Tafseer Surah Baqarah

353

Verse 1 and 2
 Revealed after migration of the prophet to Medina.
 Most of the Medinite revelation, comprise details more than those of
Makkan, covering branches of Islam than the basics
 Verses are less intense in threats and warnding much of admonitions
and warnings much because it address believers’ issues, contains more
of clarification , expositions and explanations of details in order to act
 They contain longer verses that Meccan revealed verses

‫ال م م‬
ٓ ١ٓ ‫م‬
1. Əlif, Lam, Mim.

Alphabets of the Arabic Language. Recited as so and not joined as a word like
‘alam’ which is incorrect.
Scholars differ regarding them and their objectives before the satrat of certain
surah
Four Opinions are preponderant
 Letters have meanings :
The scholars differed on assignment of meaning whether it is the
meaning of surah, time span of Ummah or the like

 Letters DO not have meaning- Most correct opinion and is related from
Mujahid. This quran was revealed in Arabic tongues and the letters don’t
have a meaning in and of themselves. We don’t not have knowledge
regarding the choice of these letters of Allah and consigning them this
order.

 Letters do have meaning but known only to Allah; they reasoned that
Allah will not reveal something without meaning

 Abstention for Delving into details, only restrict ourselves to recitation


Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353

Wisdom behind having them in beginning of certain chapters


Those who hold that tey have meaning, hold that it incidates wisdom behind
surah. Those hold that they have no meaning aor that we should abstain from
saying anything. The preponderant opinion is that the wisdom of these letters
is to indicate eloquence of quran, wonderance and its inimitability. It indicates
that quran did not employ letter not used by man, it used letter wheich men
speak yet renders it inimitable. Had there been letters which men did not use,
this would render it futile, but employing lettersm maks quran inimitable. This
opinion is held by ibn taymiyya, ibn Qayyim and Hafidh dhahabi.
Some scholars held that the letters motivate the listener, to silent him. This
enables the disbelievers to listen and draws attention. This is not a reliable
strong argument because ahd this been the case it would have been present at
the beginning of all chapters. Moreover, its would have been mentioned in the
Meccan revelation more than Medinan, as they primarily address disbelievers’
issues.
Surahs with Letters mention Quran and its Salient features
There are no surahs in which the letters are mentioned that the following
vereses mention the quran or its characteristics.
Surha Maryam mentions no mention of surah quran, but it mentions qualities
of quran like narrative of previous nations which is quality or feature of the
quran.
Surah rum, too does not mention of the quran, but the mentioning of features
of the quran that is forseeing future i.e victory of Rum.
Surah Ankaboot, also does not mention quran after these letters but
mentions a feature of the quran that is information of the news of previos
nations.

2. This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil).
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Demonstrative pronoun is used here or dhalika. The laam in dhalika indicates
‘remoteness’ indicating highness and high rank of the quran
This is an addressing for all for whom an address is made.
Al kitab
This is a book which is “written’ with Allah, also written in noble records of angels as
smentoned in surah Abasa verse 13:15. It is also written in the hands of people as
copies.

‫ن‬
‫قي ن‬ ‫دى ٓللل م‬
‫مت ت ق‬ ‫نل ٓنرلي ه ب‬

The laa- shows negations of kind and type, a general, utmost

There is no doubt, less of abundant. The article ‘laa’ is
negations of types.
‫ب‬‫نرلي ه ب‬
The doubt , refers to the doubt which is associated with unease, due to
strength of reason calling to doubt.
It is an informative statement not a commanding one as some schoalrs hold.
This is based on fundamental foundation of understanding the quran. We must
understanding is with obviously understood meanings, except with a reason
or need.
For example; 2:228

228. And the divorced women should keep themselves in waiting for three courses; and
it is not lawful for them that they should conceal what Allah has created in their wombs,
if they believe in Allah and the last day; and their husbands have a better right to take
them back in the meanwhile if they wish for reconciliation; and they have rights similar
to those against them in a just manner, and the men are a degree above them, and
Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Apparent meaning shows that it is informative but the actual in case here is that it is
command since normally it is not that she actually ends up waiting, rather it is
command. This is the apparent meaning which is its face value
The interpretation of speech in oppostion to the literal and apparent meaning is
blameworthy. The interpretation of speech in accordance with the literal meaning is not
blameworthy. With regards to man he may express oppostite to what he intends de to
fallibility and shortcoming. However, the words of Allah are originating from Allah with
utmost wisdom and knowledge.
‘Whereof there is not doubt’ is an informative statement meaning that there is no doubt.

Not a prohibitory statement:


Those who resorted to the verse to mean prohibition of doubting, because the doubts
comes from disbelievers citing the verse 9:45.. ‘so in their doubts they waiver..’
Allah is referring in this statement and telling about the quran and not more than that He
is not mentioning about those who it is revealed. It is of no significance for us if they
doubt or not.
e.g. this water is fresh and agreeable – description of water irrespective of whether it is
agreeable to some or not
Those who doubt or waiver say that due to disdain or rejection surah an’aam 6:33 ..” it
is not you they deny but the verse of Allah..’

‫ن‬ ‫ن ٓٱلظ تل ق ق‬

Many may not have real doubt considering the quran and know prophet cannot bring
something like quran, yet deny due to rejection.

from punishment of Allah by complying with His command and
abstaining from His prohibition.
Both the Guidance of direction and the guidance of success is referred

Reconciling two verses -2:2 and 2:185 Guidance to Pious or


Guidance to Mankind?

It is guidance to the pious “guidance ot pious” and the saying of Allah in

mankind referring to directing or showing the path “huda ilmil wal
irshad”. For example, gauidance to mankind and saying of Allah
regarding guidance to Thamud. The guidance referred here is ‘general
type.’
Surah Fg 41:17 “fa’ama thamud fa hadynaahum”
Particular type of Guidance which is specific to the pious, the ability to
act upon the directed path or guidance of success.
Surah fussilat :44
“Qul hua lil ladheena aamanu hudan wal shifa”

3. And who believe in that which has been revealed to you and that which was
revealed before you and they are sure of the hereafter.
They believe in all the books revealed including the Quran. Allah mentions the quran
first and foremost to emphaisie the necessity to believe in it and that it is abrogating of
all the revelations previous to it. the previous revelations are Torah, Zabur, Injeel , and
the Saheefa Ibrahim.

‫بوهبٱللل ه‬
‫خبرهة مه لم ميوهقمنوبن‬
They believe in resurrection after death, day of judgement to follow and reward and
punishment therein. Allah stated belief in certaintiy in here-after yet it is part of belief in
unseen. This is mentioned separately to emphasizes its importance, belief in hereafter
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353

from the prohibitions. The belief in hereafter is certain without any doubt whatsoever.

Those who fulfill these conditiond and posses these qualities are on ture guidance. The
particular of remoteness “ulaa’ika” and the particle “ala” show honour and respect to
them. these are the pious who examine the sha’riah of Allah with insight. Their belief in
pre decree with utmost trust and act patiently and forbearingly. Their guidance is like a
mount in time of no ride and like a ship in a stormy voyage.

The Lordship here is special one which comprises a nourishment in this life and ehre-
after.

‫بوأ مووىلبهئبك مهمم ٱللمملفلهمحوبن‬

the ‘they’. The high rank and utmost care they have with regards to their belief and

Definition: Attianing what is sought, and being saved from what is feared
A comprisehensive term with comprises negation of all evil and occurrence/affirmation
of what is good.
Conjunctive Usage of attributes entails Variation
It is known to people of knowledge – conjunction in grammer entails variation and
difference.of ther person is one how could he have all these qualities?
e.g. Surah A’laa 1-4 the benefit of mentioning these attributes, affirmation of 1 st
attribute as if He said Allah is saying I am wualified with the 1 st attribute and More.’

Benefits of verses
Hence with regard to the qualities of believer mentioned and the promise of them being
guided, depends on the fact that they should have those qualities mementioend which
are separated by ‘and’ or wa. A similar usage is shown in surah A’la above.
Benefits of verses

1) Belief in the witnessed is not belief as it cannot be denied.Establishment of


prayers obligatory and optional, motivating believers to establish Salah as it is
the quality of believers. The prayer s prescribed by Sha’riah , tranqulity,
submission its standing, sittent bowing etc
2) Qualities of pious as mentioned by Allah, obligatory spending like zakah and the
voluntary in way of Allah. Charity of one who sezes wealth falsely/illegally is not
accepted or not legislated “ mimma razaqnahum” this is deducted from saying of
Allah “ from that which we provide for them” meaning from what is provided and
acquired lawfully.
3) Spending in charity,is not limited to a certain amount, but permissible to spend all
of it. Abu Bakr gave all his wealth in charity as long as it does not involve
abandoning duty of spending on family. If spending all implies such abandonment
then obligatory charity takes precedence over optional one( which may be all)
4) Dispraise of Misery-- no spending implies no commendablity for it. This implies
that non- spending is condemnded as spending is commendable. Allah did not
mention the ways in which spending took place. However this is mentioned in
other places, emphasizing that commended spending is done in cause of Allah
without extraavaganve and nor misery
Surah furqan 25:67

67. And they who when they spend, are neither extravagant nor parsimonious, and
(keep) between these the just mean.
5) Qualities for believers that they belive in what is spent down on prophet and what
was sent to those before him
6) Belief in Last day with certianity , because it motivates for action in rightesness
and abstinence from evil. Allah always links faith in Him and then here-after.If one
does not believe in here-after, the he has no motivation to do goo and abstain
from evil.
7) Safety and Security of path of those qualified and those mentioned in the verses
8) Lordship is general and Particular, both mentioned in one statement concerning
the magicians of Pharoah.

The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "The people of Paradise will look at the dwellers of the
lofty mansions (i.e. a superior place in Paradise) in the same way as one looks at
a brilliant star far away in the East or in the West on the horizon; all that is
because of their superiority over one another (in rewards)." On that the people
said, "O Allah's Messenger (‫ !)ﷺ‬Are these lofty mansions for the prophets which
nobody else can reach? The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬replied," No! "By Allah in whose Hands
my life is, these are for the men who believed in Allah and also believed in the
Apostles."

2. People Deserving of punishment - never believes no matter who calls-
reason for disbelief –

Apparent submission to Allah on face value they are Muslims but with terms

Narrated Abu Huraira:


The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three: Whenever he
speaks he tells a lie; whenever he is entrusted he proves dishonest; whenever
he promises he breaks his promise." Sahih al-Bukhari 2749
How could it be that they deceive Allah and He knows it? how would it be
called deception
 They pretend Islam it is if they think they deceive Allah. All the rulings of
Islam while thy pretend Islam, they seek refuge from ruling of Allah
which prevents taking his wealth and blood.

11. Have you not seen those who have become hypocrites? They say to those
of their brethren who disbelieve from among the followers of the Book: If you
are driven forth, we shall certainly go forth with you, and we will never obey
any one concerning you, and if you are fought against, we will certainly help
you, and Allah bears witness that they are most surely liars. [Surah Hashr
59:11]
 The hypocrites would give false promises of siding the Jews to stand
against the prophet ‫ﷺ‬

2. Spying and leaking secrets alibies

enemy.

idiocy and lack of understanding of matters they don’t know the gravity of the
mischief

Benefits of Verses

3. Greatest affliction- mischief becomes beautified in the eye of man such
that he sees himself as a peacemaker. “we are only peace makers”

to livelihood only. The correct reform is that the person trails the path of
Allah clearly and openly in all matters
5. Not everyone is to be believed on their claim on religion they make.

1. Misleading and false propaganda

himself and this necessitates that the one who follows the path of Allah
is sane

inordinacy, blindly wandering on.
16. These are they who buy error for the right direction, so their bargain shall
bring no gain, nor are they the followers of the right direction.

shayateem or their leaders- they die them
 Called Shayaateen- due to their intense rebellious nature.
 Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬described the black dog as shaytan, this dog does not mean it
is shaytan amongst the jinn but he is of Shaytaan or rebellious one of his
own kind in the kinds of dogs- the worse in rebellion and ugliest of dog
 “Al kalbu aswadu” Shaytaan this is the shaytan of a group or people.
 To the believers they say we believe but to their shayateen they say “we
are with you”
 They intend to mock believers

A. Imperfect attributes: We cannot name Him with such attributes but
cannot name Him with that
 Allah speaks but He cannot be called “Mutakallim” it is not of the names
of Allah
 Speech could be evil or good, truth or lie ,justice or injustice
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
B. Absolutely Perfect Attributes
Allah is named with them Arahmaan arraheem, al ghafoor, Samee
Such name comprise of attributes so these are names which Allah
named Himself with them-absolutely perfect
C. Not generally perfect ,perfect when restricted
Allah cannot be described with such attributes except with restrictions eg.
‫خ ذاَع‬
Deception, Allah is Maakir ‫ ماكر‬or plotter only to those who plot against Him
and His messenger
The muntaqim- the Avenger- the title
Scholars differ
a. Allah is not described with this title alone but with couple name ;only
ascribed with afuww or forgiveness
Al afuw al muntaqim
It is not praiseworthy attribute generally but only with afuww
The same applies to al mudhill the one who humiliates- Allah is not to be
descriebd by that unless alongwith al muizz
Addar the one who causes harm, Allah is not to be described with this
ttitle on its own unless with nafiy on benefactor anafiy and dar
They called them “coupled names.”

b. Allah is not be described with these names at all whether individually


nor together
There is no evidence to say this-
This title is not perfect alone unless restricted and mentioned with
those who deserve avenging .
 Opinion of ibn taymiyyah
 Hadeeth mentioning of names of Allah with Muntaqim is
inauthentic.

33. Say: My Lord has only prohibited indecencies, those of them that are
apparent as well as those that are concealed, and sin and rebellion without
justice, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down
any authority, and that you say against Allah what you do not know. [Surah
a’raf 7:33]

Seeing.

71. And if they intend to act unfaithfully towards you, so indeed they
acted unfaithfully towards Allah before, but He gave (you) mastery over
them; and Allah is Knowing, Wise. Surah Anfal 8:71
 Allah did not say “Allah betrayed them”
 When Allah described the hypocrites in Surah nisa
‫مممممه بو ىبخ هد مع مه لم ب‬
‫ممممموإمهمممبذمماَ بق ا مم لو واَ إه بل ى ٱل ت‬
‫ص بل ىو هة بق ا ممو واَ مممكبسممما بل ىى مي برآ مء و بن‬ ‫ى‬ ‫ى‬

142. Surely the hypocrites strive to deceive Allah, and He shall requite their
deceit to them, and when they stand up to prayer they stand up sluggishly;
they do it only to be seen of men and do not remember Allah save a little.
Surah nisaa 4:142
 Deception and deceit is a praiseworthy attribute when restricted sense
 Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬described war as deception ‫اَلح ر ب خدع‬
 ‫ ل ت خ ن م ن خ ا ن‬he also described don’t betray those who betray you

3.Warning the transgressors

Allah gives respite ‫ي م ل ي‬


He then seizes then a final chastisement or punishment

‫ممم بمحليمممممبمم م‬
١٨٢ ‫لمممم بي لممعبلممممممو بن‬
‫ث‬ ‫مممممم لملن‬ ‫بوٱ لت هذ ي بن بك تذ مبو واَ ‍هبب ا ىبي هت بنامم ببسنممم ل‬
‫مممسبتمممملدمم هممرمجممم مه‬
182. And (as to) those who reject Our communications, We draw them near
(to destruction) by degrees from whence they know not.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353

How can we distinguish between the blessing of allah and the increase in
?worldly measure due to Allah’s giving respite in transgression
If the person is upon righteousness and obedience then this is favor if he is
upon misguidance and disobedience then this is granting of respite by giving
more before Allah seizes
‫اَ س تدراَج‬
Hypocrites are blinded from knowing truth .4

Exceeding limits transgression- a person gives his won saying over the saying
of allah and His messenger

‫ل إهتن ٱ ت ب‬
١ ‫ل بسهميلع بعهليةم‬ ‫ى لبيأ بديبها ٱلتهذيبن بءاَبممنوواَ بل متبقلدمموواَ ببليبن بيبديه ٱ ت ه‬
‫ل بوبرمسولهههنۦ بوٱتتمقوواَ ٱ ت ء ب‬
1. O you who believe! be not forward in the presence of Allah and His
Messenger, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is
Hearing, Knowing.

16. These are they who buy error for the right direction, so their bargain
shall bring no gain, nor are they the followers of the right direction. Surah

2. Loser in commerce
3. Man may think that he is doing good but he is doing evil
4. Los of hypocrites in that which they seek for profit
5. Profiting and losing revolves around the following or not following
guidance- surah Al Asr
‫ل بوبرمسولهههۦ‬ ‫ متلؤهممنوبن هبٱ ت ه‬١٠ ‫ب أبهليءم‬ ‫ى لبيأ بديبها ٱلتهذيبن بءاَبممنوواَ بهلل أبمدلدمك لم بعبلىى هتىبجبر ءة متنهجيمكم لملن بعبذاَ د‬

 Every mischief doer and innovator feels he is upon guidance and
does not retract from his evil
 Simple ignorance is better than compound state of ignorance.

17. Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had
illumined all around him, Allah took away their light, and left them in utter
darkness-- they do not see.
18. Deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they will not turn back.
19. Or like abundant rain from the cloud in which is utter darkness and
thunder and lightning; they put their fingers into their ears because of the
thunder peal, for fear of death, and Allah encompasses the unbelievers.
Explanation
Their likeness is like the one who ask one to kindle to fire or asks something
so he can kindle fire. When it lights (around the one who kindled it) but it did
not reach far, Allah took away the light, the heat alone remained of the fire.
The moment light imitated Allah took it away
Differences in the Pronouns used
1. Singular person 0 two singular nouns ‫ستمممملومممبقممبدممم‬
‫ممم ب‬ ‫أب ب‬
‫ٱ ل‬and ‫ بحلوبلمهۥ‬,‫ضابءلت‬
2. Plural ‫ هبمنوهرهه لم‬and ‫صممممر و بن‬
‫ مممميملبمم ه‬,‫بو بت بر بك مه لم‬
Reason for differences in Pronoun
1. Allah is referring with a demonstrative pronoun denoting generality;
then it is applicable to singular and plural. The plurality refers to
demonstrative article in context of meaning
2. The one who kindles the fire had company with him-kindled for himself
and his company- the verse is exemplifying the heads of hypocrites and
their followers. Head- one who kindle of fire followers are others- the
light went away and all of them were left in darkness
types of Darkness –
1. Darkness of Night ‫ظ ل م ة اَ لل ي ل‬
2. Darkness of weather (cloudy)
3. Darkness remnant after light is taken away
It is more dark then the prevalent one.

‫ص دم‬
‫م‬
 Deaf- deaf from the truth, they don’t hear it
 Negation of beneficial hearing –not comprehension and listening.
 It is not physical and comprehensive listening
 Deaf to the signs of Allah from His messenger

21. And be not like those who said, We hear, and they did not obey. Surah
Anfaaal 8:21

‫مب لك‬
‫ممملم‬
 Dumb: they are dumb in truth do not speak the truth
 All channels of truth are blocked – no hearing no speaking nor
seeing
‫مممممممم ب‬
‫يمممل لممرهجمممعممممو بن‬‫ب‬ ‫بف مه لم‬
It is because of these three qualities- don’t return to truth

Benefits of the verses:


1. Eloquence of Quran
 Parable between theming physical to that which is comprehended.
٤٣ ‫مممممممممبمممماممم بي لممعهقممملممبها إهتل ٱ للممى ب هعلممممم و بن‬ ‫بوهت لل ٱممم ل ب ى‬
‫بو‬ ‫س‬ ‫مممممبكممللم ممبثممملمم بن ممم ل ه‬
‫ضرمممممبمممبها هلل تنا ن ه‬
43. And (as for) these examples, We set them forth for men, and none
understand them but the learned. [Surah Ankaboot 29:43]
.
2. Affirming Analogy
 Analogy is an evidence to be considered and taken
 Allah wants us to make knowledge of hypocrites and the kindler of
fire
 Every parable in quran s evidence for affirmation of analogy
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
3. No light in the hearts of hypocrites
 When guidance comes to them- it diminishes since swiftly and does not
settle.
4. Faith is light
It influences even the heart of hypocrites
And when it lit that which is around”
Faith did light their hearts, but it had no basis or foundations it extinguished

‫طمممهب بع بع لب ىى ممقملممو هب هه لم بف‬ ‫بء‬ ‫ىبذ له ب‬
‫ك هب أ بتنمه لم‬
4. That is because they believe, then disbelieve, so a seal is set upon their
hearts so that they do not understand. Surah munafiqoon 63:3

5. Intense Dark nesses replaced the light

6. Allah recompensed them in accordance with what was there in


their hearts

Does man have no chance in faith or belief as jabariyyah?


Allah took away their light because they were the cause of their light being
taken away. Every description of misguidance from Allah is because of cause
from them

٥‫مممم بي لممههدمميممم ٱ لمملبقمم لممموممبممٱمم للممىبفممم هممسهقممممي بن‬ ‫ممبفلبمممتما بزاَ مغ لو واَ أببزاَ بغ ٱ مممم م تقملممممملممو بب مه ءلم مممممٱبوممم ب‬
‫ممممملتلم‬
And when Musa said to his people: O my people! why do you give me
trouble? And you know indeed that I am Allah´s messenger to you; but
when they turned aside, Allah made their hearts turn aside, and Allah
does not guide the transgressing people. Surah Saff 5

7. Abandoning of Hypocrites by Allah


 Whoever Allah abandons he is doomed to destruction.
 Hypocrites don’t utter truth – dumb
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Don’t see truth- blind
 Turn not to right path since the feel they are righteous, companions to
believers outwardly and to disbelievers inwardly

19. Or like abundant rain from the cloud in which is utter darkness and
thunder and lightning; they put their fingers into their ears because of the
thunder peal, for fear of death, and Allah encompasses the unbelievers.
Three types of darkness
1. Darkness of rain: density of cloud producing darkness
2. Darkness of the night(“lightening snatches their sight”) and
3. Darkness of the cloud- clound upon another causing darkness
Thunder and Lightning
There is darkness of night along with
1. The rainfall (the quran) and
2. Thunder (the Threat of the quran)
3. Lightening (Promise of the quran)
‫ص ىبو هع هق بح بذبر ٱ لمملبمم لمو ء ه‬

Thrust their fingers in the ears- metaphoric or not?
 Evidence to show this is not metaphoric as ans.
Argument :Not all fingers can enters the ear since word used here is
‫أب ى ب‬
“fingers” ‫صهببعمه لم‬
Ans. Fingers are plural and there are plurality of people hence not
metaphoric.
 Argument :Whole finger cannot enter the ear
Ans. The whole finger need to penetrate inside to enter it
 Two arguments – shows metaphorism- INCORRECT.
There is not metaphor originally in QURAN?
The end
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353

Lesson 7
Metaphors in Quran- does not occur
 The verses of quran are understood with its context
 Thunder clap originating from lightening and burns the one it strikes.
 It false on houses and destroys them-firemass moves fast and intensely
 For fear of death –thrust putting finger into ears
‫ص ىبو هع هق بح بذبر ٱ لمملبمم لمو ء ه‬
‫ت‬ ‫مممليمممماَ بذاَ هن هه م مملمبنممم ٱل ت‬
‫ممممممبء‬
‫هف‬ ‫بي لممجبعممملمممو بن أب ى ب‬
‫ص هب بع مه لم‬
Thrust their fingers in the ears.
Explanation
 Not seeing the danger does not mean we are saved- as they are doing
 Muheet- One who encompasses.

‫ضابء بلمهم تمبشلوواَ هفيهه بوإهبذآ أبلظلببم بعلبليهه لم بقامموءواَ بولبلو بشابء ٱتلم لببذبه ب‬
‫ب هببسلمهعهه لم‬ ‫صبرمه نلم مكلتبما أب ب‬ ‫بيبكامد ٱللببلرمق بيلخبط م‬
‫ف أبلب ى ب‬
٢٠ ‫ل بعبلىى مكلل بشليءء بقهديةر‬ ‫بوأبلب ى ب‬
‫صهرهه ءلم إهتن ٱ ت ب‬
20. The lightning almost takes away their sight; whenever it shines on them
they walk in it, and when it becomes dark to them they stand still; and if Allah
had pleased He would certainly have taken away their hearing and their sight;
surely Allah has power over all things.

‫بي لمممخبطممممم م‬
‫ف‬ take away
 When the light occurs they walk, when there is darkness they stand still
 Allah is able to take away their hearing and sight without lightening
 This example applies to the hypocrites who didn’t believe originally like
the Jews
 Some hypocrites were from Arabs – aws and Khazraj
 Jews never had faith, pretended Islam – were originally on kufur- feared
Prophet ‫ﷺ‬after victory of Ramadan
 The example of those who kindled a fire and turned away – those who
were Arabs.

4. And when you see them, their persons will please you, and If they speak,
you will listen to their speech; (they are) as if they were big pieces of
wood clad with garments; they think every cry to be against them. They
are the enemy, therefore beware of them; may Allah destroy them,
whence are they turned back? Surah Munafiqoon 63:4
 The light is that of islam it only flashes and faith did not enter their
hearts of people and only saw the light to be of benefit and hence they
took it up.
Type of Hypocrites
There are two types of Hypocrites
Jew Hypocrites Arab Hypocrites
Had faith and later forsook it Never had faith only pretended islam
to benefit from its dominance
Example of fire kindled in first Example of them who thrust their
example is surah baqarah fingers upon thunder and lightening

3. That is because they believe, then
disbelieve, so a seal is set upon their
hearts so that they do not
understand.

Faith did not truly enter heart but Only saw power and authority of
only superficially Islam
Overcome by pride and racisms as Overcome by fear of Loss of power
prophet ‫ﷺ‬came from Arabs over Medina and establishment of
islam after the migration of the
Prophet ‫ﷺ‬

164. Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the
alternation of the night and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that
which profits men, and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud, then
gives life with it to the earth after its death and spreads in it all (kinds of)
animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made subservient
between the heaven and the earth, there are signs for a people who
understand. Surah baqarah 2:164
The samaa’ or sky has two meanings
1. Roof above us – structure on top of us

22. Who made the earth a resting place for you and the heaven a canopy and
(Who) sends down rain from the cloud then brings forth with it subsistence
for you of the fruits; therefore do not set up rivals to Allah while you know.

 Niddan- rivals or equals


 There is no eual in creation, provision, sustenance – so do not worship
others or join partners
 Elements of Lordship- Creation, Sustenance and Provisions
 Pagans attest ruboobiyyah of allah but associate in worship of Allah-
could not accept One Lord

٥ ‫حددناَ إهتن ىبهبذاَ لببشليلء معبجاةب‬
5. What! makes he the gods a single Allah? A strange thing is this, to be sure!
Surah Sad 38:5
The scholars said that
1. Tawheed ul ulohhiyyah mutadaminnun tawheed ruboobiyyah
tawheed ulohoyyah contains or encompasse tawheed ruboobiyyah
singling Allah in worship comprises singling Him alone in creations
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
2. Singling alone in Lordship entails singling Him alone in divinity
 If alone is the only lord, then it is incumbent upon man to worship Him
alone
 Anyone attaches to His divinity then he is net really attaching to it
until-----
 Lordship is in divinity

Benefits of the verses

of allah
Sky encompasses earth from all sides
Surah dhariya
3. Making clear descent of rain from clouds none can even create a drop of
rain
Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬supplicated for rain and the rain descended dripping from his
beard
4. Wisdom and mercy of sending rain

and mountains.
 Had it not been dropwise it would cause harm to the people
5. Produce of herbage from rain
 Provision is given of from the rain which help cultivation grow.
 Roan brought forth fruits and this is the will of allah
6. Anyone who wants add something to his cause let him add it to Allah

“Allah saved me through so and so person.”
 Allah saved me and then so and so
 Impermissible to say – “ Allah saved me and so and so”
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353

A Jewish boy accepted Islam was dying, during his deathbed. He


consulted his father and he say, “Obey the Prophet ‫ “ ﷺ‬the prophet ‫ﷺ‬
said, “ All praise is to Allah the one who saved him through me from fire
of hell.”

7. The ruling of verse shows the influence of causes:


 One who denies the influence of causes then he is opposing
obvious to sensible mind
 The one who takes the causes as means in and of itself has
associated to Allah.
 The one who affirms and their influences but falling under the will
of Allah- on truth and agreement with reality- correct opinion of
scholars –
 Example: fire if it burns paper , burning took place by fire at this
paper not due to the fire but by command of Allah. Allah created
the burning of fire.
 Evidence- Ibrahim was thrown into fire Allah commanded
“Be cool and comfort to Ibrahim”

63. Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the cloud so the earth
becomes green? Surely Allah is Benignant, Aware. Surah Hajj 22:63

consensus of scholars and intellect.
 Sunnah mentions through statement implication and attestation
 Scholars and the imams- entire Ummah who remained on pure
inclination.

353
 Allah is not inside the world nor outside the world – philosophical
statements were denied
 Intellect- transcendence is attribute of perfection – all attributes of
perfection are affirmed for allah; every person is created on natural
inclination is above everything in himself, even though one is unread he
still raises his hands for dua.
 One of the famous scholars who used to hold to the opinion that Allah
is not above his throne, Abal ma’ali al juwainee
 His student told him when we call we are raising our hand, so Juwaini
said “al hamdani perplexed me.”
 Leaders who held this repented and returned from their scholastic
thought.
“I spent my life between I say, you say they say I wish I die on the creed
of the old ladies of naisaboor (affirmed pure fitrah that Allah is above
creation.”
 Imam Ghazaali spent most of his life in philosophy then renounced it
and before died resolved to studying the hadeeth.
 The consensus of the righteous predecessors from companions and
their successors.
b. Quality / attributes
Transcendence in attributes
١‫مممبممممبرمم لب بك ٱ لمملبلعممبلممممممى‬

guard against the fire of which men and stones are the fuel; it is

 “ you cannot get away by brining the like of quran, but by only accepting
the Prophethood and believing in Allah
Fuel of Fire in hereafter- men and stones ;
Stones:

world; based on this verse
٩٨ ‫ب بج به متنبمممم بأن مت لم بل‬
‫مممممبهمماممم ىبو هر مد و بن‬ ‫ص م‬ ‫ممنممم مد و هن ٱممم بمح ت ه‬
‫مممم ب‬

and throw it in hell complete humiliation- their gods are burnt with
them
2. Hell-exist at present ‫أ أرعددلت لرللكنكفرررينن‬

١٠٨
108. And as to those who are made happy, they shall be in the garden, abiding
in it as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please; a
gift which shall never be cut off.
Surah Hud 12:106-108
Torment originates from Justice of Allah- complete and absolute authority- so
Allah mentions that he will do as He wills when speaking of hell fire

 Fire is abode for disbelievers


 Disobedient believers will NOT dwell forever – not abode- He will
punish them as long as He wishes- the disobedient will be taken out
with intercession, penance or grace of Allah.
 Those who have suffered in this life will not suffer in here-after.
 The challenge is open till judgement and he who opposes it till then will
be in hell-fire
 Day of judgement -The never points to an end point till Day of
Judgement
 Power of the verse; eloquence- most recited book- may finish it in 3 or 4
days without boredom.
Are speeches of there in Quran miraculous?
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Allah informed us of His prophets, Messengers, who informed of certain
sayings including the sayings of Tyrants

 It was a custom of messenger to give glad tidings
Is it permissible to give gladding’s of occasions?
 When Ramadan comes and one gives glad tidings then it is permissible,
making dua for a blessed occasion and acceptation of worship

 Paradise and glad tidings is for one who believes and does righteous
deeds

2. What is the criteria for entering paradise?


Quran mentions four criteria for entering paradise
1. Faith
2. Righteous deeds
3. Commanding each other of good
4. Perseverance
 The main criteria for entering paradise is faith and righteous deeds;
exhorting each other to good and perseverance are also parts of
righteous deeds
 Sometime a single deed which constitute the general deeds are mention
due to reason
3. Reward of believers is far more greater than their actions
 Reward never ends- paradise is eternal abode. The believer may have
deficiency in his action like laziness but jazaa of Allah is prefect and
endless
4. Mischief and corrupt deeds are like a mockery of Allah and its
effect never leaves a person in here-after
 Praying without wudu and najas is like mocking Allaah

and its utensils and whatever therein (will be of gold), and there will be
nothing to prevent the people from seeing their Lord except the Cover of
Majesty over His Face in the Paradise of Eden (eternal bliss).
: Sahih al-Bukhari 7444

Paradise of types like milk, honey and wine are created for other reasons
unlike those on earth
Rivers in this world flow on paths which we know- no boundaries man diresct

26. Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable-- (that of) a gnat or
any thing above that; then as for those who believe, they know that it is the
truth from their Lord, and as for those who disbelieve, they say: What is it that
Allah means by this parable: He causes many to err by it and many He leads
aright by it! but He does not cause to err by it (any) except the transgressors,
surah 2:26

Explanation

‫ضهة نفنما نفلونقنهاا‬


‫ب نمنثهل دما نبأعو ن‬ ‫إردن ٱ د ن‬
‫ل نل نيلسنتلحيرۦۦ نأن ني ل‬
‫ضرر ن‬
 Allah is not ashamed of giving parables even though it is looked upon as
despicable or low as long as the truth is affirmed- objective is to affirm
the truth. The parables which Allah set contain lessons and wisdom for
benefit of mankind
 Mosquito – a parable set to express, how things could be so insignificant
or lowly or minute
Reason for revelation
 The pagans objected to as to how come Allah sets parables with the fly
to establish evidence?
َ‫لممممن بي لممخملمممممقموممموا‬ ‫ل‬ ‫مممممممٱ مملسمممبتممممم هممممعمممو واَ بل مهءلۥ إه تن ٱ لت هذ ي بن بت لممد مممعوممممبن هم‬

‫مممسملم مملبمممهممممممٱممل دذ بب ا م‬
‫ب ممليبم‬
73. O people! a parable is set forth, therefore listen to it: surely those whom
you call upon besides Allah cannot create fly, though they should all gather for
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
it, and should the fly snatch away anything from them, they could not take it
back from i weak are the invoker and the invoked. Surah hajj 22:73
 So verse was revealed
‫نفنما نفلونقنهاا‬
 This shows the extent of setting parables or could be higher than
mosquito like fly.
 Here it means less when it is smaller ‫ ;نفلونقنهاا‬though the term could be
something low or high
 ‫ نفلونقنهاا‬could refer to low or higher as ‫بو برآ بء مه م‬which could mean both
front or behind
‫أب‬
‫ممممممممهعيممممبب بها بو بك ابوبنبرآ بء مه م‬ ‫سهكممممي بن بي لممعبمممملمممو بن ممهفيممم ٱ لل بب لممحهرممبفممممأ ببر د د‬
‫ت أبلن‬ ‫أب تما ٱ مل تممسهفممممي بن مة ممبفبكمما بنلت له‬
‫ممممممبمممم ى بمم‬
79. As for the boat, it belonged to (some) poor men who worked on the river
and I wished that I should damage it, and there was behind them a king who
seized every boat by force.
What matters to Allah is the objective and not the lowness or highness
‫نفأ ندما ٱدلرذينن نءانمأنواا نفنيلعنلأمونن أندنأه ٱللنحمق رمن درشبره ةلم‬
 Believers have faith in the parable and in this are clear signs.
‫ممممفهممملنمممهممممم تمممنممم بي قم و مل أب دي مك لم مممم باَزممممبد لممتمهمم ىبهممم هذ هه لۦ إه ي ىبمدنءا بف‬
َ‫ممممأ بممتممما ٱ لت هذ ي بن بءاَ بم منو وا‬ ‫ب‬ ‫ممممممممموممبرممةةممم‬
‫مس‬ ‫بو إه بذاَ بما مأن هز بللت‬
124. And whenever a chapter is revealed, there are some of them who say:
Which of you has it strengthened in faith? Then as for those who believe, it
strengthens them in faith and they rejoice. Surah tawbah 124
‫نوأندما ٱدلرذينن نكنفأرواا نفنيأقوألونن نمانذا أننراند ٱدلأ ربكنهنذا نمنثهل‬
 Hypocrites of disbelievers only doubt parables; since they turned away
from their truth and Alalh describes them
١٣ ‫إه بذاَ مت لتممبلممىىمم بع لب لمميممههبءممماَ ىبي مت بنا بق ا بل مأب ى بممسهطممممي مرٱ لمم تلبوممممله ي بن‬
13. When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of
yore.

‫لمممبب للمم ممممممبراَممممممبع‬
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
14. Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
Surah muttaaffin 13-14
This makes clear the reason for coining parables because when revelation
comes to them they hold it as tales or fables of old

٢٦ ‫ضل م ربرهۦۦ إردل ٱللكنفرسرقينن‬


‫ضل م ربرهۦ نكرثيهرا نونيلهردي ربرهۦ نكرثيهراا نونما أي ر‬

Affirming Bashfulness to Allah


the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated: Allah is characterized by modesty,
and He is ashamed to turn away His servant empty-handed when he raises
them to Him. (Related by Muslim in his Sahih [authentic] Book of Hadith)
“Verily Allah is not shamed” indicates Allah’s bashfulness to that which
opposes this situation and that which requires it
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Being ashamed from falsehood is Perfect Attribute- Attribute of Allah
 Bashfulness is affirmed by Allah for Himself, believer must affirm it to.
 Allah speech – perfect truth, knowledge, good intent and clarity all
necessitates the acceptance of what He tells.
 Speech of Allah is unprecedented
٢٦ ‫ب بعلبليمك ةلم بوٱتلم بعهليلم بحهكيةم‬
‫ميهريمد ٱتلم لهميببليبن لبمك لم بوبيلههدبيمك لم مسبنبن ٱلتهذيبن همن بقلبلهمك لم بوبيمتو ب‬

‫ه‬
176. They ask you for a decision of the law. Say: Allah gives you a decision
concerning the person who has neither parents nor offspring; if a man dies
(and) he has no son and he has a sister, she shall have half of what he leaves,
and he shall be her heir she has no son; but if there be two (sisters), they shall
have two-thirds of what he leaves; and if there are brethren, men and women,
then the male shall have the like of the portion of two females; Allah makes
clear to you, lest you err; and Allah knows all things. 4
We should affirm the obvious meaning of attribute except if the authentic texts
bring a reason not to affirm to it
Bashfulness of Allah is not same as bashfulness of people- man is unable to
resist and finds himself humiliated, attribute of weakness with respect to man,
if happens inappropriately

١٤ ‫ض ىلبءل‬ ‫هبىببلههغههءۦ بوبما مدبعامء ٱللىبكهفهريبن إهتل هفي ب‬
14. To Him is due the true prayer; and those whom they pray to besides Allah
give them no answer, but (they are) like one who stretches forth his two hands
towards water that it may reach his mouth, but it will not reach it; and the
prayer of the unbelievers is only in error. Surah raad 13:14
Parables or similitudes being closer to the meaning of a concept and the
wisdom

2. Mosquito is low and despicable creature


It gives no rest to itself- can destroy man
3. Allah uses parables to derive meanings which settle in minds
4. Affirmation of analogy or qiyas- analogy is proof, because every parable
set by allah is quran is proof of affirmation of analogy
Mercy of allah who establish parables and meaning settle in mind
5. Excellence of faith; believer does not really stand to object parables, but
only objects due to his own faulty reasoning or arrogance

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O Adam.'
Adam will reply, 'Labbaik wa Sa`daik', and all the good is in Your Hand.' Allah
will say: 'Bring out the people of the fire.' Adam will say: 'O Allah! How many
are the people of the Fire?' Allah will reply: 'From every one thousand, take
out nine-hundred-and ninety-nine.' At that time children will become hoary
headed, every pregnant female will have a miscarriage, and one will see
mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but dreadful will be the
Wrath of Allah." The companions of the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬asked, "O Allah's
Apostle! Who is that (excepted) one?" He said, "Rejoice with glad tidings; one
person will be from you and one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog." The
Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬further said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, hope that you
will be one-fourth of the people of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He
added, "I hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise." We
shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He said, "I hope that you will be half of the people of
Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He further said, "You (Muslims)
(compared with non Muslims) are like a black hair in the skin of a white ox or
like a white hair in the skin of a black ox (i.e. your number is very small as
compared with theirs). Sahih al-Bukhari 3348
 ‫ نكرثيهرا‬Many really does not mean numerous it could be few as well as
seen in the hadeeth – the number of beleivers is few
8. Guidance and Misguidance is from Allah
 Purification is not from man himself he does not do it is himself, it is
favour of Allah upon him
 Response to deviant sect who hold that man is independent of Allah and
has nothing to do with will of Allah.
 Allah does not mislead anyone except that he deserves misguidance

5. And when Musa said to his people: O my people! why do you give me
trouble? And you know indeed that I am Allah´s messenger to you; but
when they turned aside, Allah made their hearts turn aside, and Allah
does not guide the transgressing people. 61:5

27. Who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation and cut
asunder what Allah has ordered to be joined, and make mischief in the
land; these it is that are the losers.
 A covenant is taken from Allah for every man- Allah put that in their
fitrah or natural inclination that He alone deserves to be worshipped
 When messenger brings signs it is duty of people to beleiv
 Breaking covenant means to dissolve it after making it

12. And certainly Allah made a covenant with the children of Israel, and We
raised up among them twelve chieftains; and Allah said: Surely I am with you;
if you keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and believe in My messengers and
assist them and offer to Allah a goodly gift, I will most certainly cover your evil
deeds, and I will most certainly cause you to enter into gardens beneath which
rivers flow, but whoever disbelieves from among you after that, he indeed
shall lose the right way.

Narrated Zainab bint Jahsh:
That the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬once came to her in a state of fear and said, "None has
the right to be worshipped but Allah. Woe unto the Arabs from a danger that
has come near. An opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like
this," making a circle with his thumb and index finger. Zainab bint Jahsh said,
"O Allah's Messenger (‫ !)ﷺ‬Shall we be destroyed even though there are pious
persons among us?" He said, "Yes, when the evil person will increase." Sahih
al-Bukhari 3346
Evil can spread in many ways:
a) Evil from few becomes abundant and righteous do not stop it
b) Disbelievers become more on earth and their action are evil
Righteousness on earth is from qualities of good 0 just and uprightness

28. How do you deny Allah and you were dead and He gave you life? Again He
will cause you to die and again bring you to life, then you shall be brought back
to Him.
‫بت لممكفممممرممو بن‬

 Comes from kafara to cover or deny


 Use of questioning of denial
 Allah gives life after death and He created us when we were without life
in our mothers womb when soul was breathed into it
 It is to Allah we return and we should have consciousness of Him
Benefits of this verse
1. Strong disbelief when man is knowing of his condition of dependence
2. Man before soul is breathed into him is inanimate and is not considered
from living> If fetus comes out before soul is blown into it then there is
no ruling of living thing – no burial, no shrouding, no inheritance nor
other laws do not imply on him,
When is life breathed into fetus?

Narrated `Abdullah:
Allah's Messenger (‫)ﷺ‬, the true and truly inspired said, "(as regards your
creation), every one of you is collected in the womb of his mother for the first
forty days, and then he becomes a clot for another forty days, and then a piece
of flesh for another forty days. Then Allah sends an angel to write four items:
He writes his deeds, time of his death, means of his livelihood, and whether he
will be wretched or blessed (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into his
body. So a man may do deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire, so
much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then
what has been written (by the angel) surpasses, and so he starts doing deeds
characteristic of the people of Paradise and enters Paradise. Similarly, a person
may do deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise, so much so that there is
only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been
written (by the angel) surpasses, and he starts doing deeds of the people of
the (Hell) Fire and enters the (Hell) Fire." Sahih al-Bukhari 3332

3. Death can used to describe a thing without life or just lifelessness; need
not be preceded by life as Allah says

‫نوأكنأت لم أنلمكنوهتا نفأ نلحكنيأك ةلم‬


Inanimate things are also considered dead

32. They said: Glory be to Thee! we have no knowledge but that which Thou
hast taught us; surely Thou art the Knowing, the Wise.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Explanation
 Allah taught Adam the father of humanity; are they the things present
then or all thigns required for all humanity? They are things which
Adam needed
 Angel didn’t know the names; Allah intended to show that angels
cannot comprehend everything and that they miss certain things
whereby Adam excel them
 Allah challenges them, evident from the statement “if you are truthful” -

Benefits of verse
1. Making clear that Allah bestow certain knowledge on some of His
creature not known to others
2. Languages are restricted to what Allah told mind not experimental-
Allah taught us languages had it not been for Allah to teach languages
and mankind would not know of it.
 Originally they are restricted to what Allah taught then many developed
experimentally
3. Permissibility man to test in that which he claims to excel in
4. Permissibility to use strong challenging statements with intensity
5. Angels speak
6. Admittance by angels of not knowing except what Allah tells them; man
should learn his proper estimate and should not exceed and claim what
he does not know
7. Great glorification of angels of Allah; declaring him free from any
defect. Admitting his favor upon him
8. Affirming two names of the names of Allah, Al Aleem the All knowing
and Al Hakeem- All wise
Allah’s knowledge encompasses all His creations and their action
Allah’s Wisdom cannot fully be comprehended with our minds. Wisdom –
placing the thing in it proper place, pre ordinance of Allah ; legislation too is in
it’s proper place, and shariah
Nothing does Allah ordaind except that there is wisdom in it.
The universal decrees are praised could be known to us or unknown
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Al hakeem- One who posses judgement and authority- none can check after it
1. Legal Judgement
the judgment revealed to His messenger

50. Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance that they desire? And
who is better than Allah to judge for a people who are sure?

2. Universal judgement

80. Then when they despaired of him, they retired, conferring privately
together. The eldest of them said: Do you not know that your father took
from you a covenant in Allah´s name, and how you fell short of your duty
with respect to Yusuf before? Therefore I will by no means depart from this
land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the best
of the judges: surah Yusuf 12:80
Difference between legal and universal judgement- legal judgement is not
necessitated that it will be execute on the one regarding whom is ruled –
hence disobedience may occur-oppsition to legal jjudgdment
Universal judgment- none can escape effectual on all slaves and all
conditions

29. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those with him are firm of
heart against the unbelievers, compassionate among themselves; you
will see them bowing down, prostrating themselves, seeking grace from
Allah and pleasure; their marks are in their faces because of the effect of
prostration; that is their description in the Taurat and their description
in the Injeel; like as seed-produce that puts forth its sprout, then
strengthens it, so it becomes stout and stands firmly on its stem,
delighting the sowers that He may enrage the unbelievers on account of
them; Allah has promised those among them who believe and do good,
forgiveness and a great reward.

158. Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise. Surah Nisaa
4:158

Benefits of the verse 34


1. Excellence of Adam over angels
 Allah ordered angels to prostrate to Adam out of magnification
How could Allah order prostration if it is worship?

 This prostration is not of worship but of magnification . this prostration


is not that of worship because
a. Prostration of magnification
b. If Allah commands prostration to other than Him if it is Allah’s
command then it becomes worship to Allah since it is obedience and
not worship of the to one performed.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 If Allah command a forbidden thing, then obeying Him is worship
evidence
 Killing ones soul which Allah forbade unjustly; if done in compliance to
shariah it is obedience and worship- Allah commanded Ibrahim to kill
his son – Ibrahim obeying Allah is worship
‫مممسبتمممملكممببممبرمم‬

50. And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam; they made
obeisance but Iblis (did it not). He was of the jinn, so he transgressed the
commandment of his Lord. What! would you then take him and his offspring
for friends rather than Me, and they are your enemies? Evil is (this) change for
the unjust. Surah kahaf 18:50

How come iblees is not from angels yet the command address him?
He is included in the angels, he was with them worshipping like they did.
However he was overtaken by wickedness , when he was commanded to
prostrate he saw himself above rank of Adam.
2. Ruling are made on apparent
 Anyone who pretend to act from certain people he is from them
 Satan was not an gel not of their kind, since he was doing what they
were doing the address applied to him as well
 Those who accepted islam apparently were treated as Muslim based on
their apparent condition as Muslims
3. For the believers to be cautious from wicked concealment because satan
was overtaken bby wicked concealment until he was overtaken and he
returned to his original state of disbelief
Incumbent for one to free himself from disbelief-purify his heart
continuously
So that he is not affected

It narrated from Sahl ibn sa’ad that during one of expedition prophet
‫ﷺ‬encountered pagans and the two armies fought and then each of
them returned to army camps. Amongst the Muslim army them was a
man who would follow every single isolated pagan and strike him with
his sword. It was said oh Allah’s messenger none has fought
satisfactorily except so and so (this man). Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said, “ He is from
the dwellers of hell-fire.” Who amongst us will be in paradise if this man
is from the dwellers of hell-fire. A man from amongst them said, I will
follow him and accompany in his movements. The brave man got
wounded and wanted to die at once so he pressed his chest under the
spear killing himself. The man who saw this returned to the prophet ‫ﷺ‬
and said “I testify that you are the messenger of Allah ” the prophet ‫ﷺ‬
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
said, “A man may do what may seem to people as deeds of paradise but
he is the dweller of hell-fire and a man may do the deeds of hell-fire but
he is the dweller of paradise.”

Sahih Al Bukhari Vol. 5 hadeeth no 518

 Wickedness was concealed in this man’s heart


 None can be called as martyred
 Duty of every believer to purify lest his end is upon sin or disbelief
4. Iblis was qualified with all blameworthy disdain agisnst truth creature,
compliance and disbelief
5. Orostrating to other than Allah if commanded by Him is worship
o It is because satan disobeyed he was disbeliever
o Scholars deduced that One who abandon salah is disbeliever since
satan abandons prostration

children, and it is not in (the power of) an messenger to bring a sign except by
Allah´s permission; for every term there is an appointment. Surah ra’ad 13:38

 Eve is created from rib of Adam but rather his wife- Allah is quralified
with perfec wisdom in His decrees
 He allowed daughter of Adam to marry her brother
7. Allah may test his slaves forbidding them from something which they like
 Test of the tree- they had attachment and inclination to that tree
8. Forbiddance to approach something, means forbidding to act accordingly

from that (state) in which they were; and We said: Get forth, some of you being
the enemies of others, and there is for you in the earth an abode and a
provision for a time. Verse 36
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353

Explanation
Shaytan is derived from t ree possible roots
1. ‫ شاطا‬- to become angry
2. ‫ شطنن‬Or from shatana- to become distant or one far rewmoved from
mercy of Allah
‫بو قم لمملبنمما ٱ لممههبممم م‬
َ‫طمممو وا‬
All three is included- “ get you all down”
Enmity between all three and enjoyment for a while

Benefits of verse
1. Cautioning of slipping due to whispering of devil
2. Satan whispers to children of Adam- claims to them to be sincere
advisor that eating tree gives them everlasting abode
Makes the sin inferior and minutes in our eyes, asks us to do it and
repent from it later
Beautifies the sin

3. Satan is an open enemy to man

 Man cannot dwell even if he reaches other planets
6. Attaching action to the one caused it- causes have effects or
consequence the occurrence of these effects is by the will of Allah.
He made power of influence dwell in the cuases

‫بف أ ببز لت مه بما ٱ ل تش ليمم ىممبطمنمممم بع لن بها بف أ ب لممخبرممبجممممه بما هم تما بكا بنا هفي نهه‬
Opinions on causes and effects
1. First extreme-
 Exaggeration in causes Rendering them effective on their own without
will of Allah

2. Moderate position – correct position


 Allah has placed effects in the causes hence paper burne by fire since
Allah gave it power to burn.
٦٩ ‫قم لمملبنمما ىبي بنامر مكو هن ي بب م لم دردمماَممم بو بس ىلب دما بع لب ى لى إه لب ىبر هه ي بم‬
69. We said: O fire! be a comfort and peace to Ibrahim; surah ambiya 21;69
 Allah took the effect of burning from fire and coolness as an effect
 Allah puts in causes what makes them effective the effect which
manifest- he is capable to do so to place effect for different causes or
change their effects like in above verse.

3. Second extreme
 Neglected the causes
 “If paper is thrown in fire it is burnt upon the throwing not by the fire “
or glass bottle broke upon touching the floor not by the stone
12.Adam and eve were punished by losing paradise due to one single
disobedience-
 Those who do great sin have more chance of losing
paradise
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Greatest sin – shirk
 Sins except shirk can be forgiven by Allah- entirely

21. O you who believe! do not follow the footsteps of the Shaitan, and whoever
follows the footsteps of the Shaitan, then surely he bids the doing of indecency
and evil; and were it not for Allah´s grace upon you and His mercy, not one of
you would have ever been pure, but Allah purifies whom He pleases; and Allah
is Hearing, Knowing.
Surah noor 24:21
13. World is not ever lasting
 That which is not lasting ends quickly and it will not return
 Every day passing from son of adam distances him from this life and
takes him closer to hereafter
 Take the chance to do what brings us closer to Allah- we don’t know how
much time we have and it is only decreasing

23. They said: Our Lord! We have been unjust to ourselves, and if Thou forgive
us not, and have (not) mercy on us, we shall certainly be of the losers.

Four parts of legal tawassul


1. Allah’s Lordship Allowance of Seeking nearness by His lordship ‫بر تب بنا‬
2. Condition or situation of the slave - the condition here is on sinfulness
and wronging oneself
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
‫ممبلبظمممم لمممبنممامم أب ن ممفمبسمممبنا‬
3. Assigning matter to Allah
‫بو إه ن لت لم بتمممملغمممفهمملرمم بل‬
‫ممممممبنممامم‬
4. Mentioning affair of slave in absence of mercy and forgiveness
‫بل بن مكو بن تن ممهمبنمممٱ للمم ىممبخهسممممهر ي بن‬

 Condition is before dua that one wronged himself and after the
dua on the condition of one without forgiveness
Types of Mercy- general and particular
a. General mercy- all creation life and needs are provided by Allah lthe
disbelievers –object of mercy like life, physical needs, provisions, etc

the believers. Surah ahzab

Allah is merciful to believer s alone in the here-after

 The denote impact or ruling- transitive

and to Him you shall be turned back.
Ankaboot 29:21
5. Allah speaks with heard voice
 Receiving of words cannot be except through hearing of voice
6. Favour of Allah upon Adam by forgiving him

Twofold favours
a. Guiding the slave to repentance :Success to the believer to seek
repentance; guiding him to it
b. Acceptance of Repentance ‫بع بل ليممهه‬ ‫ب‬‫بف بت ا ب‬

118. And to the three who were left behind, until the earth became strait to
them notwithstanding its spaciousness and their souls were also straitened to
them; and they knew it for certain that there was no refuge from Allah but in
Him; then He turned to them (mercifully) that they might turn (to Him); surely
Allah is the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful. Surah taubah

deeds, and I will most certainly cause you to enter into gardens beneath which
rivers flow, but whoever disbelieves from among you after that, he indeed
shall lose the right way.

6. Fear of Allah is worship
 Fearing Allah- Commanded us to be sincere in it- “Fear Me alone”
impermissible to fear other than Allah.
 Fear of worldly danger or natural things – not opposition of tawheed—
guest of Ibrahim did eat food he feared them- permissible ; Musa feared
the supposed snakes of magicians.
 Fear that prevents him obligations on him- should not indulge in such
fear; except if in sha’riah which forgives him in such state.

41. And believe in what I have revealed, verifying that which is with you, and
be not the first to deny it, neither take a mean price in exchange for My
communications; and Me, Me alone should you fear.
Explanation
 Allah is addressing Jews and Christians to belief in Quran.
 Attestation of Quran
a) Confirming the previous scriptures
b) Descriptions of Quran
c) Torah and Injeel – True revelations from Allah.
Descriptions of Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬was mentioned in their books- they could know
him as theor children
‫بوبل بتمكومنلوواَ أبتوبل بكاهفمهر هبههۦ‬
 No befitting of you for you to disbelieve when you know
 Pagans had already disbelieved; Jews and Christians did not believe
even when they had a book given prophesying the coming of Prophet ‫ﷺ‬
‫بوبل بت ل‬
‫مممشبتمممممرممو واَ ‍هبب ا ىبي هت ي بث بم دنا ممبقهلمميدل‬
 Do not seek prestige leadership and the like by using the scriptures ;
selling it
 Jews and Christians- cause of disbelief – preference of lowly life, envy of
prophet favoring leadership .
‫بو إه ىتي بي بفٱ تت قم و هن‬
 Taking measure of punishment by fulfilling His obligations and
abstaining from His prohibitions -Taqwa
 Earlier command to adhere to shariah and not to disobey -fear
disobeying it
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 This verse commands both to adhere to sha’riah and not oppose it
neither in command and nor in prohibition.
 Obligation of having taqwa- other verses command for fearing like fear
punishment, hell-fire and wrath – fearing them is same as having taqwa
of Allah.

Benefits of the verse


1. It is incumbent upon children of Israel to believe in Quran
2. Kaafir is addressed with islam- Is he addressed to comply with
details of Islam; should he be invited to perform salah, zakah, saum?
Ans. He is not addressed to comply with details until he believes. So
he can only be informed of the details of Islam to convey the message
Evidence – hadeeth of Muadh Ibn jabal sent to Yemen.
Muadh was commanded to the accept islam and after that salah and
sequence

Will they be punished for not praying and following details?

 Surah 74
 Had they not been responsible for islam, they would not have
been asked and punished for it
3. Those who buy allah’s words for price- resemble jew
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Those who seek religious knowledge for worldly fame-
resembles Jews.
Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said, “one who seek s knowledge for a worldly gain
will not smell the scent of paradise.”

Is gaining a degree in Islamic sciences one equal to those who buys Allah
verses?

This depends on intentions if he does it for prestige , status and job then this
applies to him. If he acquires a degree to benefit the Muslims, do dawah seek
reward for knowledge then he will not be those addressed in this verse, he will
be rewarded.

4. Legislation of Allah are from His verses because of Justice and


benefits, they are qualified with, contrary to man-made laws.
 Man’s knowledge is deficient, incomprehensive of all which

vice- versa.
 The most smartest of law maker- knowledge is limited to his

 Jews promised to side and defend the awaiting prophet, but

 Belief in the last day alone is not sufficient , belief in
Prophethood of prophet ‫ ﷺ‬is required.

Explanation of verse

“don’t conceal the truth with falsehood while you know the truth.

Benefits of Verse

they pretend to remove it
a. If doubts are not close it should not be brought forth- Satan can
influence causing the doubt to settle in hearts.

iniquitous a fire, the curtains of which shall encompass them about; and
if they cry for water, they shall be given water like molten brass which
will scald their faces; evil the drink and ill the resting-place.
Surah kahf
b. Muba or allowable exists- it should be means to something else-
mubah leading to misguidance or error is haram.

4. Forbiddance to conceal truth:


Concealment takes place after request of truth
a. Request made in statement- person asking about a person
b. Request on status quo – condition of person in error or
misguidance- incumbent to clarify the wrongdoing and not wait
until he is asked. If person doing is not knowing – not
accountable; if the person is asked and doesn’t answer if he does
not know; 17:23 don’t say that which you have no knowledge of
Conditions for concealment of knowledge
1) Benefit in not clarifying- no harm in concealment as Ali said,”
converse with people in that which they know, would you like
that they belie Allah and His messenger”
Ibn Mas’ood said, “ you wouldn’t speak o some people concerning
something their minds comprehend except it would be an
affliction to some of them.” Would you like

2) Test or trial – a person coming to put us to trial, extract


information or place us into jeopardy; a person who assert a
fatwa wrongfully from a layman or should be concealed; should
incumbent if he really wants to know.

Narrated Abu Wail:
Someone said to Usama, "Will you not talk to this (Uthman)?" Usama said, "I
talked to him (secretly) without being the first man to open an evil door. I will
never tell a ruler who rules over two men or more that he is good after I heard
Allah's Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬saying, 'A man will be brought and put in Hell (Fire) and
he will circumambulate (go around and round) in Hell (Fire) like a donkey of a
(flour) grinding mill, and all the people of Hell (Fire) will gather around him
and will say to him, O so-and-so! Didn't you use to order others for good and
forbid them from evil?' That man will say, 'I used to order others to do good
but I myself never used to do it, and I used to forbid others from evil while I
myself used to do evil.' " Sahih al-Bukhari 7098
Should we stop commanding good or forbiddin evil-
He should do what he commands and stop what he forbids- if he stops
commanding and continues sinning then he is two-fold in sin(abandoning the
commanding of evil and continuing to sin or abandoning the forbidding of evil
and leaving the commandments himself)
If one waits till he is sinless- none can enjoin commandments nor forbid evil
Strive to adhere to commandments and enjoin it;leave the evil and stop the
evil

Knowledgeable not practicing and ignorant


 Scolding the Scholar who does an opposition to that which he
commands worse than the ignorant
 Knowledge and not acting upon it or being endowed with knowledge
and not implementing- more sinful
 People blam the knowledge erring person more than ignorant

Rebuke to Children of Israel—“Have they no sense”


Anyone from this Ummah enjoins good not implementing it and does not
forbids himself from evil= like Jews

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who
said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,
“Every joint of a person must perform a charity each day that the sun rises: to
judge justly between two people is a charity. To help a man with his mount,
lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings onto it, is a charity. And the
good word is a charity. And every step that you take towards the prayer is a
charity, and removing a harmful object from the road is a charity.” [Al-
Bukhari] [Muslim]
 Asking help from those who cannot- foolishness or even shirk if
he is dead or unreachable

Types of Patience
1. Patience on acts of Obedience to Allah sabru alal taa’atil Allah
2. Patience to keep away from abstaining from disobedience of Allah
3. Patience on Qadar or Pre-decree.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353

1. Patience on acts of obedience of Allah

 Most difficult and superior.


 Comprises of two things Actions and hold the actions—act on
the acts of obedience and to hold oneself from laxing or leaving
these acts
 Patience on obedience is better than rest
2. Patience to keep away from abstaining from disobedience of Allah
Requires only restraint from actions
 Sometimes very difficult  prophet considered that young
man who was invited by beautiful women or status to do
zina and replied “ innee akhafu Allah” is same as just ruler
 Just ruler maybe better; the severity of holding away from
zina with a beautiful women of rank is more virtuous.
 Patience on abstaining from haram is better that repelling
pre decree of Allah since he has no choice.
 Individual cases may differe from person to situation- a
person may find loosing a loved one more difficult to bear
than performing acts of worship.
3. Patience in pre decree of Allah
 The pre destined is bound to happen- complaining does not help
 Either be patient like the honorable ones or forget like animals – salaf
 Incitement of patience
 If man is patient- attains goals if he gets bored

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
"The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said: 'The strong believer is better and more
beloved to Allah than the weak believer, although both are good. Strive for that
which will benefit you, seek the help of Allah, and do not feel helpless. If
anything befalls you, do not say, "if only I had done such and such" rather say
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
"Qaddara Allahu wa ma sha'a fa'ala (Allah has decreed and whatever he wills,
He does)." For (saying) 'If' opens (the door) to the deeds of Satan.'" Sunan ibn
Ma’ja Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith
Sahih (Darussalam)

 Strife is important; one who lacks feels abandons in trying again –


time passes aimlessly
 Persevering knowing that nothing is between him and his goal
except some extra work- rewarded and benefitted
 Time utilized in starting something is in loss if patience on
hardwork is not conitued even if it seem bored and helpless

4. Merit of Salah

 Means of seeking help in matters of life


 Prophet would take to prayer in difficult moments-seeking Allah’s help
 How could salah be helpful to man- if the person with conducted in
correct and complete way
 Presence of heart, pillars and obligations benefits of Salah in truth
 Lack of concentration, worldly concerns in salah- loss of spirit of salah
 True salah- person feels Allah is front of him; worship should be utilized
to forget every worry and resolve every problem- most connected to the
most beloved , Allah

47. O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and
that I made you excel the nations.

Explanation

Surah A’raaf 7:128

 Moosa said the pious will inherit the land ; children of Israel don’t
deserve the holy land of Israel – “laisoo min ibadiAllah saliheen
“not from pious people”
 During the time of Moses the children of Israel were more
deserving than the others.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Palestine = people should be Muslims and deserve it for their
Islam, not for being their Arabs.
 “Arabs will never succeed as I believe as they believe and Allah
knows best never succeed under banner of Arabism will never
return it except by name of islam, except the islam upon which the
prophet and his companions were upon as allah made it
clear(7:128)”
 “ No matter what Arabs exert from efforts, no matter how they fill
the world from sayings and protests they will never succeed until
they proclaim for evacuation of Jews, from t by the name of Islam
but after they apply it to themselves first if they do that then what
the prophet informed of shall take place when he said the hour
will not be established until the Muslims fight the Jews and
Muslims will kill them until the Jew will hide behind the stone tree
then the stone or tree until the stone will say “O salve of Allah Jew
is behind me come and kill him” Sahih Bukhari
 They will be called in the name of Islam as slave of Islam he didn’t
say or Arab but he said oh Muslim (in the hadeeth)
 “Jews will never finish in the names of Arabism or any ethnic
banner, but in the name of Islam whoever wishes let him read
21:105 “
Oppression of Jews
 Allah will deal with them Justly mischief, disdain and oppression- will
pay in this world and here-after
 Anything dependent upon description will exist on that description and
negated by negation of description
 If we are truly righteous slaves of Allah we will inherit the land easily
and without all of difficulties or troubles, we will take it by victory of
Allah and assignment of Allah
 Muslims never really possed Palestine during the prevailing times of
Islam in the past except with islam, never took capital of Persians, nor
romans nor Coptic in Egypt except with Islam.
 Victory comes from true isla
Battle of qadisiyyah
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Campainng Saad ibn abee waqqas in Iraq, Persians resorted to
demolishing bridge and sinking ships to prevent Muslim crossing the
Euphrates Allah made the river subservient to Muslims, the Muslim
armies walked on surface of water with their camels , horses, infantry
just like walking on earth the water not covering them nor their horses.
When the horse would get tired Allah would bring a rock and it would
sit on it and rest.
 Red sea parted for children of Israel to rescue them from pharoah
 Children of Israel lost their Islam, Allah transformed them to pigs and
monks

have fought one with another after clear arguments had come to them, but

When Allah revealed the Verse: "Warn your nearest kinsmen," Allah's
Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬got up and said, "O people of Quraish (or said similar words)!
Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the Hellfire) as I cannot save you from Allah's
Punishment; O Bani `Abd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment, O
Safiya, the Aunt of Allah's Messenger (‫ !)ﷺ‬I cannot save you from Allah's
Punishment; O Fatima bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but
I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment." Sahih al-Bukhari 2753

those who have faith in their hearts, equal to the weight of a barley
grain.' I will go and do so and return to praise Him with the same
praises, and fall down (prostrate) before Him. Then it will be said, 'O
Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to,
and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for
your intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers!
My followers!' It will be said, 'Go and take out of it all those who have
faith in their hearts equal to the weight of a small ant or a mustard
seed.' I will go and do so and return to praise Him with the same
praises, and fall down in prostration before Him. It will be said, 'O,
Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to,
and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for
your intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers!'
Then He will say, 'Go and take out (all those) in whose hearts there is
faith even to the lightest, lightest mustard seed. (Take them) out of
the Fire.' I will go and do so."' When we left Anas, I said to some of my
companions, "Let's pass by Al-Hasan who is hiding himself in the
house of Abi Khalifa and request him to tell us what Anas bin Malik
has told us." So we went to him and we greeted him and he admitted
us. We said to him, "O Abu Sa`id! We came to you from your brother
Anas Bin Malik and he related to us a Hadith about the intercession
the like of which I have never heard." He said, "What is that?" Then
we told him of the Hadith and said, "He stopped at this point (of the
Hadith)." He said, "What then?" We said, "He did not add anything to
that." He said, Anas related the Hadith to me twenty years ago when
he was a young fellow. I don't know whether he forgot or if he did not
like to let you depend on what he might have said." We said, "O Abu
Sa`id ! Let us know that." He smiled and said, "Man was created hasty.
I did not mention that, but that I wanted to inform you of it. Anas told
me the same as he told you and said that the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬added, 'I
then return for a fourth time and praise Him similarly and prostrate
before Him me the same as he 'O Muhammad, raise your head and
speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted
(your request): and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted .'
I will say, 'O Lord, allow me to intercede for whoever said, 'None has

the right to be worshiped except Allah.' Then Allah will say, 'By my
Power, and my Majesty, and by My Supremacy, and by My Greatness, I
will take out of Hell (Fire) whoever said: 'None has the right to be
worshipped except Allah.

2) Deliverance from enemy is great favor from Allah bestowed
3) Making clear enmity of pharoah’s people against the children of Israel
 Such killing came after sending of moosa aslaihisalam
 Moosa had clear signs and pharoah rejected these signs

127. And the chiefs of Firon´s people said: Do you leave Musa and his people to
make mischief in the land and to forsake you and your gods? He said: We will
slay their sons and spare their women, and surely we are masters over them.
Surah A’raaf 7:127

Opinion of punishment coming before moosa birth


 Some historians claim the killing took place before Moosa was born
 Priests mentioned to pharoah that a child will be born wo will destroy
him and [pharaoh took to killing

Evidence for killing was before birth of Moosa


Suckle him and when ye fear caste him into the river Qasas

No explicit evidence from this verse as fear could be general

have come to us. He said: It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy
and make you rulers in the land, then He will see how you act.
Surah A’raaf 129
 No explicit proof does not indicate killing of sons but general suffering
 Killing of sons and saving of women- only mentioned after moosa was
sent to them
 Moosa asks them to be patient after the trials of killings has been
decreed ; when the messaged was proclaimed and rejected by pharoah
and his people.

ships, and they sail on with them in a pleasant breeze, and they rejoice, a
violent wind overtakes them and the billows surge in on them from all sides,
and they become certain that they are encompassed about, they pray to Allah,
being sincere to Him in obedience: If Thou dost deliver us from this, we will
most certainly be of the grateful ones. Yunus 22

Benefits of this verse


1. Harmony of this verse with revious verses- after allah
nentions oppresiion of pharoah’s people upon children of
Israel- mentions consequences of such oppressions-
dorwned the oppressors and saved the oppressed
2. Reminding children of israael of favour of Allah- reminder
including attaining their deliverance, safety and removing
harm by destruction of their enemies.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
3. Water flowing was commanded by Allah to separated into a
path parting way for the children of Israel- each part like a
great mountain
Path made by Allah- dry instantly for them to pass

And we revealed to moosa saying travel by night with my


slaves and strike a dry path for them in sea fearing nor to be
ovetakn by firamw nor drowining
Taha
Wholes in the seas- the children of Israel looked through them at each other
Ibn katheer in bidyah and nihayah – “there was no sign in nations before of
the prophets given to their nation except that that our messenger was given

Abu Yahya Suhaib bin Sinan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported
that:
The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "How wonderful is the case of a believer;
there is good for him in everything and this applies only to a believer. If
prosperity attends him, he expresses gratitude to Allah and that is good for
him; and if adversity befalls him, he endures it patiently and that is better for
him".

٣٩ ‫بما بخلبلقىبنمهبما إهتل هبٱللبحلق بو ىلبهكتن أبلكبثبرمه لم بل بيلعبلمموبن‬
39. We did not create them both but with the truth, but most
of them do not know.
Surah Dukhan
Wisdom behind Allah’s actions, decrees, and commands
maybe hidden from us –because of our finite intellect or our
carelessness for not pondering
9. Tests from Allah vary in difficulty
Some tests are easy and other momentous – all necessitated
by His wisdom
Less patient and thankful- tested easily in accordance with
their patience
Strong in faith, patience and gratitude- strong trials and
tests

Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrated from his father that a man


said:
"O Messenger of Allah(s.a.w)! Which of the people is tried
most severely?" He said: "The Prophets, then those nearest
to them, then those nearest to them. A man is tried
according to his religion; if he is firm in his religion, then his
trials are more severe, and if he is frail in his religion, then
he is tried according to the strength of his religion. The
servant shall continue to be tried until he is left walking
upon the earth without any sins." Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2398
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
‫صل ا ك‬
‫ب‬ ‫ م‬- firm opp. ‫ – هرتقلة‬feeble weak
‫بي وب بر مح‬- continues
10. Fear of enemy and delusion from religion

 Muslims do not believe that Allah will defeat the


enemy only if Muslims adhere to Islam and obey His
messenger
 Muslims have lost all hopes and tawwakkul in Allah.
 Children of Isreal, people of Ad- taken by wind, people
of saleh by earthquake- if we are really truthful then
Allah gives us victory agisnst the enemy.

Address to children of Isreal


TorahCriterion and Scripture

Types of Distinctions:

1. Essence
e.g
١ ‫ت بوٱلدنونبر مثتم ٱلتهذيبن بكبفمروواَ هببرلبهه لم بيلعهدلوبن‬
‫م‬ ‫ت بوٱللبلر ب‬
‫ض بوبجبعبل ٱلدظلمىبم ه‬ ‫ٱللبحلممد ه ت ه‬
‫ل ٱلتهذي بخلببق ٱلتسىبمىبو ه‬
1. All praise is due to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth
and made the darkness and the light; yet those who disbelieve set
up equals with their Lord. Surah anaam 6:1
Heaven ans earth essences

2. Attributes
١‫مممبممممبرمم لب بك ٱ لمملبلعممبلممممممى‬

٢ ‫ٱلتهذي بخبلبق بفبستوىى‬
٣ ‫بوٱلتهذي بقتدبر بفبهبدىى‬
٤ ‫بوٱلتهذلي أبلخبربج ٱللبملربعىى‬
1. Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,

3. And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their
goal),
4. And Who brings forth herbage,
‫بوإهلذ بءاَبتليبنا مموبسى ٱللهكىبت ب‬
3. Essence and Attribute: ‫ب بوٱللفملربقابن‬
Benefits of the Verse:

a. Descending of books is of greatest favors to mankind


Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
b. Moosa is prophet and Messenger.
c. Excellence of Torah: furqan, Torah and Quran –
greatest of revealed books
‫ل مهبو أبلهبدىى هملنمهبما أبتتهبلعمه هإن مكنمت لم ى ب‬
٤٩ ‫صهدهقيبن‬ ‫قملل بفلأمتوواَ هبهكىبت ء‬
‫ب لملن هعنهد ٱ ت ه‬
49. Say: Then bring some (other) book from Allah
which is a better guide than both of them, (that) I
may follow it, if you are truthful. Surah Qasas 28:49

Torah as criterion for judging in between the Jews:


44. Surely We revealed the Taurat in which was
guidance and light; with it the prophets who
submitted themselves (to Allah) judged (matters)
for those who were Jews, and the masters of Divine
knowledge and the doctors, because they were
required to guard (part) of the Book of Allah, and
they were witnesses thereof; therefore fear not the
people and fear Me, and do not take a small price for
My communications; and whoever did not judge by
what Allah revealed, those are they that are the
unbelievers.

d. Makes clear transgression of children of Israel


 Excessive disobedience
 Torah necessitates belief and obedience
e. Allah revealed and sent down as guidance
f. Seeking guidance in revealed books
 Not philosophy, scholasticism, and other
systems of life.
 Make revelation clear to people –no way to
guidance except revelation.
g. Affirming the causes: ithbaat ul asbaab
h. Giving 2 types of giving:
i. Universal: Allah gives worldly materialistic things to
people even disbelievers like Qaarun
j. Legal: revelation to Moosa

reminder “oh my people” to gather them in close, appealing good advice for
them, clemency.

‫إه تن مك لم ممممم بظلمممملممممتمم لممم أب‬


‫مممممنممفمممبسمممكمممممم‬
You deprived yourself- dhul  means defect and non completion

= Naqastum anfusakum haqqaha – you didn’t give from yourself what it
really deserves
‫هبٱلتبخاهذمكمم ٱللهعلجبل‬
By taking calf as idol for worship- did not give Allah His due right
Ingratitude for all the favours Allah bestowed on them

‫بفمتومبلوواَ إهلبىى بباهرهئمك لم‬


Bari- care taker, One who sustains creation
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
How is it possible you leave your creator and take calf ?
37:125-126
١٢٥ ‫أببتلدمعوبن ببلعدل بوبتبذمروبن أبلحبسبن ٱللىبخلههقيبن‬
125. What! do you call upon Ba´l and forsake the best of the creators,
١٢٦ ‫ب بءاَبباهئمكمم ٱللبتوهليبن‬ ‫ٱ تب‬
‫ل برتبمك لم بوبر ت‬
126. Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
‫بفٱلقمتلملوواَ بأنفمبسمك لم‬
 Each one should kill his brother in his family
 Scholars of tafseer differed whether they killed in darkness or in light
since they could not face each other
 When they started to kill in daylight, Moosa made dua to deliver for
them and pardon them and it was accepted and killing was stopped
 No darkness preponderant
 Innocent of them will kill the wrong doers some scholars; no denotion
for repentance since killing of a person may show insistence to persist in
sin
 Killing their ownsleves – may include repentance and part of penance
for sin

‫ىبذلهمك لم بخليةر لتمك لم هعنبد بباهرهئمك لم بفبتا ب‬


‫ب بعبلليمك ءلم‬
It is better for them- penance
Tawwab- One who accepts repentance repeatedly, for so many of his
creations who sin.
Benefits of verse
1. Caller to Allah should use words attractive to the called tha
brings people closer to him intending benefit and not to
boast or show dominance
2. Setting up idols to worship is wrongdoing
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
3. Sins constitute wrong doing to oneself; takes right from
oneself, oneself is trust entrusted and should be taken care
of- should be kept away from things that are harmful to it
“Yourselves have right over you “ hadeeth bukahri
Inna li nafsika alaika haqqa
4. One should express himself with word befitting the state of
affairs or conditions
Allah says “‫ بفمتومبلوواَ إهلبىى بباهرهئمك لم‬ establishes evidence “ calf cannot be taken as
god, one who deserves to be true god is Al bari or creator’

5. Obligation of repentance
 Repentance should be immediate
 Letter fa show immediacy
Conditions for Repentance
a) Sincerity – drive to repents must be to hope fear Him and
reward from Him, relinquish oneself from sin
b) Regret and sorrow- person is sorrowful for his actions.
c) Abandon sin immediately – indulging in unlawful acts
should abandon, if he is leaving something obligatory
should adhere to it and replace the thing if not possible then
repentance is accepted.
d) Determination not to return to sin in future
e) Repentance should be in acceptable time limit: before sun
rises from left and death rattle.
‫ت ٱلل ىم‍ببن بوبل ٱلتهذيبن بيممومتوبن بومه لم مكتفاءلر‬ ‫ضبر أببحبدمهمم ٱللبملو م‬

18. And repentance is not for those who go on doing evil deeds, until when
death comes to one of them, he says: Surely now I repent; nor (for) those who
die while they are unbelievers. These are they for whom We have prepared a
painful chastisement. 4:18

I heard the Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬say: Migration will not end until
repentance ends, and repentance will not end until the sun rises in the west.
Sunan Abi Dawud 2479, Sahih (Al-Albani)

6. Confirming the causes “‫هبٱلتبخاهذمكمم ٱللهعلجبل‬


7. Disease should have cure; moos presented them a cure- repentances
The caller to allah if he mentions ills and evils in society should also
emotion solutions and cures to them
8. Foolishness of children of Israel- worshipped that which they made.
9. Recognition of great favours of Allah on Ummah of Muhammad- heavy
burden was put on children of Israel- repentance was manifested until
they killed themselves, for Ummah of Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬takes places if 5
conditions are met and sinner does not harm to himself.
10. Abandoning sin and repentance is better than continuing on it
Person is better off after repentance- if he sins and repents then his
condition is better than before as seen in verses:
‫صبفاهن بعلبليههبما همن بوبرهق ٱللبجتنءهة بوبع ب‬
١٢١ ‫ص ى لى بءاَبدمم برتبمهۥ بفبغبوىى‬ ‫بفأ ببكبل هملنبها بفبببدلت بلمهبما بسلوىبءمتمهبما بوبطهفبقا بيلخ ه‬
121. Then they both ate of it, so their evil inclinations became manifest
to them, and they both began to cover themselves with leaves of the
garden, and Adam disobeyed his Lord, so his life became evil (to him).
١٢٢ ‫ب بعلبليهه بوبهبدىى‬ ‫مثتم ٱلجبتىببمه بردبمهۥ بفبتا ب‬
122. Then his Lord chose him, so He turned to him and guided (him).
Surah taha 121-122

Allah chose and guided him after he repented from the sin
11. Making clear favour of allah upon slave- Allah accepts sincere
repentance of His slaves
12. Affirming two Names of Allah:Tawwab and Raheem
These two nams affirm attributes they comprise- together a tird
attribute becomes evident combining between repentance through
which there is elimination of what is disliked like the harm and the
other is rahma or mercy which is sough t and manifested
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
13. Person should repentance from Allah and hope for His mercy
One of the meaning which Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said”whoever preserves 99 names
of Allah shall enter Jannah”
Enumearation of names- worship Allah through what thye entail
Raheem- person should seek and hope for mercy of Allah

Types of Mercy
1. General- comprising all creation –believer and non believers
alike
2. Particular – only for beleivers
Wa kana lil mu’mineena raheema

155. And Musa chose out of his people seventy men for Our
appointment; so when the earthquake overtook them, he said:
My Lord! if Thou hadst pleased, Thou hadst destroyed them
before and myself (too); wilt Thou destroy us for what the fools
among us have done? It is naught but Thy trial, Thou makest

353
err with it whom Thou pleasest and guidest whom Thou
pleasest: Thou art our Guardian, therefore forgive us and have
mercy on us, and Thou art the best of the forgivers. 7:155

Scholars hold this took place after appointment of 70 men to meet Allah
Not valid opinion- earthquake is mentioned here and the claim of seeing Allah
mentions thunderbolt 2:55 striking them and destroying them which is not
the case as in surah araaf
3. Return of moosa after meeting his lord and torah was sent
down.
Rejected torah and said they would only believe after they saw
Allah
TimeLine in mentioning of events: Torah was sent down calf
was worshipped after moosa brought torah this verse was
mentioned.
Flow of texts- supports this opinion

‫بفأ ببخبذلتمكمم ٱل ى ت‬
‫صهعبقمة بوبأنمت لم بتن م‬
‫ظمروبن‬
Saaiqa- death
Took place for those who said they will only believer after they see Allah

42. Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not
during their sleep; then He withholds those on whom He has passed the
decree of death and sends the others back till an appointed term; most
surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.
.
Surah Zumar 39:41

Life after death Cases of Allah causing death and raising people:

1) Person of cow
2) 2:43 people who feared death- Allah commanded them to die
and raised them die and raised them
3) 2:56 companion of moosa asking to see Allah
4) 2:59 man passed b town destroyed – how would Allah
resurrect this town- was made to die
5) Verse of Ibrahim asking Allah to see how He gives life – giving
life to birds after death.
Does not contradict 23:15 -6
 Raising in this verse would be after general resurrection of all
 Comparison of this verse and 5 incidents- these incidents are
transient and temporal to show signs of Allah
 General resurrection takes place only of day of judgment
 Deniers of day of judgment 21:28, 44:36- messengers did not tell
them they will be resurrected now but on day of judgment

Benefits of these verses


1. Reminder of favors of Allah- raised them to life after death
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
2. Folly of children of Israel- believed in Moosa and still want to see Allah
to believe
3. One who asks of impossibility is deserving of punishment. Wanted to
see Allah out of doubt- kept seeing as condition for believing unlike
Moosa who asked only to longing Allah showkhan, liyadhdhat ru’yati
llah

Pain of punishment is more intent , if he witnesses with own eyes


“While you were looking”
4. Making clear perfect ability of Allah brought life after death
5. Obligation to be grateful to Allah for favors He bestows
Gratitude is being obedient to Allah, attesting on tongue, admitting in
heart and through limbs
Do not say I have been given this favor out of my knowledge etc-
ingratitude
Limbs should perform actions of obedience and shun disobedience
6. Wisdom of Allah – so that you may show gratitude ٥٦ ‫بلبعلتمك لم بتلشمكمروبن‬
Ahkam is ended with mentioning knowledge and wisdom

‫ط هملن بخلشبيهة ٱ ت ة ه‬
74. Then your hearts hardened after that, so that they were like rocks, rather
worse in hardness; and surely there are some rocks from which streams burst
forth, and surely there are some of them which split asunder so water issues
out of them, and surely there are some of them which fall down for fear of
Allah, and Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.
 Pot is separate from earth
 Miracle of prophet ‫ ﷺ‬is greater than moosa

9. Wisdom of allah in making 12 springs

a. Accommodation – only one spring would have difficulty and crowded


b. Preventing enmity and hatred- all combining and having to share a
single water spring would lead to chaos- mercy of Allah-each groups
knew its place of water

61. And when you said: O Musa! we cannot bear with one food, therefore pray
Lord on our behalf to bring forth for us out of what the earth grows, of its
herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions. He said:
Will you exchange that which is better for that which is worse? Enter a city, so
you will have what you ask for. And abasement and humiliation were brought
down upon them, and they became deserving of Allah´s wrath; this was so
because they disbelieved in the communications of Allah and killed the
prophets unjustly; this was so because they disobeyed and exceeded the
limits.

Explanation
‫بوإهلذ قمللمت لم ىبيمموبسىى‬
Remember when Moosa said.

‫صهببر بعبلىى بطبعاءم ىبو ه‬


‫ح ءد‬ ‫بلن تن ل‬
We cannot endure one type of food
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Best of foods- mann(resembles honey appears early morning on tree branches
and salwa (quail or bird)
They asked for something lesser or lower in grade only because they grew
tired out of the best’
Why does in mentions one when two foods?
a) Mann is used as drink in water
b) Kind of food in mentioned (food of mann and salwa)
‫بفٱلدمع لببنا برتب ب‬
‫ك‬
So ask your lord
 Seeking tawassul through live righteous man, asking him to make dua.
 Rudness, and pride “ invoke your Lord” sinister
 They didn’t say “Invoke our Lord for us” which is more humility, as if
they are freeing themselves of any relationship with allah.

‫طوواَ هم ل‬
Enter a city, so you will have what you ask for
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
All of the herbs they asked grows everywhere but they wanted it from above
and they could have got it anywhere
Misr- not Egypt
Moosa denounced and rebuked their request, he did not advice them to look
for it in a city. The statement is a rebuke

‫ض هرببلت ممممم ب بعلم ممليممههممممممٱممل لذ لت مة بوٱ لمملبممم لمممسبكمممبنممممة‬

They drew on themselves with misery and poverty

‫ك‬ ‫بل ميىبقهتملوبنمك لم بجهميدعا إهتل هفي قمدرى دمبح ت‬
١٤ ‫هبأ بتنمه لم بقلوةم تل بيلعهقملوبن‬
14. They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified towns or
from behind walls; their fighting between them is severe, you may think
them as one body, and their hearts are disunited; that is because they
are a people who have no sense.
Surah hashr 59:14

 Cowardice and weakness prevailed over them- unable to strive to attain


their goals
 Miserliness overcame them, had no generosity in wealth
 No nation miser and wealth in hearts as well as much as Jews-
punishment from allah

60. Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this in retribution from
Allah? (Worse is he) whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and
of whom He made apes and swine, and he who served the Shaitan; these are
worse in place and more erring from the straight path.
Surah Maaida 5:60
Punishment befeel them because they used to belive the signs,proofs and
evidence of Allah
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Pride and arrogance – food was sent down to them yet they should arrogance
Belied creational and legal signs of Allah; allah ordered them to enter gate of
Jerusalem saying hitta but instead they said hinta

Killed prophets
Two recitations of prophets
1. Annabiyyeen- derived from nabwa , meaning highness, or
2. annabiyeen from nab’a or important news or bringer of news
killing prophets whituy right
there is not justificeble reason for killing , without haqq is mentioned here so
that the cynic is shown
َ‫صو وا‬
‫هب بما بع ب‬
maa’siya – not doing an obligatioe or doing a forbiddance
‫بيلعبتمدوبن‬
transgression – I’tidaa’ exceeding limits either by withholding from fulfilling
obligations of others or transgressing against them
Difference between maasiya and idhwaan :Disobedience and
Transgression
1. Both mentioned in same statement
a. maasiya: disobedience means – doing the prohibited
b. udhwan: transgression - exceeding limits concerning commands e.g.
making dhuhur as 5 raka
OR

a. maasiya: disobedience – relinquishing commands


b. udhwan :transgression- doing what is forbidden
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Evidence for disobedience leads to kufr rfrom this verse – opinion of some
scholars
Reason when person commits disobedience he considers it light and
continues till he reaches kufr or disbelief
‫بك ت ن‬
١٤ ‫ل بب لل براَبن بعلبىى قمملوهبههم تما بكامنوواَ بيلكهسمبوبن‬
14. Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
Raan – covering on heart

Benefits of the verse


1. Arrogance of bani Israel(ghatrafat bani isareel) asked for less valuable
and benefical things instead of better food
2. Used apprehensible words “ invoke your Lord” and “your Lord” – isnt
Allah their Lord as well- statement of arrogance after belief
٢٤ ‫ك بفىبقهتبل إهتنا ىبهمهبنا ىبقهعمدوبن‬ ‫بقاملوواَ ىبيمموبس ى لى إهتنا بلن تنلدمخبلبها أبببدداَ تما بداَمموواَ هفيبها بفٱلذبهلب بأن ب‬
‫ت بوبردب ب‬
24. They said: O Musa! we shall never enter it so long as they are in it; go
therefore you and your Lord, then fight you both surely we will here sit down.

3. Anyone choosing the lower than the higher show resemblance to Jews,
like choosing forbidden over the lawful.
4. Aim high and not low :It is from high degree of motivation to look for
that which is perfect and best in all matters.

5. Generosity and comfort in food and drink- choosing the best of food and
drink
Eating and drinking can be chosen unless one exceeds a limit and being
extravagant.
 Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬did not denounce companions when they bought good dates
instead of bad ones Sahih Bukhari
 Relinquishing a generosity for legal cause- permissible. Umar left eating
to degree to being full in aam ur ramaada (year of drought).
 Time of Khaybar – people ate onions - “ its is not upto me to make
unlawful what Allah made lawful”
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
6. Permissibility to relate something to its real cause which is a third as
legal or physical cause
If you feed hungry person is about to die of hunger it is permissible to
say had it not been for me feeding him he would have been destroyed
Feeding cause behind eliminating hunger.
Legal aspect for reciting the quran on ill and he is cured after recitation
you may say had I not been for recitation of quran he would not have
been cured.
7. Cause neither affirmed by legal manner not physical cause is forbidden
or linking will of Allah to the cause by using a letter which entails
concerning the first case
Those who put around their neck (tamaim al bidaiat) innovates amulets or
rings for affliction or less harm-incorrect
To use a letter with will of Allah as when prophet ‫ ﷺ‬was said by a man
whatever Allah wills and you will” and said “ did you make me a rival with
Allah rather said “ whatever Allah will alone.”
Qaarun’ s blamable blame
‫ك همن بقلبلهههۦ همبن ٱللقممروهن بملن مهبو أببشدد هملنمه قمتودة بوأبلكبثمر بجلم دعءا‬ ‫بقابل إهتنبما مأوهتيمتمهۥ بعبلىى هعللدم هعنهدءلي أببو بل لم بيلعبل لم أبتن ٱ ت ب‬
‫ل بقلد أبلهبل ب‬
٧٨ ‫بوبل مي ل ‍بسمل بعن مذمنوهبههمم ٱللمملجهرمموبن‬
78. He said: I have been given this only on account of the knowledge I have.
Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of the generations those
who were mightier in strength than he and greater in assemblage? And the
guilty shall not be asked about their faults. Surah Qasas 28:78
 Qaarun denied that it came from Allah, and attributed it to himself
 Person relates something to its ccuase without Allah is cause behind it is
mushrik
Summary
 Occurrence with known cause
 Whatever due to known cause has following forms
Permissible statements
a. First : to relate to Allah alone
b. Second : to relate it to Allah together with its known cause
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353

person I would have drowned.
c. third : mentioning the known cause without mentioning Allah but
acknowledging it

8. To add Allah alongwith with Fa”


Two possibilities
a. Permissible
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
b. Impermissble
9. Adding Allah to unknown cause
Ascribing partners to Allah
10. Reprimand of Moosa to Children of Israel
Person who chooses lesser should be scold
11. Permissible not to act on behalf someone if there is no need
Go to any land and that you will find that which you want me to invoke for

These things are available to someone by himself; one does not do it for others

12. Covering of humiliation on children of Israel

‫ممممممذهلمم ب‬
١١٢ ‫بيلعبتمدوبن‬
112. Abasement is made to cleave to them wherever they are found,
except under a covenant with Allah and a covenant with men, and they
have become deserving of wrath from Allah, and humiliation is made to
cleave to them; this is because they disbelieved in the communications
of Allah and slew the prophets unjustly; this is because they disobeyed
and exceeded the limits. 3:

Exception to humility
1. Covenent of Allah- entry into Islam
2. Covenant from Men- refers to external help they may get
from people.
 Jews are strong in contemporary times- help and aid from
Chrisitians in west
13. Humiliation and indignity refers to miserliness of their hearts,
unsatisfied hearts
14. Children of Israel would not be able to stand against Muslim if
they are faced under Banner of Islam
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Indignity is due to disobedience –if the Jews are fought with Islam and
obedience to Allah –Jews lose, Muslims will win

15. They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified towns or
from behind walls; their fighting between them is severe, you may think
them as one body, and their hearts are disunited; that is because they
are a people who have no sense. Surah Hashr 59:14
Reasons of Palestinian trials:
1. Lack of Sinceirty – Muslims do not fight for sake of Allah, for Islam and
not for prevailing word of Allah, rather pan Arabism
2. Sins of Muslims- Major and Minor -sins prevent success in war

152. And certainly Allah made good to you His promise when you slew
them by His permission, until when you became weak-hearted and
disputed about the affair and disobeyed after He had shown you that
which you loved; of you were some who desired this world and of you
were some who desired the hereafter; then He turned you away from
them that He might try you; and He has certainly pardoned you, and
Allah is Gracious to the believers. Surah Imran 3:152

16. Conferring Attribute of Wrath and Anger to Allah

 Attribute does not resemble the attribute of creatures


 Face reddens, hair stands, we loose our senses- nothing of
this attributes to Allah
 Deviant sects interpreted “Anger” as “vengeance” or “will to
revenge” incorrect meaning and Ta’weel.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
17. Children of Israel combined Maa’si and Udwan (sin and
transgression)
18. Permissibility to seek means of nearness to Allah throught
invocation of someone’s invocation is anticipated to be accepted
 Affirmed in Islam
Evidence  “Invoke your Lord for us”
 People came to the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬to invoke to be included to be
among 70,000 who reach Jannah without accountability-
Need for tawassul of Pious Person :Is it needed ?
1. General Muslims : If the matter is general reason then it is
needed
Umar ibn Ul Khattab asked Al Abbas ibn Abdul Mattalib to
invoke Allah for rain for all masses
Man asked prophet to pray for rain in firday sermon

2. Specific for a person:


a. Intention to benefit the sought person:
 If you invoke Allah for someone , Allah will give you the same.
Angel says “Ameen” wa laka bimithliha
b. Intention to benefit oneself:
 Not allowed or disliked
 Oh Muslims brothers when you want to make dua you yourself
make it don’t depend on others” Shiekh Saleh Al Uthaimeen
 Dua is worship – during this invocation through returning to him,
humility and state of heart – you may get better than what you are
asking for or its response.

19. Permissibile for making perefernce of food


20. Actions of allah are linked to His wisdom
 No ruling of legal legislation that is decreed except that it is linked
to His wisdom.
 Whenever we read something related to His will- not just sheer
will –will necessitated by His wisdom

‫بوبما بتبشامءوبن إهتل بأن بيبشابء ٱ ءتلم إهتن ٱ ت ب‬

30. And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing,
Wise;

21. Children of Israel in addition to transgressing rights of Allah they


transgressed by killing of prophets and those who enjoined what was
right.

 After affliction of humiliation Allah mentions linked to previous verses-
verily the they drew Allah’s wrath- exception to those who believe
 َ‫إه تن ٱ لت هذ ي بن بءاَ بم منو وا‬

The believers here are followers of Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬from his Ummah –entitled
to “eaman mutlaq”- belief in all messengers and books

‫صبرىى بوٱل ى ت‬
‫ص ‍هبيبن‬ ‫بوٱلتهذيبن بهامدوواَ بوٱلتن ى ب‬

2. Fruit in having faith in Allah and Last day- reward of allah and
protection from fear (future) and greive
3. No difference between jews and Christians beleivers with regards of
receving reward and protection from grievance –muslims have more
reward
4. Great reward for belief and righteoous deeds
5. Reminder of evils of group ;people of goodness are mentioned
distinctitively – no general criticism or blame.
Children of Israel – most mentioned about them is evil(verse 61)-
particular to praise of believers
Verse does not apply to all jews and christians- refers to be;eovers of
this Ummah, beleivers of Moosa and easa, and sabians – does not
included those who rejected prophet ‫ ﷺ‬or altered previous revelations
of Injeel and torah

and His mercy on you, you would certainly have been among the losers.

‫بوإهلذ أببخلذبنا هميىبثبقمك لم‬


Covenant called “ meethaq” root word from “saaq”- rope to tie animake –
firmness
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
‫بوبربفلعبنا بفلوبقمكمم ٱلدطوبر‬
Allah raised amountian above them when they laxed in worship
‫مخمذوواَ بما بءاَبتليىبنمكم هبقمتو ءة‬
Hold fast and accept with firmness of torah act upon it with strength

ۚ‫ٱلذمكمروواَ بما هفيههب‬


Remember all that it conatains(in acting upon it)
‫بلبعلتمك لم بتتتمقوبن‬
 Reason for enaction of covement- reaching fear of Allah, complying to
His command and abstaining of prohibitions
 Acts of obedience leads to more of them
١٨٣ ‫ب بعبلى ٱلتهذيبن همن بقلبلهمك لم بلبعلتمك لم بتتتمقوبن‬
‫صبيامم بكبما مكهت ب‬ ‫ى لبيأ بديبها ٱلتهذيبن بءاَبممنوواَ مكهت ب‬
‫ب بعبلليمكمم ٱل ل‬
183. O you who believe! fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for
those before you, so that you may guard (against evil).
 Acts of obedience leads to more of nature
 Taking to obedience motivates him to do another, nourishing his heart

‫ل أبلن أبمكوبن همبن‬ ‫بوإهلذ بقابل مموبسىى لهبقلوهمههلۦ إهتن ٱتلب بيلأمممرمك لم بأن بتلذببمحوواَ بببقبر دنة بقالملوواَ أببتتت ه‬
‫خمذبنا مهمز دوناَ بقابل أبمعومذ هبٱ ت ه‬
٦٧ ‫ٱللىبجهههليبن‬

67. And when Musa said to his people: Surely Allah commands you
that you should sacrifice a cow; they said: Do you ridicule us? He
said: I seek the protection of Allah from being one of the ignorant.

Explanation

Background of the command:

 Moosa is admonishing his people with goodness. Telling tham


of command of slaughtering a cow.
 Two groups disputed amongst themselves for killing a person,
potential fitan amongst themselves. (See 2:72)
 Moosa was taken as judge ut he conveyed the command from
Allah and not by himself- profound impact of direct command
of Allah to the children of Israel
 Command to slaughter a cow-general no description-
compliance from them meant they would slaughter any cow
‫بقا لم لو واَ أب بت تت ه‬
َ‫خ مذ بنا مه مز دونا‬
 They were stubborn ; asking arrogantly “do you make fun of
us??”
 Mockinglys questioning wisdom of Allah and His
command :“How does this solve our conflict ???”

٦٧ ‫ل أبلن أبمكوبن همبن ٱللىبجهههليبن‬


‫بقابل أبمعومذ هبٱ ت ه‬
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Moosa replied seeking refuge in Allah- “ I don’t want to be
foolish (jahil)

‫ض‬ ‫بق‬ ‫بقا ملو واَ ٱ لممدمبلممعممممبنا بر تب بك مي بب لي ن لت بنا بما ههءبي‬
٦٨ ‫بما متلؤبممروبن‬
68. They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us
what she is. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a cow neither advanced
in age nor too young, of middle age between that (and this); do
therefore what you are commanded.

‫بقاملوواَ ٱلدمع بلبنا برتببك ميببلين لتبنا بما ههءبي‬


Explanation

 Request from Allah to details of cow is baseless and asked out


of arrogance.

‫مممممممليممم ى بمم بنذممممله ن ب‬


‫ك‬ ‫بب‬ ‫مممممممم بممملهبممم لممكلرممبعمممبواَ ممن‬
‫بو‬ ‫بق ا بل إه تن مهۥ بي قم و مل إه تن بها بب بق برةة مممممم ت بلفمممماهر ة‬
‫ض‬
 Moosa responded to their arrogance by an appropriate to their
request
 Cow neither too young nor too old
 Urging them to fulfill a command of Allah : “Do what you are
commanded, don’t be studbbirn lest Allah burden you more”
 People of inaad (arrogance) and ta’annudh(stubbornness-
asking for conflict)

‫صلفبرآمء بفاهقةع لتلومنبها بتمسدر ٱلىتنهظهريبن‬


‫بقاملوواَ ٱلدمع بلبنا برتببك ميببلين لتبنا بما بللومنبهءا بقابل إهتنمهۥ بيمقومل إهتنبها بببقبرةة ب‬
٦٩
69. They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to
us what her color is. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a yellow
cow; her color is intensely yellow, giving delight to the
beholders.

 Yellow cow, bright delightful to the onlooker; just as children


of Israel made it difficult for themselves Allah gave them an
appropriate requirement
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Conditions of color- yellow, bright and pleasing to onlookers-
all condition were made incumbent upon them due to their
stubbirness on that which was easy,plain and general
٧٠ ‫بقاملوواَ ٱلدمع بلبنا برتببك ميببلين لتبنا بما ههبي إهتن ٱللبببقبر بتىبشبببه بعبلليبنا بوإهتنا هإن بشابء ٱتلم بلمملهبتمدوبن‬
70. They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us what she is,
for surely to us the cows are all alike, and if Allah please we shall surely be
guided aright.
Explanation
 They asked for the actions of cow, what it would do.
‫بوإهتنا هإن بشابء ٱتلم بلمملهبتمدوبن‬
 Linked guidance to will of Allah
 Had it not been thay they said “ had allah willed they would never have
been guided to the cow”
 If their intentions was to assign matters to allah because it is still
possible – were trying to find excuse if they couldn’t find a cow they
would blame the guidance to Allah and not themselves
‫ت هبٱللبحءلق‬ ‫ث ممبسلتبمةة تل هشبيبة هفيبهءا بقاملوواَ ٱللىم‍ببن ه‬

٧١ ‫بفبذببمحوبها بوبما بكامدوواَ بيلفبعملوبن‬
71. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a cow not made submissive that she
should plough the land, nor does she irrigate the tilth; sound, without a
blemish in her. They said: Now you have brought the truth; so they sacrificed
her, though they had not the mind to do (it).
 The Israelite stories in books of tafseer- cow was with a mna who was
dutiful to his mother, buying at rpaice equivalent to its skins weight-
stories which we neither believer not bely
 Apprante meaning shows its not true, had it been true then its
transmission would have been important , its lesson being important
 Some mufassireen mentions it
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
٧١ ‫ت هبٱللبحءلق بفبذببمحوبها بوبما بكامدوواَ بيلفبعملوبن‬ ‫بقاملوواَ ٱللىم‍ببن ه‬
‫جلئ ب‬
Now you have brought the truth; so they sacrificed her, though they had not
the mind to do (it).
Explanation
 Thise verse : now you have broght the truth” implies that Moosa was
speaking falsehood against them; evidence is that they accused him
of making fun of them.
 Some mufassireen said that “ this is complete clarification”- not
strong opinions
 Truth means “ opposition to falsehood” since they accused moosa of
monking them.
‫بفبذببمحوبها بوبما بكامدوواَ بيلفبعملوبن‬
They slaughtered it with delayed action

٧٢ ‫بوإهلذ بقبتللمت لم بنلفدسا بفٱىتد ى ‍برمت لم هفيبهنا بوٱتلم مملخهرةج تما مكنمت لم بتلكمتمموبن‬
72. And when you killed a man, then you disagreed with respect to that, and
Allah was to bring forth that which you were going to hide.
 The speech was to Jews of the Prophet;s time but action was of children
of Israel
 A man was killed and two tribes fell in dispute over it and moosa was
commanded to slaughter this cow.
 Disagreed over the killed person ---
٧٣ ‫ضبهءا بكىبذلهبك ميلحيه ٱتلم ٱللبملوبتىى بوميهريمك لم بءاَىبيهتههۦ لببعلتمك لم بتلعهقملوبن‬ ‫بفقمللبنا ٱ ل‬
‫ضهرمبوهم هبببلع ه‬
73. So We said: Strike the (dead body) with part of the (Sacrificed cow), thus
Allah brings the dead to life, and He shows you His signs so that you may
understand.
They were commanded to striking the dead man with a piece of flesh from
dead cow they slaughtered
‫بل متبحلرلك هبههۦ لهبسابن ب‬
١٦ ‫ك لهبتلعبجبل هبههلۦ‬
16. Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
١٧ ‫إه تن بع لب لي بنا بج لمممبعمممهمممۥ بو قم لممربءمماَممم بن مهۥ‬
17. Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.
‫بف إه بذاَ بق بر لأ ىممبنمهمم بفٱ تتهبلع قم‬
‫ممممملر‬
١٨‫مممبءمماَممم بن مهۥ‬
18. Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.
Surah qiyamah

 The one who recited to Prophet was Jibril and he followed similarly
Moosa was commanded to tell his people of striking the piece of cow to
the man,

‫بكىبذلهبك ميلحيه ٱتلم ٱللبملوبتىى بوميهريمك لم بءاَىبيهتههۦ بلبعلتمك لم بتلعهقملوبن‬


 Allah brings dead to life as He would do in resurrection

Word of Allah –Possible Explanations by Scholars
1. Torah
 They heard torah,changed and altered it, after understanding it
and knowing what it meant
 Distortion of Torah concerning attributes of Prophet and his
advent.
 After his coming they denied that he is the one prophecied in the
torah

2. Words of Allah with Moosa


o Chosen men with Moosa who denied believing until seeing Allah
 These meant heard words of Allah; changed it

3. Quran
Sheikh Saleh Al Uthaimeen held there is no support for this view
If this possibility is correct;closer than meanings mentioned earlier
‫ل مثتم أبلبلهلغمه بملأبمبنمهءۥ ىبذله ب‬
٦ ‫ك هبأ بتنمه لم بقلوةم تل بيلعبلمموبن‬ ‫جلرهم بحتتىى بيلسبمبع بك ىلببم ٱ ت ه‬ ‫بوإهلن أببحةد لمبن ٱللمملشهرهكيبن ٱلسبتبجابر ب‬

Benefits of Verse
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
1) One who hears words of Allah altering it

 Farther in accepting truth than one who doesn’t hear words of


Allah

2) Allah comforts His messenger relieving him from sorro


 Children of Israel are transgressors in Medina, cannot vcovet their
belief
3) Affirmation of Allah’s speech, with a voiced heard
 Speech of Allah is real and true attribute, sounds, letters and voice

Speech of Allah

 Attribute of Action in its singular occurences;


Attributes which are linked to His will, so they take place if He
wishes like ascension on Throne, descension in lower Heavens,
and coming on Day of jugement.
Allah spoke to Moosa  attributes of action is manifested
Pleasure,anger etc  Sifaat ikhtiyariyyah
 Attribute of Self (Personal Attributes) Origin of attributes ; it
is eternally and sempiternally established with Him like
knowledge, Ability, Power, Hearing ,Seeing etc  Attributes of
Essence
 In its origin it is eternal and occurs when He wills ;He is always
qualified with His speech
Response to Ash’arite and other sects
Ash’ari Belief : Held that speech of Allah is “meaning establiehd within
Himself, letters and voices are NOT from speech of Allah but denote of Allah”
Allah created the sounds and letters in order to express withint Himself.This
only implies that quran is created.
4) Alteration of speech of Allah is quality of Jews

 Some from this Ummah did it and were NOT successful, schoalrs
unravel these distortions

84. And when We made a covenant with you: You shall not shed your blood
and you shall not turn your people out of your cities; then you gave a promise

Review
1. Do not shed blood of your people

‫بل بتلسهفمكوبن هدبمابءمك لم‬


Killing is a grievous sin
Prophet said, “ it ie forbidden for anyone who believes in Allah and Last
day to shed blood.”
Killing unjustly is sin
Your people

2. Do not turn out people from their dwellings


‫بوبل متلخهرمجوبن بأنفمبسمكم لمن هدىبيهرمك لم‬
ۚ‫مثتم أبلقبرلرمت لم بوبأنمت لم بتلشبهمدوبن ل‬

 “You bore witness , ratification nd witnessing was there; after all


of that you killed one another and drove put some from their
homes”
 Addressing the people during time of prophet- the Jews.

85. Yet you it is who slay your people and turn a party from among
you out of their homes, backing each other up against them
unlawfully and exceeding the limits; and if they should come to
you, as captives you would ransom them-- while their very turning
out was unlawful for you. Do you then believe in a part of the Book
and disbelieve in the other? What then is the re ward of such
among you as do this but disgrace in the life of this world, and on
the day of resurrection they shall be sent back to the most
grievous chastisement, and Allah is not at all heedless of what you
do.

Benefits of these Verses

 Ummah is one body
 Eloquence of quran – shed not your blood and expel one another
from your lands
Shows strong and profound incitement to keep away from others
Transgression is forbidden agisnt one other – unit and brotherhood

 Children Of Israel ratified covenant, there were witnesses on that


 Rebellion of children of Israel
 Some of them used to help others in sin and transgression-victory is
unjust
Allah made some of his slaves excel over others
Surah hujurat the most honorable is one who has taqwa39:35
 Rebel against sha’riah
They ransowmed they captives- followed scripture piecemeal
 Disbelieve in some of sha’riah is disbelieve in entirety
If a person believes in some of messengers denyoing others is
disbelief
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Shu’arah 26: 105
١٠٥ ‫بكتذببلت بقلومم منودح ٱللمملربسهليبن‬

87. And most certainly We gave Musa the Book and We sent messengers after
him one after another; and We gave Isa, the son of Marium, clear arguments
and strengthened him with the holy spirit, What! whenever then a messenger
came to you with that which your souls did not desire, you were insolent so
you called some liars and some you slew.

of Israel believed and another party disbelieved; then We aided those who
believed against their enemy, and they became uppermost.

who submit. Surah nahl 16:102
Prophet said to Hassan ibn Thabit making dua for him who composed poetry
against the pagans o Allah support him with ruh il qudus( jibreel)Agreed Upon
Opinion of Ibn Jareer and Ibn Kathir
Correct opinion
‫أببفمكلتبما بجابءمك لم برمسوممل‬
Is it that?
‫هببما بل بتلهبو ى لى بأنفممسمكمم ٱلسبتلكببلرمت لم‬
Is it that whenever a messenger came to you ?”- denounciation and scoff
 A messenger coming to you with a Sha’riah which you don’t desire you
grow arrogance
‫بفبفهريدقا بكتذلبمت لم بوبفهريدقا بتلقمتملوبن‬
 Some of them you belied while others you killed (after belying them).
 Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬too was poisoned in Khyber he said “ O Aisha I still feel the
pain cuased by food I ate at Khyber.I feel as if my aorta is being cut from
me.”
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Imam Zuhri held prophet died as martyr because he was killed by
poisoning
 Beleying of messenger continued till the time of prophet ‫ﷺ‬
How could imam Zuhri’s opinion reconcile with verse in surah Maaida 5:67
that prophet will be protected.

‫س إهتن ٱ ت ب‬
‫ل بل‬ ‫ك همبن ٱلتنا ة ه‬

٦٧ ‫بيلههدي ٱللبقلوبم ٱللىبكهفهريبن‬
67. O Messenger! deliver what has been revealed to you from your Lord; and if
you do it not, then you have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect
you from the people; surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving people. Surah
Maaida 5:67

Meaning of the verse is protection is during your proclamation go ahed and


convey your message, you will not be harmed during your mission or
prevented from proclamation.”

88. And they say: Our hearts are covered. Nay, Allah has cursed them on
account of their unbelief; so little it is that they believe.

 Futile argument of Jews -curse of Allah for their disbelief- blameworthy


of Jews.
‫بفبقهليدل تما ميلؤهممنوبن‬
 Their belief is little – does it incidate non existence or is it apprante little
faith or apparent
 Non existence – this meaning is close
 Using term “little” can be used for “non existence” – verbal and actual
proofs support it.
Points of Benefit
1. Affirming messenger of Moosa
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
2. Affirming the information that is important
 takeedul khabari bi’sha’n
 eventhough the one addressed is not denying
 three forms of affirmation – one being addressed is not denying
 affirmation of statement has three statements
a. Addressed to one denying:
 affirms something obligatory or wujoob
b. addresses to one hesistant/ doubtful:
recommended to affirm.

c. News of high importance


recommended to affirm this news eventhough it address who does
not deny nor is hesistent.
Using articles of affirmation

3. Messengers after Moosa are his followers

“And we have sent messengers in succession following him.”

it the prophets who submitted themselves (to Allah) judged (matters)
for those who were Jews, and the masters of Divine knowledge and the
doctors, because they were required to guard (part) of the Book of Allah,
and they were witnesses thereof; therefore fear not the people and fear
Me, and do not take a small price for My communications; and whoever
did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the
unbelievers.
Surah Maaida 5:44
4. Affirmation of Message of easa

We gave easa ibn Maryam clear signs

5. Person with unknown father is related to his mother


6. Allah gave easa gave Universal and Legal signs
 Universal signs- giving life to dead, curing lepers and blind
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Easa was given these signs because medicine reached excellence – age of
Medicine- signs were brought to show that no medical doctor could
bring about- clarification of existence of Allah and sign from Allah
 Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬was sent wth linguistic miracle- excellence of his age
 Legal signs- Injeel.
7. Easa supported with jibreel

 Angels give support to whomever Allah commands them


 Prophet supplicated for Hassan ibnThabit – to strengthen him with
Ruh il qudus
 Proof of non divinity – had he been god he would not have required
aid from Jibreel.
8. Stubbornness of Children of Israel
9. Children of Israel resort to Arrogance when messengers were
sent don’t act wisely.
Clear stance with viz a viz the Sha’riah – accept part of ti and rejct a part
and viz a viz the one who brougth Shariah- some they belied others
killed with belying
10. Anyone who rejects truth which contradicts his desire resembles
Children of Israel
Arrogance throught Tahreef  alteration or change
Types of Diversion from truth
i. Attest to truth acknowledge his disobedience
ii. Rejects truth, alter texts to fit his desires More sinister to Islam
Rejecs truth because it is against what he desires

11. children of Israel – two groups regarding the messengers


Belying and Killing
12. resorted to futile arguments
“Our hearts are covered.”
 The resorters of arrogance give reasons “ Allah did not guide us”
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Their hearts are not covered Allah responded “ Nay Allah cursed them.”
 Curse of Allah due to their disbelief prevented truth from reaching them

noise when wind passed in it
 Samr deceived them saying it was their god.

seduced them saying Moosa was NOT guided to His Lord and told them
it was their god.
 Harum brother of Moosa forbade them thye denied worshipping it till
Moosa’ returns

61. But whoever disputes with you in this matter after what has come to you
of knowledge, then say: Come let us call our sons and your sons and our
women and your women and our near people and your near people, then let
us be earnest in prayer, and pray for the curse of Allah on the liars. Suah Imran
3:61
Ibn Kathir opinions and proofs
 If the meaning was only asking for death; they could have done the same
with us and asked us to long for death as well.
 “Our challenge does not take precedence over theirs”
Refutation : we believers do not claim here-after is specifically for all of
us, we believe Jannah is for those who believe and do righte deeds
whether of this Ummah or previous Ummah.

96. And you will most certainly find them the greediest of men for life
(greedier) than even those who are polytheists; every one of them loves
that he should be granted a life of a thousand years, and his being
granted a long life will in no way remove him further off from the
chastisement, and Allah sees what they do.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:


"The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said: 'The strong believer is better and more
beloved to Allah than the weak believer, although both are good. Strive for that
which will benefit you, seek the help of Allah, and do not feel helpless. If
anything befalls you, do not say, "if only I had done such and such" rather say
"Qaddara Allahu wa ma sha'a fa'ala (Allah has decreed and whatever he wills,
He does)." For (saying) 'If' opens (the door) to the deeds of Satan.'" Sahih

Greedier thant those who ascribe partners to Allah ie amajor shikr

Differences of Opinion on meaning:

1. New statement Musta’naff stop at “hayaatin”, new statement later is


different statement.
 Meaning from those who ascribe partners to Allah you will find from
them those who like to stay alive a life of 1000 years (committers of
shirk)
 Althought this is possible from a literal aspect, in meaning it is remote
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 And from those who ascribe partners—new statement subject
ahaduhum—Mushriks and pronouns refers to Jews
2. Adjoint phrase:
 Conjugated with term “naas”
 Those who ascribe partners to Allah is conjugated t naas or mankind
 So you will find them greediest of mankind more greedier that those
who ascribe partners to Allah
 People of the books ebeleive in paraside and hell , resurrection whereas
pagans who don’t by analogy should be more greedy since he dbeleives
death means end of affair- keen to attach to this life.
 Strong opinions or correct
 Possible refers to Jews in this case recitation stops at ashraku’- pissible
to refer to Mushriks
 Pronouns refers to Mushriks
Predonreant due to two matters
1. whenever there is pronouns originally it refers to closest mentioned noun
2. if Mushrik wishes to live 1000 year, knowing Jew is more greediest, this
entails Jewish wishes to live more than 1000 years.
Closest mentioned here are Mushriks
‫بيبودد أببحمدمه لم لبلو ميبعتممر أبلل ب‬
‫ف بسبنءة‬

‫بي بو دد‬

 Wishes, from mu’wadda- pure love


 Subject refers to Mushriks according to the 1st opinions
 Lunar years because words are generalized –taken accordint to legal
meaning

36. Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah´s
ordinance since the day when He created the heavens and the earth, of these
four being sacred; that is the right reckoning; therefore be not unjust to

that you should enter the houses at their backs, but righteousness is this that

careful (of your duty) to Allah, that you may be successful. Surah baqarah

Benefits of the verse


1. Making clear that Jews who said here-after is special for them or touchd for
few days are lying in the aying “long for death..”
2. kaafir hates death because he knows of evil consequences.
3. Affirms causes  “due to what their hands have done”
4. Afirming knowledge of the future
“ and they will never long for death”
5. Jews are greediest of mankind for this life
6. Nullification of their statement “fire will not touch us except for few days”
 The one who hates death will not be worried
7. People differ in their greed with respect to this life ”greediest”” means
greedy also occurs
8. Mushriks are of the greediest on mankind, hate death
9. Increase in lifespan doesn’t benefit person in disobedience to Allah.
10. Depth of understanding of the salaf
 Disliked invocation be made for long lifeImam Ahmed disliked
someone to say to another : May Alllah extend your stay/life” longer life
may benefit or harmful
 Correct dua “May Allah give you longer life on his obedience”
11. Allah encompasses actions of Jews and everyone else-Allah is all seer
Seer – means knowledge or Seeing
Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said, “ His veil is light”
 if he uncovers that the subhat of Allah’s face would burn whatever His
sight reaches of creations- hadeeth affirms seeing of Allah.

The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬was standing amongst us and he told us five
things. He said: Verily the Exalted and Mighty God does not sleep, and it does
not befit Him to sleep. He lowers the scale and lifts it. The deeds in the night
are taken up to Him before the deeds of the day, and the deeds of the day
before the deeds of the night. His veil is the light. In the hadith narrated by
Abu Bakr (instead of the word "light" ) it is fire. If he withdraws it (the veil),
the splendour of His countenance would consume His creation so far as His
sight reaches. Sahih Muslim 179 a

102. And they followed what the Shaitans chanted of sorcery in the reign of
Sulaiman, and Sulaiman was not an unbeliever, but the Shaitans disbelieved,
they taught men sorcery and that was sent down to the two angels at Babel,
Harut and Marut, yet these two taught no man until they had said, "Surely we
are only a trial, therefore do not be a disbeliever." Even then men learned from
these two, magic by which they might cause a separation between a man and
his wife; and they cannot hurt with it any one except with Allah´s permission,
and they learned what harmed them and did not profit them, and certainly
they know that he who bought it should have no share of good in the hereafter
and evil was the price for which they sold their souls, had they but known this.

Could it be said enemy of believers is also enemy of Allah?
1. one takes position of retraint whether this versa stands as proof for this,
except he takes believers as enemies becase he holds to Sha’riah then he is
enemy to Allah. Allah is enemy to him.

 Shk Uthaimen takes position of restraint as to thwther this verse which
refers to enemy of Aangels, messngers and Allah can be sued to indicate
that whoever is enemy to belivers is enemy to Allah and vice-verse
 If anyone takes belivers as enemies because of holding on to Sha’riah
then Allah is his enemies.
4. Whoever is kaafir then Allah is his enemy
5. Enmity of Allah
 Attriute of Allah, attribute of Action like pleasure wrath, anget hate etc

7. He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive,
they are the basis of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in
whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical,
seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. but none
knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in
knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind
except those having understanding. Surah Imran 3:7
 Nothing of the verses are unknown to entire Ummah- had this been the
case then quran would not be manifest explanation.
 People of deviation they follow that which is not entirely celar seeking
fitna.
 Quran requires a aheart that is open to receiving it.
 Rebellion leads to disbelief rebellious are disbelivers
1. Anyone who disbelieves is fasiq or rebel
2. ascridibg major fisq to kafir

Fisq is of two types:


a) Major (takes person out of Islam)
32:20
The opposite beelivers get janna and their opposite disbeleivers or
fasiqoon get hell fire
b) Minor fisq

Verse 100

١٠٠ ‫أببو مكلتبما ىبعبهمدوواَ بعلهدداَ تنبببذمهۥ بفهريةق لملنمه ءم ببلل أبلكبثمرمه لم بل ميلؤهممنوبن‬
100. What! whenever they make a covenant, a party of them cast it
aside? Nay, most of them do not believe.

 Covenant Different people of different creeds – between two kaafir


tow different or a kafir and muslim nation
 They – refers to Jews.
 Ayaat which is plural of ayah are of two types
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Legal and Universal signs.
 Awakullama – exclamation
 A groups of Jews abandoned the covenant – not fulfilling it, broke
covenants with slaves of Allah as well
 Broke covenant with the prophet ‫ﷺ‬

Most of them believe not


True believers fulfill covenant; incumbent upon them
Surah isra 17:34
٣٤ ‫شتدهمءۥ بوأبلومفوواَ هبٱللبعلهنهد إهتن ٱللبعلهبد بكابن بم ل ‍مسودل‬
‫بوبل بتلقبرمبوواَ بمابل ٱللبيهتيهم إهتل هبٱلتهتي ههبي أبلحبسمن بحتتىى بيلبلمبغ أب م‬

34. And draw not near to the property of the orphan except in a goodly way till
he attains his maturity and fulfill the promise; surely (every) promise shall be
questioned about.

 Sign of hypocrite – breaks a covenant proves treacherous

Verse 101
‫ظمهوهرهه لم بكأ بتنمه لم‬
‫ل بوبرآبء م‬ ‫ب هكىبت ب‬
‫بٱ ته‬ ‫صلدةق للبما بمبعمه لم بنبببذ بفهريةق لمبن ٱلتهذيبن مأومتوواَ ٱللهكىبت ب‬ ‫بولبتما بجابءمه لم برمسوةل لملن هعنهد ٱ ت ه‬
‫ل مم ب‬
١٠١ ‫بل بيلعبلمموبن‬
101. And when there came to them a Messenger from Allah verifying that
which they have, a party of those who were given the Book threw the Book of
Allah behind their backs as if they knew nothing.

 Prophet ‫ﷺ‬is messenger to people of the book- had important


qualification what was with them he confirmed it
 Book of Allah – adjointed to Allah since Allah spoke the quran.
 Jibril heard it from Allah, broguhtit down to the prophet
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Quran is called a book kitab ebcuase it is written or maktoob in
Preserved Tablet, records in hands of angels and records we have
now.
 Throwing away – completely turned away from it, set aside or
turn to left –possible to take from it, then this tells of intense state
of abandonement and relinquishment as if they didn’t know that
quran is truth

Benefits of these two verses


1. Jews cannot be trusted in any covenant.
2. Breaching by a party of nation a breach of entire nation as long as they don’t
denounce of this breaching – denouncement means they are not blamed
Deducted from the fact that Allah reprimanded the Jews for a party of their
doings
3. From the people of the Book there were those who believe in the Quran and
messenger like Abdullah Bin Salam and Najashi.
4. Anyone who throws covenant from this Ummah then he commits two
violations – Hypocrisy
Propeht said, If he speaks he lies if he priises he fils to keep it and if he is
trusted thenn he is treacherous.”
Four qualities are present in someone then he is hyporites if one of it is
present then he is paertl ;when he speaks he lies and when he is entrusted he
proves treacherous..
5. Message of the Propeht is truth
Min indi Allah A Book sent down from Allah
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:
The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will
be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics
will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up.
1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.
2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.
4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting
manner." : Sahih al-Bukhari 34

6. Foretelling by prophet shows his proepehthood


7. The message of the prophet is truth because Allah said min indiAllah
8. The message is something foretold by previous books
9. The message of prophet confirms the previous message of the messengers
10. Despite this clarity still a party of those who were given the book threw it
away.
11. Relinquishing and throwing away on the fact that someone who ahs book
like Jews and Christians is more ignominy and ugly
12. Quran is speech of Allah because Allah prefised it to himself
13. Affirming ugly action of those who rejct as if they knew not.
14. the messenger ‫ ﷺ‬is messenger to children of Israel as well

you may walk in the right way. Surah A’raaf 7:158
Prophet said None of this Ummah of Jews Christians and dies and does not
believe in that which I was sent except he will be among the fire of hell

102. And they followed what the Shaitans chanted of sorcery in the reign of
Sulaiman, and Sulaiman was not an unbeliever, but the Shaitans disbelieved,
they taught men sorcery and that was sent down to the two angels at Babel,
Harut and Marut, yet these two taught no man until they had said, "Surely we
are only a trial, therefore do not be a disbeliever." Even then men learned from
these two, magic by which they might cause a separation between a man and
his wife; and they cannot hurt with it any one except with Allah´s permission,
and they learned what harmed them and did not profit them, and certainly
they know that he who bought it should have no share of good in the hereafter
and evil was the price for which they sold their souls, had they but known this.
Explanation
 Shayateen, gave out various types of kufr.
 Suleiman’s reign – A kingdom which will not belong to anyone part from
him

35. He said: My Lord! do Thou forgive me and grant me a kingdom which is not
fit for (being inherited by) anyone after me; Surah Sad 38:38.
 Allah subjected wind to Sulieman – included builder and diver for them.

 Jewish View – Suleiman is considered onlya king not prophet
 He came after Musa as evident from the verse – 2:246
‫ل بقابل بهلل بعبسليمت لم‬ ‫ل هممن ببهنلي إهلس ى لبرهءيبل هممن ببلعهد مموبس ى لى إهلذ بقاملوواَ لهبنهب وءي لتمهمم ٱلببعلث بلبنا بملهدكا دنىبقهتلل هفي بسهبيهل ٱ ت ن ه‬ ‫ل‬ ‫ب‬

246. Have you not considered the chiefs of the children of Israel after Musa,
when they said to a prophet of theirs: Raise up for us a king, (that) we may
fight in the way of Allah. He said: May it not be that you would not fight if
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
fighting is ordained for you? They said: And what reason have we that we
should not fight in the way of Allah, and we have indeed been compelled to
abandon our homes and our children. But when fighting was ordained for
them, they turned back, except a few of them, and Allah knows the unjust.
Surah Baqarah 2:246

 Samuel – prophet ‫ﷺ‬


٢٥٢ ‫ك بلهمبن ٱللمملربسهليبن‬ ‫ء‬
‫ك هبٱللبحلق بوإهتن ب‬
‫ل بنلتملوبها بعبللي ب‬
‫تٱ ته‬ ‫هتلل ب‬
‫ك بءاَىبي م‬

and most surely you are (one) of the messengers.

٢١ ‫بيبتبفتكمروبن‬

b. Magic through working things with drugs, papers, certain plants leaves, etc-

to prevent evil and ahrm upon people- referred to Muslim judge
(thought not for apostacy)

other than allah because allah commanded it then it becomes worship.

Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
“Verily, Satan places his throne over the water and he sends out his troops. The
closest to him in rank are the greatest at causing tribulations. One of them
says: I have done this and this. Satan says: You have done nothing. Another one
says: I did not leave this man alone until I separated him from his wife. Satan
embraces him and he says: You have done well.”

82. Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for those who
believe (to be) the Jews and those who are polytheists, and you will certainly
find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: We
are Christians; this is because there are priests and monks among them and
because they do not behave proudly. Surah Maa’ida 5:82

 This verse is addressing a particular type from the Christians those who
are Minks and priest who are not proud, if they would here verses of
Allah they would believe, and in the messenger of Allah- those who
believes are of this type

their eyes overflowing with tears on account of the truth that they recognize;
they say: Our Lord! we believe, so write us down with the witnesses (of truth).
Surah maida 5:83
Conditions of Christians differed with time.
10. Will of Allah is not pretext for disobedience
 Sinner has no plea for his sin blaming on Mashiyyah of Allah as pretext.
 Allah gave him intellect, prepared him for guidance, sent messengers to
him, nullified for him usage of such please y sending messengers
Nisaa 4;165

Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
165. (We sent) messengers as the givers of good news and as warners, so that
people should not have a plea against Allah after the (coming of) messengers;
and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
a) Sinner chooses for himself many things and does not use pre –decree of
Allah as pretext, but blames predecree of Allah when it comes to his
sins.
b) Pre-decree of Allah is a hidden secret completely from creation, until it
happens. How can a sinner blame pre decree before sinning . why does
he not claim Allah will make his pious.
An’aam 6:148-149
‫ك بكتذ ب‬

148. Those who are polytheists will say: If Allah had pleased we would not
have associated (aught with Him) nor our fathers, nor would we have
forbidden (to ourselves) anything; even so did those before them reject until
they tasted Our punishment. Say: Have you any knowledge with you so you
should bring it forth to us? You only follow a conjecture and you only tell lies.
‫ن‬
١٤٩ ‫قملل بفلهلتهه ٱللمحتجمة ٱللىببلهبغمة بفبللو بشابء بلبهبدىىمك لم أبلجبمهعيبن‬
149. Say: Then Allah´s is the conclusive argument; so if He please, He would
certainly guide you all.

Argument of the kafirs – futile - they have no knowledge of what Allah had
willed with regards to them.
“Till they taste wrath of Allah” – they taste it when they indulge in sin and
wrath of Allah falls of them

So Allah sent down His tranquillity upon him and strengthened him with hosts
which you did not see, and made lowest the word of those who disbelieved;
and the word of Allah, that is the highest; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

Difference of Opinions on the Address


 Address is to the Jews;
 Mushriks because of 17:19 in Surha Isra
 Muslims
It is correct to say to allh since prophet was sent to all of them;
Particularization to Jews is rare; exclamation to Moosa is denounciation
against those who bring excessive questions; : “do you put questions to your
messenger as Moosa people asked their messenger ?”
Rasool is added y to us “ 5 :15

113. And the Jews say: The Christians do not follow anything (good) and the
Christians say: The Jews do not follow anything (good) while they recite the

say; so Allah shall judge between them on the day of resurrection in what they
differ.
Jews hold Christians followed nothing beucase they reject Jesus, and do not
consider their law at all. The Christians hold that Jews follow nothing ebcuase
they rejected the religion
Christians were on a religion ebfore advent of prophet Jews claim of Chrisitans
is erroneous
Jews were on a religion which was abrogated since they did not believe in
Jesus and his law- Christian claim that Jews are upon nothing is correct

‫مه لم بيلتملوبن ٱللهكىبت ة ب‬

Shk Uthaimeen says Ibn Jarir is that the verse is general – fundamental
principle is a text from quran or sunnah whenever it indicates two
meanings without oppostions and non preponderates over the other-
Vastness of Speech of Allah and words of Messenger of Allah-
comprehensive in meaning.

‫بكىبذله ب‬
‫ك بقابل ٱلتهذيبن بل بيلعبلمموبن هملثبل‬

 Differing between Jews and Christians – Chrisitians differ in their sect


with fundamental sects Jews as well.

 People of Kufr each makes takfir of the other, enemies from an angle
and enemies with toehr angel with respect to Muslims they all are
friends of each other with respect to each other they are enemies.
 One who opposes truth knowingly “while they both recite the
scripture” Christians recited torah knowing the Jews were on correct
religion before Advent of Jesus, Jews recited the torah knew Messiah
would come as from their books but rejected upon his coming.
 Ignorant one becomes excused , but learned one has no excused if no
impediments to follow.
 Pillars of resurrection is 6th pillar of faith – Allah links it to faith in Him.
 Affirming Judgement to Allah.
 Al hukm is of three types
1. Legal or Shar’ee

done they shall find present (there); and your Lord does not deal unjustly with
anyone.

4. To Him is your return, of all (of you); the promise of Allah (made) in truth;
surely He begins the creation in the first instance, then He reproduces it, that
He may with justice recompense those who believe and do good; and (as for)
those who disbelieve, they shall have a drink of hot water and painful
punishment because they disbelieved. Surah Yunus

Dealing with Justice is what allah entailed upon himself and the grace
something additional. The occasion is an occasion of warning.

except in fear; they shall meet with disgrace in this world, and they shall have
great chastisement in the hereafter.

2. He it is Who caused those who disbelieved of the followers of the Book to go
forth from their homes at the first banishment you did not think that they
would go forth, while they were certain that their fortresses would defend
them against Allah; but Allah came to them whence they did not expect, and
cast terror into their hearts; they demolished their houses with their own
hands and the hands of the believers; therefore take a lesson, O you who have
eyes! Surah Hashr 59:2
‫ل‬
‫أ مووىلبهئ ب‬
‫ك بما بكابن بلمه لم بأن بيلدمخملوبها إهتل بخاهئهفيءبن‬
Three Possible Meanings:
 It is not befitting to enter mosques except in fear because othey are
kafirs- fear imposed upon them.
 Khabar or news – “don’t allow them to enter the mosques if you prevail
over them except when they are humbled in state of fear
 Glad tiding from Allah that those who forbade, will not enter mosques
except in fear,

‫خلزةي بوبلمه لم هفي ٱللل ه‬


‫خبرهة بعبذاَ ل‬
١١٤ ‫ب بعهظيةم‬ ‫بلمه لم هفي ٱلددلنبيا ه‬

 Disgrace in this life and great punishment in here-after.


Benefits of Acts
a) Disobedience is of varying in degree, some worse than others so is acts
of obedience
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
b) Some people have stronger faith thatn others – faith increases and
decreases
People vary in terms of their certainty , actions and the apparent actions
from sayngs and deeds; degree of certainity.
Person himself – conditions varying from time to time; sometimes he
will have clear thinking and a clear heart aas if he sees the here-after
with his eyes other times he will overtaken by heedlessness and
certainty diminish Allah told ibrahim

260. And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! show me how Thou givest life to
the dead, He said: What! and do you not believe? He said: Yes, but that
my heart may be at ease. He said: Then take four of the birds, then train
them to follow you, then place on every mountain a part of them, then
call them, they will come to you flying; and know that Allah is Mighty,
Wise. Surah Baqarah 2:260

Difference in Knowledge
Such and such persom is coming the one who told about him is reliable and if
another person says the same knowledge increases and if another comes the
knowledge will be further strenghthed and seeing also strengthens knowledge

Difference in Sayings
Person who makes tasbeeh or remembers Allah declaring Him free of
imperfection like subhanllah 10 times increases faith accordingly- quantitative
increase in eeman.
Difference in Actions
Meaning hey differ with respect to type of Action performed. One who
worships Allah by fulfilling obligtions has more faith than one who fulfills
throught voluntary
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
“My slave comes near to me with most beloved things of What I have enjoined
upon Him.”

2. Permissibility to Prevent the entrance mosques because of benefit


Allowable resons for closing Mosques
Preventing may have several reason to it
a. closing doors to protect carpets, floors, books, mushaf, fearing fitna of
religion.
b. Renovation , fearing theft etc
3. Forbiddance of preventing name of Allah mentioned in Mosques
 Salah, recitation of Quran, teaching knowledge, tasbeeh etc
 Some scholars deducted forbiddance for anyone to put something in
row such that the person restricting place to himself equivalent to
preventing Allah’s name mentioned in mosque- Strong argument such
restriction is unlawful if he returns from home, if he is in same mosque
it is ok to restrict that palce but shouldn’t step ove peoples heads to
reach this place, disturbing thr ows when it reached him occupying tow
place
4. Mentioning Allah takes place by tongue, heart and limbs
 Remembrance by heart – contemplation of signs of Allah, denoting His
Dominion <mercy and Wisdom
 Remembrance of tongue – every saying drawing the person near to
allah, subhannalah Allah is far removed above perfection, Allahu kabar
(takbeer) Allah is greatest, Tahmeed alhamdullila All pariase is due to
Allah tahleel  la ilaha illa Allah
Enjoining good and forbidding evil ,teach knowledge.
 Remembrance of limbs – every action drawing person nearer to Allah –
wudu,ghusl, establishing prayers, fasting, charity.

5. Honor bestowed on Msques built on Piety


Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Allah added them to Himself “masajjidullah”

Conjugation of Objects to Allah- Three types


a. Description or Attribute:
 Uncreated Attribute of Allah, if it is His attribute it mens it is Not created
e.g. Speech
 Ilmullah or Knowledge of Allah.

b. Essence
if what is added to Allah is established essence , Created and Not from
attributes of Allah
e.g. Masajid Allah, Naqutallah etc
Reason for conjugation of these essence  way of honor , special reason.
c. Created Enitities
 if what is added to Allah is related to created Essence then it is also
itself created
e.g. surah hijr 15:29
ٓ ٢٩ٓ ‫ن‬
‫دي ن‬
‫ج ق‬
‫س ق‬ ‫قمعواا ٓل ن م‬
‫هۥ ٓ تن‬ ‫حي ٓفن ن‬
‫من ٓلرو ق‬
‫ه ٓ ق‬ ‫فلخ م‬
‫ت ٓقفي ق‬ ‫سوتليت م م‬
‫هۥ ٓونن ن ن‬ ‫فنإ ق ن‬
‫ذا ٓ ن‬
29. So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit,
fall down making obeisance to him.
Soul is added to Allah, (min ruhi); created soul,related to Adam who is also
created.
6. True establishment of Mosques is remembrance of Allah and acts of
worship
7. Place for making Salah which person may have at home, office etc is not
fit to take rulings of masajids
Masajids are special places for salah where it is conducted
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
8. anything leading to Shirk is forbiddan to be placed in any mosques
 Masajid means place of prostration to Allah, something leading to
shirk – forbiddan e.g burying dead in Mosque –means to shirk.

8. Duty to purify mosques entail honor Allah.

And purify My house (taa’ifeen) aakifeen , rukka ‘ sujood, check

9. People are equal in mosques

Mankind are slaves of allah same with respect to Allah in worship

10. Permissible for scholar to have particular palce to conduct classes


for teacing when salah is established he should not prevent people from
using this place

11. remembrance of Allah must be with His name

Remembrance cannot be except by mentioning His name


Heart – mentioning His name and other names of Allah; contemplate
and Actions pf Allah, His creation
Caution : remembering Allah throught the sufi mystique way “hu”-
Innovation- sufist consider it the best way – “you don’t see witness except
Allah“ shirk
Al fana- Annihilation in Allah – most perfect state according to them.
Fana :
Mystique term – spiritual state of Annihilation or desolution fo ego ; one of the
stations of sufi Mystique orders
Sufi also speak of fanau fil fana or fana fil llah –
Reliance of Travellor Nu Ha Mim Kellar - Did you come across these works in
quran, hadith, prophets’ ways and companions– quotes Ahmed alawi “ begins
is madness proceeds to arts ends in quatitude . pg 791
12. Forbiddance to ruin Mosques in tangible and intangible ways
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Some work to destroy mosques physically or also intangibly spreading
innovaitons, shrik and superstitions contrary to teachings of deen.

13. A sin if involves transgression against slaves of Allah then Allah may
combine two punishements – one for this life and one for here after
One for this life – quench the heart of the oppressed
One for here-after -
If sin consists rights of Allah Allah does not combine the pnishiment

10. Those who prevent Allah’s name and stirves to ruin them
will be punished in this life and hereafter
11. Glad tidings for believers – transgressors preventing name of

115. And Allah´s is the East and the West, therefore, whither you turn, thither
is Allah´s purpose; surely Allah is Amplegiving, Knowing.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Explanation
 The other kings - Dominions are limited
 Allah asserts His Lordship and Divinity;
 East: Place of rising of Sun ; Shuroo’ ; West : place of setting
 East and west in quran in three different ways
a) Singular 2:115
Dual  55:17
‫ب ٓٱلل ن ل‬ ‫ب ٓٱلل ن ل‬ (b
‫مغرقب ل ني ق‬
ٓ ١٧ٓ ‫ن‬ ‫مشرققنلي ق‬
‫ن ٓوننر ل‬ ‫نر ل‬
c) Lord of the East and Lord of the West.

Surah Rahman 55 :17


d) Plural
70:40
‫م‬
ٓ ٤٠ٓ ‫ن‬ ‫ب ٓإ قتنا ٓل ن تن‬
‫قد قمرو ن‬ ‫ق ٓونٱلل ن‬
‫مغتنرق ق‬ ‫شرق ق‬ ‫ب ٓٱلل ن‬
‫م تن‬ ‫م ٓب قنر ل‬ ‫ ٓفننل ٓألق ق‬
‫س م‬
40. But nay! I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We
are certainly able. Surah Ma’arij

Reconciliation between the usages


1. Singular does not contradict dual or plural
 because it carries article “al” then it means for the kind;
which comprises the singular and multiple.
2. Dual & Plural :
 Plural is in relation whatever rises in east and sets in west;
the sun the moon, stars each has its own point of east and
west.
 Could also mean to refer of the points of rising and setting of
sun each day- sun rises and sets in each day in the east and
west respectively
3. Dual only –
 rising in the east in winter and rising in summer and
respectively the west
 Dual only Sunrise in winter – inclined farther most south and
during summer the sun is inclined towards North; between
there are great distances
 Most verses in surah Rahman are in dual
4. Plural Only
East and west in plural means magnification
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
It fits the magnification hence mentioned in plural form

‫ل ٱللبملشهرمق بوٱللبملغهر ء م‬
‫ب‬ ‫بو ه ت ه‬
 Denotes encompassing comprehensibility
 East and west will constitute all dominion

‫ه ٓٱلل تءهه‬ ‫ن‬


‫ما ٓت مونللواا ٓفنث ن ت‬
‫م ٓونلج م‬ ‫فنألين ن ن‬
Wherever you turn yourself you will find the face of Allah
Tawallow- turn
Fathamma – there is

Opinions of Scholar concerning “ wajhu Allah”


1. Refers to face of Allah- correct preponderant meaning
Prophet said inna allahi ta’ala wa tuwalli
“Do not spit in front of yourself since Allah in in front you.”
Bukhari vol 1 no 400
 People direct to North direct to south and those from east to west;
though each one directs to a particular direction all of them unite to
Ka’aba
 Irrespective of where you direct yourself, you are directing yourself to
Allah.
 When you stand and direct yourself to sun when it is about to set, can
you say sun is in front of you or not? Yes you can say!
 Is the sun above you or not ? yes it is
Ibn Taymiyyahs refutational rule 
 If this is true concerning the small thing from creation of Allah, the
creator of the sun, earth, heavens –is in front of the person who is
praying.
2. Direction – wherever you face Allah is there – invalid
ۚ‫ع ٓع نقليةم ٓء‬
‫س م‬ ‫ن ٓٱلل ت ن‬
‫ه ٓوتن ق‬ ‫إق ت‬
Benefits of this verse
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
1. Singling Allah with His kingdom and it is perfectly
comprehensive- He encompasses everything – wherever you
turn your face
2. His right to direct His slave wherever He wishes
3. Posses east and west
Allah spoke about abrogation in 106
Is prelude for turning direction from jeruselum to Kaba
As if Allah is telling “ to Allah beoleng the east and west then
wherever you trunt there is face of Allah.”
4. Affirming Majestive Face to allah
5. Fa thamma - this porves that to Allah belongs a place “
thamma” signals a place. This is above creation. Nothing of the
creation encompasses it He is above everything
Prophet said to slave girl where is Allah and she replied “ in the
heavens “

6. Refutation of Two Innovations


a. Hulooliyyah
“Allah is everywhere in essence “
Refuted by textual, proof and intellect
b. Allah is not in the world, nor outside nor below it nor that on
right nor left etc. not connected not separated from it.
some scholars said if someone said this describe for us non-
existence we wouldn’t find it better than this one!
People of ta’teel.
He is above creation, distinct and speperate from creation ,
rose above His arsh in Majestic way suiting Him.

7. All knowing and All sufficient – Affirmation of the Two Names


of Allah

‫ت ٓونٱللأ نلر ه ن‬
‫ض‬ ‫موتن ق‬
‫س تن‬
‫ما ٓقفي ٓٱل ت‬ ‫نبل ٓل ت م‬
‫هۥ ٓ ن‬
Logical Facts Disproofing Son of Allah
1. All dominion belongs to Him alone:
No requirement for a son
He has no son had he had a son he would be sharing his dominion
2. No resemblance to Him
Had he had a son he would resemble Him in owning ,creation and other
attributes which are glorified suiting Allah alone.
3. None worthy of worship other than Him
Son would equire worship due to divinity but there is no son

1. intent

98. So when you recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed
Shaitan,surh Nahl 16
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353

So this verse idha adah amran means -”If he wants to decree a matter..”
2. His doing comes after His saying “Be”
 idha fa’ala shay’a finnama yaqulu tala ainda fi’lihi “kun fayakun
 He says be and it happens
Benefits of the verses
1. Stubborness of Man and His transgression
Abuse and insult to Allah “ Allah begotten a son”

The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "Allah said, 'The son of Adam tells a lie against me
though he has no right to do so, and he abuses Me though he has no right to do
so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is that he claims that I cannot recreate
him as I created him before; and as for his abusing Me, it is his statement that I
have offspring. No! Glorified be Me! I am far from taking a wife or offspring.' "

116. And they say: Allah has taken to himself a son. Glory be to Him; rather, whatever is

i. word subhanahu
Implicit indication – praise is Him who requires no assitence or maintaining a lineage
ii. everything in heavens and earth belongs to Him
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Complete dominion belonging to him necessitates He not have Son
iii. Possesed cannot be son for the owner
All other than Allah is created it cannot be His son since Allah is creator.
iv. All are submitters to Him

The creation are worshippers of Allah, cannot be son of His Lord


v. originator of heavanes and earth
Since He is originator of heavens and earth, is able to create Human without

57. Certainly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of
the men, but most people do not know
6. whenever Allah wants to decree a matter he says be and it is
 One who is able to do that can bring a son without a father. Why does he need a
son.

2. Universal submissiveness
Denotes two meanings : general and particular meaning

people of deviation those denying Allah by saying “ what is above ius
unlimited state.”
 Earth is mentioned in singular, however also seven in number talaq:12;

118. And those who have no knowledge say: Why does not Allah speak to us or a sign
come to us? Even thus said those before them, the like of what they say; their hearts
are all alike. Indeed We have made the communications clear for a people who are
sure.

Explanation:
 They say “why doesn’t Allah speak to us?” or why doesn’t a sign
come to us “ sign to proff messengers are upon truth
 Stubbornness –why doesn’t allah speak to us and disdain- why
doesn’t a sign come to us
 Messengers bought to us for the like of what people belief-greatest
sign in quran revealed- inimitability.
 Allah made sure to tell us that this was said earlier – people of

Benefits of the verse


1. why Allah does not speak to comman man – response to such a
doubt – messenger has been sent
2. Messenger is sent by Allah.
3. Prophet Muhammad is a true Messenger and not a Lord,
messenger cannot replace Lord.
4. Message contains commandments and prohibitions.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 Entails enjoining obligations and forbidding evil ; had Sha’riah
been only commands and no prohibitions then keeping away from
thins would not be clear- no completeness in test for man.
 Easy for an old man to abandon zina, therefore the punishment for
him when he commits is more sever, compared to a young man.
 Diversifying responsibilities – salah is a physical responsibility ,
zakah is spending what is beleoved, fasting is relinquishing desires
food, drink and legal sexual intercourse, hajj is physical and
financial act of Ibadah
5. Duty of the messengers is proclamation of the message; not liable for
the sinners
6. Opposers of the prophet are upon falsehood.
Fleshood partial – Muslim indulging in disobedience , truth he carrie is
his tawheed- amalgamation of both
7. Incitement to do that which is good would be glad tidings for the
believers- receives glad tidings in this life and here-after.
He may be pleased:

youَ areَ aَ believer.” The man said, “O Messenger of Allah, what is sin?”

Narrated `Ali:
We were with the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬in a funeral procession, and he started scraping
the ground with a small stick and said, "There is none amongst you but has been
assigned a place (either) in Paradise and (or) in the Hell-Fire." The people said (to
him), "Should we not depend upon it?" He said: carry on doing (good) deeds, for
everybody will find easy such deeds as will lead him to his destined place. He
then recited: "As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah.."
(92.5) Sahih al-Bukhari 6217

 When a person does good deeds which allah made easy for him.
Allah guided him to it making it easy for him to do, making a
blessing for him which will make him lead to paradise
 If righteous deeds are difficult upon him and evil is easy upon
him, should return to repentance fearing his status.
Hadeeth qudsi
O my slaves verily these are your deed which I rrecord for you then I
will recompense you for them then whoever finds good then let him
praise Allah and whoever finds otherwise should blame none bbut
Himself”
Sahih Muslim
 If a person conveys to Allah proclaim da’wah to Allah calling
people to it nothing of miguidance will affect him

whom he wills. Allah knows best whom he has guided.”

jew or a Christian then either ways you will be upon misguidance’

believed in all the messengers including Muhammad
Tafseer Surah Baqarah

They just believe in one god but they attribute to Him false attributes –
they don’t worship Allah some Muslims gold Jews are believers,
denying their kufur denial of their kufr is kkufr itself

 Preference of forefather does not avail their progeny.
Intercession: To place onself as mediatorefor another, helping him to repel a
harm or bring forth a benefit.It is called “shafa’a” because the shafi’a one who
interceding is added to the one interceded on whose behalf becomes compared
instead of being edged.
 No person shall save another
 No recompense accepted from anyone
 Shaf’a concerning people of hell is repelling of harm to be saved from it and

benefit.
 On the Day of resurrection intercession does not avails except one who Allah
permits to interced and whose word is acceptable to Allah- those entitled will
benefit

such is the recompense of the unbelievers. Surah Baqarah 2:191
 Fitna – shirk and polytheism.
 Forbidden to carry arms in Makkah
 Ibn Umar was on his mount in Mina one of the decedance stabbed him in his
foot. Al hajjaj tyrant ruler in Iraq came to visit Ibn Umar if only incurred this injury
on you he would punish. You are the one who inflicted this on me, you carried
arms on the day where it is not allowed to be carried and brought arms to
haram. Sahih Bukhari
Narrated Sa`id bin `Amr bin Sa`id bin Al-`Aas:
Al-Hajjaj went to Ibn `Umar while I was present there. Al-Hajjaj asked Ibn
`Umar, "How are you?" Ibn `Umar replied, "I am all right," Al-Hajjaj asked,
"Who wounded you?" Ibn `Umar replied, "The person who allowed arms to
be carried on the day on which it was forbidden to carry them (he meant
Al-Hajjaj)." Sahih al-Bukhari 967
Tafseer Surah Baqarah

2. Every place of resort should be safe place


 Mosques are safe places, unless carrying it is for securing place commanded by
Muslim authority.
3. Scholar differed on two raka after tawaf

‫م ٓ م‬ ‫قا ق‬
‫م ن‬ ‫ذواا ٓ ق‬
‫من ٓ ت‬ ‫خ م‬
‫ونٱت ت ق‬

 Mandatory – cited evidence that original command I amndatory and prophet did it
and commanded it
 Sunnah- matter later to tawaf and circumambulating of kaba, recommended to
offer,person should not remain behind this maqam for long 1 st rakah surhak
kafirun and 2nd raka surah ikhlas.
 Voluntary prayer of these two raka –without performing tawaf or making them
lengthy or sitting afterwards to recite quran remembrance or more than two raka’
is not allowable. Prophet was most keen for looking out for good for this Ummah,
he prayed two light rakah and left the place.
 This place is aprticualr to making tawaf , transgressing against other to stay there
without any legal reason.
In case of over crowdedness in place of tawaf and people go beyond mawam for
tawaf, can the person perform two rakah in place of tawaf delaying them ?
He has no right to do so, right of people making tawaf takes precedence over his
praying. It is permissible pray away from place of tawaf keeping the maqam of ibrahim
between himself and kaba even if he could go farthers end of the circle surrounding the
kaba.the people making tawaf has no other place but palce of tawaf to
circumambulating but the one who wants to pray can go elsewhere to pray.

4. Allah rewards a believer much more that his efforts


 Ibraim fulfilled his covenant and observes patient; Allah made his a leader of
mankind, commanded people to take from his maqam a place of Salah
5. Duty of purifying house of Allah from tangible and intangible filth.

 For tawaf to be valid then it should be withing almasjid or parameters
of masjid haram then it does not fulfill the tawaf.
 Tawaf cannot be done sa’e area or on top of it- NOT part of the
masjid
 Permissible for menstruating women to make saee as they are not

2. person who broke wudu during tawaf and cannot come out to make wud
can continue his tawaf
8. Permissible to be in I’tekaf in Haram.

Haram and prophet said g ahead and fulfill your vow.”
9. Superiority of four acts of worship- Itekaf, tawaf, ruku;’, sujood
 Best postures during salah are bowing and prostrating.
 Ruku’ more superior than posture of standing, similarly sujood
 Standing is superior to ruku’ and sujood wit respect to what is recited- forbidden
to recit quran in ruku’ and sujood. Remembrance during standing is speech of
Allah
 Remembrance of ruku’ and sujood is to make tasbeeh- lesser inviolability.
 Permissible for person who is sexually deifled to make remembrance but not
ecite the quran, permissible to ouch papers with remembrance and quranic
words but not the mus-haf.

82. Those who believe and do not mix up their faith with iniquity, those are they
who shall have the security and they are those who go aright. Surah An’aam 6:82

6. Allah may give the person more than what he asks due to wisdom
Ibrahim asked Allah to rovide fruits to those who believe only , Allah responded
by saying also to those who disbelieve
Does this entail the affirmation of the disbelief of disbeliever in Makkah?
Does ot not entail because Allah made in 9:28 does not mean kafir is exusced as
he is being given provisions.

careful (of their duty) and believe, then they are careful (of their duty) and do
good (to others), and Allah loves those who do good (to others). Surah Maa’ida
5:93

8. Man is in need to invoke Allah


 Irrespective of his rank – none can relinquish invocation
 Invocation or dua has affect concerning what is sought; whether its
objective is to repel something harmsful or bring benefit- had there be no
effect of dua it would have been worthless
if Allah has written everything down there is no need for dua – incorrect
statement
 Allah has written and pre ordained it based on our invocation
 Same like saying one who says I wont eat if Allah has ordaind life I will
live- eating is effective cuase of life- denying the cause is denial of
something which is apparent which Allah has made.
 Allah pre-ordains matters by dua- many narrations and events oaccured
because of response of invocations.

9. Clemency of Ibrahim towards the people

 Clemency in asking Allah to provide for them


10. Provision of Allah comprise both believers and disbeliever

Lot of wrongdoing hs passed by and may chances have been lost.
11. Affirmation of Punishment in hell-fire
12. Affirming the Speech of Allah
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
 His speech comprises of letter and words, sound which is heard – ibrahim

127. And when Ibrahim and Ismail raised the foundations of the House: Our Lord!

The true believer is afraid that his good deeds will be rejected
Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that Wuhayb bin Al-Ward recited, (And (remember) when Ibrahim
and (his son) Isma`il were raising the foundations of the House (the Ka` bah at
Makkah), (saying), “Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us”) and cried and said, “O
Khalil of Ar-Rahman! You raise the foundations of the House of Ar-Rahman (Allah), yet
you are afraid that He will not accept it from you” This is the behaviour of the sincere
believers, whom Allah described in His statement, (And those who give that which they
give) (23:60) meaning, they give away voluntary charity, and perform the acts of worship
yet, (with their hearts full of fear) (23: 60) afraid that these good deeds might not be
accepted of them.

Propehts asked for making them muslims and guiding their offspring.
Being Muslims does not continue without success from Him
Surah Isra 17:74-75

75. In that case We would certainly have made you to taste a double (punishment) in
this life and a double (punishment) after death, then you would not have found any
helper against Us.

Our steadfastness is not on our own account without aid of Allah- Steadfastness is from
Allah- fall from grace would cause them to incur sever punishment in both worlds
3. Submission with sincerity to commands
Importance of sincerity 2:11

112. Yes! whoever submits himself entirely to Allah and he is the doer of good (to
others) he has his reward from his Lord, and there is no fear for him nor shall he grieve.
Surah baqarah 2:112
4. Islam mandates inward and outward submission – complete submission
5. Allah accepted sincere true invocation especially of offspring
 Offpsirng is what man leaves behind for his legacy and benefit
 Righteous offpsrine alone benefits
 “ Dua of Ibrahim for his offspring numerous time -“Protect me and my
children from worshipping idols”
6. Default with repsect to man is ignorance
And show us rituals “- teach us or let us no”
7. Believer does not worship except what allah ordains;
 Origin/default with respect to worship is refrainment –
 Show us our rituals”- they asked for knowledge and not worshipped
in their own way.
 Forbidden to worship Allah in unlegislated matters.
8. Upon hearing invocation say Ta’meen
The invocation for both say Ameen whne you hear a dua- ibrahim was invoking and
ismael was saying ameen- one who is saying ameen is like one invoking

mercy), the Merciful.surah taubah 118

and believe in Him and ask protection for those who believe: Our Lord! Thou embracest
all things in mercy and knowledge, therefore grant protection to those who turn (to
Thee) and follow Thy way, and save them from the punishment of the hell: Ghafir7

Classification of Mercy
1. Created Mercy:rahmatul makhluqa
e.g. hadeeth al qudsi – concerning paradise “ you are my mercy andby you I bestow
mercy to whom I wish of My slaves.” Sahih Bukhari
His mercy – referred here as His mercy because it is place of His mercy , abode of His
slaves.
2. Attribute :

Uncreated attribute of Allah like all attribute


Consists of two types
a) Comprehensive
Comprises all creation
Bring what is beneficial and repel harm for those who receive it

Special = particular to His slaves believer 33:43

‫ت ٓإ قل نممى ٓٱلن لمموءهر‬ ‫ن ٓٱلظ لل م تن‬

ٓ ٤٣ٓ ٓ ‫ما‬ ‫حي د‬ ‫ن ٓنر ق‬ ‫مقني ن‬ ‫ن ٓب قٱلل م‬

43. He it is Who sends His blessings on you, and (so do) His angels, that He may bring
you forth out of utter darkness into the light; and He is Merciful to the believers.

 Specific Mercy Leading them to success, correcting their affairs – more


particular than general mercy.

their own souls, and they shall not harm you in any way, and Allah has revealed to you
the Book and the wisdom, and He has taught you what you did not know, and Allah´s
grace on you is very great. Surah Nisaa 4:113
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353

Hikma refers to sunnah and what it comprises of Quranic Laws and laws legislated in
sunnah, all the legal and knowledge of legal and illegal things, Sha’riah.

ۚ‫ ميبزلكيههمب‬Sanctified them, magnify them manners and characters.


‫ت ٱللبعهزيمز ٱللبحهكيمم‬
‫ إهتنبك بأن ب‬ He is the one with Perfect Might, Subduing Over powering
above all, there is nothing can manifest in front of Allah, Al Hakim – all qualified with
wisdom and decress

Points of Benefit
1. Allah sent Messengers to mankind
A messenger from them reminding them of verses and instructing them-
Human necessity to have guidance
Human Mind It cannot stand independently knowledge of Allah in His
names and Attributes; it cannot worship Allah except in which Allah’s has
legislated.

Wisdom in the invocation – “A messenger from amongst themselves” 


Closer to what he brings because hey know of him
Surah najm 53:2
ٓ ٢ٓ ‫ى‬ ‫حب مك م لم ٓون ن‬
‫ما ٓغ نون ت‬ ‫صا ق‬ ‫ض ت‬
‫ل ٓ ن‬ ‫ما ٓ ن‬
‫ ٓ ن‬
2. Your companion does not err, nor does he go astray;

Your – conjugation to the masses  meaning “your companions whom


you know well”
 Ibrahim invokd concerning prophet ‫ ﷺ‬is manifested, “raise a
prophet amongst them.”
 Quran  The knowledge is passed with truthfulness and trust
generations after generations until date
 None transgressed in corrupting the quran, except that they were
caught defeated
 Recitation meaning, laws, objective of shariah, insight sanctification
of manners and characters, all of it from the quran is preserved
 Prophet said, “I have been sent to perfect noble characters.”
 Quran commands goodness, refrain from sin, keeping relationship
with kith, truthfulness, every good in his religion and worldy affairs,
calls to refrain from every evil, refrain from sin , transgression like
cheating ill treatment to parents, lying- all of this is inclusive of
answer to ibrahim’s dua “to sanctify” them – yuzakkeehim
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Pre islamic Life worship :Shirk and disbelief  social conditions  strong
overpowering the weak, rich over the poor, indulging inusury, fights, disparaging
lineages – islam abolished all of this.
This is proof of sha’riah in Islam- transformed society and broguth progress, anything
benefical to man was placed in proper perspective, bringing forth goodness and
repelling evil – “jalbul Masalih wa darbul mafasad”

2. Affirmation of Analogy
Analogy which is correct is accepted
Parables are covered in the qruan, parables described in sunnah – testitify for
affirmation of analogy
Propeht used to mention physical perception with analogy to matter hand

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
‫"‏‬While we were with the Prophet, a man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, a
black boy has been born to me.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'How did that happen?'
He said: 'I do not know.' He said: 'Do you have camels?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'What
color are they?' He said: 'Red.' He said: 'Are there any gray camels among them?' He
said: 'There are some gray camels among them.' He said: 'Where do they come from?'
He said: 'I do not know, O Allah's Messenger! Perhaps it is hereditary.' He said:
'Perhaps this is also hereditary.' Because of this, the Messenger of Allah decreed the
following: 'It is not allowed for a man, to disown a child who was born on his bed, unless
he claimed that he had seen an immoral act (Fahishah).'‫"‏‬

Sahih Bukhari vol 7 225, Sunan an-Nasa'i 3480, Sahih (Darussalam)

3. Tawassul Seeking nearness to Allah by His names


Al Azeez and Al Hakim are mentioned in this verse affirming Might and
wisdom Two attributes of Allah
Tafseer Surah Baqarah

b) Might of subduing and Overpowering – Izzatul qahrin wa ghalabah
c) Might of Impossibility  Izzatum imtina’ :impossible for any imperfection or
defect be attributed to Him Himself, Names and Attributes.

8. They say: If we return to Medina, the mighty will surely drive out the meaner
therefrom; and to Allah belongs the might and to His Messenger and to the believers,
but the hypocrites do not know. Surah munafiqun
Affirmation of Hikma or wisdom – placing things in their proper place, conditions and
settings.
Wisdom and its types

1. Wisdom in creating things according to certain quality and description or


manner
2. Wisdom in objective to a certain thing.

 Wisdom is in legal matters and in pre-decree.


e.g.
Moon -
Wisdom of Creation/ Pre-decree
Allah placed an orbit, made it traverse in accordance with certain laws. The apparent
size as seen and brightness increases till it reaches a point before starting to fade away.
When we see brightness diminishing or wanning we determine the date of the month
accordingly.
Wisdom of Objective
Objective behind the laws of the Moon – we know the number of years and months –
Lunar calendar
Wisdom of Creation – creation of moon with certain features, attributes and qualities.
Wisdom of Objective – wisdom in keeping track of years,days and months by its
phases.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Prayer or Salah –
Wisdom of Creation / Pre-decree –
manner of prayer has great wisdom in the way manifested – standing before Allah-
recitation of His word, invoking Him, bowing- to know the strength of magnifying of
Allah; Prostration –highest point to lowest point with forhead on ground; the most
honourable feature of face to the ground –signifies humbleness and humility.
Wisdom of Objective/ legaislative motives – Happiness in this life and here-after. Salah
gives solace and help in times of all calamities. Salah instill patience and perseverance.
Legislative Motives 29:45  “ Salah prevents from great sins and evil.”
None can prevent His pre-decree, Universal decrees is entirely His:

invoker and the invoked. Surah Hajj 22:73
None can oppose His Pre-decree- destructive storms, floods and natural calamities
brings damges to what Allah wills to be destroyed
Universal decree is inevitable, unchangeable.
Legal decree or Hukm shar’ee – May change or may not; man may change it, but
Allah’s legislation remains, although he maybe punished.
Al hakim – the name of Allah is from Hukm or decree and Al Kihma or Wisdom
3. All Might belongs to Allah
Might can only br sought from Him
Might requires two Things
a) Uprightness Upon deen of Allah
b) Invocation for Might

measure.
Allah knows what is best for us more thant ourselves. Legal legislations are based upon
wisdom,hence we should submit to them opposing them is falsehood and foolishness.
Universal decree and Legal decree belongs to Allah –then you will become a submitting
Muslim openly, inwardly, hidden and apparent.

Ibrahim is chosen above all propehts except Prophet ‫ﷺ‬
Allah chose him in this life, here-after from righteous
Is there benefit of having chosing between here-after over this life?
There maybe benefit,since this life is full of desires and cannot always stay
upright.The here-after is different in one party being righteous and other not
eventhought the kafir will believe then. The disbeleivers will be subjected to
the fire “ alaisa hadah bil haqqai qala bala wa rabbina” is this not truth ?
they will reply: “Yes by our Lord !”similarly in surah Ghafir 40:50; 42:56
The disbelievers did believe in the hereafter but they are not righteous.
If this benefit is true then this is from grace of Allah, if not all knowledge is
with Allah and there must be a benefit which we don’t know

sons: What will you serve after me? They said: We will serve your god and the
god of your fathers, Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq, one Allah only, and to Him do
we submit.

Were you ? – you here are Jews and Christians who claimed to
follow Prophet ibrahim and said that he was yahud as claimed by
Jews or Christians claimed he was Christian.
Yaqoub had 12 children, gathered them to extol them to Tawheed
worship of Allah alone.
Jama’u baina tawheed wa amal- he combined both tawheed and
action

What is the wisdom of asking them “were you there?”

It means you al were not there, teaching them of what they had no
knowledge. Yaqub was not a Christian nor a Jews since he
worshiped and enjoined it on his progeny.

challenges them to bring their ‘book’ which is authentic affirmed by
the messengers. They don’t have it, as prophet listened to the quran
from prophet.
The Qur’anic Argument – “if you were not there during the time of
yaqub and you don’t have the original book which was during their
time existing till date then why do you claim that yaqub was a Jew or
Christians?”
Yaqub is the son of Is-haq and the son of Ibrahim
Ibrahim father of Ismaeel and Yaqub their offspring –Noble
messengers took this covenant as Last Will
Forefathers set an example fto future generations

Disbelievers who oppose the messengers choose forefathers over


messengers, whereas the believers favor the messengers over their
others they believed in their forefathers because they were
messengers.
How many Muslims adhere to their religion because their parents
made a Wasiyyah upon it!

Benefits of the Verse

1) Allah chose the Deen is appropriate upright way for the slaves
hence Allah chose it for them
2) Actions are by their ends- as the verses translates ;”Don’t die
except in state of Islam.”
3) One shoud be kind in addressing and conversation in order to be
accepted in his call, because they(fathers) said “Ya banniyya” –
“Oh My Sons”
4) Person should be keen to continue path of islam –istimrar ithbaat
ul islam
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
One should not take it as awave experience or let’s check it out! Rather
it is a covenant as the prophets took it.
Ibrahim and Yaqoob father of children of Israel, the two noble
messengers considered it as will for their sons. We too should follow
their example.

134. This is a people that have passed away; they shall have what they earned and you
shall have what you earn, and you shall not be called upon to answer for what they did.
Tafsir’ Sa’di pdf.67 arabic
Jews and Christians always claimed that they followed so and so, so Allah retorted to
them “they are people who have passed away…” there is no benefit of claiming so and
so was from amongst you or boasting of attributing these nations to your beliefs. In
other words, there is no benefit in priding over their actions. Each one will be held
accountable for what he reaps not what he prides or curses over past nations. They will
not be asked about you and you won’t about them.
Just being happy upon statements merely we are following so and so prophet without
action has no reality. Rather what is mandatory upon you is to look upon your path, will
it succeed of not?
Some hold Jesus saved them or a saint saved them theses are just claims, claiming to
follow a person or path merely does not help him earn Jannah. A person’s actions will
be known to him that day.
Prophet said, “Whoever’s action makes him back will not be forwarded by his lineage.”

Narrated Abu Hurairah:
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
that the Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said: "Whoever alleviates a burden among the
burdens of the world for his brother, Allah alleviates a burden among the burdens
of the Day of Judgement for him. And whoever covers (the faults) of a Muslim,
Allah covers him in the world and in the Hereafter. And whoever makes things
easy for one in dire straits, Allah makes things easy for him in the world and the
Hereafter. Allah is helping as long as the (His) Slave is helping his brother. And
whoever takes a path to gain knowledge, Allah makes a path to Paradise easy for
him. And no people sit in a Masjid reciting Allah's Book, studying it among
themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them and they are enveloped
in the mercy, and surrounded by the angels. And whoever is slow in his deeds, his
lineage shall not speed him up."
Jami Tirmidhi Vol. 5, Book 43, Hadith 2945, Sahih

135. And they say: Be Jews or Christians, you will be on the right course. Say: Nay! (we
follow) the religion of Ibrahim, the Hanif, and he was not one of the polytheists.

Tafsir Sa’di

Ibrahim was upon tawheedhaneefan- “Upon tawheed”. Claiming islam without


actions, is of no benefit.

Statement is only considered when it is followed by action or


else it is invalid
“Why do you say that which you don’t do?”
Some popel in grave will say we heard people say it and we
said it “samaitu naas wa qultu” they would say this because
they didn’t follow it
Attaching to any following is not what is wanted.
Tafseer Surah Baqarah
353
Kullu nafsin bima kasabath raheena everyone is one with
what he does
Bal il insaanu ala nafsi baseera wa lau alqa ma’adheera”
Man knows about himself even if he offers lame excuses.

136. Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which had been revealed to us, and (in) that
which was revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and (in)
that which was given to Musa and Isa, and (in) that which was given to the prophets
from their Lord, we do not make any distinction between any of them, and to Him do we
submit.
