يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Yusabbihu lillahi ma fee a(l)ssamawati wama fee alardi lahu almulku walahu alhamdu wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeer(un)

Hallows Allah-SWT whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth. His-SWT is the kingdom, His-SWT is the Praise, and He-SWT is Potent over everything.

(64:1)


هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ فَمِنكُمْ كَافِرٌ وَمِنكُم مُّؤْمِنٌ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

Huwa allathee khalaqakum faminkum kafirun waminkum muminun wa(A)llahu bima taAAmaloona baser(un)

He-SWT it is Who created you, so of you some infidels and some are believers and Allaah-SWT is Beholder of what you do.

(64:2)


خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ

Khalaqa a(l)ssamawati wa(a)larda bi(a)lhaqqi wasawwarakum faahsana suwarakum wailayhi almaseer(u)

He-SWT has created the heavens and the earth with truth, and has fashioned you, and has fashioned you in a comely shape, and to Him-SWT is the return.

(64:3)


يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

YaAAlamu ma fee a(l)ssamawati wa(a)lardi wayaAAlamu ma tusirroona wama tuAAlinoona wa(A)llahu AAaleemun bithati a(l)ssudoor(i)

He-SWT Knows whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth; and He-SWT Knows whatsoever you conceal and whatsoever you disclose; and Allaah-SWT is the Knower of whatsoever is in the breasts.

(64:4)


أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَبْلُ فَذَاقُوا وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Alam yatikum nabao allatheena kafaroo min qablu fathaqoo wabala amrihim walahum AAathabun aleem(un)

Has not the news reached you of those who disbelieved aforetime, and so tasted of the ill consequence of their affair, and theirs will be an afflictive torment

(64:5)


ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَقَالُوا أَبَشَرٌ يَهْدُونَنَا فَكَفَرُوا وَتَوَلَّوا وَّاسْتَغْنَى اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ

Thalika biannahu kanat tateehim rusuluhum bi(a)lbayyinati faqaloo abasharun yahdoonana fakafaroo watawallaw wa(i)staghna Allahu wa(A)llahu ghaniyyun hameed(un)

That was because their Messengers-AS came to them with evidences but they said: Will there guide us a mere human being? So they disbelieved and turned away. And Allaah-SWT did not need them. Allaah-SWT is Self-sufficient, Praise­worthy.

(64:6)


زَعَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَن لَّن يُبْعَثُوا قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّي لَتُبْعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّؤُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلْتُمْ وَذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِير

ZaAAama allatheena kafaroo an lan yubAAathoo qul bala warabbee latubAAathunna thumma latunabbaonna bima AAamiltum wathalika AAala Allahi yaseer(un)

Those who disbelieved asserted that they would not be raised. Say you-SW: By my Rabb-SWT , you shall surely be raised, and to you shall be declared what you worked. And that is easy for Allah-SWT .

(64:7)


فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالنُّورِ الَّذِي أَنزَلْنَا وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ

Faaminoo bi(A)llahi warasoolihi wa(al)nnoori allathee anzalna wa(A)llahu bima taAAmaloona khabeer(un)

So believe in Allaah-SWT and His-SWT Messenger-SW and the light which We-SWT have sent down. And Allaah-SWT is Aware of what you work.

(64:8)


يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُكُمْ لِيَوْمِ الْجَمْعِ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ التَّغَابُنِ وَمَن يُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ وَيُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

Yawma yajmaAAukum liyawmi aljamAAi thalika yawmu a(l)ttaghabuni waman yumin bi(A)llahi wayaAAmal salihan yukaffir AAanhu sayyiatihi wayudkhilhu jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha abadan thalika alfawzu alAAatheem(u)

Remember the Day when He-SWT will assemble you, the Day of Assembly; that will be the Day of Mutual Loss and Gain. Then whosoever believes in Allaah-SWT and acts righteously He-SWT will expiate from him his misdeeds and will make him enter the Gardens whereunder rivers flow, as abiders therein. That is a great achievement.

(64:9)


وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ

Wa(a)llatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biayatina olaika ashabu a(l)nnari khalideena feeha wabisa almaseer(u)

And they who disbelieve and belie Our-SWT Signs! Those will be the fellows of the Fire as abider therein-a hapless destination!

(64:10)


In The Name of Allah-SWT the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
SECRETS OF REVELATION:

All earthly and celestial creations express Allaah-SWT ’s Glory by their very state and by words commensurate to their understanding that Allaah-SWT is Real Ruler, Owner of all Virtue and all-Prevailing. He-SWT is the Supreme Being Who created man; some embraced Islam at their own choice while others disbelieved.

 

Faith and Disbelief form the basis of Two Nations Theory


That the nations are categorized only by faith and disbelief has been discussed earlier. Families and tribes are only for identification. Basically all human beings are born with similar natural qualities. Nobody is a born non believer but voluntarily adopts disbelief on maturity and is counted in another nation. The world was divided into a variety of nations and all were at logger heads with each other. Once the Holy Prophet-SW was raised, he-SW declared all believers as brothers. Race, colour, language and lineage ceased to be the identifying features of nations. He-SW also pronounced all non believers as one nation. In other words, only two nations inhabit the globe, the believers, and the non believers. It is deplorable that because of their drifting away from Islam, Muslims have again split into different racial, lingual and sectarian groups. Deprived of the concept of Islamic brotherhood, the infidels are setting them against each other through conspiracies. Lineage is not by choice, for no one can change his colour and race but can choose the nation at his own free will, by either embracing or repudiating faith. And Allaah-SWT is Watchful of everyone's conduct.

 

He-SWT adorned the earth and the heavens flawlessly. Not even the smallest particle is out of place. All this is not without purpose; else everything would not function so perfectly. He shaped human beings exquisitely, with immaculate organs and faculties, so that they can relish life. He also enabled man to distinguish and choose right from wrong, and has gifted him with the requisite intellect and physique to act upon whatever way he adopts. All this is not in vain, for everyone shall return to Him-SWT in the end. He-SWT knows all that goes on in the earth and heavens, and all that you conceal or manifest. People are certainly aware of those destroyed before because of their misdeeds. Painful retribution awaits them in Akhirah, because they had rejected the auspicious guidance sent through Allah-SWT's Messengers-AS on the plea that they were only human beings like them and as such had no right* to command them.

 

Human and Light


The non believers thought that a Prophet-AS should be a creature of light, free of human needs like hunger, thirst and sleep. They could not appreciate that humanity of a Prophet-AS was far superior to all the creations of light Possessing human traits, he demonstrates obedience to Allaah-SWT by self example The present day Muslims too argue whether the Holy Prophet-SW was a human being or of light. In fact, he is a light superior to all creations of light after Allah-SWT , and a human like whom there is none. The non believers refused Islam brought along by him-SW both in belief and in practice.

 

Belief and Practice


Remember that the Prophets-AS were raised to dispense belief as well as practice. Practice again is divided into worships and code of life. Repudiation of all three is disbelief. Acceptance of beliefs and adherence to worships, but defiance of the code of life is hypocrisy. Accepting all the three is Islam. Anyone averse to the Holy Prophet-SW 's path, which was for his good, does not bother Allaah-SWT to Whom it makes no difference, He-SWT has no need of anyone's worship and obedience.

 

The non believers presume that death would put an end to everything and they would not be resurrected. O' Prophet-SW ! Tell them: "I swear upon His-SWT Providence that He-SWT created man and gave him intellect, wisdom and the right to choose, having made clear what was good or bad, so there ought to be an end result. Therefore, all of you will definitely be quickened and informed on what you had done in this world. It is the least difficult for Him-SWT . Don't you see a variety of creation coming into existence everyday out of the blue". The Day of Gathering would be of great woe for the non believers. They would be unworthy of any mercy because they had no faith. On the other hand, the believers, who live up to the code given by the Holy Prophet-SW would be forgiven notwithstanding the human error. He-SWT shall admit them in the exquisite Gardens with gushing streams and everlasting bloom, to abide therein, indeed the greatest success. And those who disbelieved and refuted Allah-SWT's Signs would be condemned to Hell, the worst of all places, to suffer perpetually.
