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)
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ١
86:1. The vast expanse of sky and the glittering “Tharique” at dawn in it prove a fact.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ٢
86:2. Who can explain better than Allah about the “Tharique” that glitters at dawn?
ٱلنَّجۡمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ٣
86:3. It is the brightest star in the sky at dawn.
Dear intellectuals! What it looks like at night is true. But it does not disappear during the day. It is functioning still in its place. Its light disappears from your eyes during the daylight. You mistakenly think that it disappears.
إِن كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٞ٤
86:4. The same is true with regard to human actions. Everything that is done indirectly or secretly without the knowledge of others is preserved safely.
He deceives himself, mistakenly thinking that they will have no effect. He thinks we will not be caught in the grip of the consequences of those actions. His views are just speculation. Whether the actions are obvious or implicit, their effects will remain with him and the society in which he lives. They will not disappear from him. Thus, the arrangement of Rabbu (System) secures the consequences of every man's deeds as if protecting the star.
What are the consequences of his actions? When will it occur? It is not difficult to find out the answers to such questions. If he thinks a little, he will understand its true state. For example
فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ٥
86:5. Let the man examine the system of his birth a little.
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٖ دَافِقٖ٦
86:6. The onset of his birth is caused by the man's sensory drop being injected into the woman's uterus.
يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ ٱلصُّلۡبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ٧
86:7. Atomic-sized organ drop does not automatically form in a woman's womb. Instead, it is blown through the space between the male's spine and ribs. It unites with the woman's ovum and stays in the womb.
After that, many chemical changes take place in it and the baby is born after going through many stages. The time frame required for that has also been fixed.
In the same way, the effects of human actions pass through multiple grades as they too are timed to emerge. Those effects do not occur automatically. But are the result of your actions.
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجۡعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٞ٨
86:8. The consequences of man's actions are according to Rabbu's will. Rabbu is the one who has the power to cause such consequences.
The sperm of the male and the ovum of the female are separate but remain undeveloped despite their ability to grow. The embryo begins to grow only when they combine. All the ingredients in the woman's ovum become nutrients for the development of the sperm and help the baby to develop over some time.
In the same way, human life can only proceed to mingle in the social system. He cannot live alone. That life would be meaningless if he lives alone. So, when he lives in a social system, his every move continues to affect him and society. There is a time limit for good deeds or evil deeds to come to fruition. That's how they come to appear. That too will come.
يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ٩
86:9. So, the consequences of his secret actions too will be revealed. At such a time
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٖ وَلَا نَاصِرٖ١٠
86:10. No one will have the power to stop those effects. So no one can save him from the destruction caused by evil deeds.
That is, the baby is born after conception. It cannot be prevented. If prevented its effects will occur to that mother. Like that
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجۡعِ١١
86:11. Examine the raindrops falling from the sky. That too explains many facts.
That is, when that raindrop falls on the earth, it mingles with the earth and becomes a kind of force. It does not go up again like water. Everything that man does like that has its consequences. It cannot be undone. And as the tiny droplet becomes floods, so do the actions - for better or for worse - but the consequences are inevitable. (31:16)
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ١٢
86:12. Observe the germination of plant seeds by splitting the earth. That, too, seems to illustrate a fact.
That is, man can reap what he sows on the earth. Is it fair to sow the blackberry seed and look forward to the mango fruit? In the same way, the thoughts and actions of people grow based on what ideology is sown in their minds. So, if we feed and nurture the thoughts of the Quran, we will be a great society. Is it fair to leave this, do evil deeds and expect good results?
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ١٣
86:13. Creative and destructive activities are constantly going on in this world. This Qur’an declares what is right and what is wrong in deeds.
Its advice may be bitter to some. But research can ultimately pay off. Once the seeds are sown in the soil they will start to rot. Only then will it germinate and grow into a tree and continue to bear fruit. In the same way, difficulties will arise in the early period when following this Quran. But in the end, you will reap the fruits of your good efforts. (See 2: 155-156)
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ١٤
86:14. That is why this Qur’an does not talk about vain things. It talks about fruitful things.
إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗا١٥
86:15. Those who oppose this fact without properly understanding it are doing many tricks to prevent the implementation of the Quranic plans. (This continues to this day.)
وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدٗا١٦
86:16. But the rule of Rabbu is not blindfolded. Has been developing several plans to thwart those maneuvers.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا١٧
86:17. The fact that remains to be seen is the timings to those who reject it. Just like the time taken until the seed becomes a tree, leave them in their course until this Qur’anic rule is fully grown and fruitful. They can only do so for a while. Then they will fall into the clutches of the Quranic regime. Then, there will be the great renaissance that people are looking forward to.
