بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Whatever program we initiate in our life, will be as per the Pre-Directed Guidelines of Allah, the Most Benevolent and the Most Merciful. (6:162)
حمٓ١
ح - The Book of All Praiseworthy - مٓ - Revealed through Mohammed Nabi
43:1. This is the Scripture given by the Reformist Muhammad which deserves praise and admiration.
وَٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ٢
43:2. This is a Scripture that has been compiled with all details in clear-cut terms.
إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَٰنًا عَرَبِيّٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ٣
43:3. This Scripture, Al Qur’an is compiled clearly in a simple language you speak so that you understand its contents easily and become a great philosopher.
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِيٓ أُمِّ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَدَيۡنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ٤
43:4. The source of this Scripture is Allah, the Supreme power with infinite wisdom.
أَفَنَضۡرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَ صَفۡحًا أَن كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا مُّسۡرِفِينَ٥
43:5. Tell those who do not accept the advice of Rabbu and engage in illegal activities, “Just because you do not accept these guidelines, shall I stop advising Qur’anic principles to the people? Or will the disasters mentioned in it not come to you? ”
وَكَمۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن نَّبِيّٖ فِي ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ٦
43:6. Many Reformists came to all the communities of the world (Ref: 14:4)
وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ٧
43:7. Some of the people of that time had only mocked the reformist who came to reform the society.
فَأَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنۡهُم بَطۡشٗا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ٨
43:8. Those communities were stronger than the present ones. But Allah's law of “consequences of human deeds” is stronger than them. So, they fell victim to it. So, will it not happen to these people?
وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ٩
43:9. Ask them who created the universe and the earth. They will immediately say that Allah, the Almighty, the Wise, created them.
Therefore, those who accept that Allah has the power to create the universe and the earth do not want His guidance to interfere in their lives. He is better as far as His projects of the universe are concerned. They are prepared to praise Him too for His grand plans. But they think His intervention in their personal affairs is not right. Ask them
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَهۡدٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا سُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ١٠
43:10. Why don’t you take note of the fact that Rabbu is the One who made the earth a heavenly for you to live in and made arrangements for roadways for you to travel wherever you want?
وَٱلَّذِي نَزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءَۢ بِقَدَرٖ فَأَنشَرۡنَا بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ تُخۡرَجُونَ١١
43:11. Also, the One who arranged for the required quantum of rain falls from the sky. With it, the earth, which is dried up by itself, is revived and becomes greenish. In the same way, why do you not think that by acting as per Rabbu's guidance, your life will flourish and you can live better?
وَٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَزۡوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ مَا تَرۡكَبُونَ١٢
43:12. All creations have been created in pairs according to Rabbu's plan. It is He who created for you the giant-sized ships that are the means of transportation at sea, the horses and camels to travel on land?
لِتَسۡتَوُۥاْ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِۦ ثُمَّ تَذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَةَ رَبِّكُمۡ إِذَا ٱسۡتَوَيۡتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ وَتَقُولُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُۥ مُقۡرِنِينَ١٣
43:13. You ride on them and travel. Think about such grace of Rabbu. Had they not been created useful, how could you have got all these facilities? Remember that you have all these facilities because of the blessings of the Rabbu and His infinite powers are praiseworthy. You will realize that the power and might of Rabbu are beyond human imagination.
In modern times too, all means of transportation are available with the help of natural resources and they are all the blessings of Rabbu. It is because of such innumerable blessings from Rabbu that man is able to live better. But man must act in the way He has shown if his pleasures are to last. Because
وَإِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ١٤
43:14. Man must know that his every action will create its own consequences as prescribed by Rabbu and he has to face them.
وَجَعَلُواْ لَهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ جُزۡءًاۚ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَكَفُورٞ مُّبِينٌ١٥
43:15. But look at the ignorance of man. On the one hand, he accepts the facts of Rabbu's creation, on the other hand, he imagines that Rabbu has daughters and worships them. Thus, man forgets his lofty ambition and goes astray.
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخۡلُقُ بَنَاتٖ وَأَصۡفَىٰكُم بِٱلۡبَنِينَ١٦
43:16. Moreover, those who claim that Rabbu has daughters, wish to have only sons for them. (See 16:57)
That is, they imagine all the universal forces of nature as angels, take them as daughters of Rabbu, create imaginary idols and worship them.
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مَثَلٗا ظَلَّ وَجۡهُهُۥ مُسۡوَدّٗا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ١٧
43:17. When he is informed that a girl baby has been born instead of a boy as he prayed to the Benefactor, his face fades with anguish. And he gets angry thinking that he has been caught in a wretched state. (See also 16: 57-59)
أَوَ مَن يُنَشَّؤُاْ فِي ٱلۡحِلۡيَةِ وَهُوَ فِي ٱلۡخِصَامِ غَيۡرُ مُبِينٖ١٨
43:18. But he makes the colorful dresses and costumes to the imaginary female idols whom he worships and takes procession of it. But none of those idols have the power to know about human affairs. Yet they worship them.
وَجَعَلُواْ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عِبَٰدُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ إِنَٰثًاۚ أَشَهِدُواْ خَلۡقَهُمۡۚ سَتُكۡتَبُ شَهَٰدَتُهُمۡ وَيُسَۡٔلُونَ١٩
43:19. And they imagine the cosmic natural forces created by the Benefactor to carry out His projects as their goddess. Even they will talk as if they were eye witness of those creations. Will not their speech and actions be recorded? No. They must respond to every word they speak.
وَقَالُواْ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ مَا عَبَدۡنَٰهُمۗ مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا يَخۡرُصُونَ٢٠
43:20. Moreover, if anyone inquires about their true condition, they say that they are thus worshiping according to the will of Rabbu. They say that we would not have worshiped them if Rabbu had not willed. (See 6:148) But the fact is that they would not have spoken like this if they had understood the truth. They are imagining themselves and talking like this without any clear evidence.
أَمۡ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ كِتَٰبٗا مِّن قَبۡلِهِۦ فَهُم بِهِۦ مُسۡتَمۡسِكُونَ٢١
43:21. In support of their claim, ask if there has ever been a Scripture from the Rabbu before this.
بَلۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّهۡتَدُونَ٢٢
43:22. To this question, they say that they worship only what their ancestors worshipped. They say that they are following the same path as their ancestors did. Otherwise, they have no material evidence for their claims.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِي قَرۡيَةٖ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتۡرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّقۡتَدُونَ٢٣
43:23. O, Reformist! Their claim is not new. Whenever the reformist narrated the realities of guidance and warned about the evil consequences, the rich who lived in that community told nothing but, “We follow the way which our forefathers followed.”
To this day, when people are told these truths, they refuse to accept His guidance by saying this.
۞قَٰلَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكُم بِأَهۡدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمۡ عَلَيۡهِ ءَابَآءَكُمۡۖ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرۡسِلۡتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ٢٤
43:24. And the reformist said unto them, “Will you follow only the ways of your fathers, even if I bring you a better way?” But they only refused to accept his advice.
Despite explaining to them the virtues of Allah’s guidance and warning them of the consequences of their evil deeds, they persevered in their evil deeds. Therefore
فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡۖ فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ٢٥
43:25. Their evil deeds have yielded due retribution according to the rules of “the ultimate result of human deeds” prescribed by Rabbu. Turn on the pages of Historical records to find out just how terrible the consequences of their evil deeds were.
وَإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنَّنِي بَرَآءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡبُدُونَ٢٦
43:26. In the same way, Reformist Ibrahim Nabi explained to his father and his community. He claimed to have abandoned the cult they had been adhering to.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِي فَطَرَنِي فَإِنَّهُۥ سَيَهۡدِينِ٢٧
43:27. He also claimed to follow the guidance of the One Rabbu Who created him. He is the One who shows him the right way.
وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةَۢ بَاقِيَةٗ فِي عَقِبِهِۦ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ٢٨
43:28. And he exhorted not only himself but also his posterity, to depart from false superstitions, and to live in the way of righteousness:
بَلۡ مَتَّعۡتُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَرَسُولٞ مُّبِينٞ٢٩
43:29. But as far as their ancestors were concerned, their tumult prevailed until the evil effects announced by the reformist became clear.
They did not accept His guidance because they followed their mental desires. So, their lives have been in decline.
وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّ قَالُواْ هَٰذَا سِحۡرٞ وَإِنَّا بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ٣٠
43:30. When clear Scriptural truths came to them, they rejected them, saying that they were deceptive rhetoric.
Also, look at the speech of the people now. Notice the reason they say for their refusal to accept His guidance.
وَقَالُواْ لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡقَرۡيَتَيۡنِ عَظِيمٍ٣١
43:31. They ask, “Should not this Quran have been bestowed on the elders of these two cities, Mecca and Medina?”.
That is, in the past, guidance was given to people of high status like Reformist Dhawoodh and Reformist Sulaiman. There are still many great men in these two cities. “Should He leave them all and give this guidance to the common man?” They speak. (See 23: 33-34) So in matters like the revelation of guidance, they want that it should happen according to what they want. OK. Leave the matter to the Reformist and take a look at their livelihood distribution system.
أَهُمۡ يَقۡسِمُونَ رَحۡمَتَ رَبِّكَۚ نَحۡنُ قَسَمۡنَا بَيۡنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ وَرَفَعۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ فَوۡقَ بَعۡضٖ دَرَجَٰتٖ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعۡضُهُم بَعۡضٗا سُخۡرِيّٗاۗ وَرَحۡمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُونَ٣٢
43:32. Are they the ones who arrange the blessings of the Rabbu or share them? Many levels of human resources are needed to meet the various requirements of society. So, different industries are formed. Thus, the income of some becomes higher than that of others. There are also opportunities for some to employ others. So only when everyone's work is integrated can a ‘society’ be formed and it will prosper. So, the Rabbu's advice is to share their livelihoods equally and make way for all to live this way. If they do, they will get many times more happiness than the wealth they have accumulated. (See 16:71)
That is, no individual can become a society. Society is formed only when everyone lives together. As such the experiences of an individual cannot become the universal norm of the world. Therefore, the Qur’an, the universal truths, cannot be written at the will of an individual. Only Rabbu who is common to all the peoples of the world can give the right solution to the common problems of the people of the world. And the guidelines can only be announced by someone who is qualified.
وَلَوۡلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ لَّجَعَلۡنَا لِمَن يَكۡفُرُ بِٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمۡ سُقُفٗا مِّن فِضَّةٖ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيۡهَا يَظۡهَرُونَ٣٣
43:33. Thus man can live collectively by fulfilling the needs of one another according to the canon of Rabbu. People from all walks of life must live as a single community. (See 10:19) This is the Will of Rabbu. If Rabbu did not establish such a way of life, the greed for amassing wealth for man would have been too much and would be against the arrangement of the social system. Man would like the roofs and stairs of his house to be made of silver.
وَلِبُيُوتِهِمۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيۡهَا يَتَّكُِٔونَ٣٤
43:34. Such people want their doors and beds to be made of gold. Thus, there is no limit to their desires.
So, even if they were adorned with gold and silver, would they exalt humanity and high qualities? There will be views that such a life is special in societies that live without Rabbu’s guidance. But they can never be the solution to human problems. So, despite the professional differences in human society, Rabbu's guidance emphasizes that he should live together in unity.
وَزُخۡرُفٗاۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ٣٥
43:35. So, the attraction to these decorations can only give temporary pleasures. But they will never support the future sustainable life. They will lead societies to the brink of destruction. So, if you want future sustainable pleasures, you have to follow Rabbu's guidance and build social harmony. Only then will the present life and the future stable life be better.
وَمَن يَعۡشُ عَن ذِكۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ نُقَيِّضۡ لَهُۥ شَيۡطَٰنٗا فَهُوَ لَهُۥ قَرِينٞ٣٦
43:36. So, if the beneficent still ignore the advice of Rabbu, it is due to their mental desire of the satanic impulse to stand out. That alone can be their best friend. Thus, they become selfish.
وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَيَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهۡتَدُونَ٣٧
43:37. Such selfish leaders will lead people to deviate from the right path. But they also think that their performance is excellent. But they have no knowledge of the implications of their actions.
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يَٰلَيۡتَ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَكَ بُعۡدَ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقَيۡنِ فَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡقَرِينُ٣٨
43:38. Only when the consequences of their evil deeds appear, they will understand the fact. Then, they will lament, “There must have been a gap between such leaders and us, just as the gap between East and West! They have misled us so much!”
وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ إِذ ظَّلَمۡتُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ٣٩
43:39. Such nostalgia will arise due to unbearable pains that would result from their unjust acts. “None of your nostalgia will pay off. No one can stop the pain you have to experience.” This will be their situation.
أَفَأَنتَ تُسۡمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ أَوۡ تَهۡدِي ٱلۡعُمۡيَ وَمَن كَانَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ٤٠
43:40. These are the facts about the torments that will befall them in time. They blindly refuse to accept the fact. O, Reformist! These people who live as blind and deaf like this are obviously in misguidance! How can such people be brought to the right path?
فَإِمَّا نَذۡهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَإِنَّا مِنۡهُم مُّنتَقِمُونَ٤١
43:41. Even though you do not have the opportunity to know about the torments that befall them, they shall surely meet the consequences of their evil deeds later.
That is, all the warnings make them very sad. So, they want you to leave this world soon. But will your death prevent their suffering?
أَوۡ نُرِيَنَّكَ ٱلَّذِي وَعَدۡنَٰهُمۡ فَإِنَّا عَلَيۡهِم مُّقۡتَدِرُونَ٤٢
43:42. Or do they think that you can prevent the torments that will befall them only if you are alive? Rabbu is Almighty, the Most Merciful. (See 10:46 & 40:77)
فَٱسۡتَمۡسِكۡ بِٱلَّذِيٓ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡكَۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ٤٣
43:43. So you need not worry about what they are talking about. Be firm in your project and act with determination as you have been notified by revelation. There is no doubt that you are on the right track. So, you are sure to succeed in your goal.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذِكۡرٞ لَّكَ وَلِقَوۡمِكَۖ وَسَوۡفَ تُسَۡٔلُونَ٤٤
43:44. So act according to the instructions of the Qur'an and those who follow you will reach the highest level of human dignity. They will soon bear the fruits of their labor. Give them this good news.
وَسَۡٔلۡ مَنۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَآ أَجَعَلۡنَا مِن دُونِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ءَالِهَةٗ يُعۡبَدُونَ٤٥
43:45. But as for those who ignore the guidance of Allah, they set up other idols as gods and worship them. So, ask them, “Did the reformist who came before me instruct you all to ignore Allah and practice such worship?”
So, no reformist ever told people to follow any path other than Allah. (3:79) In the course of time after their demise, they imagined and devised such means.
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ بَِٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ٤٦
43:46. Similarly, We sent Reformist Moosa to convey Our guidance to King Fir’aun and his courtiers with sufficient evidence. He also told them that he had come as a messenger sent by Allah, the One and Only, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بَِٔايَٰتِنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنۡهَا يَضۡحَكُونَ٤٧
43:47. But they listened to the substantiated guidance he gave but made a mockery of it. (See 20: 52-59)
وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنۡ ءَايَةٍ إِلَّا هِيَ أَكۡبَرُ مِنۡ أُخۡتِهَاۖ وَأَخَذۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ٤٨
43:48. According to his precaution, many tragedies occurred one after the other in their country. Its cruelty continued to increase. (See 7: 133) Then We expected that they would turn to the right path.
وَقَالُواْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدۡعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهۡتَدُونَ٤٩
43:49. Whenever they were in distress, they said to Moosa, “We are ready to accept you as our guide. As per the promise of your Rabbu, we are prepared to accept his guidance once our afflictions are removed. So, make arrangements to remove these pains.”
فَلَمَّا كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِذَا هُمۡ يَنكُثُونَ٥٠
43:50. But when his torment was over, they broke their promise. Fir’aun also broke his promise to liberate the Israelites. (7: 135)
وَنَادَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي قَوۡمِهِۦ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَلَيۡسَ لِي مُلۡكُ مِصۡرَ وَهَٰذِهِ ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِيٓۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ٥١
43:51. Despite this, the protests against the government in that country intensified. Seeing this, Fir’aun became frightened. So, he issued several statements to retain his power. In it, he said, “O People of my country! Am I not the king of Egypt? Aren't the rivers flowing in my country also under my rule? Don't you know all these facts?”
أَمۡ أَنَا۠ خَيۡرٞ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مَهِينٞ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ٥٢
43:52. “Or do you consider Moosa, who is far behind, superior to me? He can't even speak clearly. Do you accept him as your leader?”
فَلَوۡلَآ أُلۡقِيَ عَلَيۡهِ أَسۡوِرَةٞ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوۡ جَآءَ مَعَهُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ مُقۡتَرِنِينَ٥٣
43:53. “If he is near and dear to his Rabbu, should not he have gold bracelets as evidence of that? Or should not the angels have come with him?”
فَٱسۡتَخَفَّ قَوۡمَهُۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمٗا فَٰسِقِينَ٥٤
43:54. He has been doing such campaigns to the people. Thus, he thought that the people of the country might come to support his rule without thinking of anything. But the truth is that the people of that country themselves did not want to go the right way. So Fir’auns campaigns strengthened many of them.
فَلَمَّآ ءَاسَفُونَا ٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ فَأَغۡرَقۡنَٰهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ٥٥
43:55. Thus their evil deeds went on increasing and so the period of destruction had begun. All of them perished in that destruction according to the canon of the Rabbu.
فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ سَلَفٗا وَمَثَلٗا لِّلۡأٓخِرِينَ٥٦
43:56. Thus, the communities have been recorded in the Historical record as “Extinct Community” instead of “The Best Community”. Thus, they have set an example of a disastrous one for the generations to come.
۞وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوۡمُكَ مِنۡهُ يَصِدُّونَ٥٧
43:57. So far, We have discussed the community of Reformist Moosa. In the same way, when the historical significance of Easa Nabi, son of Maryam is narrated, a sense of hatred develops in your community.
وَقَالُوٓاْ ءَأَٰلِهَتُنَا خَيۡرٌ أَمۡ هُوَۚ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلَۢاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٌ خَصِمُونَ٥٨
43:58. They say angrily, “Is he better than our God whom we worship?” That is, Christians ask, “just because he is preaching about social integrity, shall he oppose our deities? They are just talking to you for vain arguments.
إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا عَبۡدٌ أَنۡعَمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ مَثَلٗا لِّبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ٥٩
43:59. So, clarify the truth about him. He was a reformist who obeyed the command of Rabbu. He too was blessed with guidance from Rabbu. They were beautiful guidelines for the better life of the Israelites. Everything he practiced was a role model for them.
But they have been telling various fables about Reformist Easa after his death. One of them is that he is like an innocent angel*. They are spreading such rumors that he is the Savior of man's sins and that is why he shed his blood. But the truth is that. He is just like any other human being. *They imagine all cosmic forces that are created by Rabbu as “Angels”
وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَا مِنكُم مَّلَٰٓئِكَةٗ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَخۡلُفُونَ٦٠
43:60. If the angels had lived among them in the world as they perceive, Rabbu would have descended the angels. He would have given them the right to rule this earth. (See also 17:95)
So, Reformist Easa came to the world and worked for a great uprising of the Israelites. He was the final messenger to the Israelites in the descendants of Ishak. He was aware of the fact that Reformist Muhammad would be the last reformist and would be a descendant from Reformist Ismail (see 61:6, 7:157) and he has already announced this. So according to the plan of the Rabbu Muhammed Nabi has come.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَعِلۡمٞ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمۡتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَٱتَّبِعُونِۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ٦١
43:61. O, Reformist! Tell the people, “Easa had the wisdom that such an uprising would come again finally. As such, I have come to you as the final envoy of Rabbu, as he informed. (See 33:40) Let no one have any doubt about this. So, follow the way I show. That, in turn, will pave the way for a better life.”
وَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمۡ عَدُوّٞ مُّبِينٞ٦٢
43:62. Be careful. The selfish crowd may try to mislead you. Do not be fooled by such talk. They are your enemies.
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ عِيسَىٰ بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ قَالَ قَدۡ جِئۡتُكُم بِٱلۡحِكۡمَةِ وَلِأُبَيِّنَ لَكُم بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي تَخۡتَلِفُونَ فِيهِۖ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ٦٣
43:63. Similarly, Reformist Easa gave guidance to his community with clear evidence. He said, “I have come up with clear wisdom of the advice. I will eradicate the differences prevalent between the community people. All you have to do is to follow the guidance of Allah. And follow the social system which I establish on that basis.”
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ٦٤
43:64. And he said, “Allah is Rabbu, who created you and me. Obey only His guidance. That's the decent thing to do and it will lead you to the right path.”
فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِهِمۡۖ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمٍ أَلِيمٍ٦٥
43:65. Thus, Reformist Easa made reforms by proposing the principle of unity and integrity to his community. But in the course of time after his death, differences of opinion among his followers again emerged and they began to commit unjust acts. As a result, they all perished in agony.
هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ٦٦
43:66. The consequences of their misdeeds took place in a slow pace manner and they were unaware that their harm would come to the fore. Do they expect the same thing to happen now?
ٱلۡأَخِلَّآءُ يَوۡمَئِذِۢ بَعۡضُهُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ٦٧
43:67. Those who follow His guidance will escape from those harms. Others will perish due to enmity growing between themselves.
يَٰعِبَادِ لَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ تَحۡزَنُونَ٦٨
43:68. O followers of Our Guidance! There will be no fear or sorrow in your life. You are informed that you will always have the warmth and support of Allah.
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بَِٔايَٰتِنَا وَكَانُواْ مُسۡلِمِينَ٦٩
43:69. The reason is that they are following the guidelines of Allah. That is, they are all working for the good of the community.
ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ أَنتُمۡ وَأَزۡوَٰجُكُمۡ تُحۡبَرُونَ٧٠
43:70. Thus, as you and your followers are doing creative good deeds, the society in which you live will become like paradise. In it, you will be invited to live along with your wife and offspring.
يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِصِحَافٖ مِّن ذَهَبٖ وَأَكۡوَابٖۖ وَفِيهَا مَا تَشۡتَهِيهِ ٱلۡأَنفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ ٱلۡأَعۡيُنُۖ وَأَنتُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ٧١
43:71. Golden plates and bowls will be generously available to mark economic growth in the society in which they live. Such progress and facilities will immerse them in happiness. And it will be said, “Stay here forever.”
وَتِلۡكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِيٓ أُورِثۡتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ٧٢
43:72. But these are not given as gifts to them. They are entitled to Paradise as a result of the creative good deeds they are doing.
لَكُمۡ فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٞ كَثِيرَةٞ مِّنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ٧٣
43:73. There are also generous fruits available. You will eat them with satisfaction.
إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ فِي عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ٧٤
43:74. On the contrary, the position of the criminals who act against the guidance of Rabbu will be the direct opposite of these. Their lives will be miserable.
لَا يُفَتَّرُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَهُمۡ فِيهِ مُبۡلِسُونَ٧٥
43:75. Those miseries will increase day by day. All their efforts to avoid them will be in vain and they will be left in despair.
وَمَا ظَلَمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ٧٦
43:76. All this is not due to hatred over them, but would be the result of their evil deeds. Because no injustice will ever be done to anyone by Allah. (See 4:40)
وَنَادَوۡاْ يَٰمَٰلِكُ لِيَقۡضِ عَلَيۡنَا رَبُّكَۖ قَالَ إِنَّكُم مَّٰكِثُونَ٧٧
43:77. Unable to bear the torments, they will cry out to the authorities, “Tell your ruler to kill us with one blow.” To which they will reply, “You are the ones who have to endure such torments.”
لَقَدۡ جِئۡنَٰكُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَكُمۡ لِلۡحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ٧٨
43:78. The reason was that warnings had already come from the Rabbu that such torments would come. This situation would never have happened if you had thought about them and corrected your mistakes. But you hated them.
“What's the use of lamenting now?” will be the answer. The purpose of mentioning these is that you do not face such a situation. The reformist on behalf of Rabbu made this clear to the people of Makkah. But they don't seem to care at all about that. They are making secret plans to prevent the establishment of the regime of the Rabbu.
أَمۡ أَبۡرَمُوٓاْ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّا مُبۡرِمُونَ٧٩
43:79. It seems that they are all ready to fight against the regime of Rabbu. Convey the message to them, “We too are ready to thwart your plans.”
أَمۡ يَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّا لَا نَسۡمَعُ سِرَّهُمۡ وَنَجۡوَىٰهُمۚ بَلَىٰ وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيۡهِمۡ يَكۡتُبُونَ٨٠
43:80. Or will this regime not notice their secret gatherings and consultations going on among themselves? It is their plans that betray them.
What is the reason they are fighting this? Is it because you do not accept their claim that Easa is the Son of Allah?
قُلۡ إِن كَانَ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ وَلَدٞ فَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلۡعَٰبِدِينَ٨١
43:81. Tell them, “If the Benevolent Rabbu had a son, I would have been the first to submit myself to him!”
سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ٨٢
43:82. “But who is the Rabbu to whom I submit? He is the One who created the universe, all that is on the earth, and operates them under His control. You are degrading such an infinite Almighty Allah to the human level by saying that he is a father and has a son. Allah is far higher than such unnecessary commentary.”
فَذَرۡهُمۡ يَخُوضُواْ وَيَلۡعَبُواْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُواْ يَوۡمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ٨٣
43:83. If they do not change their mindset, then leave them in their course. It is as if they will continue to do so until the promised torment comes to them.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَٰهٞ وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَٰهٞۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ٨٤
43:84. All guidance is from Allah. He is not the only Rabbu of the galaxies, He is also the Rabbu, the Nourisher of all in the earth. All of His guidance is wise and is logical. So, every action you take will not go unnoticed by Him.
وَتَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ٨٥
43:85. All His blessings are vast and bountiful. The universe and everything on earth is operating according to His laws. So, the great renaissance that will take place now, will also take place over a fixed period. Because every action leads to the goal set by the Rabbu.
وَلَا يَمۡلِكُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَن شَهِدَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ٨٦
43:86. So they leave Allah and call on the imaginary gods. They worship them to create such a flourishing society. But those deities can never help them. But the guidance given by Allah is the only solution to their problems.
وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَهُمۡ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ٨٧
43:87. Ask them who is Rabbu who created you? They immediately mention Allah. But ask them where else are they going to deviate from the guidance of Allah.
وَقِيلِهِۦ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوۡمٞ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُونَ٨٨
43:88. The Reformist is sad that even after explaining to them in clear-cut terms, they do not seem to accept the guidance of Allah and be safe from that destruction. Allah knows this truth.
What is the use of cautioning about death for someone who has already decided to commit suicide?
فَٱصۡفَحۡ عَنۡهُمۡ وَقُلۡ سَلَٰمٞۚ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ٨٩
43:89. O, Reformist! Tell them, “The purpose of the guidance is to give you a peaceful, happy life. You will learn these facts very soon.”
