بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ 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)
Iron Hand
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ 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)
سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ١
57:1. All that is in the universe and on earth are working at full speed to fulfill the plans of Allah. Thus, they all bear witness to the power of Allah and the fact that all His plans are based on clear wisdom.
لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ٢
57:2. Thus the universe and the earth function under the authority of Allah. Life and death occur according to the same legal rules He has enacted. And every creation He has created is under His control.
The birth and death of an individual take place according to the legal rules laid down by Allah. In the same way, if society follows the guidance of Allah, it will become a living and vibrant society. Communities that do not follow them will become lifeless. And according to the plan of Allah, the dry land is revived by the rains and becomes a prosperous one.
Allah, with such great power and might, is beyond time, space and language. He is the Creator of all things on earth and in the universe. He is the One who makes them reach their ultimate goal.
هُوَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُ وَٱلۡأٓخِرُ وَٱلظَّٰهِرُ وَٱلۡبَاطِنُۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ٣
57:3. So no one can predict or fix that this is His beginning or this is His end. Furthermore, His creations - visible and non-visible witness His infinite powers. He is the one who knows well about each of His creations and what its ultimate goal is.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ
57:4. He is the One who created the universe and the earth in six stages. He not only created them but also implemented them under His control.
يَعۡلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا يَخۡرُجُ مِنۡهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا يَعۡرُجُ فِيهَاۖ
So, nothing can ever enter or leave this earth without His knowledge. Nothing can descend from skies or get out of it.
وَهُوَ مَعَكُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٞ٤
Likewise, no matter which corner of the world you are accelerating, He is with you. So, every action you take will have consequences according to the legal rules He has ordained. The reason
لَّهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرۡجَعُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ٥
57:5. Everything in the universe and on earth operates under His authority. So, every action you take will yield consequences according to the rules he has set.
يُولِجُ ٱلَّيۡلَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِي ٱلَّيۡلِۚ وَهُوَ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ٦
57:6. Night covers the daylight according to the same legal rules which He has enacted. The darkness of night is removed by the light of day. If this is true then it is also true that Allah is Almighty who knows the thoughts that penetrate in the mind of every one of you!
ءَامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَأَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا جَعَلَكُم مُّسۡتَخۡلَفِينَ فِيهِۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَأَنفَقُواْ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٞ كَبِيرٞ٧
57:7. Accept and act on the guidance of Allah, the Almighty, and the laws of the social system created on that basis. If you truly accept this, donate your surplus wealth for public welfare programs as a sign of it. Your wealth thus spent will never be wasted. You will surely get the corresponding benefits.
وَمَا لَكُمۡ لَا تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولُ يَدۡعُوكُمۡ لِتُؤۡمِنُواْ بِرَبِّكُمۡ وَقَدۡ أَخَذَ مِيثَٰقَكُمۡ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ٨
57:8. Even after giving so many explanations and assurances from Allah, what makes you refuse to act as per the constitutional laws and the by-laws enacted for social development which are functioning in the way shown by Rabbu? If you truly want to accept Rabbu's guidance, then keep your promise.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُنَزِّلُ عَلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦٓ ءَايَٰتِۢ بَيِّنَٰتٖ لِّيُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُمۡ لَرَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٞ٩
57:9. Only then will you know the purpose of the guidance given by Allah. It will become clear to you that these are announced only to free you from the darkness in which you are trapped and to take you to the side of radiant peaceful life. Only when you act in the way shown by Allah, you will become gracious and loving. May the grace and warmth of Allah be upon you.
وَمَا لَكُمۡ أَلَّا تُنفِقُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَٰثُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ لَا يَسۡتَوِي مِنكُم مَّنۡ أَنفَقَ مِن قَبۡلِ ٱلۡفَتۡحِ وَقَٰتَلَۚ
57:10. What restricts you from not spending your surplus wealth in the way that Allah has shown to you and developing such a high character? When all that are in the galaxies and the earth belong to Allah, how can you possess only the riches you have got forever? Shouldn't they have been dedicated to the social welfare programs under the guidance of Allah?
And on one side, those who accepted the guidance of Allah from the beginning risked their lives for it and devoted their wealth. On the other side, those who joined after the formation of the Islamic regime, after the victory in the war, after knowing the specialties of the regime and came forward to spend for the development of the society.
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَعۡظَمُ دَرَجَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنفَقُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدُ وَقَٰتَلُواْۚ وَكُلّٗا وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٞ١٠
The two categories are not equal. However, for those who support the sovereignty, the rule of Allah will support them and make way for them to reap beautiful benefits. But when it comes to rank status, priority will be given to the first category. Because it is the law of Allah that you will get the benefits according to the sacrifices you all make. (See 4:95 & 56: 8-12)
مَّن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يُقۡرِضُ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗا فَيُضَٰعِفَهُۥ لَهُۥ وَلَهُۥٓ أَجۡرٞ كَرِيمٞ١١
57:11. So, in order for the rule of Allah to function better, whoever extends financial support in a beautiful way, let him know one thing better. These will be considered as a deposit. Because their benefits will multiply and return to them.
يَوۡمَ تَرَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ يَسۡعَىٰ نُورُهُم بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَبِأَيۡمَٰنِهِمۖ بُشۡرَىٰكُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ جَنَّٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ١٢
57:12. Find out what such benefits are. When this regime works well, the social activist both men and women there will be seen with happy facial expressions. The reason is that there will be a continuous flow of many advantages from all sides. These benefits will announce to them that this is the life of the promised Paradise. Their economic growth will grow like a perennial river. Thus, they will continue to find lasting happiness as long as they maintain the rule of Rabbu. These joys will continue after death. Isn't having such a life a huge success?
يَوۡمَ يَقُولُ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلۡمُنَٰفِقَٰتُ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱنظُرُونَا نَقۡتَبِسۡ مِن نُّورِكُمۡ قِيلَ ٱرۡجِعُواْ وَرَآءَكُمۡ فَٱلۡتَمِسُواْ نُورٗاۖ
57:13. Thus, the social activists, who thus act in support of the schemes of the regime. On the other hand, there are hypocrites who do lip service to Allah and act against it. The time will come when those hypocrites will long for the benefits of this regime. Then, there will be a dilemma of asking the people of paradise, if they have any share in such a radiant life.
فَضُرِبَ بَيۡنَهُم بِسُورٖ لَّهُۥ بَابُۢ بَاطِنُهُۥ فِيهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَةُ وَظَٰهِرُهُۥ مِن قِبَلِهِ ٱلۡعَذَابُ١٣
Then, they will tell them, “This delight is not something that comes from outside. This is the one that shines from the impulsion of doing good deeds within you. For that, you will have to change your attitude and actions. The barrier to that is the screen of culture and tradition among you! (See 7:46) So there is only one way to tradition to heaven. That means accepting Rabbu's guidance and acting accordingly. Innumerable benefits are hidden in such good deeds. In the beginning, it may cause trouble. What is the use of feeling sorry at this juncture when everything is over?
يُنَادُونَهُمۡ أَلَمۡ نَكُن مَّعَكُمۡۖ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِنَّكُمۡ فَتَنتُمۡ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَتَرَبَّصۡتُمۡ وَٱرۡتَبۡتُمۡ وَغَرَّتۡكُمُ ٱلۡأَمَانِيُّ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ وَغَرَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡغَرُورُ١٤
57:14. Then the hypocrites will lament, “We were with you. Why are you leaving us now?” To which the heaven dwellers will reply, “It is true that you lived with us. But you have deceived yourself and gone bad. The reason is that you have never been truly involved in the plans of Allah. And you were skeptical that we would succeed in our project. Your selfishness had seduced you. The revival that was to take place as per the canon of Allah has taken place. Now, by the decree of Allah, the dizziness that prevailed among you has become clear. So, you deserve to be punished.”
فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ لَا يُؤۡخَذُ مِنكُمۡ فِدۡيَةٞ وَلَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ مَأۡوَىٰكُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ هِيَ مَوۡلَىٰكُمۡۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ١٥
57:15. Therefore, today there is no room for rectification and release you or the disbelievers who acted against the rule of Rabbu. The place you have to go and join is a hell of a prison. Now that is the right place for you. The worst place to live would be hell. The same situation will continue after death.
۞أَلَمۡ يَأۡنِ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَن تَخۡشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمۡ لِذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡأَمَدُ فَقَسَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡۖ وَكَثِيرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ١٦
57:16. And there are some who accept the guidance of Allah. They will accept Allah with their lips. His guidance is not rooted in their hearts. (See 49:14) But the plight of hypocrites and anti-socials is described at 57:14-15. Fearing that, they have to behave properly. Do not become like the people of the previous Scripture. (See 2:74) In time, they became more and more stubborn. So, most of them have gone astray instead of the right path. Don't be like them.
They need not regret their present position. Time has not yet passed. They can become good if they try.
ٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحۡيِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ قَدۡ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ١٧
57:17. For this, let them consider how the dry land gets flourished as per the framed laws of Allah. You have to work day or night to make it prosperous. (See 18: 7-8) Similarly, to become a good human is to work according to Rabbu's guidance. In this Quran, all things are clearly stated so that you may function better with thorough knowledge.
إِنَّ ٱلۡمُصَّدِّقِينَ وَٱلۡمُصَّدِّقَٰتِ وَأَقۡرَضُواْ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗا يُضَٰعَفُ لَهُمۡ وَلَهُمۡ أَجۡرٞ كَرِيمٞ١٨
57:18. Remember. Men and women who perform as per the plans of Allah on the global level and make them come true are the best followers of guidance. Such people should come forward to extend material support beautifully so that the social welfare schemes can function better as per the guidance of Allah. (See 2: 261-262) Only such good people will be rewarded many times over. (See 57:12)
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦٓ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَۖ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءُ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرُهُمۡ وَنُورُهُمۡۖ
57:19. And the “true believers” are those who accept Allah, His Pre-Directed laws on the same basis and work hard to make them true. Such people will be included in the list of “Great Classic Men” according to the canon of Rabbu. They have a bright future for themselves.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بَِٔايَٰتِنَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ١٩
On the contrary, many problems will arise in the lives of those who reject the guidance of Allah and falsify His plans. And the place where they all go will be hell.
ٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لَعِبٞ وَلَهۡوٞ وَزِينَةٞ وَتَفَاخُرُۢ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَتَكَاثُرٞ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡوَٰلِ وَٱلۡأَوۡلَٰدِۖ
57:20. Learn one thing more. For such refuters of guidance, worldly life would be a futile game. Fun and vain chats abound in their communities. They are what make them look beautiful. They will be proud of them. And there will be competition to outdo each other in amassing wealth for their children.
كَمَثَلِ غَيۡثٍ أَعۡجَبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَىٰهُ مُصۡفَرّٗا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَٰمٗاۖ
Their lifestyle can be illustrated with an example. Rain falls from the sky and the land becomes green and prosperous. The farmer is overjoyed to see it. But its crops quickly dry up and become compostable. He never had the ability to protect those crops before they were polluted. So, his pleasures become temporary.
وَفِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞ وَمَغۡفِرَةٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضۡوَٰنٞۚ وَمَا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ إِلَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡغُرُورِ٢٠
Similarly, those who do not worry about future safety plans and live for temporary happiness only get no share in future happiness. Their lives become miserable. So, the guidance of Allah leads to a stable, happy, secure life in the present and future. So let them know that present happiness is insignificant when it comes to keeping the future lasting happiness.
سَابِقُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَغۡفِرَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرۡضُهَا كَعَرۡضِ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أُعِدَّتۡ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۚ
57:21. So act according to the guidance that has come from your Rabbu and hasten towards your secure life. Strive hard to create a problem-free, heavenly society based on that. Such heavenly life extends not only to the earth but also to the galaxies (See 3: 133)
ذَٰلِكَ فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلۡفَضۡلِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ٢١
Such a life is prepared only for those who act in accordance with the guidance of Allah and the constitutional laws based on it. Such a life is available only to those who seek the bounties of Allah. Therefore, as per the Laws ordained by Allah, they too are the recipients of great grace.
مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٖ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا فِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبٖ مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن نَّبۡرَأَهَآۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٞ٢٢
57:22. So the tragedies that befall the community or the individual, occur only in accordance with one’s activities and this law has already been ordained by Allah. (See 4:79) It is very easy for Allah to make such legal provisions.
That is, natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions occur in the world. It is the duty of the regime to make security arrangements to protect itself from this. For this too, financial support and cooperation of the people are essential. In the same way, tragedies also often occur in the form of riots, insurgencies, war, etc. All of these are caused by human misconduct. So, no matter what the tragedy is, man can be saved from destruction if he follows Rabbu's guidance. Therefore,
لِّكَيۡلَا تَأۡسَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمۡ وَلَا تَفۡرَحُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخۡتَالٖ فَخُورٍ٢٣
57:23. There is no point in sitting back and regretting that happiness has been missed. For the rest of their lives, they have to work tirelessly and raise their standard of living according to Rabbu's guidance. After doing so and gaining facilities, you should use them to uplift the living standards of those who are left in dire need. You should not be in any great joy that all the wealth belongs only to you because they are obtained through your labor. (See 4:36) Allah does not love those who arrogantly disregard this guidance of Rabbu.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَبۡخَلُونَ وَيَأۡمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلۡبُخۡلِۗ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡغَنِيُّ ٱلۡحَمِيدُ٢٤
57:24. So those who deceive themselves and mislead others by thinking that it is better to live selfishly, the consequences will come to them. Let those who wish to live refuting the guidance of Allah live so. Its effects will not be on Allah but them. Laws enacted by Allah that good results for good deeds and evil consequences for evil deeds are commendable.
لَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلَنَا بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَأَنزَلۡنَا مَعَهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمِيزَانَ لِيَقُومَ ٱلنَّاسُ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۖ وَأَنزَلۡنَا ٱلۡحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأۡسٞ شَدِيدٞ وَمَنَٰفِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُۥ وَرُسُلَهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٞ٢٥
57:25. And all the reformists who came into the world came with clear Scriptures. They all worked hard to bring about social harmony. They made it possible for people to live with justice and equality. To maintain law and order, solid substances like iron, were made available on earth by Him. And from it, they could make useful things such as utensils, safety shields, and weapons to protect against danger. They are also used to testify who is using them properly to help the regime. So, the consequences will be in consonance with your usage. Surely the plans of Allah are mighty.
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحٗا وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَٱلۡكِتَٰبَۖ فَمِنۡهُم مُّهۡتَدٖۖ وَكَثِيرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ٢٦
57:26. Reformist Nooh and Reformist Ibrahim acted on the same basis. Guidance and Scripture were passed on to their descendants after them. Some of them followed the right path and lived better. And many have ignored them and gone astray.
ثُمَّ قَفَّيۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم بِرُسُلِنَا وَقَفَّيۡنَا بِعِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡإِنجِيلَۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ رَأۡفَةٗ وَرَحۡمَةٗۚ وَرَهۡبَانِيَّةً ٱبۡتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبۡنَٰهَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ رِضۡوَٰنِ ٱللَّهِ فَمَا رَعَوۡهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَاۖ فََٔاتَيۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ أَجۡرَهُمۡۖ وَكَثِيرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ٢٧
57:27. Thus, many reformists came to the world one after another. Similarly, Easa, the son of Mary, was the final reformist of the Israelites. He was given the Bible. Compassion and generosity developed in the hearts of all who followed the scripture. But after the demise of Reformist Easa, over time they deviated from the Guidance. As a result, soofy-ism began to grow among them. But the hermitage was never supported by Scripture. Yet they say that they seek recluse for the sake of Allah. But they could not maintain it. Some of them acted according to the scriptures. Allah has never wasted their labor. He made way for them to get the benefits they deserved. But most of them have gone astray.
If you ignore the instructions of Allah and disregard them, you will eventually become ascetics and Sufis just like them.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَءَامِنُواْ بِرَسُولِهِۦ يُؤۡتِكُمۡ كِفۡلَيۡنِ مِن رَّحۡمَتِهِۦ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ نُورٗا تَمۡشُونَ بِهِۦ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ٢٨
57:28. O followers of Our Guidance! Obey the guidance of Allah and the By-laws that govern the state. This will bring you benefits in this life and the Hereafter. This will make your life brighter. And that is the right way to function better and have a safer life. Do not doubt that the plans of Allah are for the protection of all people.
لِّئَلَّا يَعۡلَمَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ أَلَّا يَقۡدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ مِّن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَنَّ ٱلۡفَضۡلَ بِيَدِ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلۡفَضۡلِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ٢٩
57:29. If you do so, you will receive all the blessings from Allah. At present, the followers of the previous Scriptures think that they alone are entitled to such blessings. This can be proved to be false by those who act according to His guidance. So, the blessings of Allah are common to all. It is the will of Allah that should be available to those who work for it. Thus, the grace and bounty of Allah are infinite.
Chapter No: 58 – Soorah: Mujadhla (Trial in the court)
