25 And I have not sent before you, O Messenger,

any messenger except that I revealed to him that

there is no true Allah except Me, so worship Me
alone and do not associate any partner with Me.
26 The idolaters said: “Allah has taken the angels

as daughters”. Pure and exalted is Allah from the

lie they say. The angels are in fact the servants of
Allah, honoured by Him and close to Him.
27 They do not proceed before their Lord in any

saying, so they do not speak until He orders them,

and they act according to His command and do not
oppose any command of His.
28 He knows their previous and latter actions. They

do not ask to intercede except with His permission

and on behalf of whom He approves intercession.
And they are wary out of their fear of Him, so they
do not oppose Him in any command or prohibition.
29 And for argument’s sake, whoever amongst the

angels were to say: “I am a Allah besides Allah”, I

will punish him for what he says with Hellfire on
the Day of Judgment, staying therein forever. And
with this kind of punishment I punish those who
are unjust by disbelieving and associating partners
with Allah.
30 Do those who disbelieved in Allah not know

that the heavens and the earth were joint without

any gap in between that rain should come down
from it, then I split them apart? And I made every
animal and plant from the water that comes down
from the sky. Do they not consider this and believe
in Allah alone?
31 And I made firm mountains on earth, so that

it does not shake those on its surface. I made in it Al-Anbiyā 324 Part 17

wide paths and ways, so that they may find their way in their journeys towards their objectives.
32 And I made the sky a roof protected from falling and without any pillar, and protected from stealing words. But the

idolaters turn away and do not consider the signs in the sky, such as the sun and moon.
33 Allah alone is the One Who created the night for relaxation, created the day for earning one’s livelihood, created the

sun as a sign of day, and the moon as a sign of night. The sun and moon both run in their specific orbits, without moving
away or side-tracking.
34 O Messenger, I have not given eternity in this life to any human before you. So if your life comes to an end in this life

and you pass away, will they live forever after you? Never.
35 Every believing and disbelieving soul will taste death in the world. And I test you, O mankind, in the worldly life

through duties, blessings and hardships, then after your death you shall be returned to Me alone and nobody else, then I
shall reward you for your deeds.
Beneficial Points:
1. All the prophets are united on calling towards monotheism and rejecting idolatry.
2. Allah is pure of having a child.
3. The status of the angels with Allah is that they are His servants He has created for His obedience. They are not de-
scribed as either male or female, but rather they are honoured servants.
4. Intercession will only occur through Allah’s permission and His being pleased with the one being interceded for.
5. The heavens and the earth were created in gradual steps.
6. Death is the route of every living being. Neither the pious nor impious are immune from it.
7. Tests can be through good, just as they are through bad.
 36 O Messenger! When these idolaters see you
they only mock you, trying to make you loathsome

۲٥ in the eyes of their followers by saying, “Is this

the one who insults the idols that you worship?”
whilst they themselves reject the Qur’ān that Allah
revealed to them and the blessings He conferred
upon them, together with mocking you. So they
themselves are closer to shame, due to their accu-
mulating every evil.
37 The human was created intrinsically to be hasty,

and so he/she wants things to happen before their

due time. The idolaters asking for the punishment
is a result of that nature. O the ones seeking My
punishment in haste! I shall show you exactly what
you hastily seek, so there is no need to ask for it.
38 And the disbelievers who reject resurrection say

in their haste, “O Muslims! If indeed you are truth-

ful in what you claim, when will this resurrection
that you promise us with, happen?”
39 If these disbelieving rejecters of the resurrec-

tion were to know of the time when they will not be

able to turn the hellfire away from their faces and
backs, they would not be so hasty in seeking it. If
only they were to know that there shall be no one
to help relieve them of the punishment, and if only
they were convinced of its reality, they would not
be so hasty either.
40 This fire that they shall be punished with will

come upon them suddenly, without them anticipat-

ing it. They shall not be able to repel it, nor shall
they be given respite to repent and consequently be
shown mercy.
Al-Anbiyā 325 Part 17
When the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him
suffered from the mockery of his people and their rejection of him, Allah consoled him by saying:
41 O Messenger! Even if your people mock you, you are not unique in that, because many messengers before you were

also mocked at. After their messengers warned them of it, the very punishment the disbelievers made a mockery of en-
gulfed them in this very world.
42 O Messenger! Say to these people who are hastily seeking the punishment: “Who will save you throughout the night

and day from the punishment and destruction The Merciful intends to send upon you?” Rather, they are desisting from
the admonition and proofs of their Lord; they foolishly and ignorantly do not ponder over any of it.
43 Do they have Allahs that will protect them from My punishment? They are not capable of helping even themselves

by removing any harm or acquiring any benefit! Whoever cannot help himself, how can he help others? Nor will they be
protected from My punishment.
44 Rather, I have supplied these disbelievers and their forefathers with all My blessings I conferred upon them, so that as

time passes, they become blinded by them and stand firm upon their disbelief, gradually leading themselves into destruc-
tion. Do these people, deluded by My blessings and hastily seeking My punishment, not realise that I am narrowing the
earth down from all sides, by My influence over the people and power over them? Do they not take lesson from that, lest
the same does not happen to them? These people will not be victorious; they shall be beaten.
Beneficial Points:
1. The declaration of disbelief for the one who mocks the Messenger, regardless of whether it is through speech, action,
or gesture.
2. Being hasty is in the nature of a human, whilst calmness is a virtuous trait.
3. Mocking the truth and the people of the truth is a trait of the disbelievers, past and present.
4. No one can protect from the punishment of Allah, except Allah.
5. For the disbelievers, blessings are means of gradually luring them into further destruction.
6. The final outcome of falsehood is non-existence, whereas the final outcome of the truth is eternity.
