries out works to fulfil commandments of an authority one accepts or to which one bows down, a person or thing to which one bows down or submits. to accept defeat or subjugation, to accept superiority of someone, to fulfil one’s duty or responsibility to someone, to lower down oneself before someone or something in some sense for some reason, to bend under weight or pressure, to show respect by bowing of head or kneeling, to accept something mentally and by word of mouth as well as movement of the body, to prostrate with the forehead touching the ground, submission, adoration, worship, to bow down in humility, to faithfully carry out the order of an authority, place of worship, worshipper, the executer of the order of an authority, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, camel or something like a camel in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense etc etc. This surah is named AL-SAJDAH not because this word is used in this surah but because it talks about what SAJDAH is all about in the context of the Quran for mankind to understand and carry out. It is all about knowing who the real authority is in this universe and to accomplish its set goals for mankind according to its provided guidelines so that mankind could have blissful dignified and secure existence in this world as a proper human community and then concentrate on higher goals. The cause of fall of nations is clearly stated and the works that can help raise nations to blissful, dignified and secure existence are explained, so if any nations out there want dignified, blissful and secure life they must follow the program stated in the Quran for these like goals according to provided guidelines otherwise they cannot escape life of misery and disgrace due to insecurity and instability. The only main reason for downfall of nations is religion based life because upon its basis people spread and maintain ignorance and divisions and then those who divide people use secularism to rule them and thereby use and abuse them in the name of politics and economics using various tricky mechanisms to confuse them. The Quran continuously attacks make beliefs and useless rituals and lives based upon them due to ignorance and stupidity of mankind for not understanding the mechanisms set up for use and abuse of humanity in the name of God, telling people repeatedly, understand the real world and live in it accordingly so that you could have unity therefore peace so that you could make progress and prosper as a proper human community. Unless people learn to use their brains and senses and bodies and all that is provided in the universe for them including guidance of Allah properly they are not going to have lives worth living. The use and abuse culture cannot be gotten rid of unless people adopt life as explained in the Quran. One can only live to make one’s life a blissful experience or a life that is nothing less than hell by making of oneself. To let one’s life be hell one does not need to do anything but to make one’s life blissful one has to put up very hard struggle. Why? Because you need cooperation of all agents that participate in the game so that none of them makes life hell for anyone else and each tries to make it as comfortable as possible. If no one uses others in an abusive way and instead people cooperate for the good of each other then life cannot be but a blissful experience. This persuasion of mankind is called preaching of Islam and because it involves a sort of struggle or campaign therefore it is called jihad due to effort people put in this struggle. This is why one cannot have peace unless this book called the Quran is understood properly and its message spread widely so that people could come together in a meaningful way to bring about a beautiful world for themselves. The enemies of God and humanity are doing their utmost to keep this message from spreading and being understood properly through their whispering campaigns and conspiracies against it. If mankind want a better world then they have no choice but to confront Pharaohs, Qaroons, Hamaans and Saamiries in this world. If they do not then they can forget about blissful, dignified and secure life in this world. The main question is, how to confront the harmful and destructive powers in this world? The answer is, understand the Quran properly and spread its message properly and let it work on minds of people and see the results in due course. That is what each and every divine messenger did ie they began their campaigns by educating their people and when people became convinced they got together and turned their societies round setting them on proper course of better future. Education has to be all about self awareness, awareness of universal realities and awareness of divine revelation. Having all this information and its proper understanding at our finger tips can help us come up with a proper course of action for our better future. In other words what people are already doing is not all useless rather it lacks proper moral base and once it has proper moral base the difference will soon become obvious. Mankind have discovered a lot so far but because they cut throats of each other in the process the development has not been that speedy or painless and likewise the use of those discoveries has not been without cost in human terms because the major problem has been use of things for abusing each other. This again has not made things worthwhile for humanity but once things are done for right reasons and the right way a lot of painful suffering could be brought to an end for good. To verify what the Quran says one can travel through most populated countries and most backward countries and see the results of that oneself first hand. Flashy bits here and there are not the whole picture of the real world. The main stream media is masking the real world and painting a picture to us which is not real. The Quran tells us, things do not have to be this way rather it is up to mankind themselves to do something about it as explained in all necessary detail. The solutions of our problems lie in concrete steps laid down in the Quran as our foundation. If we decide to work within those set out perimeters then all this harm and destruction will not take place anymore and the world will become much better than the picture the main stream media paints about it. That is because the Quran invites us to start a sustained campaign for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind which is actually a campaign against harm and destruction, laziness and craziness, use and abuse etc etc. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] ALIF LAAM MEEM. 2] The revelation of this program for accomplishment of set of goals for mankind according to provided guidelines is without any doubt from the Creator and Sustainer of the people of the world. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind it is revealed by Allah for their guidance. This claim of the Quran cannot be doubted because it is backed up by clear explanation of all that is necessary for mankind to know about their origin, purpose and functioning etc. The Quran therefore is an absolute proof because it explains self evident facts as well as things that are not obvious to human senses directly. 3] Do the rejecters and opponents of Our guidance claim he has invented the Quran by himself and is attributing it to Us? No, that was not possible for you to do rather it is the verifiable truth from your Creator and Sustainer so that you alert a people to whom no warner has come before you so that thereby they could guide themselves to a meaningful existence. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind it was not possible for mankind to produce it and gives reason why that is the case. This is how it proves, it is word of God. Had it been possible for mankind to produce a book like the Quran then people will have done that by now many times over as already explained in detail. It is because the information the Quran contains is beyond human capability that is why human beings could not have produced it. 4] Allah is he who has originated and evolved all the galaxies including this galaxy and all that is in between them in stages one after the other in an expanding and extending manner and that is how He established His right of rule over whole of the kingdom of the universe. This is why you, the mankind, have no ruler other than Him, nor any intervener on your behalf against His set-up systems and laws. Will you still not accept His message and strive to spread it throughout the world for your own development and prosperity? So far humanity has not been able to explain origin of the universe without supposing an ever existing intelligent creator and sustainer due to complexities involved in the universe of various kinds. The matter becomes more complex due to existence of the Quran because the information it contains is beyond capability of humanity to produce. It is a miracle in itself that the Quran uses simple human language to explain such complexities as the Quran explains. A very strange book indeed. 5] He planned this whole thing or affair from the very top to the very bottom then let it unfold in reality according to His set purpose as arranged steps each of which could extend over a period of a thousand years according to your reckoning. Word YARUJ is from root AIN, RAA and JEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is staircase. Also ladder, incremental steps, ramped gradations, to rise in small or large steps in some sense for some purpose, to rise on a ladder or to rise step by step on a staircase, to become more and more complex or sophisticated from a simple state of existence, to move in some sense from one place or state to another as if in steps or by limping, to not to be able to walk smoothly or straight on a level ground, to walk on an uneven ground as if one is climbing up the ladder, to go zigzag, to evolve or develop in steps, to be lame, to walk with a limp, to ascend, flight of steps, zigzagging road, to call upon, an ascending path, eye or something like an eye in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, camel or something like a camel in some sense etc etc. This verse contains some words that need to be paid attention. Words SAMAA and ARD here do not mean heaven and earth but express the extent of the universe or creation that was planned by God. It is way of saying I have done this from one end to the other or from top to bottom or start to finish etc etc. The other word used here is YARUJU which means steps or rungs of a ladder or stages in a process but these stages are moving from simple to complex or going from lower end to higher end. In other words the Quran is talking about evolutionary incremental process. In this word there is sense of this universe going from smallest possible size to largest possible size or a creature growing from its simplest point to its most sophisticated point. So the Quran is not only telling us about evolution but also in which direction things are moving to fulfil divine purpose in steps. The other thing this verse is telling us is the time each step of the process could take as compared to our time, which involves natural systems and mechanisms in the creating process and the time they take for their completion step by step. Elsewhere in the Quran similar ideas about time periods are expressed but for different purposes. The reason the time periods could not be fixed in time is because the universe is set to operate on basis of certain conditions for things to happen and unless those set conditions are met things dependent upon those conditions do not happen. For example, when a roof of a building will fall in no one can tell but it will eventually come down when the walls or any of the building materials give in. In such cases time cannot be given or set due to other factors which are independent of set time limit. For example, if a machine is looked after better by an owner then it can last longer as compared to an owner who does not look after his machine as he should. This is why time period could extend or contract for things to happen depending upon the set conditions as to when they become fulfilled. This is why when people ask the prophet when will this or that thing happen his answer is it depends upon your own thoughts and actions ie whether you think and go the right way or the wrong way and if you go in a particular way how fast or slow you are fulfilling those set conditions for ending up in blissful kingdoms or fire of hell you create for yourselves. In verses like this the Quran tells us very clearly that Allah does not work haphazardly as mullahs will have us believe instead he had a purpose in his mind for which he planned and set-up everything to work. A very clear proof of intelligent design based evolution or creation as already explained in detail. If it was only a matter of saying be and it was in each case for Allah then why Allah will need clay to create living things? By telling us he created things from dust or water or children from, parents etc etc tells us very clearly that Allah originated and evolved and sustained things the way we observe and understand them. When things are done haphazardly then planning is not needed at all. The very idea that Allah fulfils his promises tell us he works according to some plan and not haphazardly. A person who works haphazardly cannot make promises because he cannot keep them due to doing whatever one likes at any given moment due to spur of the moment. Mullahs paint a very bad picture of God as a being to say the least. So people will have to let mullaism go or they cannot come out of their ignorance which mullahs have instilled in their minds. God is all powerful but he uses his power according to his plan for fulfilling his purpose and not haphazardly as explained already in detail. Mullahs statements carry clear proofs of their ignorance and stupidity and that is why to follow mullahs blindly is recipe for disaster. 6] Such is He Who makes obvious for mankind in due course to benefit from all that is hidden in the universe as well as all that is in the open for He is the mighty provider of the program that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence. In verses like this Allah tells us how he makes obvious for us all that is hidden in due course so that through our explorations and discoveries we could ensure our well being better and better. 7] It is He Who has given through proper balancing the beautiful forms to all living things that He has originated and evolved. He initiated the creation of man from the essence of the earth This does not mean Allah took some clay from the earth and moulded it into shape of a human being like a human being makes toys from the mud. The Quran in various verses explains how mankind were originated and evolved into human beings beginning with creation of tree of life from the needed chemicals available on the earth from which evolved various life forms which gave birth to human like creatures and finally came about human beings. The earth is the common ancestor of all living things because that is where of came about a living cell from which came forth the tree of life and various species that branched off and gave birth to various species via natural selection. So humans are nothing special as animals but only due to their brains, senses and bodies but particularly when they begin to use their brains and senses and bodies properly therefore the rest of provision due to their ability whereby they are able to decode revelation of God and live by it faithfully and that is obvious from their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours towards each other. 8] then brought forth his progeny by way of sexual reproduction by means of a very small quantity of fluid that is so small that it is not even worth mentioning. Word NASLAH is from root NOON, SEEN and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is something that comes forth from something in some sense but separates from it for some purpose. Also something that comes out of something easily, something that is pulled out of something, to bring something out of something, the separation of something from something, to become disconnected or separated, camel hair that fall off a camel.

Concrete meaning of this root is to make heavy use of someone or something in some sense for some purpose. Also to rub something very much, to make someone or something work very hard to the extent that one becomes utterly tired or weak, a camel that is thought of so weak or defective that one does not use it for reproduction purposes so that offspring are not defective, something negligible, something very simple, something worthless or of little value, something very basic, something lacking complexity or sophistication, something lacking development or growth, something in its simplest possible form of existence, something that is very simple but has the potential to become complex and sophisticated, something disdainful, something that is looked down upon, something disgraceful, something despised, slave or maid or servant, a disgraceful person, a person who lacks in giving his opinions, a person who rarely gives his opinions about things, a person with a very limited point of view, a narrow minded person, a narrow minded person who has the potential to become an open minded person, to have no value or respect, to be of no use, something useless or purposeless, someone who has no purpose but is capable of having a purpose, profession, vocation, to weaken, to degrade, to treat in a humiliating manner, vile, contemptible, insignificant, despicable, to ridicule, to value lightly, to be meek, to be easy, to be amiable, to be moderate, to be solemn, to be gentle, to humble, to demean, gentility, modesty, ease of manner, abasement, shame, easily accomplished, to insult or abuse, the abusive use of something, water or something like water in some sense, window or something like a window in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense etc etc. 9] Then He formed him in the womb in due proportion and after birth when he became aware of himself and universal realities and felt the need for His guidance He inspired Him with His revelation and that is why He gave you the mankind sense of hearing and sense of sight as well as the brain to think so that you could become self aware and aware of universal realities and follow His guidance yet you people seldom use His provided things properly. The very basic reason why Allah provided mankind with guidance is so that people use his provisions properly by following his advised way of life which otherwise they do not due to following the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. 10] Despite being explained all this in all necessary detail they still say, are you telling us that even though we have lost our blissful, dignified and secure existence in this world we could be given a new opportunity as a new lease of life through this message? The truth is, they are trying to avoid going through with this program to meet the set standard of their Creator and sustainer for having a blissful, dignified and secure existence in this world. Since Allah began sending his messages for mankind to put people on the right track for a good life, people have been going off the track every now and then and so need arose for revival of guidance and therefore came about missionaries and movements. As revivalists arose among human populations and started movements people whose interests were at stake made excuses to justify their stances. They did this to remain respectable in the eyes of the masses despite being abusive users of masses. These people were rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts, active supporters and blind followers. Such people always tried to put doubts in minds of masses about messages of God by twisting things their way to suit themselves. So far they have been very successful in having things their way but only due to ignorance of masses at a massive scale. However as masses also become clever due to natural causes things will not be allowed to continue they way they have been. Even though the top elite would like to keep a lid on things any way it can but nature has its own way of doing things which forces changes in human mindsets, attitudes and behaviours as time marches on. This is why even if all else fails things will still move towards the intended goal set by Allah. In wider scheme of things Allah has given mankind only a limited role so people can only go so far and then set-up systems and laws of Allah take over to bring mankind to their senses. 11] Say, the harmful and destructive leadership delivers you the fatal blow whom you let take over yourselves to manage your affairs according to its invented way of life therefore you need to be brought back to way of life advised by your Creator and Sustainer by each other if you want to rise up and work towards attaining blissful, dignified and secure life. Here the Quran tells people not to let such people take over leadership of their human population who are harmful and destructive because they want to impose the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other because that gives them advantage over the rest. There is no point in complaining about atrocities of such people against others once people themselves let harmful and destructive people take over their human populations. The main reason they can take over a human populations is ignorance, illiteracy, lack of education, training and skills for proper thinking and doing things properly. This is why such people can cause divisions among a people and that way can take over them by using their tricks against unsuspecting masses. All this has been explained in detail already in the Quran which shows people always proved their own worst enemies when it comes to such things because they show little interest in learning or education and training and even those who do they face severe competition which makes education beyond reach of many. 12] And if only you could imagine the situation that is going to take place in due course when those who commit crimes against each other bring down their dominant people and their ways of life to make them follow the way of life advised by your Creator and Sustainer saying, our Creator and Sustainer, we have seen and understood the consequences of our harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other so guide us towards Your advised way of life so that we too could be of those who work for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind to make this world a beautiful place and we are sure it is all possible for us to accomplish. 13] Had it served Our purpose for creation of mankind We could have programmed each and every person with his instructions fully like other things but Our purpose and plan was to give mankind ability of choice and provide them with Our guidance and We forewarned mankind about the fact that if they did not follow My guidance then world could become a place full of hatred and animosity filled with a population of harmful and destructive leaders and followers. Allah could have created people fully programmed just like other nonliving things but he chose to create people with a freewill so that they could serve his purpose for their creation ie to get to know about their creator and sustainers through his creation and revelation by their own choosing and effort. 14] Now that you people have brought this state of affairs upon yourselves despite My guidance by ignoring it in the past and you are still ignoring it then keep tasting the consequences of your misdeeds against each other by hands of each other by not meeting My set standard for getting out of this situation. Since you have been ignoring My advice I will leave you to yourselves to keep facing the results of your own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other till you have learned your lesson the hard way by hands of each other or you perish. 15] It is because only those people commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind on basis of Our set goals according to Our provided guidelines who when they are told about them, examine them carefully to verify their consistency then submit to Our program, constitution and laws working hard to manifest glory of their Creator and Sustainer never undermining each other by dominating each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. The main drives that motivate people are hunger and thirst because without food and water living things cannot survive at all. Reproduction is of secondary importance because one can only reproduce if one survives not otherwise. Nonetheless fear and anxiety of one or other sort is always behind all these drives therefore people do all sorts of things to try and secure themselves in a haphazard way due to their ignorance and illiteracy or lack of education, training and skills so they cannot think, plan and do things properly. However if people could organise and regulate themselves to fulfil their needs properly as explained in the Quran then human society could reach heights of excellence within a very short period of time. There are various problems that humanity must learn to realise and find ways to solve them properly if people want to have a blissful, dignified and secure existence in this world. The main thing is to have goals set by the Quran for humanity to accomplish. Having lofty or worthy goals is of ultimate importance because without having such goals people cannot have any worthwhile purpose for living. Trying to find ways for wasting life away through various entertainments to pass time to avoid boredom is not a goal worth pursuing. It is important in itself to have a meaningful life and it is better to live in search of a purposeful life then have no goal at all. Once the goals set by the Quran are understood and accepted then it is also important to find out guidelines told in the Quran to ensure they are consistent with set goals. The program that can help fulfil the stated goals also becomes important and so does the action plan which needs to be worked out by people themselves along with constitution and laws as explained already in detail. It is of utmost importance to ensure all these things are consistent within themselves as individual components of the main thing as well as with each other as a whole thing. Any inconsistency will be a fatal blow to whole thing. This is why the Quran tells mankind to understand its message properly and then follow it through faithfully otherwise the results promised as outcome will not become a reality. This delivers a fatal blow to nonsense of mullahs who promote all sorts of nonsense in the name of Allah as deen of Islam such as blind faith, make beliefs, useless rituals and mullah based shariah which they call Islamic law etc. Books of fiqh produced by mullahs are sufficient to disgrace mullaism for good. 16] Who keep themselves away from idleness and laziness remaining appropriately active always relying upon guidance of their Creator and Sustainer themselves and inviting others towards it to do the same in order to prevent situations that lead people to life of all kinds of fears and anxieties and that is why they strive for keeping open what We have provided them with for the development and progress of humanity as a proper human community. 17] So no person ignorant about Our revelations is aware of the delights and luxuries that please the eyes that await them in due course as the outcome of their thoughts and actions for ensuring well being of each other as a proper human community. 18] Therefore how can any people who are truly committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity by deeds be like the people who cause divisions and wars between people for personal gains at the expense of each other? Surely they cannot be taken as equally Godly and human friendly deserving the very same outcome for their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. 19] That is why for those who will commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind will be kingdoms wherein they will have blissful, dignified and secure existence to enjoy due to that which they will have thought and done for each other as a proper human community. 20] But those who will commit to causing divisions and wars between people for personal gains at the expense of each other their environments will become full of fire of hatred and animosities. Each time any of them will try to get away from that place or situation they will pull that person back in there saying, taste the outcome of the fire of hatred and animosities you people have caused among yourselves against which you were warned but you denied it could happen to you as a people. 21] We will certainly let them taste the lighter torments as a result of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other for personal gains at the expense of each other to begin with to leave them an opportunity to change their way of life to the one We have advised but if they do not then torment will intensify gravely with time as their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other increase in numbers and intensify in their severity. 22] So which group of people could be more harmful and destructive for humanity than the one which is told about the goals and guidelines of its Creator and Sustainer and instead of verifying and accepting them properly and acting upon them faithfully turns away from them and stops others from doing that? Surely We will make such criminals face the consequences of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against humanity by hands of each other. These verses leave none in doubt as to what deen of Islam exactly is. It has nothing at all to do with make beliefs and useless rituals. The Quran sets clear goals for mankind to accomplish and provides them with clear guidelines for a constitution and laws as well as a program for fulfilling the set goals. This ummah is in terrible state of affairs mainly due to its own mullahs, money lenders, rulers, their touts, supporters and blind followers. If people used their brains and senses in light of real world realities and the Quran, things could never be this bad. However things could still be turned round for good if people of this ummah chose to do so but will they? If yes, when? 23] There is nothing fundamentally new in the revelation of this Quran about the way of life We advised for mankind, the fact is We already gave a similar book to Moses before this and made it a guide for children of Israel to go by, so you people should not be in any doubt or hesitation for meeting the standard set by this book if you wish to have a blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community. 24] It was due to their capability of proper understanding and steadfast faithful following of Our guidance as well as due to their capability of inviting others to it at the time that We appointed them as leaders for humanity to Our advised way of life because they understood Our set goals and provided guidelines properly and pursued them faithfully. Allah always chose such people as his missionaries for guiding humanity at any given time in any given place who prepared themselves best for proper understanding of things in the real world and therefore revelations of Allah. This is the reason Allah chose children of Adam, children of Noah, children of Abraham, children of Israel and children of Ismail etc etc because they were top most people of their times. Any people who were judged incapable of carrying out divine mission were not chosen for that task because by their words and deeds such people proved themselves as such. In other words Allah chose the most suitable people for his purpose regardless of who they were. When one people became incapable of carrying out divine work another were given the task who suited the most. Likewise missionary work of Allah was passed onto Arabs when most of children of Israel became incapable of carrying out the task as best as Arabs could for this era of final messengership. 25] Today you people see them divided into groups among themselves due to their distancing themselves from Our guidance but surely your Creator and Sustainer will settle the differences between them at the time when His advised way of life becomes an established reality in the world in due course. 26] Has the history of mankind not taught them the lesson regarding how many generations of people We left to themselves which destroyed themselves before them when they ignored and neglected Our guidance in whose lands they live today and move about? Surely there are many lessons in that for them to learn from. Why don’t they explore, discover and consider the historical evidences with care and pay appropriate attention to them? The Quran keeps bringing in past events to attention of mankind and keeps emphasising importance of historical evidences on basis of philosophy behind them. It does the same for scientific evidences and philosophy behind them. This is a highly intelligent way of educating people about reasons as to why various fields of knowledge are of vital importance for humanity to learn about. It is true that the Quran is not a text book for any particular field of knowledge but it is equally true that it does tell humanity things about all fields of knowledge that are necessary for mankind to know about. One must always remember that even all text books ever written by any people for educating people do not contain each and everything about any particular field of knowledge so to say the Quran does not contain such detailed information about each and every field of knowledge does not affect the vital importance of the message of the Quran in any way. The reason why the Quran is the way it is has been explained in detail already. 27] Why don’t they observe to learn from how We drive the clouds carrying rain to the parched lands and after rain therefrom We bring forth crops of which they and their cattle eat? So why have they still not learned sense to understand things properly for themselves? 28] If they have learned sense of making proper sense of historical and scientific evidences then why do they still ask you, when will the way of life advised by Allah become an established reality in the real world if you are truthful in your claim about it? 29] Tell them, the day when the way of life advised by Allah becomes an established reality in the world those who reject and oppose it will not be able to live by their own invented and adopted way of life to gain personally at the expense of others, nor will they be allowed the freedom to do so. 30] However if they continue talking nonsense then ignore them and wait for the outcome of your thoughts and actions according to Our guidance and they too need to wait for outcome of their thoughts and actions according to their invented and adopted way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. The message of the Quran is very clear that system and laws put in place by Allah for his plan for mankind cannot be fought against by anyone ever so it is better that mankind find out this fact for themselves and submit to the will of Allah and see the results of their actions based upon his program. There is a time and a place for everything and once the time or place changes in any way then results also change accordingly. This is why mankind should grab the opportunities sent their way with both hands lest they regret things later for acting lazy and crazy. By following program of the Quran mankind have everything to gain and nothing to lose other than pain and suffering they have been through and are still going through. |

Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 33 AL-AHZAAB- Coming together of communities in an organised and regulated way for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity as a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah
This surah is named AL-AHZAAB from root HAA, ZAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is some things that are bound together in some sense for some purpose. Also party or band or group or community of people, confederation of communities or people or nations or parties or groups or teams, sect, alliance, section, things that work together or form a unit or system, a united people, rocky hill, hardship, partition, department, compartment, chamber, division, gang, horde, to afflict or inflict, ally, trouble or pain, supporter, to take turns, to part, to break up into parties or sections in some sense for some reason, to create departments, to organise into groups for some end, to gang up, partisans, factions, something solid or strong or hard or tough, something severe or intense in some sense, ally, to limit or restrict, to protect or shield, to provide with shelter or refuge, to control or cover, to be instrumental, to be resourceful, to equip with tools or weapons necessary for some task, to have a turn at a waterhole, a part of the Quran, to provide with foundation or ground, to join forces, fence or something like a fence in some sense, to provide with reason or purpose, tool or weapon or something like a tool or weapon in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense etc etc. This surah is named AL-AHZAAB not because word ahzaab is used in it but like any other surah for its subject matter which explains what this surah is all about. The Quran does not label surahs just for name sake but names them because it discusses certain things under those titles and therefore binds the whole thing together in a way that serves a definite purpose. It is because mullahs have ruined the consistency of the Quran by conspiring against it therefore due to that information in their heads when people read the Quran they do not see what the surah is actually saying but what they have been told by their mullahs either because they have an agenda or that they are ignorant but think they are learned or are taken as learned by ignorant masses who never read the Quran themselves for its proper understanding. When people are told word ABAA means father and UMMI means mother then that is how far people limit their thinking. Not at all realising the wider implications of words used in the Quran in context of purpose of the revelation of the Quran due to which it demands that people ponder over its deeper meanings beyond the too obvious ones for baby minded people. Just by looking at root ALIF, MEEM and MEEM one can see that ummah, imam, ummi are all same in basic concept which is something or someone acting like a mother to someone who is very much like a father. It means the imam of the ummah has to be like its father who is very much like mother. Ummah also has to act like a father or a mother to its individuals. Likewise words used in the Quran have purposeful uses in there which serve Quranic defined purposes and not what ignorant people tell us. This is why the Quran cannot be understood by people who are very limited in their awareness about themselves as well as about universal realities. A baby is only familiar with his mama and papa and even that takes many months after his birth and he has no sense of community or society for much longer time to come likewise any simple minded person is very limited in his thinking or use of brain. Mullahs are therefore taking undue advantage of ignorance in ummah and they are also ensuring that ummah stays that way because then it serves their purpose better as it always did since ummah became slave of rulers and their mullahs and money lenders, who have been living of its back like blood sucking leeches or vultures that tear its flesh apart. This surah is mainly about ummah=nation building ie how the prophet worked hard to bring about a core community and then using that core community he brought other communities together and then using those communities he spread the message of the Quranic brotherhood yet wider as far as it was practically possible for the prophet and his supporters. It was not a simple task of taking out a prayer mat and sitting on it praying day and night till Allah had done everything for the prophet and then said to him well done O prophet. He really had to work very, very hard in actual fact for bringing a nation about that the Quran advised him. This is why this surah talks about problems involved in this task and how prophet solved those problems within given support by the Quran. He not only had to learn and understand the message he was revealed but also to help others do the same and then the message being about human society, its politics and economics it created oppositions as well by those whom the message did not suit so there opened up many fronts at the same time so one can see what kind of courageous and wise man was needed to carry it through. It shows what kind of people are Muslims the Quran is talking about in this surah because it shows that through their own wisdom and courage. Despite campaigns against them from within and from the outside they coped very well and turned the mission into a most success story in history of mankind perhaps forever. The amazing thing is, it was all done within a period of 23 years by the prophet and the people he raised as a community based upon the Quran. The surah begins with prophet himself being told by Allah to be consistent with his guidance and not be consistent with ways of life of opponents of this message. Allah tells him that results of his thoughts and actions will prove him whether he is consistent with message of Allah or with opponents of his message. He is promised that if he is consistent with message of Allah then he is bound to end up in a blissful, dignified and secure existence otherwise in life of misery that is bound to happen to those who oppose his message or go about living the way they think it better for themselves. The Quran then emphasises the importance of working according to set-up universal systems and laws because nothing happens in this universe without being based upon law of cause and effect. This rips apart the falsehood created by mullahs called religion and useless rituals that waste time of people who claim to be religious and Godly because all this takes their minds away from what they are actually suppose to be focusing upon and doing for ensuring well being mankind according to guidance of Allah. This shows how important it is for people to realise the fact that Islam is not a religion but a way of life based upon divine goals, guidelines, program, constitution and law. Right in there a very important point is made that divine revelation takes mankind out of confusion due to learning and becoming wise through self awareness, awareness of wider universal realities and divine revelation. All religions are based upon nonsense dogmatic beliefs and useless rituals and lead only and only into confusion and chaotic life. The next point made is importance of education and training and testing so that people are well prepared to take on any task and succeed. No wonder the Quran states that if you are truly a Muslim nation you cannot be overcome by its opponents. It shows what kind of institutions Muslim must build for themselves for keeping up with the teachings of the Quran. From education and training in general to defence that cannot be breached by opponents of divine message. So a Muslim nation cannot be a band of ignorant fools who are sitting ducks for their opponents. One must remember that the Quran prepares ummah for jihad to defend human unity, peace, progress and prosperity not for aggression against weaker people to plunder and enslave them as mullahs will have us believe due to their stupidity. If the Quran was revealed to make Muslims do stupid things then that was already happening in the world so what use would be the message of the Quran to the world in that case? Why will then people turn to the message of the Quran when joining other established imperial powers would have got them more of what they needed in that case? Predators always join forces already in power, they don’t come and join people who are weak and for sure do not stand a chance against established powers? So people coming and joining the message of the Quran shows that people at the time were looking for unity, peace, progress and prosperity not wars and resultant miserable life. That is why when the Quranic message reached their ears they came running to it but this meant loss of slaves for rulers their priests and money lenders so they decided to wage wars and Muslims knew they will have to defend themselves in every way so they tried their best to prepare themselves as best as they could and defended themselves in each and every arena. Masjid was a proper institution wherein people were educated and trained in every way to be wise and courageous human beings and very valuable members of proper human community or ummah. In other words masaajid taught people how to be good citizens of the state that stands for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. They were such centres for community that delivered the human community the Quran wanted mankind to be. Since ummah became slave of its emperors, mullahs and money lenders it lost its way and the outcome of all this is life of misery and disgrace. All this because ummah has stopped studying the Quran itself and therefore it has failed to deliver its proper message properly to rest of humanity so Allah has left it to go its own ways that it has invented for itself in form of religious sects. To change all this needs ummah to come back to proper study of the Quran once more and change the world around it once more to a world that is really a kingdom wherein people could have blissful, dignified and secure existence. The study of the Quran is fundamental if people want a united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous world for themselves. This surah is named AL-AHZAAB because it is about unity of communities but whether people unite on basis of Quranic program or to oppose it is up to themselves but they have been clearly told in here the outcome in either case. Also it is about three groups of people ie true supporters of Quranic message, open opponents of it and hypocrites who claim to be supporters yet say and do things against it but in secret or in a cunning way. The surah ends with a lot of say about hypocrites who conspire to derail communities from the message of the Quran but keep failing and exposing themselves. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] O you the prophet, be consistent with guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of mankind and never listen to harmful and destructive desires and ambitions of those who reject and oppose way of life advised by Allah or the hypocrites. Surely Allah makes it obvious for mankind to see through universal realities and His revelations that He is all knowing wise ruler of this kingdom of the universe therefore able to guide mankind properly. 2] So be faithfully consistent with that which is revealed to you from your Creator and Sustainer because Allah being fully aware of all things makes you the mankind aware what you the people ought to be thinking and doing to end up in a kingdom wherein you could have blissful, dignified and secure existence. 3] Therefore rely upon guidance of Allah constantly, consistently, steadfastly and faithfully because way of life advised by Allah is sufficient for helping you take care of all your needs and affairs. 4] Guidance of Allah is so clear-cut about everything necessary that it never puts any person who is fully and properly prepared and committed to His mission in two minds to cause confusion in his mind, therefore He does not advise you to rely for your main support upon your ally communities with whom you have entered in alliances recently as compared to founding communities that have been part of this missionary struggle right from the start till they too go through necessary education, training and testing. Likewise He does not advise you about your newly invited allies who have recently joined you to take them as your core supporters just because you presume them fit for the task. These are mere assumptions on your part till they are put through proper education, training and testing. That is how Allah explains to you ground realities and guides you to think and do things in a way that is proper to save you from regretting your incorrect thoughts and actions later. Word JOWFIH is from root JEEM, WOW and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a vast area of low land. Also slope, downhill, declivity, acclivity, ups and downs, instability, chaos, inconsistency, vicissitudes, inside of something, belly or large belly, the very being of something, a very large pot or vessel, a person with highly capable personality, personality of a person based upon a very wide and very deep life experience, a person that has vast capacity or ability, a person who can take in much or can put up with much, a person not troubled by things easily, a person capable of coping under very high pressure, stomach or vast stomach, a person with a large heart, courageous, brave, a person having capacity or capability of a warrior, inside of a container or a house, lower body of a person, a person of a huge reputation, a great personality, depth of something, something that has vast depth in some sense, cavity, coward, a person without a heart, a person who lacks courage or confidence, chest, breast, body, organisation, association, company, companionship, interior, valley, to be hollow, to penetrate, camel or something like a camel in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense etc etc. Deen of Islam is basically a mission that by its very nature requires a movement till it becomes a reality in the real world therefore any people who join deen of Islam are bound to become missionaries who ought to know it properly and then they ought to spread it faithfully so that it could become an established reality. These verses therefore explain very clearly the vital importance of guidance of Allah for humanity in that particular context. This surah deals with organisation and regulation of a human society that is based upon guidance of Allah. All this to ensure success of mission assigned to mankind by Allah for their own good. These verses tell Muslims not to involve new comers in frontline activities that need people who ought to be knowing already what they are supposed to be thinking and doing in certain situations for success of the mission. It is because Muslims did not keep up with learning and following such like important directives that they lost proper understanding of the Quran and its mission therefore they have been failing to follow it faithfully. The result is division among Muslims on basis of religion and secularism so deen of Islam is nowhere to be seen in reality. If anything Muslims are divided into many sects on basis of dogmatic creeds which they claim to be Islam. However if people want a blissful, dignified and secure existence then they have no choice but to learn the message of the Quran properly and spread it faithfully far and wide so that deen of Islam becomes an established reality in this kingdom of Allah called the world. No doubt the Quran is a clear message for humanity from Allah in the sense that Allah speaks with actual knowledge about things but he has created mankind knowing nothing at all and it takes people time to become literate, educated, trained and skilled in thinking and doing things so it is not easy for people to make any sense of the message of Allah let alone the proper sense that Allah wants people to have. However once people become learned about something then it becomes easy for them and the same can be said about the Quran and its mission. After all humanity has managed to make so much sense of the universe in which they are born so days are not far when people will become well versed in the knowledge the Quran wants people to have beginning with proper knowledge about the way of life advised by Allah. In this verse Allah is assuring mankind there are no contradictions within the Quran nor any conflicts between the statements of the Quran and the actual realities of the real world which could cause confusions in minds of people. If one thinks there are conflicts within the statement of the Quran or between the statements of the Quran and the real world realities then one has not understood the message properly the way it should be understood. In that case one should try and understand the way the message of the Quran should be understood and that will help clear the confusion one gets oneself into. 5] So introduce them to their education and training experts that is the proper thing to do according to guidance of Allah, but if you cannot introduce them to their training fathers because you do not have available trainers or training places for the time being then they are your brothers in DEEN of Islam and your supporters so use their support properly and effectively as you see fit. There should not be brought any charge against you for any unintentional mistake you make in this regard because charges should only be brought for things that you do wrong to each other with the intention of your minds. That is how Allah protects you the mankind through His program, constitution and law that can lead people to blissful, dignified and secure existence. Once any people join the movement they must be first educated, trained and tested properly and then deployed in the field of work for the mission in the related capacity. This too is not easy thing to do particularly when the movement has just begun. People learn from experimenting with things so there are going to be made some mistakes till people get hang of things because only practice makes people perfect. Such mistakes should not be taken the wrong way instead people should be given time to get better at doing things with time and practice. It is like a child starts learning to read or write and makes ample mistakes before becoming an expert in reading and writing. At no point one should be discouraged from trying to learn something one is supposed to be learning. Wrong mindsets, attitudes and behaviour of people could ruin the whole mission or movement so all participants need to be careful and need to try their best to fulfil the program. It is never easy to organise and regulate people or to help them do so therefore all should concentrate on what they are trying to accomplish rather than trying to pick fights with each other by being unnecessarily and overly critical of each other. It is because only through help and support of each other people can accomplish the mission not otherwise. Therefore people should adopt what works and leave what does not and discover ways of doing things better and better and use them rather than dwelling on inefficient ways of doing things. To begin with there may not be enough teachers or not enough classes or learning sessions etc etc, so people should try and understand the situations and be helpful rather than creating problems and troubles for each other. So long as people cooperate whole heartedly with each other in a sensible way things are bound to succeed. Here the Quran advises people to make proper use of human resource so that it does not go to waste. If people cannot be used for one thing try and find another way of making proper use of them. As explained already in detail, deen of Islam is basically about proper management of people as well as land and resources, means of production and distribution for ensuring well being of mankind. This is why each and every step has to be in line with all the rest of steps so that the whole thing works or functions properly as a single unit or system. Here the Quran is telling people to set-up education and training institutions and put people in-charge over them and invite people to education and training through them. It is also telling people to have sufficient number of places for this purpose so that all people get proper education and training and on time. Elsewhere in the Quran people have been told to ensure monitoring, testing and feedback so that any mistakes or faults or defects could be detected and corrected in time. All this is absolutely necessary for the proper set-up and functioning of a proper human community according to the Quran which wants a self regulated human society. A people who lack proper education and training are good for nothing at all. That is what rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters have turned this ummah into ie a bunch of useless people through misinterpreting and misrepresenting the message of the Quran. 6] The prophet is foremost responsible for supporting and protecting those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind from their own people because they have left their communities to join him so his communities are now their communities. Therefore people who are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind from among the hosts and the refugees due to being bound together according to book of Allah are supporters and protectors of each other, so no matter what you people should do whatever is necessary for ensuring well being of each other as a proper human community to the best of your abilities. This has been the written law of Allah for you the mankind since the beginning of Our revelations. This verse tells Muslims that when they invite people to message of God and they come then that is not the end of their responsibility to them rather they must absorb them into their own community as brethren and provide them with all they need as a community till they become fully integrated and start contributing to the new community they have become part of. Had this not been taught and Muslims did not respond to them this way they would have stopped others from joining this community and will have gone back to their own original communities and message of the Quran would have fallen on deaf ears. This verse shows what Islam is all about ie it is about people and their needs and fulfilling them properly by having a society that manages its people and resources properly. The Quran is talking about a truly caring and sharing human community which it calls ummah. Muslim ummah is not about people who use and abuse each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. This is not the Islamic way of life at all but way of life of those who reject and oppose deen of Islam. A big slap on faces of stupid mullahs who think one can be a Muslim and at the same time a ruler over the people or a money lender who uses people abusively for personal gains at their expense. Deen of Islam has nothing at all to do with buying and selling things to each other in the name of Islam. It is about working together as a team for production of things and once things are there about distributing them between people freely according to their needs as already explained in detail. Deen of Islam puts an end to all sort of abusive use of people by each other because it is about willing cooperation between people on basis of living for ensuring the well being of each other as told by Allah. Any people who can do more must do more and any people who cannot do anything due to natural causes are not required to do anything instead responsibilities for looking after their well being rest upon others who can as a community. Each person knows how good one is or can be in sight of Allah and community so none can make fool of others even if one wanted to, which cannot be expected of a person who truly accepts message of Allah and adopts way of life advised by him out of one’s own conviction. Although prophethood has been ended by Allah but people who are chosen by ummah to lead it as its chief administrators must ensure the same thing that the prophets did in their own times for their people. The book of Allah is still there and its requirements for people still stand if they wish to have a blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community. Here we are also told deen of Islam was always basically the very same from the very first messenger of Allah to the very last. 7] You can call to mind the agreement which We entered with all Our prophets and their people one after the other as they were appointed and assigned the mission, likewise We are doing with you the prophet and your people as We did with Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus leader of community of Mariam. We entered in a binding agreement with all of them that they must fulfil their part and We will do Our part, 8] that is why those who have entered the agreement are asked to prove true to their agreement because those who will reject and oppose it will set themselves on a course to terrible painful suffering. The Quran repeatedly talks about the covenant between Allah and his messengers and their people. This is the covenant that is talked about in the very first surah of the Quran. Allah tells people to agree on following his guidance faithfully and promises that he will deliver them blissful, dignified and secure life in this very kingdom of the universe by way of set-up processes, systems, structures, mechanism and laws. However as missionaries spread the message of the Quran people whose vested interests become endangered react the way they know. These people with vested interests are rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters who are beneficiaries of the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. This shows which people are spreading false propaganda against deen of Islam and why even today and that is why Muslims are not wrong in blaming these people for their role in keeping masses confused and in chaos worldwide. Not only that but where false propaganda fails to work they use terrible violence in order to force people to live by their invented and adopted ways of life. This is why the war is on always in different places throughout the world. No matter what these people did mission of Allah always kept expanding and gaining ground, which is a clear proof that deen of Allah is bound to become an established reality one day in not too distant future. 9] So O you who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, understand properly and follow faithfully as well as spread message of Allah faithfully which is bestowed upon you for mankind to have blissful, dignified and secure existence and call to mind the time when there came upon you forces to attack and destroy you but because We sent upon them such forces based upon Our revelation which you could not envisage thereby We saved you, that is how Allah makes obvious for you the mankind that He understands fully what you people need to think and do for having a blissful, dignified and secure existence. The surah begins with informing the prophet about what he is supposed to do and not to do as the leading person for the mission of Allah. He is supposed to understand the message he received from Allah properly and to follow it faithfully and let it be known to other exactly as he received it. However when he did that people began coming to him to form a proper human community so he started organising and regulating them to the best of his ability. However as community began to form and take shape others with vested interests became alert and tried to derail the movement in various ways. Some even pretended to be sincere member of this new community in order to attack it from within. Allah told the prophet right from the start to prepare his supporters well for things to come so as people joined him he did not sit idle himself nor he let them sit idle instead he began to educate and train them so that they in turn do the same and so the movement spreads. When rejecters and opponents of deen of Islam could not get their way quietly they began to prepare for attacks and attacked this newly formed community repeatedly. The community was so well prepared that they could not destroy it despite trying each and everything that came to their minds but instead it spread faster and faster due to reaction of rejecters and opponents of deen of Islam. This verse explains that it was due to proper understanding and faithful following of the message that this community survived. Had they not learned and followed the message they had no chance to survive the onslaught of their enemies who were hell bent upon destroying them completely, This is how Allah draws attention of mankind to his ability of being able to guide them properly if they choose to be guided by studying his message properly and following it faithfully. Words REEHAA and JUNOODAA do not mean some supernatural intervention by Allah but his life giving force ie revelation which turns simple people into a very powerful force through inspiring them. It was all this together that managed to save Muslims from all attacks by their opponents. This is why all this is said to be a blessing of Allah which proved to be a blessing in reality when time came for testing of the truth about the allegedly divine revelation as well as those who claimed to be its faithful followers. They all proved true save the hypocrites who began to show their true colours under testing conditions. 10] At the time the attackers came upon you from all directions in every way they could think to overwhelm you and the eyes of the hypocrites from among you became stuck due to horror and their hearts gaped up to their throats due to fear so the hypocrites from among you began to think wrong thoughts about mission of Allah. Word ASFAL is from root SEEN, FAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is lowliness. Also lower classes, masses, down trodden, working classes, socially isolated or social rejects, people who commit petty crimes, despicable, under dogs, disgraced or debased, people looked down upon, people looked down upon disdainfully, poor, worthless, useless, confused, unstable, people who have no firm standing or foundation, people who live disorganised and unregulated lives, people who are illiterate or uneducated or untrained or unskilled, uncultivated or uncultured or uncivilised people, people lacking in manners, untamed or wild people, the lowest of the low, utterly disgraceful people, to go low or be low, to be base, to be vile, lower or lowest part of an object, low positions, abject, dilapidated, shrivelled, inferior, infernal, awful, abominable, fiendish, diabolical, irritating, confounded, restrained, chained or bound, extremely troublesome or quarrelsome, annoying, outrageous, a person from hell, wicked, evil, criminal, down below, more or most degraded, most humble, most vanquished, down to earth, raw material, something in its original or natural state or form, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense etc etc. Word ZAAGHAT is from root ZAA, YAA and GHAIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to move away in some sense from something. Also to deviate, to move aside, to turn away, to become struck by horror, to become stuck in one place, to go wild, to move away from a set position or status or situation in some sense, to fail to focus, to roll, to stray, to turn into a stone in some sense, to become frozen, to freeze, to stop moving, to become fixed, perversity, to stare in horror, to be taken aback by a situation, to be surprised, to suffer an ambush, to suffer a sudden attack, to swerve, to cause to deviate, to be caught unprepared by a situation, to incline to one side, declining of the sun, to move away from what is proper, to raise one’s gaze, eyes remaining still in fully open position in case of witnessing some horrifying event, to have a biased view point, to have prejudice against something or someone, tool or weapon or something like a tool or weapon in some sense, to be instrumental in something in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense etc etc. Word HANAAJIR is from root HAA, NOON, JEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is throat. Also windpipe, lifeline, livelihood, breathing passage or place or space, to cut throat, to choke, to slay, larynx, to kill by cutting throat, to sacrifice, to murder, to destroy, to ruin, to cut off one’s lifeline, to have something fully under control, to get one by the throat, to hold one by the neck, to limit something in some sense, to stop something in some sense, to end something in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense, camel or something like a camel in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. This verse shows the people who do not truly believe in a cause do not lay down their lives for it they rather save themselves any way they can. The reason is not that the cause is necessarily false or not worth laying down one’s life for but that they have the mindset, attitude and behaviour of avoiding things unless they affect them directly and they are forced to act in their own self interest. This is due to their lack of interest in knowing important things in their lives and due to lack of knowledge about vitally important things in life they follow whatever comes to their mind that serves their personal interest in any given situation or time or place. This leads them to a life of insincerity and misery. Such people therefore waste their lives away without achieving anything worthwhile in their lives. Their lives are worst than all creatures regardless living or nonliving. It is because all living and nonliving things Allah has programmed for his purpose so they do what they have been created for other than human beings who have been bestowed with will and choice as well and so people who do not learn about importance of this ability of choice and purpose of life etc cannot be better than anything else in this universe. It is one thing to try and fail and quite another to not even bother. When Muslims are attacked by their opponents the hypocrites fell at the first hurdle. They right of away thought this is the end of deen of Islam. This was very bad for Muslims because it could give their opponents the impression that Muslims are running away from the battlefield so easily, which could also make faithful Muslims lose their courage as well seeing others from among their fellows are running away from the battle field to save themselves. However the faithful Muslims stood their ground in the battlefield no matter what till death or victory over their opponents. All this was result of their own self confidence due to guidance of Allah because of having proper knowledge about it and because of their faithful following of it. It shows what deen of Islam is all about and who true Muslims actually are. By looking at state of most of the people who claim to be Muslims today one can never think these people are Muslims at all. There is not much to see to get the right impression about deen of Islam from the Muslims. There is no real brotherhood or ummah concept in them because each is living for oneself not bothered with what happens to others. In fact some Muslims are busy using other Muslims abusively for personal gains at their expense. This is exactly what the KUFAAR do as people can see them and as far as the Quran is concerned so where is Islam in these like people? According to the Quran people who do not live by what is revealed by Allah are KAFIROON, ZAALIMOON and FAASOQOON. So Muslims need to think what kind of Muslims they are and are they really Muslims in the sight of God as he has explained in the Quran? This shows just declaring that I commit to deen of Islam is not enough rather one has to do all one can to ensure one is furthering the cause of deen of Islam beginning with learning the message of deen of Islam properly and then teaching it to others. If people like it and they come together to make it a reality in the real world then go through steps clearly explained already. 11] Through that testing situation were put by their opponents those who were truly committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity for mankind but they were moved to utmost degree into action by a strongest motivational force to respond appropriately and they succeeded. This verse shows how the message of Allah proves its usefulness for mankind by giving them courage by inspiring them into appropriate thoughts and actions to deal with all situations and circumstances that may ever face humanity. Otherwise as things become overwhelming people lose their senses and do not know what to do and even create havoc all by themselves making the bad situation worse. Even courageous and hard working people are taken aback when unexpected things happen like overwhelming disasters. However Muslims went on a mission and knew what to expect along the way from those who were backing undue and abusive human exploitation so they prepared for facing any such situation. No wonder the Quranic message is very powerful indeed yet its potential and influence is hugely underestimated even by those who claim to be its followers and supporters. One can see from here how a small number of people could root a big army ie it was all due to having proper knowledge and skills and keeping senses intact in times of troubles. 12] Whereas the hypocrites in whose minds were harmful and destructive ambitions and desires who were looking forward to failure of this mission spread the rumours that Allah and His messenger promised us nothing but falsehood. A worthless people who do not do anything themselves for the good of humanity are more interested in whether those who are standing up for a worthy cause are getting anywhere or not and if they see any sign of worry they give fuel to the fire of doubt in order to make bad situation worse for them. This is what hypocrites did to Muslims repeatedly yet they never learned the lesson. 13] This is why at the time a party of them said, O people of Yathrib, it is not within your capability to cope with this overwhelming situation so give up this resistance and return to your old ways of life. That is why a party of them sought leave of the prophet saying, our set-up institutions and structures are not sufficient to deal with this kind of overwhelming situation even though they were not insufficient at all rather they had decided to run away from the battlefield by way of false excuses. Word YASRIB is from root SAA, RAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is thin layer of fat over the stomach of an animal. Also thin layer of fat that is stuck with blood vessels in an animal, to remove thin layer of fat from the stomach or blood vessels, to fold, to twist, to rebuke, to hold accountable or liable, to seek clarification, to condemn, to blame, to accuse, to make one regret one’s thought or action, ancient name of city of Madinah in Saudi Arabia, fingers, to point out faults, to point a finger, to abuse, top reproach, to upbraid, to reproof, womb or something like a womb in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense etc etc. These people this verse is talking about are those who do not want to play effective role for ensuring well being of humanity themselves and discourage others from doing so in order to try and cause mission to fail. It is because they knew if mission succeeds they will have to contribute more and more as more and more people join the ummah. They were looking at their own pockets and getting worried more and more rather than the affects the message of the Quran was having on the minds of the sincere people all around them. 14] Had the attackers managed to enter upon them within the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah and told them to rebel against the kingdom they will have done it without any hesitation, If people who opposed the mission secretly had the opportunity to escape this onslaught they could have waged a war against the mission openly but all their conspiracies and tricks failed them because most of the people who joined the mission stuck to it through thick and thin. In the end these people only exposed themselves again and again by their own words and deeds against the mission and suffered the consequences for doing that. 15] even though they had already entered the covenant with Allah earlier not to turn their backs on His mission so going against the mission of Allah after agreeing to support it must be answered for. 16] Say to them, your running away from the battlefield from defending the mission of Allah due to fear of death or destruction will not bring you the promised reward and you will not be able to enjoy living in this world but only for a little while more. This like verses make clear to people like these that whatever happens to this mission from God the end result for its opponents is very bad. If mission succeeds then they will have to live with regrets due to suppression of their ambitions and desires for enslaving others and if mission fails then soon people will divide and hatred will settle in communities and they will tear each other apart for personal gains at each other’s expense. So these people are in loss for sure no matter which way things go. 17] Say to them, who can protect you against harms and destructions that you inflict upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other if Allah decides to leave you to yourselves to fall victim to each other’s aggression or who can prevent you from ensuring your own well being through guidance of Allah that can lead you to blissful, dignified and secure existence if that is purpose of Allah for providing you with His guidance? The fact is, none can find them any ruler other than Allah who could protect and support them like Him. 18] Surely Allah makes obvious from among you those who try to hold each other back from working for success of His mission such as say to each other stick with us for staying away from the missionary work because they themselves seldom take part in battles worth fighting and what little they do they do it for show. Most people live aimless therefore worthless lives and that is why world is the way it is. If people educated and trained themselves to have purposeful lives then world could have changed very much for the better. This is why all ways that take people away from having purposeful lives are not good for humanity to adopt because they could lead mankind to wasting their lives away. In case of aimless lives people live just for eating and eat just for sake of living and they look for ways to pass their time because they feel bored with life. On the other hand people who have a lot on their minds to do find life too short for doing all they wish to accomplish for the good of mankind, so they have no time to waste and never get time to get bored. However it is usual for people to pull each other towards the direction they themselves like therefore people who love the mission assigned to them by Allah try their best to pull people to their side while their opponents try to pull people to their side. Some do this up front but others try to hide their true intentions and cause problems for their opponents. However the way Allah has set up things such people are found out so they cannot hide their true intentions for long. All this because whatever motivates people ultimately shows through their own actions when they try to turn their intentions into self evident realities. It is because you are `going to do what you intend to do as soon as you get the chance to do it. 19] Because they are ever reluctant in assisting you in any way and instead try to hinder you yet whenever they sense they are in danger from the people like themselves they look towards you for help with fear showing through their eyes as if they were at the point of death but when they see themselves out of danger they only come to you with their sharp tongues to insult you still resisting supporting you for ensuring the well being of the proper human community. Such people do not have true commitment to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind through backing it up with their actions. Allah has exposed them through their own such actions that they are of no real benefit for the proper human community and to expose them as such by way of their own actions was not at all difficult for Allah. Word ASHIHHAH is from root SHEEN, HAA and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to compete. Also to rival or oppose, to stand in opposition, to contend, to take for an enemy, to fight over, to be niggardly or stingy, to be tenacious, paucity or scarcity, to lack in things, to be poor, to be mean or avaricious, to be covetous, to be jealous, to envy, to try to outdo someone else in some sense for some reason or purpose, to hinder, to begrudge, to have bad feeling when something good happens to someone else out of envy, to burn inside out of jealousy when someone gets something good or something good happens to someone, to go for personal gains at the expense of others, to be greedy or selfish, to think of oneself more important than others, to be self centred, to be reluctant to assist or support, to give oneself priority over others, to try to dominate others, to try to undermine others, to be a boaster, to be full of hot air, to shield or shelter, to cover up, to protect, to provide with refuge, to restrict, to confine, to bind or set limits or boundaries, to be full of false pride or self worth, the one who over estimates oneself or over values oneself, to dispute, to fight over, to argue or debate, to think high of oneself, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense etc etc. Here the Quran tells us most people are very foolish because they do not learn even from their own life experiences. People know it very well that they are living by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other therefore as rivalry gets worse and worse some people lose out to others in competition and at that point in time they look for help and support of others because if they do not get that help and support they will become eliminated however after getting that help and support when they become strong again they go back to way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other, not realising the advantages of the way of life based upon brotherhood of humanity which revived them. However this cycle will keep on repeating itself till people have learned the lesson the hard way. 20] They think the threat of more attacks by hordes has not gone away yet and if the hordes do return for more attacks then they will be better off living among the desert Arabs, so that they do not have to do anything to defend the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah and they rather seek the news about how well you the Muslims are doing against the hordes from a safe distance but even if they happen to be living among you they will only take a little part in the actual fighting just for show. These like verses show the Quranic message is not consistent with ambitions and desires of such people who want to live all by themselves when it comes to supporting others but they want to grab all they can from everyone else when it comes to personal gains. Having greedy opportunist kind of people around oneself is a very dangerous thing because they stab you in the back while you are engaged in defending yourself against the frontal attack. 21] Indeed in the way the messenger of Allah and his supporters have handled this whole missionary affair there is an appropriate example to follow for a people who wish to abide by program, constitution and law of Allah as a proper human community in a kingdom for their bright future therefore keep all this in forefront of your minds and spread the message of Allah widely to help make His advised way of life that can lead people to blissful, dignified and secure existence a manifest reality for mankind. Word USWAH is from roots ALIF, SEEN, WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is cure. Also remedy or solution, to console or comfort, to treat equally, pillar or support, to alleviate, to uplift, to raise, to allay fear or worry or sorrow or sadness, to offer help and support in time of crises or loss, to repair a fault or defect, to fix something broken or damaged, to correct an error or disorder, to put a bandage upon a wound, to counteract or rectify a problem or mistake or an undesirable situation, to relieve or provide relief, to cure disease, worry or sadness or distress, model, exemplar, grief or sorrow, medicine, medical practitioner, state when one is following someone or something in some sense for some reason, to follow advice of a medical practitioner, to follow advice of a counsellor, to counsel, to advise, to follow a way of doing something, to follow someone as an example for doing something, stick or something like a stick in some sense, power, authority, God, bull, bull head, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, tradition, constitution, rule of law, custom, something painful, something flexible, something that holds or bites, hook or something like a hook in some sense, something twisted or bent in some sense, something deceptive, something reliable, something upon which something could be hanged, something with which something could be linked or connected, hand or something like a hand in some sense, grip, reach, jurisdiction, handle, to have a hand in something, to use underhand, to show one’s hand in something in some way, to trick, to have something in one’s control etc etc. It is very important to note that the Quran never advises people to adopt personality cults. What is meant by example of prophet is made very clear in this verse ie following the way of life advised by Allah just like all the prophets did. There is no blind following of anyone in deen of Islam not even a prophet or any message of God. It is of great importance that people learn what is true and what is false and what is right and what is wrong and follow what is true and proper. Mullaism has no place in deen of Islam and deen of Islam is based upon message of Allah and all people including the messengers of Allah always understood the message of Allah properly and followed it faithfully. The prophets of Allah showed people how to go about making the mission of Allah a success. As explained already in detail examples of messengers of Allah do not mean imitating the prophets just for sake of it as mullahs tell people. There is no need for smoke signals or for fighting with swords and spears or for riding on camels and donkeys etc etc. 22] This is why when the ones truly committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind saw the hordes coming to attack them in response to their invitation to deen of Islam they said, this is what Allah already told us about through His messenger and what Allah told us through His messenger has proven true. This increased their confidence in the mission which in turn increased their commitment to the success of the mission leading them to work even harder for the mission. Long before other people accepted Quranic message the people already part of ummah already knew how effective the Quranic message is but they also knew people who are going to be affected by this mission are not going to sit idle ie the rulers, the money lenders, the priests, their touts and supporters. People of ummah were already told they will be attacked by them so they should be ready to make huge sacrifices including dying for the cause. This is why the messenger of Allah was told to prepare himself and his supporters well for what was expected in reaction to preaching of message of deen of Islam. It already happened many times before as well when earlier messengers of Allah went about with their missionary works whose stories are told in the Quran so it was nothing new. If ummah wants to base its kingdoms upon the program, constitution and law of Allah for accomplishing the goals set for it by Allah according to his provided guidelines then this will have to be done again and again for re-establishing such kingdoms as well as for maintaining them. This leaves one in no doubt what deen of Islam actually is. It is not what mullahs tell us it is ie a dogmatic creed called religion that is full of nonsense dished out by priestly classes of all religions. Deen of Islam is basically about society, its politics and economics in the name of God for the good of humanity. 23] Among those who claimed to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind there were people of their word who have been true to their covenant with Allah, of them some have fulfilled their vow through sacrificing their lives and what they had already and some others of them who are still waiting for doing the same and have not changed their commitment to the success of this mission even in the least. One sacrifices one’s life by dedicating oneself to a cause or goal. The Quran does not make empty promises ie it promises returns for thoughts and actions of people. No pain no gain but pain must only be taken for worthy goals according to appropriate guidelines for proper gains. Deen of Islam condemns individuality as well as commonality if it is not based upon proper goals and guidelines and recommends individuality as well as commonality that is based upon worthy proper goals and guidelines. This is why regardless people are capitalists or communists or mixed economy wise. They are secular or religious ideologically. They are authoritarian or democratic in practice they do not and cannot serve interests of humanity because they lack the foundation and all that is needed for bringing about a proper human community for ensuring well being of humanity. It is because the goals and guidelines needed for serving humanity are absent from their beliefs and practices. Their goals and guidelines are based upon idea of divide and rule people, not unite and serve humanity as explained in detail already. So deen of Islam is very different from all ideologies and practices that people have invented and adopted so far. 24] All this was allowed to happen so that Allah rewarded with His promised outcome those who proved true to their commitment in form of their words to His assigned mission for them through their deeds and so that He let those with harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours become exposed by their own deeds and land themselves thereby in painful suffering so that they could repent and reform if they so desired because Allah surely protects and secures mankind through His blissful program. 25] Moreover that is how Allah brought about change of mind in those who fought against His mission out of shear rage always having to retreat with yet more fire of hatred without gaining any worthy advantage over His missionaries because sufficient for guiding them in their struggle was message of Allah who truly committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind for message of Allah is a mighty powerful base for a people to found their proper human community upon. Here Allah is telling us that all people who fight against his mission do so out of ignorance based arrogance thinking they can easily dominate Muslims by undermining them. However when things start after a while they find that it is not the case so they try to get out of troubles they create for themselves due to their own foolishness. This gives them an opportunity to reflect and ask themselves what makes Muslims so strong as they are despite looking so weak and fragile. Many therefore turn to deen of Islam after realising it is the revelation of Allah from which they drive their strength. So all falsehood people spread about deen of Islam backfires on themselves. 26] Similarly He exposed for their hypocrisy and treachery by bringing them out from their fortresses by letting fear take hold of their minds such of the people of the book who supported the opponents of His mission openly and secretly out of concern in their minds for success of His mission. As a result of their partaking in the fights against you the missionaries some of them you killed in the battle and some of them you took prisoners and that is how you limited them in their ability to interfere in the affairs of proper human community. Word SAYAASEE is from root SWAAD, YAA and SWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is horn of an animal which it uses as a weapon for its protection. Also fort, dam, re-enforcement, backing, to support, flock or herd or group of things, a school of fish, anything that gives something its sense of security, long sharp cow horn, spearhead, fortress, stronghold, any place of exceptional security, a place or source of refuge, plant or tree or something like a plant or tree in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. 27] That is why He made you people the managers of their lands and their institutions as well as of all that they had to manage things as you are guided by Allah in the areas of their jurisdiction wherein you had never set your foot before. All this was allowed to happen because Allah has set-up systems and laws for all things to operate according to His program to fulfil His plan and purpose. Allah has put in place measures which set standard to make things go according to his plan for his set purpose so when a people go far in the wrong direction then Allah lets another people take over them so that people keep each other in check this way as explained in detail already. The same happens in case of Muslims when they go off the right track. Deen of Islam is not about some people grabbing land and resources to control others but about ensuring proper use of provisions of Allah for the well being of humanity so the only way to ensure what Allah wants people to do is to understand his guidance properly and follow it faithfully. So long as people will avoid doing that, things will never be as good for mankind as they can be according to the Quran. It is because if people will not go by guidance of Allah then they will always do something harmful and destructive to each other for personal gains at each other’s expense therefore they can never live in peace with each other instead they will keep on doing things for getting each other so outcome of this sort of way of life cannot be any better than what it has been always. This is why people must decide which way they wish to go. If they wish to continue living by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other then they should be prepared for the outcome of their thoughts and actions accordingly in due course. Should they decide to go by way of life advised by Allah then they will have the outcome as explained in the Quran. One way of life lands people into mindset of rivalry with each other and the other into help and support. This is why whatever good people gain through rivalry can be increased many folds by cooperation and harmony. This is because two people working together for livelihood can accomplish much more than two people fighting each other and also working for their livelihood. 28] So O you the prophet, say to your ally parties that if you support me only because you intend personal gains at the expense of others in form of things that make life beautiful for you personally instead of commitment to the assigned mission of Allah then come, I will give you your community share of things and let you be on your way to live as you see fit for yourselves. Since there are two kinds of people among Muslims ie the truly committed people to cause of deen of Islam and those who have other agendas therefore people are asked to decide who they are really working for, Allah or their self interests. It is because without sincere supporters of a cause the cause cannot succeed and it is better to know who is really with the and who is not really with the cause so that one could then take further steps accordingly as people decide. Here the messenger of Allah is making clear to people that if they have joined him for their personal agendas then this is the end of alliance but if they have joined him to make the mission assigned by Allah a success then they have yet a lot to put up with so they need to prepare themselves really well accordingly because that is what is expected of them. This decision had to be made because some people from among Muslims did not show by their thoughts and actions they were truly committed to cause of deen of Islam. If anything their actions nearly caused damage to the mission, so true Muslims and pretenders or hypocrites etc had to be separated for ensuring no such problems came up in the future. People being a brotherhood produced whatever they could together and distributed things whatever they could to help and support each other. Since those who caused concern were part of the brotherhood so they too had a share in all that was produced therefore they were given right to whatever share was due for them if they chose to go their own way. After this decision who is with the mission and who is not it is made very clear to all that this movement is going to go full speed ahead from now on and if anyone tried to go any other way then one will be dealt with harshly in future just as one will be rewarded greatly. This was a very good step by the prophet because it restored confidence of people in each other as a brotherhood. Those who were suspects for not participating fully and properly were given an opportunity to prove themselves from now on if they wish to remain part of the brotherhood. 29] However if you the parties intend to support the mission of Allah through supporting His messenger for a blissful, dignified and secure existence of people in a kingdom as the end goal then you are hereby assured that Allah has prepared a great plan to reward those of you who will work for creating a beautiful world for themselves as a proper human community. 30] On the other hand O communities of the prophet, if any of you will clearly set yourselves on the path other than the path set by Allah, its hardships in due course will increase many folds and to let you know about it in advance was easy for Allah. Here Allah warns people that leaving deen of Islam will land people in troubles in due course but deciding to remain part of brotherhood and then working against it will not be tolerated in future either so whoever decides to go must do so now and whoever decides to remain must also make oneself aware what is expected of him or her and what will happen if one is found guilty of fulfilling one’s own agenda instead of working for the mission of Allah for ensuring well being of mankind. 31] Those of you the communities which are consistent with guidance of Allah along with His messenger and do works that help proper human community develop and progress in due course will keep on increasing the outcome of their thoughts and actions many folds because for them We have prepared this program to grant them abundant prosperity as outcome of their own thoughts and actions. Word YAQNUT is from root QAAF, NOON and TAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to act to make something happen. Also to take a stand for something and do it, to establish something, to stop talking and start doing what needs to be done, to put a plan into action, to act to turn an idea into a reality, to act to establish something, to preserve energy or things and use them properly and effectively for fulfilling a purpose or goal, to act to accomplish a goal, a water skin that preserves water in such a way that it suffers no loss at all, a secure container, someone who does not waste one’s labour even in the least and only uses it for accomplishing some goal, to do something constantly and consistently as well as steadfastly according to some specification or set standard, to be obedient or submissive or humble, to be fully committed to some cause, to be righteous or pious, to be a devout follower of some standard or person or thing, to ask for something from someone in some sense, to express desire for something to someone, to pray, to devote oneself to God or mission of God, to act as a missionary for deen of Allah, one spending a long time for ensuring success of a cause, to offer oneself for mission of God, a devotee, an obedient person, a constant person, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, one who hangs on to something like a monkey hangs down from a branch of a tree, someone agile or clever or fast mover like a monkey, someone mischievous or deceptive or illusive, fish or something like a fish in some sense, something slippery or energetic or smooth, womb or something like a womb in some sense, coffin, chest, box, container, basket, a collection of things, a collection of writings, a book, something that preserves things in some sense etc etc. 32] O ally communities of the prophet, you are not like other communities because you are to be bedrock of humanity, so if you desire to remain consistent with guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of humanity then you should not be lazy, crazy or careless in carrying out your assigned constitutional and legal duties and responsibilities or tasks in case any party that harbours in its mind any harmful and destructive ambitions and desires against mankind is thereby encouraged and spreads its harmful and destructive propaganda to fulfil its agenda against the mission of Allah which is for ensuring well being of mankind, therefore act to turn into reality all that you claim to be committed to as deen of Islam by way of appropriate thoughts and actions. 33] Therefore set-up and run institutions properly by remaining well within your constitutionally set limits in your jurisdictions and do not let your rivalry based dominance over each other manifest itself again among you as you used to do in the days of ignorance before committing to this program, constitution and law of Allah instead establish a proper human community network by working hard for attaining freedom from all ills in your human community and that is how you should prove that you are consistent with program, constitution and law of Allah along with His messenger. Through His revealed program, constitution and law Allah only intended that He should set you on a course to remove all that is harmful and destructive for you the proper human community to free you completely from the idea of inflicting harm and destruction upon each other for reason of petty personal gains at the expense of each other, O claimants of following Our revealed program, constitution and law. 34] Therefore strive hard to make it a reality by your organised and regulated purposeful thoughts and actions the guidance which is proclaimed and explained within your homes, and institutions or jurisdictions as goals and guidelines of Allah through implementation of program, constitution and law to realise the fact that Allah is aware of even the finest of the details about things. Verses like this keep telling Muslims to understand properly and implement faithfully the divine program so that humanity could see it in its true form in the real world and then rest of people come and adopt it so that mankind could then concentrate on next goal of conquering the universe together for their own benefit and so make glory of their creator and sustainer a reality in front of their own eyes through such a beautiful way of life that helps turn the universe into a beautiful world for mankind. So people who can do all this will have to have the qualities or capabilities the Quran points out because only those like people can bring about that kind of outcome through their thoughts and actions as is required by the Quran of humanity. These people need to be well prepared individually as well as groups or parties or communities. All men and women leaders and supporter must fulfil whatever is required of them according to the best of their abilities so that they could end up in blissful, dignified and secure existence in a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. [35] Surely for the Muslimeen and the Muslimaat such as the Mumineen and the Muminaat such as the Qaaniteen and the Qaanitaat such as the Saadiqeen and the Saadiqaat such as the Saabireen and the Saabiraat such as the Khaashieen and the Khashiaat such as the Mutasaddiqeen and the Mutassaddiqaat such as the Saaimeen and the Saaimaat such as the Haafizeen of their furooj and the Hafizaat such as the Zaakireenallah kaseeraa and the Zakiraat Allah has promised blissful, dignified and secure existence in a kingdom as a great outcome for their very hard works according to His guidance. Words used in this verse have been explained already in detail as to what they mean so one has to give these words appropriate meanings that go with the flow of the context. These words can be taken for males and females as individuals or for leaders and their supporting communities or for chief administrators of various departments and the administrations working under them or administrators and communities they serve in their jurisdictions etc etc. Whichever people this verse is about, it is about a kind of people who are supposed to have these characteristics or qualities. It means no people can bring about a proper human community according to set standard of Allah unless they have what it takes to bring it about. These people will have to be highly knowledgeable about deen of Islam. They will have to be well trained and fully skilled in all that deen of Islam requires in people to bring about and maintain a proper human community. They will have to accept deen of Islam by confession. They will have to declare their commitment to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. They will have to stand up and do what is required of them to bring about and maintain a proper human community in a kingdom. They must prove their commitment to deen of Islam true by their thoughts and actions. They must be steadfast, constant and consistent in their approach to things so that they do not end up giving up the task assigned to them. They must remain down to earth in dealing with each other regardless of their achievements or accomplishments ie they must never try to dominate others by trying to undermine them. They must help others also to see and follow the truth and thereby strengthen and reinforce deen of Islam. They must refrain from doing anything that contravenes deen of Islam. They must ensure their vulnerabilities are well taken care of. They must always keep in forefront of their minds the guidance of Allah and remind others to do the same. As explained already in detail the Quranic text has complimentary parallel meanings so one see these words for their meanings elsewhere as well for better understanding. For words MUSLIMEEN and MUSLIMAAT one has to look for their meanings under root SEEN, LAAM and MEEM and likewise for words MUMINEEN and MUMINAAT one has to look under root ALIF, MEEM and NOON and so on. One has to notice that words like AALIM and AALIMA or AABID and AABIDAH are missing in this verse and the reason is one cannot have the told qualities without being a learned person and if one is a person of such qualities then one is automatically an AABID or AABIDAH. Generally when the Quran talks about things it includes all genders but here it uses words for both genders telling us as far as Allah is concerned, both men and women are equally responsible for going by the book of Allah. Men are not above women and women are not above men instead they both complement each other in grand scheme of Allah. This is why Allah tells both of them to promote well being of humanity and stop all one can that could harm or destroy mankind each to the best of his or her abilities. All this is regarding bringing about or maintaining a proper human community in a kingdom in an organised and regulated manner according to a fully worked constitution and law to accomplish the God set goals according to his provided guidelines through a program and action plan as already explained in detail. 36] It is not the right of any chief administrator who is committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of proper human community or any administration working with him which is also committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of proper human community to overrule any instruction regarding any matter given under their responsibility by the proper human community to carry it out without a proper excuse when a matter has been already decided by community through mutual consultation and instructed according to guidance of Allah through His messenger and whoever opposes rule of law of Allah by disregarding His message through His messenger has clearly strayed far off the proper way of doing things as well as proper way of life. Each and every person and institution in an Islamic kingdom is duty bound and responsible as an individual or institution day and night to ensure well being of the proper human community to the best of its ability. No person or institution has the right to overrule whatever community requires of it unless it has a proper excuse or justification. When people are working in institutions or offices because they have been put in place by their communities for purpose of meeting their needs they must follow the given programs according to constitution and laws. It is not their right to overrule things or not to fulfil their given duties and responsibilities appropriately. The proper human community ought to work like a machine with all its people and institutions as its components that must be in right places and in right order so that they all work in harmony to make the machine work properly. 37] However call to mind the time when you the community leadership advised the one who was blessed with brain, senses and body as well as proper understanding of guidance of Allah and whom you the community also blessed with official duty and responsibility to head a department of administration saying, stay with your department of administration faithfully by being consistent with program of Allah for ensuring well being of the proper human community yet you the community leadership was concerned about this appointment within yourself worrying about that which Allah was about to make manifest as to how the people will take it but it is the fulfilment of right of Allah that you the people should have been concerned about above all. However when the appointed person had completed his given task in the given time with the department and it was time for him to leave the position as a head of that community administration department and he decided to leave, We gave the community administration under your supervision so that you could if needed restructure it as appropriate and appoint another chief administrator for it with consent of community so that there do not arise any difficulties for people who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of proper human community to serve communities they are assigned to serve as part of community administrations once they have completed their given tasks in the given time with their already assigned administrations, because tasks set by Allah must be carried out fully and faithfully for ensuring the well being of the proper human community, not for petty personal gains at the expense of each other. Word ZAID is from root ZAA, YAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is additional. Also extra, over and above, more or more than, growth, increase, to multiply, to accumulate, to become more in quantity or size or amount or number or strength, to prosper, to give more or to make more, to strengthen, to reinforce, to back up, to support more, to gain more support, to become stronger ideologically or physically, excess, to augment, somebody, anybody, a person, a supposed name or person, such and such or so and so, someone, anyone, a person who does not exist in reality, a fictitious name, Tom; Dick or Harry, something more than needed, to be or become redundant, to become useless, to exceed need or expectation, superfluous, to exaggerate, to inflate, to go beyond one’s ability, to raise, to embellish, to create false reputation around something or someone, to improve, to make something more interesting or beautiful, to decorate, to add fictitious detail to something or someone, adjunct or accessory, addendum, disused, discarded, separate, excrescent, adscititious or ancillary or auxiliary, supplementary, unnecessary, not essential or fundamental, extrinsic, tool or weapon or instrument or something like a tool or weapon or an instrument in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense etc etc. Word WATARAA is from root WOW, TWAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a thing needed for fulfilling some purpose for which people become concerned and prepare. Also something essential or necessary, something that is needed for fulfilling some purpose without which the purpose cannot be served, an important or vital thing or part of thing, to decide to break up, to separate from something after it has served its purpose or fulfilled its need, to have enough of something, something no longer needed because the task that needed doing has become complete, purpose or goal or desire or want, term or condition, hook or something like a hook in some sense, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. This verse is about putting the right person in-change for the right job and that when one resigns or one’s contract expires the responsibility for renewing the position or contract is up to the community itself and the person. If the person or community thinks that one can no longer serve as required then one is allowed to retire or resign from the position so that someone else could take over who can serve the community better. However this is up to the main administration to decide because it they who educate and train people for serving community as has been explained in detail already. Anyone who knows someone can recommend one for the job but it is up to administration to ensure one given a task is able to perform it efficiently otherwise community will suffer if one could not therefore anyone who recommends anyone for any particular task worries for two reasons a)whether one will be able to carry out the task as required or fail and b)whether the recommended person will be accepted for the job or not by the community one is supposed to serve. This is why Allah tells, do what you sincerely think is right in this case by keeping in sight the reason why you are doing so ie for sake of fulfilling requirements of Allah. If any people know a particular commander of armed forces is more likely to win the war then not recommending that person will be failure on their part in fulfilling their God given responsibility. Educators and trainers know which person in their opinion is better able to do a job so they must recommend such people for serving the proper human community as are very capable in their opinions. Once a person has served one task one could be recommended for other tasks one after the other for as long as one is willing to take on the responsibility and thinks one can do it. Even if one fails for some unforeseen reason yet there is no harm in trying one’s best. Allah knows human are not free of making human errors but sincerity and goodwill in intention is all that counts. 38] There can never be any insurmountable obstacle in the way of a person raised to status of prophethood to prevent him from carrying out what Allah has set for him as a duty to fulfil. Such has been the set standard of Allah for choosing all the prophets who have gone before, for all measures have been put in place to work for fulfilling the purpose of Allah according to His plan. Here the Quran tells us that Allah chose such people for delivering his messages to mankind who were top people from among human beings in sense of mental and physical abilities. This is why there was none to stop them from doing their job properly. They were highly sensible and courageous people who received guidance from Allah and lived by it. It means deen of Islam will never become a reality till people unite upon its proper foundation and become a strong force. So there is a role in this mission for all human beings to whatever degree they can contribute individually to the best of their abilities particularly after the prophethood from God has ended. This verse tells us that no matter what people do to stop message of Allah from getting through to humanity it will get through in the end because Allah has set-up the universe and things in it to work that way. This means the set-up of universe is biased in favour of establishment of deen of Islam. 39] This is why people who are charged with duty of delivering the messages of Allah to rest of the mankind they become sincere and prepare well for this purpose and they pay no such attention to anything other than the mission of Allah because program, constitution and law of Allah can take care of all the problems the mankind face. Here Allah tells mankind rather than running about like headless chicken pay full attention to proper understanding of the messages of Allah and then deliver them to others because once people get the message with its proper understanding then all human problems will become solved due to people working hard with help of each other instead of fighting each other as enemies and not being able to make much progress. 40] It is not fitting for Muhammad that he should act as a dictator over any of you the people rather he is a final messenger of Allah who concludes the heavenly prophet-hood because Allah has made clear for the mankind everything He needed to. Word KHAATAM is from root KHAA, TAA and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to seal something that is open. Also to block something that is open, to shut or stop something in some sense that is moving in some sense, to end or finish or conclude something, to finalise something, to put a legal stamp on something to make it officially sealed and legally authentic, to put a barrier in the way of something to stop something from going any further, to discontinue something, to be the very last thing in the order of things, to cover, to hide, to secure, to shield, to shelter, to protect, to provide refuge or sanctuary for something, to contain something in some sense in something for some reason, container, sealing material, to seal up, to enclose, to brand, to mark, a ring, to wear a ring, to complete, the concluding one, the end part of something, final seal, crowning or finishing touch, coffin, chest, basket, chamber, room, fence or something like a fence in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. The idea expressed in this verse seems to be that people should stop expecting each and everything of prophet to do for them rather it is time they took full responsibilities for doing their own given tasks so that if the prophet dies tomorrow they do not fall into chaos and confusion as soon as he closes his eyes. The job of prophet was to deliver the message of Allah and to show you how to do things and you should get on with the job. Moreover there is no more prophet coming after him so this makes it a matter of yet more urgency that people know what they are doing before he is gone. The other idea is that a prophet from Allah is never a dictator or authoritarian figure so people who expect him to act like one is not what they should expect of him rather they should learn to be sensible and take part in community consultation to discuss and solve problems as guided by Allah. That is because deen of Islam is a code for living one’s life to live by voluntarily because none can make anyone behave properly by force. So people should learn to become a people fit for living by deen of Islam and not expect other people to force them into how they should live their lives properly. 41] So O you who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind from now on it is entirely your duty to proclaim the message of Allah to nations of the world as much as it is within your capacity to bring about the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah 42] therefore work hard day and night to establish and maintain it. Word BUKRAH is from root BAA, KAAF and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that changes with time and brings new opportunities. Also something that is not traditional or old but sets new trends, something that is progressive or keeps evolving or developing or growing with time, something young age wise or virgin or inexperienced, uncultivated, untrained, unskilled, uncivilised, morrow, beginning of the day, morning, early time, to do something early in the day, first fruit, first born, outstanding work or action or deed, having given birth only once, daybreak or day, to do something to begin one’s day, a bachelor, a man who has never had an intercourse with a woman, anything first in order of things, to tear, to rent, novelty, something unprecedented, something that is original, to change into something new in some sense for some purpose, house or something like a house in some sense, palm of hand or something like a palm of hand in some sense, head or something like head in some sense etc etc. Word ASEELAA is from root ALIF, SWAAD and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is root. Also base or foundation of something upon which it is founded or 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, lower part of something, bottom, night time, seed, something real or true or original, stick or something like a stick in some sense, tree or palnt or something like a tree or plant in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense etc etc. 43] It is He who gives you the mankind strength via community network through His missionaries so that He brings you out of ways of life based upon darkness of ignorance onto the path of life based upon light of knowledge, that is how He makes His program that leads to blissful, dignified and secure existence a reality through those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. 44] This is how they can bring about life of unity, peace, progress and prosperity for mankind the day people meet His set standard for unity, peace, progress and prosperity as a great outcome of their own such thoughts and actions. 45] O prophet, surely We have sent you as a declarer of Our revealed message to mankind openly as a giver of good news of brilliant future to those who decide to follow it faithfully and as deliverer of warning of terribly dark future to those who decide to continue living by ways of life whereby they inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other, The wording used in this verse by the Quran is very comprehensive as usual eg word SHAAHIDAA here has complementary meanings. It means the prophet is a witness to the truth that is revealed to him by God. It means the prophet is a witness as to how people respond to his delivery of the message to them. It means he is an example for mankind to witness and follow etc etc. It is not possible for a person to explain each and everything the Quran talks about in all its detail because it carries far too much information that any single person could handle on his/her own. My explanation is just for giving people a general idea as to what the Quran is all about so that they could carry out their own researches and discover things for themselves. 46] therefore invite mankind to guidance of Allah to live by His advised way of life on the basis of authority bestowed upon you by Him by spreading the light of His knowledge like a brilliant lamp that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence. 47] So give good news of brilliant future to those who decide to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to this program that for them there awaits according to Allah a life of abundant prosperity. 48] That is why you the mankind should not join those who reject and oppose the way of life advised by Allah or those who declare their commitment to it by word of mouth only but do not follow it through by their deeds so face their atrocities and aggressions head on by relying fully upon guidance of Allah faithfully, for guidance of Allah is sufficient for helping you take care of all your affairs. Here the Quran tells its supporters to understand it properly and follow it faithfully and all will be fine in due course. How one is to understand the Quran properly and how one is to follow it faithfully has been explained in detail already. The Quran has nothing at all to do with nonsense dished out by ignorant and stupid rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters who are happy to live by ways of life that make some people use others abusively yet they have audacity to make claims about human rights etc 49] So O you who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind if you enter in alliance with any new communities or parties which declare their commitment to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind then you should organise and prepare them properly right away before using them for any battles however there is no requirement for you regarding them about preparing them within a set period of time so equip them with all necessary provisions and then let them be free to freely join you in battles in a proper way. Word TALLAQTUMOO is from root TWAA, LAAM and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to free something from something in some sense for some purpose. Also to separate or cut off or boycott, divorce or distance or disconnect, to depart or leave or go away, to start a journey, to die, to pass away, to break up, to hesitate to do something, to find difficult to do something, to have problem with doing something, to let go, to set off, to bring forth shoots, to sprout, to be generous, to take off, to fly away, to move off or on, to function freely, to be free restrictions or obstacles, to break contact, to end a relationship, to free from a bond, to remove the limits or boundaries, to let something go wild, to become lawless, to have no rules, to do as one pleases, to organise into separate groups or ranks, to have one’s freedom, to free a prisoner from prison or a captive from captivity, to free a married man or woman from marriage bond, to free a slave from slavery, to save one’s life by freeing one from some danger, a free she-camel that has no string or rope to keep it under control, to deflower, to break virginity, a wild dear, a sharp tongue, a person who uses abusive language, a divorced person, something unlimited, indefinite, undefined, unidentified, something that concerns all or applies to all without any exception, to move fast, to feel free to say or do something or anything, to save, to end the marriage, to free from an obligation or contract or agreement or liability or responsibility, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, something high that is noticeable or visible from a distance, something that can help one guide oneself, a reference point, a monument, a sign or direction, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad, a stick with a sharp or pointed end, a spear or lance or an arrow, something that pushes or urges or motivates something into doing something, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, something agile or mischievous or clever, something fast moving or deceptive, something that can hang onto something, something that can move or jump about freely, mimicry, to monkey around, to swing etc etc. Word TAMASSOW is from root MEEM, SEEN and SEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is to touch. Also to reach, to overcome, to overpower, to have in control or under influence, to comprehend, to understand, to achieve, to accomplish, to search for something and find it, to have something under one’s control or within one’s reach, to discover, to uncover, to seek, to find, to explore, to put something to a particular use, to make use of something in a particular way, to look for something and find it, to sense something, to have sense of something, the influence felt at the beginning of something, the feeling at the beginning of a process, to be touched by someone’s mindset, attitude or behaviour, to be reachable or approachable, to have intercourse with a woman, to know or be able to know something in some sense, to be touched by madness or insanity or fever, to touch each other, to influence each other, to be touched by affliction or disaster, to become influenced, to be in touch, to have connection or relationship, to have contact, to be linked, to become aware of something or of reality of something in some sense, to feel, to cohabit, to live with in the same place, to live together as one couple or people or family or community, to hit, to beat, to befall, to harm, to inflict, to be mean, to be miserly or niggardly, to be extreme, to be the end, goal, terminal, objective, thirst quenching water, verdant pasture, antidote, remedy, cure, solution, to consummate a marriage, to appreciate, water or something like water in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense etc etc. Word IDDAH is from root AIN, DAAL and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to prepare something for some purpose. Also to make ready something for some reason beforehand, to put together or bring together everything needed for some purpose, to have people or weapons ready for attacking or defending against an attack, to equip, to make things ready to serve an expected or decided purpose, to be willing or get ready to do something, to manufacture or compound or compose, to put in proper state or condition to deal with a situation, to provide with equipment or ways and means for doing something, to have everything fully counted for something before going ahead and doing it, to count, to reckon, to prepare for eventualities or emergencies or disasters, to prepare or get ready for divorce or breaking a bond or freedom or disconnection or running away, a set number of days set for an already married woman before divorce so that once divorced she could marry someone else if she so desires, to take account of, to check out things, stocktaking, to prepare inventory, a reappraisal of a situation, the act of appraising a facing situation in terms of accomplishments and goals, to asses a situation or things, to checkout preparation to see if it is fit for the purpose or not, to evaluate carefully personal or equipment, gear, group, number, to number, to brand, to enumerate, an appointed time, something plenty or abundant, prosperity, numerous or plenty of people or things, a set time or time period, to get ready, to be reckoned with, to consider, to take for, to count among, to cause to increase, to compound, to demand fulfilment, the waiting period, the advance notice period, a stated period of time, a fixed term, provision, something that can be counted or is countable, something specified, specification, the specific days or periods, eye or something like an eye in some sense, water spring, spring season, sadness or unhappiness that causes tears to flow from the eyes, sore eye, to keep an eye on something, to be a guard or guardian, the new beginning, to move around, to blink, to see, to understand, eye of the mind, to help or support or assist, door or something like a door in some sense, controlled entry and exist, an obstacle in the way of something, a way through to something, a way into something, protection or shelter etc etc. In this surah the Quran is talking about people who come to attack Muslims in response to their invitation to deen of Islam and then realise their mistake and instead become Muslims themselves and join the rest of Muslim community. People attack deen of Islam only because they do not know what it is to begin with and on top of that they are misinformed about it by those who have vested personal interests. However when the truth dawns upon them they regret the attack and instead they turn to deen of Islam and join the people who promote it for ensuring well being of humanity. So it is necessary that people who submit to deen of Islam therefore join the rest of Muslim ummah they prepare themselves for ensuring the success of the mission to continue. This preparation as explained already is about education and training needed for delivering the message of deen of Islam far and wide effectively and if any people decide to attack Muslims in response then be able to defend the proper human community against any attack. Here people are told that only those people should be allowed to deliver the message or fight who are fully educated in deen of Islam as well as fully trained in fighting skills and have mind to do so after they have been tested and have been approved to be fit. 50] O prophet, We have opened up for you the way by removing the obstacles in your way for working with all your supporting parties such as those whom you have trained and equipped properly for Our mission as well as the war captives whom Allah has given in your custody. Also families of your paternal uncles and paternal aunts as well as families of your maternal uncles and maternal aunts who migrated with you, also any other community that has committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and has offered support of its people freely to you the prophet for serving Our mission should prophet decide to take them on, on their offer, so it is for you the prophet alone to choose whose help and support you should use at any given point in time rather than rest of those who are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity. We have made them aware indeed as to what We have imposed upon them regarding their fellow communities (ie to help and support each other fully) and their war captives who have turned to deen of Islam (to treat them honourably as part of the ummah) so that there is no any obstacle in the way of the prophet in deciding things, because guidance of Allah surely helps remove obstacles in the way of unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind through His program, constitution and laws for them that can lead them to blissful, dignified and secure existence.

However there is no obstacle in your way if you decide to call upon any of them for assistance again after you have set them aside for the time being. This is so, so that all the parties through their heartfelt contributions feel part of the proper human community by way of their contributions so that they do not feel left out and so that they learn through education and training in the field how to satisfy whatever duties and responsibilities you give them to fulfil. Rest assured that Allah makes obvious that which is in your thoughts about each other through your own actions for ensuring well being of each other in due course and that is how Allah makes you knowledgeable and enduring people. Word AZALTA is from root AIN, ZAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to defer. Also to put or leave aside for next time or backup or reinforcement, to withdraw, to pull out, to separate, to cut off, to boycott, to move aside, to shift or be shifted, something that turns aside, someone who takes a side, biased, prejudiced, partial, to become separated or distant, to stop or be stopped from participation or dealing with, to stop from eavesdropping or spying, to remove from a position or place, to sack, to kick out from a circle or organisation or task, to isolate or become isolated from something in some sense, to separate or become separated, to not to allow someone or something to be near or close by, to part from, an unarmed person, loner or loneliness, weak or weakness, to keep away, to segregate, to shut off, to put aside till next time, to abandon, to stand apart from, to distance oneself from, to bar, a faraway or distant place or people, eye or something like an eye in some sense, tool or weapon or instrument or something like a tool, weapon or an instrument in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense etc etc. 52] It is no longer proper for you the people to engage with other communities any other way after the provided guidelines nor should you change any of these guidelines and arrangements regarding your own supporting communities even if other guidelines and arrangements by other communities seem attractive to you with exception regarding the prisoners of wars. for that is how Allah makes obvious for mankind that He is fully aware about all things. Allah has taught goals and guidelines to people who accept the Quran as basis for dealing with each other and the rest of the people in the world. People are warned that it may seem to them that other communities have better goals and guidelines but that is not actually true. It is therefore absolutely necessary that people who claim to follow the way of life advised by the Quranic actually know it properly and that they spread it faithfully. So long as they will do that there will not be any problems for Muslims but if they will lack in actual knowledge about the proper deen of Islam then other peoples’ ways of life could become attractive for people who claim to be Muslims. A very strong slap on the faces of mullahs who have misinterpreted and misrepresented the Quran and as a result even Muslims are turning to other ways of life that are invented and promoted by nonMuslims such as atheism, agnosticism, secularism, capitalism , communism, socialism, religionism etc etc. Dealing with issue of prisoners of wars is left to Muslims to deal with as appropriate because it depends upon how nonMuslims deal with this issue who wage wars against Muslims. However they should be treated with dignity and should be released freely if there is no threat from them in due course. This is only if these prisoners do not accept way of life advised by Allah for some reason but if they do then they are same as other individuals in the ummah with all duties and responsibilities as well as rights. One has to remember that this surah is all about setting-up, organising and regulating a proper human community by bringing all people from everywhere together to form an ummah. The main thing is spreading of message of deen of Islam and retaliation by its rejecters and opponents and responses of Muslims which could include wars between people and taking of war prisoners. 53] O you who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind never enter the community institutions set-up by the community according to Our guidance to the prophet for fulfilling the needs of the proper human community until you meet the set standard for you to enter them to participate in there purposefully and properly rather than for wasting time, however when you are invited by the community after you qualify for it then enter but once you have completed your participation then leave and do not offer long justifications for staying on. That way you will damage the mission of the prophet whereby he desires to ensure your well being and Allah cannot be prevented from stating the facts. Moreover when you the people of the proper human community have to demand anything of your need from the managements of the community institutions seek them through properly laid down clear procedures and practices. That sort of transparent and clear participation is necessary for satisfaction of minds of community members as well as for satisfaction of minds of people working in the community institutions. It is never right for you the people of the proper human community to inflict damage upon the mission of the messenger of Allah therefore you should never tamper or interfere with his set-up or arrangement regarding matters related to his communities after he has finalised things with your consultation because that will prove seriously damaging for you as a proper human community according to guidance of Allah. Word TAAM is from root TWAA, AIN and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to eat. Also to partake, to participate, to take part, to interact, to deal with, to consume, to devour, to feed on, to think, food for thought, something to think about, to think about something, to consider, to try and understand something, to absorb something, to take in something, to have understanding of something, to use something for food, to feed someone, to make someone take something in eg food or thought, to make someone understand about something, to taste, nourishment, to find something agreeable or palatable, to have had enough of food or a bad situation, to become fed up, to drink or to take in a drink, to keep or sustain, to provide for, hospitality, livelihood, dates, wheat, anything consumable or useful, something that helps mind and body to be healthy, to have ability to do something, to have control over something or someone, to have power over someone or something, to have capacity or capability for something in some sense, to have stomachful or belly full of food, to have had enough of something, to not to put up with something any more, to fulfil need or want of someone, to satisfy hunger, to make one free of needing anything more, sea food, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. Word NAAZIREEN is from root NOON, ZWAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to see. Also to examine, to scrutinise, to wait or wait for or await, to behold, to be a spectator or onlooker, to evaluate, to ascertain, to find out, to discover, to give respite, to let someone have some time to think or do something, to be reprieved or saved, to let go, to look or look at or on, to look out for, to debate, to argue, to dispute, to fight, to contemplate or consider, to glimpse, to postpone, to compare, to be equal, to watch or watch impassively, to delay, to expect or expectation, eyesight, a sight, a single glance, to lay in wait, to see with eye, to see with eye of the brain, to try to understand or comprehend something in some way for some purpose, to try to make sense of something, to pay attention to, to turn toward, to be in front of each other, to discuss, to be like, to be an example of or for something, to be faulty or defective or ugly, to feel the pain of others, to empathise, to feel sorry for someone for some reason, to help or support or assist someone in some way, to look at someone pleasantly, to like someone, to look at someone favourably, to look at someone with pleasure, to have mercy on someone, to show kindness to someone, a pleasant sight, fish or something like fish in some sense, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, command and control centre, head or chief, top most part or section of something, ruling elite, leadership, to plan or scheme or plot etc etc. Word INAAH is from roots ALIF, NOON and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is due time and place for something to happen in some sense. Also the right time and place for something when something is supposed to happen or take place, something that happens at its due time in its due place, something that becomes due, to become ready, proper time, to be deliberate, to be solemn, to wait, to wait in expectation of something, to anticipate something in some sense for some reason, to be very hot, utensils, tools needed for making something happen, essentials or necessities for something to make it happen, divisions of the night, day time, to reach the appointed time, having reached maximum point or degree, to reach the end or destination, something boiling hot, hours, watches, due coming, to become complete, to become solid or fully established, to become fully educated or trained, to complete something for some reason, a period of time, a division of time, stick or something like a stick in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. Here the Quran makes it absolutely clear that people must decide things together freely but once they finalise something together regarding the ummah they lose the right to go against it as individuals because that way things can get out of hands and ummah could fall apart and break down into factions. The Quran emphasises proper organisation and regulation of people as a proper human community. However organisation and regulation needs educational, societal, political and economic etc etc systems, institutions, structures, mechanisms, procedures and practices and for this reason a constitution and laws to go with it. So people who wish to go down that lane must be willing to do very hard work otherwise things needing doing cannot be done. Unless a people have an ideology with worthy goals and guidelines people cannot come together to form a society and if people come together then they need social, political, cultural and economic etc systems, structures, procedures and practices to make the whole thing work successfully as explained already in detail. All this is beyond mullaism because such things need highly educated and trained people to get the ball rolling. 54] It matters not whether you people reveal your motives to each other or conceal them from each other the set-up systems and laws of Allah are surely able to make everything about your motives obvious to those concerned in due course through your own actions. As explained already all motivational thoughts eventually take over minds of people and make them do thing to get whatever they are after and that is how thoughts in minds of people about each other regardless good or bad become a reality for them to see. This is why people cannot hide truth because it is bound to come out one day though their own doings. People who claim they work for success of mission of Allah their thoughts and action prove them consistent or inconsistent with their claims proving them truthful or liars. 55] However there is no restriction in the way of communities that are truly committed to making the mission of Allah a success as things are arranged by His messenger regarding their choice for selecting people for community management be they their fathers or their sons or their brothers or sons of their brothers or sons of their sisters or their women or freed war captives so long as they are consistent with guidance of Allah and with each other, however be on your guard because set-up systems and laws of Allah are ever present and effective to make people face the consequences of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. The Quran does not bar people from working for deen of Islam even if they happen to be closely related or totally unrelated like war captives because the foundation is consistency with guidance of Allah and the proper human community. So long as the end result is as required by Allah and people being served all is fine. If community thinks a particular family as a whole or an individual can serve them the best why not? People who have no proper ideology with worthy goals and guidelines even if they are related or unrelated they are still going to fail to deliver what they promise because the ideology is not there to ensure the end product. Moreover any ideology other than deen of Islam can only and only be based upon personal gains at the expense of each other therefore such an ideology cannot deliver the goods to satisfy all because that is not its objective and it cannot have such an objective because otherwise personal gains at the expense each other means nothing at all. It is one or the other, so such an ideology sooner or later is bound to fail humanity as gainer become less and less in numbers and losers become more and more in numbers. This is why the Quran cannot be beaten and nor can be those who truly understand it properly and follow it faithfully. Here the Quran is telling people the proper constitution and laws are supreme and should be accepted as such by mankind and adopted faithfully if they wish to have a blissful, dignified and secure existence. This is why all institutions, their individual workers and all members of the rest of proper human community must abide by constitution and laws faithfully so that everything turns out the best possible for all in the community. As explained already in detail it is community that puts in place all administrations in its institutions from the very top to the very bottom. Each institutional administration is responsible for finding right people for recruitments in their institution as trainees so that when they are fully trained they are ready to take over from the retiring workers so that all things keep running smoothly. 56] Certainly Allah and His missionaries for establishing and maintaining His kingdom lend their full support to the prophet. So O you who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, give your full help and support to him by fully submitting to his assigned mission faithfully as you are supposed to. There are many myths about the verses of the Quran in the name of reasons for revelations or SHAANE NUZOOL concept just like concept of some verses of the Quran abrogating others ie ANNAASIKH WALMANSOOKH belief which has been explained in detail already. 57] Surely those who instead of supporting try to derail the mission of Allah assigned to His messenger, Allah lets them lead themselves away from the way of life that could lead them to blissful, dignified and secure existence in this life as well as the life to come, that is how by sticking to way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other they are preparing for themselves a terribly painful existence in due course. People who instead of helping and supporting the mission of Allah reject and oppose it, Allah condemns them as per his forewarning to life of misery because such people are bound to fall into life of terribly painful existence in due course by hand of each other as explained in detail already. One has to keep in mind that this surah is about various groups of people including those whom the Quran calls hypocrites or MUNAAFIQEEN. They claim to be committed to mission of Allah but do nothing for its success and not only that but they also conspire against it. Deen of Islam is attacked both from outside as well as from within by those who reject and oppose it for their own reasons. So ummah has to deal with all its enemies the best it can by learning and teaching deen of Islam properly. The better aware the members of the ummah are about deen of Islam the less they are likely to change sides when going gets tough because instead of being feeling defeated and powerless they can get the needed courage and stand up to face anything that comes their way. Proper understanding of deen of Islam gives one power of mind and mind can make one work wonders if satisfied because one has the needed self confidence. No wonder Allah claims to bring dead people to life again through his revelations. 58] Moreover those who conspire to cause troubles among management personnel and among communities that have truly committed themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind by spreading false information about them for creating suspicions and animosities through disinformation among them who in actual fact do them no harm will bear the consequences for their such rumours and slanders, for it is surely a grave crime against humanity to place obstacles in its way to blissful, dignified and secure existence. In deen of Islam there are laws and for those who break them there are sanctions or penalties as well as serious punishments as well. All this is necessary to keep people in line with the goals and guidelines of Allah and the proper human community. If consequences were not made clear then anyone could do anything without giving things a second thought. People have no reason to accept deen of Islam if they do not like it but if they like it then they have no reason to break its code of conduct deliberately when all their needs are met as per guidance of the Quran according to requirement of the community itself because no constitution or law is valid till ummah as a whole agrees upon it after free consultation as already explained in detail. So anyone who breaks the code of conduct despite all this then either has to be mentally ill or break it by mistake or deliberately. Mistakes must also be punished appropriately to ensure people do not become negligent and careless in their duties and responsibilities because that could needlessly cost lives. 59] O you the prophet, tell the chiefs of your main administrations and the chiefs of your subordinate administrations and the communities within their jurisdictions who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind that they should take overall visible appropriate measures to protect themselves against thoughts and actions of such elements. That is more suitable for the situation under the circumstances so that they are recognized by them as well guarded communities that are not troubled by such disinformation campaigns by them, that is how Allah protects proper human community through His program, constitution and law that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence. 60] If the hypocrites in whose minds are harmful and destructive ambition and desires such as those who want to stir up sedition desist not then We will let you rise up against them and their days in this kingdom based upon guidance of Allah as your neighbours will be numbered. 61] They will then be left to suffer the terrible consequences of their own thoughts and actions wherever they are found and they will be stopped from carrying out their designs through such activities need be by fighting to deal with them as they should be dealt with. 62] This has been the way of Allah for dealing with such people always since the people who lived before you so you will not find any change in the way of Allah in dealing with such people ever. Allah always told people who accepted his advised way of life to live by how to deal with hypocrites. So ummah must do the same with people who claim to be Muslims yet do nothing for the mission of Allah and if anything create troubles for the ummah. 63] People who reject and oppose Our mission ask you Our messenger about the time when this is supposed to happen. Tell them, it is up to set-up systems and laws of Allah to make that forewarning a reality, but what can reveal to you the messenger the time of this happening? If these people increase their activities against Our guidance instead of stopping after the warning then the time for Our forewarning to become a reality could draw near. Here the Quran explains how forewarnings of Allah work ie Allah tells people do not do this or that because if you will then you will get into trouble in due course because of that. If people stop and reform fine but if they do even more of that from which they are stopped then that time becomes a reality for them about which Allah already told them otherwise all is fine. 64] Surely Allah lets such people as oppose His mission lead themselves away from the way of life that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence by leaving them to way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby they prepare for themselves the raging fire of hatred among themselves 65] to live therein forever unless they repent and reform according to Our guidance because if they do not then they can never find any protection or help against fire of hatred amongst themselves. 66] The day when their own invented goals and guidelines will land them in fire of hatred against each other they will say, bad news for us, we wish we had been consistent with guidance of Allah and we had supported His mission assigned for us through His messenger. 67] Moreover they will admit before each other calling Allah to be their witness saying, our Creator and Sustainer, we supported our chiefs and our priests and they misled us from the way that was proper for leading mankind to unity, peace, progress and prosperity. 68] Our Creator and Sustainer, let them suffer repeatedly the painful suffering thereby let descend upon them a great sorrow over a long period of time. 69] O you who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind yet oppose it by your deeds, be not like those who tried to repeatedly derail the mission that was assigned to Moses though Allah saved his mission from all that they did against it, for he was such a wise and courageous messenger who fulfilled His assigned mission faithfully according to guidance of Allah. 70] O you who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, be consistent with program, constitution and law of Allah and manifest only that mindset, attitude and behaviour which ensures well being of a proper human community. 71] So that thereby He corrects your mutual conduct towards each other and protects you against falling victim to hatred against each other and removes all ills from among you and turns you into a proper human community, for he who is consistent with guidance of Allah along with His messenger and his supporters has indeed achieved a great achievement. 72] That is why We offered Our program, constitution and law for united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous existence of humanity to the people in highly advantaged positions as well as to those in the least advantaged positions but people with influence over masses failed to fulfil their responsibility faithfully and went off the track save the insightful of the mankind. Surely the person who refuses to understand properly Our program, constitution and law to follow it faithfully is the one who transgresses Our set limits for ensuring well being of humanity due to seeking dominance over others by undermining them because of his ignorance and stupidity Word YAHMIL is from root HAA, MEEM and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is burden. Also load, to bear, to put up with, to refuse to give up, to sustain, to support, to carry or carry off, to shoulder responsibility, to become angry, to refuse to take on responsibility, to depart, to deviate, to move away, to break, to breach, to fracture, to violate, to transgress, to stray, to go off the track, to upset, to dispute, rift, gap, discrepancy, conflict, to contravene, to tear, to rupture, to puncture, to make pregnant, pregnancy, to have or carry a baby in the womb, to fail to carry out a duty or responsibility, miscarriage, abortion, to terminate pregnancy, to refuse to become pregnant, to conceive, to fruit, to attack, to charge, to drive away, to contain, a camel’s litter, to forebear, a lamb, to be foolish or stupid or dumb, to lack in intelligence, a donkey or camel, to resist, to impede, to incur, to commit, to assume responsibility, to undertake, to provide a mount for, to load upon, to lay upon, to burden, to store, to be borne, to be lifted up, to be raised high, to be alleviated, to be lifted off, to be charge with responsibility, to bear along, child during pregnancy, period of pregnancy, professional carrier, to backbite, to slander, to conspire to cause rift, to spread false information, to move or shift someone from one’s place or position, to lift one from one’s place, to gather stuff for opposition, to destroy or annihilate, to breach the trust, to gather livelihood, to hoard things, to urge or push for doing something, to pressurise someone, to force someone for doing something, to rebuke, to force someone to run away or flee, fence or something like a fence in some sense, water or something like water some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad etc etc. Words SAMAWAAT and ARD beside heavens and earth also mean high profile and low profile people. That is because the root of word SAMAWAAT and ISM is exactly the same ie SEEN, MEEM and WOW. ISM means name etc and samaa means loftiness etc. Allah programmed the natural world and all things in there work as they are supposed to but not so the human beings. It is because they have been created ignorant with guidance and freedom to decide things for themselves but they do not bother to learn. The result is the terrible state of their world in which they live. That is because the world is what people make it for themselves. As explained already verses in the Quran have complementary parallel meanings so does this verse. It is also telling us that Allah set for all his creation a program to execute or work according to so all things including heavens and the earth work according to provided instructions of Allah faithfully but not the human beings rather they use their own freedom of choice and do silly things ignoring the guidance of Allah. Surely We entrusted with Our program the heavens and the earth as well as other huge number of things and they failed not in carrying it out by deviating from it however the human kind did breach it because human kind is created ignorant but capable of learning and following Our guidance as well as to act against it. When words HAMAL and AMAANAH come together they also mean breach of trust. Word ABAIN means to refuse or to fail to do something. What the heavens and the earth fail to do is beach the trust of Allah. These words do not mean Allah told heaven and earth to do something and they refused to do it as mullahs will have us believe due to their ignorance and stupidity. Nonliving things have not been created with ability of choice like human beings. 73] due to which Allah leaves on their own those chiefs who harbour harmful and destructive ambitions and desires and those communities which harbour harmful and destructive ambitions and desires and those chiefs who take for ruler other than Allah and those communities which take for ruler other than Allah to suffer the painful consequences of their own such thoughts and actions against each other, but Allah turns by means of His revelation to guide those chief administrators and those communities who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, because Allah protects mankind from harming and destroying each other through His guidance that can lead them to blissful, dignified and secure existence. |

Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 34 SABA–A people who bring about a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah through hard work but then they let it disintegrate through failing to maintain it properly due to their gradual ignoring of guidance of Allah
This Surah is named SABA from roots SEEN, BAA and ALIF as well as SEEN, BAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is solemn pledge. Also to agree, to promise, to drink, to absorb, to take in, to receive and absorb into the mind, to drink from fountain of knowledge, to drink water from a well, to permeate, to saturate, to assimilate, to consume, to take in food or information, to shed blood, to go to war or cause a war, to loot or plunder, to observe, to have or not to have enough to eat, to fill something with something, to be brave or a warrior, to swear, to curse, to abuse, to be sated, to be satisfied, to have enough food to satisfy hunger, to take an oath, to quench or soak or satisfy sword with blood, to make a statement under oath, to pledge, to campaign, to go on an expedition, to imbibe, to take captive, to go on an adventure, to intervene, to interfere, to undertake, to drink alcoholic beverage, to take prisoner, man, man of battles, sons, goodness of house or kingdom of God, fighter, splinter, flame, seven, seventy, a set of seven or many or numerous things, seventh, numerous, many, plenty, prosperity, abundance, honey, tossing, poverty, shame, scarcity, famine, satiety, satisfaction, comfort, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense, stick or something like a stick in some sense etc etc. This surah is not named SABA because of use of word SABA in it but for its subject matter. It is like story of kingdom of God that was brought about by the final messenger along with help of his companions but after he passed away the kingdom became victim of negligence by later generations so it disintegrated. It was neither the first kingdom brought about in the name of Allah based upon his guidance nor the last because same has been happening over and over again and again. It shows how important education is for generations to come so that they do not let perish legacy of their ancestors provided it was worth having it to begin with. Ummah has to learn a lot but it is neglecting its divine responsibility and the result is very painful to get into detail of it. The surah begins with emphasis on divine sovereignty and then on following divine revelation and then basis for truth of this revelation. It tells people to verify things for themselves and then turn the revealed program into a reality for ensuring well being of mankind. The stories of David and Solomon as well as others are told about to show how they brought about and maintained kingdom based upon guidance of Allah and then how it came to an end due to later generation not being prepared to keep it going. It is made clear that it is entirely up to people themselves to live by rule of law of Allah or by rule of law of each other but the consequences for doing so cannot be escaped either way. The surah ends with discussion on the Quran and people at the time of revelation of the Quran as to how they responded to call of the final messenger from Allah. The Quran again tells us that it is all about proper management of human population and provided resources so that humanity keeps on developing and progressing step by step till mankind have learned enough to leave the earth for other places in the universe as explained elsewhere. The Quran takes proper observation of things very seriously because upon proper understanding of universal realities depends everything else including understanding of the revelation from Allah and dignified survival of humanity therefore the idea that Islam is none political or has nothing to do with economic policy or science or philosophy is totally absurd and against the fundamental message of the Quran. The surah is self explanatory if people have some idea of things the Quran is talking about. It will be a good idea to study Quranic tafaseer or interpretations and translations by mullahs as well to see how far they have taken ummah from actual teachings of the Quran and why. As in other surahs this surah also tells us to keep our eyes at the outcome of our efforts and struggles and we will soon find out which way we are heading ie into life full of blessings or life full of miseries. That should let us know whether we have understood the message of the Quran properly and are following the Quran faithfully or not. This surah also explains about day of final judgement and the reason for having such a day so that people who live on the basis of personal gains at the expense of each other are made to face the consequences for their thoughts and actions in hereafter. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] Sovereignty belongs to Allah alone to Whom belongs all that is in all the galaxies in the universe including all that which is in this galaxy therefore it is up to Him alone to lead mankind through their own hard work to glorious future by means of His advised way of life because He the sole wise ruler of this kingdom of the universe is fully aware of all things mankind need to know. Word KHABEER is from root KHAA, BAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is an event. Also a piece of news, a news report about something or someone, to be or become aware of something, to know something about something, to experience, to undergo or suffer something directly, to have sense or understanding about something, to tell something about something to someone, to inform, to make aware, to recognise, a presentation of information about an event, new information about something, a news worthy item or event, information about something that is or has taken place, information about some new discovery of some sort, awareness, alertness, to be conscious, to be expert, to be informed, to seek information, to test, to sense, intrinsic, the inner self, knowledge of the internal secret state, understanding, comprehension, tidings, report, record of affairs, one who knows something well, to limit or restrict something in some sense, to obstruct or block or put a stop to something, to shield or cover or protect or secure something, to control or have something within reach, fence or something like a fence in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense, head or something like a head in soem sense etc etc. It is very important to realise that Allah is a glorious being himself and he wants to give glory to mankind as well because that is what he created them for. The only way Allah decided to honour mankind is through their own effort with help of his provided guidance as explained in detail already. 2] That is why He made mankind capable of becoming aware of all that goes on inside the earth and all that goes-on on the outside of it as well as all that comes down from the space above and all that rises up into it and that is how His guidance for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind can protect mankind from all sorts of harms and destructions. Word YOOLIJ is from root WOW, LAAM and JEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is entrance. Also door or gate or doorway, a way through to something, ways and means, to enter into something gradually or slowly, to get into something in some way, to make or cause something to enter into something in some way, to penetrate, lowland, land depression, valley or cave or gulf or gap, distance or difference between two points in some sense, inconsistency, conflict, discrepancy, to work with in a partnership, associate/s, close friend/s, partner/s, team or crew or group or a set of things that work together as a unit, an organised body of things or people, an opening, a member or an element of a group or party, a building block, confidant/s, something that works closely with something, to enter in a narrow place, to enter with difficulty, a sincere friend, a reliable or trustable friend or something, a part of a certain kind of circle, something or someone included in something in some sense, to make something happen or do something in some way, hook or something like a hook in some sense, something bent or twisted or turned, something upon which something could be hanged in some way, something upon which something could rely, something that can support something in some way, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, a stick with a pointed or sharp end, a spear or an arrow, camel or something like a camel in some sense, something beautiful, durable, something lasting that can provide foundation for something etc etc. 3] Those who reject and oppose way of life advised by Allah say, the foretold terrible outcome of our thoughts and actions against each other will never befall us. Tell them, no, that is not the case rather it will happen according to my Creator and Sustainer the One Who makes known to mankind what the future has in store for them as result of their own thoughts and actions. Nothing even as small as an atom in the heavens or in the earth is hidden from Him, nor is there anything smaller or greater than that but its origin, working and purpose is controlled by His self evident set-up systems and laws, 4] so that those who are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and therefore do works that help humanity unite, develop, progress and prosper get results of their such thoughts and actions for ensuring well being of each other. It is they for whom there is a blissful life with security of provision that is dignified. Word YAZUB is from root AIN, ZAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to become inconsistent. Also to break away, to distance, to disconnect, to go out of sight, to have no connection, to become absent, to go into hiding, to become covered up, to disappear, to move away, to be ignorant or unaware about something, to have no idea about something, to move far away from inhabited area, to become distant from where an action is taking place, to live apart from everyone, to be or become lonely, to boycott, to isolate, to be without a spouse, to be a bachelor or spinster, to escape, to slip off, to become disconnected from the rest of the group or party, eye or something like an eye in some sense, to guard, to spy, to keep an eye on something or someone, water spring, new beginning, spring season, to help or support or assist, tool or weapon or something like a tool or weapon in some sense, to be instrumental, house or something like a house in some sense, refuge, shelter, shield, protection, family, household, structure, constitution, tradition, rule of law, custom etc etc. Word ASGHAR is from root SWAAD, GHAIN and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to be small. Also to have less value or worth, to have little respect or dignity, to be humble, to be humiliated or disgraced, to make something small, to humiliate or disgrace, to reduce in size or quantity or quality, to be a slave or bondman, to have low position or rank, to bend, to bow down, to submit, to force to submit, to be submissive, to transgress, youth or being youthful, little, slight, to shrink, to be small in eyes of others, to be base, to be contemptible, to be disdainful, to be less or less than, abasement, the very essence of something, the juice or extract of something, plant or tree or something like a plant or tree in some sense, something fixed in place in some sense yet flexible in some other sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. 5] As for those who strive hard to stop Our advised way of life from becoming a reality such people are bound to become entrapped in due course in terribly painful humiliating suffering by hands of each other. 6] However those who have been bestowed with ability of making proper sense of things and they use it faithfully they can clearly see that, that which is revealed to you by your Creator and Sustainer is true because it guides to the way of life advised by the mighty ruler of this universe because it can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence which can thereby manifests His glory to them. 7] Despite this verifiable fact those who reject and oppose the way of life advised by Allah their leaders say to people under their sway, should we point out to you a man who claims that when you have socially disintegrated as a community and your dignity crumbles into dust you can be raised to blissful, dignified and secure life again as a proper human community through this revealed guidance? Word MUMAZZAQ is from root MEEM, ZAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to tear apart. Also to rip into pieces, to pierce through something, to make a hole in or into something, to break into something, to rent asunder, to separate something into pieces or parts, to become ripped apart into factions, to divide into parties, to decompose, to disintegrate, to tear up, to shred into pieces, to be tattered, top scatter, to disperse, to spread or scatter around, to fragment, to break something into pieces in some sense, to fight, to jump about like a monkey, to be in dispute with each other, to be in conflict with each other, water or something like water in some sense, tool or weapon or something like tool or weapon in some sense, to be instrumental in something in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, mischievous, agile, unreliable, infirm or flexible, to be tricky or deceptive etc etc. 8] Has he forged a lie against Allah or is he mad? No, that is not the case rather those who do not want to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind for their brilliant future due to adopting a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other will end up in humiliating painful suffering by hands of each other because they have strayed far off the proper way of life. 9] Why don’t they observe and learn what is within their capability and reach and what is beyond their capability and reach within the heaven and the earth? Had We planned We could have kept them earth bound or We could have made the universe inaccessible for them. Surely there is a lesson to learn in all of this for every person who is a keen observer and thoughtful. 10] That is why We bestowed knowledge from Us upon David and said, O leading people of communities, support him for accomplishing Our set goal or mission. This is how We made easy for him to use the available manpower properly 11] by saying, be abundantly productive through taking coordinating measures by doing works that help mankind unite, develop and progress, I help you, the mankind, through My guidance to see all that you ought to be doing. 12] Likewise we inspired Solomon to take development and progress of his people to yet higher level and that is how Our revelations motivated mankind to develop, progress and prosper to a higher level from where they were. In a similar way We raised his people to higher level of development and progress from where they were step by step by bringing forth for him a work force that was expert in various fields to work according to their full capacity according to guidance of his Creator and Sustainer. Solomon established Our rule of law in the land but if any party conspired against Our rule of law, We left it on its own to fall into painful suffering as a result of its own thoughts and actions against each other. 13] His people worked hard with him according to his worked out plan of action, making things needed for defence such as forts and weapons, things needed for food productions and distribution, dams like large reservoirs for storage of water and grain as well as shipping ports. All because We said, O people of David, use manpower and resources provided properly, however only a minority of people who live by Our guidance use Our provisions properly in practice. Word MAHAAREEB is from root HAA, RAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to take something away from someone by use of force. Also to loot or plunder, to rob, to attack, to declare war on, to fight, to fight a war, to battle, to combat, to ruin or destroy, to rake havoc, to raise to ground, to suffer or inflict hardship or trouble, to be tough or to show toughness, to transgress, the battle field or war zone, the training camp for war or practice of war, war weapons or forts, to defend against an attack or aggression, watchtower to keep an eye on enemy activities, the place of offerings, the place wherein war plans are made or discussed or strategies or tactics are worked out, a place in a masjid where in an imam stands to lead ummah for reaffirmation of declaration of covenant with Allah, a place wherein lectures are delivered for encouraging or educating Muslims how to live in this world properly or to extort them for war, to wage war, to become angry, to make an arch, to be an archer, to make an arch or bow for throwing arrows, a place where weapons of war are made, lion’s den, palace, temple, prayer niche, place of honour, studs in a coat of armour, armed personnel quarters, private quarters, sanctuary, fence or something like a fence in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense etc etc. Word TAMAASEEL is from root MEEM, SAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to liken something to something else in some sense for purpose of explanation of something in totality or in part. Also to be same as something else, to be alike, to stand in for something, to be an example of or for something, an explanation of something by using something else in its place be it exact alike or identical or not, to strike an example, similitude, to compare one thing with another for some purpose, to be like something in form or expression or manner or attitude or behaviour or attribute or quality or quantity or size or position or status or rank, something worth to be taken as an example in some sense, to look up to as a precedent, to stand straight or tall, to be an image or copy of something, a statue of something, a photograph or picture of something, specification or standard for something in some sense, watchtower, to be a look alike, painting or portrait, to destroy something, to ruin a body by cutting off things from it or by trampling over it, a collection of things, something that spreads or scatters around, something that disperses or is thrown around for some reason, shooting of arrows or throwing of stones with slings, to splash or throw paint over something, to paint or draw a picture, account historical events to learn lessons from, to stick with the floor, to crawl on the ground for some reason, to train for warfare, to train for making weapons of war, to increase, to grow, to prosper, to follow a way that is proper or right for the intended destination, to grow in knowledge, to overcome, to overwhelm, to do something the right or proper way, idols, celebrities, famous people, personality cults, influential or dominant people, a well proportioned things that looks most beautiful, a lofty figure, an over powering figure, a beautiful or an exemplary structure of some sort, similarity, resemblance, to imitate, to liken, to emulate, to appear, to materialise, to submit, evidence, proof, statement, amount, a saying, a parable, measure, to recover, to become good, the best, to mutilate, to maim, to punish, retribution, to appear as, to take the appearance of, to assume the likeness of, the form or shape of something, the ideal, the same or same as, similar to, pattern, equal or equivalent, as much as, physique, constitution, likewise, repetition, something occurring or happening again and again, characteristics, case in point, model, an example fit to be emulated, warning, lesson, effigies, an exemplary punishment as a lesson to others from doing the same thing, water or something like water in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, coffin, chest, basket, skeleton, structure, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, a stick with a pointed or sharp end, a spear or lance or an arrow etc etc. Word JIFAAN is from root JEEM, FAA and NOON.

Also eyelid, sheath of sword, envelop or cover of something, wrapper, stomach or belly, inside of a body, a large bowl, a very large or huge pot for cooking food in for many people, a reservoir or a large basin for storage of food or grain, a small well or trough, something that contains something, something that can encompass something or surround something completely in some sense, a fortified wall around a city, scabbard, large pot, to feed, something with mouth or a gap or a hole, to cater for, to disdain, to shun, an animal with large stomach or belly or body, something durable or beautiful for some purpose, to backbite, to slander, to spread false rumours about someone or something, something that is fast moving or very active, camel or something like a camel in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense etc etc. Word RAASIYAAT is from root RAA, SEEN and WOW. See 21/31 According to mullahs making pictures of living things are forbidden in Islam. One has to ask them why then prophet Solomon employed people who used to make pictures and statues for him according to tafaseer of the Quran which were also written by mullahs? A clear proof of lack of knowledge in mullahs. They also hold that it is fine to draw pictures of plants and trees etc. Do they not know that they too are living things? It is very important for people to realise that human mind is not capable of learning thing unless it has help of visuals. After all try and explain to anyone anything without one already having some sort of image of something in one’s mind. Could children learn their alphabet without having their pictures? To write down characters of alphabet set is drawing pictures or have mullahs learned reading and writing without the help of pictures of character of alphabet set? Likewise it is not possible to classify plants and trees without having their pictures or life size models. The same is true about classification of insects and animals. Human biology needs a lot of pictures, sketches, drawing and models etc to help learning about things. How could Allah forbid tools or ways and means that are a necessity for learning for mankind when he keeps telling people repeatedly to learn sense to try and understand things? So learning to draw pictures is not forbidden in deen of Islam based upon the Quran but mullahs do not know deen of Islam because they work for rulers and money lenders who do not want people to become educated and trained in things because then they will question them for their doings. This is why mullahs invented many reports in the name of the prophet to derail people from deen of Islam. A clear reason for people to not to follow their mullahs blindly like sheep or they will lead them to their slaughterhouse. 14] Nonetheless at length came to pass what We forewarned him about concerning his kingdom, that is disintegration of the kingdom he brought about and nothing big caused this destruction but constant small conspiracies against the kingdom by a small band of people which ate away support for the kingdom at the grass root level. The experts and commanders who worked for him did not become aware of it till the disintegration of the kingdom was upon them. That is how came to realise the experts that had they kept an eye out for things that go wrong in a kingdom, they could not have ended up in such a humiliating situation and painful circumstances that they have. Word MINSAATAH is from root NOON, SEEN and Alif. See surah 4. Word KHARRA is from root KHAA, RAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is sound falling down of something with a thumping noise. Also sound of blowing wind, falling water or stones, rumbling, snoring, purring, to enjoy affluence or prosperity or luxury or abundance, to surprise, to fall, to crumble, to collapse, to die or become unconscious, to lose awareness, to lose attention, to fall apart, to disintegrate or decompose, to become destroyed or ruined, thudding sound due to fall of something heavy on the ground, fence or something like a fence in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. This surah tells us very clearly that bringing about a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah is not possible by any individual on his own be one a messenger of Allah nor it is possible for him to maintain it without help and support of others. This is why each and every person has to be knowledgeable and hard working in such a society or any people who stand to oppose the idea will bring it down in no time or not even let it become a reality in the first place. In other words divine kingdom is very demanding on its subjects so people who are lazy or crazy cannot bring about such a kingdom nor maintain it if it was already there so it will collapse. It matters not if a prophet is there or not there among his people. Not all prophets were successful in convincing all their people in their places that is why some had to move out of their communities to form new communities elsewhere. 15] For the people of Sabaa there was indeed a lesson to observe and learn from in the kingdom they lived in, there was abundant prosperity due to highly useful growths throughout their kingdom from one end to the other. It was said to them, use all that your Creator and Sustainer has provided you with properly as you are told by Him so that guidance of your Creator and Sustainer becomes an established reality in form of a blissful, dignified and secure kingdom for ensuring well being of all people in it as required of you by your Creator and Sustainer. 16] However they avoided doing things that way so We left their multitudes on their own who rose up against each other in due course due to abundance of problems so their prosperity turned into scarcity and that is how their thoughts and actions against each other produced bitter fruits here and there due to their adopting of way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. Word SAIL is from root SEEN, YAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is torrent. Also to flow, flooding, inundation, to melt, abundance, plentiful, something overflowing with something, tumult, agitation, uprising, moving of masses or multitudes, to run with or like water, to cause to flow, to melt down, bursting of the dyke or dam, valleys flowing or over flowing with water, force of over flowing water, collapsing of something solid, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense etc etc. Word ARIM is from root AIN, RAA and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is multitude of people. Also toughness or hardness or strength or firmness or solidness, abundance of things, prosperity, a large number of people or masses, hardship, severe distress, a big trouble, heavy rain that cause havoc, something moving fast, agitation by masses or uprising of masses, mass movement, to hurt, to inflict with harm or damage, mound of grain, great inundation, dam built across a valley, violence, evil, wickedness, tree bark, to strip meat off bones, a mole-rat, the male of a certain type of rat, dam, great flood, name of a valley where the dam was, Dam of Maarib, eye or something like an eye in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. Word KHAMT is from root KHAA, MEEM and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something bitter in some sense. Also roasted meat, something sour in taste, bitter taste or experience of something, something that leaves bitter taste in mouth after eating, sour grapes, anything poisonous or thorny, a thorny tree or fruit, Salvadoran persicaria plants, smartweed plants, fruits of smartweeds, a type of lotus tree or its fruit, inedible fruit, fragrance of the blossom of fruit bearing trees, to ferment, to be haughty, to take by force, the turning of to life to bitter experiences from pleasant living experience, a time when prosperity turns into scarcity, to become totally striped or naked, to become bare bones, life of poverty or hardship, a life full of troubles or difficulties or problems, to become empty, to have nothing in ownership or control, to become restricted or limited in ways or means, fence or something like a fence in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense etc etc. Word ASL is from root ALIF, SAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is firmly based or deeply rooted. Also a riverine plant from twigs of which baskets etc are made, something that works in river environment, people who earn their living by working on the river, seamen or sea workers, people whose livelihood depends upon sea life, plants or trees that grow in or around river environment, to gather around or upon something solid, rocky piece of land, a piece of land where nothing grows because of absence of soil, unproductive people or environment, barren land, uncultivated land or uncivilised or untrained people, people who lack necessary skills for survival, something brittle, a people firmly settled in their ways or habits, stick or something like a stick in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense etc etc. Word SIDR is from root SEEN, DAAL and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is lote tree. Also to flow continuously without interruption, something that obstructs or prevents something from continuing, a thorny tree, a berry, something that causes stress or pain in some way, something that pricks in some sense, something that picks or pricks conscious, an ultimate stop or end of a journey, destiny, goal, something firmly rooted, a way through, a control centre, a centre of power, to bite, to think, to knock, to alert, to consider, a controlled entry and exist point, constitution, custom or tradition, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. 17] That is how Our set-up systems and laws made them face the results of their own thoughts and actions against each other due to their rejection and opposition to Our guidance. Our set-up systems and laws never deliver any people such consequences except those who reject and oppose Our guidance. Here mankind are told clearly that there are two sets of laws for people to learn and understand about. The laws of nature as well as the laws for people to base their human society upon. Any people who will ignore either of them will always end up in serious troubles with nature or each other or both. This ummah has to think what has gone wrong in it that it has been suffering humiliation after humiliation for centuries? If it still does not think and do something about it many more centuries will pass the same way or even worse. Here the Quran tells its followers to live by revealed guidance of Allah but in light of real world realities, not by imaginary world of make beliefs and useless rituals as pushed by foolish mullahs and followed by their blind followers. People need to realise the fact that religions were originally invented by people as their customs because they did not have guidance from Allah yet but people became stuck with them even after Allah sent them guidance to think and do better. As explained already Allah had to wait for mankind to rise to level of knowledge whereat they could benefit from guidance of Allah because human beings were created without knowing anything but capable of learning and doing thing through their provided brains, senses and bodies. This is why when man began to think at higher level and realised the need for guidance of his creator and sustainer it is then that Allah taught man things he did not know by means of his revelations. It is not that in its originality religion or spirituality is wrong but because it became static and an obstacle in the way of development and progress therefore prosperity that all this became wrong. Had people moved on from religion and spirituality or secularism onto revelation after it became available to them the problem will not have risen between mazhab and deen or for that matter between religion and secularism. After all one is about God and the other about having good life in this world and that is what deen of Islam is basically about as explained already in detail. So one can see how consistent all these are with each other if they are looked upon in a sensible way. It is like a child is rising in his level of knowledge of things with time and rich life experiences. Problems only arose between religion or spirituality and the way of life when religion in itself became object or goal and material world was forsaken despite the fact that a human being is material being with material needs. The same happened with secularism when it was taken too far that people rejected idea of God altogether where as people do need food for higher thought as well. This is why people ended up into three main groups ie theists, atheists and people of deen of Islam. All can be fine if people abandoned religion and spirituality as well as secularism and adopted the way of life advised by their creator and sustainers which can lead mankind to all they will ever need as has been explained in detail already. However it is not that easy till people become educated and trained thinkers to see the whole picture that puts everything into a proper sensible context. This may also explain why some people originally misinterpreted divine revelations in religious context instead of context of way of life advised by Allah. It is because some of them may have thought it will be easier for them to get aboard religious people than the secular minded or some of them may have thought their religions could get legitimate base for their existence. However it was not a right thing to do and time has proven it because today all such people are bitter enemies of each other ie religious, secularists and people who work for deen of Islam. So if anything such ideas have only added to confusion of mankind. 18] It is because among them within their kingdom in which We placed abundant prosperity We also placed cities in prominent positions with set stages of journey in due proportion so that they could travel to and fro in stages in safety and security, therefore We said to them, ensure by taking all necessary measures that you can continuously travel through the cities by day and by night in complete security and peace of mind. 19] Yet after they have had guidance from Us instead of thereby moving closer to each other as a brotherhood of humanity they distanced themselves from each other by inflicting harms and destruction upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other and blamed Us by saying, our Creator and Sustainer has caused distances between us because We let them fall apart and become an unknown people scattered among other populations due to their own thoughts and actions against each other. Surely there is a lesson in all this to observe and learn from for every people who wish to be steadfastly consistent in using Our provided things properly. Almost all people in the world believe in God in such a way that makes no sense whatsoever. This is obvious from movies made by Indians particularly between 1950s-1980s and the very same is true about movies made by countries based on Christianity and Islam etc. All promote the idea of personal God that has nothing at all to do with purpose, planning, organisation or rules and regulations etc. All such people complain to God, why have you done this or that to us. It is because people think they have no part to play in scheme of God or that God only wants them to cry to him like babies so that he could solve their personal problems as if he is their slave at their service. When things go wrong for people instead of looking at what they have done wrong which resulted in that outcome they simply blame God as if they had nothing at all to do with it. In these verses Allah explains what is wrong with that sort of belief in God. Such idea keep people confused and in chaos. 20] In their case what Iblees said proved true as they all followed his way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other except a small group of those who truly committed themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and proved that by their deeds. 21] It is not that We have given any authority to Iblees that people should follow his way of life rather people are put through struggle by way of interaction to make obvious to each other which of them are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and which of them are turning future of mankind into doubt and confusion, because your Creator and Sustainer has set-up systems and laws to guide and guard all things for a set purpose. Word SHAKK is from root SHEEN, KAAF and KAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to use something to make a hole into something. Also to show inconsistency or a fault or break or defect in something in some way, an explanation that has a flaw in it, to pierce or puncture, to prick or pick, to dig a hole, to limp, to have an incomplete explanation about something, testimony of a witness that contradicts itself or the related self evident facts, something that causes doubt about something in some way, to doubt, to not to accept something true or proper, to stick or stand out, to be confused, to be dubious, to waver in opinion, to not be sure about something, to raise suspicion or doubt, to be unbelievable, something beyond belief or acceptability, a misgiving, a mishap, to fall short of requirement or standard, to fall below standard, to attire oneself completely with arms and weapons, antlers of a dear, apparel, to dress up for the occasion, to prepare oneself for the event or task ahead, to be ill prepared for dealing with a situation, to have a reasonable doubt regarding something, getting of things into each other, things becoming mixed up or muddled up or mingled together, to have difficulty in choosing one or the other thing between the two, to have difficult or stressful choice, something impure or unclean or unclear, something fuzzy or misty or foggy, entering of things into each other, to make a hole through in something, something unreliable, to have no confidence in something, to lack trust in something, an undetermined state of something, an indecisive state of affairs, something lacking precision, something falling short of target, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, palm of a hand or something like the palm of a hand, something shock absorbent, cushion, tender hearted, to have soft corner for something etc etc. These verses explain how Allah has set-up universe and role of mankind in it. One of their role is to keep each other in check so when people go beyond the range set for them, things happen that bring people back into the range they are set under laws of nature. The best lot are those who try to overcome their problems through following revealed program of Allah. However they are too few and far between because most people are not bothered with trying to understand things properly with help of observation of universal realities in light of divine revelation and vice versa. 22] Say to those who have taken rulers other than Allah, rely all you like upon those whom you take for rulers other than Allah but the fact is they own not even an atom in the heavens or in the earth, nor have they any share in creation of any of them and none of them is able to help Allah as His equal in power and creativity. Word ZAAM is from root ZAA, AIN and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to guess, Also to conjecture, to assume, to allege, to claim, to undertake, to invent, to forge, to fabricate, to accuse, to be responsible, to be liable, to be held accountable, to be in charge over something or someone, to be leader, to lead, leadership, to be a guarantor, to pledge, to assure, to take charge of, to take over an office or responsibility, a statement or something that could be true or false, to state something falsely, to make a false statement, tool or weapon or something like a tool or weapon, something instrumental in deciding something about something, eye or something like an eye in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. 23] This is why their intervention cannot benefit masses who take them as their rulers against His set-up systems and laws but only as much as is already part of His plan to serve His purpose of creation and is therefore not against His set-up systems and laws. However masses will not realise this fact until concerns put in their minds by their priests are addressed through education and they ask you the prophet, what has your Creator and Sustainer actually revealed and they verify it for themselves and accept it saying, it is the truth and He is far greater in His power and creativity than those upon whom they rely as their rulers instead of Him. Word FUZZI is from root FAA, ZAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to take a fright. Also to become terrified, to take one’s fear away, to relieve one’s stress, to wipe out terror, to become horrified, to remove one’s fear, to calm down someone, to comfort, to show compassion, to threaten or frighten, to put fear in someone’s mind, to terrorise, to cause to suffer a fright, to suffer stress or discomfort, to worry or be anxious, to suffer depression, to go to someone’s aid, to help or assist someone, to save or rescue someone, to seek help or assistance, to call for help, to remove stress from someone, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, to spread rumours or slander, to backbite, to conspire, gap or gulf or distance or difference between two points, tool or weapon or something like tool or weapon in some sense, to use fear as weapon or tool to make someone do something, something that is instrumental in doing something, eye or something like an eye in some sense, water well, spring season, new beginning, to spy, to watch over, to keep an eye upon, to take care of etc etc. In grand scheme of things each and everything has a part to play even a tiny atom to make the whole thing work but nothing at all can go outside the set limits of Allah to upset his plan or purpose for his creation. All things in the universe are nothing more or less than parts of a machine that works. Since Allah alone is rightful owner of everything therefore none has right to claim ownership of anything at all and that is why all people must interact on that basis and not try to enslave each other by trying to be masters of each other in any way. Instead all must follow guidance of Allah as to how to deal or interact with each other properly. 24] In order to help them learn and realise ask them, Who provides your sustenance from the heavens and the earth? If they cannot answer then tell them, it is Allah! Certainly one of us the opposing parties either we or you are rightly guided or in manifest error as we both cannot be right in our opposite claims. This sort of questioning is necessary for people to ask each other to help each other realise who the real creator and sustainer of this universe is, rulers, money lenders and mullahs or Allah. All problems in the human world are due to people trying to take each other for masters or slaves instead of establishing the human brotherhood properly as guided by guidance provided by Allah. The main thing to realise for each and every human being is that all people are born in this world and that they occupy space and have mass therefore each person needs personal space or place to fit in neatly. Not only that but each and every person has genuine needs and those needs lie in someone else’s space or place. This is why people need a way of life that caters for them the way things naturally are. This way of life therefore has to be based upon cooperation of people with each other so that all get what they need with help of each other. The only other way is for the stronger or advantaged person to eliminate all others and that is when fights begin among people with each other. So people have no choice but to adopt one or the other way of life. If people decide to adopt Islamic way of life ie the way of life which leads them to unity, peace, progress and prosperity then they will have to give up mindset, attitude and behaviour that motivate them to attack others and loot and plunder them or to trick them for taking away whatever they have like adults trick babies. One can only be a predator for others or a genuine helper and supporter. In case people adopt the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other then they need to be ready for facing consequences as well as explained in detail already. In that case nothing can save them from killing and injuring each other in different ways, not even God because God only saves those who live by way of life advised by him. 25] Say, you are not required to fulfil responsibilities assigned to us just as we are not required to fulfil responsibilities assigned to you rather we all must fulfil responsibilities assigned to us by our Creator and sustainer to the best of our gifted abilities if we want a blissful, dignified and secure existence in this world for ourselves as a proper human community and a rewarding hereafter. Word AJRAM is from root JEEM, RAA and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to cut off. Also to pick, to harvest, to acquire for oneself, to earn, to deserve, to commit a crime, to carry out an illegal or unlawful act, to pass away, to die, to come to an end, to compel, to lead into, to tempt, to incite, to induce, to be guilty of a crime, to feel guilty for doing something wrong to someone, to be aggressive, criminal, crime, aggression, to do evil, to reproach, to incriminate, to commit an offence, to pick the fruit of a tree, to cut off a branch of tree, to wound or injure something or someone, to scrape or strip off the meat from the bones, to use something abusively, to plunder or loot, to steal, to rob, to take away the fruit of someone else’s labour to one’s own house, with particle LAA this root means certainly, no doubt, surely, obviously, evidently, incumbent upon, camel or something like a camel in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. The Quran repeatedly tells us that all people are creatures of Allah and he has created them for his purpose and that purpose cannot be fulfilled in a beautiful way unless people do what is required of them faithfully. Each person is given some abilities and set of circumstances to work in certain situations so one should try one’s best as per one’s abilities to fulfil one’s role. It is because if anyone fails to play one’s assigned role properly then a lot of things dependent upon that role will become muddled up and cause a lot of problems for human beings themselves and that is why human community will fall into problem after problem and difficulty after difficulty due to knock on effect on things. This is why little problems could turn into huge problems in time to come. Moreover none is held liable for thoughts and actions of anyone else. 26] Say, guidance of our Creator and Sustainer can bind us together in due course by opening us up to the truth because He thereby makes obvious to us how to remove obstacles between us that hold us back from unity, peace, progress and prosperity. Word YAFTAH is from root FAA, TAA and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to open. Also to find a way, to seek or give judgement, to conquer, to have victory, to triumph, to succeed, to win over, to adjudicate, to make room or space, to make a hole or an aperture, to have a key for something, to have formula, to have a way for doing something, to open up, to bestow upon, to favour with, to reveal to, to decide, to be let loose, to loosen up, to be free, to have freedom, to be successful in solving a facing problem, to come across a breakthrough, to arbitrate, to throw open, to open wide, to overwhelm, to over power, to overcome, to be responsible, to treasure, to keep, to store, to have stewardship over, to help or seek help, to assist, the running water on the surface of the earth, to make facts obvious, to open things for examination or analytical consideration, to open up things for scrutiny, to untangle a complex thing into its simple parts, to make a difficult situation easy, to solve a problem, to restrict or limit something, to defend, to put a stop to something, to remove obstacle in the way of something, to become aware of facts, opening up of things, fence or something like a fence in some sense, womb ot something like a womb in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense etc etc. 27] Say, show me some evidence about those for whom you assume the right to be rulers other than Him. No, you cannot. On the contrary the fact is, Allah alone is mighty wise rightful ruler of this kingdom of the universe. Word ALHAQ is from root LAAM, HAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to reach. Also to link, to join, to seek, to have, to get, to obtain, to achieve, to pursue, to catch up with, to leave, to depart, to accomplish, to follow, to imitate, to copy, to support, to strengthen, to reinforce, to attach, to annex, to unite with, to become one, to marry, to ally with, to form an alliance with, to cause to join, to be adjacent with, to be joined with, to be with, to be in step with, to be consistent with, to be straight with, to have similar opinion or point of view about something, to have same outlook on things, to assume same thing about something as something else, to think similar about one thing as another, to think two different things are similar or of same value or status, to have same respect for two different things, to give same right to two different things, to think the same about two different things, to go after, to be on the move towards a target, to think or do the same as others, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense etc etc. 28] O messenger, We have sent you to none other than the group of mankind from the time of your appointment, to deliver them good news of blissful, dignified and secure existence if they commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and forewarn them about the consequences if they refuse to do so even though most of the people are bothered not to use their brains and senses appropriately to observe and learn to understand things properly. 29] All they say is, when will this promise of yours about blissful, dignified and secure life providing kingdom or terrible uprising will become fulfilled if you are telling us the truth? 30] Tell them, for your information the appointed time is based upon firm conditions to be fulfilled so when the conditions are met and the tipping point is reached the promised moment will arrive in one form or the other depending upon course of action you have taken because it cannot neither be delayed nor can be made to take place earlier. The Quran keeps telling people that in time to come one or the other thing is bound to happen ie coming about of a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah due to education based revolution or coming about of a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah after a period of upheavals in form of bloody revolutions one after the other till people have learned their lesson and adopt the way of life advised by Allah. So when will one or the other thing happen depends upon people themselves as to what they do and how they do it and whether they take time or do it quickly. 31] Yet those who reject and oppose Our guidance say, we will not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to this Quran nor according to any of the scriptures that came before it. If you could but imagine the situation at the time promised when these inflictors of harms and destructions upon each other for petty personal gains at each other’s expense are made to face the consequences of their thoughts and actions against each other by set-up systems and laws of their Creator and Sustainer tossing accusations and blames against each other. Those under the influence of rulers, money lenders and mullah will say to them at the time, if it were not for you, we will have committed ourselves to guidance of Allah to work for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. Word MOQOOFOON is from root WOW, QAAF and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to stand. Also to remain standing, to station, to stop, to fix in place or position, the place where something is fixed or stands, to clarify the matter, to explain, to expand, to make someone face something, to make someone meet something, to make one face the consequences of one’s thoughts or actions, to erect, to acquaint oneself with something, to inform, to let know, to become silent, to pause, to be reticent, to fall into dispute, to elucidate, to make clear, bracelet, anklet, hand cuff, fetters, chains, to imprison, to hold still, to halt, to make stand up, to be made to stand up, to become stranded, to entrap, to become stuck in a set of circumstances or in a situation, immobilised, to base something upon something for some reason, to put someone or something under a condition, hook or something like a hook in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense etc etc. When things get bad for most people in a human population in a place then rulers, money lenders and mullahs all come under fire by the people under their influence. That is why each accuses others for whatever has gone wrong in that population and many a time things get worse and into needless bloodshed. That is because when people die anyway then they rather kill those people who they think are responsible for their this situation. 32] The rulers, money lenders and mullahs will say to those who are undermined by them, could we really stop you from following the guidance of Allah when it came to you if you had truly decided to follow it? No, not at all, the fact is, you yourselves are responsible for crimes you committed against each other against the goals and guidelines assigned for mankind by Allah. 33] But those who are influenced and thereby undermined by them will say to those whom they took for their rulers, no, not really, it were you people who cooked up plots day and night bidding us to reject and oppose guidance of Allah through conspiracies and to take rulers other than Him. They will come to regret their ways of life they had adopted once they come to see the results of what they have done to each other and that is how We leave such people on their own who fetter and entrap themselves up to their necks by rejecting and opposing Our guidance. This is how We make mankind face consequences of what they think and do against each other. Word NADAAMAH is from root NOON, DAAL and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to regret. Also to feel sorry about something, to be sad about something, self condemnation, to reproach oneself, to feel sorry for oneself, to feel the loss of something, to be angry with oneself over doing something wrong which cause one to lose something, a fellow drinker or drinking partner, an intimate companion, wife or husband or a very close friend, remorse, repentance, to be regretful, penitence, fish or something like a fish in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. Word ANAAQ is from root AIN, NOON and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is neck. Also stiff necks, notables, to twist the neck, to wrestle, to struggle, a legendary bird, the phoenix, a very large bird of prey, a bird that goes through cyclic regeneration or rebirth, to take someone by the neck, to control, to have someone in grip, a narrow or constricted area of a bodily structure, the part of a tooth between root and crown, the part of a garment that goes around the neck, a relatively narrow part of a body, channel between two seas that connects them, neck of a bottle or pot, to strangle or decapitate, a narrow margin, to be involved in something up to one’s neck, to have one’s plate full, to have no time or place left for anything else, to be fully engaged in something, to be deeply involved in something, to be occupied fully, to wring one’s neck, to fetter, to imprison, to restraint, to hold back someone from doing something, to make one do something, to have one totally under control, eye or something like an eye in some sense, fish or something like a fish in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense etc etc. As people keep ignoring message of Allah they are getting themselves in deeper and deeper troubles that are getting wider and wider and time is coming when people will rise up against the ways of life masses are forced to live-by by a few on the top. 34] The fact is We never sent a warner to a land but its political, economic and religious leadership said to him, we strongly oppose what you are sent with. 35] Moreover they said, we have more personal wealth and manpower than you people as individuals which indicates that Allah is happy with us so we will never be of those who suffer down turn falling into life of misery. This is what almost all rulers, money lenders and mullahs think and propagate that God that he is happy with them that is why he has given them plenty while others are left with nothing. However the Quran makes it absolutely clear as to what is really going on. People are created for a set purpose into advantaged and disadvantaged people and they are supposed to be lookafter each other rather than try and undermine each other. There is nothing wrong with having all the best things this world has to offer people but on the condition that all work together as a family and share them freely. None has the right to have or withhold anything from others which serves their need. It is for having and withholding things of need which Allah has provided for all that such people are condemned who do things the wrong way not for enjoying good things in this world along with everyone else. This is why any anti materialism idea is condemned by Allah repeatedly unless it means personal gain for some at the expense of others. 36] Say, surely my Creator and Sustainer provides abundantly for whichever people so desire by working for it according to His guidance as a proper human community and sparingly for whichever people show no such desire by working for it according to His guidance and the fact is most of the people do not bother to learn and understand His guidance properly therefore cannot follow it faithfully and that is why they keep themselves in terrible state of existence that they do. The Quran repeatedly tells people that it is he alone who provides and sustains mankind but he has way to do things and people need to learn that way and then do things that way and then they will get what they desire if what they desires fit in with his plan otherwise people can say and do what they like they cannot get what they want because that is not the way Allah set-up the universe to work. Any machine that is designed by its designer to work in a certain way cannot work any other way so if anyone wishes to properly benefit from that machine then one will have to learn how the machine works and then use it the way it works otherwise one will not be able to make the machine work to benefit from, one can blame the maker of the machine all one likes. 37] It is not your personally gained wealth at the expense of each other nor the number of people under your control that can bring you closer to Our required standard rather it is people who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and do works that help mankind unite, progress and prosper that meet Our set standard and that is why there is many folds reward for such people who work according to Our guidance as a brotherhood of humanity therefore they end up in blissful, dignified and secure existence. These verses explain how Allah has set-up the world to work and the role of people in it. In that scheme of things Allah has provided all for mankind forever and it is up to them to make use of it in such a way that humanity as a whole develops and progresses and becomes prosperous. Having personal wealth, kingdom and slaves is not the sign of pleasure of Allah rather it is sign of his displeasure because to be in good books of Allah one has to meet his set requirements as they stated in his revealed messages. Allah does not give some plenty because he is pleased with them and keeps the rest hungry because he is angry with them such nonsense is fabrication of mullahs to confuse masses to make them accept poverty as will of God for them which is not the message of the Quran at all. On the contrary the Quran explains program of Allah for mankind that he has given everything mankind will ever need but that along that he has given them his guidance as to how they should live so that none of the people deliberately inflicts harms and destructions upon each other or tries to be master or becomes a slave to another in any way that results in arrest of development and growth of humanity. If people work as one family fully motivated, they can get many folds better results than those achieved by individualism based upon rivalries and animosities. It is because building your things while you destroy what is built by others will not lead to as much progress as much if all were involved in building whatever they could with help and support of each other. 38] So those who strive hard to make people reject and oppose Our set goals and guidelines for mankind to accomplish in order to prevent them from becoming a reality in the real world their ending up in terrible painful suffering in due course is a foregone conclusion. 39] Say, surely my Creator and Sustainer provides abundantly for a community of a people who manifest their desire for it through working hard for it according to His advised way of life and limits His provision for a people who show no such desire for it by ignoring His guidance. The fact is, you people who work hard as a proper human community according to His guidance keep open not a useful thing for use of each other and make no effort for ensuring well being of each other but His set-up systems and laws pay you back many folds more than that. That is how He proves His set-up universal systems and laws and revealed way of life for mankind are sufficiently efficient and best for provision of sustenance for them. In this verse Allah explains what ummah is and what kingdom based upon guidance of Allah is and what deen of Islam is ie it is basically a way of life for ensuring blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind. Any way of life other than that can never ensure well being of mankind as a proper human community. Moreover genuine unity can bring many benefits for humanity as already explained in detail. 40] As for those who strive hard to make people reject and oppose His advised way of life in this world therefore live by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other one day He will gather them all together and will ask His missionaries, did they live by way of life We advised for them through yourselves or not? 41] They will reply, sovereignty only belongs to You therefore our loyalty rested with Your advised way of life not with their way of life, however their loyalty was with way of life that was assigned to them by their influential people because most of them trusted them rather than us. 42] However on that day of final judgement none will have any power over anyone else to protect anyone or for that matter to harm anyone. So to those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other in this world We will say, taste the agonising painful suffering which you said will not be the outcome of your harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against the weaker member of your societies. The main issue in these verses is rulers, money lenders and mullahs denying masses their right to provisions of Allah as set by him for them. Just as this causes painful suffering to masses as a result of their denial of rights for them one day Allah will make dominant people face the consequences for doing this to others. This punishment will be many folds because of knock on effect of what they will have done. It is because anything done wrong deliberately to anyone has many repercussions as result of interdependence of humanity in this life. For example, if a person is stopped from getting his education then his generations to come could also be affected by that for many years to come. An ignorant person does many wrongs because he does not know better and each of those wrongs has many knock on effects. So one can imagine what one is actually doing by doing just a little wrong to anyone. This is why taking such things lightly is not the right way to look at these things. 43] Today when Our clearly verifiable true revelations are proclaimed to them they say, this man only wants to turn you away from the way of life of those rulers whom your forefathers have been serving. So they say, therefore this Quran is only an invented lie. Moreover those who reject and oppose Our verifiably true guidance when it comes to them say, this is nothing but falsehood which is explained to us as the actual truth. 44] But the fact is, We have not sent them any books to study recently before this nor have We sent them any warners recently before you so where have they got these ideas and practices from for using each other abusively instead of struggling together as a single brotherhood of humanity for ensuring the well being of human family? In these verses Allah is explaining to people the fact that without his guidance they could not find the way to a blissful, dignified and secure existence as is very much obvious from their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours throughout the world. People are so hell bent upon making life of each other hell that they do not even bother to think twice when they inflict harms and destructions upon each other as if they are not human beings with minds and senses but just automatic machines that do things without thinking about consequences of their actions for themselves and others. 45] This is nothing new what they are saying about Our guidance because those who have gone before them also denied and opposed Our guidance which could lead them to unity, peace, progress and prosperity as a people. These people whatever they think of themselves have not reached the social status that We bestowed upon them through Our blissful, dignified and secure existence providing guidance till they ended up ignoring Our guidance Our messengers brought them so how was Our set-up for taking them to task for disregarding Our warning? Verses like this simply explain how nations were guided in the past and how they developed and prospered but after some time their later generations failed to maintain that status generation after generation so they deteriorated into nonexistent people unless they realised what went wrong for them to be in that state of existence and they repented and mended themselves. So no matter what a people think of themselves they cannot be equal in progress and growth to those who work as a proper human community based upon guidance from their creator and sustainer. As explained already in detail the Quran explains how Allah has set-up the universe to work just as he explained it to earlier generations of mankind. Some accepted divine guidance and lived a great life others ignored and end up destroyed by hands of each other. This will continue happening till all people have learned their lessons the hard way if not the easy way. 46] Say to your people O messenger, I advise you people sincerely to do just this one thing for sake of ensuring well being of yourselves as a people which is, base yourselves upon the foundation provided by Allah individually as well as collectively and turn into reality the explained advantages for all of you and that should prove to you that your fellow human being Muhammad is not really an insane person rather he is nothing less than a plain warner to you to forewarn you of a severe painful suffering that will befall you if you do not learn to live with each other on basis of brotherhood giving up rivalries and animosities based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby you work against each other and in due course end up destroyed by hands of each other. These verses are repeating the point made earlier that working for the betterment of each other is the only way to go for mankind if they want a brilliant future for themselves. A point which shows that the Quran is word from a source other than humanity because mankind despite so many prophets and books remain focused for their living on the idea of personal gains at the expense of each other. The scriptures from God being very educational have been shared among people freely whereas if the authors of these scriptures were people they could have taken advantage of people but they did not. On the other hand any person who becomes a bit more aware of things than rest of people he tries to use that knowledge to trick others to take undue advantage of other any way he can. Such a thing is missing in people who claimed to be messengers from God and their God given scriptures bore witness to that just like the Quran today bears testimony to the prophet-hood of the last messenger of Allah. No such messenger has come to people ever since with a book like the Quran. 47] Say, I do not ask you any of this for my personal gain at your expense rather what I am telling you is all in your own best interest as a people. It is because outcome of my hard work also like outcome of your actions depends upon the very same set-up systems and laws of Allah as He has set them up to make everything obvious for all of us to see for ourselves and plan or change our courses of actions if need be for the better. 48] Say, all this proves the fact that my Creator and sustainer reveals to me that which is verifiably true because He makes known to mankind the outcome of their own thoughts and actions. 49] Say, the verifiably true guidance from Allah has arrived and falsehood cannot overcome it either through its open attack upon it nor through its conspiracies and the proof is that falsehood can never provide proper basis for mending human relationships to bring them together as a proper human community. 50] Say, if you still think that I am in error then the resultant loss to humanity because of me is surely upon my shoulders but if I am on the proper path to blissful, dignified and secure life then it is surely because of what my Creator and Sustainer has revealed to me. No doubt He helps humanity observe things closely to learn from to come to know the truth. 51] O Muhammad, if you could but imagine the state of mind of those populations that reject and oppose Our guidance at the time when Our set-up systems and laws deliver them outcome of their own thoughts and actions against each other suddenly and unexpectedly striking terror in their minds, so they end up in state of shock which leads them into chaos and confusion from which there is no escape and that is how these people will also be seized by a people close-by them if they fail to learn the truth and follow it. Word FOWT is from root FAA, WOW and TAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to escape. Also to miss, to bypass, to pay no attention to something, to ignore or neglect something, to remain unaware about something, to be taken by surprise, to escape the notice of, to accuse falsely, to vary greatly, to be flawed, to be inadequate, to be insufficient, to not to meet required standard or specification, to pass away from, to escape someone or something, to suffer or make suffer disparity or partiality, to be victim of prejudice or bias, to escape the grip or control of, to get out of reach, to fail to take action on time, something that is out of reach or is very difficult to reach, something impossible to get or do, something beyond one’s capability, to be inconsistent, to be disproportionate, to be out of balance, to be ugly, to be misplaced or misappropriated, to mishandle, to be defective or faulty, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense etc etc. People are always attacked from within or by a people who live in a place close by them if they live as predators looking forward to victimising each other. They do so as soon as opportunity avails itself. If people prepare for one side they get attacked from the other side. Once surprise attack takes place the victims have little chance of escaping the death and destruction. So it is better for people to learn how to live with each other on basis of brotherhood than live on basis of rivalry and animosity. Such life has nothing good in it for anyone be one predator or victim. It is because one always has to look over one’s shoulder day and night because one could be attacked by anyone at any time anywhere. Therefore promoting rivalry and animosity is nothing less than a criminal act in sight of Allah and that is why he warns against it repeatedly throughout the Quran. Life of insecurity is a terrible painful suffering in itself then after death one has to think of excuses for facing the creator and sustainer for doing all one did in this life. 52] At length when it happens to them they will say, we commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind but how can they do that today the while what is to befall them is still at a distance for them as they see it but of what benefit will it be for them to commit to Our program when they have no time left to recover from the state of existence they have gotten themselves into? Word TANAAWUSH is from root NOON, WOW and SHEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is to get hold of something. Also to seize, to hang on to, to take, to receive, to save, to come face to face with, to attain, to reach, to grasp, to understand, to comprehend, to make sense of, a strong person who has strong grip over things, to achieve, to accomplish, to establish, to request, to ask for, to demand, fish or something like a fish in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense etc etc. 53] And people like them opposed Our guidance before them but in actual fact they conspired against their own bright future when they like these people saw themselves distanced from the forewarned event. 54] Their refusal in following Our guidance is due to the fact that it places a barrier between their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires against humanity for personal gains and that is how the same was done by the people before them who were of similar mindset, attitude and behaviour. They were surely taken over by doubt about Our guidance because they bothered not to find out the truth about it for themselves. Word ASHYAA is from root SHEEN, YAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to break up something into bits and scatter them. Also to spread or let spread or scatter or disperse, to let something decompose or break up or fall apart, to approximate or estimate something in number or quantity, to follow a guest to bid him farewell or goodbye, to make one thing follow another, to become widely known, to broadcast, to publicise, to announce publically, to become famous, to go along with the idea of another, to be of the same persuasion or party or group or crowd or sect, to belong to same family or clan or tribe or community or population, to be biased, to be partisan, to cause sectarianism, to cause division, to make divide permanent, a people who have same opinion or conviction, ilk, caste or class or kind or type or faction, to be made of same material, flute or musical sound, a voice or sound for uniting the scattered group of things, the loud cries of a shepherd for gathering his sheep, to do the same to one person or group as to the other person or group, a caller, a person who invites, a person who accepts invitation, to person or thing that respond to the call of a caller, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense etc etc. Surah 35 FAATIR– Capabilities needed for originating and evolving things rests only with Allah and mankind will do fine by understanding properly and following faithfully his advised way of life This surah is named FAATIR from root FAA, TWAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something original. Also something genuine or proper, the way something naturally is, something fit for its intended purpose, to do something the very first time, to tear or rend or split, nature, instinct, to crack open, fungi, to bring out, to originate or create or fashion, to break the fast or silence, to start a conversation, to initiate a course of action, to split apart, genesis of creation, the original unadulterated nature of things, natural disposition, flaw or defect or fault or inadequacy or inconsistency, nature as opposed to nurture, to fall short of requirement or specification, a set standard, to rent apart, gulf or gap or distance, something different or distinct, Something natural as oppose synthetic or manmade, beginning, straight, limit, the original way of doing something, permanent, unchangeable, fungi, instinct, to crack open, to bring out, to fashion, to break the fast, natural disposition, unadulterated or unaltered nature of things, flaw, inadequacy, defect, to create, laws of nature, a reference point, a centre of attention or focal point, divine rule of law, something new, a novelty, to be in pristine state of existence, to suffer no change or alteration, 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. This surah is named FAATIR not because it uses word faatir in it but for its subject matter that is discussed in it. It is about capabilities and creativities of God and people. The goals set by God for people to accomplish and the given guidelines that they must follow to save themselves from humiliation that will result if they did not. This surah explains how God has been sending messages for mankind to guide them through his appointed missionaries in various formations to ensure the message reached the intended groups of people in the world. He told people it is he who has created them for serving his purpose according to his plan so they must not go against that or they will not have the life Allah has intended for mankind instead they will end up turning their world into a living hell hole from which it will not be easy for them to get out, so the best thing for people to do is to avoid falling into that kind of life that could entrap them for rest of their lives. People are warned against becoming victim to any leadership that could mislead them from the path of life that Allah has advised for them. This leadership is called SHAITAAN because it leads people away from way of life advised by Allah to a way of life invented and imposed by rulers, money lenders and mullahs. This surah talks about pyramid scheme used by rulers, money lenders and mullahs which leads people to power struggle between themselves for trying dominate each other by trying to undermine each other. It is made clear that only perfect words of Allah can guide humanity to life of unity, peace, progress and prosperity. People are told that only Allah had the power to originate and evolve this universe and that is why he knows how to guide people to their destination which is blissful, dignified and secure existence in this world and better hereafter. This is why no matter what people cannot find any way of life better than the one explained by Allah try all they want but ultimately they will come to realise this fact by themselves after trying whatever they like. Human beings are created for becoming capable of managing the universe for their own well being. They are not created to be submissive to anything in this world save Allah himself. This is why they should not end up worshipping each and every creature in this world in the name of Allah. The Quran leads people away from personality cults by telling them to follow laws of Allah. When people will follow laws of Allah then question of personality cults does not rise at all because all do what they told by law for their own well being as a proper human family or an ummah. The surah is mainly self explanatory so any further needed explanations is placed under verses themselves. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] Sovereignty belongs to Allah alone, the originator of all the galaxies including this galaxy who appointed the best people as His messengers to deliver His messages to mankind at times in groups of twos, threes and fours because He adds to His formation and creation whatever suits His plan for His purpose and that is how Allah has set-up systems and laws for all things to work according to. This verse is telling mankind that Allah has originated this world and all that is in it including human beings by way of laws of nature evolving it over a period of time. He has brought about mankind and provided them with his guidance to stop them from harming and destroying each other for petty personal gains at the expense of each other and to have a blissful, dignified and secure life through a way of life that can lead people to unity, peace, progress and prosperity. So there are two sets of laws used by God for this world and people a)for bringing about and operating this universe and whatever it contains and b)for helping humanity to overcome laws of nature through acting upon sensible conscious decisions based upon his guidance. In a way humanity is told that you can be like God to a limited extent in managing this universe for your own good if you use your God given brains, senses and bodies along with other provided things in the universe, so man is created to exercise his God given abilities in form of his creativity just like God manifests his power through his creation and revelation. This means man is not created by God to be like a monkey or a donkey etc but to become a proper human being through learning things properly and acting upon that knowledge faithfully as guided. It is because human beings have been created with a limited ability of choice within grand scheme of Allah to serve his purpose. The idea that God does not exist is as stupid as the idea that God creates each and everything as an individual item directly by saying be to it and it is. God had a purpose in mind for creating things so he planned the whole thing and then initiated his plan to turn into a reality therefore as time goes on things are unfolding as planned by God. Whatever systems, structures, mechanisms, processes and laws he used are observable in natural universe for mankind to find out or discover and make sense of things. After all Allah did not create all the galaxies in the universe as individuals directly did he? He did not create solar systems and their individual member planets as individuals, did he? Even when it comes to living things he did not create them as individuals directly, did he? Each and everything we observe in the real world has something acting as its parent or parents. Likewise in the plant kingdom we have parent plants and children plants. In animal and insect kingdoms we have parents and children and likewise humans too have parents and children as we all know. Since the universe gave birth to all the galaxies and galaxies gave birth to solar systems and our solar system gave birth to its planets including what we call the earth and then the earth brought about living things, so where is the problem in accepting the fact that each thing came about from something else as its parent? All living things came from same tree of life which was originally a single cell in its simplest form. Moreover the universe recycles its stuff and so does the earth. We eat living things and digest them and they become parts of our bodies and rest is rejected as refuse. As living things die new things come about and some from the very same material that was used earlier by natural processes for other things. So there is nothing wrong with people being created from whatever God has designed them to be created from. If God had decided to create monkeys and then from monkeys he created human beings then so be it there is nothing at all wrong with it. After all human beings eat all kinds of things as food including pigs, donkeys, monkeys or dogs etc etc. If a people have been eating these things and then they became Muslims will their future generation have no traces of such foods from which their bodies were made? If man is top creation of Allah why his food is just animals, vegetables and fruits? Is man then not eating things lower in standard than himself? Or is food something higher in standard than man? If man can live on lower things than himself then what difference it makes for him being created from monkeys or donkeys? People say we are children of our mother earth, think about what goes-on on the earth. We eat from it and we empty ourselves on it. We carry around our dirt inside ourselves. All animals and insects we consider dirty eat and drink from the very same sources as ourselves, so the idea that because Allah says we are higher category of creature than the rest how can we be created from monkeys could it be that absurd? This does not mean human beings were actually created from monkeys but just supposing if they were, it will have changed nothing at all. It is very important for people who claim to be Muslims to learn about things particularly about origin and development of human languages. This will help people understand the book of Allah properly rather than fighting over nonsense interpretations of it by ignorant and foolish mullahs, scientists or philosophers etc. Once Muslims understand the Quran properly as it is supposed to be understood and they spread its proper message properly then all arguments against the Quran and deen of Islam will end. This is how powerful the message of the Quran is. The idea that we need some sort of magic stories to make the Quran acceptable to humanity is absurd such falsehood if anything dishonours the Quran and humiliates humanity itself. What we need is actual knowledge about things the Quran talks about to see how nicely it explains them for us to know them so that we humans could function properly in this world of ours. Scientists who disagree with Muslims only do so due to reading the interpretations of the Quran by foolish mullahs as already explained in detail. The main difference is context in which scientists look at things eg evolution of living things. However what is important to note is the origin of scientific explanations time and place wise. This is important because a people born and raised in an environment usually think inside that box till they have learned to think outside that box. Even today science is mainly talked about by people from religious backgrounds and hardly people talk about science in proper context of the divine scripture the Quran. Even people who claim to be Muslims do exactly the same. They do not try to discover what the actual text of the Quran conveys in its proper textual context in light of real world realities but they follow whatever mullahs tell them and try to bend scientific facts according to that which ruins the science. The case is very same with scientist who have given up religion and have turned atheists. They also leave the scripture aside accepting whatever they learned about religion from their mullahs or clergy and found it wrong. They never went through actual textual context of the Quran to see whether mullahs have interpreted the text of the Quran properly or not. Had they done that then they will have seen that the Quran is very much scientific book because it is based upon real world realities as Allah knows them and talks about them. The problem is that world makes no sense without a creator and scripture makes no sense to people who study the world because they do not try to discover what it has to teach them about the universe. This is the actual reason for clash between scientists, mullahs and the Quran. Mullahs who never studied the universe talk about it in context of their understanding of the Quran merely using words about which they have no idea how they came about and evolved or work. This is why mullahs think God created things as mullahs tell people and scientist tell them there is no God and world has come about all by itself and has been evolving ever since to become what it is today. Mullahs claim God created each and everything individually by his commandments but this is not what the Quran teaches so mullahs are clearly wrong. Atheist scientist claim that world evolved out of nothing but get stuck when they try to explain it because they cannot find missing links that could show smooth transition of species through species that could go between the known species of things. It is because if world came about and evolved all by itself then it needs a lot more explanation regarding its origin as well as its intermediary steps than we have come to know so far and are going to know for a long time to come. This is why atheist scientists can never win just like mullahs can never win unless both learn things from science and the Quran in light of each other. This is why the universe and things in it show they have been originated and designed by their creator and sustainer. As time goes on, the facts told about the universe in the Quran will become more and more obvious to mankind which will also make obvious to mankind that the Quran is truly revelation of Allah and not a production by human beings themselves to fool people. Constant running of water smoothly is not same as inconsistent dripping of water drop by drop each drop varying in size and mass etc. This is the main difference between atheist context of evolution and the Quranic context of evolution. One way of happening things leaves unexplainable gaps between happening things giving rise to sense of design and planning but the other one does not but that is not what is actually happening in the real universe either and no scientist can ever prove it that way. This difference therefore clearly shows whether things have been done by a doer or have happened all by themselves. Mullahs have not understood the Quran properly due to lack of knowledge so far because they think Allah can do anything he likes at any time because he is all powerful. If they could educate themselves and realise the fact that God had a purpose in mind for creating this universe and things in it and that is why he planned and designed things that way then they could see that God could not act haphazardly otherwise the whole planning and designing of God could come to nothing at all and God will fail in his objective which is impossible. This is why mullahs, philosophers and scientists need to sort themselves out regarding the Quran so that humanity could breath the sigh of relief. 2] The blissful, dignified and secure life that Allah has planned for mankind through His advised way of life none can withhold it from becoming a reality however none can deliver to mankind that which He has made conditional unless His set conditions are met because He is might wise ruler of the kingdom of this universe. Word MUMSIK is from root MEEM, SEEN and KAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is hide in which flesh and bones are enclosed. Also hide used for making water skin for carrying or storing water, to wrap up something in something, to put a condition on something, to place an obstruction in the way of something, to place an obstacle before something to stop it from going or moving, to stop something from happening, to stop someone from doing something, to holdback something or someone, to imprison someone, to contain something, to stick to something, to hold water from escaping, to be niggardly, to be envious, to be miserly, musk, to hold wife back from divorce, to remain or hold firmly in place or position, to be jealous, to catch, to arrest, to get hold of, bracelet, anklet, a catch, to seize, to firmly or strongly adhere to, to be guided by, to be holding together, brain, to stop doing, deposit, to be impregnable, water reservoir, to scent, to hold fast, to be resolute, to tight fisted, to withhold, to retain, to keep, to stand guard over, to stop, to sustain, to hold up, to support, to hold onto, to spare, to take firm hold of, water or something like water in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, palm of the hand or something like the palm of the hand etc etc. 3] Therefore O you the mankind, spread among yourselves the blissful, dignifying and life securing message of Allah He has bestowed upon you. Is there any originator and evolver of all things other than Allah who can provide you with sustenance from the heaven and the earth? There is no ruler in this universe other than Him. Why are you then allowing yourselves to be deceived by each other by remaining ignorant about His provided guidance? 4] However if they still oppose you after all this explanation O messenger, worry not because so were opposed Our messengers before you by their people. However to settle all affairs ultimately rests with set-up systems and laws of Allah that make people face consequences of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. 5] Listen O you the mankind, the promise of blissful, dignified and secure life in this world through guidance of Allah is a verifiable truth therefore let not your present way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other deceive you nor let any opponent of way of life advised by Allah lead you away from guidance of Allah. Word TAGHURRA is from root GHAIN, RAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to raise false hope. Also to deceive, to cheat, to mislead, to delude, to lead astray, to dare to do wrong, to have courage to do wrong, to have reason to do wrong, to take away from the proper course of thought or action, to marry a woman who is thought to be free or unmarried but afterwards it is discovered that she is a bond or married woman, something that causes chaos or confusion in some way, to give or create false reputation around something or someone in order to deceive, to exaggerate or diminish something for deception, the folding of a piece of cloth, the white spot, a white spot on the face or forehead of a horse, first day of the month, blank or unused, to be of clear complexion, to be foolish, to be simple minded, gullible, inexperienced, untrained, unskilled, to make vain promises, to lull into false sense of security, conceit, self deception, to cause to be vain, to cause someone to have false idea about oneself, to cause to think lightly of or about, to falsely embolden, guile or deception, illusion, to be a deceiver or deceived, eye or something like an eye in some sense, head or something like a head in some way etc etc. According to the Quran humanity has to look out for certain kind of people in order to stay safe and remain on course set for it by Allah. These people are a)those who try to control others in the name of politics like Pharaoh (inventing and using ruling systems to use and abuse others for personal gains eg like kings and emperors), b)those who try to control people in the name of God through inventing religions or make beliefs like Hamaan, (inventing and using ideas in the name of God to use and abuse others for personal gains eg like priestly system and priests), c)those who try to control people in the name of economics like Qaroon. (inventing and using money lending system to use and abuse others for personal gains eg like bankers and money lenders and traders for profit), d)those who suck up to people who have power and sell them to masses so that by that mechanism they could use and abuse them at will, like people of Lot. In other words such people facilitate use and abuse of masses by people in power, and e)those who invent and spread hearsay stories in opposition to divine guidance as moral stories based upon make beliefs to undermine deen of Allah like Samiree. In other words according to the Quran there are six kinds of enemies about whom Allah warns humanity that they will attack mankind in various ways to take undue advantage of them. These people do not have extra brains or senses or bodies but that they use themselves in a way that is harmful and destructive for humanity. It is because they base their way of life upon the idea of working for themselves or personal gains. This is why they are bound to use and abuse others any way they can and as much as they can. The idea of personal gain at the expense of human community life is a very dangerous one and that is what materialism and greed is all about. This idea leads these people to divide humanity, set-up rivalries and plot fights and wars between them in order to secure their dominant position. So they look for what people want and then they try to give them that in a way that they get the very people whom they are going to use and abuse to support them. It is like creating a condition where sheep themselves offer themselves for sacrifice. In order to fight it off people cannot afford to be stupid and ignorant hence the need for study about how people really live in the world and what is results of that and how they should live in this world and what will be the result of that. The Quran is a comprehensive book that covers all ways of use and abuse of people by each other and explains how they can get out of it and which way of life they should adopt to have a better life. Basically there are only a few ways people can live a)according to a verifiably true revealed guidance from God b)according to a way of life that is based upon laws of nature as observed by humanity itself c)according to religious beliefs and d)according secularism. One can see none of these is an easy option because all options require learning and hard work. If one fails to carry out what is needed for one to survive according to any of these ways of life then one will lose out and fail to survive ie salvation is not an easy thing at all. Coming to advantages and disadvantages of various ways of life, the Quran details them fully by drawing our attention to end results of opting for any of them. It explains why only that option is must for humanity that is based upon the Quran. Any other option has major flaws due to which none of them is suitable for long term dignified survival of humanity. The Quran is full of stories about past generations for this very reason to bring people to their senses that none of those options have proven good so far and none of them will prove good in future either. All the claims in the Quran can be verified by the individuals by simply observing the real world and the people in it as to their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. No need at all for long drawn out baseless arguments. 6] Surely such a leader who rejects and opposes way of life advised by Allah is harmful and destructive for your future who tries to take you away from way of life advised by Allah therefore he is an open enemy to you so treat him as such. Watch out, he invites people to be members of his party to live their lives according to his way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other so that they end up in painful suffering in due course by hands of each other while he takes undue advantage of them to have a great life himself. 7] So those who will reject and oppose Our advised way of life on basis of promises by such leadership, for them there is going to be terribly painful suffering in due course. However those who will commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and will do works that help mankind unite, develop and prosper for them in due course there will be a dignified and secure future due to greatly blissful outcome of their own thoughts and actions for ensuring well being of each other. 8] Can such a person be guided by guidance of Allah who’s harmful and destructive thoughts and works against others are so fair seeming to him that he considers them good and proper? The fact is, Allah lets stray away from His advised way of life any people who so desire by thinking and acting that way and guides any people who so desire by thinking and acting that way. Therefore O messenger, let not yourself suffer the sorrow due to regretting such peoples’ mindsets, attitudes and behaviours as oppose Our guidance. Allah surely exposes in due course their invented harmful and destructive ways of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other through results of their own thoughts and actions against each other based upon them. Word HASARAAT is from root HAA, SEEN and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to be naked. Also to be without headgear or clothes, to peel off, to open, to skin, to be skint, to recede, to abate, to regress, to withdraw, to become tired, to be penniless, to have great sorrow, to regret, to long for, to collapse due to fatigue, to become weary, deep sorrow or anguish, to feel defeated, to regret failure in accomplishing something, to be stripped, to be totally poor, to have nothing at all, to be bare, to be destitute, to be regretful, falling off of feathers of a bird, to become limited or confounded, to be ashamed for saying or doing something, to become exposed, to become aware of, to become clear, to become aware of actual reality of or about something, to brush, to clean up, to sweep, to sweep clean, the sweeping brush or something like a sweeping brush in some sense, to do something in vain, to do something which brings no return or benefit, disaster or catastrophe, to raise voice or cry in regret or sadness, fence or something like a fence in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. As already explained in detail leadership and supporters both need to be up to scratch to be able to accomplish divine goals as per divine guidelines. Bringing about or setting up a divine kingdom is not a piece of cake. To begin with all participants therein need to be highly educated people, highly dedicated people and very hard working who do not get tired, bored or frightened easily. This is why the Quran is an inspiring book but only for those who are looking for such level of motivation because to work for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind is not a joke. One has to have love and respect for suffering humanity not hate or contempt to begin with because only proper knowledge and action with love and compassion can conquer hearts and minds. One has to be able to take lesser harmful and destructive action in order to save humanity from greater damage and destruction where need be. In other words one has to have clarity of mind about all the facing issues before one actually has to face them in the real field. Confused people cannot be good leaders nor good supporters or followers. This is why current state of ummah is not satisfactory for bringing about a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah because the very level of its knowledge about the Quran is in question even within itself due to existence of numberless sects within it. This is why it is unable to meaningfully engage each other and humanity at large or confront opposing ideologies and forces head on to smash them because the verifiable falsehood cannot stand against the verifiable truth. So people who are interested in better world must come to grips with the message of the Quran as a starting point. This means bringing down barriers between individuals and nations and letting the Quran speak for itself instead of mullahs pushing their rubbish down everyone’s throat as message of the Quran through their falsehood in order to confuse people for their own ends or agendas. The proper Quranic message of the Quran must be allowed to appear in the main stream media throughout the world so that humanity could have a real hope for better future by coming to know which way they need to go and how they can get there in shortest possible time, so that painful suffering of billions of people in the world could be brought to an end, the sooner the better. 9] Behold! It is set-up systems and laws of Allah that raise winds to raise the clouds then drive them to a dead land and thereby revive the land through rain after its death. Similar is the rising up of dead nations through Our inspiring and motivating revelations. Word TUSEER is from root SAA, WOW and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to plough the field. Also to train or cultivate, to civilise, to confuse, to cause to become angry, to provoke, to cause to agitate, to disturb violently, to till the soil or ground, to prepare the field for sowing seeds for crop, a bull or cow not used for ploughing the field yet, untrained, unskilled, uncivilised or uncultured, a person void or unaware of manners or social etiquettes, to raise, to cause something to act, to motivate, to urge or push something into some sort of action, haziness, mistiness, to raise dust or smoke, to cause fogginess, to raise clouds, to cause something to rise or come about or happen, an oxen, to stir, to excite, to swirl up, to agitate, to rebel, to rage, to break up, to chase, to dig up, to look into, to find out, to move, to drive, to set in motion, womb or something like a womb in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. Throughout the Quran Allah gives example of rain bringing land back to life because his revelation inspires humanity through thinking into action that brings it back to life each time it leads itself to brink of destruction. It is because just as water irrigates land so message of Allah irrigates minds. 10] If any human populations are seeking a blissful, dignified and secure existence then let them become aware that all this entirely depends upon people understanding properly and following faithfully the way of life advised by Allah, because in His sight, His perfect words for their guidance can raise mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence through their own hard works based upon them. So those who live on basis of scheming and plotting harms and destructions against each other they are bound to end up in severely humiliating painful suffering in due course and their conspired schemes and plots against Our guidance and humanity will be brought to nothing at all by Our set-up universal systems and laws. Word YASADU is from root SWAD, AIN and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is false pride or someone full of hot air. Also someone who does not take something seriously thinking one knows better, to be on high horse, rise on a high, climb the ladder or go up the hill or mountain, go about the land, to travel far, to go away, to leave something far behind as if never to come back to it, highland, dust, dusty atmosphere, a problematic society or environment, to rise towards height so far that it become difficult to breath, something very difficult to do, hardship, something that involves very hard struggle to achieve or accomplish, to be in trouble, to be in painful suffering, narrow mindedness, to have a very limited or narrow point of view, to put up struggle to rise, to climb, to ascend, to surface, the upper crust or surface of the earth, clean soil, to labour, to undergo difficulty or distress or hardship, to move off briskly, to climb up in a hurry, something over powering, severe or insurmountable difficulty, great torment, flat barren piece of land, extract, essence, to squeeze life or juice out of something, to spy, a watch tower, to guard, an obstacle or obstruction, resistance or impedance, reluctance, tree or plant or something like a tree or plant in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense etc etc. Word YARFA-UH is from root RAA, FAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is moving up the ladder. Also rising above or gaining ground in some way or getting nearer to an objective or goal ideologically or actively in actual reality, to raise, to uplift or lift up, to pick up, to raise to a height, to raise up or above, to erect, to establish, to set up firmly in a place or position, to set or solidify or settle, to spread, to expose, to show, to cause to appear, to exaggerate, to expand, to stretch, to be solid, to be tough, to be strong, to be fast, to be quick, to hurry up, to move fast, to pull a fast one, to make fool of, to deceive, to plot, to conspire, to go up the high land or mountain, to become more and more successful, to rise up the ladder of success in some sense, the lightening that flashes from a height, to make something look standing high above something by making it stand below it, to give impression of something grand, to raise one’s voice, to take a stand about something, to stand up for a cause, to stand up for one’s rights, uprising, to revive, to resurrect, to raise to ranks, to honour or dignify, to hoist, to elevate, to submit, to rise, to glorify, to exult, to eliminate, to remove, to cease, to dry up, to place high, to increase in volume, sublime, gap, gulf, difference, distinction, to have control over something, watch tower, to spy, to guard, head or something like a head in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense etc etc. 11] All because it is Allah Who brought forth all of you the living things for His purpose from the dust to begin with then through the living cell and then He evolved therefrom all kinds of living things like yourselves therefore no female conceives or delivers but according to His knowledge based set-up systems and laws. Moreover no human being grows old or has his/her life cut short but is based upon His set-up systems and laws, surely all this was easy for Allah to set-up and to make it work. Word YUNQAS is from root NOON, QAAF and SWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is something that lacks something in some sense therefore it is incomplete. Also something that falls short of its requirement, something faulty or defective in some way, to reduce or decrease or diminish, to disparage, to lessen, to consume, to dismember, to short change, to give or take less than due, to leave wanting, to leave short of, loss, weakness in the mind or body, faults or shortcomings, to clip edges, to round off, to smooth off something coarse or rough, to refine, to give finishing touches to something, something that breaks off of something complete, to fall apart or break down, to become ugly or useless, something that can no longer serve the purpose due to becoming faulty in some way, to fall short of something needed, to lack necessities of life, to be needy, fish or something like a fish in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, tree or plant or something like a tree or plant in some sense etc etc. The Quran is the only book that answers questions raised by mankind in a way that makes sense eg why some grow old and why some die as children? Why some rule and others live life of misery? Why people live the way they live regardless rich or poor? It is all due to how humans have organised and regulated this world for themselves. It is because God created the world for people to manage it for their own good or bad. If they do not want to live by way of life advised by Allah then they are left to themselves so they can fight it out between themselves and see where it leads them that way and if it leads them to bitter end then they can always change their minds and follow the way of life advised by Allah. So far what people have done to people by moving away from guidance of God it is right before everyone’s eyes. Yet we refuse to live as a single united happy family. It looks as if we still have not had enough yet, so let the game continue but future results are not going to be any different because we have based our world on the idea of using each other abusively for our personal gains at the expense of each other in various ways. 12] No two kinds of bodies of water are the same, one that is sweet and pleasant to drink for people and the other which is salty and bitter, yet from each body of water you eat fresh meat and extract ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships ploughing their courses through them for you to seek livelihood in abundance so you should use things provided for you properly for ensuring well being of mankind. Word FURAAT is from root FAA, RAA and TAA. Concrete meaning of this root is fresh water that quenches thirst. Also something that fully satisfies a dire need, a necessity of life, a necessary ingredient for life, sweet tasting water, to be weak minded, to violate or break the law, to do something illegal or unlawful, name of river called Euphrates, something palatable or consistent or pleasant, something worthy of recommendation, something that controls something, something that can be found in abundance, gulf or gap, something that can be collected into something, a container, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense etc etc. 13] He causes the area covered by darkness of the night to pass onto the light of the day and He causes the area covered by the light of the day to pass onto the darkness of the night, and that is how He has made the sun and the moon to serve you the mankind, each is working according to its set out course till an appointed term. Such is Allah your Creator and Sustainer to whom belongs the kingdom of the universe. As for those whom you take for rulers other than Him they own not a least of the things in this universe. Word QITMEER is from root QAAF, TWAA, MEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is cleft in the date stone. Also the thin membrane or covering over the date stone that envelopes it, thin clothing over something that covers it up, groove, a line or writing etched into something for some reason, writing on the stone, something that acts as a reference point, something that acts as foundation or founding stone, the very essence of something, the seed, something in simplest possible form, raw material, something in its original state or shape or form, something that has something to do with origin of something, something considered of lowest possible status or value, something least useful, something available in abundance, something deceptive, something that appears what it is not, something that is falsely given its reputation, to attribute something with false reputation, to inflate or exaggerate something, to fool about, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. The Quran repeatedly brings to our attention natural phenomena for our observations to learn from so that then we could plan and create the world that suits us better as a proper human family based upon his guidance. However a lot of our research and exploration is all about how to increase our use and abuse of each other for our personal gains at the expense of each other. So we have not learned enough yet to create a world for ourselves that Allah had in his mind for us and has told us about it in his revealed books. 14] So even though you rely upon them but they cannot fulfil your needs and wants because they too depend upon Us for their own sustenance that is why even though they can hear you seeking things of them yet they cannot respond to your needs because they are busy trying to fulfil their own ambitions and desires at your expense. On the day of uprising after deen of Allah becomes an established reality they will deny your taking them for partners of Allah in sovereignty of the universe. However none can inform you about all this save the One Who makes all aware about what they are supposed to be knowing properly and doing faithfully. Here it is made clear that people who rely upon way of life invented and adopted by themselves cannot help each no matter what because their way of life is personal gains based at the expense of each other. When all look for their own vested interest only then thinking one will help another for nothing is a farfetched idea. Even if those who are advantaged fell in need of others they will still need the way of life advised by Allah or have something that others want or go without the need being fulfilled. In the Quran Allah keeps telling people the advantages of his advised way of life and the disadvantages of ways of life that are invented by powerful people to suit themselves. 15] O you the mankind, you surely depend upon way of life advised by Allah for fulfilment of your needs properly for your existence that is why He has provided you with His guidance whereas Allah is free of depending upon anything for His existence, the rightful worthy of sovereignty Who made Himself known to mankind through His revelation and creation. Allah has explained the purpose of his creation and revelation repeatedly in the Quran and he did not create mankind to bang their empty heads on the floor to make Allah happy. It is a terrible way to express gratitude to someone who tells you he is not looking for any thanks for his provisions but instead requires their proper use so that once people have a life worth living for themselves they could attend to things Allah has created them for. Should people ignore that and do other things then that will be like someone gives you something to deliver it to others and you keep the thing and say thank you to him for giving it to you and then put it somewhere and forget about it. The results of our such mindsets, attitudes and behaviours are right before our very eyes ie a useless population of people saying one thing and doing another and claiming to be Muslim and custodian of deen of Allah. The Quran tells disadvantaged people to unite upon way of life advised by Allah if you want to get what you need or keep on suffering by hands of those who use people abusively by adopting their ways of life. Allah used word KASHAF in the Quran which is from root KAAF, SHEEN and FAA. It has various meaning such as to discover or uncover or remove or disclose or reveal or expose or bare or become aware or make aware and so on and so forth. It is mainly about one becoming informed about something by looking for it eg through search, research or exploration or being told about something by someone else who knows about it. It is used in the quran in 6/17, 7/134, 17/56, 23/75, 27/44, 39/38, 50/22, 68/42 etc etc. Human beings are born ignorant but generally capable of learning. They basically learn through direct experiences of life by interacting with things in the real world with help of their brains, senses and body mechanisms. However human learning does not end there instead this basic knowledge about the universal realities makes them question things beyond their senses. This is what sufi-ism or spirituality is actually about ie to find out where did all this comes from, why it has comes about and how does it all function to serve what end goal or purpose. This is human side of the story. However there is another side to it as well and that is God side of things. God revealed his messages through his messengers to let people know who created them, for what purpose and how they are supposed to work to fulfil his purpose. It is like a son who does not know who his father is and starts looking for him trying out different ideas that come to his mind and his father also starts putting out information to let him know who he is and where he can find him or how. If this spiritualism leads one to revelation of God then it is genuine spiritualism because then one has reached first step of one’s end goal but if it leads a human being to something else then one is not yet successful but one's endeavour is genuine and sincere. This is why people who claim to be Muslims and have actual revelation of God in their hands yet they ignore or misuse it by not being bothered with its proper study and faithful following then they deserve all the worst that comes to them because they have failed to inform humanity regarding what God told them and sent them on a mission as an assignment from God. This is how human beings invented religions gradually and modified them slowly but some totally derailed them along the way so religions became dens of the devils ie tools for abusive use of some people by others. On the other hand Allah informed people about the way that could lead people to him. This is why that way of life is called deen of Allah. This is basic difference between deen and mazhab. Deen of Islam is a way of life told by God himself but mazhab is a way of life adopted by people in the hope that they may find out about God this way. This is why truly intellectual people turn religious in the name of God with all due sincerity if his revelation has not reached them to guide them. On the other hand people who claim to have divine revelation may turn religious instead of learning deen of Allah properly and following it faithfully due to their ignorance and foolishness. That is a step backwards instead of a step forward. So kashaf is basically about searching and finding out about this universe and its creator. However rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters have created a lot of problems for humanity which have made everything far more difficult for them both about religion and deen of Islam because they have created alternatives to suit themselves for their personal gains at the expense of the rest of humanity. 16] That is why His set-up systems and laws make you perish according to His plan when you fail to live up to His set up standard for survival and they come up with new generations of humanity Here the Quran gives reason why Allah has programmed people for bringing about new generations because old generations become stuck in their ways and can make progress no more which is necessary for purpose of Allah to become an accomplished reality. The coming about of new generations of people gives humanity a chance to look at things from a new perspective at least to a degree which breaths new spirit in humanity after a new or fresh start. 17] and that process does not pose any hardship or difficulty for set-up systems and laws of Allah. 18] Therefore fear the time when things could get so bad between people due to living by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby people end up destroyed by hands of each other because none helps and supports another to fulfil one’s needs and wants. When that time comes even if one overwhelmed by needs of necessities of life called out for help and support so that someone could help him fulfil his needs, none will carry out his wishes even in the least be one his closest or intimate relative or friend. O messenger, you can only forewarn about such a situation a people who are willing to listen and pay attention to advice of their Creator and Sustainer for their bright future so that they strive hard to establish a proper human community network for this purpose, so any people who work for removing obstacles in the way of unity, development and growth of a proper human community do so for their own peace, progress and prosperity because it is up to Allah to set goals for mankind and for people to accomplish them according to His set out guidelines. Allah is explaining here the importance of each person and each community fulfilling its given or assigned role properly for human society to work properly. If a person gives his work to someone else to do for him then who will do the work that was given to him? So humanity must organise and regulate itself properly if it wants a better world for itself. All this means whatever job is given to anyone to do one must carry it through faithfully so that needs and wants of those people could become fulfilled who depend upon that. If people as individuals and groups and parties or communities will not do what they are given to do then result will be loss of rights for all those who depended upon that. This is why having proper sense of responsibilities and duties and carrying them out is absolutely necessary for proper functioning of a proper human society. If people develop a mindset, attitude and behaviour that is lazy or crazy and uncaring then such people are bound to end up in painful suffering in due course as their needs and wants remain unfulfilled and start overwhelming them. This is why such people always ended up destroyed by themselves in the past because they did not take care of themselves by doing what they needed to do in order to ensure their blissful, dignified and secure survival. Moreover once things are at the point of no return there is no point in doing anything then because then all efforts are going to end up in vain. Doing too little and too late is not the way to go for humanity. 19] So people must educate and train themselves about things they must come to know properly and do them faithfully because the blind and the seeing cannot be alike 20] nor can the depths of darkness and the light These verses also have parallel complementary meanings as explained already. Blind is ignorant person and seeing is knowledgeable person. Knowledge is light and ignorance is darkness. In these verses Allah is telling his messenger that he should not regret for not being able to educate ignorant, arrogant and stubborn people who do not wish to learn. His duty is only to let people know that there is message waiting for people from God if they wish to know about it. If any are willing to learn about it then deliver them the message and those who are not let them live their lives their way and watch what happens to them by hands of each other ie how such people tear each other up by living the way they have chosen to live by ignoring the proper way of life advised for them by their creator and sustainer. That should open the eyes of others so they may turn to right way of life to save themselves from such an end. 21] or the cool shade and the heat of the hot summer day. 22] and the living and the dead are not alike either. Certainly Allah can make one hear only if one so desires therefore O prophet, you cannot make such people hear as are as if dead and buried in their graves. 23] You are only a warner who can warn only those who pay attention. Verses like this in the Quran are very scientific because science is all about staying alert about things that are happening in the world which is not possible unless one observes universe to become aware of things that happen in it. Learning then should make people think how they should live in this life properly and that way they should come to message of their creator and sustainer. 24] Certainly We have sent you O Muhammad with this verifiable truth as a bearer of good news of blissful, dignified and secure life and as a warner against the day of upheaval, for there has not been a nation which has not had its informant from Us. 25] So if they reject and oppose Our message through you then so did those before them. There came to them their messengers with clear evidences, copies of original scriptures and the light-giving original books. It seems God sent scriptures for various reasons eg originals to guide mankind to begin with, additional to add to already existing scriptures to compensate mankind for changes due to time and place ie later stories of people could only be told in later scriptures eg story of Jesus could not be told to people of Moses. Replacement scriptures due to additional stories as well as due to old scriptures becoming obsolete due to various reasons. This is why each prophet was sent with a scripture hence he is called a prophet because he got his revelation directly from God. The same prophet is also called messenger because he was given the task of delivering the received message to the people he was sent. However, words NABI and RASOOL are used for other than divine prophets and messengers just like word WAHEE or revelation. So one has to be careful not to take words NABI, RASOOL and WAHEE everywhere in the Quran the same way. The context makes things clear for a careful reader of the Quran. This is why finality of divine prophet-hood and messengership is a very important concept to understand. One must remember that no prophet could prove his prophet-hood from Allah without having a book from him. This is why if anyone claims today that he is a prophet from God then he ought to bring a book from God and that book has to be better than the Quran because it has to be the book for future guidance of mankind. The Quran claims that none can produce such a book so if one claims to be a divine messenger yet fails to beat the Quran then one is a liar. So people need to educate themselves so that they are not fooled by claimants of divine prophet-hood after the messenger who was given the Quran ie Muhammad, the prophet born in Makkah but migrated to Madinah in current Saudi Arabia. Although the prophet has passed away like so many before him but his message lives on. According to this message there is no more prophet to come from God. However there are plenty of people who are taken as saints etc with countless numbers of miracles added to their names by their ignorant and blind followers. All of it is made up stuff so people need to educate themselves to remain sane. There is plenty of grave worshipping and holy men worshipping among people who claim to be Muslims due to their ignorance about the message of the Quran and due to confusion mullahs have dished out as message from God for generations. However if people will get themselves some education things will change but it will take time and hard work by those concerned for betterment of humanity. It is important that people help each other become literate as well as rational thinkers if they want world to become a better place for humanity to live in. 26] Yet in the end We found the opponents of Our guidance caught in their own wrong doings against each other, so how was My warning against such mindset, attitude and behaviour taken by mankind? 27] Why don’t you the mankind observe and learn how Allah sends down water as rain from the heaven? With it We bring forth fruits of various colours and likewise in the mountains there are streaks of various shades including white, red and jet-black rocks. Word ALWAAN is from root LAAM, WOW and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is colour. Also to colour, to become of or take on the colour of, to be of the same colour as, to become overwhelmed by, to take on the shape of, to develop the qualities of, to be or become the type of person, to change colour, to become obvious, to become different or distinct from, to become recognised or recognisable, to be changeable, to be capricious, to be hypocritical, species, types, categories, to belong to a particular class or caste or tribe or race or ethnicity or country, to diversify, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, fish or ink or something like a fish or ink in some sense etc etc. 28] Similarly men, beasts and cattle also have their different colours. The fact is, only those of His people who have bothered to learn to understand things properly pay attention to guidance of Allah and problems of humanity, surely Allah is mighty as a guide to protect humanity through His blissful program to live with dignity. 29] Surely those who read the book of Allah with care for understanding it properly in order to follow it faithfully strive hard to establish the proper human community network for using whatever We have provided them with to ensure well being of mankind in private as well as in public, in the hope of promised outcome that cannot fail to materialise. This verse uses word TIJAARAH=business in sense of how people should deal with each other as members of the ummah or family. It is not at all used in the Quran for buying things from each other or selling things to each other for personal profit in the ummah. This exposes what mullahs are dish out in the name of deen of Islam. They are simply part of money market and work for money lenders and they do each and everything to ensure things stay that way this is why they prevent people from getting proper education. 30] So that thereby He rewards them with their full reward as well as gives them even more due to following His guidance, surely He is protector of those who use His provisions properly as told. No matter what people do Allah has provided for them but if they will do things to suit themselves at the expense of each other then they will fail to reap full benefits from the provisions but if they will use them as guided then the rewards will multiply greatly as explained already in detail. 31] As for that which We have revealed to you of the program, constitution and law it is the verifiable truth which is standard for confirming that which was revealed before it. Surely Allah is fully aware of what His human creatures need from Him for their guidance. Verses such as this make it clear what Allah means when he says the Quran confirms the truth that was revealed before it. It basically means the Quran is not the first book that is revealed by Allah rather books have been sent by Allah before it as well. This confirms the claim of those who had received books from Allah earlier ie when earlier people claim they have received some books from God they are not lying rather it did happen in actual fact. It also means the people who claim to be Muslims are not lying either when they claim the same thing as the earlier people did because they are not the first people who claim any revelation from Allah rather this has been the case about the people of the past as well. This is how one people confirm the truth about the claim of the others. This raises a question, what happened to the books of Allah which he revealed earlier? As has been explained already in detail, earlier people who really followed earlier books became followers of the newer books so they gave up their preservation in favour of newer books. Since people have been divided about God over deen of Allah and mazhab of Allah therefore people who followed deen of Allah they kept original books but those who followed mazhab in the name of Allah created their own books and they collected in them whatever suited them from the books of Allah and such books have survived to date because people used them to create a loose connection with Allah. So the Quran confirms whatever is in them from Allah and rejects the rest which is invented by people themselves for their own reasons. For example, if any scripture tells us God is one then the Quran confirms this statement but if one tells us there are many Gods then it rejects it. This is how the Quran acts as if it is a sort of quality control system. Just because the Quran confirms the existence of earlier revelations from Allah it does not mean it blindly confirms each and everything in a scripture that is attributed to God. So the scripture that contains such information is not necessarily word of God in its entirety instead that scripture has copied information in it from the original source that was God. Each scripture Allah revealed to a people remained in existence till it served its purpose and afterwards new scripture took over and the old one was allowed to become obsolete in due course as explained already. 32] Therefore in due course We have given this book as a legacy to pass down their generations to those whom We have chosen of Our human creatures for this era. Some of them reject and oppose it because they are hell bent on inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other among themselves and some of them have sincere intention for following the proper way of life advised by Us in it if they get to know it properly and some of them are foremost in thinking and doing all that which ensures well being of mankind according to will of Allah as explained in it, that is prosperity in abundance. 33] They will enter the kingdoms full of all kinds of precious metals, wherein they will be decorated with bracelets of gold and pearls as medals to show appreciation of their works and their dresses therein will be of silk. When people do outstanding works for the human community they deserve appreciation and to do so it is fine to award them with appropriate titles and medals. The main thing to remember is that man was created in simple state to evolve into a complex and sophisticated human being. This is why the story of man becoming manager of the world is a good one in the Quran. From among animals human like creature rose to become Adam the very first heavenly appointed manager of the world with whom became consistent through guidance of Allah his colleagues ie the rest of chiefs in the land save Iblees. Iblees managed to nibble away support of Adam bit by bit which led to falling apart of kingdom brought about by Adam but he did not give up and struggled to rebuild the kingdom. Mankind succeeded again and again in bringing about kingdoms based upon guidance of Allah here and there by becoming united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous due to guidance of Allah as well as failed again and again due to rivalries and animosities that rose out of ignorance among people from time to time due to their falling for personal gains at the expense of each other. The struggle continues till humanity has learned ways of keeping things on the right course for good so that other higher goals could be accomplished. This is why those who rise to challenges and benefited mankind deserve appreciation. The most effective person ever lived was Muhammad who established a great kingdom based on guidance of Allah and drew attention of humanity to God for the last time. Though kingdom he brought about disappeared but the message he left behind is still alive which could help people bring about even better kingdoms based upon guidance of Allah in time to come if people educated themselves and studied the message for what it is really worth. This time the kingdom will only come about when most of the world becomes highly educated and capable of educating the rest of the world and the kingdom that will come about will never end again. Not only that but the kingdom that will come about will gradually start expanding throughout the whole of the universe. This means humanity will develop into something unimaginable today. 34] They will express or reflect in there through their words and deeds, sovereignty truly belongs to Allah alone Who has given us guidance which helped us remove all our worries from us by knowing it properly and acting upon it faithfully, surely guidance of our Creator and Sustainer helps secure existence of mankind by telling them how to use His provisions properly for ensuring well being of mankind. 35] He has helped us enter into this blissful, dignified and secure kingdom due to His guidance wherein we neither experience any tiredness due to hard work nor sense any boredom. Word LUGHOOB is from root LAAM, GHAIN and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a badly made arrow that fails to meet its specifications or fails to reach or hit the intended target. Also to become very tired, to suffer from fatigue or weariness, to be a weak minded person, to undertake a task tirelessly, to suffer a long chase, to become exhausted, an arrow that fails to reach or hit the intended target, to fall short of fulfilling one’s duty or responsibility or mission or task, to fall short of accomplishing one’s goal, to fail to fulfil one’s mission, to become mentally disturbed, to feel like giving up doing something due to laziness, an arrow that has a manufacturing defect, an ignorant or foolish person, a weak or an inform person, to lack liveliness, to not be active or energetic, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, eye or something like an eye in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense etc etc. In a kingdom where in everyone is free of worries about livelihood, things change drastically due to their mindset, attitude and behaviour. All this happens due to proper organisation and regulation of people on basis of worthy goals for them to accomplish according to provided guidelines that are consistent with goals. Stability of a human population is main thing that brings them sense of security therefore people love to work hard for such a human society and do not feel tired or bored because each person appreciates hard work of others which brings people encouragement. A human society which is based upon undermining each other puts everyone under severe pressure to try and survive and that leads people to doing all sorts of wrongs to each other because all are on their own. This is what has turned this world into dog eat dog world and that will remain the situation till people start educating each other out of this mindset, attitude and behaviour with help of guidance from Allah. 36] As for those who reject and oppose Our guidance they are bound to end up in hell of their own making by hands of each other due to following a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other which causes divisions among them due to rivalries leading them to animosities that ignite fires of hatred between them leading them to wars, this is how they bring themselves into a situation wherein they can neither live nor die and severity of pain only keeps on increasing till they give up such way of life for the proper way of life advised by Allah or perish. That is the outcome of thoughts and actions of all those who reject and oppose Our guidance. 37] Those who will fall in that situation despite Our forewarning well in advance will cry to Us for rescue at the very last minute saying, our Creator and Sustainer get us out of this situation and we promise from now on we will work towards harmony, development and growth of human community instead of working against well being of humanity as we used to do. But have We not given you people lives long enough so that he who wishes could heed Our warnings about coming of this situation and that is why there came to you a warner in advance? Since you did not heed the warning till the very end now taste the fruits of your beliefs and deeds till you perish because there is no helper for those who keep on inflicting harms and destructions upon each other till they become destroyed by hands of each other. Here Allah explains very clearly that there is no help or support by anyone for those who refuse to live by his guidance as explained. The make belief that if people cried before God then he will save them is totally negated because God does not work or do things in a haphazard way as religious people think about God. He works according to his plan for a set purpose in his mind and nothing can derail him from his plan. Anyone who wants a great life must learn and do what God has told in his book otherwise wait till things take their own course and lead one to one’s destination which one has chosen for oneself by thinking and doing what one thinks and does. When it comes to punishment of people for their crimes, it is a natural cause and effect based system at work in this world. You put your hand in the fire you burn your hand. No amount of praying to God can save one from consequences of one’s own such thoughts and actions. Intervention is only possible up to a point in time not after one has crossed the line. It is like one was going to put his hand in the fire and someone saw him and saved him in time. Once one has fallen into the fire deliberately then there is little time to do anything for such a person. One may be able to save a person who wishes to be saved and in time but it is very difficult to save a person who is hell bent on committing suicide. 38] Surely Allah can make known in due course to people for the benefit of mankind through their research and exploration all that is hidden in the heavens and the earth just as He makes known to people their abilities and motivations in their minds through their own actions in due course. 39] It is He Who has appointed you the mankind as managers in His world in accordance with His program, plan and purpose therefore whoever opposes His guidance and strives against its establishment is bound to suffer the consequences for doing so, that is why for such vehement rejecters and opponents of His guidance their opposition does not increase anything except the agonising painful suffering so the rejection and opposition of rejecters and opponents of guidance of Allah increases nothing for them except failure and loss. Word MAQTAA is from root MEEM, QAAF and TAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to offer extreme opposition to something in some sense. Also to offer extreme resistance, to reject or oppose vehemently, to have great hatred or dislike or aversion for something, to detest or loathe, to abhor, to guard, to lookafter, to watch out for, to keep an eye upon, to be an enemy of, to discredit, odium, to marry the widow or divorcee of one’s father, to do something extremely hateful, to extremely hate someone who does something terribly wrong, to disdain, to strongly disapprove, to stay clear of or away from something for some reason, to do something that causes an outrage, something contemptible or disgusting or repugnant or repulsive or dishonourable, an abomination, to do something shameful, water or something like water in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, womb or something like a womb in some sense etc etc. 40] Say to them O prophet, have you ever carefully considered those whom you take for your rulers other than Allah for their capabilities? Show me any part of the earth which they have originated and evolved, or what is their share in the origination and evolution of the heavens? Or have We given them a book from which they can derive authority for choosing their own rulers? No, not at all rather the fact is that those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other promise each other nothing save delusions to deceive each other. The promises by rulers, mullahs and money lenders are nothing but falsehood to get support of people by fooling them any way they can for what they want to gain personally. These people have nothing to show for the good of humanity. The Quran tells mankind these people only build structures to show their dominance and not how much they care for humanity. This is why they do not build schools which educate people out of ignorance and make them useful members of human community and more than that they spend all their strength in raising manpower and weaponry to increase their hold on power for raising havoc and destruction throughout the world. 41] It is set-up systems and laws of Allah that keep the heavens and the earth from falling apart and were they ever to fall apart, none could stop them from falling apart other than Him therefore He is surely capable of putting up with His human creatures and able to secure them through His guidance. Word TAZOOLAA is from roots ZAA, WOW and LAAM and ZAA, YAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to go away. Also to suffer loss of something in some sense, to disappear, to vanish, to collapse, to become extinct, to end, to expire, the ending, to cause a loss, to cause to end or become extinct, to abate, to calm down, to settle down, to cool down, to cause to cool or calm or settle down, to practice, to become dissolved, to move aside, to become distant, to separate, to divide, to sort out, to distinguish between, to make or become distinct, to have a separate identity or classification or category, to be instrumental in doing something making something to happen, tool or weapon or something like a tool or weapon in some sense, hook or something like a hook in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense etc etc. These verses tell about abilities and creativity of Allah and on that basis force mankind to accept and follow his advised way of life so that they save themselves from ending up in hell of their own making. There are two points made here very strongly a)that Allah has done all this that you see therefore he is quite capable of guiding his creatures like human beings and b)that by examining the program of Allah ie his set up goals and guidelines people themselves should be able to see that this program will really work when put in place properly as advised. So it is double verification based idea. This is like someone putting forth a recommendation that so and so is a very good doctor because he has done this and that and that he can also do this or that for you. When you discuss things with doctor he puts to you his plan for solving your problem and from his solution on the paper you can see whether he is right or wrong if you too are learned enough to see that much. Therefore if you are satisfied with his explanation of things then you let him carry them out as well and if all ends up well the point is proven. In a similar way people can learn what God says and judge it for themselves whether to implement his program or not. The other point to be made here is that humanity has nothing to lose but gain everything because it has already tried enough ways of life to live by and the result is so far unsatisfactory and today billions of people are suffering terribly due to disunity and lack of coordination and noncooperation. The result is not going to be any different if we continued living this way for another billion years. So there is no sense continuing things the way that is not satisfactory. 42] In fact these very people used to assure each other by swearing in the name of Allah that if a warner ever comes to them, they will certainly prove better guided than any other people in the world yet when a warner has come to them they have increased in nothing but schism, Word NUFOORAA is from root NOON, FAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to move away from a place or position. Also to become a separate group of people, to be a group of people numbering from three to ten, to deviate from the fixed course, to become a sect or faction, to shift from the fixed position, to agitate, to trouble or be troubled, to become distant, to avoid something, to move aside from something, schism, to start sectarianism, to budge, to rebuke or treat harshly, to kick out from the circle, to exclude from circle, to run away, to flee or take a flight, to start a movement, to stand up or rise up for a cause, to hate, to dislike, to loathe, to run away due to fright, to stand up for helping or assisting someone, a fighting force or group, troops, to seek help, a detachment, to call up, to rise to one’s duty, to scatter, to spread, to fall apart, to disintegrate, to decompose, to stampede, to alienate, a kind of debate between two men each trying to prove his superiority over the other, to contend, to contest, to combat, to rise up and join a fighting army, to leave home to fight with the army, people in general, masses, general public, followers or supporters or party or company or team or helpers, aversion, rejection, detestation, host, a large group of people, to cause to flee, fish or something like a fish in some sense, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. 43] waging wars for domination in the land and plotting harms and destructions against each other despite the fact that plotting of harms and destructions against each other harms none but the people that are authors of it. Are they waiting for the similar end which overtook the people in the past? If so, you will find no change in the way Allah did things always, nor will you find any alternative explanation to that of Allah for their destruction. Word YAHEEQ is from root HAA, YAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to overwhelm. Also to surround or encircle, to have complete control over, to have in grip completely, to hem in, to hold within borders or boundary, to imprison, to have hold over, to surround from every side or all round, to cover up completely, to hide completely, to make one suffer the consequences of one’s thoughts or actions, the covering up of one thing by another completely in some sense for some reason, to settle upon, to stick with, to encompass, to come back against, hardship, retribution, befitting punishment, to befall, to return upon, to rebound, something overwhelming troublesome or difficult, an over whelming disaster or catastrophe, fence or something like a fence in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense etc etc. This verse explains the pyramid scheme due to which people fight each other to undermine each other in many different ways so that they could dominate each other in order to use each other abusively. Here Allah is challenging people as well to find any other better reason to that which is given in the Quran for harms and destruction of people by hands of each other ie the ways of life people invent and adopt are the main reason for whatever is wrong in this world. 44] Why don’t these people travel through the world and carefully observe the evidences left behind by those before them to find out what happen to them that destroyed them who were once far superior in power than their rivals at the time than these people are in comparison to their rivals, the while they lived by Our guidance but later turned away? There is nothing in the heavens or in the earth which could frustrate mission of Allah because that is the way He makes obvious for mankind to see His set up measures in the universe as to how they work for fulfilling His mission. Allah has set up in this universe systems, structures, mechanisms, procedures and practices as well as processes and laws which ensure his objective and planning succeeds no matter what. Anyone who tries to interfere in set up of Allah in any way beyond his given freedom ends up destroyed by one’s own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions as already explained. People who ended up destroyed in the past did exactly that ie they went about their lives in a way against the advised way of life by Allah and so their thoughts and actions against each other led them to their own destruction. A clear proof that nothing can work in favour of humanity that is not consistent with set up of the universe as explained in the Quran in all necessary detail. 45] Had it been the intention of Allah to make all harmful and destructive people face consequences of all their misdeeds instantly, His set-up systems and laws could not have left any such human being in the world at all but He has set them up in such a way that human populations have been given respite for a set period of time to learn through observations of the real world realities and His revelations to bring changes for the better in the world so that as their promised time approaches they come to know that set-up systems and laws of Allah have been monitoring and delivering the results of thoughts and actions of His human creatures all along. If people have proper foundation and they keep building upon it properly then one day the structure will become a complete thing otherwise it is all in vain. Not only that but if there is a proper program then that could cut short the time needed for building the structure completely. This is why learning from observation of universal realities and discovering how to make proper sense of divine revelations is of vital importance for mankind to bring about a blissful, dignified and secure world for themselves. |

Surah 36 YAA SEEN-The one who is assigned the mission of ensuring well being of mankind
This surah is named YAA SEEN. Taken as two separate letters, letter YAA means hand or something like a hand in some sense. It means what hand is and what a hand does or what it is used for etc etc. This is why letter YAA has many meanings eg power, control, grip, handle, punch, fight, hook, linkage, relationship, connection, reach, jurisdiction, to have a hand in something happening, to show one’s hand, to offer a helping hand, to assist, to trick, sleight of hand etc etc. Likewise letter SEEN means tooth or teeth or something like a tooth or teeth in some sense. It means what a tooth is and what it does or it is used for etc etc. This is why it has many meanings eg tradition, custom, rule of law, constitution, to hold onto something tightly or firmly, to bite, to cut, to be firmly in place, to injure, to be sharp, a pillar, to be upright, a compassionate or kind hearted man or person, humanity, leadership, human society, to be infirm or unstable, to be painful etc etc. These meanings could be further expanded by combination of these two letters. This Surah is named using two letters YAA and SEEN just like surah 20 TWAA HAA. It is possible to take YAA as an exclamation particle for drawing attention of the addressed before telling him what one wishes to say but what about letter SEEN? If we take yaa as an exclamation particle then SEEN becomes a noun or an adjective. It could then be interpreted as O SEEN. In that case what could be meaning of word SEEN? In the context of verses following it, it seems that by this combination Allah is talking about his messenger to whom he sent this message ie the Quran. It would appear as if Allah is saying in the Quran, O, my human messenger Muhammad or O you who are dedicated to welfare or well being of mankind, the Quran is evidence that you are a messenger from Allah to mankind. In a way it seems from the context that Allah is saying, the Quran is my work and it should be obvious to any person who looks into it carefully with necessary knowledge and that proves you are my messenger because I gave you the Quran to give it to people. I also think that like other verses with parallel meanings these letters also serve some other purpose as well. However the understanding of the Quranic text is not an easy task to undertake because the information contained in the Quranic text is in vast quantity that cannot be fathomed by any human being in its totality. The more you come to know the more there is to find out and learn. Just as research and exploration of the universe seems unlimited so the information in the Quran seems unlimited despite both being limited things in actual fact ie the universe does have limit and the Quran is also contain in some pages as a complete book. This surah is named YAA SEEN because the Quran talks about Allah and his last messenger to mankind with his final message in form of the Quran. Allah chose some people as his messengers to receive his message from him and deliver it faithfully to mankind so that if humanity so chose it could help itself to a blissful, dignified and secure life in this world. The reason is that unless people have secure life in this world they cannot explore creation of Allah to its fullest to benefit from it and to ultimately realise the creative ability of its creator, which is primary or main purpose of human creation or a creature with ability of self programming and creativity. The main pattern of information laid out in this surah is similar to other surahs as explained already ie the ultimate authority or source of the message, evidences and importance of following this message by the mankind. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] YAA SEEN. (O man, who is assigned the mission). 2] AL-QURAAN AL-HAKEEM is the proof, Here in this verse of the Quran Allah uses letter WOW with word AL-QURAAN. This construct has a special meaning eg I/we swear by the Quran, I/we cite the Quran as an evidence or proof or witness, I/we call to witness the Quran, I/we put forth or present the Quran as an evidence or a proof etc. It also means through this Quran I/we state that or by means of this Quran I/we or hereby I/we or the Quran is the evidence or the proof that etc etc. The construct used here is AL-QURAAN AL-HAKEEM. The Quran is the scripture revealed by God but God also claims that this scripture is AL-HAKEEM ie it is something special or unique or distinct in various ways. It is special because it contains a special kind of wisdom and that is because it is not wisdom learned through life experiences rather it is a revealed wisdom of the one all knowing about everything. It is this quality of the revealer of this wisdom that qualifies him as a guide, which makes the Quran a unique book in this respect. The Quran is book of wisdom because it informs people about their origin, their purpose of existence, how things work and how they fulfil the purpose of their existence. For humanity it also sets goals to accomplish and it provides them with guidelines for formation of constitution and laws to set themselves up as a proper human community that is fully organised and regulated for accomplishing the stated goals. Not only that but it also contains a program or a road map for humanity to help them accomplish the stated goals. This is how the Quran proves it is not a book produced by human beings and that is how it proves its claims true. Here the Quran claims to be full of wisdom for organisation and regulation of human population into an ummah. Word HAKEEM is not only about rulership but also rulership based upon wisdom. Anyone who claims to be wise can be tested for his wisdom and so can be the Quran to see whether it is really full of wisdom or is it just an empty claim. People learn wisdom after many years of learning throughout their lives and their lives are full of revisions or readjustments and reformations because human mind changes with time as one learns more and more new things each and every day. The Quran on the other hand shows no such variations despite being revealed over a long period of time. A clear proof that it could not be a human production because people when they sit to write even a letter, they waste so many pages in trying to figure out what to write and what not to write in case it is not appropriate. Politicians and other important people try to avoid making such statements which they may regret later due to saying something which proves unwise in time to come yet despite all efforts people do have their moments of falling from the grace but same cannot be said about the Quran. What it said right from the beginning remains the same till the end ie it is a consistent book. Consistency is a sign of wisdom. The other thing the Quran does is, it tells the prophet to deliver the message openly in public regardless the message offends people or makes them humble through impressive message and the way it is delivered. It speaks in authoritative voice constantly through the mouth of the prophet regardless of the power the people addressed command against him. It is because so he is commanded to do by Allah and that is what root of word HAKEEM means ie commandment or commander, which is another evidence that the prophet is in actual fact delivering the message of God and not speaking out his own words. A person could waver in case of one’s own writings or readings or can make changes to it at will but that was never the case with the Quranic message because it was not his message to make changes to despite people asking him to do so. These sorts of evidences together with many others become a very strong proof that the Quran is truly word of God. Also because the verses of the Quran are interconnected like a nicely knit fabric leaving no loose ends. There are many signs for wisdom and the Quran has them all in it as explained already here and there eg the size of the text and the related information ie using less text for more information is a sign of wisdom. All this shows divine wisdom at work. It is for such like reason that Allah puts forth the Quran as proof that Muhammad is his indeed his messenger etc etc. 3] that you are one of those who have been sent Here Allah assures his messenger that he is not alone rather many like him have travelled on the same path before him as explained throughout the Quran. So if any people tell him he is on the wrong path, he needs not to worry about it because same was said to messengers from Allah by their people earlier but the end results showed very clearly who was right and who was wrong. So he is assured that he is a messenger of Allah and that he is on the right path for knowing and fulfilling the purpose of his existence because that is what the Quran is revealed for. 4] upon the very same path that is firmly founded. All the messengers were sent the very same way by God for the very same purpose ie to let people know the proper way to live in this world for fulfilling the purpose of God for which he created them. Unless people follow that way of life they cannot have a blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community in this world to begin with let alone fulfil the purpose for which Allah has created them. 5] It is revealed by the mighty ruler of this kingdom of the universe to show mankind the way of life that can lead them to blissful, dignified and secure existence The Quran repeatedly tells people that it is a book that is sent down from above. A book that is not produced by any human being because it is beyond capability of mankind for the reasons explained already. This does not mean God lives in the heavens above but that he is the sole authority over all that exists in his kingdom of the universe. In other words the Quran is sent down by a being who has power over all things. The Quran also contains early warnings for people which means it is an external source of information because it is sent to alert people inside this universe so that they do things to save themselves from all sorts of problems they could get themselves into due to unawareness. Word RAHEEM in this verse also shows how concerned Allah is about well being of people otherwise he had no reason to guide people. To forewarn people about dangers along the road is an act of concern in itself for the people and not only that but to show the way how to remain safe and secure during the journey is not something that should be taken lightly. 6] so that you make aware about Our advised way life the people whose forefathers were not made aware about it again recently because they have become unaware of Our originally advised way of life so they have fallen victims to their own ignorance. Here it should be obvious that originally Allah made all people aware about his guidance but at times some human populations became unaware about it so they were sent messengers again to make them aware again. The final messenger made all people aware once more for the last time as to which way of life was right for them if they wanted a blissful, dignified and secure existence for themselves in this world and a better hereafter. So far the message is still there intact but people fell away from the right path soon after his death and kingdom based upon guidance of Allah fell apart for the reasons explained already in detail. The human brotherhood he brought about broke into pieces due to serious mistakes of his followers. However that sort of kingdom could be brought about again by humanity if it so wishes because the whole thing upon which the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah is supposed to be build is still there in the form of the Quran. For the time being most people are interested in the kind of life the Quranic program offers but they are not willing to make needed efforts for learning about it properly so that then they could make efforts to implement it faithfully. Things do not happen all by themselves to satisfy desires of people rather they need people to work for them. Mullahs have taken ummah away from original deen of Islam by way of tricking them into religious mindset, attitude and behaviour which is highly detrimental instead of being beneficial. 7] Surely Our advised way of life will become a reality for most of mankind despite the fact that some of them do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. People need to go through two stages of learning before they could qualify as learned people. 1)They must learn things by directly interacting with them if they do not then they cannot learn anything about reason at all because reasoning is a mental process that is initiated by external world realities. It is by seeing things or hearing things one tries to figure out what may be going on. All this is a mechanical or physical process which is the starting point. Only when a person has a wide and deep life experiences one can master reasoning and become consistent in reasoning which increases mental capacity of a person for understanding abstract concepts. 2)Once one becomes good at reasoning things in the physical world it is then time for one to study the message of God in detail and try and make proper sense of it. Once one has proper sense of real world realities and proper understanding of divine guidance then one is ready to work for it to turn it into a reality faithfully. The people who fall from grace first start ignoring learning about divine guidance and that leaves them to real world realities only and after a while people become so negligent and careless or carefree that they stop learning even about the real world realities. This is how human populations end up destroyed by not learning about things they need for their survival. It is because to survive one has to have what it takes to survive otherwise one cannot survive. Likewise if one wants a blissful, dignified and secure life for oneself then one has to have all that is necessary for one for having that sort of life otherwise one cannot have that sort of life no matter what. This is why having knowledge of real world realities and deen of Islam is of vital importance in light of the Quran. This is why people who claim to know real world realities if they have no knowledge about guidance of Allah then they are not fully learned people yet. Likewise if a people claim to know deen of Islam but have no idea about real world realities they too are not yet fully learned people. Only when the two aspects of knowledge come together in a mind that is the mind that can be classified as learned. The main reason is each aspect depends on the other for its fullest possible understanding. This is why scientists and philosophers are as blind as mullahs if they do not know the real world realities and the Quran in light of each other in detail. Most people confuse facts, theories and laws so one has to ask, what is the difference between facts and theories and laws? First of all words fact, theory and law have various meanings which depend upon the context of their use or purpose. However in one respect facts are objects or things that are detectable with human senses either directly or with help of instruments ie real world realities are concrete facts be they within our own reach or not. In this context theory means explanation that helps make sense of the things or facts or real world realities or objects. An explanation is based upon reasoning as to how things are connected together to serve some purpose as a unit just like a mechanism has physical parts connected together to function as a machine of some sort to serve some purpose. In the same context laws are those observed realities which happen repeatedly the same way or are made to happen the very same way. It is a matter of if, then and always. Law means a way of doing something or a way of making something happen the same way. For example, if water is poured on the ground then it will flow downhill due to gravity. Since this will happen always therefore we can take it as a rule. If anything consumable is put in the fire then it will burn. Since this will happen always therefore we can take it as a rule. Coming to theory of evolution, it is not a fact in the sense explained above because it is not a real world reality or an object but an explanation of some observed real things or objects be they small or large. Whether an explanation is complete or incomplete depends upon facts or objects used in its explanation. The more the number of facts or objects there are the better the explanation of the facts is because the increased quantity of things in the sample helps understand something better due to filling up more and more gaps just like quality control sampling. The higher the sampling frequency the narrower the gaps between sampling periods therefore it is more likely that faulty goods will be caught and less likely that faulty goods will escape detection. Since for Godless explanation of evolution samples so far collected or are available are not sufficient in numbers therefore it is not as good an explanation as is necessary or needed therefore to take it as a something water tight is not right. There are far too many gaps between things which clearly show they do not transform into each other smoothly rather they need more and more intermediary things to go between them. This shows steps or breaks or irregularities which lend support to God based idea of evolution rather than the Godless based idea of evolution. For example, big bang seems to be a controlled inflation of the universe or expansion of the time and space for serving some purpose rather than a random explosion which could have led to chaos instead of the fully functioning universe. As for evolution based upon divine intervention there is more than sufficient evidence for it. For example, so many variations in each and every kind of things in ways that cannot be explained any other way than external intervention due to gaps between species of things called missing links. More than that the origin of things which did not exist is better explained that way only ie a thing which we accept has come into existence had to have a parent or originator otherwise it could not come into being. I am here due to my parents and the chain goes back but it has to stop at some point in time. If this does not stop then that leads us into infinity which is impossible for things that come into existence because before child things could come into existence their parents must first have to be there and if parents of parents are not there then how could the children of children come into existence? This being the case we have no choice but to except that ultimately there is something there which was always there which did not need a creator which brought the non-existing thing or things into being eg the universe and things in it. Since things need to be functional that come into existence otherwise they cannot survive regardless living or non-living this means they need designing and planning because allowing things to happen randomly is not going to produce any results regardless of length of time. You can break a glass bottle and let the pieces lie on the ground they will never become a bottle again regardless how long they are left there. This is why saying Godless evolution is a fact is wrong. If God evolved things it still needs a lot of explanations eg what was purpose of God for creating things? How did he create them? How do they work to fulfil his objective etc etc? The idea of God can only be eliminated once we have better explanation than the one offered by the allegedly revealed scripture. However first we need to learn enough to understand this scripture that is said to be from God ie the Quran. I blame our human ignorance for lack of our understanding of the allegedly divine scripture because I have my reasons to believe so. For example, to begin with we humans depend upon external physical realities for learning by interacting with them directly. It is because our minds create images of things or models which we see eg as things are or as they interact with each other and so we try to figure them out. Through this learning process we learn simple reasoning which becomes more and more complex and sophisticated as we learn more and more. This is why those who have wider and deeper life experiences have better understanding of things than those who have narrow and shallow life experiences. This is why people with wider and deeper life experiences can easily see logical connections and disconnections between things. This helps people to see what goes together and what does not. This is how we gradually become rational thinkers. However to think about abstracts is still another world to learn about and anyone who is not good at learning about real world realities certainly cannot be good in learning about abstract realities because in that case one has to rely upon abstract ideas more and more to try and understand things. Let me try and explain this in another way. Let say a bike has broken down and we need to repair it. Since bike is basically a physical thing with almost all of its parts visible to us we can easily find most of the faults in it just by physical visual examination of it. The same cannot be said about a TV set when that breaks down. This time there are many more parts involved and a lot of components in it involve electricity which means electrons are not visible to us to see where they are going and how the fault is preventing them from working. It is easy for a mother to put on anti septic cream on the wound of her child when her child slightly injures himself showing a visible cut while playing in the playground, however if a person has internal pain due to something that has gone wrong inside then that cannot be easily diagnosed due to being invisible to the eye. So we can see how visible things help us learn about invisible things. Therefore first stage of learning is to learn about what is visible and within our reach. Without first going through this stage we cannot develop to go to the next stage of process of learning. This is why just because we have managed to understand a little bit about real world realities, it does not mean we can understand a scripture that is attributed to God. That is because to understand the scripture people need to especially prepare themselves as it needs a higher stage of learning by human beings to make sense of it. That is because it is word of God but in human language and the problem is in decoding it accordingly. Why do we need higher stage of learning to understand the scripture? It is because without scripture there is nothing to tell us with reasonable certainty regarding origin of the universe and ourselves, how things came to be what they are, what is purpose of all this and how things are supposed to work to fulfil any purpose if there is one. Such things are beyond our senses that is why the need for guidance from a higher being. However just because we can read a scripture, it does not mean we can understand it properly also or we can follow it faithfully as well. This needs knowledge about things that a scripture talks about otherwise we cannot understand it. What sense can a baby get when a politician starts talking to him about politics? Absolutely none. Since scripture is mainly for peace and harmony between people so that they could then together concentrate on higher objectives rather than fighting with each other and losing the sight of higher goals therefore it needs full attention for our proper understanding of it to benefit from it. This is why we cannot be right in dismissing things out of hand till we have done our bit properly regarding the scripture. Divine scriptures were not needed if we were already fully programmed like robots. Scriptures are needed because we have been programmed a bit and a bit we must program ourselves like self learning robots. In short God has designed us to find out God but by our own sense of creativity and effort. As for the objective of deen of islam, it is to fulfil the purpose for which Allah has created this universe and mankind in it. I have already explained in detail what that purpose is or why Allah bothered to create the universe and us human beings in it. Just to remind people, Allah created things because he being a living being decided to express his existence or presence and that he did by way of creation and revelation. Why revelation? Because he wanted to create a creature called human with a limited free will so that it could appreciate his existence and ability of creativity out of choice with a little helping hand from God himself through his guidance. To appreciate God to that degree humanity has to reach a level of knowledge all by itself to be able to understand the scripture properly because it has been created knowing nothing at all but with brains and senses and bodies that can help it achieve that objective with help of God's revelation. This is the starting point of deen of islam ie the purpose why God created things including human beings and why human beings have been left on their own by God to learn things by themselves through direct interaction with things after being created knowing nothing at all. This is why God advises a way of life for mankind that could help them fulfil the purpose for which God created human beings. This raises a question, what is deen of islam? It is a way of life which if understood properly and followed faithfully by mankind can lead them to blissful, dignified and secure life in this world and any effort by anyone made in that direction will be rewarded both in this life as well as in the life to come. Any people who will reject and oppose that way of life will end up in painful suffering in this life by hands of each other as well as in hereafter because whatever way of life people will invent and adopt by themselves will never lead them to blissful, dignified and secure existence instead it will always lead them into conflicts and wars with each other because no way of life people will ever be able to invent and follow that could be free of concept of personal gains at the expense of each other. This is why deen of islam will take over humanity in due course completely ie after a lot of conflicts and fights with each other people will gradually come to realise that they have no way of life to live by other than the way of life whereby they could live with each other as a united, peaceful, progressive and prosper human community ie an ummah. What is the way of life about whereby Allah wants people to live? It is about living for each other and not living at the expense of each other. It is because personal vested interests at the expense of each other lead people into all sorts of harmful and destructive divisions and conflicts with each other sooner or later. That is how comes about rivalry and animosity which leads to hatred between people and that turns into conflicts which lead to unending wars between people. Why must people live for each other? It is because they have been created to depend upon each other. Some have been created with much more advantages as compared to others only to work together as one single human family ie they have been created for purpose of complementing each other and not for taking undue advantages of each other. Why must anyone work for anyone else instead of oneself? It is because all human beings belong to God and everything also belongs to God so all things must be used according to his guidance so that his purpose could become fulfilled. If people will not do so then because all people are not created equal therefore those better off will try and take undue advantage of the disadvantaged and so the conflicts will start which cannot be ended till people do what God says ie use his provisions according to his wishes to ensure well being of all people. This is why in deen of Islam there is no right for anyone to rule over others or to buy or sell anything because nothing belongs to anyone to do so. People have right of use of things from God but only if they use them according to guidance of God not otherwise. This is why there is no ruling class or money lending business elite or priestly class in actual deen of Islam. All these are brought in by tricksters as tricks and mechanisms for using masses abusively by the cleverest among them. The objective of deen of Islam is very clear which is to unite mankind for their own good to ensure well being of mankind so that humanity could pay due attention to higher goals set for it by God to accomplish. Now when you want to unite people you not only need goals and guidelines but a program as well. This is why the Quran not only gives a program for accomplishing the stated goals but also guidelines for formation of a constitution and laws to go with it so that people could organise and regulate themselves as a proper human community according to them for accomplishing the stated objectives. This is why goals, guidelines, program, constitution and laws all have to be consistent with each other so that the whole thing could work like a machine. This is what deen of Islam basically is in a nut shell. All human ideologies are based upon pyramid scheme for power through manpower or wealth or fooling people in the name of God through various religions or variations of secularism which present a very odd and twisted concept about God over which people waste a lot of time in arguing with each other endlessly as is very much obvious throughout the world. 8] That is because We found round their necks yokes of heavy burdens right up to their chins so their heads are as if propped up therefore they cannot see the path they are treading, Word AGHLAALAA is from root GHAIN, LAAM and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is collars or something like collars in some sense. Also something that goes round the neck, fetters or shackles or necklace, something that goes round the neck tightly, something that squeezes the neck so tightly that it becomes difficult to swallow or to breath, something that goes round the neck to hold it up in a fix position so that it does not move about easily, extreme thirst, dire need, to bar or stop someone or something from drinking, treachery, animosity, hatred, to confiscate, to purloin, to yield, to produce, to earn, to defraud, to act unfaithfully, to tie up, to be shackled, to be entrapped, to be immobilised, bitterness, rancour, to be tight, to be niggardly, to be miser, to be covetous, to get into spaces between thing, water that runs from between the trees, something with which one is imprisoned or immobilised, to tie down, to deceive, to rip off, to solidify, to freeze, to become firm or stable, to settle down, to go in between, to pass through between two things, to break the trust, to keep something hidden, to be crushed under heavy burden, to break the chains to free the prisoners, to lead to mental or physical freedom, the imaginary chains or shackles people put around their necks themselves freely through personality cults, eye or something like an eye in some sense, watchtower, stiff neck, to stand tall, to spy, to keep an eye on something for some reason, to guard, water spring, new beginning, spring season, to support, pillar, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, a stick with a pointed or sharp end, a spear or an arrow, something that makes one do something etc etc. Word AZQAAN is from root ZAAL, QAAF and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is chin or something that has something to do with the chin. Also beard or face, to place hand under the chin as if to hold or prop or support it up, to hit on the chin or face, to annoy, to irritate, to provoke, to get in the way, to be troublesome, to be difficult, to cause hardship, to fall flat on the face, door or something like a door in some sense, something that has something to do with the door, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, something that has something to do with the monkey, fish or something like a fish in some sense, something that has something to do with the fish or ink etc etc. Word MUQMAHOON is from root QAAF, MEEM and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to twist the neck. Also to humble or force into submission, to refuse to drink, to drink one’s fill, those who raise their heads in refusal, to shun assistance or support, to decline to accept an offer, to shun guidance, those who cannot see, those who refuse to understand, refusal of a camel to drink at the waterhole by keeping its head high up in the air, to lift up one’s head while turning one’s eyes down, to look down upon, to disdain, to show contempt for something or someone, wheat or barley, barley beverage, parched barley meal, to lead a simple life, to be simple minded, ignorant or foolish, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, something that has something to do with monkey in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, something that has something to do with the water in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense, something that has something to do with the fence in some sense etc etc. It is of vital important that people watch where they are going in case they are heading for wrong destination or to see the path upon which they are walking in case they are on the wrong path to their destination or in case they are tripped by something on the road and they fall flat on their faces and do some damage to themselves instead of reaching their destination. On the way to unity, peace, progress and prosperity there are sideways or attractions that could take attention of people away from their common goals. This way they could end up in a trap of petty personal gains at the expense of each other and once people fall in that trap then coming out of that trap is not going to be easy or trouble free. Here one has to realise what happens when people become divided and rivalry and animosity takes over them and hatred settles in them and so wars become inevitable between them. All these things act as walls that are built and reinforced by people themselves round themselves from which they cannot escape after wards once they become entrapped. This is how people end up carrying heavy burdens. 9] Moreover We found a barrier in front of them and a barrier behind them as well as a covering over them therefore they cannot see the path We have advised for them. When a people do not develop importance of sense of purpose in their minds or lose sight of purpose then all else becomes useless for them because then they become totally blind and utterly deaf and dumb or useless people. It is because such people fail to learn from real world realities that are always right in front of them staring them in the face. The case is very same for them in case of historical evidences that are right behind them. It is because once a people ignore real world realities then historical realities do not matter for them either to learn from. In surah 103 Allah cites time as evidence, which means history of humanity to learn from ie how people lived blissful or disgraceful lives. The main thing is when a people ignore real world realities and historical evidences then revelation of Allah that comes from above means nothing at all for them. It is because when a people get involved with life in a wrong sort of way then nothing can save them from getting deeper and deeper into troublesome life. It is because such people think they know better or that they do not need to know anything other than what they already know. Since people who live for themselves at the expense of rest of humanity live for domination over others therefore their whole struggle is for undermining others and this takes over their minds so much so that they cannot accommodate anything other than that in their minds. When a people reach that state of mind it matters not whether anyone tries to bring them out of that state of mind or not they cannot come out of that state of mind. It is a state of mind like that of a drug addict who loses control over himself once drugs take over his mind. This is why it is very important that people never let their minds be taken over by wrong ideas or things otherwise meaningful life ends right there and then. 10] This is why it is the same whether you warn them or you warn them not about dangers along the journey of life because they have already decided not to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. To make a commitment to right sort of way of life is essential to begin with for anything better as outcome for one’s bright future. If one refuses that then nothing good can be expected of such a person because such a person whatever one thinks and does, will do it for his own personal gains at the expense of others. Such people not only ruin themselves but many others as well along the way. So people who do not learn from real world realities and historical accounts do not see any point in paying attention to revelations of God either therefore warnings serve no purpose for such people because early warnings only benefit those who realise their importance therefore become alert about the dangers along the way they are going. All this shows how important reading and writing is and how important education and training is. Because without having ability to gather all necessary information about things and being able to make proper sense of that information and without having necessary skills for putting it to proper use for achieving the end goal one remains unfulfilled like an empty barren land. This is why people must do something worthwhile with their lives for humanity in order to be proud of themselves and so that others also feel proud for having such people among them. 11] You can only alert those about dangers that face mankind regarding their future who adhere to this message because they pay proper attention to things the Master of the universe warns them about therefore deliver good news of blissful, dignified and secure future to such a people as are looking for a great outcome for their thoughts and actions for ensuring well being of each other based upon His guidance. This surah is taken by mullahs as a surah that is supposed to be read to people who are dying to make the death process easy for them. What a stupid bunch of people who take the life giving Quran for a joke. The Quran is not a book that brings death to nations but a book that promises them a great life if they understand it properly and follow it faithfully. As explained already word GHAIB is used in the Quran in sense of future results of thoughts and actions of people. A farmer buries seeds for crop in the field in hope that it will bring him greater return. This hope of greater return makes the farmer bury his seeds for the crop in the soil. Likewise people who accept the idea that their beneficial and constructive thoughts and actions will bring about a better world in the future do think and do things that ensure that. Those who think and do the opposite they too reap what they sow in time to come. A people who always keep in mind the outcome of their thoughts and action never deliberately think and do things which could lead them into troubles in time to come. All this is called faith in set up systems and laws of Allah due to which are delivered to people outcomes of their thoughts and actions. This is why in the Quranic context faith does not mean blind faith or make belief but a trust that develops over time due to life direct experiences. As explained already natural laws are those which are directly experienced phenomena eg we can see again and again that if we pour water on the floor, it flows downhill due to gravity. Fire produces heat and light or burns consumable things into ashes. If a stone is thrown into the air it falls back on the ground. This is why by knowing rules like these we can do a lot of things. It is our experience that crops grow in fields in their seasons so we simply follow rules or patterns to get the results we need or want. Likewise Allah has given us guidelines for rules for living our lives in this world so if we will come to know them properly and live by them faithfully then things we are promised as a results or outcomes will become a reality. Allah did not create people for making them fear him because he is not some kind of terrible monster but a compassionate being. The Quran begins with mentioning of his kind nature therefore nonsense and stupidity of mullahs should not be taken as message of the Quran. 12] It is because We surely resurrect and revive dead nations through Our scriptures in which is information about what is beneficial and constructive or what is harmful and destructive for them as well as accounts of thoughts and actions of the past generations of people as to what they did for their own future and what lessons they left behind for their coming generations. We have taken into account everything necessary for people to know in this book the Quran which is Our guidance distinctively manifest for the people of this era. Here the Quran is said to be the IMAAMIMMUBEEN ie a clear cut or distinct guide or set standard. Word IMAAM also means plumb line that is used for ensuing a wall is straight and upright so that it does not fall over due to being imbalanced. This is why there is no need for any personality cult in deen of Islam. Only those people can be an ummah who follow this imam in this era. No prophet or messenger of Allah can be an imam independent of guidance of Allah. So mullahs who quote things about people for showing deen of Islam is this or that are utterly wrong because if what is said about others is consistent with the Quran then it is already in the Quran but if it is not then that cannot be true due to contradicting the Quran. Even prophets of Allah could make mistake therefore the set standard is the revelation of Allah not people as explained already in detail. Of course people who do things which the revelations of Allah tell them are fine. This is how deen of Islam eliminates concept of personality cult yet mullahs have invented many personality cults and people being ignorant accept them as deen of Islam. There is not much difference between such people who claim to be Muslims and those whom they take for nonMuslims. The other point made here is that revelation of Allah brings people to life and helps them survive ie it is as life giving as water that rains down from the heaven. 13] So narrate to them the story of a people of a certain place to whom came Our messengers at a time. The surah before this talked about formations of messengers ie the way they were sent and here the Quran talks about one of those formations. Allah sent a party of three messengers to these people. The Quran in these verses also explains why messenger are sent by Allah to mankind ie to save them from being destroyed by hands of each other. 14] At first We sent to them two messengers but when they refused to accept them both, We strengthened them with a third one and they all said, surely we have been sent to you people as messengers by Allah. 15] But the people replied, you are just common men like us without any supernatural powers so how can you people be messengers from Allah? The Master of the universe has revealed nothing at all so you are surely lying when you claim you are His messengers to us. The point made here has been explained already in detail that it is rulers, money lenders and mullahs who invented and promoted idea of Godly sent people being supernatural human beings or people with supernatural powers who could do miraculous things. This they did to ensure ignorant people remained their slaves by waiting for people who never come. Mullahs are making fools of people even today by telling them about return of Jesus or other similar figures. The idea is to stop people from becoming revolutionaries for change for the better. This is why people wait for Allah to change things for them instead of people changing things for better for themselves. The fact is Allah only helps those who help themselves because Allah only changes things if people work for them not otherwise. 16] They said, Our Creator and Sustainer makes obvious through His message if you will care to examine the message that we for sure have been sent as His messengers to you There is no point in endless arguments between people when it comes to messages of Allah rather people are told clearly to educate and train themselves to the degree needed for proper understanding of the message of Allah and once people do that they will come to know by themselves for sure whether a message is from God or not. 17] and our duty is nothing less than conveying His message to you plainly and clearly. To deliver the message of Allah to mankind clearly is the main duty of messengers of Allah otherwise they could not be called messengers of Allah. However to accept or reject that message is between Allah and his human creatures. 18] The chiefs of the people replied, as we see it you have a harmful and destructive program against us so refrain from spreading your message or we will stone you to death or you will receive from us a humiliating painful torture. The message of God seems is a very bad news to those who are enemies of humanity ie rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters because they are abusive users of humanity for their own personal gains at their expense. However it is a message of blissful, dignified and secure existence for those who love working for ensuring well being of each other as a proper human community. 19] The messengers said, you yourselves are bad news for future of your own people due to your own harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours based upon your harmful and destructive ambitions and desires founded upon petty personal gains at the expense of each other. Are you people denying us the right to deliver the message of Allah to His human creatures because you are warned about outcome of your harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other? Surely you are a people who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for petty personal gains at the expense of each other. 20] At the time another man came running from the far end of the City and said, O my people, help and support these messengers who have been sent - for turning the proper way of life into an established reality. 21] Support the ones who do not seek to live by way of life based upon petty personal gains at the expense of each other due to which they seek no wage of you for educating you because they themselves are a properly guided people. People who work for God and humanity are defined in these verses ie they do not work for their personal gains at the expense of others. Not only that they also work very hard for educating people out of their ignorance seeking nothing in return other than goodwill between people themselves so that all could have a blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community. 22] It will not be a proper thing to do on my part if I do not abide by program, constitution and law of Allah who has originated and evolved me into what I am and to whose goals and guidelines you all should turn for your guidance. It makes no sense at all that one should live by rule of others than Allah because all other ways of life are based upon the idea of petty personal gains at the expense of each other so they have nothing good in them for humanity to adopt them. The only people who benefit from such ways of life are their inventers and promoters the rest of people suffer at their hands due to being foolish enough to trust such people. if a system is personal gains based at the expense of each other then how can such people do anything for anyone else without their own personal vested interest in it? 23] Why should I take any rulers other than Him when the fact is that if the Master of the universe leaves me exposed to harms and destructions without His guidance, their intervention can do nothing at all for me to save me from those harms and destructions that face me? 24] Therefore if I did take any rulers other than Him then I will be making a big mistake indeed in adopting a way of life that is full of harms and destructions for humanity by hands of each other. 25] This is why I am truly committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to guidance of your Creator and Sustainer therefore you people too should respond to my invitation to the way of life advised by Allah positively. 26] He was told by the messengers, you will surely enter the kingdom for blissful, dignified and secure existence provided you keep working hard for it. He said, I wish my people also come to know this truth for themselves which I came to know. 27] Such as how my Creator and Sustainer has granted me knowledge about blissful, dignified and secure existence that has helped me to become a reliable and trustable person. These verse make clear what deen of Islam actually is what is job of those people who claim to accept and follow it. It is basically an intellectual endeavour to satisfy one’s own mind first and then help others do the same. Once people of this nature come together they are to form an ummah that is properly organised and regulated to expand the same till there comes about a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. As for the rejecters and opponent of deen of Allah, they die their own death by hands of each other in due course unless they too repent and reform. 28] After granting that sort of people the kingdom based upon Our guidance We did not send any supernatural forces against his people, nor was it necessary for Us to do so. When a people understand guidance of Allah properly and follow it faithfully the promised results show up in due course. However when a people reject and oppose guidance of Allah then results of their thoughts and actions against each other are also delivered to them as made clear by Allah through his advance warnings. 29] It was nothing but a single mighty call for revolt in due course by some against the others and they became extinct as a nation. 30] What a bad news for My human creatures, all because whenever there came to them a messenger from Us they made fun of his message out of ignorance instead of taking it seriously and examining it with all due care after educating themselves to its required standard. 31] Do these people not see how many generations We left on their own to destroy themselves by hands of each other before them who just like these people refused to turn to Our guidance? 32] That is how each of those human populations were made to face Our set-up systems and laws. 33] The dead land should serve as a lesson for them to observe and learn from as to how We give it life and produce from it grain for them which they eat. 34] We also produce from it gardens with date-palms and vines and that is how We cause springs of water and prosperity to gush forth from it, 35] so that they may enjoy the fruits thereof. It was not in their power that they could have created all this, should they not then use all Our provisions properly as told by Us? 36] Because glory for humanity only rests in understanding properly and following faithfully the way of life advised by Him Who has originated and evolved to complement each other in different ways all kinds of living things which come forth from the earth including mankind themselves however about many of the things they have not yet become aware through their explorations and discoveries. This verse leaves one in no doubt that all kinds of living things including human beings were originated and evolved from the earth. Not only that but it also tells people there is a lot more out there in the world for people to discover which mankind have not yet explored but they will in time to come to benefit from all that. All this tells mankind to use things provided by God properly for ensuring well being of mankind and keep looking for ways to reach things not yet understood to further divine mission. The other point made in this verse and elsewhere is each and everything in this universe is linked together in some way to serve some purpose regardless we are aware of it or not. If things were not created in harmony to complement each other in the natural universe then the whole thing will have collapsed. Since it did not collapse and it works fine it therefore gives us a strong clue that it is all work of a one intelligent being. Things are so interdependent that nothing could come into existence without other things which brought it into existence nor anything could continue its existence without other things that help it continue its existence. The universe is full of galaxies, stars and planets and all play their assigned parts effectively to keep the universe going. Likewise here on the earth all things work together to make life possible for each other. The Quran repeatedly draws our attention to vegetations of all kinds, fruits of all kinds, animals of all kinds upon the back of which we humans came about and survive. We use so many things around us to do whatever we need or want to do. Likewise if people also lived in harmony by complementing each other then world is bound to become what the Quran wants us to make it ie a living paradise in this world. So why not try and understand the message of the Quran properly and then try our best to follow it faithfully and then see what it brings us in time to come. We have nothing to lose but everything to gain. 37] Another lesson for them to observe and learn from is the phenomenon of darkness of the night, We interrupt the daylight from a people and behold, they are left in the darkness of the night. Word NASLAKH is from root SEEN, LAAM and KHAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to take off. Also to pull off, to strip off, to strip off skin of an animal, coming off of the slough of a snake, shedding off of the dead skin cover of a snake or reptile, a state of deep despair or moral degradation, a slue or stagnant swamp or marsh or bog or pond, to discard or disregard something that is undesirable or unfavourable, to take off one’s clothes or dress, to work less intensely than required or desired, to take something off something in such a way that it leaved no clue at all as to what was there, to pass on or cause to pass on, to get rid of something from something, to separate two things from each other completely, to come off clean of something, to slip out of something without leaving any clue behind, to make obscure, to strip off the hide of an animal, to take flesh of the bone, to interrupt something in some way, to leave something in its original state, to extricate, to pass away or depart or shift, to move something away from something in some way, to withdraw or remove, to peel off, to strip away or take away, to become detached, to cast off, to abandon, to turn something away from something for some reason, to slide off cover of something, to forsake, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, something that has something to do with a tooth in some way, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, something that has something to do with an ox-goad in some way, fence or something like a fence in some sense, something that has something to do with a fence in some way etc etc. Just for reminder many verses in the Quran have parallel complementary meanings as well. The Quran mostly uses farming language about people as well eg successful people in the world are likened to a good crop in a field. The gardens in hereafter are likened to gardens in this world etc etc. All this because unless hidden realities were linked to realities in this world that are obvious to people they could not understand them as explained in detail already. Bright days are likened to prosperity and dark days are likened to days of famine or disasters etc. Knowledge is likened to light and ignorance is likened to darkness. It is far too much work any individual to explain each and every verse of the Quran from each and every angle. This is why people need to study the Quran themselves for discovering it rather than relying only on others. This work on the Quran is supposed to be used for knowing how to study the Quran because it does not go as far as it should due to my own limitations. If people began their studies of the Quran from this work then they could help take it further from where it is. The Quran is not a book that should be read repeatedly without understanding it just for sake of it as mullahs tell us rather it should be read to make better and better sense of what it contains in its pages. This is not possible to do for people who blindly follow instructions of mullahs as deen of Islam because mullahs have no idea what the Quran actually contains. This should be obvious to anyone who has a bit of knowledge and has gone through some works of some mullahs. If anything tafaseer or explanations of the Quran by mullahs are nothing more than nonsense which are creating problems even for Muslims because nonMuslims raise many objections against the Quran and deen of Islam due to them. 38] Likewise they should observe to learn from the working of the sun that it travels towards its set destination, this destination is programmed in it by the mighty wise ruler of this universe who makes things obvious for people to know. In this verse Allah is telling people that each and every atom and its sub atomic particles are fully programmed by Allah to do things they are suppose to do and Allah makes this obvious for people to observe and learn from. Such verses are repeated in the Quran to ensure people do pay attention to them and do what they are told ie observe things with care and learn lessons from them and then do things which help humanity expand its capacity to further the goals which Allah has set for it. 39] Similarly they should observe to learn from the fact that We have setup phases for the moon till it turns in to a phase when it looks like a bow shaped old dry branch of a palm tree. Word AAD is from root AIN, WOW and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to go back to same state or thing. Also to rescind, to accrue, to be accustomed, to repeat, to be experienced, to change, to visit, to return, to go back to previous or earlier state, to become, to turn into, to bring back, to restore, to send back, to reproduce, anniversary, feast day, appointed time or place, habits, stick or pole, branch of a tree, an Arab tribe that descends from Shem, the Eid day, eye or something like an eye in some sense, something that has something to do with the eye in some way, hook or something like a hook in some sense, something that has something to do with a hook in some way, door or something like a door in some sense, something that has something to do with a door in some way etc etc. Word URJOON is from root AIN, RAA, JEEM and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is a bent date palm stalk or something like a bent date-palm stalk. Also something that has something to do with a bent date-palm stalk, any type of truffle, dry date-palm stalks, a crescent, a knife or sword shaped like the moon crescent, a bow shaped branch of a tree, a watchtower, to spy, to guard, to stand tall, to control, to be beautiful, to be lively, eye or something like an eye in some sense, something that has something to do with the eye, head or something like a head in some sense, something that has something to do with the head in some sense, camel or something like a camel in some sense, something that has something to do with the camel in some sense, fish or ink or something like a fish or sink in some sense, something that has something to do with the fish or ink in some sense etc etc. 40] It is not part of the program that the sun should crash in to the moon nor for the night time to clash with day time because each of the things is set to work in harmony with the rest according to set measures for it. In these verses Allah explains how he has organised and regulated the universe and things in it so that the universe does not end up destroyed due to undue clashes between things in it. It is because each has its own sphere, work zone or area of jurisdiction assigned to it. Therefore these things are evidences that if people also did the same then they too will save themselves from lots of troubles and will be able to accomplish a lot more as a proper human community than they otherwise will. The Quran repeatedly tells people to observe things in the natural universe to learn things about things and then go ahead and accomplish a lot more for the good of themselves as a proper human community. 41] Another lesson for them to observe and learn from is how We set-up the process of their reproduction and burdened them with responsibility for having and bringing up children for continuation of their species Word MASH-HOON is from root SHEEN, HAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is to equip something for its purpose. Also to prepare or make ready, to fill something up with something, to provide something with all it needs for some purpose, fodder for animals, food for nourishment of body or mind, to provide with means of survival to ensure continuation of something, to rebuke, to condemn, to distance oneself from something for some reason, to be at a distance from something in some sense, generation gap, the time gap between successive generations, something remotely connected to something in some sense, to drive, to drive away, to cast away, to let go, to bear rancour, to quarrel, garrison, troops, laden, full, overloaded, a fully equipped army ready for battle, to have ability to have and raise children, to have ability to think and do something properly, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, something that has something to do with teeth in some way, fence or something like a fence in some sense, something that has something to do with a wall or fence in some way, fish or ink or something like a fish or ink in some sense, something that has something to do with fish or ink in some way etc etc. 42] and similarly we setup reproduction of other things upon which they depend for their survival such as vegetation and animals. As explained already verses like this tell mankind to observe creatures of Allah and copy them and surpass them in doing things because mankind are created for accomplishing higher goals that were beyond peoples’ own imagination at any given time in any given place. The potential placed in mankind is hidden from humanity itself and becomes manifest in due course as time goes on. Just as there come about new generations of people so there come about new generations of plants and animals and so life carries on without any interruption giving people opportunities to prove themselves as top creatures of God and thereby manifest glory of God in its true and proper sense. 43] But instead of doing all this had We planned, We could have left them utterly to themselves to destroy themselves without Our guidance to help them, in that case they could have cried all they liked for Our help but none could save them from destroying each other, Had Allah not set-up the universe and things in it the way he has for his own purpose and had he not provided them with his guidance for clarifying to them his purpose and the working of the universe and the role of people in there then they will have been left in the dark in their ignorance knowing not which way to go and all their crying and seeking help of God will have fallen upon deaf ears. In other words not accepting the purpose of origin of the universe turns life into an aimless adventure. In that case life could have no meaning whatsoever. It will be nothing more than misadventures by those advantaged against those who are relatively disadvantaged. The world on that basis will have turned into a lawless jungle where people will have been as good as other animals. So people are invited to think about the kind of life in this world will have come about if God did not bother with caring of this universe and things in it. The human history is full of terrible things people have been doing to each other due to their ignorance about guidance of Allah despite guidance of Allah being there for them but things could have been much worse had guidance of Allah not been there at all. 44] nonetheless it is guidance from Us for their blissful, dignified and secure existence that determines the term of their survival for a time. It all depends upon how much of divine guidance mankind follow within a given time period. Human life span depends upon discoveries of humanity itself through exploration of things. This is why as people have discovered various medical cures their average life span has increased in due course. No doubt that divine program therefore can help mankind increase their life span provided they keep following it faithfully. 45] Despite all this explanation when it is said to them, be consistent with the way of life advised by Allah for ensuring the well being of mankind by studying things right before your very eyes as well as by studying things that were done by people in the past so that you could reach blissful, dignified and secure existence, they reject and oppose the invitation. 46] In fact not a goal or guideline comes to them from their Creator and Sustainer but they turn away from it following their own personal harmful and destructive ambitions and desires based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. 47] Therefore whenever it is said to them, use whatever Allah has provided you the people to benefit each other. Those dominant people who oppose Our guidance say to those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, should we feed those whom Allah Himself could have fed had He chosen to do so? Therefore you people are obviously in serious error in promoting the way of life based upon community spirit of caring and sharing. This verse tells us very clearly that religious beliefs are false because religious people believe that richness and poverty is set by Allah and it has nothing to do with what people think and do to each other. On the contrary Allah tells mankind that he has provided them with abilities and things to produce and distribute things according to his given program, constitution and law. There cannot be a brotherhood of humanity if some people try to be masters of others by controlling their livelihood. The Quran repeatedly condemns individuals who live on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other instead of life based upon concept of a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah. In other words humanity is driven by fear, thirst, hunger and reproduction etc so if a society fails to provide for such needs of its individuals then it cannot be free of troubles and is bound to perish if it fails to prepare itself. This is why religious beliefs and rituals are utterly useless in this fundamental respect but capitalism is not the viable alternative either. So the Quranic solution to such problem is the only solution on the table but humanity has not yet reached the level of learning needed to realise this fact. 48] Yet they ask, when will this promise of yours about kingdom of Allah for you and upheaval for us will come to pass if what you say is true? 49] The fact is, these harmful and destructive leaders and supporters are waiting for nothing other than a single powerful call for revolt by the masses against them that catches them suddenly by surprise while they are involved in a power struggle between themselves. Word YAKHISSIMOON is from root KHAA, SWAAD and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is opposite side of a cloud. Also opposite corners or sides or edges of a sack or bag or an envelope, opposite side handles of a pot for carrying it, opposition or opponent, to discuss or debate or argue from opposite sides or positions, to dispute, to quarrel, to fight, to defeat, to overcome, to be victorious, to triumph over, antagonists, opposing individuals or parties, defendant, to claim, to accuse, to make an allegation, to disagree, to contend, to recriminate, to make counter claim or allegation or accusation, mutual recrimination, to be involved in power struggle, disputants, litigants, adversaries, a contumacious or contentious person, a troublesome person, a trouble maker, a person given to trouble making, advocate, promoter of an issue or cause, one given to antagonism, a person given to animosity or rivalry, edge of something, mouth of a valley, a region or an area, an aspect of something, a point of view, an angle of looking at something, fence or something like a fence in some sense, something that has something to do with a fence or wall in some way, plant or tree or something like a plant or tree in some sense, something that has something to do with a tree or plant in some way, water or something like water in some sense, something that has something to do with water in some way etc etc. 50] However when that happens then they will not be given time to make any future plan for themselves to continue their hold on power nor will they be able to get backing even of their own supporters. 51] Because the call will breathe new life into masses and they will come out of their places of isolation to support the mission of their Creator and Sustainer. Word AJDAAS is from root JEEM, DAAL and SAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to seclude. Also to isolate, to place into solitary confinement, to put in a grave, to put one in a place on one’s own, a grave, a secret chamber, a secret meeting place, a prison cell, a very narrow place, a place where only certain people are allowed to meet, a secure place, to live away from main township in isolation, to live cut off from rest of society or community or population, an unmarked grave or chamber, to make or prepare a grave, solitary compartment or quarter, sound of feet of a walking camel, a very light beat or noise of something walking softly, a noise made by soft footfall, a slight disturbance, a place difficult to identify or spot, camel or something like a camel in some sense, something that has something to do with a camel in some sense, door or something like a door in some sense, something that has something to do with a door in some way, womb or something like a womb in some sense, something that has something to do with a womb in some way etc etc. When things start getting bad in a proper human community relationships between people start falling apart and gradually they reach a stage whereat people start living in isolation from each other due to committing atrocities against each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. This situation continues growing till most of the people get fed up with this kind of life and start a movement against this kind of way of life in order to change things for the better. This is how bloody revolutions are triggered and things are turned upside down in kingdoms wherein people live like animals. It is also possible that such a situation may also trigger a movement by missionaries of deen of Allah but in each case the outcome will be very different as already explained in detail. 52] The chiefs will say, O what a bad news for our future but who has disturbed or turned upside down our plan? They will be told by Our missionaries, this is what the Master of the universe promised through His messengers so the words delivered by the messengers have come to pass. The rulers, money lenders and mullahs are always busy making future plans for holding onto power so they work on their plots and schemes in secret chambers or places wherein they are not disturbed by those against whom they cook their conspiracies. However some things happen suddenly when triggering is provided for them. When rulers, money lenders and mullahs take things to their extremes then only a little more could trigger bloody uprising against them and within a very short time things are turned upside down for them by the angry mob. They do not stop till they get what they want and the way they want it. In that situation dominant people lose their minds because they are no longer in control of things. Something they thought could never happen takes place right before their very eyes and they look on in horror. This is how such people lose goodwill of people as well as suffer their anger because now angry people take out their frustration on them. Missionaries only remind these people what they were warned against but they refused to listen so things come to pass. It is also possible that once a bloody revolution starts it ends up uprooting the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other replacing it with the way of life advised by Allah. In that case legal trials could begin for those who have been ruling masses with iron fist to use them abusively. 53] It will be no more than a single call for revolt and then they all will be made to face the consequences of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other by Our set-up systems and laws. It depends on whether revolution is merely a bloody revolution or a revolution for replacing the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other with a way of life advised by Allah. Each has its own way of dealing with people both leaders and supporters who have committed atrocities against each other. One is based upon set-up systems and laws of nature and the other is based upon program, constitution and law of Allah that is implemented by administration of the kingdom of God. However in the end a kingdom of God will become established due to hard work of missionaries because they will be able to convince masses by then that living by rule of law of Allah is the only way to unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. 54] At that time no people will suffer injustice even in the least so you all will face the outcome only for what you would have done. 55] At that time the people who will have truly worked for establishing a kingdom based upon Our guidance for blissful, dignified and secure life will enjoy themselves, Word SHUGHUL is from root SHEEN, GHAIN and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to be engaged in doing something. Also to be busy, to have no free time, to be busy in doing something which leaves one no time to think or do something else, to become deeply involved in something in some sense, to remain engaged in doing one thing or another, to be busy in doing something one enjoys doing, to occupy, to employ, to make bury, engagement, toil, occupation, concern, to divert, to occupy a place, to preoccupy, to distract, business, work or job or task, employment, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, something that has something to do with a tooth in some way, eye or something like an eye in some sense, something that has something to do with an eye in some way, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, something that has something to do with an ox-goad in some way etc etc. Word FAAKIHOON is from root FAA, KAAF and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to produce plenty of all kinds of fruits. Also to produce plenty of milk, to be of happy character, to have smile on the face at all times, to have plenty of nice things to say about something or someone, to live a life of luxuries, to have a sense of humour, to be master of sweet talk, to joke, to jest, to be kindly, to enjoy something, to be regretful, to mock, to wonder, to muse, to be gripped by remorse, to be shocked, to wail, to be free from strain, to exult or be exulted, to rejoice above measure, to be cheerful, to enjoy good living, to enjoy fruits or fruits of one’s labour, to show surprise at something, to be arrogant, to be boastful, to show off, to show excessive undue pride, to be extravagant, to walk with pride, mouth or something like a mouth in some sense, something that has something to do with mouth, palm of the hand or something like the palm of the hand in some sense, something that has something to do with palm of the hand in some sense, window or something like a window in some sense, something that has something to do with a window in some sense etc etc. Although very hard work is required for bringing about and maintaining a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah but due to all people working as one to the best of their abilities none of them will feel over burdened or tired due to having full support and backing of each other. People only feel over burdened or tired or bored when they have to do something unwillingly due to being forced into doing something. People who do things out of awareness of its need or sense of responsibility or its outcome etc do not get overwhelmed by their work. In other words there are things people enjoy doing rather than sitting idle or wasting time. For such people time passes without being noticed. This is why such a human community is an ideal human society. 56] they and their fellow workers will be shielded from all sorts of troubles between themselves by Our advised way of life which will raise them to blissful life of dignity and security. Word MUTTAKIOON is from root WOW, KAAF and ALIF. Concrete meaning of this root is something that gives support to something in some way. Also walking stick that helps a person to walk, food that helps a person survive, nourishment, a seat that helps one sit down, bed that helps one lie down, throne that helps one run a kingdom, a stick or staff that helps one gather one’s flock, a couch, a banquet, power, authority, to lean, to recline, to tie up, to tighten up, to sit, someone who relies on something for some reason, guidance from God upon which people should rely, hook or something like a hook in some sense, something that has something to do with a hook in some way, palm of hand or something like the palm of the hand in some sense, something that has something to do with palm of the hand in some way, stick or something like a stick in some sense, something that has something to do with a stick in some sense etc etc. 57] For them therein will be all kinds of fruits of their labours because they will get in there whatever they will work for as a proper human community based upon Our guidance. In verses like this the Quran tells mankind there is no such thing as free lunch. Paradise is not what religions promote that is just fooling the masses that no matter how they live in this world they will get into paradise in the next simply by uttering some magic words. The Quran tells people very clearly that if they will not work for betterment of mankind in present life then future life will be even worse for them. A totally opposite view point to religions. A clear indication that religions were reinvented on behest of rulers and money lenders by mullahs to fool masses to open them up to abusive use by rulers, money lenders and mullahs by giving them false hopes about life in here as well as in hereafter. 58] There will be unity, peace, progress and prosperity for mankind everywhere in the kingdom as promised by the Creator and Sustainer of the universe through His revelation that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence. 59] However people who will continue committing crimes against humanity will be told on Our behalf by missionaries, keep yourselves away from this kingdom today O you the criminals, Word IMTAAZOO is from root MEEM, YAA and ZAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to sort out. Also to separate, to distance, to mark out, to distinguish, to weed out, to stand out, to fall apart, to fall into factions, to discriminate, to split up, to tear up, to burst, to open up things, to create a gap between things, to make a space between things, to put aside, to stand aside, to move out of the way, to separate alike things into groups for some purpose, to burst into ager, to show outrage at something unpleasant that provokes anger, to protest angrily at something, to rebuke someone for doing some wrong, water or something like water in some sense, something that has something to do with water in some way, hand or something like a hand in some sense, something that has something to do with a hand in some way, tool or weapon or something like a tool or weapon in some sense, something that has something to do with tool or weapon in some sense etc etc. 60] did I not exact an agreement of you, O children of Adam that you should never take for a ruler anyone who tells you to inflicts harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other because any such ruler will prove to be an enemy of humanity? Masses are repeatedly warned by Allah to not to choose or let such people be their rulers or leaders who oppose guidance of Allah because any way of life they will invent or impose upon people will lead them to their own destruction due to being based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. The way of life advised by Allah tells people to become a proper human community on basis of caring for each other though sharing what Allah has provided for them. 61] Therefore you should abide only and only by My rule of law because it can lead mankind to a blissful, dignified and secure existence because it is a firmly founded or verifiably true way of life for this purpose. 62] Yet despite My warning the harmful and destructive political, economic and religious leadership has led a great number of you away from My advised path, why did you people not bother to learn even this much sense to become aware of this happening? 63] For this reason you ended up in life of hell of your own making against which you were repeatedly warned. Any people who play dumb with message of Allah will face exactly the same situation and that is why this ummah is in deep trouble due to lacking proper understanding about concepts of deen of Islam eg regarding God, his messengers, his books and many other things explained in this explanation of the Quran. 64] So you can continue staying in that sort of state of existence even today if that is what you want because you have been persistently rejecting and opposing Our guidance that was supposed to lead you to blissful, dignified and secure existence. 65] At that time We will completely shut their mouths about their ideologies and ways of life for living their lives because the manpower they had and the foundation upon which they built their lives will expose them completely before Our set-up systems and laws due to outcome of all that they will have done to reach that state of existence. Here Allah is telling us that a time will come when people who reject and oppose his advised way of life will become totally lost for arguments or words against it. They will have no idea what to say or do to justify their ideologies and their invented and adopted ways of life which will eventually lead them into that terrible state of existence. It is because the clear trace of evidences which they will have left behind will clearly show they have been on the wrong path all along. In short they will be dumb founded by the results or outcomes of their own thoughts and actions against each other. 66] Why don’t they think that had it suited Our purpose and plan, We could have taken away their light and sight leaving them in utter darkness running about looking for the right way to the proper destination for them but then how could they find the proper way to their proper destination assigned for them without being able to see due to lack of light and sight? Word TAMAS is from root TWAA, MEEM and SEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is to obliterate. Also to destroy, to annihilate, to wipe out, to rub out, to not to leave a trace of something, to take something away in such a way that no clue is left behind, to cause to be blind either by lack of sight or light, to cause to be without eyes, to become blind due to rage, to become blind with arrogance or pride or sense of dominance, to lose sight of something for some reason, to become blind due to being overcome by emotions, to lose sense of direction, to have no sense, to fail to use sense, to develop some kind of defect in the eye on the face or in the eye of mind, to make something vanish or disappear, to take away the physical light or the light of knowledge, to plunge into the darkness by taking away light or sight or both, to raise to the ground, to make light of knowledge disappear, to cause the light of the day to disappear, to eliminate light or sight, to be effaced, to blot out, to go far, to disappear in the distance, to take to account, to reckon, to call to account, to hold someone liable or responsible for something, to make someone face the consequences of one’s thoughts or actions, to fill in, to deprive someone of guidance, to render ineffective or useless, to reverse, to turn something back to front, to turn something upside down, to cause light or sight or wit to become dim, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, something that has something to do with landmark in some way, water or something like water in some sense, something that has something to do with water in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, something that has something to do with a tooth in some sense etc etc. Allah wants people to imagine this world without his light of guidance or people having no brains to benefit from that guidance. He likens it with light of the day and the sight of the eye. Both are vital for people ie to have a purpose or destination and the way to get there along with all due necessities because if any of the essentials are missing things do not work so the whole things fails or falls apart. So rather than people imposing their will on God it is important that they understand properly what God explains about things. Only iof explanation of God is found flawed then people can have there way. The Quran challenges humanity that they can never find any such flaw in the Quran ever. It is a book that is purposefully perfect for guidance of mankind. 67] And had it suited Our purpose and plan, We could have bound them by a fixed program like nonliving things then they could not have the ability to deviate from that. Word MASAKH is from root MEEM, SEEN and KHAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to make something to be in a particular way. Also to transform, to program, to distort, to transmute, to cause to become an ugly shape or character, to disfigure, tasteless food, a plain person, to wear an animal thin due to too much work, to change the nature of something in some way, to make something turn ugly or nasty, to change something in some way for the worse, to downgrade something in some sense, to change something in position or power or ability or rank, to degrade, to make something less worthy or less useful or less valuable, a stupid or foolish or ugly person, a weak or unstable person, a tasteless piece of meat, a food that has no salt or flavour or colour or taste or smell, a horse with a defective leg muscle due to which in can no longer walk or run properly, water or something like water in some sense, something that has something to do with water in some sense, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, something that has something to do with the tooth in some sense, fence or wall or something that is like a fence or wall in some sense, something that has something to do with the fence or wall in some sense etc etc. Word MUDIYAA is from root MEEM, DWAAD and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to become fixed in some sense. Also to die, to go, to leave, to depart, to pass, to pass through, to continue, to go by, to execute a task, to expire, to be sharp, to come to pass, to complete a deal or objective, to keep going, to spend, to pass by, to become a norm, to become established, to proceed, to move forward, to go on, to advance, lion, sword, tradition, historical events or accounts, to one way or the other way, to go back and forth, to go to and fro, to become agitated or disturbed, to deviate, to go off the track, to move off the track to one side or the other, to do something not allowed but not to do what is required, something daring, water or something like water in some sense, plant or something like a plant in some sense, hand or something like a hand in some sense etc etc. This verse is telling us that Allah could have programmed people fully like fully programmed robots just like other existing things but he did not because it did not suit his purpose and planning for which he created the universe and things in it and the mankind. It is because mankind were created in a way that served his purpose just as other things are created to suit his purpose that is why he sent his guidance for them after giving them ability to choose what to believe or do. So people should use their ability of choice sensibly and not for harming and destroying each other for petty personal gains at the expense of each other. Why Allah created people has been explained in detail already. 68] However any human being We bring about and maintain We bring him about lacking in knowledge about Our advised way of life to live in this world properly so that one educates and trains oneself with help of Our guidance to be able to do so, so why don’t you people use your intelligence to become aware of this fact? Word NUNAKKISUH is from root NOON, KAAF and SEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is to reverse. Also to turn upside down, to turn down, to hang one’s head in shame, to be weak, to be in simple state of existence, to relapse, to degenerate, to be or become defective or faulty, to be or become imperfect or incomplete, to lack in something is necessary, to revert, to go back to original state, to bend down, to decline, to fall down, to become lower in some sense, to show reluctance or resistance or hesitation, to become limited in some sense, to collapse, to fall on one’s head, horses that lower their necks and heads when walking due to becoming weak or tired, to rise and then fall back to original level in some sense, to grow in strength to the full but then start declining in strength due to old age, to grow in knowledge to the full but then start forgetting things due to old age and loss of memory, rise and fall of nations, fish or ink or something like a fish or ink in some sense, something that has something to do with fish or ink in some way, palm of the hand or something like the palm of the hand in some sense, something that has something to do with the palm of the hand in some way, tooth or something like a tooth in some sense, something that has something to do with a tooth in some way etc etc. 69] This is why We have not programmed Our advised way of life into him because it did not suit Our purpose for his creation and that is why there was need for revelation of this Quran which makes Our advised way of life for mankind clearly distinct from the way of life people have invented and adopted themselves that leads them to harms and destructions by hands of each other for personal gains at the expense of each other Another clear proof that divine messengers did not come to teach people blind faith in make beliefs and to make them carry out useless rituals. They came for a set purpose to guide mankind to better life through hard works in an organised and regulated manner for a particular end goal as explained in detail already. 70] to make aware such people as are already looking for Our guidance and to prove this verifiably true message of Ours to those who reject and oppose it due to their ignorance based arrogance. 71] Why don’t they observe to learn from the fact that among other things which We have originated and evolved through Our power of creativity We have also created cattle which are under their management? It is very wrong things to do to translate word MAALIKOON here as ownership because the Quran denies ownership of anything by anyone other than God. Root MEEM, LAAM and KAAF also means management not just ownership or kingship. If the Quran repeatedly tells us the king of this universe is Allah alone then only a stupid person can accept rule of anyone other than Allah. This how mullahs misinterpreted and misrepresented the message of the Quran and that is how this ummah was misled by them. Just because the same words are used by Allah for himself and others does not mean they mean same thing for all rather each context needs to be taken into account to avoid any confusion. 72] We have subjected these animals to their management so that they could learn to survive through them and make proper use of them, Allah has created all things for mankind to learn from and make use of them properly. The main thing is to observe and experiment on animals etc in a sensible way to further human progress through proper understanding of things. 73] in them there are many benefits for them whereby they can quench their thirst of knowledge, so why don’t they make proper use of them? 74] Despite all this explanation they have taken for rulers other than Allah in hope of getting their help and support. 75] But the fact is, these rulers are not capable of helping them against Our set-up systems and laws rather they and their supporters are bound by Our set-up systems and laws that make them face the results of their own thoughts and actions against each other. Word MUHDAROON is from root HAA, DWAAD and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to be present. Also to be in a place at a time as a physical reality, to be consistent or constant, to not to be absent or inconsistent, to come to, to reach, to arrive or arrive at, to make something reach or arrive at, to cause harm or inflict damage, to be resident in a township, to live by the river, to live near a fresh water source, urban areas, a community settled around a water source, to be at home, to settle down adjacent to water, to bring or fetch, to lie down dying, to attend, to witness, to approach, to come to, to put forward, to bring or bring about, to submit, to be close at hand, to be ready, to be current, to be in hand, to reside, to be handed over, to be taken, to take in turns, that which is attended or witnessed, bordering on, hardship, strife, fence or wall or something like a fence or wall in some sense, something that has something to do with a fence or wall in some sense, plant or tree or something like a plant or tree in some sense, something that has something to do with a tree or plant in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, something that has something to do with a head in some sense etc etc. 76] Therefore let not their harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours grieve you O messenger. Surely We make obvious to mankind in due course the results of how they use Our provided capabilities and things and how they do not use Our provided capabilities and things. People have been granted capabilities or potentials for accomplishing great tasks along with guidance and all that they will ever need so they are left free to do as they please and face the consequences. However if one person will do bad to another then the other will also be forced to react and the result could be bad for both of them or at least one of them and that sets back humanity from moving forward full speed ahead as already explained in detail. This is why people need to realise the fact that they cannot progress and prosper as they should if they do not learn to get on with each other as they should as a brotherhood of humanity. Whatever harmful or destructive motives people harbour in their minds against each other are bound to materialise in due course and that will expose them to each other so it is not good for them to say one thing and do another to each other in order to gain personally at the expense of each other. 77] Why don’t mankind observe and learn from the fact that We have evolved them from a single living seed? Yet man rises to openly challenge Our right of ruling the kingdom of the universe. 78] He creates nonsense arguments and stories about explaining Our existence and purpose of Our creating this universe yet neglects story of his own origin and purpose as explained by Us. He says, who will raise again the proper social structures and institutions for a proper human community that have fallen apart completely? Word RAMEEM is from roots RAA, MEEM and MEEM and RAA, MEEM and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is to mend. Also to repair or put something broken together again, to patch up, to make up, to make something workable again after it has broken down, to decay, to decompose, to fall apart, animal halter, decayed remnant, rotten and decayed bones, pomegranate, something that has many components that work together to make it work, a machine with different components, a system or mechanism that has different parts to make it work, something worn out, something old, a chronic disease or fault, to bring something back to life, to mend a human society or community, to eat away something completely, an old piece of rope, old plants, dead trees, froth, scum that rises on surface of water, scum that floats on the water surface, to mend old or broken things, to stay quiet, to remain silent, to talk or speak up, to turn something into powder, head or something like a head in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. As explained already humanity cannot disprove existence of its creator no matter what in order to escape the rule of Allah. Also even if people do not follow divine guidance they only stand to lose themselves as has been explained in the Quran in detail. Just by assuming there is no God, does not change much for mankind if they are not going to bother with what he actually teaches them. It is because staying ignorant of his scripture has same result as not believing in existence of God at the end of the day. 79] Say to them, He Who brought them about the very first time will bring them back to life again as He makes it obvious to mankind through His power of all kinds of creation and revelation. As explained already the Quran contains many verses with complementary parallel meanings which are also very to understand in order to have better understanding of the Quranic text and message. Such verses not only tell us about revival of proper human community in this life in this world but also about resurrection of mankind in here after. 80] He Who has produced a plan for you a war torn human population to turn you into a brilliant human community so that in due course on that basis you could bring about your own brilliant communities. Word SHAJARAH is from root SHEEN, JEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is tree or something that resembles a tree in some sense. Also something that has a root and a trunk as well as braches, a constitution that has a set of aims and objectives and rules and regulations as well as detail of organisational systems, structures, procedures and practices, a family tree or a piece of information laid out in form of a table that explains something in some respects, a human population members of which go their separate ways due to some difference or dispute or quarrel, bush or plants in general, stock, origin, to branch off, to intertwine, to become knit together, to raise, to fall into dispute, to contend, to erupt, to arise, to flare up, to reproduce, to grow, to prosper, to spread, to grow tall or go higher, to spew forth, to become convoluted, something that resembles a tree in form especially a diagram or arrangement that has branches showing relationships of hierarchy or lineage, a structure for organizing or classifying data in which every item can be traced to a single origin through a unique path, discord, tension, lack of agreement, disagreement, dissension, strife, rivalry, infighting, break up, unity, harmony, coordination, cooperation, to gather together or to disperse, to merge or separate, to converge or diverge, fighting of troops in the battlefield, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, something that has something to do with teeth in some sense, camel or something like a camel in some sense, something that has something to do with the camel in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, something that has something to do with the head in some sense etc etc. Word AKHDAR is from root KHAA, DWAAD and RAA.

Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 37 AL-SAFFAAT- A people who organise and regulate themselves properly to fulfil assigned mission of Allah for ensuring well being of mankind as a proper human community in a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah
This surah is named AL-SAAFAAT from root SWAD, FAA and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to organise and regulate properly for some purpose. Also to make arrangements or preparations for some end, to arrange in a row, to organise in steps, to put or set-up things in an orderly manner for some purpose, to stand in a straight line or row, to organise or arrange in ranks or steps or in order for some end goal or purpose, to line up, an even surface of the ground that is free of dunes and ditches, a people who stand united without any divisions between them, a row of trees or plants or things, the spreading of wings by birds in flight in a straight line, to stand ready for the battle in the battlefield in a row, a row of camels, rows of parties arranged in ranks for some reason, an area of even ground that is clear of any obstacles or growth, veranda of the house, battlefield, arena, an enclosed area for presentation of events, a place where forces contend or battle for their causes, a sphere or scene of conflict or intense activity or debate, to sit side by side, to line up, line or row or rank, to glide, tree or plant or something like a tree or plant in some sense, something that has something to do with a tree or a plant in some sense, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, something that has something to do with the mouth in some sense etc etc. This surah is named AL-SAAFAAT because it talks about a people who struggled for bringing about a proper human community that lived by a single standard as set by Allah. These people neither lived by different standards among themselves nor adulterated the message of Allah with their own nonsense like others who rejected and opposed the message of Allah. This whole surah is therefore dedicated to such people just as previous surah was dedicated to the final messenger. It leaves no room for doubt as to definition of which people have right to claim as people of Allah. In other words this surah explained to the final messenger what kind of party he needs to raise if he wants to establish divine kingdom for mankind to live in peace and harmony and progress and prosper. In fact this surah is a lesson for this ummah that if you want to bring about rule of law of Allah in the world for mankind to live by then you cannot afford to be lazy and crazy or stupid and stubborn people because the Quranic message is all about humanity working for itself towards bringing about a beautiful world for themselves. A clear proof what Islam is really about and that mullah based religion has no place in teachings of the Quran. Deen of Islam is not about putting oneself first and one's own relatives and friends first because that is a recipe for personal gains at the expense of each other which breaks up people along their chosen fault line eg this fault line based on tribal me and mine separates people into tribes, clans, families and individuals on that basis. This is why if people live by such a rule then they can never be an ummah for as long as they hold on to this idea as the basis for living their lives. To be a Muslim ummah relatives and strangers all will have to be one and the same people only and only on that basis because that is the only way a people can lock into each other as an ummah. One's father is just another person in the ummah, one's mother is just another person in the ummah, one's son is just another person in the ummah, one's daughter is just another person in the ummah, one’s brother or sister is just another person in the ummah. This is only and only possible when people of the ummah are one and the same people. This is the actual teaching of the Quran mullahs have moved people away from. The Quran tells people your families could lead you to hell. What does that mean? Think about it and seriously. It means if people base themselves upon family relationships as groups then people are going to end up in hell of their own making because they will fight against each other and make their lives hell by hands of each other on the basis of their tribal loyalties. It is because if your family is important for you then someone else's family is important for him. How can then people become one ummah and help each other on basis of ummah rather than tribal based loyalties? Anyone who is not your family how can you support him against your own family if it stands on the wrong side of the law? These family relationships are only for organisational and regulatory purposes not for dwelling upon the idea of families because that will cause tensions between people on tribal basis. This is why having any such basis that ruins ummah concept is anti deen of Islam foundation therefore it must be given up instead of being reinforced. Why do we think ruling family dynasties came about or why human imperialism came about? It is because people became groups on harmful and destructive basis and that is why Allah told people not to group together on any other basis than foundation of deen of Islam. This is why deen of Islam is not about nonsense which mullahs dish out due to their utter ignorance about the actual message of the Quran. It is because of mullahs' stupidity that ummah has become divided into groups on so many different anti deen of Islam grounds and remains so, the very thing Allah forbade ummah to do. In the ummah context each person is obliged to do his or her best for all the rest. It matters not whether one is one's close relative or a stranger. Till people who claim to be Muslims have concern of this nature for well being of all in the ummah they cannot be part of the actual Muslim ummah that is approved by Allah in the Quran. This is the foundation of deen of Islam as explained already in detail. This nonsense and that nonsense dished out by mullahs has little or nothing at all to do with actual deen of Islam which we find in the actual Quranic text in its proper context. So being an ummah is the starting phase and having a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for the ummah is the middle of this phase and its completion rests upon its expansion worldwide for ensuring the well being of whole of mankind. This is the fundamental goal of deen of Islam and each and every Muslim needs to know where s/he is going and why and how far one has travelled on this road to success of the mission. From then on ummah is supposed to concentrate on higher goals as already explained in detail. This is why each and every word used in the Quran needs to be paid proper attention for its proper understanding and its connection with other words throughout the Quran. For example, people read words like MUHSINEEN and ZAALIMEEN but never ponder over their meanings and relationship between them. Word MUHSINEEN is from root HAA, SEEN and NOON meaning beauty, and word ZAALIMEEN is from root ZWAA, LAAM and MEEM meaning ugliness. The point to consider is that if something is proper and perfect then it is beautiful, this is why anything which is not proper and perfect is called ugly. So anything which is done properly or is put in its proper place properly is called beautiful and anything that is not done properly or not put in its proper place is called ugly. So people who treat each other properly by ensuring their needs are met create a beautiful human society or community and people who mistreat each other create ugliness in human society or community. So one should be able to connect the dots as to why word zulm is translated as cruelty and word ehsaan is translated as compassion or favour. It is because by fulfilling needs of each other people help each other to be a people who have complete personalities which makes them beautiful people. On the contrary by mistreating each other people only damage each other’s personalities thereby they become a damaged people or a people who turn ugly. So one can see how proper understanding of words used in the Quran helps better understanding of the message of the Quran. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] We cite as an example of properly organised and regulated community of such people as stand together for ensuring well being of mankind, Such verses of the Quran which begin this way have the effect of special emphasis for something ie points made this way are most important therefore must be paid most attention to. It is because such statements are objective statements that are verifiable therefore they can be verified through real world realities. In this verse the point is proper preparation of a group or party of people for the task or mission assigned for people by Allah. This mission is basically about establishing a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of humanity. Unless people understand this objective and make all due preparations for it such a mission cannot be accomplished or fulfilled. 2] because they uphold goals and guidelines assigned to them by Allah to bring order to human population, Word ZAAJIRAAT is from root ZAA, JEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to rebuke. Also to shout at in anger to stop someone or something from doing something, to drive away, to repel, to thunder, to roar, to make loud noise to rebuke someone or something, to scold, to forbid, to hold back someone from doing something inappropriate, to restrain, to prohibit, to repulse, to deter, to learn a lesson, to reproach, to admonish, to warn, to advise, to uphold, foundation, basis, constitution, rule of law, law and order, to uphold the concept of rule of law, to uphold an idea or action or mechanism that can ensure well being of humanity, to stop someone from doing something illegal or unlawful or improper, to declare having or doing something illegal or unlawful, tool or weapon or something like a tool or weapon in some sense, something that has something to do with a tool or instrument or weapon in some sense, camel or something like a camel in some sense, something that has something to do with a camel in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, something that has something to do with a head in some sense etc etc. 3] This is why they properly understand and faithfully follow as well as faithfully deliver the message of Allah to the rest of the human population in the world, Word TAALIYAAT is from root TAA, LAAM and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is to walk behind someone or something in some sense. Also to follow, to pursue, to make someone follow oneself or someone else, to go or come after, a kid of a goat that follows its mother, to follow a borrower to get back from him the borrowed money, to remainder of owed money, to follow the commandments, to carry out the commandments, to read the Quran for its understanding in order to carry out its requirements, to recite the Quran in order to teach others to help them understand it so that they could carry out its requirements, to say wrong things about someone, to slander against something, to let go someone in such way that one comes after the one who lets him go, to put something before someone to seek one’s opinion about it, to leave behind, to overcome, to come one after another, to accumulate, to be wealthy, to attach, the hind part, to read after, to recite, to follow a singer, to succeed, to have the skill to read, to recount, to narrate, to be very conversant in, to be well versed in, to have the skill for doing something, to be expert in doing something, to put into practice, to convey, to deliver, to relate, to pass on, womb or something like womb in some sense, something that has something to do with the womb in some sense, ox-goad or something like an ox-goad in some sense, something that has something to do with an ox-goad in some way, hook or something like a hook in some sense, something that has something to do with a hook in some way etc etc. 4] that your rightful ruler is only and only One, namely Allah. 5] The Creator and Sustainer of all the galaxies including this galaxy and all that is within them as well as Creator and Sustainer of all the extreme points of the universe in all directions in every way. Word MASHAARIQ is plural form of MASHRIQ from root SHEEN, RAA and QAAF. It means gulf or distance or difference between points. The time or distance gap between starting and ending point, The gap between rising and falling of something, sunrise and sunset points from a particular point of view, To rise, to rip, to tear, to expand, to explain, to untie, to open up, to light up, to slit ears of a goat, to choke, to grow, to be on the way to rise, to go in direction of sunrise or to go east, redness of eye, the way to growth and development, to become bathed in the sun light, time of the rising of the sun, a place or places on the earth at which the sun appears when it starts rising, to incline towards the east, to be biased towards the east, to get up in the morning, the rising of the stars, the places on the earth at which the stars appear when they start rising, to become luminous, to shine, direction of sunrise, east, to dry something in the heat of the sunlight, rising star, someone becoming a celebrity, a person who starts getting famous, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, something that has something to do with the teeth in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense, something that has something to do with a head in some sense, monkey or something like a monkey in some sense, something that has something to do with a monkey in some sense etc etc. It is possible that word AL-MASHAARIQ in this verse is used for some other reason than directions. To me it seems to mean ways open to mankind for travelling between the galaxies throughout the universe. In that case man has yet to discover those ways. 6] We have indeed adorned this universe with beautiful galaxies full of stars and planets Word KAWAAKIB is from root KAAF, BAA, KAAF and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a galaxy full of stars. Also solar system or star or planet or a heaven body, something that blossoms or shines, something that draws attention to itself, something that is centre of attention or is of central or fundamental importance, leadership, leader, party, group, tribe, clan, family, circle, team, elements, members of a team, luminaries, scholars, highly learned people or people of great knowledge, inflammatory eye, a tall or huge tree, an experienced or skilled rider or riding expert, a warrior, a well or water spring, palm of the hand or something like the palm of the hand in some sense, something that has something to do with the palm of the hand in some way, house or tent or something like a house or tent in some sense, something that has something to do with a house or tent in some sense etc etc. As explained already the verses of the Quran have complementary parallel meanings therefore one has to think what other meanings could also be derived from these verses that fit in the proper context of the Quran. Here word KAWAAKIB could also be taken as people of knowledge among human populations throughout the world. The main knowledge is of three kinds a)factual ie about real world realities right before our own senses with which we can interact directly, b)historical that is backed by archaeological facts and c)the knowledge that comes from God in form of his revelations eg for this era the Quran. Likewise words SAMAA ADDUNIYAA could mean this world or universe, this galaxy or solar system etc etc. Not only that but these words could also mean luminaries on the horizon of knowledge etc etc. This is why the text of the Quran needs a lot of hard work for decoding its message in its proper context. This is why it is not right that people should blindly follow foolish mullahs. 7] and rendered them secure against every destructive force or cause of failure. 8] Therefore masses should also adhere to Our guidance to be safe and secure and they should not listen to those who seek position of power for domination because then they will be undermined by them in every way, 9] and rejected which will become a permanent state of painful suffering for them, Word DUHOORAA is from root DAAL, HAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to reject. Also to discard, to repel, to kick out, to banish, to chase away, to drive away, to vanquish, to defeat, to overcome, to humble, to overwhelm, to over burden, to throw out, to push away, to give a push, to evict forcefully, to abandon, to curse, to condemn, to leave one one’s own, to let go, to move far away, to humiliate, to disgrace, to debase, to undermine, to put one in shameful state of affairs, to make one go far away, door or something like a door in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense, head or something like a head in some sense etc etc. Word WAASIB is from root WOW, SWAAD and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something long lasting. Also something durable or permanent, to be complete, to remain steady always, to remain determined and do something skilfully and completely, a vast open place where no one lives and edges of which are not in sight, a vast expanse of uninhibited land, a state of lasting illness, a chronic disease, pain, illness, extreme fatigue, to nurse, to persist, forever, constant, hook or something like a hook in some sense, tree or plant or something like a tree or plant in some sense, house or something like a house in some sense etc etc. 10] save such a one as may snatch away something by stealth but even he will be pursued by a sharp predator. In these verses the Quran is telling us that mankind are making very, very slow progress regarding self awareness and awareness of universal realities. Only odd people are interested in finding out what is out there in the universe beyond the earth and solar system which is not the way people should behave. They should show more interest in learning and developing themselves. So much human power is allowed to go to waste and most of it deliberately through nonsense ideas people have about each other. The Quran keeps bringing in natural universal realities to point out to people to look at them how they work nicely in harmony to make the whole thing work. Likewise if people also understood and followed guidance from Allah they too will get a much better life as a result. Failing that people who invent and promote the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other will lead humanity to a dead end and that is because by adopting such a way of life people end up in a terrible trap called chain of predators and victims. The only way to end this chain is by adopting the way of life advised by Allah. This is why deen of Islam is an assigned mission by Allah for people to carry out till its objective becomes fulfilled. This is why people who accept deen of Islam must become an ummah ie a properly organised and regulated proper human community or they cannot bring about a community therefore a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah because to do so is not possible for individual or individuals on their own. Moreover people are naturally bounded by way of relationships so not taking this bond seriously is a very foolish thing to do. All that is missing is ideology which could be used as basis for strengthening the already existing natural bond between human beings which is provided by God through his messages for guidance of mankind. How can mankind be considered sensible human beings if they cannot understand such important concepts about life? Where is sense in people chasing each other around day and night for personal gains at the expense of each other? Why make life such a hell for everyone when it could be made much better for all with much less effort? This mentality of getting each other is leading most people into serious depression around the world and none can live in peace because of it, not even those who are on the top in this game. It is because no one can feel secure in such a situation of instability that people have brought upon themselves. This is why people need to be educated out of it on basis of proper understanding of the message of the Quran. It shows how the Quran is a very different kind of holy book than people think it is due to stupidity of mullahs and due to stupidity of people themselves for following it in a stupid way ie the way mullahs tell them instead of finding things out about it by themselves. 11] Ask these people of yours O messenger, which is more complex and sophisticated thing among the creations in their opinion- their own creation or the creation of the rest of this universe and things in it? We have created them from a sticky mixture of earth and liquid. Here the Quran is talking about origin of tree of life from which evolved human species at a much later stage. Human beings are special creatures unlike any other because no other creature has made machines to do things that humans have, so all other things are very much limited in their abilities to do things by design. A cow does not have the needed brain nor the body mechanism to do what a human being can do and that is why despite being here on the earth for a much longer period of time other animals have made no such advances as human beings have despite coming on the world very, very late. This is very clear proof that mankind have been created for the purpose explained in the Quran ie to discover glory of their creator and sustainer with very little help from their creator. All because mankind are given very capable brains to be able to figure out a lot of things all by themselves with a little bit of prompting and that is what guidance is all about. Before humanity really takes off it must learn to live properly so that it gains the potential it needs to travel and explore the rest of the universe after having had sufficient training here on this planet called the earth. The earth is a temporary stay for mankind till they have the knowledge to leave the earth for elsewhere in this universe. This progress is delayed by people due to infighting therefore the need for unity between mankind before they could start their journey full speed ahead. Of course the creation of the universe appears much more sophisticated to us human beings but the sole creature Allah has created in his image is human being ie the idea he had about man in his mind, a being with ability to become knowledgeable by his own efforts and choice. Despite being so little in size in comparison to rest of the creation of Allah it is he who has been given grand potential to manage the rest of the universe one day as explained in detail already. 12] You marvel at the wonders of Allah’s creations by knowing it better and better while they fail to pay due attention to it. In verses like these the Quran tells us mentality of silly people who do not look into things for understanding them properly instead they have other priorities which lead them to such mindsets, attitudes and behaviours that make them harmful and destructive for humanity. Community spirit or community building is not their concern instead they either show laziness and sit idle or they show craziness by thinking they are the only ones who know all there is to know so they do not need to pay any attention to foundation for morality, despite the fact that they could see what is humanity going through due to misdeeds of people themselves against each other. Foundation is always necessary for any people for doing anything they wish to do with help of each other. It is because humanity loses its base for community building that it falls apart and the only source that can provide that base is the creator and sustainers of mankind. This is why when people see each other fighting with each other and that they have no idea that they have a scripture that can help them become a brotherhood they lose hope of ever reuniting as a family whereof they started off. Any family members start from same parents yet end up getting further and further away from each other over a period of time because they have nothing to build themselves upon as a proper human community or family. This is why humanity is utterly in confusion and on top of all this there are conspirators who are eating away at the very roots of humanity making things yet more difficult for people to overcome. 13] This is why when they are delivered Our message, they do not consider it with all due care needed for studying it, 14] therefore when they come across a piece of Our revelation they laugh at it 15] and say, this is nothing but a clear lie that is presented to us in garbs of truth. 16] What! After we have become a dead people due to complete disintegration of our community structures, are we going to be to raised as a community ever again 17] like our distant forefathers of the ancient times? As explained already once upon a time people were just living like animals but they rose to a thinking level where at they became aware about need for guidance from a higher source and since then people have been bringing about proper human communities but each time such communities fell apart and reached near death experiences but then there rose among them another messenger who brought them back to life again as a great people and so the cycle kept on repeating itself till the time when the final messenger of Allah showed up and build the kingdom of God for the last time as an example for humanity to follow. This kingdom also fell apart soon after the death of the last messenger but since then people have been spreading the message of deen of Islam for mankind to bring about yet another kingdom based upon guidance of Allah and the mission is still in progress and will remain in progress till message of Allah reaches all and they consider it and come together and bring an ummah about that brings about the world kingdom of God here in this world. This bringing back of kingdom was always doubted by people who lost that kind of kingdom till they saw it become a reality again and again each time a new messenger showed up from God and put up a struggle for the success of his assigned mission. Likewise when the final messenger turned up and told people that he is going to bring about a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah and therefore he needs their support they hesitated and made plenty of excuses, particularly those who belonged to ruling elite or money lending elite or priestly elite. They did this mainly because they had the privileges and dominant social positions due to which they used and abused the masses at will. They told their touts, supporters and followers that such a kingdom could never come about like the one that was built in time of their ancestors long time ago. The concept of kingdom of God is alive even today in all the world in the major religions. The problem is people think God will bring about that kingdom by using his own power rather than people bringing about that kingdom. This is why deen of Islam is not what religion of Islam is thought to be by mullahs and their supporters as well as their opponents, who argue aimlessly to prove each other wrong but fail badly. 18] Say, yes but you will have to accept deen of Islam and cooperate and support each other for it. Word DAAKHIROON is from root DAAL, KHAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to submit. Also to cause to submit, to accept to make accept, to cooperate or cause to cooperate, to support or cause to support, to follow or cause to follow, to become smaller or make smaller, to humble or become humble, to come low or cause to come low, to humiliate or become humiliated, to frustrate or become frustrated, to confine or become confined, to be submissive, to be cooperative, to be compelled, to be forced, to be confused, to be in chaos, to be subservient, to be obedient, to debase, to be abject, extremely contemptible, to be degrading, to be of the most miserable kind, to be wretched, to be extremely submissive, to be hopeless, to be dejected, to be self abasing, to be despicable, to be slavish, to be servile, to be of service, door or something like a door in some sense, something that has something to do with the door in some sense, fence or something like a fence in some sense, something that has something to do with the fence in some sense, head or something like ahead in some sense, something that has something to do with the head in some sense etc etc. 19] If they will then it will only be a matter of single call for unity of people and they will see a kingdom based upon Our advised way of life in reality before their very eyes. 20] But those who will refuse to cooperate and support will say at that time, O what a bad news for us because this is the era when all things will be done according to the way of life advised by Allah. 21] It will be said by Our missionaries, yes, this is the same foretold era - of separation between people who live by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and those who live by way of life advised by Allah for ensuring well being of each other - the news of coming of which you used to take for a lie. 22] The order will come from the management of the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah, gather all those who used to live by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other therefore they used to inflict harms and destructions upon each other as well as their supporters and those whom they took for rulers 23] other than Allah and let them continue on the way to life of painful suffering they chose for themselves 24] after holding them for a moment because they need to be asked, 25] what is the matter with you now that you do not help each other as you used to against bringing about the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah? 26] No, they will not be able to help each other in that era because they will all be humbled by the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah who used to oppress and suppress people who worked for establishing the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of mankind. In these verses there is talk about the time when deen of Islam will become an established reality and by that time all kingdoms will become demolished that will have taken stand against the establishment of kingdom of based upon guidance of Allah for ensuring the well being of mankind as a proper human community. 27] However some of them will step forward to confront others with questions. 28] The touts, supporters and followers will say to their ring leaders, it was you people who used to come to us from the position of power to force us towards the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other that was harmful and destructive for humanity. 29] They will reply, no, rather it were you yourselves who did not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. 30] We did not have absolute control over you rather the fact is, you yourselves were a people who rejected and rebelled against the idea of kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of mankind as a proper human community for your own vested interests, 31] therefore warning of our Creator and Sustainer about us has become a reality that we will indeed suffer the painful existence in due course by hands of each if we did not follow His advised way of life. 32] As for our misleading you, it is because we ourselves were misled by people before us. In verses like these the Quran is warning people repeatedly not to follow each other blindly like sheep. Support each other only for things that ensure well being of humanity. To ensure well being of humanity one has to know first what can ensure well being of humanity before one could do such works oneself and ask others to do the same. Not only that but one also has to know what can cause harms or destructions to humanity so that one does not do any such works and one stops others from doing so. For all this people need to educate themselves and do what is required. Ignorance is no excuse for people who remain ignorant themselves about things they are supposed to be knowing. This ummah is in terrible state of existence only because it does not educate itself with help and support of each other and that is because it follows its rulers, money lenders and mullahs instead of each person using his own brain. Had people not used their brains to understand things no messenger of Allah could have had any follower at all nor there could be any messengers from Allah. It is because if all people followed their ancestors blindly then no person will be looking for guidance of Allah so Allah could have none to guide or to send as his messenger. This is a very clear proof that each and every individual must think independently of others and all must come together only on basis of meeting minds based upon consistent reasoning. Blind faith here and blind faith there is recipe for divisions and that paves the way for people who wish to divide people to rule them for their own personal ends or vested interests. In these verses Allah is making clear that each and every person is held responsible for whatever one believes and does. The excuse that such and such misled me therefore I am not responsible for holding wrong beliefs or for doing wrong things is rejected by Allah completely. If people rule people, it is only because people let others rule them because if they did not then none could rule them if they united upon this idea. One has to think, what more could the Quran say to people than telling them don’t follow blindly even your own ancestors? Can anyone beat the Quran in making this issue so clear? No, not at all. The most anyone could love and respect is one’s own parents and grandparents etc and if they are not given the right to mislead their own very children then who else could have that right over individuals among people? This is why people must help each other to rise to level of individual thinking that is logically consistent through and through otherwise humanity can never come out of its problems with each other ever because Allah has given his guidance and it is up to people to turn it into an established reality. A point which shows clear difference between religion based mindset, attitude and behaviour which tells people to depend upon God for each and everything and the deen of Islam based mindset, attitude and behaviour which tells mankind to rely upon themselves on basis of guidance of Allah. It is because religious mindset tells people to rely on God for each and everything therefore people start having a lot of expectations of God which they should not and when those expectations are not fulfilled people get annoyed with idea of God and turn to atheism. This is exactly what rulers, money lenders and mullahs want ie to keep people away from deen of Islam so that they could carry on using people abusively for their own ends without people ever realising what they are really doing and why. This is why when some people do wrong to others the victims wait for God to do something to their victimisers on their behalf. Since this does not happen, so people again hold God responsible for all this when they should not because it is they who are supposed to learn first what God has advised for them and why and then follow that advice and if then things do not work out as told by God then they have every right to ask God why the promise of God has failed to materialise. Without first properly learning the message of Allah and without doing what God told humanity to do if people blame him then they are clearly in the wrong themselves. This right to question God is given to people by God himself in the Quran. 33] Such excuses of theirs will not avail them at all in that era instead all such people will have share in the terribly humiliating outcome of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. 34] That is how Our set-up systems and laws ensure those who commit crimes against each other face the outcome of their own criminal thoughts and actions against each other by hands of each other. 35] All this because when they are told, there is no ruler other than Allah therefore abide by His rule of law, they instead due to their remaining ignorant of Our message become filled with sense of dominance over each other whereby they try to undermine each other 36] and say, what! Shall we give up the way of life chosen for us by our rulers just because of nonsense way of life this madman tells us to live by? 37] No, rather the fact is, he has come to establish a kingdom based upon Our guidance for them in reality for ensuring their well being in order to fulfil thereby whatever was foretold by Our earlier messengers about all this. 38] So they are told, because you have adopted the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other in opposition to Our advised way of life therefore you are surely going to taste the life of terrible painful suffering by hands of each other 39] which is nothing other than the outcome of your own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. This verse tells us clearly it is not Allah who punishes people for their wrong doings to each other but that people themselves interact with each other that way from which Allah stops them and so they end up in troubles as a result of that sort of situation which they create for themselves. Allah if anything stops them from doing all sorts of wrongs to each other so that they do not end up in troubles by hands of each other. The more people do more wrongs to each other the more troublesome life becomes for humanity as time goes on. If they want less troubles then, they better do less wrongs to each other and if they do not want any troubles at all between themselves then they better do no wrongs to each other at all. The idea of cruel God is a religious idea that has nothing at all to do with deen of Islam. The Quran begins with formula of BIS MILLAH which contains words AL-RAHMAAN and AL-RAHEEM. What mullahs have done is they have borrowed religious ideas and rituals and have labelled them deen of Islam as explained in detail already. 40] Nonetheless as for people who will sincerely and faithfully abide by way of life advised by Allah 41] there will be for them sustenance about which they have been made aware already 42] that is there will be fruits of their own labours in abundance for them which will be delivered to them with dignity and security 43] in the kingdoms based upon Our guidance which will be full of all sorts of blissful things, 44] due to people in them founding themselves upon the very same blissful, dignifying and secure foundation provided by their Creator and Sustainer as a proper human community that is caring and sharing. 45] All this because among them will be passed round the very same cup filled with knowledge, the Quran, from the flowing fountain of knowledge their Creator and Sustainer Word KAS is from root KAAF, ALIF and SEEN.

Concrete meaning of this root is the eye. Also something like an eye in some sense, something that has something to do with the eye in some way, running water or fresh running water or river or stream or water spring, spring season or new beginning, to spy, to keep an eye on, to lookafter, to be a guard or guardian, to aid or help or assist or support, watchtower, to conspire, to cause pain or suffering, a flourishing piece of land with greenery, prosperity, abundance, plentiful, sphere or zone or area under observation or jurisdiction, to be in front of people’s eyes, to be a witness, to be present before people, source of water, ocean or sea or pond, a person with eyes like a wild cow, eye sight, to see, to have beautiful eyes, to injure the eye, to give the evil eye, to ascertain, notables, apple of the eye, a group of brothers, to have large beautiful eyes, eye or something like the eye in its existence or behaviour or use, hand or something like the hand in its existence or behaviour or use, fish or ink or something like the fish or ink in its existence or behaviour or use etc etc. 49] by treating this knowledge like a valuable nest-egg deserving proper preservation for their brilliant future. 50] Similarly some of the earlier people turned to each other for a mutual discussion. 51] One of them told them, I had a chief 52] who said to me, being such an intelligent man how could you be one of those who think the way of life allegedly advised by Allah is truly from Allah? 53] How can it be that even though our organisational and regulatory systems and structures have fallen apart that way we could become established upon the foundation of dignity and honour once again? No way. 54] Thereupon the speaker was asked by the addressed, would you like to become informed about the state of existence of that chief now? 55] That is how he was made aware about him so he saw him in a terrible state of existence. 56] He said to him, by Allah! You almost misled me as well from the way of life advised by Allah. Word TURDEEN is from root RAA, DAAL and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to cause destruction of someone in some way.

Word ZAQQOOM is from root ZAA, QAAF and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to swallow with great difficulty. Also to swallow fast, to drink too much milk, a food made with fresh butter and dates, a plague, a wide spread trouble, a certain foul smelling plant or tree, a certain foul tasting plant or tree, a stinking tree, a plant or tree with bitter tasting fruit that is very dry and very difficult to swallow, a way of life that makes life very hard or very difficult or impossible, to swallow or make one swallow something horrible or something one does not like at all or one hates, a tree of a bitter fruit, a wild plant with fruits like the heads of the serpents, a food that is poisonous or can kill, a thought or action that can be harmful or destructive if followed through, a harmful and destructive way of life, a harmful or destructive custom or tradition or rule of law, to do something harmful or destructive, a troublesome food that can fill the belly of its eater but does not give needed nourishment or energy and instead become very troublesome for the digestive system of the eater to handle, a thought or an idea that if carried through will result in a terrible outcome, a way of earning one’s living that is harmful and destructive as well as disgraceful and humiliating for oneself and others, a way of fulfilling one’s needs and desires that is disgraceful and destructive for humanity which gradually leads mankind to self destruction or prevents progress or development or growth, a trickster’s way of life who employs tricks and mechanisms to trap others for using them abusively for his own ends, leadership or leaders who lead their people to harms or destructions for their own personal gains at their expense, a way of life based upon falsehood, tool or weapon or instrument or something like a tool or weapon or an instrument in its existence or behaviour or use or what it does, monkey or something like a monkey in its existence or behaviour or use or what it does, water or something this like water in its existence or behaviour or use or what it does etc etc. 63] Surely We saw the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other which is invented and adopted by those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other very harmful and destructive for humanity. 64] It is a warfare based way of life because it is founded upon terrible fire of hatred between people due to divisions. 65] Its fruits come forth in form of rulers, money lenders and priests who are harmful and destructive 66] along with whom participate their touts and supporters who fulfil their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires to their heart’s content. 67] But in reaction to all that in due course things heat up among masses delivering them a taste of their own ignited fire of hatred Word SHOWBAA is from root SHEEN, WOW and BAA.

Word YUHRAOON is from root HAA, RAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to jump headlong into something without giving it a second thought.

A very important point is made in this verse that when Noah called for help of Allah he told him the way for getting out of troubles that surrounded him. There was no magical or miraculous intervention and that is because Allah created mankind to work their way out of problems of life themselves with a little help from his guidance and that is how mankind are supposed to show what kind of creatures they are and how great is their creator. This is the main point throughout the Quran which ignorant people do not try to think about at all. Instead they look for saviours all the time when they are faced with problems which are created by themselves. If God intervened for people over things like this then how would they learn to use their brains, senses and abilities to show that their creator is someone great or that they themselves are something better than rest of creatures of God? This is the real test of humanity to show to itself what it is capable of doing. Allah has created mankind to struggle their way through to achievements. This is why religions are very harmful and destructive for humanity if people could sit and think about it. The Quran is not a holy book of religion but a book that educates mankind out of their nonsense that is trapping them in cycle of self harm and destruction. 76] We delivered him and his people from a gravely distressful situation Word KARB is from root KAAF, RAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to plough in the field. Also to tear through something, to injure, to dig into something for some purpose, to etch, to make a groove into something for some reason, to cause injury or harm, to be about to settle down, to decline, to fall, a time when the sun is about to set, to wind a rope, to twist something for some purpose, the rope that is tied to the bucket for getting water from the well, shackles or fetters or chains or irons for animal feet or neck, boat, boat like bamboo basket, bucket for fetching water, to put in chains, a stressful situation, a frustrating situation, to tie down something tightly for some reason, something that wears out in time, something that wears down something in due course, to burden something with something, the barren piece of land, to be tough or hard, to be strong, to be very sad, to be in distress, to be in a depressing situation, to become worn out, to become weak or tired, to suffer from fatigue, to suffer from sorrow, to be part of administration or management of a kingdom, to twist together, to tighten, to enclose, to depress, to oppress, to grieve, supporting ropes, the broad base of palm tree leaves, adversity, affliction, disaster, catastrophe, palm of hand or something like the palm of hand in some sense, head or something like the head in some sense, house or something like the house in some sense etc etc. 77] and We kept his ideological successors united for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind as a proper human community on basis of Our guidance so that they carry on existing, 78] that is how We kept alive for him among generations to come his tradition of living by Our advised way of life. 79] Unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind was the legacy of Noah for the people of the world. 80] That is how We reward those who work hard to make life blissful, dignified and secure for mankind. 81] Surely he was one of Our such human beings who commit themselves to working for unity peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to Our guidance. 82] However We let others drown themselves in their own atrocities against each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. 83] Surely Abraham too belonged to his category of people. 84] Because he also came to his Creator and Sustainer with a mindset, attitude and behaviour that was consistent with His guidance for ensuring well being of humanity. 85] At the time he said to the leadership of his people and his people, think about by which rule of law you people are living your lives? 86] Is it that you people want to live by rule of law of others than Allah through your invented falsehood? 87] What is then the value of the way of life advised for us by the Creator and the Sustainer of the kingdom of the universe in your minds? Word ZANN is from root ZWAA, NOON and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is to have an opinion or to hold a certain belief about something with or without clear or concrete evidence. Also to assume, to suppose, to conjecture, to guess, to deem, to speculate, to expect, to slander, to backbite, to anticipate, to have or to hold wrong opinion about someone or something, to spread wrong thoughts about someone or something, to make an assumption, to think, to imply, to deduce, to infer, to know, to presume, to believe, to have or hold an opinion or thought, to estimate, to be or not to be certain about something, to suspect, to accuse, to have low opinion of something, to under or over value something, to consider something of little or no value, to consider something more valuable than it is, to overestimate something, to grossly over value something, to think ill about someone or something, to be suspicious, to doubt, to realise, to become aware about something, to come to understanding of something, to arrive at an opinion about something, to come to realisation of something, to understand something, to come to comprehension of something, to marry an older woman in the hope she will still be able to have children even though she has passed her child bearing age, to lend money to someone not knowing whether one will pay it back or not, to go with or after uncertainties, to suffer from make beliefs, a well about which one is not sure whether it has water in it or not, something more or less likely to happen, something more or less probable, a thought or an opinion or a guess or doubt or suspicion, landmark or something like the landmark in some sense, fish or ink or something like the fish or ink in some sense etc etc. These like verses in the Quran tell mankind that they must not think about Allah in a downgrading way instead they must discover his glory to see how great and majestic he is when it comes to his ability of creativity which he expressed through his creations and revelation. By accepting themselves as useless or worthless creatures, are human beings not then down grading God as well? The lower they value themselves the lower becomes the status of their creator because man is the master piece of God’s creation. This is why mankind must never underestimate planning, designing and creativity of Allah. This is a clear proof that God is not looking for worship in context of pooja ritual as is found in Hinduism but intellectual appreciation through human creativity. Worship in this sense only downgrades mankind and their creator both. This is also a clear proof that religions are false and they have been invented and used by people against each other as tools to undermine each other for a very long time by now. Imagine how people downgrade themselves by trying to be masters of each other and worse than that trying to worship idols or even animals when the Quran repeatedly tells mankind the whole universe is created to serve their needs both mental and physical. The purpose of God for creating human beings was so that they have independent opinion about God by observing and learning from his creation and revelation. Unless people realise greatness of God through their own learning and discoveries through their own researches and explorations their opinion about God are merely rubber stamp for which God did not need to give them freedom or ability of choice. This is also something that makes deen of Islam very different from religions because they are based upon concept of blind faith. 88] That is how in due course he turned his focus on their idolised personalities when he tried to educate his people 89] and in due course he said to them, I am disappointed with you due to your personality cults and your failure to grasp my point of view. Word SAQEEM is from root SEEN, QAAF and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to be or become ill. Also to be or become sick, to be or become troubled, to be or become weak, to condemn, to be or become ill-disposed, to be or become unfriendly, to be or become disappointed with something or someone for some reason, to be or become unsympathetic, to have negative attitude towards something or someone, to have objectionable disposition, to have or hold unfavourable opinion about something or someone, to have negative views about something or someone, to be or become sick and tired of something or someone, to be or become fed up with something or someone, to be or become worn out by something or someone, to be or become fatigued by something or someone, to be or become bored by something or someone, to be or become alienated by someone or something, to not be in favour of something or someone, to have opposition against someone or something, to vomit, to empty one’s stomach, to say things which others dislike or hate, to say things which offend others, to say things which provoke others, to say things which annoy others, to say things which make other people angry, to cause to be or become sick or ill, to cause to become troubled, to be or become difficult to handle, to suffer from hardship or poverty in some sense for some reason, to not to be able to function properly, to become entrapped or frustrated, to be unhappy with something or someone, to be in an unhappy situation or set of circumstances, to suffer from an unfavourable situation, to be or become depressed, to suffer from anxiety or uncertainty, to be or become weak, to be faulty or defective, to be incomplete, to be flawed, to lack in something in some sense, to lack in mental or physical health for some reason, to suffer from some ailment, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. 90] He said so because his people turned away from the way of life he was sent with. In these verses personality cults are condemned because they create divisions between people. This is another reason why imperialism by any means is haraam=unlawful in deen of Islam. It is fundamentally because it is as if one claim to be God. The sole creator therefore rightful inheritor and ruler of this universe is Allah alone as clearly told in the Quran repeatedly. This is why none owns anything and that is why none has the right to sell or buy anything. Mankind are only allowed management of all the universe but on the condition that they will make proper use of each and everything in it and never misuse it deliberately. This is why copyrights and private ownerships are all unlawful in the law of Allah. Not only that such manmade laws only hinder human progress and development or growth therefore prosperity. Manmade laws given some people undue rights over others for purpose of keeping mankind divided and at each other’s throats. Deen of Islam fundamentally wants unity between people for peace, progress and prosperity so that they could ensure their well being as a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah. People have no right to take each other for slaves to be masters of each other. The Quran is therefore fundamentally against slavery of some people by others. To claim deen of Islam binds people to have slaves and maids is a lie against deen of Islam that was invented and spread by imperial mullahs of old which is still supported by mullah followers even today and for the very same reasons. Deen of Islam could not be named deen of Islam if it led some people to harm others for all the wrong reasons. One only needs to trace back the meanings of word ISLAAM which is from root SEEN, LAAM and MEEM. It is based upon Hebrew root SHIN, LAAMED and MIM. It means peace. One cannot have peace among people if one does not have right goals and guidelines for peace as basis to begin with and the Quran is full of such information as explained in detail already. Why personality cults are bad has also been explained already in detail. It is because they take people away from proper rule of law that ensures unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. After all idol worship only came about due to personality cults because some people thought other people are more important than them so they have right to rule or own them. They considered them above the law because they were given right to make laws for them as they pleased. 91] However eventually he turned his focus on their idolised personalities which they took for their rulers saying to them, why don’t you participate in affairs of your people properly? 92] What is the matter with you that you don’t even speak up to guide them away from the harms and destructions they inflict upon each other? 93] That is how he targeted them, trying to knock into them proper sense of proper way of life. 94] So people came running to the scene. 95] He said to them, why do you subject yourselves to rule of law of those whom you have given the power which they have with your own support, Word TANHITOON is from root NOON, HAA and TAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to shape something by chipping off unwanted bits of it. Also to carve or carve into some shape or form, to sculpt, to give something its character or features, to chip off, to give some desired shape or form to something in some sense by removing or taking away its unwanted bits and pieces, to hew or hew out, to quarry, to chisel, to hollow or hollow out, to change or turn something into something else in some sense, splinters, disposition, character, fish or ink or something like fish or ink in some sense, fence or something like fence in some sense, womb or something like womb in some sense etc etc. Here it is told powerful people have no power at all over anyone unless people themselves support them in having that power over them. Money means nothing at all if people stop using it today. All it means is that humanity will have to organise and regulate human population in a different way which needs no money mechanism. This will only happen when people become aware of the fact that they do not need to use each other abusively to have a great life in this world as a proper human community. This has been explained in detail already ie the idea is to work together for production and distribution of goods and services as one people so that each and every person gets what one needs at the point of need freely. All this helps to separate true historical accounts from the false one that were invented for propagating imperial agendas in the name of God to fool the masses. False interpretations of the Quranic text and of Hadees texts and false reports in the Hadees books all have contributed hugely to delay of proper understanding of deen of Islam. However as mankind realise the truth about deen of Islam gradually falsehood is going to disappear. Reason is bound to have its day. 96] when Allah is the One Who has created you and granted you the ability of creativity to do all that you do? 97] They said to one another, prepare for him a dungeon and throw him in that to stop him from interfering in our affairs.

I have a vision that I must dedicate you to serve the mission of Allah for ensuring the well being of mankind so what do you think about it? He said, O my father! Do what you have been guided to do, you will find me of those who are steadfastly consistent with mission of Allah for ensuring the well being of mankind . Word SA-YA is from root SEEN, AIN and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to make effort for accomplishing intended goal. Also to intend or decide to do something, to walk or run or move fast, to strive hard, to make needed preparations for something, to do what is needed for achieving or accomplishing something, the person who collects dues of people as a government agent, tax or revenue collector, to work hard towards some intended goal, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, eye or something like eye in some sense, hand or something like hand in some sense etc etc. 103] That is how they both committed themselves to mission of Allah for ensuring the well being of mankind and that is how Abraham dedicated his son to the mission of Allah.

That is how We reward those who work hard to make this world a beautiful place for mankind to live in. The story of Abraham and Ishmael told in the Quran is very different from what religious mullahs have been telling by copying each other. Allah does not do anything that harms and destroy people, if anything he guides them to safe and secure life. Throughout the Quran Allah is keep telling mankind to create a kingdom based upon his guidance for ensuring well being of mankind. This kingdom needs dedicated people who understand his message properly and then spread his message faithfully to gain support for it because such a kingdom cannot be created by one man on his own even if he is a prophet. This is why messengers of Allah have been dedicating themselves and their children to mission assigned to them by Allah and likewise the final messenger of Allah dedicated his ummah for this purpose also but so far ummah has not been very successful in understanding the message of the Quran properly therefore in spreading it faithfully and the result speaks for itself. The way the Quran has been misinterpreted by senseless mullahs and it has been spread by their equally senseless followers it has created problems for all people throughout the world instead of helping to solve their problems. The wrong interpretations of the Quran have given sticks in the hands of the nonMuslims to beat up the Muslims with. So people with proper knowledge of the Quran must come forward if they want to change things for the better and ummah at large needs to support them or days are not far before ummah is hemmed in from all sides for such terrible works that it has produced in the name of Allah and his messenger that have misled mankind and are continue misleading them. 106] That was indeed a mission which obviously needed a very hard struggle to be turned into a reality. 107] So We rewarded him for his great dedication that he showed in fulfilling Our assigned mission Word FADAEE is from root FAA, DAAL and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to take or give one thing for another in exchange. Also to save one thing through another, to free someone from trouble or difficulty or danger through some mechanism, to use something as ransom for another, to free someone from some liability through some kind of compensation, to free a prisoner of war for a ransom, to reward one good or bad act with another, to offer something for labour of someone as compensation, to pay due wage for one’s labour or work, to contend with someone for compensation, to undertake to ransom, to seek to ransom, to seek ransom for something, to seek something in exchange for another, to offer or sacrifice something for some purpose, to offer, to sacrifice, to dedicate oneself or someone else for some task or mission or goal or purpose or reason or cause, to redeem, to compensate, to reward, to reward someone in response to someone’s offer or sacrifice or dedication or hard work, to exchange, to change one thing for or with another, to exchange war prisoners or captives, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, door or something like door in some sense, hand or something like hand in some sense etc etc. 108] and that is how We kept his good name alive among the generations to come. 109] Therefore celebrate Abraham as a man who worked for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to Our guidance. 110] That is how We reward those who work for making this world a beautiful place for mankind to live in by sticking to Our advised way of life. 111] He was indeed one of those people who committed themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to Our guidance. 112] Moreover We gave him the good news about Isaac a prophet who was of those who did things which ensured unity among people and helped increase capabilities of people as a proper human community. 113] We granted blissful, dignified and secure life in a kingdom based upon Our guidance to him and Isaac both. Among their ideological and biological progeny there are some who work for harmony and beauty in the world but there are also those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other among themselves that are clearly evident. 114] We also bestowed Our blissful, dignified and secure life providing guidance upon Moses and Aaron as well 115] and through that We delivered them along with their people from a very difficult situation. 116] The reason We helped them with Our guidance was, so that they could overcome the problems that faced them in living their lives properly. 117] That is why We gave them Our book that made things clear for them 118] and guided them both to the path of life that was firmly founded for blissful, dignified and secure existence for them and their people to live by. 119] This is how We kept their good names alive among the later generations of mankind. 120] Therefore celebrate Moses and Aaron as men who worked for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. 121] That is how We reward those who work hard to make this world a beautiful place for mankind to live in. 122] Surely they were both of those who committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to Our guidance. 123] And for sure Ilyaas too was one of those who were sent by Us as messengers. 124] At the time he said to his people, why don’t you become consistent with guidance of Allah for ensuring the well being of mankind as a proper human community? 125] Why do you rely upon the way of life attributed to Baal based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and avoid the way of life based upon brotherhood of humanity advised by the one who is best among teachers of creativity and beautiful manners Word BALAA is from root BAA, AIN and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is highland area where flooding water cannot reach. Also any plant or tree that can seep water by its roots without being watered, master or chief or owner, husband, father, guardian, protector, something that has overwhelming power, load or weight or burden, name of idols but it must be remembered that all idols were named after something or someone due to personality cults, unirrigated palm trees, a male palm tree, deity, sun god, an idol of gold, to wonder, to terrorise, to instil fear, to be friendly, to be of accompany, to be of help or assistance, to aid or support, to back up or reinforce, house or tent or something like house or tent in being, behaviour, action, use or function or purpose, eye or something like eye in being or behaviour or action or function or use or purpose, ox-goad or something like ox-goad in being or behaviour or function or action or purpose or use etc etc. Word TAZAROON is from root WOW, ZAAL and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a small piece of boneless meat. Also to let or leave one to deal with someone or something, to let go, to leave alone, to avoid, to stay away from, to leave one up to something or someone to deal with, to leave behind, to not let something or someone worry you or to become your concern, to cut something into small pieces, to forsake, to not to bother with, to not to deal with, to cease, to leave as something is, to leave something in its place, to leave someone in his state of being, to not to disturb something or someone, to allow, to make allowance for, to let one have his way, to abandon, to renounce, to forgo, to let be, to exclude or leave out, to spare, hook or something like hook in being or behaviour or attitude or mindset or function or purpose or use or action, door or something like door in some sense, head or something like head in some sense etc etc. One must always remember that idols were made by people for various reasons but they named them after forces of nature or people or things they could see or hear or merely on their imaginations. It is because some things benefited them while others harmed or destroyed and yet others could be pleased or made angry. So they praised those benefited them or listened to their requests and worshipped others which frightened them in order to please them to avoid their anger etc. Such ideas are found in all religions even if they do not worship idols. Most of the Muslims also praise God for similar reasons because they also think Allah is a very angry God who is ready to punish one at a drop of hat. This is why people worry about their salvation. However such idea have nothing at all to do with deen of Islam that based upon the Quran. The God of the Quran is a unique being who is always ready to guide people to the proper way of life for living in this world as should be obvious to those who have studied the Quran properly. 126] Allah, the Creator and Sustainer of yours as well as of your earlier ancestors? 127] But the rulers, money lenders, priests and their supporters refused to live by the way of life he was sent with, so they were made to face the consequences of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other based upon their own chosen way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other 128] with the exception of sincere people who dedicated themselves properly to proper mission of Allah. In verses like this double standard is disapproved and condemned ie religion and secularism based ways of life. To rule is right of Allah alone not of mankind. They can only be managers of his provided things but according to his guidance so that all things are used properly by all people so that well being of mankind is ensured. 129] So We kept his good name alive among the later generations of mankind. 130] Therefore celebrate people such as Ilyas who dedicate themselves properly to proper mission of Allah. 131] That is how We reward those who commit themselves to working hard for making this world a beautiful place for mankind to live in. 132] He was surely one of such people who committed themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to Our guidance. 133] Moreover Lot was also one of those who were sent by Us as Our messengers. 134] At the time We delivered him and his people from a troubling situation 135] save a party of his people that kept back from joining this community, Word AJOOZAA is from root AIN, JEEM and ZAA.

Already explained in detail. 138] and by night. So why don’t you people use your brains and senses to observe them to learn lessons from to understand things properly? 139] Jonah too was indeed one of those who were sent by Us as Our messengers. 140] At the time he left quietly for the boat/place laden/full with/of people, Word ABAQA is from root ALIF, BAA and QAAF.

As is clear from the Quranic text and context messengers sent by Allah to mankind on his assigned mission were not treated nicely by people in power at the time because their message opposed their invented and adopted ways of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. Chiefs wanted to live by that way of life because it gave them ample advantage over the rest of their people. This caused huge suffering among mankind and held humanity back from what God created them for ie unity, peace, progress and prosperity so that they could accomplish higher goals set for them by God as explained already in detail. In order to help people out of this situation Allah sent his guidance for mankind through his messengers but when they came to people they faced severe opposition by those with vested interests. One can therefore imagine how hard missionaries have to struggle to get the message of Allah across to masses. So bringing about the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah is not a piece of cake in the plate ready for people to eat. Each and every person interested in that kingdom must work his best for it only then progress in that direction will be made otherwise things will take time to change through natural causes. This is the first test of humanity to check its capabilities particularly its ability of intelligence and its ability to carry out what it is supposed to do. If people cannot even read and write or do not even educate and train themselves for this purpose and keep saying we can do it then their claims are too good to be true because facts on the ground contradict them. The Quran is full of lessons for mankind but particularly for Muslims who claim to be an ummah or Muslim brotherhood. Muslims brotherhood means nothing at all if it is only another group of people that has no idea where it is going. The history of such a Muslim ummah is before the very eyes of mankind to see for what they have accomplished for the good of mankind for so many centuries by now. The final messenger of Allah achieved in 23 years what Muslims have failed to achieve in last 1400 years. What a shame! All this was mainly because Muslims changed deen of Islam into a religion which divided them into many personality cults known as Muslim sects that are busy killing each over nothing at all. A people who were supposed to hang onto legacy of messenger of Allah most of them have turned into senseless savages and animals who have adopted the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. This is what religion and secularism does to people. Muslims will remain in this state of existence for as long as they will keep on ignoring the actual message of the Quran and keep following various religious and secular cults blindly thinking they know all they need to know and that they are doing what is right. All this is happening because they have ignored learning the Quran in the light of real world realities in order to change the world for the good of mankind. They have become part of the problem rather than the part of solution. They think just by carrying out a few rituals as individual and then praying to God will solve all the problem of this ummah. However the Quran does not support that sort of mindset, attitude and behaviour because it tells very clearly what it wants human being to think and do in order to have a great life in this very world for the reward in hereafter. Allah will never intervene in this world the way religious people think because they have been indoctrinated to think that way by their priestly classes. In the Quran Allah repeatedly tells mankind he has to play his part and people will have to play their parts as explained and that will bring about what is promised by him as the outcome. Otherwise Hindus, Parsees, Jews, Christians, Muslim etc etc have been crying for thousands of years and nothing much has changed other than naturally forced changes for which people needed no God at all to tell them what to do or how to do it. So if any mullahs and their blind followers out there are thinking they are doing anything right they need to think again. If anything is getting better for mankind it is only due to anti religious and anti secularism forces out there which are helping humanity to keep redirecting itself through various confrontations. The very basic purpose of guidance of Allah is people should understand it properly and follow it faithfully for changing things for ensuring their own well being. If it is not used for that then whatever else people use it for is utterly useless and if anything it could prove very harmful for humanity due to its misuse. If you are not serving God then you are serving people who reject and oppose his message by playing in their hands. The Quran calls such people SHAYATEEN or Satans ie the mischief makers or war mongers because that is exactly what they do by inventing and adopting the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. 145] That is how We helped him escape that situation by placing him in an uncultivated political landscape as he was utterly against it so he worked hard to change it The only way out of bad human world is to adopt the way of life that can change the bad human world into the good human world. Just as adopting bad way of life can lead people to turn their world into a bad world so adopting good way of life can lead people to turn their world into a good world, it is simple as that. So anyone who wants the world to remain bad is working for it even if by not lifting his little finger against it but anyone who wants to turn things round will have to work very, very hard at it, starting with proper understanding of the message of the Quran and then spreading this message faithfully so that first of all people could see truth and falsehood clearly and then adopt truth or falsehood as they wish. If they adopt the truth then they will have to come together to be a single community and then work out the action plan and storm the world with message of the Quran to ensure well being of mankind then see the outcome of their thoughts and actions based upon the guidance of Allah for themselves just like prophet Jonah and his people. 146] because We helped him grow in there in getting support for Our assigned mission under Our guidance till it spread and Our rule of law became an established reality therein. Word YAQTEEN is from root YAA, QAAF, TWAA, YAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is to move slowly and quietly. Also to creep, to crawl, to climb, to move stealthily or cautiously, to proceed slowly and carefully, to grow slowly horizontally underground or on the surface of the ground, to slip out of place, to shift gradually, to have tingling sensation, to progress gradually, to make a movement grow slowly and cautiously, to move upwards, to rise, to move towards success or target or goal, to slant or slope upwards, to ascend slowly, to spread gradually, to be anxious, to be frantic, to ascend, to rise by means of twinning stems or tendrils, to slowly climb up the mountain, a place to climb up to, a creeping or climbing plant that spreads in a short time and has large leaves that are very good for providing shade from the sunlight, gourd or pumpkin or watermelon or any other large or hard skin fruit or vegetable, embroidery, design, pattern, offspring, lace, floral, creeping or crawling or climbing insects or things, scary thing, things that instil fear, something that frightens, hand or something like hand in some sense, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, landmark or something like landmark in some sense, fish or ink or something like fish or ink in some sense etc etc. 147] Behold! We sent him on a mission to a population of more than hundred thousand people. 148] However they eventually committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind therefore We provided them with things to enjoy their lives for as long as they continued on that path. Each people after they were put on the right course by a messenger in due course fell away from it due to becoming slack in efforts for learning and doing things so messengers were sent again and again to put humanity on the right course. This method was ended and the responsibility of mission was totally placed on the shoulders of this ummah. People are fulfilling their missionary duty but not in as great numbers as they should and not all of them are doing things the way they should which creates more problems instead of helping them solve. 149] Now after all this explanation ask these people of yours O messenger of Mine, is it consistent in their opinion with perfection of your Creator and Sustainer to base His advised way of life for mankind upon weak or harmful and destructive foundations for ensuring their blissful, dignified and secure existence and to let them have the opportunity to base their ways of life upon strong foundations for themselves to live by? Here the Quran is starting a challenging argument against those who attribute lies to God for reason that how could they call him God yet think he is weaker than them or human beings themselves in intelligence and creativity etc that he needs others to help him? What is the point of God sending his messages through his messengers if people could do all by themselves much better than his provided guidance? Not only that but does the human history prove people have done better without guidance of Allah? If anything it proves human beings are ignorant fools the way they have been committing atrocities against each other for personal gains at the expense of each other despite being provided with guidance by Allah. A clear proof that human invented and adopted ways of life are based upon harmful and destructive foundations therefore they can never deliver them blissful, dignified and secure life. The only way of life that can deliver them the kind of blissful, dignified and secure life the Quran promises is the way of life advised by Allah because it is based upon solid foundations. So Allah did not leave it to people to attribute their self invented and adopted ways of life based upon harmful and destructive foundations to him because he told them clearly the proper way of life that is based upon blissful, dignified and secure foundations. 150] Or have they witnessed that We have appointed for Our mission to carry it through the people who were weaklings as Our messengers? Here the Quran makes it absolutely clear to mankind that people he chose for his messengership were not weaklings at all otherwise they could not have carried through his mission assigned to them. One has to see how powerful people like rulers, money lenders and priests were challenged by messengers of Allah and were defeated by them repeatedly. No weak person could dare do that at all. These messengers of Allah proved they were the right people for the task that was assigned to them. Even today world is still wondering how the final messenger of Allah accomplished so much in such a short time. This also puts a question mark on the Muslims ummah which claims to be follower of those messengers. In the world of six billion people today more than one a half billion Muslims count for little or nothing much at all, why? It is because they have not studied the Quran by themselves for a very long time now. They have been enslaved by rulers, money lenders and mullahs among them and world all around them. This is why rulers, money lenders and mullahs need to be kicked out of the ummah to go where they belong because such people are Muslims only in name nothing much to show for their being Muslims. Such people are playing in the hands of nonMuslims and they are making fools of their own people on behest of the enemies of this ummah. 151] Is it not therefore the case that they are inventing or forging lies when they claim 152] Allah has a helper or backer? They are surely liars. 153] Ask them, do you still think after all this explanation that He has chosen weak or harmful and destructive foundations to base upon His advised way of life for mankind instead of strong foundations for ensuring their well being? 154] What is wrong with your ability of thinking? On what basis do you judge things to see if they are true or false, right or wrong? 155] Why don’t you think all this through thoroughly? 156] Or is it that you have a clear cut proof for whatever you claim like the Quran? 157] In that case show us your book from Allah if what you claim is true. Here the Quran puts forth itself as a challenge for mankind to test their allegedly God given scriptures. If they too are from God as a whole then they will be just like the Quran and if they are not then they are anything but not like the Quran. So whatever is in those scriptures may or may not be from God because in that case it is very much possible that the partial information found in them may well have been copied or incorporated from scriptures sent by God for some particular reasons to suit the authors or to the masters of the authors eg rulers, money lenders or mullahs etc. This is true even about Muslims who have the original Quran yet live by its religion based translations and interpretations. This too is like incorporating message of Allah into books that suit rulers, money lenders and mullahs. This is why ummah must wake up and see where it is going and taking the rest of humanity with it. 158] They also claim that rulers are appointed by Allah so masses should become their subjects in the name of Allah. However the harmful and destructive leadership that is full of deceptions is made aware indeed that they are bound to face set-up systems and laws of Allah in due course to suffer the consequences of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. This verse is very important to take note of because it destroys the very belief that Allah appoints kings and priests to rule over people. This is a belief created by mullahs to exploit masses by making fools of them in the very name of God. Mullahs, rulers and money lenders are responsible for misinterpretations of God sent scriptures and Samiree like people are spreading their lies in the name of God throughout the world through mandirs, churches, synagogues, masjids, temples etc. It is because Allah forbids undue exploitation of people by each other and even of animals that is why people who love to live on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other want to keep rule by God out of their way because it stops them from using each other abusively for personal gains at the expense of each other. It is because mankind cannot have unity, peace, progress and prosperity as a proper human community or ummah if there is going to be personal gains at the expense of each other as basis for living their lives. It is recipe for using each other abusively. This is why deen of Islam and religion or secularism cannot exist together. As human exploitation peaks world is in danger of great wars between nations and even within nations because humanity has become split very much between haves and have nots. So people have little choice but to call on rule of law of Allah for the good of humanity, the sooner the better. This like verses also explain how superstition is invented in the name of God by clever people who wish to rule them to fool the simple mind masses. The idea of invisible forces is very effective for frightening people into submission like little children whom parents frighten into obedient kids. Not only that but such idea are also very effective in enticing people with incentives from invisible beings like Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus etc. The idea of jinn or demon or evil spirit possession is a very widely spread superstition even among Muslims. Hindus worship a lot of invisible forces and even animals in the hope to save themselves from bad things happening to them and in order to get in books of their gods. The Quran begins with story of Adam by telling people all things are for serving mankind that is why they must submit to mankind ie mankind will overcome them one day. This idea is repeated though out the Quran. This makes it very obvious that the Quran is not book that teaches superstition but the opposite by explaining how things work due to physical interactions that man could discover through exploring things as time goes on. Man is no9t created to serve anything but purpose of God. It is therefore a disgrace that people should lead each other into life humanity had thousands of years back in time. A clear proof that the Quran is not authored by mankind otherwise it ought to give power to some individual human being over other individual human beings as is clear from the human history. How could a human being think thousands of years into future to author a book like the Quran? 159] Allah is free from advising people to do harmful and destructive things to each other which harmful and destructive people attribute to Him, This verse must be taken note of because it tells us very clearly that Allah does nothing to harm mankind but people must learn to live properly in order to stay safe from potential harms that they end up in due to their own ignorance of thing which they ought to learn and know. 160] no such thing is done to each other by people who abide by program, constitution and law of Allah faithfully. So called Muslims need to pay attention here that true followers of the Quran never attribute to Allah whatever harmful and destructive things people do to each other because they are not instructed by Allah to do so nor can they justify doing that to each other. If anything Allah stops people from doing terrible things to each other and instead tells them to do all they can to make life of each other blissful, dignified and secure. A clear proof that Allah never punishes people rather it is people themselves who by ignoring his guidance fall into all sorts of troubles with each other. The world is set-up by Allah in a particular way as explained by him and if people will ignore his guidance then they cannot avoid potential pitfalls that are part of life in this universe and if they will then they cannot blame God for it because it is their own ignorance or arrogance that leads them into troubles because after all human beings are creatures with ability to choose whatever they want to do or not to do. 161] The fact is, you and those whom you take or accept for your rulers other than Allah 162] can deceive none about Allah 163] save such as is hell bent on landing himself in hell of his own making. 164] O messenger tell them, there is none among us who has not been made aware of his God given rights against others and his God imposed responsibilities towards other by Our Creator and Sustainer, This verse is very clear that a Muslim has to be aware of message of Allah otherwise he cannot be aware of his rights against others and his responsibilities towards others. Such people can never bring about the kingdom Allah tells them to bring about because ignorant people do not know what to do or how to do it or why. This is a clear proof that a Muslim cannot afford to be stupid because stupid people cannot manifest glory of the way of life advised by Allah for ensuring well being of mankind. Rulers, money lenders and mullahs together have turned people of this ummah into ignorant fools. It is therefore time for ummah to wake up and get out of tricks and traps of ruling elite, money lending elite, priestly elite, their touts and supporters 165] that is why we have organised and regulated ourselves into ranks as a proper human community for fulfilling His mission 166] and we are surely a people who strive hard to manifest His glory through making obvious glory of His advised way of life for mankind for ensuring their well being. 167] Before this guidance was revealed in the form of the Quran these rejecters and opponents of it also used to say, 168] if we had received the message from Allah like the earlier people had received, 169] we will for sure have been a sincere people who acted upon guidance of Allah faithfully. 170] But now that this Quran has come to them for their guidance, they reject and oppose it but soon they will come to know the result of their such mindset, attitude and behaviour. 171] Regardless of their such a negative response We have already made clear to those whom We sent as Our messengers 172] that they will surely be supported 173] and that Our forces will surely overcome their opponents. 174] Therefore pay no attention to their nonsense 175] but instead watch them how they fare due to adopting the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other which they have chosen for themselves because in due course you will see their downfall as a crowd of people based upon harmful and destructive foundation as they will see your rise to power and glory as a proper human community due to following the way of life that you have been advised to adopt for ensuring your well being as a proper human community. 176] Do they still wish to hurry on the life of painful suffering they have been already warned against? 177] Dreadful will be that period of time when it will descend in the courtyards of those who have been warned about it already. 178] That is why you should pay no attention to their nonsense for now 179] because you will surely see their downfall just as soon they will see your rise to power and glory. 180] The set-up systems and laws are constantly at work to manifest power of your Creator and Sustainer Who is free of doing harmful and destructive things to mankind which they attribute to Him. Even natural disasters are predictable if people put their minds to it and wars are creations of people themselves. All problems that people see in this world they can overcome them if they work together day and night as a proper human community but instead they waste their time in creating fights with each other so as they carry on fighting with each other they lose track of things they are supposed to pay attention to so they end up destroyed by things that could bring them a lot of good had they learned to use them to their advantage. 181] This is why Our messengers always worked for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind to show 182] that sovereignty only belongs to Allah alone Who is Creator and Sustainer of all the people in the world. One should be able to see how this surah starts with missionary parties and ends with a warning for those who fail to respond positively to missionary parties. It is because the Quran keeps making clear the difference between two ways of life people choose to live by and the difference they make or can make to their lives. |
Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 38 SWAAD
This surah is named SWAAD which is a letter on its own. Arabic letter SWAAD is written in different ways using Roman symbols to make it sound like the Arabic original when read in English eg it is written as SAAD or SAUD or SUAD or SAWD or SOWD etc. This letter on its own is also a meaningful word or phrase or sentence or a complete saying or a complete explanation. It means a tree or plant or something like a tree or a plant in some sense. It means something that is like a tree or plant in sense of its roots or trunk or branches. It means something that is like a tree or plant in sense of its being or behaviour or use or purpose or what it does. It means its meanings cover all nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs etc related to it. It means it covers each and everything in some way connected to the tree or plant or has anything to do with a tree or plant in any way. A tree or plant has its fruit or wood or leaves etc. A tree is a living thing full of energy and life with juices flowing through it to keep it that way for as long as they can. A plant also can have thorns and bitter fruit or smelly flowers. A tree is defined as good or bad on basis of its usefulness or uselessness. A tree could be highly beneficial as well as could prove very damaging. All these facts help letter SWAAD to have very many meanings but which meaning/s is/are appropriate is decided by the context of use of it. A tree can mean a diagram, plan, program, explanation, flow chart, constitution, family tree etc. A tree could mean something that brings things together or unites them like roots feed the trunk. A tree could also mean something that branches things off into different directions like a people divide into different sects due to disagreements between themselves. For the very same reason tree could mean organisation of people into various groups for regulatory purposes. In all root based languages words end up having both negative as well as positive meanings due to various reasons and so does Arabic language. The Quran uses word SHAJARAH=tree for various reasons as explained already. It means an actual tree, code of conduct, way of life, infighting, dissention etc etc. This Surah is named SWAAD not because it uses letter SWAAD in it but due to its subject matter it contains which also makes clear what letter SWAAD means. The contents of this surah are also about social, political and economic problems so the context is all about proper management of people and resources for the good of a proper human community. Personal gains based life or living only for oneself at the expense of humanity is condemned. This surah explains very clearly as to what way of life based upon the teachings of the Quran means. There is no following of the Quran if its followers do not struggle for establishing a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of mankind wherein all people live in unity and peace for their own progress and prosperity as a proper human community. This is just the beginning goal but the higher goal is travelling throughout the universe and seeing how great the creator of this universe really is. All this is very, very long way away looking at the state of mentality of people in the world today. The world seems to be full of lazy and crazy people who cannot see anything beyond trying to enslave each other or sitting idle doing nothing much at all. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] SWAAD. We cite the Quran as a proof that it contains all the necessary information that mankind need to know for a way of life that can lead them to unity, peace, progress and prosperity. The Quran is proof that it is word of Allah because through its contents it proves so ie it contains such information that if it is put to test it will prove true. This information is about origin of universe, its purpose and the way it works. Not only that it also explains the purpose of creation of humanity and explains the way humans can make their world a paradise. All this has been explained already in detail elsewhere. As for letters in the beginning of some surahs they are of fundamental importance in the sense that without letters word cannot come about and without words things cannot be explained or communicated. Since Arabic language or for that matter any root based language heavily depend on meanings of its individual letters and particularly when those letters form into sets as roots from which are derived meaning full words and explanations. Unless one understands this foundational mechanism whereby such languages get their words and their vocabularies one cannot understand the scriptures based on them. Understanding of these letters keeps all meanings of words intact forever. They become more important because dictionaries cannot cover all their possible meanings as language is an ocean of words and meanings that has no bounds. For example, take letter AIN meaning eye then start expanding its meanings on basis of what eye is or what it does or what it can be used for otr how it works etc etc, one can see how just one single letter can have so many meanings. This is why in Arabic language words can have thousands of meanings and because a word can have thousands of meaning therefore we can also use thousand of words for just one thing. This is why there are many words for eye or camel or hand etc etc. All because each and everything has many qualities or properties or uses etc whereby it can be described. Moreover people who have very limited vocabulary cannot interpret the Quran consistently and coherently because it is a book from God and unless it was revealed in a living and flexible language it could not be understood properly by people because people are used to precise use of language for their daily living purposes. Their sense of language was not flexible enough to accommodate message of God. This is why by using root based language for his revelation God is telling us to look for meanings of word from his point of view for his purpose. However when people do not do things that way the Quran seems incoherent to them therefore they think it is a book that makes no sense therefore it cannot be revelation from God. To add insult to injury rulers, money lenders and mullahs add more layers of confusion to it and so things get bad to worse. Many people are busy debating whether the Quran is coherent or incoherent and all because they have not prepared themselves well for study of the Quran. The basic thing people need to do is to learn information for becoming aware of the foundation of human languages. The very basic question to ask is, what is origin of human language and how did it come about? The original human language was body language not words as we speak them today. As explained already in detail, people were used to using sign language just like babies who do not yet know how to use words to speak and express their ideas or concepts in their minds. A baby points to something thing with his hand and parents know what he wants and when his wish is carried out he shows he is happy. Just one hand signal says all what baby wanted to express without using a single word. This is the real original human language and this is what original sound based language and later writing language was founded upon as people began to relate sounds and symbols in due course. If we look at the alphabet set of Arabic or Hebrew we will see some letters have names like human body parts eg TAA=womb, RAA=head, SEEN=teeth, AIN=eye, FAA=mouth, KAAF=palm of hand, YAA=hand etc etc. These letters carry all the explanation within them which is intended by the user of these parts for whatever reasons. Other letters are also names of things eg ALIF=OX, BAA=tent, JEEM=camel, HAA=fence, DAAL=door, SWAAD=tree, TWAA=landmark, QAAF=monkey, LAAM=ox-goad, MEEM=water, NOON=fish, WOW=hook, HAA=window etc etc. When something had something to do with hand people used to use hand as a sign and later they related to it a sound as its sound code. This yet later gave them idea to relate pictures of things and sounds and that is how gradually came about speaking and writing of human language. It all developed from sign language. Unless one has good grasp of this basic information one cannot understand the message of God because word for word translations cannot express the ideas behind the words used in the revelation of God. This is one main reason why ignorance based translations of the scripture are all wrong because they ignore the fundamental part about understanding of the language itself. The second main reason for all translations of the scripture being wrong is that human beings do not possess the knowledge needed for knowing the message of God and if they do not know the language or how it works and do not learn to use it as it ought to be used then a lot of information in the message remains undiscovered because of lack of proper use of language by people. It is like somebody writes you a letter and you do not read most of it and think you know everything you need to know. This is why knowing all the possible meanings of words is absolutely necessary because we otherwise cannot figure out in which context God may be using the words of our human language to express his thoughts for us to know. After all just as we have some purpose in mind to do something God too must have a reason to reveal his message to us. This is why not only message of God must remain intact but also meanings of its words so that when we human sit down and think out what God is telling us we could find out. This is why a method or way of doing things must be discovered and employed before one sits down with the Quran and starts translating it. This work on the Quran is by no means a complete work but it is just an idea that can help people in the right direction for studying the Quran properly. Just knowing the Arabic language is not sufficient for interpreting the language of the Quran. This explanation should leave no doubt in the minds of thoughtful people as to why the Quran cannot be understood or interpreted properly using word for word method of translation. So any interpretation of the Quran which does not represent the actual message of the Quran is a suspect. The best man can do is give it a try and let God work his way through to minds of people this way. This explanation also contextualises the idea that to understand the Quran people need to know the Arabic of the time the Quran was revealed. This should not be taken the wrong way because otherwise it will mean the Quran is useless for the time and people to come. It is because there is no guaranty that Arabs of the time understood each and everything in the Quran and about the Quran properly. It will be factually wrong to think that way because people can see it right before their own eyes that humanity has made a lot of progress since that time and continues making progress and will continue doing so. A simple fact is no dictionary written to date by anyone contains all possible meanings of words used in the Quran and people are doing that as time goes on. The so called new meanings of the words of the Quran are not new at all they were always there but no one realised them till now and they were realised only due to progress humanity has made since the time of the revelation of the Quran. All human languages are based upon one and the very same original language and came down to us through our human ancestors just like ourselves. Had there been any breakage in the line of our ancestry, we will not be here today nor our languages. What we call this language or that language is only our geographically identified names due to branching out. If we start tracing our languages back to their ancestry, we will see more and more common words in them even in use today. All this has been explained in detail already but this is just a reminder. 2] Yet those who reject and oppose it adopt the way of life whereby they seek domination over each other by undermining each other which leads them to divisions and destructions by hands of each other. The Quran is questioning human approach to life for blissful, dignified and secure existence ie by basing their life on foundation of personal gains at the expense of each other how can they ever expect unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity? Rivals do not live in peace with each other instead they fight with each other and thereby stall progress of humanity which is absolutely necessary for prosperity of mankind. People cannot have a life of dignity without being self sufficient about their needs and wants. So people who think by competing against each other negatively they can bring about a better world wherein all people live in harmony with dignity are mentally not sound. Humanity has no choice but to come together for accomplishing goals set by the Quran according to its given guidelines or under the terms and conditions dictated by the Quran. This is the only way to life of harmony, prosperity and dignity. Only when people will come together and unite on this basis they will be able to make plans for handling things properly and work together to make that plan a success otherwise they cannot escape failures upon failures. 3] They should think about how many generations have We let destroy themselves by living this way before them due to similar mindsets, attitudes and behaviours? When their doom approached they all called out for guidance that could lead them to blissful, dignified and secure existence but they realised not that they have not given themselves sufficient time to do that so that they could escape the situation they had gotten themselves into. Word MANAAS is from root NOON, WOW and SWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is to run for safety in time of danger. Also to retrieve, to make a comeback, to pull back from something, to stop going any further and start going back, to repent and reform, to run, to run back, to move back from a position or place, to retreat, to go about, to move about, to make a move to get somewhere, to quietly run away, to run to some safe place, to look for a way out of trouble, to find a way out of trouble, to reverse or get ready to a situation, to flee, to ready oneself for action, to prepare oneself for some task, to move, to pull, to avoid, to escape from some danger, refuge, shelter, the act of escaping, place and time of escape, to evade, to side step, fish or ink or something like fish or ink in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, tree or plant or something like tree or plant in some sense etc etc. This verse is telling mankind don’t be stupid like earlier generations who kept going in the wrong direction following each other like sheep and got so far deep into troubles that when they woke up it was too late for them to stop and retreat and then restart to get out of the situation. This is why the Quran advises humanity for keeping its eyes and ears open at all times for changing direction when things seem to be going the wrong way. They are supposed to remain focused on the goals and monitor their progress as well as to be ready for taking corrective actions if necessary for safe journey towards the goal. 4] All that happened to those people because they also thought it strange like these people that a warner from Us should come to them from among themselves just an ordinary human being just like themselves and that is why the rejecters and opponents of Our guidance said about him whoever came to them just as these people say about you, he is just a trickster telling lies. This like verses are repeated in the Quran telling us what people expected from God and what they actually got from God. A gap is very clearly identified and explained who is right and who is wrong and why. These verses are clear proof that Quran is not a religious book nor is Islam a religion. Only religions promote nonsense dogmas and blind faith as well as useless rituals. The Quran is all about humanity and resources and their management by people themselves according to guidance provided to them by Allah. The fact is management of mankind and resources is such a vast task that people have no time to waste in religious nonsense. The more time people waste in religious nonsense the more and more people get into more and more troublesome life. This is like your family is sitting hungry and you are running after people and things that cannot provide you with livelihood. Instead if you have anything they are looking for opportunity to take it away from you. Watch funny holy men on youtube etc from each and every religion and sect and how they make fools of their own people. Poor people empty their pockets to them looking for easy solutions to their real life problems that are in actual fact related to mismanagement of people and resources by rulers and bankers because behind these people are groups of mafias in form of politicians, money lenders and priests including faith healers and spiritualists etc etc. For example, begging in streets is a huge business in poor countries and the case is similar about other things. This is why getting education and thinking rationally is very important and that is what the Quran keeps telling humanity. The real people of God are those who educate you so that you cannot be fooled and that you yourself should not fool others. This is why these people told people upfront that they are ordinary people with no supernatural powers. All they did was educate people and that is because that is what God sent them for. If they wanted to trick them then like many others they too could have joined the gang to use them abusively instead of leading them out of traps set by enemies of humanity. 5] What! Does he want us to give up all our Gods for one God of his choice? That will be something impossible for him to make us agree upon. This verse tells how dominant people conspire and fool people in their communities into accepting them as their chiefs or rulers etc. They are always at forefront of pushing themselves forward like Iblees did at the time of Adam. All this because they want to keep their position of power or create one for themselves. They start with doing some works to show simple minded people they are concerned about them and once they gain power then they use it to gain control over them to use them abusively for their own ends. They bring aboard blood suckers who make fool of masses on their behalf and get in return some bones. Today public relations business has replaced them but they do exactly the same job or play the very same role. However masses need to realise that truly community spirited people can only be those who are based upon foundation needed for a proper human society. All others are after personal gains at their expense and are lying to them masses to fool them. It is because you cannot have a proper human community if you are based upon ideology of personal gains at the expense of each other which does not let come about a proper human community. God to them is just a useless name sake fellow up in the sky and they are Gods down here on the earth for the unfortunate that fall under their sway or into their drip. They give each and everything or people just token importance for their own purpose. Once their need has been served then people or things are discarded like a used tissue paper. 6] That is how the chiefs of those people walked away from Our guidance just like chiefs of these people and said to their supporters, pay no attention to what he says instead remain firmly committed to serving your Gods, this is indeed a plot against you the people to take over you. This is just their trick to frightening masses about their opponent by portraying him as a some sort of very dangerous monster when the actual fact is they are the ones who are real monsters in human forms due being based on the way of life founded upon personal gains at the expense of each other, which makes them crush the weaker section of their community under their feet. Everything they say or do is merely tokenism to make a show of it before masses and then back to their own normal mindset, attitude and behaviour they return. 7] We have not heard such a thing from any of our people of late generation, so it is nothing but a self invented idea of this man who claims to be sent by our Creator and Sustainer. It is true that living for each other is a very strange idea for those who want to keep all things under their own lock and key because that is the only way they feel a little secure. As explained already these people make peoples’ minds up for them by indoctrinating them about people who are supposed to come from God by telling them people who come from God they are superhuman being not ordinary people like me and you because they are sent by God and God being God and so powerful how can he send anyone like us ordinary human beings? This is how they fool masses into believing something unbelievable. This is why when any messenger came from Allah they said to him you cannot be a messenger form God because you are just ordinary human being like us. This wasted a lot of time of God’s messenger in trying to explains thing to them but many still remained unconvinced due to being indoctrinated beyond rescue. 8] Is he the only fit person among us all to whom Allah has sent His guidance? The fact is, due to their ignorance based arrogance they are in doubt about the truth of My guidance but that is because they have not yet reached the terrible state of painful suffering by hands of each other like people of old which could make them see and understand the need for this guidance. Yes, he is the only appropriate person for leadership position of a proper human community because he truly cares for humanity that is why he tells people to unite and be a family of people caring for each other and sharing things with each other. No hoarding and harming and destroying each other. No masters and no slaves, no kings and no subjects, just brethren working hard to ensure none of them sleeps hungry and thirsty without any shelter and care. The Quran keeps telling people these people cannot be your friends because they use you abusively for their own personal gains at your expense so how can you people be so senseless that you cannot understand the truth even that much. However if they do not listen to sense then whatever they believe comes to haunt them when outcomes of their thoughts and actions knock on their doors in due course. By then it is already too late to run for cover so they end up in a situation they think will never face them. 9] However ask them, without this guidance of your Creator and Sustainer the granter of bounties could they have easy access to the treasures of blissful, dignified and secure existence as a people? They try their best to control people and resources but they cannot be in total control of things so they cannot do so. However they do whatever they can which is why the world is the way it is ie full of divisions, rivalries, animosities and hate based wars. They want to reach sky high but they cannot because they are busy with pulling each other by their legs making sure all fall into the ditch of hell of their own making. 10] Or could they have easy access to the management of the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that lies in between them for ensuring their own well being? If so, let them rise to that level of capacity by any means other than Our guidance to be able to do so. This verse is challenging power hungry people that if you are really powerful then show that you control the heavens and the earth. The idea is that they cannot because systems and laws set-up by Allah keep them well in their set limits. The idea is that if any person wants to be on the top of all others then someone else also has the very same ambition and desire and that is so obvious from how people try to dominate and undermine each other due to rivalries between them. Under this state of affairs none can conquer the universe. Because all this needs unity between all people so that they get enough mental and physical work force to be able to conquer the universe. The Quran is the only book that can help humanity conquer the universe because that is what Allah has created mankind for. This is why when man will accept Allah is sole ruler of this universe he will get access to travelling throughout the universe otherwise it remains a very distant dream. 11] Their garrison is no more than an army of rival factions who will be beaten right here on this earth by each other due to living by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. Word MAHZOOM is from root HAA, ZAA and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to use force on something brittle or tough to such degree that is breaks down. Also to crumble, to collapse, to kick in, to injure, to etch, to write into, to dig into, to search, to look for, to kill, to fall down, to defeat, to vanquish, to rob someone of his rights, to break, to decompose, to disperse, to let spread, to let break down, to become broken, to put to flight, to collapse under pressure or force, to cause to break down, depression, roll of thunder, disaster, catastrophe, calamity, lowland, a defeated army, breaking down of relationship or friendship, breaking down or collapsing of talks between two opposing groups, crevice, dent, groove, crack, emaciated animals, rumbling of thunder, breaking down of a bow, window or something like window in some sense, weapon or tool or instrument or something like weapon or tool or instrument in some sense etc etc. People who are divided and fighting each other cannot take on bigger tasks because they have no time for it the while they are wasting their time and energy on fighting each other for no reason at all other than seeking domination over each other by undermining each other instead of cooperating. Such people cannot defeat God, can they? On the other hand people can take over universal management role one day in actual fact if they come together on basis of the Quran because God himself will guide them there where he wants them to be. What a big difference in two approaches to life. People who will live by guidance of Allah will one day manage his universe but those who will oppose his guidance will forever remain confused and even they will keep on destroying each other along the way. It is because when your foundation is wrong you will end up damaged or destroyed by fighting the very people who are your supporters due to conflict of interests. This is why KUFAAR can never become one people ever nor can they do such big things as are put forth as a challenge for them by the Quran. Even those things which KUFAAR succeed in doing they do so by adopting the way of the Quran ie they cooperate with each other to that degree at least. So even if KUFAAR have to adopt what is told by the Quran to do what they do then why not accept the whole things and get everything done sooner rather than later and after a lot of painful suffering? 12] Just like people before them who refused living by Our advised way of life, such as people of Noah, people of Aad and people of Pharaoh- the man who controlled his people by setting upon them his chiefs- Word OWTAAD is from root WOW, TAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that acts as an anchor for something in some way. Also something that holds things in their exact places or positions or ranks as a unit or system or mechanism, something that binds things together as a unit in some way for some reason, to stick, to glue, to hook, to rise up through something and set or settle in position or place, to link, to connect, to pin, to tie, to protect, to support, to bind, to stab, to bury, to drive something into something, to injure by stabbing or binding, to cut into something, to jab into, to pitch, to anchor, to drive a tent pin or a tent peg into the ground, to tie a ship to the anchor to stop it from moving from its position or place in the sea, a peg pushed into the ground to hold other things tied to it in place, to tie a camel to the peg in the ground or tree trunk or branch, an anchor or mass or weight, or stake, nail, anchors of human societies or communities, leaders that rise from the down trodden masses with their support, tether pin, mountains, chiefs, influential people, top part of a tree or something that is firmly rooted into the ground as well, hook or something like hook in some sense, womb or something like womb in some sense, door or something like door in some sense etc etc. 13] as well as Thamood people, the people of Lot and those of Aiykah, all of them divided themselves into factions on basis of petty personal gains at the expense of each other and ended up destroyed by hands of each other. 14] All of those who had been destroyed by hands of each other in the past refused to live by Our advised way of life Our messengers told them that is how they turned Our forewarning into a reality for themselves instead of accepting Our guidance and avoiding the course of actions that led them there where they ended up. 15] Likewise these chiefs and their supporters are also waiting for nothing other than a single call for uprising by masses, which when it comes in due course if they continue this course of actions none will be able to delay or stop from happening. These verse keep telling mankind that there is only and only one way to live life properly and that is clearly told in the Quran and people should learn it properly and follow it faithfully. Any other course of actions in due course is bound to land people into all sorts of troubles and ultimately into their own destruction by hands of each other. All because personal gains based way of life at the expense of each other has only and only one outcome and that is division, rivalry, hatred and war that leads to painful suffering and ultimately to destruction of human population after human population. 16] Yet despite rejecting and opposing Our guidance and setting themselves upon the road to destruction by hands of each other they say as individuals, our Creator and Sustainer, bestow upon us our share of luxuries of life in a quick succession and that way make us meet the day of honour and glory among our down trodden masses. Word AJJIL is from root AIN, JEEM and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to do something in such a hurry that it remains incomplete. Also to be quick, to be in a hurry, to try to be fast, to wish or try to have or do something before its due time, to have or do something before its due time, to end up with something defective or flawed or incomplete in a hurry, to have an abortion, to end up with a miscarriage in case of a pregnancy, to up with ripe fruit before its due time, to have an appetiser before proper or full meal, to be in a haste, to rush or to be in a rush, to drive off before passengers get into a vehicle or on a camel, to take a short cut, to take the fast route or path or road to a destination, to hurry for personal gains at the expense of others, to do something quickly and efficiently, to speed up the development or progress or growth, to follow a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other, to live for oneself, to be greedy, to despatch, to execute something quickly, to be miserly, to speed up, to give in advance, to hurry up or cause to hurry up, to hurry away from something leaving it unfulfilled, to urge on to hurry up, to cause to come before others, to make one come ahead of something or before due time, to arrive before due time, to expedite, to be jealous, to envy, to be rival, to hold grudges, to be biased, wheel, something that is round or circular or cyclic, camel litter or hawdaj, a palm tree ladder, to have prejudices against, to look for quick gains, to be short sighted, to have little or no concern for future, to be short termist, to be opportunist, to take a chance or risk, dust or soil or earth or clay, to be foolish, to be mischievous, to be ignorant, to be simple minded, to keep an eye on something, watchtower, guardian, to spy, to rely upon something, seat of power or authority or status or wealth, calf, something full of energy and life, young or youth, a short written record or program or guidance or instruction or account for a quick reminder, eye or something like eye in some sense, camel or something like camel in some sense, ox-goad or something like ox-goad in some sense etc etc. Word QITT is from root QAAF, TWAA and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a written record about something. Also edge of a cliff, rim of a roof, enough, sufficient, share, provision, sustenance, lot, to cut down something in width, to cut width of something short, to cut something quickly or fast, to cut something according to some specification, to cut something down to size, to down size, to bring someone to book, to hold accountable, to make one face the consequences of one’s thoughts or actions, to distribute, to deliver, to share, to provide with, to cut off, to separate, to divide, to deliver to one one’s due, to hand over something due to someone fast or quick, to snip, to clip, to rip, to abate, to put an end to, to make void, to reduce, to decease, to terminate, to stop, to diminish, to suppress, to annul, to decease value or power or worth or amount or quantity or quality or importance of something, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, landmark or something like landmark in some sense etc etc. This verse is a very powerful slap on faces of those who do not go through message of Allah to understand it properly and to follow it faithfully and instead do everything harmful and destructive to each other and yet assume they are serving the will of their creator and sustainer therefore they look for favours from Allah in form of honour and glory before their very victims. The question is, h how did they end up with their this sort of mentality? Due to mullahs who twisted everything about God from God on its head. A clear condemnation of religious nonsense invented by mullahs to fool people into thinking a few make beliefs and some nonsense and useless rituals are enough when it comes to serving the will of God. Allah is talking about community or building throughout the Quran surah after surah yet people are ignoring all that and going after what their mullahs tell them as if they have no brains and senses themselves even to see and think this much on their own. Whole day religious people sit and pray to God whereas they are supposed to know his will by reading and understanding his message to them. It has all the answers for their prayers and questions and answers which help people learn sense. People cannot build a proper human community worth the name till they have educated each other about what a proper human community is and how it can be brought about through cooperation and support of each other. People need at least two main things a)solid foundation as provided by God in the Quran and b)skills and training needed for works involved in this whole community building thing to make things happen. That is people need to cooperate and divide tasks between themselves and then work hard complementing each other to fulfil them and that is the way to bringing about a proper human community and that is the way it will come about. After bringing about such a community they must also know all they will need to maintain it otherwise as soon as it comes about it will also fall apart. All this proves beyond a shadow of doubt the Quran is book of deen not mazhab. This is why ummah must learn the Quran as such and not as a teaching by religious mad mullahs. Islam is not a mazhab but a deen according to the contents of the Quran in its proper context. Yet some people are so foolish therefore are so sure of their nonsense make beliefs based upon their blind faith in them that they just say anything to prove they are right or someone else is wrong. They have no idea that proof is all about arguing one’s claim with irrefutable evidences put forth in a form of perfect explanation rather than turning to make beliefs, superstition, myths and mysteries. The idea that if we will believe in God then we will end up in paradise or if we will believe God is one then we will end up in paradise and whole lot of other nonsense found in dogmas and doctrines of various religions is all a big waste of time. The message of God is very clear if people will educate themselves about it. The Quran is full of stories of people who ended up destroying themselves because of nonsense make beliefs they held which misled them and destroyed them by hands of each other due to their own foolishness. The Quran throughout talks about people whom Allah guided and they followed his guidance rather than going after their make beliefs and wasting of their time in carrying out useless rituals. In fact it is these nonsense make beliefs and useless rituals invented and adopted by people that upset the messengers of Allah the most. That is because they made them not to use their brains and show they are human beings and that is why in the end these people ended up being treated as less than human beings by each other. This is where religious nonsense leads in the end ie into ditch of disgrace and humiliation wherein some become masters of others whom they turn into their slaves and treat them worse than animals, which shows they deserve to be there because they did not make proper use of God given brains, senses, bodies, things and guidance. If people visit places in the world today, they will see poverty is ripe in the world. Some people are turning most of humanity into animals in jungle and the surprising thing is a whole lot of them are religious not bothered to learn and try to come together to get out of this situation. Humans are special creatures who can fall and get out of awkward situations if they put their minds to it. This is why message of the Quran needs to be taken up for its purpose it was revealed. 17] O Prophet, be steadfast and courageous in the face of what these people of yours express in form of their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours and share with them the story of Our man David, the man who showed how capable he was and all because he always used to turn to Our guidance to see what he needed to accomplish and how. 18] We surely through Our guidance made highly capable and influential people work with him in order to manifest glory of Our advised way of life for them by working hard from morning till night When some people understand guidance of Allah properly and help others understand it properly who wish to learn about it then people come together as a proper human community that is then ready for establishing the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah to ensure well being of mankind. When the kingdom comes about thereafter expansion takes place yet faster because of highly motivated, organised and regulated community of people that is fully dedicated and committed to the mission assigned to it by Allah. 19] along with highly motivated, organised and regulated work force that gathered around him. All joined together for accomplishing Our assigned mission for ensuring well being of mankind as a proper human community. Word AWWAAB is from root ALIF, WOW and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a ditch in which running water collects. Also place to which people return, legs or something like legs in some sense for some reason, to push legs backwards forcefully when running to move ahead or forward with speed, to run fast in some direction right or wrong, to travel throughout the day and take a rest at night, wind that blows whole day, to return, to come back or make a comeback, to retreat or retrace one’s steps backwards, to refer to something for some reason, to stay or stay put, to become stationary, to stop, to remain or make a stay, to hide, a hiding place or refuge or shelter, a safe place to stay, an idea that leads to safety or ensures security, the one who moves fast towards guidance of Allah for guidance, to turn to some reference point for purpose of ensuring correctness of one’s ideas or actions, to repeat something in some sense, to be swift, to be agile, custom, tradition, rule of law, to echo, to support, to back up, to come or go, to repent and reform, to stop doing something wrong and start doing something right, one who strongly enumerates, obedient, submissive, final abode or destination, to turn to final abode, stick or something like stick in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, house or tent or something like house or tent etc etc. 20] We strengthened his kingdom based upon Our guidance by giving him knowledge about managing the kingdom and thereby ability to decide matters properly. In these verses the Quran is telling mankind what kind of people the Quran wants them to be so that they could bring about kingdom based upon guidance of Allah and maintain it otherwise there is no chance for mankind to live in peace and prosper. 21] Has the news of parties based upon mutual rivalries and animosities reached you because at the time they crossed all the limits and were ready to jump into the war zone with each other? 22] At the time when they came to David because he was worried about them so they said to him worry not about us, we are two parties who are fighting with each other because one party has wronged the other therefore solve the dispute between us according to rights and responsibilities as set forth in the book of Allah and not on basis other than that and that way guide us to the path that is proper for solving disputes and problems or difficulties. The main thing to realise is that law in itself is not important but the context in which law is brought into existence and used. What decide context of law? The goals for which people gather into a people or people are gathered into a people. If the goals are worthy goals then law is also a worth law but if the goals are a disgrace then law too is nothing but a disgrace. What does that mean? It means if people gather together on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other then law is going to regulate a human society that way. On the other hand if people aim for becoming a proper human community then they need a law that is consistent with that goal so that it could regulate people towards that end as a society or community. Therefore one is a jungle rule that is adopted by humanity all over the world. It is because it is based upon power pyramid scheme or dog eat dog world idea which leads to power struggle between people and so whoever can get anyone or anything gets it. In this scheme of things each and every person has to act as a predator and that is why a lot of people end up being victimised by each other in different ways. The problem is that people want to live this way yet complain against it as well when it is they who themselves become victims of it, why? Because they are stupid as they have not yet learned sense they need to have so that they do not live their lives this way. Human beings are created with brains who are capable of modifying their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours to a great extent and this is what makes human being different from the rest of the creatures. This is why with a little bit of guidance from their creator they can learn and adopt a way of life that is revealed for them by God for the purpose of their peaceful existence. This is why this way of life is called deen of Islam ie a way of life which if understood properly and followed faithfully can lead mankind to unity, peace, progress and prosperity. This is how the Quran sets goals for mankind to accomplish and provides them with guidelines to accomplish them according to those guidelines. This is why the Quran challenges mankind that if you can bring about any way of life better than the one suggested by the Quran then go ahead and bring it about but you cannot, why not? Because mankind are like babies before wisdom of God and they cannot think that far ahead unless prompted. This is why the Quran prompts mankind to think and learn throughout providing them with cues. It is like we give our children toys and jigsaw puzzles etc to help them learn things by way of interaction with them. The same is happening to us ie we interact with real world realities and with the revelation of God and discover things for ourselves. Once our learning has reached the stage needed for creating a world God wants us to create for ourselves then we will start doing that. However till we learn things to that degree, the world will continue to be a hell hole that we humans make it due to our ignorance based interaction with each other. 23] This man is my brother and he has ninety-nine parts of the fertile land while I have only one part of the fertile land. Yet he forces me saying, turn it over to me and he has the means to carry out what he says against me. Word TISUN is from root TAA, SEEN and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is something of highest value. Also nine, two nines, more than two nines, 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, something most valuable or worth most, basket, coffin, chest, ark, boat, ship, container, box, watchtower, to hold fast on to something, to grip something tightly, to guard, to keep an eye upon something, to spy, to see, to cry, to be in tears, to help or support, to aid or assist, something or someone sharp in some sense, intelligent, clever, to be aware of things, something that contains everything needed for some purpose, new life, a new civilisation, fruit, result, outcome, , tradition, something to hold onto, handle, spring, stream, river, sea, ocean, to examine, to scrutinise, the sum total of this world, devil, snake, something that thinks and does what harms or destroys, womb or something like womb in some sense, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, eye or something like eye in some sense etc etc. Word NAAJAH is from root NOON, AIN and JEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is considered highly valuable that gives one sense of security or pride or domination or control. Also to seek things that give one sense of security in some way or position of control or power or authority or dominance over others in some way, a piece of fertile land, sheep, goat, antelope or white antelope, mountain goat, ewe, gazelle, camel, something beautiful, something coloured or painted beautifully, something with good skin colouring, a makeover, make up, transformation of something in some sense, a beautiful human or an animal or a thing, wealth or property, treasure, something that gets fat, something that expands in some sense, a water animal, something balanced in some way, a water source, well or spring or river or sea or ocean, watchtower, someone influential, someone or something that has widespread good or bad reputation, soft or even piece of land, a piece of land that suits cultivation or farming, a person suitable for education or training, someone who could be cultivated or civilised, someone who educates or trains or cultivates, a teacher or leader or guardian, to spy, to lookafter, to be energetic or active or lively, to be durable or lasting, to reform, to mend, to change something in some way, to be able act as a foundation or an anchor, to be able to carry burden or responsibility, beast of burden, to help or aid or assist or support, generations of things or people, family tree, plan of action, constitution, fish or ink or something like fish or ink in some sense, eye or something like eye in some sense, camel or something like camel in some sense etc etc. Word KHITAAB is from root KHAA, TWAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a matter of concern. Also a situation or an issue or affair, a state of affairs, a matter or a dealing an undertaking, a business of some sort, something of importance, an engagement of some sort, to address, to show concern for something in some sense, to converse, to discuss or debate, to decide an issue clearly, to give clear verdict in a case, to judge a matter wisely, to deal with or talk to, to have two different or distinct colours, to speak publicly or in public, a deliver a speech or sermon or lecture, to propose for marriage to a woman, to speak on behalf of, a marriage proposal, to have a discourse, to plead or intercede, to advocate or intervene, something that is cause of concern, some sort of trouble or ailment or hardship or difficulty, an argument or dispute, some sort of barrier, family or support or following, tradition or custom, a reference point or point of reference, a guide or leader, a shelter or sanctuary or refuge, fence or something like fence in some sense, landmark or something like landmark in some sense, house or something like house in some sense etc etc. This is a similar story to that told in surah 5 AL-MAAIDAH about children of Adam fighting each other over who should be master and who should be slave. He who controls land and resources and means of production and distribution controls the lives of all. This is why people need to wake up and not let dominant people become Gods of the world with their support or staying silent against them. Otherwise days are not far when tyrants will take over the world with support of like minded people and those who are silent today will be gotten rid of by them soon after or they will be put through hell through use and abuse. This is why people must educate themselves properly and keep the world safe from all such systems and practices of living which are dangerous for mankind. People need to be sensible themselves and they must choose sensible way of life for themselves as well as such people from among themselves who manage people and resources properly to help growth and development of humanity so that all members of human community could realise their hidden potentials fully, which will only help mankind themselves through contributions of such capable people. 24] David said, he has certainly wronged you in seeking to add your fertile piece of land to his pieces of fertile land, in fact most of the contractual partners regardless in whatever type of contract they are bound together, they transgress against one another because they do things on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other except those who are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind because they work on basis of development and growth of proper human community, however such people are only a minority. David was able to see and decide this matter this way because he knew full well that We had surely put him through struggle for success of Our mission so that His Creator and Sustainer secures him and his people and that is why he bent or moulded or modelled himself according to Our guidance by keep referring to it always. Word KHULATAAI is from root KHAA, LAAM and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a mixture of things. Also masses, common people, base people, public, down trodden, rejects of society, lower caste or class, partnership, partners, party or partisan, husband, cousin, neighbour, the four humours, a component of something in some sense, part of a larger group, an associate, kinsfolk, business associates, a colleague, a work mate, a fellow worker, to mix or mix with, to blend, to intermingle, to associate, to be familiar with, to confuse, to combine with, to join with, to become mixed with, to join something with something in some way or become joined with something in some way, to become ideological associates, to become of similar mindset or attitude or behaviour, to have intercourse, to be a child of parents who are not married to each other, a relationship not based upon solid foundation, to mixed up deen of Islam with religious ideas or baseless beliefs, to mix up good ideas or actions with bad ones, to give life to something by mixing something with something, fence or something like fence in some sense, ox-goad or something like Ox-goad in some sense, landmark or something like landmark in some sense etc etc. 25] This is how We secured him against disputes of that kind among his people. That is why for him there was honourable place with Us so what a beautiful outcome that was for him! 26] We said, O David! We have raised you as a manager in the kingdom you have established with help of your people based upon Our guidance, so manage matters regarding people and resources wisely according to Our guidelines for accomplishing Our goals and follow not any anything baseless that comes to your mind against that because that will lead you away from the way of life advised by Allah. As for those who stray from the way of life advised by Allah for them there is only life of painful suffering because they pay no attention to Our set-up systems and laws that make them face the consequences of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. These verses explain what justice actually is. Justice is not just deciding a matter according to a set law but here the actual law itself is under question whether it is just to begin with or not. Anyone can make any law and then start deciding matters according to it but that does not serve justice till law itself passes the test that it is just and fair and serves the set goals and that the set goals themselves are proper. This is why Islamic shariah=law based upon the guidelines of the Quran is only that which meets the set Quranic standard or criterion. That means the law in the name of Allah must be consistent with goals set by the Quran and the goals must be beneficial for mankind. Any goal that harms or lead mankind to destruction is not a Quranic set goals nor is any law that leads humanity to harm and destruction a Quran based or Islamic law. Mullahs can make all the noise they like, they cannot prove anything Quranic which is not in the Quran and it is their own invention for their own purposes. One can see clearly in the story of David here how Allah explained what government in his kingdom is supposed to be like. It is based upon guidance of Allah and support of people. It is not a democratically elected majority government by the people for the people but a government of Allah that is managed by people put in place by ummah unanimously. Both management of the kingdom and the people of the kingdom are under direct rule of law of Allah. This is why it is not people or institutions but the constitution and the law of Allah that is supreme. Management must keep in check the people of the kingdom by ensuring they are doing what they are supposed to do and people of the kingdom must keep in check the management administration of the kingdom by ensuring they are doing what they are supposed to do. The detail of how all this is supposed to work out exactly has been explained already. Majority rule by way of democracy is better than dynastic imperialism no doubt but only if it is fully transparent and fully effective otherwise establishment in a country can rule people through a false impression of democracy. However democracy is no match for rule based upon guidance of Allah because it is a fully transparent and effect way of managing people and resources taking well being of all people seriously not just majority. Even in a multi party based democracy people divide into many parties and due to simple majority rule, they end up with a rule by minority. That is because the party with most seats wins the right to take over the government. First party may win 5% seats, the second may win 10%, the third 15%, the forth 20%, the fifth 22 and the sixth 28%. To form the government the party with 28% seats needs supports from other parties to form a majority government. That means none of the parties get what they want from the government and because the government is by different parties working as one if anything goes wrong between them which stops them from working together then government is bound to fall. Not a very stable way to run a country. This is why rule of Allah in his kingdom is best solution for mankind but only if people become educated enough about it to be able to understand it properly and implement it faithfully to be able to turn it into a reality. The best way of life is very demanding in its own way and that is why people have not got it yet because they have not yet reached that level of thinking whereby they could fully self regulate themselves in light of guidance of Allah. 27] We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that lies in between them for no purpose at all. To think that the universe has no purpose to its creation is conjecture of those who reject and oppose Our guidance. Bad news for those who refuse to study and accept Our guidance that they will keep on ending up in fire of hell that is ignited and kept alight by themselves. Word BAATILAA is from root BAA, TWAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is something unfounded. Also something that proves false or untrue or unreal in some sense be it an idea or action or thing therefore it cannot stand the test of time or place or situation or working conditions or examination or scrutiny, something that does not work when put to the test, a useless or flawed explanation or component or thing, something that is not fit for the time or place or purpose or situation or circumstances, falsehood, useless, worthless, unworkable, defect, fault, flaw, contradictory, conflicting, something that cannot be true for one or another reason, something that is not lasting or durable or tough, something that lacks ability to survive, something that does not have what it takes to survive or continue to remain in existence, something that is harmful or destructive, something that is lost or is gone, something very limited in its survival, something that exists only for a short time, something that gives little or no sense of security at all, something that does not fit a solid or proper criterion, something vain, something opposite of truth or HAQQ, something opposite of strong or weak, darkness, ignorance, something inconsistent, something not constant, something lacking continuity, some thought or action that produces harmful and destructive outcome or result, some idea or action that leads to harmful or destructive end, some idea or action that leads people to division or rivalry, animosity or hatred or wars, vanity, void, futile, idleness, to nullify, to be idle, to become undone, to appear as false, to come to nothing, to cause to be ineffectual, to prove false, something that has no purpose or use, something aimless, the one who follows falsehood, the one who works in vain, house or something like house in some sense, landmark or something like a landmark in some sense, ox-goad or something like ox-goad in some sense etc etc. 28] Should Our set-up system and laws treat those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind like those who commit to working for divisions, rivalries, animosities and igniting fires of hatred that lead to fights and wars in the world between mankind? Should they treat those who are constructive and consistent with Our guidance for ensuring well being of mankind same as those who are against Our guidance and inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other? 29] This book which We have sent for you the mankind is full of all kinds of information for ensuring your well being in every way so that you ponder over its lessons for your own unity, peace, progress and prosperity as a proper human community and therefore you strive hard to spread its message among yourselves to accomplish its assigned goals according to its provided guidelines, O you the people who have learned sense to understand things properly. Word YADDABBAROO is from root DAAL, BAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is the other end of something in some sense. Also conclusion, gist, result, outcome, consequences, to plan, to organise, to arrange, to prepare, to draw a conclusion, to have the final say after completing detailed study of something in some sense, to form an opinion about opinion after knowing about it, to manage, to govern, to run something, to execute, to contemplate, to ponder over deeply, to examine or scrutinise carefully, to depart, to go away, to die, to boycott, to isolate, to break off relationship with, to confine, to imprison, to fence round something, to understand something in complete detail, to comprehend, to turn down, to turn one’s back on, back, the backside, the bottom of something, the root of something, the bottom end of something, chief, to hang on to something, to think out ways and means to something, to protect or secure, to provide with shelter or sanctuary, buttocks, the tail end, to meditate, to think deeply into something for making sense of it or to understand it in some sense, to open up ways and means to some end, to retreat, to recede, to retrace one’s steps back to where one came from, to look back into things, to re-examine something repeatedly, to keep going back and forth over something to make sense of it, setting , fading, moving away, root, origin, the last part, the end part, at the end, closely after, to look for origin of something, to go back to one’s roots, to go back to foundation one stands upon, to look up one’s family tree, to examine something for its origin or purpose, door or something like door in some sense, house or tent or something like house or tent in some sense, head or something like head in some sense etc etc. 30] For the same reason in due course We blessed David with Solomon, who was a faithful follower of Our guidance. He constantly turned to Our message for guidance always. 31] Behold, one day before the end of the day, excellent-bred steeds of his cavalry were put on show before him- Word SAAFINAAT is from root SWAAD, FAA and NOON.

Word HIJAAB is from root HAA, JEEM and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to cover. Also to influence, to take into care, to shield, to erect a fence, to stop something from happening or taking place, to order to stop someone from doing something, to put an obstacle in the way of something, to block the way of something in some sense, to put up a barrier, to make a wall, to protect, to provide with a hiding place or refuge or shelter or sanctuary, to veil, to screen, to seclude, to prevent, to disappear, to vanish, to become invisible, to shut off, to exclude, to debar, to hide, to make something disappear or invisible to see, to put some sort of cover over something for reason, to cover up something for some reason, some idea or thing that is used for purpose of HIJAAB, the part of the sun or the moon that becomes visible first when they start appearing or becoming visible, the part of something that appears first to the one looking at something, eyebrow, doorkeeper, curtain, fence or something like fence in some sense, camel or something like camel in some sense, house or tent or something like house or tent etc etc. In these verses Allah is explaining how sincere and sensible people model their lives around his guidance objectively. They try their best to look at each and everything in light of the set goals and provided guidelines by Allah for ensuring well being of mankind. The main thing in their sight is assigned mission of Allah for mankind because that is of utmost importance for them to accomplish because without the advised way of life by Allah mankind have no future and mankind can only know about it if it is made obvious for them. Since for ensuring well being of mankind there is need for a proper human community or ummah and a kingdom therefore spreading of message of Allah widely and being prepared for any hateful reaction by those who consider this message a danger for their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. If a people oppress and suppress each other then someone has to stop them from doing so therefore the need for having a capable force at hand to deal with any such situation that may arise in course of duty. The force serves no other purpose in context of deen of Islam because way of life advised by Allah is logically consistent and cannot be refuted rationally. Moreover no one needs to fight against it because it is for ensuring the well being of all. However people with harmful and destructive desire and ambition for dominating others by undermining them consider this as act of war against them but they refuse to see the truth that it is they who are declaring war against humanity by forcing people to live by their ways of life instead of the way of life advised by Allah because their ways of life benefit them at the expense of all the rest. In order to hide the actual truth from masses they try to propagate all kinds of nonsense against the deen of Islam through their mullahs and other touts and agents. This is why it is necessary for masses to educate themselves in order to see how such like people trick them to keep them under their thumbs. This is why to free such bonded people is not easy and unless their is an ummah and it has a powerful kingdom to deal with people of this nature who are real enemies of deen of Allah as well as humanity. 33] Bring them back to me, he said to people responsible for them. So when they were brought back to him he began to stroke their legs and necks with affection. Word TAFIQ is from root TWAA, FAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to remain at it.

The purpose of use of force according to deen of Islam is not to take over a land of a people to enslave them but to help them to become free from oppression and suppression so that they could live their lives in a better way by removing the obstacles in their way which stop them from living their lives properly. It is just a matter of explaining to people what deen of Allah is and if they like it then none has the right to stop them from living by it. If anyone uses force to so then such force must be dealt with by force if need be. Deen of Islam demands that people live in unity and harmony for their peace, progress and prosperity as a proper human community and all obstacles in their way must be removed need be by use of force. 35] He said, my Creator and Sustainer! Grant me and my supporters blissful, dignified and secure existence in a kingdom based upon your guidance like of which is not granted to any people who distance themselves from the way of life with which You have sent me. Surely You are bestower of way of life that can lead mankind to unity, peace, progress and prosperity if they understand it properly and follow it faithfully. 36] It is because We gave him abilities to learn things so he used those abilities to learn things including controlled use of wind power according to his needs therefore his ships sailed gently in whichever direction he decided for his ships to sail, Word RUKHAAIN is from root RAA, KHAA and WOW.

Word ASFAAD is from root SWAAD, FAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is a linking mechanism that puts things together in some way for some purpose. Also a piece of thread that is used for holding beads together, shackles, thongs, to give freely, a piece of thread that is put through the eye of the needle for sewing or embroidery, a metal chain where by captives or slaves or prisoners are held together to stop them from escaping, to organise and regulate a people to work together as a unit, a piece of rope or string or something like used to hold things together in some way for some purpose, fetters, necklaces, bracelets, ornaments, jewellery, assembly line workers who work together on tasks set out for them by experts or managers, a way of using such people who are not experts in things but can play their part in contributing to society by doing things that do not need much higher level expertise or skills or experiences, to bind, to tie, to hold in position or place, to stop, to prevent, to resist, to hold by the neck, something that has something to do with the neck, to tie someone’s hands by doing one a favour, to grant, some sort of preventative measure, to bribe, to entice, to blackmail, to hold hostage, to tie one down with ideas or actions or things, to stop or prevent one from responding unfavourably, to fetter one ideologically, to make one prisoner through ideological control, to indoctrinate, to brainwash, tree or plant or something like tree or plant in some sense, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, door or something like door in some sense etc etc. 39] We said, this guidance for a way of life for educating people is Our free gift of knowledge to you the mankind for unity, peace, progress and abundant prosperity but it is entirely up to yourselves to help each other with it or withhold it from each other. Here Allah is telling mankind his guidance is of great value yet it is free and people should share it with each other freely and thereby benefit from it abundantly. These verses are telling people what is needed for a person to be a good leader and likewise what is needed for a person to be a good supporter of a good leadership. Not only that but people are also told how a leader should be able to guide and use his people to move the whole community together towards a better and brighter future through working hard together as a proper human community or ummah or human family or a brotherhood of mankind. However guidance means nothing at all without people understanding it properly and adopting it faithfully. All this needs people to cooperate with each other rather than set themselves upon the course of rivalries and animosities which can lead them to hatred against each other and eventually to terrible wars instead. Here it is also made clear that no person is of any importance unless one basis oneself upon guidance of Allah because nothing much can be accomplished by individuals on their own. Proper human community is a must or humanity will keep on suffering the way it has been by hands of each other save at times when they lived as a proper human community. The other point made clear here is the fact that part of Allah in his scheme of thing is to provide guidance for people and the rest is up to mankind themselves as to what they make of it or how they use it. Should they understand it properly and follow it faithfully then result is bound to be brilliant future for mankind in this very world but if not then the consequences will become clear for mankind to see by their own eyes. 40] However he used what We gave him for ensuring the well being of mankind therefore he has an excellent reputation with Us, what a beautiful outcome for his course of actions. 41] Let us also mention Our man Job.

When his people turned into an ugly human population thanks to its leaders, God sent Job to save humanity from destroying itself. As usual leaders who live on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other get angry and take all steps within their power to fight off new movement. In this situation sometimes a prophet gains more support than existing leaders so he leads his people in the proper direction properly but at other times he does not get that sort of support so he is forced to leave the place along with his supporters but carries on working elsewhere and may even return and be successful with very same people who force him out of his place. The case of prophet Job was one of like the last messenger ie he was forced to migrate but returned with more support. As usual the final messenger is educated through story of an old prophet that this could happen to him as well so he should not give up when it comes to it and try and make the mission successful wherever there are people who are more likely to accept and support the message. These stories are also lessons for people even today that if they want to bring about kingdom of Allah then they should work just like the prophets of old and in due course the heavenly kingdom will appear when it has enough support of mankind. This is why Muslims need to learn the Quran properly and spread its message properly so that their own generation remain aware of what Islam is really about and are able to convince others about it. By telling stories of old prophets Quran educates people in different ways. It keeps heroes of Islam alive and how they became heroes and how their followers today can be a force for building a proper human community that they can be really proud of. The stupid stories invented by stupid mullahs about God and his messengers should be ignored because they can be seen for what they really are. They make obvious who invented them and why. 43] That is how We supported him with his own people as well as other people like them along with them due to Our program that was able to lead such people to blissful, dignified and secure existence as had learned the sense to understand and do things properly. 44] So in due course We said to him, gather your strength and travel the land and do not break your agreement with Us. We found him steadfast indeed. What an excellent man! In every situation he turned to Us for guidance. Word DIGHSAA is from root DWAAD, GHAIN and SAA.

Also something that cannot be determined what it exactly is or what it exactly does or how it exactly does something or what exact purpose it serves, some situation or thing unknown or unknowable, a confusing or chaotic situation or set of circumstances. some mixed up or muddled up thing or situation, s state of anarchy or disorder, a random occurrence, an accident, something that happen by chance or unexpectedly, something that could be anticipated or expected, a medley of dreams or muddled up thoughts, something not understood or cannot be understood, a vase full with flowers of various kinds, a bunch of flowers, a meagrely livelihood, a handful of things, poverty, hardship, scarcity of things of need, unclear speech or talk that makes no sense, senseless talk, a bundle, unravelling of hair, a camel suspected to be suffering from an afflicted hump, hallucination, mixture, confusion, chaos, handful of plant stalks, incoherent or inconsistent statement, something inconsistent in some sense, something not smooth or level or even, not a level playing field, an uneven or bumpy field or path, a rocky or unstable path that is difficult to tread or walk upon, something parts of which do not fit together to serve some intended purpose, something that is obvious in some way but hidden in another way, something is known only partly and needs to be figured out as a whole, something that needs to be explored or discovered for its proper understanding, something troublesome in some way, tree or plant or something like tree or plant in some sense, eye or something like eye in some sense, fish or ink or something like fish or ink in some sense etc etc. Word TAHNAS is from root HAA, NOON and SAA.

It is a very clear proof that people need to understand the Quran and not read it like a parrot senselessly. That is waste of time because it serves no purpose unless one is learning to read the Quranic text or is busy memorising it. Till each and every Muslim learns to read the Quran and memorises it and understands it properly as well as spreads it faithfully the purpose of revelation of the Quran cannot be served or fulfilled, which is basically bringing about a proper human community as explained in detail already. 45] And let Us mention Our subjects Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who had abilities to do things as well as had the vision. The Quran makes a very important point here that men of God are those who develop their abilities and have vision. Only people with ability and vision can lead nations to better future and that is the very reason Allah chose such top people at the time as his messengers. These verses very clearly show what the true message of the Quran is for mankind ie be ambitious and keen to work hard for better future of mankind. This is a very clear condemnation of rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and suppers because such people are a bunch of blind and useless people due to their short sightedness which cannot see the world beyond their personal gains at the expense of the rest. It is for this reason they devise and use all sorts of tricks and traps or mechanisms. 46] Surely We chose them for their special quality of keeping in mind the end result of whatever they thought or did, especially regarding where will they be in future as a result of their thoughts and actions with respect to each other as a people. 47] Certainly in Our sight they were among the chosen ones due to ensuring blissful, dignified and secure existence for mankind.

Concrete meaning of this root is something desirable that ensures well being of a person. Also something that is desirable that is essentially or additionally needed for ensuring well being of people, all kinds of things such as grain or fruit or animals or vegetation or metals or trees, horses or camels, something beautiful and strong, something durable or lasting, something helpful, to elect or select, to choose, something in top category of things, ruling elite, top or highest part of something, the best thing in some sense, something excellent in some sense, to classify or categorise things, to arrange or organise things for some purpose, a person man or woman beautiful with good character or manners, something better, something useful or of value, to make a decision, to give verdict, to separate, to gap, to distance, to move away, top make distinction, to discriminate, to choose one thing above another, cucumber, corn cob, to head, to control, to manage, to shrink, grow lean, skein, stuff, things, safety or security, natural selection, to be capable, to have knowledge, to be a fully trained person, to be a skilful person, capacity, power, authority, good or beautiful things, things of need and desire, essential preparations for some kind or undertaking, goodness, thing that are considered a bliss, to be of use, to put ahead, to have the option, an option, preference, to seek the best, to seek guidance of Allah before an action, all that is good, much wealth, great property, truly good, works that make human world beautiful, to reward or receive reward, righteous people, fence or something like fence in some sense, hand or something like hand in some sense, head or something like head in some sense etc etc. 48] So let Us mention Ismail, Elisha and Zul-Kifl also. They were all such people who worked for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind. 49] This Quran is also a message that can lead those who are consistent with it as well as each other to a beautiful existence as the end result of their thoughts and actions for ensuring well being of each other 50] in the kingdoms full of raw materials, opening doors for them to show their potential for creativity. 51] That is how they will rise to level of dignity and security in there, relying upon fruits of their own labour in abundance due to learning knowledge from Our revelation by understanding things properly. The Quran is not only about actual food and drink but about food for thoughts and actions as well. It is fountain of knowledge to drink or learn from as explained already in detail. The idea is to express creativity through explorations and discoveries to ensure blissful, dignified and secure existence of proper human community by using whatever is made available in the kingdoms under management of people based upon guidance of Allah. 52] That is how they will end up with highly knowledgeable people with crystal clear vision. 53] These are the things which you are being promised for the period of time to come when people will do things properly according to Our set measures. Such verses tell people that after you come together in a brotherhood and have a place to yourselves then explore it and use whatever you find in their to improve lives of people in there so that all live comfortably according to set out program, constitution and law without unnecessary worries or anxiety. After creating an exemplary kingdom take the message to rest of humanity so that they also could do the same. Setting up a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah as an example is necessary for people who claim to understand the Quran properly and follow it faithfully because this will attract attention of the people in the rest of the world. However care is absolutely necessary that kingdom is fully prepared to deal with people who wish to join the kingdom one after the other. In other words it is duty of Muslims to help rest of humanity to set up its kingdoms like the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for ensuring well being of their people. Deen of Islam teaches consistency with humanity not rivalry and animosity. 54] This will be Our provision which will never fail to materialise. Word NAFAAD is from root NOON, FAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to run out. Also to vanish, to disappear, to finish, to end, to expire, to deplete, to wear out, to come to an end, to become reduced to nothing, to be or become lost, to have nothing more to think or say or do, to no longer continue, to become discontinued, to stop happening, to stop occurring, to do no more, to end continuity, to break, to put a stop to, to become empty, to become consumed, to reduce, to decrease, to use up, to pass out of existence, to pass out of sight, to cease to exist, to become distant, to gap, to speak, to deceive, to trick, to cheat, to go away, to obstruct, to block, to depart, to fail, to not materialise, to not to happen, to not to come to existence, to not to be, fish or ink or something like fish or ink in some sense, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, door or something like door in some sense etc etc. 55] Such will be the reward for those who will do things properly but for the rebellious people who break mankind into factions for personal gains there will be a terrible state of existence, 56] the state of painful suffering that is! In which they will keep on burning due to fire igniting and fuelled by themselves, what a terrible state of existence to be in! People who live on basis of personal gains at the expense of each can never find unity therefore peace and harmony between them therefore they cannot make progress they are supposed to make so they can never prosper or be a successful people. In such human populations a few will keep on using others abusively for their own personal gains at their expense. This abusive use of each other leads people to life of terribly painful agony which the Quran calls hell but it is created by people themselves against which Allah warns people repeatedly but do they pay any attention? None or very little if we look at the state of the world before our very eyes. 57] Such will be the case of opponents of Our advised way of life as if they have immersed themselves in boiling water that is full of filth. Word HAMEEM is from root HAA, MEEM and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to heat up. Also to melt, to make hot, to cause to heat up, to get involved in heated debate, to cause environment to heat up, to spread hatred, to conspire for war, to make way for strife, to heat up the water, hot water, energy, to be concerned, to care about or have concern for, to become a headache, to become problem, to become difficult or troublesome, to become harmful or destructive, to fill atmosphere with hatred, to have very emotional attachment with, to be a helper or supporter, to be a confidant, to intend, to have intension for, to decide about something, to have fever or illness or worry or anxiety, to bathe, to be very close or cordial friends, to have a lively or an active relationship, to be close up, to become due, hot boiling water, a bath, death, coal, black choking smoke, intense actual fire or fire of hatred, an intimate friend, family, circle, associate, colleague, entourage, pigeon or dove or something like a pigeon or dove in some sense, canopy of hot fire, fence or something like fence in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. This like verses are repeated in the Quran to show where mankind will end up or will be led in due course if they did not follow the way of life advised by Allah for them and what will happen to them in there. The point made in the verses like this is to explain that just like clean fresh water is life giving to all living things at right temperature so boiling or freezing water can take away that life. In other words just as having and using right things at the right time helps growth and development of mankind so having and using things the wrong way can make life of mankind hell by their own hands or making. Just as doing certain things helps humanity progress so doing certain other things could freeze growth and development of humanity and thereby could hold humanity back from growth and progress as well as could rollback and destroy even what has been achieved or built so for. 58] and they will suffer many other things of same sort. Word SHAKLIH is from root SHEEN, KAAF and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to mould something into some sort of shape in some sense. Also to bind or sculpt or form or shape or fashion, to create or carve or imagine or think out or conceptualise, to be homogeneous, an ideal or likeness or similarity or resemblance, similitude or example, in a similar way or likewise or in the same manner, peculiarity or inclination or disposition, something in some way similar to another, a rope or something like rope to tie something in some way, to be similar in mindset or attitude or behaviour, to be similar in being or quality or an aspect, to be sharp in some sense, to be firm in some sense, to be soft in some sense, to be prickly in some sense, to be irritating in some sense, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, palm of hand or something like palm of hand in some sense, ox-goad or something like ox-goad in some sense etc etc. Due to their own doings when there comes a very bad time upon nations and things keep getting worse then all kinds of pressures start building up and blaming starts and keep increasing among their people, both leaders and supporters. It could go as far as people destroying each other completely in their madness. 59] It will be said to the chiefs by Our missionaries, here are your troops that used to rush headlong with you to protect you. They will say, they are not welcomed here. They should burn in the fire they have ignited for themselves. Word MUQTAHIM is from root QAAF, HAA and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to jump into something in some way without giving oneself time to think. Also to get involved in something dangerous or harmful or destructive without thinking about the consequences, to plunge, to jump right in, to push oneself into something that could be dangerous, to jump into the fire, to work hard to get somewhere, to push hard to get through something, the running away of a camel with its rider, to run out of control, to become wild, the throwing off of its rider by a horse gone wild or out of control, the running of a horse into a dangerous with its rider, a free running pulley or bearing, something loose or wild or out of control, something that runs loose or wild or free, to enter a house forcefully, to suffer hardship or poverty, to go through difficulty or trouble, to come running, to rush things or rush into things, to make one fall flat on one’s face, to burst into, to embark boldly, to scorn, to pass over, to be aged, to take on, to set upon, to fall upon, to attack or assault, to rush in headlong, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, fence or something like fence in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. Word MARHABAA is from root RAA, HAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to be spacious. Also to be wide, to be ample, to welcome, to think deeply, to have widely open mind, to put up a wide fence, to put a vast obstacle in the way of something, to build a large house, to have a large family, to have vast or spacious courtyard, to open up many or a single vast flood channel/s in a valley, to have vast piece of fertile land, to have plenty of something, a very wide path, to have an open or generous heart, to be highly cordial, to treat someone generously, to be highly insightful, to hold nothing back from someone, to desire or love someone or something whole heartedly, to shield or protect, to provide with refuge or shelter or foundation, to be in control, to manage, to be a chief or leader, tradition, custom, family, support, command and control centre, following, rule of law, head or something like head in some sense, fence or something like fence in some sense, house or something like house in some sense etc etc. 60] The followers will reply, but you as well! You are not welcome here either! It is you people who have brought us to this state of existence. What a terrible state of existence this is to be in. Word QADAM is from root QAAF, DAAL and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is foot. Also foothold, foundation, base, something upon which something stands or depends, position, rank, leader, leadership, front, fore, consequences, results, outcome, effect of a cause, reaction, response, reply, in the front, shrivelled, customary, familiar, same old thing, brave, courageous, people of the past, past generations, ancient, old, eternal, to lead, to be in the forefront, to be foremost, to come, to arrive, to advance, to precede, to send ahead, to be old, to submit, to come to, to apply oneself to, to turn to, to put forth, to put forward, to offer, to work for, to show concern, to provide, to make available, to bring upon, to tempt, to entice, to allure, to beguile, to commit, to perpetrate, to incur, to go before, to go forward, to seek to bring forward, to be lively or active or energetic, to obstruct, to block, to open a way into something, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, door or something like door in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. 61] So they will express their wish about them to God saying, our Creator and Sustainer, let these people suffer double the painful suffering who brought upon us this terrible state of existence. 62] While arguing with each other they will say to one another, what is the matter with us why do we not see those here among us whom we used to count among the harmful and destructive people Word ASHRAAR is from root SHEEN, RAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to spark. Also to light or ignite fire, to cause friction or tension, to let sparks fly, to be or become evil or harmful or destructive, to be or become depraved, to be or become wicked, to slander, to backbite, to spread rumours, to cleave, to split, to rent, to rip, to tear up, to sharpen, to cause trouble or difficulty or hardship, to bite, to think, to head, to manage, to invent falsehood, to conspire to cause harm or destruction, to misleads, to cause mistrust or distrust or suspicion, to plot, to scheme, something harmful or destructive in some way, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, head or something like head in some sense etc etc. 63] and whom we used to ridicule and demonise or is our eyesight is failing us to notice them? This is because all their lives they have been telling each other not to listen or do what these people say who claim to deliver message of God because they are bad people yet when the result comes out the leaders and followers end up in same troubles they were warned against yet the people they assumed bad are not in the same situation as they. So the direction each people take in life and where it ends them proves if they lived their lives properly or not. 64] Surely, this is a proven reality that that is how people in agonising painful suffering argue with each other. 65] Say, my job is only to make mankind aware that there is no ruler other than Allah, the One, the Irresistible, 66] the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that lies in between them, the mighty protector of mankind through guidance for blissful, dignified and secure existence. 67] Say, this is a message of supreme importance that you cannot afford to ignore 68] yet you avoid paying attention to it. 69] It is not just my responsibility to be aware of why there is a power struggle ongoing always between people in position of power and masses but your responsibility as well. These verses tell mankind to be aware of their societies as to whatever is going on in there because as soon as people show lack of concern opportunists among them waiting to take their chances do so and then it leads to very serious consequences. So prevention of wrong things from happening in a proper human community is better than looking for corrections or cures for them later on after they have taken place. The Quran very clearly warns mankind about power struggles between dominant people themselves in human populations and between their agents who sell them to masses and between dominant people and the masses. Public relation agents are said to be very dangerous people who present power hungry people in good light to fool public at large. It is because if they succeed then they also get their cut from whatever they gain. The Quran leaves no corner hidden about tricks and traps or mechanisms used by rulers, money lenders, priests and their touts and supporters. This is why those who know the Quran properly cannot be fooled by these tricksters and their agents. This is the very reason mullahs have been trying their best to keep deen of Islam in hidden by covering up the actual contextual meanings of the Quranic text so that the advantaged people could use the rest abusively for their own personal gains at their expense. 70] I am informed about all this through revelation because I am assigned the mission of a clear warner for mankind, not to live by way of life founded upon the basis of personal gains at the expense of each other. Here the Quran tells us why Allah sent his messengers one after the other to mankind after setting up a proper human community so that they draw their attention to highly important things which people should know so that after becoming aware of them they take all necessary measures to prevent them from taking place well in time. However they failed again and again and wrong things did take place and so humanity has been suffering for not playing its part as it was supposed to despite help of Allah through his revelations via his messengers. As explained already if people do not learn things through education the easy way then they must go through direct experiences to learn things the hard way. If one does not listen to others who tell him eating poisonous things is dangerous then the only way to learn for such a person is to keep eating poisonous things and face the consequences. Likewise if people do not bother to learn how to live properly in this world from the Quran then let them beat each other up due to keep doing wrong things to each other and after a very long time and a slot of painful suffering the lesson is going to be learned by them. This is why mankind are moving in the right direction be it by forcing each other that way while still being unaware about it. One either learns things the easy way or the hard way, it is up to oneself. This is how the proper education at the right time can make a lot of difference for mankind and that is the reason the Quran keeps telling people to get educated or suffer the consequences for staying ignorant. 71] The same happened when your Creator and Sustainer sent His message to the tribal chiefs the very first time through Adam saying, I am going to raise a proper human being out of an ordinary down to earth human being to bring about a proper human community based upon My advised way of life. 72] Therefore when I have completed My moulding of him into a shape I want for him by making him fully conscious of My guidance through My revelation then support him to be chief of your management committee. After a lot of bloodshed and infighting when most of the people and their leaders got fed up with their way of life they looked to the unseen source for guidance and that is the time when Allah sent them his very first message through his very first messenger. Through this messenger Allah told people what they will have to do to get out of the way of life they already have and they did save a bunch of nasty people ie those who had a leader called Iblees they continued living that way and caused the same problem among people again but they were saved again as explained already. The lesson in these verses is clear that Allah does not guide people but gives them opportunity through his guidance to guide themselves out of terrible life into a blissful, dignified and secure life. This is why those who are waiting for good life to come and think God will have all ready for them to jump in there will remain that way because nowhere the Quran tells us that it is Allah who will do things for people and the people themselves do not need to do a thing other than just sit on a prayer mat and keep asking Allah for doing things as if he is their paid servant. People need to become sensible and do things as guided by Allah only then the results will show up as promised. 73] Therefore all the chiefs along with him submitted to My advised way of life 74] except Iblees, he refused to join those who committed themselves to live by My advised way of life for them due to seeking dominance over others by undermining them for personal gains at their expense therefore he became and remained of those who reject and oppose Our advised way of life even today. 75] However We said, O Iblees! What prevented you from committing to My advised way of life along with him whom I have raised to become the proper manager of people and resources through My revealed authority? Are you taken over by sense of dominance over others, or do you think that you are really above others in your physical strength and knowledge? These verses tell us that divisions have been around ever since man came about and that it was always due to people’s sense of personal gains at the expense of each other and sense of dominating each other that divided mankind ie power struggle between people was always there which resulted in a lot of bloodshed and that is why when man was able to think a bit better and saw that he needed guidance from God that God sent him his guidance to live by. Even then people who were given to spreading fire of hatred did not stop and carried on till today generation after generation. This is how mankind ended up destroyed at hands of each other nation after nation and generation after generation. Only when mankind will have learned to be real human beings that such harm and destruction will come to an end. Iblees is the very first person to reject and oppose establishment of divine kingdom under the management committee headed by Aadam. Here and there small kingdoms were set up by divine messengers but they did not last long because people could not keep up with them. Same happened to kingdom that was set-up under administration of Aadam. Iblees and his supporters managed to bring it down. The struggle for bringing about the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah is therefore a very old one long before the last messenger of Allah arrived at the scene with the Quran. People have been trying harder and harder to establish a worldwide kingdom based upon guidance of Allah but so far not much has been achieved in this regard because people lack education needed for having proper understanding of the message of Allah. There are three main things people need to think about if they want the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah to come about. First, they need to become aware of religious aspect of life as to what it is and how far it can be helpful for them and when it could become a very destructive force. Second, they need to become aware of necessity for revelation of their creator and sustainer and look for it and if they wish to do so then they need to do their homework for it otherwise they can forget about it because they can never find it due to so many obstacles in its way. Third, they must realise the fact that any message of their creator and sustainer has to be based upon the language that is very clearly founded upon some common ground beyond dispute. As explained already in detail religious consciousness does not arise in people till they start growing after their birth and God is brought to their attention either by themselves or by teachings of others. It is at this stage people start looking for God and they go in different directions that interest them. At this point either people find what they are looking for or they end up as victims in hands of exploiters who use religions as tools to abuse others in the name of God for their personal gains at the expense of others. Just as people look for God so God also looks for people therefore he sends them his revelations. If people looking for God come in touch with his revelation then contact is made but for that people must prepare themselves well otherwise they will pass each other by just like people who look for each other pass each other by they do not have proper knowledge about each other which helps them recognise each other. This is why if people have not worked out ideas in their heads as to what they are looking for then they will have great difficulty in finding it. This is why mere wish or desire for God is not sufficient to lead to guidance from God. Once people do have idea what the revelation of God may contain that will help them find it. However this is only the beginning of the problems because making sense of what is said to be from God is not an easy task at all. The scripture involves a lot of reading and writing and that means it uses some words and symbols. This means people need to equip themselves with knowledge of the proper human language which was the original human language. This human language was body language or sign language from which people created coded sounds for speech we call words and finally they ended up drawing pictures of things in order to express what was in their minds as explained already in detail and that is how came about writing of those words. The next most important thing to know is mechanisms whereby people gave meanings to words which have been explained in detail already in this work. Why it is important to know mechanisms whereby words have been given meanings? Because if those mechanisms are not known then people cannot know for sure whether words have been given their meanings properly or they have been making things up by themselves to make fools of each other. The other most important point for people to note is that God is using human language to tell us about his ideas. Since people can never know mind of God no matter how hard they try and they cannot verify from God directly whatever they assume about him through his revelation is actually true or not therefore there has to be a mechanism whereby people could verify their findings about God from his revelation without being in touch with God directly. This is the main reason why knowing things about human language is of such importance. This is why this work will be found most helpful by those who are looking for proper understanding of message of God. Once people grasp the idea explained in this work then sky is the limit. The Quran is book of guidance not because it contains a complete list of all the possible instructions people will ever need for which they do not need to do a thing but an interactive book. What does that mean? It means God has given people just a bit of help through it but rest of the work is to be carried out by people themselves. This is why Allah has provided people with a very limited set of goals and guidelines so that people themselves full in the gaps through educating themselves and moving with time generation after generation. Allah did not turn human beings into fully programmed robots like rest of the universe and things in it as explained already in detail. People are special creatures with a very different mission than rest of the things in this universe this is why the Quran asks them to ponder deeply and widely over its letters, words, verses and surahs. It is because each of its letters is full of meanings, each of its words is full of meanings, each of its verses is full of meanings and each of its surah is full of meanings but it is up to people to figure things out by themselves for themselves. It is not a fully worked out thing but a jigsaw puzzle with some of its pieces already properly fitted in its places and the rest are to be fitted in their proper places by people themselves. This is how the Quran helps people to become higher level thinkers and doers. This is the main framework according to which the Quran makes perfect sense. It also shows very clearly why mullahs’ Islam is has nothing at all to do with actual deen of Islam. It is because mullahs tell us the Quran is a perfect book and prophet Muhammad is perfect example because they tell us how to live properly in this world and we do not need to do anything to figure out things for ourselves. This is why when they did not find sufficient instructions in the Quran they brought in tafaseer books ie books containing detailed explanations to add things to the Quranic text which are not actually there in the actual text of the Quran. They did the same with the Ahaadis books and went a step further by adding false reports in them. Even that did not serve their purpose so they ended up doing the very same through books of the Fiqh. This is how there came about many religions as well as many sects in each and every religion. However if people will pay due attention to this work, a lot of things will start becoming very clear about a lot of things eg religions sects, society, politics, economics, science, philosophy etc etc. 76] He replied, I can do things better than him because you have allowed me to develop into a person full of emotional energy with burning ambitions and desires to succeed against others while you allowed him to develop into a person who lacks such emotional energy and is without such ambitions and desire to succeed against others. 77] Allah said, get out of this mindset, attitude and behaviour or you will be excluding yourself from the circle of people who benefit from My guidance which can lead people to blissful, dignified and secure existence 78] and you will remain away from My such blessings till the time of establishment of the way of life based upon My guidance. 79] At this Iblees said, my Creator and Sustainer, leave me on my own till the day the mankind rise up to meet Your set standard. When people talk to God, it is not as if they are seeing God and talking to him but this is their wish or response to his message through his messengers or missionaries. When Adam invited Iblees and his people along with all the rest to join him in bringing about a proper human community he and his supporters refused to become part of human brotherhood and he gave reasons for it. He thought he could do better than Adam if he was put in charge of things instead of Adam but Allah knew he was not as good as Adam because Adam proved himself capable of doing what he did even before he was chosen as a messenger of God. Adam already had right mindset, attitude and behaviour before he was given the job of a messenger of Allah. People were already aware of his good works for the human community so they had no problem in accepting him as their leader to manage things on their behalf and on behalf of God. There are many different kind of lessons in stories of messengers of God and their supporters and opponents etc. 80] Allah said, you are given the respite 81] till the appointed time. 82] Iblees said, I swear by Your Honour that I will try to raise similar ambitions and desires in all of them like myself 83] with exception of those of them who remain sincerely committed to Your so called guidance. 84] Allah said, that is true but true is also what I say 85] that I will let world become filled with hell of your own making along with all those who will support your way of living their lives based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. In the story of Aadam and Iblees the argument is all about how mankind should live their lives ie should they live according to advice of Allah like Adam and his supporters as a proper human community or should they fulfil their own personal ambitions and desires like Iblees and his supporters. This was the argument always till the very last messenger. Even today most of the mankind are living their lives according to the way of life that was adopted and promoted by Iblees. The result is therefore a world that is nothing less than hell. So if any people want to change things they in this world they must adopt the teachings of the Quran as explained in detail. 86] Say, I do not ask you for any reward for conveying this message to you, nor do I pretend to be what I am not. 87] This Quran is nothing less than a program for giving all nations in the world a dignified, blissful and secure life, 88] and you will certainly see an example of this news come true before long. The last messenger of Allah established a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah within 15 years of his prophetic life. All messengers of Allah accomplished an exemplary ummah and an exemplary kingdom based upon guidance of Allah be it a very small one. The final messenger established the greatest exemplary kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. The worldwide kingdom based upon guidance of Allah is about to become a reality as humanity becomes fed up with the way of life it has adopted for itself for a long time now which is based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and turns to deen of Islam. |
Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 39 AL-ZUMAR-The blowing of trumpet of proper guidance for gathering crowds around it to support it
This surah is named AL-ZUMAR from root ZAA, MEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is trumpet. Also to make noise as if to gather crowds, to call for gathering or unity of scattered people, lacking in things of need, groups of people, a band or party of people, base people, congregated bodies of people, playing flute or trumpet, sound or voice or noise, windpipe, flute, patches, the start of something happening, the starting point, something that runs smoothly, clusters, to be or become part of a gathering, to be or become a member of the crowd, to patch up things, to be in clusters, to flow, to be energetic or active or lively, to make or repair something, to mend or fix something broken or fractured, to be incomplete or faulty, to be flawed or defective, to fall short of what is required, to be at the simple state of existence, to be or become foundation for something, to be at the very beginning of doing something, to be at the start of doing something, to control or manage, to be the centre of power, to be the in-charge, to think, to scheme, to plan, to conspire, to be armed, to have skills to do something, to be able to use tools or weapons or instruments or mechanisms, to be able to reason things, tool or weapon or something like tool or weapon in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, head or something like head in some sense etc etc. This Surah is named AL-ZUMAR because the Quran talks about gathering of people upon a way of life for proper existence of humanity that will ensure its blissful, dignified and secure existence. This surah condemns all ways of life which lead mankind to uneven societies or divided communities. The Quran condemns negative competition between people or rivalries or animosities because they lead to hatred between people and wars. All this leads to hatred and wars due to increase in gaps between those who have things and those who have not. Divided people can never live in peace and because they try to dominate each other or try to undercut and undermine each other therefore they cannot make real progress therefore prosperity of such people as a community is not possible. It is sense of dividing people into us and them that the Quran condemns no matter how it is covered up by various people because divide and rule idea is always at its base when things are examined for their truth. Rulers invented religions and make beliefs to confuse humanity so that they could take advantage of it. So long as people accept rule by people they can never get out of all sorts of troubles, harms and destructions that are part and parcel of this way of life. People must question themselves, do they wish to live on basis of personal gains? If so then why complain if someone gains more than you? Only if people decide to give up the idea of living on basis of personal gains that they can have life based upon community spirit otherwise mankind are bound to keep on suffering painfully fighting off each other because it is either brotherhood or robbing each other at gunpoint due to adoption of predatory life style. In such a system the clever, the strong or the rich is always likely to win. It is because day by day clever people are siding with each other, strong people are siding with each other and rich people are siding with each other. Not only that all these are coming together and using and abusing masses together locally, nationally and internationally. So masses if they want to change things for the better they must also unite and take these enemies of humanity to task, the rulers, the mullahs, the money lenders, their touts and supporters as well as those who act as public relation managers for them. Basically mankind have three things to make sense of a)God b)revelation of God and c)humanity. If we discuss anything we need to begin with suppositions about it because in actual fact there is no basis for anything as far as we humans are concerned because it is all in our minds and our ideas are learned from our own life experiences which we cannot prove real or unreal because we have no way to do so. We can only build on our logic and rationality and reality as we can have it in our minds. Our ultimate argument for existence of God rests on the point that created things cannot have infinite chain going back in time. This is why we have no choice but to accept that there is a creator at the end of all this who himself was not created. It makes perfect sense rationally and that is how far we can go on that issue. Beyond that we can neither prove existence of God positively unless we rely on revelation of God nor disprove it even rationally. It is because ultimately we will have to accept the matter is ever existence and not only that but it has all the properties the creator ought to have, which then defeats the very purpose of not accepting existence of a creator. This is why idea of existence of a creator is impossible to disprove rationally. However we have plenty of problems with idea of revelation of God even though the actual revelation of God may fit its purpose perfectly. Our other problem therefore is concept of revelation of God. Since we opened our eyes we have been bombarded with claims that God has been communicating with humanity always since people became aware of themselves and aware of other existing things and realised that they need to know more. The problem is that there are claims and counter claims and that situation needs sorting out because without that life remains a confusion and a chaos for mankind. If we get troubled by one thing one way, we also get troubled by another thing in another way. So we end up looking for ways to sort out our problems that we face in this regard. We humans will have to agree that peace and war is most pressing problem for mankind to solve between themselves as our history tells us that world has been a hell hole for mankind so all we can do is look for ways to solving this problem. Divine scriptures have been the sole basis for peace between people. Why do I say that? I say that because origin of things preceded mankind and mankind as they came about were not born fully learned so they had to struggle to learn about themselves and the rest of things in this universe and that is why they were given the brains and the senses as well as bodies to go with them. Once the learned the use of their brains, senses and bodies then they came to realise they need more information than they can find out for themselves. This is why man called on his creator to guide him and so God responded . This is why scriptures could not be the source of conflicts between mankind instead they were a source that inspired and motivated mankind to do for each other whatever benefited mankind to ensure well being of humanity. Scriptures tried to bring mankind to their senses telling them not to live like animals in the jungle. Originally mankind learned from animals how to live as a part of animal kingdom but as time went on mankind woke up and tried to move away from animalistic way of life. This is why scriptures from God cannot be blamed for divisions and wars between mankind and this is why scriptures have been part of solutions for human problems and not part of problems. If scriptures revealed by God have been made controversial, it is only because of human beings themselves because they already had developed selfish mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. If mankind want to get out of divisions and wars between themselves then scripture from God is the only hope because only such scripture can provide solid foundation for humanity to base themselves upon as a proper human community. This is why without help of scriptures there is no future for mankind. This is a very important point for people to realise so one should realise why I am taking concept of revealed scriptures so seriously whereas to others scriptures are the main problem. It is because they have not reached the stage of thinking that is needed to see the scriptures in a proper light. Since God exists and we cannot do away with scriptures from God we also need to consider humanity itself in order to try and understand things in their proper context. The question is, what do we know about humanity? If there was no God as some people claim then all problems between people could only be attributed to mankind themselves, but why could it not be the case even if there is a God? The questions we need to ask ourselves are, what is origin of mankind, how do they become self aware and how do they become aware of universal realities? How good is their self awareness and how good is there awareness of universal realities? What are their motivations and where do they come from? Why do they have the mindsets that they have, why do they have the attitudes that they have and why do they behave the way they do? Is it possible to change or modify human mindsets, attitudes and behaviours? Likewise we need to ask questions like do we have or need human societies and communities? If yes why? If no, why not? If we want human communities then what should be their basis? How should we manage human populations and how should we manage available resources to ensure our survival and beyond that blissful, dignified and secure existence? We need to educate each other about what kind of people we ourselves are and what kind of people should we be and are we already there or not? If not then how are we going to get there where we are supposed to be? All these like questions will tell us how we should conduct our politics and how we should conduct our economics related affairs in order to ensure our better future. Having empty minds and talking about God or scriptures makes no sense on its own because there is no context and perspective in place to see how things come together in form of an actual proper picture of the whole situation or thing. Looking at things in isolation is not the proper way because the isolating technique becomes negative if there is no context but positive when there is one. For example, if I say to someone make me a door, what will he make of my this saying? However if I give him full picture of the thing then tell him make me a door he will know what I am talking about because now he has the context within which he is able to think. This is why people who look at things as isolated bits and pieces without ever knowing how they come together or fit together or connect together only and only keep themselves confused about the real thing. However staying confused and spreading confusion has a price for humanity and that is why we must find some solid basis to solve our problems in accordance with. So whenever we see any people doing anything, we need to look at their state of awareness. We will never find most aware and alert people doing most stupid things. It is always foolish people who end up thinking or doing silly things, if anyone else ends up doing anything silly it is only because of error of judgement or lack of attention. Now if we will judge people around the world on this basis then we will have better picture of things otherwise we are just expressing our own ignorance about realities of things. This is why if we want to discuss things for proper solutions of problems then we must become aware of things from various points of views otherwise it is only tit for tat arguments which actually lead nowhere other than a long drawn out discussion. It too is a way of education but for a people seriously lacking capability for understanding ideas or concepts. It is a way of children trying to argue with each other in a childish way. Grown up people only need a clue and they are there, this is why divine scriptures only provide clues and those clues need thinking people who could put them together so that we could get to the whole thing as a result. This is why the Quran is the way it is and man is the way he is. So when man helps himself to awareness of things the Quranic text starts making sense the way it should. If man had to be totally programmed by God then there will not be any need for revelation as a set of some goals and guidelines. This calls for interaction between revelation and man and that is because man is given the very powerful brain and senses. Man is created with capability to find the missing things by himself and God is giving him clues to lead him on in a particular direction by his own efforts. The Quran is not written badly as some clueless people claim but it is written for a set purpose that is why it is written the way it is. Anything done by anyone is always done for the purpose of the doer. This is why the Quran needs to be read in that context. This is why asking the main question is very important ie why Allah created mankind? Once we get that answer from the Quran we will see that it all makes perfect sense as explained already in detail. Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] The sending of this program, constitution and law in form of a book for guidance of mankind is by the mighty wise ruler of this universe. Word education is of vital importance to understand properly in the context of the Quran. In the Quranic context education is all about becoming aware of one’s hidden potentialities because a person is born with certain abilities and if one works on them then through practice one can develop them into skills which help one realise one’s potentialities. All a teacher does is helps one to educate oneself by prompting one or stimulating one or by drawing one’s attention to something for observation to make sense of it. This is exactly what nature does to human senses ie it acts as natural stimulus or attracts attention of an individual to itself through one’s senses so that brain is triggered into thinking things through to make sense of them. This is how one is trained for certain tasks in life. People who do not become aware of their abilities or do not develop them remain ignorant and useless. However the problem with mankind is that they have been created with ability of choice therefore it is up to themselves to choose to educate themselves or not to bother. Not only that but they also have the ability to use their potential for ensuring well being of each other or to inflict harms and destructions upon each other. So human beings could be a very good people for each other as well as very nasty people towards each other depending upon their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. This is why people need absolutely solid foundation for starting their lives and if they fail in getting that for whatever reason then there is a big danger that humanity will destroy itself by hands of each other. This is why the Quran is a book of vital importance without which humanity can never have its necessary foundation to begin with. It is for this very reason people cannot afford to not to have proper understanding of the Quran in order to follow it faithfully. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so guidance is not only about having a message of God but one also needs rest of its necessary parts as well so that chain is not short of any links due to which it fails to serve its purpose or falls short of fulfilling its purpose. 2] We have sent to you the mankind this book to turn its program into a reality therefore work for mission of Allah sincerely to establish His advised way of life for ensuring well being of yourselves faithfully as a proper human community. 3] Is it not right of Allah alone as their creator and sustainer to appoint a way of life for mankind that is free of confusion? Yet those who adopt ways of life invented and promoted by those other than Allah as their protectors say, we adopt their ways of life only so that they bring us to that which Allah requires and desires of us. For sure criterion of Allah is and should be the standard to decide between them the matters regarding which they are in dispute with each other and fight over. However guidance from Allah cannot guide such as live their lives on basis of falsehood due to which they end up rejecting and opposing it. It is true that mankind are born knowing nothing at all and as they grow and learn things they start thinking about things and ultimately they come to question their existence for its origin and purpose etc but then they should search for proper guidance from Allah instead of continue living their lives on basis of baseless conjectures about God and themselves. This is where people are misled by each other due to not preparing themselves for what they are looking for to get to it. None can know what God wants of him or her till one gets a message from God directly or indirectly. If one gets a message from God directly then that is fine but otherwise one has to look into messages that people claim are from God through other people. However to look into those messages means preparing oneself to make proper sense of those messages to ensure they are in fact from God and not made up by some people themselves to deceive each other in the name of God. God has given mankind brains, senses and bodies as well as things to help them learn to a highest degree without referring to his message but ultimately mankind must reach the standard of self aware and awareness about real world realities and once they have sufficient sense to make proper sense of things then they are ready for trying to make sense of message of God as well. Once they will do that things will start making perfect sense to them because all questions people will ask will be found answered already in the message of God. It is only a matter of preparing oneself to be able see those answers in the message of God. All this has been explained already in detail. God always revealed scriptures to help mankind solve their problems between themselves so if problems still remain between mankind then it is due to lack of learning on part of mankind and whether mankind are learned or not can be verified by people by looking at each other and the way their world is. This will make it absolutely clear to people how learned humanity is and whether it is able to make proper sense of message of God or not. However the way the world is set-up by Allah it is not possible for nations to escape consequences of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. If they will do things the way the scripture says, they will end up in a kind of life the scripture promises ie a blissful, dignified and secure existence. However if people will follow their own harmful and destructive ambitions and desires, they will end up with results already told in the scripture ie they will end up in hell of their own making. It is simple as that. This verse helps mankind to realise the context in which the Quran must be understood ie it makes the difference between deen of Islam and mazhab of Islam quite clear. Mazhab is nothing more than conjectures of people themselves about God and what he wants of them for reasons they think out for themselves but deen is about what God actually wants of people with all the necessary reasoning and purposefulness of requirements. So one can see how wrong the mullahs are about God and his message and their interpretations of it. These verses of the Quran tell us where this message has come from and why and why people must follow it and not any other message by anyone else. No book in the world has the message in it like the Quran does, from the Hindu scriptures to the Christian Bible. The Quran is the only book of its kind in the world. The Quran can be thought of as a rope from God for mankind to climb to the heights of excellence. However mankind must make effort to learn things to degree that they are able to make proper sense of it this is why people must not follow each other blindly not even their own very ancestors let alone mullahs or money lenders or rulers. 4] Had Allah needed any permanent assistant as a go between mankind and Himself then He could have adopt one out of His creation as He pleased but He is free of any such need. He is Allah, the only one of His kind, the one Who uses power wisely for making things work according to His plan. Allah does not place obstacle in the way of humanity to stop it from going the way it chooses to go but it is not without consequences to wake it up as to where it is going if it starts going the wrong way. Allah needs no intermediary or middleman between people and himself to rule them through the middle man rather his rule of law is sufficient for all to live by as a proper human community by organising and regulating themselves according to it as explained in detail already. 5] He created the heavens and the earth for a set purpose. He makes the night to follow the day by means of turning of the earth and He makes the day to follow the night by means of turning of the earth, that is how He has subjected the sun and the moon to His set-up systems and laws, each following a set out journey till an appointed time. Is He the mighty wise ruler of this universe not capable of providing blissful, dignified and secure existence for mankind through His this guidance? Word YUKAWWIRU is from root KAAF, WOW and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to go around something in some sense. Also to circle, to try and catch, to wind, to go round and round around something in some way as if one thing is chasing the other to catch it, to coil, to wind a clock, to overlap, to wind up someone to upset one’s mood, to throw, to flung, to alternate, to change, to vary, to rotate, to move around, to deviate, to budge, to shift, to follow, to go after, to pursue, to revolve, to turn, to make something go round and round, to go around, to gather around, to cause to fall down, to move away, to wrap up a piece of cloth around the head, to wind a piece of cloth around the head to turn it into a turban, to twist a turban around the head, to roll up, to harvest, to wind up an organisation, to end a task or something, to conclude something, to finish or finalise something in some sense, to gather, to conclude, to seek one another in quick succession around something, to try and catch each other around something, to be or become kind hearted, to be or become a soft touch, to provide with cushioning effect, to absorb a shock, to hook onto to something in some sense, to be or become linked to something in some way for some purpose, to think, to plot or scheme, to conspire, to plan ahead carefully, to manage, to control something in some way, to turn, to fold up, to shroud, to cover up something with something in some way for some reason or purpose, to make something go around something in some sense for some purpose, to fuel the fire, to provide more and more oxygen for the fire to make it go hotter or burn fiercely, travel gear, things and preparations needed for some sort of journey to some end or destination, bellows, succession of day and night phenomenon around the earth globe as the earth rotated on its axis under the beam of light of the sun, township, a place wherein people have settled down, a city or a kingdom, a residential area, a headdress consisting of a long piece of cloth wound around a small cap or directly around the head, something like a turban in some sense, the lungs, the windbag, an apparatus for producing a strong current of air for some purpose, palm of hand or something like palm of hand in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, head or something like head in some sense etc etc. Just for reminder verses like this one have parallel complementary meanings which also explain how dark and bright periods of times alternate for mankind due to their own doings. 6] He originally evolved you the mankind from a single living cell then from that living cell He evolved all kinds of living things and that is how for bringing you the mankind about He brought forth all kinds of large and small living things. From then on wards He brings you forth in the bodies of your mothers constantly in stages indirectly. This is Allah, your creator and sustainer to Whom belongs the kingdom of this universe. There is no ruler in this universe but He so how can you the mankind remain so ignorant that you decide to go against His guidance? As explained already many verses of the Quran have parallel meaning eg biological, psychological and sociological but if all meanings are accommodated then interpretation expands far too much so I have left things out just as I have not included serious criticism of wrong translations and interpretations of the Quran by mullahs verse by verse. The idea is to explain main points needed for proper understanding of the Quran for those who wish to make proper sense of the Quran and let people read stuff produced by mullahs and see which of them makes better sense and why and which of them does not and why not and follow things they make better sense. In this verse and many other verses the Quran explains the origin of life and its development in stages from a single cell to multi cellular living things. This is a clear proof that evolution is the true explanation of the process of origin of living things according to the Quran. The main question is, why those who oppose the idea of evolution oppose it? As for the Quran, Allah originated energy and matter and then it is he who evolved it into what we see in form of the universe and things in it. Did he not evolve all the galaxies full of stars from the energy and matter? Did he not evolve solar systems in the galaxies from within the galactic matter and energy? Did he not evolve planets in the solar systems? Did he then not originate a single living cell and evolved it into a whole tree of life from the earth? Did he then not brought forth things from each other as parents and children? All this is evolution ie things came from each other. Each and everything has a parent from which it came or was brought forth. The idea that Allah created each and everything by word KUN=be is a nonsense in light of the Quran because in that case why Allah needed to tell us that he brought forth man from dust or living things were brought forth from water instead of saying kun fa yakoon for each and every thing? Why Allah had to create Adam first from dust and then breathe into him his message? Allah only needed to say KUN and all ought to be there in no time instead of sittati aiyaam ie evolution over a long period of time coming through many stages of development. The Quran is full of verses from which it becomes totally clear that mullahs have no idea what the Quran is talking about. If mullahs' had sense ummah will not be in the state that it is in today. The more people stick with blind following of mullahs like sheep the more backward and stupid people are going to become and the ummah will go yet deeper into troublesome existence than it already is. The only thing mullahs can be trusted for is preservations of the texts that have anything to do with deen of Islam. There were never any science departments in madrassas to study the universe or the Quran in light of each other. Mullahs separated their work from the rest and said and wrote things in isolation according to their imaginations whereas the Quran demands that it is studied in light of self evident facts. After all one has to question how did deen of Islam become separated from matters related to society, politics and economics? The very same was done in case of philosophy and science. It is because rulers, money lenders and mullahs did not want deen of Islam to dominate lives of people so they had to come up with alternatives to help them legitimise their imperialism in the name fo deen of Islam. This is how deen of Islam became merely a label for mazhab and mazhab was used merely as a tool to use people abusively and that continues to date. People did arise in the ummah to explain deen of Islam in detail but mullahs opposed them always and they had imperial machinery and money lenders right behind them to back them up. There do exist educated people in the ummah even today but they do not have the same sort of resources that imperialists have to spread the proper understanding of the message of the Quran among people. It is possible that if people do not get proper message of the Quran in time then there is soon going to be a worldwide uprising and plenty of bloodshed as things come to a standstill and more and more people suffer more and more throughout the world. The only way to avert this catastrophe is to try to know the message of Allah properly and follow it faithfully, so that people could have the kind of life Allah promises them in the Quran in this world. 7] However if despite all this explanation if you the mankind will still reject and oppose Our guidance then remember that Allah depends not on you for His existence but you do depend upon Him for your existence so He likes not for His human creatures that they should misuse His provisions and suffer for doing so, therefore if you will use His provisions properly as advised by Him then He will help you to be consistent with His program to achieve your goals according to His guidelines. Be alert that none can fulfil responsibilities assigned to others. That is why you should turn to guidance of your Creator and Sustainer so that thereby He informs you about what you ought to be doing to make your existence blissful, dignified and secure. Surely He makes people aware of what is in their minds as thoughts about each other through their own actions for or against each other. This verse and many others make it very clear that each and every person must understand the divine message oneself and not through unreliable sources eg mullahs etc. The Quran condemned mullahs of Bani Israel and others because they misled their people. So mankind need to be very careful when mullahs say, if you read the Quran just for sake of reading its text without understanding it it is good and very rewarding for you. The purpose of God by giving his book to mankind was to guide them and one cannot be guided if one does not understand the guidance. Mullahs want to keep their people ignorant and foolish just for rulers and money lenders because once people become educated they ask too many questions so they are not easy to make fool of therefore they cannot be taken undue advantage of that easily. 8] When some trouble befalls man due to going about his life his own way, he cries to his Creator and Sustainer for guidance and turns to His guidance and acts on it but no sooner does He bestow upon him relief due to His blissful, dignified and secure life providing program then he forgets what he had asked His Master for and subjects himself to following rules of laws of others than Allah, that is how he strays from His advised way of life. Tell such people, enjoy your way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other for as long as you can because for sure in due course you will be landing yourselves in hell of your own making because of that. 9] Can such people be same as the ones who are properly and fully disciplined and equipped even to cope during the dark period of hardship due to accepting guidance and standing up for the better future by turning to blissful guidance from their Creator and Sustainer? Say, are those who learn to understand things properly and do what needs to be done faithfully same as those who do not learn to understand things properly and do not do thing faithfully? The fact is, no people think things through thoroughly to approach life properly save those who have learned to be sensible and wise. 10] Say to My people, O you my people who have committed yourselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, be consistent with guidance of your Creator and Sustainer as well as each other. For those who work towards a beautiful life, beautiful life is for them in this very world. The foundation provided by Allah for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind in form of His guidance is vast enough to suffice all needs of mankind, so those who will build upon it constantly and consistently they will end up with benefits beyond their imagination. 11] Say, I am told to live by program, constitution and law of Allah acting faithfully upon His advised way of life, 12] that is how I am told to be first of those who are truly committed abide by guidance of Allah. Here and in other verses Allah tells his messengers to first of all they themselves should make full and proper commitment to deen of Allah before asking others to do so. It is because if a person does not believe in a cause oneself, how can then such a person work for it sincerely? This is why people who claim to be Muslims must think over what they are committing to and why and how can they prove their commitment true for themselves and others. The main test of one’s faith is whether one actually understands the message one is committing to or not. If not then commitment is not true because it is only a lip service to deen of Islam. Even if one understands deen of Islam properly the next part of commitment is to teach it to others faithfully and so on and so forth. It is because deen of Islam is not about individual and God but individual, God and rest of humanity. This is why it is a mission and each and every Muslims is a missionary as far as Allah is concerned. So a Muslims is not a truly committed Muslims to Islam unless he works according to the best of his ability to make the mission a success. One can therefore see how hard the messengers of Allah had to work to ensure success of their mission therefore likewise is expected of those who claim to be followers of those messengers. 13] Say, I am seriously concerned about the period of time that will arrive with severe painful suffering for mankind by hands of each other if I failed to carry out the mission I am assigned by my Creator and Sustainer. 14] Say, therefore I abide by guidance of Allah by faithfully following His advised way of life for me. 15] As for you the rejecters and opponents of guidance of Allah, live by any way of life you wish in opposition to His advised way of life and face the outcome of your harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. Say, the real losers are those who will lose human dignity themselves as well as cause loss of human dignity of their own supporters on the day when they will be made to face the consequences of their harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. Will that not be a manifest loss for them? Those who keep victimising others and their loved ones one day become victims of the very same themselves along with their own loved ones. It is because when any people work against dignity of others in order to disgrace them then one day what they send around comes back to them and hits them right on their own head in the back making them fall flat on their faces. Is that not the loss that is self evident? The very same is true for those who keep silent when some people victimise other but soon it is their turn and there is none left to speak up for them. Therefore people should behave like proper human beings so that the victimisation of people by each other could be stopped or brought to an end. 16] It is because once the proper human community fractures or breakdown into rivals and enemies due to personal gains at the expense of each other then layers of fire of hatred engulf all from people above them and layers of fire of hatred engulf all from the people below them. Such is the doom about which Allah wants His human creatures to remain alert, therefore, O My human creatures, be consistent with My guidance and with each other as a proper human community for ensuring your own well being with help and support of each other. When people become divide into all sorts of groups due to personal gains at the expense of each other then clash between upper classes, middle classes and lower classes is never far away. This is how human populations end up destroyed by hands of each other if they do not stop living on basis of such ways of life and adopt the way of life advised by Allah that can lead them to brotherhood of humanity to ensure well being of each other. 17] As for those who will avoid oppressing and suppressing each other by refraining from submitting to rule of law based upon oppression and suppression and instead come to live by rule of law of Allah, for them is good news of blissful, dignified and secure existence in this world in due course. So O messenger, give good news to My such human creatures, 18] who listen to My word properly and follow it faithfully to gain for themselves a life that is beautiful. Such are the ones whom Allah guides through His guidance to blissful, dignified and secure existence because they are the ones who have learned to understand things properly. 19] Is the human population about which the forewarning of painful suffering proves true equal to the one who refrains from inflicting harms and destructions upon each other? Can you therefore rescue the people who are hell bent upon falling into the fire of hatred among themselves? Unless people themselves realise what will happen to them if they will do to each other things that cause them problems it is not possible to stop people only by force from doing those things to each other. However through competing with each other for power people are forced to move towards the right end bit by bit as already explained. It is law of nature that world will always end up a tiny bit better than it was each time people fight over something for their personal gains at the expense of each other. This is a very slow process of moving towards the right path be it unknowingly and after a lot of painful suffering by hands of each other. The only fastest way to move towards the right way of life is education based revolution as it was brought about by each and every messenger of Allah. Such effort is hardly ever made by followers of those messengers. Had that been the case the deen of Allah ought to be there always as a real world reality but it was not the case. Messengers came and established deen of Allah and passed away but after them their followers could not keep up with similar hard works so kingdoms they brought about based upon guidance of Allah disappeared after them. The very same happened after the final messenger of Allah and since then no kingdom based upon the Quran has been established by the followers of the final messenger of Allah so far though some missionary work is on-going ever since and there is hope that kingdom based upon guidance of Allah will come about worldwide in the end never to disappear again because that is what the Quran promises. Information about deen of Islam is increasing throughout the world which lends support to the idea of reestablishment of kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. 20] Only those who are truly consistent with guidance of their Creator and Sustainer and with each other will end up lodged in lofty standards ending up in mansions one story above another, through which rivers of things of need will flow which is a promise by Allah and set-up systems and laws of Allah fails not in fulfilling His promise. This is bound to happen one day if people keep on working to better themselves by way of positive cooperation instead of competing against each other and ending up destroyed. 21] Why don’t you the mankind observe and learn how Allah sends down water from the heaven which penetrates the earth and comes out through water springs as fresh water? With it He brings forth a variety of crops with different colours then they wither and you see them turning yellow and then finally He crumbles them to dust. Surely in this example, there is a lesson for the people of understanding to observe and learn from. Word YANAABEE is from root NOON, BAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is a place from which water springs. Also water spring, the bursting forth of water from the ground, the water source, the water fountain, fountain of knowledge, brook, creek, channel, a pipe network for letting something through from the actual source to end user, a tube or duct, a means by which something is transmitted or transported from one place to another, tract, passage, conduit, underground water network, a small stream, a small river, a recess or inlet in the sure of the sea, an estuary, the new beginning, revival, resurrection, revolution, uprising, to be in a troublesome, difficult or unfortunate or inextricable position, to start a water spring, to bring about a water spring, to cause water to come forth from the ground in form of a spring, to run or cause to run smoothly, to be energetic or lively or active, to be a source of life or livelihood, to flow, to gush out or forth, to issue, to originate, fish or ink or something like fish or ink in some sense, house or something like house in some sense, eye or something like eye in some sense etc etc. Word MUSFARRAA is from root SWAAD, FAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is empty vessel that makes too much noise.

So bad news is for future of those whose minds remain closed to guidance of Allah! They are clearly on the path that is harmful and destructive. Word QAASIAH is from roots QAAF, SEEN and WOW/YAA.

Causing those become emotionally charged and excited thereby who are mindful of their Creator and Sustainer, that is why they remain within their set limits because their minds remain consistent with message of Allah. Such is the guidance of Allah whereby He guides whoever shows desire to be guided by making effort for it. But he whom He finds desiring error there is none who could guide him.

At the time it will be said to such as inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other, now taste the fruits of your own hard labour for misery. Word TAKSIBOON is from root KAAF, SEEN and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is birds of prey or something like birds of prey in some sense.

One is education based revolution, the other is bloody revolutions and yet other is a bit of carrot and a bit of stick. What is happening in the world is the third way ie a bit of education based revolutions and a bit of blood revolutions. When people do not listen to guidance of Allah based on reason then they are left to continue living the harmful and destructive way they invent and adopt by themselves for themselves but then they are made to face the consequences of their own thoughts and actions against each other and the result is very bad for them and particularly for masses who do not bother at all to know things one way or the other. They act as if they are just animals and nothing more because they allow each other to treat each other that way bringing upon themselves a lot of terribly painful suffering. 25] Those who have gone before them also denied coming of that terrible period of time for rejecting and opposing Our guidance due to thinking it is a lie, consequently the painful suffering overtook them through the sources or forces they least expected. In a human population which lives on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other, people are always stabbed in the back by their most trusted people. After all that is the way it benefits them personally so it is not their fault to do what the way of life demands of them to ensure they gain out of it at the loss of others. This is what a condemnable human population should always expect because bad ways of life cannot deliver any good for people who adopt them. Those who stab others in the back should also expect the very same for themselves because such people are part of the very same society that makes them live that way. Power struggle is power struggle no matter whichever way you look at it. In such a society all must fight for their survival for as long as they can and any way they can. This is why when any person does any harm to others in such human societies it is a clever move on his behalf rather than a crime against humanity. Bad luck for anyone who loses the battle for survival by hands of another. In any double standard based society almost all people have to be double faced even those who are forced to be so unless they rebel against such a society and that is only possible by a revolution based upon education. This is why messengers of Allah when they began their missions they tried their best to help educate people to bring them to their senses and they succeeded always. This is a clear proof that proper education of humanity always works if it is taken up as a mission by people to help each other. So people who wish to bring about kingdom based upon guidance of Allah they must educate themselves properly and then do the same for others. Just wishing for kingdom of Allah and doing nothing for bringing it about is not the way to get it rather people must prepare themselves to work for it just like messengers of Allah only then it will come about. This is why it is a mission and it needs missionaries not people sitting idle day dreaming. 26] That is how set-up systems and laws of Allah made them taste humiliation by hands of each other as outcome of their own thoughts and actions against each other because they chose to live in this world on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other. However the painful suffering that is yet to come for mankind by hands of each other is going to be even greater. The past people could have saved themselves from all that painful suffering had they bothered to learn to understand real world realities and Our guidance properly and so could you. Word KHIZYA is from roots KHAA, ZAA and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to humble. Also to control, to use abusively, to force someone into doing something against one’s will, to compel, to manipulate, to humiliate, to abase, to shame, to disgrace, to exercise self control, to restrain, to hold back from doing something, to suffer humiliation, to embarrass, to shy away from, to hide one’s face, to hide oneself from, to force someone into hiding out of fear and shame, to put an obstacle in the way of, to block the way of, to limit one’s freedom, to oppress or suppress, to make weapons or tools, to get weapons or tools for doing something, to use tools or weapons for some purpose, to bend or turn or twist, to be instrumental in something happening or doing, to be in a pivotal or central position, to have reach or jurisdiction or authority to have or do something, to have connection or linkage to something or someone, to be joined with something in some sense for some purpose, fence or wall or something like fence or wall in some sense, tool or weapon or something like tool or weapon in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, hand or something like hand in some sense etc etc. 27] We have pointed out for mankind all sorts of essential explanations in this Quran so that they could learn the necessary lessons by reflecting deeply over real world realities and Our revelation. 28] The consistent proclamation that is free of contradicting itself and real world realities, so that they could be consistent with it and with each other. It is of utmost importance for people to observe real world realities and learn sense of how to make proper sense of things and then use that sense to learn more sense by means of revelation of Allah by pondering deeply into the message of Allah and then adopt its advised way of life and see the results within a very short time. All people need to do is organise and regulate themselves into a proper human community on basis of goals and guidelines told in the Quran as explained in detail already instead of living the way they do as rivals and enemies of each other on basis personal gains at the expense of each other. 29] Allah brings you an explanation for your understanding - a worker who works for different people deeply involved in rivalries and animosities with each other, and another worker who works for just for one person - are both the workers in alike situation? Sovereignty belongs to Allah alone! However most of the people do not bother to learn about things properly in order to properly understand them. Word MUTASHAAKISOON is from root SHEEN, KAAF and SEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is to rival. Also to oppose, to differ, to stand against, to dispute, to fight, to be ill-natured, to be crooked, to be cross, to be quarrelsome, to be stubborn, to be arrogant, to be perverse, to be spitefully at variance with each other or one another, to be on opposite sides, to be on the other side of the fence or demarcation line, to be in malicious disharmony with one another, to not see each other eye to eye, to hate each other, to be or become divided, to be or become dispersed opposing factions or groups, to be sharp, to be clever, to be deceptive, to be cunning, to be tricky, to be a soft or easy target, to be kind, to be tender hearted, to be able to bear the brunt, to be able to put up with something, to be able to resist the impact, to be able to absorb the shock, to be able successfully defend against an attack, to cut, to consume, to devour, to byte, to injure, to inflict a wound, to be compassionate, to care, to be concerned, to be considerate, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, palm of hand or something like palm of hand in some sense etc etc. This verse explains clearly the way of life advised by Allah for mankind is the only proper way to live their lives by because it sets for all people the very same goals to accomplish with help and support of each other according to the very same set of provided guidelines which suit all people therefore rivalries and animosities cannot take place between people for so long as they hold fast onto that way of life. This is why there cannot occur any sort of sectism between people at all, which is clear proof that Islam is a deen not a mazhab. By adopting this way of life people share all their burdens with each other therefore there is no any unnecessary pressure on any individual from any other. On the other hand by adopting the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other mankind are setting themselves up as masters and slaves of each other therefore they can never be without rivalries and animosities therefore hatred and wars between themselves. In such a set-up each person is under pressure of all the rest and loyalties do not mean anything because people switch sides according to what they gain personally at loss of others. It is because in this setting each person is for himself. This is why when one is down it is unlikely that person will rise up again due to everyone else sitting on top of him or her if anything that person will perish under such huge pressure. This is why billions of people in the world are suffering greatly by hands of each other needlessly and all because they do not learn to be sensible people. This is why proper education is very important for mankind and people do not even bother to think what the proper education actually is. They try to learn professional education in order to get on the ladder if they can but they do not realise that even if they managed to get on that ladder yet they will not feel safe and secure at any point in their lives because there always one looking for knocking one down to make his or her own place there. People mistake rivalry and animosity based way of life for positive competition between themselves. Positive competition is a very different thing because it is based upon spirit of brotherhood to serve community better than each other and not to destroy each other and thereby the rest of human society out of envy and hatred for each other. The main question that people must ask themselves is, why should any of them work hard for others? It is because Allah says so and Allah only says so because it is for the good of humanity itself. Can anyone who does not accept existence of God or follows nonsense called dogmas in the very name of God answer such a question with full confidence? No, not at all which is a clear proof that the way of life invented and adopted by people can never lead mankind to a beautiful world that is promised by the Quran for them if they adopt its advised way of life. 30] You people will reach your promised end and they too will reach their promised end 31] because in due course on the day of uprising and establishment of deen of Islam your disputes will become settled according to set-up systems and laws of your Creator and Sustainer. The Quran clearly tells mankind that if they do not pay attention to solving all their differences in time then situation could arise that people rise up against each other and then that will be too late when the matter is decided through bloody upheavals. There are many verses in the Quran that tell people to be careful about rulers, priests and money lenders because they are always busy making plans for using and abusing people for their own ends. This is why they reject and oppose way of life advised by Allah and invent their own in His name and spread it for their own purposes. This is how the Quran explains how people invented religions and why and how they use them to get what they want. 32] So who could be more harmful and destructive for mankind than the one who invents and spreads a lie against the way of life advised by Allah and thereby rejects and opposes what is truly from Allah when it comes to him? Is agonising painful suffering not the fitting outcome for such as reject and oppose Our guidance? Word SIDQ is from root SWAAD, DAAL and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to be solid in some sense for some purpose. Also to be firm, to be strong, to be solid, to be firmly based or firmly founded, to be immoveable, something that does not budge or shift, something that stands its ground, something weighty or heavy, something that is true, to be sincere, to be truthful, to speak the truth, something that proves to be true, to say something through words of mouth which is firmly held to be true, to speak with full conviction, to say something whole heartedly, to prove a claim with evidence, to prove a commitment true through action, to be one in mind and body, to be confident, to be comfortable, to be friendly, to act as an intimate or very close friend or ally, to be a confidant, essence, juice, extract, to spread, to be deeply rooted, to branch out, to have a firm main body, a person who always speak the truth regardless of consequences, to say what is actually right or true, the one who does not lie, to utter or tell the truth, to fulfil one’s promise, to shine clearly, to be true to principles or friends, to be steadfast, to live for others, to be helpful and supportive, to be generous, to give alms, to be charitable, to pay dowry, to pay one’s dues, to honour a pledge, to keep one’s trust, to fulfil one’s obligations, to facilitate, to make way for, to help ease things, to pave the way for, to verify, to realise, to turn an abstract idea into a concrete reality, to make good a promise or claim, to accept something as true, to confirm the truth, to back up, to reinforce, to prove valid, to treat kindly or compassionately, to let forgo one’s right in the name of God, one who believes something true, one who says something is true, to hang on to something for some reason, tree or plant or something like tree or plant in some sense, door or something like door in some sense, monkey or something like monkey in some sense etc etc. Word MASWAA is from root SAA, WOW and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a place to live in. Also dwelling or abode or destination or goal, an animal enclosure, a place of residence, a foundation or base, something upon which one lives or relies in some sense, to live, to reside, to occupy, to abide in or abide by, something that gives one some basis to stand upon in some sense, to stay in a place, to remain in a place for a long time, to make a place a permanent place of residence, to station in a place for long, to have a place where one has peace or calm, a place where-in one finds comfort, to be a guest in a place, to be a host in a place, to be residents of a place, the owner of the house, the household, a room prepared for guests or visitors, public room, drawing room, a conference room, a place or shelter for keeping camels, a terrible place of residence, coffin, chest, box, link, connection, relationship, attachment, to deceive, to trick, to bend, to mould, to turn or twist, to have reach or to reach out, to have authority or jurisdiction, to handle, to have power over, womb or something like womb in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, hand or something like hand in some sense etc etc. 33] However the one who comes with the truth and the one who supports such a person are surely bound to be consistent with it and with each other. 34] They will have from their Creator and Sustainer guidance for all that they should express their desire for by making efforts for it. That is how will be rewarded those who work for making their world a beautiful place for mankind. 35] Allah provides such with guidance to help them do away with their such thoughts and actions which could cause them harms and destructions and so that they replace them with thoughts and actions which result in outcome that brings them life that is beautiful. 36] Therefore is guidance of Allah not sufficient for a people who choose to abide by His guidance? Yet the rejecters and opponents of His guidance dare draw your attention to rulers other than Him. That is why for those who move away from guidance of Allah there can be none who could guide them. Word KAAF is from roots KAAF, FAA and ALIF/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something sufficient to meet some need. Also to be enough, to be equal, to be capable, to have credibility, to reward, to be alike, to turn over, to tilt, to incline, to shield or protect, to shelter, to hide, to cover, to spare, to stand for someone, to have a modest income, to have sufficient food or drink, to meet the requirement, to yield, to be a peer, livelihood, to be satisfied, to be comfortable, to save one from going through trouble or difficulty or hardship, to take care of some problem for someone, to have power or control or authority or jurisdiction over, to be kind hearted, to be compassionate, to offer help and support, to resist, to be an easy target, to provide with cushioning effect, to be able to absorb an attack, to be able to bear a burden or responsibility, to spread rumours, to slander, to create a gap or distance, to move away from, to eat away, to devour or consume, to reach out, to catch up with, to come together in form of a group, to be a party or family or community or following, to link up with, palm of hand or something like palm of hand in some sense, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, stick or staff or something like stick or staff in some sense, hand or something like hand in some sense etc etc. 37] However the one who is properly guided by guidance of Allah none can lead him astray. Is Allah not then the mighty provider of sufficient guidance for purpose of keeping people on the proper track to blissful, dignified and secure existence? Word INTIQAAM is from root NOON, QAAF and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is middle part of the road. Also to disapprove, to rebuke, to condemn, to disdain, to dislike, to feel uncomfortable with something in some sense for some reason, to take something as defective or faulty or flawed, to take something as short of requirement, something that fails to measure up to standard set for it, to fall short of specifications, top commit crimes, to break the law, to transgress, to make someone face consequences of one’s thoughts or actions, to reward one for one’s thoughts or actions, to exact revenge, to punish, to deny, to be resentful, to exact vengeance, to hate, to reproach, to loathe, to take revenge, to inflict punishment, to take someone to task for something, to exact retribution, to try to hold together sheep or goats to walk in the middle of the road, to try to stop sheep from running away in various directions to lead them along the road safely, to set a path for something to flow along, to set limits for things to stay within for purpose of safety and security, to be a smooth operator, to be active or lively or energetic, to jump about, to hang on, to cause problems or troubles or difficulties, to over flow, to transgress, to cause flooding, to run about all over the place, to cause chaos and confusion, to inflict harms and destructions, fish or ink or something like fish or ink in some sense, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. Mankind not only need guidance but their own hard work as well to turn it into a concrete reality otherwise having an idea remains an idea and nothing more. A person can imagine building a great house for oneself but if one does educate and train oneself to turn that idea into a reality then that idea will not actualise no matter what. Likewise knowing how to live a good life is not enough till one gets up and does things that help one live a good life. 38] That is because if you ask your opponents who created the heavens and the earth? They will surely say Allah. Ask them, do you then see not that those whom you take for rulers other than Allah which of them can stop the harm coming my way if Allah lets it affect me or if He decided to let some benefit come my way could any of them withhold it from reaching me? Say, it is therefore obvious that guidance of Allah is sufficient for all my needs, that is why upon His set-up systems and laws should rely all those who wish to have something properly reliable to depend upon. Unless there is a proper foundation that is reliable to build upon whatever anyone does to build one’s life will not stand or for very long. So mankind must look for that proper foundation so that their works prove fruitful at the end of the day. This foundation is divine guidance for building a proper human community upon. This is the only proper way for mankind to live by that can last and prove blissful and dignifying. Even animals live as communities because they come from each other and mankind should learn from that but if they do not then they need to ask themselves, do they really deserve to have a blissful, dignified and secure life at all? The point is that if you will plant nothing you will reap nothing and if you will plant bitter fruit giving trees then you cannot expect to reap sweet fruits from them. So think carefully when planting what you want to reap when the time comes for harvesting the crops. 39] Say, O my people! Do all that is within your capability and I will do the same and soon you will come to know who has done really well and why 40] and upon whom will fall painful suffering and why that will remain in place and increase with time. Here in these verses is the litmus test for the truth of deen of Islam. Understand it properly and follow it faithfully as a proper human community and see within your life time the end result in form of a beautiful world for mankind. If not then carry on and keep on facing the consequences of your harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other. There is not going to be any change in set-up systems and laws of Allah ever. 41] O prophet, surely We have revealed to you this book for the set purpose of guidance for mankind. So any people who will follow it, they will do so for their own growth, development and prosperity but any who will go away from it will do so for keeping themselves away from growth, development and prosperity by remaining in chaos and confusion because you are not set upon them as a guard to make them follow Our guidance by force. These like verses very clearly explain that Allah does not need anyone to force his guidance upon people. However if people will not follow advice of Allah then they will end up troubling each other and that will always lead to use of force and will result in harm and destruction of humanity. If that happens then we humans should not look for excuses to blame God because God explains to us the situation very clearly and we can see if try that it is all our own doing. However even if we will blame God for troubles we create for ourselves, will that do any good for us or make us face more problems as time goes on? It is because accepting mistakes is first step towards recovery but avoiding accepting responsibility leads to bigger troubles because problems keep piling up without anyone looking for their proper solutions. 42] It is Allah who lets a personality fulfil its potential till the time it stops doing that and any personality that does not stop doing that He lets it continue even during its sleep or state of rest. Therefore His set-up systems and laws only holdback any personality from developing that fails to do so itself and thus makes His forewarning a reality about itself but He lets the rest continue grow till an appointed time. Surely there are lessons in all this for all those who observe and think things through thoroughly to understand them properly. This verse explain the fact that mankind must continue doing things that help them grow, develop and prosper and if they will set themselves on that course then even at times of rest they will keep on growing due to built up momentum unless they give up this way of living but if they will do that then clock will start rolling backwards and all that they had accomplished so far will start disappearing. The point made here is that for growing, the growth must continue or stopping will ruin everything. So mankind can only go forward or backward there is no such thing as permanent state of rest for humanity. It is a question of keep living or perish. For living a decent life mankind must plan, organise and regulate themselves and do things properly or chaos and confusion will make life hell and lead to self destruction. 43] Have they taken rulers other than Allah to intervene for them? Ask them, how can they intervene if they have neither full control over anything nor have they even the needed sense to do things properly? 44] Say, therefore right of proper intervention wholly rests with Allah because to him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and to His guidance you should all turn for your guidance. Mankind must ask some questions of themselves as to what they are thinking and doing to live is proper or not. It is obvious by its very results whether people are going about their lives properly or not. If not then what are they supposed to do? Carry on upon that path or stop and think of changing their course of actions? Where is sense in people worshipping various kinds of idols thinking they are appreciating God? If they have the urge to show gratitude to the creator then the best thing to do is to see what he says and do that. The Quran as we can see frees humanity from all kinds of nonsense beliefs and actions and tells mankind to use provided things properly for the goals the creator and sustainer has set for humanity. This brings growth and development for mankind so that is the proper way of appreciating provision and showing gratitude to creator and sustainer. If one’s father tells one to get him food but the person instead of getting him food starts worshipping his daddy could that be seen as a proper response to request of one’s father? Such an act will be thought of as utter madness. So thinking and doing what God requires is what is right response and not worshipping God instead. As the saying goes, there is a time and a place for everything and if wrong things are done at the wrong times then that is nothing less than harmful and destructive. 45] However when message of Allah as the only sovereign in the universe is proclaimed for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, the minds of those who deny themselves blissful, dignified and secure future become filled with pressure due to rage but when sovereignty for other than Allah is proclaimed, they become filled with joy. Word ISHMA-AZZAT is from root SHEEN, MEEM and ZAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to disdain. Also to dislike, to hate, to loathe, to feel deep discomfort with, to feel very unhappy with or about, to make bad or ugly faces, to be afraid, to be fearful, to be or become very frightened, something hair raising that takes place, to feel deeply distressed, to feel strangled, to experience difficulty in breathing, to feel heavy weight on the chest, to have serious concern or worry about something, to suffer from anxiety, to panic, to contract or shrink due to aversion or worry, to be disgusted about something, to abhor, to find something abhorrent or repugnant, to be sharp, to be clever, to be deceptive, to be cunning, to flow smoothly, to be active or lively or energetic, to be life giving, to make tools or weapons, to use tools or weapons, to be instrumental in doing something or making something happen, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, water or something like water in some sense, tool or weapon or something like tool or weapon in some sense etc etc. This happens because dominant people do not wish to be like everyone else on basis of human brotherhood because they believe in their heads they have been created to rule other people so they should do that. This they do because it gives them control over people and things on basis of life based upon foundation of personal gains at the expense of community spirit. This is the very root cause of all sorts of harms and destruction in human population because it uproots community spirit and brotherhood that is caring and sharing and replaces it with divisions, rivalries, animosities, hatred and wars etc. However, it is one thing some people fooling others but another that masses should be fooled by them despite having independent minds and personalities. If masses do not let anyone fool them then none can fool them and that is the real problem ie waking up of masses and that is why painful suffering even though is inflicted by dominant people it is brought upon themselves by the masses themselves by being stupid and happy with the way they are treated by such people and each other. After all, who gives the dominant people power over masses? The masses themselves by accepting their way of life and therefore their set-up and everything else that goes with it. The day masses decide to call it a day things can trigger massive change all of a sudden. The business culture based upon profiteering at each other’s expense could be ended in one day if masses decided to live with each other as an open human community instead of raising barriers between themselves. The model is already there in form of family life wherein all members of a family live together each doing his bit for the good of the rest of the family. Working together and caring for each other and sharing things with each other. So what is there to learn and debate about if people want to break down barriers they have put up themselves against each other? What are they waiting for? People who think we do not have alternative way of life so we cannot do away with the system we have adopted are not thinking properly because they are already living by that system if they looked at it closely. Family way of life is the way of life the Quran is putting forth but this family has to be well organised and regulated and for the right reasons so that it could be the best possible family of human beings. A family wherein there is no use and abuse of family members and each person tries his best to make life pleasant for the rest of the family members. It is dominant people who do not want family life that is why they use all kinds of tricks or techniques and mechanisms to keep this simple and straight forward way of life away from our minds. One can see in this light very clearly where do mullahs, money lenders, rulers, their touts and supporters stand. They are enemies of guidance from God and humanity because that is how they incriminate themselves by causing divisions in human family and keeping those divisions alive. This is how they earn their living. 46] Say, O Allah! The originator of the heavens and the earth Who makes in due course the future of mankind obvious for them as a result of their own thoughts and actions against each other at the present, I wish they became aware of the fact that it is Your guidance alone that can properly settle disputes between your human creatures concerning which they have been fighting with each other if they learn it properly and follow it faithfully. 47] However if they will continue ignoring Your advised way of life by continue living the way they choose for themselves then the foretold time period of uprisings will come and at that time those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other even if they possessed all the treasures of the earth and as much more like it, they will gladly offer it to others to be spared from the painful suffering during that forewarned time period of uprising but they will not be spared at all. That is how set-up systems and laws of Allah will confront them with results of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other something that they do not bother to work out for themselves now. Once masses wake up to what leading people among them are doing to them, things are not going to be very pleasant for them because revengeful public is very dangerous for its leadership. When people know they can grab things of others by force then they do not need any permission of anyone because they simply take them. If people have to die anyway after a lot of very painful suffering then it matters not to them what happens to them when they have taken up arms to deal with their oppressors and suppressors the same way. This is how slaves became kings and kings were turned into slaves by them. This is how one monarch ended up being over taken by another and so people who thought they were kings became slaves of those whom they did not even consider as anything of worth. This is a clear proof that nothing in this world belongs to anyone other than Allah and all people come and go the same way. No human being can be over all powerful ever because many tried and failed so far. It is therefore better that people learn how to behave properly with each other as told by their creator and sustainer and be much better off beyond their wildest of dreams. After all whatever people accomplish they only accomplish it as groups so if anyone was that powerful that one did not need others then why have or belong to a group in the first place? If people have to be in groups to accomplish things then why not be a one single united group as told by God and accomplish something for which their creator and his people are both happy? Why not educate and train each and every human being to be able to show his or her full potential in the world to turn it into a paradise for all in this world while they live? This is what will also bring a much better reward in hereafter as well. Where is sense in oppressing and suppressing each other for a hundred year life in this world and then be in hell in hereafter for the period of many life sentences which we human beings will have ruined in this world? Life is a living hell anyway for those who realise what wrong they have done to others even if there was no other punishment at all from God. 48] The harmful and destructive results of their harmful and destructive beliefs and deeds will become manifest to them at that time and they will be completely encircled by the very thing they take for a lie and a joke today. 49] However a human being is such a creature that when he falls in all sorts of difficulties and troubles due to his own ignorance based beliefs and deeds he cries to Us for guidance to have a trouble free blissful, dignified and secure life but when We bestow upon him information in form of Our blissful, dignified and life securing guidance in order to free him from his difficult situations and circumstances and bless him with prosperity he claims, this cleverness has been given to me because of a certain kind of information and its understanding that I possess. The truth is, it is a struggle through which mankind are put by Us for a set purpose yet most of them are bothered not with leaning of Our plan and purpose for them to become aware of it. It is a serious problem with mankind that they take credit for things they do not do but they do not take credit for things they actually do. Humans are provided with all they have by their creator and sustainer and all they can take credit for is their own efforts and hard works. Allah has no problems with giving people credit where it is due. People do not produce or distribute anything in which God is not their partner that is why people must never try to take credit for things they have no right to. This leads to all sorts of problems which people do not realise. For example, if mankind remain alert that God has created everything and people are only users of provided things then idea of private ownership does not arise in their minds because to claim ownership of anything one has to prove one owns it. Mankind cannot prove anything other than what God tells them this is why when God has given universe to people to manage it for themselves, it belongs to all people not just a few. God tells mankind to use it together as a proper human community for ensuring well being of each and every person. So people who try to take all from everyone else, do a very serious wrong. When they are asked why are you doing this to others? They say, we own it because we did this, that and the other. That is why verses like this one put mankind in their place that you own absolutely nothing because you did not create anything nor did your ancestors. The creator is the real owner of all things so all you can do is use what is provided as he says. If people will not decide matters between them on this basis then harms and destructions people inflict upon each other cannot be eliminated because if one group of people will give troubles to others then others will do the same to those who start the troubles. So one can imagine where all this mindset, attitude and behaviour can lead mankind. Is that the way to blissful, dignified and secure life or is that the way to utter destruction of humanity? Even if people think all belong to them because they have inherited it from their ancestors but then where did our ancestors come from? Ultimately we all have only one ancestor so we all have exactly the same right to whatever our ancestor left for us or do we not? If might is the only thing that decides our rights then how can we stop each other from fighting each other over our rights against each other? Can any promoter of atheism, agnosticism, mysticism, Sufism, religionism, sectarianism, capitalism or secularism or communism or socialism or democracy or authoritarianism or imperialism etc etc explain? I do not think so because humanity needs a solid or concrete foundation and that is only and only provided by the Quran and nothing else. A very clear proof beyond a shadow of doubt that the Quran is in fact word of God for human guidance for things people could never decide for themselves even in billions of years. It is a very clear proof of stupidity of scientists, philosophers, rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters etc etc. 50] The same was said and done by those who passed before them so they gained nothing from what they said and did 51] because the consequences of their own harmful and destructive beliefs and deeds overtook them. Very soon those who live by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby they inflict harms and destructions upon each other among these people will also be overtaken by the harmful and destructive consequences of their own wrong thoughts and misdeeds because mankind can never escape the results of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other due to set-up systems and laws of their Creator and Sustainer that never change or fail nor can be defeated. 52] Are they not made aware that Allah increases provisions for whichever people work for them as explained and withholds or restricts them for whichever people work against His advised way of life? Surely there are plenty of lessons to learn in all this for those who will commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind as a proper human community. The Quran repeatedly tells people to work according to its guidance and create a beautiful world for mankind with plentiful for each and every person or live by various versions of religions and secularisms and remain lacking in things totally or to a very large extent. This is why a huge majority of human beings in the world are suffering painfully by ignorance guidance of Allah by believing and doing things they are told not to believe and do. There is not a single verse in the Quran which tells people to rely upon baseless beliefs or ideologies and useless rituals and works and get a great life. The Quran needs to be understood properly and followed faithfully by people to get a great life in a beautiful world made by people themselves according to guidance of Allah. It is therefore of vital importance that people ask each other for proof as to what the words used in the Quran mean and how what is told in the Quran connects together to make sense in its proper context. 53] Say to My human creatures who are in despair due to inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other, do not remain cut-off from the way of life advised by Allah that can lead you to blissful, dignified and secure existence in this world because it is through His advised way of life Allah stops mankind altogether from inflicting harms and destructions upon each other. It is because He is protector of mankind through His guidance that can lead them to blissful, dignified and secure existence. Word TAQNATOO is from root QAAF, NOON and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to stop something in some sense. Also to fall into despair, to be or become despondent, to be or become desperate, to be in a regretful situation, to be in a sorry state, to prevent things of need getting to something, to end or cut off things of need from someone, to not to let someone have what one needs to live a comfortable life, to stop water from getting through to someone, to stop food from getting through to someone in need of it, to cause to become desperate, to make one despair, to force one into desperation, to lose hope for getting something or getting to something in some sense, to give up hope, to cause one to given up hope, to force one to give up hope, to be energetic or active or lively, to jump up and down for some reason, to hang on, to rely upon something for some reason, to be on a slippery slope, to be a smooth operator, a person who successfully manipulates people or situations, to be deceptive, to cheat, to be illusive, to refer to, to make use of ink, to write, to use something as reference point, to take something or someone for a guide in some sense, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, fish or something like fish in some sense, landmark or something like landmark in some sense etc etc. 54] Therefore turn to guidance from your Creator and Sustainer and commit to His program, constitution and law for unity, peace, progress and prosperity among yourselves as a proper human community before there comes to you the terrible painful suffering that you have been already warned against because then there will be none to help you out of that situation and you will perish. 55] Follow the way of life that is revealed by your Creator and Sustainer that can make your existence most beautiful before the terrible painful suffering befalls you all at once and you are caught in it unaware due to your remaining ignorant about it. 56] Lest one then says regretfully, bad news for my future because I ignored turning to guidance of Allah because I was of those who took for lies and mocked at His revealed program, constitution and law. Word FARATTU is from root FAA, RAA and TWAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to leave something far behind in some sense for some reason. Also to move ahead in a competition, to leave rivals or opponents behind in a race, to move aside or deviate, to neglect, to ignore, to give no importance to, to pay no attention to, to do not consider worthy or valuable, to be at the fore front, to lead or mislead, to be in excess, to let escape inadvertently, to rival, to oppose, to go against, to exceed the limit, to transgress, to add or increase the gap or distance between the rivals, to increase divide or opposition, to go beyond a set limit, to ignore the reference point or foundation or value, to over look, to hasten to inflict harm or destruction, to be quick in bringing harm or destruction to others, to be uncaring, to be inconsiderate, to be arrogant, to be stubborn, to exceed what is appropriate, to go beyond propriety, to act without thinking about the consequences, to do something regretful, to do something without thinking about something thoroughly, to be remiss, to be careless or reckless, to be wasteful, to fail to act in a proper way or right manner, to leave out, to exclude, to abandon, the wasted or abandoned or excluded, shortcoming or failure, to shift something from its place in some sense, to make something move from its position in some sense, the horse that moves ahead leaving the rest far behind in a race, to make something defective or faulty or flawed or incomplete, to come to regret one’s inappropriate actions, to omit, to decrease something from something, to leave one on his own and forget about him, to stay behind, to go beyond the set limit, to spread rumours, to accuse falsely, to increase or decrease the differences or disagreements or opposition or rivalries, to manage, to control, command and control centre, to lead, to act as guide or reference point or foundation, to consume, to make use of, to devour, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, head or something like head in some sense, landmark or something like landmark in some sense etc etc. 57] Or in case one then says, had Allah provided me with His guidance, I will have been one of those who were consistent with it and humanity. 58] Or in case one then says upon seeing the painful suffering, I wish I had another chance, I will then be certainly of those who work for making the world a beautiful place for existence of mankind. Word KARRAH is from root KAA, RAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a thick rope made of multi strands. Also something that is repeated over and over again and again many times, to turn round, to return, to turn around, to repeat, to go back and forth, to keep doing same thing again and again, to turn or twist, to emphasise, to make something look important or be important or of value, to gather, to give back, to send back, to change the situation or circumstances, day and night process or phenomenon that keeps happening again and again or repeatedly, to assail, to be undecided, to cough, a turn, another chance or opportunity, to have another go at something, another time, to overrun an enemy, to defeat, to overwhelm, to overcome, to make something look strong or be strong, to be kind hearted, to be compassionate, to be able to resist an attack, to cushion the shock, to make comfortable, to manage, to control, to lead, to think, to plan ahead, palm of hand or something like palm of hand in some sense, head or something like head in some sense etc etc. 59] This is why I tell such people now while they still have time to repent and reform to do so because information about My set goals and guidelines for you has come to you yet you are denying yourselves the chance of life based upon them out of sense of dominating each other by undermining each other for personal gains at the expense of each other and you are among those who reject, oppose and fight against My guidance. 60] On the day of uprising when deen of Allah will become established you the mankind will see that the faces of those who utter falsehood against Allah just now will be covered in doom and gloom. Is terrible state of existence not the proper outcome for courses of actions of those who live for dominating each other by undermining each other for personal gains at the expense of each other? Word MUSWADDAH is from roots SEEN, WOW and DAAL and SEEN, YAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to lead. Also to guide, to be a chief, to be a master, to be a teacher, to be a leading woman, to be a lord, to be a king or monarch, to be a noble or notable person, a person of high importance, a people of high importance, a highly valuable people, a lot of people, a largest party of people, a largest community, masses, general public in great number, numerous people, to be a leading person or party or family or clan or tribe or community, to have plenty of useful things, treasure, wealth, abundance of things, prosperity, villages around the main city, a leader with a huge following or supporting people, the largest part or section of a community, a respectable or influential person of a community, trouble or difficulty or hardship or poverty or sadness or sorrow or grief, dark days, sad or dark future, failure, disgrace, humiliation, darkness, black, black colour, blackened, worry, anxiety, regret, abasement, to be sharp, to consume, to waste, to devour, to blacken, to become black or dark, to feel ashamed, to put to shame, to disgrace, to deceive, to be cunning or tricky, to be tactful, to lock on, to catch on, to join with, to gather, to bring in fold, to make a way through, to put an obstacle in the way, to prevent, to block, controlled entry or exist, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, door or something like door in some sense etc etc. The Quran repeatedly condemns people for invented and adopting a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other but only because it puts mankind through hell of its own making worldwide. 61] On the contrary program, constitution and law of Allah will deliver the promised kingdoms to those who will prove to be consistent with them and each other. No harm and destruction will touch them therein nor will they have anything to regret about so long as they will abide therein by guidance of Allah. Word MAFAAZAH is from root FAA, WOW and ZAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to succeed in achieving one’s objective. Also to accomplish one’s goal, to get what one aims for or desires, to triumph, to succeed or be successful, to distance oneself far away from danger, to achieve, to accomplish, to be victorious, to be a winner in a struggle for something, to gain, to profit, to benefit, to be in a safe place, to be in a comfortable situation or circumstances, to save oneself from loss or damage or harm, to be far away from poverty or disease or trouble or difficulty, perilous desert, a place of danger or safety, victory or achievement, to boast, to talk big, to make empty noises, to slander, to accuse falsely, to link to, to connect with, to have something to do with, to fight, to struggle, to make weapons, to use tools, to twist or turn, to deceive, to play an effective role in something happening, to make something happen, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, weapon or tool or something like weapon or tool in some sense etc etc. 62] Allah is creator and evolver of all things and He alone has set up systems and laws as a disposer of all affairs concerning all things. 63] In His guidance alone rest all the keys for opening up the ways to heavens and the earth for ensuring the well being of mankind. So those who deny to themselves and others the chances of living for accomplishing set goals of Allah according to His provided guidelines they are bound to be of those who are in a huge loss. Word MAQAALEED is from root QAAF, LAAM and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is a key to a lock in some sense to open up or shut down something in some sense for some purpose. Also a way to something, a ladder or staircase, ways and means to reach or get something, a treasure that is kept under lock and key, water store or reservoir, a key to progress and prosperity or regression and poverty, a recipe for success or failure, a braided bracelet, ornament/s, jewellery, garlands, wreaths, case, chest, lawsuit, cream, share, a safe, a necklace or neck band, fetter or chain around the neck, to adorn with something around the neck, to honour, to mark with a band around the neck, to overwhelm, to twist metal together, to entrust with a task or responsibility or mission, to appoint, to undertake a task or mission or goal, to emulate, to follow blindly, to control a camel with a rope and hook through its nostril, to control a bull with rope through its nose or around its neck, to break a horse for riding, to conform, to make one conform, to follow on the footsteps of, to have blind faith in something, to put one’s trust into something for no reason at all, to jump about, to hang onto something, to motivate, to urge, to push, to encourage, to control entry or exit, to deceive, to cheat, to con, to play trick on, to control way through to something in some way, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, ox-goad or something like ox-goad in some sense, door or something like door in some sense etc etc. This verse leaves us in no doubt that Allah has created mankind for exploring the universe for their own growth, development and prosperity as a proper human community so the huge potential in mankind is yet to materialise. In other words we have not seen anything much yet in science and technology because greater discoveries are yet to be made and huge explorative missions are yet to be carried out in the distance future when people will work together as one single community. 64] Say to those who take for rulers other than Allah, O you who have never studied and thought about purpose of guidance of Allah properly, how right could you be in telling me to abide by rule of others than Allah Here the Quran demands of a person to study it for its purpose so that then one could see the context in which to study the Quran. Unless purpose of something is paid proper attention nothing else can make proper sense. A very clear difference between concept of deen of Islam and concept of mazhab of Islam. As explained already in detail mazhab cannot go beyond conjectures of individuals because brains, senses and bodies of human beings are not capable of detecting God therefore unless God contacts mankind there is no way anyone could know anything about God for sure. If God contacts human beings then he ought to have a purpose for doing so otherwise there is no need for God to get in touch with mankind. So one can see how important it is have sense of purpose for things because without that things cannot have any context at all. The sense of purpose defines things for their contexts just like use of a word in a sentence. If a person says word one and does not clarify what is meant by it then word one is nothing more than a word that has no purpose therefore no context. When a person says to a shopkeeper give me an orange, the shopkeeper has no problem in making sense of what is said to him by the customer. This is how words define each other in a context when they are looked at in a sensible way. In a way the Quran is also supposed to be understood this way ie each word used in the Quran defines other words used in it and that is how words together define the purpose of the revelation of the Quran. The purpose of revelation of the Quran is guidance of mankind. The question is, what is meant by guidance? Guidance about things for which human beings depend upon their creator and sustainer eg purpose for which Allah has created human being. Likewise there arise many other questions along the way as explained already. The more we learn the more we ask questions and the more answers we find in the Quran. It is in a way a never ending exercise and that is because to question is necessary for learning anything at all. Unless questions arise in our minds about things we cannot look for their answers or understand their answers. In fact there are all kinds of answers in the Quran about all sorts of things but we have not yet thought about them therefore we cannot see those answers yet till we ourselves come to that stage of learning. Think about when we were babies and how by asking questions we learned things we never knew before and could not know about them if we did not ask questions and looked for answers. This is a very clear proof that those who stop people from asking questions, they are cannot be learned people because only foolish people will tell others not to ask questions for learning about things. If learning is to be encouraged then questioning of things must also be encouraged not discouraged. If there is no curiosity then there is no questioning or learning it is simple as that. Being born ignorant and remaining ignorant is nothing more than waste of life for a human being. It is impossible to learn anything about anything without asking questions. However questions should be for purpose of learning about things and not for insulting intelligence of people because that will be offensive and very damaging for learning process itself. Scrutiny or critical examination of things is necessary for knowing the truth about them or for knowing what is right or wrong about them and why. The Quran itself is full of questions and answers for the very same reasons. This verse itself is teaching questioning of things. 65] when it has already been revealed to you as it was revealed to those before you that if you will take for rulers others than Allah then all your thoughts and actions will become harmful and destructive against each other and you will surely be among those who are in terrible loss as a human population? Here the Quran is clearly telling people don’t confuse the truth with the falsehood ie the way of life advised by Allah is not to be taken as way of life invented and adopted by people themselves. The deen of Allah must not be taken for the mazhab invented by people themselves. The question is, what will happen if people will do that? They will become masters and slaves of each other and therefore will become target of each other for use and abuse by each other. The reason is when people open themselves to accepting anything invented by people as word of God then they are opening themselves to accepting anything in the name of God by anyone and therefore clever among them could play tricks on foolish ones among them. This is exactly what is happening in the world right before our very eyes. There are many con artists who are making fools of masses at a grand scale due to their ignorance and foolishness. Just as people are fooled in the name of God through different versions of mazhab by their priests so they are fooled by those who work for different versions of secularism and democracy etc etc eg rulers and money lenders or politicians etc. By money lenders I mean all people who work for this system in any way to keep it going. This is why unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind is not possible through secularism or religion=mazhab. The sole idea that gives concrete road map for well being of humanity is deen of Islam as explained in detail in the Quran. This is why this work on the Quran concentrates on educating people as to how they should study the Quran by themselves and not through mullahs. money lenders, rulers, their touts and supporters. It is because they are foolish and they want everyone else to be like them also ie ignorant fools who are enemies of humanity. They have been promising masses the heaven on the earth for eons but so far they have failed humanity badly therefore it is time for masses to study the Quran themselves and follow it faithfully and see the heaven on the earth well within life time of a person. Should masses remain in confusion and not bother with proper study of the Quran by themselves then situation will not change from what it is and what it has been for as many more years yet. So it is up to people themselves as to what they really want for themselves a life in paradise by making of themselves or a life in hell by making of themselves. This verse clearly explains what is meant by SHIRK=polytheism. It not only means to believe in more than one God but also to equate anything with God in a way one cannot be like God ie a sovereign of this universe. To assume a human being is a God or is a sovereign in this universe is equating a human being with God. This is why such a belief is also taken as shirk or polytheism. It is for this reason none can allow or forbid anything in the name of deen of Islam without backing of the Quran itself. People can only make something legal or illegal for having or doing if the Quran permits it for them not otherwise as explained already in detail. It is because anyone who rejects and opposes living by rule of law of Allah is called a KAAFIR by the Quran. Likewise who refuses to live by rule of law Allah is called a ZAALIM ie a person who does not do things properly as required. The other word used is FAASIQ ie the one who divides humanity by breaking up its unity and keeping it that way. This is why no mistake by anyone is as dangerous and destructive for humanity as committing of SHIRK by a person. 66] Therefore abide only by program, constitution and law of Allah so that you could make proper use of provided things for ensuring well being of each other. 67] Despite all this explanation still they live not by provided standard of Allah as they are supposed to for building their proper human community upon this provided foundation for them, therefore the whole human population of the world together will fall under the grip of His set-up systems and laws resulting in a period of uprisings and upheavals whereby social divisions based upon dominance and undermining will be evened out by His properly set-up systems and laws and so His deen of Islam will become a fully established reality in this world. That is how His set-up systems and laws are constantly at work to make it obvious to mankind that His universe is free of rulers they take for themselves instead of Allah. Word QABDAH is from root QAAF, BAA and DWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is to take possession of something in some sense. Also to take hold of something in some sense, to get something under one’s full control in some sense, to have power or authority over something, to take a handful, to contract, to seize, to grab, to handle, to control, to depress, to fold up, to drive fast, to draw in, to close, to straiten, to hold back, to squeeze, to withhold, to grasp, to take in hand, to reduce, to shrink, to overwhelm, to cover up, to influence, to protect, to shelter, to provide with refuge or sanctuary, to take under one’s care, to spread, to branch out, to converge or diverge, to disperse or scatter, to jump about, to be active or lively or energetic, to stretch or contract, to hang onto something in some sense, family, household, support, following, back up, reinforcement, extract, juice or essence, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, house or something like house in some sense, tree or something like tree in some sense etc etc. If people will not live by revealed guidance of Allah for them then set-up systems and laws in this universe will take over and they will be forced by consequences of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other to correct their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours or end up being destroyed by hands of each other after suffering terribly painful existence at each other’s hands. This is how Allah has bound future of mankind to their own thoughts and actions. This explains what is meant by predestination. It does not mean Allah knows what you are going to do but that he knows what will happen if you did things one way rather than the other. He has set up things on basis of possibilities and conditions, so if mankind will fulfil one set of conditions then those conditions have a preset outcome eg if you will put your hand in the fire then you will get burnt. If you will farm your land properly then it will bring forth harvest you intended otherwise it will bring forth whatever fulfilled conditions dictate. Likewise results of actions of people will be good if they followed guidance of Allah faithfully or terrible if they did not. This verse is of fundamental importance because it is talking about how people value concept of God. If people have wrong concept about God then whatever they will attribute to God and therefore think and do will be very harmful and destructive for them but if they have proper concept about God then they will think and do things that will ensure their well being and therefore will give them a brilliant future. Here the Quran tells mankind to have proper concept of God or you are in a big trouble. The question is, how can mankind have the proper concept about God? This tells us it is necessary to know properly and follow deen of Allah faithfully and not to follow religions=dogmas based on baseless assumptions. This verse also makes the difference between deen of Islam and mazhab of Islam very clear for those who have learned sense of making proper sense of things. Here the Quran also explains to mankind what the proper concept about God is ie he is the one by whose set up systems and laws things take place in the natural world wherein human beings cannot interfere beyond their limited freedom and that is why the world works the way it is set-up to work. So no matter who claims to be God or ruler or sovereign or king, none has the full control over anything at all in the natural world. This is a clear proof for mankind that God alone is rightful king, ruler or sovereign in this universe. If one has no full control over natural world then one is lying when one claims to be the rightful ruler over anything in this world. This is why such people who make such claims or accept such claims are all ignorant fools so they should educate themselves to see where they are going wrong. This is why if people will not learn sense then laws of nature will take humanity where they ought to be going by force and that is exactly what is happening in the world that people keep fighting each other and kicking each other in the right direction without even knowing about it. This is why they are suffering painfully and over a very long period of time just for a tiny little bit of progress. Had they taken the road that was advised for them by God willingly for their own good they will have been there a very long time ago and with much less effort. This is the difference in speed of human progress by going about life in a different way than told by God. Regardless what people think and do to each other ultimately deen of Allah will become fully established in this world for all mankind as it is for the natural universe whereby it works without failure. As explained already in detail that if people will not educate themselves and adopt deen of Islam themselves then their interactions with each other will gradually drive them to that end anyway through a lot of punishment by hands of each other and even that for a very long time, so it is better for mankind to stop and think what they are doing and why and if need be change their course of actions for their own good. If not then things will only get much worse here and there before they start getting better. 68] That is why masses become filled with motivation for reaction and all people in positions of power as well as those down trodden are taken over by rage against each other save those who stick to guidance of Allah as they are supposed to. Thereafter many of them become inspired again because of this situation for their future so they rise up to stand on their own feet by building their community upon provided proper foundation looking forward to their blissful, dignified and secure existence. Word SAIQA is from root SWAD, AIN and QAAF. Concrete root meaning of this root is to become unconsciousness due to some external cause as if struck by a thunderbolt. Also to be or become unconscious due to being overwhelmed by an unpleasant situation or circumstances, to be caught by a thunderbolt, to be caught by surprise or unexpectedly or unaware or suddenly by an unpleasant experience, to smite with a thunderbolt, to be thunderstruck, to stupefy, to fall down unconscious, to pass out, to swoon, to be knocked out or knocked down unconscious, a deafening noise, thundering of thunderclap or uproar of some sort, noise of upheaval or uprising, tumult or disturbance noise, lightening, braying of a donkey, neighing of a horse, to lose intellectual ability, to lose sense of awareness, the noise made by falling in wall of a well, a disaster or calamity or catastrophe, death and destruction, punishment, to be or become void of sense of making sense of things, to branch out, to become uprooted, to become decomposed, to lose oneself, to become unfounded or baseless, to hang onto something, to jump about senselessly, to lose sight or support or backing of someone or something, to lose connection with something or someone, tree or something like tree in some sense, eye or something like eye in some sense, monkey or something like monkey in some sense etc etc. 69] This is how in due course kingdom brought about in the name of Allah will shine forth as an example for the rest of the countries to follow due to light of guidance by its Creator and Sustainer because the book of guidance will be laid open in actual reality in form of a proper human community in this kingdom just as it happened at the times of messengers of Allah in the past long ago due to which they stood as exemplary communities for the rest of human populations to witness and follow because dealings between them will be conducted appropriately so they will not be inflicted with any harms or destructions by each other at all as they have been doing always. In the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah things will progress rapidly because people will become a proper human community instead of rivals and enemies which will redirect their energies to constructive targets instead of fighting each other and holding each other back from progress and prosperity. This is why whatever efforts anyone will put into any tasks will yield proper and full return. When people fight each other then most of their energies are wasted on trying to fight off each other so very little return is yield by their efforts. These verses do not mean people will keep what they will produce by their labour or hard work because that is not the context in which the Quran explains things. It tells us to bring about a complementary human community in which all people do their best to produce whatever community requires and then deliver to each and every person whatever one needs or whatever community can afford best for its members as explained in detail already. 70] Instead each person from then on will receive full returns for his or her efforts according to his or her works and that is how His set-up systems and laws will make obvious for the rest of human populations to see what they are supposed to be doing for their own human populations. When people will start learning and living properly as proper human communities based upon guidance of Allah by seeing how the original proper human community has set itself up then this world will change completely from a hell hole to a paradise. All because contributions in form of labour by each and every person in the community for building up their community will bring about full returns as outcomes with help and support of each other as oppose to people trying to dominate and undermine each other thereby ending up destroyed by each other. 71] However those who will continue rejecting and opposing Our guidance till then they will be driven to life of hell by each other in groups till then. When they will reach that state of existence the doors to that kind of life will become open for them but Our missionaries who will have warned them from going down that road will say to them, did there not come to you messengers of Allah the human beings from among yourselves who proclaimed to you goals and guidelines of your Creator and Sustainer and forewarned you about coming face to face with this period of time? Yes, they will reply but warning of Allah that those who will reject and oppose His advised way of life will land themselves into painful suffering will have been turned into a reality by them for themselves despite being warned in advance about it due to their ignoring of such warnings. Word KHAZANAH is from root KHAA, ZAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is to store. Also to treasure, to hide, to keep, to gather, to hoard, to take a short cut, to be a storekeeper, to be a manager, to be a treasurer, to make or use tools or weapons, to put up a wall, to set limits, to shelter or shield or cover, to hide, to provide with security or sanctuary or protection or refuge, to take under care, to take into custody, to be responsible or answerable or accountable or liable for something, to be in charge, to keep secret, to manage, to control, to own, to keep, to isolate, to separate, to divide, to boycott, to be instrumental in being or doing something in some sense, to facilitate, to remain safe and secure, to provide with ways and means, to be smooth operator, to pave the way, to make way, to be on a slippery slope, to be deceptive, to be active or lively or energetic, a safe place where-in a treasure or something of value is kept for safe keeping, a safe way whereby something of value is kept safe and secure, keeper, warden, treasure house, storehouse, treasury, knowledge, information, resources, fence or something like fence in some sense, weapon or something like weapon in some sense, fish or something like fish in some sense etc etc. 72] So it will be said to them, enter the doors to life of hell of your own making if you must to live therein but the fact is, terribly painful is way of life of those who try to dominate each other by undermining each other. People who choose to live by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other make their lives hell as well as of those who follow them blindly due to being ignorant fools who think of themselves being clever beyond belief. 73] As for those who will be consistent with guidance of their Creator and Sustainer and with each other, they will be led towards blissful, dignified and secure existence by each other in groups till they reach the stage of their journey when the doors to blissful, dignified and secure life will open for them, and Our missionaries will say to them, blissful, dignified and secure life is upon you! You have done well but enter to live therein forever by keep doing well. Word TIBTUM is from root TWAA, YAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is all things upon which depends mental and physical well being of human beings. Also all things that can ensure mental and physical development of human beings, things which can provide human beings with a good life, things that give mankind pleasure and happiness, thing that provide human beings with nourishment as food or drink, thing that help sustain human existence, things that help sustain human development and prosperity, fragrance, perfume, cleanliness, purity, sincerity, healthiness, clarity, paradise, goodness, chastity, purity of character, affluency, prosperity, righteousness, piety, something permanent or lasting, something deeply rooted, greenery or fertile piece of land that yields abundantly, something that keeps on stretching its branches or keeps growing bigger and bigger or stronger and stronger, something perfect or wholesome or complete, something that is favoured or desired, something appropriate or proper or fair, something agreeable or pleasant, something that gives pleasure when touched or smelled or tasted or heard or seen, to be good, to be agreeable, to be willing, to mollify, to become ripe, to regain health, a solid reference point, something high or lofty in some sense, something that is used for guidance, lamppost, jurisdiction, power, authority, to have control over something, to be able to reach something in some way, family, household, support or following or back-up, to shelter or shield, to provide with sanctuary or refuge, to limit or cover or hide, landmark or something like landmark in some sense, hand or something like hand in some sense, house or something like house in some sense etc etc. 74] They will say, sovereignty only belongs to Allah Whose set-up systems and laws have turned His promise with us into a reality and gave us this land to live in and we can live in this blissful, dignified and secure life providing kingdom as we want according to guidance of Allah. How excellent will be the reward for those who think and do works that can lead them to blissful, dignified and secure existence. Word NATABUWWAA is from root BAA, WOW and ALIF. Concrete meaning of this root is to prepare something for someone. Also to pave the way or even out things for someone, to iron out the wrinkles or creases from the clothes, to even out unevenness in the path or place, to make something agreeable or to meet the requirements, to train people for a purpose, to prepare or make ready a place for a purpose, dwelling or home or residence, to take over a place for settling in, to provide abode for others, to have a guesthouse, to take a wife, to get married, to come back or come back with, to incur, to admit, to bring upon oneself, to earn, equality, a situation, to settle or lodge or establish someone in a place, to be liable or accountable, to accept, to carry a burden or responsibility, to become equals, to appoint a place for settling in, to grant something to someone, to take an abode for residence, to settle down, to reside, to abide, to rank or organise in an orderly manner, to become agreeable or as required, to have roof over the head, an umbrella or canopy or dome, a structure or building of some sort, to link, to connect, to join, to get or come together, to refer to, to get in touch with, to go back to, power, authority, strength, family or following or support, house or something like house in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, staff or something like staff in some sense etc etc. 75] You will see the administrators of the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah knowing properly and covering all aspects of state obligations and responsibilities faithfully working very hard to manifest glory of the kingdom based upon guidance of their Creator and Sustainer, by deciding all matters according to prescribed rights and responsibilities. That is why all will end up saying, right of sovereignty only belongs to Allah the creator and sustainer of all the human populations in the world. Word HAAFFEEN is from root HAA, FAA and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to work within set limits. Also to hand on to something in some sense, to surround or encompass something in some sense, to have full control or authority over something in some sense, to have proper or comprehensive or perfect understanding of something, to clip or trim, to take care of something in a comprehensive way, to manage something properly or comprehensive as required or necessitated, to suffer paucity of food or water, to suffer scarcity of food or something, to have a small number of things in a set, to have a small number of people in a group or gang, paucity of natural resources, to suffer poverty or dearth of food, sides of a mountain, entourage, to trim the edges, to be on the edge, to encircle, hair around the head of a baldy person, to go around something in some sense, to shield, to separate, to isolate, to boycott, to build a wall around, to divide into sections or ranks, to organise or regulate or run a project or something in some sense, to block, to stop or prevent, to accuse falsely, to spread rumours, to slander, to backbite, to hang onto something in some sense for some purpose, to be deceptive, to be clever or cunning, to distance oneself from something in some sense for some purpose, to have gift of gab, to be talkative, to create a gap or difference, to distinguish oneself from the rest, fence or something like fence in some sense, mouth or something like mouth in some sense etc etc. |
Re: God, a provable reality or a mere fiction?
Surah 40 AL-MUMIN–A person committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to guidance of Allah in order to bring about a proper human community so that an exemplary kingdom based upon guidance of Allah could be brought about in reality to help mankind have blissful, dignified and secure life in this world
This surah is named AL-MUMIN from root ALIF, MEEM and NOON. It has been explained already. This surah is named AL-MUMIN because it deals with definition of who a MUMIN person is ie the one who commits to working for unity of mankind to bring about peace between people in order to clear the way for progress full speed ahead so that mankind end up prosperous or in blissful life of dignity and security. The Quran does not accept anyone a Muslim unless one fits the definition explained by the Quran. The idea that anyone who declares his commitment to the Quranic program is a Muslim is not true unless one backs up one’s declaration in form of words with one’s deeds. The question is, what sort of deeds are expected of a person who wishes to live by Quranic message? It all depends on at what stage one is in relation to Quranic program. For example, if a person never read the Quran himself then his next step should be to read the Quran for himself to make proper sense of its message. Once one has made proper sense of Quranic message then next stage is to share the message with rest of humanity as far as it is possible for the person. As message is passed on from person to person there will come a stage when people who like the message will wish to form a community so when it comes to that people should try organising themselves and regulating themselves as a proper human community based upon Quranic framework or guidance. The message of the Quran should be spread to help community keep growing. The while the community is growing people should act as one people. Dealing with each other according to the Quran in every matter that faces them. They should deal with those who have not become part of the community as they are dealt with by them but not in a way that ends up shutting the gate to the nonMuslim world. This should keep on happening till people have a piece of land under their control which should then be run according to Quranic guidance. The mission should never be stopped at any stage in order to spread the message worldwide. The more and more people understand the Quranic concept of kingdom of God the more and more people will turn to it and country after country will adopt this program for ensuring their own well being. A stage will be reached whereby those who wish to enslave others will oppose this message as such people always did. They did it through false propaganda and warfare. Muslim community therefore must prepare itself for dealing with such people. It must always be top priority to put across message of Allah properly so that it becomes impossible for opponents of the Quranic message to attack it through ideological warfare to undermine it. This will undermine opposition because humanity will not support falsehood knowingly. If most of humanity adopts Quranic message being fully convinced then no matter how strong the opponents of Quranic message are they will lose their courage and will be also forced to embrace Islam. Look at history of rulers in the past, did Pharaoh not declare he accepts message of Allah? Likewise rulers no matter how strong they think they are when become weak lose courage and give up their false hopes and ambitions and desires. It is because they can see they cannot fulfil them. The dying emperors and rulers could also prove dangerous so Muslims should prepare for all kinds of eventualities. Islam is not at all what mullahs have been telling the ummah ie it is not a religion or a baseless belief system needing blind faith and useless rituals. It is ADDEEN a proper way of living for humanity, which means a social management system whereby learned people ought to manage human population and resources for the benefit of humanity as a whole. In other words how human population and resources are managed is business of Allah which only those people should carry out who can prove they know the Quranic message properly. People who have never read the Quran to understand its message properly can never do so. This means there is a lot of ground to cover before humanity can truly bring about kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. The main thing is people educating each other freely as much as they can because unless people are educated they cannot understand the message of the Quran. If the message of the Quran is not understood properly then it cannot be spread properly and so one can see that Quranic program will remain a distant dream for those who think it should become a reality. On the contrary if it is not allowed to become a reality or Muslims do not bother making a really good effort for it then humanity has no way to escape its existence full of painful suffering. So decision rests with people particularly those who are bearing the brunt or are at the receiving end of all this use and abuse going on throughout the world. Rulers, mullahs, money lenders, politicians, media etc etc can all tell us what they like but reality is that whole world is in grip of terrible painful suffering. People are taking anti depressants in huge numbers even in so called developed countries which shows failure on part of these people. There are many kinds of troubles even in the developed countries because their prisons are full, their hospitals are full. Their unemployment offices are full of jobless people. Talent is being killed and wasted deliberately as well as through false ways of life which set people up against each other in rivalry and animosity. Other than a few top families who are filthy rich no one has any security of future to have a family or even a life as an individual. Pressures are keep building up so things can get out of control at any time anywhere in the world. This is why people must read the Quran and see what solutions it offers and whether those solutions are the best or worst. If they are the best then why should they not be adopted without any further delay to end this uncertainty and misery in the world? Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind, 1] HAA MEEM. As explained already the main reason for which these letters are used in the Quran is to make mankind become aware of the fact that their original language was body language and sign language to which were related sounds and that is how came about speech based communication between people. To signs and sounds were related pictures and that is how came about reading and writing based communication between human beings. Since people had to communicate many things to each other therefore they came up with idea of many signs and sounds and pictures and used them as basic set of alphabets. By combining alphabet letters in different combinations they got many words. This is how developed speaking, reading and writing as well as there came about modification of writing styles ie gradually pictures of letters disappeared and symbols for letters came about. Today one does not draw picture of an ox for letter ALIF or picture of an eye for letter AIN. Some letters were modified by dots in order to get more symbols for more sounds eg TAA was modified into SAA, HAA was modified into KHAA by using a dots in various combinations, DAAL was modified into ZAAL, SEEN was changed into SHEEN, SWAAD was modified into DWAAD, TWAA was modified into ZWAA, AIN was modified into GHAIN. The modified letters have exactly the same meanings as the original eg TAA and SAA both mean womb or basket etc, HAA and KHAA both mean fence or wall etc, DAAL and ZAAL both mean door or controlled entry and exist etc, SEEN and SHEEN both mean tooth or teeth or sharp teeth or cut or destruction or consumption etc etc. The main point made by the Quran by use of these letters is that if one does not understand the connection between human communication and language and its development then one cannot understand the message of the Quran. It is because the message is using words and words have meanings and the reason why words have meanings which they have involves mechanism as explained in detail already ie a letter is a name of something and the thing is not only a thing but it does something as well or it is used for some purpose etc etc. Here letter HAA means fence or wall and wall or fence have a purpose. A wall could provide protection or act as an obstacle etc depending upon the purpose of using a wall. Likewise letter MEEM means water and water also has properties or characteristics. It can give life as well as can cause flooding thereby death and destruction etc etc. This is why same word can have both negative as well as positive meanings. Although purposes for use of these letters in the Quran have been discovered and are being discovered their meanings that fit the Quranic context still need to be determined after careful study of the Quranic text and real world realities. It is because even though God knows what he is talking about but people do not till they find out for themselves. Once people will do that, it will make the reading of the Quran yet more interesting because the Quranic text will make yet better sense. It is far too much work for me as an individual to delve into these aspects of the Quran in detail but may be one day some people will start making efforts in this direction as well in form of large groups in order to discover things in the Quran which people have not yet managed to discover about the Quran. The proper understanding of the way the human language came about and developed helps understand dictionary meanings in a much better way than ever before which in turn helps to know things about the Quran much easier. 2] The revelation of this book containing all kinds of necessary information such as program, goals and guidelines for mankind for forming constitution and laws is sent by Allah, the mighty ruler of the kingdom of this universe Who makes all things obvious for mankind to know properly and follow the proper way of life faithfully, 3] because He thereby protects mankind against all kinds of problems and helps mankind overcome all their mistakes by making them hold onto His guidelines strictly because He has all things within His reach comprehensively. There is no ruler of this kingdom other than Him with whom alone rests responsibility of setting goals and guidelines for all things including human beings. Word ZANB is from root ZAAL, NOON and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to tail. Also tail or sticking of something with something in some sense like a tail, to follow closely, to pursue, to track, to trace, to be on the footsteps of, a person who follows a camel right behind it, the back side of something, to be right behind, the piece of string or rope with which tail of a she-camel is tied to the camel saddle or something similar to prevent it from spreading its urine with its tail when it is urinating, the far end of a valley, to catch by the tail, the end result of something done, consequences for doing something wrong, to commit a crime, to accuse or accuse falsely, to blame, to slander, a horse with tail that has far too many hair, a large bucket that is full of water, a very long day, to share, to distribute, to have a share in something, to have a link to something in some way, destiny, goal, to have a part in something, to participate, guilt, the place where flood water gathers, portion, lot, a charge or an accusation, controlled entry or exit, to be active or lively, to obstruct or block, to draw a line, to shield or shelter or protect, to limit, to provide with sanctuary or refuge, support or back up, household, family or following, door or something like door in some sense, fish or something like fish in some sense, house or something like house in some sense etc etc. 4] No people argue against guidance of Allah except those advantaged who reject and oppose His advised way of life for living by their self invented way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other so do not let their conspiracies for divisions and wars between people in Our kingdom mislead you from Our advised way of life. Word YUJAADIL is from root JEEM, DAAL and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is to braid. Also to twist tightly, to be well built, to knock down, to dispute, to argue in a contentious manner, to debate, to fight, to go to war, to disagree, to be incompatible, to be strong, to plead for, to argue the case of, to urge or push or motivate, to rival, to oppose, to go against, to contend, to decide a matter through mutual consultation or discussion, to outwit or outdo each other, to compete, to be active or lively or energetic, to stop or block or obstruct, to keep on making things better or worse, to extend the matter, to prolong the issue, the rein of a horse, something hard or tough, hard or rocky piece of land, to be long, to be firm or stable or reliable, something that can act as a foundation for something in some sense, something durable or lasting, camel or something like camel in some sense, door or something like door in some sense, ox-goad or something like ox-goad in some sense etc etc. Word BILAAD is from root BAA, LAAM and DAAL.

Each people went for their messenger in order to get him because they fought for falsehood in order to undermine thereby Our revealed truth but Our set-up systems and laws made them face the consequences of their own thoughts and actions against each other therefore see how they themselves were caught up by the consequences of their own thoughts and actions against each other. Word KAZZABAT is from root KAAF, ZAAL and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something not fit for the specified purpose. Also to prove to be false, to miss the target, to not to move with time, to fall well short of target, to overshoot, to undershoot, to deviate, to lie, to deceive, to cheat, to refute, to accuse, to give lie to, to pretend, to run away from battle, to be wrong, to be wasted on, to fail to meet specification, to fail to be up to standard or requirement, to be compulsory, to accuse of lying, to make a false statement, to deny, to distort, to be reckoned or deemed as a liar, to reject as false, to be disbelieved, to be accused of falsehood or forgery or intellectual dishonesty, to be or become a liar, one who lies constantly, to stop, to say something against the self evident reality, a piece of cloth that is printed upon with different colours, to dye a piece of cloth with different colours, a camel that moves at a slow pace than normal, a state when there occurs difference or conflict between one’s mind and body, to say something which one does not believe in one’s mind, habitual or incorrigible liar, to deny adamantly, to accuse of lying strongly, belied, obstinate denial, to absorb a shock, to be kind hearted, to be easily misled, to be a soft target, controlled entry or exist, to obstruct, to block, to shield or shelter, to protect, to support, to follow, palm of hand or something like palm of hand in some sense, door or something like door in some sense, house or something like house in some sense etc etc. Word HAMMAT is from root HAA, MEEM and MEEM.

You reach mankind through knowledge about everything they must come to know so that they could make use of all things for ensuring their own well being therefore provide protection for those who turn to Your program and are consistent with Your advised way of life and that way save them from making their lives hell for themselves by hands of each other. The only way to ensure well being of mankind is by establishing a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah therefore if people want a great life in this world then they must learn the Quran properly and adopt it faithfully as a proper human community. 8] Our Creator and Sustainer, admit them to blissful kingdoms full of all sorts of useful materials as per Your promise with them along with those who work for removing rifts from between people for growth and development of mankind of their elders and colleagues as well as their youngsters. You are surely mighty wise ruler of this kingdom of the universe. 9] Save them from all that is harmful and destructive because any people who are saved by You through Your guidance from inflicting all sorts of harms and destructions upon each other on the day of upheaval surely will have earned Your promised blissful, dignified and secure life and no doubt that will be the highest achievement for them. 10] At the time of upheaval it will be said to those who oppose His guidance now, opposition of set-up systems and laws of Allah to your way of living your lives was much greater than your rivalries against each other that brought you to this end and all because when you were invited to live your lives the proper way which could lead you to unity, peace, progress and prosperity, you rejected and opposed the call vehemently. Word MAQT is from root MEEM, QAAF and TAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to detest. Also to hate, to dislike, to loathe, to abhor, destination, goal, target, guardian, hatred, to take care of, to take into or under care, to lookafter, to marry widow or divorcee of one’s father, to flow, to cause trouble, to be smooth operator, to jump about, to hang onto something in some sense, to be mischievous, to gather or collect things, basket, snake, chest, coffin, water or something like water in some sense, monkey or something ,like monkey in some sense, womb or something like womb in some sense etc etc. 11] They will say, our Creator and Sustainer, due to our adopting of improper way of life You let us suffer harms and destructions by hands of each other repeatedly because You showed us the proper way to rise to level of blissful, dignified and secure life again and again so we now admit our errors in not living our lives the proper way but is there any way out of this situation we are faced with now? This verse tells mankind about their risings and fallings throughout human history and the process continues. People who will observe things to become self aware and aware about other things including guidance of Allah will always fare better if they acted upon what they know faithfully and those who will live like animals not bothered with observation of things to learn will always end up losers. So mankind should adopt proper mindsets, attitudes and behaviours so that they do not end up like those who end up destroying themselves by hands of each other by adopting the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other. 12] They will be told, you went through all these ups and downs or fallings and risings because when you the human beings were invited to live by way of life advised by Allah the sole ruler of this universe you rejected and opposed it and when others were taken as rulers in His kingdom you accepted their way of life ending up divided among yourselves whereas to rule this universe was sole right of Allah the supreme above all. 13] It is He alone Who showed you His evidences for having the sole right to rule this universe by sending down sustenance from the heavens for you but none reflected and spread His message save the people who turned to His guidance. 14] So if you really want to get out of this terrible situation that faces you then invite each other to way of life advised by Allah sincerely and faithfully and free yourselves from all imaginary concepts and harmful and destructive works even if you are hated by those who reject and oppose living by Our advised way of life. 15] The way of life advised by the ruler of the kingdom of the universe can raise you the mankind to heights of blissful, dignified and secure existence. He inspires through His revelation any people out of His human creatures who choose to work for His mission so that thereby they draw attention of their fellow human beings for bringing about the time period when they meet His set standard for them. Word TALAAQ is from root LAAM, QAAF and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to encounter. Also to reach, to come across, to meet, to touch, to perceive, to come face to face with, to confront, to join, to undergo, to unite, to experience, to find, to discover, to suffer, to throw, to cast, to give, to receive, to accept, to lie down, to comprehend, to understand, to lay down, to meet in battle, to battle or fight against, to combat, to debate, to argue against, to reap, to face consequences of one’s thoughts or actions, to reap results of one’s deeds, to reward, to be given, to be made to receive, to be granted, to cast or throw down, to lay down or lay down before something or someone, to bestow or shower upon, to offer, to lay or place on, to hurl or cast into, to instigate, to foment, to sow, to bring forth, to cast out, to charge or entrust with, to convey or communicate, to retort, to deviate, to deceive, to cheat, to con, to be dropped, to be excluded, to be thrown over, to be delivered, to be saved, to be flung down, to be reduced to falling down, to be revealed, to be sent down, to welcome, to meet one another, to have a meeting with, to direct towards, to arrive at, to depart, to bring down, receiver or receptor or recorder, to urge or push, to hang on, to make mischief, to be active or lively, to be clever, to catch up with, to hold onto something, to grip, to handle, ox-goad or something like ox-goad in some sense, monkey or something like monkey in some sense, hand or something like hand in some sense etc etc. 16] The time when they all come forth united. The standard of Allah will not leave anything hidden from them that may cause divisions and wars among them. According to whose rule of law in the kingdom the mankind will live in that period of time? According to the rule of law of Allah alone, the one who uses His power appropriately. These verses should leave one in no doubt that the whole Quran is all about who has the right to rule this universe and what happens if that ruler is not accepted and his guidance is not understood properly and followed faithfully by mankind. 17] In that era all actions of every person will be fully effective because there will not be allowed any harm and destruction by anyone to anyone. That is how set-up systems and laws of Allah will prove sufficiently efficient. Word SAREEU is from root SEEN, RAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to be quick. Also to be fast or speedy, to be in hurry, to hurry up, to happen or take place quickly, to make something happen fast, fast blowing wind, fastness or quickness, fast or leading horses in a race, to be ahead of the rest, to be at the forefront of something, the effect of a cause, the result of an action, consequence, quick reaction to an action, to be sharp, to be intelligent or clever, fast or quick thinker, to be at the top of the things, to be the fore most, the command and control centre, manager or chief, to consume, to destroy, to cut or bite, to have sharp eye, watchtower, to spy, to guard, to watch over, to take care of, to lookafter, to renew, water spring, assistance or support, insight, perception, understanding or comprehension, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, head or something like head in some sense, eye or something like eye in some sense etc etc. These like verses tell us that when there is no negative competition or rivalry then all people complement each other’s efforts so progress is speeded up unlike society based upon rivalry and animosity where most of peoples’ efforts are wasted in fights for dominating each other by undermining each other. 18] So O messenger, alert them also about the time period that is ever drawing near when the hearts of people will leap up to their throats with fearful grief because for those who inflict harms and destructions upon each other there will be neither any friend nor any intervener who could support and save them from this terrible situation that will face them. Word AAZIFAH is from root ALIF, ZAA and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to draw near. Also to come ever closer, to take similar short steps, to be in a hurry, to be cowardly, that which is approaching, to make something happen quickly, hardship, difficulty, something troublesome, something that bothers or causes concern, to approach near, to arrive near, to be at hand, to be almost there where something has to be for some reason or purpose, to be powerful, to be authoritative, stick or staff, to use as weapon or tool, to be instrumental, gap, distance, difference, to devour, to slander, to backbite, to spread rumours, ox or something like ox in some sense, weapon or something like weapon in some sense, mouth or something like mouth in some sense etc etc. Word KAAZIMEEN is from root KAAF, ZWAA and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is a proper way towards something. Also throat, mouth, the proper air way to and from lungs for breathing, the controlled entry or exist path, to control or direct something towards something, the stopping of breath, choking, closing of a passage, to be or become quiet, to stop talking, to be or become worried, to be or become sad, to be or become disturbed, to direct energy through proper channel in a constructive way, sublimation, to suppress, to conceal, to keep silent, to be oppressed, to put a stop to, breathing tract, the one who keeps a very tight control, that which blocks or chokes or firmly obstructs, to suppress the feelings, to keep feelings under tight control, to choke with grief, to be distressed, to become grief stricken, to absorb the shock, cushion, kind hearted, to burn with anger or rage, to be a soft touch, sign or symbol, guide or reference point, smooth operator, someone who takes something easy, an easy ride, energy, something life giving, something that motivates, driving force, a person easy to convince, gullible, something or someone harmful or destructive in some way, palm of hand or something like palm of hand in some sense, landmark or something like landmark in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. Before the kingdom of Allah comes about the condition of human population will reach a state of desperation because of the way of life they have adopted for themselves ie a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other whereby they end up in rivalries and animosities. A time will come when each and every person dealing with each other on basis of personal gain has nothing to give anyone and nothing to gain from anyone so all human dealing on that basis with each other will come to an end and animosity will reach its peak. People will treat each other worst than animals in jungle. It is then that people will start looking for a way out of that situation and so kingdom based upon guidance of Allah will rise from the ashes. It will therefore be better for mankind not to land themselves into that terrible state of existence this is why the Quran alerts people but people think they know better, so they will in due course find out the truth for themselves. 19] Allah makes obvious their true motives against each other which these people hide from each other in their minds through breaches of their trusts of help and support of each other in due course, Word KHAAINAH is from root KHAA, WOW and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is to let down. Also to be disloyal, to commit treachery, to betray, to give false or incorrect or misleading advice, to fail to be true to one’s word or undertaking, to short-change, to glance furtively, to lookafter, to fall on hard times, to fail to fulfil one’s trust, to break a pledge, to violate an agreement, to breech trust, to deceive or defraud, to cheat, breaking of a covenant, a deceiver or a cheat, one given to treachery, a vicious traitor, a slippery slope, to prove to be dishonest, to divide, to cause to separate, to be bent or twisted, to cause dissention or dispute, to put a wall between, to isolate things or people from each other, to cause troubles or rifts between people, to link, to connect, to have a relationship of some kind with something or someone, to be active or lively or energetic, to move smoothly and quietly, fence or something like fence in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, fish or something like fish in some sense etc etc. People who base their lives on the way of life founded upon personal gains at the expense of each other they too end up trusting each other for help and support in times of need but they are undermined by those very people whom they trust the most because they end up stabbing them in the back. It is a way of life that has no basis for trusting anyone so anyone who does trust anyone is dealt a serious blow. Life cannot go on without people trusting each other and that trust demands a way of life that ensures trusts are never breached by anyone. It is foolish to trust anyone or expect truth of anyone when one adopts a way of life that ensures trust and truth are not part of it because it is based upon falsehood. A way of life based upon falsehood can never lead to truth therefore blissful, dignified and secure existence. This is why all rulers, money lenders and mullahs are conmen or wolves in sheep clothing who trick people and thereby victimise them and some prove worse than others. They think of themselves as clever but in fact they are not and they find out this fact within their lifetime and end up regretting it. It is one thing to live a confused life but quite another to die confused and regretful. This is why people should try their best to find out the proper way of life and adopt it, the sooner the better otherwise living a confused life and dying regretting one’s wasted life is inevitable. Is it not strange that people who inflict all sorts of harms and destruction upon others end up seeking forgiveness of their creator and sustainer for what they have done to others in their lives? Is it enough for them to say a few words at the time of death and think all is ok the while their victims are still suffering the effects of their misdeeds? Is it not a try on their part to fool God or themselves? It is SHIRK to live by way of life other than the one advised by Allah and Allah never forgives SHIRK. 20] that is because the way of life advised by Allah helps people decides all their affairs according to the concrete foundation. However those upon whom they rely as their rulers instead of His revealed guidance have nothing to base their decisions upon. Surely guidance of Allah opens up mankind to deeper and wider awareness of things and their proper understanding. 21] Why do they not travel through the world and see what was the end of those rulers and their supporters who have gone before them? They had far greater grip on their people than these rulers and left traces behind them of great monuments in the world yet Allah found them caught up in their own wrong doings against each other so there was none to protect them from their self inflicted harms and destructions because of the way of life they chose to live by against the way of life that was advised for them by Allah. Once a people reject and oppose the path advised by Allah then any other path they follow sooner or later lands them in same situation that is full of painful suffering and destruction because other than Allah there is none who could offer an alternative way of life to mankind that could also give them blissful, dignified and secure life. This is what surah like challenge is all about ie people cannot have community life without following the path advised by Allah. People think that mankind cannot produce a surah like the Quranic surah in writing. This is not true because the Quran is full of verses as quotation by Allah as to what other people said. This means the Quran itself contains human words as quoted or reported by Allah. We have been told what Iblees said and what Pharaoh said etc etc, these are quotations by Allah and they are verses of the Quran and the shortest surah of the Quran is only three verses long. Not only that but there are also letters in some surah as a complete verse of the Quran. It shows mullahs have no sense what the Quran is talking about when it says none can produce a surah like the Quran. It means a proper human community as advised by the Quran. As explained elsewhere Quran is basically all about bringing about a proper human community. Surah means something that contains something within it for reason of protection or security eg a wall around a city. The Quran sets limits for a proper human community within which lies blissful, dignified and secure existence for human beings. The concept of ummah or brotherhood or nationhood ensures human security. The Quran provides mankind with a complete map for structuring a proper human society for ensuring its well being so the actual challenge is that none can come up with any way of life other than the one told by the Quran which could deliver for mankind the outcome that is promised to them by the Quran. If one studies the Quran in depth then one will see that that challenge is still not met by anyone so far. People have not even understood the actual challenge let alone meet it. 22] That happened to them because there came to them their messengers with clear goals and guidelines from Us but they fought against them instead of adopting them so Allah found them caught up in their self created troubles against each other. No doubt His set-up systems and laws are strict in making people face the consequences of their own thoughts and actions against each other. 23] Surely We sent Moses with Our goals and guidelines as clear proof of Our authorisation for him, 24] to go to Pharaoh, Hamaan and Qaaroon yet they called him a conspirator who expressed falsehood as truth. Allah sent each and every messenger to teach people the proper way of life to live by but the opponents of messengers of Allah accused them of trickery, conspiracy and falsehood. It is because the message was always about replacing the rule of law by rulers with rule of law of Allah. Messengers of Allah told people to live as a brotherhood of humanity under rule of law of God for ensuring well being of mankind as a proper human community. This did not suit those who wanted to divide people into advantaged and disadvantaged to rule them. God created differences between people so that they form a complementary human society wherein people stood in for each other fulfilling needs of each other and thereby ensuring well being of each and every person as far as humanly possible as a complementary community. People who do not like helping others hate this way of life and this kind of human society so they do all in their power to derail humanity from this path and keep it that way. This is why there is ample painful suffering among human beings throughout the world for which the creators of painful suffering blame those who actually work for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity. Such people did this always in order to confuse people and to keep them confused. So far they have been very successful but may be their game will be over soon as people become more and more aware of their tricks and objectives. This is why masses must do all they can to educate each other if they want to live a blissful, dignified and secure life in this world otherwise their painful suffering will never end because Allah does not change outcome of thoughts and actions of people for better unless they change their thoughts and action for the better. After all people can only get what they work for or whatever they work towards. If people will continue working for life of painful suffering then outcome cannot be other than painful suffering for them. Only if they will work for a better outcome then things will change for them. It is very important that masses come together and move forward as one people on the basis of the solid foundation provided for them by Allah only then they can overcome those who use them abusively not otherwise. The story of Moses and Pharaoh, Hamaan and Qaroon etc is clear proof that messengers of Allah do not come to deliver religious sermons but to start a movement for changing the way of life of people from their self invented and adopted way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other to the way of life advised by Allah for ensuring their own well being. This is why whenever there came a messenger from Allah to a people their chiefs, money lenders and mullahs opposed him with all their power in order to hold on to their way of life. They felt threatened by movements that were started by messengers of Allah but ultimately they lost what they stood for and the messengers proved right. The same happened in time of Moses and in time of the final messenger of Allah. 25] Because he came to them with verifiably true way of life from Us to live by in this world so they said to each other, stop the growth of courageous people in these communities which commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of people along with him and groom from among them people who are cowardly. However the futile schemes of the opponents of Our guidance always ended up missing their targets. Here Allah explains what he did for mankind and how mankind rejected and opposed his mission but in the end the mission of Allah succeeded and what rulers, money lenders, mullahs, their touts and supporters wanted to achieve did not happen. It is because the way of life people invent and adopt is a failure in itself ie it is a self defeating exercise as already explained in detail. It is because the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other can never deliver unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind which rulers, money lenders and mullahs promise to people under their sway. It can only deliver divisions, rivalries, animosities, hatred and wars between people and that is how it is a self defeating ideology. 26] Failing that Pharaoh said to his chiefs, leave me to deliver a fatal blow to Moses himself ideologically and let him rely on guidance from His Creator and Sustainer. I am concerned that unless he is defeated ideologically he will change your way of life (based upon personal gains at the expense of each other) to the way of life (based upon brotherhood of humanity) which he claims is revealed by God or if nothing is done by us then he will cause civil wars in the kingdom because of his ideology. These verses should leave one in no doubt that fight between Pharaoh and Moses is all about how people will be better off living their lives. Pharaoh stood for a way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other which was all about some people dominating all the rest by undermining them for personal gains at their expense and Moses stood for establishing a proper human community that ought to be based upon revealed guidance of Allah which was for ensuring well being all in the kingdom. The point here is not killing of Moses but his ideology because if Pharaoh tried to kill Moses then the civil unrest and upheaval Pharaoh is afraid of could start right away. He wants to avoid it by tackling Moses on intellectual level so that he could prove to people in his kingdom that Moses is a fraudster. Same could happen if Pharaoh had tried to kill children of people who supported Moses. These verses simply mean discouraging talent and development by setting up mechanisms and encouraging defeated mindset in people of Moses so that they do not stand up against him. However tricks of falsehood followers stand no chance against motivation that is inspired by revelation of Allah, especially when it proves to be verifiably true and people are educated to see it for themselves. This is why if people were educated by each other to understand the message of the Quran properly the world will change overnight. Imperialism of any sort by any people can be easily defeated if human beings are woken up through motivating message of Allah. 27] Moses said, I surely want to bring about the kingdom based upon guidance of my Creator and Sustainer as well as your Creator and Sustainer for ensuring well being of all people from all those who seek dominance over each other by undermining each other because they do not want to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to set standard or measures of Allah. 28] At this a man who was committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity from among the people of Pharaoh who had not yet made his commitment public said, will you people stop a man from putting forth his case to you just because he says, my Creator and Sustainer is Allah, especially when he has brought you clear goals and guidelines from your Creator and Sustainer? Let him put his case to you and then if you find he is lying then let him face consequences for his lies but if he is telling us the truth then some of the dreadful things he is alerting you against may well happen to you. Surely Allah does not guide the one who lies to take undue advantage of others in order to inflict harms and destructions upon them. 29] O my people! You are the rulers and are dominant in the kingdom today but who will help us against the harms and destructions Allah has forewarned us about should they befall us? Pharaoh said, I am pointing out to you only what I think and I am guiding you only towards the course of actions that is right. 30] In due course the person who was committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind said, O my people! the fact is I fear for you time of upheaval and disaster like of which befell people of the past because of their own doings against each other, 31] such as people of Noah, Aad, Thamood and those who came after them. Unlike you the mankind Allah never intends harms and destructions for the people. Word DAB is from root DAAL, ALIF and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is custom. Also habit, persistence, way, manner, attitude, case, situation, circumstances, time or place or both, event or happening or occurrence, constant, diligent, consistently, as usual, in the way it has been done, to persevere, to do something regularly day and night, controlled entry or exit, to obstruct, to make constant and consistent effort, to block or stop, stick, power, authority, shield or shelter, refuge, to do something permanently and regularly, sanctuary, rule of law, tradition, program, constitution, support or following, family or household, door or something like door in some sense, oxen or something like oxen in some sense, house or something like house in some sense etc etc. 32] Therefore O my people! I fear for you the period of time when you are called to account by way facing consequences of your thoughts and actions against each other. 33] A period of time when you will turn your backs on each other and flee from each other because there will be nothing and no one to unite you from Allah. It is because any people whom Allah lets go their own way there is none to guide them. Word AASIM is from root AIN, SWAAD and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is neck band. Also dog collar, rope, string, wrist, protection, bonds, ties, relationships, connections, impregnability, adherence to friendship, to put out of reach, to protect, to make impregnable, to tie, to bind, to stop, to forbid, to block, to catch, to support, to stick with, to shield, to shelter, to take refuge, to adhere to, to hold fast, to hold onto something tightly and firmly, to anchor oneself to, to muster self restraint, to defend, to tie oneself to something for anchorage, marriage ties, blood ties, ideological bonds, to watch out for, to spy on, to keep an eye on, to guard, to take care of, to assist or support, to start something new, spring season, river or stream or canal, ocean or sea, roots, branches, trunk, juice, extract, essence, energy, something life giving, revelation of God, something that inspires or motivates, something that can cause harm and destruction, something that can cause flooding, eye or something like eye in some sense, tree or something like tree in some sense, water or something like water in some sense etc etc. In these verses one of the men simply tells people that if mission of Moses is true and people oppose it then things will end up the way they did in time of past people. It is because unless a people live by guidance of Allah there is no basis for them to unite and live peacefully with each other cooperating fully for mutual progress so that as a community a people could keep prospering. This man also makes it very clear to people that past people were not destroyed by Allah but by each other because Allah never intended inflicting harm and destruction upon people. All this happened because people based their lives on foundation of personal gains at the expense of each other and when their divisions, rivalries and animosities reached their peak they ended up destroying each other through mutual hatred for each other. 34] Moreover for sure there came to you Joseph with clear goals and guidelines earlier but you remained in doubt concerning what he brought till when he died then you all by yourselves assumed the position that Allah will never send another messenger after him. That is how Allah leaves a people to themselves to go their own way such as go beyond His set limits due to confusion Word MURTAAB is from root RAA, YAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is instability. Also to go to and fro, to agitate or be agitated, to cause or be in chaos or confusion, to be infirm or unstable mentally or physically, to wobble or deviate, to oscillate, to doubt or suspect, to cause or cast or show doubt, to be uncertain or unsure about something, to suffer anxiety or worry or calamity, to become depressed, to entertain, to accuse, to alarm, to suffer an accident or misfortune or ill fate or mishap, to be indecisive, to be in an undetermined state of mind, to be suspicious about something, to be guilty, to be dubious, to beguile, to deceive, to cheat, to pretend, to have a reputation that is false, to pretend to be what one is not, to fear, to slander, to spread rumours, to suffer from complexity or multi personalities disorder, to conspire, to plot, to think clearly, to plan ahead, something that has something to do with a command and control centre, top part or section of something, ruling elite, leadership, power, authority, reach, jurisdiction, grip, to have a hand in making something happen, to trick, to have control over, to shelter or hide or protect or shield, to stop, to obstruct, to separate, to cut off, to divide, to provide with refuge or sanctuary, family or following or support or assistance, head or something like head in some sense, hand or something like hand in some sense, house or something like house in some sense etc etc. 35] who fight against set goals and guidelines of Allah without having any proof against them. Such mindset, attitude and behaviour is greatly harmful and destructive for humanity in light of guidance of Allah and in sight of those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. It is the mindset, attitude and behaviour that acts as seal confirmed by Allah regarding every mind that seeks dominance through strictly controlling others by undermining them. Word YATBAU is from root TWAA, BAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to melt something in some sense for some purpose. Also to mark something for some reason, to put a seal on something for some purpose, to seal up something, to close something, to finalise something, to put a stop to something in some sense, to block or obstruct something from continuing, to put a barrier or wall or fence in the way of something to stop it from continuing, to end or separate or cut off, to brand, to copyright, to melt the sealing wax or material to put a stamp on something to seal it after closing, to seal a sack or box full of official coins with a sealing wax, to brand animals with hot iron stamp, to put some kind of stamp on something for distinguishing something from the rest for some purpose, to isolate or distinguish something for some reason, the climax of something, the end of a process, the ultimate point of reach of something, the finishing end of something as compared to its starting end, to imprint, a container that is completely full so nothing more can be added to it without causing damage to it or without destroying it in the process, to mark the end of something in some sense, to emboss, to print, to etch, to cut, to write, to mould, to carve, to shelter or shield or protect, to provide with refuge or sanctuary, to hide or cover up, to help or support, top stand guard over, to spy, watchtower, family or following, tradition or custom or way of life, to start something new, water spring or river or sea or stream, to perceive, to have insight, to have comprehension or understanding of something, to grieve, to cry tears, to be in tears, to be sad, to guide, to use something as a reference point or foundation for something, to take care of, to take into care, landmark or something like landmark in some sense, house or something like house in some sense, eye or something like eye in some sense etc etc. A very important verse which explains what is meant by Allah sealing hearts and minds of people who do not accept guidance to live their lives the proper way. When a people adopt a certain mindset, attitude and behaviour to live their lives by then they no longer leave themselves open to guidance of Allah because they are over taken by harmful and destructive personal ambitions and desires at the expense of others. It is not that having ambitions and desires is bad in itself but that if they are against guidance of Allah and humanity then result cannot be anything other than harms and destructions of human community. 36] After hearing all this Pharaoh said to chief priest, O Hamaan! Build me a lofty reputation so that through that I could show people superiority of my ways and means, 37] The ways and means to heights of power so that thereby I could undermine God of Moses because I think he is lying. That is how it appeared to Pharaoh that his harmful and destructive works were good and that is how he turned away from the way of life that was proper. Therefore schemes of Pharaoh led him and his supporters nowhere but to their own destruction by hands of each other. Word TABAAB is from root TAA, BAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to flatten. Also to stamp down, to crush, to ruin or destroy, to cause to lose, to humble or defeat, to overcome, to even out the landscape, to remove rifts from between people, to fix or mend things, to put things right, to make or become stable, to settle down, to calm down, to solidify, to bring together, to collect, to store, to preserve, to become well ordered, to organise and regulate, to become organised and regulated, to lose, to become limited, to become weak or infirm, to become frustrated or confined, an old or injured person or animal that is no longer capable of working, to come to ruin, to perish, to fail, to be or become unsuccessful, to suffer utter destruction, to become unsettled, to upset things, to turn things upside down, to fall apart, chest, coffin, box, basket, snake, loss, damage, harm, calamity, disaster, catastrophe, chamber, room, container, to shelter or shield or protect, to provide with refuge or sanctuary, to patronise, to divide, to disperse, to scatter, family or following or support, tradition or foundation or custom, constitution, rule of law, womb or something like womb in some sense, house or something like house in some sense etc etc. After the man of God spoke to his people Pharaoh wanted his arguments countered so he told his chief of religious affairs Hamaan to counter that by building a great reputation for Pharaoh by hyping up people what Pharaoh has achieved during his reign. What they try to hide is use and abuse of people on backs of whom Pharaoh built whatever he built and in the process so many people were undermined and destroyed. The case is very same today that each country is trying to show its progress and prosperity by showing how many millionaires and billionaires it has while not showing how many millions and billions of people throughout the world had to go through hell for these millionaires and billionaires. People still talk about kings and emperors of old who had slaves and built monuments with skulls of their victims yet forget that today’s world is much worse because killing people is better than making life of people hell permanently by not letting them live in peace and harmony. So people who see their glory in use and abuse of others are nothing but users and abusers of humanity and there is only and only shame in that not glory. The real glory is helping mankind towards blissful, dignified and secure life. So individuals need to observe real world realities today and think really hard to see who they are supporting and why and are they really happy with direction in which the world is moving as a result of their own thoughts and actions or inactions? These verses also tell us parts played by rulers, priests, money lenders and those who act for them. 38] The man who had committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind said, O my people! Be consistent with principles I put to you so that I could guide you to the way of life that is proper. 39] O my people! Living your life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other is of little benefit for humanity instead better future lies for mankind in living their lives on a solid and stable foundation provided by Allah. 40] Any people who inflict harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other cannot have any other outcome than what they have done to each other. Likewise any people who work for removing rifts from among themselves for growth and prosperity of each other as a proper human community be they part of management administration or the managed community at large because they are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind they are bound to end up in a blissful, dignified and secure kingdom wherein they will have their sustenance without being controlled by each other. Such verses which tell people about sustenance without limits they simply mean sustenance unlike people receive from each other by controlling each other’s livelihood. In the community based upon way of life advised by Allah all people work hard to the best of their God given abilities as much as they can and at the end of the day share whatever they have produced according to their individual needs or whatever community can provide for them according to the best of its abilities. Being an organised and regulated community based upon mutual respect and brotherhood there is better chance of survival for people living a blissful, dignified and secure life than individuals fighting each other for getting what they need by trying to enslave each other or stealing and robbing each other. A community that is aware of its responsibilities towards each other and self regulated cannot be beaten by people who are like animals in jungle in their mindsets, attitudes or behaviours. All this has been explained in detail already. The Quran repeats things in different ways only to emphasise things for people to help them become better aware of them. However despite all this mankind are still not bother with proper study of the message of the Quran and they carry on inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other. Muslims are ummat only in name and not in reality because they live on the basis of personal gains at the expense of each other. No wonder then that ummah is in deep troubles by hands of each other. 41] So O my people! Think about it, how is it that I am calling you to the way of life which leads you to freedom from all sorts of rifts among yourselves through unity based upon mutual consultations for blissful, dignified and secure existence while you are calling me to the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other for mutual destruction by hands of each other? Word NAJAAH is from root NOON, JEEM and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is to be safe. Also to be secure, to discuss, to debate, to argue, to consult, to gather together for mutual concerns, to elevate, to reach, to escape, to deliver, to rescue, to run quickly, to remove dirt from oneself, to salvage, to raise high, to distinguish, to define, to clarify, to make clear, to explain, to expand, to stretch, to extend, to reach out, to ramp up, to speed up, to go free, to let go, to cut, to divide, to separate, to isolate, to flay, to cleanse oneself, to confer in secrecy, to consult with one another, to conduct to safety, to spare, to reach safety, to reason, to help or support or assist, to offer a ladder, to rationalise, to protect, to shield, to defend, to flow, to move smoothly, to confer with, to speak privately with, to exchange confidential information, to confer together in private, to be intimate, to be active or lively, to move fast, to skin, to bare, to scratch, to peel or peel off, to pull the cover or skin off, to strip, to open up, to hide or cover up, to be deceptive, to be clever, to be slippery, to be tricky, to be beautiful, to be durable, to lasting, to be reliable, to be trustable, to be able to act as a foundation for something, to be bent or twisted, to be cunning, to be tricky, highlands, a high land where flooding is considered impossible, fish or something like fish in some sense, camel or something like camel in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense etc etc. 42] You bid me to reject and oppose rule of law based upon guidance of Allah in order to live by rules of laws of others than Him about whom I am not made aware by Him, that is why I am inviting you to the way of life advised by mighty rightful ruler of this universe Who assures us for our blissful, dignified and secure existence through His guidance. 43] No doubt you invite me towards accepting such a ruler who cannot be relied upon just now nor at any time in the future. The fact is, we all should turn to the way of life advised by Allah for our guidance and any people who reject and oppose that way of life are bound to end up in their self ignited fire of hatred among themselves. 44] Soon you will come to remember what I have told you, I am already taking care of my affairs according to guidance of Allah, be aware indeed that set-up systems and laws of Allah are ever watchful over thoughts and actions of His human creatures. Word UFAWWID is from root FAA, WOW and DWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is to leave decision about something to someone else to decide. Also to pass a matter over to someone else, to be equal to one another, to be partners of one another in doing something, to do something together with each other’s consent and help, to participate in something together as equals, a party or group of confused people, a people who do not consult each other for doing something, such a group of people wherein each person does whatever one likes, to create anarchy, to cause disorder or chaos or confusion, a group of people that have no leader, an unclear or a confusing matter, a people who have no sense of responsibility, a people who leave things for each other to do and as a result no one does them so they remain undone, to throw responsibility for doing something on each other, to authorise, to appoint as an attorney or an agent, to rely on someone else for getting something done, to submit to, to commit to, to negotiate, to exchange ideas, to consult, to make clear the discourse, to entrust something to, to spread rumours, to backbite, to create gap or distance or difference, to connect or link or join, to be bent or twisted, to deceive, to cause divisions, to turn into branches, to have roots, to be united, to be strong, mouth or something like mouth in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, tree or something like tree in some sense etc etc. 45] That is how Allah saved him from all those harmful and destructive plots that people devised against each other because of which people of Pharaoh were overtaken by all sorts of terribly painful situations in every way. 46] The mutual fire of hatred they were warned against day and night engulfed them. That is how arrived the time of upheavals that pushed the people of Pharaoh into severest painful suffering. When people do not heed the warning and continue living by way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other then divisions lead to fire of hatred and that hatred leads them to wars between themselves and the end result is always mutual destruction of a people involved in that sort of way of life. All relationships between people breakdown due to rifts and become useless and worthless because people only give importance to themselves as individuals and the end result of that is destruction of people by hands of each other. 47] Therefore at the time these people started arguing with each other out of hatred for each other and the people trapped into following said to the dominant people who led them, we followed your advised way of life so can you now save us from this fire of hatred? 48] The leaders replied, we are all in this together! Allah has decided this matter already regarding people through His guidance. What has Allah decided already? He has decided that mankind will always be treated as a single family and anything any of them will do will affect all of them to some degree at some point. This is part of law of interdependence. So it is up to people themselves to keep each other right or not to bother and suffer the consequences in due course. This is why war and peace situation between mankind needs to be properly understood. If all will live in peace and harmony trying to help each other to better life then things will work out fine and end result will be a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah in this world otherwise harms and destructions will never be far away from mankind by hands of each other. This is why people need to concentrate on message of the Quran to take things in the right direction because consequences for letting things go in the wrong direction cannot be ignored and that is what these verses of the Quran are making clear for those who have learned to understand things properly. 49] That is why they ended up saying to those who were trying to prevent them from falling into hell of their own making, call upon your Creator and Sustainer for reducing our painful suffering for a period of time at least! 50] But they said to them, did there not come to you messengers with clear goals and guidelines from Allah? Yes, they answered. They then told them, call upon those whom you took for rulers other than Allah and upon whom you have been relying. The fact is, dependence upon false rulers by those who reject and oppose guidance of Allah is nothing less than a very wrong idea in their minds that has no basis in reality. Missionaries who deliver message of Allah to mankind try their best to prevent people from falling into hell of their own making but it is not possible to do so unless people listen to the message and accept it after its proper understanding and follow it faithfully. It is because anyone who wants what is good for oneself must work towards it as well in order to get it. Deen of Islam demands cooperation between people because it is an ummah based idea to begin with. Individual can only spread the message and help people understand the message and the rest is up to individuals whether they come together as a proper human community or not. If they do they get the promised results otherwise things continue as they are till people do as told or they end up destroyed by hands of each other due to going about their lives the way they should not. One either supports establishment of deen of Islam (ie the way of life that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence), or the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other and thereby follow rulers, money lenders and mullahs. Each way of life lead to its specified end regardless people like it or not. A people cannot end up in a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah if they do not work towards it. Merely wishing for good things in life is not enough to get them rather one has to work hard for getting them by doing things the way that works for this purpose. 51] On the contrary We surely help Our messengers and those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind as life is at the time before establishment of the kingdom based upon Our guidance as well as during the time period when kingdom based upon Our guidance becomes a manifest reality for mankind to witness and copy. 52] All this because during that period of time the way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other can benefit not those who therefore inflict harms and destructions upon each other at the time because they lead themselves away from the way of life that could lead them to blissful, dignified and secure existence so they end up in a terribly painful state of existence. Word MAAZIRAH is from root AIN, ZAAL and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to offer an explanation for something for some reason. Also to offer an excuse, to offer an apology, to be sorry or sad about something, to make an effort to remove a liability in some sense, to try to overcome one’s shortcomings, to say sorry for not being able to do something or for doing something wrong, to justify one’s thoughts or actions that others fail to understand, to try to reply to accusations and objections of others against oneself, the vast open space in front of the houses, rubbish, dirt, to clean dirt off from something, to dust off something from something, to circumcise, a person who has done too many wrongs, a dirty person, a dirty house, a dirty place or thing, courtyard, a refuse dump, faeces, to cleanse, to excuse, justification, to forgive, virginity, modesty, hair growing on the cheeks, to become difficult, landmark, to explain oneself, to seek pardon, exonerating oneself, veils, screens, disputes, watchtower, to keep an eye on, to spy, to into care, to be insightful, to lookafter, to help or support, to see, to start something new, spring season, water well, river, sea, stream, canal, controlled entry or exit, obstruction, blockage, to manage, to lead, to be a chief, to think, ruling elite, to plan, top part or section of something, eye or something like eye in some sense, door or something like door in some sense, head or something like head in some sense etc etc. 53] This is why We gave Moses Our guidance and made children of Israel inheritors of Our book, 54] which was a guide and a message for people who had learned to make proper sense of things. 55] Therefore O Our messenger and his supporters, be steadfastly consistent with Our this message and each other so that promise of Allah about establishment of His kingdom becomes a reality fulfilled in due course therefore secure yourselves against all sorts of attacks by your opponents by striving hard day and night for making manifest glory of the way of life advised by your Creator and Sustainer. This verse makes it very clear the fundamental task for people who claim to follow the message of the Quran. The Quran is telling them no matter what make proper sense of the Quranic message and help others understand it properly in order to corner the opponents of this message whose only aim is their dominance over others so that by undermining the rest they could control them through their invented falsehood as their way of life. The fight is therefore on whether life based on community spirit is good or life based on personal gains at the expense of each other which means destruction of community based way of life. The better and better people educate themselves and each other the more and more people will come to realise which kind of life is more promising and long lasting due to stability and which is just a mirage that is only there from a distance but not there when you try to have it and in that process countless people suffer terrible pain and end up destroyed. These verses explain who the real Muslim is ie a person who is committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. Not any mullahs who are working for strengthening the way of life that is based upon personal gains at the expense of each other due to which they bring about sectarianism among Muslims. A clear proof that Islam is not a religion but a deen and that mullahs must not be followed because they sell masses cheaply to rulers and money lenders etc. They have played the role of middle man for a long time now. Masses who are looking for a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah through mullahs are in for a big surprise. Mullah rule is as anti Quran as rule by any other entity that is based upon use and abuse of humanity eg various forms of secularism. After all why imperialism is anti Quran and why money lending is anti Quran? Because all these are based upon buying and selling idea of things where wealth or money or materialism is more important than dignity and well being of human beings. Allah has given mankind the place of dignity and any human being who works against that is evil to his very core no matter how nice he tried to portray himself before masses. Such a person is a disgrace to human community and very harmful and destructive for it. After all why Pharaoh, Hamaan, Qaroon and Samiree etc are condemned for their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours? It is because they built their kingdom on basis of using and abusing each other instead of promoting brotherhood for dignified, blissful and secure existence of all in the kingdom. 56] Those who fight against the goals and guidelines set by Allah for mankind without having been given any solid foundation or authority to them by Him, they nurture nothing worthwhile in their very beings except the quest for dominance over others by undermining them which they can never attain and maintain for long. Therefore seek kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for having blissful, dignified and secure existence because He surely can guide mankind due to being fully aware of all situations and circumstances with their proper understanding. 57] Surely creation of the universe full of galaxies including this galaxy was a much greater task than the creation of mankind yet most of the people do not bother to observe things to try and understand them properly. Although Allah is a powerful being yet he had to do something in order to show he was a great creative being with a great mind. Not only that he had to create a being who could appreciate his creative ability ie a human being with mind of his own through which he could learn things independently and then come to conclusion that Allah is really someone great. This is why he gave him his own world to play in and break and make things himself in there and learn from his own mistakes and one day become a great creative being in his own right. So man in a way is a created god who will one day reach his full potential but it is long way away. Here Allah is telling mankind to become self aware and become aware of rest of universal realities and see what he thinks about his message in form of the Quran. A clear slap on faces of mullahs who think man has been created only to bang his head on the floor and never to make mistake of using his brain power. This is why learning the message of the Quran from mullahs is a terrible mistake that masses are making. It is time people used all available sources for learning the Quran properly so that they could become people who are wise who put their wisdom to proper use for benefiting human community. 58] This is why people who cannot see things properly and people who can see things properly are not equal, nor are equal those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind because they work for growth and development of humanity and those who work for harm and destruction of mankind. Yet little you do for reflecting on the message deeply yourselves and spreading it among the rest of you properly. 59] The period of time is sure to come when worldwide kingdom based upon Our guidance will become a reality for those who work for it and the time period of terrible upheavals will also arrive for those who work towards it and there should not be any doubt about it as things are obviously going in their directions, yet most of the people do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. The Quran makes it very clear that there are two different ends for two different groups of people each of which is following a certain path for living its life. Those who live by provided guidance of Allah faithfully are bound to end up in kingdoms based upon guidance of Allah for as long as they will maintain them faithfully and those who live by any other ways of life will end up destroying themselves due to upheavals that will come their way due to following their paths for living their lives. So each party is set preconditions which when become fulfilled things that are promised on their basis will take place and become realities for them. 60] This is why your Creator and Sustainer says, rely on My set-up systems and laws so that through your following of My guidance I fulfil your needs and requirements. Surely those who seek domination over each other by undermining each other instead of living by My provided guidance will soon find themselves engulfed by world full of people with rage against each other. 61] Set-up systems and laws of Allah are such that cause for you the mankind the night to rest in and the day to see your way around to get on with what you have to do. Surely Allah does things for benefiting mankind not for harming them yet most of the people do not use His provided things properly to benefit each other and instead use them to harm each other which they should not. 62] Such is Allah your Creator and Sustainer, the originator and evolver of all things. There is no rightful ruler in this kingdom of the universe but He. So what is leading you away from His advised way of life other than your remaining ignorant about His guidance? 63] Likewise were deluded those before you who argued against goals and guidelines set by Allah for mankind to accomplish. 64] However Allah is He Who brought forth the earth as a foundation and a starting point for you to be able to take on a further journey therefrom because to reach the whole of the universe is your ultimate goal. He has formed your brains, senses and bodies and shaped them beautifully to fit this purpose well, that is why He provided you with things that are appropriately useful for your set purpose or goal or mission. Such glorious is goal set by Allah your Creator and Sustainer. Full of all kinds of blessings is Allah for mankind the creator and sustainer of all the people in the world. Allah is telling mankind in these verses what is purpose of his creation ie to express himself as a being but to be appreciated as a great creative mind he had to create man with freedom to learn and give his own verdict about Allah as his creator. For this mankind are given ability to travel throughout the universe but they have been given an aboard on the earth for a while to become trained and experienced enough to carry on their rest of journey throughout the universe. This program is to unfold over many years into the future. Man has yet to learn how to be a proper human being here on the earth before he could become master at exploring the rest of the universe. This is why it is a huge waste of brain power by mankind when some try to dominate others and thereby undermine each other instead of working together towards the same end as a proper human family. This universe is big enough for all human beings that will come into being ever therefore people should adopt the way of life advised by Allah in order to get where they need to be with minimum effort and hard work. By going the sideways here and there people are wasting their time as well as making each other go through hell of their own making for nothing much at all. 65] He is self-sustaining and there is no rightful ruler in this universe but He alone therefore rely upon His set-up systems and laws sincerely and faithfully as a way of life to blissful, dignified and secure existence. Glorious existence can only be achieved by mankind in this universe by following the glorious way of life advised by Allah the creator and sustainers of the people in the universe. 66] Tell them O messenger, I have been stopped from living by rule of law of those whom you take for rulers other than Allah because clear revelations have come to me from my Creator and Sustainer whereby I have been commanded to submit myself fully only to program, constitution and laws of the Creator and Sustainer of all the people in the universe. 67] It is He who originated and evolved you from the particles of dust, then from a living cell, then from an embryo, then He delivered you from the womb of your mother as a child, then He makes you grow to reach the age of full strength, then He makes you grow to reach an old age - and lets some of you die earlier- so that you complete your term and grow in wisdom generation after generation. These like verses explain various evolutionary stages about life forms the targeted product of which is human being. It is very interesting to see how things have been created according to the Quran. Life was brought about from lifeless matter ie particles of dust are essence or chemicals needed for creation of living cells. Once living cells came about they needed to survive but what was the mechanism whereby living cells survived? According to the Quran living cells survived on each other as well as through each other and that is how came about the tree of life and that tree of life supported itself. The Quran tells us life form was brought about here on the earth through naturally set-up systems and laws and it evolved from a very simple stage to a very complex stage and will remain on the earth for considerable time till it has developed enough that it is able to move about in the universe freely. The key to understanding of how living cells originally formed is reversal process of decomposition of organic matter into inorganic matter. The conditions on the earth have changed from what they were originally when the living cells came about on the earth so that does not happen anymore but if same conditions were created again by scientists in a controlled environment then it will be possible to create living cells. The other interesting thing is how living things have been learning from each other due to their interaction between themselves. This is why man is most capable creature because he came late on the scene and had everything already there to learn from and that is the main reason why man is so different from the rest of living things. He got the right body form and right shape of brain and senses for the purpose he was created. This is why it is not possible to attribute origin of mankind to blind nature because human beings by no means are random product of nature. Otherwise we ought to find many creatures very, very close to human beings than monkeys and apes. The absence of creatures between human beings and the closest relatives points to nature working on some design. The Quran explains things in such a way that leaves no doubt that Allah created man for his own purpose as already explained in detail elsewhere. Human creation is ultimate stage of creativity of Allah because he has created something very much like himself ie mankind are also able to express their ability of creativity like Allah himself. No other creatures comes closer to that because there behaviour is programmed behaviour unlike human beings. A clear proof that the Quran is word of Allah because no other source explains things in such unique detail as the Quran. This is why it is not within capability of mullahs to explain the message of the Quran rather people who are self aware and aware of universal realities should play their part in explaining the Quran. They owe it to humanity that has given them opportunity of what they are so they must put back into society something worthwhile such as a proper tafseer of the Quran. This work is only for drawing attention of such capable people. If anyone thinks one has knowledge yet ignores this message then one has wasted away one’s life. 68] It is He who motivates you through His guidance for living your lives to the full potential if you make proper sense of it and follow it faithfully and lets you perish if you do not make proper sense of it and follow it faithfully. That is because when He decides and plans upon doing something He only has to initiate the process and it begins to take shape in reality till it is complete stage by stage. 69] Why don’t you observe and learn from that how those who argue against the goals and guidelines set by Allah for mankind to accomplish turn away from the path that is proper for blissful, dignified and secure existence of mankind? 70] Those who deny themselves and each other opportunity of abiding by Our book thereby chance of following Our program, constitution and law We have been sending through Our messengers will soon come to know the truth about Our message 71] when with yokes and chains around their necks they are dragged by each other 72] through situations like death and destruction and they burn inside with rage against each other. Word YUSJAROON is from root SEEN, JEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to overflow. Also to flow, to fill, to stretch, to elongate, to or to be set on fire, to fuel, to be stuffed, to be packed in, to be thrust, to be filled to the point of overflow, the one set on fire, to ignite the oven, to put fuel in the oven, to fill the stream, the fire rod for poking or agitating the fire, something quiet, something empty or vacant, to fill the pot, a well filled to the mouth with water, to join each other, to throw something into the fire, to push people into fire of hatred against each other, something that goes over the top, to consume, to destroy, to be sharp, to be intelligent, to be clever, to be beautiful, to be lasting, to strong, to act as a foundation or base, to think, to plan, to scheme, to manage, to control, to lead, to bite, ruling elite, to be deceptive, teeth or something like teeth in some sense, camel or something like camel in some sense, head or something like head in some sense etc etc. 73] At length such people are asked by Our missionaries, where are those whom you took for rulers 74] other than Allah? They say, they have forsaken us and now we have come to know that those whom we used to take for rulers were in fact nothing of the sort. That is how Allah makes them face consequences of their own thoughts and actions against each other those who oppose His guidance by refusing to accept and abide by it. 75] It is said to such people at the time, you have met this end because a while back in your lives, you took delight in doing things in the land the way that was opposite of proper way of doing things because you lived to make life very troublesome for each other for petty personal gains at the expense of each other. 76] Now enter the gates of hell you have created for yourselves to live therein for as long as you carry on living that way. What a terribly painful existence to end up in for those who live for dominating each other by undermining each other instead of living as a proper human community based upon Our guidance. 77] This is why you and your people should be steadfast and consistent with Our guidance and each other O messenger because the promised kingdom based upon guidance of Allah is bound to become a reality in due course. Regardless We first let you witness some of what We promised them as consequences of their thoughts and actions against each other or We first fulfil Our promise of the kingdom to you, no matter what, mankind are bound to turn to Our guidance in due course eventually. It all depends upon mankind themselves whether they decide to make proper sense of the message of Allah and follow it faithfully and therefore they avoid long painful suffering and get to blissful, dignified and secure existence or that they prefer to find out things the hard way and then end up at the same destination that has been set for them right from the get go. The duty of missionaries is only to deliver the message and the rest is up to mankind themselves as to how they respond or react to it. A proper response will get proper results for them and any inappropriate response will only make matters worse for mankind themselves. 78] This is why We sent all of Our messengers before you to establish kingdoms based upon Our guidance, stories of some of them We have told you and stories of others of them We have not told you. It was not possible for any of those messengers to bring any way of life for mankind other than the one advised by Allah. That is why when the guidance of Allah came for mankind matters between people were settled according to set-up systems and laws of Allah that were stated in there and as a result those who stood for harmful and destructive way of life therefore inflicted harms and destructions upon each other for personal gains at the expense of each other suffered heavily always ending up in huge loss. This verse tells mankind that all messenger were sent for bringing about a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. No prophet brought any proof of messengership from Allah other than his message. The message was always good enough to prove its origin and purpose to those who studied it properly and followed it faithfully. All messengers therefore taught people scriptures from Allah and got people to support them for creating kingdoms in the name of Allah according to his advised way of life. So the clear message to this prophet and his followers is also to get on with study of this message properly and bring about the kingdom based upon this message faithfully. This surah as a whole is exposing mullah based Islam very clearly. So it is up to people to study the Quran properly and follow its message faithfully to turn it into a reality. Unless people who claim to be Muslims do this they have no future. Not only that but also if Muslims do not pass on this message properly to humanity then humanity is also doomed the way it is living with billions of people living a very painful life for a very long time and then dying a terrible death. It shows all ways of life mankind have adopted so far have failed them and no future way of life that is based upon personal gains at the expense of each other is going to be successful for the very same reasons as already told in the Quran. So time for masses to get up and get going ie change their own and of others mindsets, attitudes and behaviours before it is too late. From way of life based upon personal gains at the expense of each other to the way of life that can lead mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah. To change from laziness and craziness to being actively involved for putting humanity first not personal powers and profits. Don’t run humanity for business, run business for humanity. 79] It is Allah Who has provided you with living things to use them properly for your survival and as food for your thought These like verses explain the reasons why Allah has created all living things. By observing and experimenting with animals humans can learn a lot of knowledge which gives mankind food as well as food for thought. This is how human survival has been ensured by riding on other living and nonliving things. 80] and there are other benefits in them for you the mankind as you may think of yourselves such as they take you where you wish to go carrying you on their backs as ships carry you by sea. Word HAAJAH is from root HAA, WOW and JEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to not to be able to get what one needs. Also want, desire, wish, ambition, errand, resentment, objection, something necessary, to require, to be needy, to become disturbed for something, to feel weak or sad or worried or depressed for not getting something, to be jabbed by a thorn, to be in need of something, to be hungry or thirsty, to suffer from poverty or disease, to become entrapped, to feel frustrated, obstruction, wall, prevention, obstacle, to be bent or twisted, to be deceptive, to be beautiful, to be lasting, to be strong or solid, fence or something like fence in some sense, hook or something like hook in some sense, camel or something like camel in some sense etc etc. 81] That is how He shows you the mankind His evidences and explanations for your observation to learn from so which of the evidences and explanations from Allah can you really deny? 82] Why do those people who deny Our evidences and explanations not travel throughout the world and see what was the end of people who passed away before them and why they ended up the way they did? They were numerous as they are and they were powerful like them as they have left behind monuments as signs of their mental and physical power in the world yet all that they did not ensure their well being as a people due to the way of life they invented and adopted for themselves whereby they ended up destroyed by hands of each other. 83] It is because when their messengers came to them with Our clear warnings along with goals and guidelines for them, they boasted about the knowledge they had gained from their life experiences that gave them dominance over each other through undermining each other so the foretold terrible end at which they laughed hemmed them in and became a reality for them. 84] When they saw Our warning taking shape in reality they cried out, we commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to guidance of Allah, the One and only rightful ruler of the kingdom of this universe and we give up rulers we took for ourselves other than Allah. 85] But after seeing Our warning taking place in reality their declaration of commitment to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity benefited them not. Such is the way set-up systems and laws of Allah dealt with people in the past so it should be clear for mankind from such stories that those who reject and oppose Our guidance always end up in irreparable loss. Allah has given people all they need including his guidance and has set a time limit for them to live in this world properly but if they fail then there is no second chance so people should try their best to make it the first time if they wish to avoid disappointment and regret later. Discoveries about the real world realities are not the only thing people need to learn but revelation of Allah must also be paid full attention it deserves before it is too late because without that humanity cannot fulfil the purpose for which it is created by Allah. Without proper understanding of revelation of Allah human beings can never be sure as to what their discoveries about real world realities mean because that is only half of the picture. Moreover the Quran very clearly disapproves life based upon different versions of religion as well as secularism because it tells people another way to live in this world than the ways people have invented and adopted so far otherwise ending up in loss is inevitable for mankind. |
