the Jews and the Christians 3:20 who used to say that there was no responsibility

The
Holy Quran is a treasure of true and useful knowledge, then how can a person to

delivered and the male is not like the female. “And I have named her Maryam and I seek your protection for
her and her offspring, from the devil, the outcast.” So her Fosterer accepted her with a good acceptance and made
her (Maryam) grow into a good growth and gave her into the guardianship of
Zakariyya............. 3:35-37
‘And
when the angels said, “O Maryam! Allah has certainly chosen you and cleaned you
and chosen you above the women of the worlds. O Maryam! be devoutly obedient to
your Fosterer and prostrate and bow down with those who bow down 3:42-43. Maryam (PBH) informed
of Isa’s (PBH) birth:
When the angels
said “O Maryam! certainly Allah conveys to you the good news of a word (Kalimatin)
from Him, his name is the Messiah, Isa, the son of Maryam, worthy of regard
in the world and the hereafter and from among those who are near (to Allah).
And he will talk to human beings (while) in the cradle and (in) old age, and
(he will be) from among the righteous.” (She) said, “O my Fosterer! how can
I have a son when man has not touched me?” He said, like that, Allah creates
what He wills when He decrees an affair then, He says to it only, ‘Be’, so
it is. 3:45-47
Miraculous
birth of Isa (PBH) without a father
‘And
mention in the book (about) Maryam when she withdrew from her people to an
eastern place and took a veil (to screen herself) from them. Then We sent to
her Our spirit (Ruhina) so he (Jibreel) appeared to her like a balanced man.
She said, “I seek the protection of the Beneficent (Allah) from you if you are
one who guards (against evil).” He said, “I am only a messenger (Rasool) of
your Fosterer that I may grant to you a pure son.” She said, “How can there be
a son to me when man has not touched me and I am not one who has exceeded the
limits?” He said, “(It will Be) like that. Your Fosterer says that is easy for
Me and that We will make him a sign for mankind and a mercy from Us, and it is
an affair decided.” So she bore him then withdrew with him to a distant place.
And the pains of child birth drove her to a palm tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this and had
become forgotten (as something) to be forgotten.” Then she was called from
beneath her, “Do not grieve, your Fosterer has made a rivulet beneath you, and
shake the trunk of the date palm towards you, making ripe dates to fall down to
you. Then eat and drink and cool (your) eye and if you see any man then say : I
have vowed a fast to the Beneficent, therefore I will not speak to any man
today,” Then she came to her people carrying him (Isa). They said ‘ O Maryam!
you have come with a strange thing. O sister of Harun! your father was not a
bad man nor your mother was one who exceeded the limits,” so she pointed
towards him (Isa, for the explanation). They said “How can we talk to one who
is a child in the cradle?”
He
(Isa) said, “I am a servant of Allah, He has given me the book and made me a
prophet.....................................”, such was Isa, the son of Maryam.
(This is a) statement of the fact about which they doubt. It is not befitting to Allah that He
should take to Himself a son, glory be to Him, when He decrees an affair, He
says to it only, “Be,” so it is. 19:16-35
Maryam’s
chastity certified by Allah Taala ‘And Maryam the daughter of Imran,
who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into it (her body), from Our spirit
and she testified to the truth of her Fosterer and His books and she was among
the obedient ones, 66:12
Isa’s (PBH)
birth compared with Adam’s (PBH)
The
likeness of Isa, with Allah is certainly as the likeness of Adam. (He) proportioned him from the soil,
then said to him, “Be,” so he was (created). 3:59.
Isa (PBH) is
not Allah’s son as Christians Claim
‘And
they say, “The Beneficent (Allah) has taken (to Himself) a son, “You have
indeed come with a disastrous thing.
The skies are about to cleave asunder due to it and the earth to split
asunder and the mountains to fall down in pieces, that they invoke a son for
the Beneficent (Allah). And it
does not suit the Beneficent (Allah) that He should take (to Himself) a son,
there is no one in the skies and the earth but he comes to the Beneficent
(Allah) as a servant.” 19:88-93.
Isa (PBH)
strengthened through Jibreel (PBH)
“...............
And We gave to Isa, the son of Maryam clear proofs and strengthened him with
the holy spirit (Jibreel (PBH)) .............. 2:87
Isa (PBH)
messenger of Allah, His word and a spirit from Him, predicts about Muhammed
(SAWS).
‘.............
and We made Isa, the son of Maryam to follow (earlier messengers) and gave him
the Injeel..........” 57:27
‘And
(remember) when Isa, the son of Maryam said, “O children of Israel! I am a
messenger of Allah sent to you, confirming that which is before me of the Torah
and conveying the good news of a messenger who will come after me his name
being Ahmed (Muhammed)............” 61:6
‘O
owners of the book! do not commit excesses in your religion, and do not say
about Allah (anything) other than the truth. The Messiah, Isa, the son of Maryam was only a messenger of
Allah and His word which He had communicated to Maryam and a spirit from Him
(word ‘Be communicated through Jibreel to Maryam), so believe in Allah and His
messengers and do not say, ‘Three, it will be better for you if you stop
(saying it). Allah is only One God
(and not one of the three as Christians claim). It is far from His glory that He should have a son for
Himself. Whatever is in the skies
and whatever is in the earth is His and Allah is sufficient as a Trustee. The Messiah does not disdain to be a
servant of Allah.............” 4:171-172
Miracles
performed through Isa (PBH)
‘When
Allah will say, “O Isa, the son of Maryam! remember My favour on you and on
your mother, when I strengthened you with the holy spirit you were made to
speak to people in the cradle (childhood) and in old age, and when I taught you
the book and the wisdom and the Torah and the Injeel, and when you proportioned
from the clay a form like that of a bird by My permission then you breathed in
it so it became a bird by My
permission, and you healed the blind by birth and the leper by My permission, and
when you brought out the dead by My permission and when I withheld the children
of Isreal from (harming) you when you came to them with clear proofs, then
those who did not believe from among them said; “This is nothing but clear
magic.” 5:110
Isa (PBH)
did not claim that he was God.
‘And
when Allah will say, “O Isa, the son of Maryam! did you say to mankind: Take me
and my mother as two gods, besides Allah?” He will say, “Glory be to you. It does not be fit me that I should say
something for which I have no right (to say). Had I said it then you would have known it..........” 5:116
Isa (PBH)
was neither crucified nor killed, he was raised towards Allah (SWT) and will
come back before the day of resurrection
‘When
Allah said, “O Isa! I will take you back and raise you towards Myself and clean
you from those who do not believe, and towards the day of resurrection, I will
make those who follow you, above those who do not believe, then towards Me you
will all return then I will judge between you in (matters) in which you
disagreed”.3:55
‘And
he (Isa) is certainly the knowledge (a sign) for the hour of doom..........’
43:61
‘And
(We punished them) due to their infidelity, and due to the great false charge
on Maryam in their speech and due to their, saying, “We killed Messiah, Isa,
the son of Maryam, messenger of Allah”.
And they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but for them, he
(the one crucified) was made to resemble (Isa), and those who differ in it are
certainly in a doubt about it.
They do not have any knowledge of it, they follow nothing but conjecture
and they certainly did not kill him.
No, Allah raised him towards Himself and Allah is Mighty, Wise. And there is not a single person from
among the owners of the book but he will definitely believe in him before his
death, and on the day of resurrection he will be a witness on them”. 4:156-159
Summary : First angels
inform Maryam (PBH) about the birth of a son on which she expresses her surprise
as no man had touched her and Allah (SWT) Himself certified her chastity.
Isa (PBH) appears to be the personification of the word ‘Kun’ meaning
‘Be’ from Allah (SWT) communicated to Maryam (PBH) through the spirit Jibreel
(PBH). This is probably what is meant by calling
him a ‘Word and spirit from Him.’ Isa
(PBH) is always called the son of Maryam (PBH) because he did not have a father
and he was not the son of Allah as Christians claim. Maryam must have gone through the whole
process of child birth and during the period when Isa (PBH) was in her womb
she must have eaten the food from the earth which was food for Isa (PBH) too. Probably in this sense he is said to have
been proportioned from the said (Turab) which supplies plant nutrients. Isa (PBH) was sent as a messenger of Allah
Taala to Bani Israel and was made to perform a number of miracles as proofs
of his prophethood. He was given
the Injeel, he certified to the truth of earlier prophets and informed about
the coming of prophet Muhammed (PBH) after him. He never claimed that he was God or the
son of God. He was neither crucified
nor killed but was raised towards Allah Taala, someone resembling him was
crucified. He will be sent back
before the day of resurrection, which is also mentioned in many sayings of
prophet Muhammed (PBH).

Other derivatives :
Power/authority 38:17, energy/strength 51:47.
320. RUUH (Spirit) 2:87 ÑõæúÍö ( Ñ æ Í )
Ruuhil qudus
16:102, Ruuhul amiin 26:192-196, Ruuh 42:52, Jibriil (PBH) 2:97 are different
names of the same being who brought down the Quran on the heart of prophet
Muhammed (PBH) by the order of Allah (SWT). The message contained in the Quran guides towards the path
of Allah (SWT) 34:6, 4:175-176, leading to paradise 2:25, whereas the
instigation's of the devil mislead human beings from this path and land them in
hell 4:60, 7:18. Jibrill (PBH) and
Ibliis the devil thus perform opposite jobs of propagating good and evil
respectively.
Jibriil
(PBH) comes down by the command of Allah (SWT) on whom He wills of His servants
with His message 16:2, 40:15, 17:85.
He comes down with the angels too with a programme for every affair
97:4. In association with the
angels he ascends towards Allah (SWT) in a period of 50,000 years 70:4 and on
the day of resurrection he will stand with them in ranks 78:38 Jibriil (PBH)
had acquired the form of a man and talked to Maryam (PBH) 19:17-19. Jibriil (PBH) is thus always associated
with good things and good people.
He appears to be the power of right decision in contrast to Ibliis who
is always associated with bad things and bad people who appears to be an evil
force - the power of wrong decision.
In view of this (1) the blowing of ‘Ruuhi’ into Adam (PBH) 15:29 could
mean the bestowing of the power of right decision to mankind (2) the
strengthening of Isa (PBH) with Ruuh-il qudus 2:87 could mean helping Isa (PBH)
through Jibriil (PBH) to take right decisions due to which he was able to speak
correct things even as a child 5:110 and (3) strengthening the believers with
‘Ruuh’ 58:22 could again mean helping them in taking the right decision
opposite to the devil’s party who will be losers 58:19.
Allah
(SWT) is Unique being One 112:1
whereas in His creation everything is in pairs 43:12, nothing is single like
Him 112:4, few examples of pairs in the creation are man and women, day and
night, good and evil. Millions of
such examples can be given.
In
view of this too Jibrill (PBH) and Ibliis appear to be opposing forces which influence
human beings. This interpretation is supported by the following statement of
prophet Muhammed (PBH) reported by Ibn-i-Masood (R.A.) and collected by Muslim.
The
Prophet (PBH) had said, “There is not one among you who does not have an
incharge on him accompanying him, one from among the Jinn and one accompanying
him from among the angels”. ( See
word No. 42:1 )
Man
has thus been given the power to choose and decide which is probably referred
to as ‘Amaanat’ meaning ‘Trust’ 33:72.
Jibriil (PBH) and the messages sent through him help men in taking the
right decision whereas Ibliis and his associates mislead them from this right
decision. Ruuhi 15:29, Ruuhanaa
19:17 and Ruuhihii 32:9 translated as My spirit, Our spirit and His spirit
respectively need not mean the soul or any part of Allah (SWT) just because
possessive pronouns are used. Take
the examples of the terms Malaa-’ikatihii, Kutubihii and rusulihii 4:136
meaning His angels, His books and His messengers respectively. We know that angels, books and
messengers are not parts of Allah (SWT) they just belong to Him. Therefore ‘Ruuh’ could also be a
separate being like angels and messengers who belong to Allah (SWT) but are not
His part.
No
where in the Quran is the word Ruuh used in the sense of soul, the word ‘Nafs’
is used to mean soul which is taken away at the time of death along with life
39:42.
Many
people believe that Ruuh is the soul of Allah (SWT), just because of the
possessive pronouns used with it.
They argue that it was this soul of Allah (SWT) that was breathed into
Adam (PBH) and we have inherited it through him. If we already possess the soul of Allah (SWT) then why
should it be again put into Maryam (PBH) and why should Isa (PBH) and believers
be supported with it? Many human
beings go to different prohibited places like gambling houses, night clubs etc.
and get involved in grave sins.
How can one imagine committing grave and shameful sins with the soul of
Allah (SWT) in him? If all human
beings possess the soul of Allah (SWT) are we not dividing His Soul into
different parts? Allah (SWT) has
clearly indicated that He is a separate Being 58:7.
In
view of all this, Ruuh or Jibriil (PBH) appears to be a separate being which
influences the psychical personalities of humam beings like the angels and
devils, helping them in taking the right decision and he belongs to Allah (SWT)
in the sense that the whole creation belongs to Him. Ruuh may be something like knowledge, which too is a power
belonging to Allah (SWT) ‘Ilmihii’ meaning His knowledge 2:255. Like knowledge Ruuh (the power of right
decision) too is shared by human beings to different extents without itself
getting reduced.
Ruuh
meaning the power of right decision was breathed into Adam (PBH), angels by
bowing down before Adam (PBH) bowed down before Ruuh too and consequently they
are with the believers helping them in taking the right decision. Had Ibliis too bowed down before Adam
(PBH) he would have surrendered before the power of right decision i.e. the
Ruuh and in that case he would not have been in a position to mislead human
beings by instigating wrong decisions in them. Ruuh is always expressed in masculine gender and singular
number.

ÇóÔúÑóßõæúÇ ( Ô Ñ ß )
The Quran repeatedly states and stresses that there is
only one God 2:163 and that is Allah 47:19. Whatever exists in the Universe besides Allah is His
creation 25:3, 31:11, 46:4 and nothing from His creation should be considered
as god or equal to 41:9 or partner 9:31, 20:32 or relative 6:101 or associate
of Allah 17:111 either in personality or in attributes. One who does so is known as a
polytheist (Mushrik) and the act is known as polytheism (shirk). A mushrik, instead of or in addition to
Allah, worship 10:18, obeys, seeks help from 22:12, fears 4:77 etc persons and
things other than Allah, The list of such objects is: Idols (22: 30-31), sun
and moon (41:37) animals (7:152) Jinn (6:100), devils (36:60), angels and
prophets (3:80), Uzair, Isa (PBT) learned people, monks (9:30-31), evil desires
(25:43), material possessions, status etc. (18:32-46), traditions (2:170) laws
of nature etc.
Polytheism
is an unforgivable sin (4:48,116).
These objects of worship besides Allah do not create anything while they
are themselves created, they can neither help others nor themselves, they can
neither harm nor profit anyone, they are powerless (7:191-195, 10:18; 16:73-74;
22:73, 46:4-6). It is reasoned out
in the Quran that if there were more than one gods each god would have taken
away what he had created and some of them would have over powered others
(23:91). This logical argument
proves that there is only One God and this is Allah. So we are ordered to pray only to Allah (10:106). Then in ch 112 it is clearly stated
that Allah is One on whom all depend, He neither begets nor is He begotten and
none is like Him.

345. SULAYMAAN (pbh) (Soloman) 2:102ÓõáóíúãóÇäó ( Ó á ã )
Sulaymaan (PBH) : was Dawood’s (PBH) son and inherited his
kingdom (38:30 and 27:16) and he
was a prophet like Dawood (PBH) who was given the Divine scripture Zabur
(4:163) Dawood and Sulaymaan (PBT) were kings as well as messengers of Allah
(SWT) which shows that saintly
people need not always be poor.
Sulaymaan (PBH) was given knowledge, wisdom and judgment (21:78-79
and 27:15). His army consisted of Jinn, human
beings and birds (27:17). The wind
was at his command (21:81 ). The
devils dived for him and did other works too (21:82) and the Jinn worked before
him constructing fortresses, images, reservoirs, cooking pots, bowls etc
(34:12-13). It appears that copper
was used during his period (34:12).
He knew the speech of birds (27:16). The bird hoopoe had informed him of a woman who ruled over a
place called Saba, whose inhabitants were sun worshippers. Sulayman (PBH) sent a message to her
and her people through hoopoe to come to him and surrender as a Muslim. On his invitation she came to him and
surrendered as a Muslim.( 27: 20-44 )
When
Sulayman (PBH) inquired in his court as to who could get the throne of the
Queen of Saba before she came to him surrendering, one Jinn said that he could
bring it before Sulayman (PBH) before he rose from his court. But one who had the knowledge of the
book (Kitab also means law) or the laws of nature said that he would bring it
to him before he blinks his eyes, and he did so (27:38-42). This shows that the Thrown was probably
transported from Saba to Sulaymaan’s (PBH) court at light like speed. There are reports that scientists are
engaged in making an effort to transport materials at light like speeds. This mode of transportation is known as
‘Tele parcel’. It is said that the
object to be transported would first be converted to its electrons, neutrons,
protons etc. and then these atomic particles would be made to travel at light
like speed, on reaching their destination these particles would be resembled
into the original object. Right
now we receive television signals from thousands of miles within a fraction of
a second, in view of which ‘Tele parcel’ might not be impossible. The important point to be noted here is
that the present knowledge of the high speed of atomic particles and photons (3
lakh kilometers per second) appears to have existed even during the days of
Sulaymaan (PBH) who himself was given many miraculous powers by Allah (SWT);
like control over wind, birds, jinn, devils etc.
346. AS-SIHR (Magic) 2:102ÇóáÓøöÍóÑ ( Ó Í Ñ )
Magic is illusion as indicated in the
following verses of the Quran :-“............... so when (the magicians threw),
their ropes and rods appeared to him (Musa (PBH)), due to their magic, as if
they were in motion”. 20:66.
“So
when they (the magicians) threw, they cast magic on the eyes of the
people...............” 7:116.
The
ropes and rods did not move but the eyes of Musa (PBH) and the people around
perceived them to be in motion, i.e. their eyes were illusioned. Magic according to the Quran is
something unreal, illusionary and a deception.
The
word ‘Sahar’ is used for the point of time when the night departs and the day
starts 54:34 probably because one is confused or under deception whether that
particular time is night or day compared to ‘Fajar’ 2:187 when one is sure that
the day has started.
Magic
is associated with lie 38:4 the opposite of which is truth 10:76, whereas
‘Miracles’ performed through messengers of Allah (SWT) 54:1-2 are not only real
but proofs of their being messengers of Allah (SWT) 28:32 The phenomenon of
magic is such that the eyes of viewer are deceived and nothing actually happens
to him or the objects on which magic is presumed to have been performed. This rules out the possibility of
messengers of Allah (SWT) becoming the objects of magic as presumed by Firawn
regarding Musa (PBH) 17:101 and by those astray and the unjust, regarding
prophet Muhammed (PBH) 17:47-48, 25:8-9.
Illusions
and deceptions do effect the human eye and perception, projecting an unrealistic
picture on the mind. The sun
appears to move around the earth but the fact is that the earth is moving
around it. The whole mankind is
involved in this illusion daily. A
train moving on parallel adjacent rails gives an impression to people sitting
in a stationary train as if their train was moving. If a disc is divided into 7 segments and each segment
painted with rainbow colours in the order VIBGYOR and rotated fast, one sees
white colour and not the
individual 7 colours which make up ordinary light. Here again the eye is deceived. To one who does not understand science,
the merger of 7 colours to give the effect of white colour on the rotating disc
is magic. In this example too, it
is not the colour of the disc that changes but it is the eye which is deceived
and perceives the 7 colours as a single white colour. As soon as the rotation of the disc is stopped one can see
all the 7 colours intact and unchanged.
The
infidels called the messengers of Allah (SWT) magicians 10:2 and the miracles
performed by them magic 27:13. In a miracle the change is in the object and
what the eye sees is real, not a deception.
A
miracle is a phenomenon against the laws of nature known during its period of
performance and it is performed by Allah (SWT) through His messengers (1) to
provide a proof of their prophethood and (2) as a challenge that no one else
can go against the laws of nature laid down by Allah (SWT).
For
Sulaymaan (PBH) Allah (SWT) had made the wind to move so fast that it covered
one month’s journey in one morning or one evening 34:12 Allah (SWT) had made
prophet Muhammed (PBH) to travel from Mecca to Jerusalem during one night
17:1. These speeds of travel were
impossible according to the laws of nature known then, now we have Aeroplanes,
rockets etc. which travel at very fast speeds but in accordance with the laws
of nature known to us now.
The
food and drink of a man were preserved for hundred years 2:259, a fact which
could not be explained then but now we have deep freezes in which food and drinks
could be preserved for long periods according to the laws of nature known to us
now.
It
is quite possible that in future Allah (SWT) may increase the knowledge of
human beings to such an extent that they may perform things similar to other
miracles reported in the Quran except things like creation, overcoming death
etc. 10:34, 13:16, 56:58-74.
In
scientific experiments the change may or may not be deceptive, but it is
factual as in the case of a miracle.
This change is in accordance with the known laws of nature laid down by
Allah (SWT) whereas in the case of a miracle although the change is real it is
against the laws of nature known then.
In the case of magic the change is deceptive and apparently against the
laws of nature, this was the reason why some people considered miracles as
magic and called messengers of Allah (SWT) magicians.

Other derivatives:
Face 12:93. If someone calls
us we normally turn our face in his direction, few derivatives have been used
to convey the sense of attention 12:9. Face being in front, it appears first, in this sense at one
place these derivatives are used to mean morning compared to evening 3:72
as morning appears first. Face
is the basis for recognizing someone as a person, therefore some derivatives
have been used to mean the person as a whole 2:112.
They are also used to convey the sense of direction towards which one
turns his face 16:76. They are
also used to mean honour 33:69 as a person who is honoured is recognized by
his face. In the life in the hereafter too faces have been mentioned 80:38-41.
It
is stated that, in which ever direction one turns the ‘Wajhu’ i.e. the Face or
Person or Attention of Allah (SWT) is there 2:115. This may mean that Allah (SWT) concentrates or pays His
Attention to everything, everywhere all the time, contrary to this we can
concentrate on only one thing at a time.

)
370. AL MAGRIB (The West) 2:115ÇóáúãóÛúÑöÈõ ( Û Ñ È
)
These words
are normally translated as the east and the west respectively. An associated word ‘Ashraqa’ means to
shine or light up (39:69). At dawn
the environment is illuminated by the sun, this direction is therefore known as
Mashriq i.e. the east. The word
‘Gharabiyb’ means extremely black (35:27) and the word ‘Ghurub’ means to set
(50:39). The direction in which
the sun sets and thus gives rise to darkness is known as Maghrib i.e. the
west. The words Mashriq, Maghrib, Masjid etc. convey the sense
of place as well as time. Mashriq
and Maghrib have been used as singulars meaning east and west (2:258), as duals
‘Mashriqain’ and ‘Maghribain’ (55:17) probably refer to the two extreme
positions of the sun on 22nd December and 22nd June every year known as the
winter solstice and summer solstice respectively. The plurals Mashaariq and Maghaarib (70:40) have also been
used. The earth is continuously rotating therefore every moment at some place
or the other on the earth, the sun appears to be either rising or setting,
giving rise to innumerable places and times of sun rise and sun set. This phenomena refers to the whole
earth. Even if we consider a
single place on earth say Hyderabad in India, the place and time of sun rise
and sun set change daily. But on
any particular day at a particular place the sun rise and sun set have always
taken place at a fixed time. On
11th October 1996 the sun rise and sun set at Hyderabad took place at 6.09 A.M.
and 5.57 P.M. Any year, whether in
past or future, the sun rise and sun set at Hyderabad was/would be at the
timings indicated above. It is
stated in the Quran ‘.............. Allah measures out (yuqaddiruu) the night
and the day........’ (73:20). This
natural phenomena of alternation of day and night demonstrates the precision of
‘Taqdir’ i.e. destiny destined by Allah (SWT).
371. WAASI ( Omni present ) 2:115æóÇÓöÚñ ( æ Ó Ú )

One
of the Attributes of Allah (SWT) is Al Waasi meaning Omni present as well as
Ample-Giving 4:130 which is associated with two other Attributes, the Knowing
2:115 and the Wise 4:130. The Omni
presence of Allah (SWT) is associated with His power 2:255, knowledge 20:98,
mercy 7:156, protective forgiveness 53:32 and He is expanding the universe
51:47, which is a fact discovered comparatively recently.
372. QAANITUUN (Obedient) 2:116 ÞóÇäöÊõæúäó ( Þ ä Ê

Other
derivatives: Being first 46:9, invent 57:27 and originate 6:101.The Attribute
of Allah (SWT) Al Badii means that He is the Originator of the material and
abstract universes and the laws governing them i.e. He it is Who brings things and affairs into existence from
nothingness then proportions them as Al Khaaliq, purifies them as Al Baari and
gives them the desired final shape as Al Musawwir 59:24.

The
opponents of Ibrahiim (PBH) said, “.......... put him into Jahiim” 37:97. Elsewhere 21:69 Allah (SWT) ordered “O
fire! be cool and a source of peace for Ibrahiim” This indicates that the
Jahiim mentioned at many places in the Quran means hell fire with which the
word of kindling is also associated 81:12.
377. RAZI ( Pleased )
2:120ÑóÖöìó ( Ñ Ö ì )

Few
derivatives of these alphabets convey the sense of dictation 2:282, therefore a
‘Millat’ would be a community 38:7 following some religious dictates 12:37 like
the religion dictated by Ibrahhiim (PBH) 2:130.
379. FA-ATAMMAHUNN (So He fulfilled them) 2:124 ÝóÇóÊóãøóåõäøó ( Ê ã

The word
zarrah 4:40 means a particle.
Children and descendants are created from sperm and egg and their
associated genes, which can be regarded as particles. Is it due to this reason that some derivatives of these
alphabets have been translated as children 2:266 and descendants 19:58
It
is stated in the Quran that Allah (SWT) had taken out their descendants from
the backs of children (i.e.progeny) of Adam (PBH) and made them bear witness
that He was their Fosterer 7:172-174.
Were these ‘descendants’ translation of the word ‘zurriyyat’ some
specific ‘genes of faith’?
381. YANAALU (Include) 2:124 íóäóÇáõ ( ä æ á )
Other derivatives: Reach 5:94, attain 3:92, bestow 7:49,

382. AL BAYT (The House) 2:125ÇóáúÈóíúÊó ( È ì Ê )
Other
derivatives: Spending the night (in discussing secrets) 4:81. Houses 24:61 are places where people not
only rest but also discuss or are involved in secrets. Allah (SWT) calls Kaaba 5:97 ‘My house’
22:26, mosques 24:36 are also called houses and there are some people who spend
the night in prostrating and standing before Allah (SWT) 25:64. In view of all this it appears that the
Kaaba and mosques are not only places for ritualistic worship but also for
secrecy with Allah (SWT).
383. IBRAAHIM, ISMAAIIL AND ISHAAQ (PBT) 2:125 ÇöÈúÑóÇåöíúãó ÇöÓúãóÇÚöíúáó æó ÇöÓúÍóÇÞó
1. Leaves
home in the name of Allah: Ibrahim (PBH) as the messenger of Allah appears to
have first preached his father against idol worship. He argued with him that he (i.e. his father) was worshipping
idols which neither hear nor see nor are capable of helping him in anyway. He told him that worshipping idols and
thereby serving the devil who was disobedient to Allah, was a punishable
act. In reply to this his father
threatened him that he would stone him if he did not stop his mission against
idol worship and finally ordered him to go away from him. Even then Ibrahim (PBH) consoled him
that he would pray to his Fosterer for forgiving him and withdrew from that
which they worshipped besides Allah (6:74, 19:41-48).
The
lesson we learn from this is that guidance to the right path does not depend on
relationship, even the father of Ibrahim (PBH) was an idol worshipper, a
polytheist. It is Allah Who guides
whom He wills towards the right path (2:213).
2.
He reflects on the creation in search of the Creator: Ibrahim (PBH) wanted to know, Who his Sustainer, Cherisher,
Fosterer was, therefore Allah (SWT) diverted his attention towards the heavenly
bodies and made him reflect on the creation and then come to some
conclusion. In this process he first
saw a planet (probably venus which appears at the very start of night and is
next in brightness only to the moon), but when the planet disappeared he
remarked, ‘I do not love those who set’.
He next reflected on the moon then on the sun, the biggest heavenly body
seen with the naked eye but these two heavenly bodies also disappeared. These heavenly bodies too must have
been objects of worship therefore he remarked, “O my people! I am free from
that which you associate as partners (with Allah). I turn my attention towards Him Who initiated the creation
of the skies and the earth, being upright, and I am not of the polytheists,
(6:75-82). Here there is a hint
that Allah (SWT) existence and powers could be recognized through his creation.
3.
He breaks Idols : To teach a lesson to idol worshippers and to make them
realize how helpless the idols were, he broke all the idols except the biggest
one, in their absence. When they
returned and asked as to who had done this to their idols, he said that the
biggest of them had done it and requested them to ask the idols
themselves. They accepted that
idols could not speak. He thus tried to convince them that besides Allah they
were worshipping things which could not even protect themselves, leave alone
their benefiting or harming others.
Inspite of getting convinced they were adamant and tried to burn him in
the fire but Allah (SWT) saved him. (21:51-70). Following wrong practices and traditions of fore fathers
sometimes makes people blind to reason and logic and leads them to hell.
4.
He argues with the king : Ibrahim (PBH) defeated the king of his time in
argument which was another daring act.
The king, considering himself to be the ultimate authority had said that
he could let a person live or cause him to die. Ibrahim (PBH) in reply challenged that Allah (SWT) causes
the sun to rise in the east let him cause it to rise in the west. (2:258). This
shows that one should dare to argue in the cause of Allah (SWT), basing his
argument on reason and logic, even with people in power, if they are wrong.
5.
He performs an experiment : Belief in anything becomes strong if one is
satisfied. Ibrahim (PBH) therefore
asked Allah (SWT) to show him how He would raise the dead to life. Allah (SWT) too satisfied him by
ordering him to perform an experiment: ‘Take four birds, tame them to come to
you when you call them, then place on every mountain a portion from them and
call them, they will come to you......’ (2:260). As birds are tamed, every particle in the whole creation is
tamed to obey the orders of Allah (SWT). On the day of resurrection at the command of Allah (SWT), all the particles of which a
person was composed in the life of this world, would assemble to resurrect the
same person. This was probably
what Allah (SWT) wanted to impress on the mind of Ibrahim (PBH).
6.He
leaves wife and child at Kaaba : For the establishment of worship (salat) he
left his wife Hajira and child Ismael (PBH) in the premises of Kaaba where
there was no food, in the absence of any cultivation. He just depended on Allah (SWT) for providing them with
fruits, for which he prayed to Him. 14:37. Another sacrifice of leaving his
wife and small child alone just for the service of Allah (SWT).
7.
Construction of Kaaba : Ibrahim and Ismael (PBT) were ordered to clean the
Kaaba for worshippers of Allah (SWT). This indicates that Ibrahim and Ismael
(PBT) first had to remove some unclean or unwanted things from the premises of
the Kaaba and then raise the foundations of the building. The place where Ibrahim (PBH) stood was
appointed as a place for offering salat.
While raising the walls of Kaaba Ibrahim and Ismael (PBT) were praying
to Allah (SWT) for accepting this service of theirs inspite of the fact that
they were ordered by Allah (SWT) to construct the building of Kaaba. This shows that while obeying the
orders of Allah (SWT) we too should pray to Him for acceptance of our good
deeds, because if our effort is not accepted as good by Allah (SWT) then it is
fruitless and a waste. Ibrahim (PBH)
also prayed to Allah (SWT) for raising a messenger from the local people i.e.
the progeny of Ismael (PBH), his prayer was accepted and Muhammed (PBH) was
raised as His last messenger with the final message i.e. the Quran (2:125-129).
8.
Sacrifice of Ismael:When Ibrahhim (PBH) was instructed in his dream by Allah
(SWT) to sacrifice his son Ismael (PBH) both obeyed the order. But when Ismael was laid down for
sacrifice Allah (SWT) saved him from being slaughtered and in his place a sheep
was sacrificed.
This
occasion is remembered every year when we celebrate Idd uz Zuha (37:102-109) If
Ismael (PBH) had been sacrificed, it was possible that sacrificing a son
instead of a sheep would have become incumbent on all Muslims. We celebrate Idd uz Zuha because
instead of a son a sheep is sacrificed and its really an occasion to be
celebrated. What a trial it must
have been for Ibrahim and Ismael (PBT), but both were declared successful. We should really be grateful to Allah
for saving us from such a severe test.
9.
Birth of Ishaq (PBH). Ibrahim
(PBH) was given the good news of the birth of Ishaq (PBH) as a son along with
the birth of Yaqoob (PBH) as a grandson (11:71-72). This clearly indicated that the son whose sacrifice was
ordered was Ismael (PBH) and not Ishaq (PBH), because Ishaq (PBH) was to live
get married and give birth to Yaqoob (PBH) his son. How could Ishaq (PBH) do all this if he had been sacrificed
because Ibrahim (PBH) did not know before the sacrifice that his son would be
saved, he was prepared to sacrifice his son in all good faith. If the son to be sacrificed was Ishaq
(PBH) and not Ismael (PBH) then Ibrahim (PBH) would have got confused that on
one hand Ishaq (PBH) was to give birth to Yaqoob (PBH) and on the other hand
Allah (SWT) is asking him to sacrifice him in childhood itself. This clearly proves that Ismael (PBH)
was involved in the sacrifice and this event took place around Kaaba. Sacrifice of animals and stoning the
devils during the Hajj add further support to this fact.
10.
Allah (SWT) acknowledgment of Ibrahim’s (PBH) acts: Ibrahim (PBH) is honoured by being called upright and a
friend of Allah (SWT) (4:125).
Allah (SWT) Himself certifies that he was not a polytheist (16:120), he
had a defectless heart (37:84), he was a man of strength and insight, chosen
for reminding people of the life after death (38:45-47) he was good to such an
extent that he was a model for the righteous to copy (60:4).

The word
Ilaaha is translated as ‘God’. It

like president, chairman, king etc.
Ilaaha is the Supreme Head of the whole creation and there was, is and
will be only One Ilaaha i.e. Allah (SWT) 2:163, 47:19. If there were two or more gods or
supreme authorities then there would have been disorder in the whole universe
due to their fighting for achieving the ownership or control of the throne of
the universe and each god would have taken away things which he had created 17:42,
23:91. On the contrary we find
perfect order in the whole universe which proves that there is only One God
i.e. Allah (SWT). Whatever is
there other than Him is His creation and nothing from His creation should be
considered as ‘God’. In fact the whole creation has been put
into service of man by Allah (SWT) 45:13, therefore regarding someone other
than Allah (SWT) as ‘God’ is similar to worshipping your own servants. Is it not ridiculous? ‘Ilaaha’ is One Who creates, He Himself
is not created 112:1-4. He can
benefit or harm anyone, He controls death and life 25:3. Nothing else can do these things.
Things
which have been wrongly considered as Ilaaha are (1) Idols 6:74, (2) Human
beings 5:116, 9:31, (3) Angels and Jinn 34:40-41. Considering any other person or thing besides Allah (SWT) as
Ilaaha is an unforgivable sin 4:48.

452. AL QURAAN ( The Holy Quran
) 2:185ÇóáúÞõÑóÂäõ ( Þ Ñ Ç
Á )
It is stated
in the Quran ‘And when the Quran is recited listen to it and be
silient...............’ 7:204. We
can listen to something only when it is read or recited aloud.
Derivatives
of these alphabets thus convey the meaning of reading or reciting in a voice
which could be heard, compared to this ‘Tilaawath’ 2:121 means reading which
need not be in a loud voice. [See word No. 2:188]
The
Author of the Quran is Allah (SWT) 27:6 and no one else can produce such a book
2:23-24, 10:37, 11;13, 17:88, 52:33-34.
The Quran is preserved in a book that is protected 56:77-80
‘Kitaabim-maknuun’ also known as Low him Mahfuuz’ 85:21-22. It was sent down by
Allah (SWT) through Jibriil (PBH) on the heart of prophet Muhammed (PBH)
26:192-196, 47:2, 42:52. 28:86-87, 29:48, 6:19, 2:151.
The
revelation started during the night of Al Qadr 97:1 which is a blessed night
44:2-3 in the month of Ramadan 2:185.
The original language of the Quran was Arabic 43:3. It was revealed gradually after
intervals 17:106, it was not sent down all at once 25:32. Had the Quran been sent down on a
mountain, it would have split asunder due to the fear of Allah (SWT)
59:21. This appears to be the
reason why the Quran was not sent down on the heart of prophet Muhammed (PBH)
in one single installment but was sent down in small portions during a long
span of 23 years.
The
Holy Quran is also known as Zikr-il-Hakiim 3:58, Kitaab-il-Hakiim 10:1,
Kitaab-il-Mubiin 12:1, Quran-im-Mubiin 15:1, Quran-il-Aziim 15:87,
Zikr-um-Mubaarak 21:50, Quran-il-Hakiim 36:2, Quran-i-ziz-zikr 38:1 Kitaabum
Aziiz 41:41, Quraan-il-Majiid 50:1, Quraan-un Kariim 56:77.
The
Holy Quran has been protected by Allah (SWT) therefore falsehood cannot enter
it 15:9, 18:27, 41:42, 75:16-19, 87:6-7.
The Holy Quran is taught by Allah (SWT) 55:1-2 and He has explained
everything relevant to us, through it 16:89, 12:111, 39:27-28. It is also called light 4:175 because
it shows the straight path leading to paradise. The Holy Quran contains only truth 32:2-3 and there is
nothing doubtful in it 2:2 It confirms that before it there were other Divine
books 4:47, 5:48.
The aims
behind the revelation of the Holy Quran are : (1) Guidance of human beings
2:185 (2) bringing them out from darkness into light 14:1 (3) to make clear to
mankind many things 16:44 (4) to settle differences 16:64 (5) for judgment of
disputes 4:105 (6) to serve as a reminder 7:2 (7) to warn 6:19 (8) to serve as
a source of admonition 2:231 (9) a source of good news to the believers 18:1-3
(10) for reflection over its subjects 38:29 etc.
The
Holy Quran is a reminder to the whole of humanity 12:104. The devils have been kept away from
even hearing it 26:210-212. The
Holy Quran is easy to communicate 19:97, 44:58 and remember 54:17. It is not self contradictory 4:82. The believers are required to believe
in the Holy Quran 4:136. For
believers it is a guide, mercy and a healing 10:57, 17:82. The sign of belief is that when it is
read before believers it increases their faith 8:2 and they are not deaf and
blind to it 25:73 but fall down prostrate glorifying and praising Allah (SWT)
32:15.
Islam
should be propagated through the Quran 50:45, 6:19, 5:67 one should not hide
anything that is in it 2:174. The
Holy Quran is to be implemented practically 6:155. Believers are ordered not to sit in the company which
rejects or mocks at the Holy Quran till they shift over to some other topic
4:140, 6:68. The Quran is not to
be divided into parts 15:90-91.
The
messenger (PBH) of Allah (SWT) will complain to Allah (SWT) that his people had
forsaken the Quran 25:30. The
protection of Allah (SWT) from the devil should be sought before reading the Quran 16:98 then it
should be recited in His name 96:1.
We
are ordered to read the Quran 18:27 gradually 73:4 as much as it is easy to 73:20
The Holy Quran is to be listened to in silence 7:204 with reflection 47:24
Recitation at dawn is witnessed 17:78 There is peace of mind and heart in the
remembrance of Allah (SWT) 13:28.
The Jinn too had heard the Quran 72:1.
