Q: Why should the disbelievers contemplate about Allah and the Qur'an?
A: Say (command to Prophet Muhammad): I do advise you with one (advice): To make an effort (to think) about
Allah, in pair or individually and then to contemplate that your companion
(Muhammad) is not possessed (controlled by evil); Yet he is only a warner to you of a coming severe punishment. Say: I
have not asked you for a reward which is yours; My reward is only due from Allah and He is A Witness over everything;
Say if I (Prophet Muhammad) misguide then indeed
I will but misguide my own self and if I am guided it is with what My God is revealing (Qur'an) to me for He is
Listening, nearby; And only if
you could see (on Day of Judgement) when they (disbelievers) are terrorized and there is no escape and they were taken
(to Hell) from a near-by place (where they were judged); And they will say we have Faith in it (the Truth) and how could
they get engaged (in Truth) from a far away place (the Other World); And they had before disbelieved in it (Truth) and
they were abusing the Unseen (Allah, His Message and messengers) from a far away place (Life); And it was separated
between them and what they wish as was done with their parties (Pharaoh etc) for they were in questionable doubt.

Q: Some people say there is no God and some say there is a God but still they partner with Him by praying to the names of other
gods or masters, are they confused?
A: Say (command to Prophet Muhammad) who is the God of the Heavens and the earth? Say: Allah. Say: And you have
taken ,leaving Him (Allah), masters who
do not own the power to make benefit or harm to their own selves. Say: Is the blind equal to the one who can see? Or are
the depths of darkness equal to the light? Or did they (disbelievers) make
with Allah partners who created
like His (Allah's) creation so the creation became indistinct (who created what)?! Say Allah is The Creator of
everything and He is The One and The All-Overwhelming (with overpower that makes one cry).

Q: As a Mircacle why is the Qur'an simplified for Miracles are supposed to be difficult?
Note: Remember that the Qur'an is a Miracle that no one can say or write
like it.
A: Before them (disbelievers nowadays) the People of (Prophet) Noah (= Nooh) rejected; So they accused of lying Our servant and
they
said a mad person and he was rebuked; So he called upon His God I am overcome so help me; Then We opened the Gates of the
Heaven with pouring water; And We made the earth gush out springs so the water met for a matter that was decreed
beforehand;
And We carried him on (Ark) of planks and nails; Running under Our Eyes (Care) as a reward for
who was rejected. And We left it a miracle so is there one who remembers (the warning); So how was My punishment and warnings (before
the punishment); And We (Allah) simplified the Qur'an for (delivering) the Message (of Allah = AlThikr*) so is
there one who remembers;
The People of Aad rejected so
how was My punishment and warnings? We sent upon them a squeaking wind in a day of continuous omen (misfortune); It
was plucking out people like
the pulled out stumps of palm trees; So how was My punishment and warnings? And We (Allah) simplified the
Qur'an for (delivering) the Message so is
there one who remembers;
The people of Sthamud rejected the warnings; And they said one
person (Prophet Salih) from us should we follow? We are indeed in wrong and madness. The Message has been sent
down upon him from among us? No! But he is a liar, ungrateful! They will know tomorrow who is the liar, the ungrateful!
We are sending the camel as an ordeal trial for them so anticipate from them and endure! And tell them that the water is
a sharing out between them (people - Camel)**: Every drinking is attended (in turns). Then they called their companion so he
handled (sword) and he slaughtered. So how was My punishment and warnings?
We sent upon them a single scream (by
Angel Gabriel) so they became like the dry stalks of the barn maker. And We (Allah) simplified the
Qur'an for (delivering) the Message so is
there one who remembers; The People of (Prophet) Lut rejected the warnings. We sent on them a
wind with stones (hurricane) except the
family of Lut; We (Allah) saved
them at dawn; A favour from Us, that is how We reward whoever thanks. And he (Prophet Lut) had warned them about
Our violent attack so they doubted the warnings. And they seeked to tempt*** him about his guests (angels in shape of
men) so We obliterated (destroyed) their eyes so taste My punishment and warnings. And a settled (constant) punishment
met them in the early morning; So taste My punishment and warnings. And We (Allah) simplified the
Qur'an for (delivering) the Message so is
there one who remembers; And the warnings reached the people of Pharaoh (Phiroun): They rejected Our Signs - all of them,
so We
punished them the punishment of AlMighty, The All-Powerful; So are your disbelievers (other than the mentioned) better
than those
or do you have amnesty (innocence) in the Psalms (Heavenly Holy Books); Or do they say that we are all one - victorious;
The
crowd will be defeated and they will turn their back; Yet The Hour (Day of Judgment) is their appointment and The
Hour is more disastrous and more bitter; The criminals are in a loss and madness; The Day they will be pulled in Hell
upon their faces: Taste the touch of Saqar (rank in Hell); We (Allah) everything created it with measurement; And Our Command
is not except one as a twinkling of the eye;
And We had destroyed your parties so is there a warned; And everything they
did is in the Books (of writing angels); And every small and big (action) is (already) recorded (in
Allah's Initial Record)****; Indeed the ones who protect themselves by fearing Allah are in Gardens of
Paradise and river; On a truthful seat near All-Powerful Proprietor.

Q: How did the disbelievers mock the Qur'an at the time of the Prophet Muhammad?
Note: Previously posted with the Question: Why did Allah not punish the Pagan Arabs at the time
of the Prophet Muhammad?
A: And when they (polytheists) said Our God if this (Qur'an) is the Truth from You then shower us with a rain of
stones from the Heaven or bring us a severe punishment; And Allah was not going to punish them and you (Prophet
Muhammad) are among them and Allah was not going to punish them and they* were praying (to Allah) for Forgiveness**.
Translation of: Ayat 32 - 33, Surat AlAnfal.
* Polytheists of Arabia worshipped Allah, called upon Him and asked Him for Forgiveness. But they did not want to
stop joining idols in their worship of Allah. This worship practice made them one kind of disbelievers called
"mushrikeen" = polytheists (worshipping with Allah other god(s).

Q: When did Allah punish the old nations that became extinct?
A: And We did not sent before you (Muhammad) except men We reveal to them among the people of the towns. So
haven't they (current disbelievers) walked on earth and thought how the ending of those before them was; And The
Other World is better for those who have feared Allah, so won't you understand? When the prophets had lost hope and
they thought that they were treated as liars; Our support would have reached them, and whoever We willed will be
saved and Our violent power will not be driven away from the sinning (criminal) people. There was in their stories a
lesson for men of understanding; It (Quran) was not a speech being made up; Instead it is a confirming of what is before it and a
detailing of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for the people who have faith.

Q: If disbelievers see a miracle happening in front of them, will they have faith then?
A: And We had sent (messengers) before you (Prophet Muhammad) among the sects (parties) of the ancients. And no
prophet had reached them but they were making fun of him; That is how We (Allah) make it (The Message) pass in
the hearts of the sinners: They will not believe in it, And passed away the way of the ancient people (was the same). And if We
had opened for them a gate from the Heaven and they remained climbing up in it, they would say: Our eyes have
been intoxicated in fact we are bewitched people (under magic).

Q: What was the regular debate between each prophet and the disbelievers from his people?
A: Have the news not reached you of those who were before you: The people of Noah and Aad and
Sthamud and those after them whom no one knows them except Allah; There prophets came to them with the Clear Signs
(of Allah's Existence) so
they put their hands in their mouths (doubted) and said for we have disbelieved in what you were sent with; And we
are in a questionable doubt of what you are calling us for; Their prophets said is there doubt in Allah - The
Creator of the Heavens and the earth - He is calling you to forgive you your sins and He is delaying you to a fixed
time - They said you are not but people like us - You want to prevent us from what our forefathers were worshipping so
bring
us about a clear authority (miracle-type); Their prophets said we are only people like you but Allah grants favour to whoever He
wills from his devout people - And it was not right for us to bring you an authority except with permission from Allah and
upon Allah let the people with Faith depend;
And why should we not put our trust in Allah and He had guided us to our Ways (= subulana)
(ways of worship to follow) and we will certainly be patient with what you harmed us and upon Allah let the dependants
(with Faith) depend; And those who
disbelieved said to their prophets we would certainly cast you out from our land or for sure you return to our
(sect of) religion so Allah revealed to them that We are indeed going to make the transgressors perish; And We will make
you live in the land after
them - That is for who feared My (Allah's) Status and who feared the warning.

Q: What will be the excuse of the disbelievers on the Day of Judgment?
A: And the Day the Hour (Day of Judgement) takes place the sinners will swear that they stayed only one
hour; That is how they were deluded (away from Allah's Path). And those who have been given Knowledge and Faith will say: Indeed you had
stayed in the Record of Allah to the Day of the Resurrection so this is the Day of the Resurrection but you were not
knowing! So that Day their excuse will not be of use to those who became tyrannical and they will not be rebuked. And
We set to people in this Qur'an from every example;
And if you (Prophet Muhammad) bring them a line (of the Qur'an) those
who disbelieved would say you are but rejectors (to our traditions); That is how Allah stamps upon the
hearts of those who do not know. So (to Prophet Muhammad) be patient; The promise of Allah is really true and do not be
fooled by those who are not certain about their belief (about Allah's Promise).

Q: Why do some people who were believers in Allah turn into disbelievers and reject Allah or partner with Him?
A: Whoever disbelieves in Allah after having Faith except who is forced (to disbelieve) but his heart is
peaceful with Faith - But whoever makes a chest widened with disbelief (satisfied) so on them is the anger of
Allah and for them is a severe punishment; That is because they preferred Life in this world to the Life in the
Other World and Allah does not guide the disbelieving people; Those are whom Allah had stamped on their hearts and their
hearing and their eyesight and those are the inattentive (unaware); No doubt that they are in the Other World -
they are the losers.

Q: Are people tested by Allah with troubles?
A: And when a chapter (from the Qur'an) is sent down so from them who says which one of you has this one (chapter)
added to his faith. As for those who have faith so it has added to their faith and they are rejoicing with the good news;
And as for those in whose hearts is an illness (hypocrisy and paganism) so it has added them filth upon their impurity and they died while being infidels.
Have they not seen that they are put to ordeal (painful) testing (from
Allah) every year once or twice and still
they do not repent and they do not remember Allah. And if a chapter (from the Qur'an) is sent down they look at one
another: Is someone watching you? Then they went away; May Allah distract (from the Truth) their hearts for being people who
do not understand.

A: --- and there is no God but One God and if they do not stop what they are saying a severe punishment
will befall those who disbelieved from them. So wii they not repent to Allah and pray to Him for forgiveness and Allah is

Q: How does Allah show that the disbelievers have no excuse to disbelieve in Him?
A: So remind (command to Prophet Muhammad) because by your God's favour you are not a fortune-teller
neither a possessed man. Or do they say 'a poet! We are expecting him to meet with a misfortune brought by time.' Say: Expect and
I am with you from the expectants. Or do their brains order them to this? Or are they people who
transgress beyond bounds. Or do they say he (Prophet Muhammad) made it up? No! But they do not believe! So let them
bring about a speech like it if they were truthful. Or were they created from nothing? Or are they the
creators? Or did they create the Heavens and the Earth? No! But they are not certain about their faith (in Allah)! Or do
they have the treasures of your God? Or are they the dominant? Or do they have a stairway (to Heaven) they can listen
in it so let their listener bring about a clear proof! Or does He (Allah) have the girls and they have the boys? Or
do you ask them for a payment so they are from a debt burdened? Or do they have the Unseen so they are writing
(what will happen)! Or do they want to plot but the ones who disbelieved are the plotted against! Or do they
have a god other than Allah? Glory to Allah from what they partner (with Him)!

Accumulated clouds! So leave them until they meet their Day (of Judgment) when they will be thunderstruck;
The Day their plotting will not avail them anything and they will not be supported. And for those who
transgressed a punishment* other than that but most of them do not know! And (command to
Prophet Muhammad) be patient with the rule of your God because you (Prophet Muhammad) are under Our care; And glorify
the praise of your God when you rise up (during the day); And (a part) from the night do glorify Him and at the setting
of the stars (dawn).

with pebbles* so you will know how a
warning (of Allah) is? And those before them rejected (Faith) so how was a condemnation (of Allah)? --- Or who is this
who is an army of you supporting you other than The Merciful (Allah); But the disbelievers are in arrogant deception,
Or who is this who provides you with sustenance if He (Allah) held back His sustenance? But they insisted (on disbelief)
with insolence and hate. So the one who walks falling on his face (because of bumpy way) is more guided or the one who walks
steadily on a Straight Path (Path of Allah)? Say: He is Who created you and provided you with the hearing and the eyes
and the hearts; Little is what you thank for! Say: He is Who scattered you throughout the earth and to Him you
will be gathered (on Day of Judgement).

Q: What argument does a disbeliever make while his own body carries the answer to the argument?
A: So (to Prophet Muhammad) do not let their
words grieve you; We do know what they are concealing and what they are revealing. Has not
the human being seen that We (Allah) created him from a drop of sperm then he is (surprisingly) an explicit opponent.
And he made a comparison for Us while he forgot his (own) creation. He said: Who is going to give life to the bones
when they become decayed? Say: Who has created them the first time will make them alive and He is with every creation
Knowledgeable. He Who has made for you out of the green tree* fire so you are able from it to kindle fire. Is not He
Who created the Heavens and the Earth capable of creating the like of such people; Yes! He is The Creator, The
Knowledgeable. Indeed His order when He wills something is to say Be and it is (done). So glory to Him in Whose Hand
is the control of everything and to Him you will be brought back.

Q: All the prophets from Allah came with the same Message. Does history repeat itself with the disbelievers?
A: The people of (Propeht) Noah rejected as liars who were sent as messengers; When their
brother Noah told them will you not protect yourselves by fearing (Allah); For I am to you an honest messenger;
So prtoect yourselves by fearing Allah and obey me; And I do not ask you any reward for it for my reward is with the
God of the inhabitants of the worlds. So protect yourselves by fearing Allah and obey me; They said shall we believe
in you and the lowest (among us) have followed you; He said and what is my knowledge of what
they were doing; It is that their account is only with my God if you are aware; And I will
not drive the believers away; For I am only a clear warner; They said if you do not stop O Noah you will be from
the stoned; He said my God my people have rejected me as a liar; So judge between me and them with a firm
judgment and save me and who are with me among the believers; So We saved him and who is with him in the loaded
Ark; Then We drowned the rest who remained behind; Indeed in that is a Miraculous Sign (= Ayah) and most of them
were not believers; And indeed your God is the AlMighty, the Most-Merciful;
(The People of) "Aad" rejected as liars who were sent as messengers; When their brother (Prophet) Hood told them
will you not protect yourselves by fearing (Allah); For I am to you an honest messenger; So protect yourselves by
fearing Allah and obey me; And I do not ask you any reward for it for my reward is upon the God of the inhabitants of
the worlds; Are you (aware of) building in every high place a
landmark (tower)* to play around uselessly; And you take up fine buildings so that you might live forever;
And when you
attack you attack like tyrants; So protect yourselves by fearing Allah and obey me; And protect yourselves by
fearing Who provided you with everything you know; He
provided you with livestock and sons; Gardens and springs; For I fear for you the punishment of a
severe day; They said it is the same for us if you warn or if you were not from the warners; For this is only the
morals (lessons) of the ancient people; And we are not going to be punished; Then they rejected him as a liar so
We destroyed them - indeed in that is a Miraculous Sign and most of them were not believers; And indeed your God
is The AlMighty, the Most-Merciful;
The people of Sthamud rejected as liars who were sent as messengers; When their brother (Prophet) Salih told them: Will
you not protect yourselves by fearing (Allah); For I am to you an honest messenger; So protect yourselves by
fearing Allah and obey me; And I do not ask you
any reward for it; My reward is upon the God of the inhabitants of the worlds; Are you going to be left secure in what you
have here; In gardens and springs; And fields and palm trees their dates are agreeable; And you carve from the
mountains houses pompously (arrogantly); So protect yourselves by fearing Allah and obey me; And do not submit to
the order of the transgressers (against Allah); Who corrupt
on earth and do not repair; They said indeed you are from the bewitched; You are not but a human like us so
bring us a Miraculous Sign if you were from the truthful; He said this is a she-camel** for her a drinking turn
and for you a drinking turn of a recognized day; And do not touch her with any harm otherwise the punishment of
a severe day will get you. So they slaughtered her then they became regretful; So the punishment took them indeed
in that is a Miraculous Sign and most of them were not believers; And indeed your God is the AlMighty,
the Most-Merciful;
The people of Lut rejected as liars who were sent as messengers; When their brother Lut told them will you
not protect yourselves by fearing (Allah); For I am to you an honest messenger; So protect yourselves by
fearing Allah and obey me; And I do not ask you any reward for it for my reward is upon the God of the inhabitants
of the worlds. Are you (aware of) having intercourse with the males among people and you leave what your God created for you from your wives - rather you are transgressing (unjust
to Allah and humanity) people; They said really if you do not stop O Lut you will be from the cast out; He said I am of your work from
the detesters; My God save me and my family from what they are doing; So We saved him and all of his family; Except
an old woman (his wife) is (going to be) from the past. And We destroyed the rest; And We showered them with a
proper rain (of Allah's stones) and how horrible was the rain of the forewarned; Indeed in that is a Miraculous Sign
(= Ayah) and most of them were
not believers; And indeed your God is the AlMighty, the Most-Merciful;
The companions of The Small Wood*** (= As hab AlAykah) rejected as liars who were sent to them; When (Prophet)
Shuaib
told them will you not protect yourselves by fearing (Allah); For I am to you an honest messenger; So do protect
yourselves by fearing Allah and obey me; And I do not
ask you for it any reward for my reward is upon the God of the inhabitants of the worlds; And be adequate in the
measurement and
do not be from those who cause loss; And weigh with accuate scales; And do not deprive people what is theirs and do not
act wickedly corrupting in the land; And protect yourselves by fearing the One Who created you and the past generations; They said you are
from the bewitched; And you are not except a human like us and we think you are certainly from the liars; So bring
down on
us pieces of punishment from the sky if you were from the truthful; He said My God knows best what you are doing;
So they
rejected him as a liar then the punishment of the Day of the Shade**** took them for it was the suffering of
a grave day; Indeed in that is a Miraculous Sign but most of them were
not believers; And your God is the AlMighty, the Most-Merciful;
And it (Qur'an) is a sending down from the God of the inhabitants of the worlds; The Honest Spirit (Gabriel) came
down with it; Upon your
(Prophet Muhammad's) heart so that you become from the warners; In a fully developed (clear) Arabic tongue; And it
(Qur'an) is (mentioned) in the (original) Scriptures
(Psalms) of the former people.
Translation of: Ayat 105 - 196, Surat AlShuara'.
* A tower for pigeons.
** There was a drought. Poor people and their cattle were deprived from their right to have water. So the she-camel
was sent as a test.
*** the Companions of the Small Wood lived near the Cities of the Plains (Sodom and Gomorrah). Prophet Shuaib was
sent to them and to the tribe of Madyen.
**** After many hot days they gathered under the shade of a big cloud. They liked the cool breeze at first then
they were burnt in fire because of an earthquake.

Q: Who disputes in the lines of the Qur'an?
A: (The Qur'an) Sending down from Allah, the AlMighty, the Knowledgeable. The Forgiver of sins and the
Acceptor of Repentance; Severe in Punishment, Infinite in Bounty; There is no god but He; To Him is the
destiny (end). No one disputes in the lines of Allah except those who disbelieved, so do not be deceived by their
movements back and forth (for business) across the land. The people of Noah (Nooh) rejected
(faith) as lies and the communities after them (did also); And every nation reached the point of removing its
messenger and they disputed with Falsehood to disprove the Truth; So I (Allah) took them away and how was my
punishment!
And this way the word of your God has been fulfilled upon those who disbelieved that they are the companions of
Fire (Hell).

Q: Why do people continue to worship idols (statutes)?
A: And this (Qur'an) is a blessed Message; We (Allah) had sent it down and you are rejectors of it! And
We gave Abraham (Ibraheem) his maturity (of the mind) from before (being a prophet); And We were well
acquainted with him.
When he said to his father and his people: What are these statutes that you are addicted to them? They said: We
found our forefathers worshipping them. He said: Indeed you and your forefathers had been in clear error. They
said: Have you brought us the truth or are you from the players? He said: But your (true) God is the God
of the Heavens and the Earth Who created them and I am upon that from the witnesses. And by God I will plot
against your idols after you turn your backs going away. So he broke them into pieces except the biggest of them
so that they might to it refer. They said: Who did this to our gods? Indeed he is from the offenders. They said:
We heard a boy talking about them; He is called Abraham. They said: So bring him in front of the eyes of the
people so that they may witness (his trial). They said: O Abraham! Did you do this to our gods? He said:
Rather their biggest had done it, so ask them if they can talk. So they turned to themselves so they said: You
are the offenders. Then they lowered their heads (with shame) (and said): You knew Those can not speak. He
said: So you are worshipping other than Allah what does not benefit you anything neither does it harm you? I am
bored of you and what you are worshipping other than Allah, so will not you use your brains? They said: Burn
him and support your gods if you are going to do (it). We (Allah) said: O Fire! Be cool and safe for Abraham.
And they planned against him but We made them the greater losers. And We delivered him and Lut* to the land
near Syria that We blessed it for all people; And We gave him Isaac (Is'haq) and
Jacob (Issac's son) as an additional gift; And made each one of them righteous. And We made them religious
leaders who guide according to Our (Allah's) command; And We revealed to them the doing of the righteous deeds
and the performing of the prayer and giving of the charity (Zakat) and they were to Us worshippers.

Q: Why does Allah say that man is created hasty?
A: And when the disbelievers see you (Muhammad) they will but ridicule (make fun) you: Is this who talks of
your gods?! And at the mentioning of the Most-Merciful they are rejectors of Faith. The human being is created hasty.
Soon I will show you My signs so do not make haste! And they say: When is the Promise (Day of Judgment) if you
were truthful? Only if the disbelievers knew when they will not be able to ward off the fire from their faces or
their backs and they will not be helped. Yet it (Day of Judgment) will come upon them suddenly and it will make them
speechless; So
they can not push it away nor will they be given time. And the prophets before you (Muhammad) werw ridiculed so
those who mocked from them (disbelievers) had suffered because of what they were ridiculing.

Q: According to Allah's standards what is the base that without it all good deeds of a human being become of no use to him?
A: Allah, the Creator of everything and He is over everything a Controller; To Him belongs the keys (control) of
the Heavens and the earth and those who disbelieved in the lines of Allah those are the losers; Say (command to Prophet
Muhammad) do you then other than Allah order me to worship - you ignorant ones; And
it was revealed to you (Prophet Muhammad) and to those (prophets) before you if you join partners (with Allah) your work (good
deeds) will come to fail and you will be from the losers; Rather (only) Allah do worship and be from the grateful.

Q: What is the argument that Allah made against the disbelievers who believe in anything other than Allah?
A: He (Allah) is Who created you from one soul and He made from it its mate so that he rests with her.
So when he lied with her she became pregnant with a light pregnancy so she passed with it (unnoticed); So when she
became heavy they both prayed to Allah their God: If you grant us a righteous (child) we will be from the grateful So
when He granted them a righteous (child) they made parnters with Him in what He granted them; So exalted is Allah High
above what they partner whith. Do they partner (with Allah) what does not create anything and they are created! And they
cannot support them (humans) neither can they support themselves. And if you call them for The Guidance (from Allah)
they will not follow you; It is the same for them if you all call them or you are silent.
For those whom you call
upon other than Allah are servants (creation (people) = ibad) like you so call them and let them listen to you if they were
truthful. Do they (idols, humans, nature force, self and other forms of partnership) have legs with which they walk or hands with
which they attack or do they have eyes with which they see or do they have ears with which they hear?! Say (command to
Prophet Muhammad): Call upon
your partners (with Allah) then plot against me (Propeht Muhammad) and do not wait for me. Say: For my Protector is Allah Who
has sent down The Book and He is The Protector the righteous. And those whom you call upon other than Him (Allah) they
cannot support you neither can they support themselves; And if you call them to The Guidance (from Allah) they will
not hear and you see them looking at you and they cannot see. So (command to Prophet Muhammad) seek forgiveness and order
what is right and turn away from the ignorant!
Translation of: Ayat 189 - 199, Surat AlA'raf.
Note: According to Hasanain Muhammad Makhlouf, Ex-Mufti (ex-chief religious scholar) of Egypt, these lines initially
refer to
Adam and Eve. They did not want their children to die so they listened to the whispering of Satan. They called their
two sons 'AbdulHarasth' = Servant of AlHarasth, as Satan was known (AlHarasth) among the angels. So by
naming their sons with this name, they both partnered with Allah through the name only not the actual worship of Satan.

Q: What is the main reason that makes most of the disbelievers not believe in Allah?
A: Haven't you seen that Allah had made what is in the Heavens and what is in the Earth yield for you (for
your benefit); And He has bestowed upon you amply His favours - seen and unseen; And from people who disputes
in Allah without knowledge and without Guidance (from Allah) and without an enlightening Book (Holy Book from
Allah). And if it was said to them to follow what Allah has sent down they say: But we will follow what we found
our fathers upon even if Satan was calling them to the punishment of the Blazing Fire.(Hell).

Q: In life when one has the copyright of a work or a patent of an invention no one else can claim it. What are Allah's blessings
on humans and has anyone else claimed what Allah had made and where is the proof?
Note: Remember the Qur'an is not mythology or human-made.
A: The Command (Day of Judgment) of Allah has advanced so do not hasten it; Glory to Him Who is High above what they partner with
him. He sends down the angels through The Spirit (Gabriel = Jibrail)* with His Command upon whoever He wills from
His servants to warn that there is no god by I (Allah) so fear Me (Allah). He created the Heavens and the earth
with rightful possession; High is He above those they partner with Him. He created man from sperm so suddenly he became
a clear opponent (to Allah); And the livestock He created them; In them warmth and benefits and from them you eat; And
for you in them beauty when you leave them to rest and when you leave them to graze. And they carry your burdens to a
land you were not going to reach it without killing yourselves with tiredness; For your God is really Kind, Most-Merciful,
And the horses, the mules and the donkeys >so as to mount them and a luxury and He creates what you do not know.
And upon
Allah is (to guide you) the Straight Path; And from them (paths) crooked and if He wills He would have guided you all.
He is Who sent down from the Heaven water ; For you from it a drink and out of it shrubs (grow) on which you let your
cattle graze freely. He (Allah) produces for you with it (water) the crop, the olives, the palm trees, the
vines and
from every fruit; For in that is really a Miraculous Sign for the people who contemplate. And He made to
yield to you the night, the day, the sun, the moon and the stars yielding with His Command; For in that really Miraculous Signs for the
people who understand. And what He scatterd on earth for you (materials) of different colours**; For in that is really a Sign for
the people who remember. And He made the sea yield so that you eat from it tender meat
(fish) and you extract from it jewelry you wear and you see the ships cutting their way through it; Also so as to seek from His favour (from
the sea) and
perhaps you may be grateful. And He set up on earth fastening mountains so as it does not shake up
with you; And
rivers and paths so that you may be guided (to Allah's Path); And landmarks and with the stars
they guide themselves; So is the One Who creates similar to the one who does not create so will you not be
advised?! And
if you number the favours of Allah you cannot count them; For Allah is the Most-Forgiving, the Most-Merciful. And Allah knows
what you hide and what you reveal;
And those whom they pray to other than Allah do not create anything and they are
created; (They are) Dead not living and they are not aware when they will be raised up; --- And those who were before them plotted so Allah
destroyed their buildings from their foundations so on them fell the roof from above them and the punishment came to
them from where they were not aware of; Then on the Day of Judgement He will humiliate them and He will say: Where are
My partners that you were disputing strongly in them (against Allah); Those who were given the knowledge will say indeed
humiliation today and misery is for the disbelievers; Those whose lives the angels take away while they being
unjust to themselves will surrender - (they say) we were not doing evil.*** Yes indeed! For Allah is All-Knowing of what
you (all) were doing. So enter the gates of Hell remaining for eternity in it and what a miserable dwelling place for the arrogant.
And those
who feared Allah were asked: What had your God sent down? They said: All that is good! To those who do good in this
Life there is good (for them) and the Other World is better and what an excellent dwelling place for the good-doers.
Translation of: Ayat 1 - 21, 26 - 30, Surat AlNahl.
* In a summary of a saying of the Prophet Muhammad: When the prophet Muhammad went with the Message of Islam to the
people of AlTa'if near Mecca they turned him away. The Prophet bleeding and in tears looked up to see the Angel
Gabriel looking down at him from a cloud. Gabriel told the Prophet that Allah has sent him to fulfill Muhammad's wish.
If Muhammad wants Gabriel will ask the angel of the mountains to close up the two mountains that
surround Mecca and its surrounding. The prophet said if Allah is satisfied with him he does not care about what has
happened to him. He added that he prays that faithful people be born from their offspring.

Q: In real human life is a slave equal to a free man?
Note: Note the strong argument!
A: And to Him (Allah) belongs whatever is in the Heavens and on earth: All to Him are submissive*; And He is Who
originates the creation then He repeats it and it is easier for him; And to Him blongs the Ideal Example in the (creation of the) Heavens and the earth and He is the Al-Mighty, The All-Wise. He (Allah) has set an
example for you from your own selves: Do you take for yourselves from your slaves
partners in what We (Allah) had provided you with, so you (both parties) are equal in it? (And) You fear (make value for) them as you
fear yoursleves?! That is how We detail the Signs for the people who understand! Yet those who are unjust
have followed their own desires without knowledge; So who is going to guide whom Allah have
left to stray.

Q: Why does Allah give the disbelievers wealth and whatever they wish for?
Note: In life if we have a slave and he continuously disobeys us we will certainly not be generous to him. But Allah's
concept of justice is different from humans.
A: Whoever wants The Quick Life (this Life) We will hasten for him in it what We (Allah) will to whoever We
want then We make for him Hell to be burnt in it disgraced, chased away (from Allah's Mercy); And whoever wants the Other
Life and he works for it its hard work while being a believer (in Allah) so those their work is appreciated (by Allah). To
both (believers and disbelievers) We do provide these and those from the grant of your God; And the grant of your
God is not restricted. Look! How We have preferred some of them upon others and the Other Life is greater
in ranks and greater in preference; Do not make with Allah another god otherwise you will end up disgraced, abandoned (no
supporter in the Other Life).

Q: When a person rejects faith in Allah is he really doing good to himself?
A: For those who disbelieved will be called (on Day of Judgment) that the hatred of Allah is greater than your
hatred of yourselves: When you were being called to the Faith (of Allah) you were rejecting it as lies. They
said (on Day of Judgment): Our God you made us dead twice* and you made us alive
twice (in womb and on Day of Judgment) so we are confessing our sins so is there a way out (from punishment)**. That
is because when Allah Alone was invoked (called) you disbelieved and when He (Allah) was partnered with*** you believed so the
Rule is to Allah, The Most High, The Most Great.
Translation of: Ayat 10 - 12, Surat Ghafir.
* Before the spirit (soul) is injected in the fetus, the fetus is created dead. Then a person dies in Life.

Q: Why should people not despair from the mercy of Allah?

Do not despair from Allah's Mercy; Indeed Allah does forgive all sins**; For He is The Most-Forgiving, The Most-Merciful.
And return to your God with repentance and submit to Him before the Punishment (of Allah) reaches you then you will not be helped.
Translation of: Ayat 53 - 54, Surat AlZumar.

Q: If Allah's justice dictates that a town will not be punished if a prophet was not sent to it, what about
Allah's punishment nowadays?
Hint: Prophet Muhammad was the last and the seal of the prophets. He was sent to humanity: "And We (Allah) did not
send you except to all mankind:
Announcing the good news (to the believers) and a warner (to the disbelievers) but most of the people are not
aware." Translation of Line 28 Chapter Saba' in the Quran.
A: So are they asking to hasten Our (Allah's) punishment?! So think of this: If We had granted them enjoyment for years
then what they were promised (punishment) reach them; It will not be of use what they were given to enjoy; And We had not destroyed towns except they had their warners: As a reminder (of Allah) and We were not unjust.

Q: Some rich polytheists who worshipped idols with Allah argued with the Prophet Muhammad that Allah had
favoured them in This Life so they certainly will be favoured in the Other Life. What does Allah say about this?
A: For the righteous there are the Gardens of Paradise with their God. So are We (Allah) going to make
the righteous equal to the sinners?! What is wrong with you: How do you judge?.Or do you have a scripture (of
disbelief) in which you study that for you through it is certainly whatever you choose! Or do you have solemn
oaths with Us binding to the Day of the Resurrection that for you will be what you decide? Ask (command to
Prophet Muhammad) them which one of them is a claimant of that?! Or do they have partners (in their claim) so let them
bring about their partners if they were telling the truth. The Day (of Judgment) when the whole matter becomes
very serious and they (disbelievers) will be asked to prostrate (bow down in worship) but
they will not be able (stiffened with fear)! Their eyesight will be cast down; humiliation will tire them out. And they
were asked to
prostrate when they were in good shape (in life)! So leave Me (Allah) Alone with whoever rejects this Word (Qur'an) as
lies:
We (Allah) will allure them (bring them gradually) from where they do not know. And I (Allah) will make them enjoy for
quite a while for My Plotting is robust (firm). Or do you (Prophet Muhammad) ask them for a payment so they are burdened with
debt? Or do they have the (World of) Unseen so they are writing (what will happen)?!

Q: Will idols and the other forms of gods that people associate with Allah defend themselves on the Day of
Judgment? What will they say?
A: And the Day We (Allah) will gather them all and then We will say to those who partnered (with
Allah): Stop! You and your partner-gods! Then we separated between them and those they joined as partners
(with Allah)
will say: You were not worshipping us! And Allah is enough for a Witness between us and you since we were about
your worship unaware! Then and there every soul will take notice of what it did in the past - and they were returned to

the people of Aad (their Propeht Hood) and the people of Sthamud (their Prophet Saleh); And the people of Abraham
(Ibraheem) and the people of Lut, and the companions of Madyen (their Prophet Shuaib) and Moses was rejected as
a liar; So I granted the disbelievers time to enjoy then I took them so how drastic it (punishment) was! And how
many towns did We (Allah) destroy when they were transgressors so they became completely empty of their
inhabitants and (there was) a deserted well and a built palace.
Have they (current disbelievers) not then traveled through the land (for contemplation) so
that they
have hearts with which they understand or ears with which they listen because it does not make the eyes blind
but it blinds the hearts which are in the chests.

Q: At the time of the Prophet Muhammad what excuse did the disbelievers make for rejecting Faith in Allah?
A: And when the Truth from Us (Allah) reached them they (Arab polytheists) said only if he (Prophet Muhammad) was given what
(Prophet ) Moses was given
(Miracles) - Did not
they reject as lies what Moses was given from before - They said two types of magic (Miracles of Moses and the Qur'an) backed each other and they said indeed we are rejecting each of them
as lies; Say (command to Prophet Muhammad) then bring about a Book from Allah that is a better Guide than both
of them (Torah and Qur'an) so that I (Prophet Muhammad) follow it if you were telling the truth; And if
they do not respond to you then let it be known to you (Prophet Muhammad) that they are indeed following their
own whims (fancy and delusive imagination) and who can be further astray (lost) than the one who follows his
own whim without

Q: Who is usually behind misleading people and making them disbelievers?
A: For Allah had cursed (uttered the oath of condemnation) against the disbelievers and He had prepared
for them a Blazing Fire; Undying in it forever: They will not find a protector or a supporter. The Day their
faces will be turned over in Fire they will say: We wish we obeyed Allah and obeyed the Prophet. And they
said (on Day of Judgment): Our God we indeed obeyed our masters and the great ones among us so
they mislead
us away from the (Straight) Path. Our God: Give them double punishment and curse them with a very big Curse!

except the Life of this World: That is their level of knowledge ; For Your God knows better
who went astray from His Path and He knows better who was guided (to the Straight Path of Allah).

Words: A'ridh = Avoid, Tawalla = Turned away, Thikr = Word of Allah - Message, Mablagh = Level -

Q: Why does not ALLah provide all disbelievers with a lot of wealth to enjoy life since there is nothing
good for them in the Other Life?
Hint: Allah knows well human nature. Allah does not want all humans to be disbelievers. If Allah had given all
disbelievers a lot of wealth without
exception, the believers would have turned into disbelievers to attain the same.
A: And they said if only this Qur'an was sent down to a distinguished man from (either of) the two towns
(near each other: Mecca and AlTa'if). Are they dividing the mercy of your God?! We have divided among them
their livelihood in this
Life and We have raised some of them above others so that some of them take others in service and the mercy of
your
God is better than what they accumulate (wealth). And were not it for people to be one nation
(of disbelivers) We (Allah)
would
have made for those who disbelieve in the Most-Merciful (Allah) for their houses roofs of silver and staircases upon
which they ascend; And for their houses gates and couches to sit on; And ornaments and all of

Q: Before rejecting Allah why should the disbeliveres contemplate in their own creation?
A: Condemned to ruin is man (disbeliever): How disbelieving he is! From what stuff He (Allah)
created him. From a drop of sperm He created him then He brought him into proportion; Then He made The
Path (of Allah) easily attainable (through truthful contemplation) then he made him dead then he made him be buried* then when He pleases he will
raise him up.
Translation of: Ayat 17 - 22, Surat Abasa.

the earth a proper splitting; So we grew in it grains, and vines and fresh vegetation; And olives
and palm trees; And gardens with thick trees; And fruits and fodder; A provision to enjoy for you
and your cattle.

Q: If there are truly gods other than Allah why will Allah punish them in Hell? Can't they defend
themselves?
Note: Disbelievers who do not believe in Allah must believe in something else: Idols and what they represent,
nature forces and what they represent or at least their own selves.
A: You (disbelievers) and what you worship other than Allah are only fuel for Hell - You are going
to get in it! If these were (really) gods they would not have got in it and all in it will
dwell forever. For them in it
sighing (of angry Fire) and they in it can not hear! Indeed for those to whom the Best Outcome (Paradise) from Us was
decreed those from it (Hell) are kept away: They do not hear its hissing and what their souls have desired
in that they will remain for eternity. They will not be grieved with the Major Terror and the angels will
meet them: This is your Day that you were promised.

A: And you (Muhammad) are calling them to a Straight Path (Allah's); And those who do not believe in
the Other Life are certainly deviated from the Path; And if We (Allah) had mercy upon them and removed what
harm they are in they would certainly persist in their transgression - wandering about (away from Allah's Path); And We had seized
them with the punishment but they did not humble themselves to their God nor were they begging (submissive to
Allah). Until We opened upon them a gate of severe punishment then they in it became
dumbfounded.

Q: Before being punished what life do the disbelieving communities lead?
A: And We had sent (messengers) to nations before you (Muhammad) and We (Allah) seized them with
misery and harm so that they might beg Allah earnestly. And if only they begged when Our Suffering reached them but
their hearts had hardened and Satan had made look good what they were doing (bad deeds); So when they forgot
what they were reminded about We opened upon them gates of everything (good) until when they
rejoiced with what they
were given We seized them suddenly so they became dumbfounded; And those who transgressed were extinguished
and Praise to Allah, the God of the inhabitants of the Worlds.

Allah will be about to send a punishment upon you and then you will call upon Him and you will not be
answered.

Q: Nowadays when people go far in their transgression against Allah why does not Allah punish them
severely as He punished the old generations of Aad, Sthamud, Pharaoh...etc.?
A: They said: O Noah (Prophet)! You disputed with us and you have prolonged our argument so bring upon us what
you are promising us if you were from the truthful! He said: It is God Who will bring it upon you
if He pleases and you are not going to make Him give up; And my good advice will not be of use to you if I
wanted to advise you if Allah wanted to let you be misguided: He is Your God and to Him you will be returned.

not they
seen that We (Allah) drive the water to the barren land so We produce with it vegetation from which their

certainly would have been Allah's devoted servants; Then they rejected it (Qur'an) as lies so they will come to
know;
And Our (Allah's) Word had been pre-uttered for our servants - the messengers; For they are certainly the
supported ones (by Allah); And that Our soldiers are the victorious ones; So turn away (command to Prophet Muhammad) from them for some
time; And give them
time for they will come to see; And with Our punishment they are hastening; But when it strikes their courtyard
so how miserable the morning of the warned people will be; So turn away from them for some tim; And (just) watch for
they will come to see.

You (masters) were coming to us
(disbelieve) from the Right*. They (masters) said: But you did not have Faith! And We did not have upon you
any authority - No! You were just people who transgressed (against Allah). So the Word of Allah has come
true that we are (altogether) certainly going to taste (the punishment). So we misguided you for we were
(ouselves) certainly misguided. So that Day in the punishment they are sharing. That is how We (Allah) do with the sinners.
For when
it was said to them there is no god except Allah they became arrogant And they were saying:
Are we going to leave our gods for the sake of a possessed poet? No! But he (Prophet Muhammad) came with
the Truth and he confirmed the prophets (before him); For certainly you are going to taste the Severe Punishment.
And you will not be repaid except for what you were doing.
Translation of: Ayat 27 - 39, Surat AlSaffat.

worship? They said: We worship idols so to them we remain bent down. He said: Do they hear you when you
pray or can they do you good or harm? They said: But we found our fathers doing the same. He said: Do you see what
you were worshipping - you and your ancient forefathers: For they are an enemy to me except the God of the
inhabitants of the Worlds - Who created me so He guides me; And Who gives me food and drink; And when I become
ill so He cures me; And Who will make me dead and He will bring me to life; And Whom I

will be swept away from our land (through wars). (Allah says) Had We not made influntial for them a safe sanctuary (AlKa'ba)** to which is
brought fruits from every kind - as a provision from Us (Allah) yet most of them do not understand. And how many
towns did We destroy because it was ungrateful to its (rich) livelihood; So those (tracks) are their houses which had
not been inhabited*** after them except a little; And We (Allah) were the Inheritors.
Translation of: Ayat 57 - 58, Surat AlQasas.
* They admitted that Islam with its Prophet Muhammad and the Holy Qu'ran is The Guidance.

Arabs of Mecca were the custodians of The Ka'ba. Arabs from all the surrounding areas were making pilgrimage to
The Ka'ba which then included around 300 idols as partners with Allah Whom the Arabs then acknowledged.
*** For example Wadi AlHijr in Saudi Arabia (= The ancient houses
of Sthamud - the people of the
Prophet Saleh). In a summary of a saying of the Prophet Muhammad: Do not
enter the places of those who were punished by Allah except when you are crying. And the Prophet used to cover
himself up and run with his companions when they had to cross the Valley of AlHijr (in Saudi Arabia) where the

created on earth? Or do they have a share (in the creation) of the Heavens
! Bring me a (Holy) Book before this* (other than Allah's Books)! Or remnant of
(real) knowledge if you are telling the truth. And who had gone more astray than the one who prays to
other than Allah that do not answer him until the Day of Judgment and they of their prayers
are unaware. And when people will be gathered (on Day of Judgment) they (worshipped) will be their
(worshippers) enemies and they will reject their worship as lies.

partnered with Allah (will be) in the Fire of Hell everlasting in it - those are the worst of mankind."
A: And the Day (of Judgment) He (Allah) will call them (who partners with Allah) so He will say where are
My partners whom you were making up; And We (Allah) pulled from every community (that joins partners with

is the negative assumption of those who disbelieve so woe (destruction) to those who have disbelieved from the Fire (Hell);
Or are We (Allah) going to make those who believed and did the righteous deeds similar to the corrupters on

(and) a prophet. When he said to his father: O my father! Why do you worship what can not
hear or see nor can it be against Allah of any help to you; O my father! For it reached me from the knowledge (from
Allah) what it did not reach you so do follow me - I will guide you to A straight Path (of Allah). O
my father! Do not worship Satan* for Satan had been to the Most-Merciful a rebel. O my father! I am
afraid that a punishment from Allah afflicts you then you will be a supporter of Satan (enemy of Allah). He
(Abraham's father) said: Are you turning away from my gods, O Abraham? - If you do not stop it I will
certainly stone you and leave me for ever. He (Abraham)** said: Peace be on you! I will call on my God
for forgiveness for you for He has been to me Gracious. And I will desert you and what you (all) call
upon other than Allah and I will call upon my God - hopefully by calling upon my God I will not
be miserable (if Allah is angry with me).

Q: What was the real reason behind drowning the disbelievers at the time of the Prophet
Noah?
A: Because of their sins they were drowned
then they were entered into Fire* so they did not find for themselves
other than Allah any supporters. And Noah said: My God! do not leave on the earth from the
disbelievers any inhabitant; For if You leave them they will mislead your servants and they will not
breed except one who leads a dissolute life (lacking restraint), too much ungrateful; My God! Grant
forgiveness to me and my parents and whoever enters my house as a believer (in Allah) and to the
male believers (anywhere) and the female believers and do not increase for the transgressors except
destruction.
Translation of: Ayat 25 - 28, Surat Noah.
Note: Remember Prophets are senstive against making sins. The Prophet
Noah will worry on
the Day of Judgement because he prayed to Allah against his people. Allah says that they were drowned not because of Noah's prayer.

* The gravest sin is disbelieving in Allah or joining partners with Allah. Turning back to Allah with sincere

(a scholar among the Prophet Muhammad's companions): The verse (line) in the Qur'an to bring the

right and if they think about every line (= ayah) they will not have faith in it and if they find the

time of the Prophet Muhammad have been convinced?

sign (ayah) came to
them they would certainly believe in it. Say (command to Prophet Muhammad): For the miraculous signs are with Allah and
what do you (believers) know about when they (signs) come they (disbelievers) are not going to have faith!
Translation of: Ayah 109, Surat AlAn'am.
Note: Narrated in the Abridged Version of 'Ibn kastheer's' Explanation of the Qur'an: The
Prophet Muhammad talked to Quraish. They said: O Muhammad! You inform us that Moses had a stick with which
he hit a stone and twelve springs of water gushed out. And you inform us that Jesus (=Eissa) could
bring the dead to life. And you inform us that the people of Sthamud had a camel as
a miracle. So bring us from the miraculous signs so we believe you. The Prophet said: Which of the signs you
like me to bring you. They said: You make the hill of 'AlSafa' into gold. The Prophet said: If I do you will
believe me. They said: yes, by God! We will follow you all of us. So the Prophet started praying to Allah. Then
Gabriel (= Jibreel) came to him and said: If you wish, 'AlSafa' will become gold and if Allah sends down
a miracle and they do not believe Allah is going certainly to punish them. And if you wish leave them until their

so-and-so as a friend; For he mislead me away from the Remembrance of

(in time of need).

of use) me; My power has been destroyed; Take him and put a collar (of iron) on him; Then admit him into
Hell; Then in a chain with a length of seventy feet do let him down; This is because he was not believing
in Allah The Great; And he was not encouraging the feeding of the needy; So he does not have today here any
friend;
Neither any food except what oozes out of the wounds (with pus); No one eats from it but the wrong doers
.
Translation of: Ayat 25 - 37, Surat AlHaqqah.
* According to AlSheikh Anwar AlAwalki's casstte 12 on "The Hereafter": Each one's record of deeds will come

and you (disbelievers) do not fear that you have joined as partners with Allah what He (Allah) has
not revealed any legitimation for (unfounded) so which of the two parties has the
right to security if only you knew. Those who believe and do not mix their faith with
transgression (against Allah) - for them is the security (from Allah) and they are the guided;
And this* is Our (Allah's) argument that We gave to Abraham (Ibraheem) against his people - We
raise ranks whoever We please for your God is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

to the sun or the moon; But prostrate to Allah Who created them if Him you are worshipping.
Translation of: Ayat 37, Surat Fusilat.

A: Truly We already sent Noah to his people so he said: My people! Worship Allah! You do not have
any (true) God except Him - for I fear upon you a punishment of a Severe Day (Day of Judgment). The assembly of
his people said: We are certainly seeing you in a manifest astray. He said: My people! I have not gone astray but I am
certainly a prophet from the God of the inhabitants of the worlds; Conveying to you mg God's Messages and advising
you and I know from Allah what you do not know.
Translation of: Ayat 59 - 62, Surat AlA'raf.
Note: How did idol worshipping start in history?
Adam was the first man on earth. He was placed on earth with Allah's Message: To submit to
Allah the One and Only (Islam). Ten centuries of Islam passed. Then people started to worship idols.
Idol worshipping started when some righteous persons died so their
people made prayer places on their graves. They drew their shapes there to remember them and their worship
as well as to keep them as righteous examples for them. As time passed they made statutes on those drawings. When more time passed
they worshipped the statutes as gods (without any genuine evidence of their being gods). They called them with the names of
the dead righteous people for example (Wadd - Sawa' - Yaghousth - Ya'ouq and Nasr). Arabs of Arabia before the
Prophet Muhammad were worshipping the same idols with
hundreds of others. Source: Mukhtasar Tafseer Ibn Kastheer. Volume 2, pages.27 - 28. Volume 3, page 554.

disbelieving leaders be responsible for?
A: Your God is One God;
So those who do not have faith in The Other Life - their hearts are in denial and they are arrogant. No
wonder that Allah knows what they hide and what they reveal - He does not like the arrogant. And
if they were asked what had your God sent down they would say: The mythologies of the ancient! Let them carry their

strange thing! And their assembly (leaders) dashed out* saying: Walk away and stay faithful to your gods for this
(worshipping One God) is aspired** (by Prophet Muhammad); We did not hear about this in the latest religion
(Christian Trinity) for this is only a fabrication; The Messge (Qur'an) was sent to him (of all persons) from among us
rather (Allah says) they are in doubt of My Message rather they have not yet tasted My punishment!
Translation of: Ayat 4 - 8, Surat Saad.
* A summary of the conditions when the mentioned Ayat were sent down: Some leaders of Quraish gathered in the house
of the Prophet Muhammad's uncle "Abu Taleb" who conveyed to the Prophet their request "to stop insulting their gods
and they
will leave the Prophet alone with his God". The Prophet said: Uncle! Shall I call them to what is better for them -
a saying with which they can make all Arabs follow them and they can with it preside over the non-Arabs." They
said: What is it? We will give you its tenfold? The Prophet said: To say "There is no god but Allah". They said: Ask us
for other than that. The Prophet said: If you bring me the sun and place it in my hand I will ask you nothing

submission of everything to Allah's Fate indicates the existence of Allah as the One and Only God.
A: And who can be more of a transgressor (against Allah) than who fabricates lies against Allah
while he is being invited to Islam (One and Only God) and Allah does not guide the transgressing people;
They want to
extinguish the Light of Allah (One and Only God) with their mouths (by lying) and Allah will be completing
His Light (Guidance to Islam)* even if the disbelievers hate it.

(submission to One God) reaching them either with the honour of an honored person or with the humilation of a

they say of the disbelievers these are rightly guided than the believers; Those are whom Allah has cursed****
and whom Allah curses then you will find for him no supporter.

* The two lines of the Qur'an were revealed when Huyey Bin Akhtab and Ka'b Bin AlAshraf, two Jews, came to Mecca.
and they were asked which are guided to the Right Path: The noble people of Quraish or the Prophet Muhammad.
Source: This is a summary of a narration in "Tafseer Ibn Kastheer", volume 1, page 721.
Note: The disbelievers usually have different levels of a portion of the
knowledge of Allah's
Religion and Satan misguides them with it. For example some know about the bad Jinn (Satan

as they claim.

magicians, (fortunetellers, evil religious leaders = Kahanah)...etc. Source : Tafseer Ibn Kastheer, volume 1,

Prophet Muhammad: Scolding and
driving away the bird (= Al'iyafah) and making a (superstitious) line on the ground (AlTarq) and evil omen
(AlTeyrah) is from "AlJibt". Source: Tafseer Ibn Kastheer, page 721. Merriam Webster's Deluxe
Dictionary defines superstition as: A belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear
of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation.
*** Any form of worship other than Allah that makes one transgress limits set by

forgiven for them what has past and if they return again then passed away the way of the ancient people*.
Translation of: Ayah 38, Surat AlAnfal.
* They will be punished like the ancient disbelieving people for history repeats itself.

(Day of Judgment) reaches you other than Allah will you call upon if you were telling the
truth; No indeed Him (Allah) you do call upon so He removes what you were calling Him for if He wills and you forget

food reaches you as sustenance provided (from Allah) to you except that I will inform you about it** before it reaches
you - that is from what my God taught me for I left the religion of a people who do not believe in Allah and in the
Other World they are disbelievers; And I followed the religion of my forefathers Abraham (Ibraheem), Isaac (Ishaq)
and Jacob (Ya'qoub) - We have no right to join with Allah anything and that is from the favour
of Allah upon us and upon all people but most of people do not thank (Allah); O my two fellow prisoners: Are
separate gods better or Allah The One, The Subduer (can make you cry); You do not worship other than Allah but
names you named them - you and your forefathers - Allah did not send down for them any authority (Book or Prophet)
for the Judgment is Allah's - He commanded that you do not worship except Him - This is the Priceless
Religion (submitting to Allah Alone) but most people do not know; O fellow prisoners: As to one of you then he will serve his master
with wine and as for the other so he will be crucified and the birds will peck at his head - the matter in which you
asked my opinion is decided.
Translation of: Ayat 37 - 41, Surat Yusuf.

Q: On the Day of Judgment what will the disbelievers say about what Allah promised them in this Life?
Note: A true scene from the Day of Judgment.

our God (Allah) promised us as true so have you found what your God (Allah) promised you as true - they said
yes then an announcer between them announced that the curse** of Allah is on the unjust people (unjust to

man-made.
A: And leave alone who took their religion as pastime as well as distraction and this Life
deluded them and do remind with it (Qur'an) lest a soul becomes restrained (= tubsal)
because of what it
earned* - for it
other than Allah there is no Protector or Mediator - and if it does all justice it will not be
accepted from it those are who became restrained because of what they earned - for them is a drink of
boiling water and a severe punishment according to what they were disbelieving.
Translation of: Ayah 70, Surat AlAn'am

Allah) neither would have our fathers and we would have not made forbidden anything** - in the same way those
who were before them told lies until they tasted Our (Allah's) Might (in Life) - say (command to Prophet Muhammad) do
you have any (certain) knowledge (as proof) so that you bring it out to us - for you only follow assumption and only
you are fabricating lies.
Translation of: Ayah 148, Surat AlAn'am.

dragged; into the very hot water then in the Fire (of Hell) they will be fired up**.

Words: In Yakad = Are about, LaYazlaqounaka = Trip you up -, LaMajnoon =

living among the believers in North America for example.
A: And We (Allah) make their hearts and their eyes roll away
as they did not have Faith in it (Qur'an) the first time (in Life)
and We leave them (in Life) in their transgression (against Allah) to wander about
.
Translation of: Ayah 110, Surat AlAn'am.
Note: On the Day of Judgment the disbelievers'
hearts and eyes will roll and turn away because of fear and
lack of Guidance (= Hidayah). They will grope for Allah's Straight Path that leads to
Paradise. It is a very narrow real Path as described by the Prophet Muhammad, but they will fall down from it into Hell.

Satan has allured them and he has deceived them; That is because they
said to those** who hated what (Qur'an) Allah sent down (to Prophet Muhammad) - we
will obey you in some matters (against the Prophet) and Allah knows their saying in secret.
Translation of: Ayat 25 - 26, Surat Muhammad (known as Surat AlQital).
* From ALLah's Path as exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad.
** :Jews of Bani AlQuraidhah and Bani AlNadheer living with the Prophet
Muhammad in AlMadinah wanted the last prophet of
Allah (as was announced in their original copy of the Scripture) to be from them. Source: Hassanain Muhammad Makhlouf, ex-Mufti of Egypt in
"Safwat AlBayan", page 648.
Note: How do you know that you are on Allah's Straight Path? Learn and
understand the details of the Qur'an. Also do not do injustice to Allah by associating any
partner with Him. Neither should you do any injustice to the Prophet Muhammad by holding anyone
as a prophet or in a status similar to the status of Allah's messengers. Remember that the
Prophet Muhammad was the seal of the Prophets (Ayah 40 in Surat AlAhzab) and he fulfilled
completely his duty of proclaiming Islam.

Messengers (of Allah); But the news (they had)* that Day became difficult for them to make out* so they
will not question each other.
Translation of: Ayat 65 - 66, Surat AlQasas.
* In front of the real news of the Day of Judgment all the false news of Life will become
difficult to make out.
Note: The Prophets of Allah left us Allah's Religion to follow. Prophet Muhammad is
the last Prophet and he left us Islam which is Allah's Religion from the creation of humanity (Adam) and
the sending of Allah's Commands. Note when Adam peace be upon him was
cast down to earth he came down from Heaven with some knowledge about what pleases Allah and what angers
Him. Then he received some of Allah's Words so he is
considered a messenger of Allah.

A: And We (Allah) sent Moses (Prophet = Moosa) with Our Miraculous
Signs and
a well-developed authority; To Pharaoh and his assembly* so they followed
the command of Pharaoh and the command of Pharaoh was not rightly guided (not wise); He
will be ahead of his people on the Day of Judgment so he brought them into** the Fire (of Hell)
and how miserable is the place that is reached; And they were followed in this (life)
by a CURSE*** and on the Day of Judgment how miserable is the support**** (of a disbelieving
leader = Rifd) that is given (to his people).
Translation of: Ayat 96 - 99, Surat Hood.
* Pharaoh's assembly was his people. They were not Beni Israel. According to Tafseer Ibn
Kastheer, volume 2 page 667, they were Copts (ancient Egyptians = Qibt) who
then disbelieved in Allah.
** Three words used in this line: "Awrada" - initially it is to go to a watering place.
And how miserable is the (watering) place = "AlWird" that is reached "Mawroud". Remember that
Hell is a staying place with hot shade, boiling water
to drink...etc.
*** To be cursed = To be away from Allah's Mercy. Remember that
Allah punishes:
1. During life (they were drowned), 2. when dead (are being punished in their

Ayat of Allah's Existence) and they disobeyed His messengers and they followed the command of every
stubborn tyrant.

* "Aad" were the People of the Prophet Hood.

those who believed - in this way Allah seals up** the heart of every arrogant tyrant.

A: Then We (Allah) sent after him (Prophet Noah) messengers to their peoples so they
brought them the Clear Signs (of Allah's Existence) but they were not going to believe in
what they rejected as lies before - in such a way Allah stamps* on the hearts of the
transgressors (unjust to Allah).

their false worship traditions.

protect yourselves by fearing Allah; You call upon Baal** and you leave the Best Creator!; Allah
your (True) God and the God of your forefathers; So they rejected him as a liar so they are
certainly going to be brought (for punishment)***; Except the devoted servants of Allah (among them); And We
passed his example over to people coming after; Peace be upon Ilyaseen (Ilyas); In this way We (Allah) do
reward the good doers: He is from Our believing servants.
Translation of: Ayat 123 - 132, Surat AlSaffat.
* Prophet Elijah no. 19 on the Map of Prophets whose names are mentioned in the
Qur'an.

Translation of: Ayah 6, Surat AlRa'd.

* When death came to Abi Taleb, the Prophet's uncle who took care of the Prophet from childhood,
the Prophet Muhammad said to him: My uncle! Say there is no god but Allah - a Word I use it

other uncle who was a polytheist said: Aba Talib! Are you going to turn away from the
religion of AbdulMutalib (the uncles' father). So he said: I am on the religion of AbdulMutalib.
So the Prophet Muhammad said: I will certainly pray to Allah for forgiveness for you as long as I am
not forbidden from it. Source: Tafseer Ibn Kastheer, Volume 2, page 572.

Q: Which one of the two commands of Allah are the disbelievers waiting for to arrive in order to have Faith?

what a miserable guardian (idol) and what a miserable associate (worshipper).
Translation of: Ayat 12 - 13, Surat AlHajj.

sent to them a messenger from themselves - do worship Allah for you do not have a God other
than Him so will you not protect yourselves (by fearing Allah); And the assembly (chiefs)
of his people who disbelieved (in Allah) and rejected as lies the Meeting of the Other World and they were spoiled
by the luxury that We provided them in this Life said this is not but a human being like yourselves - he eats
of what you eat and he drinks of what you drink; And certainly if you obey a human being like yourselves
indeed you are going to be certainly losers.
Translation of: Ayat 31 - 34, Surat AlMo'minoun.
Note: Disblievers did not want to obey Allah's prophets because they were humans. So
some disbelievers made some humans, after their death, into gods and asked people to worship them. Hence
the idol worshipping started across humanity. Source: Tareq Suwaidan's "Stories of the Prophets peace be
upon them".
Note: Remember what Allah says about a certain prophet of
Allah. And remember what the same Prophet said about what happened after his death.

said this is not but a human being like you - he wants to be superior over you and if
Allah willed He would have certainly sent down angels - we (even) did not hear about
this among our forefathers; Indeed he is a man with obsession (insanity) so watch him
for some time; He (Prophet Noah) said my God support me against what they rejected
as lies.

Q: As a tyrant ruler against the Prophet Moses why could not Pharaoh get rid of the Prophet?

that they will kill me; And my brother Aaron (= Haroon) is more eloquent than me in the
language so do send him with me as a supporter giving me credibility for I fear that they will
reject me as a liar; He (Allah) said We will strengthen you through your brother and We will provide
you with (divine) authority* so they will not touch (any of) you - with Our Miraculous Signs

building so that I may glance a look at the God of Moses and indeed I am certain that he is
from the liars; And he became arrogant - he and his soldiers on the land without
any due right** and they were certain that they to Us (Allah) will not return.

were not worshipping us**; And it was said (by angels) call your partners*** so they called them (their leaders) but they did not

listen (without rediness for Guidance)* then they would have certainly turned away while rejecting it.

be (made of) stones or iron; Or any creation that you deem greater (to recreate) in your hearts* - so
they will say who will (then) bring us back (alive) - say the One Who originated your
creation the first time then they will move their heads (astonished and mocking) and they will say

Q: When the idol worshippers say that their 'god' is going to harm him what are they

frighten you with other than Him* and whoever Allah leaves to stray away (from Allah's Path) then
for him there is none as a guide (towards Faith); And whoever Allah guides then for him there is none
as a misleader - is not Allah certainly AlMighty Capable of Revenge (Lord of Revenge).
