 Introduction

The Quran does not require explanation in basic matters.

However, there are verses containing profound thoughts and
scientific signs, which I have deliberately addressed under
the headings of Remarks.
I have organized a chapter (Surah) by dividing it into
segments, sections, and paragraphs. This structure is inherent
to the chapter; no verse has been moved from its original
position.
I have included segment and section headings as well.
These headings, along with the remarks, keep the reader's
thoughts in context and facilitate rapid understanding.
The Quran as a whole is divided into three parts:

 Part-1 (Chapter-2 to Chapter-9): Guidance for the

Guards (Hudan lil Muttaqin):

Part 1 (Chapters 2 to 9) guided the Guards (Al-

Muttaqin) in establishing a new Ummah (community)
within the Religion of Abraham.
This part also identified the Home of Ummah
(Darussalam), extending from Morocco to the Pamir
Mountains, primarily encompassing Arabs and
Persians.
In Part-1, chapter-3 to 9 is called ―Furqan‖ (War
Book). Islam was preached in the Home of Ummah
by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his immediate
followers through the way of struggle and warfare
(Jihad). They defeated the Taghuts (Powers), such as
7
 opposing Tribal Chiefs, Kings, and Emperors, within
the Home of Ummah. And the freed people embraced
Islam rapidly and willingly.
Now, this part (Part 1) provides guidance to the
Guards (Al-Muttaqin) on maintaining Islam within
the Home of Ummah.

 Part-2 (Chapter-10 to Chapter-30) Guidance for

Mankind (Hudan lil Nas):

At the outset of Part 2 (Chapters 10 to 30), the Quran

shifts its focus from the Guards (Al-Muttaqin) to
mankind (Nas). This part primarily addresses
preaching beyond the Home of Ummah (Darussalam /
Morocco to the Pamirs), inviting the rest of humanity
to accept Islam. It motivates them through logic,
historical examples, scientific signs, warnings of
punishment, and promises of rewards in both this life
and the afterlife.
The part highlights saintly individuals (Sufis and
Daees) as potential preachers. In practice, Islam was
primarily spread beyond the Home of Ummah by
them. [The preaching strategy is deliberately
discussed in the Introductions of Part-2.]

 Part-3 (Chapter 31 to 114) Guidance for Muhsinin

(Doers of Good):

This part (Chapters 31 to 114) is intended for the

Muhsinin (Doers of Good). Its purpose is to
strengthen their faith, enhance their spirituality, and

8
 help them become better members of an Islamic
society.
A Muhsinin (Doer of Good) remains affiliated to
the local mosque, supporting the Highest Islamic
Leadership (Caliph or Highest Imam). He fulfills his
role by paying Zakat.
A key distinction between the Muttaqin (Guards)
and the Muhsinin is that a Muttaqi is oath-bound
(Bay'ah) to the Highest Islamic leadership to fight for
the cause of Islam, whereas a Muhsin is not bound by
such an oath.
This part does not provide guidance on struggle
and warfare (Jihad); instead, it prescribes measures
and laws to strengthen Islamic families and societies,
where the Islamic Leadership and the Guards (Al-
Muttaqin) play the central role.

[Hudan lil Muhsinin]
Chapter-31 to Chapter-114

Chapter 31 [Luqman]
Highlight: Introducing Hudan lil Muhsinin [Guidance for the
Doers of Good]

Introduction

At the outset, the chapter (Surah) identifies the Muhsinin

(Doers of Good) and calls upon them to reject false concepts.
It emphasizes their honor as the vicegerents of Allah and
invites them to deepen their understanding of Him and His
actions.
This Surah reiterates key teachings from Parts 1 and 2 of
the Quran. In doing so, it makes this part (Part 3: Hudan lil
Muhsinin) somewhat independent.

 Tafsir of the Surah
Section-1 of Chapter-31 [Verse 1-5]: Turning to Muhsinin
(Doers of Good)

Alif, Lam, Mim; these are signs of the Wise Book, a Guide
and a Mercy to Muhsinin (Doers of Good), those who
establish Salat, and give Zakat, and they believe firmly the
Hereafter. These are on the guidance from their Lord, and
these are the ones who will prosper.

Remarks:

The above verses identify the Quran as a guide and mercy

for the Muhsinin (Doers of Good). Thus, the focus of the
Quran shifts from mankind (Nas) to the Muhsinin.
Accordingly, the Part-3 of the Quran begins here, at
Chapter 31, and is aptly named "Guidance for the Doers
of Good" (Hudan lil Muhsinin).
The overall Quran is divided in three Parts:
 Part-1 (Chapter 2 to 9): Guidance for the Guards
(Hudan lil Muttaqin). It includes the War Book
(Furqan).
 Part-2 (Chapter 10 to 30): Guidance for Mankind
(Hudan lil Nas).
 Part-3 (Chapter 31 to 114): Guidance for the
Doers of Good (Hudan lil Muhsinin).

11
Muhsinin

―Muhsin‖ (the singular form of "Muhsinin") comes from

the root word ―H-S-N,‖ which means ―beautiful.‖
Muhsinin are people who do Ahsaan (acts of
benevolent help) for the highest Islamic leadership or
Caliph (the Leader of the Muslim World).
―Muhsinin‖ is translated as ―Doers of Good.‖
One will subsequently find that the Muhsinin are the
common Muslims of an Islamic society who support the
Highest Islamic Leadership and pay him regular charity
(Zakat).
For example, in 2020, the IRGC (Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps) of Iran were considered Al-
Muttaqin (the Guards), while other Muslims who support
the highest Islamic leadership are regarded as Muhsinin.

Note:

1. The Highest Islamic Leadership / Caliph does not

run government. He may preside over multiple
countries, governed by kings, amirs, elected
presidents, or prime ministers. Each country may
have its own legislature, judiciary, government,
national army, and other institutions.
2. A legislature is primarily required to create day-
to-day laws, such as traffic laws, that are not given in
the Quran. It also establishes national institutions and
their regulations. However, it cannot replace or
contradict the laws prescribed in the Quran. If the
legislature of a country under the jurisdiction of the

12
 Highest Islamic Leadership deviates, he may dissolve
it or remove it through jihad.

A Muhsin remains allied to the Imam of the local

mosque (village or community mosque) as a means of
maintaining allegiance to the Highest Islamic Leadership.
He attends the mosque whenever called by the Adhan and
join the prayer. He also pays Zakat to the local mosque,
which then forwards the Zakat to the Highest Islamic
Leadership.
The Muhsinin engage in various good professions and
have been promised great rewards in the Quran.
The main difference between Muttaqin (Guards) and
Muhsinin (Doers of Good) is that the Muttaqin are oath
(Bay‘ah) bound to the Highest Islamic Leadership to fight
for the cause of Islam, but Muhsinin are not oath bound.
A Muhsin may not have taken oath (Bay'ah) or may
not have been permitted to do so because he may be a
student, or a teacher, or a scientist, or an intellectual, or
involved in a full time profession, or a slave, or serving in
a national defense forces, or a vital government servant,
or Islamic Leadership thinks him lack personal discipline,
or Islamic Leadership thinks him physically or morally
unfit, or Islamic Leadership determines that the
organization of Al-Muttaqin does not currently require
additional members in the organization of Al Muttaqin,
and so on.
The Muttaqin are required to believe in all prophets
and the revealed books, as stated in verses 2:2-4 of the
Quran. But, the Muhsinin are not explicitly called upon in
the verses under discussion to believe in other prophets
and their books.
13
 The following are the basic requirements to be a
Muhsin
a. Performing regular Salat at the local mosque.
b. Believing in the Hereafter firmly.
c. Paying Zakat at the local mosque to be sent to the
Highest Islamic Leadership.
A Muhsin performs good deeds. The following are a
few examples of the good deeds mentioned in this part of
the Quran:
a. Praying extra, especially Tahajjud, at night.
b. Contributing extra for the cause of Islam, if
possible.
c. Observing the laws, rituals, and customs outlined
in this section.

Section 2 of Chapter-31 [Verse 6-9]: Entertaining

Narrations, Hadith and Sunnah (Main Discussion)

But there are among men those who purchase entertaining

narrations (lahwaI hadithi) to mislead from the Path of God
without knowledge and throw ridicule; for such there will be
a Humiliating Penalty.
When Our Verses are rehearsed to such a one, he turns
away in arrogance, as if he heard them not, as if there were
deafness in both his ears; announce to him a grievous
Penalty.
For those who believe and work righteous deeds there
will be Jannaatul-Naim to dwell therein; the promise of God
is true, and He is Exalted in Power, Wise.

14
Remarks:

The verse in the first paragraph above, ―But there are

among men those who purchase entertaining narrations
to mislead from the Path of God without knowledge and
throw ridicule; for such there will be a Humiliating
Penalty.‖, points out the enemies of the Muhsinin.
In this verse, the word ―purchase‖ does not refer to
buying with money; rather, it means ―accepting an idea.‖
This usage is similar to the expression, ―I do not buy your
idea,‖ which means ―I do not accept your idea.‖
I have translated the above verse word for word. In
most translations, ―without knowledge‖ is placed beside
―entertaining narrations,‖ as in ―entertaining narrations
without knowledge.‖ This implies that the narrations lack
knowledge (idle tales). But, in the original Arabic verse,
―without knowledge‖ follows ―to mislead from the Path
of God,‖ rendering it as ―to mislead from the Path of God
without knowledge.‖ Here, ―without knowledge‖ means
―without being clear to a Muslim.‖
Therefore, these are not idle tales but rather poisonous
ideas propagated by malicious intellectuals. These ideas
are delivered through public speaking, novels, poetry,
dramas, movies, newspapers, and other mediums—
sometimes with elements of entertainment—to mislead
the Muhsinin from the Path of God, primarily in two
ways:
Firstly, they mislead by presenting anti-Islamic ideas
in a way that does not appear overtly anti-Islamic.
Additionally, they embellish these ideas with entertaining
narratives to make them more appealing. A Muslim
lacking a strong understanding of the Quran may
15
unconsciously accept these teachings (without
knowledge).
A Muslim does not abandon his basic faith, but many
sugar-coated concepts and ideologies, appearing neutral
and logical, can be implanted in his mind, potentially
diverting him from the Straight Path of the Quran.
Secondly, they mislead by ridiculing Islam or key
Islamic figures. In such cases, a Muslim may recognize
that his religion is being mocked but might dismiss it as
mere humor. However, this approach undermines Islam
by diminishing its significance.
How can we identify such ―entertaining narrations‖?
Can ―The Arabian Nights‖ (Kitāb al-Laylah wa-l-Laylah)
or the song ―Waka Waka Eea Eea‖ be considered
examples of ―entertaining narrations to mislead from the
Path of God without knowledge and throw ridicule‖?
These do not mislead from the Path of God by
keeping a Muslim unaware (without knowledge), nor do
they ridicule Islam. Therefore, the verse does not look
like talking about these kinds of books and songs.
Can we put the books of Biological Evolution,
Communism, Socialism, Democracy, Atheism,
Humanity, etc., as examples? These tend to mislead
people from the Path of God, but the concepts do not do
so deceptively or without clarity to a Muslim / without
knowledge. Moreover, these do not ridicule Islam. These
are clear oppositions. Therefore, the verses are not
referring to this kind of knowledge.
In pagan societies, there are stories of idols that are
integral to their faith. In Hindu mythology, there are tales
about how the idol of Ganesha came to have the head of
an elephant, how the River Ganges formed, and how Ram
16
fought against Rawan with monkey soldiers. There are
also stories of ghosts and demons. These narratives may
influence those with little knowledge, making them a
kind of "entertaining narrations to mislead from the Path
of God without knowledge." However, Muslims are not
affected by these stories, nor do they ridicule Islam.
One will find perfect examples of such
communications in books, newspapers, and other media,
which mislead from the Path of God deceptively / without
knowledge:
Fictitious stories that narrate how Muslim girls under
18 are married to older men as their second, third, or
fourth wives are sometimes designed to ridicule Islam.
However, the reality is different: a family with more than
one wife can be happier and safer for children. Moreover,
a Muslim woman receives a dowry, and she has the right
to divorce and remarry. Additionally, Muslim societies
adhere to the practice of hijab. The matter of ‗marrying
more than one woman‘ may appear as a weakness of
Islam when viewed against the backdrop of infidel
societies, but it should be considered from an overall
perspective.
Religious people, who are distant from the modern
way of life, are often looked down upon, even though the
effects of modernization are clearly visible. Democracy
has filled the rich world with vices and turned the leaders
of the poor world into thieves, with only a few
exceptions. It has made Arab leaders autocratic. Political
parties are now little more than joint venture companies
run by capitalists and foreign forces.

17
 The guardianship of the Highest Islamic Leadership /
Caliph offers the best system of governance, where rulers
of the countries remain under control.
Therefore, the Quran must be accepted as the only
Book of guidance. It provides perfect guidance in
personal, family, social, national, and international life. It
builds a perfect faith in God. Other books may be read,
but the knowledge from those books should not be
considered as faith-building knowledge or as knowledge
of guidance. The Quran is perfect and complete.

―Verily this Qur'an does guide to that which is

most right…‖ [Al Quran 17:9]

"…Whoever forsaking God takes Satan for a

friend has of a surety suffered a loss that is
manifest.‖ [Al Quran 4:119]

Humans are often wrong. Before the 1920s, Einstein

and his contemporaries believed that the universe was
static (neither expanding nor contracting). A static
universe would need to be infinite to counterbalance
gravitational force, and such an infinite universe would
be eternal. Within the concept eternal universe, the idea
of a Creator became meaningless. Many came to believe
that humans had evolved from apes. They took infidel
communist leaders as their awliya (friends, helpers, and
guides) and passed away with them.
Only an expanding universe can explain the darkness
of night (as discussed in Olber‘s Paradox in Section-1 of
Chapter-6). An expanding universe also shows the signs
of initiation. By referencing the darkness of night as a
18
sign, the Quran has always indicated that the universe
was expanding and that it was initiated by Allah from a
state of unity.
Therefore, ―the Guidance of Allah—that is the
Guidance‖:

―Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied

with thee unless thou follow their form of
religion. Say: "The Guidance of Allah—that is the
Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires after
the knowledge which hath reached thee, then
wouldst thou find neither Protector nor Helper
against God.‖ [Al Quran 2:120]

―O ye who believe, guard your own souls. If ye

follow guidance, no hurt can come to you from
those who stray. The goal of you all is to God; it
is He that will show you the truth of all that you
do.‖ [Al Quran 5:105]

What a Muslim should do if someone is using

entertaining narrations to mislead from the Path of God
without knowledge and throw ridicule?
A Muslim should counter such individuals with
arguments based on the Quran. However, as the verses
under discussion state: ―When Our verses are rehearsed
to such a one, he turns away in arrogance, as if he heard
them not, as if there were deafness in both his ears.‖
In such a situation, a Muslim should do as the verses
under discussion instruct: announce to him a grievous
penalty. The verses do not instruct Muslims to stop them

19
by force, because it poses the Quran weak in knowledge
and argument.

Hadith and Sunnah

The LahwaI Hadithi (Entertaining Narrations) is also

interpreted as the Hadith we find today. The subject is
discussed under the following headings:
1. Prophet‘s Order
2. Hadith is Wahi (Revelation)
3. Way to understand the Quran
4. The Hadith adds to the Quran
5. Influence of the Torah on the Tribe of Quraysh
6. Following Prophet (pbuh)
7. Should we burn the Hadith?
8. How can we establish Salat, collect Zakat, and
perform Hajj if the Hadith are not to be followed?
9. Sunni Islam
10. Sunni Islam and Politics
11. Sunnah and Strict Rule
12. Music
13. A few Suggestions
14. Conclusion

1. Prophet‘s Order

The Hadiths are the sayings and actions of Prophet

Muhammad (pbuh). Several Sahabah (Companions of the
Prophet) used to write down the Hadiths, but the Prophet
ordered them to burn them:

20
 "Abu Hurayra said, the Messenger of God came
out to us while we were writing his Hadiths and
said; "What are you writing?" We said, "Hadiths
that we hear from you, Messenger of God." He
said, "A book other than the book of God?!" We
said, "Should we talk about you?" He said, "Talk
about me, that would be fine, but those who will
lie will go to Hell." Abu Hurayra said, we
collected what we wrote of Hadiths and burned
them in fire." [Ulum Al-Hadith"]

"Abu Hurayra said, the Messenger of God was

informed that some people were writing his
Hadiths. He took to the pulpit of the mosque and
said, "What are these books that I heard you
wrote? I am just a human being. Anyone who has
any of these writings should bring it here. Abu
Hurayra said we collected all these and burned
them in fire." [Taq-yeed Al-Ilm]

Therefore, Hadiths should not be used as the source of

Islamic laws and rituals. If something is not mentioned in
the Quran, a person may do it any way he deems
righteous.
Faith determines the final destination—Paradise
(Jannaat) or Hell—while deeds determine the level within
that destination. The more a believer performs righteous
deeds, the greater is his reward, and vice versa.

―Those who believe, and those who follow the

Jewish, and the Christians and the Sabians,- any
who believe in God and the Last Day, and work
21
 righteousness, shall have their reward with their
Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they
grieve.‖ [Al Quran 2:62]

The Quran mentions many righteous deeds but does

not provide a complete list. Every person‘s heart
inherently knows what is righteous and what is evil.
The Quran states that humans are vicegerents of God
and are inherently learning creatures. They are granted
the freedom to determine how to fulfill the orders of the
Quran. For example, the Quran commands believers to
engage in Jihad but does not specify the methods of
fighting, the tactics to use, or the handling of weapons. It
is the responsibility of the battle commander to determine
these strategies while keeping the principles of the Quran
in mind. Perhaps this is why the Prophet (pbuh) ordered
the burning of the Hadith—to ensure his followers had
the freedom to act according to their understanding,
guided by the Quran.

2. Hadith is Wahi (Revelation)

The Hadith is considered wahi (revelation), as indicated

by the following verse:

―And he does not speak of his own desires; he

speaks but a revelation (wahiun)‖.
[Al Quran 53:3-4]

Wahi can become corrupted, as indicated by the

following verse:

22
 ―Never did We send (wahi) to an apostle or a
prophet before thee, but when he framed a desire,
satan threw something into his desire. But, God
abolishes anything that satan throws in, and God
will establish His signs; for God is full of
Knowledge and Wisdom.‖ [Al Quran 22:52]

Thus, the Hadith, being wahi, is susceptible to corruption.

Allah ensures the correction of wahi, but not all of it,
as indicated by the following verse:

―That He may make the suggestions thrown in by

Satan, but a trial for those in whose hearts is a
disease and who are hardened of heart: verily the
wrong-doers are in a schism far.‖
[Al Quran 22:53]

Moreover, satanic jinns introduced false information and

thoughts into the Hadiths while they remained unwritten
for about two hundred years.
Now, what a good Muslim should do is outlined in
the following verse:

―And that those on whom knowledge has been

bestowed may learn that the (Qur'an) is the Truth
from thy Lord, and that they may believe therein,
and their hearts may be made humbly to it: for
verily God is the Guide of those, who believe, to
the Straight Way.‖ [Al Quran 22:54]

The Quran was not sent as wahi; it was sent as ruh. Wahi
comes as thoughts in the mind (qalb), where Satan can
23
introduce false thoughts, but the ruh remains protected, as
the following verse says:

―It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak

to him except by inspiration (wahian), or from
behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to
reveal with Allah's permission what Allah wills:
for He is Most High, Most Wise.
And thus have We, by Our command, sent
inspiration (ruhun) to thee: thou knewest not what
was Book (Quran), and what was Faith; but We
have made it a Light, wherewith We guide such of
Our servants as We will; and verily thou dost
guide to the Straight Way.
[Al Quran 42: 51-52]

Since the verses of the Quran were sent as ruhs, satan

could not harm them. The nature of how divine verses
can be ruhs and why satan cannot harm the ruhs is
discussed below.

2a. What is Ruh?

According to the Quran, a ruh is a command of Allah:

―They ask thee concerning the ruh. Say: ―The ruh

is command of my Lord.‖ Of knowledge it is only
a little that is communicated to you.‖
[Al Quran 17: 85]

A force field functions as a command in nature. For

example, the Strong Nuclear Force Field commands the
24
repulsive protons to remain within the nucleus of an
atom.
Similarly, the Hadith describes the soul as an entity
possessing both attractive and repulsive forces:

―Prophet said: ―The souls are like conscripted

soldiers; those whom they recognize, they get
along with; and those whom they do not
recognize, they will not get along with.‖‖
[Bukhari, Muslim]

In an atom, the Strong Nuclear Force Field recognizes

protons and holds them within the nucleus. It does not
recognize electrons, so it does not pull them inside.
So, in light of the Quran and Hadith, we might refer
to the Strong Nuclear Force Field as a Ruh.
A Ruh is an elementary soul. It can be defined as an
elementary force field, specifically designed to function
as a command within nature.
[The ruh is deliberately discussed in Chapter-1]

2b. Why the Verses are called Ruhs?

The verses under discussion state: ―He does send down

His angels with the ruh to such of His servants as He
pleases‖. In this context, the verses of the Quran are
referred to as ruhs. The reason why the verses are called
ruhs is discussed below.
The Quran was written in a computer; the main
components of this computer are mentioned in the Quran
as follows:

25
 Pen. It is a taught (programmed) Pen: ―He Who
taught the pen‖ [Al Quran 96:4]. The Pen wrote the
Quran on command. ―He Who taught the pen. Taught
man that which he knew not‖ [Al Quran 96:4-5]
 Protected Disc (Lawh-Mahfuz): The Pen writes on a
Protected Disc (Lawh-Mahfuz): ―…there is not a
grain in the darkness of the earth, nor anything fresh
or dry, but is in a record clear.‖ [Al Quran 6:59]. It
is a huge disc, possibly larger than the Earth,
revolving on the Arsh beyond the universes. It
functions as the data bank for all of creation.
 Mother of the Book: It is the system that can give
birth to a book. In reality, it is a highly developed
motherboard, equipped with the necessary circuits,
devices, and programs to produce a book on
command: ―And verily, it is in the Mother of the
Book, in Our presence, high, full of wisdom.‖ [Al
Quran 43:4]
 The Computer: The Motherboard (Mother of the
Book), the Disc (Lawh-Mahfuz), and the Pen together
form a vast computer.
 Allah may edit a book that the computer has
produced: ―Allah doth blot out (delete) or confirm
(save) what He pleaseth; with Him is the Mother of
the Book.‖ [Al Quran 13:39]
Thus, Allah has a vast computer in which He created
a virtual universe as the Master Design of creation. This
Master Design included virtual representations of living
creatures, each with their own virtual lives, experienced
according to their virtual brains and souls.
Virtual Muhammad (pbuh), being frequently guided
by the verses, preached Islam within the virtual universe
26
as well. Later, the computer organized these verses into a
book, refining and formatting them as a recitation.
Finally, Allah reviewed and edited it according to His
will.
[The computer is deliberately discussed in Section-9
of Capter-6.]
After the creation of the real universe, the computer
transmitted the verses to the angels in the form of
memory data. The angels carried these memory data and
delivered these in small packets into the brain of Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh), where these were stored.
The verses were sent as memory data, produced from
low-energy electromagnetic force fields. In the religious
scriptures, a 'force field' is referred to as 'ruh.'
These data were receivable by the brain of Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) due to an arrangement made by
Gabriel during his childhood. Gabriel created a path
through the Prophet‘s backbone, connecting to a memory
zone in his brain. The entry point of this path manifested
as a swollen muscle (Mohr-e-Nubuwwat) on his
backbone, just below his neck.
In the Cave of Hira, Gabriel embraced the Prophet
and activated the path. He then inserted the database of
the Quran, along with a few verses. This database is
referred to as dhikra in the following verse:

―…and We have sent down unto thee the

remembrance (dhikra / data-base) that thou may
speak out to men what is sent for them, and that
they may give thought.‖ [Al Quran 16:44]

27
 Following this, there was a significant gap in
revelation to allow the system in his brain to stabilize.
Subsequently, Gabriel's minor angels periodically
brought the verses and inserted them directly into his
brain. The verses were stored in encoded positions, such
as under Alif, Lam, Mim; or Ta, Sin; or Ha, Mim; or under
other predetermined signs within the database. This
ensured that the verses remained in their proper positions,
even though several Surahs were revealed simultaneously
in small packets, sometimes over extended periods of
time.

Note:

Gabriel is capable of performing surgery. He created

the zygote of Jesus by cloning a cell from Mary and
implanting it in her womb under Allah‘s direction. He
also performed surgical operations on Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) at least twice: once during his
childhood and again just before the Night Journey
(Miraj).

2c. Why the Verses were sent as Ruhs?

Allah uses several ways to communicate with humans, as

mentioned in the following verses:

It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak

to him except by inspiration (wahian), or from
behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to

28
 reveal with Allah's permission what Allah wills:
for He is Most High, Most Wise.
[Al Quran 42:51]

Among the methods of communication, wahi is the

most convenient and commonly used. Wahi refers to a
thought inspired directly by Allah. An ordinary human
receiving wahi from Allah might struggle to discern
whether the thought is truly an inspiration from Allah, or
a whisper from Satan, or his own thought. However, the
Prophet (pbuh) had the ability to distinguish between
these sources. Moreover, the Satan specifically assigned
against him was transformed into a good one.
Nevertheless, other satans could still whisper evil
thoughts into his mind (qalb).
But, Satan could not through anything into the verses
of the Quran, as they were sent as memory-data
composed of electromagnetic force fields (ruhs). Angels,
coming in groups, carried the memory-data of the
relevant verses and implanted them into the Prophet‘s
(pbuh) brain. The memory-data were imprinted in a
designated database known as Dhikra. Whenever the
Prophet (pbuh) intended to recite, the verses would
descend from the Dhikra into his mind (qalb).
Sending down a written book, like the Torah, is the
safest method. However, since Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) was unlettered, another secure method was
employed—delivering the verses as ruhs (memory-data
composed of electromagnetic force fields) directly into
his brain.

29
3. Way to understand the Quran

Many believe that the Hadiths are necessary to

understand the Quran, but this is not entirely correct. The
basic verses of the Quran are absolutely clear
(Muhkamat). One has to follow only the clear verses. A
few verses are ambiguous (Mutashabihat) that are not
needed for the common followers:

―He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In

it are verses absolutely clear (Muhkamatun); they
are the basis of the Book. Others are allegorical.
But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the
part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord,
and searching for its hidden meanings…‖
[Al Quran 3:7]

The biography (Sirat) of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

is the primary source of knowledge for understanding the
Quran, as the Quran was revealed in small parts within
the context of the Prophet‘s life.
In addition, early Islamic history and older scriptures,
such as the Torah and the Gospel, serve as sources of
knowledge that aid in understanding the Quran.
Other subjects, such as Geology, History, Political
Science, Economics, Physics, Astrophysics, Botany,
Zoology, and so on, are also relevant in interpreting
certain verses. However, these disciplines are not
guidance (hudan); only the Quran is the guidance.

30
4. The Hadith adds to the Quran

The Quran builds Faith, develops spirituality, and drives

into the righteous deeds of the Straight Path, but the
Hadith put restrictions and often adds rituals that are not
suggested by the Quran.
Hadith collectors gathered hundreds of thousands of
Hadiths, but only about five thousand are written and
available today. During the selection process, judgment
of common human played a role. A significant portion of
the Hadiths pertains to rituals. A few Hadith contain
incorrect information and may contribute to
misconceptions.
The Torah introduced many rules and rituals that are
not mentioned in the Quran. If something is not
mentioned in the Quran, it should be considered forgiven
by Allah. However, many of the rules and rituals from the
Torah are endorsed in the religion of the Quran in the
name of Sunnah:
a. Painting living creatures was forbidden in the
Torah, but it is not forbidden in the Quran. It is,
however, made forbidden by the Hadith.
b. Making sculptures of living creatures was
forbidden in the Torah, but it is not forbidden in
the Quran. It is made forbidden by the Hadith.
c. A Torah-following Jew eats animals with divided
hooves and that chew cud, and a Sunnah-
following Muslim also eats animals with divided
hooves and that chew cud. However, the Quran
allows the consumption of all animals except
swine.

31
d. Eating camel is forbidden in the Torah because it
does not chew cud. However, many Sunnah-
following Muslims also consider eating camel
wrong (makruh), even though the Quran
specifically makes it halal by describing the
method of its slaughter (nahr).
e. A religious Jew keeps a beard. The Sunnah also
instructs a Muslim to keep a beard. The Quran
does not command to keep a beard.
f. A religious Jew colors his beard, and the Sunnah
also encourages a Muslim to color his beard, but
not in black. However, the Quran does not
mention anything about coloring the beard.
g. A religious Jew keeps long hair, and a strict
Sunnah follower is also encouraged to keep long
hair. However, the Quran does not mention
hairstyle, except once during Hajj.
h. A religious Jew wears a cap, and a Muslim also
wears a similar cap, but slightly larger. However,
the Quran does not spell out the wearing of a cap.
i. A person committing adultery is to be stoned to
death, according to the law of the Torah, not the
Quran. [Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once ordered
stoning to death, most likely before the command
of caning was revealed in the Quran.]
j. A Jewish woman wears a niqab (veil on the face),
and a Muslim woman also wears a niqab.
However, the Quran does not specifically mention
the niqab.
k. A Jewish woman is forbidden to go to a
graveyard, and a Muslim woman is also forbidden
to do so. However, the Quran does not forbid this.
32
 l. A religious Jew takes a ritual bath, and the Sunnah
also directs Muslims to do so. However, the
Quran does not specifically mention it.
m. A religious Jew considers urine, blood, feces,
semen, and similar substances as unclean. A
Sunnah-following Muslim also considers these
substances unclean. However, the Quran does not
explicitly declare anything unclean.
n. Many Muslims believe that violating any of the
Ten Commandments is a major sin (Kabirah
Gunah).
The Quran does not forbid watching or making
picture, sculpture, video, etc. However, a man is required
to lower his gaze if a woman (a living woman, not a
picture) appears without hijab.
Singing and playing music are not forbidden in the
Quran. These are made prohibited by the Hadith.
There is no specific dress code for men in the Quran,
so wearing shorts by a male player is not forbidden.
However, it is prohibited in the Shariah.
There is no concept of 'unclean substance' in the
Quran. A person's dress or body cannot be unclean for
salat (prayer) due to any substance, wet or dry, sticking to
the body or clothing.
A man needs washing for salat in two cases only:
―after being sided to his wife due to ejaculation
(Janaba)‖ and ―while coming back after attending natural
call‖. The Quran does not specify how much of the body
needs to be washed; he may wash only the necessary
parts. The Quran does not mandate a full bath in any case.

33
 If drops of semen, or urine, or particles of feces
bounce back, or spurt into body from outside, a man
need not to wash it, because the washing is needed only
after Janaba and after natural call. It is not required if
something happens to spurt into the body or clothing.
Moreover, the Quran does not define anything as 'unclean
substance'.
The Quran does not classify any animal as 'unclean.'
Therefore, a pet dog is permitted to sleep on its owner's
bed.
The Quran does not forbid interaction between men
and women. Therefore, working together in an
organization or mingling in a formal gathering is not
prohibited as long as they observe hijab according to the
Quran.
Working for a man who operates with money earned
through riba (interest), whether he is a Jew, Christian, or
otherwise, is not forbidden. Similarly, serving in a bank
that deals with interest or in a firm established with
interest-based loans is also not forbidden.
Smoking is not forbidden in the Quran.
Alcohol is to be avoided, but it is not explicitly
declared haram in the Quran. A new Muslim who has a
habit of drinking alcohol may take years to stop
completely, as the Quran instructed avoiding alcohol
gradually. They may adhere to the following verse:

―On those who believe and do deeds of

righteousness there is no blame for what they are
intoxicated with, when they guard themselves
from evil, and believe, and do deeds of
righteousness; again guard themselves from evil
34
 and believe; again guard themselves from evil and
do good. For God loveth those who do good.‖
[Al Quran 5:93]

However, it is better to leave drinking immediately

after accepting Islam. The Quran discourages and forbids
drinking alcohol to the extent that it is almost haram.
Most likely, it was not declared haram because pre-
Islamic Arabs used to drink. Many of them would be
discouraged to accept Islam if alcohol were made haram
straightway. So, time and scope was given. The same
argument applies today as well, in case of a new Muslim.
Therefore, serving in a shop or hotel that sale or serve
alcohol is not forbidden.
Alcohol is not unclean as well; one can perform salat
with alcohol sticking to his body and clothing.
The punishment of intoxication is brought out from
the practice of Madinah, while the Quran suggests no
punishment.
The Hadith enjoin many petty acts, such as sitting
during drinking and urinating, circumcision, aqiqah, etc.
These acts look religious, but the Quran says nothing
about these.
Hadith can sometimes be misused to divert people
from the straight path of the Quran. Those following
various rituals derived from Hadith may believe they are
performing religious acts, while in reality, they are not.
Furthermore, Hadith might tempt a follower to
wrongly engage in a battle of jihad, potentially leading to
death and destruction that is not acceptable to Allah.
However, the Quran provides precise guidance on jihad.
Hadith reduces the flexibility of Islamic Leadership.
35
 Many Hadith of the same matter differ. For example,
the sermon of Prophet‘s last Hajj has Shia version and
Sunni version. The versions differ greatly. It has aided
Shia-Sunni fitna. The version of Shia is about three pages
long, and the version of Sunni is about half a page long.
Narrators often conveyed what they deemed important;
one such narrator focused only on the portion addressing
women:

―My father narrated to me that he witnessed the

farewell Hajj with the Messenger of Allah. So he
thanked and praised Allah and he reminded and
gave admonition. He mentioned a story in his
narration and he (the Prophet) said: ―And indeed I
order you to be good to the women, for they are
but captives with you over whom you have no
power than that, except if they come with
manifest evil behavior. If they do that, then
abandon their beds and beat them with a beating
that is not harmful. And if they obey you then you
have no cause against them. Indeed you have
rights over your women, and your women have
rights over you. As for your rights over your
women, then they must not allow anyone whom
you dislike to treat on your bedding (furniture),
nor to admit anyone in your home that you
dislike. And their rights over you are that you
treat them well in clothing them and feeding
them.‖ [Tirmidhi]

―It was narrated that: Sulaiman bin Amr bin

Ahwas said: ―My father told me that he was

36
 present on the Farewell pilgrimage with the
Messenger of Allah. He praised and glorified
Allah, and reminder and exhorted (the people).
Then he said: 'I enjoin good treatment of women,
for they are prisoners with you, and you have no
right to treat them otherwise, unless they commit
clear indecency. If they do that, then forsake them
in their beds and hit them, but without causing
injury or leaving a mark; if they obey you, then do
not seek means of annoyance against them. You
have rights over your women and your women
have rights over you. Your rights over your
women are that they are not to allow anyone,
whom you dislike on treat on your bedding
(furniture), not allow anyone whom you dislike to
enter your houses. And their rights over you are
that should treat them kindly with regard to their
clothing and food.‖ [Sunan Ibn Maja]

Many sects (firqas) have emerged due to differences

in Hadith interpretations, including Sunni, Hanafi,
Hanbali, Salafi, Shia, Twelver, Ismaili, Alawite, and
others. If everyone were to follow only the Quran, these
divisions would not exist.

"Say: "Bring forward your witnesses to prove that

Allah did forbid so and so."
If they bring such witnesses, be not you
among them. Nor follow you the vain desires of
such as treat Our verses as falsehoods and such as
believe not in the hereafter; for they hold others as
equal with their Guardian-Lord.
37
 Say: "Come, I will rehearse what Allah has
prohibited you from:
Join not anything as equal with Him.
Be good to your parents. Kill not your
children on a plea of want—We provide
sustenance for you and for them.
Come not nigh to shameful deeds whether
open or secret.
Take not life, which Allah has made sacred,
except by way of justice and law.
Thus, does He command you that you may
learn wisdom.‖
And (Say):
―Come not near to the orphan's property
except to improve it until he attain the age of full
strength.
Give measure and weight with justice—no
burden do We place on any soul but that which it
can bear.
Whenever you speak, speak justly even if a
near relative is concerned.
And fulfill the covenant of Allah (Covenant
made to the Highest Islamic Leadership to fight
for the cause of Islam—Bay‘ah).
Thus, does He command you that you may
remember.
Verily, this is My way, leading straight—
follow it; follow not paths; they will scatter you
about from His path."
Thus, does He command you that you may be
righteous."
[Al Quran 6: 150-153]
38
 The Quran is an independent and complete Book of
religion. There is no need to incorporate anything from
the Torah or Hadith, as subsequent verses affirm:

―Moreover, We gave Moses the Book, completing

to those who would do right, and explaining all
things in detail, and a guide and a mercy, that they
might believe in the meeting with their Lord.
And this (the Quran) is a Book, which We
have revealed as a blessing: so follow it and be
righteous, that ye may receive mercy.
Lest ye should say: "The Book was sent down
to two Peoples before us, and for our part, we
remained unacquainted with all that they learned
by assiduous study"
Or, lest ye should say: "If the Book had only
been sent down to us, we should have followed its
guidance better than they."
Now then hath come unto you a clear (Book)
from your Lord, and a guide and a mercy: then
who could do more wrong than one who rejects
God's verses, and turns away there-from? In good
time shall We requite those who turn away from
Our Verses with a dreadful penalty, for their
turning away.
Are they waiting to see if the angels come to
them, or thy Lord, or certain of the Signs of thy
Lord! The day that certain of the Signs of thy
Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to
believe in them then if it believed not before nor

39
 earned righteousness through its Faith. Say: "Wait
ye: we too are waiting."
[Al Quran 6: 154-158]

If something is not mentioned in the Quran, it is left to

human discretion. One should act in a way that one feels
righteous and aligns with moral principles.
Thus, the outcome for those who impose restrictions
based on the Torah and Hadith and divide the Ummah
into sects will be as follows:

―As for those who divide their religion and break

up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the
least: their affair is with God: He will in the end
tell them the truth of all that they did.
[Al Quran 6: 159]

Prophet (pbuh) ordered to burn the Hadith. So, the

Hadith are not properly documented in time. Therefore,
the Hadith cannot be relied upon to devise rules and
rituals. The followers of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) have
only one Book to follow—the Quran. Imposing
unnecessary prohibitions and restricting the lives of
Muslims is considered a sin.

5. Influence of the Torah on the Tribe of Quraysh

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and several of his close

companions were from the Tribe of Quraysh, descendants
of Prophet Ismail (AS). While the Quraysh had strayed
far from the pure monotheistic faith of Prophets Noah
(AS) and Abraham (AS), they retained some elements of
40
their ancestral religion. For example, Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) was circumcised as a child by his grandfather, a
practice rooted in Abrahamic tradition. They also
observed dietary habits that resembled those prescribed in
Jewish law and recognized Allah as the One God. This
understanding is reflected in the name of Prophet
Muhammad‘s father, Abdullah, meaning "servant of
Allah."
Moreover, the Quraysh revered certain symbols of
their heritage, such as the footprint of Abraham, which
they protected. They also held the stone on which
Abraham stood as sacred, underscoring their partial
adherence to his legacy.
Most likely, the Quraysh placed idols worshipped by
the other tribes within the Kaaba to attract them for
pilgrimage. This strategy was primarily driven by
economic and security considerations, as it bolstered
trade and strengthened tribal alliances. However, over
time, many among the Quraysh themselves gradually
began worshipping these idols, further deviating from the
monotheistic faith of their forefathers.
The Jews were regarded as a distinguished and
enlightened race since the time of Prophet Solomon (AS).
The pre-Islamic Quraysh were aware of their ancestral
connection to the Jews, recognizing themselves as their
cousins through Prophet Ismail (AS) and Prophet Isaac
(AS). It is likely that this awareness led the Quraysh to
imitate certain Jewish practices and traditions, reflecting
their respect for the shared Abrahamic heritage.
If a religious law or ritual from the Torah is not
mentioned in the Quran, it is not a religious obligation for
Muslims today. Our guidance comes solely from the
41
Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),
not from the religious practices developed among the
Jews. For instance, the Torah forbade the drawing of
images of living beings. However, the Quran does not
address this matter, indicating that Allah has abrogated
this prohibition for the followers of Islam.
Judaism is often challenging to follow due to its
numerous rules and rituals, while Christianity, in contrast,
is seen as overly simplistic in its approach. Neither
extreme tends to produce the best outcomes for the
common people. The Quran, however, offers a balanced,
middle path—combining guidance with practicality to
lead humanity toward a righteous and fulfilling way of
life.

6. Following Prophet (pbuh)

The Quran does not explicitly command followers to

adhere to the Sunnah of any Prophet. However, some
people cite various verses to support the idea of following
the Sunnah. Below, we discuss the most prominent of
these verses and their interpretations:

―O you who believe, obey Allah, the Messenger,

and those in command among you. If you disagree
about something, refer it back to Allah and the
Messenger if you believe in Allah and the Last
Day. That is the best thing to do and gives the best
result.‖ [Al Quran 4: 59]

Now Prophet (pbuh) is dead. So, he cannot be followed

directly and something cannot be referred back to him.
42
Now, in light of relevant verses, the Muslims should obey
the Highest Islamic Leadership / Caliph (representing the
Prophet), Additionally, the Leadership in the Forces of
Muttaqin should be obeyed by the Muttaqin, and
Mosque-Based Leaderships aligned with the Highest
Islamic Leadership should be obeyed by general people.
They will obey the orders related to the Quran.
Obedience does not imply imitating a person. If
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had intended for his actions
and words to be obeyed in the same manner after his
death, he would not have ordered the burning of Hadith.
He wanted the Quran to remain the ultimate source of
guidance for Muslims.
The following verse is also often cited as evidence for
the obligation to follow the Sunnah:

―You have good in the Messenger of Allah, for all

who put their hope in Allah and the Last Day and
remember Allah much. [Al Quran 33:21]

Prophet (pbuh) possessed many admirable qualities,

such as patience, firmness, righteousness, and so on.
During the challenging period of the Battle of Khandak,
the Muslims faced significant hardships. It was at this
time the above verse was revealed, encouraging the
believers to endure the difficulties with patience and
firmness.

43
7. Should we burn the Hadith?

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) burned the Hadiths to

safeguard Islam from deviating from the Quran. These
Hadiths were written by Sahabah almost verbatim.
The books of Hadith available today were collected
from oral narrations of general people approximately 100
to 300 years after Prophet‘s (pbuh) departure. The
collectors gathered hundreds of thousands of Hadiths but
selected only a few thousand. Consequently, Hadith-
based Islam has been shaped according to the mentalities
and interpretations of collectors and jurisprudents, such as
Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki, and so on.
However, the Hadiths available today can be used to
know Prophet‘s life, Islamic history, significant events,
societies and culture of early Islam. They must not be
used to derive religious rules, rituals, or practices, as the
religion is based solely on the Quran.
The Quran is complete as a religious guide. It does
not delve into matters, such as how a man should brush
his teeth, or trim his beard, or how Selçuk should develop
his Kızılelma, as these are not matters concerning
religion. A religion based solely on the Quran would be
light and objective.

8. How can we establish Salat, collect Zakat, and

perform Hajj if the Hadith are not to be followed?

The Quran does not specify the procedures for fulfilling

many rituals, such as Salat, Zakat, Hajj, and so on.
Should we then rely on the Hadith to perform these?

44
 But the Hadith too do not deliberately narrate how to
fulfill these orders. For example, there is no Hadith that
deliberately narrates how to perform salat? We follow the
system set by Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) in the mosque of
Madinah, or by Hazrat Ali in the mosque of Kufa. A
tradition does not change.
Later, various scholars incorporated different Hadiths
into the traditional procedures, leading to the creation of
diverse ways of praying. These variations contributed to
the formation of sects, such as Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki,
and others.

8a. Salat

'Salat' means 'connection' and is commonly translated as

'prayer.' However, when combined with 'Akimis,' as in
'Akimis Salat' (Establish Connection), it becomes a term
referring to the act of establishing connection with God
through group prayer (jamat) under the leadership of the
local mosque. This practice includes reciting the Quran
during Salat and subsequently implementing the
commands, derived from the recitation, in the society.
Typically, the process unfolds as follows:
The people of a village or community gather in the
mosque upon hearing the Adhan, which establishes a
connection (salat) between them and the Imam of the
local mosque. Together, they pray as a group (jamat),
which establishes a connection (salat) with God. The
prayer primarily involves reciting verses from the Quran.
After the prayer, the teachings and the commands of the
Quran are implemented within the village. In this way,
salat is established in the village.
45
 Prophet (pbuh) controlled the society of Muhajirs and
Ansars from the Mosque of Madinah. Thus, salat is not
only limited to the prayer within the mosque; it
encompasses the establishment of mosque-based
leadership and the implementation of the Quran in
society. In this context, the Prophet‘s role as a social
leader is emphasized.
Ultimately, the system connects mosques and Imams
across higher levels, including regional, national, and
international tiers, all unified under the Highest Islamic
Leadership. The Muttaqin (Guards) play a crucial role in
safeguarding this system.
Group prayer is a common practice, and every
mosque should structure its prayer system in accordance
with the traditions of the Mosque of Madinah or the
Mosque of Kufa.
The Imam of a mosque is not only a spiritual leader
but plays a vital role in addressing social affairs. His
actions must be based solely on the Quran. Implementing
the teachings of the Quran within a society (such as a
village) requires the Imam's ingenuity, as well as the
unique contributions of his advisers and helpers. By
consulting with them, the Imam works to promote good
and prevent evil within the community.
A mosque-based society is of great importance. In
many African countries, decades of civil war destroyed
government institutions, including administration, police,
and judiciary, leaving people in immense suffering.
However, Muslims in these regions managed to maintain
stability and resilience through mosque-based societies.
While solitary salat does not fully fulfill the command
to Establish Salat, it is a necessary alternative for those
46
genuinely unable to join the Jamat. However, one should
make every effort to participate in the Middle Prayer at
least.
Finally, even if a mosque is inactive in social affairs,
an individual must continue to respond to the calls
(Adhan) and pray with the Jamat, as it maintains the
system of Salat established by Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) for the future, and the individual fulfills their
religious obligation.
[The timing of salat is discussed in Section-13 of
Chapter-11.]

8b. Zakat

The Quran does not specify a fixed rate for Zakat.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his immediate followers
overcame the Taghuts, including the Persian and Roman
Empires, kings, and tribal chiefs, and spread Islam among
the people. He established the Home of Ummah
(Darussalam) from Morocco to the Pamirs, setting the
rate of Zakat at 2.5% (two and a half percent). Today, the
rate could be adjusted and determined by the Highest
Islamic Leadership (Caliph), who may also set varying
rates for different groups based on their economic
conditions.
Zakat should be collected by local mosques and
transmitted to the Highest Islamic Leadership (Caliph)
through a command channel established via mosques at
different levels.
A person may pay a portion of his Zakat directly to
his poor relatives, but he must inform the Imam of the
local mosque, who maintains the account.
47
 Note:

If the Highest Islamic Leadership does not exist, the

rate of Zakat may be determined by the Imam of the
local mosque, after consulting with a group of several
village elders. The Imam may then spend or distribute
the Zakat in accordance with the Quran.

8c. Hajj

The Quran says what Allah wants one to do during the

Hajj:

―Behold! We gave the site, to Abraham, of the

(Sacred) House, (saying): "Associate not anything
with Me; and sanctify My House for those who
compass it round, or stand up, or bow, or prostrate
themselves.
And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men:
they will come to thee on foot and on every kind
of camel, lean on account of journeys through
deep and distant mountain highways that they
may witness the benefits for them, and celebrate
the name of God, through the Days appointed.
Over the cattle, which He has provided for
them, then eat ye thereof and feed the distressed
ones in want.
Then let them complete the rites prescribed for
them, perform their vows, and circumambulate
the Ancient House.

48
 Such (is the Pilgrimage): whoever honors the
sacred rites of God, for him it is good in the Sight
of his Lord.
[Al Quran 22:26-30]

The Quran also instructs Believers to stay in Arafat

and shave their heads as part of the Hajj. Additionally,
there are several other verses that talk about Hajj. Hajj
should be performed in accordance with these
instructions.
The Prophet (pbuh) established the tradition of
performing Hajj among the people of Makkah, who lead
the Hajj. Our role is simply to follow.
Hajj is an act performed at the level of the Islamic
Ummah. The Highest Islamic Leadership (Caliph), or his
representative, oversees the Hajj. During this event, the
military situation of the Islamic world is discussed, and
guidance for defense and safeguarding for the year is
provided. This is indicated in the following verses:

―They ask thee concerning the New Moons. Say:

They are but signs to mark fixed periods of time
in men, and Hajj. It is no virtue if ye enter your
houses from the back: It is virtue if ye guard
(ittaqa). Enter houses through the proper doors,
and guard for the sake of God (ittaqu i-Laha) that
ye may prosper. Fight in the cause of God those
who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for
God loveth not transgressors.‖
[Al Quran 2:189-190]

49
[In the verse mentioned above, the term "ittaqa" /
"ittaqu" is commonly translated as "fear", but it also
means "protect" / "guard". Chapter-2 establishes the
Ummah, and the Hajj provides an opportunity for the
Highest Islamic Leadership (Caliph) to safeguard the
Ummah. Therefore, in context of the verses, the term
"ittaqa / ittaqu" should be more appropriately translated
as "protect" / "defend" / "repulse" / "guard." Similarly,
"ittaqu i-Laha" should be translated as "defend / repulse /
protect / guard for the sake of God‖.]

―And an announcement from God and His

Apostle, to the people on the day of the Great
Pilgrimage- that God and His Apostle dissolve
obligations with the Pagans…But when the
forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the
Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them,
beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every
stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and
establish regular prayers and practise regular
charity, then open the way for them: for God is
Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.‖ [Al Quran 9:3-5]

In the verses mentioned above, obligations were

dissolved, and an all-out war was declared on the day of
Hajj. Today, due to the availability of mass
communication facilities, the importance of Hajj is not
fully appreciated. However, the words spoken at Arafat
continue to have a profound impact.
Hajj unites Muslims of different races into a single
Ummah and strengthens its protection.

50
9. Sunni Islam

A Sunni Muslim follows the Quran and the Hadith side

by side, even though the Prophet (pbuh) once ordered the
burning of Hadiths. They promulgate Hadith as laws,
even when a particular Hadith may not be supported by
the Quran. Additionally, they derive religious laws from
the actions of the Righteous Caliphs, such as
implementing ―caning as the punishment for drinking
wine‖ and ―praying the Tarawih Salat in congregation.‖
They are such that if the highest Islamic leadership
(Caliph) were to command paying Zakat at the rate of 1%
(one percent), they would refuse to comply, as the
established Sunnah prescribes a rate of 2.5% (two and a
half percent).
The Hadith collectors gathered hundreds of thousands
of Hadiths but preserved only a few thousand in their
compilations. It is evident that the selection process was
influenced by the mentality and understanding of the
compilers. Many Islamic rules and rituals are based solely
on Hadith. There are madrassas (religious schools) in the
Indian subcontinent where students memorize the Books
of Hadith in the same way they memorize the Quran.
Below are a few Hadith collectors and scholars who are
followed in daily life almost as if they were Prophets.

9a. Abu Hanifa

Abu Hanifa (80 AH to 150 AH), the founder of Sunni

jurisprudence, was born in Kufa. His father, who came
from Kabul—a city associated with the Lost Tribes of
Israel—converted to Islam.
51
 The city of Kufa was founded by Caliph Umar. He
settled many Jews there who had been evicted from
Madinah and Khaibar. Over time, many of them
converted to Islam.
Islam is not unfamiliar to Jews, as their culture is
deeply rooted in Torah- and Talmud-based rituals that do
not contradict the Quran. A Jew mainly has to accept
Muhammad (pbuh) as the last Prophet to be a Muslim.
Thus, a Jewish convert to Islam can largely continue their
previous lifestyle even after embracing Islam.
Abu Hanifa, the Great Imam of Sunni Islam, did not
deviate significantly from the Jewish culture he observed
within his family or from the practices of the Jewish
community in his neighborhood. This is evident in the
Sunni Islam he formulated, where only a small selection
of Hadiths—out of hundreds of thousands—was used,
primarily those that aligned with Jewish laws and rituals,
to establish Islamic laws and practices.
Thus, the present form of Islam is significantly
influenced by Jewish culture, despite the eviction of Jews
from Madinah. We should recall what Allah said about
their eviction:

―God has promised you many gains that ye shall

acquire, and He has given you these beforehand;
and He has restrained the hands of men from you;
that it may be a sign for the Believers, and that He
may guide you to a Straight Path;‖
[Al Quran 48.20].

According to the above verse, one of the key

outcomes of eviction was that the people of the Arabian
52
Peninsula could be guided to the Straight Path. Many of
the earlier Prophets prayed for the arrival of Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh), who was destined to establish the
Path:

A voice of one calling in the desert: ―Prepare the

way of the Lord; make Straight his Paths.‖ And so
John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness,
preaching a baptism of repentance for the
forgiveness of sins.‖
– Gospel of Mark 1: 3-4, Holy Bible

The Judaism-influenced Islam (Islam in the Branch of

Isaac) is complex and is not referred to as the "Straight
Path." But, Muslim scholars have complicated the
religion of the Quran by incorporating laws and rituals
from the Torah under the guise of Hadith in cases.
Abu Hanifa was killed by poisoning while imprisoned
by Caliph Al-Mansur, the second Abbasid Caliph. The
exact reason for his death is unknown, but some suggest
it was because he refused to accept the position of Chief
Judge. During his imprisonment, he was publicly flogged
with ten lashes daily until his death.
Why did Al-Mansur, a fifth-generation descendant of
Abdul Muttalib and a prophesied leader of Islam, risk his
political career by killing Abu Hanifa? Why did the
people not react? Perhaps Abu Hanifa's teachings
appeared anti-Islamic to them. After all, just a few
decades earlier, Muslims had been forbidden to write the
Hadith.
Abu Hanifa developed a new interpretation of Islam
that incorporated the Quran, the Hadith, the Torah, Ijma,
53
and Qiyas. However, true Islam is based solely on the
Quran.

9b. Malik bin Anas

Malik bin Anas (93 AH – 179 AH), a native of Madinah,

was primarily a Hadith collector. It is said that he
gathered over 100,000 Hadiths. He was the first to
compile a Book of Hadith, Al-Muwatta, which is still
available today; however, it contains only 1,720 Hadiths.
Abu Hanifa met him in Madinah.
Malik bin Anas issued a fatwa opposing a ruling by
Caliph Al-Mansur. A man of Hadith is nobody to give
Fatwa. In response, the Governor of Madinah publicly
flogged him. However, Al-Mansur later dismissed the
Governor and compensated Malik with 3,000 dinars,
demonstrating his respect for him.
Then why did the same Al-Mansur flogged Abu
Hanifa daily? This suggests that early Muslims did not
widely welcome Hadith collectors. Perhaps Al-Mansur
showed respect to Malik because he was a native of
Madinah.

9c. Al-Shafii

Shafi'i (150 AH – 205 AH), a member of the Quraysh

tribe, was a disciple of Malik and largely followed Abu
Hanifa's methodology in formulating religious laws and
rituals. He served as the Governor of Yemen and later
lived in Baghdad and Egypt. His Book of Hadith is
―Musnad Al Shafii‖.

54
9d. Ahmad ibn Hanbal

Ahmad ibn Hanbal (164 AH – 241 AH) was born in

Basra, into the tribe of Banu Shayban. He was a student
of Shafi'i and was greatly influenced by Imam Abu
Hanifa. He is the author of Musnad Ahmad, a renowned
collection of Hadith. His followers are known as Hanbali,
and many of them today are identified as Wahhabi or
Salafi.

9e. Others

Bukhari (194 AH – 256 AH) from Bukhara, Muslim (202

AH – 261 AH) from Iran, and Tirmidhi (210 AH – 279
AH) from Uzbekistan are important collectors and
compilers of Hadith.

10. Sunni Islam and Politics

In the democratic world of the 20th century, some

religious interpreters introduced politics into Sunni Islam
through incorrect interpretations of the Hadith and
isolated verses of the Quran, often taken out of context.
The Quran does not provide guidance on the
formation of government. The Prophet (pbuh) also did
not establish a government. He did not have a throne,
crown, ceremonial guards, ministers, a parliament (Majlis
e Shura), or courts. He did not print money or collect

55
taxes, nor did he have a police force or a paid army. So,
he did not establish any government structures.
The Madinah Charter did not establish a state or
government either. A close reading reveals that it
primarily addressed two points:
 The tribal chiefs would retain their powers as
usual.
 The security of the Quraysh (the Muslims who
came from Makkah) would be ensured by the
Muttaqin (guards from among the Muslims).
People can never be fully satisfied. Over time, a
government may gain a bad reputation and eventually
fall. If the government is Islamic, this negative perception
also extends to Islam. When the government falls, Islam
may suffer a setback as well, at least for a time.
Therefore, establishing an Islamic government is not
advisable.
The Quran is not intended to govern states or manage
courts. However, governments and courts should adhere
to the Quran where applicable, particularly in matters
such as dealing with riba (interest on loans), theft,
creating disorder, scandal, fornication, and adultery.
The Islamic system does not form or run
governments, but there are Islamic leaders at various
levels who oversee the actions of governments in relation
to adherence to Islamic laws. The Highest Islamic
Leadership (Caliph) monitors and evaluates these actions
when necessary.
Why did Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) fight battles?
To answer, it was to defeat the Taghut. Moses went to
Egypt with nine great miracles. But, the people could not
accept him for the fear of the Taghuts like Pharaoh and
56
his Chiefs. So, removing / neutralizing the Taghuts, like
Persian Emperor, Roman Emperor, Kings, and Tribal
Chiefs was necessary for Muhammad (pbuh) to preach
Islam among Arabian and Persian peoples.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) appointed governors in
the captured territories, but the goal was not to establish
governments. They resided in the mosques, collected
zakat, and taught the religion to the newly converted
Muslims.
However, the Quran established the Ummah in Surah
Al-Baqarah. The Ummah requires leadership, specifically
the Highest Islamic Leadership (Caliph), who represents
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and serves as the leader of
the Islamic world. Under the Caliph, there may be
multiple countries governed by kings, amirs, elected
presidents, and prime ministers. These rulers should
pledge allegiance to the Highest Islamic
Leadership/Caliph. Each ruler may have their own
legislature, government, courts, and paid army. The
Highest Islamic Leadership oversees and controls the
rulers, particularly in matters related to Jihad and the laws
of the Quran.
However, the Quran established the Ummah in Surah

the Highest Islamic Leadership (Caliph), who represents

the Islamic world. Under the Caliph, there may be
multiple countries governed by kings, amirs, elected

pledge allegiance to the Highest Islamic Leadership /
Caliph. Each ruler may have their legislature,
government, courts, and paid army. The Highest Islamic
57
Leadership oversees and controls the rulers, particularly
in matters related to Jihad and the laws of the Quran.
Many Sunni Muslim Sultans grasped the Caliphate
and mixed it with the Sultanate, but the Caliphate is
mosque based and should not run the Government
directly by himself. In standard scenario Caliphate should
base in the Mosque of Madinah or Kufa. The Caliph often
leads the prayers in the mosque.
The Umayyad Sultans began using Hadith to govern
and establish laws in the courts. Many Sunni Muslims
view these laws as part of the religion. However, the true
essence of the religion is found only in the Quran.
Misunderstandings and incorrect examples have led
many to believe that 'establishing Islam' means
'establishing Islamic rule through government machinery.'
But, Islam is established by the Highest Islamic
Leadership, the various leaderships under him, and the
mosques at the grassroots, where people remain in direct
contact. The primary aim of the Quran is the development
of the individual.
However, one should not fight to establish the
Highest Islamic Leadership / Caliphate, as it leads to
conflict. Throughout history, we have seen wars, such as
Muawiyah fighting Hazrat Ali, Abbasids fighting
Umayyads, Arabs fighting Ottomans, and so on.
Furthermore, the Caliphate is an international leadership:
an Arab would not accept a Persian, nor would a Persian
accept an Arab. The Caliph will be raised by Allah when
the Ummah will deserve it, as highlighted in Ayat al-
Kursi of Surah Al-Baqarah. When Caliph rises, everyone
needs to recognize him and support him according to his

58
circumstances. His name will be mentioned in the
Khutbah of all mosques.

11. Sunnah and Strict Rule

The Highest Islamic Leadership oversees the Kings,

Amirs, Presidents, and Prime Ministers of Islamic
countries, advising them to follow the Quran—the Quran
only, not the Hadith or Sunnah. It is not the role of the
Islamic Leadership to enforce personal preferences or
even the Prophet‘s personal opinions as regulations from
Allah.
The punishable crimes and the corresponding
punishments are clearly outlined in the Quran. A court
must not exceed these boundaries. Below are a few
examples:
The Quran does not prescribe a punishment for
violating the hijab, so a Muslim woman cannot be tried or
punished for not wearing it.
The Quran does not prescribe punishment for the
production, sale, or consumption of alcohol or any
intoxicants. Therefore, an "Islamic Court" cannot try
individuals arrested for these actions based on Islamic
law. If a ruler is determined to prevent his subjects from
consuming alcohol or drugs, he should establish separate
laws for such offenses, without using the name of Allah
to justify punishment.
The Islamic Leadership cannot stop activities such as
operating pubs, gambling houses, discotheques, night
clubs, or casinos, nor can they bring the owners of such
businesses to trial, because the Quran does not prescribe
these actions. The application of force requires clear
59
orders from the Quran, and cannot be based on Hadith,
Qiyas, or Isma. The Sahabah did not stop these activities
in the territories they occupied. It was only later that
Umayyad Sultan Abdel-Aziz, the father of Sunni Islam,
took steps to stop such practices during his reign from
717 CE to 720 CE (101 AH).
The Quran specifies punishments primarily for
offenses such as theft, adultery, fornication, spreading
scandal, and causing disorder in society. In these cases,
the courts should apply the punishments outlined in the
Quran. For other offenses, such as those related to traffic
rules, governments are free to establish their own laws.

12. Music

The verse under discussion is often cited to argue that

music is haram (forbidden). However, one cannot declare
something haram based on implied meanings. The Quran
clearly specifies what is forbidden, and music is not
mentioned. If the Quran is silent about something, it is
considered halal (permissible).
However, if a song contains entertaining narrations
to mislead from the Path of God without knowledge and
throw ridicule, Muslims should avoid purchasing or
listening to it. In such cases, the action as said in the
verses under discussion is to be taken.

13. A few Suggestions

A few suggestions in this respect are as follows:

 A Muslim must study the biography (Sirah) of
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
60
 A Muslim should familiarize himself with Islamic
history, especially the early period of Islam.
 Hadiths can be studied as parts of the Prophet‘s
biography and Islamic history.
 A Muslim should read the Holy Bible at least once, as
Allah commands belief in the previous scriptures with
caution, acknowledging that they have been corrupted
over time
The biography of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), early
Islamic history, Hadith, and the Holy Bible are valuable
sources of knowledge that help in understanding the
Quran. However, these are not sources of guidance
(hudan). Only the Quran itself serves as the guidance.

14. Conclusion

The processes of Salat, Hajj, Fasting, Zakat, Wudu,

marriage, divorce, inheritance, criminal procedure, and
other legal issues were streamlined by early Islamic
jurists using both the Quran and the Hadith. As a result,
the Hadith has come to be seen as indispensable. But, in
reality, these could be done by the Quran alone.
If something is not mentioned in the Quran, it is not a
part of the religion, and a Muslim may approach it in the
way he deems righteous. He will be rewarded in the
afterlife for every righteous deed. The Quran does not
provide an exhaustive list of righteous deeds; rather,
every Believer, guided by his conscience, knows what
constitutes a righteous deed and what is evil.
Finally, Muslims must not divide themselves into
sects. No one should identify himself as Shia, Sunni, or
any other sect. Similarly, a mosque should never be
61
 labeled as a ‗Shia Mosque‘ or a ‗Sunni Mosque‘. A
Muslim should attend the mosque of his community and
follow the Imam, provided the Imam supports the Highest
Islamic Leadership / Caliph.

Section-3 of Chapter-31 [Verse 10-11]: Pair / Double Helix

DNA Molecule (Main Discussion)

He created without deliberate Skies (Universe), which you

see; and cast in the Earth firm mountains, lest it should shake
with you.

Remarks:

In the above verse, the word ―amadin‖ is translated

according to the dictionary as ―deliberate‖. However,
traditional translations of the Quran render it as ―pillars,‖
which I believe is not appropriate.
The verse is discussed in two parts:

Part-1: ―He created without deliberate Skies (Universe),

which you see;‖

One could say that the universe (Samawaat/Skies) was

created within the first fifteen minutes of the Big Bang, as
the total mass of matter formed during this period:
Big Bang produced hydrogen and helium mainly.
Scientists calculate that 15 minutes after the Big Bang,
the universe was not hot enough to produce new
elements. Although elements heavier than helium might
have been produced during the first 15 minutes, they

62
could not survive due to extreme temperature of the early
universe.
―One can calculate that in the hot Big Bang model
about a quarter of the protons and neutrons would have
converted into helium nuclei, along with a small amount
of heavy hydrogen and other elements.‖
– ABrief History of Time by Stephen Hawking.
Scientists predict that the heavier elements were
created later in first-generation stars, where the intense
pressure and heat in their cores facilitated their formation.
Thus, one might argue that the universe is still in the
process of creation, as it continues to evolve through the
formation of new stars and planets.
However, the Quran does not fully align with the
scientific model given above. According to the Quran, the
universe is cyclic, with its creation occurring in the
preceding cycle. The Quran suggests that heavier
elements—at least up to silicon—were created during the
first cycle, while other elements were created in the stars
of the current (second) cycle. See the figure below.

FIGURE 31.1: Quran‘s Model of Universe

63
 Allah created the perfect laws and initial
configurations for both the preceding and present
cycles of the universe. As a result, the universe has
evolved to its current state, allowing complex
creatures like us to survive. However, the initial
configuration was not sufficient to produce a planet as
unique as the Earth—Allah provided the necessary
support during the evolution of universe. So, this part
of the verse says: ―He created without deliberate
Skies (Universe), which you see;‖

Part-2: ―…and cast in the Earth firm mountains, lest

it should shake with you.‖

The Earth took a long time to become suitable for

complex creatures like us. It received elements
heavier than silicon from supernova explosions,
developed a suitable atmosphere, and acquired water
to fill its oceans. Over time, continents drifted apart,
and mountain ranges formed. Eventually, the globe
reached its present shape approximately seventy
million years ago.
After the formation of mountain ranges, clouds
spread across the land, bringing adequate rainfall that
replenished groundwater and gave rise to rivers when
flowering trees appeared.
The Cambrian Explosion, often referred to as the
'Big Bang' of biological evolution, began 539 million
years ago. During this period, diverse animal species
suitable for the present world started to emerge.
64
 And He scattered in it from every animals; and We send
down from the sky water, so it germinated us therein—all
from Noble Pairs (min kullay zawgin kareem).

Remarks:

The verse is translated word for word. Animals are

scattered across the Earth and depend on plants. Allah
provides sweet water to the plants through rain, enabling
them to germinate.
In traditional translations, the term 'Noble Pair'
mentioned in the verse is often interpreted as a 'pair of
male and female animals.' However, in this verse, 'Noble
Pairs' are also associated with the plants.
Only about 20% of trees separate male and female
parts on completely different trees, where one tree is
strictly female and the other strictly male. And there are
many single-celled organisms that do not have distinct
male or female sexes; they reproduce through replication.
The single-celled plants, like bacteria, do not have
male or female sexes. A bacterium reproduces by
dividing to produce two identical offspring.
Then, what are these 'Noble Pairs' mentioned in the
verse that cause plants to germinate?
It is evident that the 'Noble Pairs' mentioned in the
verses under discussion refers to the double-helix DNA
molecules, which produce all living creatures, including
plants and animals, as the verse under discussion state:
―And He scattered in it from every animals; and We send
down from the sky water, so it germinated us therein—all
from Noble Pairs (min kullay zawgin kareem).
65
 FIGURE 31.2: Double Helix DNA Molecule

Two strands joined side by side form a double-helix

DNA molecule, making it a pair.

FIGURE 31.3: DNA Double Helix

A human cell, though not visible without a

microscope, contains 23 pairs of chromosomes in its
nucleus. Each chromosome is primarily composed of a
double-helix DNA molecule.
The concept of 'pairs,' which can be related to the
'double-helix DNA molecule,' is mentioned in many

66
verses of the Quran. In the following, I will discuss
several verses under the following headings:
1. Noble Pair
2. Attractive Pair
3. Pairs for Plants
4. Pairs for All
5. Pairs and Human Body

1. Noble Pair

The double-helix DNA molecule is referred to as the

'Noble Pair' in the following verse as well. The verse is
often translated in a way that deviates from its intended
meaning, with the 'pairs' interpreted as male-female
couples of animals. I have provided a word-for-word
translation of the verse to clarify its true meaning:

―Do they not look at the Earth, how many we

grow in it! All from the Noble Pairs (Min kullay
zawjin kareemin).‖ [Al Quran 26:7]

To produce a baby tiger, a noble tiger and a noble

tigress are not required. Similarly, one does not need a
noble rooster and a noble hen to produce a chicken.
Therefore, the 'Noble Pair' (Zawjin Kareemin) does not
refer to a male-female couple of animals; rather, it refers
to the double-helix DNA molecules, which alone have the
ability to produce baby tigers, chickens, and all living
creatures in the world. It is the program of life. This is
why the molecule is regarded as noble.
A double-helix DNA molecule is a long linear
polymer. A polymer is a large molecule composed of
67
many repeated subunits, known as nucleotides (see figure
below).

FIGURE 31.4: Nucleotide

A nucleotide consists of three subunits: a nitrogenous

base, a five-carbon sugar, and at least one phosphate
group.

FIGURE 31.5: DNA Double Helix

68
 A series of nucleotides forms a strand. Two strands
joined side by side create a double-helix DNA molecule.
The structural arrangement of a double-helix DNA
molecule resembles an immensely long ladder, with the
rungs weakly connected in the middle by hydrogen
bonds.
The sugar-phosphate backbones provide support to
the molecule, while the genetic code is produced by the
arrangement of base pairs (AT, GC, TA, CG).
A gene is a segment of a DNA strand that codes for a
specific protein. For example, one gene produces insulin,
which helps the body regulate blood sugar levels.
Genes are the basic units of genetics. A human being
has about 23,000 genes, but they account for only about 2
percent of a Double Helix DNA Molecule. The function
of the remaining 98 percent is not fully understood and is
often referred to as junk DNA.
With only 20 types of amino acids available in a cell,
a double-helix DNA molecule can produce over 1,000
types of proteins required for the body. It can also
generate more than 2,000 types of enzymes.
Moreover, it has the ability to replicate cells and form
a human body from a single-cell zygote. If the codes of a
genome were written in books, the pile of books would be
taller than a mountain. Therefore, the double-helix DNA
molecule is referred to as the 'Noble Pair' in the Quran.

2. Attractive Pair

In the following verse, the double-helix DNA molecule is

called ―Attractive Pairs‖ (Zawgin Baheej):
69
 ―And the earth; We have spread it out, and set
thereon mountains standing firm, and grown
therein every kind from Attractive Pair (Zawgin
Baheej) …‖ [Al Quran 50:7-9]

In a double-helix DNA molecule, two chains of

nucleotides (strands) are held together by weak hydrogen
bonds. These bonds do not function like glue but rather
attract like magnets. This allows the strands to separate
easily when needed, without causing any damage to the
nucleotides. Thus, the strands are both stable and easily
separable.
A single round of DNA replication occurs before all
cell divisions. DNA replication is the process of
producing two identical replicas from one original
double-helix DNA molecule. This biological process
takes place in all living organisms and serves as the
foundation for biological inheritance.

FIGURE 31.6: DNA Replication

70
 During DNA replication, the double helix gets
uncoiled, and the strands get separated. Each strand acts
as a template for the next strand. Bases are matched to
synthesize the new partner strand. The partner strand is
produced with nucleotides available in cytoplasm.
In the process of mitosis, DNA replication ensures the
segregation of chromosomes and the formation of two
nuclei within the cell. Subsequently, the cell divides,
producing two genetically identical cells.

FIGURE 31.7; Chromatids and Chromosome

A chromosome in its unreplicated state consists of

one double-helix DNA molecule. But, during DNA
replication (just before cell division), a chromosome is
composed of two identical sister chromatids, and each
chromatid contains one double-helix DNA molecule.
These chromatids are joined at a region called the
centromere.

71
  Unreplicated chromosome: One double-helix
DNA molecule.
 Replicated chromosome (two chromatids): Two
double-helix DNA molecules (one per chromatid).
A human double-helix DNA molecule is six feet long
approximately. It is wound around proteins called
histones, which provide structural support and help
regulate the activities of the molecule.

FIGURE 31.8: The wrapping of DNA molecule

72
 The initial wrapping of a double-helix DNA molecule
around histones forms nucleosomes. These nucleosomes
further coil into solenoids, and additional coiling of
solenoids results in the formation of a chromatid (see
figure above).
In another process, meiosis, reproductive cells are
produced with a haploid set of chromosomes.

―The Creator of the Skies and Lands, He has

made for you Pairs (DNA Double Helix) from
among yourselves and Pairs (DNA Double Helix)
among cattle; by this means does He multiply
you—there is nothing whatever like unto Him,
and He is the One that hears and sees.‖
[Al Quran 42:11]

In the above verse, cattle are mentioned to clarify that the

verse is not referring to male-female pairs, as cattle do
not form pairs. The verse clearly states, "by this means
does He multiply you," indicating that it is referring to
haploid chromosomes. Each haploid chromosome
contains a double-helix DNA molecule. These haploid
chromosomes are carried by reproductive cells, such as
sperm.

3. The Pair for both Plants and Animals

"That has created Pairs (double-helix DNA

molecule) in all things, and has made for you
ships and cattle on which you ride‖
[Al Quran 43:12]

73
In ancient times, ships were made of wood. The genomes
of a tree and an animal have the same chemical
composition and basic structure, but the genetic codes
differ: one code creates a horse, while another code
creates a tree. So, the pair that can produce both cattle
and wood for ocean-going ships can only be double-helix
DNA molecules.
Therefore, by 'Pair,' the above verse refers to what can
only be a double-helix DNA molecule.

Note:

A genome is an organism's complete set of DNA,

including all of its genes.

4. Pairs for All

―Glory be the One Who created Pairs (double-

helix DNA molecule) from what all that the earth
produces and of themselves and of what they
know not.‖ [Al Quran 36:36]

According to the above verse, all living creatures are

created from pairs. The only pairs with which all living
creatures, from the single-celled amoeba to the giant blue
whale, can be created are double-helix DNA molecules.
Therefore, in these verses, ―pair‖ means ―double-helix
DNA molecule‖.
However, a virus does not have double-helix DNA.
This is also clarified in the above verse by the words:
"…all that the earth produces…" A virus is not produced
on the earth; it is only produced in a host.
74
 A virus can exist outside of the host for some time,
but it needs to be inside a host to replicate. The viral
genome does not encode all the proteins and RNAs
needed for replication. The virus membrane fuses with
the host cell membrane, allowing viral proteins to mix
directly with host cell proteins in the cytoplasm, where
replication can occur.
Moreover, the verses are talking about the living
creatures; the viruses are nonliving.

5. Pairs and Human Body

A human is born with more than a hundred trillion cells.

Over 250 types of cells make up the body, and each type
has specific programs needed for its function.
The body starts from a single cell (zygote) containing
23 pairs of DNA double helices. There are about 23,000
genes (only about two percent of the DNA is known) in a
strand of human DNA. Surprisingly, the DNA of a
chicken contains the same number of genes. It is the
minor variations in these genes and their switching on
and off during the formation of the body determine the
kind of animal it will become.
The same genes work in a leopard, peacock, and fruit
fly, yet they produce widely different animals.
It is difficult to differentiate between the embryo of a
human and that of a chicken. As they grow, their features
become more evident. The 'body plan gene' directs when
and where the head will form—whether it will be a
chicken's head or a human's head—where the legs will
develop, whether these will be human legs or chicken
legs, and where the hands or wings will grow, and so on.
75
 A particular 'body plan gene' is called the hox gene.
These genes are at the top of the chain of command. They
issue orders that cascade through the developing embryo,
activating an entire network of switches and genes that
form the body-parts. They are critical to the shape and
structure of a developing creature.
The switches are not genes. They do not create things
like hair, cartilage, or muscle, but they turn on and off the
genes that produce these features. In this way, they
choreograph the patterns and spots of the animal body.
However, from a religious perspective, the Pairs
(double-helix DNA molecules) alone cannot form a
human body perfectly. A zygote kept in a test tube under
the most favorable conditions does not form a human
body; it forms merely a lump of flesh.
Therefore, the genome code alone is not enough;
Allah aids in the formation within the mother's womb.
Why doesn't Allah help in the test tube? Most likely, a
human body (specifically the mother's body) provides a
better connection and facilities for Allah to assist in the
formation of a baby, whereas a test tube lacks these.
In the Quran, the DNA double helix is referred to as
the 'Noble Pair' because it can produce proteins and
enzymes, replicate cells, form and maintain different
types of cells, undergo fusion to produce a zygote, and
perform many other complex processes related to cells.
These are highly intricate functions. However, for the
perfect formation of a human body, the genome code
requires the control of Allah.
Allah monitors and controls the body plan genes and
the switches to create a human. This control is essential
for the initial creation within the mother's womb.
76
 During the Resurrection, the human nafs (soul) will
assist the DNA in forming the body. The nafs is a
combination of unknown force fields; it cannot help
during the initial formation because it is raw at that
stage—a raw nafs is planted in the zygote or embryo. The
nafs is designed and programmed during the initial
formation of the body in the mother‘s womb. Once it has
been developed, it will be able to assist a set of double-
helix DNA molecules (46 in the case of a human) in
resurrecting the body on the Day of Judgment. [The
Resurrection is discussed in detail in Section-10 of
Chapter-6.]

Such is the Creation of God; now show Me what is there

that others besides Him have created—nay, but the
Transgressors are in manifest error.

Remarks:

DNA is the densest information storage system in the

universe. Its codes point to the existence of a Supremely
Intelligent Creator, as language and code can only come
from intelligence.
Again, a DNA molecule is simple compared to a cell.
All life forms are created from cells, and each cell
functions like a micro-chemical machine, encoded with
an operational manual on how to work as part of the
body. It receives and disseminates information, takes in
supplies and delivers products, protects, heals, repairs,
and maintains itself. It multiplies to heal wounds. It can
also survive in nature independently. An amoeba, for
example, is a single-celled organism.
77
Section 4 of Chapter-31 [Verse 12-19]: Advice of Luqman /
Expected Conduct of a Muhsin (Doer of Good)

We bestowed Wisdom on Luqman: "Show gratitude to God;

any who is grateful, does so to the profit of his own soul, but
if any is ungrateful, verily God is free of all wants, worthy of
all praise." Behold, Luqman said to his son by way of
instruction: "O my son! In worship, join not with God; for
false worship is indeed the highest wrong-doing."
And We have enjoined on man to his parents—in travail
up on travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was
his weaning—show gratitude to Me and to thy parents; to Me
is the Goal. But if they strive to make thee join in worship
with Me things of which thou have no knowledge, obey them
not; yet bear them company in this life with justice, and
follow the way of those who turn to me. In the end, the return
of you all is to Me, and I will tell you the truth of all that ye
did.
[Said Luqman] ―O my son! If there be the weight of a
mustard-seed and it were in a rock or in the Skies or on earth,
God will bring it forth; for God understanding the finest
mysteries is well acquainted.
[Said Luqman] ―O my son! Establish salat, and enjoin
what is just and forbid what is wrong, and bear with patient
constancy whatever betide thee, for this is firmness in affairs.
And swell not thy cheek at men, nor walk in insolence
through the earth; for God loves not any arrogant boaster.
And be moderate in thy pace and lower thy voice, for the
harshest of sounds, without doubt, is the braying of the ass.‖

78
Section 5 of Chapter-31 [Verse 20-27]: Vicegerents of God

Do ye not see that God has subjected to you all things in the
Skies and Lands and has made his bounties flow to you in
exceeding measure, seen and unseen? Yet there are among
men those who dispute about God without knowledge, and
without guidance, and without a Book to enlighten them!

Remarks:

Essentially, humans are created to be the vicegerents of

Allah on the lands, as stated in the following verse:

―Behold thy Lord said to the angels: ―I will create

a vicegerent on a land…‖ [Al Quran 2:30]

In light of the Quran, the vastness of the universes, and

the greatness of Allah, the phrase ―a vicegerent on a
land‖ in the above verse signifies ―a vicegerent on each
land or each group of lands bound together by gravity,
such as a galaxy.‖ This was not merely declared; all the
angels were commanded to prostrate in obedience to
Adam:

―When I have fashioned him and breathed into

him of My ruh (soul), fall ye down in obedience
unto him.‖ [Al Quran 15:29]

As the vicegerents of God, humans should be the supreme

creatures on the lands, spread across the Samawaat (this
universe) and the Jannaat (another universe).

79
 But now, on Earth, humans are undergoing tests.
During this testing period, they are not fully empowered
as the vicegerents of God. The test will determine their
eternal destinations—who deserves which of the lands: a
land in the Samawaat or a land in the Jannaat?
Our earthly fates are fixed, but our thoughts are not.
Faith is a matter of thought, and one can embrace the
True Faith at any time by choice. When someone accepts
the True Faith, Allah proactively changes their fate. A
person with the True Faith is likely to be granted a land in
the Jannaat.
Now we are living on a tiny land (the Earth) within
the vast expanse of the universe (Samawaat). Scientists
predict that due to gravitational forces the expansion of
the universe may eventually halt, leading to a phase of
contraction. Ultimately, all the objects in the universe
could come together, causing the universe to collapse.
Scientists predict that the collapsed universe could
potentially revive through another Big Bang (referred to
as "Big Bang 2"), giving birth to a new universe.
The Quran suggests a similar model and states that
the dead will be resurrected in the initially revived
universe. Resurrected humans will then be moved to a
specially created land, the Land of Judgment, located in
the Super Space (specifically, the Eastern Super Space),
where the final Judgment will take place.

―And not they honored Allah—true honor—while

the Land (the Land of Judgment) is assembling in
His hand on the Day of Resurrection; and the
Skies (Samawaat / this Universe) rolled-up in His

80
 right hand. Glory be to Him! And high is He
above what they associate.‖ [Al Quran 39: 67]

After resurrected mankind is assembled on the Land

of Judgment, the evolution of the reviving universe will
be halted for the duration of Judgment and Salvation.
Beyond this universe lies another universe called
Jannaat (Paradise), located in the Western Super Space.
The Quran, the Holy Bible, and the Hadith describe
Jannaat as an entirely separate universe. The Jannaat is
far greater in scale and magnificence than this universe
(Samawaat).

―Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your

Lord and for a Jannaat, whose width is that of the
Skies and Lands (this universe), prepared for the
righteous…‖ [Al Quran 3:133]

―Race to forgiveness from your Lord and the

Jannaat; the width of which is as the width of the
Sky and Land‖ [Al Quran 57:2]

―Because only a few will be saved God has

created two universes instead of only one‖
– 2 Esdras 7:50, Holy Bible, GNB

The lands (or objects) of the Jannaat are distributed

across eight layers of space, Space of Jannaat. After the
Judgment, a portion of mankind will be moved to these
lands, where they will live eternally in peace and
satisfaction as empowered vicegerents of God. Even the
poorest in Jannaat will be granted an object ten times
81
larger than the Earth. The consciousness of their souls
will harmonize with the nature of their domain, allowing
them to exercise authority over it—even commanding a
river to shift its course at their will.
Another portion of mankind, the sinners, will be cast
into the reinitiated universe (Samawaat). They will not
die but will be dragged into the reviving galaxies
according to the new fates of the next cycle (the next
cycle of this universe). The Quran refers to these galaxies
as the objects of Hell. The sinners will live in these
galaxies forever, enduring disasters and pains, as the
forgotten vicegerents of God. Each sinner will be
assigned a complete galaxy as their domain:

―Allah created the Skies and Lands (this universe)

for just ends, and in order that each soul may find
the recompense of what it has earned and none of
them be wronged.‖ [Al Quran 54: 22]

―We created not the Skies and Lands and all

between them (this universe) merely in sport. We
created them not except for just ends, but most of
them do not understand, verily, the day of sorting
out is the time appointed for all of them.‖
[Al Quran 44: 38–40]

―Behold! In the creation of the Skies and Lands

(this universe) and the alternation of night and
day, there are indeed signs for men of
understanding, men who celebrate the praises of
Allah standing, sitting and lying on their sides,
and contemplate the creation in the Skies and
82
 Lands: ―Our Lord! Not for naught have Thou
created this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation
from the penalty of the fire. Our Lord, any whom
thou do admit to the fire, truly Thou cover with
shame, and never will wrong doers find any
helpers!‖ [Al Quran 3: 190–792]

They will have no divine power. The nature will

follow its natural laws, and the living creatures—mainly
the anti-creatures—will be monitored by the universal
angelic system. Over them will be nineteen angels,
overseeing their existence and actions.

―It will also be said: ―This day We will forget

you, as ye forgot the meeting of this day of yours!
And your abode is the fire, and no helpers have
ye!‖ [Al Quran 54: 34]

But, in the course of time, a man in the Samawaat

(this universe) may gain some control over the land
where he will be living, much like how we have gained
control over the Earth. He may even come to control an
entire galaxy. This possibility is suggested in the verse
under discussion: ―Do ye not see that Allah has subjected
to you all things in the Skies and Lands (this universe),
and has made his bounties flow to you in exceeding
measure, seen and unseen? Yet there are among men
those who dispute about Allah without knowledge and
without guidance, and without a Book to enlighten
them!‖
However, a dweller of this universe (a hell dweller)
will endure a harsh life forever.
83
 It is the Master Plan of Allah: To create, develop, and
delegate His vicegerents (human beings) across all of
creation, with the aim of infusing life into the universes,
deploying intelligence and freedom of thought within His
creations, and establishing a flexible and dynamic way of
ruling.

What a human should do to be a good Vicegerent of

God?

The fundamental purpose of a human's earthly life is to

shape him into a good vicegerent of God for the eternal
afterlife.
Gigantic affairs are taking place behind the scenes to
resurrect us, endowed with the qualities necessary to
fulfill our purposes. A human soul (nafs) is designed and
programmed as its physical body forms in the mother‘s
womb. It matures as the person lives on Earth, dies, and
then exists in a virtual life in Illiyin or Sijjin.
A human possesses a third eye (a vision aided by the
nafs) that allows us to watch the angels, created from
light, and the jinn, created from anti-matter. However,
this third eye is not permitted to open on Earth; it will
become active in the afterlife.
His memories are extracted from his brain every day
and preserved in the Disc (Lawh-Mahfuz). A set of his
DNA (46 chromosomes) is also preserved.
It does not matter to Allah in which direction a
vicegerent is maturing. He has many lands in both the
Jannaat and the Samawaat (170 billion visible galaxies) in
which to invest the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

84
However, it does matter to a human. Everyone would
desire to receive a land in the Jannaat.
A man named Abraham was born in Babylon, and
from a very young age, he discovered Allah and stood
against the idol worshippers. Allah was pleased with him.
Abraham was kind-hearted and eager to protect his father
and descendants, praying for them. Allah accepted his
prayers, and many Prophets were born from his lineage,
with the last one being Muhammad (pbuh). They received
guidance from Allah, and one can derive intelligence
from their Books and work accordingly to secure a better
domain in the afterlife. Therefore, we should seek
knowledge and strive to follow the desired path.
It is impossible for a man to change his character, as it
is the expression of his nafs (soul). The nafs is a
combination of unknown force fields, and these force
fields cannot change without astronomically enormous
heat. Moreover, changing in a positive direction requires
great knowledge and ability. However, if a man believes
in one God, and if God orients him toward the direction
of Jannaat, He will develop his nafs through the passage
of time—both on Earth and in Illiyin.
So, we should believe in one God and the afterlife,
striving to perform good deeds. The essential knowledge
required to gain true Faith is outlined below:

7a. Knowing Allah

If we are vicegerents of Allah, knowing Him should be

our primary knowledge. Why does Allah not appear and
acquaint Himself with us?

85
 It is because, even if we could see Him, we would not
fully understand Him. The problem is that Allah has a
form, and at the same time, He is everywhere. To know
Him to some extent, we need knowledge, matured souls,
and the ability to perceive beyond the ordinary.
Allah has a form:

―And Elohim created the man in His own image;

in the image of Elohim He created him. He
created them male and female.‖
[Genesis 1:27, Holy Bible]

So, Allah has a form.

To understand how Allah, having a form, can also be
everywhere, we need knowledge about the soul. The soul
is deliberately discussed in Chapter-1 and in Section-10
of Chapter-6. To recapitulate:
 A ruh (an elementary soul) and a force field are
the same thing. It operates as the command of
God. For example, a magnetic field is a kind of
ruh.
 A nafs (a composite soul) is a combination of
known and/or unknown force fields. A nafs
sustains a system, such as an atom, and keeps it
active or living. For example, magnetic field,
strong nuclear force field, and weak nuclear force
field together make the nafs of an atom. A living
creature has a similar nafs, composed of unknown
(not yet discovered) force fields.

The nafs (soul) of Allah is also a combination of

known and unknown force fields (ruhs). His nafs
86
permeates His body in form. He, in form, resides in the
Arsh. His nafs is extremely huge and powerful, yet it can
remain in His body in form because a nafs is not
dependent on space to exist. The nafs (Nafsin-Wahidatin /
GUT Force +) that created the universe started from a
point.
Allah has extended several force fields (ruhs) from
His nafs beyond His body in form, using them to sustain
and evolve the universes. He has extended these forces
collectively as His hands of nafs. These hands of nafs are
additional to His hands in appearance and are invisible to
our eyes. Thus, a human could see Allah in form but
cannot perceive His hands of nafs, which sustain the
universes.
For example, the gravitational force is an extended
part of an elementary soul (force field / ruh) of His nafs.
He designed this elementary soul through His will to
sustain objects. As a result, the soul operates in fixed
patterns, which we observe as natural laws (such as the
law of gravity). Truly, He is the Sustainer.
He also expands the universe. The force of expansion,
which scientists refer to as Dark Energy, extends from
one of His elementary souls (force fields / ruhs)
specifically designed to expand the space.
Scientists perceive the presence of energy (Vacuum
Energy) in space, which may be contained within some of
His extended elementary souls (force fields / ruhs).
Alternatively, the energy itself might be one of His
extended elementary souls (force fields / ruhs).
Several of His extended elementary souls (force fields
/ ruhs) are recognized in Quantum Mechanics as fields
that sustain fundamental subatomic particles, which were
87
created from the Nafsin-Wahidatin (discussed in Chapter
1). It is worth noting that particles do not draw energy
from these fields; instead, they gain mass due to their
movements.
So, He is present everywhere as well. He says, 'Be,'
and it is! His command is supremely effective because He
sustains the inert universe from the level of fundamental
subatomic particles.
Some of the force fields (ruhs) of His nafs are
extended through His face, forming His face of nafs. He
sees and hears everything personally and directly. He is
closer to us than our jugular vein.
Allah in form and Allah existing everywhere is one.
Force fields are invisible to our material eyes.
Moreover, He is so great that no vision can encompass
Him, and no mind can imagine Him. A human can
perceive 'Allah in form' only, but 'He in form' resides in
the Arsh, which is located beyond the universes.
Again, seeing Allah in form may lead to a misguided
understanding of Him. A human might mistakenly think
of Him as a king, only slightly greater than Cyrus,
Alexander, or Genghis Khan.
Therefore, knowledge of Allah is essential for a
vicegerent to perceive Him as an entity who is partly seen
and partly unseen, immensely intelligent and capable.
The Quran repeatedly seeks to acquaint us with Allah,
filled with verses that speak about Him. Therefore, we
should gain knowledge from the Quran and try to sense
His presence through meditation. It is possible to connect
with Allah, as Khidr was connected.
On the Day of Judgment, all will be commanded by
an Archangel to prostrate before Allah as soon as His shin
88
becomes visible. Finally, 'Allah in Form' will come into
full view, and the land will shine with the glory of its
Lord. At that point, a human will know Allah at least to
the minimum level. Thereafter, the human will attain the
standard required to be employed as a vicegerent of God.
After the Judgment, they will be moved to their eternal
destination.
On the Day of Judgment, all will be commanded by

the minimum level. Thereafter, the human will attain the
standard required to be employed as a vicegerent of God.
After the Judgment, they will be moved to their
eternal destination.

7b. Gaining knowledge about the Creations

A good vicegerent should have knowledge of creation.

This is so important that Allah has valued human
development in science and technology while
simultaneously predicting and finalizing their fates. For
example, the average human lifespan was 40 to 50 years
in ancient times, but it has now increased to 70 to 80
years as human knowledge has advanced. Thus, humans
come to recognize the importance of understanding
creation.
And there is knowledge beyond knowledge. A person
possessing knowledge of the Book could transport the
Throne of Bilqis in the blink of an eye:

89
 ―Said one who had knowledge of the Book, "I will
bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!"
Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before
him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord to
test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And
if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is for his own
soul, but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is
Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour!‖‖
[Al Quran 27:40]

3. Establishing relation with Allah

Allah is the Creator, and thus, He knows everything. A

human who knows even a small part of knowledge may
receive a Nobel Prize, and we honor such individuals. We
also honor leaders, thinkers, poets, and writers, because
they shape our culture and history. However, this is only
a small part, and everything on the Earth is bound by fate.
True honor will be granted in the eternal afterlife?
Eternal honor will be granted to those who are close
to Allah, the source of all knowledge and power.
Ultimately, this closeness to Allah depends on
righteousness:

―O mankind! We created you from a male and a

female, and made you into nations and tribes that
ye may know each other (all are equal). Verily,
the most honored of you in the sight of God is the
most righteous of you. And God has full
knowledge and is well acquainted.‖
[Al Quran 49:13]

90
 Everyone is equal, but righteousness is what makes the
difference, and this difference will be visible in the
eternal afterlife. Therefore, anyone can rise by increasing
their righteousness.

4. Making the Habit of Praying, and Learning to

Glorify Him

A human is allowed to pray to Allah for anything they

need, while other beings, from matter and anti-matter, can
only praise and glorify Him.
When a human is appointed in a galaxy, the creatures
of matter and anti-matter will come to him to present their
special needs to Allah, as he is the vicegerent of God over
that galaxy. Therefore, a human should learn how to pray
to Allah, and develop the habit of prayer. He should learn
to Glorify Him.
Here on Earth, it does not matter who possesses what;
a sixty-year life is like sixty minutes in relation to the
eternal afterlife. Therefore, one should work for the
afterlife. The Earth is the ground for testing and
development; it is a very important stage.

When they are told to follow the (Revelation) that God

has sent down, they say: "Nay, we shall follow the ways in
which we found our fathers." What! Even if it is Satan
beckoning them to the Penalty of the Fire?
And who-so-ever submits his face to Allah while he is a
Muhsin (Doer of Good), then he has grasped indeed the most
trustworthy hand-hold, and with God rests the end and
decision of affairs.

91
 But if any reject Faith, let not his rejection grieve thee, to
Us is their return, and We shall tell them the truth of their
deeds; for God knows well all that is in minds. We grant
them their pleasure for a little while; in the end We shall
drive them to a chastisement unrelenting.
If thou ask them, who it is that created the Skies and
Lands? They will certainly say, "God".
Say: "Praise be to God!"
But most of them understand not: To God belong all
things in the Skies and Lands; verily God is He, free of all
wants, worthy of all praise.
And, if all the trees on earth were pens and the ocean with
seven oceans behind it to add to its (supply as ink) yet would
not the words of God be exhausted; for God is Exalted in
Power, full of Wisdom.

Remarks

The universe is made up of force fields and fundamental

subatomic particles, all designed to act in fixed patterns.
It is a universe of information. Information is something
physical that is encoded in the state of a quantum system
- Wikipedia.
The universe is in the right hand of Allah, which is
the hand of His nafs (the nafs is a composite soul
comprising both known and unknown force fields).
Additionally, each type of living creature has a
specific genome code. Within a type, each species has its
own unique genome code, and within a species, each
individual creature has its own distinct code.
So, the universe consists of information and codes
produced by God. Could these be written in a book? The
92
verses under discussion say: ―…And, if all the trees on
earth were pens and the ocean with seven oceans behind
it to add to its (supply as ink) yet would not the words of
God be exhausted; for God is Exalted in Power, full of
Wisdom.‖
In the beginning, Allah created the Pen:

―The first thing that was created by Allah was the

Pen (CCU)." [Tirmizi]

He programmed the Pen to write upon His command:

―Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful. He

Who taught the pen‖ [Al Quran 96:3-4]

The Pen writes onto a saved disc:

―Nay, it is a glorious Quran in a Disc Saved.‖

[Al Quran 85:21-22]

The Disc works as a Data Bank. Everything of the

universe is recorded in the Disc:

―With Him are the keys of the unseen, the

treasures that none knows but He. He knows
whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a
leaf does fall but with His knowledge; there is not
a grain in the darkness of the earth, nor anything
fresh or dry, but is in a record clear.‖
[Al Quran 6:59]

93
 The Pen and the Disc are linked to a Motherboard. It
is called 'Mother of the Book':

―Ha, Mim. By the Book that makes things clear.

We have made it a Recitation (Qur'an) in Arabic
that ye may be able to understand. And verily, it is
in the Mother of the Book, in Our presence, high,
full of wisdom.‖ [Al Quran 43:1-4]

The Mother of the Book can give birth to a book,

making it an immensely advanced Mother Board.
The Pen, the Disc, and the Motherboard together form
a vast computer—the computer of Allah, Who created the
genome code, the living cell, and the brain billions of
years ago. It may be an immense rational computer, with
its disc potentially larger than the Earth. I refer to this
computer as the 'Central Computer of the Universes'
(CCU). It resides in the Arsh. [The CCU is discussed in
detail in Section-9 of Chapter-6.]
Allah created a virtual universe within the computer
(CCU) by personally designing its programs. This virtual
universe serves as His Master Plan.
It was a dynamic virtual universe, detailed from
beginning to end, on a proportional time scale.
In the virtual universe, we were created from our
genome codes and nafses (souls), as indicated in the
following verse:

―When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of

Adam, from their backs, their descendants (virtual
descendants made from the genome codes and the
nafses), and made them testify concerning
94
 themselves (saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They
said: "Yea! We do testify!" Lest ye should say on
the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never
mindful"" [Al Quran 7:172]

Our complete lives were represented in the virtual

universe, where Allah did not guide us directly; instead,
we guided ourselves according to our free will,
interacting with one another amidst the evolving nature
and sequential events of the virtual Earth. Allah
intervened and made adjustments when necessary.
The Pen extracted our fates from the virtual universe:

―The first thing that was created by Allah was the

Pen (CCU). Allah then ordered the Pen to write.
The Pen asked, what should it write? Allah
ordered to write the fate of everybody. The Pen
wrote all those would happen from the beginning
to the end." [Tirmizi]

One's present life on Earth is a repetition of the virtual

life. It is a repetition because the laws and the initial
configuration of the real universe were derived from the
virtual universe, as indicated in the following verses.

―No misfortune can happen on earth or in your

souls but is recorded in a Book; We bring it into
existence beforehand—that is truly easy for God;‖
[Al Quran 57:22]

―And remember when ye met, He showed them to

you as few in your eyes, and He made you appear
95
 as contemptible in their eyes: that Allah might
accomplish a matter already enacted. For to God
do all questions go back.‖ [Al Quran 8:44]

The Pen extracted our fates. But, writing complete

data of the virtual universe would be a huge job. Thus, it
says in the verses under discussion: ―…And, if all the
trees on earth were pens and the ocean with seven oceans
behind it to add to its (supply as ink) yet would not the
words of God be exhausted; for God is Exalted in Power,
full of Wisdom.‖

Not your creation and not your resurrection but as a Soul

Single (Nafsin-Wahidatin). Indeed, Allah is All-Hearer, All-
Seer.

Remarks

All ruhs (force fields) were produced from the Nafsin-

Wahidatin (a single soul/GUT Force+). Allah breathed
the Nafsin-Wahidatin from His own Nafs, permeating His
body in form.
The Nafsin-Wahidatin was fragmented to produce the
ruhs (force fields). These ruhs were designed and
combined in varying proportions to create the nafses of
atoms and living creatures. [The Nafsin-Wahidatin is
discussed in detail in Chapter-1.]
The universe will collapse as the skies are rolled up. It
will be compressed to the point where matter disappears,
and only the information (photons) will remain. The
universe, in the form of information, will return to the
Face of God.
96
 ―And call not besides God on another god; there is
no god but He. Everything will perish except His
own Face. To Him belongs the Command and to
Him will ye be brought back.‖ [Al Quran 28:88]

―All that on it will perish, but will abide the Face

of thy Lord, Full of Majesty, Bounty and the
Honor.‖ [Al Quran 55: 26–27]

The 'Face of God' mentioned in the above verse refers

to His 'face of nafs.' The 'face of nafs' is produced from
the force fields emanating from His 'face in form.' The
universe will collapse into a state of Singularity (Big
Crunch). This Singularity will exist within the face of His
nafs. The universe, in its state of Singularity, will be like
the Nafsin-Wahidatin (a Soul Single / GUT Force+), but
not a new one. It will carry the complete information
(photons) of the past cycle of the universe.
Allah will reprogram and re-initiate the universe. The
universe will gain mass (Thaqal) as it moves from the
face of God to His right hand. At that time, humans will
be resurrected from their nafses (souls) and DNA
molecules. Their memories will be restored from the Disc
(Lawh-Mahfuz), where they are currently preserved.
The universe, created from force fields
(ruhs/elementary souls) and codes, can shrink and
expand, with the information and codes surviving. Thus,
the verse under discussion says: ―Not your creation and
not your resurrection but as a Soul Single (Nafsin-
Wahidatin). Indeed, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Seer.‖

97
Human Resurrection:

The nafs is the main soul of a person. A human nafs is a

combination of unknown force fields (ruhs), and it is
given in the zygote or embryo. The human body is like a
mold in the mother‘s womb, while the nafs is like a cast.
As the baby grows, the nafs also grows and takes shape,
becoming designed as a program of creation.
A nafs becomes fixed at the time of a person's death.
The person can be re-created with this nafs and a set of
DNA molecules (46) collected from the remains of his
body.

―What! When we die and become dust that is a

return far! We already know how much of them
the earth takes away; with Us is a Record
Guarding‖ [Al Quran 50: 3–4]

What is the thing that the earth does not take away? It
is the DNA molecules. A DNA molecule survives in the
nature for several hundred thousand years. A set of DNA
molecules is enough to recreate a human.
Allah preserves the DNA molecules of each
individual in natural storage:

―It is He Who hath produced you from a Soul

Single (Nafsin-Wahidatin); here is a place of
dwelling and storage; We detail Our signs for
people who understand.‖ [Al Quran 6:98]

Only a set of DNA molecules cannot create a human.

If a zygote is placed into a test tube under the most
98
 favorable conditions, it cannot form a perfect body; it
would only produce a lump of flesh. Allah assists in the
shaping process within the mother‘s womb.
At the time of resurrection, the programmed nafs will
assist the DNA molecules in forming the body. At that
time, the mother‘s womb and the intimate help of Allah
will no longer be required. A human will grow from the
land, just as a plant grows.
Such a human cannot die in extreme situations; the
damaged parts of his body will regenerate.
The memory of each person is preserved by Allah in
the Lawh-Mahfuz, located in the Arsh, beyond the
universes. This memory will be returned to the brain of
the resurrected human.

See thou not that God merges night into day, and He
merges day into night, that He has subjected the sun and the
moon, each running its course for a term appointed; and that
God is well-acquainted with all that ye do? That is because
God is the Reality, and because whatever else they invoke
besides Him is falsehood, and because God: He is the Most
High, Most Great.
See thou not that the ships sail through the ocean by the
grace of God that He may show you of His signs? Verily, in
this are signs for all who constantly persevere and give
thanks.
When a wave covers them like the canopy, they call to
God offering Him sincere devotion. But when He has
delivered them safely to land, there are among them those
that halt between; but none reject Our signs except only a
perfidious ungrateful!

99
Section-6 [Verse 33-34]: Conclusion

O mankind! Guard against your Lord and fear a Day when no

father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his
father. Verily, the promise of God is true; let not then this
present life deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive
you about God.
Verily, the knowledge of the Hour is with God. It is He
Who sends down rain, and He Who knows what is in the
wombs. Nor does anyone know what it is that he will earn on
the morrow, nor does anyone know in what land he is to die.
Verily, with God is full knowledge, and He is acquainted.

Highlight: Introducing Hudan lil Muhsinin [Guidance for the

Doers of Good]

Introduction

The Surah discusses the creation of humankind and their final

destination. It narrates the deeds of Believers and compares
them with those of Unbelievers. Similar to Chapter 31, this
Chapter also reiterates important teachings presented in Part-
1 and Part-2 of the Quran. Consequently, it renders this Part
[Part 3 / Hudan lil Muhsinin] somewhat independent.

 Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter-32 [Verse 1-3]: A Book from the Lord

of the Universes

Alif, Lam, Mim. The Revelation of the Book, in which there

is no doubt, from the Lord of the universes.
Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Nay, it is the Truth
from thy Lord that thou may admonish a people, to whom no
Warner has come before thee, in order that they may receive
guidance.

Section-2 of Chapter-32 [Verse 4-6]: Presence of Allah in

the Arsh

It is God Who has created the Skies and Lands and all
between them in Six Days, then established Himself (did
istawa) in the Arsh; ye have none besides Him to protect or
intercede—will ye not then receive admonition?

Remarks:

The ‗Six Day Model of Creation‘ is deliberately

discussed in Section-3 of Chapter-41. Here, I will focus
on the concept of istawa.
Allah has created multiple universes. Two of these are
closely related to us: the Samawaat wal Ard (Skies and
Lands/this universe) and the Jannaat (another universe).
The Samawaat wal Ard is also referred to simply as
Samawaat (Skies/this universe).
The Arsh spans across all the universes and is the
greatest of all creations. It was created before the
102
Samawaat and the Jannaat. The Arsh can be considered as
the first universe or the highest universe.
Allah has a Kursi (Thorne) on the Arsh. He sits in the
Kursi. He has an appearance, with attributes such as a
face, hands, and legs. He created humans in His own
image:

―And Elohim created the man in His own image;

in the image of Elohim He created him. He
created them male and female.‖
[Genesis 1:27, Holy Bible]

Hadith: "Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created

Adam in His own image with his length of sixty
cubits...‖ [Muslim]

So, Allah has a form. And, He in form looks like a

human.
The verses under discussion say that ―…then
established Himself (did istawa) in the Arsh…‖ But,
sitting somewhere in the Arsh does not mean getting
established in the Arsh. If we can understand how Allah
established Himself (did istawa) in this universe
(Samawaat), we will be able to understand how Allah
established Himself (did istawa) in the Arsh.

1. The establishment (istawa) of Allah in this Universe

(Samawaat / Samawaat wal Ard)

The establishment (istawa) of Allah in this universe is

discussed in the following verse:

103
 ―Moreover, istawa (established Himself) into the
sky, while it had been smoke. He said to it
(smoke) and to the lands, ―Come ye together,
willingly or unwillingly.‖ They said, ―We do
come in willing obedience.‖ [Al Quran 41:11]

In the above verse, "sky" refers to the "single-sky-

universe" of the preceding (first) cycle, where space was
uniform. According to the verse, when Allah istawa
(established Himself) in the sky, there was only smoke.
However, when He said, "Come together, willingly or
unwillingly," lands were also formed. This implies that
the lands came into existence after His istawa in the sky.

FIGURE 32.1: Cyclic Universe / Model of the Quran

How does Allah's istawa relate to the formation of

lands (dust and asteroids)?
To answer:
There are many verses that indicate gravitational force
as force of Allah. Look into the following verses:

104
 ―Do they not see the birds, controlled in the
atmosphere of the Sky? None holds them except
Allah; most surely there are signs in this for a
people who believe‖ [Al Quran 16:79]

―Do they not observe the birds above them,

spreading their wings and folding them in? None
holds them except Most Gracious. Truly, it is He
that watches over all things.‖ [Al Quran 67:19]

A bird flies in the air by spreading and folding its wings.

However, it would become unbalanced and be thrown off
course if it were not held by gravity through its center of
gravity (CG). The act of holding birds through gravity is
described in the above verses as a direct act of Allah:
―None holds them except Most Gracious‖.
Therefore, gravitational force is a force of Allah
rooted through the deposits of matter. Allah holds the
birds through the Earth so that they do not become off
balanced while flying and can return to the land.

―He covers the night with the day, seeking it

rapidly, and the sun and the moon and the stars
controlled by His deed‖ [Al Quran 7:54]

―That is because God merges night into day, and

He merges day into night; and verily it is God
Who hears and sees.‖ [Al Quran 22:61]

According to the above verses, Allah rotates the Earth

to cause day and night; He moves the sun, the moon, and
the stars. Thus, gravitational force is a sustaining force of
105
Allah. A force field within a living being (Allah) should
be called soul.
The soul is deliberately discussed in Chapter-1. The
Quran talks about two kinds of souls: ruh and nafs:
 A ruh (an elementary soul) and a force field are
the same thing. It acts as Command of God.
 A nafs (a composite soul) is a combination of
known and/or unknown force fields. It sustains a
system, such as an atom, or a living being as an
active / living entity.
The nafs (main soul) of a human being is a
combination of unknown force fields (elementary souls /
ruhs). Similarly, the nafs of Allah is a combination of
known and unknown force fields. His nafs permeates His
body in form. 'He in form' is in the Arsh. He extended an
elementary soul (force field / ruh) of His nafs, and
infused it into the universe to sustain the objects. He
designed the elementary soul to act in fixed patterns. So,
its acts and effects look like fixed natural laws. We call it
gravitational force.
Allah has extended several elementary souls (force
fields / ruhs) of His nafs collectively as His hands of nafs,
extending from His body in form. A hand may comprise
10 to 15 elementary souls (force fields / ruhs). He uses
the hands to sustain and evolve the universes. He is
sustaining and evolving this universe (Samawaat) by His
right hand. He is sustaining and evolving the Arsh by His
left hand.
Therefore, visible Allah (Allah in Form) has material
hands, like a human‘s hands. But, His invisible part (nafs)
includes the hands of nafs. We know several elementary
souls of His hands, discussed below:
106
 The Gravitational Force. It is one the elementary
souls (force fields) of His nafs. The elementary
soul is extended into the universes through His
hands of nafs.

 The Dark Energy. Allah says that He expands

the universe. Therefore, Dark Energy may be a
force field (elementary soul / ruh) of His nafs,
which is extended through the hands of His nafs.

 The Vacuum Energy. The light of Allah is

permeating the universe. The light itself may be
an elementary soul (force field / ruh) of His nafs,
which is extended through the hand of His nafs.
Or, the light may be held in an elementary soul
(force field / ruh) of His Nafs, which is extended
through the hands of His nafs.

 The Quantum Fields. The fundamental

subatomic particles are held in the fields. The
fields should be sustaining force fields
(elementary souls / ruhs) of Allah at Quantum
level. So, the Quantum Fields should be
elementary souls of His nafs, which are extended
through His hands of nafs.

 Face of Nafs. Several force fields (elementary

souls / ruhs) of His nafs are extended through His
'face in form', making His 'face of nafs'. He sees
everything and hears everything.

107
 In 1982, Alain Aspect and his team discovered that
under certain circumstances subatomic particles, such as
electrons, are able to instantaneously communicate with
each other regardless of the distance separating them. It
doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles
apart. The scientists think that the separateness is an
illusion. At deeper level of reality such particles are not
individual entities but are actually extensions of the same
fundamental something. The foundation of the universe is
a single field of intelligence.
From a scientific perspective, the universe appears as
an expression of force fields because the creations,
including atoms and nafses, are formed from a Single
Soul (Nafsin-Wahidatin) breathed out by Allah.
Additionally, the creations are sustained within His
extended elementary souls (ruhs/force fields).
A creation itself (a fundamental subatomic particle) is
a product of Nafsin-Wahidatin (a Soul Single) that Allah
parted from His nafs. The parted nafs (Nafsin-Wahidatin)
got fragmented and produced the force fields that tend to
make fundamental subatomic particles in the extended
elementary souls (force fields / ruhs) of Allah. So, the
particles appear and disappear. The particles are
creations.
For example, an electron is a product of Nafsin-
Wahidatin; it is a creation and cannot merge with the
sustaining Quantum field (sustaining elementary soul of
Allah). The electron can only gain mass as a result of its
movement through the field.
Allah sustains everything, from fundamental
subatomic particles to the vast universes. He holds
absolute power over all creation. When He says, 'Be,' it
108
comes into existence instantly. Allah as Sustainer and
Evolver is viewed as Time:

―On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said that

the Messenger of Allah said, Allah says:
―Children of Adam inveigh against Time; I am
Time; I change the day and night‖
[Hadith-e-Qudsi, Bukhari and Muslim]

Therefore, Allah has established Himself (did istawa)

within the universe (Samawaat) by infusing several of His
extended elementary souls (force fields/ruhs) into the
fabric of space. These souls are designed by His will to
operate in fixed patterns, with some of their actions
resembling natural laws.
After the smoke (primarily hydrogen and helium) was
produced in the initial single-sky universe of the
preceding cycle, Allah infused the gravitational force, one
of His elementary souls (ruhs). This gravitational force
concentrated the smoke into the first generation stars.
Heavier elements were formed within these stars through
fusion reactions and scattered into space by supernova
explosions. These elements gave rise to dust and asteroids
(lands), as the verse states:

―Moreover, established Himself (did istawa) into

the sky, while it had been smoke. He said to it
(smoke) and to the lands (dusts and asteroids),
―Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly.‖
They said, ―We do come in willing obedience.‖
[Al Quran 41:11]

109
 Gravity halted the expansion of the single-sky
universe, causing it to begin contracting. Eventually, the
contracting universe underwent a Big Bounce, leading to
its rebirth as the expanding seven-sky universe of the
present (second) cycle.
During the formation of the skies, Allah commanded
the smoke and the lands to come together. Thus, the law
of inertia was established, ensuring the proportional
distribution of heavy and light matter across the skies.
Therefore, Allah did istawa (established Himself) into
the universe by infusing the right hand of His nafs.

2. The establishment of Allah in the Arsh

Allah did istawa (established Himself) into the Arsh in

the same way He did istawa into this universe
(Samawaat). He did istawa into the Arsh by infusing the
left hand of His nafs.
In addition, the verse connects human affairs with the
Arsh, as it says: ―…then did istawa (establish Himself) on
the Arsh; ye have none besides Him to protect or
intercede…‖ It means that Allah controls human affairs
from the Arsh.
Allah has a vast computer (CCU) in the Arsh, which
functions as the head of a super-giant cybernetic system.
The Empire of Angels is automated by this system.
The computer (CCU) monitors the affairs of living
creatures through the angels. These creatures are
monitored according to their fates, which are derived
from the Master Design.
I have discussed the CCU and the Master Design in
Section-9 of Chapter-6.
110
 He rules affairs from the Skies to the Earth—in the end
will go up to Him on a Day, the space whereof will be a
thousand years of your reckoning. Such is He, the Knower,
the Hidden and the Witnessed, the Exalted, the Merciful.

Remarks:

Allah sustains and controls the inert creations directly; no

one but Him can do so—an atom is too small to sustain
and control, and the universe is too vast.
However, living creatures have diversified activities.
Therefore, their fates were extracted from the Master
Design that Allah personally created in His Computer
(CCU). He has entrusted the angels with monitoring the
living creatures according to their fates.

FIGURE 32.2: Disposition of Overall Creation

The organization of angels is automated by a vast

cybernetic system, centered around a massive server
called Sidratul-Muntaha, located in the Araf beyond the

111
universes (Samawaat and Jannaat). It (Sidratul-Muntaha)
programs and assigns the angels to their respective tasks.
The Sidratul-Muntaha operates according to the
commands of the CCU, located in the Arsh. I have
discussed this system in detail in Section-9 of Chapter-6.
The universe (Samawaat) spans billions of light years
across. Therefore, anything descending from Sidratul-
Muntaha would take billions of years to reach Earth, even
if it moves at the speed of light. As a result, angels
assigned to a thousand-year period are grouped together
and dispatched long before the events related to that
group are scheduled to occur.

FIGURE 32.3: Cybernetic System

Once the group reaches the destined sky, the angels

are stationed at the Command Station and Fortresses of
112
that sky. From these stations, they are dispatched to their
respective job-stations by Sakinahs. A Sakinah carries a
group for a thousand months.
Thus, a day of the universal affair is equivalent to one
thousand earthly years, as the verses under discussion
state: ―He rules affairs from the Skies to the Earth—in the
end will go up to Him on a Day, the space whereof will be
a thousand years of your reckoning…‖
It is said in another verse too:

―...Verily a day in the sight of thy Lord is like a

thousand years of your reckoning.‖
[Al Quran 22: 47]

The angels responsible for monitoring the fates are

already destined. However, Allah personally comes to
know something instantly; He can act at once. In the
verses under discussion, Allah is described as the
Knower, the Hidden, and the Witnessed: ―…Such is He,
the Knower, the Hidden, and the Witnessed, the Exalted,
the Merciful.‖
Allah is manifest at the foundational (sub-atomic)
level. As He ascends to higher levels, He becomes
increasingly hidden. In our dimension, He is concealed,
yet we experience one of His sustaining forces, such as
gravity, which anchors matter at different points in space.
Thus, He is indirectly witnessed in our dimension as well.
Allah is One; He has no partner.

113
Section-3 of Chapter-32 [Verse 7-9]: Creation of Man and
Heredity

The One Who made good everything He created, and He

began the creation of man from the gene expression (tinin).

Remarks:

In the above verse, 'tinin' is commonly translated as 'clay.'

However, clay is silicon-based matter, whereas a human
is a carbon-based being. Therefore, 'tinin' should not be
translated as clay or mud.
The people of the past derived the idea from Socrates
that everything was created from Fire, Water, Earth, and
Air. Consequently, Islamic scholars interpreted 'tinin' as
'clay.' Later, when Arabic dictionaries were compiled in
the eighth century and beyond, the meaning of 'tinin' was
established as 'clay.'
'Tinin' has other meanings as well, such as 'point' and
'lute' (a kind of musical instrument with strings). The
―lute‖ is more appropriate in context of the verse.

FIGURE 32.1: Lute

114
 A zygote is a microscopic entity that can be compared
to a point. Therefore, 'tinin' in this verse can be
interpreted and translated as 'zygote.'
Alternatively, a human double helix DNA molecule
remains coiled as a microscopic chromosome, yet it is a
six-foot-long polymer. It can therefore be compared to a
string. A zygote, with its 46 molecules, can be compared
to a lute with strings. The music produced by the lute can
then be likened to the gene expressions that form the
human body in the mother‘s womb (with the help of
Allah). Therefore, 'tinin' in this verse can also be
interpreted and translated as the 'gene expression.'
The Earth evolved over approximately four and a half
billion years. In the final phase, its environment was
refined for the arrival of humans. Many ancient animals,
such as dinosaurs, were wiped out during the Mass
Extinction, and animals suitable for humans began to
appear.
―Around 65 million years ago, something unusual
happened on our planet—and we can see it in the fossil
record. Fossils that are abundant in earlier rock layers
are simply not present in later rock layers. A wide range
of animals and plants suddenly died out, from tiny marine
organisms to large dinosaurs.‖
– American Museum of Natural History
For example, primitive horses were only 20 cm high.
Their small size was necessary for them to hide in
undergrowth and burrows to survive the Ages of Reptiles
(Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods).

115
 FIGURE 32.2: Made good everything He created

A human could not ride a 20 cm high horse. About 66

million years ago, evolution was redirected to make the
Earth suitable for Adam, marking the beginning of the
Age of Mammals (Cenozoic Era). The great reptiles were
wiped out, and horses were made larger and obedient.
After the Earth was made suitable for humans, Allah
created Adam by developing the gene expression, as the
verses under discussion indicate: ―The One Who made
good everything He created, and He began the creation
of man from gene expression.‖
There are other verses that help us understand how
Allah created Adam:

―Glory to God Who created all things that the

earth produces, as well as their own kind, and
things of which they have no knowledge from
Pairs (double helix DNA molecule)‖
[Al Quran 36:36]

116
 The above verse means that Allah created Adam with
double helix DNA molecules (pairs) that produce all
earthly creatures, from amoebas to blue whales, and from
bacteria to maple trees.
It is likely that Allah created a human cell with a
complete set of double helix DNA molecules (46) and
provided it with nourishment. The cell multiplied and
formed Adam‘s body, similar to the creation of a baby in
a test tube. Allah began with the development of the
genome.

Then He made his progeny from the heredity (sulalatin)

of despised fluid.

Remarks:

In the above verses, 'sulalatin' is often translated as

'extract' or 'sperm,' but the actual meaning of 'sulalatin' is
'heredity,' 'lineage,' 'ancestry,' etc.
We know that the double helix DNA molecules of
sperm and ovum carry hereditary information. Therefore,
"heredity of despised fluid" should refer to the "hereditary
information carried by sperm and ovum":
―Chromosomes are thread-like molecules that carry
hereditary information for everything from height to eye
color. They are made of protein and one molecule of
DNA (Double Helix DNA Molecule), which contains an
organism‘s genetic instructions, passed down from
parents‖ – livescience
The groups of double helix DNA molecules, carried
by the sperm and ovum, are responsible for carrying and
117
transmitting hereditary material or genetic instructions
from parents to offspring.
Thus, the DNA material of a zygote produces a
specific child—a child of a European couple will
resemble a European, not an African. He will look like
his father and grandfather, but not exactly like them.
To explain further:
According to Encyclopedia Britannica heredity is:
―The sum of all biological processes by which particular
characteristics are transmitted from parents to their
offspring. The concept of heredity encompasses two
seemingly paradoxical observations about organisms: the
constancy of a species from generation to generation and
the variation among individuals within a species.
Constancy and variation are actually two sides of the
same coin, as becomes clear in the study of genetics. Both
aspects of heredity can be explained by genes, the
functional units of heritable material that are found
within all living cells. Every member of a species has a
set of genes specific to that species. It is this set of genes
that provides the constancy of the species. Among
individuals within a species, however, variations can
occur in the form each gene takes, providing the genetic
basis for the fact that no two individuals (except identical
twins) have exactly the same traits.‖
– The Encyclopedia Britannica
A boy is slightly different from his father and a little
different from his brothers.
Each human somatic cell contains 23 pairs of diploid
chromosomes. During meiosis, these chromosomes are
reduced to 23 haploid chromosomes to form reproductive
cells.

A human cell divides in two ways: Mitosis and

Meiosis. Mitosis is responsible for general cell division,
producing two identical diploid cells with 23 pairs (46
total) of chromosomes. Meiosis, on the other hand,
occurs only in the reproductive organs to produce
gametes (sperm or ovum). Each gamete contains 23
haploid chromosomes, ensuring the correct chromosome
number is restored during fertilization (fusion of sperm
and ovum).
Meiosis creates new genetic material for offspring
through a process called Chromosome Crossover.
Chromosome Crossover is the exchange of genetic
material between homologous chromosomes during
Prophase I of Meiosis. This process results in
recombinant chromosomes, which contribute to genetic
variation in offspring:

119
 FIGURE 32.4: Chromosome Crossover

Chromosome Crossover and independent assortment

during Meiosis, offspring inherit a unique combination of
alleles and genes that differ from their parents.

Furthermore, He fashioned him in due proportion, and

breathed into him His ruh, and He gave you hearing and sight
and feeling; little thanks do ye give!

Remarks:

The genome alone is not sufficient to fashion a human. A

zygote placed in a test tube under the most favorable
conditions does not form a perfect body; instead, it
produces only a lump of flesh.
In the mother‘s womb, there is nothing inherently
extraordinary. However, the mother‘s body and nafs
provide an optimal environment for Allah to cross
dimensions and work closely on finer matters. Allah
120
monitors the formation of a human baby in the mother‘s
womb. Remember, when Allah slightly revealed Himself
on the Mount of Moses, the Mount was burned. Yet,
Allah can act safely through a human being.
As Allah fashions a baby in the mother‘s womb, the
baby‘s nafs (primary / a composite soul) is designed as a
program of creation. Therefore, during resurrection, the
mother‘s womb and Allah‘s intimate involvement in the
process will no longer be necessary.
A human possesses a special ruh (elementary soul / an
unknown force field) without which consciousness is
impossible. Allah breathes this special ruh into a baby
just after birth (similar to how He breathed ruh into
Adam), enabling the baby to become conscious and cry
for the first time.
Allah detaches the ruh when a person sleeps, leaving
him with an incomplete nafs (main or composite soul, a
combination of unknown force fields). The ruh is
returned upon waking, restoring consciousness.
The ruh is removed from a body during sleep and
death.
The ruh of a human is a designed force field of an
unknown kind, anchored in specific muscles of the chest.
With the help of the nafs, chest muscles, nervous system,
and brain, the ruh produces the virtual brain, which
extends beyond the physical brain. The ruh acts as the
platform for the virtual brain. We call the virtual brain
mind (qalb).
The virtual brain (mind / qalb) governs hearing,
seeing, and feelings, as the verses under discussion
describe: ―Furthermore, He fashioned him in due

121
 proportion, and breathed into him His ruh, and He gave
you hearing and sight and feeling…‖
How the ruh relates to hearing, sight, and feeling is
discussed in detail in Section-10 of Chapter-6. To
recapitulate, a brief explanation of its relationship to sight
and feelings is provided below:
One‘s material brain cannot cope with the rapidly
changing sights while driving a car. Each sight provides a
large amount of data, and the brain would become
overloaded if all this data were processed deliberately. To
manage this, unimportant data is quickly erased, and the
brain learns to process visual information by matching
key points. For example, a Caucasian may perceive all
Mongoloids as looking alike because his brain has not
learned the key points that differentiate them.
It is likely that the virtual brain (qalbs/minds) plays a
role in forming visions, with much of the data being
erased before reaching the material brain. In certain
situations, we may be driven solely by our virtual brains.
The virtual brain also enables one to experience
emotions. Sorrow and joy are felt in the chest, where the
ruh is anchored. It is worth noting that sorrow and joy are
associated with the ruh, whereas other emotions are
linked to the force fields of the nafs. Ruh and nafs are
discussed in detail in Section 10 of Chapter 6.

Section-4 of Chapter-32 [Verse 10-14]: Immediate

Judgment

And they say: "What! When we are lost in the earth, shall we
indeed be in a creation renewed? Nay, they deny the meeting
with their Lord.
122
 Say: "The angel of death put in charge of you will take
your souls; then shall ye be brought back to your Lord. If
only thou could see when the guilty ones will bend low their
heads before their Lord, "Our Lord! We have seen and we
have heard. Now then send us back; we will work
righteousness, for we do indeed believe."

Remarks:

We know that an angel named Azrail collects the soul

(nafs) of a person at the time of death. The angel places
the soul of a sinner into the Sijjin and the soul of a
Believer into the Illiyin, where it is further prepared for
its final destination. Therefore, the primary judgment—
determining whether one will go to Jannaat or Hell—is
made immediately after death by Allah.
The verses under discussion indicate that the souls
(nafs) of humans are taken to Allah for judgment
immediately after their deaths. The verses describe their
condition: "Our Lord! We have seen and we have heard.
Now then send us back; we will work righteousness, for
we do indeed believe."
However, a nafs is not intelligent enough to present
its arguments. Therefore, it is important to understand
how a nafs acquires intelligence and the knowledge of its
earthly life, enabling it to interact with Allah during the
Judgment.

123
1. Preparing a Nafs for Judgment before it is sent to
Illiyin or Sijjin.

The soul (nafs) of a deceased person is first taken by

Azrail (the Angel of Death) to the Arsh, where his
holographic body is produced by the CCU (Central
Computer of the Universes, as discussed in Section 9 of
Chapter 6).
The CCU can produce a holographic human due to
the following reasons:
 The CCU is a highly advanced divine computer,
consisting of the Pen, the Saving Disc (Lawh-Mahfuz
/ Disc Saved), and the Motherboard (Mother of the
Book), where Allah created a virtual universe as His
Master Design before creating the physical universe.
 We were created in the virtual universe through our
nafses and genome codes, and we lived holographic
lives on a holographic Earth within the CCU.
 Currently, the memory data of each person is
collected by the angel every night, as stated in the
following verse:

―It is He who does take your ruhs by night,

and has knowledge of all that you have done
by day; by day does He raise you up again;
that a term appointed be fulfilled. In the end,
unto Him will be your return; then will He
show you the truth of all that you did.‖
[Al Quran 6:60]

124
The angel collects and preserves the brain data in the
CCU, where each human‘s information is stored in
appropriate files and folders.
After the nafs of a dead person is taken to the Arsh, it
(nafs) is energized with his virtual physique, produced
from his genome code. And his memory file is connected
to his virtual brain. Then the holographic human is
projected before Allah for the Judgment.
After the nafs of a deceased person is taken to the
Arsh, it is energized with his virtual physique, produced
from his DNA code, a copy of which is stored in the
CCU. His memory file is linked to the virtual brain. The
person is then almost like a human on the Earth. The
holographic human is subsequently projected before
Allah for judgment.
Subsequently, he is placed into the holographic world
of Illiyin or Sijjin, where he meets his deceased relatives.
They will remain there until the Day of Judgment.
Illiyin and Sijjin are highly developed servers linked
to the CCU, capable of supporting the holographic worlds
and holographic humans.

2. Points to Know about Illiyin and Sijjin:

We need to understand the following points in order to

comprehend Illiyin and Sijjin.

a. Illiyin and Sijjin are programmed hard drives of the

servers linked to the Central Computer of the
Universes (CCU). These hard drives are referred to as
the 'Book Inscribed:

125
 Nay! Surely the Book of the wicked is in
Sijjin. And what will explain to thee what
Sijjin is? A Book inscribed! [Al Quran 83:7-9]

b. Sijjin governs the holographic world of the sinners,

which is located in the deep Barzakh. Illiyin is a
similar establishment for the righteous, but it is
situated in the higher Barzakh.
c. The Barzakh is a non-negotiable barrier space that
separates the Samawaat (this universe) from the
Jannaat (another universe).

FIGURE 32.5: Barzakh, Illiyin, Sijjin

3. Punishment of the Grave

A human can be punished in the holographic life of Illiyin

or Sijjin, which is known as the Punishment of the Grave.
The human brain cannot distinguish between virtual
reality and physical reality. For example, one may close
one‘s eyes and imagine sitting on the edge of a fifty-story
building; one will still feel fear. Similarly, the feeling of
126
pain is a virtual experience, as it is perceived by the brain.
Therefore, there is no reason to underestimate the
punishment in the virtual realm of Sijjin.
A human nafs does not change after death. We know
that a temperature of 1028 degrees K is required to merge
the Strong Nuclear Force Field with the Electromagnetic
Force Field. Similarly, the human nafs is a combination
of unknown force fields (yet to be discovered). It is not
easy to change.
However, the nafs of a sinner becomes more resilient
in the Sijjin, with some corrections applied. This process
involves the application of extreme heat, which
constitutes the 'Punishment of the Grave.'
The person (hell dweller) will be resurrected as a
towering giant, standing a thousand kilometers tall. He
will require space from Makkah to Madinah just to sit.
Allah, in His Mercy and as an unprecedented Creator,
will not send a servant unprepared for his destination,
even if the servant is a sinner.
There may also be punishments in Illiyin. A person
destined for Jannaat may have committed sins that
harmed their nafs. In such cases, their nafs may be
corrected through punishments in Illiyin.
Illiyin and Sijjin are deliberately discussed in
Chapter-83.
Finally, as discussed above, our memories are
collected every night. The memories of the last day are
gathered by scanning the brain in the grave. The asking of
the three questions in the grave—'Who is your Lord?
What is your religion? Who is your prophet?'—illustrates
this process.

127
 If We had so willed, We could certainly have brought
every soul its true guidance, but the Word from Me will come
true: "I will fill hell with jinns and men all together"– Taste
ye then; for ye forgot the meeting of this Day of yours, and
We too will forget you—taste ye the Penalty of Eternity for
your deeds!

Section 5 of Chapter-32 [Verse 15-17]: They Believe

It is they believe in Our verses those who when they are

recited to them fall down in adoration and celebrate the
praises of their Lord, nor are they puffed up with pride; their
limbs do forsake their beds of sleep the while they call on
their Lord in Fear and Hope, and they spend out of the
sustenance which We have bestowed on them. Now no
person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden for
them, as a reward for their deeds.

Section 6 of Chapter-32 [Verse18-20]: Not Equals

Is then the man who believes no better than the man who is
rebellious and wicked? Not equal are they: For those who
believe and do righteous deeds Jannaat-ul-Maawa are homes
for their deeds. As to those who are rebellious and wicked,
their abode will be the Fire; every time they wish to get away
there-from, they will be forced there-into, and it will be said
to them, "Taste ye the penalty of the fire, the which ye were
wont to reject as false."

128
Section 7 of Chapter-32 [Verse 21-22]: Punishment in this
World

And indeed, We will make them taste of the penalty of this

(life) prior to the supreme penalty in order that they may
return. And who does more wrong than one to who are
recited the verses of his Lord, and who then turns away there-
from? Verily, from those who transgress, We shall exact
retribution.

Section 8 of Chapter-32 [Verse 23-30]: Conclusion

We did indeed aforetime give the Book to Moses, be not then

in doubt of its reaching, and We made it a guide to the
children of Israel. And We appointed from among them
leaders giving guidance under Our command so long as they
persevered with patience and continued to have faith in Our
verses. Verily, thy Lord will judge between them on the Day
of Judgment in the matters wherein they differ.
Does it not teach them a lesson, how many
generations We destroyed before them—in whose dwellings
they go to and fro? Verily, in that are signs. Do they not then
listen?
And do they not see that We do drive rain to parched
soil and produce therewith crops providing food for their
cattle and themselves? Have they not the vision?
They say: "When will this decision be, if ye are
telling the truth?"
Say: "On the Day of Decision no profit will it be to
Unbelievers if they believe, nor will they be granted a
respite."

129
 So, turn away from them and wait; they too are
waiting.

 Tafsir of the Surah
Section 1 of Chapter 33 [Verse 1-3]: Follow the Revelation

O Prophet! Fear for the sake of God and hearken not to the
Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, verily God is full of
Knowledge and Wisdom. But follow that which comes to
thee by inspiration from thy Lord; for God is well acquainted
with that ye do. And put thy trust in God, and enough is God
as a disposer of affairs.

Section 2 of Chapter 33 [Verse 4-5]: False Relation

God has not made for any man two qalbs (minds) in his body,
nor has He made your wives whom ye divorce by Zihar your
mothers, nor has He made your adopted sons your sons; such
is your speech by your mouths, but God tells the truth and He
shows the way: Call them by their fathers; that is more just in
the sight of God. But if you do not know their fathers, then
they are brothers in religion, and those entrusted to you. But
there is no blame on you if ye make a mistake therein—the
intention of your qalbs (minds); and God is Oft-Returning,
Most Merciful.

Remarks:

―Zihr‖ was a pre-Islamic Arabian custom in which a

husband could divorce his wife by declaring, 'Thou art
henceforth as my mother‘s back' (with Zahr meaning
‗back‘). In pagan Arab societies, this form of divorce was
considered final and irrevocable. However, the divorced
woman was not permitted to remarry and was forced to
132
 remain under her former husband‘s custody, effectively
reducing her to the status of a household slave. This
practice was abolished by verses 58:1-4 of the Quran.
Adopted sons should be called by the name of their
biological father. If the father's name is unknown, they
should be regarded as brothers in Islam.

Section 3 of Chapter 33 [Verse 6]: Prophet‘s (pbuh) Wives

are Mothers

The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own-selves,

and his wives are their mothers.
Blood relations among each other have closer personal
ties, in the decree of God, than Believers and Muhajirs;
nevertheless do ye what is just to your closest friends; such is
the writing in the decree.

Section 4 of Chapter 33 [Verse 7-8]: Covenant of Prophets

And remember We took from the prophets their covenant, as

from thee, from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of
Mary; we took from them a solemn covenant that (God) may
question the (Prophets) of Truth concerning the Truth they
(preached). And He has prepared for the Unbelievers a
grievous Penalty.

Section 5 of Chapter 33 [Verse 9-27]: The Battle of

Khandak (Ditch)

O ye who believe! Remember the grace of God on you, when

there came down on you hosts. But We sent against them a

133
hurricane and forces that ye saw not, but God sees all that ye
do. Behold! They came on you from above you and from
below you, and behold, the eyes became dim and the hearts
gaped up to the throats, and ye imagined various thoughts
about God! In that situation were the Believers tried; they
were shaken as by a tremendous shaking.
And behold! The Hypocrites and those in whose hearts is
a disease say: "God and His Apostle promised us nothing but
delusion!"
Behold! A party among them said: "Ye men of Yathrib!
Ye cannot stand! Therefore, go back!"
And a band of them ask for leave of the Prophet, saying:
"Truly our houses are bare and exposed," though they were
not exposed. They intended nothing but to run away. And if
an entry had been effected to them from the sides of the
(ditch), and they had been incited to sedition, they would
certainly have brought it to pass with none but a brief delay;
and yet they had already covenanted with God not to turn
their backs, and a covenant with God must be answered for.
Say: "Running away will not profit you if ye are running
away from death or slaughter, and even if (ye do escape), no
more than a brief (respite) will ye be allowed to enjoy!"
Say: "Who is it that can screen you from God if it be His
wish to give you punishment or to give you mercy?" Nor will
they find for themselves, besides God, any protector or
helper.
Verily, God knows those among you who keep back
(men) and those who say to their brethren, "Come along to
us, but come not to the fight except for just a little while‖—
covetous over you.
Then when fear comes, thou will see them looking to
thee; their eyes revolving like one over whom hovers death,
134
but when the fear is past, they will smite you with sharp
tongues—covetous of goods.
Such men have no Faith, and so God has made their
deeds of none effect; and that is easy for God. They think that
the Confederates have not withdrawn; and if the Confederates
should come (again), they would wish, they were in the
deserts among the Bedouins and seeking news about you; and
if they were in your midst, they would fight but little.
Ye have, indeed, in the Apostle of God good for any one
whose hope is in God and the Final Day, and who engages
much in the praise of God.
When the Believers saw the Confederate forces, they
said: "This is what God and his Apostle had promised us, and
God and His Apostle told us what was true." And it only
added to their faith and their zeal in obedience.
Among the Believers are men who have been true to their
covenant with God; of them some have completed their vow,
and some wait, but they have never changed in the least.
That God may reward the men of Truth for their Truth
and punish the Hypocrites if that be His Will or turn to them
in Mercy; for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And God turned back the Unbelievers for their fury; no
advantage did they gain; and enough is God for the Believers
in their fight. And God is Full of Strength, Able to enforce
His Will.

Remarks:

In the 5th year of Hijrah, a large army gathered against

the Muslims of Madinah. The Jews of Bani an-Nadir and
Bani Qainuqa came from the north, while the tribes of
Ghatafan, Bani Sulaim, Fazarah, Murrah, Ashja, Sa‘d,
135
and Asad approached from the east. The Quraysh, along
with their allies, advanced from the south. Together, their
forces numbered between ten and twelve thousand.
It was a combined offensive orchestrated by the Jews
of Bani an-Nadir, who had settled in Khyber after their
banishment from Madinah. They went around to various
tribes, persuading them to unite their forces for a joint
attack on Madinah.
Madinah was partially protected by its natural
surroundings. Impassable lava rocks encircled the city,
except in the west. There was a gap in the south, but it
was covered with thick vegetation, making an assault
from that direction very difficult.

FIGURE 33.1: The Defense of Madinah

136
 The Prophet (pbuh) prepared a trench along the
western and northern boundaries and took up position
with 3,000 men, with Mount Sala at their back. Salman
the Persian, the first Persian convert to Islam, proposed
the plan for this defensive obstacle.
The adversaries laid siege to Madinah for 27 days,
beginning on March 31, 627. One night, a thunderstorm
struck their camp, bringing severe cold winds and
darkness. The wind toppled their tents and threw them
into disarray. That same night, they abandoned the
battlefield and returned to their homes.
In the morning, not a single enemy soldier remained
on the battlefield. Upon finding it empty, the Prophet
(pbuh) declared: 'The Quraysh will never be able to attack
you after this; now, it is you who will take the offensive.'

And those of the People of the Book who aided them,

God did take them down from their strongholds and cast
terror into their hearts, some ye slew and some ye made
prisoners. And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses,
and their goods, and of a land, which ye had not frequented
(before). And God has power over all things.

Remarks:

After the Battle of Khandak, the Muslims besieged the

Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. The tribe surrendered after
two to three weeks. Subsequently, 500 to 800 men of
Banu Qurayza were executed, while the women and
children were enslaved.

137
 The Jewish tribes of Banu Qainuqa and Banu an-
Nadir had already been exiled. Banu Qurayza could have
been exiled as well, but the previously exiled Jewish
tribes were the ones who orchestrated the offensive at
Khandak. The Quraysh of Makkah could never have
gathered such a large force on their own; they were
content with their partial victory at Uhud. The Khandak
offensive, in reality, was a Jewish-led attack. Had the
tribe of Qurayza been exiled, it would have strengthened
the forces of the exiled tribes, making them virtually
unbeatable.
It was a do-or-die situation.
The Prophet (pbuh) destroyed the tribe of Qurayza,
following the instructions of Gabriel, and subsequently
drove the previously exiled Jews out of the Arabian
Peninsula (defined as the area south of the line joining the
tip of the Persian Gulf and the tip of the Red Sea).
In the treaty of surrender, Banu Qurayza appointed
Hazrat Sad bin Muadh as the judge, who ruled according
to the traditions of the Holy Bible. The verdict was
carried out by the forces of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Soon, Madinah became the religious center dedicated
to the spreading of Islam throughout the Home of
Ummah, extending from Morocco to the Pamirs. The
presence of Jewish tribes in Madinah would have been a
hindrance to this mission. Outside the Arabian Peninsula,
Jews lived in safety throughout the Muslim territories,
protected forever.

138
Section 6 of Chapter 33 [Verse 28-34]: Instruction to
Prophet‘s (pbuh) Consorts

O Prophet! Say to thy consorts: "If it be that ye desire the life

of this world and its glitter, then come, I will provide for your
enjoyment and set you free in a handsome manner. But if ye
seek God and His Apostle and the home of the hereafter,
verily God has prepared for the well doers amongst you a
great reward.
O consorts of the Prophet! If any of you were guilty of
evident unseemly conduct, the punishment would be doubled
to her, and that is easy for God. But any of you that is devout
in the service of God and His Apostle and works
righteousness, to her shall We grant her reward twice, and
We have prepared for her a generous sustenance.
O consorts of the Prophet! Ye are not like any of the
women. If you guard, then be not too complacent of speech
lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with
desire, but speak ye a speech just.
And stay quietly in your houses and make not a dazzling
display like that of the former times of ignorance, and
establish regular prayer, and give regular Charity, and obey
God and His Apostle.
And God only wishes to remove all abomination from
you, ye members of the family, and to make you pure and
spotless.
And recite what is rehearsed to you in your homes of the
verses of God and His wisdom; for God understands the
finest mysteries and is well acquainted.

139
Section 7 of Chapter 33 [Verse 35-39]: Marrying Divorced
Wife of Adopted Son

For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women,
for devout men and women, for true men and women, for
men and women who are patient and constant, for men and
women who humble themselves, for men and women who
give in charity, for men and women who fast, for men and
women who guard their chastity, and for men and women
who engage much in God's praise—for them has God
prepared forgiveness and great reward.
It is not fitting for a Believer man or woman when a
matter has been decided by God and His Apostle to have any
option about their decision; if any one disobeys God and His
Apostle, he is indeed on a clear wrong path.
Behold! Thou did say to one who had received the grace
of God and thy favor, "Retain thou thy wife and guard for the
sake of God." But thou did hide in thy heart that, which God
was about to make manifest—thou did fear the people, but it
is more fitting that thou should fear God.
Then when Zaid had dissolved with her with the
necessary (formality), We joined her in marriage to thee, in
order that there may be no difficulty to the Believers in
marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter
have dissolved with the necessary (formality) with them. And
God's command must be fulfilled.
There can be no difficulty to the Prophet in what God has
indicated to him as a duty. It was the practice of God
amongst those of old that have passed away. And the
command of God is a decree determined who preach the
Messages of God, and fears Him, and fears none but God;
and enough is God to call to account.
140
Remarks:

Zayd ibn Harithah was once a slave of Prophet

Muhammad (pbuh). When his parents came to Makkah to
take him back, the Prophet (pbuh) freed him, but Zayd
chose not to leave. In response, the Prophet (pbuh) took
Zayd to the steps of the Kaaba and announced to the
crowds, 'Witness that Zayd becomes my son, with mutual
rights of inheritance.' Upon hearing this, Zayd‘s father
was satisfied and returned home. This event occurred
before the Prophet's (pbuh) Prophethood.
When the family of Zaynab bint Jahsh, a cousin of
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), sought refuge in Madinah,
the Prophet (pbuh) proposed the marriage of Zayd ibn
Harithah to Zaynab bint Jahsh. Initially, she refused—she
was from the Quraysh, and Zayd had once been a slave.
However, she eventually agreed to the marriage. The
marriage was unhappy and lasted for about two years.
After Zayd divorced her, she was married to the Prophet
(pbuh), as narrated in the verses above.
After this event, adoption was no longer recognized in
Islam, and marrying one's adopted son or daughter, or
their divorced spouses, became permissible.
One may raise an orphan child, but this does not grant
the right of inheritance, and the child's father‘s name
must not be changed.

141
Section 8 of Chapter 33 [Verse 40-44]: Muhammad (pbuh)
cannot be called Father

Muhammad is not the father of any of your men but the

Apostle of God and the Seal of the Prophets; and God has full
knowledge of all things.
O ye who believe! Celebrate the praises of God and do
this often; and glorify Him morning and evening. He it is
Who sends blessings on you as do His angels that He may
bring you out from the depths of darkness into light; and He
is full of mercy to the Believers. Their salutation on the Day
they meet Him will be, "Peace", and He has prepared for
them a generous reward.

Section 9 of Chapter 33 [Verse 45-48]: Heed not their

Annoyances

O Prophet! Truly, We have sent thee as a witness, a bearer of

glad tidings, and Warner, and as one who invites to God's
(grace) by His leave, and as a lamp spreading light. Then
give the glad tidings to the Believers that they shall have
from God a very great bounty. And obey not of the
Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and heed not their
annoyances, but put thy trust in God; for enough is God as a
disposer of affairs.

Section 10 of Chapter 33 [Verse 49-52]: Instruction of

Marriage for Prophet (pbuh)

O You who have believed! When you marry believing

women and then divorce them before you have touched them,
then there is not for you any waiting period to count
142
concerning them. So, provide for them and give them a
gracious release.

Remarks:

The Quran was revealed in the context of the Prophet‘s

(pbuh) life.
The marriage of Zaynab bint Jahsh and Zayd ibn
Harithah was unhappy—they lived in the same house but
had no physical relationship. Therefore, the waiting
period (of four months) was not required for her.

O Prophet! Indeed, We have made lawful to you: your

wives to whom you have given their due compensation, and
those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned
to you, and the daughters of your paternal uncles, and the
daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your
maternal uncles, and the daughters of your maternal aunts
who emigrated with you, and a woman believing if she gives
herself to the Prophet (and), if the Prophet wishes to marry
her—only for you, excluding the believers.
We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon
them concerning their wives and those their right hands
possess—in order that there will be upon you no discomfort;
and ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
You may put aside whom you will of them, or take to
yourself whom you will, and any that you desire of those
from whom you had separated—there is no blame upon you.
That is more suitable that they should be content and not
grieve, and they should be satisfied with what you have given
them, all of them. And Allah knows what is in your hearts.
And ever is Allah Knowing and Forbearing.
143
 It is not lawful for thee (to marry more) women after this,
nor to change them for (other) wives, even though their
beauty attracts thee, except any thy right hand should
possess; and God does watch over all things.

Remarks:

Many women would approach the Prophet (pbuh) with

the requests for marriage, believing it to be a way of
going to the Jannaat.
As new tribes were embracing Islam, some tribal
chiefs requested that the Prophet (pbuh) marry women
from their tribes.
Therefore, it was made forbidden for the Prophet
(pbuh) to marry more women.
At the same time, any believing woman who would
offer herself to prophet (pbuh) was made lawful for him.

Section 11 of Chapter 33 [Verse 53-57]: Annoying Prophet

and his Family

O ye who believe! Enter not the Prophet's houses until leave

is given you for a meal; not to wait for its preparation, but
when ye are invited, enter; and when ye have taken your
meal, disperse without seeking familiar talk. Such annoys the
Prophet; he is ashamed to dismiss you, but God is not
ashamed of the truth.
And when ye ask for anything ye want, ask them from
before a screen; that makes for greater purity for your hearts
and for theirs.
Nor is it right for you that ye should annoy God's
Apostle, or that ye should marry his widows after him at any
144
time. Truly, such a thing is in God's sight an enormity.
Whether ye reveal anything or conceal it, verily, God has full
knowledge of all things.
There is no blame before their fathers, or their sons, their
brothers, or their brothers‘ sons, or their sisters' sons, or their
women, or whom their right hands possess. And guard for the
sake of God; for God is witness to all things.
God and His angels send blessings on the Prophet. O ye
that believe! Send ye blessings on him and salute him with all
respect.
Those who annoy God and His Apostle, God has cursed
them in this world and in the hereafter and has prepared for
them a humiliating punishment.

Section 12 of Chapter 33 [Verse 58-59]: Annoying

Believers and Hijab

And those who annoy believing men and women

undeservedly bear a calumny and a glaring sin. O Prophet!
Tell thy wives and daughters and the believing women to
draw over themselves their outer garments (jalabi); that is
most convenient; that they should be known and not
molested. And God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Remarks:

This is the hijab for women going outside, as it serves the

purpose of identifying them as Muslims. The details of
how their dress should be are specifically addressed in
Section 7 of Chapter 24.

145
Section 13 of Chapter 33 [Verse 60-62]: Spreading Rumors

If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is disease and

those who spread rumors in Al-Madinah do not cease, We
will surely incite you against them; then they will not remain
your neighbors therein, except for a little. They shall have a
curse on them; whenever they are found, they shall be seized
and slain—the practice of God among those who lived
aforetime; no change will thou find in the practice of God.

Section 14 of Chapter 33 [Verse 63-68]: Cursed

Unbelievers

Men ask thee concerning the Hour: Say, "The knowledge

thereof is with God," and what will make thee understand
perchance the Hour is nigh!
Verily, God has cursed the Unbelievers and prepared for
them a blazing fire to dwell therein forever; no protector will
they find, nor helper.
The day that their faces will be turned upside down in the
fire, they will say: "Woe to us! Would that we obeyed God
and obeyed the Apostle!"
And they would say: "Our Lord! We obeyed our chiefs
and our great ones, and they misled us as to the path. Our
Lord! Give them double penalty and curse them with a very
great curse!"

146
Section 15 of Chapter 33 [Verse 69-73]: Vicegerents of
God

O ye who believe! Be ye not like those who vexed and

insulted Moses; but God cleared him of the (calumnies) they
had uttered, and he was honorable in God's sight.
O ye who believe! Guard for the sake of God and say a
word directed to the right that He may make your conduct
whole and sound and forgive you your sins. He that obeys
God and His Apostle has already attained the highest
achievement.
We did indeed offer the Trust to the Skies and Lands and
the Mountains, but they refused to undertake it being afraid
thereof. But man undertook it; he was indeed unjust and
foolish—that God has to punish the Hypocrites, men and
women, and the Unbelievers, men and women; and God turns
in mercy to the Believers, men and women; for God is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Remarks:

The last paragraph of the above verses requires some

discussion, as it says: ―We did indeed offer the Trust to
the Skies and Lands and the Mountains, but they refused
to undertake it being afraid thereof…‖ It indicates that
Allah wanted to make the Skies, the Lands, and the
Mountains (objects of the universe) self-sufficient in all
aspects of obeying His orders. But, in that case, the nature
would be too complex, and it was feared that it would fail
in cases.
A human is an intelligent learning creature; his
integration with an object, such as a galaxy, fulfills the
147
need. So, Allah has selected humans as His vicegerents.
However, no one can influence the evolution of the
Universe, where creations are sustained by Him from the
subatomic level, and which follows many of the natural
laws imparted by the hands of His nafs. A human's
responsibilities are limited to living creatures and isolated
small acts.
The nature of humans demanded the responsibility.
Humans desire to see themselves as powerful entities.
This was evident in their virtual lives in the CCU. [Before
the creation of this universe, we lived virtual lives in a
virtual universe created in the CCU as the Master Design,
which is deliberately discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-
6].
Now, both universes, Samawaat (this universe) and
Jannaat (another universe), require vicegerents of God.
However, the Samawaat is violent by nature, filled with
anti-matter, burning stars, and hostile planets. It is created
to be suitable for the jinns. On the other hand, Jannaat is
peaceful. So, who should be the vicegerents of God in the
Samawaat, and who should be the vicegerents of God in
the Jannaat?
So, we are undergoing tests. Based on the tests, Allah
will place the Hypocrites and Unbelievers in the hostile
objects of this universe (Samawaat). And He will place
the Believers in the Jannaat.
Nobody would want to be appointed as a vicegerent
in the Samawaat. Therefore, Allah will have to force
some humans into the objects (galaxies) of the Samawaat,
which is an unpleasant task. This is mentioned in the
verses under discussion: ―…But man undertook it; he was
indeed unjust and foolish—that God has to punish the
148
Hypocrites, men and women, and the Unbelievers, men
and women, and God turns in mercy to the Believers, men
and women; for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.‖
It is narrated that on the Day of Judgment, Hell (the
objects of the Samawaat) will continue to ask for more
humans:

"One Day We will ask Hell, "Art thou filled to the

full?" It will say, "Are there any more?""
[Al Quran 50:30]

"After the Judgment, a group of people will be

thrown into the hell (Samawaat / this Universe),
and the hell will be asked, 'Is she satisfied?' The
hell will say, 'Are there any more?' Then another
group will be thrown into the hell, and the hell
will be asked, 'Is it enough?' The hell will say,
'Are there any more?' Then another group will be
thrown into the hell, and the hell will be asked, 'Is
it enough?' The hell will say, 'Are there any
more?' Then Allah will put His leg into the hell.
Then the hell will be satisfied and say, 'enough,
enough, enough' and its one part will be squeezed
with another part" [Tirmizi]

Segment 1
The Focal Point of Preaching

Section 1 of Chapter 34 [Verse 1-2]: Everything belongs to

Allah

Praise be to God, to Whom belong all things in the Skies and

Lands, to Him be praise in the hereafter, and He is Full of
Wisdom, Acquainted with all things.
He knows all that goes into the earth and all that comes
out thereof, all that comes down from the sky, and all that
ascends thereto, and He is the Most Merciful, the Oft-
Forgiving.

Section 2 of Chapter 34 [Verse 3-5]: The Hour is Coming

The Unbelievers say, "Never to us will come the Hour".

Say, "Nay! But most surely, by my Lord, it will come
upon you by Him Who knows the unseen; from Whom is not
hidden the least little particle in the Skies or on the Lands.
Nor is there anything less than that or greater but is in the
Record Perspicuous that He may reward those who believe
and work deeds of righteousness—for such is forgiveness and
a sustenance most generous."
But those who strive against Our verses to frustrate
them, for such will be a penalty, a punishment most
humiliating.

151
Section 3 of Chapter 34 [Verse 6-9]: A Truth from Lord

And those who have been given knowledge see that which is
sent down to thee from thy Lord is the Truth, and that it
guides to the Path of the Exalted in Might, Worthy of all
Praise.
The Unbelievers say: "Shall we point out to you a man
that will tell you: when you are fully disintegrated into dust
with full dispersion, then you shall be created anew? Has he
invented a falsehood against God, or has a spirit (seized)
him?"
Nay, it is those who believe not in the hereafter that are in
penalty and in the farthest error.
See they not what is before them and behind them of the
Sky and Earth? If We wished, We could cause the Earth to
swallow them up, or let fall upon them fragments from the
Sky. Verily, in this is a sign for every devotee that turns to
God.

Remarks:

In the Quran, 'Skies and Lands' (Samawaat wal Ard)

always refers to the 'Universe.' The term 'Skies'
(Samawaat) also signifies the 'Universe.' However, the
meaning of the singular 'Sky' varies. It may refer to the
'single-sky universe of the preceding cycle,' or the 'near
space of the Earth,' or the 'Super Space,' which is the
space beyond the Universe.
In the above verses, 'Sky' refers to the 'near space of
the Earth,' while 'fragments from the sky' refer to
'asteroids.'

152
 The verses invite us to explore the history of the solar
system, as they state: ―See they not what is before them
and behind them of the Sky and Earth?‖
The subsequent verses connect the matter to the
stability of the land and safety from asteroids: ―If We
wished, We could cause the Earth to swallow them up, or
let fall upon them fragments from the sky.‖
There are many asteroids in the Solar System, but
Earth's orbit remains clear. Most asteroids are
concentrated in a circumstellar disc known as the
Asteroid Belt, located roughly between the orbits of Mars
and Jupiter.

FIGURE 34.1: Asteroid Belt

153
 In the early Solar System, there were a vast number of
asteroids. Many combined to form planets, while the
remaining accumulated in the Asteroid Belt and beyond.
Today, Earth's orbit is clear, and it remains clean thanks
to planets like Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, which pull stray
asteroids toward themselves.
During its formation, Earth captured certain short-
lived radioactive elements, which caused significant
melting of its interior. As a result, liquid iron settled into
the core, while lighter compounds rose to form the mantle
and the primitive crust.

FIGURE 34.2: Earth‘s Interior

The inner core is solid iron, while the outer core is

primarily liquid iron. The temperature of the core reaches
approximately 4,000 degrees Celsius.
Thus, Earth is an active planet due to heat from its
interior, which produces convection currents in the
mantle. Driven by these currents, its continents move
continuously, albeit at a very slow rate. This process also
causes earthquakes and sustains high mountain ranges.
Given these activities, Earth's surface should be full of
cracks and sinkholes; yet, such features are relatively few.
154
 FIGURE 34.3: A Massive Crack

So, the verses under discussion state: ―See they not

what is before them and behind them of the Sky and
Earth? If We wished, We could cause the Earth to
swallow them up, or let fall upon them fragments from the
sky.‖

Segment-2
Easy Come Easy Go

Section 4 of Chapter 34 [Verse 10-14]: David and Solomon

We bestowed grace aforetime on David from Ourselves: "O

ye Mountains! Sing ye back the praises of God with him, and
ye birds!" And We made the iron soft for him: "Make thou
coat of mail balancing well the rings of chain armor, and
work ye righteousness; for be sure I see all that ye do."

Remarks:

The Iron Age began between 1200 and 1000 BCE. It is

likely that David or his men invented the technology of
smelting iron ore. David reigned from 1062 to 1022 BCE.
155
 The extraction of iron from oxidized ores is more
difficult than that of tin and copper. Iron smelting
requires hot-working and can only be done in a specially
designed furnace. Therefore, the Copper Age began
before the Iron Age.

And to Solomon the Wind—its early morning was a

month's (journey), and its evening was a month's (journey);
and We made a font of molten brass to flow for him, and
there were Jinns that worked in front of him by the leave of
his Lord, and if any of them turned aside from our command,
We made him taste of the penalty of the Blazing Fire.
They worked for him as he desired, (making) arches,
images, basons as large as reservoirs, and cauldrons fixed:
"Work ye, sons of David, with thanks! But few of My
servants are grateful!"
Then, when We decreed death, nothing showed them his
(Solomon‘s) death except a little worm of the earth, which
kept gnawing away at his staff. So, when he fell down, the
Jinns saw plainly that if they had known the unseen, they
would not have tarried in the humiliating penalty.

Remarks:

Solomon was probably not interested in iron. He focused

on using molten brass, as the verses suggest: ―and We
made a font of molten brass to flow for him…‖
The first known use of bronze (a copper and tin alloy)
dates to about 3500 BCE, while brass (a copper and zinc
alloy) appeared around the time of Solomon, circa 950
BCE. It is likely that the discovery of brass occurred
during his era.
156
 His knowledge developed in understanding and
controlling both animals and jinn.
He could fly 'a journey of two months' in a single day,
as the verses state: ―its early morning was a month's
(journey), and its evening was a month's (journey).‖ In
ancient times, a man could travel about 25 miles per day
by camel caravan. Over two months, this would amount
to 1,500 miles. Therefore, Solomon could have flown
1,500 miles in a single day, implying a speed of 125
miles per hour, which is the cruising speed of a
helicopter. It is likely that the machine he used to fly,
propelled by violent winds, resembled a helicopter.
However, it does not seem that he invented an engine.
It is more likely that he harnessed the wind using devices
connected to the jinn.

Section 5 of Chapter 34 [Verse 15-21]: Saba became a Tale

There was for Saba aforetime a sign in their homeland, two

gardens, to the right and to the left. Eat of the sustenance by
your Lord and be grateful to Him—a territory fair and happy
and a Lord Oft-Forgiving!
But they turned away and We sent against them the flood
from the dams, and We converted their two garden into
gardens producing bitter fruit and tamarisks, and some few
lote-trees. That was the requital We gave them because they
ungratefully rejected Faith, and never do We give requital
except to such as are ungrateful rejecters.
Between them and the cities on which We had poured our
blessings, We had placed towns in prominent positions, and
between them We had appointed stages of journey in due
proportion: "Travel therein, secure by night and by day."
157
 But they said: "Our Lord place longer distances between
our journey-stages;" but they wronged themselves. At length,
We made them as a tale, and We dispersed them all in
scattered fragments. Verily, in this are signs for every
patiently constant and grateful.
And on them did Satan prove true his idea, and they
followed him, all but a party that believed. But he had no
authority over them, except that We might test the man who
believes in the hereafter from him who is in doubt concerning
it; and thy Lord does watch over all things.

Remarks:

Saba was a kingdom in Southern Arabia. The ancient

South Arabian civilizations are famous for constructing
large dams, including the Dam of Marib, the Dam of
Jufaynah, the Dam of Khaarid, the Dam of Miqraan, and
the Dam of Yath'an, among others.
Most people believe that the verses refer to the Great
Dam of Ma'rib, located in Yemen. This dam was situated
downstream from the present-day Marib Dam.

FIGURE 34.2: Current Marib Dam, Yemen

158
 The ancient city of Ma'rib served as the capital of the
Kingdom of Saba.
The Surah mentions Saba after the story of Solomon,
who married Bilqis, the Queen of Sheba. Many, including
the Israelites, believed Bilqis to be an Ethiopian queen.
However, archaeologists now agree that her kingdom was
located in Southern Arabia.
It is likely that the people of Saba accepted the Truth
after their queen (Bilqis) surrendered to Solomon.
Solomon did not need to struggle to convert them. It is
also possible that Solomon constructed the ancient Marib
Dam after marrying Bilqis.
Their city was situated on higher ground and
connected the cultivated lands via a route lined with small
townships and journey stages.
It is likely that they modified the dam and/or related
structure(s) to shorten the distances between the journey
stages, as the verses suggest: But they said: "Our Lord
place longer distances between our journey-stages…"
Moreover, they rejected the Faith, as the verses
indicate: ―…the requital We gave them because they
ungratefully rejected Faith.‖
It is likely that the dam broke, causing sand and
rubble to flow into the agricultural land along with the
water. As a result, the fertile land was buried under sand,
where only bitter plants, such as tamarisks and lote trees,
could thrive.
Tamarisk plants have long taproots that enable them
to access deep water.

159
 FIGURE 34.3: A Tamarisks plant

After losing the fertile land, the people dispersed into

scattered fragments.

Preaching by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)—a Path of
Struggle

Section 6 of Chapter 34 [Verse 22-30]: Generate Thought

Say: ―Call upon other whom you assert besides God; they
have no power; they possess not even a particle‘s weight
either in the Skies or in the Land. No share have they therein,
nor is any of them a helper to God.‖
No intercession can avail in His presence, except for
those for whom He has granted permission. So far that when
terror is removed from their hearts (on the Day of Judgment)
they will say, ―What is it that your Lord commanded?‖ They
will say, ―That which is true and just. And He is the Most
High, Most Great.‖
Say: ―Who gives you sustenance from the Skies and
Lands?‖

160
 Say: ―It is God. And certain it is that either we or you are
on the right guidance or in the manifest error!‖
Say: ―Ye shall not be questioned as to our sins, nor shall
we be questioned as to what you do.‖
Say: ―Our Lord will gather us together and will in the end
decide the matter between us in truth and justice, and He is
the one to decide, the One Who knows all.‖
Say: ―Show me those whom you have joined with Him as
partners—by no means (you can). Nay, He is God, the
Exalted in Power, the Wise.‖
We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to
men, giving them glad tidings and warning them, but most
men understand not. They say: ―When will this promise
(come) if you are telling the truth?‖
Say: ―The appointment to you is for a Day, which you
cannot put back for an hour, nor put forward.‖

Section 7 of Chapter 34 [Verse 31-33]: Arrogant Ones

The Unbelievers say, "We shall neither believe in this

scripture nor in that before it."
Could thou but see when the wrongdoers will be made to
stand before their Lord, throwing back the word on one
another! Those who had been despised will say to the
arrogant ones, "Had it not been for you, we should certainly
have been Believers!"
The arrogant ones will say to those who had been
despised, ―Was it we who kept you back from Guidance after
it reached you? Nay, rather it was you who transgressed.‖
Those who had been despised will say to the arrogant
ones, "Nay! It was a plot by day and by night. Behold! You

161
ordered us to be ungrateful to God and to attribute equals to
Him!"
They will declare repentance when they see the penalty.
We shall put yokes on the necks of the Unbelievers. It would
only be a requital for their deeds.

Section 8 of Chapter 34 [Verse 34-39]: Wealthy Ones

Never did We send a Warner to a population but the wealthy

ones among them said: ―We believe not in that with which
you have been sent.‖
They said: ―We have more in wealth and in sons, and we
cannot be punished.‖
Say: ―Verily, my Lord enlarges and restricts the provision
to whom He pleases, but most men understand not.‖
It is not your wealth nor your sons that will bring you
nearer to Us in degree, but only those who believe and work
righteousness. These are the ones for whom there is a
multiplied reward for their deeds, while secure they in the
dwellings on the high!
Those who strive against Our verses to frustrate them will
be given over into punishment.
Say: "Verily, my Lord enlarges and restricts the
sustenance to such of his servants as He pleases, and nothing
do you spend in the least but He replaces it; for He is the best
of those who grant sustenance.‖

Section 9 of Chapter 34 [Verse 40-42]: In search of their

god

One Day He will gather them all together and say to the
angels: ―Was it you that these men used to worship?‖
162
 They will say: ―Glory to Thee! Our (tie) is with Thee as
Protector, not with them. Nay, but they worshipped the jinns;
most of them believed in them.‖
So, on that Day, no power shall they have over each other
for profit or harm, and We shall say to the wrong-doers:
―Taste ye the penalty of the fire, the which ye were wont to
deny!‖

Section 10 of Chapter 34 [Verse 43-54]: Warner in the

Face of a Terrible Penalty

When Our clear verses are rehearsed to them, they say: "This
is only a man who wishes to hinder you from that which your
fathers practised." And they say: "This is only a falsehood
invented!" And the Unbelievers say of the Truth when it
comes to them: "This is nothing but evident magic!"
But We had not given them Books, which they could
study, nor sent apostles to them before thee as Warners. And
their predecessors rejected—these have not received a tenth
of what We had granted to those; yet when they rejected My
apostles, how was My rejection!
Say: ―I do admonish you on one point that you do stand
up before God in pairs or singly and reflect.‖ Your
Companion is not possessed. He is no less than a Warner to
you in face of a Terrible Penalty.
Say: ―No reward do I ask of you; it is in your interest. My
reward is only due from God. And He is witness to all
things.‖
Say: ―Verily my Lord does cast the Truth. He that has full
knowledge of that is hidden.‖
Say: ―The Truth has arrived. And Falsehood neither
creates anything new, nor restores anything.‖
163
 Say: ―If I am astray, I only stray to the loss of my own
soul; but if I receive guidance, it is because of the inspiration
of my Lord to me; it is He Who hears all things and is near.‖
If thou could but see when they will quake with terror,
but then there will be no escape, and they will be seized from
a position near, and they will say, "We do believe in the
(Truth)." But how could they receive from a position seeing
that they did reject Faith before, and that they cast on the
unseen from a position far off, and between them and their
desires is placed a barrier, as was done in the past with their
partisans; for they were indeed in suspicious doubt.

Remarks:

After the Judgment, the sinners will be left on the Land of

Judgment, located in the Super Space. The rolled up
(collapsed) universe will be unrolling in the same Super
Space. Eventually, the sinners will be engulfed by the
reviving galaxies of the unrolling universe. The galaxies
are objects of hell. So, they will be seized from a position
near.
How could they be salvaged to Jannaat when they had
rejected the Truth and dismissed the Unseen while on
Earth, a position far off in time and space! And between
them (on the Land of Judgment) and their desires
(Jannaat / another universe) lies an impassable barrier
(Barzakh).

Praise be to God Who created the Skies and Lands

(Universe), Who made the angels messengers with wings,
165
two, or three, or four. He adds to creation as He pleases; for
God has power over all things.
What God out of his mercy does bestow on mankind
there is none can withhold; what He does withhold there is
none can grant apart from Him; and He is the Exalted in
Power, full of Wisdom.

Section 2 of Chapter 35 [Verse 3-8]: Verily, Satan is an

enemy to Humans

O men! Call to mind the grace of God unto you! Is there a

creator other than God to give you sustenance from sky or
earth? There is no god but He; how then are ye deluded away
from the Truth? And if they reject thee, so were apostles
rejected before thee; to God returns all affairs for decision.
O men! Certainly, the promise of God is true. Let not
then this present life deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver
deceive you about God. Verily, Satan is an enemy to you, so
treat him as an enemy. He only invites his adherents that they
may become companions of the Blazing Fire.
For those who reject God is a Terrible Penalty, but for
those who believe and work righteous deeds is Forgiveness
and a Magnificent Reward.
Is he then to whom the evil of his conduct is made
alluring so that he looks upon it as good—for God leaves to
stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. So, let not
thy soul go out in sighing after them; for God knows well all
that they do!

the scorching summer completely dry out, with all
protoplasmic activity ceasing. Theoretically, they are
lifeless. However, when rain arrives, they absorb water,
revive, and begin to grow.
If plants can grow on the land, why can't humans,
with similar cells, do the same when Allah will provide
the necessary support?
The double-helix DNA molecules can survive in the
land for hundreds of thousands of years. It is the blueprint
of life. A human will be re-created with the same set of
DNA molecules (46) he had on Earth. These molecules
will form his primary cell, enabling him to grow on the
land within the framework and drive of his nafs (soul).
Just as a plant grows from the soil, a human will grow
without the need for a mother's womb.

If any do seek for glory and power—to God belong all

glory and power, to Him mount up words of purity; it is He
Who exalts each deed of righteousness. Those that lay plots
of evil, for them is a penalty terrible, and the plotting of such
will be void.

167
 And God did create you from zygote (turabin / well-
matched deposit / zygote), then from the blastocyst (nutfatin /
drop / blastocyst).
Then He made (for) you Pairs (azwajan / double helix
DNA molecules). And no female conceives or lays down (by
miscarriage as well) but with His knowledge. Nor is a man
long-lived granted length of days nor is a part cut off from his
life but is in a decree. All this is easy to God.

Remarks:

The verses in the above paragraph state, "Then He made

(for) you pairs…" Here, "pairs" refers to the "double-
helix DNA molecules of haploid chromosomes" carried
by sperm and ovum. The 23 haploid chromosomes from a
sperm and 23 haploid chromosomes from an ovum fuse
to form a zygote containing 23 pairs of diploid
chromosomes. This zygote, with its 46 double-helix DNA
molecules, serves as the blueprint for the human's
formation and determines the length of their life.

Note:

Each haploid chromosome carries one double helix

DNA molecule.

If the matching of DNA molecules is not correct

during the fusion of sperm and ovum, the zygote may fail
to develop into a healthy baby. This often results in a
miscarriage (spontaneous abortion), as the body naturally
terminates pregnancies where significant genetic
abnormalities prevent proper development.
168
 FIGURE 35.1: Fusion of DNA Molecules

More than 50 percent of pregnancies end by the

eighth week, before women are aware of their
pregnancies. But this cannot happen without the
knowledge of Allah, as subsequent part of the verses say:
―And no female conceives or lays down (by miscarriage
also), but with His knowledge…‖
The human body is so advanced that it is capable of
living forever. It can fight against all diseases, has highly
developed metabolic and physical systems, renews cells,
and repairs organs. It could even regenerate a lost limb.
However, gene expression leads to aging and ultimately
causes death through genetic diseases, such as diabetes,
high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid problems, and
so on. God sets the genome code during conception with
a specific age limit, as the verses ultimately say: nor is a
man long-lived granted length of days, nor is a part cut
off from his life, but is in a decree.

169
 Note:

The time of death is also influenced by other fate-

related factors, such as disaster, accident, war, and so
on. It may not coincide with the age limit set in the
genome code—everything happens according to His
plan.

Nor are alike the two seas—one weighed down

Euphrates, agreeable is its drink (by sea creatures) and the
other salty and bitter, yet from each do ye eat flesh, fresh and
tender, and ye extract ornaments to wear; and thou see the
ships therein that plough the waves that ye may seek of the
Bounty of God; that ye may be grateful.
He merges night into day, and He merges day into night,
and He has subjected the sun and the moon; each one run its
course for a term appointed. Such is God your Lord; to Him
belongs all dominion. And those whom ye invoke besides
Him have not the least power. If ye invoke them, they will
not listen to your call; and if they were to listen, they cannot
answer your (call). On the Day of Judgment, they will reject
your "Partnership". And none can tell thee like the One Who
is acquainted with all things.

Section 4 of Chapter 35 [Verse 15-26]: How can you make

the Dead to Hear!

O ye men! It is ye that have need of God, but God is the One,

Free of all Wants, Worthy of all Praises. If He so pleased, He
could blot you out and bring in a new creation—not that
difficult for God.

170
 Nor can a bearer of burdens bear another's burdens; if one
heavily laden should call another to his load, not the least
portion of it can be carried, even though he be nearly related.
Thou can but admonish such as fear their Lord unseen
and establish salat. And whoever purifies himself does so for
the benefit of his own soul, and the destination is to God.
The blind and the seeing are not alike, nor are the depths
of darkness and the light, nor are the shade and the heat of the
sun, nor are alike those that are living and those that are dead.
God can make any that He wills to hear, but thou cannot
make those to hear who are in graves. Thou are no other than
a Warner. Indeed, We have sent you with the truth as a
bringer of good tidings and a Warner. And there was no
nation but that there had passed within it a Warner.
And if they reject thee, so did their predecessors to whom
came their apostles with clear signs, books of dark
prophecies, and the book of enlightenment. In the end, did I
punish those who rejected Faith; and how was My rejection!

Section 5 of Chapter 35 [Verse 27-31]: Not the Black, not

the White—that fears God has Knowledge

See thou not that God sends down rain from the sky? With it
We then bring out produces of various colors. And in the
mountains are tracts white and red of various shades of color,
and black intense in hue, and so amongst men and crawling
creatures and cattle—they are of various colors: those truly
fear God among His servants who have knowledge; for God
is Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving.
Those who rehearse the Book of God, establish salat, and
spend out of what We have provided for them secretly and
openly may hope for a commerce that will never fail; for He
171
will pay them their recompense, nay, He will give them more
out of His bounty—for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to
Appreciate.
That which We have revealed to thee of the Book is the
Truth confirming what was before it; for God is assuredly
regarding His servants Well Acquainted and Fully Observant.

Section 6 of Chapter 35 [Verse 32-37]: The Success and the

Failure

Then We have given the Book for inheritance to such of Our

servants as We have chosen, but there are among them some
who wrong their own souls, some who follow a middle
course, and some who are by God's leave foremost in good
deeds—that is the highest Grace; in Jannaatu-Adni will they
enter; therein will they be adorned with bracelets of gold and
pearls, and their garments there will be of silk. And they will
say: "Praise be to God Who has removed from us sorrow; for
our Lord is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Ready to Appreciate, Who
has out of His bounty settled us in a home that will last; no
toil, nor sense of weariness shall touch us therein."
But those who reject, for them will be the fire of hell; no
term shall be determined for them so they should die, nor
shall its penalty be lightened for them. Thus, do We reward
every ungrateful one! Therein will they cry aloud: "Our Lord!
Bring us out; we shall work righteousness; not the (deeds) we
used to do!"
Did We not give you long enough life so that he that
would should receive admonition? And the Warner came to
you. So, taste ye; for the wrong-doers, there is no helper."

172
Section 7 of Chapter 35 [Verse 38-45]: Conclusion

Verily, God knows the hidden things of the Skies and Lands.
Verily, He has full knowledge of all that is in hearts. It is He
who has made you successors upon the Earth. And whoever
disbelieves, upon him will be his disbelief—and the disbelief
of the disbelievers does not increase them in the sight of their
Lord except in hatred, and the disbelief of the disbelievers
does not increase them except in loss.
Say: "Have ye seen 'Partners' of yours whom ye call
upon besides God? Show Me what it is they have created in
the Lands. Or have they a share in the Skies? Or have We
given them a Book from which they clear? Nay, the
wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusions. It is
God Who sustains the Skies and Lands lest they cease, and if
they should fail, there is none, not one, can sustain them
thereafter. Verily, He is Most Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.

Remarks:

The universe is created and governed as a unified whole

by a single Creator. There is no room for another Creator,
Sustainer, and Evolver.
―The primordial fireball contained the reactions
which led to the present distribution of hydrogen and
helium 75% and 25% respectively a balance that explains
the evolution of stars. Very small changes in the nature of
the primordial fireball would have had an immense effect
on the universe. If certain atomic forces had been only
slightly greater, then all the hydrogen would have
become an isotope of helium and no long-lived stars
could exist as they do at present. They would have been
173
explosive. Stars would have formed but they would have
used up all their energy in a very short time. There would
have been no star like the sun, which gives an output of
energy for thousands of millions of years. It is only with
the stability on this time scale the life can evolve. If things
had been just a little bit different at the beginning,
therefore, there could have been no life, and the universe
would be unknowable‖

―These things are to me immensely strange. Is it not
extraordinary that the possibility of talking here this
afternoon depends on events which were very narrowly
determined over 10,000 million years ago in the very
earliest moments of the universe?‖
– Dawn of a New Era by Sir Bernard Lovell in The
Encyclopedia of Space Travel and Astronomy edited by

In this vast universe, operating on a single time-scale,
nobody has the ability to interfere. An apple requires a
specific tree to grow, and the tree needs a specific Earth
and Sun to thrive. The Earth and Sun themselves needed
a particular galaxy to form. The galaxy, in turn, required
a specific Big Bang to come into existence. The Big Bang
was a singular event, and it could only have been initiated
by a single Creator, Sustainer, and Evolver.
Allah planned the future of the universe. He designed
its initial configuration and natural laws. He determined
the path of everything. Nothing stands out of His time-
scale.

174
 ―Say: ―Of your ‗partners‘, can any originate
creation and repeat it?‖ Say: ―It is Allah Who
originates creation and repeats it. Then how are ye
deluded Away‖‖ [Al Quran 10:34]

Return to the Creator who is capable of creating such

a vast universe. Can anyone create even an atom and
place it into the universe? Would it align and function
properly?
He creates, sustains, and evolves the universe; He has
no partner.
So, the verses under discussion say: ―Say, ―Have ye
seen ‗partners‘ of yours whom ye call upon besides
Allah? Show me what it is they have created in the land.
Or have they a share in the Skies (universe)? Or have We
given them a book from which they clear? Nay the
wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusions. It
is Allah who sustains the ‗Skies and Lands‘ (universe)
lest they cease, and if they should fail, there is none, not
one, can sustain them thereafter. Verily, He is most
Forbearing, oft-Forgiving.‖
We have not seen Him, nor can we imagine Him, but
He exists. We come and pass away with the hope of
resurrection, for He exists forever and never forgets.

They swore their strongest oaths by God that if a Warner

came to them, they would follow his guidance better than any
of the peoples; but when a Warner came to them, it has only
increased their flight.
On account of their arrogance in the land and their
plotting of evil—but the plotting of Evil will hem in only the
authors thereof—now they are but looking for the way the
175
ancients were dealt with. But no change will thou find in
God's way—no turning off will thou find in God's way.
Do they not travel through the earth and see what the end
of those before them was, though they were superior to them
in strength? Nor is God to be frustrated by anything whatever
in the Skies and Lands; for He is All-Knowing, All-Powerful.
If God were to punish men according to what they
deserve, He would not leave on the back of the (earth) a
single living creature, but He gives them respite for a stated
Term—when their Term expires!
Verily, God has in His sight all His servants.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 36 [Verse 1-12]: Admonish People
that follow the Message and fear God

Ya, Sin. By the Qur'an, full of Wisdom, thou art indeed one
of the apostles on a Straight Way.
It is a Revelation sent down by the Exalted in Might,
Most Merciful in order that thou may admonish a people
whose fathers had received no admonition, and who therefore
remain heedless.
The word is proved true against the greater part of them;
for they do not believe. We have put yokes round their necks
177
right up to their chins so that their heads are forced up. And
We have put a bar in front of them and a bar behind them,
and further We have covered them up so that they cannot see.
The same is it to them whether thou admonish them, or thou
do not admonish them; they will not believe.
Thou can but admonish such a one as follows the
Message and fears the Most Gracious, unseen. Give such a
one, therefore, good tidings of Forgiveness and a Reward
most generous.
Verily, We shall give life to the dead, and We record that
which they send before, and that which they leave behind;
and of all things have We taken account in a clear Book.

Section 2 of Chapter 36 [Verse 13-30]: Companions of the

City

Set forth to them by way of a parable the Companions of the

City. Behold! There came apostles to it. When We sent to
them two apostles, they rejected them. But We strengthened
them with a third. They said: "Truly, we have been sent on a
mission to you."
The (people) said: "Ye are only men like ourselves, and
Most Gracious sends no sort of revelation; ye do nothing but
lie."
They said: "Our Lord does know that we have been sent
on a mission to you, and our duty is only to proclaim the
clear Message."
The (people) said: ―For us, we augur an evil omen from
you. If ye desist not, we will certainly stone you. And a
grievous punishment indeed will be inflicted on you by us.‖

178
 They said: ―Your evil omens are with yourselves. Is it
because you are admonished? Nay, you are a people
transgressing!‖
Then there came running from the farthest part of the city
a man, saying: "O my people! Obey the apostles; obey those
who ask no reward of you, and who have themselves
received Guidance. It would not be reasonable in me if I did
not serve Him Who created me, and to Whom you shall be
brought back. Shall I take gods besides Him? If Most
Gracious should intend some adversity for me, of no use
whatever will be their intercession for me, nor can they
deliver me. I would indeed, if I were to do so, be in manifest
error. For me, I have faith in the Lord of you; listen then to
me!"
It was said: "Enter thou the Jannaat."
He said: "Ah me! Would that my People knew! For that
my Lord has granted me Forgiveness and has enrolled me
among those held in honor!"
And We sent not down against his People after him any
hosts from sky, nor was it needful for Us so to do. It was no
more than a single mighty Blast, and behold, they were
quenched and silent.
Ah! Alas for servants! There comes not an apostle to
them but they mock him!

Remarks

Some opine that the two messengers were John and

Barnabas, and the third was Paul, who preached together
in Antioch for about a year.
Probably, they were trapped in a hostile part of the
city when a follower came running from another part of
179
the city to save them. The people killed the follower, but
the messengers managed to escape.
Antioch was located on the eastern side of the
Orontes River and was a major city of ancient Greece.
Today, its ruins lie near the city of Antakya in Turkey.
History suggests that Antioch was abandoned due to
repeated earthquakes and changes in trade routes. It is
possible that parts of the city were destroyed by an
earthquake at the time they killed the follower. However,
the verses state that the people were silenced and
quenched: "It was no more than a single mighty Blast,
and behold, they were quenched and silent." The 'mighty
blast' may not necessarily refer to an 'earthquake'; it could
also signify a 'mighty sound' that killed the people.
We do not know John, Barnabas, and Paul as
prophets. According to Paul‘s account, angels guided him
to preach the religion in the West. If angels guided him,
he may be considered a 'prophet without a divine book
(Nabi).'
The Book of Acts states that after a year, they
returned from Antioch with great success. How did they
achieve such success in such a short time? Something
significant must have happened—perhaps the death of the
people who killed the follower.

Note:

Modern Christianity has widely deviated and is

divided into many sects over its basic concepts.

180
Section 3 of Chapter 36 [Verse 31-44]: The Signs

See they not how many generations before them we

destroyed! Not to them will they return, but each one of
them, all, will be brought before Us.
A sign for them is the earth that is dead. We do give it life
and produce grain there-from, of which you do eat. And We
produce therein orchard with date-palms, and vines, and We
cause springs to gush forth therein that they may enjoy the
fruits of this. It was not their hands that made this; will they
not then give thanks?
Glory to God Who created all things that the earth
produces, as well as their own kind, and things of which they
have no knowledge from Pairs (Double Helix DNA
Molecules).

Remarks:

The verse in the last paragraph states that all living

creatures on Earth are created from Pairs. But, many
living creatures, such as amoeba and bacteria, do not have
distinct sexual categories. Therefore, in this verse, the
word 'pairs' does not refer to 'pairs of males and females';
rather, it refers to the 'double helix DNA molecule' that
produces all living creatures, including humans. The
Quran mentions the concept of pairs multiple times; I
have discussed these verses in detail in Section 3 of
Chapter 31.
However, a virus does not have a double helix
structure in its DNA. This is also clarified in the verse
above by the words 'all things that the earth produces.' A
virus is not produced by the Earth; it is produced only
181
within living creatures (hosts). While a virus can exist
outside a host for some time, it requires a host to
replicate. Furthermore, the verse is referring to living
creatures, whereas a virus is considered non-living.

FIGURE 36.1: DNA Double Helix (Pairs)

The above verses compare the growth of plants with

the resurrection of mankind. The functions of 98% of
DNA are not yet known. It may be possible that a set of
double helix DNA molecules can produce a cell if the
proper substances are supplied. According to the Hadith,

182
 these substances will be rained down on the Day of
Resurrection.
Thus, a set of double helix DNA molecules (46 for a
human) will form a cell. This cell will be attached to the
nafs (soul), and the body will grow on the land with the
supplied substances.
DNA molecules can survive in nature for hundreds of
thousands of years. There are trillions of DNA molecules
in the human body. In the environment of resurrection,
many DNA molecules will produce cells and multiply.
These cells will form lumps of flesh. Just as a cell
multiplied in a test tube forms a lump of flesh; it does not
create a complete physique. Only the cells that will be
attached to the nafses (souls) will form the bodies.
The environment of resurrection will eventually end,
and the lumps of flesh will rot. These will produce pus,
which the hungry dwellers of Hell will consume.

And a sign for them is the night. We withdraw there-from

the day, and behold, they are plunged in darkness.

Remarks:

Energy cannot be destroyed. Scientists calculate that if

the universe were static (neither expanding nor
contracting), the light emitted by stars would make the
sky immensely bright. On Earth, this would result in light
being forty thousand times brighter than the sun at noon.
The universe is dark because the space is expanding.
Thus, when the day is withdrawn due to the Earth‘s
rotation, we are plunged into darkness. [This relates to

183
 Olber‘s Paradox, as discussed in Section-4 of Chapter-
21.]

And the sun runs his course for a period determined for
him. That is the decree of the Exalted in Might, the All-
Knowing.
And the Moon, We have measured for her phases till she
returns like the old lower part of a date-stalk.

Remarks:

The shapes of the lit portions of the Moon, which are seen
from Earth, are known as the Phases of Moon. Each
phase repeats itself every 29.5 days. There are 8 major
phases:

FIGURE 36.2: Phases of the Moon

184
 It is not permitted to the sun to catch up the moon, nor
can the night outstrip the day, but all in a galaxy (falakin / a
domain of space / a ship / a space ship / a galaxy) they are
floating.

Remarks:

Is the Sun supposed to catch up with the Moon, as the

above verse says: "It is not permitted to the sun to catch
up the moon?"
The Moon had to be big enough so that it could
produce proper crescent shapes, and a person could
understand the date by seeing its shape. The size of the
Moon is one-fourth (27%) of the size of the Earth in
diameter.
In addition, the distance between the Earth and the
Moon is precisely determined to ensure that the Moon
illuminates the Earth as intended. Many nocturnal
animals are active at night and rest during the day.
The Moon‘s proper proximity to the Earth also
generates the appropriate tides.
The challenge lies in the fact that the Earth needed to
be reasonably close to the Sun to receive proper
illumination. And, it (Sun) is 332,946 times more massive
than the Earth, making its gravitational pull on the Moon
significantly stronger than the Earth's. For this reason, the
Sun should have pulled the Moon away from the Earth
and turned it into a planet of its own.
How is this issue resolved?
The problem is resolved by reducing the mass of the
Moon while maintaining its appropriate size. The Moon‘s
185
mass is only one eighty-first (1/81) of the Earth‘s mass.
As a result, the center of gravity (CG) of the Earth-Moon
system is located within the Earth, approximately a
thousand miles below its surface. This positioning causes
the Sun's gravitational force to act on the Moon
indirectly, through the Earth.
If the Moon‘s mass were greater, the center of gravity
(CG) of the Earth-Moon system would shift farther away
from the Earth. In such a scenario, the Earth and the
Moon would rotate around this shifted CG. Over time, the
Moon could escape its orbit around the Earth and become
a planet of the Sun.
The Moon generates tides through its gravitational
force, so its mass could not be reduced excessively.
Therefore, the sizes, masses, and distances of the Sun,
Earth, and Moon are precisely balanced by Allah.
The verses finally state: "…but all are in a falakin
they are floating." The term 'falakin' can mean 'ship,' or
'space,' or a 'domain of space,' but it is commonly
translated as 'orbit' in this verse. Using 'domain of space'
is more appropriate because it indicates 'Milky Way
Galaxy' where the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are
floating.

FIGURE 36.3: A Ship Floating (Galaxy, NGC 5033)

186
 The galaxy, carrying its stars and planets, is moving
toward the Great Attractor at a speed of 200 million
kilometers per hour.

And a sign for them is that We bore their race in the

loaded Ark, and We have created for them similar (vessels)
on which they ride. If it were Our will, We could drown
them, then would there be no helper, nor could they be
delivered, except by way of mercy from Us, and by way of
convenience for a time.

Remarks:

The preceding verses indicate that masses and distances

of Sun, Earth, and Moon are precisely balanced. These
balanced masses and distances play crucial roles in
generating proper tides in the oceans.
The Sun is twenty-seven million times more massive
than the Moon, but it is 390 times farther away than the
Earth from the Moon. As a result, the Sun‘s tidal force is
about half (46%) of that exerted by the Moon. Therefore,
the Moon‘s gravitational force is the dominant factor in
influencing the tides and the currents they produce.
The verses mention the movement of ships on the
oceans. If the tides were improper, the oceans would
become turbulent with powerful currents, making travel
at sea risky!
The verses refer to the boat of Noah, suggesting that
Noah‘s flood was also related to the tides. In Section-10
of Chapter-7, we discussed how a higher tide in the
Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas could have opened the
Bosporus, flooding the region around the Black Sea and
187
 Caspian Sea, where the People of Noah lived. This
flooding was further supplemented by persistent rainfall,
and likely by fountains from a melting ice cap.

Section 4 of Chapter 36 [Verse 45-68]: Reward and

Punishment

When they are told, "Guard against what is before you and
what will be after you in order that ye may receive mercy."
Not a verse comes to them from among the verses of their
Lord but they turn away there-from.
And when they are told, "Spend ye of with which God
has provided you," the Unbelievers say to those who believe,
"Shall we then feed those whom, if God had so willed, He
would have fed; ye are in nothing but manifest error."
Further they say, "When will this promise if what ye say
is true?"
They will not wait for aught but a single blast; it will
seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves!
And they will not be able (to give) any instruction, nor to
their people can they return! The trumpet shall be sounded,
when behold, from the sepulchers (men) will rush forth to
their Lord! They will say, "Ah! Woe unto us! Who has raised
us up from our beds of repose?‖
This is what Most Gracious had promised. And true was
the word of the apostles!
It will be no more than a single blast, when lo, they will
all be brought up before Us! Then, on that Day not a soul will
be wronged in the least, and ye shall but be repaid the meeds
of your past deeds. Verily, the companions of the Jannaat
shall that Day have joy in all that they do. They and their
associates will be in groves of shade reclining on thrones.
188
Fruit will be there for them. They shall have whatever they
call for—Peace—a word from a Lord Most Merciful!
And O ye in sin! Get ye apart this Day! Did I not enjoin
on you, O ye Children of Adam, that ye should not worship
Satan, for that he was to you an enemy avowed, and that ye
should worship Me—this was the Straight Way. But he did
lead astray a great multitude of you. Did ye not then
understand? This is the hell of which ye were warned!
Embrace ye the (hell) this Day, for that ye rejected."
That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths, but their
hands will speak to us, and their feet bear witness to all that
they did.
If it had been our will, We could have obliterated their
eyes and they would race to the path, but how could they see?
And if it had been Our will, We could have transformed
them in their places, so they would not be able to proceed,
nor could they return.
If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed
in nature; will they not then understand?

Section 5 of Chapter 36 [Verse 69-70]: No less than a

Message

We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet

for him, this is no less than a Message, and a Qur'an making
things clear. That it may give admonition to any alive and
that the charge may be proved against those who reject.

Remarks:

The Quran is not poetry, though it is written in a poetic

style to aid memorization, protect the verses from
189
 unconscious corruption, inspire recurrent recitation, and
touch the hearts. However, it is not poetry in the
traditional sense. It does not use one thing to represent
another, except in certain verses that are meant as
similitude or parables.
Through the verses under discussion, the Quran
encourages us to accept the direct meaning of the text.

Section 6 of Chapter 36 [Verse 71-83]: Be, it is!

See they not that We have created for them, from what our
hands have made, grazing livestock, and they are their
owners. And that We have subjected them to their: of them
some do carry them, and some they eat, and they have profits
from them, and they get to drink—will they not then be
grateful? Yet they take gods other than God that they might
be helped! They have not the power to help them, but they
will be brought up as a troop. Let not their speech then grieve
thee. Verily, We know what they hide as well as what they
disclose.
Does not man see that it is We Who created him from a
nutfatin (drop / blastocyst)? Yet, behold, he (stands forth) as
an open adversary! And he makes comparisons for Us and
forgets his own creation! He says, "Who can give life to
bones and decomposed ones?"
Say: He will give them life Who created them for the first
time, for He is well-versed in every kind of creation! The
same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree when,
behold, ye kindle therewith!

190
 Remarks:

Allah is well-versed in every kind of creation. The plants

are only means that store the energy of the sun through
photosynthesis. It is a unique system.

Is not He Who created the Skies and Lands (the universe)

able to create the like thereof? Yea indeed, for He is the
Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge! Verily, when He
intends a thing His Command is, "Be", and it is! So, glory to
Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things, and to
Him will ye be all brought back.

Remarks:

―Be‖ and it is!

In the above verse, the words "Be,' and it is!" express the
power of Allah in the repetition of creation.
The ability of Allah is always absolute. The following
verse narrates His power of creation at the fundamental
level:

―To Him is due the primal origin of the Skies and

Lands; when He decrees a matter, He says to it:
"Be", and it is.‖ [Al Quran 2:117]

The fundamental sub-atomic particles are sustained

within the force fields of His hands of nafs (it is
deliberately discussed in Chapter-1). When He
commands, these particles instantly move to their
destined points to form the intended object. This is a
191
manifestation of His power in the created universe, where
every inert thing is designed to obey His commands.
He does not normally use the above method in the
creation of higher beings, as seen in the following verse:

―The similitude of Jesus before God is as that of

Adam; He created him from turabin (well-
matched deposit / zygote), then said to him, "Be",
and he was.‖ [Al Quran 3:59]

As mentioned in the above verse, initially Allah created

Adam and then commanded him to 'Be,' because Adam
was a complex creation. It appears from the verse that
Allah first created the zygote of Adam, placed it in a
favorable condition (possibly in a divine test-tube),
provided it with the necessary system of nourishment,
and then commanded, 'Be.' The zygote multiplied and
over the course of time (9 to 10 earthly months)
developed into the body of Adam.
Thus, Adam was created as a child capable of
learning the names. He spent his childhood in Jannaat.
Using the existing process is necessary for a new
creature to align with nature and the universal timescale.
Allah is the Perfect Creator, and He is Ever-Living.

―So, set thou thy face steadily and truly to the

Faith. God's handiwork—according to the pattern
(DNA Code) on which He has made mankind—
no change in the work by God—that is the
established system; but most among mankind
understand not.‖ [Al Quran 30:30]

192
 Primitive Earth was not suitable for complex
creatures, so Allah created a tiny single-celled organism
with double-helix DNA molecules, capable of surviving
and driving the biological evolution.
The primitive creatures made the Earth suitable for
higher creatures. There was no free oxygen in the
atmosphere, and thus no ozone layer to protect the Earth
from harmful ultraviolet radiation. The evolution of life
was going on in the water.
Free oxygen was produced in the air, and the
evolution of land-dwelling creatures began. The
continents drifted, mountains formed, rains and rivers
replenished the groundwater, and fruit-bearing trees
evolved alongside pollinating insects.
When the Earth became suitable, Allah created Adam
separately, but using the same double-helix DNA
molecules (pairs):

―Glory to God, Who created all things that the

earth produces, as well as their own kind, and
things of which they have no knowledge from
Pairs (double helix DNA molecules)‖
[Al Quran 36:36]

His process of making the Earth suitable for Adam is

perceived by us as Evolution.
Why did an omnipotent God adopt a time-consuming
process like evolution? He could have said, 'Be,' and
everything would have been created instantly. So, look
into the verses:

193
 ―It is not befitting to God that He should beget a
son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a
matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.‖
[Al Quran 19:35]

―It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He

decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be", and it
is.‖ [Al Quran 40:68]

The above verses indicate that before commanding 'Be,'

Allah must first determine the object or decide upon the
affair. This implies that He must concentrate and plan the
formation of the object or the occurrence of the affair.
Only then does He issue His command. His mental plan
must be deliberate, otherwise, the object forming or the
affair occurring by the hand of His nafs would not attain
perfection.
However, once something is created, it can be
reproduced easily without the need for a deliberate initial
plan, as mentioned in the verses under discussion:

―Is not He Who created the Skies and Lands

(universe) able to create the like there of? Yea,
indeed—for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill
and knowledge! Verily, when He intends a thing
His command is, 'Be', and it is!"
[Al Quran 36: 81–82]

The universe will collapse and be created again. Its

revival will be easier because space, collapsing like a
written scroll, retains a record of everything.

194
 ―They swear their strongest oaths by God that
God will not raise up those who die. Nay, but it is
a promise on Him in truth—but most among
mankind realize it not—in order that He may
manifest to them the truth of that wherein they
differ, and that the rejecters of Truth may realize
that they had indeed Falsehood. For to anything,
which We have willed, We but say the word,
"Be", and it is. [Al Quran 16: 38–40]

Therefore, Allah can repeat a created thing or enacted

affair with the simple order of 'Be.'
And it does not necessarily mean that once Allah
orders 'Be,' the thing is created instantly. Allah said 'Be,'
but Jesus took about ten months to form in Mary's womb,
and then he was born, as understood from the following
verse:

―She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son

when no man has touched me?" He said: "Even
so; God creates what He wills: When He has
decreed a plan, He but says to it, ―Be,‖ and it is!‖
[Al Quran 3:47]

Therefore, He has power, but He does not use it

abruptly. He plans a creature and then orders its creation.
He does not ordain new natural laws every day in order to
keep the nature simple and stable. He normally uses
existing laws and systems to create new things. So,
evolution becomes necessary in cases of creating the
complex creatures.

Tafsir of the Surah

Segment-1
The Order of the Future Universes

Section 1 of Chapter 37 [Verse1-5]: The Lord Eastern

By those lined in rows and those who drive strongly and

those who recite the Message: ―Verily, verily, your God is
one, Lord of the Skies and Lands and all between them (this
universe), and the Lord Eastern (Eastern Super Space)!‖

Remarks:

Araf, Samawaat, Jannaat, and Barzakh are all contained

within a Super-Space, where the entire Samawaat (this
universe) is located in the East (Eastern Super Space).
This arrangement is visualized in the following figure:

FIGURE 37.1: Arsh and Super-Space

197
 Allah sustains everything from its foundation level.
He has the power to do or undo anything instantly.
However, it does not align with His dignity to use His
direct power against a tiny creature. Instead, He controls
one creature through another mainly when they confront
each other, and governs everything through angelic
system He has created.
[Allah uses His direct power to control the inert
creations of the universe as a whole, as discussed in
Chapter-1.]
The main system for controlling living creatures
consists of the following:
a. The CCU / Central Computer of the Universes:
It is located in the Arsh. It is the Head of a huge
Cybernetic System (see figure above).
b. The Sidratul-Muntaha: The Sidratul-Muntaha is
suspended on the Araf from the Arsh (see figure
above). It is based on a massive Server Computer
and serves as the central hub of the Cybernetic
System.
c. The Araf: It is a land elevated beyond the
universes (Samawaat and Jannaat) and serves as
the primary sanctuary of the angels.
d. The Command Stations: The Command Stations
are special, planet-like astral objects located
within the universe. These serve as terminal
establishments of the Cybernetic System,
providing shelter for the Archangels of the Skies
and the Terminal Server Computers.
e. The Fortresses: These are special star-like astral
objects located near the Command Stations. They
serve as terminal sanctuaries for tasked angels,
198
 who await deployment to their designated job
stations.
f. The Main Channels: The main channels,
descending from the Araf, connect the Command
Stations scattered across the universes and
independent domains, such as Illiyin and Sijjin.
g. Sakinah: From the Command Station of a Sky,
angels and ruhs are sent to their job stations in
small groups by Sakinah. They resemble clouds of
angels, hovering over their designated objects (job
stations).

FIGURE 37.2: Cybernetic System

The Cybernetic System, including the CCU, Sidratul-

Muntaha, Command Stations, Fortresses, and Channels,
controls the living creatures through the angels, according

199
 to the fates confirmed by Allah. This system is discussed
in detail in Section 9 of Chapter 6.
The jinns and their supporting creatures are made of
antimatter. They are the primary residents of the
Samawaat (this universe) and are powerful beings.
Controlling them by angels is a difficult task.
Moreover, one of the jinns served as a chief angel,
known as Azazil (Light Bearer). This name indicates that
he led the angels working for Sidratul-Muntaha.
However, he refused to obey an order from Allah,
resulting in his rejection and fall, after which he was
named Iblis (Satan). He possesses great knowledge and is
now the leader of the satanic jinns. His leadership has
made controlling the rebellious jinns even more difficult.
The jinns are capable of flying through the Skies. The
unruly jinns attempt to invade the Araf through the
channels. They also seek to intrude into the protected
zones of the Skies, such as the Command Stations and
Fortresses. However, the angels, lined in rows, stand
guard against them. Thus, they declare: ―Verily, verily,
your God is one, Lord of the ‗Skies and Lands and all
between them‘ (this universe), and the Lord Eastern!‖

Section 2 of Chapter 37 [Verse 6-10]: Rebellious Jinns

We have indeed decked the Sky of the Earth with the

adornment of stars, and guard against every rebellious Jinn;
they should not strain their ears in the direction of Exalted
Assembly but be cast away from every side, repulsed—for
they are under a perpetual penalty—except such as snatch
away something by theft, and they are pursued by a flaming
fire of piercing brightness.
200
 Remarks:

The ―Exalted Assemblies‖ mentioned in the above verses

are ―Command Stations‖ with server computers
connected to the Sidratul-Muntaha. There are seven
Command Stations in Seven Skies (one for each sky).
The Command Stations are planet-like objects and are
referred to as ―Lofty Stations‖ in the Quran.
There are many fortresses under each
Command Station. The fortresses are star-like objects.
The angels descending from the Araf are temporarily
sheltered in these fortresses. Subsequently, they are
sent to Job Stations in smaller groups.
The Archangel of a sky resides in the
Command Station. He oversees the angels who have
descended from the Araf, following the instructions
received from the CCU.
The System is deliberately discussed in
Section-9 of Chapter-6.

Section 3 of Chapter 37 [Verse 11-12]: Amazing Thing

Just ask their opinion: Are they a stronger creation or whom

We have created—indeed We created them from unique gene
expressions (tinin lazibin)! Truly you are an amazing thing,
while they ridicule.

Remarks:

In the above verses, "tinin" means "lute." A lute is a

stringed musical instrument.
201
 There are 46 double-helix DNA molecules in the
zygote of a human. Each DNA molecule is a six-foot-
long polymer (that remains coiled into a microscopic
chromosome). A DNA molecule contains innumerable
programs in the form of genes, which radiate messages,
such as mRNAs or waves of creation, as needed.
Thus, a zygote is like a lute with 46 strings, and gene
expression is like the music of creation. Therefore, "tinin"
is translated in the verse under discussion as "gene
expression."
In above verse, "lazib" means "to bite / sticky /
necessary". In context of the verse, it should mean
"unique" (for each human).
So, ―tinin lazibin‖ should mean ―unique gene
expression.‖ All fish of a species are identical; all birds of
a species are identical, but each human is unique. When
the fusion of sperm and ovum occurs to produce a zygote,
the unique genetic code of a human is formed. Even the
nafs of each person is different, which gives each
individual a distinct character. For example, some people
possess more courage, while others have less.
A human possesses an amazing physique, as the
verses say: ―Truly, you are an amazing thing…‖ A human
has color vision, eyes capable of perceiving a wide
spectrum, and hearing that ranges from 20 Hz to 20,000
Hz. He can think, talk, write, and remember. All matter,
plants, and animals are useful to him. He enjoys a wide
variety of foods and numerous forms of enjoyment. He
stands at the receiving end of the universe's products. A
star produces gold and silver through painful evolution
and explosive processes. And who uses those? It is their
women.
202
 We are a higher creation than the jinn, but they
ridicule us because they are jealous of us: Truly you are
an amazing thing, while they ridicule.
The jinn are the highest-ranking creatures among
those made from anti-matter. Allah created them before
us. They are intelligent and possess unique qualities, such
as the ability to fly through space and likely requiring
minimal support to survive. However, they are simpler in
form and lack many of the qualities that humans possess.
The jinn are deliberately discussed in Section-3 of
Chapter-7.

Section-4 of Chapter 37 [Verse 13-18]: Humans that do not

pay heed to Admonition

And when they are admonished, pay no heed. And when they
see a sign, turn it to mockery and say: "This is nothing but
evident sorcery! What! When we die and become dust and
bones, shall we be raised up and also our fathers of old?"
Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated."

Remarks:

The universe (Samawaat) will be collapsed and then be

revived. The reviving initial universe will be halted
temporarily for Judgment and Salvation. The Believers
will be shifted to the Jannaat (another universe).
The halted universe will restart its evolution with the
unbelievers as its permanent residents. Over time, an
unbeliever will find himself in a galaxy where the jinn
will also reside. The Samawaat (this universe) is meant
for the jinn; it is their original home.
203
 The body of a hell-dweller will be immensely
enhanced to survive within the objects of hell (the
galaxies of this universe, or Samawaat), yet his existence
will remain painful. The galaxies are unimaginably
violent; he may endlessly search for a better planet in his
galaxy.
A human has the potential ability to contact the jinn.
However, the jinn of his galaxy would not easily obey
him. It is worth noting that Iblis (Satan, a jinn) refused to
bow down before Adam, even at the cost of losing his
position.
Humans are vicegerents of God by origin. However,
the vicegerents left in the Samawaat will be forgotten.
They will seek assistance from the jinns, but they will be
humiliated. Thus, the verses say, "Yea, and ye shall then
be humiliated."
The jinn are created to be well-suited for the
Samawaat. The Samawaat is their home universe. They
will not experience pain unless placed in a domain of
punishment.

Section-5 of Chapter 37 [Verse 19-39]: At the outset of an

endless Journey

Then it will be a single cry, and behold, they will begin to

see! They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of
Judgment!"
This is the Day of Sorting Out whose truth ye denied!
"Bring ye up", it shall be said, "the wrong-doers and their
wives and the things they worshipped besides God, and lead
them to the way to the Fire!"

204
 But stop them, for they must be asked: ―What is the
matter with you that ye help not each other?‖
Nay, but that Day they shall submit. And they will turn to
one another and question one another. They will say: "It was
ye who used to come to us from the right hand!"

Remarks:

A satanic jinn approaches from the left and whispers into

the heart. But, the verses state: ―You who used to come to
us from the right hand.‖ Thus, the verse refers to the
coming of humans.
Most likely, these will be the words of certain
women. By such words, they will mean that they were
deceived by satanic jinn approaching from the left, while
their human allies (boyfriends) came from the right. As a
result, they had no opportunity to heed the call of the
Prophet (pbuh).

They will reply: "Nay, ye yourselves had no Faith! Nor

had we any authority over you. Nay, it was ye who were a
people in obstinate rebellion! So, now has been proved true
against us the word of our Lord that we shall indeed taste.
We led you astray; for truly we were ourselves astray."
Truly, that day, they will share in the penalty. Verily, that
is how We shall deal with sinners. For they, when they were
told that there is no god except God, would puff themselves
up with pride and say: "What! Shall we give up our gods for
the sake of a poet possessed?"
Nay! He has come with the truth, and he confirms the
apostles (before him).

205
 Ye shall indeed taste of the grievous penalty, but it will
be no more than the retribution that ye have produced.

Section 6 of Chapter 37 [Verse 40-74]: Which is Better?

But the chosen servants of God, for them is sustenance

determined, fruits, and they (shall enjoy) honor and dignity in
Jannaat-i-Naim facing each other on thrones. Round will be
passed to them a cup from a clear-flowing fountain, crystal-
white, of a taste delicious to those who drink, free from
headiness, nor will they suffer intoxication there-from. And
besides them will be chaste women, restraining their glances,
with big eyes, as if they were eggs closely guarded.
Then they will turn to one another and question one
another. One of them will start the talk and say: ―I had an
intimate companion, who used to say, ―What! Are thou
among those who bear witness to the truth? When we die and
become dust and bones, shall we indeed receive rewards and
punishments!‖‖
(A voice will) say: "Would ye like to look?"
Then he (will) look and see him in the midst of the Fire.
He will say: "By God! Thou were little short of bringing
me to perdition! Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I
should certainly have been among those brought! Is it that we
shall not die, except our first death, and that we shall not be
punished?"

Remarks:

Some people will be salvaged from the hell after the

punishment. They will die in the hell (Second Death) and
will be resurrected. Then they may be taken to the
206
 Jannaat. The Salvation through Second Death is
deliberately discussed in Section-6 of Chapter-39.

Verily, this is the supreme achievement! For the like of

this, let all strive who wish to strive.
Is that the better entertainment, or the Tree of Zaqum?
For We have truly made it a trial for the wrong-doers. Indeed,
it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of hell-fire. The
shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils. Truly,
they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith. Then on
top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling
water. Then shall their return be to the fire.
Truly they found their fathers on the wrong path! So, they
were rushed down on their footsteps! And truly before them
many of the ancients went astray!
But, We sent aforetime among them (apostles) to
admonish them. Then see what was the end of those who
were admonished, except the chosen servants of God!

Remarks:

In the above verses, ―…except the chosen servants of

God!‖ refers to ―the Jews.‖ The Jews are called the
―Chosen People of God.‖ On a few occasions, some of
them disobeyed the apostles, but they were not
annihilated like the Ad, Thamud, and Midianites because
they were Believers. Finally, although some of them
rejected Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), only a small portion
of them suffered punishment.
They are descendants of the Prophets, who prayed for
them often.

207
 Segment-2
Old Prophets and Now

Section 7 of Chapter 37 [Verse 75-82]: Noah

Noah cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer. And
We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity
and made his progeny to endure. And We left for him among
generations to come in later times ‗Peace and Salutation to
Noah‘ among the nations! Thus, indeed do we reward those
who do right. Indeed, he was one of our believing servants.
Then the rest we overwhelmed in the Flood.

Section 8 of Chapter 37 [Verse 83-113]: Abraham

Verily, among those who followed his (Noah‘s) way was

Abraham. Behold! He approached his Lord with a sound
mind (Qalb).
Behold! He said to his father and to his people, "What is
that which ye worship? Is it a falsehood—gods other than
God that ye desire? Then what is your idea about the Lord of
the universes?"
Then did he cast a glance at the stars and he said: "I am
indeed sick!" So, they turned away from him and departed.
Then did he turn to their gods and said: "Will ye not eat?
What is the matter with you that you speak not?" Then did he
turn upon them striking with the right hand.
Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps and
faced. He said: "Worship you that which you have carved?
But God has created you and your handwork!"
They said, "Build him a furnace and throw him into the
blazing fire!"
208
 They then sought a stratagem against him, but We made
them the ones most humiliated!
He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!
O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"
So, We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer
and forbear. Then, when reached (the age) of working with
him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in
sacrifice. Now see what thy view is!"
Said: "O my father, do as thou are commanded; thou will
find me, if God so wills, one practising patience and
constancy!"
So, when they had both submitted their wills (to God),
and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead, We called out
to him, "O Abraham, thou hast already fulfilled the vision!"
Thus, indeed do We reward those who do right.
For this was obviously a trial. And We ransomed him
with a momentous sacrifice. And We left for him among
generations in later times: Peace and salutation to Abraham!
Thus, indeed, do We reward those who do right. Indeed, he
was one of our believing servants.
And We gave him the good news of Isaac, a prophet, one
of the Righteous. We blessed him and Isaac. But of their
progeny are that do right and that obviously do wrong to their
own souls.

Section-9 of Chapter 37 [Verse114-122]: Moses and Aaron

Again, We bestowed Our favor on Moses and Aaron, and We

delivered them and their people from great calamity. And We
helped them, so they became victors. And We gave them the
book, which helps to make things clear. And We guided them
to the Straight Way.
209
 And We left for them among generations in later times:
Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron! Thus, indeed, do
We reward those who do right. Indeed, they were two of our
believing servants.

Section-10 of Chapter 37 [Verse 123-132]: Elias

So also was Elias among those sent. Behold, he said to his

people, "Will ye not guard? Will ye call upon Baal and
forsake the Best of Creators, God your Lord and Cherisher,
and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of the old?"
But they rejected him. And they will certainly be called
up, except the sincere and devoted servants of God.
And We left for him among generations in later times:
Peace and salutation to such as Elias! Thus indeed, do We
reward those who do right. Indeed, he was one of our
believing servants.

Section 11 of Chapter 37 [Verse 133-138]: Lut

So also, was Lut among those sent. Behold, We delivered

him and his adherents, all except an old woman who was
among those who lagged behind. Then We destroyed the rest.
Verily, ye pass by their (sites) by day and by night; will ye
not understand?

Section 12 of Chapter 37 [Verse 139-148]: Jonah

So also was Jonah among those sent. When he ran away to

the ship laden, he cast lots, and he was condemned. Then the
big fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of
blame. Had it not been that he glorified God, He would
210
certainly have remained inside the fish till the Day of
Resurrection. But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a
state of sickness, and We caused to grow over him a gourd
vine.
And We sent him to a hundred thousand or more, and
they believed. So, We permitted them to enjoy for a while.

Section 13 of Chapter 37 [Verse 149-166]: Pagans with

Wrong Ideas

Now ask them their opinion: "Is it that thy Lord has
daughters and they have sons? Or that We created the angels,
female, and they are witnesses?"
Is it not that they say from their own invention, "God has
begotten children"?
But they are liars! Did He choose daughters rather than
sons? What is the matter with you? How judge ye? Will ye
not then receive admonition? Or have ye an authority
manifest? Then bring ye your book if ye be truthful!
And they have invented a blood relationship between
Him and the jinns, but the jinns know that they have indeed
to appear (for Judgment)! Glory to God from the things they
ascribe!
Except the slaves Allah chosen, so indeed, you and what
you worship (jinns), not you can tempt away from Him
except such as are going to the blazing fire.
And not among us (angels), except for him a position
known; and we are those who line up, and we are verily those
who declare glory!"

211
Section 14 of Chapter 37 [Verse 167-179]: Soon shall they
See

And there were those who said, "If only we had before us a
Message from those of old, we should certainly have been
servants of God, sincere!" But, they reject it. But soon will
they know!
Already has Our word been passed before to our servants
sent that they would certainly be assisted, and that Our
forces—they surely must conquer. So, turn thou away from
them for a little while and watch them, and they soon shall
see!
Do they wish to hurry on our punishment? But when it
descends into the open space before them, evil will be the
morning for those who were warned! So, turn thou away
from them for a little while and watch; and they soon shall
see!

Section 15 of Chapter 37 [Verse 180-182]: Glory to Lord

Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honor and Power from what
they ascribe!
And peace on the apostles!
And praise to God, the Lord and Cherisher of the
universes.

generations before them did We destroy! In the end, they
cried when there was no longer time for being saved!

Section 2 of Chapter 38 [Verse 4-15]: People rejecting
Prophet (pbuh)

So, they wonder that a Warner has come to them from among
themselves! And the Unbelievers say: ―This is a sorcerer
telling lies. Has he made the gods into one God! Truly, this is
a wonderful thing.‖
And the leader among them goes away: "Walk ye away
and remain constant to your gods; for this is truly a thing
designed. We never heard of this among the people of these
latter days; this is nothing but a made-up tale! What! Has the
Message been sent to him among us!"
But they are in doubt concerning My message! Nay, they
have not yet tasted My punishment! Or have they the
treasures of the mercy of thy Lord, the Exalted in Power, the
Grantor of Bounties without measure? Or have they the
dominion of the Skies and the Lands and all between? If so,
let them mount up with the ropes and means! But they will be
a defeated host like the confederates of the old times.
Before them rejected apostles: the people of Noah, and
'Ad, and Pharaoh the Lord of Stakes, and Thamud, and the
people of Lut, and the Companions of the Wood; such were
the Confederates. Not one but rejected the apostles but My
punishment came justly and inevitably. These only wait for a
single mighty blast, which will brook no delay.

Section 3 of Chapter 38 [Verse 16-29]: Our Servant David

They say: "Our Lord! Hasten for us our share before the Day
of Account!"
Have patience at what they say and remember Our
servant David, the man of strength, for he ever turned. It was
214
We that made the hills declare in unison with him Our praises
at eventide and at break of day, and the birds gathered; all
with him did turn.

Remarks:

In above verses, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is said,

―Have patience at what they say and remember Our
servant David‖.
What is there to remember about David? He was not
responsible for preaching religion among unbelievers. He
was the son-in-law of a king, later became a king himself,
and died in old age as a king. He faced nothing like
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Yet, David is to be remembered for his turning to
God, as said in the verses: ―…remember Our servant
David, the man of strength, for he ever turned. It was We
that made the hills declare in unison with him Our
praises at eventide and at break of day, and the birds
gathered; all with him did turn.‖
It is said in another verse as well:

―We bestowed grace afore-time on David from

ourselves: "O ye mountains sing ye back the
praises of God with him, and ye birds...‖‖
[Al Quran 34:10]

The remembrance (zikr) of God calms the heart. One

should remember and praise God in the moments of
sorrow and joy.
The verses narrate the effects of praising God. To
understand the effects, we should ask some question:
215
  How did the hills praise God? They do not have
mouths—were they merely echoing the sound, or
were they praising in a way similar to the trees?
Trees praise God, yet we do not hear them. Was
the praising of the hills audible to the human ear?
 Were the birds praising in David‘s language, or
were they praying in their own languages?
Most likely, the verses imply that if a person praises
God loudly and regularly in a specific area, maybe the
nearby objects and living creatures is also praising with
him, even though the person cannot hear it. For instance,
if a person is loudly praising God (zikr) in his house,
perhaps the furniture in the house is also praising along
with them.
The double-slit experiment suggests that human
consciousness can affect subatomic particles, such as
electrons. An electron moves in the form of a wave, but
when it is observed, it behaves like a particle. This
implies that an electron may possess some form of
consciousness.
Therefore, a nafs, enhanced through praising and
meditation on God, may establish a limited connection
with the local environment and may potentially have an
impact on the nearby objects.
It is beneficial to set aside a fixed time and space to
praise God loudly with beautiful words in a rhythmic tone
(preferably selecting words from the Quran). The Quran
repeatedly encourages glorifying God at night.

We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and

sound judgment in speech and decision.

216
 Has the story of the disputants reached thee? Behold, they
climbed over the wall of the private chamber when they
entered the presence of David, and he was terrified of them.
They said: ―Fear not, we are two disputants, one of whom has
wronged the other—decide now between us with truth, and
treat us not with injustice, but guide us to the even path. This
man is my brother. He has nine and ninety ewes, and I have
one; yet he says, ―Commit her to my care, and is harsh to me
in speech.‖
Said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding
thy ewe to be added to his ewes. Truly, many are the partners
who wrong each other; not so do those who believe and work
deeds of righteousness, and how few they are!"
And David gathered that We had tried him. He asked
forgiveness of his Lord, fell down bowing, and turned.
So, We forgave him this. He enjoyed, indeed, a near
approach to Us, and a beautiful place of return.

Remarks:

David had an affair with a married woman. Later, he

repented and sought forgiveness from God, and God
forgave him. Humans are slaves of God, and a Master has
the authority to forgive any wrongdoing committed
against any of His slaves.
According to the verses, there were two reasons why
Allah not only forgave David but also allowed him to
maintain his close relationship with Him and ensured his
beautiful place of return in the afterlife. The reasons
were:
 Firstly, David used to praise God in the morning
and in the eventide.
217
  Secondly, he ever turned to God by repenting and
seeking forgiveness for his sins.
It is likely that David praised God with songs and
musical instruments. Composing a song of praise with the
right words requires exceptional intelligence. Moreover,
singing praises to God demands an overflowing love for
Him; otherwise, it risks becoming a mockery or mere
showmanship.
The story of the woman is deliberately narrated in the
Holy Bible. However, the account appears to be
significantly corrupted. Below is the narration from the
Holy Bible, followed by a discussion of the likely
corruptions and their possible causes.

Samuel 11, Holy Bible:

1 In the spring of that year, when kings usually set

out to fight, David sent out Joab, his officers and
all the Israelite troops. They slaughtered the
Ammonites and attacked Rabbah, while David
remained in Jerusalem.
2 One afternoon, David got up from his siesta
and took a walk on the roof of the royal house.
From the rooftop, he saw a woman bathing, and
the woman was very beautiful.
3 David sent to inquire about the woman, and
was told, "She is Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam
and wife of Uriah, the Hittite."
4 So David sent messengers to have her
brought to him; and he had intercourse with her
after she had cleansed herself after her monthly
period. Then she returned to her house.
218
 5 As the woman saw she was with child, she
sent word to David, "I am with child."
6 David then sent a message to Joab, "Send
me Uriah the Hittite." So Joab sent Uriah to
David.
7 When Uriah came, David asked him about
Joab, how the people were and how the war was
proceeding;
8 then he told Uriah, "Go down to your house
and wash your feet."
Uriah left the palace and the king had a
portion from his table sent to him.
9 Uriah, however, did not go down to his
house but slept by the door of the king's palace
with all the servants of his lord.
10 David was told that Uriah did not go down
to his house, and he said to him, "Have you not
come from a journey? Why did you not go down
to your house?"
11 Uriah replied, "The ark, the men of Israel
and Judah are housed in tents while my lord Joab
and his servants are encamped in the open
country. Shall I go to my house to eat and drink
there and sleep with my wife? As you live, I will
not do this!"
12 So David said to Uriah, "Remain here
today also and I will dismiss you tomorrow."
Uriah therefore stayed in Jerusalem that day and
the day after.
13 David invited him to table and he ate and
drank until he was drunk. When evening fell,
however, he went to lie down on his couch with
219
the guards of his lord instead of going down to his
house.
14 The next morning, David wrote Joab a
letter to be taken by hand by Uriah,
15 in which he said, "Place Uriah in the front
row where the fighting is very fierce and then
withdraw from him so that he may be struck down
and die."
16 When Joab was attacking the city, he
assigned Uriah to a place which he knew was
being defended by strong warriors.
17 And the defenders attacked the men of
Joab. Some of David's soldiers and officers were
killed; Uriah the Hittite also died.
18 Then Joab sent a messenger to tell David
everything that had happened during the battle.
19 And he said to him, "When you have
finished recounting the outcome of the battle to
the king,
20 perhaps he will get angry and ask you,
'Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you
not know they would shoot from the wall?
21 Who killed Abimelech, son of
Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who dropped a
millstone on him from the wall so that he died at
Thebez? Why did you go so close to the wall?';
then you shall say: Your servant Uriah the Hittite
is also dead."
22 So the messenger went to tell David all that
Joab instructed him.
23 So he answered the king and explained,
"These men had overcome us and pushed us in the
220
field; then we drove them back to the entrance
gate.
24 But the archers aimed at your guard from
the top of the wall, killing some of them. Your
servant Uriah the Hittite has also been killed."
25 David said to the messenger, "Try to
encourage Joab with this message: Do not let this
thing disturb you, for the sword devours one this
time and another at another time. Intensify your
attacks against the city and overthrow it."
26 When Uriah's wife heard of the death of
her husband, she mourned for him.
27 After her mourning was over, David had
her brought to his house. She became his wife and
bore him a son. But Yahweh (God) was
displeased with what David had done.

Samuel 12, Holy Bible:

1 So Yahweh (God) sent the prophet Nathan to

David. Nathan went to the king and said to him,
"There were two men in a city: one was rich; the
other, poor.
2 The rich man had many sheep and cattle,
3 but the poor man had only one little ewe
lamb he had bought. He himself fed it and it grew
up with him and his children. It shared his food,
drank from his cup and slept on his lap. It was like
a daughter to him.
4 Now a traveler came to the rich man, but he
would not take from his own flock or herd to

221
prepare food for the traveler. Instead, he took the
poor man's lamb and prepared that for his visitor."
5 David was furious because of this man and
told Nathan, "As Yahweh lives, the man who has
done this deserves death!
6 He must return the lamb fourfold for acting
like this and showing no compassion."
7 Nathan said to David, "You are this man! It
is Yahweh, God of Israel, who speaks: 'I anointed
you king over Israel and saved you from Saul's
hands;
8 I gave you your master's house and your
master's wives; I also gave you the nation of Israel
and Judah. But if this were not enough, I would
have given you even more.
9 Why did you despise Yahweh by doing what
displeases him? You struck down Uriah the Hittite
with the sword and took his wife for yourself.
Yes, you killed him with the sword of the
Ammonites.
10 Now the sword will never be far from your
family because you have despised me and taken
the wife of Uriah the Hittite for yourself.
11 Thus says Yahweh: Your misfortune will
rise from your own house! I will take your wives
from you and give them to your neighbor who
shall lie with them in broad daylight.
12 What you did was done secretly, but what I
do will be done before Israel in broad daylight."
13 David said to Nathan, "I have sinned
against Yahweh." Nathan answered him,
"Yahweh has forgiven your sin; you shall not die.
222
 14 However, because you have dared to
despise Yahweh by doing such a thing, the child
that is born to you shall die."
15 Then Nathan left and went to his house.
Yahweh struck the child that Uriah's wife bore
to David and it became sick.
16 David entreated God for the child; he kept
a strict fast and lay on the ground the whole night.
17 The elders of his house asked him to rise
from the ground but he refused. Nor did he join
them to eat.
18 On the seventh day, the child died. David's
servants were afraid to tell him that the child was
dead for they said, "When the child was still alive,
we spoke to him but he would not listen to us.
What will he do if we tell him the child is dead?"
19 When David saw his servants whispering
to one another, he realized that the child was dead
and asked them, "Is the child dead?" They replied,
"He is dead."
20 Then David rose from the ground, washed
and anointed himself, and changed his clothes. He
entered the house of Yahweh and worshiped.
After that, he went to his own house, asked for
food and ate.
21 Then his servants asked him, "Why are you
acting like this? You fasted and wept for the child
while it was alive; but after it died, you got up and
took food."
22 David answered, "While the child was still
alive, I fasted and wept thinking: who knows?

223
Perhaps Yahweh will be kind to me and let my
child live.
23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast?
Can I bring him back to life? I can go to him but
he cannot return to me."
24 David comforted his wife Bathsheba. He
went in and slept with her and she bore a son
whom he named Solomon. Yahweh loved him
25 and made it known through Nathan the
prophet, who named him Jedidiah on Yahweh's
behalf.
26 Joab fought against Rabbah of the
Ammonites and conquered the king's city.
27 Then he sent messengers to David and told
him, "I have fought against Rabbah and
conquered the city of waters.
28 Gather then the rest of the people to attack
and capture the city lest I myself do it and the city
be called by my name."
29 So David mustered the people, attacked
and captured Rabbah.
30 He took the crown of their god Milkom
from its head, the weight of which was a talent of
gold, and which had a precious stone embedded in
it. This they put on David's head. He carried off
an amount of booty
31 and brought away the people whom he set
to labor with saws, iron picks and iron axes,
making them work at the brick-kilns. David dealt
like this with all the Ammonite cities, then he
returned to Jerusalem with all the people.
–Samuel, Chapter 11 and 12, Holy Bible.
224
 The Quran does not mention the killing of the
husband. Perhaps he died as usually in the battle field.
However, the love affair with his wife is true, as indicated
by the verses under discussion: ―…He has nine and
ninety ewes, and I have one; yet he says, ―Commit her to
my care, and is harsh to me in speech.‖
The Quran does not mention the child either—why
would Allah punish an infant for the crime of his father?
The child may have also died naturally.
Thus, the story in the Holy Bible appears to have been
fabricated by certain Jews of that time who disliked
David. People, in general, often do not favor rulers. In
reality, many opposed religious rule but were compelled
to follow David because he was a very strong and
influential leader.
Even today, Jews do not consider David as a Prophet
of God. They did not include his book, Zabur, in the
compendium of the Holy Bible, and the Zabur has been
lost. However, they have preserved several of his songs,
which may have originated from his book.
'Zabur' is referred to as 'Zimrah' in Hebrew, which
means 'song.' A fragment of one of his songs is given
below:

21 The Lord has dealt with me according to my

righteousness; according to the cleanness of my
hands he has rewarded me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I am
not guilty of turning from my God.
23 All his laws are before me; I have not
turned away from his decrees.
225
 24 I have been blameless before him and have
kept myself from sin.
25 The Lord has rewarded me according to
my righteousness, according to my cleanliness in
his sight.
– 2 Samuel 22, Holy Bible

O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth,

so judge thou between men in truth, nor follow thou the lusts,
for they will mislead thee from the Path of God. For those
who wander astray from the Path of God is a penalty
grievous, for that they forget the Day of Account.
Not without purpose did We create Sky and Land and all
between—that is the consideration of those who disbelieve—
then woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire!
Shall We treat those who believe and work deeds of
righteousness the same as those who do mischief on the
Earth? Shall We treat those who guard against Evil the same
as those who turn aside from the right?
A Book, which We have sent down unto thee, full of
blessings that they may mediate on its verses, and that men of
understanding may receive admonition.

Section 4 of Chapter 38 [Verse 30-40]: Solomon

To David We gave Solomon. How excellent in Our service!

Ever did he turn!
When there were displayed before him in the evening
well-trained horses of highest breed, he said, "Truly do I love
the ‗love of good‘ with a view to the glory of my Lord," until
(the sun) was hidden in the veil: "Bring them back to me."
Then began he to pass his hand over legs and their necks.
226
Remarks:

In the above verses, "then began he to pass his hand over

their legs and necks" means that he began to kill the
horses by cutting off their necks and legs.
Solomon is renowned for his sound judgment. If he
missed the prayer by visiting them, he himself should
have been punished, why the horses were killed?
However, the Quran also does not present the incident
negatively. Why?
The following may offer an explanation:
His songs reveal that, personally, he was a man of
Sufi ideology, and therefore, he was not supposed to be
attached to earthly possessions. However, he felt a deep
love for the horses. In response, he was consoling his
mind, as the verses say: "Truly do I love the ‗love of
good‘ with a view to the glory of my Lord".
It is true that the horses could be used to glorify God
by strengthening his army, which fought for the cause of
God. However, when he missed his prayer, he realized
that he had been deceiving himself. He understood that
his 'love for the horses' had diverted him from the 'love of
God.' In his realization, he began killing the horses as if
in a frenzy.
A core idea in Sufi ideology is that a person who
claims to 'Love God' must direct his love away from
everything else. The following is a Song of Solomon,
which reveals Solomon‘s thoughts. Jews interpret his
songs as depicting the relationship between God and His
people:

227
―The Sublime Song: it has come from Solomon.
Shower me with kisses of your mouth:
your love is more delicious than wine
Your oil smells sweeter than any perfume,
your name spreads out like balm;
no wonder the maidens long for you.
Lure me to you, let us fly!
bring me, O king, into your room,
and be our joy, our excitement.
We will praise your caresses more than
wine,
how rightly are you loved.
I am sunburned yet lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
dark as the tents of Kedar,
as the tent curtains of Solomon.
Stare not at my dark complexion;
it is the sun that has darkened me.
My mother's sons were angry with me
and made me work in the vineyards;
for I had failed to tend my own.
Tell me, my soul's beloved,
where do you graze your flock,
where do you rest your sheep at noon?
Why must I be wandering
beside the flocks of your companions?
If you do not know yourself,
most beautiful woman,
follow the tracks of the flock
and pasture your young goats
beside the shepherds' tents.
To a mare in Pharaoh's chariot
228
 would I liken you, my love.
Your cheeks look lovely between pendants,
your neck beautiful with strings of beads.
We will make you earrings of gold
and necklaces of silver.
While the king rests on his couch,
my perfume gives forth its fragrance.
My lover is for me a sachet of myrrh
lying between my breasts.
My lover is for me a cluster of henna
from the vineyards of Engedi.
How beautiful you are, my love,
how beautiful! Your eyes are doves!
How handsome you are, my love,
how handsome! Our bed is ever green!
The beams of our house are cedar,
our rafters are fir.
– Song of Songs 1 (1-17), Holy Bible

In this context, there is an astronomical question

posed by Hafiz, the Persian poet:

What would happen if God leaned down and gave

you a full wet Kiss?
Hafiz doesn't mind answering astronomical
questions Like that: You would surely
start reciting all day, inebriated, rogue-
poems like this. – Hafiz

And We did try Solomon: We placed on his throne a

body, but he did turn. He said, "O my Lord! Forgive me and

229
grant me a kingdom, which suits not another after me; for
Thou art the Grantor of Bounties.
Then We subjected the wind to his power to flow gently
to his order whither-so-ever he willed, as also the devils
(jinns), every kind of builder and diver, as also others bound
together in fetters—such are Our bounties; whether thou
bestow them or withhold them, no account will be asked.
And he enjoyed, indeed, a near approach to Us and a
beautiful place of return.

Section-5 of Chapter 38 [Verse41-44]: Our Servant Job

Commemorate Our Servant Job. Behold he cried to his Lord:

"The Satan has afflicted me with distress and suffering!"
Strike with thy foot this water to bathe, cool and
refreshing, and to drink. And We gave him his people and
doubled their number as a grace from Ourselves, and a thing
for commemoration for all who have understanding.
"And take in thy hand a little grass and strike therewith
and break not."
Truly, We found him full of patience and constancy. How
excellent in Our service! Ever did he turn!

Section-6 of Chapter 38 [Verse 45-48]: Remember other

Servants

And commemorate Our Servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

possessors of power and vision. Verily, We did choose them
for a special (purpose), proclaiming the message of the
hereafter. They were in Our sight, truly, of the company of
the elect and the good.

230
 And commemorate Isma'il, Elisha, and Zul-kifl. Each of
them was of the company of the good.

Section-7 of Chapter 38 [Verse 49-64]: Reward of Al

Muttaqin

This is a message; and verily for the guards is a beautiful

place of return, Jannaati-Adni, whose doors will be open to
them. Therein will they recline. Therein they can call for fruit
in abundance, and drink. And beside them will be chaste
women restraining their glances, of equal age. Such is the
promise made to you for the Day of Account! Truly, such
will be Our bounty; it will never fail.
Yea, such, but for the wrongdoers will be an evil place of
return, the Hell, they will burn therein, an evil bed! Yea,
such! Then shall they taste it, a boiling fluid, and a fluid dark,
murky, intensely cold! And other penalties of a similar kind
to match them!
Here is a troop rushing headlong with you! No welcome
for them! Truly they shall burn in the fire! Nay, ye, no
welcome for you!
"It is ye who have brought this upon us! Now evil is place
to stay in," they will say, "Our Lord! Who-ever brought this
upon us, add to him a double penalty in the fire!" And they
will say, "What has happened to us that we see not men
whom we used to number among the bad ones? Did we take
them as object of mockery, or have eyes failed to perceive
them?"
Truly that is just and fitting—the mutual
recriminations of the people of fire!

231
Section 8 of Chapter 38 [Verse 65-88]: The Call

Say: "Truly am I a Warner—no god is there but the One God,

Supreme and Irresistible, the Lord of the Skies and the Lands
and all between, Exalted in Might, Able to Enforce His Will,
Forgiving Again and Again."
Say: "That is a message supreme, from which ye do turn
away! No knowledge have I of the chiefs on high (chief
angels) when they discuss among themselves. Only this has
been revealed to me that I am to give warning plainly and
publicly."
Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create
man from tinin (gene expression). When I have fashioned
him and breathed into him of My ruh, fall ye down in
obeisance unto him."
So, the angels prostrated themselves; all of them together.
Not so Iblis; he was haughty and became one of those who
reject Faith.
Said: "O Iblis, what prevents thee from prostrating thyself
to one whom I have created with my hands? Are you
haughty? Or are you one of the high ones?"
Said: "I am better than he. Thou created me from fire
(radiation of antimatter), and him You created from tinin
(gene expression that uses baryonic matter to form the
body)."
Said: "Then get thee out from here for you are rejected,
accursed. And My curse shall be on thee till the Day of
Judgment."
Said: "O my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the
(dead) are raised."
Said: "Respite then is granted thee until the Day of
Judgment."
232
 Said: "Then, by Thy power, I will put them all in the
wrong, except Thy servants among them, sincere and
purified."
Said: "Then it is just and fitting, and I say what is just and
fitting that I will certainly fill hell with thee and those that
follow thee, everyone."
Say: "No reward do I ask of you for this, nor am I a
pretender; this is no less than a Message to the Worlds, and
ye shall certainly know the truth of it after a while."

233
Chapter 39 [Al Zumar CROWDS]

Introduction

The Surah presents argument against the claim that God has
accepted a son.
It highlights that the Quran admonishes and softens hearts
more efficiently than any other divine book. It calls people to
accept its guidance.
It provides a vivid description of the Final Judgment and
portrays the sorrowful end of the Disbelievers. The central
discussion of the Final Judgment is presented in this Surah.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 39 [Verse 1]: A Book from God

The revelation of this Book is from God, the Exalted in

Power, full of Wisdom.
234
Section 2 of Chapter 39 [Verse 2-8]: The Universe, created
with Truth

Verily, it is We Who have revealed the Book to thee in Truth.

So, serve God offering Him sincere devotion. Is it not to God
that sincere devotion is due?
But those who take for protectors other than God: "We
only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to
God." Truly, God will judge between them in that wherein
they differ. But God guides not such as are false and
ungrateful.
Had God wished to take to Himself a son, He could have
chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He does create.
But Glory be to Him! He is God, the One, the Irresistible.
He created the Skies and Lands with truth. He wraps the
night over the day and wraps the day over the night. He has
subjected the sun and the moon; each one follows a course
for a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted in Power? He
Who forgives again and again?
He created you from a Soul Single (Nafsin-Wahidatin);
then created favorable Pairs (double helix DNA molecule),
and He sent down for you of the cattle eight Pairs (eight
double helix DNA molecules for four pairs of domestic
animals); He creates you in the wombs of your mothers—
creation after creation—three tortures (on Allah). That Allah
is your Lord; for Him is the dominion. There is no god but
He. Then how are you turned away?

235
Remarks:

The verse mentioned in the above paragraph is often

translated in distorted ways, as people do not want to
accept that any creation could be torturous for God. My
translation is direct, word-for-word.
The above verse refers to three tasks related to the
creation of humans, which were torturous undertakings
for Allah. I have discussed these "three tortures"
(zulumatin-thalathin) as follows:
1. Creation of our souls (nafses) from a Soul Single
(Nafsin-Wahidatin).
2. Creation of favorable Pairs (double-helix DNA
molecules containing astronomically vast
programs to develop a complete human from a
single-cell zygote).
3. Creation in the Mother‘s Womb (supporting the
formation of a human from fertilization to birth).
These tortures are specific to human creation alone.
Allah has also created immense universes and numerous
other creatures.
Allah does not become tired, but He experiences
hardship and pain. The tortures are discussed below:

1. The First Torture on Allah: Creation of our souls

(nafses) from a Soul Single (Nafsin-Wahidatin)

A force field and an elementary soul (ruh) are the same

thing; they operate as a command of God.
Several force fields together form a composite soul
(nafs), such as the magnetic force field, strong nuclear
force field, and weak nuclear force field, which
236
collectively make up the nafs of an atom. The nafs holds
the particles, such as electrons, neutrinos, up quarks,
down quarks, etc., and forms the atom. The atom is the
basic building block of the universe; once the atoms were
created, the universe was created.
The fundamental subatomic particles can also be
considered as force fields, as they exhibit wave-particle
duality. They are particles within an atom but behave as
force fields when free.
Similarly, the nafs of a living creature is a
combination of unknown (yet to be discovered) force
fields. Thus, a nafs sustains a system, such as an atom or
a living creature, as a functional or living entity.
Scientists predict that the forces within an atom
originated from a unified force (GUT force).

FIGURE 39.1: GUT Force

237
 The religious perspective aligns with this view: Allah
separated a part of His soul (nafs) and transformed it into
creation. This parted soul is referred to as Nafsin-
Wahidatin (a Single Soul) in the verses under discussion.
Allah fragmented the Nafsin-Wahidatin to produce
the force fields (ruhs). He designed and recombined these
force fields to create the atoms.
The Nafsin-Wahidatin also included many unknown
(yet to be discovered) force fields. These unknown force
fields were used to create the nafses of living creatures.
Since the Nafsin-Wahidatin contained many unknown
force fields, it should be referred to as GUT Force +
(Plus).
The Gravitational Force Field is not included in the
GUT Force + / Nafsin-Wahidatin.
The soul is discussed in detail in Section-1 of
Chapter-1.
Each human is unique because their emotions are
different. Emotions such as fear, hatred, greed, etc., arise
from the constituent force fields of their nafses.
Therefore, the design and proportion of these force fields
vary in different human nafses.
To create a human nafs, Allah had to focus on each
individual. It was a time-consuming task. If 40 billion
humans were to be born in total, Allah custom-made 40
billion nafses. Just counting up to 40 billion would take
years. Out of the 'Three Tortures,' this was the first torture
for Allah.

238
2. The Second Torture on Allah: Creation of favorable
Pairs (Double Helix DNA Molecule)

The DNA code is the blue print of life. It guides the

formation of a human body from a single-cell-zygote to a
hundred-trillion-cell-body.
If Allah were to create the nafs of an athlete, He
would need to provide him with the genome code of an
athlete. Thus, Allah creates perfect haploid chromosomes
in his parents to produce a zygote with the perfect
genome code. As the verses say: ―He created you from a
Soul Single (Nafsin-Wahidatin); then created favorable
pairs (Double Helix DNA Molecules carried in haploid
chromosomes)…‖
When Allah descended Adam and Eve to Earth, He
gave them four pairs of domestic animals, such as cows,
goats, camels, etc. While these animals may have
originated from earthly creatures, their genome codes
were modified to make them suitable as domestic
animals. We see that they suddenly appeared in the
evolutionary line around ten thousand years ago—these
animals, too, have missing links.
So, the verse says: ―…and He sent down for you, of
the cattle eight pairs (eight modified DNA Double Helix
molecules to produce four pairs of domestic animals)…‖

3. The Third Torture on Allah: Creation in the

Mother‘s Womb

The genome code of each zygote is custom-made.

239
 However, a genome code alone cannot fashion a
human perfectly. A zygote kept in a test tube under the
most favorable conditions does not result in a perfect
body, and there is nothing inherently special in a mother‘s
womb. The baby‘s nafs, too, being raw before its first
creation, cannot shape the body. It is Allah who fashions
the human in the mother‘s womb. As the verses say:
―…He creates you in the wombs of your mothers…‖.
Although Allah is highly capable, He is one. Consider
how many women are pregnant today—Allah fashions all
the babies. Out of the 'Three Tortures,' this is the third
torture for Allah.

4. The Resurrection

Each human is custom-made, and this process is ongoing.

Each has a genome code produced by 46 double-helix
DNA molecules, while their designed nafs is developed
as a program for resurrection during the process of
formation in the mother‘s womb.
In the mother‘s womb, a human body is like a mold,
and the nafs is like a cast. The nafs takes shape in the
mother‘s womb as the body forms, thus becoming one‘s
trace. As a composite force field, the nafs can preserve
the information of the body as a program of creation. This
information is additional to the genome code, which is
necessary to form the human body perfectly. In this way,
the nafs gets programmed to resurrect the human, and it
becomes fixed at the time of death.
On the Day of Resurrection, a set of one‘s 46 double-
helix DNA molecules will be attached to a person‘s nafs.
The nafs will then form the person‘s first cells from
240
substances supplied by God in the surroundings. The
human will grow, much like a plant grows on the earth,
supported by their matured nafs. At that time, the
mother‘s womb and Allah‘s assistance in formation will
no longer be needed.
If a plant with similar cells can grow on the earth,
why can‘t a human? Moreover, we do not yet understand
the function of over 98% of DNA. Perhaps 10% of it is
specifically designed for the Resurrection.
A DNA molecule can survive in nature for hundreds
of thousands of years. The Earth serves as our dwelling
place and protective store, as stated in the following
verse:

―It is He Who has produced you from a Soul

Single (Nafsin-Wahidatin / GUT Force +), so a
place of dwelling and a storage. We detail Our
signs for people who understand.‖
[Al Quran 6:98]

A human will be recreated with the same set of 46

double-helix DNA molecules he had on Earth, so that he
cannot deny being the same person who committed the
crime when punishment is pronounced.
If one exists here, one will exist there too—there is no
doubt whatsoever. We are creatures of a Mighty Arrogant
Creator who fulfills His visions, moving through the hard
path extending over billions of years. He must be feared
and honored to the best of our abilities.
The Earth is Allah's nursery and a ground for testing.
All creatures will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment.
One must be careful not to be cast into the fire for further
241
 evolution. Indeed, whoever disbelieves may be subjected
to this fiery universe (Samawaat) for further evolution.
The topics of Resurrection and Final Judgment are
discussed subsequently in this chapter.

If ye reject, truly God has no need of you, but He likes

not ingratitude from His servants. If ye are grateful, He is
pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden
of another. In the end, to your Lord is your return, when He
will tell you the truth of all that ye did; for He knows well all
that is in hearts.
When some trouble touches man, he cries unto his Lord,
turning to Him in repentance; but when He bestows a favor
upon him, as from Himself, he forgets what he cried and
prayed for before; and he does set up rivals unto God, thus
misleading others from God's path.
Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a little while; verily thou
art of the companions of the fire!"

Section 3 of Chapter 39 [Verse 9-20]: Instruction of

Preaching Islam

―Is one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night
prostrating himself or standing, who takes heed of the
hereafter, and who places his hope in the mercy of his Lord‖,
say, ―are those equal, those who know, and those who do not
know?‖ It is those who are endued with understanding that
receive admonition.
Say, ―O ye my servants, who believe, guard for the sake
of your Lord! Good is for those who do good in this world!
Spacious is God's Earth! Those who patiently persevere will
truly receive a reward without measure!‖
242
 Say: "Verily, I am commanded to serve God with sincere
devotion, and I am commanded to be the first of those who
bow to God in Islam."
Say: "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear
of the penalty of a Mighty Day."
Say: "It is God I serve with my sincere devotion. So,
worship what ye like besides Him."
Say: "Truly, losers are those who will lose their own
souls and their families on the Day of Judgment. Ah! That is
indeed the evident loss!‖
They shall have layers of fire above them, and layers
below them—with this does God warn off his servants: "O
My servants! Then guard for the sake of Me!"
Those who eschew evil, and fail not into its worship, and
turn to God, for them is good news, so announce the good
news to My servants, those who listen to the word and follow
the best in it; those are the ones whom God has guided, and
those are the ones endued with understanding.
Is then one against whom the decree of punishment is
justly due—will you then rescue one in the fire? But it is for
those who fear their Lord those lofty mansions one above
another have been built; beneath them flow rivers—the
promise of God; never does God fail in promise.

Section 4 of Chapter 39 [Verse 21-41]: The Quran

Admonishes; it Softens Hearts

See you not that God sends down rain from the sky and leads
it through springs in the earth? Then He causes to grow
therewith produce of various colors. Then it withers; thou
wilt see it grow yellow. Then He makes it dry up and

243
crumble away. Truly in this is a message of remembrance to
men of understanding.
Is one whose heart God has opened to Islam so that he
has received enlightenment from God—woe to those, whose
hearts are hardened against celebrating the praises of God;
they are manifestly wandering!
God has revealed the most beautiful message in the form
of a Book, consistent with itself, repeats; the skins of those
who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their
hearts do soften to the celebration of God's praises. Such is
the guidance of God; He guides there-with whom He pleases.
But such as God leaves to stray can have none to guide.
Is then one, who has to shield the brunt of penalty on the
Day of Judgment on his face—it will be said to the
wrongdoers: "Taste ye what ye earned!"
Those before them rejected, and so the punishment came
to them from directions they did not perceive. So, God gave
them a taste of humiliation in the present life, but greater is
the punishment of the hereafter, if they only knew!
We have put forth for men in this Qur'an every kind of
parable in order that they may receive admonition—a Qur'an
in Arabic, without any crookedness, in order that they may
guard against Evil.
God puts forth a parable: a man belonging to many
partners at variance with each other, and a man belonging
entirely to one master—are those two equal in comparison?
Praise be to God! But most of them have no knowledge.
Truly, thou will die, and truly they will die. In the end,
will ye on the Day of Judgment settle your disputes in the
presence of your Lord. Who then does more wrong than one
who utters a lie concerning God and rejects the truth when it
comes to him; is there not in hell an abode for blasphemers?
244
 And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms it such
are the men who guard. They shall have all that they wish for
in the presence of their Lord; such is the reward of those who
do good; that God will turn off from them the worst in their
deeds and give them their reward according to the best of
what they have done.
Is not God enough for His servant? But they try to
frighten thee with other besides Him! For such, as God leaves
to stray, there can be no guide; and such, as God does guide,
there can be none to lead astray. Is not God Exalted in Power,
Lord of Retribution?
If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the Skies
and Lands, they would be sure to say, "God". Say: "See ye
then the things that ye invoke besides God. Can they, if God
wills some penalty for me, remove His penalty? Or, if He
wills some grace for me, can they keep back his grace?"
Say: "Sufficient is God for me! In Him trust those who
put their trust."
Say: "O my people! Do whatever ye can; I will do. But
soon will ye know, who it is to whom comes a penalty of
ignominy, and on whom descends a penalty that abides."
Verily, We have revealed the Book to thee in Truth for
mankind. He then that receives guidance benefits his own
soul, but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor are thou set
over them to dispose of their affairs.

Section 5 of Chapter 39 [Verse 42-66]: The Ultimate

Losers

God causes the nafses die at death, and those that die not
during their sleep; those on whom He has passed the decree

245
of death, He keeps back; but the rest He sends for a term
appointed; verily in this are signs for those who reflect.

Remarks:

How God causes the nafs to die at death and during

sleep?
A nafs is a combination of unknown (yet to be
discovered) force fields. It spreads throughout a man's
body, with its center located below the navel. The nafs
has vital points in the head, forehead, chest, palms, and
feet.
According to the above verses, the nafs is considered
dead when a man sleeps or becomes unconscious. To
understand this matter, we may discuss the following two
cases:

Case 1: When Allah created Adam, he had a nafs and

was alive, but he was not yet conscious. Allah then
breathed a special ruh into Adam, which formed his
mind (qalb), making him conscious.

Case 2: The same happens in the case of a child. His

nafs is given soon after conception. When he is born,
he possesses a nafs and is alive, but he remains
unconscious. Allah then breathes the special ruh into
him, making him conscious, and he cries for the first
time.

From the above two cases, we understand that a ruh

makes a person conscious. A person is considered
conscious when he is capable of thinking, and thinking is
246
related to the mind (qalb). The ruh is responsible for
producing the mind.
According to the Quran and Hadith, as discussed in
Section-10 of Chapter-6, the special ruh attaches to
certain muscles in the chest. The ruh, the chest muscles,
the nerves connected to these muscles—including the
central nervous system (CNS)—and the brain collectively
produce a virtual brain, which we refer to as the mind
(qalb). Thus, the special ruh forms the mind by becoming
its active platform.
How does the special ruh keep the thought process in
order? The brain preserves vast amounts of information.
The special ruh possesses two inherent emotions—joy
and sorrow—that inspire the brain to provide the data
relevant to a particular thought. It tends to focus on
thoughts that bring joy. In this way, the special ruh opens
the mind (qalb) and makes a person conscious with
orderly thoughts.
The other emotions of a human come from his nafs.
The nafs is a combination of unknown force fields, with
each force field possessing at least two basic emotions. A
nafs and related emotions primarily act through the mind.
As a result, a human's nafs becomes inactive when mind
is dismantled due to the ruh seized by God.
A nafs is a composite force field; it cannot die like a
physical body. When a nafs becomes inactive, it is
considered dead, as said in the verse under discussion:
"God causes the nafses die at death, and those that die
not during their sleep…"
At the time of death, the angel collects the nafs. The
ruh is always collected by God—both during sleep and at
the time of death, as the verse under discussion states:
247
 "…those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He
keeps back; but the rest He sends for a term appointed;
verily in this are signs for those who reflect."
[The ruh and the nafs are deliberately discussed in
Section-10 of Chapter-6.]

What! Do they take for intercessors others besides God?

Say: "Even if they have no power whatever and no
intelligence?"
Say: "To God belongs exclusively intercession. To Him
belongs the dominion of the Skies and Lands. In the end, it is
to Him that ye shall be brought back."
When God the one and only is mentioned, the hearts of
those who believe not in the hereafter are filled with disgust
and horror, but when other than He are mentioned, behold,
they are filled with joy!
Say: "O God, Creator of the Skies and Lands, Knower of
all that is hidden and open, it is Thou that will judge between
Thy servants in those matters about which they have
differed."
Even if the wrongdoers had all that there is on earth and
as much more would they offer it for ransom from the pain of
the penalty on the Day of Judgment—but something will
confront them from God, which they could never have
counted upon, and will become apparent to them satans
(jinns), what they earned, and will surround them what they
used to mock!

Remarks:

The last paragraph of the above verses states that a human

can earn a satan (jinn). How?
248
 If a person worships idols, he may become possessed
by a satan jinni, even though he may not feel its presence.
Over time, his nafs becomes deformed as it learns to
sustain both a human body and a jinn body together, and
evolve accordingly. At the time of death, his nafs gets
fixed in deformed shape and program of resurrection.
He will resurrect in devil-human shape, as a giant,
thousand kilometers tall. Thus, the verses say: ―…and
will become apparent to them satan, what they earned…‖
An idolater will be so disheartened by seeing his
physical shape that he will not ask for forgiveness. He
will clearly feel that he has no way but to go to the hell
(galaxies of this universe) with the jinns, as the verses
say: "…but something will confront them from God,
which they could never have counted upon, and will
become apparent to them satans (jinns), what they
earned…"
[It is deliberately discussed in Section-10 of Chapter-
6]

Now, when trouble touches man he cries to Us, but when

We bestow a favor upon him as from Ourselves he says:
"This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge!"
Nay, but this is but a trial, but most of them understand not!
Thus, did the (generations) before them say! But all that they
did was of no profit to them, nay, the evil results of their
deeds overtook them. And the wrongdoers of this—the evil
results of their deeds will soon overtake them, and they will
never be able to frustrate!
Know they not that God enlarges the provision or restricts
it for any He pleases? Verily, in this are signs for those who
believe!
249
 Say: ―O my servants, who have transgressed against their
souls, despair not of the mercy of God; for God forgives all
sins; for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Turn ye to our
Lord and bow to His (will) before the penalty comes on you;
after that ye shall not be helped.
And follow the best of revealed to you from your Lord
before the penalty comes on you of a sudden, while ye
perceive not! Lest the soul should say: ―Ah! Woe is me! In
that I neglected towards God and was but among those who
mocked!‖ Or it should say: ―If only God had guided me, I
should certainly have been among the guards!‖ Or it should
say when it sees the penalty: ―If only I had another chance, I
should certainly be among those who do good!‖‖
Nay, but there came to thee my signs, and thou did reject
them; thou were haughty and became one of those who reject
faith!
On the Day of Judgment will thou see those who told lies
against God; their faces will be turned black—is there not in
hell an abode for the haughty? But God will deliver the
guards to their place of salvation; no evil shall touch them,
nor shall they grieve.
God is the creator of all things, and He is the Guardian
and Disposer of all affairs. To Him belong the keys of the
Skies and Lands. And those who reject the verses of God, it
is they who will be in loss.
Say: "Is it someone other than God that ye order me to
worship, O ye ignorant ones? But it has already been
revealed to thee, as it was to those before thee, if thou were to
join (gods with God), truly fruitless will be thy work and thou
will surely be in the ranks of those who lose".
Nay, but worship God and be of those who give thanks.

250
Section 6 of Chapter 39 [Verse 67-75]: The Judgment Day
(Main Discussion)

And not they honored Allah, true honor, while the Land is
assembling in His hand on the Day of Resurrection; and the
Skies (Samawaat / this Universe) rolled-up in His right hand.
Glory be to Him! And high is He above what they associate
(with Him).

Remarks:

It is the model of the Day of Judgment. If one gathers the

verses of the Quran related to the Day of Judgment and
arranges them in a logical sequence, they support each
other and form this model.
The topic includes diverse discussions. Therefore, the
framework of the model is provided below to help the
reader maintain focus on the main track:
1. The Quran states that this universe (Samawaat)
will collapse and then will be revived. In the
revived initial universe, the dead will be
resurrected, and their judgment will take place on
a specially created Land (the Land of Judgment)
in the Super Space.
2. After the judgment, the Believers will be relocated
to another universe called Jannaat, where they will
live forever in peace and satisfaction as
empowered vicegerents of God.
3. The sinners will be left in the reviving universe
(Samawaat). Eventually, they will be scattered in
the reviving galaxies. They will live in those

251
 galaxies forever, as forgotten vicegerents of God.
The galaxies are the objects of hell.

The Judgment Day is described under the following

headings:
1. Cyclic Model of the Universe
2. The Roll-up-Closing of the Universe
3. In the State of Thaqal (Heavy Mass)
4. The Land of Judgment
5. Blow of Trumpet (Soor)
6. Amal-Nama
7. Resurrection and Rebooting the Brain
8. Major Safayat
9. Marshaling for the Judgment
10. The Judgment
11. Moving to the Final Destinations
12. Destination
13. Conclusion
14. Summary

Background Knowledge: It is better if a reader has

gone through the following Section:
 The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe:
Section-7 of Chapter-2
 Jannaat: Section-23 of Chapter-3
 Hell: Section-27 of Chapter-3
 Creation of the Universe: Section-4 of Chapter-21

Chapter-30

252
1. Cyclic Model of the Universe

The Quran suggests a Cyclic Model of the Universe

where we are living in the Second Cycle.
The Preceding (First) Cycle, the Present (Second)
Cycle, and the Next (Third) Cycle are outlined below:

FIGURE 39.2: Cyclic Universe

1a. The Preceding (First) Cycle of the Universe

The Quran indicates that the universe was created in the

preceding (first) cycle from the Nafsin-Wahidatin / GUT
Force + (Plus).
The GUT force operated shortly after the Big Bang
during a phase of extremely high temperatures and
energies. As the universe cooled and symmetry breaking
occurred, the unified GUT force split into the strong,
weak, and electromagnetic forces, resulting in the
emergence of distinct particles. These forces governed
how matter interacted and clumped together.
Thus, the Big Bang produced smoke, primarily
composed of hydrogen and helium. It was a uniform

253
single-sky universe, which caused the gases to spread
evenly throughout the space.
GUT Force did not include gravitational force. Allah
infused gravitational force into this smoke, as the
following verses say:

―Moreover, did istawa (infused gravitational

force) into the sky (single-sky-universe of the first
cycle) while it had been smoke…‖
[Al Quran 41:11-12]

The gravitational force is a force of Allah, which He

has infused into this universe through the right hand of
His nafs.

1b. The Second (Present) Cycle of the Universe

Allah infused gravitational force (did istawa) into the

universe of the first cycle. This gravitational force
contracted the universe and produced heavier elements, at
least up to silicon, possibly in the large hot stars of the
first cycle. The stars formed mainly from the smoke
(hydrogen and helium). These heavier elements gave rise
to dust and asteroids, which are referred to as 'lands' in
the following verse:

―Moreover, did istawa (infused gravitational

force) into the sky while it had been smoke.
He said to it (smoke) and to the lands, ―Come
ye together, willingly or unwillingly.‖ They said,
―We do come in willing obedience‖.‖

254
 So, We completed them as seven skies in two
days and inspired in each Sky its affairs.‖
[Al Quran 41: 11–12]

The single-sky universe of the first cycle collapsed

faster and faster under the overwhelming pull of gravity
until it compressed into a fireball and then bounced back.
Thus, the second (present) cycle of the universe began
when the smoke and lands (dust and asteroids), produced
during the contracting phase of the first cycle, were
distributed across seven spherical waves of space. These
waves of space are the skies, nested one inside the other,
like the layers of an onion.
In this way, the universe in the present (second) cycle
has been re-designed as a seven-sky universe.

1c. The Third (Next) Cycle of the Universe

The universe of the present (second) cycle will collapse

into a Big Crunch, which will lead to its revival (Big
Bang-2). Thus, the third cycle of the universe will begin:
―But it is also possible that expansion will be
reversed by the pull of gravity, that all matter will
collapse once again into a super-dense ‗singularity‘, and
that another universe will be born in another Big Bang- a
cycle that could be repeated forever.‖
– To the Edge of Eternity by John Gribbin in The
Encyclopedia of Space Travel and Astronomy edited by
John Man
According to the following verse too, the universe
will collapse and revive.

255
 ―On the day when We will roll up the Skies like
the rolling up of the scroll for writings; as We
originated the first creation, We shall reproduce
it—a promise on Us; surely We will bring it
about.‖ [Al Quran 21: 104]

The verse states that the present universe will collapse

and will be reproduced in the same way the first creation
was originated (through the Big Bang-1). Thus, the third
(next) cycle will be initiated with the Big Crunch
(followed by the Big Bang-2).
In the third cycle, the universe will be called Hell, and
the sinners will be scattered across the galaxies, as
forgotten vicegerents of God.

2. The Roll-up-Closing of the Universe

So far I have discussed in line of the present scientific

ideas. But the Quran indicates something unique. It
suggests that the universe (Samawaat) is closing from the
outer boundary (the Seventh Sky) by rolling up the skies:

―On the day when We will roll up the Skies

(universe) like the rolling up of the scroll for
writings...‖ [Al Quran 21: 104]

―Did not they see that We come to the land (future

Land of Judgment) reducing it (this universe)
from its outer boundary (Seventh Sky)? Allah
judges; there is no adjuster of His judgment, and
He is swift, the reckoning.‖ [Al Quran 13: 41]

256
 We observe that the present universe (the universe of
the second cycle) is expanding. However, when we
observe a distant object, we are actually observing the
past. Therefore, it is possible that the universe may be
closing from the outer boundary (the seventh sky) by
rolling up space, as the verse suggests: "…We come to the
land (future Land of Judgment) reducing it (this universe)
from its outer boundary (Seventh Sky)."
The verse says, "…We come to the land…" and this
coming is related to the Judgment. Therefore, the verse
refers to the coming of entities such as Arsh, Araf, As-
Sirat, etc., which are associated with the Judgment. As
the universe (Samawaat) is contracting from its outer
boundary (the Seventh Sky), it is creating the space for
these entities to approach the future Land of Judgment.
The Quran states that the universe is closing by
rolling up space. It is not possible to visualize the rolling
of three-dimensional space. However, in the Quran, the
rolling of the skies (the universe) is compared to the
rolling of a 'scroll for writing'.
If we roll up a piece of paper, the written words do
not distort. If we unroll the paper, we recover the words.
Similarly, just as the rolled-up paper bears the writings,
the rolled-up space will contain the history of everything
as information. The completely rolled-up universe may
appear as a bright spot on the Face of God.
When the re-initiated universe will be un-rolling, the
objects (galaxies) will be reviving to the reprogrammed
state just by gaining the volumes of space.
[The rolling of the present universe is deliberately
discussed in Section-7 of Chapter-30.]

257
2a. On the ―Face of God‖

―All that on it will perish. But will abide the Face

of thy Lord, Full of Majesty, Bounty, and the
Honor.‖ [Al Quran 55: 26–27]

The 'Face of God' is not the 'face of God in form.' It

refers to the 'face of His nafs', formed by the force fields
radiating through 'His face in form'—through which He
sees and hears everything. Thus, the 'Face of God'
mentioned in the verses refers to the 'face of His nafs,'
which permeates everywhere, as the following verse says:

―And for God the East and the West, so wherever

you turn, there is the Face of God (face of His
nafs); indeed Allah is All-Encompassing, All-
Knowing.‖ [Al Quran 2:115]

The universe will collapse into a state of Singularity,

a point with infinite temperature and density. The
Singularity at the beginning of the universe is known as
the Big Bang, while the Singularity at the end is referred
to as the Big Crunch.
In terms of the Quran, the universe will collapse by
rolling up the Skies. Ultimately, it will be compressed to
a state where matter will perish. The universe in that state
will be held in the 'face of His nafs'. The 'face of His nafs'
is called the 'Face of God' in this verse.
In the super-compact universe, matter will perish, but
all information, wrapped around a super-massive black
hole, will survive. To understand the state of the universe

258
in this condition, we can examine what happens to an
object when it undergoes extreme gravitational collapse:
The Singularity (Big Crunch) can be viewed as a
super-massive black hole. If a spaceship falls into a black
hole, it elongates like spaghetti due to the difference in
gravitational force between its tip and tail. The ship, like
a long thread, will spiral around the spinning black hole.
Ultimately, the neutrons, with opposite momentum, will
fall into the black hole, while the light will be frozen in
the compact space surrounding the event horizon. This
frozen light can never fall into the black hole because, as
it approaches, time slows down. Thus, a stripe of space,
wrapping around the event horizon, will contain the
complete information (photons) of the ship. In this way,
matter will be annihilated, but the ship will exist as
information.
Information cannot be destroyed—if time were
reversed, the spaceship would return to its original state.
The tide of evolution is revealed as Time. Allah, as
the Sustainer and Evolver, is Time:

Hadith: ‗On the authority of Abu Hurayrah who

said that the Messenger of Allah said, ‗Allah says,
‗Children of Adam inveigh against Time; I am
Time; I change the day and night.‖
[Bukhari, Muslim (Hadith-e-Qudsi)]

The super-compact rolled-up universe in the form of

Singularity (Big Crunch) will contain all information
(photons) from the beginning to the end of the universe. It
will become a bright point on His face of nafs.

259
 ―And call not besides God on another god; there is
no god but He. Everything will perish except His
own Face. To Him belongs the Command and to
Him will ye be brought back.‖ [Al Quran 28:88]

Allah will have a vision of the next universe and will

reprogram the collapsed universe accordingly. He will do
so in the blink of an eye.

―To God belongs the mystery of the Skies and

Lands (Universe). And the decision of the Hour is
as the twinkling of an eye, or even quicker; for
God has power over all things.‖ [Al Quran 16:77]

Thus, it will appear as if the collapsing universe is

falling into His face of nafs and then bouncing out as a
Big Bang. However, within that brief moment, the
universe will be reprogrammed to revive as desired. This
will be a part of the next Day of Law:

―And indeed, the wicked surely in hellfire. They

will burn it.
The Day of Law (Deeni), and not they are
absent from it.
And, what can make you know what the Day
of law is!
Then, what can make you know what the Day
of Law is!
The Day not will have power a soul for a soul,
anything, and the command that Day with Allah‖
[Al Quran 82: 14-19]

260
 The universe collapsing into His face of nafs and
'bouncing out into existence' would look like a Big Bang.
But within that time, the universe will be designed to
fulfill the fates of our next determined term. Allah is the
Master of the Day of Law.
However, there will be a formal Judgment in the
reviving initial universe when Allah would adjust.
The present universe is in the right hand of His nafs.
When the universe collapses into a point, the hand may
be temporarily absorbed into His body in form.
The reviving universe will gain volume and mass as it
will move back into His hand of nafs. Simultaneously, the
resurrection of the dead will occur, and the universe will
return to its proper position in Super Space.

3. In the State of Thaqal (Heavy Mass)

From His face of nafs, the universe will move into His
hand of nafs, where it will gain mass. Soon, it will reach
the state of Heavy Mass (Thaqal), and the resurrection of
the dead will occur.
The transformation of the universe from the state of
Singularity to the state of Thaqal will occur with a great,
deep sound. Most likely, it is the sound of the universe
gaining mass:

―And when the Land is enlarged (in the form of

Thaqal) and casts forth what is within it and
becomes empty and hearkens to its Lord, and it
must need‖ [Al Quran 84: 3-5]

261
 ―Then it will be a single cry, and behold, they will
begin to see!‖[Al Quran 37:19]

―The day when they will hear a Blast, in truth,

that will be the Day of Resurrection.‖
[Al Quran 50:42]

After the resurrection of the dead on the Thaqal, the

evolution of the universe will be temporarily halted for
Judgment and Salvation, as stated in the following verse:

―And among His signs is this that the Sky and

Land (Super Space and Thaqal) stand-still on His
command. Then when He calls you by a single
call from the Land (Thaqal), behold, ye come
forth‖ [Al Quran 30:25]

So, I define 'Thaqal' as the unrolling initial universe,

temporarily halted for Judgment and Salvation.
We discussed in Section-27 of Chapter-3 that the
objects of Hell (galaxies) are created in this universe.
These objects will exist in Thaqal in a squeezed
condition. After the Final Judgment, the universe
(Thaqal) will begin unrolling and expanding. The objects
(galaxies) will then be revived by gaining volumes of
space. Eventually, the universe will be recreated, with all
its objects revived and receding from one another.
Scientists would never find a Thaqal beyond the
universe. However, they may calculate the probability of
its accidental creation, which would be more probable
than the creation of the double-helix DNA molecule that
262
actually exists. The metamorphosis of the reviving
universe into a state of Thaqal, associated with the
Resurrection of the Dead, would be evident if we had
adequate knowledge.

―By the wrapped sky, truly ye are in a differing

theory, through which are deluded, such as will be
deluded. Woe to the falsehood mongers—those
who heedless in a flood of confusion. They ask,
―When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?‖
A Day when they will be tried over the Fire‖
[Al Quran 51: 7–13]

One may either wait with incomplete theories or

believe in the messages sent to Muhammad (pbuh).

3a. Misconceptions about 'Thaqal' and the 'Seven

Layers of the Lands

The 'Thaqal' is mentioned in the Hadith as 'Seven Layers

of Lands'.
The Quran refers to the universe as Samawaat-wal-
Ard (Skies and Lands), Samawaat (Skies), or Samah
(Sky) in some instances. The Quran never mentions the
'Seven Layers of the Lands.' However, there is a verse in
the Quran that refers to equivalent lands (seven). The
verse is given below:

―Allah is He Who created Seven Skies and the

lands an equivalent (seven). Through the midst of
them descends His command that ye may know

263
 that Allah has power over all things, and that
comprehends all things in knowledge.‖
[Al Quran 65:12]

Some people incorrectly interpret it (equivalent lands) as

seven layers of land, one above the other. In their view,
the lands are flat, with each layer inhabited by living
creatures.
However, it is clearly stated in the above verse that
these lands are related to the 'descent of commands.' The
angels carrying the commands descend in groups. Each
group carry commands for a thousand years related to the
fates of living creatures. There are seven special planet-
like objects (lands) in Seven Skies where the groups
primarily descend. I refer to these lands as Command
Stations. In the Quran, the Command Stations are called
Lofty Stations. The Archangel of each Sky resides in the
Command Station, and there are other entities assigned to
control.
There are many fortresses under each of these
Command Stations. The fortresses are star-like objects or
stars near the Command Stations where the angels are
accommodated. The jinns try to gain information from
these objects, which is why they are guarded and referred
to as 'Fortresses.'

―It is We who have set out Fortresses in the Skies

and made them fair-seeming to beholders; and We
have guarded them from every satan (jinn)
accursed. But any that gains a hearing by stealth is
pursued by a flaming fire, bright‖
[Al Quran 15: 16–18]
264
 The Command Stations regroup the angels into
smaller packets and send them to their assigned job
stations by Sakinahs.
The system is deliberately discussed in Section-9 of
Chapter-6.
Therefore, the equivalent lands are seven planet-like
astral objects (Command Stations) located in the Seven
Skies.
Then, what are the 'Seven Layers of Lands' mentioned
in the Hadith? Below are some of the Hadiths that
mention the 'Seven Layers of Lands.

Hadith: ―Prophet (pbuh) said: A man who would

acquire even half a cubit of land by oppression, on
the Day of Final Judgment, Seven Layers of
Lands will be hanged on his neck‖ [Bukhari]

Hadith: ―On the Day of Final Judgment, the Hell

will be brought with the Seven Layers of Lands‖
[DakaikulAkhbar]

One may consult the Hadiths, where it becomes clear

that all the Hadiths referring to the 'Seven Layers of
Lands' are related to the Day of Judgment. The Land does
not exist at present. Therefore, the Universe in the state of
Thaqal is referred to as the Seven Layers of Lands in the
Hadith.
Currently, the lands (stars, planets, asteroids, dust,
etc.) are scattered throughout the Skies, which is why the
universe is referred to as Skies and Lands (Samawaat-
wal-Ard). At the time of Judgment, these objects will be
265
compressed into the Thaqal. Therefore, the 'Thaqal' is
referred to as the 'Seven Layers of Lands' in the Hadith.

4. The Land of Judgment

The Land of Judgment is an important point in the life

cycle of mankind, where they will be judged and their
fates for the next determined term will be decided. It will
be a specially created land at the junction point of the
routes connecting the universes. The land is discussed as
follows:

4a. Misconception about the Land of Judgment

Many misinterpret the following Hadiths and develop a

wrong idea about the Land of Judgment:
 The Hadith says that the Plain of Arafat is like the
Ground of Final Judgment. However, the Hadith
does not say that the Plain of Arafat itself is the
Ground of Final Judgment.
 Another Hadith mentions a driving fire that will
push people towards Syria. However, the Hadith
does not say that the fire will gather people for the
Judgment. Some believe Syria is the location of
the Final Judgment because they know from
another Hadith that the Arabian Peninsula will
sink before Doomsday.
In this regard, one should look into the Quran at first.
The following verse clearly states that the Final Judgment
will not take place on Earth. It will occur on a different
land, where there will be a different sky:

266
 ―One day the land will be changed to a different
land, and so will be the Skies, and will be
marshaled forth before Allah, the One, the
Irresistible‖ [Al Quran 14: 48]

The following Hadiths also indicate that the Final

Judgment will not be carried out on Earth:

―The Land of Final Judgment will be a new land;

the color of that land will be white like silver.‖
[Mashnad-e-Ahmed / Tafsir ibnZarir]

―On the Day of Judgment, mankind will be

assembled on a land that is clear and white like
bread‖ [Bukhari and Muslim]

We can conclude that the Final Judgment will not be

carried out on the Earth.

4b. Formation of the Land of Judgment

The Resurrection of the Dead will occur on the Thaqal,

but the Final Judgment will not be carried out over there.
The matter of the Solar System, along with the
resurrected living creatures, will be ejected from the
Thaqal. The matter and the living creatures will then
move apart in the Super Space (the space beyond the
universe) and form the Land of Judgment at the junction
point of As-Sirat (the paths connecting the universes).
This is mentioned in the following verses:

267
 ―The day when they will hear a blast, in truth, that
will be the Day of Qiyamah. Verily, it is We Who
give life and death, and to Us is the final goal
[Resurrection occurs].
On the day, the Land (Thaqal) breaks away
from them, quickly—that will be a gathering
together; quite easy for Us [Land of Judgment
forms].‖
[Al Quran 50: 42-44]

People, floating in the Super Space with the ejected

matter, will see the Land (Thaqal) quickly breaking away
from them.

―Verily, the Doom of thy Lord will indeed come

to pass. There is none can avert it. On the Day
when the Skies will be rolling (un-rolling Thaqal),
and the mountains will pass on, flying.‖
[Al Quran 52:7-10]

The above verses depict a similar picture: the

mountains of solar matter, ejected from the Thaqal, will
fly through the Super Space to form the Land of
Judgment at the junction point of the Paths (As-Sirat).

―And not they honored Allah, true honor, while

the Land (Land of Judgment) is assembling in His
hand on the Day of Resurrection, and the Skies
rolled-up in His right hand (in the form of
Thaqal). Glory be to Him! And high is He above
what they associate.‖ [Al Quran 39: 67]

268
 According to the above verse, the ejected solar matter
and the resurrected living creatures will assemble in a
hand (hand of Nafs) of God to form the Land of
Judgment in the Super Space. At that time, the skies will
remain rolled up (Thaqal) in His right hand.
The Barzakh (a Barrier Space) divides the Super
Space into two parts: the Eastern Super Space and the
Western Super Space. The Thaqal and the Land of
Judgment will be located in the Eastern Super Space.
Thus, there will be two Thaqals in the Eastern Super
Space: the Main Thaqal (the Rolled up Universe / Skies)
and the Satellite Thaqal (Land of Judgment), as the
following verse says:

Soon shall We settle your affairs, O both ye

Heavy Masses (Thaqalani). Then which of the
favors of your Lord ye deny?‖
[Al Quran 55: 31–32]

The following is a supporting Hadith:

―The Land (Main Thaqal) will be squeezed and

beside it in another land (Satellite Thaqal / Land
of Judgment) mankind will be assembled for
Judgment‖ [Hadith, Tafsir-e-Mazhari]

Note: In my discussion, I always mean the 'Main Thaqal'

by the word 'Thaqal'. The 'Land of Judgment' is always
written as the 'Land of Judgment' or as the 'Land of Final
Judgment'.

269
5. Blow of Trumpet (Soor)

There will be several blows of Trumpet related to the

Dooms Day and Final Judgment. The blows are discussed
below:

5a. Step-1 of the First Blow

The First Blow of the Trumpet (Step 1 of the First Blow)

will begin in the present universe, causing the Earth and
the other Solar Planets to be thrown off their orbits:

―Then when the first blast is sounded on the

Trumpet, and the Earth is thrown off and its
mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one
stroke.‖ [Al Quran 69: 13–14]

The planets and moons will fall into the Sun, where
they will be crushed into powder by colliding with one
another.

―When the sun is warped up; When the stars fall,

losing their luster‖ [81:1-2]

The matter of the Solar System will be wrapped in

something, possibly a force field. The stars will fall.
All living creatures in the universe will die, including
the jinn and angels. Angel Israfil (the Angel of the
Trumpet) will die at last, and the blow (Step-1 of the First
Blow) will cease.

270
 Eventually, the universe will be rolled up to the
extreme degree and will fall into the Face of God (His
face of Nafs) as Commands (Forces / Information).

―And call not besides God on another god. There

is no god but He. Everything will perish except
His own Face. To Him belongs the Command,
and to Him will ye be brought back.‖
[Al Quran 28:88]

5b. Step-2 of the First Blow

Subsequently, the universe will collapse and then be

resurrected to the state of Thaqal (Heavy Mass), at which
point the living creatures will also be resurrected.

(After Israfil and others will be resurrected) The Trumpet

will be sounded (Step-2 of the First Blow), when all that are
in the Skies and Lands will faint, except such as it will please
God. Then will a Second One be sounded (Second Blow)
when, behold, they will be standing and looking on!

Remarks on Final Judgment Continued

Above verse is talking about two blows. Those are:

a. Step-2 of the First Blow
b. The Second Blow
Immediately after the resurrection, Angel Israfil will
begin blowing the Trumpet again. This blow is a
continuation of the First Blow, because, after dying while
blowing the Trumpet, Israfil will resume blowing it as
soon as he will be revived, even after a long time. So, I
271
refer to this blow as 'Step 2 of the First Blow.' All
resurrected creatures will faint due to this blow.
The verse refers to the Skies and Lands (the present
universe) when discussing 'Step 2 of the First Blow,' as it
mentions all the creatures that lived in the Skies and
Lands. Moreover, the blow began when the Skies and
Lands still existed.
The resurrected humans will faint due to the
tremendous sound of the Trumpet (Step 2 of the First
Blow). The matter of the Solar System will be ejected
from the Thaqal. Piles of solar matter, carrying the
fainted living creatures, will flow through the Super
Space like clouds. These flying piles of matter will come
together at the Junction Point of As-Sirat and form the
Land of Judgment, safely away from the Thaqal.

―You see the mountains and think them firmly

fixed, but they shall be moving as the clouds—the
artistry of God who disposes of all things in
perfect order; for He is well acquainted with all
that ye do‖ [Al Quran 27: 88]

The sound (Step 2 of the First Blow) will make the

Land of Judgment level and smooth. It will appear as a
white disc floating in the Super Space. According to the
Hadith, if an egg is placed at the center of the Land, it
will be visible from the edge.

―They ask thee concerning the mountains, say:

―My Lord will uproot them and scatter them as
dust. He will leave them as plains smooth and

272
 level. Nothing crooked or curved will thou see in
their place.‖‖ [Al Quran 20: 105–107]

The atmosphere on the Land of Judgment will be

pure, with atmospheric pressure within a bearable limit.
The gravity of the Land of Judgment will be such that
people will be able to move comfortably. Furthermore,
there will be water in the Kawthar.

―To thee have We granted the Kawthar.

Therefore, to thy Lord turn in prayer and sacrifice.
For he who hates thee, He will be cut off‖
[Al Quran 108:1–3]

The universal angels and jinns will also be resurrected

at the points of their death in the Thaqal. They will move
to the Land of Judgment after its formation. They will not
need to travel with the solar matter, as they are capable of
flying.

―The angels and the ruhs ascend unto him in a

Day. The measure where of is fifty.‖
[Al Quran70: 4]

It will be difficult to bring some evil jinn, especially

the Chief Satan (Iblis), who will be hiding deep into the
Thaqal.

5c. The Second Blow of the Trumpet

The blow that is called 'Second One' in the verse under

discussion is the 'Second Blow':
273
 ―The Trumpet will be sounded (Step-2 of the First
Blow) when all that are in the Skies and Lands
will faint, except such as it will please God. Then
will a Second One (Second Blow) be sounded
when, behold, they will be standing and looking
on!‖ [Al Quran 39:68]

After the Resurrection, Israfil will blow the Trumpet

twice:
 The Step-2 of the First Blow will make the people
unconscious due to violent sound. It will make the
Land of Judgment smooth by the extreme
vibration.
 The Second Blow (Second One) will make the
people conscious.
The time between two blows is forty. The time is
supposed to be short:

Hadith: ―Time between two blows of Trumpet is

forty. Sahabah said, ‗Is it forty days?‘ Prophet
(pbuh) said, ‗I do not agree‘. Sahabah again said,
‗Is it forty years?‘ Prophet said, ‗I do not agree‘.
Sahabah again said, ‗Is it forty months?‘ Prophet
said, ‗I do not agree‘.‖ [Bukhari]

The Second Blow will not be intense. After the

Second Blow, the Final Judgment will begin.

―The angels and the ruhs ascend unto him in a

Day. The measure where of is fifty (thousand
years?).‖ [Al Quran70: 4]
274
 So, the Day may be fifty thousand earthly years long,
but to the Believers, it will feel like the time between the
Zuhr and Asr prayers:

Hadith: ―To the Believers, the Day will be like the

time between Zuhr and Asar prayer.‖
[Tafsir-e-Mareful Quran]

6. Amal-Nama

The Amal-Nama is a book of records, where one‘s deeds

are written. Two angels, Kiraman and Katibin, are
assigned to each individual to record their actions.

―And certainly, We created man and We know

what whispers to him (into) his soul (nafs), and
We are nearer to him than jugular vein. When
receives, the two receive; on the right and on the
left, seated. Not he utters any word but with him
an observer ready.‖ [Al Quran 50:16-18]

The Amal-Nama is preserved in Illiyin or Sijjin after

a person's death.
After the Resurrection, two angels will be appointed
to each person: one will guide him to the Land of
Judgment and beyond, while the other will carry the
record of his deeds (Amal-Nama).

―And there will come forth every soul; with each

will be an (angel) to drive and an (angel) to bear
witness (Amal-Nama)‖ [Al Quran 50:21]
275
 The Amal-Nama will be given to a person in his left
or right hand so that others can see it, and it can be used
for the Judgment.
However, the Amal-Nama is not a complete record of
one's life. Many sins are not recorded in it. If a person
commits a sin but then performs a good deed or repents,
the sin may not be written.

7. Resurrection and Rebooting the Brain

The nafs is the main soul of a person. A nafs is a

combination of unknown force fields. It is given soon
after fertilization. A nafs grows and takes shape as a baby
grows.
The human body is like a mold, and the nafs is like a
cast. The nafs is shaped and imprinted with the
information of physical development, becoming a
program of creation.
A person can be recreated with the programmed nafs
and a set double-helix DNA molecules (46) collected
from the remains of his earthly body.

―What! When we die and become dust that is a

return far! We already know how much of them
the earth takes away; with Us is a Record
Guarding‖ [Al Quran 50: 3–4]

The above verses mention two things with which a

human will be recreated: one is 'something that the earth
does not take away,' and the other is the 'Record
Guarding.'
276
 What is the thing that the earth does not take away? It
is the double-helix DNA molecule. A DNA molecule can
survive in nature for several hundred thousand years. A
complete set of DNA molecules (46 chromosomes) is
enough to recreate a human. Some scientists believe that
one day they may be able to recreate dinosaurs using the
DNA found in their fossilized eggs.
The required number of DNA molecules for each
person is preserved by Allah in natural storage:

―It is He Who has produced you from a Soul

Single (Nafsin-Wahidatin / GUT Force +); here is
a place of dwelling and storage; We detail Our
signs for people who understand.‖
[Al Quran 6:98]

However, a complete set of DNA molecules alone

cannot create a human; the soul (nafs) is also necessary.
A zygote placed into a test tube under the most favorable
conditions does not form a perfect physique. There is
nothing inherently special in a mother‘s womb.
Allah shapes the human body in the mother‘s womb
because the nafs is raw at that stage and cannot assist in
the formation of body. However, once the nafs is fully
developed during the formation of the body in the
mother‘s womb, it gets programmed to assist the genome
in forming the body at the time of resurrection.
A human will be recreated with a set of double-helix
DNA molecules (46) taken from his earthly body,
ensuring he cannot deny being the same person who
committed the sins.

277
 On the Day of Resurrection, a set of double-helix
DNA molecules will be attached to the nafs. These DNA
molecules will form the first cell, which will then
multiply by absorbing suitable substances from the
surroundings. Thus, a human will grow like a plant.

―It is He Who sends the winds like heralds of glad

tidings, going before His mercy, when they have
carried the heavy-laden clouds. We drive them to
a land that is dead; make rain to descend thereon
and produce every kind of harvest therewith, thus
We shall raise up the dead so that you may
remember.‖ [Al Quran 7:57]

Otherwise, the cells of plants and animals are similar.

If a plant can grow on the earth, why can't an animal? The
function of 98% of DNA is still unknown and is often
referred to as 'junk DNA.' Perhaps it has the ability to
form a cell and resurrect the body.
The nafs of a human is a combined force field,
designed and programmed to resurrect and sustain the
body. It can survive extreme heat and violence.
Therefore, a resurrected human will not die; his nafs will
regenerate the body whenever suitable matter is available.
The nafs does not perform the role of a DNA
molecule, nor does a DNA molecule perform the role of
the nafs. They work together to form a body perfectly.
Moreover, a human without a nafs would resemble a
robot, lacking emotions.
The brain of a resurrected human suffers memory loss
because the DNA molecules or nafs do not preserve the
data of memory—such as the memories gained from life,
278
education, and experience. Therefore, the memory data
must be fed into the brain of a resurrected person:

―What! When we die and become dust that is a

return far! We already know how much of them
the earth takes away; With Us is a Record
Guarding.‖ [Al Quran 50: 3–4]

The Record Guarding, mentioned in the above verse,

preserves the complete memory data collected every
night when a person sleeps. This is stated in the following
verse:

―It is He who does take your souls by night and

has knowledge of all that you have done by day;
by day does He raise you up again that a term
appointed be fulfilled. In the end, unto Him will
be your return. Then He will show you the truth of
all that you did‖ [Al Quran 6:60]

The angels collect the memory data and deposit it in

the server of the Command Station (discussed in Section-
9 of Chapter-6). From the Command Station, the data are
sent to the Lawh-Mahfuz, where they are preserved in
one‘s file. It functions like a multidimensional video
record of each day (from sleep to sleep). Ironically,
however, one‘s own eyes, ears, and brain act as CCTV,
holding the one‘s account for the Judgment!
The Amal-Nama (Record of Deeds) will primarily be
used for Judgment, while the Memory-Data will be used
solely to feed the memory in the brain of a resurrected
person. However, the Lawh-Mahfuz is located in the
279
Arsh, and on the Day of Judgment, the Arsh will be near.
For some great sinners, the Book (Lawh-Mahfuz) will be
opened:

―And the Book (Lawh-Mahfuz) will be placed,

and thou will see the sinful in great terror because
of what is therein. They will say, "Ah! Woe to us!
What a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or
great but takes account thereof!" They will find all
that they did placed before them, and not one will
thy Lord treat with injustice.‖ [Al Quran 18:49]

The data of virtual life will not be fed into the brain.
As a result, a man will forget the virtual life he will have
experienced in Illiyin or Sijjin, just as we have forgotten
the oath we took in our past virtual lives (discussed in
Section 9 of Chapter 6).
A jinni mounting on a man deforms the nafs of that
man. At the time of death, the nafs gets hardened in devil-
human shape, size, and program. So, the person will
resurrect in devil-human shape. He will be recognizable
only by his marks. He will be suitable to interact with the
jinns—he will not be a complete human. He will fail to
prostrate himself before God.
Satan jinns cannot mount on the worshippers of one
God; they can whisper only. The angels guard the
worshippers of one God:

―He is the Irresistible from above over His

worshippers, and He sets guardians (angels) over
you. At length, when death approaches one of

280
 you, Our angels take his soul (nafs), and they
never fail in their duty.‖ [Al Quran 6:61]

How a satan jinn mounts on a human and deforms his

nafs is deliberately discussed in Section-10 of Chapter-6.
The marshaling for the Judgment is discussed below:

8. Major Safayat

The Land of Judgment will be a temporary entity. Soon it

will merge with the Thaqal, as it (Thaqal) will restart
unrolling / evolving. It will be hot; everybody will be
sweating.
Many will recognize the Day. People will start
seeking for salvation. They will go to Prophet Adam,
Noah, Abraham, Musa, Isa and other Prophets one after
another. But, none will request Allah for the Judgment.
Finally, people will come to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
He will pray for the Judgment and Salvation.

9. Marshaling for the Judgment

Allah will accept the prayer for Judgment and Salvation.

Then the marshaling will start. The angels will come and
stand in lines.
A Field Court will be established by placing a
Balance.
Allah will come for the Judgment. All will be ordered
to prostrate before Him as soon as His shin will be
visible. But, Unbelievers will fail:

281
 ―The Day that the Shin shall be laid bare, and they
shall be summoned to bow in adoration, but they
shall not be able; their eyes will be cast down;
ignominy will cover them seeing that they had
been summoned aforetime to bow in adoration,
while they were complete‖ [Al Quran 68: 42–43]

9a. The Jannaat will be brought Near

The Jannaat will be brought close to the Land of

Judgment in an orderly fashion. The planets/objects of the
Jannaat will not destroy each other by collision.

―When the sky is removed (closed into the

Thaqal), when the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce
heat (the Thaqal igniting and preparing for re-
initiation) and when the Jannaat is brought near
each soul shall know what it has put forward.‖
[Al Quran 81: 11-14]

FIGURE 39.3: Barzakh

282
 The Jannaat will be brought near, but it will stay
beyond the Barzakh. The Barzakh will be thin at that
time, but it will be impassible.
Most likely, the Barzakh is a space that does not
support matter, making this absolutely clear. During the
Miraj, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was able to observe
the objects of Jannaat from the Seventh Sky. It is evident
that light can pass through the Barzakh.

9c. The Hell will be Kindled

At the time of Judgment, the Objects of Hell will be in

the Thaqal in a compact state. The angels will tie the
Thaqal with the chains and will pull it near the Land of
Judgment.
The un-rolling of the Thaqal will remain halted till the
end of Judgment, but the contracted galaxies in the
Thaqal (Objects of Hell) will be kindled to fierce heat.
They will start producing fire.

―When the Sky is scraped (kushitat / the Thaqal

scraped in a way to halt the evolution
temporarily); When the Blazing Fire is kindled to
fierce heat‖ [Al Quran 81: 11-12]

Some of the sparks produced in the Thaqal will be

thrown onto the Land of Judgment, and the fire will
spread around the people. It will feel as though all of
mankind is about to be consumed by the fire.
Some of the living creatures of Hell will also enter the
Land of Judgment. It is narrated in the Hadith that a large
snake will appear; it will frighten the people.
283
9d. Araf, As-Sirat (the Paths), and Sidratul-Muntaha

There are channels and sub-channels running through the

super space and other realms to connect the universes,
such as the Samawaat, Araf, Jannaat, and their associated
objects.
In addition, Araf and Sidratul-Muntaha also play roles
in transferring people to the Jannaat, as discussed below:

9d-I. Araf

―Araf‖ means ―Elevated Land‖. The Land is elevated

above the Samawaat and the Jannaat.
The Araf is located in the high Barzakh, but its
eastern part (East Araf) is extended into the Eastern Super
Space, and western part (West Araf) is extended into the
Western Super Space. The East Araf and the West Araf is
separated by an impassible Veil.

FIGURE 39.4: Araf and As-Sirat

284
9d-II. Pair of Channels

In the Night Journey (Miraz), Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

saw a pair of channels from the Seventh Sky, which was
coming down from the Araf. The accompanying angel
referred to them as the 'Channel of Light' and the
'Channel of Darkness.' According to the Hadith, another
pair of channels connects the Western Araf with the
Jannaat.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) entered the Eastern Araf
through one of these channels.
The same pair of channels will connect the Land of
Judgment with the East Araf, as shown in the figure
above.
Another pair of channels connect the Jannaat with the
West Araf.
Humans will move through the channel of darkness.
So, they will require lights moving with them:

―One Day shalt thou see the believing men and

the believing women- how their Light runs
forward before them and by their right hands:
Good News for you this Day! Jannaat beneath
which flow rivers! to dwell therein for aye! This is
indeed the highest Achievement!"
[Al Quran 57:12]

The Channel of Light is meant for the angels and ruhs

(commands/information); it is not suitable for humans.
As-Sirat will be comfortable and safe for some
people, while for others, it will be dark, narrow, and
treacherous. People will cross As-Sirat at different
285
speeds; some will cross at the speed of light, while others
will move more slowly. The last person to cross As-Sirat
successfully will require twenty-five thousand earthly
years.
Those whose good deeds outweigh their sins will
enter the Jannaat.
Those whose sins and good deeds are equal will be
halted at the Araf by Sidratul-Muntaha. They will be
taken into the Jannaat later.

―Between them shall be a veil, and on the Araf

will be men who would know everyone by his
marks. They will call out to the Companions of
the Jannaat, "Peace on you". They will not have
entered, but they will have an assurance.‖
[Al Quran 7:46]

9d-III. Sidratul-Muntaha

The Sidratul-Muntaha hangs from the Arsh above the

Araf. It has two branches: one branch connects to the East
Araf, and the other connects to the West Araf.
The Sidratul-Muntaha is controlled by the CCU
located in the Arsh. It is based on a massive server and
functions as a passage for both matter and information. It
monitors the passage of everything through
instrumentation and serves as the central communication
hub for the universes.
Some people will be deemed unsuitable for Jannaat
according to the logic of the CCU, as their good deeds
and sins are equal. As a result, the Sidratul-Muntaha will
not allow their passage through it to the Jannaat. They
286
will be permitted to enter the Jannaat later when Allah
will issue the command for clearance.
[The CCU (Central Computer of the Universes) is
discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6].
It should be noted that the channels of the Cybernetic
System, discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6, will form
As-Sirat on the Day of Judgment.

9d-IV. Seven Paths (Channels through Space)

The Thaqal will be connected to the Land of Judgment by

Seven Paths.

―Again, on the Day of Judgment, will ye be raised

up. And We have made above you Seven Paths,
and We are never unmindful of creation.‖
[Al Quran 23:16-17]

After the Judgment, the Thaqal will evolve into

Samawaat (Skies), with each of the Seven Paths
revitalizing and connecting directly to a Sky through the
Axis of the Universe.

FIGURE 39.5: Seven Paths

287
 The paths will have gates on the Land of Judgment. In
front of these gates, there will be reception enclosures,
guarded by angels.
The sinners, whose sins will outweigh their good
deeds, will be driven into the enclosures after the
Judgment. Subsequently, the sinners will be driven into
the paths that will guide them to the designated Skies,
while the sub-paths will lead them to their assigned
objects of Hell (galaxies).
The sinners will be allowed to rest in the enclosures
for some time when they utterly repent.

And the Land will shine with the glory of its Lord, the
record will be placed, the Prophets and the witnesses will be
brought forward, and a just decision pronounced between
them, and they will not be wronged. And to every soul will
be paid in full of its deeds, and (God) knows best all that they
do.

Remarks of Final Judgment Continued:

10. The Judgment

Allah will address the complaints; even an animal without

horns will be given the opportunity to take revenge
against an animal with horns. All oppressors will be dealt
with severely:

―When the souls are sorted out; when the female

buried alive is questioned: ―For what crime she
was killed?‖‖ [Al Quran 81:7-9]
288
 Allah will select the people for salvation with utmost
mercy and forgiveness. Even the smallest good deed will
be taken into account, and many major sins will be
forgiven.

10a. Arrival of Allah on the Land of Judgment

On the Day of Judgment, Allah will be visible. People

will see Him clearly.

―It is narrated by Abu Hurairah: Once a few

people asked, ‗Oh Prophet (pbuh), will we see
Allah on the Day of Judgment?‘ To answer,
Prophet (pbuh) said, ‗In a cloudless full moon
night, do you find any obstruction to see the
Moon?‘ They said, ‗No, Oh Prophet (pbuh)‘.
Prophet (pbuh) again said, ‗In a cloudless clear
sky do you find any obstruction to see the Sun?‘
Everybody said, ‗No, Oh Prophet‘. Then Prophet
(pbuh) said, ‗On the day of Judgment, exactly in
this way you will see Allah, without any
obstruction‖ [Bukhari]

According to the Hadith, initially, Allah will appear

on the Day of Judgment as a normal human being, but
people will refuse to accept Him as Allah. Therefore, He
will leave and return later ceremonially, after the
marshalling for the Judgment.
The Land of Judgment will be in the hand of Allah. It
is the hand of His nafs. The hand of nafs is invisible to
our eyes because the force fields are invisible. But, 'Allah
289
in form' will appear on the Land of Judgment. 'He in
form' will be visible, like a human [Allah is discussed in
Chapter-1].
At present, 'Allah in form' resides in the Arsh. He is
not approachable because the universes are sustained and
evolved by Him through extremely powerful force fields
extended from His nafs, permeating His body in form. He
sustains and evolves this universe (Samawaat) with the
right hand of His nafs, while sustaining the Arsh with the
left hand of His nafs. Each hand of the nafs comprises 15
to 30 force fields. Some of the force fields of His nafs
may also extend through His face and chest in form.
Therefore, at present, Allah is sustaining and evolving the
universes with extreme power and light radiating from
His 'body in form'. The radiating power and light make
Him (He in form) unapproachable.
But on the Day of Judgment, the universe (Samawaat)
will be rolled up in His right hand (hand of nafs) into a
compact state, and its evolution will be temporarily halted
for the duration of the Judgment. The Arsh will also be
compacted without crushing its shape or structure. The
Arsh will come close over the heads of the resurrected
people. At that time, eight angels will bear the Arsh to
prevent it from falling onto Araf, Thaqal, or Land of
Judgment. Therefore, the powers radiating from Him will
be diminished on the Day of Judgment, making Him
approachable and appearing like a human.

10b. The Balance of Judgment

Our sins and good deeds will be measured by a balance.

How will this balance look like?
290
 When we think about Allah, we should strive to
comprehend His level of intelligence, elegance, and
abilities. He has created our eyes, ears, hearts, and brains;
He has created the DNA code and the living cell; He has
created the perfectly fine-tuned universes, and the mighty
CCU (Central Computer of the Universes, as described in
Section-9 of Chapter-6).
Our memory data are collected every night by the
angels and deposited in our files in the CCU. Thus, the
CCU possesses the complete record of our thoughts
throughout our lives, as the following verse indicates:

―It is He who does take your souls by night and

has knowledge of all that you have done by day;
by day does He raise you up again that a term
appointed be fulfilled. In the end, unto Him will
be your return. Then He will show you the truth of
all that you did‖ [Al Quran 6:60]

On the other hand, there are two angels, Kiraman and

Katibin, sitting on our shoulders. One writes down our
good deeds, and the other writes down our bad deeds.

It was We Who created man, and We know what

dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We
are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.
Behold, two (angels) appointed to learn, one
sitting on the right and one on the left. Not a word
does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready.
And the trance of death will bring Truth: "This
was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!"
[Al Quran 50:16-19]
291
The dark suggestions of a man's soul are recorded in the
CCU as brain data. In addition, the events (both good and
bad) of his life are recorded by two angels: "Not a word
does he utter but there is a sentinel by him." The angels
present the records during the trance of death and later
deposit them in Illiyin or Sijjin. Illiyin and Sijjin are
based in servers connected to the CCU. So, the records go
to the CCU.
The CCU compares the records kept by angels,
Kiraman and Katibin, with the individual's brain-data,
from which intentions can be known. If a man has done a
bad deed, but his intention was good, then the CCU may
transfer the bad deed into the list of good deeds, or may
put it into the list of neutral events. This cannot be done
by the angels (Kiraman and Katibin) appointed to learn
and write the records, because they cannot know the
intention. Therefore, the CCU makes the final report of a
dead person before he is put into Illiyin or Sijjin.
The final decision of putting a man in Illiyin or Sijjin
is given by Allah. Soon after the death of a man, his nafs
(soul) is developed with his virtual body, and he is
produced before Allah. Allah talks to him and gives the
final decision.
On the Day of Judgment, the final report, produced by
the CCU, will be presented for judgment through the
balance. The CCU will weigh the deeds. A balance would
be like a booth of electronic equipment connected to the
CCU. There may be many such booths on the Land of
Judgment.
The CCU will convince a person through a booth that
the report of the person‘s deeds is accurate. If the person
292
denies committing a sin, a video of the sin (extracted
from his brain data) will be played before him in the
booth.

―And the Book (Lawh-Mahfuz) will be placed,

and thou will see the sinful in great terror because
of what is therein. They will say, "Ah! Woe to us!
What a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or
great but takes account thereof!" They will find all
that they did placed before them, and not one will
thy Lord treat with injustice.‖ [Al Quran 18:49]

Initially, a person will receive a record of deeds

through an angel in his right hand or left hand. The record
of deeds will be produced by the CCU. He will then
proceed to a booth of the balance, accompanied by a long
line of angels who assisted him throughout his life. There
will be no way in the booth to deny a report produced by
the CCU, as it is a highly developed system with
extensive data collection and interpretation abilities.
Giving the record of deeds in the right or left hand is
a sign. The CCU cannot issue the verdict of paradise or
hell. A person will be placed before Allah for the verdict.
Allah can do or undo anything He wills. He is not bound
by any law.

―And everyone of them will come to Him singly

on the Day of Judgment. On those who believe
and work deeds of righteousness, will Most
Gracious bestow love. [Al Quran 19:95-96]

293
10c. The CD (Compact Disc)

On the Day of Judgment, the planet Earth will be like a

readable CD (Compact Disc), as Allah will give it design
and inspiration. It will be played on the Land of
Judgment, revealing everything that occurred on the Earth
in a particular time and space, as the following verses
indicate:

―When the earth is shaken to her convulsion,

And the earth throws up her burdens,
And man cries: 'What is the matter with her?'
On that Day will she (earth) declare her
tidings:
For that thy Lord will have given her
inspiration.
On that Day will men proceed in companies
sorted out, to be shown the deeds that they (had
done).
Then shall anyone who has done an atom's
weight of good, see it!
And anyone who has done an atom's weight of
evil, shall see it.
[Al Quran 99:1-8]

It will be effective in completing a larger event, such

as a battle that took place in a particular area. It will allow
individual acts, retrieved from the memory data, to be
integrated into the larger event.

294
 There will be no way to hide any fact. The space
containing the forces and energies bears the record of
everything; it is like a written scroll (or a recorded CD).

―On that Day no question will be asked of man or

Jinn as to his sin. Then which of the favours of
your Lord will ye deny?‖ [Al Quran 55:39-40]

According to the Hadith, the Earth will be

transformed into bread and eaten by those destined for
Jannaat.
Finally, anyone who had faith in one God, believed in
the Last Day, and performed righteous deeds will be
allowed to enter Jannaat, as the following Verse and
Hadith state:

―Those who believe, and those who follow the

Jewish, and the Christians and the Sabians,- any
who believe in God and the Last Day, and work
righteousness, shall have their reward with their
Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they
grieve.‖ [Al Quran 2:62]

Hadith: ―On the Day of Final Judgment, Allah

will assemble whole mankind. Then Allah will
say, ‗People will follow whom they worshipped;
he must go with him‘. Accordingly, those who
used to worship the Sun, they will be compelled
to follow the Sun, which means that they will be
compelled to go there where the Sun will reach.
Those who used to worship the Moon, they will
be compelled to follow the Moon; those who used
295
 to worship different idols, they will be compelled
to follow the idols, which means that they will be
compelled to go there where the idols will reach.‖
[Bukhari]

11. Moving to the Final Destinations

After the Judgment, each individual will begin his

journey to his destination in the Samawaat or Jannaat.
Each will be accompanied by a guiding angel from the
point of resurrection to his final destination.

―And there will come forth every soul; with each

will be an (angel) to drive and an (angel) to bear
witness (Amal-Nama)‖ [Al Quran 50:21]

The Unbelievers will be led to Hell in crowd until when

they arrive there its gates will be opened, and its keepers will
say, "Did not apostles come to you from among yourselves
rehearsing to you the verses of your Lord, and warning you
of the meeting of this Day of yours?" The answer will be:
"True, but the decree of punishment has been proved true
against the Unbelievers!" Will be said: "Enter ye the gates of
hell to dwell therein, and evil is abode of the arrogant!"

Remarks of Final Judgment Continued:

To receive the residents of hell, the channels (seven

paths), connecting the Thaqal, will have reception
enclosures on the Land of Judgment. The angels will
guard the enclosures.

296
 The channels will lead the people into the Thaqal that
will ultimately unfold the objects of hell (galaxies).
The universe (Thaqal) will not be satisfied with a
small number of people; it will demand more. Three
times, humans will be thrown into the Thaqal (universe),
yet it will not be satisfied. To satisfy it, Allah will place
His leg into the universe. Then it will be satisfied, and
one part of it will be squeezed against another part.

―After the Judgment, a group of people will be

thrown into the hell (Samawaat / this Universe),
and the hell will be asked, ‗Is she satisfied?‘ The
hell will say, ‗Are there any more?‘ Then another
group will be thrown into the hell, and the hell
will be asked, ‗Is it enough?‘ The hell will say,
‗Are there any more?‘ Then another group will be
thrown into the hell, and the hell will be asked, ‗Is
it enough?‘ The hell will say, ‗Are there any
more?‘ Then Allah will put His leg into the hell.
Then the hell will be satisfied and say, ‗enough,
enough, enough‘, and its one part will be
squeezed against another part‖ [Tirmizi]

This means that the people destined for Hell will not
be thrown in all at once. They will be gathered in the
enclosure of Seven Paths, leading to Thaqal. From there,
they will be thrown in groups. In the end, the Land of
Judgment will be cast into the evolving Thaqal:

Hadith: ―On the Day of Final Judgment, the Sun

and the Moon will be thrown into the hell‖
[Mashnad-i-Ahmed]
297
The Land of Judgment will be created from the matter of
the Solar System. Therefore, when it is said that 'the Sun
and the Moon will be thrown into Hell,' it means that the
Land of Judgment will be thrown into Hell. It will be cast
into the Thaqal, which will then be reviving violently,
causing the Skies to flare up the objects of Hell
(galaxies). Ultimately, the matter of the Solar System
(except the Earth) will rejoin the Milky Way galaxy.
Each human will reach his determined destination, as
each will be accompanied by a guiding angel from the
time of Resurrection.

12. Destination

From the Land of Judgment, a sinner will move to his

destination like a flying superman.

FIGURE 39.6: Dragged on Face

―The day they will be dragged through

the fire on their faces, ―Taste ye the
touch of hell …‖ [Al Quran 54:48-50]
298
 They will move through the Seven Paths. Each path
will connect a particular Sky directly. After reaching a
Sky, the guiding angels will lead them to their galaxies
through the sub-paths.
Finally, each human will fall into the galaxy assigned
to him on the Day of Judgment. That will be his final
destination—an immortal being left forever in a vast
object of the universe (Samawaat).
Though the speed of change will appear as an
explosion to us, each will reach his predetermined
destination—nothing ever goes beyond the control of
Allah.

―The day they will be dragged through the fire on

their faces, ―Taste ye the touch of hell!‖ Verily,
all things have We created in proportion and
measure. And Our command is but a single like
the twinkle of an eye‖‖ [Al Quran 54: 48–50]

The Land (Thaqal) will unfold, and the people of hell

will be caught by the black holes. The black holes are
points of absolute darkness:

Hadith: ―A Jew came to Prophet (pbuh) and

asked, ‗On the Day when the Land will be
changed, where the people will stay?‘ He (pbuh)
replied, ‗Inside a darkness near As-Sirat (in the
initially released Quasars that will form the
galaxies later).‖ [Muslim]

299
[The above Hadith does not mean that all Jews will go to
Hell. The Prophet (pbuh) was angry with the Jews of
Madinah because they knew he was the true Prophet of
God, but most of them did not support him. Their
opposition made the preaching of Islam difficult and put
the lives of Muslims at risk in certain situations. So, he
(pbuh) was merely expressing the other side of the story.
However, my explanation may be incorrect—it's better to
be a Muslim]
The halted Thaqal will restart rolling and release
many black holes with matter circling around them. Each
black hole will then produce an object, such as a quasar,
generating extreme heat. If a sinner, who owns a galaxy,
is fortunate, his galaxy may rapidly produce stars and
then planets.

"On the Day when the Skies will be rolling and

the mountains will pass on, flying. Then woe that
Day to those that treat as falsehood, that play in
shallow trifles, that Day shall they be thrust down
to the fire of hell, irresistibly.
―This‖, it will be said, "Is the Fire, which ye
were wont to deny! Is this then a fake, or is it ye
that do not see? Burn ye therein: the same is it to
you whether ye bear it with patience, or not: Ye
but receive the recompense of your deeds.""
[Al Quran 52:9-16]

However, in the initial days, he will be directly held

by the super-massive black hole of his galaxy.

300
 ―But he whose balance will be light, their mother
will be endless-hole (super-massive black hole).
And what will explain to thee what this is—a fire
blazing fiercely.‖ [Al Quran 101: 6–11]

The 'endless hole blazing with fierce fire' is nothing but a

super-massive black hole or quasar—the mother of a
sinner. Eventually, the galaxies will revive.
A man will be given a galaxy according to his deeds:

―We created not the Skies and Lands and all

between them (this universe) merely in sport. We
created them not except for just ends. But most of
them do not understand. Verily, the day of sorting
out is the time appointed for all of them.‖
[Al Quran 44: 38–40]

―Behold in the creation of the Skies and Lands

(this universe) and the alternation of night and
day; there are indeed signs for men of
understanding. Men who celebrate the praises of
Allah standing, sitting, and lying on their sides
and think on the creation in the Skies and Lands:
―Our Lord, not for naught hast Thou created this!
Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty
of the fire. Our Lord, any whom thou dost admit
to the fire, truly, Thou cover with shame, and
never will wrong doers find any helpers‖!‖
[Al Quran 3: 190–792]

―Allah created the Skies and Lands (this universe)

for just ends, and in order that each soul may find
301
 the recompense of what it has earned and none of
them be wronged.‖ [Al Quran 54: 22]

Eventually, each person in Hell (Samawaat / re-

created universe) will own a galaxy. In a galaxy, the
farther the distance from the central super-massive black
hole, the less hostile the nature becomes. A galaxy is
divided into seven regions according to the level of
hostility, and each region has an entry point (door).
Each galaxy has seven entry points (doors). However,
this does not mean that there will be more than one
person in a galaxy—each person will own one galaxy;
they will have no companion except the jinns.

―…And your abode is the fire, and no helpers

have ye!‖ [Al Quran 54: 34]

―…I will fill Hell with jinns and men all together‖
[Al Quran 11:119]

―…I will fill Hell with jinns and men all together‖
[Al Quran 32:13]

There are about 170 billion large galaxies in the visible

universe. Therefore, a large part of the universe
(Samawaat) will remain vacant. Allah will place His leg
into the universe, and thus, the universe will be filled and
satisfied.

302
 FIGURE 39.7: A Galaxy

The sinners will be forgotten, just as they forgot Allah

during their life on Earth.

―It will also be said: ―This Day We will forget

you, as ye forgot the meeting of this day of yours!
And your abode is the fire, and no helpers have
ye!‖ [Al Quran 54:34]

The hell-dwellers will be robust and strong. The body

of each hell-dweller will be compatible with the object
(an object from his galaxy) where they will reside.

Hadith: Abu Hurairah narrated that Prophet

(pbuh) said, ―Distance between two shoulders of a
Kafir will be three-day journey distance of a fast-
moving horse.‖ [Bukhari]

The distance covered by a fast-moving horse in three

days should be at least 90 kilometers. In proportion, the

303
person should be 300 kilometers tall. According to the
Hadith, his tooth will be as large as Mount Uhud.

FIGURE 39.8: Mount Uhud

Such a huge person should melt due to the intense heat of

his body. However, he will not melt, as his flesh and
bones will be different, and his nafs will be mature and
capable of sustaining him.
The nafs (soul) of a hell-dweller will be so strong and
dynamic that it will never be destroyed or changed
(except during the process of salvation, which will be
discussed later). However, their skins will burn, and the
burned skins will be replaced. The process of resurrection
through DNA molecules and nafs will remain effective
forever.
One‘s strong nafs will be able to keep one‘s body
functional whatever may be atmospheric pressure. On the
Earth, one inhales oxygen to produce heat in one‘s body.
In the hell, the external heat may keep one active.
However, people undergoing extreme punishment
will be caught between life and death.

―Who will enter the great fire, in which they will

then neither die nor live.‖ [Al Quran 87: 12–13]

304
 Note:

I have often referred to this universe (Samawaat) as

hell. However, the entire universe (Samawaat) is not
hell. There are objects within this universe that will be
given as rewards to the good jinns, and there are
exalted assemblies of universal angels. To a human,
certain objects in this universe will feel like hell.

And those who guard for the sake of their Lord will be led to
the Jannaat in crowds until, behold, they arrive there its gates
will be opened, and its keepers will say, "Peace be upon you!
Well have ye done! Enter ye here to dwell therein."
They will say: "Praise be to God Who has truly fulfilled
His promise to us and has given us lands in heritage; we can
dwell in the Jannaat as we will; how excellent a reward for
those who work."
And thou will see the angels surrounding the Arsh on all
sides singing glory and praise to their Lord. The decision
between them will be in justice, and the cry will be, "Praise
be to God, the Lord of the universes!"

Remarks of Final Judgment Continued

After the Judgment, the peaceful planets of Jannaat will

be distributed among its dwellers. Each individual may
become the owner of one, two, or more planets. They will
be granted such power that their verbal commands will be
instantly materialized. They will enjoy an endless life of
honor, pride, and joy.

305
13. Conclusion

To conclude, I want to elaborate the following points as

under.

13a. Humans as Vicegerents of God

Human beings are the vicegerents of Allah, but they are

under test and development on Earth. In this life, they are
not yet empowered as vicegerents. After the Final
Judgment, they will inherit their domains in the
Samawaat (this universe) or in the Jannaat (another
universe).
The people of the Jannaat will be powerful. Their
verbal orders will be materialized instantly. The animals
will obey their commands. If a person orders his river to
shift, it will shift then and there, because he is a
vicegerent of God.
The people of the Samawaat will not possess any
divine power. However, they will be given robust bodies
capable of survival. According to the Hadith, if a person
from Hell were placed in the fire of the Earth, he would
fall asleep due to the excessive comfort. They will be in
pain due to the extreme nature of their objects. A time
will come when a man in the Samawaat will gain
reasonable control over his galaxy through physical
means. There will be living creatures made of matter and
anti-matter, which they may learn to utilize.

―And He has subjected to you, as from Him, all

that is in the Skies and Lands (this universe),

306
 behold, in that are signs indeed for those who
reflect.‖ [Al Quran 45: 13]

―Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your

control all things in the Skies and Lands (this
universe) and has made His bounties flow to you
in full, seen and unseen. Yet there are among men
those who dispute about Allah without
knowledge, and without guidance, and without a
book to enlighten them!‖ [Al Quran 31:20]

The people in Hell will endure intense torments.

There will be poisonous snakes and insects. There will be
extreme fire surrounding them and surging hot water.
Their food will be fruits of Zukkum.
However, a human is not a creature meant to sit idle
and endure punishment forever. He is created as Asraful
Makhlukat (the best of creatures) and is the vicegerent of
Allah. A day may come when he will rule his galaxy with
dignity and power.

―Prophet (pbuh) said, ‗There is a place in the hell

called, Hub-Hub, where the mighty hell dwellers
will live‘‖ [Hadith]

So, there will be mighty people in the hell.

13b. Control of Fire

Although humans are the vicegerents of God, the angels

will remain in control of the fire.

307
 ―Soon will I cast him into hell-fire! And what will
explain to thee what hell-fire is? Naught doth it
permits to endure, and naught doth it leaves alone!
Darkening and changing the color of man! Over it
are Nineteen. And We have set none but angels as
guardians of the fire‖ [Al Quran 74: 26–31]

The black holes and the fire surrounding them will

remain under the control of the angels. The human of a
galaxy (a forgotten vicegerent of God) will never gain
control over them. However, humans will gain control
over other things, and the jinns will be their close
associates:

―If then they have patience, the Fire will be a

home for them! And if they beg to be received
into favor, into favor will they not be received.
And We have destined for them intimate
companions who made alluring to them what was
before them and behind them, and the sentence
among the previous generations of jinns and men
who have passed away is proved against them; for
they are utterly lost.‖ [Al Quran 41: 24-25]

13c. Form the hell to the Jannaat

Many humans will be forgiven during the Judgment, and

in later times, many others will be saved from Hell.

308
13cI. Salvation through Second Death

Some people will be rescued from Hell through the

Second Death:

―They will say: "Our Lord! Twice has Thou made

us without life, and twice has Thou given us Life!
Now have we recognized our sins; is there any
way out?
This is because, when God was invoked as the
Only, ye did reject Faith, but when partners were
joined to Him (in form of Trinity) ye believed!
The Command is with God, Most High, Most
Great!"
[Al Quran 40: 11-12]

―He looked down (from the Jannaat) and saw him

in the midst of the Fire. He said: "By God! Thou
were little short of bringing me to perdition! Had
it not been for the grace of my Lord, I should
certainly have been among those brought (there)!
Is it that we shall not die, except our First Death,
and that we shall not be punished?‖ Verily, this is
the supreme achievement! [Al Quran 37: 55-60]

The people thrown into hell associated partners with

God, which allowed the satanic jinns to mount on them.
These mounted jinns deformed their nafses. Their nafses
will be purified by the intense fire of Hell, and after the
Second Death, they will be resurrected in their proper
forms. The nafs is a combination of unknown force fields,
and it requires immense heat for transformation and
309
correction. The process of changing the nafs through fire
is known as the Second Death.
The Second Death is also mentioned in the Holy
Bible as punishment by fire:

―Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake

of fire. This is the Second Death, the lake of fire.‖
[Revelation 20:14, Holy Bible]

―But for the cowardly and unbelieving and

abominable and murderers and immoral persons
and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part
will be in the lake that burns with fire and
brimstone, which is the Second Death.‖
[Revelation 21:8, Holy Bible]

―He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit
says to the churches. He who overcomes will not
be hurt by the Second Death.‖
[Revelation 2:11, Holy Bible]

―Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the

first resurrection; over these the Second Death has
no power, but they will be priests of God and of
Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand
years.‖ [Revelation 20:6, Holy Bible]

An idolater is supposed to remain in Hell forever, but

some are being salvaged to Jannaat through the Second
Death. These are primarily Christians who believed in
one God, but also regarded Jesus as the Son of God or
God in the flesh, and/or believed in the Trinity, as
310
indicated in the above verses say: ―This is because, when
God was invoked as the Only, ye did reject Faith, but
when partners were joined to Him ye believed!‖
Initially, God was preached in Rome as the only God,
but the response was minimal. However, after a few
hundred years, when Jesus was declared the Son of God,
many people began to believe. Subsequently, the concept
of the Trinity developed.

13cII. Salvation of sinful Muslims

The Hadith does not mention the Second Death because

sinful Muslims will have a different path to salvation
from Hell:
After some time, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) will
remember his sinful followers in Hell. He will pray to
Allah, and Allah will grant him permission to bring them
out. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has the means to visit the
Samawaat (through Burak and Raf Raf). He will
personally rescue his followers who bear the marks of
wudu.
They will not need the Second Death because they did
not associate partners with God. So, the satan jinns could
not mount on them, and their nafses were not deformed.
They went to Hell for committing grave sins, such as
murder, oppression, and so on.

311
13cIII. Eternal Hell

A time will come when 'death' will be slaughtered in the

Barzakh, and thereafter, no one will be rescued. The great
sinners will remain in Hell forever.

―They will dwell therein for all the time that the
‗Skies and Lands‘ (this universe) endures, except
as thy Lord wills; for thy Lord is the accomplisher
of what He plans…‖ [Al Quran 7: 40]

In above verse, ―They will dwell therein for all the time
that the ‗Skies and Lands‘ endures…‖ means ―all the
time the third cycle of the universe will endure‖. See
figure below:

FIGURE 39.9: Forth Cycle

The universe in the third cycle is considered to be

Hell. This cycle will end, possibly 10 to 20 billion years
after its beginning.
The universe of the third cycle will collapse into
another Big Crunch (Big Crunch-2), and eventually, the
fourth cycle may begin. In the fourth cycle, only the jinns
312
may reside in the universe; no humans will remain there.
All humans will be taken to Jannaat, as the following
verse mentions:

―To those who reject Our signs and treat them

with arrogance, no opening will be there of the
gates of the Skies (this universe), nor will they
enter the Jannaat until the camel can pass through
the eye of the needle; for those in sin.‖
[Al Quran 7: 40]

The 'passing of a camel through the eye of a needle' is

a parable, resembling the passage of matter through a
black hole. A supermassive black hole would take
billions of years to devour all the matter in a galaxy.
However, in the context of the above verse, it symbolizes
the passage of the universe through the Big Crunch-2 (see
figure above). The Big Crunch can be viewed as a
supermassive black hole.
From the Big Crunch-2, the universe will be revived,
and the fourth cycle will begin. At the start of the fourth
cycle, there will be a Day of Law when every human may
be shifted to Jannaat, or some other action may be taken
for their salvation.
However, the Quran does not mention the fourth
cycle, except to state that the third cycle will end: ―They
will dwell therein for all the time that the Skies and Lands
endures…‖
A similar kind of ending is also mentioned in relation
to Jannaat:

313
 ―And those who are blessed shall be in the
Jannaat: They will dwell therein for all the time
that the 'Skies and Lands' endures, except as thy
Lord willeth: a gift without break.‖
[Al Quran 11:108]

Allah may establish a new order at the end of the third

cycle. However, we have two terms, and a term must end:

―He it is Who created you from tinin (genome

code), and then decreed a stated term. And there is
in His presence another determined term; yet ye
doubt within yourselves!‖ [Al Quran 6:2]

There is no point in discussing what will happen after

the Third Cycle, about 20 billion years later.

13cIV. Animals

All creatures will be resurrected, and there will be no

death after resurrection, except for the salvation of some
humans.
The Hadith says that the animals will be merged with
the earth after the Final Judgment, meaning they will be
released into the Thaqal. Subsequently, the animals will
be scattered across the galaxies. They will be robust and
they will not be in pain.

14. Summary

The universe (Samawaat) will collapse and then be

revived. The Resurrection of the Dead will occur in the
314
revived initial universe. The Final Judgment will take
place on a specially created land. After the Judgment, the
Believers will be transferred to another universe called
Jannaat, while the sinners will be scattered across the
galaxies of the re-created universe. These galaxies will
serve as the objects of Hell.

FIGURE 39.10: The Un-Rolling Universe

An individual will be given a vast object of Jannaat or

an entire galaxy from the Samawaat (this universe). He
will live there forever as an empowered and honored
vicegerent of Allah.

―Soon shall We settle your affairs, O both ye

Thaqalani (Two Heavy Masses). Then which of
the favors of your Lord ye deny?

315
 O ye assemble of jinns and men! If it be ye
can pass beyond the zones of the Skies and Lands
(this universe), pass ye! Not without authority
shall ye be able to pass! Then which of the favors
of your Lord will ye deny?
On you will be sent a flame of fire and a
smoke; no defense will ye have. Then which of
the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
When the Sky (Collapsed Universe / Thaqal)
is split (into two Thaqals), and it (main Thaqal)
becomes red like red hide. Then which of the
favors of your Lord will ye deny?
On the day, no question will be asked of man
or jinn as to his sin. Then which of the favors of
your Lord will ye deny?
The sinners will be known by their marks, and
they will be scired by their forelocks and their
feet. Then which of the favors of your Lord will
ye deny?
This is the hell which the sinners deny.‖
[Al Quran 55: 32-43]

Chapter 40 [Ghafir FORGIVER]
Introduction

The Surah addresses the wrong orientations of both

Europeans and Arabians. A European is inclined to seek
resources, while an Arabian is prone to following the wrong
Awliya (Guides, Protectors, Helpers, and Friends).
The Surah consoles the Believers, advising them to work
for the rewards of the Afterlife. It emphasizes the downfall of
arrogant disputers and also highlights the limitations of
miraculous signs.

Tafsir of the Surah

Segment-1
Salvation of people with Resources and Mobility

Section 1 of Chapter 40 [Verse 1-3]: Book from God

Ha, Mim. The revelation of this Book is from God, Exalted in

Power, Full of Knowledge, Who forgives sin, accepts
repentance, is strict in punishment, and has a long reach.
There is no god but He; to Him is the final goal.

318
Section 2 of Chapter 40 [Verse 4-6]: People with Resources
and Mobility

None disputes about the verses of God but the Unbelievers.

So, let not their ability of going about here and there through
the land deceive you!
The People of Noah and the confederates after them
denied before them, and every people plotted against their
Prophet to seize him, and disputed by means of vanities
therewith to condemn the Truth. But, it was I that seized
them, and how was My requital!
Thus, was the decree of thy Lord proved true against the
Unbelievers that truly they are companions of the Fire!

Remarks:

The above verses say, ―So, let not their ability of going
about here and there through the land deceive you!‖
Who are they?
The ability to travel across land and sea requires
vehicles such as cars, trains, ships, submarines,
helicopters, aircraft, spacecraft, and more. These
inventions belong to the Europeans, as they were the ones
who created them.
In the above verses, Noah is mentioned after them,
which suggests that Noah was a European Prophet.
Jews have maintained their blood, and many of them
have blue eyes. It also indicates that Noah was most
likely a man with blue eyes.
It is likely that Noah lived in the area of the present-
day Black Sea before the flood. Northern and Western
Europe were almost uninhabited during his time.
319
 It may be noted that, according to the Holy Bible, the
entire Earth was flooded. However, the Quran does not
mention this. It is likely that only Europe and Russia were
submerged. Noah, part of his family, a few of his
followers, and pairs of local animals, such as polar bears,
wolves, snow foxes, ice deer, and so on, were saved in
the boat. The preservation of polar animals was necessary
due to their specialized nature, suitable for cold terrain.
[The flood of Noah is deliberately discussed in
Section-10 of Chapter-7.]
The Quran clearly states that a few followers of Noah
were saved. Present-day Europeans with blue eyes may
be descendants of these followers.
Therefore, it is likely that Noah, his descendants, his
followers, and their descendants (Blue Eyed Europeans)
are from the same race, rooted in the area of Black Sea.
DNA analyses carried out on the modern Jews give the
same indication.
The verses say, ―…every People plotted against their
Prophet…‖ The European People are included among
them. So, their ability should not deceive us. Their ability
has greatly advanced in respect of going here and there.
They have invented car, ship, submarine, aircraft, and
space-craft. They have gone to the Moon.
They have mapped the world with precision and
placed guiding satellites (GPS) in the sky. Their
communication network is so advanced that they can talk
to others from their homes and even see them while
speaking. They have interconnected the world using
supercomputers.
However, their store of real knowledge is limited;
they have primarily advanced in technology.
320
Section 3 of Chapter 40 [Verse 7-12]: Salvation of People
having Resources and Mobility

Those who sustain the Arsh and those around it sing glory
and praise to their Lord, believe in Him, and implore
forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord! Thy reach is
over all things in Mercy and Knowledge; forgive then those
who turn in repentance and follow Thy path, and preserve
them from the penalty of the Blazing Fire! And grant our
Lord that they enter the Jannaat of Eternity, which Thou have
promised to them and to the righteous among their fathers,
their wives, and their posterity; for Thou are the Exalted in
Might, Full of Wisdom. And preserve them from ills, and any
whom Thou do preserve from ills that Day, on them will
Thou have bestowed mercy indeed, and that will be truly the
highest achievement".

Remarks:

According to the Hadith, there are angels who carry the

Arsh over their heads. Additionally, the above verses
mention angels who sustain the Arsh.
There is confusion among people regarding the Kursi
and Arsh. The Kursi is the seat of Allah, which can
extend into a universe, while the Arsh is a special
universe that holds the Kursi, the Pen, the Lawh-Mahfuz,
a part of Sidratul-Muntaha, the Angels of Arsh, and more.
It serves as the Headquarters of Allah. It is His personal
domain.

321
 FIGURE 40.1: Proximity of Arsh and Araf

The Arsh is larger than the universes. Allah did

istawa into the Arsh, making Him the true sustainer of the
Arsh; angels cannot sustain it. Most likely, the Hadiths
and the verses refer to a part of the Arsh, which is above
the Araf. The Araf is located just below the Arsh, where
eight angels stand to hold the Arsh above their heads,
ensuring that the Araf does not collide with the Arsh.
[Istawa is discussed in Section-1 of Chapter-1]

The Unbelievers will be addressed: Greater was the

aversion of God to you than your aversion towards one
another when ye were called to the Faith, and ye used to
refuse.
They will say, "Our Lord! Twice have Thou made us
without life, and twice have Thou given us Life! Now have
we recognized our sins; is there any way out?"

322
 This is because, when God was invoked as the Only ye
did reject Faith, but when partners were joined to Him ye
believed! The Command is with God, Most High, Most
Great!"

Remarks:

They denied obeying Noah but eventually accepted the

truth in a distorted form. Many of them attribute partners
to God in the form of the Trinity, where Gabriel and Jesus
are considered inseparable parts of God. They also
believe Jesus to be the Son of God or God in the flesh. A
person with such beliefs is considered an unbeliever. An
unbeliever is not protected by the angels, and a satanic
jinn mounts on him.

―He is the Irresistible, from above over His

worshippers, and He sets guardians (angels) over
you. At length, when death approaches one of
you, Our angels take his soul (nafs), and they
never fail in their duty.‖ [Al Quran 6:61]

The mounted jinni deforms a human‘s nafs, causing

them to be resurrected in a devil-human form, thousands
of kilometers tall. They would require space equivalent to
the distance between Makkah and Madinah just to sit.
A human‘s nafs is a combination of unknown force
fields. It takes shape inside the human body during the
time in the mother's womb and throughout earthly life. It
becomes fixed at the time of death and grows robust and
powerful in Illiyin or Sijjin. By the time of resurrection, it
will be beyond the scope of change.
323
 The nafs of an atom is a combination of several force
fields, such as the magnetic force field, strong nuclear
force field, weak nuclear force field, and others. It is
known that immense temperature is required to alter the
nafs.
Similarly, a person with a deformed nafs will burn in
hell for the correction of their nafs. However, they will
not die from the fire as they would on Earth. The process
of transforming the nafs through fire is called the Second
Death:

―Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake

of fire. This is the Second Death, the lake of fire‖
– Revelation 20:14

―But for the cowardly and unbelieving and

abominable and murderers and immoral persons
and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part
will be in the lake that burns with fire and
brimstone, which is the Second Death‖
– Revelation 21:8

―He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit
says to the churches. He who overcomes will not
be hurt by the Second Death.‖ – Revelation 2:11

Their ever-regenerating bodies will be burned in

intense fire until they reach the state of dry, compact coal,
which is referred to as death in the above verses. They
will then regenerate from that state, with their nafs
corrected, and in a shape and size suitable for Jannaat.
Subsequently, they will be taken to the Jannaat.
324
 It should be noted that if they were pure unbelievers,
they would not experience the Second Death; they would
remain in hell forever. Death in hell is a blessing from
God because it serves as a means of salvation.
So, there is no reason to be envious of them for their
monumental technological advancement.
[The Second Death is also discussed in Section-6 of
Chapter-39.]

Section 4 of Chapter 40 [Verse 13-22]: Lord of the Arsh

He it is Who shows you His signs, and sends down

sustenance for you from the sky, but only those receive
admonition who turn.

Remarks:

Our food is primarily produced from elements that come

from the sky: water from rain, carbon dioxide (CO2) from
the atmosphere, and energy from the Sun. Plants use
these to produce carbohydrates (water + carbon dioxide +
light = carbohydrate + oxygen). This is the only system
by which energy is introduced into the food cycle.
One of the major macronutrients that plants need is
nitrogen, which also comes from the atmosphere.
Plants absorb small amounts of phosphorus,
potassium, calcium, sulfur, magnesium, and other
nutrients from the Earth.
The system of provision, including the Sun, air, and
Earth, bears the signs of God, but only those who believe
learn from it.

325
 Call you then upon God with sincere devotion to Him,
even though the Unbelievers may detest it. Raised high above
ranks the Lord of the Arsh; by His Command does He send
the ruh (verses) to any of His servants He pleases that it may
warn of the Day of Mutual Meeting—the Day whereon they
will come forth; not a single thing concerning them is hidden
from God Whose will be the dominion that Day? That of
God, the One, the Irresistible!
That Day every soul will be requited for what it earned;
no injustice will there be that Day—for God is Swift in
taking account.
Warn them of the Day that is drawing near, when the
hearts will right up to the throats to choke; neither intimate
friend nor intercessor the wrongdoers will have who could be
listened to. (He) knows of that deceive with the eyes and all
that the hearts conceal, and God will judge with Truth. But
those whom (they) invoke besides Him will not to judge at
all. Verily, it is God Who hears and sees.
Do they not travel through the earth and see what the end
of those before them was? They were even superior to them
in strength and in the traces in the land, but God did call them
to account for their sins, and none they had to defend them
against God. That was because there came to them their
Messengers with Clear (Signs), but they rejected them. So,
God called them to account; for He is Full of Strength, Strict
in Punishment.

326
 Segment 2
People following Wrong Awliya (guides, protectors,
helpers and friends).

Section 5 of Chapter 40 [Verse 23-27]: Leaders opposing

the Truth

Of old, We sent Moses with Our signs and an authority

manifest to Pharaoh, Haman and Karun, but they called (him)
a sorcerer telling lies! Now, when he came to them in truth
from Us, they said, "Slay the sons of those who believe with
him and keep alive their females." But the plots of
Unbelievers—is nothing but errors!
Said Pharaoh, "Leave me to slay Moses and let him call
on his Lord! What I fear is lest he should change your
religion or lest he should cause mischief to appear in the
land!"
Moses said, "Verily I seek refuge in my Lord and your
Lord from every arrogant one who believes not in the Day of
Account!"

Section 6 of Chapter 40 [Verse 28-35]: People disputing

the Verses of God

A believer, a man from among the people of Pharaoh, who

had concealed his faith, said: ―Will ye slay a man because he
says, My Lord is God, when he has indeed come to you with
clear (signs) from your Lord; and if he be a liar, on him is his
lie; but if he is telling the Truth, then will fall on you
327
something, of which he warns you. Truly, God guides not
one who transgresses and lies! O my People! Yours is the
dominion this day, you have the upper hand in the land, but
who will help us from the punishment of God, should it befall
us?" Pharaoh said: ―I but point out to you that which I see,
nor do I guide you but to the Path of Right!‖
Then said the man who believed:
―O my people! Truly I do fear for you something like the
Day of the Confederates, something like the fate of the
People of Noah, the 'Ad, and the Thamud, and those who
came after them; but God never wishes injustice to his
servants.‖
―And O my people! I fear for you a Day when there will
be mutual calling, a Day when ye shall turn your backs and
flee; no defender shall ye have from God. Any whom God
leaves to stray, there is none to guide.‖
―And to you there came Joseph in times gone by with
clear signs, but ye ceased not to doubt of the (Mission) for
which he had come. At length when he died, ye said, "No
apostle will God send after him". Thus, does God leave to
stray such as transgress and live in doubt.‖
Those who dispute about the signs of God without any
authority that has come to them—it is greatly hateful and
disgusting to God and to those who believe. Thus, does God
seal up every heart of Arrogant and Obstinate Transgressors.

Section 7 of Chapter 40 [Verse 36-37]: Pharaoh, the

Leader of the Disputers

Pharaoh said: "O Haman! Build me a lofty palace that I may

attain the ways and means; the ways and means of the Skies,
and that I may mount up to the God of Moses—but as far as I
328
am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!" Thus, was made
alluring in Pharaoh's eyes the evil of his deeds, and he was
hindered from the Path. And the plot of Pharaoh led to
nothing but perdition.

Section 8 of Chapter 40 [Verse 38-45]: People followed

Pharaoh and his Chiefs (Tribal Chiefs)

The man who believed said further:

―O my people! Follow me; I will lead you to the Path of
Right. O my people! This life of the present is nothing but
convenience; it is the hereafter that is the home that will last.
He that works evil will not be requited but by the like thereof;
and he that works a righteous deed, whether man or woman,
and is a Believer—such will enter the Jannaat. Therein will
they have abundance without measure.
―And O my people! How it is for me to call you to
Salvation while ye call me to the Fire! Ye do call upon me to
blaspheme against God and to join with Him partners of
whom I have no knowledge, and I call you to the Exalted in
Power Who forgives again and again! Without doubt, ye do
call me to one who is not fit to be called to, whether in this
world or in the Hereafter. Our return will be to God, and the
transgressors will be companions of the Fire! Soon will ye
remember what I say to you; I commit my affair to God—for
God watches over His servants.‖
Then God saved him from ill that they plotted, but the
brunt of the penalty encompassed on all sides the People of
Pharaoh.

329
Section 9 of Chapter 40 [Verse 46-50]: The end of the
Loyal Followers

In front of the Fire will they be brought morning and evening,

and on the Day that Judgment will be established: ―Cast ye
the People of Pharaoh into the severest penalty!‖
Behold, they will dispute with each other in the Fire! The
weak ones will say to those who had been arrogant, ―We but
followed you. Can you then take from us some share of the
Fire?‖
Those who had been arrogant will say, "We are all in
this! Truly, God has judged between servants!"
Those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, "Pray to
your Lord to lighten us the penalty for a day!"
They will say, "Did there not come to you your apostles
with clear signs?"
They will say, "Yes".
They will reply, "Then pray! But the prayer of those
without Faith is nothing but error!"

Section 10 of Chapter 40 [Verse 51-56]: Seek refuge to God

We will without doubt help our apostles and those who

believe in this world's life. And on the Day when the
witnesses will stand forth, the Day when no profit will it be
to wrong-doers to present their excuses, and they will have
the curse and the Home of Misery.
We did aforetime give Moses the guidance, and We gave
the Book in inheritance to the Children of Israel—a guide and
a message to men of understanding. Patiently then persevere;
for the promise of God is true, and ask forgiveness for thy

330
fault, and celebrate the praises of thy Lord in the evening and
in the morning.
Those who dispute about the verses of God without any
authority bestowed on them, there is nothing in their breasts
but the greatness, which they shall never attain; seek refuge
then in God; it is He Who hears and sees.

Section 11 of Chapter 40 [Verse 57-60]: Differing

Destinations Justified

Assuredly the creation of the Skies and Lands is indeed

greater than the creation of men; yet most men understand
not.
Not equal are the blind and those who see—nor are those
who believe and work deeds of righteousness and those who
do evil. Little do ye learn by admonition!
The Hour will certainly come; therein is no doubt, yet
most men believe not. And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I
will answer your (call). But those who are too arrogant to
serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell, in humiliation!"

Remarks:

What the above verses mean by, ―Assuredly the creation

of the Skies and Lands (this universe) is indeed greater
than the creation of men…‖?
Allah has created anti-creatures, such as jinns, and
their supporting anti-animals to live in the Samawaat (this
universe). The Samawaat contains six times more dark
matter than regular matter (anti-matter is a form of dark
matter). The nature of the Samawaat is suitable for them,
making it their home universe.
331
 On the other hand, Allah created Adam and Eve to
live in the Jannaat. The nature of Jannaat is suitable for
them, making it their home universe.
Humans agreed to become the vicegerents of God,
and they were created to be suitable vicegerents—they do
not think without the will of God. As a result, many
humans will have to live in the Samawaat.
However, no human desires to be a vicegerent of God
in the Samawaat, as it is hell for them. Despite this, many
will be assigned to the Samawaat as vicegerents of God,
because the universe is a greater creation than humans, as
the verses mention: ―Assuredly the creation of the Skies
and Lands is indeed greater than the creation of men…‖
The third paragraph of the above verses indicates who
would be left here: ―The Hour will certainly come…those
who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find
themselves in Hell, in humiliation!‖
Arrogant people love freedom and do not want to
follow the orders of God. As a result, they will be
assigned to the Samawaat as forgotten vicegerents of
God, where they will enjoy their freedom forever.
The arrangement of who would be in the Jannaat and
who would be in the Samawaat was agreed upon by us in
the preceding virtual life. We will remember or be made
aware of this agreement on the Day of Judgment. Thus,
the losers will not blame God; they will blame
themselves.

332
 Segment-3
Calling to Islam with Natural Signs

Section 12 of Chapter 40 [Verse 61-68]: Nature is full of

Signs

It is God Who has made the night for you that you may rest
therein and the days as that which helps to see. Verily, God is
full of grace and bounty to men, yet most men give no
thanks. Such is God your Lord, the Creator of all things;
there is no god but He—then how ye are deluded away from
the Truth!
Thus, are deluded those who are wont to reject the signs
of God.

Remarks

The universe is expanding, which causes darkness. If the

universe were not expanding, the light from all the stars
would eventually reach the Earth. Once the light of a star
had arrived, it would continue to reach us forever. In that
case, every line of sight would end on the surface of a
star, and the entire sky would appear as bright as the Sun.
Scientists calculate that if the universe were not
expanding, the sky would be forty thousand times
brighter than the Sun at noon.
The intensity of light is reduced to darkness because
the universe is expanding. Meanwhile, we have a Sun that
provides seven-colored light of perfect intensity for our
color-vision eyes: ―It is God Who has made the Night for
you that you may rest therein and the days as that which
helps to see.‖
333
 It is God Who has made for you the earth as a resting
place and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape, and
made your shapes beautiful, and has provided for you
sustenance of things pure and good; such is God your Lord—
so Glory to God, the Lord of the universes!
He is the Living. There is no god but He. Call upon Him
giving Him sincere devotion. Praise be to God, Lord of the
universes!
Say: I have been forbidden to invoke those, whom ye
invoke besides God, seeing that the clear verses have come to
me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to bow to the
Lord of the universes.

Remarks:

The crust that supports us is stable, productive, and

peaceful. It has made the Earth a perfect resting place,
producing nourishing food, and storing pure mineral
water for drinking, as the verses describe: ―…and has
provided for you sustenance of things pure and good‖.
The sky of the Earth acts as a canopy, consisting of
the magnetosphere and layered atmosphere, which protect
us from solar winds, harmful radiation, and extreme cold
and heat. This canopy has also contributed to making our
shapes beautiful, as the verses describe: ―…and the sky as
a canopy, and has given you shape, and made your
shapes beautiful…‖
Allah could have made us capable of withstanding
solar winds, harmful radiation, and extreme temperatures.
However, in that case, we would have thick, hairy skins,
and tough physiques like other animals. Instead, Allah
334
 created a protective canopy and made our forms graceful,
light, and sensitive.

It is He Who has created you from turabin (zygote), then

from a drop (blastocyst), then from a leech (leech like
clinging embryo), then does he get you out as a child, then
lets you reach your age of full strength, then lets you become
old though of you there are some who die before—and lets
you reach a term appointed in order that you may learn
wisdom. It is He Who gives life and death; and when He
decides upon an affair, He says to it, ―Be‖, and it is.

Remarks:

The word "turab" (the trilateral root of "turabin") is

commonly translated as "soil," "dust," or "earth."
However, according to the dictionary, it also means "to
collect," "raise," "well-matched," or "deposit." In the
context of the verse, "turabin" could be interpreted as
"zygote," referring to the stage where the sperm and
ovum are collected, fused, and raised as a well-matched
deposit of genetic material. Therefore, the term "zygote"
may be referred to as "turabin" in the Quran.
Formation of one‘s body begins when the fusion of
sperm and ovum produces a zygote. The specific genome
thus formed plays a crucial role in developing one‘s body
with hereditary and other traits.

335
 FIGURE 40.2: Fusion of Sperm and Ovum

The human body is so advanced that it is not meant to

age; all of its cells are periodically replaced. The body
has the ability to produce all kinds of medicines and
repair itself, and it should even be able to regenerate lost
parts. However, we experience aging in this earthly life
due to codes introduced in our genomes.
The codes in the genome regulate the process of
aging, making a person young and eventually old over
time. Allah determines the length of one's life and aligns
the genetic material in the zygote accordingly. However,
some may die at an early age due to other factors of fate.
Above verses say, ―when He decides upon an affair,
He says to it, "Be", and it is‖. Every subatomic particle
acts according to its design. However, many of the force
fields on which these particles depend are extended
elementary souls (ruhs) of Allah (as discussed in Chapter
1). Allah sustains all subatomic particles, and they are
devotedly obedient to Him. Therefore, anything can occur
on His command: 'Be.' In the context of the foregoing
verses, this means that Allah can increase or decrease a
person's life at any time, even though the human genome
336
 is programmed to cause aging and death within a
predetermined time.
The matching of genetic materials is done, and one is
born with a specific genome to fulfill the duration of
one's life. However, Allah is the Author of the genome,
and He has control over every subatomic particle. He can
change the required genetic codes at His command of 'Be'
and can increase or decrease one's life instantly.

Section 13 of Chapter 40 [Verse 69-76]: Abode of the

Arrogant

See thou not those that dispute concerning the verses of God
how are they turned away—those who reject the Book and
with which We sent our apostles? But soon shall they know
when the yokes are round their necks, and the chains. They
shall be dragged along in the boiling fetid fluid, then in the
Fire shall they be burned, then shall it be said to them:
"Where are the (deities) to which ye gave part-worship in
derogation of God?"
They will reply: "They have left us in the lurch. Nay, we
invoked not anything before."
Thus, does God leave the Unbelievers to stray. That was
because ye were wont to rejoice on the earth in things other
than the Truth, and that ye were wont to be insolent: Enter ye
the gates of hell; abide forever in it; and wretched is abode of
the arrogant!

337
Section 14 of Chapter 40 [Verse 77-78]: Sanctioning of a
Miraculous Sign

So, persevere in patience; for the promise of God is true. And

whether We show thee some part of what We promise them,
or We take thy soul, it is to Us that they shall return.
We did aforetime send apostles before thee; of them there
are some whose story We have related to thee, and some
whose story We have not related to thee. It was not for any
apostle to bring a sign except by the leave of God. But when
the Commandment of God comes, the matter will be decided
in truth, and the followers of false-hood will then be lost.

Section 15 of Chapter 40 [Verse 79-81]: Remain happy

with the Natural Signs

It is God Who made cattle for you that you may use some for
riding and some for food, and there are advantages in them
for you that you may through them attain to any need in your
hearts, and on them and on ships you are carried. And He
shows you His signs; then which of the signs of God will ye
deny?

Section 16 of Chapter 40 [Verse 82-85]: Miraculous Sign

demands immediate Devotion, and its denial may bring
Punishment

Do they not travel through the earth and see what the end of
those before them was? They were more numerous than these
and superior in strength and in the traces in the land, yet all
that they accomplished was of no profit to them, for when
their apostles came to them with clear signs, they exulted in
338
such knowledge as they had; but that very (punishment), at
which they were wont to scoff, hemmed them in.
So, when they saw Our punishment, they said: "We
believe in God, the one God, and we reject the partners we
used to join with Him." But their Faith could not avail them
when they saw Our punishment—this has been way of God
in dealing with His servants; and there the disbelievers lost
utterly!

Section 1 of Chapter 41 [Verse 1-2]: Sign of Lawh-Mahfuz

Ha, Mim; A Revelation from Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Section 2 of Chapter 41 [Verse 3-8]: Simple Call

A Book whereof the verses are explained in detail, a

Recitation in Arabic for people who understand, giving good
news and admonition, yet most of them turn away, and so
they hear not.

Remarks:

The verses above says that the Quran is ―a Recitation in

Arabic for people who understand‖
Therefore, if a person does not understand Arabic, he
should read the Quran in a language he understands.
The Prophet (pbuh) had a part of the Quran translated
into Persian and gave it to Salman al-Farsi (R.).
Therefore, translating the Quran is not forbidden.

They say, "Our hearts are under veils from that to which
thou do invite us, and in our ears is a deafness, and between
us and thee is a screen—so, do thou; for us, we shall do."
Say thou: "I am but a man like you. It is revealed to me
by inspiration that your God is one God, so stand true to Him
and ask for His Forgiveness; and woe to those who join gods
with God, those who practise not regular Charity, and who
even deny the Hereafter."
341
 For those, who believe and work deeds of righteousness,
there is a reward that will never fail.

Section 3 of Chapter 41 [Verse 9-14]: The Six Day Model

of Creation (Main Discussion)

Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the land in two

Days? And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of the
universes.
And He placed therein firmly set mountains, and parked
therein from above it and determined therein its sustenance
in four days equal; for those who ask.
Moreover, (He) was established into the Sky while it had
been smoke. He said to it and to the lands: ―Come ye
together, willingly or unwillingly‖. They said: ―We do come,
in willing obedience‖.
So, He completed them as Seven Skies in two Days, and
He assigned to each Sky its duty and command. And We
adorned the lowest Sky with lights, and with guard. Such is
the Decree of the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge.

Remarks:

According to the Quran and the Holy Bible, God created

the universe in six days. While the Six-Day Model of
Creation may seem unscientific, it is not necessarily
unscientific if we interpret 'six days' as 'six periods of
time.' In the verses above, the Six-Day Model of Creation
is discussed scientifically, with the six days considered as
six periods of time.

342
 The Six-Day Model of Creation belongs to the Holy
Bible. The Quran supports this model and helps explain
it. The discussion will proceed in the following sequence:
1. Creation of Universe- Science
2. Creation of Universe- the Quran
3. Creation of Universe- Holy Bible
4. The creation of Animals on Earth- the Quran
5. Creation of Earth - the Quran
6. Two Days of the 3rd paragraph
7. Two Days of the 1st Paragraph
8. Four Days (4 days of the 2nd paragraph)
9. Melting of the Earth
10. Time
11. Arguments in favor of Religious View
The explanation of the Six-Day Model requires some
assumptions. These assumptions are subsequently
validated, as they align with the overall narrative
supported by modern discoveries.

1. Creation of Universe- Science

We need to understand the modern discoveries about

creation in order to discuss the Six-Day Model of
Creation.
The universe began with the Big Bang. In the
beginning, radiation transformed into the simplest form of
matter, hydrogen, which was created from one proton and
one electron. Later, twenty-five percent of hydrogen
fused into helium, along with small amounts of heavy

343
hydrogen and other elements. The stars of the early
universe formed from these two gases.
―The primordial fireball contained reactions which
led to the present distribution of hydrogen and helium
75% and 25% respectively, a balance that explains the
evolution of stars…‖
– Dawn of A New Era by Sir Bernard Lovell in The
Encyclopedia of Space Travel and Astronomy edited by
John Man
The gases released from the Big Bang gathered into
clouds. In these collapsing clouds, stars formed from
irregularities.
Subsequently, groups of proto-galaxies were attracted
to each other by gravity and collided, resulting in the
formation of the larger galaxies we see today.
―The standard picture of galaxy formation envisages
to gas collapsing first into a roughly elliptical shape
under the influence of gravity, with stars forming out of
irregularities in the collapsing cloud. At first large hot
stars, composed just of hydrogen and helium, will form in
a young galaxy, run through their life cycle quickly and
explode, scattering heavier elements into interstellar
medium. From these materials, ‗Second Generation‘ stars
can form.‖
– To the Edge of Eternity by John Gribbin in The
Encyclopedia of Space Travel and Astronomy edited by
John Man.
Stars like the Sun are long-lasting stars that contain
many elements heavier than helium. Scientists predict
that these elements were created in the first-generation
stars, which were formed from hydrogen and helium.

344
 A star can form from hydrogen and helium. Helium,
being heavier, settles into the core. Gravity tries to
compress the star. The contraction generates tremendous
pressure and heat at the center of the star. The pressure
and heat initiate nuclear fusion reactions, which produce
even more heat. On one hand, gravity tries to compress
the star; on the other hand, the heat produced in the core
tries to expand it—creating a balance.
A balanced star burns for a long time, and due to the
nuclear fusion reaction, new heavier elements are
successively produced in the core.

FIGURE 41.1: Layers of New Elements in a Star

Scientists predict that elements heavier than helium

were created inside stars in this way.
The first-generation stars formed one to two hundred
million years after the Big Bang. These stars were very
large, about three hundred times the size of the Sun, and
345
extremely hot. They went through their life cycles rapidly
and exploded, scattering the heavier materials produced
within them into space. The long-lasting second-
generation stars, like the Sun, and planets, like Earth,
could form from these elements.
Therefore, after the gases concentrated into clouds,
the formation of stars and planets was simply a matter of
time and evolution. The difficult part is visualizing how
the gases could concentrate into clouds as large as
galaxies. In a uniform universe, the gases should have
spread out evenly.
―In a perfectly uniform universe, there is no way in
which large concentration of gas could ever occur;
indeed it is quite difficult to explain how concentration of
matter as big as the galaxies could have formed in time
since the Big Bang, no more than 20,000 million of years
ago. How this happened is not known, but it is straight
forward to calculate how a galaxy would form once these
clouds of gas, held together by gravity, and containing
enough material to form thousands of millions of stars.‖
– To the Edge of Eternity by John Gribbin in The
Encyclopedia of Space Travel and Astronomy edited by
John Man.
There are many unanswered questions. However, we
live on a planet like Earth, with more than 92 elements
available in nature.

346
 FIGURE 41.2: Time-line, the Creation of Universe

2. Creation of Universe- the Quran

We can derive some information from the Quran as to

how the universe was created.
a. The Quran says that the universe is cyclic, and we are
living in the second cycle.
b. Elements up to silicon were created in the first cycle
of the universe.
c. The present cycle (second cycle) of the universe
began with a Big Bounce, when space was shaped
into seven skies. The skies are waves of space, one
inside another, like the layers of an onion.

347
d. The skies helped distribute heavy and light elements
evenly throughout space and assisted in the rapid
concentration of matter into galaxies.
e. Elements heavier than silicon must have been created
in the stars of the present cycle and scattered into
space due to supernova explosions. The Earth was
provided with these elements from these sources.

FIGURE 41.3: Cyclic Universe

[The above model of the Quran is deliberately

discussed with reference to verses in Section-1 of
Chapter-1 and in Section-4 of Chapter-21]

3. Creation of Universe- Holy Bible

The Holy Bible is not available in its original languages

at present. As a result, some verses have changed during
the process of translation, some have been intentionally
altered, and some have been forgotten.
Therefore, we should not explain the Holy Bible in
the same way we explain the Quran. The literal meaning
of the Quran is used for scientific explanation, and the

348
Quran is interpreted as we interpret laws and definitions,
because it consists of the unchanged words of God.
The Quran confirms whatever came before it. If a
verse of the Holy Bible does not contradict the Quran or
any concept within it, we may accept it as correct in its
meaning.
The Holy Bible provides a detailed description of the
six days. During these six days, the universe was created,
and the Earth was made suitable for humans. I have
quoted and explained the important parts in sequence.
In the Holy Bible, the terms 'Sky' or 'Skies' also refer
to the universe.

3a. The First Day – Holy Bible

Christian scholars usually consider the six days as six

earthly days. However, in light of the Quran, these were
periods of time. We will consider these days as periods of
time.

―In the beginning, when God created the universe,

the Earth was non-existent. The raging ocean that
covered everything was engulfed in total darkness
and the Soul of God was hovering over the
water.‖ – Genesis 1: (1–2), Holy Bible, GNB

The Quran too talks about this water:

―He it is Who created the ―Skies and Lands‖ (this

universe) in six days and His Arsh was over the
waters.‖ [Al Quran 11:7]

349
 From a scientific perspective, the time and space
began with the Big Bang. Science has no evidence of
what exists outside the universe. However, God created
the water before the Big Bang. Therefore, the water was
outside the universe, in the Super Space. The Super Space
is the space beyond the space of this universe.
[The water was mainly created for another universe
named Jannaat.]
Thus, the universe (Skies and Lands) is one of God's
creations. He created the Super Space and other realms as
well, such as Jannaat, Araf, Arsh, and so on.
The soul that was hovering over the water was a soul
provided by God. In another Bible (Knox, a Catholic
Bible), the soul is translated as the breath of God. The
verses are provided below:

―God, at the beginning of time, created heaven

(sky) and earth. Earth was still an empty waste
and darkness hung over the deep, but already over
its waters stirred the breath of God. Then God
said, Let there be light, and the light began‖
– Genesis 1 (1-2), Holy Bible (Knox)

Therefore, the soul, being the breath of God, was a

soul provided by Him. God provided the soul from His
own soul to create the universe.
The Quran also talks about this soul:

―He created you from a Soul Single (Nafsin-

Wahidatin), then created favorable pairs (Double
Helix DNA Molecules), and He sent down for you
of the cattle eight pairs, He creates you in the
350
 wombs of your mothers—creation after
creation—three tortures (on Allah). That Allah is
your Lord; for Him is the dominion. There is no
god but He. Then how are you turned away?‖
[Al Quran 39:6]

―It is He Who hath produced you from a Soul

Single (Nafsin-Wahidatin); here is a place of
dwelling and storage; We detail Our signs for
people who understand.‖ [Al Quran 6:98]

Thus, the provided soul is called Nafsin-Wahidatin (a

Single Soul) in the Quran. It created the universe. We
need an understanding of the soul to comprehend it.
The Nafsin-Wahidatin was a composite soul. It
comprised many types of elementary souls (ruhs). An
elementary soul and a force field are the same thing [The
soul is deliberately discussed in Section-1 of Chapter-1
and in Section-10 of Chapter-6].
Parts of Nafsin-Wahidatin were used to create the
Arsh and the water (the water was primarily created for
another universe named Jannaat). The rest of the Nafsin-
Wahidatin, with which the universe was created, had been
hovering over the water.
When God commanded, 'Let there be light,' the part of
Nafsin-Wahidatin that was hovering over the water got
fragmented, producing force fields such as the
Electromagnetic Force Field (light), Strong Nuclear Force
Field, and Weak Nuclear Force Field. The universe was
created from these force fields.

351
 ―Then God commanded, ―Let there be light‖ and
light appeared.‖ – Genesis 1:3, Holy Bible, GNB

In the scientific community, the part of Nafsin-

Wahidatin that produced this universe is called the GUT
Force (Grand Unified Theory Force).
.

Figure 41.4: Provided Soul / GUT Force + (Plus) /

Nafsin-Wahidatin

The soul (nafs) of a living creature is a combination of

unknown force fields (yet to be discovered). Thus, the
Nafsin-Wahidatin produced many unknown force fields
as well, with which the souls (nafses) of living creatures
were created. Moreover, parts of the Nafsin-Wahidatin
were used to create the Arsh and Water. Therefore, the
Nafsin-Wahidatin may be called the GUT Force + (Plus).
According to the Quran, the Gravitational Force is not
from Nafsin-Wahidatin; it is a sustaining soul of Allah.
Scientists too do not include the gravitational force in the
GUT Force. [The gravity is deliberately discussed in
Secion-7 of Chapter-2.]
352
3b. Second Day – Holy Bible

In the next phase, the light was separated from the

darkness.

―God was pleased with what He saw. Then He

separated the light from the darkness.‖
– Genesis 1:4, Holy Bible

Probably, the light was absorbed into a black hole

outside the water-ball. It had a light-releasing white hole
in the center of the water-ball. The white hole is the Big
Bang. Thus, the light was separated from the darkness
(black hole).
The light was pushed into the center of the water-ball
through a passage of space. The idea of moving through a
black hole was explored by Stephen Hawking in his book
Black Holes and Baby Universes. As a black hole
evaporates, the matter that had fallen into it could
potentially re-emerge through another white hole, at a
very large distance. This matter might then enter a baby
universe, a small, self-contained universe that branches
off from our own region of the universe.
In this context, Hawking made a critical analysis of
time. He considered the time of a baby universe to be
imaginary time. In the scenario described in the Holy
Bible, the Big Bang can be seen as representing the baby
universe; thus, our time could be understood as the
imaginary time that began at the Big Bang.

353
 ―And He named the light ‗day‘ and the darkness
‗night‘. Evening passed, and morning came that
was the first day‖ – Genesis 5, Holy Bible, GNB

After the Big Bang, the universal time began.

Almighty God named the light as day and the darkness as
night.

―Then God commanded ―Let there be dome to

divide the water and to keep it in two separate
places;‖ and it was dome. So, God made a dome,
and it separated the water under it from the water
above it. He named the dome ―sky‖. Evening
passed, and morning came that was the second
day.‖ – Genesis 1: (6-8), Holy Bible, GNB

The verses say that the 'Dome' was named 'Sky.' In the
Holy Bible, 'Sky' means 'Universe.' The Dome/Sky
(Universe) was full of smoke, which means that the
universe was full of smoke.

FIGURE 41.5: Big Bang inside the Water

So, the Big Bang occurred in the center of a huge

water-ball, producing hydrogen and helium. These gases
354
formed a huge bubble in the center of the water-ball. A
bubble and a dome look the same, which is why it has
been called a 'dome' in the Holy Bible.
When a bubble is produced in water, it rises to the
surface. But the enormous water-ball was floating in
Super Space; it had no up or down. The bubble (dome)
was expanding at an enormous speed in the center of the
water-ball. The expanding bubble (dome) formed the
universe.
Eventually, the water-ball burst due to the expanding
bubble. The water, gaining greater momentum, moved
away from the bubble/dome. The water was used to
create another universe named Jannaat.

FIGURE 41.6: Two Separate Universes

The verses under discussion talk about ―two separate

places‖: ―Let there be dome to divide the water and to
keep it in two separate places‖. The water was placed
into 'two separate places.' These 'two separate places' are
two universes: the Samawaat / Skies (this universe) and
the Jannaat (another universe).
355
 We know from the Quran that the width of the
Jannaat is equal to the width of the Samawaat (this
universe). Therefore, the Jannaat is a separate universe
altogether.

―Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your

Lord and for a Jannaat, whose width is that of the
Skies and Lands (this universe), prepared for the
righteous…‖ [Al Quran 3:133]

―Race to forgiveness from your Lord and the

Jannaat; the width of which is as the width of the
Sky and Land‖ [Al Quran 57:2]

Holy Bible too, says about two universes:

―Because only a few will be saved, God has

created two universes instead of only one‖
– 2 ESDRAS 7:50, Holy Bible, GNB

The water was primarily created for the Jannaat. One

may try to imagine how much water was needed to create
billions of habitable planets in the Jannaat. A small
quantity was also given to this universe.

3c. Possibility of a Big Bounce

As the Big Bang occurred, much of the force of

expansion transferred into the water. The water, gaining
greater momentum, moved away, and the expansion of
the universe (full of smoke) halted. The universe
(sky/smoke) then contracted due to gravitational force
356
and reinitiated from a Big Bounce as a Seven-Sky
Universe.
The contracting universe produced heavier elements,
at least up to silicon, to form long-lasting stars, asteroids
(initial planets), and dust.
When the universe evolved from the Big Bounce (the
second beginning), space was redesigned into seven
spherical waves, one inside the other, like the layers of an
onion. These 'waves of space' are the Skies. As the Skies
expanded, matter accumulated into huge conglomerates,
forming galaxies.
In the following verse, the Quran indicates that this
universe (the universe of the present cycle) began with a
Big Bounce:

―Do not the unbelievers see that the Skies and the
Lands were joined together, before We clove
them asunder‖ [Al Quran 21:30]

According to the above verse, the universe began as a

small entity containing lands (dust and asteroids). These
lands could have existed in the initial universe if it started
from a Big Bounce.
The following diagram illustrates the key stages of
creation:

357
 FIGURE 41.7: Creation of Universe

However, the Quran does not support the idea that the
universe has existed cyclically forever. It was created
from a Big Bang in the preceding cycle, when a part of
Nafsin-Wahidatin transformed into matter and energy.

3d. Creation of Life on Earth

At this stage, the Holy Bible begins narrating the creation

of life on Earth.
So, there is a gap between second and third days. The
Quran marks this gap clearly, as it narrates the six days in
358
two packages: 'two days' and 'four days.' These are
distinct periods of time: the universe was created in two
days; after a long period, the Earth was made suitable for
Adam by creating the necessary nature, plants, and
animals over another four days.

3e. Third Day – The Holy Bible

―Then God commanded, ―Let water below the sky

come together in one place, so that land will
appear…‖‖ – Genesis 1 (9–10), Holy Bible, GNB

A small quantity of water could not escape and fell into

this universe (Dome/Bubble/Sky). From this source, the
water was supplied to the Earth in the right amount,
allowing the land to appear. In other words, it was
provided in proper quantity so that the continents would
not sink.
It is still unknown where this vast quantity of water
came from. Scientists predict that the Earth was formed
from small solid particles produced in stars (supernovae).
Could these particles have carried hydrogen and oxygen,
or even water, to create the oceans? No reasonable
assumption provides an answer to this question. One must
ultimately accept that water is a special gift from
Almighty God—the Earth is uniquely prepared for a
water-based creature like us.
Adam was essentially created for the Jannaat, which
is full of water. Therefore, the Earth needed water to
serve as an exile home for Adam.
There are several indications that the oceans formed
from the impact of water-bearing asteroids.
359
 The creation of plants began as water settled on Earth.
The first living creatures were single-celled organisms,
which eventually developed into grain-bearing, and then
fruit-bearing plants.

―Then He commanded ―Let the Earth produce all

kinds of plants, those that bear grain, and those
that bear fruit…that was the third day‖
– Genesis 1 (11-13), Holy Bible, GNB

The plants made the Earth suitable for animals by

producing a soft-soil crust and, likely, oxygen in the
atmosphere.

3f. Forth Day – The Holy Bible

―Then God commanded ―Let lights appear in the

sky to separate day from night and to show the
time when days, years and religious festival
begin…Evening passed morning came; that was
the fourth day.‖
– Genesis (14-19), Holy Bible, GNB

In the verses above, the Holy Bible refers to earthly

days and nights, which were established on the fourth
day. On this day, Almighty God adjusted the rotation of
the planets and moons in the solar system.
The Earth had some order that allowed plants to grow,
but it was adjusted on the fourth day to create conditions
suitable for higher animals. Before the fourth day, the
lengths of day and night, along with related factors like
temperature, humidity, and seasons, were likely suitable
360
for plants but not for animals. For example, if the Earth
had an eight-hour day and an eight-hour night, plants
would grow faster, but this would not be suitable for
animals, as they need time for rest and hunting.
Scientists predict that Earth's rotation has been
slowing down from its initial value of a six-hour day
about 4.5 billion years ago.

3g. Fifth Day – The Holy Bible

The verses talked about the creation of plants in the third

day. In the fourth day God did not create anything.
Obviously, in this period the plants were evolving,
growing and dying to make the Earth suitable for higher
animals. In the fifth day, God began the creation of higher
animals. At first the marine animals were created, and
then the birds were created.

―Then God commanded Let the water be filled

with many kinds of living beings, and let the air
be filled with birds…Evening passed morning
came; that was the Fifth Day.‖
– Genesis 1: (20–23), Holy Bible, GNB

Above verses talk about the creation of marine

animals at first, and then it talks about the creation of
birds. Same sequence is suggested in the modern theory
of biological evolution: plants → marine animals →
amphibians → reptiles → birds.

―Then God commanded ―Let the Earth produce all

kinds of animal life, domestic and wild, large and
361
 small; and it was done…pleased with what He
saw‖ – Genesis 1: (24–25), Holy Bible, GNB

Again, observe the sequence: after the birds, the

verses discuss the creation of domestic animals
(mammals). This aligns with the theory of Modern
Biological Evolution: plants → marine animals →
amphibians → reptiles → birds → mammals.

3h. Sixth Day – The Holy Bible

―Then God said, ―And now we will make human

being…Evening passed morning came…that was
the Sixth Day.‖
– Genesis (26–31), Holy Bible, GNB

In the process of creating plants and animals,

Almighty God said, "Let there be..." as a blessing and
permission to move forward. This signifies that He
embedded the process of biological evolution from the
beginning. The angels were monitoring, and He simply
observed the final state of each phase, became pleased,
and gave His permission to proceed.
However, in the case of humans, Almighty God said,
"And now We will make human beings..." rather than "Let
there be..."

4. The creation of Animals on Earth- the Quran

The Quran provides insight into the evolution of life on

Earth, dividing the progression based on locomotion. This
means that it addresses the evolution of animals.
362
 ―All animals are motile, meaning they can move
spontaneously and independently at some points of their
lives‖ – Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
However, at lower levels, it is difficult to differentiate
between plants and animals. Movement is a primary
characteristic of animals, but many lower animals
resemble plants in their simplicity of structure and
growth. Colonies of compound hydroids and coral-
making polyps are plant-like and lack the power of
locomotion, yet they are classified as animals.
The following verse describes the creation of animals,
which aligns with the evolutionary progression
discovered by scientists.

"And Allah has created every animal from water:

Of them there are some that creep on their bellies,
some that walk on two legs, and some that walk
on four. Allah creates what He wills; for verily
Allah has power over all things" [Al Quran 25:25]

The following table, taken from The New

Encyclopedia Britannica, shows the similarities.

Figure 41.7 is taken from The New Encyclopedia

Britannica. I have underlined waterborne creatures,
reptiles (creeping creatures), two-legged creatures (birds),
and four-legged creatures (mammals) to correlate them
with verse 25:25. I have excluded humans from the
figure, as the link is absent.

FIGURE 41.8: Biological Evolution

364
 Thus, the Quran presents a similar idea about the
evolution of animals.
The Quran presents a different idea only concerning
humans. Cave paintings and the fossil record indicate that
Adam and Eve (the so-called modern humans) appeared
on Earth around ten to twelve thousand years ago. While
scientists have discovered older fossils resembling human
bones, these actually belong to different species of
monkeys and apes. Humans cannot be placed within the
chain of biological evolution—the missing link is clear.
I have deliberately discussed biological evolution and
the creation of humans in Section 12 of Chapter 24.

5. Creation of Earth - the Quran

The Six-Day Model in the Quran differs from the

scientific model in some respects. However, the Quran is
correct, as the differences of science stem from the lack
of information. This is discussed below:

5a. Length of a Day

In the Quran, a day may mean a period of time. A day

may be as long as one thousand earthly years:

―...Verily a day in the sight of thy Lord is like a

thousand years of your reckoning.‖
[Al Quran 22: 47]

365
 ―He rules affairs from the Skies to the Lands; in
the end will go up to Him in a Day—measure a
thousand years of your reckoning.‖
[Al Quran 32: 5]

A day may be as long as fifty thousand earthly years:

―A questioner asked about a penalty to befall, the

Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off
from Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent: The
angels and the ruhs ascend unto Him in a Day.
The measure whereof is fifty thousand years‖
[Al Quran 70: 1–4]

Thus, the length of a day varies in the reckoning of

Allah. A 'day' of the Six Days may be as short as an
earthly hour or as long as a billion earthly years.

5b. The Verses Narrating Eight (8) Days

People in ancient times believed that no matter which

direction they traveled, they would eventually reach the
ocean. As a result, they developed the idea that the land
floated on water. However, since a piece of earth cannot
float on water, they imagined that the land rested on the
back of a giant turtle.
The Holy Bible described the creation of the sky,
which dispelled the Turtle Theory. The new concept was
that water existed above a 'massive land.' God created a
blue dome that separated the water from a part of the
land. The protected land became the Earth, and the dome
became the Sky.
366
 In this widely accepted and circulated idea, it was
believed that the land was created before the sky. The
Quran did not directly counter this belief, as doing so
would have placed Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the
undesirable position of making people adopt a new idea.
The following verses were revealed in response to a
question from a Jew. In these verses, creation is described
in a sequence that would have made sense to an ordinary
person of ancient times. However, it remains true by
employing a technique, which will be discussed
subsequently:

―Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the land

in Two Days? And do ye join equals with Him?
He is the Lord of the universes.
And He placed therein firmly set mountains,
and parked therein from above it, and determined
therein its sustenance in Four Days equal—for
those who ask.
Moreover, He established Himself into the
Sky while it had been smoke. He said to it and to
the lands, ―Come ye together willingly or
unwillingly‖. They said, ―We do come in willing
obedience‖. So, He completed them as Seven
Skies in Two Days, and He assigned to each Sky
its duty and command.
And We adorned the lowest Sky with lights
and protection. Such is the Decree of the Exalted
in Might, Full of Knowledge.‖
[Al Quran 41:9-12]

367
 One may add up the number of Days in the above
verses; it will be 8 Days, not 6 Days:

 2 days of the 1st paragraph: The land (dust and

asteroid) was created.
 4 days of the 2nd paragraph: Sustenance was
parked from above.
Total: 6 days
 2 days of the 3rd paragraph: These were the
days of the preceding cycle when the universe was
filled with smoke. The universe contracted,
produced heavier elements at least up to silicon,
and then restarted with a Big Bounce.
Grand Total: 8 days

6. Two Days of the 3rd paragraph: ―…Moreover, He

established Himself into the Sky while it had been smoke.
He said to it and to the lands, ―Come ye together
willingly or unwillingly‖. They said, ―We do come in
willing obedience‖. So, He completed them as Seven
Skies in Two Days, and He assigned to each Sky its duty
and command. [Al Quran 41:9-12]
In these verses, the narration of the last two days
begins with the word 'Moreover.' These were days of the
preceding cycle of the universe. In this cycle, the Big
Bang produced smoke (primarily hydrogen and helium).
The universe contracted, and elements at least up to
silicon were created, allowing for the formation of land
(dust and asteroids).
The contracting universe collapsed into a fireball and
restarted through a Big Bounce, giving rise to the seven-
sky universe of the present cycle. Thus, the initial
368
universe of the present cycle could have contained land
(dust and asteroids).
But scientists calculate that the universe was created
13.6 billion years ago, and the Earth was created 4.6
billion years ago. This contradicts the Quran, which states
that the Earth (lands) existed in the initial universe. I have
discussed below that the model of the Quran is more
rational than the model of science.
The Big Bang produced the simplest form of matter,
hydrogen, created from one proton and one electron.
Later, 25% of this matter transformed into helium:
―One can calculate that in the hot Big Bang model
about a quarter of the protons and neutrons would have
converted into helium nuclei, along with a small amount
of heavy hydrogen and other elements.‖
– A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking.
Scientists calculate that in the first 15 minutes,
elements heavier than helium could have been produced,
but they would not have survived due to the extreme
temperature of the early universe. After the first 15
minutes of the Big Bang, the universe was no longer hot
enough to produce new elements. Therefore, they predict
that the heavier elements found on Earth were created in
first-generation stars.
The large and hot first-generation stars had sufficient
pressure and temperature in their cores to produce heavier
elements rapidly. These stars then exploded, scattering
the elements into space, where they contributed to the
formation of long-lasting second-generation stars and
planets.
―It is during supernova explosion that the creation of
the more complicated elements like uranium is thought to
369
occur. These, together with the other elements built up
from hydrogen over the life of the star, are flung out into
space in a vast expanding cloud of gas. The space
between the stars is replenished with gas but not the
original hydrogen and helium which collapsed to form
the star. Instead it is full of oxygen, hydrogen, copper,
manganese, bromine, titanium, gold, silver and all the
other elements which make up our world on Earth. These
elements went into the mixture from which the Sun and
the Solar system were later formed…Massive stars are
thus the crucibles in which the bulk of the elements with
which we are familiar are created. Without these massive
stars the universe would simply be a mixture of hydrogen
and helium, created during the early stages of the
universe before stars or galaxies had formed at all. It is
sobering to realize that almost all the elements, which
make up our familiar world of water, air, earth and living
tissue were formed in the deep interior of distant stars.
You and I, and this book you are reading, and the ink it is
printed with, once went though the raging furnace in the
center of a star.‖
– The Life and Death of Stars by Geoffray Bath
in The Encyclopedia of Space Travel and Astronomy
edited by John Man.
The concentration of hydrogen and helium into the
first-generation stars, their evolution, supernova
explosions, and the subsequent concentration of gases and
heavier elements into long-lasting second-generation stars
and planets took a long time. Ultimately, the Earth
formed about 4.6 billion years ago.
However, the Quran suggests that the initial universe
contained land (Earth). This could be possible if the
370
universe began with a Big Bounce, where the elements
necessary to form land were created in the preceding
cycle.
The verse in the third paragraph implies that the
universe is indeed cyclic and was created in the preceding
cycle, possibly through a Big Bang. The Big Bang
produced smoke, primarily composed of hydrogen and
helium. The universe contracted until elements, at least
up to silicon, were produced, possibly in large, hot stars.
Eventually, the universe of the preceding cycle
collapsed into a fireball and was revived through a Big
Bounce, being redesigned as the seven-sky universe of
the present cycle (the Seven-Sky-Universe is deliberately
discussed in Section-7 of Chapter-2).
Thus, in the initial universe of the present cycle, there
was dust and asteroids, which could have formed the
primitive Earth (land). The following verses also support
this idea:

―Do not the unbelievers see that the Skies and the
Lands (dusts and asteroids) were joined together
before We clove them asunder…‖
[Al Quran 21:30]

According to the above verse, there were lands (dust

and asteroids) in the initial universe of the present cycle.
In this scenario, there would be no need for first-
generation stars to produce the heavier elements. The
heavier elements, at least up to silicon, could have been
produced during the contracting phase of the preceding
cycle.

371
 The Holy Bible also supports this idea:

―…I alone stretched out the Skies, when I made

the Earth; no one helped Me‖
– Isaiah 44:24, Holy Bible (GNB)

A portion of the dust and asteroids formed the Solar

System within the Milky Way galaxy.
To understand the formation of the Earth according to
the Quran, we can analyze the Six Days in two parts: Two
Days and Four Days.

7. Two Days of the 1st Paragraph: ―Say: Is it that ye

deny Him Who created the lands in Two Days? And do ye
join equals with Him? He is the Lord of the universes…‖
[Al Quran 41:9-12]
These are the same Two Days mentioned in the third
paragraph. The dust and asteroids (lands) produced in the
preceding cycle of the universe scattered into the skies of
the present cycle during the Big Bounce. As the skies
expanded, matter concentrated into galaxies. Eventually,
the solar system, including the primitive Earth, formed
within the Milky Way galaxy.
Scientists generally believe that the Earth formed
from numerous small solid particles left over from the
creation of the Sun. According to the best available
evidence, the main ingredients were iron and silicates,
along with trace amounts of other elements.

372
 FIGURE 41.9: Earth‘s Interior

In light of the Quran, the Earth did not contain all the
elements when it was part of the assembly of lands (dust
and asteroids) at the beginning of the present cycle. It was
composed primarily of silicon and elements lighter than
silicon. Excluding iron, the Earth is mainly composed of
silicon and elements lighter than silicon. The following
four elements make up over sixty percent of the Earth:
one is silicon, and the other three are lighter than silicon:
1. Silicon – 15.1 %
2. Oxygen – 30.1 %
3. Magnesium – 13.9 %
4. Aluminum – 1.4 %
Total – 60.5 %
The atomic number of silicon is 14. Lighter elements
in the periodic table include hydrogen (H), helium (He),
lithium (Li), beryllium (Be), boron (B), carbon (C),
nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), fluorine (F), neon (Ne), sodium
(Na), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), and silicon (Si,
atomic number 14). These elements were created in the
previous cycle of the universe. When the Big Bounce
373
occurred, these elements were present in the contracted
universe. Some of them formed dust and asteroids, which
are also referred to as the 'assembly of lands' in the
following verse:

―He is the One Who created for you what was in

the assembly of land (ma fi ardi jamian).Then He
established Himself (did istawa / infused the
force) into the Sky and fashioned them into Seven
Skies. And of all things He had perfect
knowledge‖ [Al Quran 2:29]

8. Four Days (4 days of the 2nd paragraph)

The skies (waves of space) expanded, and galaxies

formed. After a long period of time, elements heavier
than silicon were produced in the stars. Some of these
stars exploded, scattering the elements into space.
About 4.6 billion years ago, the necessary elements
descended into the primitive Earth, which had formed
from the elements up to silicon that were available in the
early universe of the present cycle. This is stated in the
verses under discussion, mentioned below:

And He placed therein firmly set mountains, and

parked therein from above it, and determined
therein its sustenance in four days equal—for
those who ask. [Al Quran 41: 10]

We need many types of elements heavier than silicon

in our foods. Primarily, these elements were delivered to
Earth in the form of meteorites, as stated in the above
374
verse: ―…parked therein from above it, and determined
therein its sustenance in four days equal…‖
The following verse indicates that the initial Earth did
not contain iron; it descended later:

―And we sent down the iron, wherein there is

strength and many benefits for the people.‖
[Al Quran 57:25]

Thus, the asteroids contained a massive amount of

iron, making up 32.1% of the Earth's composition.
The remaining 7.4% (100 – 60.5 – 32.1) of the matter
consists of the following elements:
1. Sulfur – 2.9 %
2. Nickel – 1.8 %
3. Calcium – 1.5 %
4. The remaining 1.2% consists of trace amounts of
other elements.
Total 7.4 %

These elements (7.4%) serve two main purposes:

1. Some of these elements provide nourishment to living

creatures. Animals require many elements heavier
than silicon in their bodies.

2. Some of these elements are radioactive. These

radioactive elements help maintain the temperature of
the Earth's core. The heat from the molten iron core
sustains continental drift by creating convection
currents in the asthenosphere. In turn, the pressure
from drifting continents prevents high mountains
375
 from sinking into the Earth. Without this, these heavy
mountains would gradually sink over time. For
example, the Indo-Australian plate is continuously
pushing against the Eurasian plate, causing the Great
Himalayan Range to remain elevated. Thus, these
elements contribute to the active crust, mantle, and
core of the Earth, helping to produce and sustain high
mountain ranges.

It is stated in the verses under discussion as follows:

―Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the land

(dust and asteroids) in two days? And do ye join
equals with Him? He is the Lord of the universes.
And He placed therein firmly set mountains
and parked therein from above it (asteroids) and
determined therein its nourishment in four days
equal—for those who ask.‖
[Al Quran 41:9-10]

9. Melting of the Earth

It is likely that the falling matter (7.4%) included some

short-lived radioactive elements. As a result, a large part
of the Earth melted, leading to the formation of the core,
mantle, primitive crust, and atmosphere.
―At some point, the release of energy by radio-active
elements must have melted a large part of the Earth since
this is the only way known for the separation of the
original body of uniform composition into a core and a
mantle. A similar process occurs when impure iron is
melted in a steelwork and the nonmetallic parts separate
376
out to from a low-density slag which floats to the surface.
It was in this way that the primitive crust was formed.‖
– Planet Earth by Peter Owen
in The Encyclopedia of Space Travel and Astronomy
edited by John Man.
The short-lived radioactive elements have long since
decayed, but long-lived radioactive elements, such as
uranium, thorium, and weakly radioactive potassium, are
still present in the Earth. These elements maintain the
temperature of the Earth's core at around 4,000 degrees
Celsius. The indication of this melting can be found in the
following Hadith:

Hadith: ―Allah sent Gabriel to Malik (the chief

angel of Hell) to bring fire from Hell so that
Adam could cook. Malik asked Gabriel, 'How
much fire do you want to take?' Gabriel replied, 'If
I take even a finger of fire, the sky and the earth
will burn.' Malik asked, 'What if half a finger of
fire is taken?' Gabriel said, 'If half a finger of fire
is taken, not a single drop of rain will fall from the
sky, and no tree will grow.' Gabriel then cried out,
'O Allah, how much fire should I take?' Allah
replied, 'The amount of a dust (zarrah).' Gabriel
took the dust of fire, washed it seventy times in
seventy rivers, and placed it on the highest
mountain. The mountain melted, and the fire
returned to its source, leaving its effect in the iron
and stone. Even today, we are using the smoke
from that fire particle.‖ [Dakaikul Akhbar]

377
The Hadith may have been exaggerated as it was passed
from mouth to mouth, but the key points remain intact.
The Hadith states that the fire was brought for Adam, but
this does not imply that Adam was present on Earth at
that time. The Hadith refers to a period when plants had
not yet grown: ―Gabriel said, ‗If half a finger of fire is
taken, not a single drop of rain will fall from the sky, and
no tree will grow.‘‖
The Hadith mentions that a fire particle was brought
from Hell. The galaxies are objects of Hell. They are held
by super-massive black holes that produce the fire.

―And We have adorned the Sky of the world with

lamps (stars), have made such missiles to drive
away the satan, and have prepared for them the
penalty of the blazing fire of hell‖
[Al Quran 67:5]

Hadith: ―During Miraz, I saw in the Seventh Sky,

there were thunder and roaring sound and a group
of people. Their bellies were as big as houses. In
those, there were many snakes, which were being
seen from the outside. I asked to Gabriel, which
kind of people they were? He said, ―It is the scene
of those who devour usury‖ [Bukhari]

One can find a detailed description of the Mi'raj, when

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) observed the objects of Hell
in each of the seven skies [The Hell is deliberately
discussed in Section-27 of Chapter-3.].
The galaxy is a realm of Hell, containing many
different kinds of objects. It is likely that the fire particles
378
were brought from a neutron star, where neutrons could
produce fire through matter-antimatter interactions. It
could also have been a tiny black hole. Hawking
discusses in his book what would happen if a tiny black
hole with the mass of a mountain were brought to Earth:
―If a black hole would have the mass of a mountain
compressed into less than a million millionth of an inch,
the size of the nucleus of an atom! If you had one of these
black holes on the surface of the Earth, there would be no
way to stop it from falling through the floor to the center
of the Earth. It would oscillate through the Earth and
back, until eventually it settled down at the center.‖
– A Brief History of Time by S. W Hawking.
The fire particles brought down by Gabriel melted a
large part of the Earth. As a result, the liquid iron sank to
form the core, while the lighter materials floated to the
surface, creating the Earth's mantle and primitive crust.
As mentioned in the Hadith, the fire returned to its
origin, but its effect remains in the stone and iron. Here,
'stone' refers to the Earth's mantle, and 'iron' refers to the
core. Some of these effects are still sustained by the long-
lived radioactive elements. The iron core maintains a
temperature of around 4,000 degrees Celsius, and the
molten rocks are still boiling.
The heat has made the Earth an active planet, causing
the continents to drift and the mountains to form over
time.
The molten Earth produced the necessary gases to
form the atmosphere, where Adam (actually Eve) could
cook.

379
 ―And He placed therein firmly set mountains and
parked therein from above it and determined
therein its nourishment in four days equal—for
those who ask.‖ [Al Quran 41:10]

These four days began around 4.6 billion years ago with
the falling of short-lived radioactive elements (fire
particles) and ended with the formation of mountains
about 0.6 billion years ago. The above verse states that
these days were equal in length. Therefore, each of these
four days was approximately {(4.6 - 0.6) ÷ 4} = 1 billion
years long.
Scientists calculate the age of the Earth as 4.6 billion
years because the elements, on which their experiments
are based, such as lead, thorium, uranium, argon, etc.,
were delivered to the Earth as meteorites around 4.6
billion years ago.

10. Time

The present cycle of the universe began about 13.6 billion

years ago, and Allah began to make the primitive Earth
suitable for humans around 4.6 billion years ago. This
time was necessary for the formation of galaxies and the
evolution of stars that produced elements heavier than
silicon. It was also needed for the appearance of dark
nights:

―What! Are you more difficult to create, or the

sky? He has constructed it. He has raised its
thickness, and He has given it order and
perfection. Its night does He endow with darkness
380
 and its splendor does He bring out. And the land
moreover has He extended. He draws out there-
from its moisture and its pasture. And the
mountains He firmly fixed: For use and
convenience to you and your cattle.‖
[Al Quran 79:27-33]

The vast universe expanded at tremendous speed,

reducing the intensity of light and heat to the levels
suitable for the convenience of our cattle and us!
After the Milky Way galaxy formed, the Orion Spur
and the Solar System were organized. The Orion Spur is a
safe and peaceful region. Thus, the sky of the Earth was
adorned with the lights (of stars) and protection.

FIGURE 41.10: Milky Way Galaxy

―So, He completed them as Seven Skies in two

Days, and He assigned to each Sky its duty and

381
 command. And We adorned the Sky of the Earth
with lights and with guard. Such is the Decree of
the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge.‖
[Al Quran 41:12]

Different methods of measurement suggest that the

age of the universe is between 8 and 14 billion years.
Scientists estimate 13.6 billion years to be most accurate.
However, in the Six Day Model of Creation, the age of
the universe may be considered shorter, around 6 to 7
billion years.

FIGURE 41.11: Timeline

11. Arguments in favor of Religious View

We recognize the Earth as a special creation of God when

we begin to ask fundamental questions: How was the
atmosphere produced? How was free oxygen generated in
the atmosphere? How were the oceans formed? And so
on. There are no concrete answers to these questions.
382
 If the Earth captured an atmosphere during its
formation, it would have been composed mostly of
heavier gases, such as neon, argon, krypton, and others. If
an atmosphere did exist at that time, it has long since
disappeared. Scientists believe that the present
atmosphere was produced by gases released from the
melted Earth. The presence of free oxygen, however,
remains a mystery. If oxygen had been released from the
melted Earth, it would have reacted with other elements
to form compounds, since oxygen is a highly reactive
element.
Plants produce free oxygen, but unless some of it is
removed, the oxygen recombines, maintaining a balanced
cycle.
And why does oxygen balance at 21 percent of the
atmosphere, rather than at 5 or 50 percent?
In the end, one must acknowledge the models of
science, as they are supported by discoveries in some
points. I am not claiming that my explanation is perfect,
but it too is supported by the same discoveries and aligns
with the teachings of the Books of God.
One must believe, if one has both reason and a soul
willing to submit, that such a finely tuned universe could
not have evolved without the actions of God.

―Do they not look at the sky above them—how

We have made it, and adorned it, and there is no
flaws in it?‖ [Al Quran 50:6]

A few stars show distant signs of having planets. Yet,

many argue that there are trillions of planets in the
universe, and by chance, one has become suitable for life.
383
 However, unless something is produced with intelligence,
it does not take a useful shape.
The Earth that can support life must be a highly
developed planet. It cannot be a self-made home for a
complex creature like us; Allah created it—there is no
doubt whatsoever. He is the Most Intelligent, the Most
High; He is capable of doing whatever He wills. Glory to
Allah—the One and Only.

But if they turn away, say thou: "I have warned you of a
stunning punishment like that which (overtook) the Ad and
the Thamud!" Behold, the messengers came to them from
before them and behind them: "Serve none but Allah". They
said, "If our Lord had so pleased, He would certainly have
sent down angels. Now we reject your mission."

Section 4 of Chapter 41 [Verse 15-16]: ‗Ad

Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land against

truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in
strength?" What! Did they not see that God Who created
them was superior to them in strength? But they continued to
reject Our signs!
So, We sent against them a furious wind through days of
disaster that We might give them a taste of a penalty of
humiliation in this life, but the penalty of hereafter will be
more humiliating still, and they will find no help.

Section 5 of Chapter 41 [Verse 17-18]: Thamud

As to the Thamud, We gave them guidance, but they

preferred blindness to guidance, so the stunning punishment
384
of humiliation seized them because of what they had earned.
But We delivered those who believed and used to guard.

Section 6 of Chapter 41 [Verse 19-23]: There will be no

way to hide the Deeds

On the Day that the enemies of God will be gathered together

to the fire, they will be marched in ranks. At length, when
they reach that their hearing, their sight, and their skins will
bear witness against them as to their deeds.
They will say to their skins: "Why bear ye witness against
us?" They will say: "God has given us speech Who gives
speech to everything. He created you for the first time, and
unto Him were ye to return. Ye did not seek to hide
yourselves lest your hearing, your sight, and your skins
should bear witness against you! But ye did think that God
knew not many of the things that ye used to do! But this
thought of yours, which ye did entertain concerning your
Lord, has brought you to destruction, and have ye become of
those utterly lost!"

Section 7 of Chapter 41 [Verse 24-29]: The Mighty

Dwellers of Hell

If then they have patience, the Fire will be a home for them!
And if they beg to be received into favor, into favor will they
not be received. And We have destined for them intimate
companions who made alluring to them what was before
them and behind them, and the sentence among the previous
generations of jinns and men who have passed away is
proved against them; for they are utterly lost.

385
Remarks:

The first line of above verses, ―If then they have patience,
the fire will be a home for them!‖ is important to
understand the aim of creating humans. Humans are
created as vicegerents of God. The vicegerents posted in
the galaxies of this universe (Samawaat) will be in pain.
A galaxy is a hell for a human. But, if they have patience,
they will learn and evolve to live in the fiery galaxies in
course of time. And the jinns who are created from anti-
matter will assist them.
The jinns are created in this universe (Samawaat), but
the universe is not hostile to them. They are creatures
from a different dimension. The souls (nafses) of the
sinners are developed in such a way that they will have
the ability to communicate with the jinn. This interaction
will allow the sinners to have many tasks performed by
the jinn, much like how Solomon was able to have
various works done by them.
We cannot see the anti-creatures, such as jinns, ifrits,
cherubims, etc., with our material eyes. A human needs
soul (nafs) aided vision (third eye vision) to see them.
This vision will develop in a resurrected human. On the
Land of Judgment, a person will be able to see both the
jinn and the angels.
A human soul (nafs) is a combination of unknown
force fields (yet to be discovered). Some of these force
fields interact with both matter and anti-matter, much like
gravity interacts with both matter and anti-matter. If a
third eye on the forehead could receive radiation from
anti-matter, and if this radiation could produce vision, it

386
 would allow a person to observe entities from other
dimensions.

The Unbelievers say: "Listen not to this Qur'an but talk at

random in the midst of it that ye may gain the upper hand!"
But We will certainly give the Unbelievers a taste of a severe
penalty, and We will requite them for the worst of their
deeds. Such is the requital of the enemies of God, the fire;
therein will be for them the eternal home—requital for that
they were wont to reject Our Signs.
And the Unbelievers will say: "Our Lord! Show us those
among jinns and men who misled us; we shall crush them
beneath our feet so that they become the vilest."

Remarks:

The last line of above verses, ―Our Lord! Show us those

among jinns and men who misled us; we shall crush them
beneath our feet…‖ warrants discussion.
The act of showing will be enough for certain hell-
dwellers to crush those who misled them during their
earthly life. However, none of them will ever die.
The sinners will be scattered throughout the galaxies!
A human will be appointed as a (forgotten) vicegerent of
God over an entire galaxy. Then how will he move from
his galaxy to another to crush his opponent beneath his
feet?
The verse suggests that, over time, the hell-dwellers
will gain the ability to move through the space. A time
may come when many of them will travel through space
in giant spacecrafts, seeking out those who misled them
during their earthly lives.
387
 At that time, the galaxies will be millions of light-
years apart from one another! However, the development
of ever-living humans cannot be assessed at present.
Their spaceships may have the ability to move through
black holes and portals. They may even learn the
techniques of teleportation and time travel. One day, a
person's galaxy might merely serve as his support base,
while he would spend most of his time aboard the
spaceship.
According to the Hadith, a time will come when the
people of Jannaat will be jealous of the people of
Samawaat (hell). It is clear that their jealousy will stem
from seeing the ability and power of the hell-dwellers.
However, a sinner suffering from an extreme nature
may need billions of years to improve, and he will never
find rest. So, strive for Jannaat.

Section 8 of Chapter 41 [Verse 30-32]: People of Jannaat

are Ever Protected

In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is God" and further
stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them:
"Fear ye not! Nor grieve! But receive the Glad Tidings of the
Jannaat that which ye were promised! We are your protectors
in this life and in the hereafter. Therein shall ye have all that
your souls shall desire; therein shall ye have all that ye ask
for—a hospitable gift from one Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful!"

388
Section 9 of Chapter 41 [Verse 33-36]: Preach Islam, Repel
Evil and be Friendly to Each Other

Who is better in speech than one who calls to God, works

righteousness, and says, "I am of those who bow in Islam"?
Nor can goodness and evil be equal; repel with what is better,
then, verily, he between whom and thee there was hatred
becomes as it were thy close friend! And no one will be
granted such goodness except those who exercise patience
and self-restraint—none but persons of the greatest good
fortune.
And if an incitement to discord is made to thee by the
satan, seek refuge in God; He is the One Who hears and
knows all things.

Section 10 of Chapter 41 [Verse 37-40]: The Hour of

Judgment is coming certainly

Among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and
the moon. Adore not the sun and the moon, but adore God
Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve. But, if it are
arrogant—in the presence of thy Lord are those who
celebrate His praises by night and by day, and never are they
tired.
And among His signs is this: thou see the earth in ‗state
down‘, but when We send down rain to it, it shakes and
becomes ‗state up‘. Truly, He Who gives life to the earth can
surely give life to who are dead; for He has power over all
things.

389
 Remarks:

Rain water percolates into the earth and releases stress. It

causes little shakings (earthquakes), not sensible to us.
The water penetrating the earth upsurges minerals and
metal-rich deposits upwards. Thus, the wet earth swells.

Indeed, those who distort Our verses are not hidden from
Us. Which is better, he that is cast into the fire, or he that
comes safe through on the Day of Judgment? Do what ye
will, verily He sees all that ye do.

Section 11 of Chapter 41 [Verse 41-46]: The Quran is not a

Burden; it Guides and Heels

Those who reject the Message when it comes to them—and

indeed it is a Book of exalted power; no falsehood can
approach it from before or behind it; it is sent down by One
Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all Praise.
Nothing is said to thee that were not said to the
messenger before thee that thy Lord has at his command
forgiveness as well as a most grievous penalty.
Had We sent this as a Qur'an other than Arabic, they
would have said, "Why are not its verses explained in detail?
What! Not in Arabic—and an Arab?"
Say, "It is a guide and a healing to those who believe; and
for those who believe not, there is deafness in their ears, and
it is blindness in them, they are being called from a place far,
far-away!"
We certainly gave Moses the book aforetime, but disputes
arose therein. Had it not been for a word that went forth
before from thy Lord (it) would have been settled between
390
them, but they remained in suspicious disquieting doubt
thereon. Whoever works righteousness, benefits his own
soul; whoever works evil, it is against his own soul, nor is thy
Lord ever unjust to His Servants.

Section 12 of Chapter 41 [Verse 47-54]: Allah does

encompass All Things

To Him is attributed knowledge of the Hour. And fruits

emerge not from their coverings, nor does a female conceive
or give birth, except with His knowledge. And the Day He
will call to them, "Where are My ‗partners‘?" They will say,
"We announce to You that there is (no longer) among us any
witness (to that)." The (things) they used to invoke aforetime
will leave them in the lurch and they will perceive that they
have no way of escape.
Man does not weary of asking for good, but if ill touches
him, he gives up all hope, lost in despair. When We give him
a taste of some mercy from Ourselves after some adversity
has touched him, he is sure to say, "This is due to me; I think
not that the Hour will be established, but if I am brought back
to my Lord, I have good (stored) in His sight!"
But We will show the Unbelievers the truth of all that
they did, and We shall give them the taste of a severe penalty.
When We bestow favors on man, he turns away and gets
himself remote on his side; and when evil seizes him—full of
prolonged prayer!
Say: "See ye, if it is from God, and yet do ye reject it,
who is more astray than one who is in a schism far?"
Soon will We show them our signs in the horizons and in
their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is
the truth.
391
 Is it not enough that thy Lord does witness all things?
Ah, indeed, they are in doubt concerning the meeting
with their Lord!
Ah, indeed, it is He that does encompass all things!

 Tafsir of the Surah
Section 1 of Chapter 42 [Verse 1-4]: Inspiration from
Allah

Ha, Mim, Ain, Sin, Qaf. Thus, doth send inspiration to thee
as to those before thee, Allah, Exalted in Power, Full of
Wisdom; to Him belongs all that is in the Skies and Lands,
and He is Most High, Most Great.

Section 2 of Chapter 42 [Verse 5]: Doomsday is Near

The Skies are almost rent asunder from above them, and the
angels celebrate the praises of their Lord and pray for
forgiveness for beings on the Earth. Behold! Verily Allah is
He, the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Remarks:

We have discussed in Section-7 of Chapter-30 that the

universe is contracting from the outermost sky.
Ultimately, it will compact into a Big Crunch, destined to
revive the universe.

―On the day when We will roll up the Skies

(Universe) like the rolling up of the scroll for
writings; as We originated the first creation, We
shall reproduce it—a promise on Us; surely We
will bring it about.‖ [Al Quran 21: 104]

394
 ―Did not they see that We come to the land (future
Land of Judgment) reducing it (this universe)
from its outer boundary (Seventh Sky)? Allah
judges; there is no adjuster of His judgment, and
He is swift, the reckoning.‖ [Al Quran 13: 41]

The present cycle of the universe is entering its final

phase. The Day of Doom is near.

Section 3 of Chapter 42 [Verse 6-8]: Home of Ummah

And those who take as protectors others besides Him, Allah

do watch over them, and thou are not the disposer of their
affairs.
Thus, have We sent by inspiration to thee an Arabic
Qur'an that thou may warn the Mother of Cities and all
around her. And warn of the Day of Assembly, of which
there is no doubt—some will be in the Jannaat, and some in
the Blazing Fire.

Remarks:

According to the above verses, the Quran was sent to

warn the people of a particular area, as it says: ―Thus,
have We sent by inspiration to thee an Arabic Qur'an that
thou may warn the Mother of Cities and all around her.‖
Here ―Mother of Cities‖ is Babylon. ―all around her‖ are
Arabian and Persian people.
Thus, the primary area of the Quran spans from
Morocco to the Pamirs, covering the regions where Arabs
and Persians live. The area is called Darussalam (Home

395
of Peace) in the Quran. In this Tafsir the area is often
called Home of Ummah.

FIGURE 42.1: Darussalam / Home of Peace / Home of

Ummah

The Home of Ummah (Darussalam / Morocco to the

Pamirs) pertains to the method of preaching. Prophet
(pbuh) was instructed through Furqan (chapter-3 to 9) to
preach Islam within this area by defeating the Taghuts
(Powers). The Prophet (pbuh) and his immediate
followers swiftly defeated Roman and Persian Emperors,
and the people of the area embraced Islam in mass.
But the Quran is for all of mankind. According to the
following verse, Islam is meant to be preached beyond
the Home of Ummah by Sufis and Daees (preachers), and
people should embrace Islam through understanding the
Quran, as the following verses state:

396
 ―If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have
believed—all who are on earth! Will thou then
compel mankind against their will, to believe!
No soul can believe, except by the will of
God, and He will place doubt on those who will
not understand.‖ [Al Quran 10:99-100]

The plan of Allah never fails. In reality, Islam was

preached beyond the Home of Ummah, in places like
India, Indonesia, and elsewhere, primarily by Sufis and
Daees (preachers).

If Allah had so willed, He could have made them a single

people, but He admits whom He wills to His Mercy; and the
Wrongdoers will have neither protector nor helper.

Remarks:

The Home of Ummah (Darussalam / Morocco to the

Pamirs) encompasses linguistically and culturally diverse
peoples, primarily grouped into Arabs and Persians.
However, Allah could have made them a single people,
speaking the same language.
But Allah has admitted them into His Mercy and has
made them Muslims. Therefore, the wrongdoers who
create division among Muslims by splitting them into
factions, such as the Shia-Sunni divide, will have no
protector or helper against Allah.
But, fighting is not allowed to neutralize a sect
(Firqa). The first paragraph of the section says: ―…thou
art not the disposer of their affairs.‖ This means that if a
group of people forms an alliance with a wrong leader,
397
 the highest Islamic leadership (Caliph) should not take
action against them; Allah watches over them. He will
judge.

Section 4 of Chapter 42 [Verse 9-12]: Higher Races

What! Have they taken Awliya (guiding friends and

protectors) besides Him? But, it is Allah! He is the Protector,
and it is He Who gives life to the dead; it is He Who has
power over all things.
Whatever it be, wherein ye differ, the decision thereof is
with Allah; such is Allah, my Lord; in Him I trust, and to
Him I turn—the Creator of the Skies and Lands.

Remarks:

The people in the Home of Ummah (Darussalam,

extending from Morocco to the Pamirs) could be a single
people with the same language and cultures, as the verses
of the previous section say, ―If Allah had so willed, He
could have made them a single people…‖ But Allah has
made them different. A major part of the population
speaks Arabic, while the rest primarily speak Farsi.
However, they should not be divided or form alliance
against each other with people from beyond the Home of
Ummah, as the above verses state: ―What! Have they
taken Awliya (guiding friends, helpers, and protectors)
besides Him? But, it is Allah! He is the Protector, and it
is He Who gives life to the dead; it is He Who has power
over all things.‖

398
 They are to follow the Quran to settle their disputes,
as the subsequent verses state: ―Whatever it be, wherein
ye differ, the decision thereof is with Allah‖
And if a dispute is not resolved, they should wait for
Allah to decide (ceasing further action). In any case, a
group cannot accept people from outside as Awliya to
gain the upper hand in the Home of Ummah.

He made for you, from yourselves, pairs (azwajan) and

pairs (azwajan) among cattle—by this means He multiplies
you. There is nothing whatsoever like unto Him, and He is
the One that hears and sees.
To Him belongs the keys of the Skies and Lands; He
enlarges and restricts the sustenance to whom He will; for He
knows full well all things.

Remarks:

In the above verses, the term 'Pairs' (azwajan) does not

refer to married couples—cattle do not marry. It refers to
the 'Pairs' by which both we and the cattle are multiplied,
as the verses state: ―He made for you, from yourselves,
pairs and pairs among cattle—by this means He
multiplies you.‖
Here, ―He made for you, from yourselves, pairs
(azwajan)…‖ means that He creates the special double
helix DNA molecules of sperm and ovum with hereditary
and other traits, as the subsequent verse says: ―…by this
means He multiplies you.‖
A specific genome code is produced after the fusion
of a sperm and an ovum. This code dictates the formation
of the body, including hereditary and other traits.
399
 FIGURE 42.2

A sperm is produced with 23 haploid chromosomes.

Once a sperm enters an ovum, it releases its genetic
material. A new membrane forms around the genetic
material, where the haploid chromosomes prepare to
combine. Being awakened by fertilization, egg‘s
chromosomes are readied to combine with the sperm's 23
haploid chromosomes.

FIGURE 42.3: Formation of Zygote

400
 Then the membranes break down to allow the male
and female genetic material to combine. The
chromosomes then become part of a single nucleus
containing a full set of chromosomes (23 pairs of diploid
chromosomes).
During the fusion of male and female chromosomes,
the specific genetic code of a human is formed, which
determines the traits such as gender, eye color, hair color,
and so forth.
Allah guides the formation of haploid chromosomes
through processes like chromosome crossover and other
mechanisms, as the verses under discussion state: He
made for you, from yourselves, pairs (azwajan) and pairs
among cattle—by this means He multiplies you. There is
nothing whatsoever like unto Him, and He is the One that
hears and sees.
The Haploid Chromosomes carry heredity:

―The One Who made good everything He created

(by guided evolution), and He began the creation
of man (Adam) with tinin (gene expression). Then
He made his progeny from the heredity (carried
by Haploid Chromosomes of sperms) of despised
fluid‖ [Al Quran 32:7-8]

Some offspring are stronger, more intelligent, or taller

than others. Similarly, some races excel in traits like
intelligence, courage, and stature, such as the Persians,
Japanese, Germans, French, British, Spanish, Jews,
Turks, and a few others who show higher traits than other
races. However, this does not mean that they have
become the Awliya (Guiding Friends and Protectors) of
401
 mankind. Allah is the true Awliya. Allah has the power to
improve generations within any race, making them
superior to others.
If one reads history, they will find that at times a few
intelligent and courageous generations within a race have
risen to greatness. For example, during the First and
Second World Wars, a few intelligent, brave, and
dynamic generations emerged in Germany. They rapidly
developed advanced armaments and defeated all
European countries, including the superpowers of the
time, Britain and France.
In this context, the verses mean that all races within
the Muslim Ummah should be honored equally. If an
Arab is leading, a Persian should obey.
Some seeds produce a better harvest. Allah controls
the production through the Pairs (Double Helix DNA
Molecules) to create better seeds. Thus, the verses in the
last paragraph say: ―To Him belongs the keys of the Skies
and Lands; He enlarges and restricts the sustenance to
whom He will; for He knows full well all things.‖
The example of plants is given so that the people of
earlier times could relate. Allah forms the seeds of
humans in the ovaries of their mothers.

Section 5 of Chapter 42 [Verse 13-14]: Examples of the

Old

The same religion has He established for you as that which

He enjoined on Noah, that which We have sent by inspiration
to thee, and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and
Jesus—to establish the religion, and not to be divided therein.

402
 To those who worship other things than Allah, hard is it
to which thou call them. Allah chooses to Himself those
whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn.
And they became divided, only after knowledge reached
them, through selfish envy between themselves. Had it not
been for a word that went forth before from thy Lord to a
term appointed, the matter would have been settled between
them. But truly those who have inherited the book after them
are in suspicious doubt concerning it.

Remarks:

The above verses identify the cause of division as ―selfish

envy between themselves‖.
After Solomon, the Jews experienced internal
conflicts, and the kingdom was divided. Subsequently,
they split into many religious sects, with religious leaders
preaching different ideologies based on varying
interpretations and explanations of the Torah and
concocted Talmud.
Christians are also divided into Catholics, Protestants,
and Orthodox, with other minor sects. The Orthodox are
dominant in Eastern Europe and Russia; Catholics are
dominant in Western Europe, except for England; and
Protestants are predominant in America and Australia.

―From those, too, who call themselves Christians,

We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good
part of the message that was sent them: so we
estranged them with enmity and hatred between
the one and the other to the Day of Judgment. And

403
 soon will God show them what it is they have
done.‖ [Al Quran 5:14]

Political and Religious Leaders divided the people for

selfish envy between themselves.

Section 6 of Chapter 42 [Verse 15-16]: Follow only the

Quran to remain United

Now, then, for that call and stand steadfast as thou are
commanded, and do not follow thou their vain desire, but
say: "I believe in the Book, which Allah has sent down; and I
am commanded to judge justly between you. Allah is our
Lord and your Lord, for us our deeds, and for you your
deeds. There is no contention between you and us; Allah will
bring us together, and to Him is final goal."

Remarks:

The main reasons for sectarian divides (firqa) among

Muslims are Hadith and Fiqh. But these are not
necessarily part of our religion, as the above verses say:
―Now, then, for that call and stand steadfast as thou are
commanded, and do not follow thou their vain desire, but
say: "I believe in the Book, which Allah has sent down‖.
The Book which Allah has sent down is the Quran and
the Quran only.
However, other books such as Sirat (Biography) of
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the books of the Hadiths,
Prophet‘s (pbuh) biography, Holy Bible, Geography,
early Islamic history, modern science, and so on, can be
read for understanding the Quran, but should not be
404
 followed as religion. If Muslims would follow only the
Quran, there would be no division (Firqa) among them.
A Muslim should judge according to the Quran in
cases where punishments for the crimes are specified.
The crimes for which punishments are suggested in the
Quran include adultery, theft, spreading false accusation
against a woman, creating disorder in society, and in
cases riba.
If the punishment for a crime is not mentioned in the
Quran, a Muslim should judge justly, as the verses under
discussion say: ―…say: I believe in the Book, which Allah
has sent down, and I am commanded to judge justly
between you…‖
Punishing a person for an offence is not a religious
obligation if punishment of the offence is not mentioned
in the Quran. For example, the Quran does not mention
any punishment for drinking wine or breaking hijab. So,
punishing for drinking wine or breaking hijab are not
religious obligations. However, if a leadership does it
justly, it may be considered as his good deed. A Leader or
a Parliament should avoid prescribing capital punishment
for such offences.

But those who argue concerning Allah, after response has

been made to Him, futile is their argument in the sight of
their Lord; on them is wrath, and for them will be a penalty
terrible.

Section 7 of Chapter 42 [Verse 17-18]: Sign of Doomsday

It is Allah Who has sent down the Book in Truth and the
Balance; and what will make thee realize that perhaps the
405
Hour is close at hand? Only those wish to hasten it who
believe not in it. Those who believe hold it in awe and know
that it is the Truth. Behold, verily those that dispute
concerning the Hour are far astray.

Remarks:

The Hour is close at hand, but we cannot perceive it due

to the design and evolution of the universe.

FIGURE 42.4: First and Second Skies depicting overall

design of the Universe
406
 We do not know the large-scale structure of the
universe or the true current status of distant galaxies.
When we observe a galaxy five billion light-years away,
we are observing it as it was five billion years ago, not as
it is now.
The Quran gives an idea of the Universe to
comprehend the Dooms Day and after life. The space of
the universe is organized into seven spherical waves, one
inside another, like the layers of an onion. These waves of
space are skies. There are seven skies, and in each sky,
there are many galaxies. See figure above.
The rotation of left-handed and right-handed galaxies
suggests that the universe may be rotating and could have
an axis.

FIGURE 42.5: Axis of the Universe

We are located in the First (Innermost) Sky. The

Great Attractor appears to be at the center of the First
Sky, and it is likely a point on the universal axis.
407
 The galaxies of the First Sky are rotating around the
axis and drifting toward the Great Attractor. The galaxies
of the outer Skies also rotate around the same axis, but
they are drifting toward the central sphere of their
respective Skies. Meanwhile, the universe as a whole is
contracting in diameter. Thus, the universe is contracting
by rolling up the expanding space. Therefore, the
universe is in a state of balance.
In the spinning universe, the belts of voids are being
cleared as the walls are drawing the filaments in. The spin
of the Universe has been increasing from the outermost
sky for about past five billion years.
Thus, the outer skies are collapsing into the inner
skies one after another. Soon, the Second Sky will be
overtaken by the falling Third Sky, and the space of the
First Sky will detach from the overall universe. The
rotation of the First Sky will then slow down, and it will
lose its alignment with the overall order of the universe.
The verses under discussion describe the current state
of balance—the compact walls, the vast voids, and the
flimsy filaments inform us that the Doomsday is near.
We are in the First (Innermost) Sky, and we do not
feel the rotation of the galaxies around the Axis of the
Universe. We only observe their drift toward the Great
Attractor. Soon, the rotational velocity of the First Sky
will slow down, while the drifting motion will shift to
direct motion, and the speed of contraction will increase.
Then the Arrows of Time will reverse in the First Sky, the
Sun will rise from the west, child birth will stop, people
will start remembering the future, and there will be about
40 years left before the Trumpet is blown.

408
 Due to the violent blow of the Trumpet, the First Sky
will explode, rejoining the overall universe. Humans will
die. Over time, all the Skies (Universe) will compact into
a Singularity (Big Crunch). Thus, the universe will
become a bright point on the Face of God. The Face of
God refers to 'His face of nafs,' composed of the force
fields (ruhs) of His nafs, which radiate through 'His face
in form.'
The universe will be reprogrammed and reinitiated by
Allah for Resurrection, Judgment, Salvation, and onward
evolution.
[The matter is deliberately discussed with references
in Section-7 of Chapter-30]

Section 8 of Chapter 42 [Verse 19-20]: Men are Free to

Choose

Gracious is Allah to His servants: He gives sustenance to

whom He pleases, and He has power, and can carry out His
will. To any that desires the tilth of the hereafter, We give
increase in his tilth; and to any that desires the tilth of this
world, We grant somewhat thereof, but he has no share or lot
in the hereafter.

Section 9 of Chapter 42 [Verse 21-26]: Love for Prophet‘s

(pbuh) Near of Kin (Muadata fi Qurba) and Islamic
Leadership

What! Have they partners who have established for them

some religion without the permission of Allah? Had it not
been for the decree of Judgment, the matter would have been

409
decided between them, but verily the Wrongdoers will have a
grievous penalty.

Remarks:

There is one God, and Muslims follow one Book (the

Quran). Therefore, they should remain united. If some
Muslims separate and form a sect, they are like those who
attribute partners to God, as the verses state: ―What! Have
they partners who have established for them some
religion without the permission of Allah?‖

Thou will see the Wrongdoers in fear on account of what

they have earned, and that must fall on them. But those who
believe and work righteous deeds will be in the luxuriant
meads of the Jannaat; they shall have before their Lord all
that they wish for—that will indeed be the magnificent
bounty.

Remarks:

The Chapter is about making sects (firqa). Here,

Wrongdoers are people who make the sects.

That is whereof Allah gives glad tidings to His servants

who believe and do righteous deeds; say, ―Not I ask you for it
any payment except to love (my) near kin (Muadata fi
Qurba)."
And if any one earns any good, We shall give him an
increase of good in respect thereof; for Allah is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate.

410
Remarks:

The Muslims must remain united as an Ummah. The

unity demands a leadership. The above verses give the
guidance to select the leadership: ―That is whereof Allah
gives glad tidings to His servants who believe and do
righteous deeds; say, ―Not I ask you for it any payment
except to love (my) near kin (Muadata fi Qurba)"
Thus, the Highest Islamic Leadership should be a
descendant of Hazrat Hasan or Hazrat Hussain (Muadata
fi Qurba). The verse does not directly instruct to select
one of them as the leader, but it emphasizes 'love for
them' (Muadata fi Qurba) in context of discussing the
sectarian divide. Therefore, it instructs Muslims to remain
united as an Ummah under one of them.
They are necessary for the unity, because the Ummah
comprises many races, such as Arabs, Turks, Persians,
and others. A person from one race may be reluctant to
obey someone from another race. But, if the Highest
Islamic Leadership is from Hazrat Hasan or Hazrat
Hussain, everyone will love and respect him, as guided in
the Quran.
The Highest Islamic Leadership should come from
the descendants of Hazrat Hasan or Hazrat Hussain, and
anybody may be selected by him as subordinate leaders,
or he may allow the people to elect them. The Hashemites
are known for their intelligence, and they are historically
proven good leaders. Their legacy has been recognized
for hundreds of years.

411
 What! Do they say, "He has forged a falsehood against
Allah"? But if Allah willed, He could seal up thy heart. And
Allah blots out vanity and proves the truth by His words; for
He knows well the secrets of all hearts.
He is the One that accepts repentance from His servants
and forgives sins, and He knows all that ye do.
And He listens to those who believe and do deeds of
righteousness and gives them increase of His bounty, but for
the Unbelievers there is a terrible penalty.

Section 10 of Chapter 42 [Verse 27-31]: Causes of

Measured Provision– Do not lose Hope and do not accept
Wrong Awliya (Guiding Friends, Helpers and Protectors)

If Allah were to enlarge the provision for His servants, they

would indeed transgress beyond all bounds through the earth,
but he sends down in due measure as He pleases; for He is
with His servants Well-Acquainted, Watchful.
He is the One that sends down rain after (men) have
given up all hope and scatters His mercy; and He is the
Protector, Worthy of all Praise.
And among His signs is the creation of the Skies and
Lands, and the living creatures that He has scattered through
them; and He has power to gather them together when He
wills.
Whatever misfortune happens to you is because of the
things your hands have wrought, and for many He grants
forgiveness.
Nor can you frustrate through the earth, nor have ye
besides Allah any one to protect or to help.

412
 Remarks

The cause of providing in due measure is for the good of

the Believers. Allah is always with them, so they should
not fear hunger or misfortune, nor should they make
alliances with the wrong people for aid. The wrong
awliya (guiding friends, helpers, and protectors) mislead,
divide, and ultimately destroy them.

Section 11 of Chapter 42 [Verse 32-36]: People that come

by Ships (People of European Origin) / The Policy of
Retaliation

And among His signs are the ships smooth-running through

the ocean as mountains. If it be His will, He can still the
wind, then would they become motionless on the back of it.
Verily, in this are signs for everyone who patiently
perseveres and is grateful.
Or, He can cause them to perish because of which (they)
have earned, but much does He forgive. But let those know
who dispute about Our verses that there is for them no way of
escape. Whatever ye are given is a convenience of this life.

Remarks

Above verses are indirectly pointing out the European

People who used to come by ships. Many established
wrong alliances with them, and they divided the Muslims
into political and religious groups with a view to suppress
them in piecemeal and rule.
The people who come by the ships were supposed to
be punished for whatever they had done, as the verses
413
 say: ―Or, He can cause them to perish because of which
(they) have earned, but much does He forgive.‖
They have a lot of resources, but those are for the
short earthly life, as the verses say: ―But let those know
who dispute about Our verses that there is for them no
way of escape. Whatever ye are given is a convenience of
this life.‖
Thereby, they are advised not to act against the
Muslims following the Quran.

Section 12 of Chapter 42 [Verse 36-43]: Guidance for the

Ordinary Muslims

But that which is with Allah is better and more lasting for
those who believe and put their trust in their Lord; those who
avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds, and when they
are angry even then forgive; those who hearken to their Lord
and establish salat, who (conduct) their affairs by mutual
consultation, who spend out of what We bestow on them for
sustenance, and those who when an oppressive wrong is
inflicted on them help and defend themselves—the
recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto, but if a
person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due
from Allah; for (Allah) loves not those who do wrong.
But indeed, if any do help and defend themselves
after a wrong to them, against such there is no cause of
blame. The blame is only against those who oppress men
with wrongdoing and insolently transgress beyond bounds
through the land defying right and justice; for such there will
be a penalty grievous.

414
 But indeed, if any show patience and forgive, that would
truly be an exercise of courageous will and resolution in the
conduct of affairs.

Remarks

What the ordinary Muslims should do under the

Leadership of the Local Mosque is described in above
verses. The Imam of the Local Mosque should decide
upon a common affair after consulting the elderly people,
as the verses say: ―…those who hearken to their Lord and
establish regular Prayer, who (conduct) their affairs by
mutual consultation…‖
Actually, the leadership at all levels should take
decision through consultation.
For an ordinary Muslim, the Caliphate is too great an
establishment. He can hardly do anything for the Highest
Islamic Leadership / Caliph. However, he should have
good wishes for him. And he should not answer the call
of an opposing leadership.

Section 13 of Chapter 42 [Verse 44-50]: Hearken before

reaching the Point of Culmination

For any whom Allah leaves astray, there is no protector

thereafter. And thou will see the wrongdoers when in sight of
the penalty say: "Is there any way (to) a return?"
And thou will see them brought forward to it in a humble
frame of mind; because of disgrace, looking with a stealthy
glance, and the Believers will say, "Those are indeed in loss
who have given to perdition their own-selves and those
belonging to them on the Day of Judgment." Behold! Truly
415
the Wrongdoers are in a lasting penalty! And no protectors
have they to help them other than Allah.
And for any whom Allah leaves to stray, there is no way.
Hearken ye to your Lord before comes a Day, no averting
for it from Allah, not for you any refuge that Day, and not for
you any denial!
If then they run away, We have not sent thee as a guard
over them; thy duty is but to convey.
And truly, when We give man a taste of a mercy from
Ourselves, he does exult thereat; but when some ill happens
to him on account of the deeds, which his hands have sent
forth, truly then is man ungrateful!
To Allah belongs the dominion of the Skies and Lands.
He creates what He wills. He bestows male or female (child)
according to His Will, or He bestows both males and females
(child), and He leaves barren whom He will; for He is full of
Knowledge and Power.

Section 14 of Chapter 42 [Verse 51-53]: Follow only the

Quran

It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him

except by revelation (wahyun), or from behind a veil, or by
the sending of a messenger to reveal with Allah's permission
what Allah wills; for He is Most High, Most Wise.
And thus have We by Our Command sent revelation
(ruhun) to thee; thou knew not what Revelation was, and
what was Faith, but We have made it a Light wherewith We
guide such of Our servants as We will. And verily, thou dost
guide to the Straight Way, the Way of Allah, to Whom
belongs whatever is in the Skies and whatever is on lands.
Behold! To Allah reach all affairs!
416
Remarks

As the above verses say, Allah speaks to a man in three

ways:
 By revelation (wahi sent to Prophets)
 From behind a veil (as in the case of Moses; Allah
talked to him from behind a veil of fire)
 By sending a messenger (angel)

The wahi (revelation) is sent by Allah directly into the

mind of a human. The religious teachings of Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) were wahi. This is mentioned in the
following verse:

―And he does not speak of his own desires; he

speaks but revelation (wahiun)‖.
[Al Quran 53:3-4]

Many consider the books of Hadith, such as Bukhari,

Muslim, Tirmidhi, etc., as wahi and books from Allah,
and believe they must be followed.
But this chapter (Surah) suggests following only the
Quran, as it states: ―…say: I believe in the Book, which
Allah has sent down (Quran), and I am commanded to
judge justly between you…‖
So, the condition of such revelations (wahi) is
described below:

―Never did We send (wahi) to an apostle or a

prophet before thee, but, when he framed a desire,
satan threw something into his desire: but God
417
 will abolishes anything that satan throws in, and
God will establish His verses; for God is full of
Knowledge and Wisdom:‖ [Al Quran 22:52]

But not every 'suggestion thrown in by Satan' is

abolished by Allah, due to the reason mentioned in the
next verse:

―That He may make the suggestions thrown in by

satan but a trial for those in whose hearts is a
disease and who are hardened of heart: verily the
Wrongdoers are in a schism far:‖
[Al Quran 22:53]

In this situation, what a person of knowledge should

do is narrated in the next verse:

―And that those on whom knowledge has been

bestowed may learn that the (Qur'an) is the Truth
from thy Lord, and that they may believe therein,
and their hearts may be made humbly to it; for
verily God is the Guide of those who believe, to
the Straight Way.‖ [Al Quran 22:54]

Thus, the Quran is the Truth beyond doubt, and we

should follow only the Quran.
The Prophet (pbuh) forbade writing the Hadith, and
this was also prohibited by the early Caliphs. The Hadiths
were collected about a hundred years later. During this
time, Satan had greater opportunities to corrupt the
Hadiths by planting further suggestions in the minds of
the narrators and collectors.
418
 Only the Quran is the Truth beyond doubt, because it
was not sent as wahi, but as ruh. The ruhs were brain-data
from electromagnetic force fields, carrying the brain-data
of the verses. The data was inserted by angels directly
into the database (dhikra) of Prophet Muhammad‘s
(pbuh) brain. The database (dhikra) was placed in the
Prophet‘s brain in the Cave of Hira, when he said that he
could not read and Gabriel embraced him. From the
brain, the data of the verses would enter his mind
whenever he intended. Therefore, there was no scope for
distortion, as the verses were printed directly into the
database of Prophet‘s (pbuh) brain, in proper order of the
Quran, as written in the Lawh-Mahfuz.

―…and We have sent down unto thee dhikra

(data-base of the Quran given into his brain) that
‗you may narrate‘ (litubayyina ) to men what is
sent for them; and that they may give thought
(yatafakkaruna). [Al Quran 16:44]

The Prophet‘s (pbuh) duty was to narrate (bayyina)

the verses to the followers for which he was given dhikra,
and the duties of the followers were to give thought
(yatafakkaruna). This is also mentioned in the following
verse:

―Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an)

to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect
it and to promulgate it. But, when We have
promulgated it, follow thou its recital. Nay
more, it is for Us to narrate it:
[Al Quran 75:16-19]
419
 The Prophet (pbuh) could not declare anything
beyond the Quran as part of the religion. This is
understood from the following verse:

―And if the apostle were to invent any sayings in

Our name, We should certainly seize him by his
right hand, and We should certainly then cut off
the artery of his heart: [Al Quran 69:44-46]

The context of the chapter (Surah) addresses sectarian

division (Firqa). Therefore, following the Hadiths is
discouraged in the verses under discussion, as it leads to
the division of Muslims into sects. A Muslim should be
simply a Muslim and follow only the Quran as the Book
of religion.
The Hadith can be read as a source of knowledge, but
not as a source of religion. The Hadith, the Prophet‘s
(pbuh) biography, the Holy Bible, early Islamic history,
modern science, and so on, are all parts of hikmah that
help in understanding the Quran.

Endeavor to bring the People in Truth

Section 1 of Chapter 43 [Verse 2-4]: Mother of the Book

Ha, Mim. By the Book that makes things clear, We have

made it a Qur'an (Recitation) in Arabic that ye may be able to
understand. And verily, it is in the Mother of the Book, in
Our Presence, high, full of wisdom.

Remarks:

We know about a Pen and a Saving Disc (Lawh-Mahfuz)

from the Quran and the Hadith. These are parts of a
highly developed computer. I call it ―Central Computer of
the Universes‖ or ―CCU‖ in short.
The above verses refer to another major part of the
CCU, called the 'Mother of the Book.' The Mother of the
Book can give birth to a Book. So, it is a highly
developed motherboard with various circuits and other
components.

FIGURE 43.1: Motherboard of a Manmade Computer

422
 The CCU is a vast system. Its disc (Lawh-Mahfuz)
may be larger than the Earth, revolving in the Arsh. It
keeps records of everything.
[The CCU is deliberately discussed in Section-9 of
Chapter-6]

Section 2 of Chapter 43 [Verse 5-22]: People following

their Fathers‘ Footsteps

Shall We then take away the Message from you and repel; for
that ye are a people transgressing beyond bounds.
But, how many were the prophets We sent among the
peoples of old? And never came there a prophet to them but
they mocked him. So, We destroyed stronger in power than
these and has passed example of the former.
If thou were to question them: Who created the Skies and
Lands? They would be sure to reply: They were created by
the Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge.
Has made for you the land spread out and has made for
you paths therein in order that ye may find guidance.

Remarks:

The continental plates have drifted apart, causing the land

to spread out. The interactions at the plate boundaries
have formed wide and high mountain ranges. These
mountain ranges have paths that allow humans to settle in
suitable places and move even from one continent to
another, such as the Khyber Pass.

423
 The modern roads built through the high mountain
ranges primarily follow these naturally created paths. If
the paths had not been created by God, it would have
been nearly impossible for humans to construct roads
through the hilly terrains.
Only the China-Myanmar Mountain Barrier does not
have a natural crossing route. This is also by design of
God. The history of mankind would have been different if
crossing in mass with heavy loads had been possible.

FIGURE 43.2: Black Line- China-Myanmar Mountain

Barrier

However, in modern times, the barrier is crossed by

roads and bridges built as part of the Chinese Belt and
Road Initiative, without using natural paths at several
points, through heavy engineering efforts and modern
technologies.

424
 That sends down rain from the sky in due measure, and
We raise to life therewith a land that is dead—so will ye be
raised.
That has created Pairs (DNA Double Helix) in all things
and has made for you ships and cattle on which ye ride. In
order that ye may sit firm and square on their backs, and
when so seated, ye may celebrate the favor of your Lord and
say: "Glory to Him Who has subjected these to us, for we
could never have accomplished this, and to our Lord surely
must we turn back!"

Remarks:

A horse is made from flesh and bones, and a ship is made

from wood. But both are created from 'Pairs' (double
helix DNA molecules). Thus, the verses of the last
paragraph say: ―That has created Pairs (DNA Double
Helix) in all things and has made for you ships and cattle
on which ye ride…‖
Chemically, the genomes of all living cells are the
same, but they differ in information content—one creates
a horse, another creates a tree.
The brain of a domestic animal is programmed
through gene expression during its development in the
mother‘s womb. A donkey can carry loads, but a zebra
cannot be trained to do the same: ―Glory to Him Who has
subjected these to us, for we could never have
accomplished this, and to our Lord surely must we turn
back.‖

Yet they attribute to some of His servants a share with

Him! Truly is man a blasphemous ingrate avowed!
425
 What! Has He taken daughters out of what He himself
creates, and granted to you sons for choice? When news is
brought to one of them of what he sets up as a likeness to
Most Gracious, his face darkens, and he is filled with inward
grief! Is then one brought up among trinkets and unable to
give a clear account in a dispute!
And they make into females angels who themselves serve
God. Did they witness their creation? Their evidence will be
recorded, and they will be called to account!
They say, "If it had been the will of Most Gracious, we
should not have worshipped such!" Of that they have no
knowledge! They do nothing but lie!
What! Have We given them a Book before this to which
they are holding fast? Nay! They say: "We found our fathers
following a certain religion, and we do guide ourselves by
their footsteps."

Section 3 of Chapter 43 [Verse 23-44]: But their Fathers

too did not accept the Truth

Just in the same way, whenever We sent a Warner before

thee to any people the wealthy ones among them said: "We
found our fathers following a certain religion, and we will
certainly follow in their footsteps."
He said: "What! Even if I brought you better guidance
than that which ye found your fathers following?"
They said: "For us, we deny that ye are sent."
So, We extracted retribution from them. Now see what
was the end of those who rejected!
Behold! Abraham said to his father and his people: "I do
indeed clear myself of what ye worship—only Him Who
made me; and He will certainly guide me." And he left it as a
426
word to endure among those who came after him that they
may turn back.
Yea, I gave enjoyment to these and their forefathers until
came to them the Truth and a Messenger clear. But when the
Truth came to them, they said: "This is sorcery, and we do
reject it."
Also, they say: "Why is not this Qur'an sent down to
some leading man in either of the two cities?" Is it they who
would portion out the mercy of thy Lord? It is We Who
portion out between them their livelihood in the life of this
world, and We raise some of them above others in ranks so
that some may command work from others. But the mercy of
thy Lord is better than that which they amass.
And were it not that men might become a one
community, We would provide for everyone that blasphemes
against Most Gracious silver roofs for their houses and stair-
ways on which to go up, and doors to their houses, and
thrones on which they could recline, and also adornments of
gold, but all these were nothing but conveniences of the
present life. The hereafter in the sight of thy Lord is for the
guards.
If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of Most
Gracious, We appoint for him a satan to be an intimate
companion to him. Such really hinder them from the Path,
but they think that they are being guided aright! At length,
when comes to Us, he says: "Would that between me and
thee were the distance of east and west!"
Ah! Satan is the companion when ye have done wrong; it
will avail you nothing that Day—that ye shall be partners in
punishment!
Can thou then make the deaf to hear, or give direction to
the blind, or to such as in manifest error—even if We take
427
thee away, We shall be sure to exact retribution from them.
Or, We shall show thee that which We have promised them;
for verily We shall prevail over them.
So, hold thou fast to the revelation sent down to thee;
verily thou are on a Straight Way; it is indeed the message for
thee and for thy people, and soon shall ye be brought to
account.

Section 4 of Chapter 43 [Verse 45-56]: Their Fathers in

Egypt were Rejected.

And question thou our messengers whom We sent before

thee. Did We appoint any deities, other than (God) Most
Gracious, to be worshipped? We did send Moses aforetime
with Our Signs to Pharaoh and his Chiefs. He said, "I am a
Messenger of the Lord of the universes."
But when he came to them with Our signs, behold they
ridiculed them. We showed them sign after sign, each greater
than its fellow, and We seized them with punishment in order
that they might turn.
And they said, "O thou Sorcerer! Invoke thy Lord for us
according to His covenant with thee, for we shall truly accept
guidance." But when We removed the penalty from them,
behold, they broke their word.
And Pharaoh proclaimed among his people, saying: "O
my people! Does not the dominion of Egypt belong to me—
these streams flowing underneath my (town)? What! See ye
not then! Am I not better than this who is a contemptible
wretch and can scarcely express himself clearly? Then, why
are not gold bracelets bestowed on him or come (not) with
him angels accompanying him in procession?"

428
 Thus, did he make fools of his people, and they obeyed
him—truly were they a people rebellious. When at length,
they provoked Us, We exacted retribution from them, and
We drowned them all, and We made them of the past and an
example to later ages.

Section 5 of Chapter 43 [Verse 57-65]: A Prophet came

with Extreme Signs

When the Son of Mary is held up as an example, behold, thy

people raise a clamor thereat! And they say, "Are our gods
best, or he?" This they set forth to thee only by way of
disputation. Yea, they are a contentious people.
He was no more than a servant. We granted Our favor to
him, and We made him an example to the Children of Israel.
And if it were Our Will, We could make angels from among
you succeeding each other on the earth.
And indeed, Jesus is knowledge of the Hour, so be not in
doubt of it and follow Me; this is a Straight Path. Let not the
satan hinder you; for he is to you an enemy avowed.

Remarks:

In above verses, two important aspects of Jesus are

highlighted: he was an ‗Example to the Children of
Israel‘ and he is the ‗Knowledge of the Hour‘.

1. Jesus, an example to the Children of Israel

The mother of Mary vowed that if she bore a child, she

would dedicate him to God. The process of creating Jesus
likely began at that time.
429
 A human can be genetically designed to give birth to
an angel, as the verses state: ―And if it were Our Will, We
could make angels from among you succeeding each
other on the earth.‖
Mary was married to Joseph at the age of twelve, but
she conceived before the wedding ceremony. An angel
informed Joseph about the conception.
According to the Christian account, one night Gabriel
visited Mary and announced to her that she was to be the
mother of the promised Messiah, conceiving him through
the Holy Spirit. She accepted his divine will with perfect
humility and responded, 'I am the handmaid of the Lord.
Let it be done unto me according to your word."
According to the Quran she said:

―She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son

when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even
so; God creates what He wills; when He hath
decreed a plan, He but says to it, "Be," and it is!‖
[Al Quran 3:47]

Gabriel is not only a messenger; he is also an expert

surgeon. Just before Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
embarked on the Miraj (Night Journey), Gabriel
performed a procedure on his chest. He had also operated
on Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) during his childhood.
According to God's instruction, Gabriel likely took a
cell from Mary and used genetic engineering to modify it
to produce Jesus Christ. He then implanted the cell into
her womb. In this sense, Jesus could be considered a
clone of Mary, though his genome was developed further.
His body was designed to allow free access and
430
interaction to the Holy Soul (Ruhul Quddus). It made
Jesus a human of different species, but not a God, as the
following verse indicate:

―The similitude of Jesus before God is as that of

Adam; He created him from zygote (turabin) then
said to him: "Be". And he was‖ [Al Quran 3.59]

The Holy Soul is a ruh (elementary soul) of God,

extending from His nafs (composite soul) and permeating
His body in form. The Holy Soul is not Gabriel.
The Holy Soul (Ruhul Quddus) acted on the body of
Jesus and aided Him in speaking in certain situations.
Thus, the words of God were placed into the mouth of
Jesus, and the Gospel came into being in this way.
The Gospel was not sent like the Book of Moses, as
written tablets. It did not come like the Quran, where the
verses were carried by Gabriel as brain-data (ruhs). The
Gospel also did not come in visions, as with the Books of
other Prophets (the Book of Revelation came as vision).
Instead, the Gospel was conveyed through the Holy Soul
and expressed through the mouth of Jesus.

―Then will God say: ―O Jesus the Son of Mary!

Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother.
Behold! I strengthened thee with the Holy Soul
(Ruhul Quddus); you speak to the people in the
cradle and in maturity…‖ [Al Quran 5:110]

―O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in

your religion, nor say of God aught but the truth.
Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, was a Messenger of
431
 God, and His speech—he shined in Mary—and a
Ruh (Holy Soul) in free access. So, believe in God
and His Messengers. Say not "Trinity", desist, it
will be better for you; for God is One God...‖
[Al Quran 4:171]

Jesus was human. He had a human body with nafs

and ruh. Additionally, his body was suited to interact with
the Ruhul Quddus (Holy Soul).
Allah has extended many of His force fields (ruhs /
elementary souls) beyond His 'body in form.' He designed
these extended elementary souls to act in fixed patterns
and infused them into space (did istawa) to sustain and
evolve creation. The gravitational force field is one such
soul. The extended force fields make up His 'hands of
nafs.' The entire universe is in the palm of His right hand
(hand of nafs).

Note:

1. Allah has a form as well, and in that form, He has

hands in form. He appears like a human.
2. Humans have discovered only four types of force
fields. The force fields (ruhs) that form the nafs of
Allah and His creatures have not yet been
discovered [The soul is deliberately discussed in
Section-1 of Chapter-1 and in Section-10 of
Chapter-6].

Similarly, the Holy Soul (Ruhul Quddus) is an

extended force field (ruh/elementary soul) of Allah, but it
is not designed to act in fixed patterns (which is why it is
432
Holy). The soul is primarily meant for connecting with
the intended humans. It aided Jesus in speaking on many
occasions and also helped him perform miracles.
Thus, Jesus was an example of spirituality. He was a
sign of Sufism. This is discussed in Section 6 of Chapter
18.

Note:

Angel Gabriel can also be called the Holy Soul when

describing an act in which he was directly aided by
the Holy Soul—where the Holy Soul was actually
acting through Gabriel.

2. Jesus, the Knowledge of the Hour

In the above verses, Jesus is also referred to as the

'Knowledge of the Hour.' The Books of Jesus provide
prophetic knowledge of the end times. His book, the
Book of Revelation, broadly discusses the following in
regard to the end times:
 Revival of Roman Empire.
 Arrival of Hazrat Omar.
 Arrival of Imam Mahdi.
 Arrival of Anti-Christ
 Rise of a Beast from the Earth.
 Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
 Fall of the Daughter of Babylon.
 War with Gog and Magog.
 Establishment of the Kingdom of God (that runs
according to the Laws of God).

433
 I have discussed the end time events deliberately in
Section-7 of Chapter-27.
Now, people are interested in his return, but after his
return, their main concern will be Doomsday. And if
someone were to ask Jesus about the Doomsday, the
answer may come directly from God through his Ruhul
Quddus.

―…The words that I have spoken to you,‖ Jesus

said to his disciples, ―do not come from me. The
Father (Almighty God) Who remains in me, does
his Own work.‖ – John 14:10, Holy Bible.

[In the above verse, some people have inserted 'Father.'

This is a corruption. Most likely, 'Rabb' was translated as
'Father,' which goes against the concepts of the Torah and
the Quran]

When Jesus came with clear signs, he said: "Now have I

come to you with wisdom, and in order to make clear to you
some of the (points) on which ye dispute. Therefore, guard
for the sake of God and obey me; for God, He is my Lord and
your Lord, so worship ye Him; this is a Straight Way."
But, sects from among themselves fell into
disagreement—then woe to the wrongdoers from the penalty
of a Grievous Day!

Reward and Punishment Justified

Section 6 of Chapter 43 [Verse 66-73]: Jannaat

Do they only wait for the Hour that it should come on them
all of a sudden, while they perceive not? Friends on that day
will be foes one to another, except the guards.
My devotees! No fear shall be on you that Day, nor shall
ye grieve; those who have believed in Our Signs and bowed
in Islam—enter ye the Jannaat, ye and your wives rejoicing.
To them will be passed round dishes and goblets of gold;
there will be there all that the souls could desire, all that their
eyes could delight in, and ye shall abide therein.
Such will be the Jannaat of which ye are made heirs for
your deeds.
Ye shall have therein abundance of fruit from which ye
shall have satisfaction.

Section 7 of Chapter 43 [Verse 74-77]: Endless Hell

The sinners will be in the Punishment of Hell to dwell

therein. Nowise will it be lightened for them, and in despair
will they be there overwhelmed. Nowise shall We be unjust
to them, but it is they who have been unjust themselves.
They will cry: "O Malik! Would that thy Lord put an end
to us!" He will say, "Nay, but ye shall abide!"

Remarks:

Malik is the chief angel of hell. Prophet (pbuh) saw him

during the Miraj (Night Journey).
435
 We chose to become the vicegerents of God, and so,
God has arranged tests on Earth to determine our final
destinations.
The person who would pass in the test will be a
vicegerent of God in the Jannaat (another universe /
paradise), and the person who would fail in the test will
be a vicegerent of God in the Samawaat (this universe /
hell).
The Samawaat is filled with anti-matter and burning
galaxies. Essentially, the Samawaat is the home of the
jinn. The human who follow the satanic jinn will be
vicegerents of God in the galaxies, which are objects of
hell.
No angel will come to hell to beat the hell-dwellers
with a stick or throw them into the pits of fire. The
sinners will be punished due to the very nature of their
abode. There will be fire everywhere and painful natural
disasters. Their punishments will not be reduced, as the
verses under discussion state: ―They will cry: "O Malik!
Would that thy Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Nay,
but ye shall abide!‖‖

Conclusion

Section 8 of Chapter 43 [Verse 78-83]: Leave them to

Babble and Play

Verily, We have brought the Truth to you, but most of you

have a hatred for Truth.
What! Have they settled some plan? But it is We Who
settle things.
436
 Or, do they think that We hear not their secrets and their
private counsels? Indeed, and Our messengers (angels) are
beside them to record.
Say: "If Most Gracious had a son, I would be the first to
worship." Glory to the Lord of the Skies and Lands, the Lord
of the Arsh, from the things they attribute!
So, leave them to babble and play until they meet that
Day of theirs, which they have been promised.

Section 9 of Chapter 43 [Verse 84-89]: Soon shall they

know

It is He Who is God in the Sky and God on the Lands, and He

is full of Wisdom and Knowledge. And blessed is He to
Whom belongs the dominion of the Skies and Lands and all
between them; with Him is the knowledge of the Hour, and to
Him shall ye be brought back.
And those whom they invoke besides God have no power
of intercession; only he who bears witness to the Truth, and
they know.
If thou ask them, who created them; they will certainly
say, God. How then are they deluded away?
Of the cry, "O my Lord! Truly these are people who will
not believe!"?
So, turn away from them and say, "Peace!" But soon shall
they know.

Section 1 of Chapter 44 [Verse1-7]: Revelation of the
Quran

Ha, Mim. By the Book that makes things clear. We sent it

down during a blessed night; for We wish to warn. In that is
made distinct every affair of wisdom by command from Our
presence. Indeed, We send as Mercy from thy Lord—for He
hears and knows, the Lord of the Skies and Lands and all
between them—if ye have an assured faith.
438
Section 2 of Chapter 44 [Verse 8-16]: The Land of Final
Judgment

There is no god but He; it is He Who gives life and gives

death, the Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest
ancestors, yet they play about in doubt.
Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth
a kind of smoke, plainly visible, enveloping the mankind—
this will be a penalty grievous: "Our Lord! Remove the
Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"
How the message shall be for them seeing that a
Messenger explaining things clearly have come to them, yet
they turn away from him and say: "Tutored a man
possessed!"
We shall indeed remove the penalty for a while; truly, ye
will revert. One Day We shall seize you with a mighty
onslaught; We will indeed exact retribution!

Remarks:

There are different opinions about the smoke mentioned

in the above verses, but the verses clearly narrate the Day
of Judgment. It speaks of a smoke that will envelop all of
mankind (resurrected mankind): ―…a kind of smoke,
plainly visible, enveloping the mankind…‖
On the Day of Judgment, the extremely contracted
universe (Big Crunch) will unroll and move into the right
hand (hand of nafs) of Allah, when matter will revive and
mankind will be resurrected.

439
 The matter of the Solar System, along with
resurrected living creatures, will be ejected from the
universe. At that time, the universe will be halted in the
state of Thaqal (Heavy Mass). The ejected solar matter
and the resurrected living creatures will form the Land of
Judgment, situated at a safe distance in the Super Space.
The Sun and Jupiter contain a vast quantity of smoke.
Therefore, the Land of Judgment, formed from solar
matter, will be covered with smoke. This smoke will be
removed to allow the Judgment to take place in a better
environment.
After the Judgment, the sinners and the Land of
Judgment will be thrown back into the universe (Thaqal),
which will be unrolling violently at that time to revive the
universe (Samawaat/Skies). Thus, the sinners will revert,
as the verses say: We shall indeed remove the penalty for
a while; truly, ye will revert.
[I have discussed the Final Judgment deliberately in
Section-6 of Chapter-39]

Section 3 of Chapter 44 [Verse 17-29]: Passion of the

Universe for Humans

We did before them try the people of Pharaoh. There came to

them a messenger most honorable, saying: "Restore to me the
servants of God. I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust.
And be not arrogant as against God; for I come to you with
authority manifest. For me, I have sought safety with my
Lord and your Lord against your injuring me. If you believe
me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."
Then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people
given to sin."
440
 March forth with My servants by night, for ye are sure to
be pursued. And leave the sea as a furrow, for they are a host
to be drowned.
How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,
and cornfields, and noble buildings, and wealth wherein they
had taken such delight—thus, and We made other people
inherit—and neither sky nor land shed a tear over them, nor
were they given a respite.

Remarks:

The last line of above verses is interesting, ―…neither sky

nor land shed a tear over them…‖
Does the sky and the land shed tear for anyone? But,
once it is said in the Quran, definitely it cries for some
people.
The universe has evolved for humans. The Earth was
formed from matter produced through a tough process.
The stars had to explode to create the gold that women
wear as ornaments (gold is produced during supernova
explosions).
If the universe has undergone so much pain for
humans, it should feel for them. In fact, Allah loves
humans, so the creatures show affinity toward them. Even
the mighty angels of the Arsh pray for the well-being of
humans.

―Those (angels) who carry the Arsh, and those

around it exalt with praise of their Lord and
believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who
have believed: "Our Lord, You have encompassed
all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive
441
 those who have repented and followed Your way
and protect them from the punishment of hell-
fire.‖ [Al Quran 40:7]

The force fields, energies, and matter are conscious,

which can be understood from the following experiment:

FIGURE 44.1: Wave-Particle Duality

―A laser beam illuminates a plate pierced by two

parallel slits, and the light passing through the slits is
observed on a screen behind the plate. The wave nature
of light causes the light waves passing through the two
slits to interfere, producing bright and dark bands on the
screen—a result that would not be expected if light
consisted of classical particles. However, the light is
always found to be absorbed at the screen at discrete
points, as individual particles (not waves), the
interference pattern appearing via the varying density of
these particle hits on the screen. Furthermore, versions of
the experiment that include detectors at the slits find that
each detected photon passes through one slit (as would a
classical particle), and not through both slits (as would a
wave). However, such experiments demonstrate that
442
particles do not form the interference pattern if one
detects which slit they pass through. These results
demonstrate the principle of wave-particle duality.‖
– Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
The experiment shows that a subatomic particle
moves as a wave. However, if it is observed, it behaves
like a particle. This suggests that particles are conscious.
Alternatively, it implies that the universe itself is
conscious and attentive to living creatures.
So, it is not unlikely that the universe feels for those
humans who are good to God. The universes are held in
the hands (hands of nafs) of God and follow His will;
every inert creation is devotedly obedient to Him.
According to the Hadith, when Allah loves someone,
everyone is made inclined toward him:
Abu Hurairah reported: The Prophet said, "When
Allah loves a slave, calls out Jibril and says: 'I
love so-and-so; so love him'. Then Jibril loves
him. After that he (Jibril) announces to the
inhabitants of Skies that Allah loves so-and-so; so
love him; and the inhabitants of the Skies also
love him and then make people on earth love
him". [Bukhari and Muslim]

Thus, the feelings of the universe are related to the

feelings of Allah. So, if Allah loves a human, the universe
loves him. So, the above verses say: ―…and neither sky
nor land shed a tear over them, nor were they given a
respite.‖

443
Section 4 of Chapter 44 [Verse 30-33]: Jews Chosen over
the Worlds by Knowledge

We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from

humiliating punishment inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was
arrogant among inordinate transgressors.
And We certainly chose them by knowledge over the
worlds and granted them verses in which there was a
manifest trial.

Remarks:

The above verses say that the Jews were chosen "by
knowledge over the worlds". This means that they will
lead the worlds through knowledge. It has now been
proven.
To reach the top, one must undergo trials. Therefore,
they were granted verses that contained manifest trials, as
the verses say: "… and granted them verses in which
there was a manifest trial". The verses were difficult to
follow. Did they qualify?
If we look into their history, it does not appear that all
of them qualified. Many of them began to worship the
cow and a deity called Baal. They opposed Jesus and
Muhammad (pbuh), and as a result, they were exiled and
punished.
However, the righteous ones have qualified. Their
blessings are still visible. Many of them are men of
knowledge, great scientists, kings, and prominent
businessmen. Some have played key roles in the vital
moments of human history.

444
 They were evicted from the kingdoms of Israel and
Judah, but ended up in the great cities, which were better
places to live. Allah punishes them by one hand and
bestows blessings on them by another hand. The
blessings are far greater.
Hitler killed them, but within years, they were given
with the knowledge to create the atomic bomb, which
could have wiped out Berlin. However, Truman was not a
man to use it against the Germans.
Although the first atomic bomb was developed in the
USA, the father of the bomb, Oppenheimer, was a Jewish
man. The bomb was based on the theory of Einstein, who
was another Jew.
Many Jews have embraced Islam. Afghan Pashtuns
are believed to be descendants of the Lost Tribes of
Israel. The Holy Bible identifies Afghan territories as the
place of their deportation.

"In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria

captured Samaria, exiled the Israelites to Asshur
and made them settle in Halah, at the banks of
Habor, the river of Gozan as well as in the cities
of the Medes.‖ – 2 Kings 17.6, Holy Bible

"The king of Assyria deported the Israelites to

Assyria and settled them in Halah, on the Habor,
the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the
Medes.‖ – 2 Kings 18.1, Holy Bible

"So the God of Israel brought against them the

anger of Pul, king of Assyria, and of Tiglath-
pileser, king of Assyria, who deported the tribes
445
 of Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh.
They were taken off to Halah near Habor and the
river Gozan. They are still there today.‖
– 1 Chronicles 5.26 Holy Bible

In above verses, ―Halah‖ is present day Heart. River

―Gozan‖ is River Gozni. ―Habor‖ is Peshwar (Pesh-
Habor). All are Afghan Pashtun Territories.
Names of their tribes are similar to the names of Lost
Tribes.

Jewish Tribes Afghan Tribes

Reuven – Rabbani
Shimon – Shinwari
Levi – Liwani
Naftali – Daffani
Gad – Ghagi
Ashor – Ashuri
Ephraim – Afridi
Children of Yossef – Yusuf Sai

They have prevailed over USSR and USA.

Therefore, Allah was not wrong in choosing them as
the ―People over the Worlds‖.

Section 5 of Chapter 44 [Verse 34-37]: People of Tubba

As to these, surely they say, ―There is nothing beyond our

first death, and we shall not be raised again. Then bring our
forefathers if what ye say is true!‖
446
 What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those
who were before them? We destroyed them because they
were guilty of sin.

Remarks:

Tubba was the title of the kings of Sheba, just as Pharaoh

was the title of the Egyptian kings.
Modern archaeological studies and ancient writings
suggest that Sheba (Saba) was a kingdom in southern
Arabia, with its power extending as far as Aqaba and
northern Ethiopia. The ruling dynasty of Sheba
considered themselves the descendants of El-Maqah, the
sun god. A statue of El-Maqah has also been discovered
in an ancient temple in northern Ethiopia.
The dynasty existed from 1200 BCE to 275 CE, with
their capital at Marib. Bilqis was a Queen of Sheba, a
Tubba.

FIGURE 44.2: Ruins of Marib, Yemen

Section 6 of Chapter 44 [Verse 38-50]: Satisfying the
Universe (Samawaat)

We created not the Skies and Lands and all between them
merely in sport. We created them not except for just ends.
But most of them do not understand. Verily, the Day of
sorting out is the time appointed for all of them.
The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught
and no help can they receive, except such as receive God's
mercy; for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

Remarks:

The above verses present two points: 1) 'The Skies and

the Lands (Universe) are created for a just end,' and 2)
'The Day of Sorting Out is the appointed time for them.'
How do these two points relate?
Similar verse is there in another chapter as well:

―Allah created the Skies and Lands (Universe) for

just ends, and in order that each soul may find the
recompense of what it has earned, and none of
them be wronged.‖ [Al Quran 54: 22]

Allah has created this vast universe with billions of

galaxies. Is it to recompense every soul?
There are over 170 billion large galaxies in the visible
universe. Many humans will be left in these galaxies as
forgotten vicegerents of God.
The galaxies are full of fire and hazards, but the
universe is more important than humans:
448
 ―Assuredly the creation of the Skies and Lands
(this universe) is a greater than the creation of
men. Yet most men understand not‖
[Al Quran 40:57]

―Behold in the creation of the Skies and Lands,

and the alternation of night and day. There are
indeed signs for men of understanding. Men who
celebrate the praises of Allah standing, sitting and
lying on their sides and contemplate the creation
in the Skies and Lands, ―Our Lord, not for naught
hast Thou created this! Glory to Thee! Give us
salvation from the penalty of the fire. Our Lord
any whom thou dost admit to the fire, truly Thou
cover with shame, and never will wrong doers
find any helpers‖!‖ [Al Quran 3:190-792]

Verily, the tree of Zaqqum will be the food of the Sinful.

Like molten brass, it will boil in their insides.
Like the boiling of scalding water seize ye him and drag
him into the midst of the blazing fire! Then pour over his
head the penalty of boiling water.
Taste thou! Truly were thou mighty, full of honor! Truly,
this is what ye used to doubt!"

Remarks:

A human will live on a planet in their galaxy, where a

type of tree called 'Zaqqum' will provide their food. Allah
is the Creator through both direct and evolutionary
processes. Therefore, one may hope for various species of
449
 Zaqqum evolved over the eons of time from lower to
higher forms.
There will be bodies of water on the planet where the
hell-dweller will reside. The water will boil due to the
proximity of Mawbiqan (the crucible / accretion disc).
The boiling water will erupt and surge through the land,
inundating the person's habitat. This will be natural, as
the command of Allah has already been given. Matter is
devotedly obedient to Allah: "Like the boiling of scalding
water seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the
blazing fire! Then pour over his head the penalty of
boiling water."

Section 7 of Chapter 44 [Verse 51-57]: Life in Jannaat

As to the Guards, in a position of Security amid Jannaat and

springs, dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade; they will
face each other. Moreover, We shall join them to
Companions with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes.
There can they call for every kind of fruit in peace and
security. Nor will they there taste death, except the first
death. And He will protect them from the penalty of the
blazing fire as a bounty from thy Lord! That will be the
supreme achievement!

Section 8 of Chapter 44 [Verse 58-59]: Conclusion

Verily, We have made this easy in thy tongue in order that

they may give heed. So, wait thou and watch; for they are
waiting.

Section 2 of Chapter 45 [Verse 3-11]: Signs of God

Verily, in the Skies and Lands are signs for those who
believe. And in the creation of yourselves and the fact that
animals are scattered are signs for those of assured Faith.

451
Remarks:

There are many signs of God in the universe, but the sign
of life is perplexing. It suggests a process of evolution
that could culminate in the emergence of humans. Here,
one requires assured faith, as the verses indicate, ―And in
the creation of yourselves and the fact that animals are
scattered are signs for those of assured Faith‖.
The verse also suggests that, although modern
biological evolution links humans with other life forms,
there are signs for those of assured faith that affirm
humans as a unique and standalone creation.
In Section-12 of Chapter-24, we discussed that the
Quran supports the theory of biological evolution, except
in the case of humans. The Quran states that Allah
created Adam and Eve separately, but with the same pairs
(double helix DNA molecules).

―Glory to God Who created all things that the

earth produces as well as their own kind and
things of which they have no knowledge from
pairs (double helix DNA molecules)‖
[Al Quran 36:36]

All single-celled and multi-celled animals and plants

are created from double helix DNA molecules. In the
Quran, the 'double helix DNA molecule' is called 'pair'.
The verses about the ‗pair‘ are deliberately discussed in
Section-3 of Chapter-31.
Humans were created from the same pairs (double
helix DNA molecules), but separately. The Quran
highlights three fundamental differences in human
452
beings, indicating that they were not evolved through
evolutionary process. These differences are:
1. Capability to Learn after Birth
2. Capability of Precision Grip
3. Capability to Speak

1. Capability to Learn after Birth

Humans were created from the same pairs (double helix

DNA molecules), but separately. The Quran highlights
three fundamental differences in human beings,
indicating that they were not evolved through
evolutionary process. These differences are.

―And He taught Adam all of their names; then He

placed them before the angels and said, ―Tell me
the name of these if ye are right‖. They said,
―Glory to thee; of knowledge we have none, save
what Thou has taught us; in truth, it is Thou Who
art perfect in knowledge and wisdom.‖ He said,
―O Adam! Tell them their names‖ when he had
told them. Allah said, ―Did I not tell you that I
know the secrets of ‗Skies and Lands‘ and I know
what ye reveal and what ye conceal?‖
[Al Quran 2:31-33]

Humans have the ability to learn after birth, whereas

other animals, evolved through evolution, cannot learn in
the same way after birth.
Similarly, other animals cannot learn in the same way.
They are born with the knowledge they need. Scientists
have discovered that a polar migratory bird, hatched in an
453
incubator and raised separately, can still fly to the polar
region to join the flock it belongs to. How do they
manage to do this?
When these creatures develop in the eggs, their
genetic codes program their brains with all the knowledge
they need; their bodies are designed to perform the tasks
they must carry out.
A bird is hatched with a programmed brain. It does
not need to attend school to learn how to fly; it
instinctively knows how to fly from birth. Some birds can
even migrate from Siberia to Australia, navigating
without losing direction, day or night.
However, this programming creates a limitation: they
cannot learn anything new. A monkey will never choose
to walk on two legs to become a gentleman, because it
can never learn what a gentleman is?
Here, the human brain differs. While growing in the
mother's womb, at a certain stage, the brain refuses to
learn from the genes. As a result, at birth, a human baby
knows nothing—he doesn't even know how to walk or sit.
A human baby starts learning only after birth, and this
process of learning continues throughout life. This is why
humans have advanced so much; they have reached the
Moon, while chimpanzees are still in the forest.
It is worth mentioning that some animals can learn to
obey a few commands, and some birds can learn to say a
few words. However, their learning is different from that
of humans. Allah has allowed animals to be trained to
follow certain commands, as the following verse says:

―They ask thee what is lawful to them (as food).

Say: lawful unto you are things good and pure,
454
 and what ye have taught your trained hunting
animals in the manner directed to you by God; eat
what they catch for you, but pronounce the name
of God over it, and fear God; for God is swift in
taking account.‖ [Al Quran 5:4]

Precision Grip

Adam's hands were designed for a precision grip.

The way we hold a pen to write is called a precision
grip, while the way we hold a rope to climb is called a
power grip.

Power Grip Precision Grip

FIGURE 45.1: Grips

Human hands are designed for precision grip.

―…let not the scribe refuse to write, as Allah has

taught him, so let him write…‖ [Al Quran 2:282]

Therefore, humans can record acquired knowledge for

future generations.
The hands of monkeys and apes are not designed for
precision grip.
455
 Capability to Speak

Adam had the ability to speak. His face was designed to

be lighter and suitable for speech. Countless nerves
connecting the face, tongue, throat, and chest to the brain
coordinate the actions required for talking. The
descendants of Adam have fully developed language.

―He has created man. He has taught him to talk‖

[Al Quran 55: 3-4]

Unlike apes, a large part of the human brain is

dedicated to controlling the mouth and hands. If the sizes
of our body parts reflected the corresponding amounts of
brain tissue, we would look like the picture below.

FIGURE 45.2: Human in Nerve Ratio

The missing links in the aforementioned aspects show

that a human being is a standalone creature.

And in the alternation of night and day, and the fact that
God sends down sustenance from the sky and revives

456
therewith the earth after its death, and in the change of the
winds are signs for those that are wise.

Remarks:

The above verses acquaint Allah by four signs:

 Rotation of the Earth, which is said as,
―alternation of Night and Day‖
 Rain
 Growth of Plants
 Change of Winds
All of the above happen naturally, but the verses describe
them as signs of Allah. Actually, many of the natural laws
are acts of Allah. Allah knew that, in time, we would
come to understand gravity, so the acts of gravity are
extensively referred to in the Quran as the acts of Allah:

―Do they not look at the birds held poised in the

midst of the sky? Nothing holds them but Allah;
verily in this are signs for those who believe‖
[Al Quran 16:79]

―Do they not observe the birds above them,

spreading and folding? None holds them except
Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over
all things.‖ [Al Quran 67:19]

―He covers the night with the day seeking it

rapidly, and the sun and the moon and the stars
controlled by His deed‖ [Al Quran 7:54]

457
 ―It is He Who gives life and death, and to Him is
the alternation of night and day (rotation of the
earth); will ye not then understand?‖
[Al Quran 23:80]

―It is God Who alternates the night and the day

(rotates the earth); verily in these things is an
instructive example for those who have vision!‖
[Al Quran 24:44]

So, the gravitational force is a force of Allah. He

holds the birds by gravitational force so that they do not
become weightless and off-balanced while flying. He
moves the stars and the planets. A force field
(gravitational force) in a living being (Allah) should be
considered as a soul.
A force field and an elementary soul (ruh) are
essentially the same thing. Therefore, the gravitational
force field can be understood as an elementary soul (ruh)
of Allah.
A combination of two or more elementary souls,
working together to sustain a system, such as an atom, is
called a nafs (composite soul).
To understand Allah in more detail, we may compare
Him to a human. The nafs (composite soul) of a human is
a combination of unknown force fields (elementary souls
/ ruhs) that have not yet been discovered. Similarly, the
nafs (composite soul) of Allah is a combination of both
known and unknown force fields (elementary souls /
ruhs).

458
 Allah, in form, resembles a human. He has eyes, ears,
a face, hands, legs, etc. His nafs permeates His 'body in
form.' 'He in form' resides on the Arsh. He sits on the
Kursi (Throne). The Kursi is in the Arsh but extends into
the universes as well.
The nafs of Allah is immensely powerful, yet it can
remain within His 'body in form', because the force field
is not dependent on space.
According to the Quran, the universes are created
from a vast composite soul (nafs) known as Nafsin-
Wahidatin (a nafs single). Allah provided (breathed out)
the Nafsin-Wahidatin from His own nafs, permeating His
'body in form.' From a scientific perspective, the Nafsin-
Wahidatin can be described as GUT Force+ (Grand
Unified Theory Force+). As a result, our imaginations
remain confined to the products of the Nafsin-Wahidatin,
such as forces, energies, and matter. Therefore, it is
impossible to imagine what might exist within His body
in form?
Allah has extended several force fields (elementary
souls / ruhs) of His nafs beyond His 'body in form‘. The
extended force fields in combination make the 'hands of
His nafs'. Each of the hands comprises more than a dozen
force fields, extended from His nafs, permeating His body
in form.
So, His 'body in form' has 'hands in form' as well as
'hands of nafs'.
He has extended the 'right hand of His nafs' into this
universe. The whole universe is in the palm of this hand.
He has extended the 'left of His nafs' into the Arsh. He
has infused the 'hands of nafs' to sustain and evolve the
creations. The force fields (elementary souls / ruhs) of
459
these hands are designed to act in fixed patterns. Thus, we
perceive their effects and actions as fixed natural laws,
such as the laws of gravity.
Allah has extended several force fields of His nafs
through His 'face in form'. These force fields manifest as
His 'face of nafs'. He sees and hears everything.

―And for God the East and the West, so wherever

you turn, there is the Face of God; indeed Allah is
All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.‖
[Al Quran 2:115]

―That is because God merges night into day and

He merges day into night (rotates the earth), and
verily it is God Who hears and sees.‖
[Al Quran 22:61]

A few more forces, comprising His hands of nafs, are

discussed below:
According to the Quran, Allah is the light of the Skies
and Lands (universe). This light, permeating the entire
universe, is held in one or more of the forces of His hands
(hands of nafs). Alternatively, the light itself may be a
force of His hands. His light is not exposed in our
dimension. It is likely that we perceive this light as
Vacuum Energy.
The Dark Energy that expands the universe may be a
force of the hand of His nafs.
The Quantum Fields, permeating the universe and
sustaining the fundamental subatomic particles, are forces
of His hands of nafs.

460
 The CERN Hadron Collider has discovered a field
that covers the entire universe. The collider crashes
protons at nearly the speed of light to create tiny particles.
It has identified a fundamental particle called the Higgs
Boson. These particles are like ripples on a lake.
Although the ripples are short-lived, they reveal the
existence of the lake, even when it appears still. The lake
can be compared to a field.
It is an invisible energy field that exists everywhere in
the universe. As particles pass through the field, they are
endowed with the property of mass. The particle does not
absorb anything from the field; rather, the mass is
imparted as the particle moves through it. Thus, the
creations remain separate.
The basic creations are atoms and nafses of living
creatures. The creations are derived from the Nafsin-
Wahidatin, and the fields are comprised of the forces of
His hands (hands of nafs). Thus, the creations remain
separate.

FIGURE 45.3: CERN Hadron Collider

The subatomic particles, atoms, and larger objects are

designed to follow specific laws. They were created on
the Day of Law and set on fixed paths and timelines to
461
 reach their goals. None can deviate from this design.
Thus, He is the Creator, Designer, Sustainer, and Evolver
of the universes.
The nature we see around us, such as the rotation of
the Earth, the rain, the growth of plants, and the changing
of winds, is inspired by this design, sustained by Him. He
is the Time itself:

―On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said that

the Messenger of Allah said, Allah says,
―Children of Adam inveigh against Time; I am
Time; I change the day and night‖
[Hadith-e-Qudsi, Bukhari, Muslim]

Allah monitors the living creatures through angels,

governed by a cybernetic system. The system guides
them according to their predetermined fates. This system
is deliberately discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6.

Such are the signs of God, which We rehearse to thee in

truth; then in what exposition will they believe after God and
His signs?
Woe to each sinful dealer in falsehoods; he hears the
verses of God rehearsed to him, yet is obstinate and lofty, as
if he had not heard them—then announce to him a penalty
grievous!
And when he learns something of Our signs, he takes
them in jest; for such there will be a humiliating penalty. In
front of them is hell, and of no profit to them is anything they
may have earned, nor any protectors they may have taken to
themselves besides God; for them is a tremendous penalty.

462
 This is guidance, and for those who reject the signs of
their Lord is a grievous penalty of abomination.

Section 3 of Chapter 45 [Verse 12-15]: Things subjected to

Humans

It is God Who has subjected the sea to you that ships may sail
through it by His command that ye may seek of His bounty
and that ye may be grateful.
And He has subjected to you as from Him all that is in the
Skies and Lands. Behold, in that are signs indeed for those
who reflect.
Tell those who believe to forgive those who do not look
forward to the days of God. It is for Him to recompense each
people according to what they have earned. Whoever does a
good deed, it is for himself; and whoever does evil, it is
against the self. Then to your Lord you will be returned.

Remarks:

Everything in this universe is subject to humans, as the

verses say: And He has subjected to you as from Him all
that is in the Skies and Lands (universe).
Therefore, one may do whatever one desires—
enjoying freedom. The universe (Samawaat) has already
been given.
But Jannaat has not yet been given. It will be granted
to those whom Allah favors. Thus, the verses say: Tell
those who believe to forgive those who do not look
forward to the days of God.

463
Section 4 of Chapter 45 [Verse16-22]: People above the
Nations

We did aforetime grant to the Children of Israel the book, the

power of command, and prophet-hood. We gave them for
sustenance things good and pure, and We favored them above
the nations.
And We granted them clear proof of the matters; it was
only after knowledge had been granted to them that they fell
into schisms through insolent envy among themselves.
Verily, thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of
Judgment as to those matters in which they set up
differences.
Then We put thee on the way of religion, so follow thou
that. And follow not the desires of those who know not; they
will be of no use to thee in the sight of God. It is only
wrongdoers, protectors one to another, but God is the
Protector of the Guards. These are clear evidences to men,
and a guidance and mercy to those of assured Faith.
What! Do those who seek after evil ways think that We
shall hold them equal with those who believe and do
righteous deeds; that equal will be their life and their death?
Ill is the judgment that they make. God created the Skies and
Lands for just ends, and in order that each soul may find the
recompense of what it has earned and none of them be
wronged.

Remarks:

The verses put the Chosen People (Jews) and the

Muslims on the same footing; it is Faith and deeds that

464
 will make difference. Muslims are given the Final
Prophet (pbuh) and a complete Book.
The universe (skies and lands) has been created for
just ends, as the above verses say: ―God created the Skies
and Lands (universe) for just ends, and in order that each
soul may find the recompense of what it has earned and
none of them be wronged.‖
Every human will receive recompense according to
what they have earned. Some will receive good galaxies,
while others will receive violent galaxies—none shall be
wronged.
But the believers who do righteous deeds will be
transferred to Jannaat, which is a different universe
altogether.

Section 5 of Chapter 45 [Verse 23-35]: People that will be

Forgotten

Then see thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain
desire? God has left him astray due to his knowledge, and
sealed his hearing and his heart, and put a veil on his sight.
Who then will guide him after God? Will ye not then receive
admonition?
And they say: "What is there but our life in this world?
We shall die, and we live, and nothing but time can destroy
us." But of that they have no knowledge; they merely
conjecture. And when Our clear verses are rehearsed to them
their argument is nothing but this: they say, "Bring our
forefathers, if what ye say is true!"
Say: "It is God Who gives you life, then gives you death,
then He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment

465
about which there is no doubt." But most men do not
understand.
To God belongs the dominion of the Skies and Lands,
and the Day that the Hour of Judgment is established—that
Day the dealers in falsehood will perish! And thou will see
every sect bowing the knee. Every sect will be called to its
record: This Day shall ye be recompensed for all that ye did!
This Our record speaks about you with truth; for We were
wont to put on record all that ye did.
Then, as to those who believed and did righteous deeds,
their Lord will admit them to His mercy; that will be the
achievement for all to see.
But as to those who rejected: Were not Our verses recited
to you? But ye were arrogant, and were a people given to sin!
And when it was said that the promise of God was true, and
that the Hour, there was no doubt about it, ye used to say:
―We know not what the Hour is; we only think it is an idea,
and we have no firm assurance.‖
Then will appear to them the evil of what they did, and
envelop them what they used at it to make fun of!
It will also be said: "This Day We will forget you, as ye
forgot the meeting of this Day of yours! And your abode is
the fire, and no helpers have ye! This, because ye used to take
the verses of God in jest, and the life of the world deceived
you." That Day, therefore, they shall not be removed from it,
nor shall they be received into grace.

Remarks:

The sinners will be forgotten after they will be scattered

in the galaxies of this universe: This Day We will forget
you as ye forgot the meeting of this Day of yours! And
466
 your abode is the fire, and no helpers have ye! This,
because ye used to take the verses of God in jest, and the
life of the world deceived you.
Allah has created humans as His vicegerents.
Therefore, they will be forgotten vicegerents of God in
the galaxies of this universe (Samawaat). Thus, they will
enjoy freedom forever. However, they will experience
pain due to the very nature of their abode.

Section 6 of Chapter 45 [Verse 36-37]: So, Wait

Then Praise be to God, Lord of the Skies and Lands, Lord

and Cherisher of all the universes! To Him be glory
throughout the Skies and Lands, and He is Exalted in Power,
Full of Wisdom!

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 46 [Verse 1-2]: Sign of Lawh-Mahfuz

Ha, Mim. The revelation of the book is from God, the

Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.

Section 2 of Chapter 46 [Verse 3-6]: Deities

We created not the Skies and Lands and all between them but
for just ends and for a term appointed, but those who reject
Faith turn away from that whereof they are warned.

468
 Say: Do ye see what it is ye invoke besides God? Show
me what it is they have created in the Lands, or have they a
share in the Skies? Bring me a book before this or any
remnant of knowledge, if ye are telling the truth!
And who is more astray than one who invokes besides
God such as will not answer him to the Day of Judgment, and
who are unconscious of their call. And when mankind is
gathered together, they will be hostile to them and reject their
worship!

Section 3 of Chapter 46 [Verse 7-14]: Is the Quran forged

from Holy Bible?

When Our clear verses are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers

say of the truth when it comes to them, "This is evident
sorcery!"
Or do they say: "He has forged it?"
Say: ―If I have forged it, still you have no power to
support me against God. He knows best of that whereof ye
talk! Enough is He for a witness between you and me! And
He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Say: ―I am no bringer of new-fangled doctrine among the
Messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or
with you. I follow but that which is revealed to me by
inspiration; I am but a Warner open and clear.‖
Say: ―See ye? If it be from God and ye reject it, and a
witness from among the Children of Israel (Abdullah ibn
Salam) testifies to its similarity and has believed, while ye
are arrogant; truly, God guides not a people unjust.‖
The Unbelievers say of those who believe, "If it was a
good thing, would not (Jews) have gone to it first before us!"

469
And seeing that they guide not themselves thereby, they will
say, "This is an old falsehood!"
And before this, was the book of Moses as a guide and a
mercy. And this book confirms in the Arabic tongue to
admonish the unjust and as glad tidings to those who do right.
Verily, those who say, "Our Lord is God" and remain
firm, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. Such
shall be companions of the Jannaat dwelling therein—a
recompense for their deeds.

Remarks:

The Prophet (pbuh) did not bring a new doctrine; it is the

same old religion. It conforms to the book of Moses. The
similarities indicate that the Quran is a book from the
same source.
Science has advanced, and the scientific signs
embedded in the Quran prove it to be a message from the
true Creator.

Section 4 of Chapter 46 [Verse 15-20]: Kindness to Parents

We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents; in pain did

his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The
carrying of it to his weaning is thirty months. At length, when
he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he
says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy
favor, which Thou have bestowed upon me and upon both
my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou
may approve, and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I
turned to Thee and truly do I bow in Islam." Such are they
from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and pass
470
by their ill deeds—among the companions of the Jannaat—a
promise of truth, which was made to them.
But who says to his parents, "Fie on you! Do ye hold out
the promise to me that I shall be raised up, even though
generations have passed before me?" And they two (parents)
seek God's aid: ―Woe to thee! Have faith—for the promise of
God is true.‖ But he says, ―This is nothing but tales of the
ancients!‖ Such are they against whom is proved the sentence
among the previous generations of jinns and men that have
passed away; for they will be lost.
And to all are degrees according to the deeds which they
(have done) and in order that may recompense their deeds
and no injustice be done to them.
And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed
before the fire: ―Ye received your good things in the life of
the world, and ye took your pleasure out of them, but today
shall ye be recompensed with a penalty of humiliation; for
that ye were arrogant on earth without just cause, and that ye
transgressed.‖

Section 5 of Chapter 46 [Verse 21-28]: Ad

Mention one of Ads‘ brethren. Behold, he warned his people

in the Al-Ahqaf and there have been Warners before him and
after him: ―Worship ye none other than God; truly I fear for
you the penalty of a mighty day.‖
They said: ―Has thou come in order to turn us aside from
our gods? Then bring upon us with which thou do threaten
us, if thou are telling the truth?‖
He said: ―The knowledge is only with God; I proclaim to
you the mission, on which I have been sent; but I see that ye
are a people in ignorance!‖
471
 Then, when they saw a cloud traversing the sky coming
to meet their valleys, they said, "This cloud will give us
rain!" Nay, it is it ye were asking to be hastened—a wind
wherein is a grievous penalty! Everything will it destroy by
the command of its Lord! Then by the morning they—
nothing was to be seen but their houses! Thus, do We
recompense those given to sin!
And We had firmly established them in power, which We
have not given to you, and We had endowed them with
hearing, seeing, mind, and intellect; but of no profit to them
were their hearing, sight, and mind, and intellect when they
went on rejecting the signs of God, and they were encircled
by that which they used to mock at!
We destroyed aforetime populations round about you, and
We have shown the signs in various ways that they may turn.
Why then was no help forthcoming to them from those
whom they worshipped as gods besides God, as a means of
access? Nay, they left them in the lurch; but that was their
falsehood and their invention.

Section 6 of Chapter 46 [Verse 29-32]: A Company of

Jinns

Behold, We turned towards thee a company of jinns listening

to the Qur'an. When they stood in the presence thereof, they
said, "Listen in silence!" When it was finished, they returned
to their people to warn.
They said, "O our people! We have heard a book,
revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it; it
guides to the Truth and to a Straight Path. O our people,
hearken to the one who invites to God and believe in him; He

472
will forgive you your faults and deliver you from a penalty
grievous."
If any does not hearken to the one who invites to God, he
cannot frustrate on earth and no protectors can he have
besides God; such men are in manifest error.

Section 7 of Chapter 46 [Verse 33-35]: Conclusion

See they not that God Who created the Skies and Lands and
never wearied with their creation is able to give life to the
dead? Yea, verily He has power over all things.
And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed
before the fire, "Is this not the truth?" They will say, "Yea, by
our Lord!" Then taste ye the penalty; for that ye were wont to
deny!
Therefore, patiently persevere, as did messengers of
inflexible purpose, and be in no haste about it. On the Day,
they see that which they are promised—as if they had not
tarried more than an hour in a single day.
Proclaim the Message, but shall any be destroyed except
those who transgress?

473
Chapter 47 [Muhammad]
Introduction

The Surah instructs Muslims to obey the commands of

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the course of striving for
Islam. It addresses some shortcomings that cause confusion
among people in following these commands.

Flowchart

Section 1 [Verse 1-15]: Smite at the Necks

Section 2 [Verse 16-32]: People that create Confusion
Section 3 [Verse 33-35]: Obey God and Obey Messenger
Section 4 [Verse 36-38]: Spend for Jihad

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 47 [Verse1-15]: Smite at the Necks

Those who reject God and hinder from the Path of God, their
deeds will God render astray. But those who believe and
work deeds of righteousness and believe in what has been
sent down to Muhammad, for it is the Truth from their Lord,
He will remove from them their ills and improve their
condition.
This because those who reject God follow vanities, while
those who believe follow the Truth from their Lord. Thus,
does God set forth for men their comparison.
Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers smite at their
necks. At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them,
474
bind a bond firmly; thereafter either generosity or ransom,
until the war lays down its burdens. Thus, and if it had been
God's will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from
them, but in order to test you, some with others, and those
who are slain in the way of God—He will never let their
deeds be lost. Soon will He guide them and improve their
condition and admit them to the Jannaat, which He has
announced for them.

Remarks:

Many, due to their vanity and arrogance, may remain in

paganism even after understanding the truth. They take
false pride in their nations, histories, cultures, castes,
societies, strengths, and wealth. Their false pride and
arrogance do not fade unless they are defeated and
humbled.

O ye who believe! If ye will aid God, He will aid you and

plant your feet firmly. But those who reject, for them is
destruction, and will render their deeds astray. That is
because they hate the revelation of God, so He has made their
deeds fruitless.
Do they not travel through the earth and see what the end
of those before them was? God brought utter destruction on
them, and similar to those who reject God. That is because,
God is the protector of those who believe, but those who
reject God have no protector.
Verily, God will admit those who believe and do
righteous deeds to Jannaat, beneath which rivers flow, while
those who reject God will enjoy and eat as cattle eat and the
fire will be their abode. And how many cities with more
475
power than thy city, which has driven thee out, have We
destroyed! And there was none to aid them!
Is then one who is on clear evidence from his Lord no
better than one to whom the evil of his conduct seems
pleasing and such as follow their own lusts—a parable of the
Jannaat, which the Guards are promised, in it are rivers of
water incorruptible, rivers of milk of which the taste never
changes, rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink, and rivers
of honey, pure and clear, in it there are for them all kinds of
fruits and grace from their Lord—be compared to such as
shall dwell forever in the fire and be given to drink boiling
water so that it cuts up their bowels?

Section-2 of Chapter 47 [Verse16-32]: People that create

Confusion

And among them are men who listen to thee, but in the end
when they go out from thee, they say to those who have
received knowledge: "What is it he said just then?" Such are
men whose hearts God has sealed, and who follow their own
lusts. But to those who receive guidance, He increases them
in guidance and gives them their ability of guarding. Do they
then only wait for the Hour that it should come on them of a
sudden? But already have come some tokens thereof, and
when it is on them, how can they benefit then by their
admonition?
Know therefore that there is no god but God and ask
forgiveness for thy fault and for the men and women who
believe; for God knows how ye move about and how ye
dwell in your homes.
Those who believe say, "Why is not a Surah sent down?"
But when a Surah of basic or categorical meaning is revealed

and fighting is mentioned therein, thou will see those, in
whose hearts is a disease, looking at thee with a look of one
in swoon at the approach of death. But more fitting for them
were to obey and say what is just, and when a matter is
resolved, it were best for them if they were true to God.
Then, is it to be expected of you if ye were put in
authority that ye will do mischief in the land, and break your
ties of kith and kin? Such are the men whom God has cursed,
for He has made them deaf and blinded their sight. Do they
not then earnestly seek to understand the Qur'an, or are their
hearts locked up by them?
Those who turn back as apostates after guidance was
clearly shown to them, satan enticed them and prolonged
hope for them. This because, they said to those who hate
what God has revealed, "We will obey you in part of matter".
But, God knows their secrets.
But how is it when the angels take their souls at death and
smite their faces and their backs? This is because they
followed that which called forth the wrath of God, and they
hated God's good pleasure, so He made their deeds of no
effect.
Or, do those in whose hearts is a disease think that God
will not bring to light all their rancor? Had We so willed, We
could have shown them up to thee, and thou should have
known them by their marks, but surely, thou will know them
by the tone of their speech! And God knows all that ye do.

Remarks:

Some people hear but fail to understand the words? They

do not understand because they remain consumed by their
desires and thoughts.
477
 Some would ask for clear order. But, when clear order
to fight comes, they look like people approaching death.
When a decision has been made by Islamic leadership
in light of the Quran, and the execution of the plan is
underway, there should be no argument in the process of
materializing the plan according to the Quran.

And We shall try you until We test those among you who
strive their utmost and persevere in patience, and We will test
your affairs.
Those who reject God, hinder from the Path of God, and
resist the Messenger after Guidance has been clearly shown
to them will not injure God in the least, but He will make
their deeds of no effect.

Section 3 of Chapter 47 [Verse 33-35]: Obey God and

Obey Messenger

O ye who believe! Obey God and obey the Messenger and

make not vain your deeds! Those who reject God, and hinder
from the path of God, then die rejecting God, God will not
forgive them. Be not weary and faint-hearted crying for
peace, when ye should be uppermost; for God is with you and
will never put you in loss for your deeds.

Remarks:

In above verses, the call, ―Obey God, and obey the

Messenger…‖ does not relate to the following of Hadith,
such as how to keep beard, or brush teeth, and so forth. It
relates to Jihad, as the subsequent verse say: ―Be not

478
 weary and faint-hearted crying for peace, when ye should
be uppermost…‖
'Obey God and obey the Messenger' is mainly found
in the Furqan (War Book / Chapter-3 to 9) when the
Ummah was mobilized to defeat the Taghuts, with the
Prophet (pbuh) leading them. The Taghuts were defeated,
people embraced Islam in large numbers, and the Home
of the Ummah, extending from Morocco to the Pamirs,
was established. The Furqan guided the war.
Beyond the Furqan, the phrase 'Obey God and obey
the Messenger' appears in this Surah (Surah Muhammad),
which discusses the Prophet's (pbuh) leadership, as well
as in a few other Surahs that address the settlement of
disputes and mobilizations for wars in Madinah. These
verses emphasize the importance of following the direct
orders of the Prophet (pbuh) while he was alive. This
becomes clear when one reads the verses carefully and
understands them in context.
Therefore, those who quote the phrase 'Obey God and
obey the Messenger' in relation to following Hadiths on
matters such as keeping a beard, wearing clothes,
brushing teeth, and so on, are taking it out of context.
At present, the Prophet (pbuh) is represented by the
Highest Islamic Leadership / Caliph in guiding the
Ummah in accordance with the Quran.

Section 4 of Chapter 47 [Verse 36-38]: Spend for Jihad

The life of this world is but play and amusement, and if ye

believe and guard against evil, He will grant you your
recompense and will not ask you your possessions.

479
 If He were to ask you for all of them and press you, you
would covetously withhold, and He would bring out all your
ill-feeling.
Behold, ye are those invited to spend in the way of God.
But among you are some that are niggardly. But any who are
niggardly are so at the expense of their own souls. But God is
free of all wants, and it is ye that are needy. If ye turn back,
He will substitute in your stead another people; then they
would not be like you!

subsequent expeditions. They made significant contributions
in later battles.
The Surah confirms that the vision of Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) was true, and that the Muslims would

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 48 [Verse 1-10] Treaty of Hudaibiyah

Verily, We have granted thee a manifest victory that God

may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow,
fulfill His favor to thee, and guide thee on the Straight Way,
and that God may help thee with powerful help.
481
Remarks:

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had a dream in which he was

performing Umrah. A Prophet's dream is always true and
is fulfilled. So, he set out with 1,400 men, who were
lightly armed. In fact, this dream was to be fulfilled at a
later time.
They camped outside Makkah at a place called
Hudaibiyah. The Quraysh decided to prevent their entry
into Makkah and stationed men at the outskirts of the
city.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) sent Uthman ibn Affan to
negotiate. The Quraysh detained Uthman longer than
expected, and it seemed as though he had been killed. At
that point, Prophet (pbuh) and his followers took a pledge
to fight and avenge Uthman's death. This pledge, known
as the 'Pledge of the Tree,' took place under a tree, with
each Sahabi placing their hand on the Prophet's (pbuh)
hand.
Soon, Uthman was released, and the Quraysh sent an
envoy to negotiate a treaty, known as the 'Treaty of
Hudaibiyah.'
According to the treaty, the Muslims were to return
that year. The following year, they could visit Makkah for
three days.
At that place, they slaughtered their sacrificial
animals, shaved their heads, and removed their pilgrim
garbs.
The treaty appeared to be a humiliation. Most of the
Sahabah did not approve of it, and some, including
Hazrat Omar, expressed their grievances.
482
 A journey by camel caravan through a terrain like that
of Saudi Arabia was not easy, and they were unable to
enter Makkah. Some might have thought that the vision
was false, while a Prophet's vision can never be false. The
Prophet (pbuh) became pensive in this awkward situation,
whereas his close companions pressed hard to launch an
offensive into the city, which they believed would fulfill
the vision.
At that time, the verses were revealed, describing the
treaty as a victory. Later, it was understood that the treaty
was a blessing in disguise. The Surah confirmed that the
Prophet's vision was true, and that the Muslims would
soon enter the Sacred Mosque safely.
The Muslims remained faithful and committed to the
Prophet (pbuh). Allah was pleased with them and
revealed the verses: ―Verily We have granted thee a
manifest victory that God may forgive thee thy faults of
the past and those to follow, fulfill His favor to thee, and
guide thee on the Straight Way; and that God may help
thee with powerful help.‖

It is He Who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the

Believers that they may add Faith to their Faith; for to God
belong the Forces of the Skies and Lands, and God is Full of
Knowledge and Wisdom.
That He may admit the men and women who believe to
Jannaat, beneath which flow rivers, to dwell therein for aye,
and remove their ills from them, and that is in the sight of
God the highest achievement.
And that He may punish the Hypocrites men and women
and the Polytheists men and women who imagine an evil
opinion of God. On them is a round of Evil; the wrath of God
483
is on them. He has cursed them and got hell ready for them,
and evil is it for a destination; for to God belong the Forces
of the Skies and Lands, and God is Exalted in Power, Full of
Wisdom.
We have truly sent thee as a witness, as a bringer of Glad
Tidings, and as a Warner—in order that ye may believe in
God and His Messenger, that ye may assist and honor him;
and celebrate His (Allah‘s) praises morning and evening.
Verily, those who plight their fealty to thee, do no less
than plight their fealty to God. The hand of God is over their
hands. Then anyone who violates his oath, does so to the
harm of his own soul; and anyone who fulfills what he has
covenanted with God, God will soon grant him a great
reward.

Section 2 of Chapter 48 [Verse 11-17]: Desert Arabs

The Desert Arabs who lagged behind will say to thee: ―We
were engaged in our flocks and herds and our families; do
thou then ask forgiveness for us.‖ They say with their
tongues what is not in their hearts. Say: ―Who then has any
power at all on your behalf with God if His will is to give you
some loss or to give you some profit? But God is well
acquainted with all that ye do.‖
Nay, ye thought that the Messenger and the Believers
would never return to their families; this seemed pleasing in
your hearts, and ye conceived an evil thought; for ye are a
people lost.
And if any believe not in God and His Messenger, We
have prepared for those who reject God, a Blazing Fire!

484
 To God belongs the dominion of the Skies and Lands; He
forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills,
but God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Those who lagged behind will say when ye march and
take booty, ―Permit us to follow you.‖ They wish to change
God's decree. Say, ―Not thus will ye follow us; God has
already declared beforehand.‖ Then they will say, ―But ye are
jealous of us.‖ Nay, but little do they understand.
Say to the Desert Arabs who lagged behind: ―Ye shall be
summoned against a people given to vehement war, then
shall ye fight or they shall submit. Then, if ye show
obedience, God will grant you a goodly reward; but if ye turn
back, as ye did before, He will punish you with a grievous
Penalty.‖
No blame is there on the blind, nor is there blame on the
lame, nor on one ill. But he that obeys God and his
Messenger, (God) will admit him to Jannaat, beneath which
rivers flow; and he who turns back, (God) will punish him
with a grievous penalty.

Section 3 of Chapter 48 [Verse18-20]: Speedy Victory

God's good pleasure was on the Believers when they swore

fealty to thee under the tree. He knew what was in their
hearts, and He sent down tranquility to them, and He
rewarded them with a speedy victory.
And much war booty will they acquire; and God is
Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.
God has promised you much booty that ye shall acquire,
and He hasten for you this, and withheld the hands of men
from you that it may be a sign for the Believers, and that He
may guide you to a Straight Path.
485
Remarks:

Above verses are talking about the ensuing expedition

against Jews. They perpetrated all-Arab-offensive against
the Muslims of Madinah (Battle of Khandak) but till then
action against them remained incomplete.
Banu Qaynuqa were evicted from Madinah after the
Battle of Badr, and they settled in Wadi al-Kura.
Banu Nadir was evicted after the Battle of Uhud and
settled mainly in Khaiber. The expelled Jews went to the
Quraysh and various tribes of Arabia, convincing them to
attack Madinah together. An army of 10,000 men
besieged Madinah for 27 days, when the Banu Qurayzah,
living inside Madinah, became a threat.
After the Battle of Khandak, Banu Qurayzah was
defeated, killed, and enslaved. However, the main
perpetrators of the offensive, Banu Nadir, remained
unpunished. The Quraysh could never muster such a large
force; they were content with the apparent victory at
Uhud. It was the evicted Jews from Khaibar (Banu Nadir)
who masterminded the plan and convinced the tribes to
launch a joint offensive against the Muslims of Madinah.
After the Treaty of Hudaibiyah, an expedition against
the Jews was carried out. They were evicted from
Khaibar and beyond. Khaybar fell three months after
Hudaibiyah. Subsequently, the Jewish settlements of
Fadak, Wadi al-Kura, Taima, and Tabuk fell as well.
Thus, the Arabian Peninsula became free of Jews. In this
expedition, many desert Arabs joined. [The land up to the
line joining the tip of the Red Sea and the tip of the
Persian Gulf is the Arabian Peninsula.]
486
 As mentioned in the above verses, the eviction of
Jews from the Arabian Peninsula provided the following
benefits:
1. Muslims gained a significant amount of booty.
2. The hands of men were withheld from them
(Muslims gained safety).
3. It became a sign for later Muslims that they
should keep the spiritual headquarters of Islam
(the Arabian Peninsula) free from people of other
religions.
4. Muslims could be guided on the Straight Path.
Jews are intelligent and organized people, and
some of them could have taught wrong concepts
that might have distorted Islam in its nascent state.
According to the Islamic Policy, Jews can live beyond
Arabian Peninsula. Caliph Omar did not evict them from
Jerusalem. He settled many of the evicted Jews in Kufa.

Section 4 of Chapter 48 [Verse 21-23]: Other Gains

And other gains, which are not within your power, but which
God has compassed; and God has power over all things.
If the Unbelievers should fight you, they would certainly
turn their backs; then would they find neither protector nor
helper—the practice of God already in the past; no change
will thou find in the practice of God.

Remarks:

In short, the Treaty was:

1. No war in ten years.

487
 2. The Prophet (pbuh) could not grant asylum to a
fugitive from the Quraysh, but the Quraysh could
grant asylum to someone from the Prophet‘s side.
3. Every Arab tribe would have the option to join a
side and enter into the treaty.
4. The Prophet (pbuh) and his men were to return
that year and come the following year for Umrah,
staying for three days, provided that each of them
brought only one sword secured in its scabbard.
During those three days, the Makkans would
vacate the city.
Muslims were upset, as they felt that the treaty was
humiliating. This Surah was revealed when their caravan
was returning to Madinah. The Prophet (pbuh) recited
this Surah, particularly to Omar, who was feeling most
dejected.
Soon, some of the gains of this treaty began to appear.
The gains were as follows:
1. It recognized Muslims as a viable political entity.
2. The people of Makkah were assured that
pilgrimage to the Kaaba would continue.
3. Peace provided the opportunity to preach Islam.
A few days after the treaty, Abu Basir escaped from
the Quraysh and reached Madinah. The Prophet (pbuh)
returned him to the men from Makkah who came to arrest
him. He fled again on the way and took shelter in a
position near the Red Sea, which was on the trade route to
Syria. Subsequently, every Muslim who succeeded in
escaping from the Quraysh would go and join Abu Basir
until 70 men had gathered. They would attack the
Quraysh caravan passing through that route. Eventually,

488
 the Quraysh themselves begged the Prophet (pbuh) to call
those men back to Madinah.
Arab tribes joined the Muslim side after the eviction
of Jews from the Arabian Peninsula. Thus, within two
years, Muslims became a much stronger force and were
poised to capture Makkah.
In AH 8, the Prophet (pbuh) reached Makkah with an
army of 10,000. The Quraysh surrendered without a fight
and accepted Islam.

Section 5 of Chapter 48 [Verse 24-26]: Collateral Damage

is not acceptable during war in the case of a Believer‘s
life.

And it is He Who has restrained their hands from you, and

your hands from them in the valley of Makkah—after that He
gave you the victory over them; and God sees well all that ye
do.
They are the ones who denied revelation and hindered
you from the Sacred Mosque, and the sacrificial animals
detained from reaching their place of sacrifice. Had there not
been believing men and believing women whom ye did not
know—that ye were trampling down and on whose account a
crime would have accrued to you without knowledge; that He
may admit to His Mercy whom He will—if they had been
apart, We should certainly have punished the Unbelievers
among them with a grievous punishment.
While the Unbelievers got up in their hearts heat and
cant, the heat and cant of ignorance, God sent down His
tranquility to his Messenger and to the Believers, and made
them stick close to the command of guarding, and well were

489
they entitled to it and worthy of it; and God has full
knowledge of all things.

Remarks:

Allah did not allow attacking Makkah because there were

some Believers living in the city who could be killed
unknowingly.
Thus, the verses negate fighting if there is a chance
that a neutral Believer may be killed unintentionally.
Collateral damage is not acceptable in the case of a
Believer‘s life.
Therefore, dropping bombs or firing missiles in an
area where Believers may be living is forbidden. Laying
mines and booby traps is forbidden if there is a chance
that a Believer may be killed. Suicide bombing by a
Believer is forbidden because the person is deliberately
taking the life of a Believer (his own life).
But do not be extreme like the Janissaries. They
refused to use rifled guns because the spinning bullets
travel far, and a stray bullet might kill a Believer.
Ultimately, the Sultan abolished the Janissary corps. This
was one of the major causes for the fall of the Turkish
Caliphate.
A stray bullet hardly kills anybody, but indiscriminate
firing kills. In modern times, Muslims cannot avoid using
such weapon. It can be used in a battle field with due
care.

490
Section 6 of Chapter 48 [Verse 27-29]: Muhammad (pbuh)
and those with him

Certainly has Allah showed to His Messenger the vision in

Truth. Ye shall enter the Sacred Mosque, if God wills, with
minds secure, heads shaved, hair cut short, and without fear;
for He knew what ye knew not, and He granted besides this a
speedy victory.
It is He Who has sent His messenger with guidance and
the religion of truth to proclaim it over all religions; and
enough is God for a witness.
Muhammad is the Messenger of God, and those who are
with him are strong against Unbelievers, compassionate
amongst each other. Thou will see them bow and prostrate
themselves seeking grace from God and good pleasure. On
their faces are their marks, the traces of their prostration—
this is their similitude in the Torah. And their similitude in
the Gospel is: like a seed, which sends forth its blade, then
makes it strong; it then becomes thick and it stands on its
own stem delighting the sowers. As a result, it fills the
Unbelievers with rage at them. God has promised those
among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness
and a great reward.

different groups and instructs them to show honor to the
righteous.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 49 [Verse 1-5]: Behave Yourself

O Ye who believe! Put not yourselves forward before God

and His Messenger, and guard for the sake of God; for God is
He Who hears and knows all things.
O ye who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice
of the Prophet, nor speak aloud to him in talk, as ye may
speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds become vain and
ye perceive not.
Those that lower their voices in the presence of God's
Messenger, their hearts have God tested for piety, for them is
forgiveness and a great reward.

492
 Those who shout out to thee from behind the dwellings,
most of them lack understanding. If only they had patience
until thou could come out to them, it would be best for them;
but God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Section-2 of Chapter 49 [Verse 6-13]: Quarrel among

Believers

O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any

news, ascertain the truth lest ye harm people unwittingly and
afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done.
And know that among you is God's Messenger; were he
in many matters were to follow your (wishes), ye would
certainly fall into misfortune. But God has endeared the Faith
to you and has made it beautiful in your hearts; and He has
made hateful to you unbelief, wickedness, and rebellion.
Those, they the guided ones—a bounty from Allah and
favour; and God is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.
If two parties among the Believers fall into a quarrel,
make ye peace between them; but if one of them transgresses
beyond bounds against the other, then fight ye against the one
that transgresses until it complies with the command of
Allah. But if it complies, then make peace between them with
justice, and be fair; for Allah loves those who are fair.

Remarks:

The above verses authorize fighting against a party that

does not accept the judgment or mediation of the highest
Islamic leadership (Caliph) and resumes hostility.

493
 The Believers are but a single brotherhood. So, make
peace and reconciliation between your two brothers, and
guard for the sake of God that ye may receive mercy.
O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule
(another) people—perhaps they may be better than them; nor
let women ridicule women—perhaps they may be better than
them. And do not insult one another, and do not call each
other by nicknames; wretched is the name of disobedience
after faith. And whoever does not repent then it is those who
are the wrongdoers.
O you who believe avoid suspicion as much; for
suspicion in some cases is a sin. And spy not on each other,
nor speak ill of each other behind their backs—would any of
you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would
abhor it. But fear God; for God is Oft-Returning, Most
Merciful.
O mankind! We have created you in a male and a female
and made you into nations and tribes that ye may know one
another. Verily, the most honored of you in the sight of God
is the most protectors of you; and God has full knowledge
and is well acquainted.

Remarks:

It is likely that every nation, except a few mixed nations,

has parents. And within a nation, every tribe has parents.
One would find that each nation has certain specialties,
and within that nation people of a particular tribe or area
have certain specialties. Thereby, we can know each
other.

494
 If we come across a Persian or a German, we show
him honor, because we know them by their past and
present. But who is honored in the sight of God?
―Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is
the most protectors of you; and God has full knowledge
and is well acquainted.‖
In general, a righteous person should be shown more
respect.

Section 3 of Chapter 49 [Verse 14-18]: Perfect Believers

The desert Arabs say, ―We believe.‖

Say: ―Ye have no faith, but ye say, ―We have submitted
our wills to God;‖ for not yet has Faith entered your hearts.
And if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not
deprive you from your deeds of anything. Indeed, Allah is
Forgiving and Merciful.‖
It is the Believers those who believe in God and His
Messenger and have never since doubted but have striven
with their belongings and their persons in the cause of God;
such are the sincere ones.

Remarks:

A real Believer does not escape from the call of the

Highest Islamic Leadership.

Say: "What! Will ye instruct God about your religion?

But God knows all that is in the Skies and Lands; He has full
knowledge of all things.‖
They impress on thee as a favor that they have embraced
Islam. Say, "Count not your Islam as a favor upon me, nay,
495
God has conferred a favor upon you that He has guided you
to the faith, if ye be true and sincere. Verily, God knows the
secrets of the Skies and Lands, and God sees well all that ye
do."

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 50 [Verse 1-4]: How much the earth
takes away?

Qaf. By the Glorious Qur'an.

Remarks:

I discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6 that alphabets like

Alif, Lam, and Mim are inscriptions incorporated by the
CCU (Central Computer of the Universes) into the
database (dhikra) of the Quran, which was installed in the
Prophet‘s (pbuh) brain in the Cave of Hira.

497
 The alphabets guided the brain-data (ruhs) of the
verses into the database (dhikra) of the Prophet‘s brain.
Thus, when two or more Surahs were revealed in the
same period, the verses did not mix, and the verses of
each Surah were stored in the proper sequence whenever
they were revealed.
Moreover, this Surah begins with 'Qaf' and discusses
the Qiyamah. Therefore, the alphabets may carry
meanings as well. In the case of this Surah, 'Qaf' may
represent 'Qiyamah.'‘.

But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner

from among themselves. So, the Unbelievers say, "This is a
wonderful thing! What! When we die and become dust—that
is a return far."
We already know how much of them the earth takes
away; with Us is a record guarding.

Remarks:

How much the earth takes away?

The entire genetic makeup of an animal is encoded in
a set of its DNA double helix molecules—this forms the
blueprint of its life. A set of 46 double helix DNA
molecules is sufficient to recreate a human.
The DNA molecule can survive in nature for a very
long time. Scientists hope that one day they will be able
to recreate dinosaurs using DNA molecules found in their
fossilized eggs.
The longevity of DNA depends on the organism's
final resting place. A team of researchers claims to have
discovered genetic material from prehistoric bacteria that
498
is 419 million years old. An earlier sample is believed to
be 250 million years old. The oldest Neanderthal DNA,
found in a Belgian cave, is estimated to be 100,000 years
old.
Scientists calculate that under ideal preservation
conditions, DNA bonds would begin to break down after
6.8 million years. Additionally, they require long
stretches of DNA to replicate it. Therefore, it is not
possible for them to recreate dinosaurs that lived 65
million years ago. But is it possible for God to recreate
dinosaurs from their DNA? It may be noted that
dinosaurs, too, will be resurrected, although they will not
enter paradise.
However, the problem is less for humans, as the Day
of Resurrection may not be far off. Furthermore, there
may be a set of double helix DNA molecules, or even a
complete cell, prepared, stored, and destined by God to
survive. It could also be a natural form of storage, as the
following verse says:

―It is He Who hath produced you from a Soul

Single, so a place of dwelling and a place of
storage. We detail Our signs for people who
understand.‖ [Al Quran 6:98]

The Earth is both a good place to dwell and an

excellent storage.
In the following verse, Allah says that an individual
will be recreated with the same fingerprint, which is
unique to each person.

499
 Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order
the very tips of his fingers.‖ [Al Qur'an 75:4]

FIGURE 50.1: Very Tip of the Finger

A person can be recreated with the same fingerprint if

he is created with the same set of DNA molecules he had
on the Earth.
Finally, a person will have no way to deny that he is
the same one who committed the crimes on Earth.

Section 2 of Chapter 50 [Verse 5-14]: In a State of

Confusion

But they deny the Truth, when it comes to them, so they are
in a confused state. Do they not look at the sky above them?
How We have made it, and adorned it, and there is no hole
(furujin) in it?

Remarks:

In the above verse, "the sky above them" refers to the sky
close to the Earth, which protects us through the
magnetosphere and atmosphere. There are no holes in
these spheres, as the verses above state: ―…there is no
hole (furujin) in it‖.

500
 However, there are holes in the ozone layer. But the
holes are over the Poles, not above the area where
humans live.
The ozone layer is found mainly in the lower
stratosphere, from 15 to 35 kilometers above the Earth.
The layer contains high concentration of ozone (O3). It
absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation of the Sun. The life
could not survive on the land without the ozone layer.

FIGURE 1.1: Hole of Ozone Layer

The ozone hole is not a 'hole' where no ozone is

present, but rather a region of exceptionally depleted
ozone in the Southern Hemisphere, occurring between
August and October. No human lives at the South Pole
(in Antarctica), so the hole does not constitute a part of
the "sky above them".
The Northern Hemisphere does not have a large,
recurring ozone hole like the Southern Hemisphere.
There are two holes in the magnetosphere through
which small amounts of harmful solar wind (streams of
photons and electrons) enter the Earth. However, the
501
 charged particles collide with the atmosphere and are
neutralized. These holes in the magnetosphere are also
located above the Polar Regions.

And the land, We have spread it out, and set thereon

mountains standing firm, and grown therein every kind from
―Pairs Attractive‖ (Zawgin-Baheej)—to be observed and
commemorated by every devotee turning.
And We send down from the sky rain charged with
blessing, and We produce therewith gardens and grain for
harvests and tall palm trees with shoots of fruit stalks piled
one over another as sustenance for servants, and We give life
therewith to land that is dead—so will be the Resurrection.

Remarks:

Allah has designed the land through continental drift and

set the mountains in place. The land is full of life. All life
forms are created from double helix DNA molecules. In
the verses above, the 'DNA molecules' are referred to as
'Attractive Pairs'.
A single round of DNA replication precedes cell
division. DNA replication is the process of producing two
identical replicas from one original double helix DNA
molecule. This biological process occurs in all living
organisms and is the basis of biological inheritance.
A double helix DNA molecule unwinds and divides
during replication. Each strand acts as a template for the
new strand. Bases are paired to synthesize the new
complementary strands. The old strands attract the new
strands, forming the new double helix DNA molecule.

502
 FIGURE 50.2: DNA Replication

A strand attracts nucleotides from the cytoplasm in

the correct sequence to produce a new strand. The new
strand is connected to the old strand by weak hydrogen
bonds, so the attraction is similar to a magnetic pull.
These strands can segregate and integrate as needed.
Therefore, in the verses under discussion, they are
referred to as 'Attractive Pairs' (zawgin-baheej).
A double helix DNA molecule releases different types
of mRNA (messenger RNA) to produce various proteins
in the ribosome, with the help of rRNA (ribosomal RNA)
and tRNA (transfer RNA). The tRNA collects the correct
amino acids (out of 20 types) from the cytoplasm. These
components are also perfectly attractive, indeed.

503
 FIGUTE 50.3: Protein Synthesis

He sends rain, and the rain brings the dead ground to

life by producing new life. The 'Attractive Pairs' (double
helix DNA molecules) are the foundation for making the
Earth alive.
A seed remains dormant, but as soon as the rain
comes, the codes in the DNA double helix bring it to life.
DNA replication begins, dividing the cells, and the plant
germinates. Likewise, the Resurrection of mankind will
occur, as stated in the verses above: ―…and We give life
therewith to land that is dead—so will be the
Resurrection.‖
504
 So will be the Resurrection:

A human needs a mother's womb to grow. How, then,

will he grow on Earth at the time of Resurrection?
Should it be possible? A plant cell and an animal cell
are almost the same. If plants can grow on Earth, why
can't humans?

FIGURE 50.4: Animal Cell and Plant Cell

A tiny embryonic plant, carrying a small food reserve

in its seed coat, can germinate with just a little rainfall.
Why, then, shouldn't humans grow from the Earth when
Allah has put the necessary supports in place? The double
helix DNA molecules of each human are preserved in
nature, and survive for millions of years. And each
human has his programmed nafs and memory data. A
little help may be needed to recreate him in full form.
The Resurrection is deliberately discussed in Section-
6 of Chapter-39.

Before them was denied by the People of Noah, the

companions of the Rass, the Thamud, the 'Ad, Pharaoh, the
505
Brethren of Lut, the companions of the Wood, and the people
of Tubba—each one rejected the Messengers, and My
warning was duly fulfilled.

Section 3 of Chapter 50 [Verse 15-29]: Two Angels and

Two Angels

Were We then weary with the first creation that they should
be in confused doubt about a new creation?
It was We Who created man, and We know what dark
suggestions his soul makes to him for We are nearer to him
than jugular vein. When receive, the two (angels) receivers,
seated on the right and on the left—not a word does he utter
but there is a sentinel by him, ready.
And the trance of death will bring truth: "This was the
thing which thou was trying to escape!"

Remarks:

Every human has two angels assigned to him, called

Kiraman and Katibin, who record everything a person
does. This record is called 'Amal-Nama,' and it will be
used for Judgment.
The record is shown to a person at the time of death.
Subsequently, the angels take both the record and the
deceased person, created virtually, to Allah. According to
His decision, the angels deposit the record and the nafs of
deceased person either into Illiyin or Sijjin.
The CCU holds a digital copy of each human‘s DNA
code. It can create a virtual human if his nafs is provided
to incorporate his emotions. The brain data can also be

506
 incorporated, allowing him to recall his memories. The
CCU is discussed in Section-6 of Chapter-39.

And the Trumpet shall be blown: that is the Day of

Warning. And there will come forth every soul; with each
will be an (angel) to drive, and an to bear witness.
Thou was heedless of this; now have We removed thy
veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day! And his companion will
say: "Here is ready with me!"

Remarks:

After the Resurrection, two angels will be sent to a

human. One will bear the witness (Amal-Nama / Record
of Deeds) and another will guide him up to the final
destination most likely.

Throw, throw into hell every contumacious rejecter who

forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts
and suspicions, who set up another god beside God, throw
him into a severe penalty.
His companion will say: "Our Lord! I did not make him
transgress, but he was far astray."
He will say: ―Dispute not with each other in My
Presence; I had already in advance sent you warning; the
word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice
to My servants.‖

507
Section-4 of Chapter 50 [Verse 30-35]: Art thou filled to
the full?

One Day We will ask Hell, "Are you filled to the full?" It will
say, "Are there any more?"

Remarks:

In Section-27 of Chapter-3, I have discussed the objects

of Hell with clear Verses and Hadiths. These objects are
galaxies of this universe (Samawaat). Many galaxies will
receive humans as God's vicegerents. The Samawaat is a
vast creation, and it does not deserve to be neglected.
Therefore, it will be questioned, as the above verse state:
"Are you filled to the full?"

FIGURE 50.5

The number of large galaxies is vast, exceeding one

hundred seventy billion. So, the universe will ask, "Are
there any more?" Ultimately, a large part of mankind will
be moved into the objects (galaxies) of this universe as
forgotten vicegerents of God.
508
 ―It will also be said: ―This day We will forget
you, as ye forgot the meeting of this day of yours!
And your abode is the fire, and no helpers have
ye!‖ [Al Quran 54: 34]

And the Jannaat will be brought nigh to the Guards—no

more a thing distant. This is what was promised for you for
everyone who turns, who keeps (their covenant with Allah),
who feared Most Gracious unseen and brought a mind turned
in devotion. Enter ye therein in peace and security; this is a
day of eternal life!
There will be for them therein all that they wish, and
more besides in Our presence.

Section 5 of Chapter 50 [Verse 36-37]: Verily in this is a

Message

But, how many generations before them did We destroy

stronger in power than they! Then, did they wander through
the land? Was there any place of escape?
Verily, in this is a message for any that has a mind and
understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses.

Remarks:

According to the above verses, the Quran is effective on

two kinds of people:
a. First Kind: That has a mind and understanding.
b. Second Kind: He listens and earnestly witnesses
(believes in one God and the afterlife). He may
not fully understand, but the Quran shapes his
509
 thoughts and guides him into the Straight Path.
The verses become ingrained in his mind and
admonish him if he deviates. The Quran heals the
mind; it is designed as guidance.

Section-6 of Chapter 50 [Verse 38-45]: The Land that will

Break Away

We created the Skies and Lands and all between them in Six
Days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us.
Bear then with patience all that they say and celebrate the
praises of thy Lord before the rising of the sun and before
setting. And during part of the night celebrate His praises,
after the postures of adoration.
And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from
a place quite near. The Day when they will hear a Blast, in
truth, that will be the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, it is We
who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination.
On the Day, the Land breaks away from them, quickly;
that will be a gathering together, quite easy for Us.

Remarks:

The Last Paragraph of above verses states: "On the Day,

the Land breaks away from them, quickly; that will be a
gathering together, quite easy for Us."
 Which land is the verse referring to?
 How is the verse related to the gathering for the
Final Judgment?
The matters are discussed as follows:

510
 The verse describes how the Land of Judgment will
be formed where resurrected living creatures will be
gathered for the Final Judgment.
The universe will be rolled-up and contracted to a
state that only the information (photons) and the
commands (ruhs / force fields that originated from
Nafsin-Wahidatin) will survive around a point of extreme
gravitational force, radiating from His face in form.
The gravitational force and other forces, radiating
from His face in form, make His 'face of nafs', which will
hold the universe, concentrated into a point:

―All that on it will perish. But will abide the Face

of thy Lord, Full of Majesty, Bounty and the
Honor.‖ [Al Quran 55:26-27]

―And call not besides God on another god. There

is no god but He. Everything will perish except
His own Face. To Him belongs the command, and
to Him will ye be brought back.‖
[Al Quran 28:88]

Thus, the universe (Samawaat) will return to Allah

with the complete history of the past cycle. Allah will
envision the future universe and program it accordingly.
He will then launch the universe again. The universe will
move into His right hand (the hand of nafs) and gain
mass, reviving to a state of Thaqal (Heavy Mass). The
resurrection of living creatures will occur in the state of
Thaqal.
The matter of the Solar System, along with the
resurrected living creatures, will be ejected from the
511
Thaqal. As a result, humans floating in Super Space with
the solar matter will witness the Land (Thaqal) moving
away from them, as the verses under discussion describe:
On the Day the Land (Thaqal) breaks away from them,
quickly; that will be a gathering together (on the Land of
Judgment), quite easy for Us.
The solar matter, along with the living creatures, will
move apart in Super Space to form the Land of Judgment
at the junction point of As-Sirat. From this junction point,
seven channels (Seven Tracts) will connect to this
universe (Thaqal at that time), and one pair of channels
will connect to the Jannaat via Araf.
Therefore, at the time of Judgment, there will be two
Heavy Masses (Thaqalani) in the Eastern Super Space:
one will be the Rolled-up Skies (Main Thaqal), and the
other will be the Land of Judgment (Satellite Thaqal).

Soon shall We settle your affairs, O both ye

Heavy Masses (Thaqalani). Then which of the
favors of your Lord ye deny?‖
[Al Quran 55:31-32]

After the Judgment, the Believers will be moved to

the Jannaat (located in the Western Super Space, beyond
the Barzakh), while the sinners will be cast into the Main
Thaqal, which will be unrolling violently at that time to
re-evolve the universe (the Skies/Samawaat). Eventually,
the universe will take on its matured form, with many
galaxies harboring humans as the forgotten vicegerents of
God.

512
 The universe (Samawaat) is inherently violent, so
they will experience pain. Allah will forget them, and
they will live in freedom forever in their galaxies.
We are creatures of a Mighty Creator who is
constantly evolving His creations into higher forms. He is
the Most Intelligent and Merciful. The journey into the
grave marks only the completion of a phase. Never lose
heart. One day, a hell-dweller may become the proud
owner of a gigantic galaxy. Even an ifrit (a giant jinn-like
creature) would think twice before approaching him. The
likely phases of human development are outlined below:
Phase 1: Creation of nafs (soul) with the unknown
force fields, extracted from the Nafsin-
Wahidatin (a Soul Single / GUT Force +).
Phase 2: Virtual Life in the CCU.
Phase 3: Formation of Body in the Mother‘s Womb.
Phase 4: Physical Life on the Earth.
Phase 5: Virtual Life in the Illiyin / Sijjin.
Phase 6: Resurrection.
Phase 7: Physical life in a galaxy of this universe, or
in a peaceful planet of the Jannaat.

We know best what they say, and you are not one to
subdue them by force. So, admonish with the Qur'an such as
fear My warning!

 Tafsir of the Surah
Segment-1
Understanding the Evolution of the Universe

Section 1 of Chapter 51 [Verse1-6]: Surety of Judgment

By those scattering, dispersing, and those carrying a load, and

those flowing with ease, and those distributing commands.
Verily, that which ye are promised is true, and verily,
Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass.

Remarks:

The angels and ruhs (commands) scatter from the

Sidratul-Muntaha, as the verses say: ―By those (angels
and ruhs) scattering, dispersing…‖
The angels and ruhs are carried in groups by divine
crafts (Raf Raf) that land on the Command Stations, as
the verses state: ―…and those carrying a load…‖
They are carried near the Job Stations by the
Sakinahs, as the verses state: ―…and those (Sakinahs)
flowing with ease…‖
Finally, the angels distribute the commands (ruhs), as
the verses state: ―…and those distributing commands.‖
[The System is deliberately discussed in Section-9 of
Chapter-6.]
The angels monitor the events related to the fates of
living creatures. But, what commands they distribute?
Most likely, the commands/ruhs are fate-data. The
fate-data are inserted into the cerebellum (the small brain

515
 at the back of the neck), from where they act on a time
scale.

―Every man's deeds (fate) We have fastened on

his own neck (fate-data, fed in the cerebellum); on
the Day of Judgment, We shall bring out for him a
scroll (Amal-Nama / Record of Deeds), which he
will see spread open…‖ [Al Quran 17:13]

If one is destined to experience an accident, the fate-

data inserted into the cerebellum will guide one step-by-
step to the point of the accident, with the angels
monitoring the process (it is discussed in Section-3 of
Chapter-17).
In the series of unfolding events, Doomsday is the
last, when Angel Israfil will blow the trumpet.

Section 2 of Chapter 51 [Verse7-19]: Differing Theories

By the sky (with the) nature of crochet, truly ye are in a

differing theory, through which are deluded, such as would
be deluded. Woe to the falsehood-mongers—those who
heedless in a flood of confusion—they ask, "When will be
the Day of Judgment and Justice?"
A Day when they will be tried over the Fire! ―Taste ye
your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!"

Remarks:

The above verses describe the nature of the sky as: ―By
the sky (with the) nature of crochet…‖ The skies are
waves of space—one inside another. The galaxies within
516
a sky are settling into the central sphere of the sky and
forming walls due to the design of the sky and its crochet-
like nature.
However, a galaxy cannot settle into the central
sphere without rolling. This rolling motion resembles the
swing of a pendulum, with the galaxy oscillating across
the central sphere before eventually settling into a wall.
The sky weaves the objects within its central sphere, even
as it expands or contracts.
Therefore, a wall shrinks in thickness as the falling
objects swing with ever-reducing amplitude. Thus, a sky
possesses the characteristic of a crochet hook, drawing
objects into its walls along the central sphere, as the
above verses state: "By the sky (with the nature of
crochet),‖

Figure 51.1: Crochet

The weaving skies are forming walls with the

galaxies, causing the skies to gradually decrease in
thickness. The central sphere of each sky is becoming
517
crowded with galaxies. In these dense regions, the
galaxies are compressed similar to quasars. Gradually,
they adhere to the walls, stabilizing the structures.
However, the galaxies do not merge with one another;
they remain distinct within the dense space.
Walls like Her–CrB GW, CCLOG, and Huge-LOG
appear to be located in the seventh sky. These walls span
billions of light-years in length and width, yet their
thickness is only 900 million light-years, which is less
than the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy. Despite their
thinness, the walls contain many galaxies, which are
squeezed within them.
As a wall shrinks in thickness, each subsequent wave
of light emitted becomes increasingly redshifted, causing
the object to appear as if it is receding at an ever-
increasing speed. So, if a cluster is settling closely into
the central sphere of a sky (into a wall), it exhibits the
'Finger of God' effect in the redshift plot.
All galaxies within a sky will eventually fall into the
central sphere, where the entire sphere will become a
continuous wall made of extremely compacted galaxies,
along with free dust and gas.
Therefore, a sky with walls is like an inflated balloon
whose elasticity continuously increases, causing the sky
to tend to contract. Due to the increasing pressure of
contraction, the sky tends to close in, and the rotation of
the sky around the axis of the universe increases.
Thus, the universe will be rolled up (contracted) in an
orderly fashion:

―On the day when We will roll up the Skies like

the rolling up of the scroll for writings; as We
518
 originated the first creation, We shall reproduce
it—a promise on Us; surely We will bring it
about.‖ [Al Quran 21: 104]

Finally, the universe will return to a state of

singularity (the Big Crunch), from which it will revive.

―And call not besides God on another god. There

is no god but He. Everything will perish except
His own Face. To Him belongs the Command,
and to Him will ye be brought back.‖
[Al Quran 28:88]

In the reviving initial universe, the Land of Judgment

will form, and the Judgment will be carried out:

―And not they honored Allah—true honor—while

the Land (the Land of Judgment) is assembling in
His hand on the Day of Resurrection; and the
Skies (Samawaat / this Universe) rolled-up in His
right hand. Glory be to Him! And high is He
above what they associate.‖ [Al Quran 39: 67]

But scientists with differing theories do not find a

point of Final Judgment and Salvation, as the verses
suggest: "Woe to the falsehood-mongers—those who
heedless in a flood of confusion—they ask, "When will be
the Day of Judgment and Justice?""

519
 FIGURE 51.1: Point of Final Judgment

The Quran clearly indicates the Point of Final

Judgment: the present universe (2nd Cycle) will collapse
and revive. The first day (the next Day of Law) of the
reviving universe will be the Day of Judgment, and it will
be an extreme Day: ―A Day when they will be tried over
the Fire!‖

As to the Guards, they will be in the midst of Jannaat and

springs; taking joy in the things, which their Lord gives them,
because before then they lived a good life. They were in the
habit of sleeping but little by night, and in the hours of early
dawn they were praying for forgiveness. And in their wealth
and possessions was the right of him who asked, and him
who was prevented (from asking).

520
Section 3 of Chapter 51 [Verse 20-23]: The Quran

On the Earth are signs for those of assured Faith, as also in

your own-selves; will ye not then see? And in the Sky is your
sustenance as that which ye are promised.
Then, by the Lord of the ‗Sky and Land‘ this is the very
Truth, as what you speak.

Section 4 [Verse 24-30]: News about Isaac

Has the story reached thee of the honored guests of

Abraham?
Behold, they entered his presence and said: "Peace!" He
said, "Peace, people unknown."
Then he turned quickly to his household, brought out a
fatted calf, and placed it before them.
He said, "Will ye not eat?"
He conceived a fear of them. They said, "Fear not" and
they gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with
knowledge.
But his wife came forward aloud; she smote her forehead
and said: "A barren old woman!"
They said, "Even so, has thy Lord spoken, and He is full
of Wisdom and Knowledge."

521
Section 5 of Chapter 51 [Verse 31-37]: People of Lut

(Abraham) Said: "And what, O ye Messengers (angels), is

your errand?"
They said, "We have been sent to a people in sin to bring
on on them stones of clay, marked as from thy Lord for those
who trespass beyond bounds."
Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were
there, but We found not there any just persons except in one
house.
And We left there a sign for such as fear the Grievous
Penalty.

Section 6 of Chapter 51 [Verse 38-40]: Pharaoh

And in Moses: Behold, We sent him to Pharaoh with

authority manifest, but turned back with his chiefs and said,
"A sorcerer or one possessed!"
So, We took him and his forces and threw them into the
sea, and his was the blame.

Section 7 of Chapter 51 [Verse 41-46]: Ad, Thamud and

People of Noah

And in the 'Ad, behold, We sent against them the devastating

wind. It left nothing whatever that it came up against but
reduced it to ruin and rottenness.
And in the Thamud, behold, they were told, "Enjoy for a
little while!" But they insolently defied the command of their
Lord. So, the stunning noise seized them, even while they
were looking on. Then they could not even stand, nor could
they help themselves.
522
 So, were the people of Noah before them, for they
wickedly transgressed.

Segment-3
Aim of Creation

Section 8 of Chapter 51 [Verse 47-51]: A Real Prophet

And the Sky, We constructed it with hands (bi-aydin), and,

indeed, We are surely are Expanders.

Remarks:

In the 1920s, Edwin Hubble observed that galaxies were

moving away from us. He conducted his experiment on
many galaxies in different directions and at various
distances, and found that all distant galaxies were
receding.

FIGURE 51.2: The Expansion

The recession velocity of a galaxy is directly

proportional to its distance: the farther away a galaxy is,
523
 the faster it moves away. This discovery proves that the
universe is expanding.
In 1998, scientists observed that the expansion of the
universe had been accelerating for the last five billion
years. This observation revealed the presence of hidden
energy (dark energy) in space, which was causing the
acceleration.
Otherwise, a universe organized as Seven Skies
would require extra energy to expand.
In the verse under discussion, the energy of expansion
is described as the force of His hands (hand of nafs):
―And the Sky, We constructed it with hands, and indeed
We are surely are Expanders.‖
The space of the universe is created by the hand (the
hand of nafs) of Allah. This hand comprises several force
fields (elementary souls/ruhs), such as gravitational force,
vacuum energy, quantum fields, dark energy, and more.
Dark energy drives the expansion of the universe.
His hands of nafs are deliberately discussed in
Section-1 of Chapter-1. The hand is discussed in Section-
2 of Chapter-45 as well.

And We have spread out the Earth; how excellently We

do spread out!

Remarks:

The land of the Earth has been shaped by the spreading of

the continents through Plate Tectonics.

524
 FIGURE 51.3: Drifting Continents

And in everything We have created pairs (double helix

DNA molecules) that ye may receive instruction.

Remarks:

All living creatures are created from the Pairs (double

helix DNA Molecules). It produces our brains. The brain
can receive and store information. So, we can remember,
as the above verse narrates.

525
 FIGURE 51.4: Double Helix DNA Molecule
(Pair)

―Hasten ye then to God. I am from Him a Warner to you,

clear and open!
And make not another an object of worship with God. I
am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!‖

Section 9 of Chapter 51 [Verse 52-55]: What a Legacy!

Similarly, no apostle came to the peoples before them but

they said in like manner: "A sorcerer or one possessed"! Is
this the legacy they have transmitted one to another? Nay,
they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!
526
 So, turn away from them—not thine is the blame; but
teach, for teaching benefits the Believers.

Section 10 of Chapter 51 [Verse 56-60]: Aim of creating

Jinns and Men

I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
No sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they
should feed Me; for God is He Who gives sustenance—Lord
of Power, Steadfast.
For the Wrongdoers, their portion is like unto the portion
of their fellows. Then let them not ask Me to hasten! Woe
then to the Unbelievers on account of that Day of theirs,
which they have been promised!

Chapter 52 [Al Tur THE MOUNT]
Introduction

The Surah describes Reward and Punishment, and highlights

the depth of denial of the Unbelievers.

Flowchart

Section 1 [Verse 1-28]: Assurance

Section 2 [Verse 29-49]: Punishment Justified

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 52 [Verse 1-28]: Assurance

By the Tur, by a decree inscribed in a scroll unfolded; by the

Baitul-Mamur, by the Roof raised high, and by the ocean
filled with swell, verily, the Doom of thy Lord will indeed
come to pass. There is none can avert it. On the Day when
the Skies will be rolling and the mountains will pass on,
flying. Then woe that Day to those that treat as falsehood,
that play in shallow trifles, that Day shall they be thrust down
to the fire of hell, irresistibly.

Remarks:

The Doom is incorporated in the universal evolution:

―But it is also possible that expansion will be
reversed by the pull of gravity, that all matter will
collapse once again into a super-dense ‗singularity‘, and
528
that another universe will be born in another Big Bang a
cycle that could be repeated forever‖.
– To the Edge of Eternity by John Gribbin in The
Encyclopedia of Space Travel and Astronomy edited by
John Man.

FIGURE 52.1: Point of Judgment

According to the Quran, the universe will collapse by

the skies being rolled up. It will be compressed to a state
where matter will perish. The universe will become a
point (Big Crunch), held by the forces radiating from the
face of God.

―And call not besides God on another god; there is

no god but He. Everything will perish except His
own Face. To Him belongs the Command and to
Him will ye be brought back.‖ [Al Quran 28:88]
529
 ―All that on it will perish, but will abide the Face
of thy Lord, Full of Majesty, Bounty and the
Honor.‖ [Al Quran 55: 26–27]

The universe will then be re-programmed to evolve

and resurrect the living creature.

―On the day when We will roll up the Skies like

the rolling up of the scroll for writings; as We
originated the first creation, We shall reproduce
it—a promise on Us; surely We will bring it
about.‖ [Al Quran 21: 104]

The rolled-up universe (Big Crunch) will unroll and

move to the right hand (the hand of Nafs) of Allah, where
the formation of matter will be possible. The universe,
will gain mass. Once the universe attains the state of
heavy mass (Thaqal), the Resurrection of the Dead will
occur, and the evolution of the universe will be halted
temporarily for the Judgment.
The matter of the Solar System and the resurrected
living creatures will be ejected from the Thaqal. The piles
of matter will look like mountains flying through the
Super Space. The mountains of matter will move to the
Junction Point of As-Sirat (the Path) and join together to
form the Land of Judgment.

―And not they honored Allah—true honor—while

the Land (the Land of Judgment) is assembling in
His hand on the Day of Resurrection; and the
Skies (Samawaat / this Universe) rolled-up in His
530
 right hand. Glory be to Him! And high is He
above what they associate.‖ [Al Quran 39: 67]

FIGURE 52.2: Land of Judgment

The Land of Judgment will be connected to the halted

Thaqal (super-compact Skies) by seven tracts. It will be
linked to the Araf by a pair of tracks (the channel of
darkness, which is for humans, is shown in the figure).
From the Land of Judgment, the sinners will be thrust
down into the unrolling Thaqal, reviving the objects of
Hell (galaxies). A person will be thrust down through one
of the Seven Tracts. Ultimately, he will reach his galaxy
by following the tract and the sub-tracts. The guiding
angel will be assigned from the time of their resurrection.
After the Judgment, evolution will resume, and the
Thaqal will restart rolling to form the Skies. The skies
will flare up the rolling galaxies with each having a
human as a vicegerent of God. Thus the verses under
discussion say: "On the Day when the Skies will be
rolling and the mountains will pass on, flying. Then woe
that Day to those that treat as falsehood, that play in

531
 shallow trifles, that Day shall they be thrust down to the
fire of hell, irresistibly,"

―This‖, it will be said, ―is the Fire, which ye were wont to

deny! Is this then a fake, or is it ye that do not see?‖ Burn ye
therein; the same is it to you whether ye bear it with patience,
or not. Ye but receive the recompense of your deeds.‖

Remarks:

I have identified the Objects of Hell in Section-27 of

Chapter-3. These are the galaxies of this universe, which
will exist in a compact state within the unrolling Thaqal.
Eventually, the skies will open, and a sinner will find
himself in a galaxy, destined on the Day of Judgment. He
will become the eternal vicegerent of God over the entire
galaxy, though forgotten. He will find the jinn living in
the galaxy as his allies.

As to the Guards, in Jannaat and happiness, enjoying,

which their Lord has bestowed on them; and their Lord has
protected them from the penalty of the fire. Eat and drink ye
with profit and health because of your deeds.
They will recline on Thrones arranged in ranks, and We
shall join them to companions with beautiful big and lustrous
eyes.
And those who believe and whose families follow them
in Faith, to them shall We join their families, nor shall We
deprive them of aught of their works—each individual is in
pledge for his deeds.
And We shall bestow on them of fruit and meat, anything
they shall desire. They shall there exchange one with another
532
a cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill. Round about
them will serve to them youths as pearls well-guarded.
They will advance to each other engaging in mutual
enquiry. They will say: "Aforetime, we were not without fear
for the sake of our people. But God has been good to us and
has delivered us from the penalty of the poison. Truly we did
call unto Him from of old; truly it is He, the Beneficent, the
Merciful!"

Remarks:

Mankind will be divided into two groups. One group will

be moved into the Jannaat as empowered vicegerents of
God.
Another group (sinners) will be moved into the
Samawaat (this universe). Each of them will find a
galaxy, as a forgotten vicegerent of God. The galaxies are
full of anti-matter. Antimatter is poisonous for matter.
Collision of matter and antimatter annihilate both by
producing great flash of light, making a galaxy a hostile
abode.
In the past virtual life, we intended to be the
vicegerents of God. On the Earth, we are under test to
confirm who deserves what?

―We did indeed offer the Trust to the Skies and

Lands and the Mountains, but they refused to
undertake it being afraid thereof. But man
undertook it; he was indeed unjust and foolish—
that God has to punish the Hypocrites, men and
women, and the Unbelievers, men and women;

533
 and God turns in mercy to the Believers, men and
women; for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[Al Quran 33: 72-73]

[The Virtual Universe was meant to plan the creation; it

has been discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6]

Section 2 of Chapter 52 [Verse 29-49]: Punishment

Justified

Therefore, proclaim thou the praises; for by the grace of thy

Lord thou are no soothsayer, nor are thou one possessed.
Or do they say: ―A Poet! We await for him some calamity
by time!‖
Say thou: ―Await ye; I too will wait along with you!‖
Is it that their faculties of understanding urge them to this,
or are they but a people transgressing beyond bounds?
Or do they say he fabricated it? Nay, they have no faith!
Let them then produce a recital like unto it, if they speak the
truth!
Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves
the creators?
Or did they create the Skies and Lands? Nay, they have
no firm belief.
Or are the treasures of thy Lord with them, or are they the
managers?
Or have they a ladder by which they can listen? Then let
listener of theirs produce a manifest proof.
Or has He only daughters and ye have sons?
Or is it that thou do ask for a reward so that they are
burdened with a load of debt?

534
 Or that the unseen is in their hands, and they write it
down?
Or do they intend a plot? But those who defy God are
themselves involved in a plot!
Or have they a god other than God? Exalted is God, far
above the things they associate with Him.
Were they to see a piece of the sky falling, they would
say: ―Clouds gathered in heaps!‖ So, leave them alone until
they encounter that Day of theirs wherein they shall swoon;
the Day when their plotting will avail them nothing and no
help shall be given them.
And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment
before that, but most of them do not know.
And be patient for the decision of your Lord, for indeed
you are in Our eyes. And celebrate the praises of thy Lord,
while you stand forth, and of the night glorify Him, and after
the stars!

Remarks:

"Were they to see a piece of the sky falling, they would

say, "Clouds gathered in heaps!"" Here, "a piece of the
sky falling" refers to a large heap of asteroids falling onto
the Earth. Indeed, a heap of falling asteroids would
resemble a cloud. However, Allah would not punish the
ignorant and weak with such a fate, for they would die
before they could comprehend anything.
But the resurrected humans will be tough giants, and
they will gain wisdom through the passage of time. They
will not die, but will swoon under harsh punishment.
Thus, the verses that follow say: ―So, leave them alone
until they encounter that Day of theirs wherein they shall
535
swoon; the Day when their plotting will avail them
nothing and no help shall be given them.‖

Chapter 53 [Al Najm THE STAR]
Introduction

The Surah speaks about the revelation of the Quran. It

discusses the Command System of the Most High and calls
for absolute devotion. None can intercede in the
materialization of His plan. He is the sole authority to forgive
and to save from disease, danger, and Hell.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 53 [Verse 1-12]: The Descent of the
Quran

By the star when it goes down, your companion is neither

astray, nor being misled, nor does he say of desire; it is no
less than inspiration sent down to him.
He was taught by one (Gabriel), intense in strength, one
of soundness. And he rose to true shape while he was in the
higher horizon. Then he approached and descended and was
at a distance of but two bow-lengths, or nearer. So, did
convey the inspiration to His Servant what He to convey.
537
 The heart in no way falsified that which he saw. Will ye
then dispute with him concerning what he saw?

Remarks

The Quran descended in the First Sky at one time, but it

was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in small
parts.
When the first few verses were revealed in the Cave
of Hira, Gabriel appeared as a massive entity on the
horizon. Gradually, he approached and shrank in size,
until he was right in front of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Gabriel showed the verses, written on something, and
asked Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to read. However, he
could not read. Gabriel embraced him and opened a path
through his backbone to implant the verses directly into
his brain. The entry point of this path appeared as a
swollen muscle on his backbone, just below the neck.
This entry point is called Mohr-e-Nabuat.
Initially, Gabriel implanted the database (dhikra) of
the Quran into the brain of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) so
that the verses could be stored in their proper places
whenever they would be given. After inserting the
database, Gabriel inserted the first few verses of Surah Al
Alaq.
The verses used to come as ruh, created with low-
energy electromagnetic force fields, functioning as brain
data.
Therefore, it was not possible for Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) to forget a verse, and he was told not to be anxious
about remembering. Memorizing the verses was not
needed for him. Whenever Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
538
 wished, the data of the verses would be downloaded from
his brain into his mind (qalb), and he could recite them.
Subsequently, the minor angels of Gabriel delivered
the verses through this path directly into his brain.

Section 2 of Chapter 53 [Verse 13-18]: Sidratul-Muntaha

And certainly, he saw him in Second Descent near Lote-Tree

(Sidratul-Muntaha), beyond which none may pass; near it is
Jannaatu-Mawa. Covered the Sidratul-Muntaha that which
cover; sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong, for truly, did
he see of the signs of his Lord, the Greatest!

Remarks:

The 'Second Descent' mentioned in the above verses

refers to the Night Journey (Miraj) when Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) visited Samawaat, Araf, Arsh, and
Jannaat. To understand the Second Descent, one needs a
general understanding of the entire creation.

Sidratul-Muntaha

During the Night Journey, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

saw Sidratul-Muntaha from the Seventh Sky (the
Outermost Sky). It resembled a giant upside-down lote
tree, rooted in the Arsh and hanging over the Araf
(Elevated Land) with two main branches. One branch
connects the Eastern Araf, while the other connects the
Western Araf. It is somewhat like the Azadi Tower of
Tehran, but hanging from above.

539
 FIGURE 53.1: Azadi Tower, Tehran

The above verses say: "…beyond which none may

pass; near it is Jannat al-Mawa." If a person enters
Sidratul-Muntaha through the Eastern Branch and
ascends, he will reach the Arsh; and if he enters the
Western Branch and proceeds, he reaches the Western
Araf. The Western Araf lies at the mid-level of Jannaat; it
is the level of Jannat al-Mawa.
The Sidratul-Muntaha acts as a checkpoint,
preventing anyone from the Eastern Araf entering the
Arsh or Western Araf without permission.

FIGURE 53.2: Sidratul-Muntaha and Barzakh

540
Barzakh

The Barzakh is a barrier space through which only light

can pass. It begins from between the branches of Sidratul-
Muntaha and divides the Araf and the Super Space into
eastern and western parts.
The Samawaat (this universe) is located in the Eastern
Super Space, and the Jannaat is located in the Western
Super Space. Thus, from the Samawaat (this universe)
one cannot move into the Jannaat directly due to the
Barzakh.

―O ye assembly of Jinns and men, if it be ye can

pass beyond the zones of the Skies and Lands
(this universe), pass ye! Not without authority
shall ye be able to pass!‖ [Al Quran 55:33]

Likely relative positions are shown in the figure

below. The Arsh is not part of the Super Space.

FIGURE 53.3: Arsh and Super Space

541
The First Descent

The verses under discussion refer to the 'Second Descent':

"And certainly, he saw him in the Second Descent, near
the Lote Tree (Sidratul-Muntaha)." To understand the
Second Descent, one must understand the First Descent.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ascended to the Arsh,
traveling through the Skies, the Eastern Araf, and
Sidratul-Muntaha. The following Hadith confirms this:

―After traveling through the Seven Skies, I was

raised to the extreme height. I reached a smooth,
flat plain where only the sound of the pen was
being heard.‖ [Bukhari]

The Prophet (pbuh) moved to a place where he heard the

sound of the Pen. The Pen is located in the Arsh. Thus,
Prophet (pbuh) ascended to the Arsh, passing through
East Araf and Sidratul-Muntaha.
From the Arsh, the Prophet (pbuh) descended into the
West Araf through the western branch of Sidratul-
Muntaha. Then, from the West Araf, Prophet (pbuh)
descended into the Jannaat. This was his First Descent.

The Second Descent

After visiting the Jannaat, the Prophet (pbuh) returned to

the Arsh via the same path and then descended into the
East Araf, where he met Gabriel again. This was his
Second Descent. From the East Araf, he descended into
the Samawaat (this universe).
542
Function of Sidratul-Muntaha

In the Araf, Prophet (pbuh) saw many angels being

programmed, as the verses under discussion say:
―Covered the Tree (Sidratul-Muntaha) that which cover;
sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong! For truly did he
see of the signs of his Lord, the Greatest‖
An angel cannot learn on its own—Adam was able to
learn the names of the items shown, while the angels
could not. The Sidratul-Muntaha infuses knowledge into
an angel to enable him to perform his task. It also
redesigns the angel for the purpose.
Prophet (pbuh) saw thousands of angels were falling
on Sidratul-Muntaha, like innumerable insects falling on
a tree. The Sidratul-Muntaha tasks and programs the
angels according to the instructions of the CCU, and
sends them to their job stations. Prophet (pbuh) saw the
programming:

―It is narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik

that the Messenger of Allah said: Then I was
taken to Sidratul-Muntaha whose leaves were like
elephant‘s ears and its fruit like big earthenware
vessels. And when it was covered by the
Commands (electromagnetic force fields carrying
instructions) of Allah, it underwent such a change
that none amongst the creation has the power to
praise its beauty‖ [Hadith]

―On top of each leaf, there was an angel who

covered it with colors which cannot be described.
543
 Whenever he covered it by Allah's order
(electromagnetic force fields carrying
instructions), it would change. One version says:
It would turn into sapphire and chrysolite, the
beauty of which it is impossible for anyone to
praise according to what it merits. On it were
moths of gold‖ [Hadith]

According to the above Hadiths, when an angel sits on a

leaf, an instrument hangs over him. In the Hadith, this
instrument is described as a 'fruit, like earthenware
vessel'. When commands (electromagnetic force fields
carrying instructions) arrive, they are spurted through the
instrument into the angel, and they sparkles with light
rays of varying colors. This indicates that the data is
infused into the angel through the instrument. In this way,
the angel is assigned the knowledge of its task, and its
body may be redesigned to fulfill it. The angel is then
sent to its assigned station with a group.
The CCU is deliberately discussed in Secrion-9 of
Chapter-6.

Section 3 of Chapter 53 [Verse 19-30]: None can Intercede

Have ye seen Lat and Uzza and another, the third, Manat?
What! For you the male sex, and for Him the female! Behold,
such would be indeed a division most unfair!
These are nothing but names which ye have devised—
you and your fathers—for which God has sent down no
authority.
They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own
souls desire, even though there has already come to them
544
Guidance from their Lord! Or is there for man whatever he
wishes? But it is to God that the End and the Beginning
belong.
How many-so-ever be the angels in the Skies, their
intercession will avail nothing, except after God has given
leave for whom He pleases, and that he is acceptable to Him.
Those who believe not in the Hereafter name the angels
with female names. But they have no knowledge therein.
They follow nothing but conjecture, and conjecture avails
nothing against Truth.
Therefore, shun those who turn away from Our Message
and desire nothing but the life of this world. That is as far as
knowledge will reach them. Verily, thy Lord knows best
those who stray from His Path, and He knows best those who
receive guidance.

Section 4 of Chapter 53 [Verse 31-55]: Allah is the Sole

Authority

Yea, to God belongs all that is in the Skies and Lands so that
He rewards those who do evil according to their deeds.

Remarks:

The Skies and the Lands (Samawaat-wal-Ard, or this

universe) are full of galaxies. These galaxies will be
allotted to the Unbelievers according to their deeds. A
great sinner will be given a vast galaxy with trillions of
stars. He will be a vicegerent of God over his galaxy, but
forgotten.

545
 And He rewards those who do good with what is best.
Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only small
faults—verily thy Lord is ample in forgiveness.
He knows you well when He brings you out of the earth
and when you are hidden in your mothers' wombs. Therefore,
justify not yourselves; He knows best who it is that guards.
See thou one who turns back, gives a little, then hardens?
What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see?
Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses
and of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements? Namely:
That no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another, that
man can have nothing but what he strives for, that his striving
will soon come in sight; then will he be rewarded with a
reward complete.
That to thy Lord is the Final Goal.
That it is He Who grants Laughter and Tears.
That it is He Who grants Death and Life.
That He created the pairs; the male and the female from a
drop when lodged.

Remarks:

Out of 46 chromosomes, two are sex chromosomes:

 The sex chromosomes of a male are X and Y
chromosomes.
 The sex chromosomes of a female are X and X
chromosomes.
If a zygote forms with the XY chromosome, the baby
will be male; and if the zygote forms with the XX
chromosome, the baby will be female.
In this verse, the point to note is: ―…the male and the
female from a drop when lodged.‖ The semen is lodged,
546
 and it carries the sperms. The chromosomes of sperms are
haploid. So, some sperms carry Y chromosomes, and
some carry X chromosomes. If a sperm with Y
chromosome fertilizes the egg, the baby becomes male,
and vice Versa.
Thus, a male or female child is produced due to the
sperm, not the ovum. Therefore, men are responsible for
the birth of a baby-girl or baby-boy.

That He has promised a Second Creation.

That it is He Who gives wealth and satisfaction.
That He is the Lord of Sirius. And that it is He Who
destroyed the ancient 'Ad. And the Thamud, nor gave them a
lease of perpetual life. And before them, the people of Noah,
for that they were most unjust and most insolent
transgressors. And He destroyed the overthrown Cities and
covered them by that which He covered.
Then which of the gifts of thy Lord wilt thou dispute
about?

Remarks:

In the above verses, the destruction of cities is mentioned

after declaring Allah as the Lord of the star Sirius: ―That
He is the Lord of Sirius. And that it is He Who destroyed
the ancient 'Ad. And the Thamud…‖
So, the destruction of the cities was related to Sirius.
But how was it related?
The Universe is billions of light-years across, and we
live in the innermost region (the First Sky). An angel
starting from Sidratul-Muntaha would take billions of
years to reach the Earth, even if he were moving at the
547
speed of light. Therefore, Allah has prepositioned the
angels in the Skies, according to the predicted fate, in
groups that span 1,000 years.

―He rules affairs from the Skies to the Earth, in

the end will go up to Him on a day, the space
whereof will be a thousand years of your
reckoning.‖ [Al Quran 32: 5]

The groups of angels initially descend into the

Command Station. There are seven Command Stations in
seven Skies. These Command Stations are special entities
that house Archangels and Server Computers. The
Servers are linked to Sidratul-Muntaha. It is likely that
Archangel Michael commands the Command Station of
the First Sky.

―Allah is He Who created Seven Skies and the

lands an equivalent (seven astral objects).
Through the midst of them descends His
command that ye may know that Allah has power
over all things and that comprehends all things in
knowledge.‖ [Al Quran 65:12]

There are many Fortresses under each Command

Station. The Fortresses are star-like objects that harbor
the angels. These angels remain energetic in the stars, as
they are created from light.

―It is We who have set out fortresses in the Skies

and made them fair-seeming to beholders. And
We have guarded them from every satans
548
 accursed. But any that gains a hearing by stealth is
pursued by a flaming fire, bright‖
[Al Quran 15: 16–18]

From the Fortresses, the angels move to their job

stations through successive Sakinahs. Each Sakinah
carries a group for a period of one thousand months
(approximately 83 years).
The bright star Sirius is a Fortress. It is located under
the Command Station of the First (Innermost) Sky. Sirius
harbors the angels of destruction.
The angels of destruction are prepositioned on the
basis of predicted fate. So, there may be last moment
changes, though in most cases, the predictions come true.
The people of Enoch corrected themselves in their final
moments, and as a result, the punishment was directly
canceled by Allah.
Allah is Merciful. He delayed the Flood of Noah for a
long time.
[The cybernetic system of the angels is deliberately
discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6]

The Sirius System

The Sirius is the brightest star visible to the unaided

eye. To find Sirius, one may use the Belt of Orion as the
pointer—the line of three stars is pointing Sirius to the
left. The star is 20 times brighter than the Sun. It is 8.6
(eight-point-six) light years away.

549
 FIGURE 53.4: Sirius A and B

In 1862, Alvan Graham Clark discovered that Sirius

has a faint companion. It is thought to be a white dwarf. It
is named Sirius B. It is 10000 times dimmer than Sirius.
Sirius B has a mass 98 percent that of our Sun.
Despite its large mass, Sirius B has a diameter of only
12,000 kilometers, making it smaller than Earth and much
denser. Its gravitational force is 350,000 times stronger
than Earth's gravitational force.
The stars in a binary system rotate around a common
center of gravity.
Some astronomers predict that Sirius may have a
third, tiny companion. However, telescopic observations
reveal nothing. It could be an opening (portal) to a sub-
channel leading from the Command Station of the First
Sky, which might resemble a tiny black hole.

Section 5 of Chapter 53 [Verse 56-62]: A Warner of the

Warners of the Old

This is a Warner of the Warners of the old! The ever-

approaching draws nigh; none but God can lay it bare.

550
 Do ye then wonder at this recital? And will ye laugh, and
not weep, wasting your time in vanities?
But fall ye down in prostration to God and adore!

551
Chapter 54 [Al Qamar THE MOON]
Introduction

The Quran is a book of great knowledge. It proves by itself

that it is a book from the true Creator.
But, the Quran is easy to understand, as it says: And We
have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and
remember; then is there any that will receive admonition?
Thus, the Quran should be followed according to its
obvious meanings. It should also be memorized so that the
verses can shape the mind.

Section 1 of Chapter 54 [Verse1-8]: Following the Lusts

The Hour is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder. But if they
see a sign, they turn away and say, "This is transient magic."

552
Remarks:

We find only a few Hadiths in respect of splitting the

Moon:
―This Hadith has been transmitted on the authority
of Abdullah b. Mas'ud: We were along with
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) at Mina that the Moon
was split up into two. One of its parts was behind
the mountain and the other one was on this side of
the mountain. Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said to
us: Bear witness to this‖ [Muslim]

―Anas reported that some people of Makkah

demanded from Allah's Messenger (pbuh) that he
should show them a sign, and he showed the
splitting of Moon‖ [Muslim]

The picture below shows the sign that the Moon could
have been divided:

FIGURE 54.1: Moon (Far Side)

553
 However, the interpretation of the picture may be
incorrect.
And the verse says: ―The Hour is nigh, and the moon
is cleft asunder‖. It may mean that the Moon will be
cleft asunder when Doomsday is near.
The Hadiths I have narrated may be fabrications. It
should be remembered that the Hadiths were collected
and recorded after about 100 to 300 years.
Such signs remain doubtful. A follower may believe,
while others may not. One might perceive the miraculous
sign as magic as well.
However, none can disbelieve the scientific signs
embedded in the Quran. An intelligent and educated
rejecter denies the Quran despite knowing it is true. They
choose to follow their desires and lack the mental
strength to forsake their carefree, indulgent life. Rejecting
the Quran for the sake of this short earthly life is indeed
an eternal loss.

They reject and follow their lusts, but every matter has its
appointed time. There have already come to them of the
information wherein deterrence, mature wisdom—and
Warners profits them not.
Therefore, turn away from them. The Day that the Caller
will call to a terrible affair, they will come forth, their eyes
humbled from graves, like locusts scattered abroad hastening
with eyes transfixed towards the Caller. "Hard is this Day",
the Unbelievers will say.

554
Section 2 of Chapter 54 [Verse 9-17]: Noah

Before them the People of Noah rejected. They rejected Our

servant and said, "Here is one possessed!" And he was driven
out.
Then he called on his Lord, "I am one overcome; do Thou
then help!"
So, We opened the gates of sky with water pouring forth,
and We caused the earth to gush forth with springs. So, the
waters met to the extent decreed. But, We bore him on an
(Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fiber; she
floats under our eyes—a recompense to one who had been
rejected! And We have left this as a sign; then is there any
that will receive admonition?
But how was My penalty and My warning?
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand
and remember, then is there any that will receive admonition?

Section 3 of Chapter 54 [Verse18-22]: 'Ad

The 'Ad rejected: Then how terrible was My penalty and My

warning? For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day
of violent disaster, plucking out men as if they were roots of
palm-trees torn up.
Yea, how was My penalty and My warning!
But We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand
and remember, then is there any that will receive admonition?

Section 4 of Chapter 54 [Verse 23-32]: Thamud

The Thamud rejected Warners: For they said, "What! A man!

A solitary one from among ourselves! Shall we follow such a
555
one? Truly, should we then be straying in mind and mad! Is it
that the Message is sent to him of all people amongst us?
Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"
Ah! They will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the
insolent one! For We will send the she-camel by way of trial
for them. So, watch them and possess thyself in patience!
And tell them that the water is to be divided between them;
each one's right to drink being brought forward.
But they called to their companion, and he took a sword
in hand and hamstrung.
Ah! How was My penalty and My warning! For We sent
against them a single mighty blast and they became like the
dry stubble used by one who pens cattle.
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand
and remember, then is there any that will receive admonition?

Section 5 of Chapter 54 [Verse 33-40]: Lut

The people of Lut rejected warning. We sent against them a

violent Tornado with showers of stones, except Lut's
household—them We delivered by early dawn, as a grace
from Us; thus do We reward those who give thanks.
And did warn them of Our punishment, but they disputed
about the warning. And they even sought to snatch away his
guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. Now taste ye My
wrath and My warning.
Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them.
So, taste ye My wrath and My warning.
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand
and remember, then is there any that will receive admonition?

556
Section 6 of Chapter 54 [Verse 41-45]: People of Pharaoh

To the People of Pharaoh too aforetime came Warners. They

rejected all Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with
such penalty from One, Exalted in Power, able to carry out
His Will.
Are your Unbelievers better than they? Or have ye
immunity in the Sacred Books?
Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting"?
Assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs.

Section 7 of Chapter 54 [Verse 46-50]: Moving into Hell

Nay, the Hour is the time promised to them, and that Hour
will be most grievous and most bitter.
Truly, those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad.
The Day they will be dragged through the fire on their faces:
―Taste ye the touch of hell!‖ Verily, all things have We
created in proportion and measure, and Our command is but a
single, like the twinkling of an eye.

Remarks:

How will the sinners be dragged through the fire on their

faces, as the above verses state: "The Day they will be
dragged through the fire on their faces: "Taste ye the
touch of hell!""
The Land of Judgment will be created specifically in
the Super Space, using matter taken from the reviving
initial universe of the next cycle, in the state of Thaqal
(Heavy Mass). After the Judgment, the sinners will be
moved into the reviving universe through seven channels
557
running through the Super Space. The sinners will travel
through these channels like flying supermans.

FIGURE 54.2: Dragged through the Fire on their Faces

At that time, the reviving universe will be unfolding

with burning nascent galaxies. They will drag the sinners
through the Fire on their faces.
Ultimately, each sinner will reach his designated
galaxy on that Day of Law. Therefore, the verses under
discussion say: ―The Day they will be dragged through
the Fire on their faces: ―Taste ye the touch of Hell!"
Verily, all things have We created in proportion and
measure, and Our command is but a single, like the
twinkling of an eye.‖
At one stage, the Land of Judgment will be engulfed
by the reviving universe.
The initial evolution of the reviving universe will
resemble a prolonged explosion. However, even in an
explosion, every particle follows its predetermined path.
And for the humans, the driving angels will be detailed
558
 from the beginning of the Resurrection. Thus, every
sinner will reach his destination, determined through the
judgment:

―And there will come forth every soul: with each

will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear
witness (Amal-Nama)‖ [Al Quran 50:21]

Section 8 of Chapter 54 [Verse 51-55]: Conclusion

And in the past have We destroyed gangs like unto you, then
is there any that will receive admonition?
All that they do is noted in Books—every matter, small
and great, is on record.
As to the Guards: They will be in the midst of Jannaat
and Rivers, in an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a
Sovereign Omnipotent.

 Tafsir of the Surah
Segment-1
Today

Section 1 of Chapter 55 [Verse 1-4]: Gracious God

Most Gracious! It is He Who has taught the Qur'an. He has

created man; He has taught him to talk.

Remarks:

A human is created with a suitable tongue, teeth, lips,

nose, throat, lungs, and other structures that enable
speech. Innumerable nerves connect the muscles to the
highly developed brain to coordinate the actions required
for talking. This is not a simple design. We possess fully
developed languages.
Inspiration may arise from the inherent emotions of
the nafs (soul). The brain translates this inspiration into
language and generates corresponding commands for the
muscles. These commands are transmitted through the
nerves, which coordinate the movement of the tongue,
teeth, lips, nose, throat, lungs, and other structures, all
working together at high speeds to produce words
through the mouth. Allah is far greater than that we can
think.

561
Section 2 of Chapter 55 [Verse 5-9]: Fall not short in the
Balance

The sun and the moon follow courses computed and the herbs
and the trees both bow in adoration.
And the Sky has He raised, and He has set up the balance,
in order that ye may not transgress balance.
So, establish weight with justice and fall not short in the
balance.

Section 3 of Chapter 55 [Verse 10-25]: The Passing Days

It is He Who has spread out the land for creatures. Therein is

fruit, and date-palms producing spathes, also corn with leaves
and stalk for fodder, and sweet-smelling plants. Then which
of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
He created man from splendid sauce (salsalin kal
fakhari).

Remarks:

In the above verse, 'salsalin kal fakhari' is typically

translated as 'sounding clay like unto pottery'. However,
'salsa' actually means 'sauce', and 'fakhari' means 'proud',
'splendid', or similar terms. Therefore, I have translated
'salsalin kal fakhari' as 'splendid sauce'; it can also be
translated as 'proud sauce'.
Why the sauce is splendid / proud?
The basic ingredient in creating a human is amino
acids, which can be likened to sauce. A form of it is
available in the market.

562
 FIGURE 55.1: Amino Acid (‗salsalin kal fakhari‘)

The sauce (amino acid) is described as proud or

splendid because of its remarkable qualities. Each amino
acid consists of a central carbon, which is bonded to an
amine group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), a
hydrogen atom, and an R group. The R group varies,
leading to the production of 20 different types of amino
acids.

FIGURE 55.2: Generic Structure of Amino Acid

The human body is primarily made up of proteins.

There are approximately 20,000 types of proteins in the
563
 body, all of which are made from the 20 types of amino
acids available in a cell. The amino acids are sequenced
according to mRNA as a linear chain, which is then
folded into specific shapes to form a type of protein.
Therefore, the amino acid is a splendid sauce that
comes in 20 types and can combine to form 20,000 types
of proteins. The sauce (amino acid) deserves to be proud
because of its extremely broad spectrum of abilities.

And He created Jinns from the ‗prairie of fire‘ (marijin

min narin). Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye
deny?

Remarks:

In the above verses, 'marijin min narin' is commonly

translated as 'smokeless flame of fire'. However, 'marijin'
actually means 'prairie', 'grassland', or 'lowland'.
Therefore, I have translated 'marijin min narin' as 'prairie
of fire'.
Thus, the jinn are created from something that
originates in the prairie of fire. The land should be filled
with fire, or it could be a place where anything that falls
ignites into flames. What kind of land and what kind of
fire are these?

―… and the jinn race We had created before from

the poisonous fire‖ [Al Quran 15:27]

So, the prairie of fire produces poisonous fire.

All fire burns and destroys; what could poisonous fire
be?
564
 It seems that the verse is referring to antimatter. When
matter and antimatter collide, they annihilate each other,
producing light. Therefore, antimatter is poisonous to
matter.
The jinn exist around us, but we cannot interact with
them directly or through instruments. The characteristics
of the jinn, as described in the Quran and Hadith, suggest
that they may be anti-creatures made of antimatter.
Therefore, in the above verse, 'prairie of fire' should
be interpreted as 'a deposit of antimatter,' such as a
neutron star. When baryonic matter falls onto a neutron
star, it produces fire.
Therefore, the jinn are anti-creatures made of
antimatter.
This universe (Samawaat) is a two-in-one universe:
one part is visible to us, created from baryonic matter,
while the other part is invisible, created from dark matter.
This universe contains about six times more dark matter
than regular matter. Antimatter is a form of dark matter.
This universe is essentially the home of the jinn and
an exile for humans, being the children of Adam and Eve.

Lord of the Two Easts and Lord of the Two Wests. Then
which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?

Remarks:

The Two Easts and Two Wests are often explained as two
extreme points on the eastern and western horizons,
within which the sun rises and sets over the span of a
year.

565
 However, I believe the verse is referring to the major
entities of the Super Sky (Super Space), with the entire
universe located in the Eastern Super Space and the
Jannaat situated in the Western Super Space.
In addition, the Araf is divided into an Eastern Part
and a Western Part. The Eastern Part of the Araf is the
primary abode of the angels associated with the
Samawaat (this universe), while the Western Part of the
Araf is the primary abode of the angels associated with
the Jannaat (another universe). These two parts are
connected by the two main branches of Sidratul-Muntaha.

FIGURE 55.2: Two Easts and Two Wests

Thus, the Two Easts refer to this universe (Samawaat)

and the Eastern Araf, while the Two Wests refer to the
Jannaat and the Western Araf.

He has let free the two bodies of flowing water meeting

together. Between them is a Barrier, which they do not
transgress. Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye
deny?
566
 Out of them come Pearls and Coral. Then which of the
favors of your Lord will ye deny?

Remarks:

The corals are living organisms. When they die, they

leave behind skeletons that form the rock-like structure.
Corals can survive in the warm, saltwater of the oceans.
Oysters and mussels, which produce pearls, also require
warm water. High-latitude regions (between 60 and 90
degrees latitude in the northern and southern
hemispheres) are not suitable for them due to the cold
water. Therefore, the above verses are referring to the
oceans, excluding the high-latitude regions.
Except in high-latitude regions, ocean water is
divided by a barrier known as the Pycnocline. The
Pycnocline is a layer in the ocean, located between 100
and 1,000 meters below the surface. In this layer, water
density increases rapidly with depth due to changes in
temperature and salinity. The layer is extremely stable
and acts as a barrier, preventing the vertical flow of water
and protecting the surface waters (approximately the
upper 100 meters). As a result, changes in salinity and
temperature are minimal below the Pycnocline but are
seasonal in the surface waters.
―Except at high latitudes, the ocean is divided into
three horizontal depth zones based on density: the mixed
layer, Pycnocline layer, and deep layer‖
– NASA, Ocean Motion.

567
 FIGURE 55.3: Layer of the Ocean

The water in the surface layer (Mixed Layer) is mixed

with fresh water from rivers and rainfall, making it less
saline. This less saline water is ideal for the growth of
various types of phytoplankton, which serve as food for
zooplankton, the primary food source for fish.

FIGURE 55.4: Mixed Layer

568
 The Deep Layer is suitable for decomposers, such as
bacteria, protozoa, algae, fungi, etc.
Allah, who is capable of creating a barrier
(Pycnocline) in the water with the water, is able to
maintain both the Universe and the Anti-Universe across
different dimensions of space.
It should also be noted that the polar and sub-polar
regions are not suitable for the production of corals and
pearls. Similarly, the polar and sub-polar regions are not
conducive to the formation of a Pycnocline. In these
regions, the surface water becomes cold and frequently
sinks into the deeper layers, disrupting the Pycnocline.
The Quran is precise and literally true in every verse.

And His are the ships sailing smoothly through the seas,
lofty as mountains. Then which of the favors of your Lord
will ye deny?

Segment-2
Tomorrow

Section 4 of Chapter 55 [Verse 26-30]: The Doomsday

Each from it will perish, but will abide the Face of thy Lord,
full of Majesty, Bounty and Honor. Then which of the favors
of your Lord will ye deny?

Remarks:

The Skies (Samawaat / this Universe) will be rolled up,

ultimately collapsing into a state where matter is
annihilated (Big Crunch). Only the information (photons)
569
 and forces (commands/ruh) wrapped around a point of
extreme gravitational force will survive. The gravitational
force is an extended elementary soul of Allah. The super-
compact universe will become a bright point on His face
of nafs (soul). His face of nafs is formed by the forces,
including gravitational force, radiating through His face
in form. He will then reprogram the universe to revive it
for the next cycle.
When He will release the super-compact universe, it
will return to the right hand of His nafs, attaining mass
(Thaqal), and the resurrection of the dead will occur.
The evolution of the reviving universe will be
temporarily halted for Judgment and Salvation. The
righteous will be taken to another universe called Jannaat,
while the sinners will remain in the galaxies of this
universe (Samawaat), enduring eternal disasters and pain,
as forgotten vicegerents of God.

Of Him seeks every creature in the Skies and Lands;

every day He is on! Then which of the favors of your Lord
will ye deny?

Remarks:

Allah is great, and His creations are countless. Reflect on

the moment when Allah began the creation of this
universe. There were great risks involved. Although
Allah first created a computer and devised a plan as a
virtual universe, the materialization of that plan was
astronomically vast, complex, and risky.
He created the universe and has been running it
successfully for billions of years. He must complete the
570
 cycle, and its completion will make creation cyclic and
everlasting. He is continuously working toward this. If He
can fulfill His plan, He will appear as a fully successful
Creator, Sustainer, Evolver, and Re-Creator.
However, a tiny human, thinking, must have faith in
Him.

Section 5 of Chapter 55 [Verse 31-32]: The Judgment Day

Soon shall We settle your affairs, O both ye Heavy Masses

(Thaqalani)! Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye
deny?

Remarks:

From the Face of God, the universe will be revived to the

state of Thaqal (Heavy Mass), where the Resurrection of
the dead will take place.
During the Final Judgment, two Heavy Masses
(Thaqalani) will exist in the Eastern Super Space. One
(Main Thaqal) will be formed from all the matter of this
universe (Samawaat), excluding the matter of the Solar
System. The other, the Land of Final Judgment, will be
created from the matter of the Solar System.

The Day after Tomorrow

Section 6 of Chapter 55 [Verse 33-45]: Days in the Hell

O ye assembly of Jinns and men! If it be ye can pass beyond

the zones of the Skies and Lands, pass ye! Not without
571
authority shall ye be able to pass! Then which of the favors of
your Lord will ye deny?
On you will be sent a flame of fire and a smoke; no
defense will ye have. Then which of the favors of your Lord
will ye deny?
When the Sky is rent asunder, and it becomes red like
ointment. Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye
deny?
On that Day no question will be asked of man or jinn as
to his sin. Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye
deny?
The sinners will be known by their marks, and they will
be seized by their forelocks and their feet. Then which of the
favors of your Lord will ye deny?
This is the Hell, which the sinners deny.
In its midst and in the midst of boiling hot water will they
wander round! Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye
deny?

Remarks:

After the Judgment, the rewarded individuals will be

transferred to the Jannaat (another universe).
Nobody can pass beyond the zones of the Skies and
Lands (this universe) without authority, as stated in the
verses: ―O ye assembly of Jinns and men! If it be ye can
pass beyond the zones of the Skies and Lands (this
universe), pass ye! Not without authority shall ye be able
to pass!‖
The unbelievers will be scattered across the galaxies
of this universe; "…they will be seized by their forelocks
and their feet." The phrase 'seized by the forelock and
572
 feet' refers to being pulled by the gravitational forces of
their galaxies. Soon, a person will fall into his destined
galaxy. The galaxies of this universe are the objects of
Hell, which the sinners deny.

Section 7 of Chapter 55 [Verse 46-77]: Days in the Jannaat

But for such as fear the Time when they will stand before
their Lord, there will be two Jannaat. Then which of the
favors of your Lord will ye deny?
Containing all kinds. Then which of the favors of your
Lord will ye deny?
In them will be two springs flowing. Then which of the
favors of your Lord will ye deny?
In them will be fruits of every kind, two and two. Then
which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
They will recline on carpets whose inner linings will be
of rich brocade; the fruit of the gardens will be near. Then
which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
In them will be chaste restraining their glances whom no
man or Jinn before them has touched. Then which of the
favors of your Lord will ye deny? Like unto rubies and coral.
Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
Is there any reward for good, other than Good? Then
which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
And besides these two, there are two other Jannaat. Then
which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny? Dark-green in
color. Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
In them will be two springs pouring forth water in
continuous abundance. Then which of the favors of your
Lord will ye deny?

573
 In them will be fruits and dates and pomegranates. Then
which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
In them will be fair (Companions), good, beautiful. Then
which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
Companions restrained in pavilions. Then which of the
favors of your Lord will ye deny?
Whom no man or Jinn before them has touched. Then
which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
Reclining on green cushions and rich carpets of
beauty. Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?

Remarks:

So, fall not short in the Balance on the Day of Judgment.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 56 [Verse 1-6]: Inevitable Event

When the Event inevitable come to pass, then will none

entertain falsehood concerning its coming—it will bring low;
it will exalt.
When the Land shall be shaken to its depths and the
mountains shall be crumbled; crumbling so they become dust
dispersing.

575
Section 2 of Chapter 56 [Verse 7-26]: Foremost among
Three Groups

And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.

Then the companions of the right and; what will be the
companions of the right hand?
And the companions of the left hand; what will be the
Companions of the Left Hand?
And those foremost, will be foremost. These will be those
nearest to God in Jannaati Naim—a number of people from
those of old and a few from those of later times—on thrones
encrusted; reclining on them facing each other. Round about
them will youths perpetual with goblets, beakers, and cups
out of clear-flowing fountains; no after-ache will they receive
there-from, nor will they suffer intoxication; and with fruits,
any that they may select; and the flesh of fowls, any that they
may desire.
And companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes;
like unto pearls well-guarded—a reward for the deeds of their
past.
Neither frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of
ill; only the saying, "Peace! Peace!"

Section 3 of Chapter 56 [Verse 27-40]: Companions of the

Right Hand

The companions of the right hand; what will be the

companions of the right hand?
Among lote-trees, without thorns; among tall trees, with
flowers piled one above another; in shade, long-extended; by
water flowing constantly; and fruit in abundance whose

576
season is not limited, nor forbidden; and on thrones raised
high.
We have created of special creation and made them
virgin, pure, beloved, equal in age for the companions of the
right hand.
A number from those of old, and a number from those of
later times.

Section 4 of Chapter 56 [Verse 41-56]: Companions of the

Left Hand

The companions of the left hand; what will be the

companions of the left hand?
In the midst of a fierce blast of fire, and in boiling water,
and in the shades of black smoke—nothing to refresh, nor to
please. For that they were wont to be indulged before that in
wealth and persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme!
And they used to say, "What! When we die and become
dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again; and
our fathers of old?"
Say: ―Yea, those of old and those of later times; all will
certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a
Day well-known. Then will ye truly, O ye that go wrong and
treat as falsehood, Ye will surely taste of the tree of Zaqqum.
Then will ye fill your insides therewith, and drink boiling
water on top of it. Indeed, ye shall drink like diseased camels
raging with thirst!‖
Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital!

577
Section 5 of Chapter 56 [Verse 57-74]: Witness the Truth

It is We Who have created you; why will ye not witness the

Truth?
Do ye then see what ye throw out (sperm and ovum)? Is it
ye who create it, or are We the creators? We have decreed
death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated
from changing your forms and creating you in that ye know
not. And ye certainly know already the first form of creation;
why then do ye not celebrate His praises?

Remarks:

The Unbelievers will be resurrected in modified forms. A

person destined to live in a galaxy (hell) will be a tough
giant, suitable to live over there.
A human nafs (soul) is a combination of unknown
force fields (ruhs). It preserves the information of
physical development from the state of the zygote to the
state of maturity in a program of creation. After death, an
angel collects the nafs, and it gets fixed in its form. Thus,
on Earth, the body is like a mold, and the soul (nafs) is
like a cast.
An idol worshipper can become possessed by a
satanic jinni during his earthly life. A jinni is created
from antimatter and cannot directly mount a human body,
which is made from baryonic matter. It mounts through
the human‘s nafs. The nafs is the source of a human‘s
emotions and the ultimate receiver of his senses.
Therefore, the mounted jinni can influence his emotions
and enjoy his senses. The jinni enjoys the charms of
human‘s life through the possessed person; even shares
578
his children. As a result, the nafs of the human becomes
deformed. It learns to interact with the jinni possessing
him, though he may not know or feel it. The human‘s
nafs is developed and programmed accordingly; it takes
on a devil-human shape and remains fixed in that state
upon his death. In the Sijjin, the nafs is further enhanced
in its deformed shape.
On the Day of Resurrection, his nafs will be supplied
with a set of his double-helix DNA molecules, collected
from the remains of his earthly body. Then, his body will
be regenerated using matter from the surroundings. He
will not need a mother‘s womb or shaping by Allah
directly; instead, he will develop within the framework of
his deformed nafs (soul). In this process, the nafs will
function like a mold, while the bones and flesh, produced
by the DNA code, will be like the cast.
It should be noted that a zygote cannot form a human
body perfectly in the mother‘s womb. The nafs, given
soon after conception, is raw and cannot assist in this
process. Allah helps shape the human body in the
mother‘s womb. But, at the time of Resurrection, the nafs
will have matured and will assist the DNA in forming the
body according to the program it followed and developed
on the Earth. Moreover, the nafs is essential for instilling
his emotions.
An unbeliever will have a body with a devil-human
shape, standing thousand kilometers tall. He will need
space from Makkah to Madinah just to sit. His tooth will
be as large as the Mount of Uhud. His dormant systems
for interacting with the jinn will mature and develop
further. He will become a multidimensional being, left
within the Samawaat (this universe), which is essentially
579
 created for the jinn. He will be a forgotten vicegerent of
God, overseeing a galaxy in this universe.
We already understand our present form of creation.
All animals, from the amoeba to the giant blue whale, are
created from the same double-helix DNA molecules.
Only the codes differ. Therefore, it will be possible to
create giant multidimensional humans for the galaxies.
Their enhanced nafs will grant them the abilities to
interact with the jinns, who will be living with them in
their galaxies. An unbeliever will have an entire galaxy as
his domain, with no other humans in it.

―Allah created the Skies and Lands (Universe) for

just ends, and in order that each soul may find the
recompense of what it has earned and none of
them be wronged.‖ [Al Quran 54: 22]

―We created not the Skies and Lands and all

between them (Universe) merely in sport. We
created them not except for just ends. But most of
them do not understand. Verily, the day of sorting
out is the time appointed for all of them.‖
[Al Quran 44: 38–39]

See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground? Is it ye that

cause it to grow, or are We the cause? Were it Our will, We
could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in
wonderment, "We are indeed left with debts, indeed are we
shut out"
See ye the water, which ye drink? Do ye bring it down
from the cloud, or do We? Were it Our will, We could make
it salt; then why do ye not give thanks?
580
 See ye the Fire, which ye kindle? Is it ye who grow the
tree, which feeds the fire, or do We grow it? We have made it
a memorial and an article of comfort and convenience for the
denizens of deserts.
Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the
Supreme!

Section 6 of Chapter 56 [Verse 75-87]: The Book of

Warning

Furthermore, I swear by the houses of stars (mawaqi‘i-

nujumi), and that is indeed a mighty adjuration, if you know
great.

Remarks:

The stars are not haphazardly scattered throughout space;

they are grouped into systems called galaxies. Therefore,
in the above verse, a ‗galaxy‘ is referred to as the ‗house
of stars‘ (mawaqi‘i-nujumi).

FIGURE 56.1: A Barred Spiral Galaxy

581
 In the 1920s, American scientist Edwin Hubble
discovered that there are many galaxies in the Universe.
He categorized them into four types: Barred Spiral
Galaxies, Spiral Galaxies, Elliptical Galaxies, and
Irregular Galaxies.

FIGURE 56.2: Types of Galaxies

There are about 170 billion galaxies in the visible

universe. But why are the galaxies mentioned in the
above verse to warn the people?
It is because these are the objects of Hell.
[I have discussed the objects of Hell deliberately in
Section-27 of Chapter-3]

That this is indeed a Most Honorable Qur'an in Book

well-guarded, which none shall touch but those who are
clean—a Revelation from the Lord of the universes. Is it such
a Message that ye would hold in light esteem!

582
 And have you made it your livelihood that you should
declare it false? Then why when the soul at death reaches the
throat, and while you are looking on, and Our angels are
nearer to him than you and yet see not, then why do you not
if you are exempt from account call back the soul, if you are
true?

Section 7 of Chapter 56 [Verse 88-96]: Conclusion

Thus, then if he be of those nearest to God—rest and

satisfaction and a Garden of Delights.
And if he be of the companions of the right hand—peace
be unto thee from the companions of the right hand.
And if he be of those who treat as falsehood, who go
wrong, for him is entertainment with boiling water and
burning in Hell-Fire.
Verily, this is the Very Truth and Certainty. So, celebrate
with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 57 [Verse 1-6]: Presence of Allah as
Hidden and Evident Entity

Whatever is in the Skies and Lands, let it declare the praises

and glory of God for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. To
Him belongs the dominion of the Skies and Lands; it is He
Who gives life and death; and He has power over all things.
He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the
Hidden, and He has full knowledge of all things.

584
Remarks:

Necessary Background Knowledge: Chapter-1 (Tafsir

of Surah Fatihah).

The last paragraph of the above verses is confusing.

'The First and the Last' means 'the Beginning and the
End.' Allah has no beginning and no end. So, how is He
the First and the Last?
A similar verse is also found in the Holy Bible:

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the
Last, the Beginning and the End."
– Revelation 22:13 Holy Bible

The verse in the Holy Bible may escape scrutiny, as the

Bible is very old and has been distorted. But what about
the Quran? Allah cannot be the First and the Last in any
case.
Actually, the verse in the Quran is different from the
one in the Holy Bible. While they may appear similar,
they do not carry the same meaning. The middle part of
the Quranic verse describes Allah as both Evident (Jahir)
and Hidden (Batin). Therefore, the overall verse conveys
a different meaning than the obvious one. This is
discussed further below:
―He is the First and the Last…‖ means that Allah
encompasses the entire creation, from the beginning to
the end (the creation has a beginning and an end, but
Allah does not).
Allah is ―…the Evident and the Hidden…‖ meaning
that He encompasses creation from the deepest to the
585
 highest levels. He is active at the level of fundamental
subatomic particles, where scientists perceive some of
His acts as the acts of Quantum Force Fields. He is also
active at the level of stars, galaxies, and the universe,
with scientists interpreting some of His acts as the acts of
Gravitational Force.
Thus, the last part of the verse ‗…He has full
knowledge of all things‘ is justified.
One may notice that the terms 'Evident (Jahir)'
and 'Hidden (Batin)' do not appear in the verse of the
Holy Bible. Instead, it repeats words of similar meaning
three times: 'Alpha and Omega', 'the First and the Last',
and 'the Beginning and the End.' Therefore, the verse of
the Holy Bible does not convey God's all-embracing
presence in the creation, which would imply the
possession of full knowledge of everything. It is likely
that the verse in the Holy Bible was mistranslated in
ancient times.
[Allah in shape' and 'Allah existing everywhere by
extending several elementary souls (Force Fields / Ruhs)
of His nafs' are discussed in detail in Section-1 of
Chapter-1.]

He it is Who created the Skies and Lands in Six Days and

is moreover firmly established on the Arsh. He knows what
enters within the earth and what comes forth out of it, what
comes down from sky and what mounts up to it. And He is
with you where-so-ever ye may be. And God sees well all
that ye do.
To Him belongs the dominion of the Skies and Lands,
and all affairs are referred back to God.

586
 He merges Night into Day and He merges Day into
Night, and He has full knowledge of the secrets of hearts.

Section 2 of Chapter 57 [Verse 7-21]: Spending in Charity

Believe in God and His apostle and spend out of the

(substance) whereof He has made you heirs; for those of you
who believe and spend, for them is a great Reward.
What cause you have—why you should not believe in
God? And the Apostle invites you to believe in your Lord
and has indeed taken your Covenant, if ye are men of Faith.

Remarks:

The verses were most likely revealed before a war, when

the Prophet (pbuh) needed funds for the expedition. If
Islamic leadership requests money for the cause of Allah,
such as for a military expedition, then donating according
to one's capacity is a duty for a Believer. If someone who
is able to donate chooses not to, they may be perceived as
a Munafiq (hypocrite) and, therefore, an Unbeliever.
This does not relate to day-to-day charity at a
personal level. A Believer remains a Believer even if they
do not spend in charity at a personal level.

He is the One Who sends to His Servant manifest verses

that He may lead you from the depths of darkness into the
light, and verily God is to you Most Kind and Merciful.
And what cause you have, why you should not spend in
the cause of God? For to God belongs the heritage of the
Skies and Lands. Not equal among you are those who spent
and fought before the victory; those are higher in rank than
587
those who spent and fought afterwards. But to all has God
promised a goodly (reward). And God is well acquainted
with all that ye do.
Who is he that will loan to God a beautiful loan; for
(God) will increase it manifold to his credit, and he will have
a liberal reward.
One Day shall thou see the believing men and the
believing women, how their light runs forward before them
and by their right hands: "Good News for you this Day!
Jannaat beneath which flow rivers! To dwell therein for aye!
This is indeed the highest Achievement!"

Remarks:

During the Miraj (Night Journey), the Prophet (pbuh) saw

from an object in the Seventh Sky that two channels were
connecting this universe (Samawaat) with the East Araf.
Gabriel (pbuh) said that one was the Channel of Light and
the other was the Channel of Darkness.
Gabriel (pbuh) said that there was another pair of
channels connecting the West Araf with the Jannaat.
These channels were not visible from the Seventh Sky,
where the Prophet (pbuh) was standing at that time.
The same paths will be used on the Day of Judgment
to guide the believers into the Jannaat (via Araf). The
Channel of Light is not suitable for humans; it is likely
meant for the angels and the ruhs. Humans will travel
through the Channel of Darkness, and therefore, they will
need light.

One Day will the hypocrites, men and women, say to the
Believers: "Wait for us! Let us borrow from your Light!" It
588
will be said: "Turn ye back to your rear, then seek a light!"
So, a wall will be put up between them with a gate therein.
Within it will be mercy throughout, and without it all
alongside will be punishment!
Will call out: "Were we not with you?"
Will reply: "True, but ye led yourselves into temptation,
ye looked forward, ye doubted, and desires deceived you
until there issued the command of God—and the Deceiver
deceived you in respect of God. This Day shall no ransom be
accepted of you, nor of those who rejected God. Your abode
is the fire. That is the proper place to claim you, and an evil
refuge it is!"
Has not the time arrived for the Believers that their hearts
in all humility should engage in the remembrance of God and
of the truth, which has been revealed, and that they should
not become like those to whom was given revelation
aforetime (Jews)—but long ages passed over them, and their
hearts grew hard; for many among them are rebellious
transgressors.
Know ye that God gives life to the earth after its death!
Already have We shown the signs plainly to you that ye may
learn wisdom. For those who give in charity, men and
women, and loan to God a beautiful loan, it shall be increased
manifold and they shall have a liberal reward.
And those who believe in God and His apostles they are
the sincere and the witnesses in the eyes of their Lord; they
shall have their reward and their light. But those who reject
God and deny Our signs, they are the companions of hell-fire.
Know ye that the life of this world is but play and
amusement, pomp and mutual boasting, and multiplying
among yourselves riches and children. Here is a similitude:

589
 How rain and the growths, which it brings forth, delight
the tillers—soon it withers; thou will see it grow yellow, then
it becomes dry and crumbles away.
But in the hereafter is a penalty severe, and forgiveness
from God and good pleasure. And what is the life of this
world but goods and chattels of deception!
Race to forgiveness from your Lord and a Jannaat, the
width whereof is as the width of the Sky and Land, prepared
for those who believe in God and His apostles; that is the
grace of God, which He bestows on whom He pleases, and
God is the Lord of Grace Abounding.

Section-3 of Chapter 57 [Verse 22-25]: End times and the

Need of Charity

No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but is

recorded in a book; We bring it into existence beforehand;
that is truly easy for God—in order that ye may not despair
over matters that pass you by, nor exult over favors bestowed
upon you; for God loves not any vainglorious, boaster; such
persons as are covetous and commend covetousness to men.
And if any turn back, verily God is Free of All Needs,
Worthy of All Praise.

Remarks:

Allah had created a Master Design in His computer

(CCU) before beginning the creation of this universe. The
Master Design was a virtual universe in which we also
existed and experienced virtual lives.

590
 We could be created in the virtual universe from our
genome codes, which were derived sequentially from the
genome codes of our virtual parents.
Our entire lives were represented in the virtual
universe. Later, our fates were extracted from the virtual
universe and written by the Pen in separate files. Now,
the angels monitor the materialization of our fates. Thus,
the above verses say, ―No misfortune can happen on
earth or in your souls but is recorded in a book; We bring
it into existence beforehand…‖
[The fate and its materialization are deliberately
discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6.]
When Muslims are suffering from defeats and
disasters, they should not be disheartened. They should
support each other to endure these hardships. Nothing is
happening that Allah did not already know.

We sent aforetime our apostles with clear signs and sent

down with them the book and the balance that men may stand
forth in justice.

Remarks:

The Jews were given many laws, but ultimately, the

majority felt these laws were a heavy yoke around their
necks. After Solomon's death, they revolted, became
divided, and were scattered across the world.
The Quran prescribes a few laws with punishments,
such as for theft, adultery, fornication, spreading scandal,
and creating disorder in society. These laws, which
include prescribed punishments, can be enacted through
the courts and can be termed as Islamic Laws.
591
 The Quran is a Book of Guidance, not a Book of Law.
The Torah, on the other hand, is a Book of Law, which is
not meant for us to follow.
The Quran addresses many other offenses, for which
punishments would be given in the afterlife. Can the
Highest Islamic Leadership (Caliph) or a team under him
devise earthly punishments for these offenses? I believe it
would be wrong to devise punishments for these offenses,
as Allah has not prescribed. For example, one should not
be punished for breaking the hijab, because the Quran has
not prescribed a punishment for this offense.
Many laws are required to govern a country. God has
not provided all the laws needed to maintain balance in
societies. So, what 'balance' is the verse under discussion
referring to?
I believe it refers to the balance of laws. Humans may
view adultery, fornication, spreading scandal, and similar
actions as petty offenses, or may not consider them
offenses at all. For example, if fornication occurs with the
consent of both the man and woman, it is not considered a
crime in most countries. However, it is a crime in the
sight of God.
Thus, the Quran has prescribed punishments for
certain offenses to maintain balance between divine laws
and manmade laws. The offenses for which the Quran has
prescribed punishments in this earthly life negatively and
gravely affect religion, society, and psychological well-
being of a person.
If the Quran has prescribed a punishment for an
offense, the punishment must be carried out. However, a
judge may choose to forgive, as the Quran allows for the
possibility of forgiveness. The Highest Islamic
592
Leadership or Caliph should monitor whether the
governments are promulgating these laws through the
courts.
The Sultan Caliphs of old required many laws to
govern their empires. They formulated these laws through
their favored religious scholars and promulgated them as
religious laws. Many of these laws are known as Fiqh
(the theory or philosophy of Islamic law, based on the
teachings of the Quran and the traditions of the Prophet).
These scholars derived the laws from their often
erroneous understanding of the Quran, the Hadith, their
personal interpretations, and Ijma (consensus). They also
determined the punishments. However, the Quran has not
prescribed punishments for many of these offenses.
Therefore, the Sultan Caliphs and the Faqihs were
responsible for judging the severity of the offenses and
the punishments they prescribed and promulgated. Allah
is the Most Merciful to His creatures.
In matters related to our day-to-day lives, the Quran
instructs a judge to be just:

―…but say: "I believe in the Book which Allah

has sent down (the Quran), and I am commanded
to judge justly between you…‖ [Al Quran 42:15]

Therefore, laws can be made by Rulers, Lawmakers,

or Faqihs to manage day-to-day affairs harmoniously, but
these should not be termed as Islamic laws, and
punishments should not be given in the name of God.
To conclude, Islam is not meant to govern
governments or courts, nor does it provide a political
program for running a country. Only a few laws are given
593
 with prescribed punishments, which the Rulers under the
highest Islamic leadership (Caliph) should implement.
Furthermore, the highest Islamic leadership is granted
by God; it cannot be established through revolution, as
the Muslim Ummah is vast and divided into races and
sects. We are only to recognize him when he rises and
follow him.

And We sent down iron, in which is mighty war as well

as many benefits for mankind—that God may test, who it is
that will help unseen Him and His apostles; for God is Full of
Strength, Exalted in Might.

Remarks:

There is mighty war in iron. Iron is abundant in nature. It

can be made extra-strong to produce high-velocity guns
with rifled barrels, strong armor, and machines that can
sustain high temperatures and pressures (such as jet
engines). It has brought forth mighty wars and replaced
hand-to-hand combat.
Iron and the related mighty wars have put Muslims to
the test, as stated in the above verses: ―And We sent down
Iron, in which is mighty war as well as many benefits for
mankind—that God may test, who it is that will help
unseen Him and His apostles;‖ Here ―…unseen Him and
His apostles…‖ refers to the period after the departure of
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). These verses became
particularly vivid in the 20th century when Muslims fell
behind in technology and the production of armaments.
However, this Surah is not calling one to fight a
battle. Instead, the Surah is about helping those who fight.
594
 In addition, during times of mighty wars, many would
lose their homes and livelihoods, many would seek
refuge, and many would be affected by diseases. The
verses call on people to help them and earn the light for
the Day of Salvation.
The verses in the above paragraph indicate that the
technology of using iron would develop among the
People of the Book: ―We sent aforetime our apostles with
clear signs and sent down with them the book and the
balance that men may stand forth in justice. And We sent
down iron, in which is mighty war…‖

2. Sending Down of Iron

The verse says that iron is sent down to the Earth. The
Earth has a vast core, which is divided into the inner core
and outer core. The radius of the inner core is 1,220 km,
and it is solid. The outer core is 2,180 km wide, and it is
liquid.
The core is composed of 88.8% iron, 5.8% nickel,
4.5% sulfur, and less than one percent of trace elements.

FIGURE 57.1: Earth‘s Interior

595
 The primitive Earth, which existed during the Big
Bounce, did not have iron (the Big Bounce origin of the
universe in the current cycle is discussed in Section 4 of
Chapter 21). Iron later formed in the cores of some stars
and scattered into space through supernova explosions.

FIGURE 57.2: Artistic View of the Collision

It seems that a huge iron asteroid collided with the

Earth and settled into it. Alternatively, iron might have
been delivered as small meteorites. About 4.6 billion
years ago, the Earth melted due to the fall of short-lived
radioactive elements. The molten Earth then formed core,
mantle, primitive crust, and atmosphere.

Section-4 of Chapter 57 [Verse 26-29]: Double Mercy to

Muslims

And We sent Noah and Abraham, and established in their

line Prophet-hood and Revelation. And some of them were

596
on right guidance, but many of them became rebellious
transgressors.
Then in their wake, We followed them up with Our
apostles. We sent after them Jesus, the son of Mary, and
bestowed on him the Gospel, and We ordained in the hearts
of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But the
Monasticism they invented, We did not prescribed it for them
only to please Allah therewith! But they did not observe it
with the right observance. Yet We bestowed on those among
them who believed their reward, but many of them are
rebellious transgressors.
O ye that believe (Muslims), guard for the sake of God
and believe in His Apostle (Muhammad, pbuh), and He will
bestow on you a double portion of His mercy. He will
provide for you a Light by which you shall walk, and He will
forgive you; for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
That the People of the Book may know that they have no
power whatever over the grace of God; that grace is in His
Hand to bestow it on whomsoever He wills; for God is the
Lord of Grace Abounding.

Remarks:

There is a sequence in the above verses. After discussing

iron, the Surah moves on to talk about Noah. Noah and a
few of his believing followers were the ancestors of
modern Europeans and Russians. (Noah and a few of his
followers survived on the ark and spread into Europe and
Russia. Only a part of Noah‘s family moved into the
Middle East. This is deliberately discussed in Section-10
of Chapter-7).

Finally, the Surah informs that Muslims will have
double portion of His mercy: O ye that believe! Fear God
and believe in His Apostle, and He will bestow on you a
double portion of His mercy. It indicates that after the
Christian supremacy of the 20th century, Muslims will
rise.

Chapter 58 [Al Mujadilah THE WOMAN WHO
PLEADS]

Introduction

The Surah primarily discusses Zihar (an old form of divorce),

secret talk, and conduct.

Section 3 [Verse 11-13]: Meeting Prophet (pbuh)
Section 4 [Verse 14-19]: Party of Satan
Section 5 [Verse 20-22]: Party of God

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 58 [Verse1-4]: Divorcing Wife by
Calling her Mother

God has indeed heard the statement of the woman who pleads
with thee concerning her husband and carries her complaint
to God, and God hears the arguments between both sides
among you; for God hears and sees.
If any men among you divorce their wives by Zihar (by
calling them mothers)—they cannot be their mothers, none
can be their mothers except those who gave them birth, and
in fact they use words iniquitous and false, but truly God is
one that blots out and forgives.

599
 But those who divorce their wives by Zihar then wish to
go back on the words they uttered should free a slave before
they touch each other. This are you admonished to perform;
and God is well acquainted with that ye do.
And if any has not, he should fast for two months
consecutively before they touch each other. But if any is
unable to do so, he should feed sixty indigent ones.
This, that ye may show your faith in God and His
Apostle.
Those are limits of God. For those who reject, there is a
grievous penalty.

Section 2 of Chapter 58 [Verse 5-10]: Secret Talk

Those who resist God and His Apostle will be humbled to

dust as were those before them; for We have already sent
down clear verses.
And the Unbelievers, a humiliating Penalty on the Day
that God will raise them all up and show them the Truth of
their conduct; God has reckoned it, though they may have
forgotten it; for God is Witness to all things.
See thou not that God does know that is in the Skies and
on Lands? There is not a secret consultation between three
but He makes the fourth among them, nor between five but
He makes the sixth, nor between fewer nor more but He is
with them, where-so-ever they be. In the end will He tell
them the truth of their conduct on the Day of Judgment; for
God has full knowledge of all things.
Have you not considered those who were forbidden from
private conversation: Then they return to that which they
were forbidden and converse among themselves about sin
and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger? And
600
when they come to you, they greet you with that by which
Allah does not greet you and say among themselves, "Why
does Allah not punish us for what we say?" Sufficient for
them is hell, which they will burn, and wretched is the
destination.
O ye who believe! When ye hold secret counsel, do it not
for iniquity and hostility and disobedience to the Prophet, but
do it for righteousness and guarding; and guard for the sake
of God, to Whom ye shall be brought back.
Secret counsels are only by the Satan, in order that he
may cause grief to the Believers; but he cannot harm them in
the least, except as God permits; and on God let the Believers
put their trust.

Section 3 of Chapter 58 [Verse 11-13]: Meeting Prophet

(pbuh)

O ye who believe! When ye are told to make room in the

assemblies, make room, room will God provide for you. And
when ye are told to rise up, rise up, God will raise up to ranks
those of you who believe and who have been granted
Knowledge; and God is well acquainted with all ye do.
O ye who believe! When ye consult the Apostle in
private, spend something in charity, before your private
consultation. That will be best for you and most conducive to
purity. But if ye find not, God is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.
Is it that ye are afraid of spending sums in charity before
your private consultation? If then ye do not so, and God
forgives you, then establish salat, practise regular charity, and
obey God and His Apostle. And God is well acquainted with
all that ye do.
601
Section 4 of Chapter 58 [Verse 14-19]: Party of Satan

Turn thou not thy attention to those who turn to such as have
the wrath of God upon them? They are neither of you, nor of
them; and they swear to falsehood knowingly. God has
prepared for them a severe penalty; evil indeed are their
deeds.
They have made their oaths a screen, thus they obstruct
from the Path of God; therefore, they shall have a humiliating
penalty.
Of no profit whatever to them will be against God their
riches, nor their sons; they will be companions of the Fire to
dwell therein! One day will God raise them all up; then will
they swear to Him as they swear to you. And they think that
they have something. No, indeed they are but liars!
Satan has got the better of them, so he has made them
lose the remembrance of God. They are Party of Satan. Truly,
it is the Party of Satan that will perish!

Section 5 of Chapter 58 [Verse 20-22]: Party of God

Those who resist God and His Apostle will be among those
most humiliated. God has decreed: "It is I and My apostles
who must prevail"; for God is One, Full of Strength, Able to
Enforce His Will.
Thou will not find any people who believe in God and the
Last Day loving those who resist God and His Apostle, even
602
though they were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers,
or their kindred. For such He has written Faith in their hearts
and strengthened them with a soul (ruh) from Himself. And
He will admit them to Jannaat, beneath which rivers flow, to
dwell therein. God will be well pleased with them and they
with Him. They are the Party of God. Truly, it is the Party of
God that will achieve Felicity.

The Surah talks about the eviction of Banu Nadir and related
affairs.

Section 1 [Verse 1-17]: Banishment of Jews

Section 2 [Verse 18-21]: Guard for the sake of God
Section 3 [Verse 22-24]: Conclusion

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 59 [Verse1-17]: Banishment of Jews

Whatever is in the Skies and Lands let it declare the praises

and glory of God; for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. It
is He Who got out the Unbelievers among the People of the
Book from their homes at the first gathering.
Little did ye think that they would get out, and they
thought that their fortresses would defend them from God!
But God came to them from quarters, from which they little
expected, and cast terror into their hearts so that they
destroyed their dwellings by their own hands and the hands
of the Believers. Take warning then, O ye, with eyes!
And had it not been that God had decreed banishment for
them, He would certainly have punished them in this world;
and in the hereafter they shall have the punishment of the

604
fire. That is because they resisted God and His Apostle; and
if any one resists God, verily, God is Severe in Punishment.

Remarks:

Many nations, such as the 'Ad, Thamud, and Midianites,

were destroyed because they refused to obey the
Messenger of God. However, the Jews of Madinah only
suffered eviction (except for the Tribe of Qurayza). It is
likely that they received a lesser punishment because they
were People of the Book.

Whether ye cut down the tender palm-trees or ye left

them standing on their roots, it was by leave of God and in
order that He might cover with shame the rebellious
transgressors.
What God has bestowed on His Apostle from them, for
this ye made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry,
but God gives power to His apostles over any He pleases; and
God has power over all things.
What God has bestowed on His Apostle from the people
of the townships belongs to God, to His Apostle, and to
kindred and orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer in order
that it may not make a circuit between the wealthy among
you. So, take what the Apostle assigns to you, and deny
yourselves that which he withholds from you, and guard for
the sake of God; for God is Strict in Punishment.
To the indigent Muhajirs, those who were expelled from
their homes and their property while seeking grace from God
and good pleasure and aiding God and His Apostle, such are
indeed the sincere ones; and those who before them had
homes and had adopted the Faith (Muslims of Medina) show
605
their affection to such as came to them for refuge and
entertain no desire in their hearts for things given to the
(latter) but give them preference over themselves even
though poverty was their (own lot), and those saved from the
covetousness of their own souls, they are the ones that
achieve prosperity.
And those who came after them say: ―Our Lord! Forgive
us and our brethren who came before us into the Faith and
leave not in our hearts rancor against those who have
believed. Our Lord! Thou are indeed Full of Kindness, Most
Merciful.‖
Have thou not observed the Hypocrites say to their
misbelieving brethren among the People of the Book, "If ye
are expelled, we too will go out with you, and we will never
hearken to any one in your affair; and if you are attacked we
will help you". But God is witness that they are indeed liars.
If they are expelled, never will they go out with them; and if
they are attacked, they will never help them; and if they do
help them, they will turn their backs, so they will receive no
help.
Of a truth, you are stronger because of the terror in their
hearts by God. This is because they are men devoid of
understanding. They will not fight you together, except in
fortified townships, or from behind walls. Strong is their
fighting among themselves; thou would think they were
united, but their hearts are divided; that is because they are a
people devoid of wisdom.
Like those who lately preceded them; they have tasted the
evil result of their conduct, and for them a grievous penalty.
Like the satan, when he says to man, "Deny God". But
when denies God, says, "I am free of thee; I do fear God, the
Lord of the universes!"
606
 The end of both will be that they will go into the fire,
dwelling therein forever. Such is the reward of the
wrongdoers.

Remarks:

It is found in an old account that the Jews of Madinah

arrived during the time of Moses. Moses dispatched an
army to expel the Amalekites from the land of Yathrib
and commanded that not a single soul from the tribe be
spared. The Israelite army carried out the command but
spared the life of an Amalekite prince and returned. By
that time, Prophet Moses had departed. His successors
took the sparing of the Amalekite prince seriously, as it
was a clear violation of the Prophet's order.
Consequently, they excluded the army from their
community, and the soldiers were forced to return to
Yathrib and settle there permanently (Ref. Kitab al-
Aghani, vol. XIX, p. 94).
Part of the above story, related to the 'Prince of the
Amalekites,' seems unlikely. A nation would not expel its
army for such a trivial reason. It is more probable that,
after clearing Madinah, they went back to bring their
families and then returned to settle permanently. It is
most likely that Moses instructed them to do so.
The Jews of Madinah knew that the Last Prophet
(pbuh) would come to Madinah. But how did they know
this? The information is not available in the Holy Bible. It
is likely that Moses knew it from God and informed it to
the people he settled in Madinah.

607
 It is likely that Moses wanted his people to receive the
Last Prophet (pbuh) and assist him. However, the Last
Prophet (pbuh) came nearly two thousand years later,
when the Jews were no longer in the same spirit. Most of
them did not accept Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and
once again thwarted the plan of Moses.
However, if Moses sent a group of his people to
Madinah, it was not without the order of Allah. Allah
knows the past and the future. The Jews were needed in
Madinah. Otherwise, the Quran could not cover the
instructions related to the People of the Book in practical
scenario—the verses of the Quran were revealed in
context of the current events.
The Quran needed to establish a clear perspective on
Jews and Christians in order to solidify the Muslims as an
'Ummah' in the Religion of Abraham.
Most of the Jews of Madinah did not accept the Last
Prophet (pbuh). However, the Arabs of Madinah were
receptive. They had learned about the Last Prophet
(pbuh) and the Abrahamic religion from the local Jews.
They provided shelter to the Prophet (pbuh) and became
the nucleus of the rising Ummah.
The Arab tribes, Aus and Khazraj, arrived in Madinah
from the south much later than the Jews.
At the time of the Prophet (pbuh), the Jews had
prosperous settlements in Madinah. They owned several
fortresses, date gardens, and businesses. There were three
Jewish tribes: Banu Kainuka, Banu Qurayza, and Banu
Nadir.

608
 For decades, the people of Madinah had been fighting
each other. They were divided into two groups:
 One group consisted of: Banu Aus (Arab), Banu
Nadir (Jew), and Banu Qurayza (Jew).
 The other group consisted of: Banu Khazraj
(Arab) and Banu Kainuka (Jew)
After the Prophet (pbuh) arrived in Madinah, the
Arabs gradually embraced Islam, and their enmity ended.
However, the majority of the Jews rejected him, and as a
result, they could not remain in the headquarters of Islam
(Madinah).
Jews are known for their intelligence and influence. If
they had remained in Madinah, Islam could have faced
challenges in its early development. The Prophet (pbuh)
did not want to leave his community at risk. He gave
clear instructions that the Arabian Peninsula must be
cleared of people from other religions. Even Angel
Gabriel did not rest until Madinah was cleared.
God annihilated many nations that rejected His
Messengers, but He showed mercy to the Jews, punishing
them primarily with eviction. However, many among
them died in the course of fighting against the Prophet
(pbuh), and many were executed.

Banu Kainuka

After the Battle of Badr, the Prophet (pbuh) formally

called all of Banu Kainuka to accept Islam, but they
refused and began ridiculing the Muslims. A Muslim girl
was insulted by a Jew in the market. As a result, a
Muslim killed the Jew, and the Jews retaliated by killing
the Muslim.
609
 Immediately, the Muslims besieged the Banu Kainuka
stronghold. After a siege of fifteen days, they
surrendered. They were evicted with whatever they could
carry and emigrated to the north.
The people of Banu Kainuka had no landed property;
they were a business community living in the market of
Madinah.

Banu Nadir

Banu Nadir established ties with the Hypocrites of

Madinah. About 300 Hypocrites, led by Ibn Salul, left the
Muslim forces immediately before the Battle of Uhud.
Ibn Salul wanted to fight from within the city of
Madinah, but the Prophet (pbuh) did not agree. Their
fellow Jews came, but they did not participate in the
battle.
Banu Nadir was besieged several months after the
Battle of Uhud. They surrendered after twenty days, and
the Hypocrites did not come to their aid.
Banu Nadir had landed estates and fortresses, which
they left behind. They were allowed to take their movable
goods and emigrated to the north, settling in Khaibar and
Syria.

Banu Qurayza

Banu Qurayza was destroyed after the Battle of Khandak.

The evicted Jews of Banu Nadir incited the Arab
tribes against the Muslims. They mobilized a large force
to attack Madinah. The Prophet (pbuh) learned of this

610
preparation and ordered the digging of a long trench to
defend the city.
The people of Banu Qurayza were living within the
defended area. They conspired with the evicted Jews to
attack the Muslims from within. However, their plan
failed due to poor coordination during the siege.
An enemy force of ten thousand men came, but they
could not cross the ditch. After 27 days, the siege ended
due to a storm.
Following the Battle of Khandak, the Muslims
besieged the fortress of Banu Qurayza. They surrendered
after 25 days, with the condition that their case would be
judged by Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, the chief of Banu Aus.
Sa‘d condemned the men to death and women and
children to slavery according to Jewish Book of Law.
Five to Eight hundred Jews were killed.

Arabian Peninsula

Subsequently, the Jews were evicted from Khaibar.

However, they were only evicted from the Arabian
Peninsula. When Hazrat Umar captured Jerusalem, the
Jews were given full security. Hazrat Umar also settled
many of the evicted Jews in his newly founded city of
Kufa.
Beyond the Arabian Peninsula, they remained in
peace and security throughout the Muslim world.
According to religious instructions, they are supposed to
live in the area between the Nile and the Euphrates,
except in the Arabian Peninsula, without establishing a
state or government.

611
 Note:

Some Arabs consider Syria, Palestine, Jordan,

Lebanon, and Iraq as parts of the Arabian Peninsula,
but only the area south of the line joining the northern
tip of the Red Sea and the northern tip of the Persian
Gulf should be considered as part of the Arabian
Peninsula.

Section 2 of Chapter 59 [Verse 18-21]: Guard for the sake

of God

O ye who believe! Guard for the sake of God and let every
soul look to what He has sent forth for the morrow. Yea,
guard for the sake of God; for God is well acquainted with
that ye do.
And be ye not like those who forgot God, and He made
them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious
transgressors!
Not equal are the Companions of the Fire and the
Companions of the Jannaat; it is the Companions of the
Jannah that will achieve Felicity.
Had We sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, verily,
thou would have seen it humble itself and cleave asunder for
fear of God. Such are the similitude, which We propound to
men that they may reflect.

Section 3 of Chapter 59 [Verse 22-24]: Conclusion

God is He, than Whom there is no other god, Who knows

both secret and open; He is Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

612
 God is He, than Whom there is no other god, the
Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace, the Guardian
of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the
Irresistible, the Supreme; Glory to God above the partners
they attribute to Him!
He is God, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of
forms. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names; whatever
is in the Skies and Lands does declare His Praises and Glory;
and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

Section 1 of Chapter 60 [Verse1-7]: Friends and Allies

O ye who believe! Take not My enemies and yours as Awliya

(guiding, protecting, and helping friends) offering them love
even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to
you and have driven out the Prophet and yourselves, because
ye believe in God your Lord!
If ye have come out to strive in My way and to seek My
good pleasure holding secret converse of love with them—
but I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal.

614
And any of you that do this has strayed from the Straight
Path.

Remarks:

Do not take the enemies of God and the enemies of

Muslims as Awliya (guiding, protecting, and helping
friends). Erase any affection for them through mental
suggestions, recalling the atrocities they caused to
Muslims. Allah knows what is concealed in the hearts.

If they were to get the better of you, they would behave to

you as enemies and stretch forth their hands and their tongues
against you for evil, and they desire that ye should reject the
Truth.
Of no profit to you will be your relatives and your
children on the Day of Judgment—He will judge between
you; for God sees well all that ye do.
There is for you an excellent example in Abraham and
those with him, when they said to their people, "We are clear
of you and of whatever you worship besides God; we have
rejected you and there has arisen between us and you enmity
and hatred forever, unless you believe in God and Him
alone." But not when Abraham said to his father, "I will pray
for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power aught on thy
behalf from God. Our Lord, in Thee do we trust, and to Thee
do we turn in repentance; to Thee is Final Goal. Our Lord!
Make us not a trial for the Unbelievers but forgive us our
Lord; for Thou are the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
There was indeed in them an excellent example for you to
follow; for those whose hope is in God and in the Last Day.

615
But if any turn away, truly God is Free of All Wants, Worthy
of All Praise.
It may be that God will grant love between you and those
whom ye hold as enemies; for God has power, and God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Section 2 of Chapter 60 [Verse 8-9]: Dealing Kindly and

Justly is Not Forbidden to those who Fight Not

God forbids you not with regard to those who fight you not in
the religion, nor drive you out of your homes, that you deal
kindly and justly with them. Indeed, God loves those who are
just.
God only forbids you with regard to those who fight
you in the religion and drive you out of your homes and
support in your expulsion that you make them allies. And
whoever makes them allies then those are the wrongdoers.

Section 3 of Chapter 60 [Verse 10-11]: Women‘s Asylum

O ye who believe! When there come to you believing women

refugees, examine them; God knows best as to their Faith. If
you ascertain that they are Believers, then send them not back
to the Unbelievers. They are not lawful for the Unbelievers,
nor are lawful for them. But pay the Unbelievers what they
have spent, and there will be no blame on you if you marry
them on payment of their dower to them. But hold not to the
guardianship of unbelieving women; ask for what ye have
spent on their dowers, and let it ask for what they have spent.
Such is the command of God; He judges between you; and
God is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom.

616
 And if any of your wives deserts you to the Unbelievers
and ye have an accession, then pay to those whose wives
have deserted the equivalent of what they had spent. And
guard or the sake of God, in Whom ye believe.

Section 4 of Chapter 60 [Verse 12]: Woman‘s Oath of

Fealty

O Prophet! When believing women come to thee to take the

oath of fealty to thee that they will not associate in worship
any other thing whatever with God, that they will not steal,
that they will not commit adultery, that they will not kill their
children, that they will not utter slander intentionally forging
falsehood, and that they will not disobey thee in any just
matter, then do thou receive their fealty and pray to God for
the forgiveness; for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Section 5 of Chapter 60 [Verse 13]: Conclusion

O ye who believe! Turn not to people on whom is the wrath

of God; of the hereafter, they are already in despair, just as
the Unbelievers are in despair about those in graves.

Whatever is in the Skies and Lands let it declare the praises

and glory of God; for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
O ye who believe! Why say ye that which ye do not?
Grievously odious is it in the sight of God that ye say that
which ye do not.
Truly, God loves those who fight in His cause in battle
array as if they were a solid cemented structure.

Section 2 of Chapter 61 [Verse 5-6]: True Prophet, Ahmad

And remember, Moses said to his people, "O my people, why

do ye vex and insult me though ye know that I am the
Apostle of God to you!" Then when they went wrong, God

618
let their hearts go wrong; for God guides not those who are
rebellious transgressors.
And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O Children
of Israel! I am the Apostle of God to you confirming the Law
before me and giving glad tidings of an apostle to come after
me, whose name shall be Ahmad."
But when he came to them with clear signs, they said,
"This is evident sorcery!"

Section 3 of Chapter 61 [Verse 7-9]: God will complete His

Light

Who does greater wrong than one who invents falsehood

against God even as he is being invited to Islam; and God
guides not those who do wrong.
Their intention is to extinguish God's Light with their
mouths, but God will complete His light, even though the
Unbelievers may detest.
It is He Who has sent His Apostle with Guidance and the
Religion of Truth that he may proclaim it over all religion,
even though the Pagans may detest.

Section 4 of Chapter 61 [Verse 10-14]: Fight for the Cause

of God

O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save

you from a grievous penalty? That you believe in God and
His Apostle and that you strive in the cause of God with your
property and your persons—that will be best for you, if ye
but knew! He will forgive you your sins and admit you to
Jannaat, beneath which rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions
in Jannaati-Adan; that is indeed the Supreme Achievement.
619
 And another, which ye do love: help from God and a
speedy victory. So, give the glad tidings to the Believers.
O ye who believe, be ye helpers of God! As said Jesus,
the son of Mary, to the disciples, "Who will be my helpers to
God?" Said the disciples, "We are God's helpers!" Then a
portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion
disbelieved. But We gave power to those who believed
against their enemies, and they became the ones that
prevailed.

God

Whatever is in the Skies and Lands does declare the praises

and glory of God, the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Exalted
in Might, the Wise.

Section 2 of Chapter 62 [Verse 2-4]: A Prophet among

Unlettered People

It is He Who has sent among the unlettered an apostle from

among themselves to rehearse to them His verses to sanctify
them and to instruct them in scripture and wisdom, although
621
they had been before in manifest error as well as others of
them who have not already joined them; and He is exalted in
Might, Wise.
Such is the bounty of God, which He bestows on whom
He will; and God is the Lord of the Highest Bounty.

Section 3 of Chapter 62 [Verse 5]: Donkeys carrying the

Loads of Books

The similitude of those who were charged with the Mosaic

Law but who subsequently failed in those is that of a donkey
which carries huge tomes. Evil is the similitude of people
who falsify the verses of God; and God guides not people
who do wrong.

Section 4 of Chapter 62 [Verse 6-8]: Only Friends of God!

Say: "O ye that stand on Judaism! If ye think that ye are

friends to God to the exclusion of men, then express your
desire for death if ye are truthful!"
But never will they express their desire because of
those their hands have sent on before them! And God knows
well those that do wrong!
Say: "The death from which ye flee will truly
overtake you. Then you will be sent back to the Knower of
Things Secret and Open, and He will tell you the things that
ye did!"

622
Section 5 of Chapter 62 [Verse 9-11]: O Unlettered People!

O ye who Believe! When the call to salat is proclaimed on

Friday, hasten earnestly to the remembrance of God and
leave off business; that is best for you if ye but knew!
And when the salat is finished, then ye may disperse
through the land and seek of the bounty of God; and celebrate
the praises of God often that ye may prosper.
But when they see some bargain or some amusement,
they disperse headlong to it, and leave thee standing. Say:
"The (blessing) from the presence of God is better than any
amusement or bargain! And God is the Best to provide."

Remarks:

A trade caravan entered Madinah during the Friday

Prayer. Hearing its din and drum, everyone except for 12
people left the mosque and rushed to the caravan, even
though the Prophet (pbuh) was delivering the sermon at
that time.
On this occasion, the Jews are remembered; they
would not do it, because they are educated, thoughtful,
and cultured people.
But the people (Jews) who do not follow the
teachings are like donkeys carrying books. The unlettered
people (Arabs) who follow the orders are better than
them.
So, O unlettered people! Do not leave the mosque
until the sermon is finished.

by driving them out of the city.

Section 1 of Chapter 63 [Verse 1-8]: Hypocrites and their
Behavior

When the Hypocrites come to thee, they say, "We bear

witness that thou are indeed the Apostle of God." Yea, God
knows that thou are indeed His Apostle, and God bears
witness that the Hypocrites are indeed liars.
They have made their oaths a screen, thus they obstruct
from the Path of God; truly evil are their deeds. That is
because, they believed, then they rejected Faith, so a seal was
set on their hearts; therefore, they understand not.
When thou look at them their exteriors please thee; and
when they speak, thou listen to their words—they are as
pieces of timber propped up. They think that every cry is
against them. They are the enemies, so beware of them. The
curse of God be on them! How are they deluded!
624
 And when it is said to them, "Come, the Apostle of God
will pray for your forgiveness", they turn aside their heads,
and thou would see them turning away their faces in
arrogance. It is equal to them whether thou pray for their
forgiveness or not. God will not forgive them. Truly, God
guides not rebellious transgressors.
They are the ones who say, "Spend nothing on those who
are with God's apostle to the end that they may disperse." But
to God belong the treasures of the Skies and Lands, but the
Hypocrites understand not.
They say, "If we return to Madinah, surely the more
honorable will expel there-from the meaner." But honor
belongs to God and His apostle, and to the Believers; but the
Hypocrites know not.

Remarks:

On the way back from the Battle of Banu al-Mustaliq, the

Muslims were resting at a halt near the well of Al-Muraisi
when a small incident between two individuals escalated
into a major quarrel. Different groups took sides. The
Prophet (pbuh) mediated upon hearing of it, but some
were not fully appeased.
Later, Abdullah bin Ubayy (Ibn Salul), a chief of the
Khazraj tribe, often pointed out as a hypocrite, told some
people, 'If we return to Madinah, surely the more
honorable will expel the meaner.' The Prophet (pbuh)
heard this and summoned Abdullah bin Ubayy, but he
denied having said such words.
Later Hadrat Umar came to Prophet (pbuh) and said,
‗Please allow me to put this hypocrite to the sword. Or, if
you do not think it fit to give me the permission, you may
625
tell Muadh bin Jabal, or Abbad bin Bishr, or Sad bin
Mu'adh, or Muhammad bin Maslamah from among the
Ansar to go and kill him.‘
But the Prophet (pbuh) said, 'No; in that case, people
will say that Muhammad kills his own companions.‘
The Prophet (pbuh) ordered the people to set off
immediately, even though it was a time when he was not
accustomed to traveling. The forced march continued for
30 hours without rest. The people became so exhausted
that as soon as they touched the ground, they fell asleep.
The measure worked well to restore discipline,
comradeship, and a sense of fellowship among the men.
The Ansar were enraged; they advised Abdullah bin
Ubayy to go to the Prophet (pbuh) and ask for
forgiveness, but he refused. This is mentioned in the
above verses, ―And when it is said to them, "Come, the
Apostle of God will pray for your forgiveness", they turn
aside their heads, and thou would see them turning away
their faces in arrogance.‖
When the caravan was about to enter Madinah,
Abdullah, the son of Abdullah bin Ubayy, stood before
his father with a drawn sword and said, 'You said that
when you would reach Madinah, the honorable ones
would drive out the mean ones. Now, you will see who is
honorable— you or Allah and His Messenger. By God,
you cannot enter Madinah until the Messenger of Allah
(pbuh) permits you to enter.' At this, Ibn Ubayy cried out,
'O people of Khazraj, look, my own son is preventing me
from entering Madinah.' The people conveyed this news
to the Prophet (pbuh), and he said, 'Tell Abdullah to let
his father come home.' Abdullah then allowed his father
to enter.

Section 2 of Chapter 63 [Verse 9-11]: Instructions to
Believers

O ye who believe! Let not your riches or your children divert

you from the remembrance of God. If any act thus, the loss is
their own.
And spend something out of the substance, which We
have bestowed on you, before death should come to any of
you and he should say, "O my Lord! Why did Thou not give
me respite for a little while? I should then have given in
charity, and I should have been one of the Doers of Good."
But to no soul will God grant respite when the time
appointed has come; and God is well acquainted with that
you do.

belongs praise; and He has power over all things.
It is He Who has created you, and of you are some that
are Unbelievers and some that are Believers; and God sees
well all that you do.
He has created the Skies and Lands in just proportions,
and has given you shape, and made your shapes beautiful;
and to Him is the final goal.
628
 He knows what is in the Skies and Lands, and He knows
what ye conceal and what ye reveal; yea, God knows well the
hearts.

Section 2 of Chapter 64 [Verse 5-6]: God is free of all

Needs

Has not the story reached you of those who rejected Faith
aforetime? So, they tasted the evil result of their conduct, and
they had a grievous Penalty. That was because there came to
them apostles with clear signs, but they said: "Shall human
beings direct us?" So, they rejected and turned away. But
God can do without; and God is Free of all Needs, Worthy of
All Praise.

Section 3 of Chapter 64 [Verse 7-10]: Believe in God,

Apostle and the Quran

The Unbelievers think that they will not be raised up. Say:
"Yea, by my Lord, ye shall surely be raised up; then shall ye
be told of all that ye did; and that is easy for God."
Believe, therefore, in God and His apostle, and in the
light, which we have sent down; and God is well acquainted
with all that ye do.
The Day, that He assembles you for a Day of Assembly
that will be a Day of mutual loss and gain. And those who
believe in God and work righteousness, He will remove from
them their ill, and He will admit them to Jannaat, beneath
which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever; that will be the
supreme achievement. But those who reject Faith and treat
Our signs as falsehoods, they will be companions of the fire
to dwell therein for aye, and evil is that goal.

the Leave of God

No kind of disaster strikes except by permission of Allah; and

whoever believes in Allah, He will guide his heart; and Allah

So, obey God and obey His apostle. But if ye turn back,
the duty of Our apostle is but to proclaim clearly and openly.
God! There is no god but He! And on God therefore let
the Believers put their trust.

Section 5 of Chapter 64 [Verse 14-18]: Children and

Wealth are Trials

O ye who believe! Truly, among your wives and your

children are enemies to yourselves, so beware of them! But if
ye forgive and overlook and cover up, verily God is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful. Your riches and your children may
be but a trial, but in the presence of God is the highest
reward.
So, guard for the sake of God as much as ye can, listen
and obey, and spend in charity for the benefit of your own
souls. And those saved from the covetousness of their own
souls, they are the ones that achieve prosperity.
If you loan to God, a beautiful loan, He will double it to
your, and He will grant you forgiveness; for God is Most
Ready to Appreciate, Most Forbearing, Knower of what is
Open, Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 65 [Verse 1-7]: Rules of Divorce

O Prophet! When you do divorce women, divorce them at

their prescribed periods, and count their prescribed periods.
And guard against God your Lord and turn them not out of
their houses, nor shall they leave except in case they are
guilty of some open lewdness. Those are limits set by God,
and any who transgresses the limits of God does verily wrong
his soul; thou know not if perchance God will bring about
thereafter some new situation.
Thus, when they fulfill their term appointed, either take
them back on equitable terms, or part with them on equitable
terms; and take for witness two persons from among you,
endued with justice, and establish the evidence before God.
Such is the admonition given to him who believes in God and
the Last Day. And for those who guard for the sake of God,
631
He prepares a way out. And He provides for him from
(sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his
trust in God, sufficient is for him; for God will surely
accomplish his purpose, verily for all things has God
appointed a due proportion.
Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly
courses, for them the prescribed period, if you have any
doubts, is three months; and for those who have no courses,
for those who carry, their period is until they deliver their
burdens; and for those who guard for the sake of God, He
will make their path easy.
That is the Command of God, which He has sent down to
you, and if any one guard for the sake of God, He will
remove his ills from him and will enlarge his reward.
Let the women live (in 'iddat) in the same style, as ye live
according to your means. Annoy them not so as to restrict
them. And if they carry, then spend on them until they deliver
their burden; and if they suckle your (offspring), give them
their recompense, and take mutual counsel together according
to what is just and reasonable. And if you find yourselves in
difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on the
(father's) behalf.
Let the man of means spend according to his means, and
the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend
according to what God has given him. God puts no burden on
any person beyond what He has given him. After a difficulty,
God will soon grant relief.

Section 2 of Chapter 65 [Verse 8-11]: Follow the Rulings,
or Punishment to Follow

How many populations that insolently opposed the command

of their Lord and of His apostles—did We not then call to
account to severe account? And We imposed on them an
exemplary punishment, then did they taste the evil result of
their conduct, and the end of their conduct was perdition;
God has prepared for them a severe punishment.
Therefore, fear God, O ye men of understanding who
have believed; for God has indeed sent down to you a
Message. An apostle who rehearses to you the verses of God
containing clear explanations that he may lead forth those
who believe and do righteous deeds from the depths of
darkness into light. And those who believe in God and work
righteousness, He will admit to Jannaat, beneath which rivers
flow, to dwell therein forever. God has indeed granted for
them a most excellent provision.

Remarks:

Families are the basic units of society, and societies form

a nation. Therefore, the formation and preservation of
families are crucial for the well-being of a nation.
Most religions do not have clear rules for divorce and
do not define the rights of husbands and wives toward
each other, which can discourage some people from
marrying. Once a woman is separated, she cannot marry
another, making her vulnerable to Satan.
Islam provides rules for marriage and divorce and
clearly defines the rights of each spouse toward the other,
which must be strictly followed. It is the duty of the
633
 social leadership, based in the mosque, to monitor this
matter. If the rules are not followed, the punishment of
Allah is severe, as stated in this section.

Section 3 of Chapter 65 [Verse 12]: Command Station

God is He Who created Seven Skies and of the lands an

equivalent. Through the midst of them descends His
command that ye may know that God has power over all
things and that God comprehends all things in knowledge.

Remarks:

There is a special land (astral object) in each sky, through

which Allah's commands, to be implemented by the
angels and other creatures according to a timeline,
descend. These commands were primarily extracted from
His Master Plan and were recorded in the Protected Disc
(Lawh-Mahfuz). I call these special lands 'Command
Stations.'
A Command Station is an establishment of the angels,
organized to monitor the living creatures of a Sky
according to their fates. Each Command Station has a
Chief Angel. There is a Prophet as well, as an observer,
most likely.
In the Quran, a Command Station is called Lofty
Station:

―Also mention in the book the case of Idris: He

was a man of truth, a prophet. And We raised him
to a lofty station.‖ [Al Quran 19:56-57]

634
 But I call it 'Command Station' because the verse
under discussion indicates that it is related to the
commands of God: ―…Through the midst of them
descends His command…‖
The Command Station is deliberately discussed in
Section-9 of Chapter-6.
In this chapter, the term 'Command Station' is
mentioned to imply that while one may wish to divorce
and Allah has legalized divorce, it will not occur unless it
is written in one‘s fate. Even an unsatisfied husband or
wife, with great reluctance, will serve the family as
though a slave.
At the same time, if divorce is written in one's fate
and is carried out, the wife will not be left unfed; Allah
has already allotted her sustenance, and it will reach her
through His system.

635
Chapter 66 [Al Tahrim PROHIBITION]
Introduction

The Surah addresses a dispute within the Prophet's (pbuh)

household, outlining the rights of a master over a slave
woman and vice versa. It also provides instructions to two of
his consorts.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 66 [Verse 1-5]: Dispute

O Prophet! Why hold thou to be forbidden that which God

has made lawful to thee? Thou seek to please thy consorts,
but God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. God has already
ordained for you the dissolution of your oaths, and God is
your Protector; and He is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Remarks:

Māriyya bint Shamʿūn, known as Māriyya Qibṭiyya, was

presented to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by Al-
Muqawqis, the Governor of Alexandria, as a slave

636
 woman. The Prophet (pbuh) loved her visibly more than
his other wives.
In response, two or more of his wives compelled the
Prophet to take an oath that he would not meet Māriyya
Qibṭiyya anymore. In regard to this issue, the following
verses were revealed: ―O Prophet! Why hold thou to be
forbidden that which God has made lawful to thee…God
has already ordained for you the dissolution of your
oaths…‖

Sunni Version:

The Prophet (pbuh) used to stay for a period in the room

of Hazrat Zaynab (R.) and drink honey. Hazrat Aisha (R.)
and Hazrat Hafsa (R.) decided that when the Prophet
would enter either of their rooms, they would say that
they could smell Maghafir from his mouth. The Prophet
(pbuh) ultimately declared that he would no longer drink
the honey (or words to that effect). On this issue, the
following verses were revealed: ―O Prophet! Why hold
thou to be forbidden that which God has made lawful to
thee...‖

When the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one

of his consorts and she then divulged it, and God made it
known to him—He confirmed part thereof and repudiated a
part. Then when he told her thereof, she said, "Who told thee
this?" He said, "He told me Who knows and is well-
acquainted."
If you two turn in repentance to Him, your hearts are
indeed so inclined. But if you back up each other against him,
truly God is his Protector, and Gabriel, and righteous one
637
among those who believe, and furthermore the angels will
back up.
It may be, if he divorced you, that God will give him in
exchange consorts better than you, who submit, who believe,
who are devout, who turn to God in repentance, who
worship, who travel and fast, previously married or virgins.

Remarks:

One consort disclosed the secret to another, and thus, they

were identified as an active group, opposing the Prophet
(pbuh) concerning Hazrat Māriyya Qibṭiyya (R.).
The second paragraph of the above verses indicates
that the two were daughters of influential fathers, as it
states: ―If you two turn in repentance to Him, your hearts
are indeed so inclined. But if you back up each other
against him, truly God is his Protector, and Gabriel, and
righteous one among those who believe, and furthermore
the angels will back up.‖
Thus, the wives are identified as Hazrat Aisha (R.),
the daughter of Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.), and Hazrat Hafsa
(R.), the daughter of Hazrat Omar (R.).
Their opposition had far-reaching effects, as God‘s
consent of divorce is mentioned in the verses: ―It may be,
if he divorced you, that God will give him in exchange
consorts better than you…‖ However, Prophet (pbuh) did
not divorce.

Section 2 of Chapter 66 [Verse 6-9]: A Call to Believers

O ye who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a

fire whose fuel is men and stones, over which are angels stern
638
severe, who flinch not the commands they receive from God,
but do what they are commanded: "O you Unbelievers, make
no excuses this day, you are being but requited for all that
you did!"
O you who believe! Turn to God with sincere repentance
in the hope that your Lord will remove from you your ills and
admit you to Jannaat beneath which rivers flow. The Day that
God will not permit to be humiliated the Prophet and those
who believe with him; their light will run forward before
them and by their right hands, while they say, "Our Lord!
Perfect our light for us and grant us forgiveness; for Thou
have power over all things."
O Prophet! Strive hard against the Unbelievers and the
Hypocrites and be firm against them. Their abode is hell, an
evil refuge.

Remarks:

The section outlines what a believer should do in this

context. The second paragraph states that Allah will not
allow the Prophet's family to be dishonored on the Day of
Judgment: ―The Day that God will not permit to be
humiliated the Prophet and those who believe with
him…‖ Therefore, none of the Prophet's family should be
discussed negatively.
The third paragraph instructed the Prophet (pbuh) to
strive hard for the cause of Islam, rather than focusing on
such family issues.

639
Section-3 of Chapter 66 [Verse 10-12]: Examples of the
Two

God sets forth for an example to the Unbelievers the wife of

Noah and the wife of Lut. They were under two of our
righteous servants, but they were false to them, and they
profited nothing before God on their account but were told:
"Enter ye the Fire along with that enters!"
And God sets forth as an example to those who believe
the wife of Pharaoh. Behold she said, "O my Lord! Build for
me in nearness to Thee a mansion in the Jannaat, and save me
from Pharaoh and his doings, and save me from those that do
wrong". And Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her
chastity, and We breathed into of Our spirit; and she testified
to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations
and was one of the devout.

Remarks

The above verses warn Hazrat Aisha (R.) and Hazrat

Hafsa (R.). It was clearly stated that they would be
rewarded or punished according to their deeds.
Later, Hazrat Aisha (R.) opposed Hazrat Ali (R.) and
fought against him in the Battle of Camel. This initiated
the First Fitna, which ultimately led to the destruction of
the Caliphate. Fighting against the Caliph is akin to
fighting against the Prophet (pbuh), as a Caliph represents
the Prophet (pbuh).
Allah knows best.

Chapter 67 [Al Mulk THE DOMINION]
Introduction

The Surah discusses death and the afterlife to warn people.

Section 1 [Verse 1-2]: The Creator of Death

Section 3 [Verse 15-23]: Manageable Earth
Section 4 [Verse 24-27]: The Judgment is Near.
Section 5 [Verse 28-30]: Conclusion

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 67 [Verse 1-2]: The Creator of Death

Blessed be He in Whose hands is dominion and He over all

things has power.
He Who created death and life (life after resurrection)
that He may try, which of you is best in deed; and He is the
Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving.

Remarks:

The death seems like the end. But, the above verses state
that Allah has created death, and the death is as such that
one can be re-created for the Judgment.

641
 A human can be resurrected using a set of his earthly
DNA molecules (46).
A developed nafs gains certain information to inspire
and assist the genome in forming the body. However, the
complete genome code is a vast program that cannot be
fully copied into the nafs.
The nafs primarily holds the emotions of a person.

The Collection of Nafs during Death

A nafs (composite soul) becomes deeply rooted in a

living creature. Furthermore, within the earthly body, it
remains in a constant state of development. As a result,
drawing it out from the body is a complex process. A
vast and sophisticated system is used to extract the nafs
from the body of a dying person. This system is called
Maut (Death).
According to the Hadith, once 'Maut' (Death) was
displayed to the angels, and it passed before them. The
angels were terrified upon seeing its immense size and
power. Even the mighty Angel of Death, Azrail,
exclaimed how he could control it! Allah placed 'Maut'
(Death) under the control of Azrail.
According to the Hadith, after the salvation of the last
human, 'Maut' (Death) will be slaughtered in the Barzakh.
After that, no one will die.
Muslims often fail to connect 'Maut' with the
salvation of people from Hell, because the sinful
followers of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) have a distinct
path to salvation. According to the Hadith, once in
Jannah, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) will remember his
sinful followers who are in Hell. He will pray to Allah,
642
and Allah will permit him to rescue them. His sinful
followers will be identifiable by the signs of 'udhu'
(ablution). Prophet (pbuh) will then bring them out and
lead them to Jannah.
But the situation will be different for the followers of
other Prophets. The followers of other Prophets (mainly
Christians) will endure punishment for a period of time.
When Allah deems their punishment sufficient and their
nafs have been corrected, He will decree their deaths.
Subsequently, they will be resurrected in a safe form. At
that time, they will not be resurrected in deformed shape,
as their nafs have been purified through the intense fire
and punishment of Hell. Later, they may be taken into
Jannah.

―They will say: "Our Lord! Twice hast Thou

made us without life, and twice hast Thou given
us Life! Now have we recognized our sins: Is
there any way out?"
"This is because, when God was invoked as
the Only, ye did reject Faith, but when partners
were joined to Him (in the form of Trinity), ye
believed! The Command is with God, Most High,
Most Great!"
[Al Quran 40:11-12]]

Only the great sinners will never die and will remain
in the hell forever. It is said in Holy Bible as under:

―The rest of the humanity, all those who had not

been killed by these plagues, did not turn away
from what they themselves had made. They did
643
 not stop worshipping demons, nor the idols of
gold, silver, bronze, stones, and wood, which
cannot see, hear, or walk. Nor did they repent of
their murders, their magic, their sexual
immorality, or their stealing‖
[Revelation 9 (20–21), Holy Bible, GNB]

The great sinners will remain in the hell (Universe)

forever.
Therefore, Allah has created an entity called Death
(Maut), designed to draw out the nafs (soul) of a creature
at the time of death. This entity is under the control of
Azrail, the Angel of Death.
The physical death of a person, including the
preservation of his DNA molecules, memory data, and
nafs, is a deliberate process, designed to facilitate his
resurrection on the Day of Judgment.

Section 2 of Chapter 67 [Verse 3-14]: Hell

He Who created the Seven Skies one above another. Not thou
see in the Creation of Most Gracious any disparity
(tafawutin). So, return thy vision: can you see any ‗act of
Originator‘ (futurin)? Again, return thy vision a second
time—overturned to you the vision, lost, and it is tired.

Remarks:

The universe is fine-tuned, with no disparity (tafawutin)

in it. Such a precisely ordered universe cannot have
evolved on its own. Therefore, there must be a God Who
created and continues to evolve the universe. We perceive
644
 His acts of origination (futurin) as the Big Bang (as that is
what our understanding can encompass…Big Bang).

And We have adorned the Sky of the Earth with lamps

(stars), have made such missiles (asteroids) to drive away the
satan, and have prepared for them the penalty of the blazing
fire of hell. For those who reject their Lord is the punishment
of ―Jahannam‖ (a level of hell), and evil is the destination.

Remarks:

According to the above verses, the Hell is created within

this universe. During the Night Journey (Miraj), Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) witnessed the objects of Hell in each
sky.

Hadith: ―During Miraz (Night Journey) I saw in

the Seventh Sky that there was thunder and
roaring sound, and a group of people. Their
bellies were as big as houses. In those, there were
many snakes, which were being seen from the
outside. I asked to Gabriel, which kind of people
they were? He said, ―It is the scene of those who
took interest (riba) by lending money‖ [Bukhari]

The following Hadith helps us identify the objects of

Hell:

Hadith: "After burning for thousands of years, the

fire of Hell becomes red. Again, after burning for
thousands of years, it becomes white. Then again,

645
 after burning for thousands of years, it becomes
dark black and remains in that state" [Tirmizi]

When an object is heated, it first turns red, then

yellow with more heat, white with further heating, and
eventually blue as the temperature increases. However,
increasing heat never causes it to turn black.
But, the above Hadith states that the fire of Hell
becomes dark black in its final stage: red → white →
dark black. What does this signify?
Actually, the Hadith is pointing to the stages of Stellar
Evolution: Red Giant → White Dwarf → Black Hole.

FIGURE 67.1: Stellar Evolution

In Section-27 of Chapter-3, I discuss Hell in detail,

where I explain how a massive star becomes a black hole
at the end of its life.
Every galaxy harbors a supermassive black hole at its
center, which acts as the pivot of the galaxy. Thus,
galaxies can be seen as objects of Hell, and the fire
produced around a black hole represents the fire of Hell.
A galaxy without living creatures would lose the
attention of Allah. Therefore, each significant galaxy
contains living beings, primarily the jinn and their
646
supporting creatures. In addition, galaxies will have
human beings as the vicegerents of God.
Therefore, if one desires to own a galaxy, one may
choose the path of freedom, disregarding the commands
of Allah delivered through an unlettered Prophet (pbuh).
If Allah finds one as a tiny big one, He would make one a
real big one—He is the Creator Supreme, Ever Merciful.

―Allah created the Skies and Lands (universe) for

just ends, and in order that each soul may find the
recompense of what it has earned and none of
them be wronged.‖ [Al Quran 54: 22]

―We created not the Skies and Lands and all

between them (universe) merely in sport. We
created them not except for just ends. But most of
them do not understand. Verily, the day of sorting
out is the time appointed for all of them.‖
[Al Quran 44: 38–39]

A person from Hell may own an entire galaxy, but he

will be placed in an object within his galaxy according to
the verdict of his punishment. Each galaxy, based on the
degree of violence, has seven regions: 1. Haawiyah, 2.
Hotamah, 3. Ladha, 4. Jaheem, 5. Sa‘eer, 6. Saqqar, 7.
Jahannam. These regions are connected by seven doors
and pathways of space.
Though a galaxy has seven regions, one human will
own a complete galaxy; there will not be a second human
in that galaxy. However, there will be jinn and other
universal creatures.

647
 One's goal in Hell would be to move to a less
punishing object within one‘s galaxy. Therefore, one
should learn to build spaceships.

When they are cast therein, they will hear the drawing in
of its breath, as it blazes forth; it almost burst with fury.
Every time a group is cast therein, its keepers will ask, "Did
no Warner come to you?"
They will say, "Yes, indeed a Warner did come to us, but
we rejected him and said, "God never sent down any; you are
nothing but an egregious delusion!" They will further say,
"Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not
be among the companions of the blazing fire!" They will then
confess their sins, but far will be (Jannaat) from the
companions of the blazing fire!

Remarks:

The Jannaat is a separate universe beyond this universe

(Samawaat).

As for those who fear their Lord unseen, for them is

forgiveness and a great reward. And whether you hide your
word or publish it, He certainly has knowledge of the secrets
of hearts; should He not know—He that created? And He is
the One that understands the finest mysteries is well
acquainted.

648
Section 3 of Chapter 67 [Verse 15-23]: Manageable Earth

It is He Who has made the earth manageable for you, so

traverse you through its tracts and enjoy of the sustenance,
which He furnishes, but unto Him is the Resurrection.
Do you feel secure that He Who is in sky will not cause
you to be swallowed up by the earth, and then it should
quake?

Remarks:

The Earth sometimes swallows up objects, such as a

building, without any warning. These are known as
sinkholes.

67.2: A Sinkhole

649
 Above sinkhole swallowed a three-storied building
and an entire intersection in Guatemala City. It is nearly
100 feet deep and 66 feet wide.
The sinkholes are signs of coming earthquake.

Or do you feel secure that He Who is in the sky will not

send against you a violent tornado so that you shall know
how was My warning?

Remarks:

Tornadoes occur in specific regions of the Earth, but no

one should assume they are limited only to those regions;
they can strike anywhere. In 2013, one such tornado
pictured here killed 23 and injured 500 in Bangladesh.

67.3: A Tornado

But indeed, men before them rejected; then how was My

rejection?
Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their
wings and folding them in? Nothing holds them except Most
Gracious. Truly, it is He that watches over all things. Nay,
650
who is there that can help you—an army besides Most
Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers.

Remarks:

Birds fly by spreading and folding their wings, but they

would not be able to fly if gravity were not holding them
through their centers of gravity (CG). Without it, they
would be unbalanced and thrown off course. The above
verse says, ―Nothing holds them except Most Gracious‖.
So, the gravity is a force of Allah designed to sustain the
objects.
Allah moves the Earth and the Stars. He sustains the
galaxies:

―It is God Who alternates the Night and the Day,

verily in these things is an instructive example for
those who have vision!‖ [Al Quran 24:44]

―He covers the night with the day, seeking it

rapidly, and the sun and the moon and the stars
controlled by His deed.‖ [Al Quran 7:54]

Who is there that can sustain trillions and trillions of

stars and other objects—an army? No one can; not even
an army of angels. Allah alone sustains the entire
universe:

“It isGod Who sustains the Skies and the Lands

(universe) lest they cease; and if they should fail,
there is none—not one—can sustain them

651
 thereafter. Verily He is Most Forbearing, Oft-
Forgiving. [Al Quran 35:41]

Or who is there that can provide you with Sustenance if

He were to withhold His provision? Nay, they obstinately
persist in insolent impiety and flight.
Is then one who walks headlong with his face groveling
better guided, or one who walks evenly on a Straight Way?
Say: ―It is He Who has created you and made for you the
faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding; little
thanks it is you give.‖

Section 4 of Chapter 67 [Verse 24-27]: The Judgment is

Near

Say: ―It is He Who has created you on the earth, and to Him
shall you be gathered together.‖
They ask: ―When will this promise be, if ye are telling the
truth?‖
Say: ―As to the knowledge of the time, it is with God
alone; I am only to warn plainly in public.‖
At length, when they see it close at hand, grieved will be
the faces of the Unbelievers, and it will be said: ―This is,
which ye were calling for!‖

Section 5 of Chapter 67 [Verse 28-30]: Conclusion

Say: "See you, if God were to destroy me and those with me,
or if He bestows His mercy on us—yet who can deliver the
Unbelievers from a grievous penalty?"

652
 Say: "He is Most Gracious; we have believed in Him, and
on Him have we put our trust. So, soon will you know which
it is that is in manifest error."
Say: "See you, if your water were to sink away, who then
can supply you with flowing water?"

653

Introduction

The Surah affirms the truth of the Quran and calls on Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) to persevere patiently. Believers will not
be treated in the same way as those who are sinful.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 68 [Verse1-33]: Hearken not to those
who Deny

Nun. By the Pen and what they write; thou are not by the
grace of thy Lord mad or possessed. Nay, verily for thee is a
reward unfailing, and thou is on an exalted standard of
character. Soon will thou see, and they will see, which of you
is afflicted with madness.
Verily, it is thy Lord that knows best, which has strayed
from His path, and He knows best those who receive
guidance. So, hearken not to those who deny. Their desire is
that thou should be pliant, so would they be pliant.
Heed not the type of despicable man, ready with oaths. A
slanderer going about with calumnies, hindering good,
transgressing beyond bounds, deep in sin, violent and
654
moreover base-born, because he possesses wealth and sons.
When to him are rehearsed Our verses, "Tales of the
ancients," he cries!

Remarks:

The above verses are talking about some writers: ―By the
Pen, and what they write‖. Who are the writers?
The Pen writes on the Protected Disc (Lawh-Mahfuz).
This Pen-Disc system functions as a divine computer
(CCU), which oversees a vast cybernetic system that
automates the Empire of Angels. It is deliberately
discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6.
The CCU is not directly connected to Sidratul-
Muntaha for security reasons. The Scribe-Angels copy
the orders from the CCU and enter those into the server
of the Sidratul-Muntaha to task and program the angels.
Similarly, the Scribe-Angels copied the verses of the
Quran and delivered those to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
through Gabriel and his minor angels.

―…For it is indeed a Message of instruction.

Therefore, let who-so will keep it in
remembrance. In books (Lawh-Mahfuz) held in
honor, exalted, kept pure and holy by the hands of
scribes (Scribe-Angels)‖ [Al Quran 80: 11-15]

Soon shall We brand on the snout! Verily, We have tried

them as We tried the people of the garden, when they
resolved to gather the fruits of it in the morning, but made no
reservation (did not say or think, "If it be God's will"). Then
there came on it a visitation from thy Lord, all around, while
655
they were asleep. So, it became by the morning like a dark
and desolate spot.
As the morning broke, they called out one to another: "Go
you to your tilth in the morning, if you would gather the
fruits."
So, they departed conversing in secret low tones: ―Let not
a single indigent person break in upon you into it this day‖.
And they opened the morning strong in a resolve.
But when they saw it, they said: ―We have surely lost our
way, indeed we are shut out!‖
Said one of them more just: ―Did I not say to you, Why
not glorify?‖
They said: ―Glory to our Lord! Verily, we have been
doing wrong!‖
Then they turned one against another in reproach.
They said: ―Alas for us! We have indeed transgressed! It
may be that our Lord will give us in exchange a better than
this, for we do turn to Him!‖
Such is the punishment, but greater is the punishment in
the hereafter, if only they knew!

Section 2 of Chapter 68 [Verse 34-43]: People will not be

Dealt Equally

Verily, for the Righteous (Muttaqin) is Jannaatin-Adni in the

presence of their Lord.
Shall We then treat the people of Faith like the people of
Sin? What is the matter with you? How judge you? Or have
you a book through which you learn that you shall have
through it whatever you choose? Or have you covenants with
Us on oath reaching to the Day of Judgment that you shall

656
have whatever you shall demand? Ask them, which of them
will stand surety for that!
Or have they some "Partners"? Then let them produce
their "Partners", if they are truthful!
The Day that the Shin shall be laid bare and they shall be
summoned to bow in adoration, but they shall not be able,
their eyes will be cast down, ignominy will cover them
seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to bow in
adoration, while they were sound.

Remarks

On the Day of Judgment, Allah in form will come down

on the Land of Judgment. As the Kursi will be coming
down, His Shin will be visible at first. Then, everyone
will be required to fall into prostration before Him, but
many will be unable to do so. They will be physically
incapable of prostrating.
A sound nafs is expected to produce a sound body at
the time of resurrection. However, a nafs with a devil-
human shape and program will produce a physique
resembling a devil, not a perfect human body. This body
will be suited to interact with both creatures and anti-
creatures. It will be approximately a thousand kilometers
tall, and the individual will be unable to prostrate. On the
Land of Judgment, these individuals will be marshaled
separately.
If a person worships an idol, he becomes possessed by
a satanic jinni. Gradually, his nafs (soul) becomes
deformed. The nafs is altered to sustain and interact with
both a human body and a jinn body, despite one being
created from matter and the other from anti-matter. Upon
657
 death, their nafs solidifies into the devil-human shape and
program. The nafs is further strengthened and developed
in the Sijjin, as they are destined to exist in an object
(hell) of this violent universe.
On the Day of Judgment, the person will be
resurrected with a massive devil-human body, suited to
survive in this violent universe. They will have the ability
to contact and command the jinn. However, they will be
unable to prostrate before God.
After the Judgment, he will be destined to live in a
galaxy (an object of hell) within this universe
(Samawaat), as a forgotten vicegerent of God. He will
experience constant pain due to the very nature of his
abode, filled with fire and boiling water.

Section 3 of Chapter 68 [Verse 44-52]: Wait with Serenity

Then leave Me alone with such as reject this message; by

degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive
not. A respite will I grant them; truly powerful is My plan.
Or is it that thou do ask them for a reward so that they are
burdened with a load of debt? Or that the unseen is in their
hands so that they can write it down?
So, wait with patience for the command of thy Lord and
be not like the companion of the Fish when he cried out in
agony. Had not grace from his Lord reached him, he would
indeed have been cast off on the naked shore in disgrace.
Thus, did his Lord choose him and make him of the company
of the Righteous.

658
 And the Unbelievers would almost trip thee up with their
eyes, when they hear the message, and they say: ―Surely, he
is possessed!‖
But it is nothing less than a message to all the worlds.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 69 [Verse 1-12]: Inevitable Course of
Events

The inevitable! What is the inevitable? And what will make

thee realize what the inevitable is? Thamud and 'Ad, the
striking calamity.
So, about the Thamud: they were destroyed by the
overpowering!
And, the Ad: they were destroyed by a furious wind,
exceedingly violent. He made it rage against them seven
nights and eight days in succession so that thou could see the

660
people lying prostrate in it, as if they had been roots of
hollow palm-trees tumbled down!
Then see thou any of them left surviving?
And Pharaoh and those before him and the cities
overthrown committed habitual sin and disobeyed the apostle
of their Lord. So, He punished them with an abundant
penalty.
We, when the water overflowed beyond its limits, carried
you in the floating (Ark) that We might make it for you a
reminder, and a conscious ear would be conscious of it.

Section 2 of Chapter 69 [Verse 13-18]: The Final

Judgment

Then, when the First Blast is sounded on the Trumpet and the
Earth is thrown off and its mountains and they are crushed to
powder at one stroke.

Remarks:

When the first blast is sounded, humans will die due to

the tremendous sound. The Earth will be thrown off its
orbit and will fall into the Sun.
Other planets of the Solar System will not have a
different fate. They too will be thrown off their orbits and
will fall into the Sun.

―When the planets (Kawkab) are scattered. When

the oceans are suffered to burst forth.‖
[Al Quran 82: 2–3]

661
 Along with all the other stars, the collapsed Solar
System will fall into the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

―When the stars fall, losing their luster.‖

[Al Quran 81:2]

On that Day shall the Event come to pass, and the Sky
will split, for it will that Day be flimsy.

Remarks:

The universe is organized into seven skies. For about five

billion years, it has been contracting from the outermost
boundary, rolling up the skies. Eventually, the universe
will collapse into a point, and all matter will disappear.
Only the forces (commands) and information (photons)
will remain. Then, Allah will reprogram the universe to
revive it.
The universe will begin to unroll from that extremely
squeezed state. It will gain mass when the resurrection of
the dead occurs. The matter of the Solar System, along
with the resurrected living creatures, will be moved to a
safe distance away from the reviving universe (Heavy
Mass / Thaqal). This solar matter will form the Land of
Judgment.
Thus, the sky (the reviving universe in the state of
Thaqal) will split. The splitting will occur because the sky
(Thaqal) will be weak (flimsy) that day due to its rolling
momentum.
The Thaqal and the Land of Judgment will be in the
Eastern Super Space.
662
 And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will that
Day bear the Arsh of thy Lord above them.

Remarks:

The Arsh will come down as the universe (Samawaat)

contracts, and the Jannaat will draw near—the entire
Super Space will contract that day. Eight angels, standing
around the edges of the Araf, will prevent the Arsh from
falling onto the universes.
The seat of God is called Kursi. The Kursi is
primarily located in the Arsh, but it is movable:

"…extends His Kursi into the Skies and Lands

(Universe)…" [Al Quran 2: 255]

On the Day of Judgment, the Kursi will descend upon

the Land of Judgment.
If one looks toward the Kursi, standing at the center
of the Land of Judgment, the Samawaat (Thaqal) will be
to his left; the Jannaat will be to his right, but beyond the
veil (Barzakh); and the Arsh will be above his head.
On that Day, Allah will appear.

That Day shall you be brought to Judgment; not an act of

yours that ye hide will be hidden.

663
Section 3 of Chapter 69 [Verse 19-24]: Jannaat

Then he that will be given his record in his right hand will
say: "Ah here! Read ye my record! I did really understand
that my account would reach me!" And he will be in a life of
bliss, in a Jannaat on the high; the fruits whereof low and
near.
Eat you and drink you with full satisfaction because
of that you sent before, you in the days that are gone!

Section 4 of Chapter 69 [Verse 25-37]: Hell

And he that will be given his record in his left hand will say:
"Ah! Would that my record had not been given to me, and
that I had never realized how my account is. Ah! Would that
(death) had made an end of me; of no profit to me has been
my wealth; my power has perished from me!"
Seize you him, and bind you him, and burn you him in
the blazing fire. Further, make him march in a chain, whereof
the length is seventy cubits! This was he that would not
believe in God, Most High. Nor did he encourage the feeding
of the poor. So, no friend has he here this Day. Nor has he
any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,
which none do eat but those in sin.

Section 5 of Chapter 69 [Verse 38-52]: Conclusion

So, I do call to witness what you see and what you see not
that this is verily the word of an honored apostle; it is not the
word of a poet—little it is you believe! Nor is it the word of a
soothsayer—little admonition it is you receive.

664
 A Message sent down from the Lord of the universes.
And if the Apostle were to invent any sayings in Our name,
We should certainly seize him by his right hand, and We
should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart. Nor could
any of you withhold him.

Remarks:

In light of the verses of above paragraph, it was wise for

the Prophet (pbuh) not to explain any verse. One will find
no Hadith in which Prophet (pbuh) deliberately explained
a verse. So, the Hadiths should not be considered as the
explanation of the Quran.
The Quran was revealed in small parts, depending on
the situations in the Prophet‘s life. The Prophet acted
according to the verses, and thus, his actions serve as
explanations of those verses. Therefore, his biography
(Sirah) and early Islamic history are crucial for
understanding the Quran.
The Prophet (pbuh) established the procedure for
offering prayers as a tradition in the mosque of Madinah,
and such a tradition remains unchanged. To perform the
prayers, we must observe and follow the tradition of
Madinah, or of Kufa, where Hazrat Ali (R.) set the
tradition.

But, verily this is a Message for the Guards.

And We certainly know that there are among you those
that reject.
But, truly (it) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.
But, verily, it is Truth of assured certainty.
So, glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.

Chapter 70 [Al Ma'arij THE WAYS OF ASCENT]
Introduction

The Surah highlights the Day of Judgment and discusses the

people who will be safe on that Day.

Flowchart

Section 1 [Verse 1-14]: On the Day of Judgment

Section 2 [Verse 15-35]: Saved Ones
Section 3 [Verse 36-41]: Unbelievers on the Day of
Judgment
Section 4 [Verse 42-44]: Conclusion

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 70 [Verse 1-14]: On the Day of
Judgment

A questioner asked about a penalty to befall, to the

Unbelievers; not of it any preventer from God, Lord of the
Ways of Ascent; the angels and the ruh ascend unto him in a
Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years. Therefore,
do thou hold patience, a patience beautiful.

Remarks:

The universe will collapse, and subsequently, it will be

revived to the state of Thaqal (Heavy Mass), when the
resurrection of the dead will occur.
666
 The evolution of the universe will be temporarily
halted at the state of Thaqal for the Judgment and
Salvation.
The Land of Judgment will be formed in Super Space,
with the matter of the Solar System detached from the
Thaqal.
Seven channels will connect the Land of Judgment
with the Thaqal, and a pair of channels will connect the
Land of Judgment with the Araf (see figure below).

FIGURE 70.1; Ways of Ascent

The Seven Channels:

―Again, on the Day of Judgment will ye be raised

up. And We have made above you Seven Tracts
(Channels through the Super space), and We are
never unmindful of creation.‖
[Al Quran 23: 16-17]

The Pair of Channels:

Hadith: ―In the Seventh Sky, I saw a river of light

(a channel through the Super Space), such that the

667
 light that was coming from them made the eyes
blind. The river of darkness (a channel through
the Super Space) was also there that was covered
over with ice, and the sound of thunder crashing
could be heard. I was busy looking at these rivers
when Jibra'il (Gabriel) said to me, "O'
Muhammad, be thankful to Allah for the graces
and bounties that have been chosen for you."
[Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 18]

In the verse under discussion, these channels are

called Ways of Ascent.
The angels who will die during the First Blow of the
Trumpet will be resurrected on the Thaqal and will move
to the Land of Judgment through the Ways of Ascent
(Seven Channels).
The jinn and other anti-creatures will be resurrected
on the Thaqal and will also be moved to the Land of
Judgment through the same Ways of Ascent.
However, the resurrected humans and other living
creatures made of baryonic matter will be shifted to the
Land of Judgment along with the matter of the Solar
System, which will form the Land of Judgment.
[The Final Judgment is deliberately discuss is
Section-6 of Chapter-39]

They see it indeed as a far-off, but We see it near. The

Day that the Sky (the Universe at the state of Thaqal) will be
like molten brass and the mountains will be like wool.
And no friend will ask after a friend, though they will
be put in sight of each other. The sinner's desire will be:
would that he could redeem himself from the penalty of that
668
Day by his children, his wife, and his brother, his kindred
who sheltered him, and all, all that is on earth, so it could
save him.

Section 2 of Chapter 70 [Verse 15-35]: Saved Ones

No! Indeed, it is the flame, plucking out right to the skull,

inviting such as turn their backs, and turn away their faces,
and collect and hide it!

Remarks:

The producers of hell-fire are black holes. The escape

velocity of a black hole is so high that even light cannot
escape from it. Thus, any object that falls into a black
hole is hidden forever.
A black hole collects everything from the surrounding
space through its immensely powerful gravitational force,
resulting in the formation of an accretion disk. The matter
swirls around the black hole and gradually collapses
toward the central point. This swirling matter produces
devastating flames due to friction.
Thus, a black hole collects and hides, producing
flames due to its nature of gathering and concealing.
Similarly, a sinner exhibits the same traits; they collect
wealth and hide it, refusing to spend it in charity. Hell
calls those of a similar nature: ―…inviting such as turn
their backs, and turn away their faces, and collect and
hide it!‖

Truly, man was created very impatient—fretful when evil

touches him, and niggardly when good reaches him.
669
 Not so those who closely follow—those who remain
steadfast to their salat.
And those in whose wealth are a recognized right for who
asks, and for him who is prevented.
And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment.
And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord; for their
Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquility.
And those who guard their chastity except with their
wives and whom their right hands possess, for they are not to
be blamed, but those who trespass beyond this are
transgressors.
And those who respect their trusts and covenants (Bayah)
And those who stand firm in their testimonies.
And those who guard of their salat.
Such will be the honored ones in the Jannaat, honored.

Section 3 of Chapter 70 [Verse 36-41]: Unbelievers on the

Day of Judgment

Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush
madly before thee from the right and from the left in crowds?
Does every man of them aspire to enter the Jannaata-Naimin?
No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they
know (double helix DNA molecule). So, I swear by the Lord
of risings and settings that indeed We are able to replace
them with better than them, and We are not to be outdone.

Remarks:

All living creatures, from amoeba to blue whale and

bacterium to maple tree, are produced from the same
double helix DNA molecule. Only the genetic codes
670
differ. Therefore, it is possible to produce giants suited to
live in the objects of hell (galaxies), as the verses under
discussion suggest: ―No! Indeed, We have created them
from that which they know (double helix DNA molecule).
So, I swear by the Lord of risings and settings that indeed
We are able to replace them with better than them, and
We are not to be outdone.‖
An idolater is a mount for the satanic jinn—he
remains possessed, though unaware of it. His soul (nafs)
becomes deformed, learning to sustain and inspire both a
human and jinn body. His deformed soul is nourished in
the Sijjin. He will be resurrected with a giant, devil-
human, multi-dimensional body, suited for the object of
hell (a galaxy).
The people will have the ability to interact with the
jinns, created from anti-matter. Their nafses will be so
developed that they will be able to observe the jinn with
their third-eye vision, alongside the visions of their
physical eyes. They will hear the jinns as well. The jinns
will be their allies in the galaxy, where they would be the
vicegerents of God, but forgotten.

"Such as took their religion to be mere amusement

and play, and were deceived by the life of the
world." That day shall We forget them as they
forgot the meeting of this day of theirs, and as
they were wont to reject Our signs."
[Al Quran 7:51]

Their physiques will be immensely robust and

dynamic. If one's physique is harmed, it will heal
spontaneously. Skin and lost body parts will regenerate.
671
 A person created with a fixed, matured soul (nafs),
programmed to resurrect them from a set of double-helix
DNA molecules, cannot be destroyed. The nafs will
continuously resurrect them, forever.
On the Day of Judgment, a pagan will know his likely
destiny by seeing his resurrected body. Yet, some of them
will rush madly towards As-Sirat, aspiring to enter the
Jannaat.

Section 4 of Chapter 70 [Verse 42-44]: Conclusion

So, leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about until
they encounter that Day of theirs, which they have been
promised. The Day whereon they will issue from their
sepulchers in sudden haste as if they were rushing to a goal
post, their eyes lowered in dejection, ignominy covering
them! Such is the Day, the which they are promised!

Chapter 71 [Nuh NOAH]
Introduction

The Surah describes how the People of Noah rejected the

message and were drowned.

Flowchart

Section 1 [Verse 1-20]: The Call of Noah

Section 2 [Verse 21-24]: People finally rejected the Call of
Noah
Section 3 [Verse 25-28]: Drowned were the People of Noah

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 71 [Verse 1-20]: The Call of Noah

We sent Noah to his people: Do thou warn thy people before

there comes to them a grievous penalty.
He said: O my people! I am to you a Warner, clear and
open. That you should worship God, guard against Him, and
obey me. So, He may forgive you your sins and give you
respite for a stated term; for when the term given by God is
accomplished, it cannot be put forward, if you only knew.
He said: O my Lord! I have called to my people night and
day. But my call only increases flight. And every time I have
called to them that Thou might forgive them, they have thrust
their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their
garments, grown obstinate, and given them up to arrogance.

673
So, I have called to them aloud. Further, I have spoken to
them in public and secretly in private, saying:
Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving.
He will send rain to you in abundance. Give you increase in
wealth and sons and bestow on you gardens and bestow on
you rivers.
What is the matter with you that you do not attribute
grandeur to God? And indeed, He created you in diverse
stages?
See you not how God has created the Seven Skies one
above another and made the moon a light in their midst and
made the sun as a lamp?
And God has produced you from the earth, growing. And
in the end, He will return you into it and raise you forth?
And God has made the earth for you as a carpet that you
may go about therein in spacious roads.

Section 2 of Chapter 71 [Verse 21-24]: People finally

rejected the Call of Noah

Noah said: O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they

follow whose wealth and children give them no increase, but
only loss. And they have devised a tremendous plot. And
they have said: ―Abandon not your gods; abandon neither
Wadd nor Suwa, neither Yaguth nor Yauq nor Nasr.‖ They
have already misled many, and grant Thou no increase to the
wrongdoers but in straying.

674
Section 3 of Chapter 71 [Verse 25-28]: Drowned were the
People of Noah

Because of their sins, they were drowned and were made to

enter the fire, and they found in lieu of God none to help
them.
And Noah said:
O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on
the land! For, if Thou do leave them, they will but mislead
Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful
ones.
O my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my
house in Faith, and believing men and believing women; and
to the wrong-doers grant Thou no increase, but in perdition!

Remarks:

Most likely, Noah and his people were from the region of
the Black Sea. They were people with blue eyes, as many
of the Jews, descendants of Noah, also have blue eyes.
Noah carried every animal in pairs, which leads
people to believe that the entire earth was flooded.
However, the animals could have been from the Arctic
and sub-Arctic regions, specialized to live in polar
climates. These animals were preserved so that, if Europe
and Russia were flooded, local nature could eventually
return after the flood.
However, the Holy Bible states that the entire earth
was flooded. It also mentions that present mankind
descends from the sons of Noah. The Holy Bible may
have been corrupted in this aspect. According to the

675
Quran, there were a few Believers as well, in the boat of
Noah.

―At length, behold, there came Our command, and

the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said:
"Embark therein, of each kind two, male and
female; and your family, except those against
whom the word has already gone forth; and the
Believers", but only a few believed with him.‖
[Al Quran 11:40]

Present-day Europeans and Russians with blue eyes may

be descendants of these Believers, as well as the sons of
Noah—Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Probably, a few descendants of the sons of Noah
moved into the Middle East. Among them, the
descendants of Isaac (the Jews) preserved their lineage by
marrying within their own community.
No prophet, except Muhammad (pbuh), was sent for
the entire world. Noah was sent only to his people, and
others were not meant to be punished for their sins. The
first line of this section clearly states this, ―Because of
their sins, they were drowned.‖

676
Chapter 72 [Al Jinn]
Introduction

The Surah discusses the jinn, including those who belong to

the group of Satan (Iblis).

Flowchart

Section 1 [Verse 1-5]: Wonderful Recital

Section 2 [Verse 6-7]: They Think as you Thought
Section 3 [Verse 8-10]: Worry about Humans

Section 5 [Verse 16-28]: Preaching of Islam in Makkah

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 72 [Verse 1-5]: Wonderful Recital

Say: ―It has been revealed to me that a company of jinns

listened. They said, ―We have really heard a wonderful
recital! It gives guidance to the right, and we have believed
therein. We shall not join any with our Lord. And exalted is
the majesty of our Lord; He has taken neither a wife nor a
son. And that he (Satan / Iblis) used to speak the foolish
among us against God an excessive transgression. But, we do
think that no man or jinn should say aught that is untrue
against God.‖

677
Remarks:

The jinn are intelligent creatures, and they will face the
Final Judgment. They exist around us, but we cannot see
or feel them, nor can our instruments detect them. They
do not interact with our matter. The Quran states that they
are created from 'the poisonous fire of the prairie of fire':

―And the jinn race, We had created before, from

the poisonous fire.‖ [Al Quran 15:27]

―And He created Jinns from the prairie of fire‖

[Al Quran 55:15]

All of the above suggests that they are made from

anti-matter. This universe is a two-in-one universe, with a
parallel anti-universe existing alongside it, inhabited by
its anti-creatures.
―We now know that every particle has an anti-
particle, with which it can annihilate (In case of the force
carrying particles, the antiparticles are the same as the
particles themselves). There could be whole anti-world
and anti-people made out of anti-particles. However, if
you meet your anti-self, do not shake hands! You would
both vanish in a great flash of light‖
– A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking.
I am not suggesting that jinn are our anti-self
counterparts, but if the concept of an anti-self is
scientifically plausible, then the idea of the jinn is not
unscientific. A universe that contains five times more
dark matter than ordinary matter should logically harbor

678
creatures made from anti-matter (which is a form of dark
matter).

FIGURE 72.1

Matter and anti-matter are similar. Anti-matter is

composed of anti-particles, while matter is made up of
regular particles.
When particles and anti-particles encounter each
other, they annihilate one another, resulting in the
creation of photons. However, particles and anti-particles
are protected by force fields—such as the magnetic field
associated with an electron or the strong nuclear force
field surrounding a proton. Additionally, they may gain
protection when forming atoms or anti-atoms. Much is
still undiscovered. If Allah has created living creatures
from matter and anti-matter, He has also created the
systems to ensure their safety.
Moreover, atoms and anti-atoms are largely empty. If
an atom were compared to a football field, its nucleus
would be equivalent to a marble. Thus, matter is
transparent to anti-matter. At every moment, a significant

679
 amount of anti-matter passes through our bodies, yet we
do not feel it.
In reality, we do not often observe the collision of
matter and anti-matter in nature.
Regardless of whether we believe it or not, according
to the Quran and Hadith, the jinn exist in this universe.
The jinn are capable of moving through space and
reaching the stars and planets. Additionally, there are
angels assigned to guard their access points in different
zones of the skies.

―It is We who have set out fortresses in the Skies

and made them fair-seeming to beholders, and We
have guarded them from every satans (Jinns)
accursed. But any that gains a hearing by stealth is
pursued by a flaming fire, bright‖
[Al Quran 15: 16–18]

Section 2 of Chapter 72 [Verse 6-7]: They Think as you

Thought

True, there were persons among mankind who took shelter

with persons among the jinns, but they (jinns) increased them
in folly. And they (jinns) think as you thought that God
would not raise up any one.

Remarks:

What the verses mean by, ―True, there were persons

among mankind who took shelter with persons among the
Jinns‖?
The angels guard humans:
680
 ―For each there are in succession, before and
behind him; they (angels) guard him by command
of Allah…‖ [Al Quran 13:11]

Therefore, it is not possible for a satanic jinni to

defeat the angels and possess a human. However, since
humans are under trial, the satanic jinn are allowed to
whisper.
However, if a human is an unbeliever and worships
idols, the angels do not stop the jinn. In this case, the
human may be possessed by a satanic jinn. Allah has
made them allies to one another. This could be the way of
'seeking shelter among the jinn,' as the person is escaping
the protection of the angels.

―A man is like a horse, whose back never remains

vacant, either Allah is riding on him, or a satan.‖
[Hadith]

The Hadith tells us that the main Satan (Iblis) has

many followers among the jinn, each of whom is called a
satan.

"After each human there is a satan, who is a bad

jinn." [Hadith]

Iblis, the leader of the satans, has his throne in the

ocean. At the end of each day, all of his followers (satan
jinns) report to him.
It should be noted that not all jinn are followers of
Iblis; there are many good and pious jinn as well.
681
Causes of Following Iblis

Why do some jinn follow Iblis and provoke humans to

commit sinful deeds?
The jinn are made of anti-matter from a different
dimension, yet they have the ability to observe:

―…Verily, he (Iblis) and his tribe (satan jinns)

watch you from a position where you cannot see
them…‖ [Al Quran 7:27]

A jinni can possess a pagan and enter the human

dimension.
We know that gravitational force attracts both matter
and anti-matter equally. A human's nafs (soul) is a
combination of unknown force fields, some of which, like
gravitational force, may interact with anti-matter. A jinni
connects its nafs with a human's nafs, sharing emotions,
enjoying feelings, and perceiving senses. Thus, a jinni
can possess a human.

―One day will He gather them all together: "O ye

assembly of jinns! Certainly, you have many of
the mankind." Their friends among men will say:
"Our Lord! Some of us were enjoyed by others,
but we reached our term, which Thou did appoint
for us." He will say: "The fire be your dwelling-
place; you will dwell therein forever, except as
God wills." For thy Lord is full of wisdom and
knowledge.‖ [Al Quran 6:128]

682
 Thus, a jinni ventures into the human dimension
through a human's nafs and body, experiencing human
life. If the human is eating a fruit, the occupying jinni
also enjoys the experience of eating.

―Said: Go thy way; if any of them follow thee,

verily hell will be the recompense of you—an
ample recompense. And arouse those whom thou
can among them with thy voice; make assaults on
them with thy cavalry and thy infantry; mutually
share with them wealth and children; and make
promises to them, but Satan promises them
nothing but deceit‖ [Al Quran 17: 63-64]

A jinn possessing a human gradually becomes deeply

engraved in the human's nafs and body, causing their
thoughts to merge. Their thoughts begin to align with
each other, as mentioned in the verses under discussion,
―True, there were persons among mankind who took
shelter with persons among the jinns, but they (jinns)
increased them in folly. And they (jinns) think as you
thought that God would not raise up any one.‖
A human's soul (nafs) plays a crucial role in
resurrection. On Earth, the nafs is like a cast, and the
body is like a mold. If a jinni possesses a human, the cast
(nafs) becomes deformed. At the time of death, the nafs is
fixed in a devil-human shape and programs. On the Day
of Judgment, the person will be resurrected in this devil-
human shape and will be identifiable only by their marks:

―Even if the wrongdoers had all that there is on

earth and as much more would they offer it for
683
 ransom from the pain of the penalty on the Day of
Judgment! But something will confront them from
God, which they could never have counted
upon—and will become apparent to them satan,
what they earned, and will surround them what
they used to mock!‖ [Al Quran 39: 47-48]

A bewitched human performs evil activities in

collaboration with the mounted jinn. Women, in
particular, are vulnerable. A pagan woman may be
bewitched without her knowledge. If she feels hatred
toward someone and desires their harm, the mounted jinn
may share the same sentiment and cause harm in reality.
However, a jinni, created from anti-matter, cannot harm a
human directly. Instead, he causes harm through the nafs
of the possessed person, further corrupting her nafs.
However, the woman should not be killed. She should
be converted to Islam immediately. As soon as a person
embraces Islam, the guardian angels return and drive out
the mounted jinn. Afterward, the jinni is only allowed to
whisper.
A Muslim may view this as a fairy tale, because in
Muslim societies, a woman never becomes a witch.
However, it is common in pagan societies, where many
women are accused and killed for it.
A jinni cannot possess a believer in one God, but he
can whisper. The whisper creates a sensation in the
believer's nafs, which in turn produces a thought in the
mind.

―Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of

mankind, the King of mankind, the God of
684
 mankind, from the mischief of the whisperer who
withdraws, who whispers into the chest (mind) of
mankind, among jinns and among men.‖
[Al Quran 114: 1-6]

Section 3 of Chapter 72 [Verse 8-10]: Worry about

Humans

And we pried into the secrets of sky, but we found it filled

with stern guards and flaming fires. We used indeed to sit
there in stations to a hearing, but any who listen now will
find a flaming fire watching him in ambush. And we
understand not whether ill is intended to those on earth, or
whether their Lord intends to guide them to right conduct.

Remarks:

The jinn, discussed in the above verses, predicted two

plausible causes for additional security: either a great
punishment would come to the Earth, or a Prophet of God
would appear.
In Section-9 of Chapter-6, we discussed how the
angels monitor the materialization of fates. They arrive at
the Command Stations of the Skies in groups spanning a
thousand years, and remain in the Fortresses (star / star-
like object) for the time of subsequent move. Later, the
angels draw closer to the Earth in smaller groups by
Sakinah. From the Sakinah, an angel moves to its job
station. Thus, it is possible to know the future from the
Command Stations, Fortresses, or Sakinah. The jinn
know the future and relay it to the foretellers.

685
 Pharaoh learned about the arrival of Moses and
responded by killing the newborn male children of the
Jewish community for a certain period. Similarly, the
Roman Emperor became aware of the arrival of Jesus
Christ and ordered the killing of many children. However,
the jinns could not know about the arrival of Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh). The locations of the angels were
strongly guarded, as the verses indicate: ―We used indeed
to sit there in stations to a hearing, but any who listen
now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.‖
The entire Quran was descended together into the
First Sky. It was preserved in a Server of the Command
Station, with the related angels sheltered in a nearby
Fortress. In due time, both the verses of the Quran and the
angels were sent near the Earth by a Sakinah. From the
Sakinah, the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) in small parts. For this purpose, the movement of
the jinn was restricted at specific points in the sky.
If the jinn could see Gabriel or the angels carrying the
verses, they would easily understand that a Prophet
(pbuh) was soon to come. They would inform the
foretellers, and the foretellers would then relay it to the
Persian and Roman Byzantine emperors, who would
jointly order the killing of Arab babies during the
predicted period.
Even in the Holy Bible, which is full of prophecies,
there is no clear indication of the time of Prophet
Muhammad's (pbuh) birth. The Bible only mentions that
he would come from the desert and that his name would
be Ahmad; it also praises him. The Jews of Madinah
knew that the Last Prophet would come to Madinah, but
they were unaware of where and when he would be born.
686
 The jinn are concerned about the humans of their side,
as revealed by the word, ―And we understand not whether
ill is intended to those on earth, or whether their Lord
intends to guide them to right conduct‖
Why they are concerned?
Allah has created humans as His vicegerents, but they
are not vicegerents of God over one another; they are
vicegerents over the lands:

―Behold, thy Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I

am going to place in a land (ardi) a vicegerent."
They said, "Wilt Thou place therein one who will
make mischief therein and shed blood? While we
do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy?"
He said, "I know what ye know not."
[Al Quran 2:30]

The planet Earth is a land, Mars is a land, and Jupiter

is a land; the lands are scattered throughout the universes,
the Samawaat, and the Jannaat. Allah will place a human
in each land, as the above verse states: "Indeed, I am
going to place in a land a vicegerent." Most likely, He
will place one human in each group of lands, such as a
galaxy. There are approximately 170 billion large
galaxies in the visible universe.
Humans are the prime users of the lands. To an angel,
the lands are not necessary. For the jinns, the lands of
dark matter may be necessary, but not the lands of
baryonic matter. Has Allah created this vast universe for
nothing? He planned to create humans fifty thousand
years before the creation of the universe. He did not
evolve the universe without a just purpose.
687
 ―We created not the Skies and the Lands and all
between them but for just ends. And the Hour is
surely coming. So, overlook with gracious
forgiveness‖ [Al Quran 15:85]

Thus, a human is meant to be a vicegerent of God

over a galaxy in this universe (Samawaat), or over a
group of peaceful objects in the Jannaat.
No object achieves completeness without a human
being. A galaxy is a vast creation, and it has the right to
have a vicegerent of Allah:

―The Day We will ask hell (Samawaat / this

Universe), ―Are you filled to the full? It will say,
are there any more?‖ [Al Quran 50:30]

The jinns are suited for the Samawaat (this universe).

The Samawaat is their natural habitat. They are expected
to remain here forever, even after the Final Judgment.
They may find their rewards in the Samawaat, and there
may also be places of punishment for them.
Human beings are from the Jannaat and are expected
to return there. However, a part of mankind will remain in
the Samawaat as vicegerents of God over the galaxies.
They will experience pain due to the inherent nature of
the Samawaat, which is violent by nature. However, they
will evolve, and one day, they will become effective
vicegerents of God in their galaxies.

―…I will fill the Hell with jinns and men all
together‖ [Al Quran 11:119]
688
 ―…I will fill the Hell with jinns and men all
together‖ [Al Quran 32:13]

Who would not honor a vicegerent of God, even if he

is in punishment? He is entrusted with a domain, a full
galaxy. He is one who can call upon God and ask for
what he may need. And if God listens to anyone, it is
him, for he is God's vicegerent over the galaxy. Other
creatures can only praise God, not call upon Him for
something.
Therefore, the good, the bad, and the ugly jinns are in
a mode to help humans, as seen in the verses under
discussion, reflecting how deeply concerned they are:
―We used indeed to sit there in stations to a hearing, but
any who listen now will find a flaming fire watching him
in ambush. And we understand not whether ill is intended
to those on earth, or whether their Lord intends to guide
them to right conduct.‖
Finally, their concern matters little; what truly matters
is how much Allah is concerned.

Section 4 of Chapter 72 [Verse 11-15]: Finishing with the

Jinns

There are among us some that are righteous, and some the
contrary; we follow divergent paths. But we think that we can
by no means frustrate God throughout the lands, nor can we
frustrate Him by flight.
And as for us, since we have listened to the guidance, we
have accepted it; and any who believes in his Lord has no
fear either of a short, or of any injustice.
689
 Among us are some that submit their wills (to God), and
some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their
wills, they have sought out of right conduct; but those who
swerve they are fuel for hell-fire.

Section 5 of Chapter 72 [Verse16-28]: Preaching of Islam

in Makkah

If they had remained on the Way, We should certainly have

bestowed on them rain in abundance that We might try them
by that. But if any turns away from the remembrance of his
Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe penalty.
And the places of worship are for God. So, invoke not
any one along with God; yet when the devotee of God stands
forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense
crowd.
Say: I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not
with Him any.
Say: It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring
you to right conduct.
Say: No one can deliver me from God, nor should I find
refuge except in Him unless I proclaim what I receive from
God and His Messages; and any that disobey God and His
Apostle, for them is Hell; they shall dwell therein forever.
At length, when they see that which they are promised,
then will they know who it is that is weak in helper and least
important in point of numbers.
Say: I know not whether which you are promised is near
or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. He
knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted
with His mysteries, except an apostle whom He has chosen.
And then He makes a band of observer march before him and
690
behind him that He may know that they have brought and
delivered the messages of their Lord, and He surrounds that
are with them and takes account of every single thing.

the Quran.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 73 [Verse1-13]: Have Patience

O thou folded in garments! Stand by night, but not all night:

half of it, or a little less, or a little more. And recite the
Qur'an in slow, measured rhythmic tones. Soon shall We
send down to thee a weighty Message. Truly, the rising by
night is most potent for governing, and most suitable for the
word.
True, there is for thee by day prolonged occupation with
ordinary duties, but keep in remembrance the name of thy
Lord and devote thyself to Him whole-heartedly. Lord of the
East and the West; there is no god but He; take Him therefore
for Disposer of Affairs.
And have patience with what they say; avoid them with
gracious avoidance. And leave Me those in possession of the

692
good things of life, who deny the Truth; and bear with them
for a little while.
With Us are fetters and a fire, and a food that chokes, and
a penalty grievous.

Section 2 of Chapter 73 [Verse 14-19]: The First Blow

One Day the Earth and the mountains will be in violent

commotion. And the mountains will be as a heap of sand
poured out and flowing down.

Remarks:

Sound produces vibrations in matter. One might have

noticed that loud sounds cause doors and windows to
vibrate. In this process, sound energy is converted into
mechanical energy and absorbed. The absorption is
highest at the resonance frequency.
Sound has the potential to destroy. Very high sound
levels can damage the eardrum. Sonic weapons can
injure, neutralize, or kill. Sound is also used to disperse
crowds and torture prisoners. It is a clean and
sophisticated destroyer—a 'green destroyer'—unlike the
Atom Bomb, Daisy Cutter, Napalm, or Barrel Bomb.
It is difficult to produce sound powerful enough to
vibrate a mountain into dust. However, the Trumpet of
Israfil will destroy everything. This is a monumental
creation of Allah.
―Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.) said: That the
Messenger of Allah said that when Allah
completed the creation of the Skies and Lands, He

693
 created the Trumpet and gave the Trumpet to an
Arch Angel, Israfil (Rafael). He (Israfil) placed
the Trumpet in his mouth. From that time till
today he is holding the Trumpet in his mouth with
his eyes fixed upon the Arsh. He is waiting for the
order from Allah to blow the Trumpet.‖ [Hadith]

According to Hadith, Israfil was the first angel to be

created. He is so immense that if the water from all the
oceans were poured over his head, not a single drop
would reach his feet.
According to Hadith, when the first blow of the
Trumpet is heard, people will be engaged in their daily
activities. Initially, the sound will be faint, but it will
gradually intensify. At one point, the eardrums of the
people will burst. The sound will continue to grow
louder, and the mountains will disintegrate into dust due
to the overwhelming vibrations: ―And the mountains will
be as a heap of sand poured out and flowing down‘.
It is beyond our comprehension to imagine the
magnitude of the sound needed to reduce mountains to
dust, or how immense the Trumpet must be to produce
such a sound. Everything will be destroyed—angels,
jinns, and all other creatures will perish.
However, the sound will have no effect on the Kursi;
it will not reach the Arsh, the Araf, or the Jannaat.

We have sent to you an apostle to be a witness

concerning you, even as We sent an apostle to Pharaoh, but
Pharaoh disobeyed the apostle—so We seized him with a
heavy Punishment.

694
 Then how shall you, if you deny, guard yourselves
against a Day that will make children hoary-headed whereon
the sky will be cleft asunder? His Promise needs must be
accomplished. Verily, this is an Admonition; therefore,
whoso will let him take a path to his Lord!

Remarks:

Above verses are talking about the Day of Doom: ―Then

how shall you, if you deny, guard yourselves against a
Day that will make children hoary-headed, whereon the
sky will be cleft asunder? His Promise needs must be
accomplished.‖
Some people explain that the children will be hoary
headed due to the tension of Judgment. But, everyone
will be resurrected as a fully matured person; there will
be no elderly or children in the Land of Judgment.
The children will be hoary headed before the sound of
the First Blow will reach the Earth. Once the sound does
reach, they will soon die. The matter is complex and is
deliberately discussed in Section-7 of Chapter-30.
In short, the First (Innermost) Sky will disengage
from the rolling collapse of the universe, and its objects
will start falling directly toward the center, where the
Great Attractor is identified. Thus, the Arrows of Time
will reverse in the First Sky—the Sun will rise from the
west, and people will begin to remember the future.
Within forty years, a man of 42 will be a child of 2. Then,
the Trumpet will be blown.
The blow of the Trumpet will emanate from the
center of the First Sky, causing the Great Attractor to
weaken and the fabric of the First Sky to disintegrate.
695
 Soon, the Outer Skies, closing in, will take over the First
Sky, and the rolling collapse order of the universe will be
re-established. Then, the 2-year-old child will grow
rapidly, quickly reaching the age of 82, and when the
blow of the Trumpet reaches the Earth, he will die. That
will be the time when present cycle of the universe will
be passing through its final days.

Section 3 of Chapter 73 [Verse 20]: Read you, therefore, of

the Qur'an

Thy Lord does know that thou stand forth nigh two-thirds of
the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so does
a party of those with thee. But God does appoint night and
day in due measure; He knows that ye are unable to keep
count thereof. So, He has turned to you: read you, therefore,
of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you.
He knows that there may be among you in ill-health;
others travelling through the land, seeking of God's bounty;
yet others fighting in God's Cause—read ye, therefore, as
much of the Qur'an as may be easy, and establish salat, and
give regular Charity, and loan to God a Beautiful Loan; and
whatever good you send forth for your souls you shall find it
in God's Presence, yea, better and greater in Reward.
And seek ye the Grace of God; for God is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 74 [Verse 1-26]: People that Reject
Faith

O thou wrapped up (in a mantle), arise and deliver thy

warning! And thy Lord do thou magnify! And purify your
clothing and avoid uncleanliness. Nor expect in giving any
increase, but for thy Lord be patient and constant!

Remarks:

When attending an assembly for preaching Islam or

glorifying God, one should wear clean, pure clothing, free
from stains or bad smells (using perfume is
recommended), and ensure they are free from dirt.
697
 Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded that will be that
Day, a day of distress, far from easy for those without Faith.
Leave Me with the one I created alone. To whom I
granted resources in abundance, and sons to be by his side.
To whom I made (his life) smooth and comfortable, yet is he
greedy that I should add. By no means! For, to Our verses, he
has been refractory!
Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities! For he
thought and he plotted. And woe to him! How he plotted!
Yea, Woe to him; how he plotted!
Then he considered, then he frowned, and he scowled;
then he turned back, and was haughty, then said he: "This is
nothing but magic derived from of old; this is nothing but the
word of a mortal!"
Soon will I cast him into hell-fire!

Section 2 of Chapter 74 [Verse 27-37]: Nineteen over the

Hell (Samawaat)

And what will explain to thee what hell-fire is?

Naught doth it permits to endure, and naught doth it leave
alone! Darkening and changing the color of man! Over it is
Nineteen.

Remarks:

According to the above verses, 'nineteen' is over the Hell-

fire. What is this 'nineteen' (19)?
'Nineteen' is normally understood as 'nineteen angels'
for the next verse that state: ―And We have set none but

698
angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their
number only as a trial for Unbelievers…"
However, mentioning 'nineteen' as being over the Fire
suggests that there is something deeper to perceive:
In recent times, it is discovered that the Quran has a
relation to the number nineteen. Many important aspects
of the Quran are factors of nineteen.
The Quran was written by a Pen on a Protected Disc
(Lawh-Mahfuz). This 'Pen-Disc System' can be thought
of as a computer, which I refer to as the 'Central
Computer of the Universes', or CCU for short. I have
deliberately discussed the CCU in Section-9 of Chapter-6.
The writings of a computer should exhibit
mathematical order. However, man-made computers
operate on binary code, using 0 (zero) and 1 (one). These
are known as binary computers. The computers do not
round up unless instructed by the software.
But the CCU shows signs of 'nineteen.' It seems that
the CCU uses a form of higher-order mathematics. It does
not rely solely on the logic of True/False (0/1). The CCU
can think, communicate, and even ask questions. It is the
computer of Allah, who created the human brain, living
cells, and the genome code. It should be an
extraordinarily advanced computer. Therefore, it is likely
that when the Pen wrote the Quran, the rounding up by
'nineteen' occurred due to some higher logical and
mathematical reasons.
Therefore, 'nineteen' may indicate the CCU. The verse
under discussion mentions that 'nineteen' is over the hell-
fire, which may suggest that the CCU is over the hell-fire.
Angels working in the Fire are controlled by the CCU.

699
So, the punishment will be severe. Computer cannot show
mercy unless programmed to so:

"O ye who believe! save yourselves and your

families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and
Stones, over which are angels stern, severe, who
flinch not the Commands they receive from God,
but do what they are commanded."
[Al Quran 66:6]

In the above verse, 'the commands they receive from

God' refer to His commands that come through the CCU
and are monitored by the angels, day after day. Allah may
provide a general outline of punishment for the sinners at
different levels and forget them for a billion years. The
CCU will carry on:

It will also be said: ―This Day We will forget

you, as ye forgot the meeting of this day of yours!
And your abode is the fire, and no helpers have
ye!‖ [Al Quran 54:34]

He is Merciful and not likely to deal with the day-to-

day punishments in Hell. Peace be upon the Master of the
Universes forever.
Moreover, it is likely that there are nineteen
Command Stations, each commanded by one of the
nineteen Archangels. The Command Stations are most
likely distributed as follows:
a. 1 for the angels of Arsh
b. 1 for Sidratul-Muntaha, Illiyin and Sijjin.

700
 c. 2 in the Araf (one in the Eastern Araf, and one in
the Western Araf).
d. 8 in the Jannaat (one in each level).
e. 7 in this Universe (one in each Sky).
Total = 19
The angels cannot deviate from following the orders.
However, leading angels may have limited freedom in
their thoughts and actions, yet they follow the commands
strictly.

And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the

Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for
Unbelievers. In order that the People of the Book may arrive
at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith, and that
no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the
Believers. And that those in whose hearts is a disease and the
Unbelievers may say: "What symbol does God intend by
this?" Thus, does God leave to stray whom He pleases and
guide whom He pleases, and none can know the forces of thy
Lord, except He; and this is no other than a warning to
mankind.

Remarks:

The above verses mention 'nineteen' in relation to the

People of the Book. In the 1960s, as computer technology
was beginning to take off, an Egyptian named Rashad
Khalifa discovered the mathematical pattern of 'nineteen'
in the Quran.
The foundation of the code is the phrase 'Bismillah-
hir Rahman-nir Rahim'. In Arabic, it consists of 19
letters. The first word, 'Ism' (meaning 'Name'), occurs 19
701
 times in the Quran. The second word, 'Allah', occurs
2,698 times (19 × 142). The third word, 'Al-Rahman',
occurs 57 times (19 × 3), and the fourth word, 'Al-
Rahim', occurs 114 times (19 × 6). All of these
occurrences are multiples of 19.
This code is not limited to the first verse alone. In
many aspects, the number 19 is intricately related to the
Quran. Numerous such occurrences have been
discovered, forming an extensive list.
Allah design the Master Plan of creation in the
computer (CCU). As a result, the creations also reflect the
signs of nineteen.

Nay, verily by the moon, and by the night as it retreats, and

by the dawn, as it shines forth, this is but one of the mighty
(portents), a warning to mankind to any of you that chooses
to press forward, or to follow behind.

Remarks:

The above verses talk about the moon in the retreating

night and the sunshine during the day. How do these
relate to the context dealing with 'nineteen'?
The days are counted according to the Solar Year or
the Lunar Year, and these two systems also have a
connection to the number 'nineteen'.
―The 19-year time cycle is the standard by which the
lunar and solar cycles are brought into harmony. It is in
between these precise points in time that the harmony
between lunar and solar cycles is approximated by leap
years, and other fine-tuning adjustments provided for by
the calendar mechanisms. No man-made calendar
702
 maintains this balance. It is as if God uses this precise
alignment, every 19 years, to continually remind us that
His calendar is still dependable and ―on time.‖ An
observation of Church history shows that many events
and time periods have, in fact, shown undeniable 19-year
patterns.‖ – The Restored Church of God
When the People of the Book understand this, why
should they not recognize the Quran as a book from the
true Creator?

Section 3 of Chapter 74 [Verse 38-48]: Nineteen in the

Jannaat

Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds, except the
companions of the Right Hand in Jannaat. They will question
each other about the sinners: ―What led you into hell-fire?‖
They will say: ―We were not of those who prayed, nor
were we of those who fed the indigent, but we used to talk
vanities with vain talkers, and we used to deny the Day of
Judgment until there came to us which is certain.‖
Then will no intercession of intercessors profit them.

Remarks:

The CCU is the head of a super-giant cybernetic system

that covers the universes. It has automated the operations
of the angels.
The central hub of the cybernetic system is called
Sidratul-Muntaha. It is based on a massive server
computer, with satellite servers located in the Command
Stations scattered throughout the universes.

703
 It is possible to connect humans with this cybernetic
system, and the people of Jannaat will have access to this
facility. For such connections, they will not need personal
computers; instead, they will have Thrones from which
they can command views.
A person in Jannaat will simply wish to speak with
someone living in Hell (in a galaxy of this universe), and
a 3D vision of the person in hell will appear before him,
with the ability to communicate. Such discussions are
depicted in the verses under discussion, as well as in the
following verses:

―Truly, the Righteous will be in Bliss. On Thrones

will they command a sight: Thou will recognize in
their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss.‖
[Al Quran 83: 22–24]

―But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the

Unbelievers: On Thrones they will command.
Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for
what they did?‖ [Al Quran 83: 34–36]

The poorest in the Jannaat will have an area ten times

larger than the Earth. This person is merely a forgiven
sinner, while the truly great individuals will have vast
domains. Moreover, Jannaat is a separate universe
altogether, making it seem impossible to communicate
with someone living in this universe (Samawaat).
However, inter-universe communication will be made
possible through the cybernetic system, possibly using a
technique like teleportation.

704
Section-4 of Chapter 74 [Verse 49-56]: Conclusion

Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from
admonition? As if they were affrighted asses fleeing from a
lion! Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls
spread out! By no means! They fear not the hereafter.
Nay, this surely is an admonition, let any who will keep it
in remembrance!
But none will keep it in remembrance except as God
wills; He is the Lord of Righteousness and the Lord of
Forgiveness.

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day and I do call to

witness the reproaching soul (nafs). Does man think that We
cannot assemble his bones? Nay, We are able to put together
in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.

Remarks:

The fingerprint of each individual is unique. In Section-6

of Chapter-39, we discussed in light of the Quran that
Allah will resurrect a person with a Set of Double Helix

706
 DNA Molecules (46) he had on the Earth. Therefore, the
fingerprint will be the same.

questions: ―When is the Day of Resurrection?‖
At length, when the sight is dazed and the moon is buried
in darkness, and the sun and moon are joined together. That
Day will man say: ―Where is the refuge?‖
By no means! No place of safety! Before thy Lord that
Day will be the place of rest.

Remarks:

The universe will collapse into a Singularity (Big

Crunch). Subsequently, it will be resurrected to a state of
Thaqal (heavy mass) when the evolution will halted
temporarily by Allah.
The sun and the moon will be tightly held by the
super-massive black hole at the center of the squeezed
Milky Way galaxy, contained within the Thaqal. As

707
 mentioned in the verse: "and the moon is buried in
darkness, and the sun and moon are joined together‖.
The sight will be dazed due to the sudden resurrection
of all living creatures, including humans, when the Sun
and the Moon—and indeed, all the matter of the Solar
System—will be ejected from the darkness.
The matter of the Solar System, along with the
resurrected living creatures, will be moved through the
Super Space to the junction point of As-Sirat. The
Trumpet will be blowing at that time (Part 2 of the First
Blow). The matter will then come together to form the
Land of Judgment.
[The event is deliberately discussed in Section-6 of
Chapter-39]

That Day will man be told that he put forward, and all
that he put back. Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
even though he was to put up his excuses.

Section 3 of Chapter 75 [Verse 16-19]: Revelation of the

Verses

Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste

therewith. It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it. But
when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital. Nay
more, it is for Us to explain it.

Remarks:

1. In the Cave of Hira, Gabriel revealed the first five

verses, but the Prophet (pbuh) could not read.

708
 Gabriel then embraced him and produced a system to
insert the verses, as brain data (ruhs), directly into his
brain. The entry point of the data appeared as a swollen
muscle on his backbone just below the neck. This entry
point is called Mohr-e-Nobuat. Gabriel also implanted a
database of the Quran so that the verses were stored in the
proper sequence whenever a group would be inserted.
Receiving the verses directly into the brain was a
challenging process. Prophet (pbuh) would sweat and
appear as though he were losing consciousness. Despite
this, he used to remain anxious about forgetting the verses
and would try to memorize them by reciting at the same
time. So, it was said to Prophet (pbuh): Move not thy
tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it. But when We
have promulgated it, follow thou its recital.

2. The placement of these verses after the verses of the

Resurrection serves a purpose. It indicates that data can
be fed directly into a human brain.
With the soul (nafs) and a set of DNA molecules, a
man can be recreated with the same fingerprint, but he
will not be the same person if his memories are not
restored to his brain. Thus, the memories of each
individual are collected and preserved regularly:

―It is He who kills you (yatawaffakum) by night,

and He knows what you committed by the day.
Then He raises you up therein so that a term
specified is fulfilled. In the end, unto Him will be
your return. Then He will show you what you
used to do.‖ [Al Quran 6:60]
709
 Every night, the memory data of each person are copied
from his brain and preserved in his file maintained in the
Lawh-Mahfuz. After the resurrection, the memories will
be returned directly into his brain. He will then remember
all earthly affairs and be the same person.

3. The above verses finally say: "Nay more, it is for Us to

explain it‖:
By this, Prophet (pbuh) was discouraged to explain
the verses. He used to act on the basis of the verses. The
people learned by seeing the situations and practical
applications. One will not find a Hadith where Prophet
(pbuh) explained a verse. He was asked the meaning of
Kalalah (Chapter-4), but he did not answer, because he
was restricted to do so.
If Prophet (pbuh) explained a verse, it would be fixed,
and no further explanation would be allowed, where the
Quran unfolds with time; its depth is unimaginable. There
are many verses that could not be explained at that time,
because the science was not developed.

Section 4 of Chapter 75 [Verse 20-35]: At the Time of a

Rejecter‘s Death

Nay, but ye love the fleeting life and leave alone the
hereafter. Some faces that Day will beam looking towards
their Lord, and some faces that Day will be sad and dismal in
the thought that some back breaking calamity was about to be
inflicted on them.
Yea, when reaches to the collarbone, and there will be a
cry, "Who is a magician?" and he will conclude that it was of
710
parting, and one leg will be joined with another; that day the
drive will be to thy Lord!
And he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray, but on
the contrary he rejected Truth and turned away; then did he
stalk to his family in full conceit!
Woe to thee, yea, woe!
Again, woe to thee, yea, woe!

Section 5 of Chapter 75 [Verse 36-40]: Creator can Re-

create

Does man think that he will be left neglected? Was he not a

drop of sperm emitted? Then did he become a clinging clot.
Then did make and fashion in due proportion.
And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
Has not He the power to give life to the dead?

Remarks:

Each human cell contains 23 pairs (46) of chromosomes.

Among these 23 pairs, one pair is called the sex
chromosomes. In females, the sex chromosomes consist
of two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X
chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY).
The chromosomes of a sperm are haploid. So, some
sperms contain one X chromosome each, and some sperms
contain one Y chromosome each.
An ovum only contains the X chromosomes.
When fertilization occurs, if a sperm with an X
chromosome fertilizes the egg, the baby will be female
(XX). If a sperm with a Y chromosome fertilizes the egg,
the baby will be male (XY).
711
 The presence of the Y chromosome is decisive in
triggering the developmental program that leads to the
birth of a male. Therefore, it is the male's contribution that
determines the sex of the offspring. As the verses under
discussion state: ―And of him He made two sexes, male
and female.‖
So, this is a book from the true Creator, and He says:
Has not He the power to give life to the dead?

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 76 [Verse 1-2]: Formation of Perfect
Human Physique

Has come over Man a period of time, not he was a thing

mentioned. Verily, We created Man from a minute drop, a
mixture, We test him, so We created him hearing and sight.

Remarks:

The above verses refer to an important test: a minute drop

contains sperm, and the best sperm fertilizes the ovum to
form a zygote. Then, the testing of the zygote is carried
out by Allah to ensure that it will develop into a perfect
713
 baby. The verses indicate that special care is given to the
checking of hearing and sight.
When the chromosomes of the sperm and ovum fuse,
a specific genetic code is formed that determines traits
such as gender, eye color, hair color, and more. If the
formation of this code is not correct, Allah decides to
abort the pregnancy.
Miscarriage can occur for many reasons. As many as
50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, often before a
woman misses a menstrual period or even realizes she is
pregnant. The imperfect formation of the genomic code is
the primary cause of miscarriage.

Section 2 of Chapter 76 [Verse 3-22]: Reward

Indeed, We guided him the way whether be grateful and

whether be ungrateful. For the Rejecters, We have prepared
chains, yokes, and a blazing fire. As to the Righteous, they
shall drink of a cup mixed with kafur; a fountain where the
slaves of God do drink; making it flow in unstinted
abundance.
They perform vows and they fear a Day whose evil flies
far and wide. And they feed for the love of God the indigent,
the orphan, and the captive—we feed you for the sake of God
alone; no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks; we only
fear a Day of distressful wrath from the side of our Lord. But
God will protect them from the evil of that Day and will shed
over them a light of beauty and joy.
And because they were patient and constant, He will
reward them with Jannaat and silk; reclining in on raised
thrones, they will see there neither the sun, nor excessive

714
cold. And the shades of it will come low over them, and will
hang low its cluster of fruits, dangling low.
And among them will be passed round vessels of silver
and goblets of crystal, crystal-clear of silver; they will
determine the measure thereof. And they will be given to
drink there of a cup mixed with Zanjabil; a fountain there,
called Salsabil. And will circulate among them perpetual
young boys. If thou see them, thou would think them
scattered pearls.
And when thou look, then thou will see blessing and a
kingdom great.
Upon them will be green garments of fine silk and heavy
brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver,
and their Lord will give to them to drink of a wine, pure and
holy.
Verily, this is a reward for you, and your endeavor is
accepted and recognized.

Section 3 of Chapter 76 [Verse 23-26]: Obey the Quran

and Pray

It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages.

Therefore, be patient with constancy to the Command of thy
Lord and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among
them.
And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning, and
evening, and part of the night prostrate thyself to Him, and
glorify Him along night through.

715
Section 4 of Chapter 76 [Verse 27-28]: Fleeting Life
leading to Reformed Physique (Suitable for Hell)

As to these, they love the fleeting life and put away behind
them a Day hard.
It is We Who created them and We strengthened their
forms, but when We will We can change their likeness (with)
a change.

Section 5 of Chapter 76 [Verse 29-31]: Take a Path to the

Lord

This is an admonition; whosoever will, let him take a Path to

his Lord.
But ye will not, except as God wills; for God is full of
Knowledge and Wisdom. He will admit to His Mercy whom
He wills.
But the wrongdoers—for them has He prepared a
grievous Penalty.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 77 [Verse1-6]: Passing Days

By that sent forth one after another, and blow violently in

tempestuous gusts, and scatter far and wide.

Remarks:

The Sidratul-Muntaha is sending the angels in the groups

of 1000 years. They come down like the tempestuous
gusts. They are preserved in the Command Stations and
Fortresses of the Skies. Thus, the angels scatter far and
wide with the jobs to do.

Then separate them one from another, then spread abroad

a Message, whether of justification or of warning.
717
 Remarks:

In a Command Station, the angels and the commands

(ruhs), which come in groups of 1000 years, are separated
into groups of 1000 months and sent to their designated
job stations by Sakinahs.
Most likely, the verse is talking about messenger
angels that carried the Quran. The angels and the brain
data of the verses (ruhs) were grouped and sent near the
Earth by a special Sakinah. From the Sakinah, the groups
were sent to Prophet (pbuh) in a sequence.
[The system is deliberately discussed in Section-9 of
Chapter-6]

Section 2 of Chapter 77 [Verse7-13]: The Blow of Trumpet

and the Hour of Judgment

Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. Then

when the stars become dim, when the sky is cleft asunder,
when the mountains are scattered as dust!

Remarks:

The fate is determined, and the angels are coming in

sequence to monitor the destinies of living creatures. One
day, the final event will occur—the Blow of the Trumpet.
 The stars will grow dim due to the reversal of time
in the Innermost (First) Sky.
 Subsequently, the First Sky will be cleft asunder
by the First Blow of the Trumpet.
 The Blow will reduce the mountains to dust.
718
 [The matter is deliberately discussed in Section-7 of
Chapter-30]

And when the apostles are appointed a time.

For what Day are these are deferred?
For the Day of sorting out.

Remarks

Israfil will die while blowing the trumpet. In the final

moment, no one will survive in the universe (Samawaat /
Skies).
The universe will be revived to the state of Thaqal
(Heavy Mass), and the resurrection of the dead will
occur. The evolution of the universe will be temporarily
halted for the judgment and salvation.
The Land of Judgment will be formed and organized.
Humans will be grouped with their Prophets, and the
Prophets will be given the times of judgment.
There will be no intercessor. The intercession of a
human would be useless at that crucial time when the fate
of the endless afterlife would be decided—the intercessor
would speak only what Allah would want to hear, similar
to how people speak in front of a powerful person on the
Earth, such as a king.
Absolute judgment of a human is a complex matter.
Allah will judge, and any speech of a third person would
be nothing but disturbance. Some prophets will be
allowed to speak in certain cases. They will mainly pray
for forgiveness and request mercy for the people they
knew (whom they saw while living on Earth).

719
Section 3 of Chapter 77 [Verse 14-50]: Ah woe that Day to
the Rejecters of Truth!

And what will explain to thee what the Day of sorting out is?
Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth! Did We not
destroy the men of old? So, shall We make later follow them.
Thus, do We deal with men of sin.
Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth! Have We not
created you from a fluid despicable, the which We placed in a
place of rest, firmly fixed for a period determined? For We
do determine; for We are the best to determine.
Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth! Have We not
made the earth to draw together the living and the dead, and
made therein mountains standing firm, lofty, and provided for
you water, sweet?
Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth! Proceed to
that which ye used to reject as false! Proceed to a shadow
having three branches, no shade of coolness and is of no use
against the fierce Blaze. Indeed, it throws about sparks as
Forts, as if there were yellow camels.
Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth! That will be a
Day when they shall not be able to speak, nor will it be open
to them to put forth pleas.
Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth! That will be a
Day of sorting out. We shall gather you together and those
before. Now if ye have a trick, use it against Me!
Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
As to the Guards, they shall be amid shades, and springs,
and fruits—all they desire. Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's
content; for that ye worked. Thus, do We certainly reward the
Doers of Good.

720
 Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth! Eat ye and
enjoy yourselves a little while, for that ye are Sinners.
Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth! And when it is
said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" They do not so.
Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
Then what Message after that will they believe in?

Concerning what are they disputing?

Concerning the Great News, about which they cannot
agree.
Verily, they shall soon know! Verily, verily, they shall
soon know!

722
Section 2 of Chapter 78 [Verse 6-16]: Humans on the
Earth

Have We not made the land as a wide expanse and the

mountains as pegs?
And created you from pairs (double helix DNA
molecules), and we made your sleep rest.
And made the night as a covering and made the day as a
means of subsistence?
And built over you the Seven Skies, and placed a Light of
Splendor?
And do We not send down from the clouds water in
abundance that We may produce therewith corn and
vegetables and gardens of luxurious growth?

Section 3 of Chapter 78 [Verse 17-22]: Moving into the

Next Destination

Verily, the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed. The Day

that the Trumpet shall be sounded (second blow) and ye shall
come forth in crowds.

Remarks:

Humans will be resurrected in the Thaqal (reviving initial

universe at the state of heavy mass). The resurrected
humans and the matter of the solar system will be ejected
and moved to a safe distance in the Super Space, away
from the Thaqal. The Land of Judgment will be prepared
with the ejected matter. The trumpet shall be sounded
(second blow), and humans shall assemble for judgment.

723
And the Skies opened, and for them will be gateways.

Remarks:

The Thaqal (reviving initial universe at the state of Heavy

Mass) will be unrolling, and the Skies will be opening.
Seven Tracts (seven channels through the super
space) will link the opening skies (unrolling Thaqal) with
the Land of Judgment.
The tracks will have gateways on the Land of
Judgment.

FIGURE 78.1: Gateways, Tracks and Thaqal

The sinners will be compelled to move through these

gateways and tracks. The tracts will lead the sinners into
opening skies, sustaining the objects of hell (galaxies).

724
 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.

Remarks:

After the Judgment, the Land of Final Judgment will

disintegrate, and the broken pieces will fly back into the
opening skies. The pieces (mountains of matter) will
vanish into the opening skies, as if they were a mirage.

Truly, Hell is as a place of ambush—for the transgressors

a place of destination.

Remarks:

A human will move through one of the Seven Tracts like

a flying superman. Ultimately, he will reach his galaxy by
moving through a sub-tract.
As the Skies will be opening, the galaxies will be
reviving. A galaxy will catch the human, determined for
her: ―Truly, hell is as a place of ambush.‖
Each sinner will reach the galaxy determined for him.
He will be dragged by the guiding angel on his face.
Truly, hell is as a place of ambush—for the transgressors
a place of destination.

Section 4 of Chapter 78 [Verse 23-30]: Life in Hell

They will dwell therein for ages.

Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink save a
boiling fluid and a fluid dark, murky, intensely cold, a fitting
recompense for that they used not to fear any account, but
they treated Our signs as false.
725
 And all things have We preserved on record. So, taste ye;
for no increase shall We grant you except in punishment.

Section 5 of Chapter 78 [Verse 31-36]: Life in Jannaat

Verily, for the Guards, there will be in fulfillment of desires,

gardens enclosed and grapevines, companions of equal age,
and a cup full; no vanity shall they hear therein, nor
untruth—recompense from thy Lord, a gift sufficient.

Section 6 of Chapter 78 [Verse 37-38]: Argument is not

required

The Lord of the Skies and Lands and all between, Most
Gracious; none shall have power to argue with Him. The Day
that the ruhs and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none
shall speak except any who is permitted by Most Gracious,
and He will say what is right.

Remarks:

Many angels work in a series to monitor the fate of a

human. Fate-related orders come to the angels as ruhs
(electromagnetic command signals). The above verses
talk about these ruhs: ―The Day that the ruhs and the
angels will stand forth in ranks…‖
On the Day of Judgment, when the angels and ruhs
will line up behind a man, his history will be crystal clear;
no words will be needed, as stated in the above verses:
―The Day that the ruhs and the angels will stand forth in
ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by
Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.‖
726
 However, Allah will allow a person under trial to
speak, and that is very important; one may be forgiven on
the spot. Allah is answerable to none. He is Merciful Lord
of the Universes.

Section 7 of Chapter 78 [Verse 39-40]: Conclusion

That Day will be the sure reality. Therefore, who-so will let
him take a return to his Lord!
Verily, We have warned you of a penalty near, the
Day when man will see which his hands have sent forth, and
the Unbeliever will say: "Woe unto me! Would that I were
dust!"

727
Chapter 79 [Al Nazi'at THOSE WHO TEAR OUT]

Day, when a person will remember his earthly life while
standing on the featureless Land of Judgment, the entire life
will seem like an evening spent at a tourist spot.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 79 [Verse 1-14]: The Rolling Events

By those who tear out with violence, and those who gently
draw out. And by those, who glide along. Then press forward
as in a race. Then arrange the affair.

Remarks:

Some angels tear out with violence, while others gently

draw out from the Sidratul-Muntaha. They are sent down
in groups by the spacecraft (Raf Raf) that glide along the
channel to reach the Command Stations. From the

728
 Command Stations, they press forward in turns, racing to
their Job Stations.
The earthly affairs of living creatures are supposed to
unfold as usual, but the angels monitor and intervene
when necessary to fulfill the predetermined fates.

One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in

violent commotion.

Remarks:

In the sequence of events, one day the Trumpet will be

blown (the First Blow). It will be the Day of Doom.

Follows it the subsequent; hearts that Day will be in

agitation; cast down will be eyes.

Remarks:

Israfil will resume blowing the Trumpet as soon as he

will be resurrected on the Thaqal (reviving initial
universe in the state of Heavy Mass), because he died
while blowing it. This marks the Second Phase of the
First Blow.
The solar matter and the resurrected living creatures
will be ejected from the Thaqal. The ejected matter will
form the Land of Judgment in the Super Space. The Land
of Judgment will be smooth and plain due to the violent
blow of the Trumpet.
Due to the violent blow, humans will lose their
senses. The data of their memories will be inserted into

729
 their brains as they will be flowing with the solar matter
in senseless states.
The Trumpet will be blown again (the Second Blow)
when everybody will regain his sense, with the full
memories of his earthly life. He will feel as though he had
slept on the previous day, and after a regular night's sleep,
he is standing on the Land of Judgment. This is because
the data of the interim life, in Illiyin or Sijjin, will not be
fed into his brain.
The hearts will be filled with anxiety that Day, and
eyes will be cast down.

They say: ―What! Shall we indeed be returned to former

state! What! When we shall have become rotten bones?‖
They say: ―It would in that case be a return with loss!‖
But verily, it will be but a Single Cry, and behold they
awaken.

Remarks:

In the above verses, the 'Single Cry' may not refer to the
sound of the Trumpet. The Universe will be contracted to
the point where its matter will be annihilated. Only the
information (photons) and commands (force fields) will
survive, concentrated around a point of intense
gravitational force.
The gravitational force field is an elementary soul
(ruh) of Allah—He holds the birds in the sky, He causes
the Earth to rotate, bringing about day and night, and He
moves the planets and stars. He is the Sustainer. Thus, the
Universe will become a bright spot on His face (face of
nafs).
730
 Allah will reprogram the super-compact universe for
the Next Cycle. As soon as the universe is released for its
next birth, it will move into His right hand; it will enlarge
and gain mass (Thaqal), and the Resurrection of the Dead
will occur. The 'Single Cry' may refer to the sound of this
revival.
Then, the evolution of the Universe will be halted
temporarily for Judgment and Salvation.

Section 2 of Chapter 79 [Verse 15-26]: What a

Proclamation!

Has the story of Moses reached thee?

Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of
Tuwa: Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all
bounds. And say to him, ―Would thou that thou should be
purified? And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou should
fear Him?‖
Then did show him the great sign but rejected it and
disobeyed. Further he turned his back striving hard. Then he
collected and made a proclamation, saying: "I am your Lord,
Most High".
So, God seized him, and exemplary punishment (for) the
last and the first. Verily, in this is an instructive warning for
whosoever fear.

Remarks:

Our understanding of the universe is no better than that of

Pharaoh, who thought the God of Moses as a king like
him, ruling over the upper side of the blue sphere (the
sky). He instructed his minister to build a tall structure so
731
 that he could meet the God of Moses. However, he wisely
concluded that Moses was lying, as the king of the blue
sphere would not give so much attention to a tutored man
from the street.
We cannot truly comprehend the vastness of the
universe, nor do we have a clear understanding of its
origin and evolution. It is far beyond our capacity to
know its Creator, Sustainer, and Evolver—Allah, the
Most Knowledgeable, the Most High. And this universe
is merely His third creation. He has two other creations
far greater than this one: the Jannaat and the Mighty
Arsh. He is the Lord of the universes.
How powerful must one be to collapse the universe
into a point and then revive it, with all its entities
reinstalled!
In addition, the verses reveal the nature of a human.
He desires to be a lord. He may indeed be the lord of a
galaxy, but as a forgotten vicegerent of God.

Section 3 of Chapter 79 [Verse 27-41]: Complete Course

What! Are you more difficult to create, or the Sky? He has

constructed it. He has raised its thickness, and He has given
it order and perfection. Its night does He endow with
darkness, and its splendor does He bring out.

Remarks:

Allah has created and expanded the universe to the level

that its nights have become dark (relate the Olber‘s
Paradox, discussed in Section-1 of Chapter-6).

732
 And the land moreover has He extended; He draws out
there from its moisture and its pasture, and the mountains He
firmly fixed—for use and convenience to you and your
cattle.

Remarks:

He scattered the continents and formed the mountains

(relate the Plate Tectonics, discussed in Section-3 of
Chapter-13). He has made the land convenient to living
creatures.

Therefore, when there comes the great overwhelming

calamity, the Day when man shall remember that he strove
for.
And hell-fire shall be placed in full view for to see.
Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds and had
preferred the life of this world the abode will be hell-fire.
But, as for he who feared standing before his Lord and
restrained his soul from vein desires—then indeed Jannaat is
the refuge.

Section 4 of Chapter 79 [Verse 42-46]: An Evening Tour

They ask thee about the Hour, when will be its appointed
time?
Wherein are thou with the declaration thereof! To your
Lord is its finality. Thou are but a Warner for such as fear it.
The Day they see it—as if they had tarried but a single
evening or the following morn!

Frowned and turned away because there came to him the

blind man.
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might
grow? Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching
might profit him?
As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient, to him
do thou attend, though it is no blame on thee if he grows not.
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly and with
fear, of him was thou unmindful.
By no means! For it is indeed a message of instruction—
therefore let who-so will keep it in remembrance—in Books

734
held in honor, exalted, kept pure and holy by the hands of
scribes, honorable and pious and just.

Remarks:

Once, several chiefs of Makkah were sitting in the

Prophet's (pbuh) assembly and he was trying to convince
them to accept Islam, a blind man, Hadrat Ibn Umm
Makhtum, approached him. The Prophet (pbuh) ignored
him and turned his face. It was then that the Surah was
revealed.
The Prophet (pbuh) immediately called him back and
spoke to him.
The last paragraph of the above verses refers to the
Scribe Angels. They are the angels of the Arsh,
associated with the CCU (Central Computer of the
Universes, discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6).

Section 2 of Chapter 80 [Verse17-23]: Failing People

Woe to man! What has made him reject God? From what
stuff has He created him?
From a drop He has created him and then molded him in
due proportions.
Then does He make His path smooth for him.
Then He causes him to die and puts him in his grave.
Then when it is His will, He will raise him up.
By no means has he fulfilled what God has commanded
him!

735
Section 3 of Chapter 80 [Verse 24-32]: Provisions

Then let man look at his food: For that We pour forth water
in abundance, and We split the land in fragments, and
produce therein corn and grapes and nutritious plants, and
olives and dates and enclosed Gardens dense with lofty trees,
and fruits and fodder for use and convenience to you and
your cattle.

Remarks:

The above verses do not refer to regular rainfall, which

nourishes the low-lying green plains. They speak of hilly
terrains that produce corn and grapes, as well as deserts
and steppes that yield olives, dates, and enclosed gardens
(oases).
Thus, the verses refer to groundwater that slowly
flows through the permeable layers of the Earth,
nurturing the growth of trees in hilly terrains, deserts, and
steppes.

FIGURE 80.1: Ground Water

Rainwater seeps into the Earth, raising the level of

groundwater worldwide. The water flows through the
736
 permeable layers due to the land's layered structure and
the variations in ground pressure.
The permeable layer consists of fractured stones,
gravel, and sand. It is found worldwide, typically within a
depth of 750 meters. Even when the topsoil is dry, there
may still be a significant amount of groundwater in the
permeable layer. The estimated total volume of this water
is equivalent to a 55-meter-thick layer spread across the
entire surface of the Earth.

Section-4 of Chapter 80 [Verse 33-42]: Decisive Day

At length, when there comes the deafening noise: That Day

shall a man flee from his own brother and from his mother
and his father, and from his wife and his children. Each one
of them that Day will have enough concern to make him
indifferent to the others.
Some faces that Day will be beaming, laughing, rejoicing.
And other faces that Day will be dust-stained, blackness
will cover them. Such will be the Rejecters of God, the doers
of iniquity.

The Surah discusses the events leading to the Final Judgment

and provides a clear sign to affirm the divinity of the Quran.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 81 [Verse 1-6]: The First Blow of the
Trumpet

When the sun is folded up.

When the stars fall losing their luster.
When the mountains vanish.
When the she-camels, ten months young, are left
untended.
When the wild beasts are herded together.
When the oceans boil over with a swell.

Remarks:

We must consider the following realities in order to

discuss the verses:
738
 This universe (Samawaat) was created in the previous
cycle from a part of the Nafsin-Wahidatin (a Soul
Single / a nafs / a composite force field / GUT
Force+). A part of Nafsin-Wahidatin disintegrated
into three force fields (elementary souls / ruhs),
namely the Strong Nuclear Force Field, the
Electromagnetic Force Field, and Weak Nuclear
Force Field. These force fields primarily produced
hydrogen and helium, resulting in what is commonly
known as the Big Bang. For us, it was Big Bang-1. [It
is discussed in Section 4 of Chapter 21.]
 When Allah infused (istawa) gravitational force into
the smoke, the universe contracted, leading to the
production of heavier elements at least up to silicon,
which formed dust clouds and asteroids. [This is
discussed in Section-4 of Chapter-21.]
 The contracting single-sky-universe of the preceding
cycle underwent a Big Bounce and became organized
into seven-sky-universe of the present cycle. These
skies are waves of space, one nested within another,
like the layers of an onion. We reside in the First
(Innermost) Sky, while the Seventh Sky is the
outermost. [The Skies are discussed in Section-7 of
Chapter-2].
 The Big Bang-1 was spinning, meaning it had an
axis. Alternatively, when the universe of the
preceding cycle (First Cycle) began contracting, it
started spinning and developed an axis. This spinning
continued throughout the contraction and the Big
Bounce. As a result, the current seven-sky universe is
spinning and it has an axis. [This is discussed in
Section-7 of Chapter-30].
739
 The rate of spin decreased as the current seven-sky
universe expanded in diameter. However, for the past
five billion years, the universe has been contracting in
diameter, and the rate of spin has been increasing
from the Seventh Sky. [This is discussed in Section-7
of Chapter-30].
 The drive of contraction has reached the Third Sky.
Soon, the Second Sky will be affected, and the First
(innermost) Sky will begin to disengage from the
overall universe. The First Sky will then start
contracting directly toward the center, defying the
general 'rolling contraction pattern' of the universe.
As a result, the First Sky will enter an 'Independent
Contraction Phase' that will last for about 40 years.
[This is discussed in Section-7 of Chapter-30].

During the Independent Contraction Phase of the First

Sky, the following will occur, in light of the Hadith:
 The Sun will rise from the west, as the Cosmological
Arrow of Time will reverse in the First Sky due to its
direct contraction.
 Babies will stop growing in their mother's womb, and
people will begin to grow younger, as the
Thermodynamic Arrow of Time will reverse.
 Everything, from sticks to shoelaces, will express the
secrets (future). People will begin to remember the
future instead of the past, as the Psychological Arrow
of Time will reverse.
 The sound of the Trumpet will emanate from the
center (the Great Attractor) of the First Sky, and it
will take 40 years to reach the Earth. At that point,
people will die, and the First Sky will disintegrate,
740
 causing its objects to rejoin the overall contraction of
the universe. Israfil will die, and eventually, the
universe will collapse into a singular point.

Now, let us discuss the verses under consideration:

The verses describe the effects of the first blow in
reverse order—beginning with the last event and then
moving backward through the preceding events. Indeed,
they narrate events of reversed time.
Therefore, I will approach the verses from the bottom
up, starting with the last verse: ―When the oceans boil
over with a swell‖

Step 1:―When the oceans boil over with a swell‖

The trumpet will produce multiple frequencies, as it is

designed to destroy everything. It has many mouths
through which the sounds will be emitted.
Initially, the audible sound will not reach Earth, but
electromagnetic waves, including those up to the
microwave level, will. As a result, the water in the oceans
will heat up and expand, surging toward the coastal
regions in a manner resembling a tsunami. This is
mentioned in the verse: ―When the oceans boil over with
a swell‖
We observe a similar effect in a microwave oven. Our
food contains water molecules, which have north and
south poles, causing them to align with the
electromagnetic field. As the electromagnetic wave
changes, the water molecules rock back and forth rapidly,
and molecular friction generates heat. The frequencies
emitted by the Trumpet may produce a similar effect in
741
the oceans. It will kill the sea creatures by overheating the
water, but humans and other land animals will not perish.
This is the first visible effect of the blow.

Step 2: ―When the wild beasts are herded together‖

The blow will produce sound in the air. Initially, the

sound will be below the human hearing range, but many
other animals will hear it. They will be scared and will
seek refuge in human habitations, as mentioned in this
verse: ―When the wild beasts are herded together‖.

Step 3: ―When the she-camels, ten months young, are left

untended‖

Gradually, the sound will increase, and humans will begin

to hear it. They will be terrified and realize that the Day
of Doom has arrived. The mental state of a person during
that time is described in this verse: ―When the she-
camels, ten months young, are left untended‖.

Step 4:―When the mountains vanish;‖

According to the Hadith, initially the intensity of the

sound will be low, but it will gradually increase.
Eventually, it will become so loud that people's eardrums
will burst, and all living creatures will die. The increasing
sound will cause sustained vibrations in everything, and
the mountains will melt into dust. This is mentioned in
this verse: ―When the mountains vanish;‖
The same is mentioned in the following verse as well:

742
 ―One day the earth and the mountains will be in
violent commotion. And the mountains will be as
a heap of sand poured out and flowing down.‖
[Al Quran 73:14]

Step 5:―When the stars fall, losing their luster;‖

The stars will fall into the central super-massive black

holes of their respective galaxies. This is mentioned in the
verse: ―When the stars fall, losing their luster;‖
The sound of the first blow will emanate from the
Great Attractor, which will be weakened. As a result, the
galaxies of the First (innermost) Sky will scatter and
rejoin the outer Skies, closing rapidly at that time.
Eventually, all the objects in the Universe will
converge into one point.

Step 6:―When the sun is folded up;‖

The Skies (the Universe) will be compressed to the point

where matter will disappear; only the forces (commands)
and information (photons) will survive in a point of
singularity. Allah will reprogram the universe and release
it for revival. As it will gain mass, the Resurrection of the
Dead will take place. The resurrected beings and the
matter of the Solar System will be ejected from the
reviving Universe (Thaqal / Heavy Mass) to form the
Land of Judgment.
In the above verse, the 'folded sun' refers to the
'isolated matter of the Solar System.' It will be folded in
due time and ejected from the Thaqal to form the Land of
Judgment in the Super Space.
743
Section 2 of Chapter 81 [Verse 7-14]: The Final Judgment

When the souls are sorted out.

When the female buried alive is questioned: For what
crime she was killed?
When the scrolls are laid open.
When the world on High is unveiled.
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat.
And when the Jannaat is brought near.
Each soul shall know what it has put forward.

Remarks:

In this section, the verses are also presented in reverse

temporal sequence. The greatest event is described first,
followed by a backward movement in time to explain the
related events.
This structure is likely used to maintain the coherence
of the overall surah, although the section refers to the Day
of Final Judgment when time will no longer flow in
reverse.
Therefore, we will discuss the verses in reverse order,
starting with the last verse: ―Each soul shall know what it
has put forward.‖

Step 1: ―Each soul shall know what it has put forward.‖

A resurrected human will have no memory and will not

know any language. After resurrection, his brain will be
infused with memory data from the Lawh-Mahfuz, at

744
which point he will know everything. Mentally, he will
be the same person as he was on the Earth.
Humans will pray for the Judgment, and the
marshaling will begin. A written record of deeds (Amal-
Nama) will be given to each person, as mentioned in the
last verse of this section, ―Each soul shall know what it
has put forward‖

Step 2: ―And when the Jannaat is brought near.‖

Next, the Jannaat will approach the Land of Judgment. It

will be located in the western super space, beyond the
Barzakh, as mentioned in this verse: ―And when the
Jannaat is brought near.‖
The Barzakh will be thin at that time, like an
astronomical veil. Everyone will feel joy at the sight of
the Jannaat, as by then, people will no longer be certain
whose religion was correct. Mentally, they will be the
same as they were on the Earth.

Step 3: ―When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat.‖

The galaxies are the objects of Hell. At that time, they

will be within the compact universe (Thaqal), but they
will be ignited, and the Thaqal will be filled with fire. It
will be visible in the super space from the Land of
Judgment, as mentioned in this verse: ―When the blazing
fire is kindled to fierce heat.‖

745
Step 4: ―When the world on high is unveiled.‖

Next, the Arsh will descend. The Arsh is the realm above,
far larger than the universes. It will be visible above the
heads. This is mentioned in the verse: ―When the world
on high is unveiled.‖
The Kursi will descend upon the Land of Judgment.
From the center of the Land of Judgment, if one looks
toward the Kursi, the Jannaat will be on the right, the
Thaqal on the left, and the Arsh above the head.

Step 5: ―When the scrolls are laid open.‖

The Arsh holds the CCU (Central Computer of the

Universes), and its disc (Lawh-Mahfuz) preserves the
record of everything. The CCU operates through Sidratul-
Muntaha, and its tentacles will extend over the Land of
Judgment to support the trials, as mentioned in the fifth
verse from the bottom: ―When the scrolls are laid open.‖

Step 6: ―When the female buried alive is questioned: For

what crime she was killed?‖

The Balance will be set, and Allah in form will appear.

The Judgment will begin, as mentioned in this verse:
―When the female buried alive is questioned, ―For what
crime she was killed?‖‖

Step 7: ―When the souls are sorted out.‖

People will be sorted through Judgment; some will be

granted entry into the Jannaat, while others will be
746
 destined for Hell, as mentioned in this verse: ―When the
souls are sorted out.‖

Section 3 of Chapter 81 [Verse15-18]: A Sign of the Truth

So verily I swear by the receding ships disappear, and the

night as it departs, and the dawn as it breathes.

Remarks

The stars are not randomly scattered throughout space;

they are organized into systems known as galaxies.
In the Quran, a galaxy is referred to as 'Mawaqin-
Nujumi.' Here, 'Mawaqi' means 'houses' and 'Nujumi'
means 'stars.' Therefore, 'Mawaqin-Nujumi' translates to
'houses of stars,' which refers to galaxies.

FIGURE 81.1: Galaxy M 81

―But nay, I swear by the Houses of the Stars

(Mawaqin-Nujumi). And, indeed it surely a swear,
if you know great‖ [Al Quran 56: 75–76]

In the Quran, a galaxy is called ―sphere‖ as well:

747
 ―It is not permitted to the sun to outstrip the
moon, nor can the night outstrip the day. And all
are in a ‗sphere‘ (Milky Way galaxy) they are
floating.‖ [Al Quran 36: 40]

In the above verse, 'falakin' refers to a sphere or domain

of space. The sun and the moon are floating within this
domain. Therefore, it refers to the Milky Way galaxy.
In the verses under discussion, the galaxies are
referred to as ships, resembling space-ships that carry
stars and other celestial objects: "So verily I swear by the
receding ships (space-ships) disappear…"
Here, the phrase "receding ships disappear" refers to
galaxies that are moving away and gradually fading from
view.
There are approximately 200 billion galaxies in the
visible universe, each containing hundreds of billions of
stars that emit light. Light is eternal and cannot be
destroyed. If the galaxies were not receding, the light
from all the stars would eventually reach the Earth, and
every line of sight would end on the surface of a star. The
entire sky would appear as bright as the sun. Scientists
estimate that, if the galaxies were not receding, the
brightness would be forty thousand times greater than the
midday sun, resulting in constant, blinding light
throughout space—there would be no night, only an
unrelenting, sunlit brightness.
However, the galaxies are receding, causing them to
fade and eventually disappear. As a result, there are dark
nights and sunlit days on Earth.

748
 A German scientist, Heinrich Wilhelm Matthias
Olbers, observed this in 1823. He argued that the
darkness of the night contradicts the assumption of a
static, infinite, and eternal universe. No one had a
satisfactory answer to his argument, so it became known
as 'Olber‘s Paradox.' In reality, no one could have
imagined that such a vast universe could be expanding!
In the 1920s, American scientist Edwin Hubble
discovered that the galaxies were receding, providing
evidence that the universe was expanding.
And, the verses under discussion clearly state that the
universe has been expanded to create the darkness of
night.

―And the Sky, We constructed it with the hand,

and Me for expanders‖ [Al Quran 51:47]

However, in light of the Quran, the universe is

currently contracting in diameter from the outermost sky.
The universe is shrinking in size, but the space is still
expanding due to the rolling of the skies. Probably, for
this reason the expansion of the universe is said in the
Quran tactfully:

―What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the

Sky has constructed it? On high He has raised its
canopy, and He has given it order and perfection.
Its night does He endow with darkness, and its
splendor does He bring out.‖
[Al Quran 79: 27-29]

749
 The galaxies are so far apart from one another that by
the time the signs of the contracting universe would be
visible from Earth, the Sun will have risen from the west.

Section 4 of Chapter 81 [Verse 19-29]: Conclusion

Verily this is the word of a most honorable Messenger,

endued with power, with rank before the Lord of the Arsh,
with authority there, faithful to his trust; and your companion
is not one possessed.
And without doubt he (Muhammad) saw him
(Gabriel) in the clear horizon. Neither does he a withholder
of the unseen. Nor is it the word of Satan, accursed.
Then whither go ye? Verily, this is no less than a
Message to the Worlds, to whoever among you wills to go
straight.
But ye shall not will, except as God wills, the
Cherisher of the Universes.

Chapter 82 [Al Infitar THE CLEAVING ASUNDER]
Introduction

The surah discusses the Doomsday and the Day of Judgment

(Deen), and it touches upon the purpose of life.

Flowchart

Section 1 [Verse 1-5]: Dooms Day

Section 2 [Verse 6-9]: Purpose of Life
Section 3 [Verse10-19]: Day of Judgment

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 82 [Verse 1-5]: Dooms Day

When the Sky is cleft asunder,

when the planets (kawkab) are scattered,
when the oceans are suffered to burst forth,
and when the graves are turned upside down,
Each soul shall know what it has sent forward and kept
back.

Remarks:

The first (innermost) sky will be cleft asunder by the first

blow of the trumpet, causing the fabric of space to shatter.
The planets rotate around the Sun due to the design of
space-time. If space were to be shattered, the planets
would be scattered. Thus, the verses say: ―When the Sky
751
is cleft asunder, when the planets (kawkab) are
scattered,…‖
The Earth will fall directly into the Sun, crushing into
powder with a single stroke:

―Then, when the first blast is sounded on the

Trumpet and the earth is thrown off and its
mountains and they are crushed to powder at one
stroke‖ [Al Quran 69: 13-14]

The other planets of the solar system will also follow

the same fate.
The universe will continue to contract for a long time.
Eventually, it will collapse into a point. Thus, the
universe will become a point of infinite gravitational
force, holding all information (photons) and the
commands (force fields) of the past. This point can be
seen as the Big Crunch.
The point will be sustained by the forces, including
gravitational force, radiating from His face in form. Thus,
it will be sustained in His face of nafs.

―And call not besides God on another god. There

is no god but He. Everything will perish except
His own face. To Him belongs the command, and
to Him will ye be brought back.‖
[Al Quran 28:88]

―All that on it will perish. But will abide the Face

of thy Lord, Full of Majesty, Bounty and the
Honor.‖ [Al Quran 55: 26–27]

752
 The souls (nafs) of living creatures will be brought
from Barzakh (Illiyin and Sijjin), but they will have no
power in the point of infinite temperature and density
(Singularity/Big Crunch). This is the moment when Allah
will reprogram the universe to revive it.
The universe will be initiated again. It will move into
the right hand of His nafs and will attain mass. The
revival of the initial universe in a state of heavy mass is
referred to in the Quran as Thaqal (Thaqal means 'Heavy
Mass'). The Resurrection of the Dead will occur in the
Thaqal. Humans will grow like plants grow on the earth,
but at an accelerated pace. The evolution of the universe
will be temporarily halted at this state for Judgment and
Salvation.
The nafs (soul) is designed to revive the body in the
same sequence in which the body is formed in the
mother‘s womb. To resurrect a human, it will require a
set of double-helix DNA molecules (23 pairs). The
genomic code is a vast program that cannot be imprinted
in the nafs. So, a set of DNA molecules will be collected
from the remains of each individual. These DNA
molecules can survive in nature for several hundred
thousand years.
A human will be recreated using the DNA molecules
collected from his earthly body, ensuring that he cannot
deny being the same person when punishment is
pronounced. Even his fingerprint will be the same.
The verses under discussion suggest that space-time
will also play a role in the resurrection, as they state that
the graves will be turned upside down: ―And when the
graves are turned upside down; each soul shall know
what it has sent forward and kept back.‖
753
 The phrase 'graves turned upside down' may refer to
the reversal of the strip of space-time that encodes the
grave. The grave (a point on the land) preserves a
person‘s DNA molecules or a part of them. Therefore,
each soul (nafs) will certainly reach the grave.
When a nafs is attached to a set of DNA molecules
and the necessary support is provided, a human will grow
from the point of the grave.
Thus, the 'Day of Law' (Yawm-id Deen) will begin
when the universe is on the Face of God. He will have the
vision of the next universe and will design and program
the extremely compressed universe to develop each
object, even in the distant future. The present universe
(the ongoing cycle) is also designed in this way:
―The initial configuration of the universe may have
been chosen by God, or it may itself have been
determined by the laws of science. In either case, it would
seem that everything in the universe would then be
determined by evolution according to the laws of
science...‖
–Is Everything Determined by Stephen Hawking.
Allah is the Master of the Day of Deen. 'Deen' means
'Law.' He designed and established the natural laws and
configured the initial universe to evolve as desired.

―Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of

the universes; Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
Master of the Day of Law (Deen).‖
[Al Quran 1: 2-4]

Similarly, Allah will configure the next universe on

the next Day of Deen:
754
 ―And indeed, the wicked surely in hellfire. They
will burn it.
The Day of Deeni (Law)! And they are not
absent from it.
And, what can make you know what the Day
of Deeni (Law) is!
Then, what can make you know what the Day
of Deeni (Law) is!
The Day, not will have power a soul for a
soul, anything, and the command that Day with
Allah‖
[Al Quran 82: 14-19]

After the Resurrection, the Land of Judgment will be

formed with matter taken from the Thaqal, and the living
creatures will be moved there.

Section 2 of Chapter 82 [Verse 6-9]: Purpose of Life

O man, what has seduced thee from thy Lord Most

Beneficent? Him Who created thee, then fashioned thee, then
justified thee in whatever form (of nature) He willed—He
rides you. No! But you deny the recompense.

Remarks:

A human is a fragile creature, living in uncertainty. His

body and mind long for a connection with Allah, perhaps
through an extended elementary soul (ruh) of His nafs.

755
But, many are seduced by the satan jinns with earthly
distractions, causing them to forget Allah. Some even
worship idols, and become possessed by the jinns.

―A man is like a horse, whose back never remains

vacant, either Allah is riding on him, or a satan.‖
[Hadith]

But the Believers are close to Allah, and their

relationship with Him can be profound. This is indicated
in the following verses:

―Allah is the light of the Skies and Lands. The

parable of His light is as if there were a niche and
within it a lamp. The lamp enclosed in glass; the
glass as if it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed
tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west,
whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire
scarce touched it. Light upon light! Allah does set
forth parables for men, and Allah knows all
things.
In houses, which Allah has permitted to be
raised to honor for the celebration in them of His
name. In them is He glorified in the mornings and
in the evenings. They are such men whom neither
business nor trade can drive from the
remembrance neither of Allah, nor from regular
prayer, nor from the practice of regular charity.
Their fear is for the day when hearts and eyes will
be transformed‖
[Al Quran 24: 35–37]

756
 In the above verses, the human body is compared to a
glass, and the flame inside the glass is compared to the
light of Allah. For an elaborate discussion of this verse,
refer to Section-6 of Chapter-18.
On Earth, humans are in the process of development.
Here, the light of Allah floods the nafs lightly, as a
human is not yet capable of bearing full exposure of His
light. However, after the resurrection, humans will be
fully matured, and on the Day of Judgment, many will
shine like the Sun.
Though in earthly life, the light of Allah saturates the
nafs very lightly, it is necessary because it trains and
develops the nafs to sustain His light. It makes a man the
perfect home of God. In the above verses, such humans
are compared to houses: ―In houses, which Allah has
permitted to be raised to honor for the celebration in
them of His name. In them is He glorified in the mornings
and in the evenings. They are such men whom neither
business nor trade can drive from the remembrance
neither of Allah, nor from regular prayer, nor from the
practice of regular charity. Their fear is for the day when
hearts and eyes will be transformed.‖[Al Quran 24:36-
37]
The meshing has no limit, as expressed in the
following Hadith:

―When I love him, I am his hearing with which he

hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand
with which he strikes, and his foot with which he
walks.‖ [Hadith-e-Qudsi]

757
 When Allah loves any of His servants, He becomes his
hearing, seeing, hand, foot, etc. It is not metaphorical
hearing, seeing, hand, or foot. The Hadith is clear in this
regard: Allah becomes the hand with which he strikes;
Allah becomes the foot with which he walks. Thus, Allah
becomes his real hand and foot. However, this does not
make him God; rather, he becomes a 'Home of God.
When one becomes a 'Mumin' by accepting Islam,
one is connected to Allah through the mind (qalb) and
begins to feel divine love and mercy. While remaining a
'Mumin' and following day-to-day Islam is sufficient for a
person to achieve Jannah (paradise), one may strive to
advance further by demonstrating true love for Him and
by performing additional prayers in accordance with the
Qur'an.

Section 3 of Chapter 82 [Verse 10-19]: Day of Judgment

But verily over you are keepers, kind and honorable, writing
down. They know all that you do.

Remarks:

There are two angels with every human who record every
action of that person. This is the Amal-Nama (Record of
Deeds) of the individual, and it will be used as evidence
on the Day of Judgment.

As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss; and the

Wicked, they will be in the fire, which they will enter on the
Day of Deen (Law), and they will not be able to keep away
there-from.
758
 And what will explain to thee what the Day of Deen is?
Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Deen is?
The Day a soul (nafs) will not have power for a soul
(nafs) of anything, and command that Day with Allah.

Remarks:

So, the Day of Deen (Law) ends with the Salvation to the
Jannaat, and Downfall to the Hell.
On that Day, the laws and configuration of the new
universe (Samawaat) will be set. Thus, the universe will
be organized for the next cycle. It will contain the objects
of hell (galaxies).

Chapter 83 [Al Mutaffifin FRAUD DEALERS]

Introduction

The Surah provides scope to discuss the virtual worlds, Illiyin

and Sijjin.

Section 1 [Verse 1-6]: Fraud

Section 2 [Verse 7-9]: Sijjin

Sight

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 83 [Verse 1-6]: Fraud

Woe to those that deal in fraud! Those who when they have
to receive by measure from men exact full measure, but when
they have to give by measure or weight to men give less than
due. Do they not think that they will be called to account on a
Mighty Day, a Day when mankind will stand before the Lord
of the universes?

760
Section 2 of Chapter 83 [Verse 7-9]: Sijjin

Nay! Surely the book of the wicked is in Sijjin.

And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is!
A book inscribed!

Remarks:

The Sijjin and Illiyin are virtual worlds. The deceased

will live their virtual lives in these worlds until the Day of
Resurrection. Sijjin is for those heading to Hell, and
Illiyin is for those heading to Jannah.
I have discussed the Sijjin in the sequence below:
1. What is Sijjin?
2. Moving into the Sijjin?

1. What is Sijjin?

The above verses state that Sijjin is an inscribed book:

―And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is! A book
inscribed!‖
With the words, ―And what will explain to thee what
Sijjin is!‖ the verses emphasize that it is not just a simple
book; there is something deeper to understand within it.
In Section-9 of Chapter-6, we discussed how a Pen
wrote our fates in the Saved Disc (Lawh-Mahfuz). The
following verses indicate that a Motherboard is also
involved with both the Pen and the Disc:

―By the book that makes things clear, We have

made it a Qur'an in Arabic that ye may be able to

761
 understand. And verily, it is in the ‗Mother of the
Book‘ in Our presence, high, full of wisdom.‖
[Al Quran 43: 2-4]

The 'Mother of the Book' can give birth to a book.

Therefore, it is a highly developed Motherboard that
controls both the Pen and the Disc.
The Pen, the Disc, and the Mother Board collectively
form a computer. I refer to it as the 'Central Computer of
the Universes' or 'CCU' for short.
The Quran was written by the CCU; however, Allah
edited it, as indicated by the following verse:

―Allah does blot out (delete) or confirm (save)

what He pleases: with Him is the Mother of the
Book.‖ [Al Quran 13:39]

The Quran refers to a file of the CCU as a 'book'.

Therefore, the file of the Quran, which is preserved in the
CCU, is called a 'book'.
Similarly, Sijjin is referred to as a 'book,' as the verses
say: 'A book inscribed!' Therefore, Sijjin may be a file of
the CCU. However, based on its activities, it seems more
likely to be a folder or possibly an additional hard disk of
the CCU. It is a 'book inscribed,' which means that the
file, folder, or hard disk is programmed to perform
specific tasks.
Therefore, Sijjin is a 'book' (file, folder, or hard disk)
of the CCU where the Records of Deeds are stored.
On the other hand, we know from the Hadith that the
souls (nafses) of sinful deceased persons are stored in
Sijjin, which is located in the deep Barzakh.
762
 Therefore, Sijjin has two main parts, as follows:
 Part-1 is in a file / folder / additional hard disc of
the CCU. This part may also be a server computer
within the network of CCU, where the Records of
Deeds are stored.
 Part 2 is a domain in the deep Barzakh where the
souls (nafses) of the sinners are stored. This
domain is the virtual world of the dead sinners,
managed by the CCU or the assisting server
computer.

2. Moving into the Sijjin

After the death of a person, his soul (nafs) is taken to

Allah. According to the following verses, it converses
with Allah:

―Say: "The Angel of Death, put in charge of you,

will take your souls; then shall ye be brought back
to your Lord."
If only thou could see when the guilty
ones will bend low their heads before their Lord,
"Our Lord! We have seen, and we have heard.
Now then send us back; we will work
righteousness; for we do indeed (now) believe.""
[Al Quran 32:11-12]

But the soul (nafs) is a combination of unknown force

fields. While it may contain vast amounts of imprinted
information, it is unlikely to have the capacity to interact
with Allah directly. Therefore, the nafs is provided with a
virtual form, and supplied with memory data.
763
 As discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6, at first Allah
created a virtual universe in the CCU as His Master
Design. Adam and Eve, and subsequently each human,
were created in this virtual universe from digital double
helix DNA molecules.

"When thy Lord drew forth from the children of

Adam—from their back—their descendants, and
made them testify concerning themselves
(saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yea!
We do testify!..." [Al Quran 7:172]

Thus, the CCU contains the genome code for each

human, and it can produce a virtual version of him.
But a digital human cannot possess emotions, so his
nafs is entangled with the virtual form.
It also requires memory data, which is provided by
the CCU. According to the Quran, the brain data of each
human is collected every night by the angel and deposited
in the CCU:

―It is He who kills you (yatawaffakum) by night,

and He knows what you committed by the day.
Then He raises you up therein so that term
specified is fulfilled. In the end, unto Him will be
your return. Then He will show you what you
used to do.‖ [Al Quran 6:60]

With the genome code, nafs, and memory data, a

human is virtually created for the afterlife and presented
before God through holographic projection from the CCU
or a dedicated Server Computer when he says: "Our
764
Lord! We have seen, and we have heard. Now then send
us back; we will work righteousness; for we do indeed
(now) believe."
Allah decides his final destination, placing him in
either Illiyin or Sijjin.
The CCU or its server computer projects the human
into a holographic world where other deceased humans
are already living their virtual lives.
The CCU has the necessary software and systems to
maintain a person almost like a living human. The
individual can answer questions based on their past life.
The virtual people can converse with each other.

4. Nafs develops in the Sijjin

The nafs develops in the mother's womb alongside the

body. As composite force fields, the nafs becomes
imprinted with the information of the development. It is
designed and programmed to support the growth. At the
time of death, the nafs becomes fixed.
The nafs is composed of force fields. Once it
becomes fixed, it requires extreme heat for modification.
For example, a temperature of 1028 degree Kelvin is
needed to merge the Strong Nuclear Force Field with the
Electromagnetic Force Field. Such a temperature could
be achieved if one were able to compress the entire
universe into the state of the Big Bang.
The fundamental nature of the nafs does not change
after death, but it can grow tougher, larger, and stronger.
In the Sijjin, the nafs of a pagan undergoes significant
development in terms of size, strength, endurance, and
other attributes.
765
 In the Sijjin, the nafs exists without a material body,
and as a result, it develops a heightened sense and drive
for survival. The nafs is also punished by the extreme fire
of Hell to make necessary corrections, ensuring it
becomes perfectly fit to endure the violence of Hell.
The Sijjin does not develop the nafs to prepare a
person for the Jannaat; rather, it develops it to make him
fit for Hell. A soul from the Sijjin will resurrect a human
in the form of a devil-human, as a multi-dimensional
being thousand kilometers tall. According to the Hadith,
he will require the space from Makkah to Madinah just to
sit, and his teeth will be as large as the Mount of Uhud.
The memories of the virtual life are not added to a
person‘s memory record, nor are they recorded in the
Amal-Nama. Therefore, when a person is resurrected, he
will forget his virtual life and will feel as though one day
he died on Earth, and the next day he is resurrected, even
though millions of years may have passed in extreme
punishments.
Before coming to Earth, we had a virtual life in the
Master Design as well (in the CCU), where we
acknowledged that Allah was our Lord. However, we
have since forgotten it.
The Sijjin is located in the depths of Barzakh. The
void of Barzakh does not allow a nafs to escape.

Section 3 of Chapter 83 [Verse10-17]: Stain has covered

over their Qalbs

Woe that Day to those that deny—those that deny the Day of
Judgment, and none can deny it but the transgressor beyond

766
bounds, the sinner! When Our verses are rehearsed to him, he
says, "Tales of the ancients!"
By no means! But stain has covered over their qalbs what
they used to earn. No! Indeed, from their Lord that Day they
will be partitioned.
Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell.
Further, it will be said to them, ―This is that ye rejected as
false!‖

Remarks:

The qalb (mind) is located in the chest. It can be

described as a virtual brain, produced by a special ruh,
along with several muscles of the chest, nerves, and the
brain itself. The qalb is discussed in detail in Section-10
of Chapter-6.
As the above verses indicate, the qalbs can become
stained due to what they used to earn, including the
alterations cased due to the mounted satanic jinns.
Therefore, a mounted jinni stains and deforms the
nafs of an idolater. A deformed or stained nafs produces
erroneous emotions in the qalb (mind) and drives the
individual down the wrong path.
The harm to the qalb is discussed here because the
virtual punishments of Illiyin and Sijjin are meant to
purify and develop the nafs.

Section-4 of Chapter 83 [Verse18-21]: Illiyin

Nay, verily the Book of the Righteous is in 'Illiyin. And what

will explain to thee what 'Illiyin is?
A Book inscribed, to which bear witness those Nearest.
767
Remarks:

Illiyin is an establishment similar to Sijjin, but it is

reserved for those destined for Jannaat.
In Illiyin, the nafs (soul) is purified and developed so
that the person becomes fit for Jannaat. Some nafses are
punished for their earthly sins, allowing them to be
resurrected as sinless humans. This is known as the
punishment of the grave (Azab al-Qabr).
It is possible to punish a person in virtual reality
because the human brain cannot differentiate between
virtual reality and physical reality. For example, if one
imagines sitting on the edge of a high rooftop, one will
experience fear. Similarly, real-life pain is also a form of
virtual pain, as it is perceived through the signals
processed by the brain.
The Araf is located at the highest level of Barzakh,
and it is likely that Illiyin is situated just below it. Sijjin,
on the other hand, is found at the deepest level of
Barzakh.
The zooming power of Illiyin can extend beyond its
holographic realm when aided by Sidratul-Muntaha. As a
result, the nafses residing in Illiyin can visit the Earth,
often appearing to their relatives at the time of death. This
is why, at the moment of death, a Muslim may see his
deceased relatives coming to receive him. This does not
occur for a pagan. No nafs can come from the
holographic realm of Sijjin to welcome someone heading
towards it. The nafses in Sijjin are formidable giants, and
allowing them to leave would be too risky.

768
 [At the time of death, if a person says that such and
such deceased relatives have come to receive him, it
indicates that he is heading towards Illiyin (and thus to
Jannaat). This is a very good sign, one that occurs with
almost every Muslim].

Section 5 of Chapter 83 [Verse 22-36]: On Thrones will

they Command a Sight

Truly, the Righteous will be in Bliss; on thrones will they

command a sight. Thou will recognize in their faces the
beaming brightness of Bliss.
Their thirst will be slaked with pure wine sealed. The seal
thereof will be musk. And for this let those aspire who have
aspirations.
With it will be a mixture of Tasnim, a spring from
whereof drink those Nearest to God.
Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed, and
whenever they passed by them used to wink at each other.
And when they returned to their own people, they would
return jesting. And whenever they saw them, they would say,
"Behold! These are the people truly astray!" But they had not
been sent as keepers over them!
But on this day the Believers will laugh at the
Unbelievers—on thrones they will command; will not the
Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?

Remarks:

In the first paragraph of the above verses, it says, ―On

thrones will they command a sight‖ and in the last
paragraph, ―But on this day the Believers will laugh at
769
the Unbelievers—on thrones they will command...‖ These
points require discussion.
The verses are referring to the throne upon which a
person in Jannaat will command a sight: ―On thrones will
they command a sight‖. This sight is not of the
surrounding area, but of Hell, where the Unbelievers will
reside.
The Jannaat is a separate universe altogether, even
larger than this universe (Samawaat). On the other hand,
we know from the Quran and Hadith that the objects of
Hell are created within this universe (Samawaat).
Therefore, it should not be possible for someone in
Jannaat to observe those in the Samawaat without a
system in place.
It seems that the people of Jannaat will have
something akin to the Internet. However, they will not
need to operate a personal computer. Instead, they will
have thrones from which they can command view. If a
person wishes to observe someone in Hell, a 3D view will
instantly appear before him. The connection will be so
advanced that he will be able to see and speak with the
one in Hell without any delay or buffering.
In our understanding, such communication might be
possible through a teleportation technique. However,
there is knowledge beyond our comprehension, and there
may be other ways to achieve this as well.
The connection may be rooted through Sidratul-
Muntaha, which is the heart of a vast cybernetic system
encompassing the universes. This system is discussed in
Section-9 of Chapter-6.

Chapter 84 [Al Inshiqaq THE RENDING
ASUNDER]

Introduction

In this Surah, humans are called to the True Path.

A human develops in stages. A person who rejects the
Quran is ultimately harming himself, as he is heading toward
a goal he will not want to reach in the end.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 84 [Verse 1-5]: Resurrection in the
Reviving Universe

When the sky is rent asunder and hearkens to its Lord and it
must needs.
And when the Land is extended, and casts forth what is
within it and becomes empty and hearkens to its Lord and it
must needs.

Remarks:

The Universe will be rolled up and compressed to the

point where matter is annihilated. However, the
771
 information (photons) and commands (force fields) will
survive.
Allah will redesign and reprogram the super-
contracted universe to evolve once again. When the
universe is released, it will expand and reach the state of
Thaqal (Heavy Mass), at which point evolution will be
temporarily halted for the Resurrection, Judgment, and
Salvation.
The Thaqal will cast forth the resurrecting creatures
and the matter of solar system to produce the Land of
Judgment in the Super Space. It will hearken to its Lord,
because it will be programmed to do so.

Section 2 of Chapter 84 [Verse 6-15]: Handing over of the

Record of Deeds

O thou man! Verily, thou are ever toiling on towards thy

Lord, painfully toiling, but thou shall meet Him.
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand, soon
will his account be taken by an easy reckoning, and he will
turn to his people, rejoicing!
But he who is given his Record behind his back, soon will
he cry for perdition, and he will enter a blazing fire. Truly,
did he go about among his people rejoicing! Truly, did he
think that he would not have to return! Nay, nay! For his
Lord was watchful of him!

Section 3 of Chapter 84 [Verse 16-25]: Development in

Stages

So, I do call to witness the ruddy glow of sunset, the night

and its homing, and the moon in her fullness; ye shall surely
772
embark from stage to stage. What then is the matter with
them that they believe not? And when the Qur'an is read to
them they fall not prostrate. But on the contrary, the
Unbelievers reject. But God has full knowledge of what they
secrete.
So, announce to them a penalty grievous, except to those
who believe and work righteous deeds; for them is a reward
that will never fail.

Remarks:

Allah could have created everything all at once, but He

chose not to. Instead, He has developed everything
through systematic processes, ensuring that everything is
firmly established in the nature, ultimately evolved by
Him.
Humans also develop in stages. While we do not
know the final form of humanity, humans are created to
be God's vicegerents over the galaxies of the Samawaat
and the domains of the Jannaat.
In the process of development, life on Earth is the
most crucial phase. For proper development, one must
believe in God, the Last Day, and perform righteous
deeds.
The virtual life in Illiyin or Sijjin represents the next
stage of development. In this virtual realm, the souls
(nafses) will undergo corrections and improvements. The
process of correction involves pain, known as the
'Punishment of the Grave'.
For a human, resurrection is the true birth, because
after it, they will never die. Even after resurrection, their

773
improvement will continue, though it will be very slow.
One day, Hell will become a home for the hell-dwellers.

―If, then, they have patience, the fire will be a

home for them! And if they beg to be received
into favour—into favour will they not be received.
And We have destined for them intimate
companions, who made alluring to them what was
before them and behind them, and the sentence
among the previous generations of Jinns and men,
who have passed away, is proved against them;
for they are utterly lost.‖
[Al Quran 41: 24-25]

and declares severe punishment for those who persecute
them.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 85 [Verse 1-9]: Fortress

By the sky, the Fortresses.

By the Promised Day, and witness, and what is witnessed.

Remarks:

Angels descend to Earth to monitor events related to

living creatures. They do not directly visit workplaces;
instead, they come through special objects.

―Allah is He Who created Seven Skies and the

lands an equivalent. Through the midst of them
descends His command that ye may know that

775
 Allah has power over all things, and that
comprehends all things in knowledge.‖
[Al Quran 65:12]

According to the above verse, the Commands of Allah are

descended through seven special lands, positioned in
Seven Skies. I call these lands (astral objects) ―Command
Stations‖. There is one Command Station in each Sky. In
the Quran, a Command Station is referred to as a 'Lofty
Station':

―Also mention in the Book the case of Idris: He

was a man of truth, a prophet: And We raised him
to a Lofty Station‖ [Al Quran 19:56-57]

During the Miraj (Night Journey), the Prophet (pbuh)

visited different prophets in the Lofty Stations of the
Skies.
A Fortress is a star or star-like object associated with
a Command Station / Lofty Stations, where the
descending angels are temporarily accommodated. There
are many Fortresses under each Command Station.

―It is We who have set out Fortresses in the Skies

and made them fair-seeming to beholders, and We
have guarded them from every satans accursed.
But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued
by a flaming fire, bright‖ [Al Quran 15: 16–18]

In the Fortresses, the angels wait for their turn to

carry out their duties. Their forms vary according to the
nature of their tasks. Thus, by observing the angels, the
776
 near future can be discerned. The satanic jinns attempt to
learn the future by watching and listening to the angels
residing in the Fortresses.
Angels are created from light, which is why they are
stationed in stars, where they can remain energetic. Sirius
is one such star.

That He is the Lord of Sirius (the brightest visible

star in the night sky).
And that it is He Who destroyed the ancient
'Ad‘.
And Thamud, nor gave them a lease of
perpetual life.
And before them the people of Noah, for that
they were most unjust and most insolent
transgressors.
And He destroyed the overthrown cities.
[Al Quran 53: 49–53]

The above verses discuss the annihilated nations after

mentioning that Allah is the Lord of Sirius. It is likely
that Sirius is a Fortress harboring the angels of
destruction.
After completing their missions, the angels return to
the Retiring Fortresses as witnesses. The Prophets and
Al-Muttaqin are also considered witnesses.

Woe to the makers of the pit! Fire supplied with fuel,

when they were sitting near it, and they witnessed that they
were doing against the Believers.

777
 Remarks:

The incident took place in Southern Arabia around 523

CE. Dhu Nuwas, the Jewish king of Yemen, captured
Najran, which was inhabited by many Christians. He
attempted to eliminate Christianity by forcing its
followers to convert to Judaism. When the Christians
refused, a large number of them were burned in a ditch of
fire.

And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that

they believed in God, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!
Him, to Whom belongs the dominion of the Skies and Lands!
And God is Witness to all things.

Section 2 of Chapter 85 [Verse 10-16]: Persecuting

Believers

Those, who persecute the Believers, men and women, and do

not turn in repentance will have the penalty of hell; they will
have the penalty of the burning fire.
For those who believe and do righteous deeds will be
Jannaat, beneath which rivers flow; that is the great salvation.
Truly, strong is the grip of thy Lord. It is He Who creates
from the very beginning, and He can restore.
And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness,
Owner of the Glorious Arsh, Doer of all that He intends.

778
Section 3 of Chapter 85 [Verse 17-22]: Conclusion

Has the story reached thee of the Forces of Pharaoh and the
Thamud? And yet the Unbelievers are rejecting! But God
does encompass them from behind!
Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an in Lawh-Mahfuz!

Chapter 86 [Al Tariq THE STRIKER]
Introduction

The Surah highlights the potential of humans as the

vicegerents of God.

Flowchart

Section 1 [Verse 1-10]: The Striker

Section 2 [Verse 11-17]: Ensuing Reality

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 86 [Verse1-10]: The Striker

By the Sky, and the Striker.

And what will explain to thee what the Striker is?
The Star, the Piercing—that every soul greedily over her
is a protector.

Remarks:

The above verses may refer to stars that can strike and
pierce, possibly alluding to neutron stars, or potentially to
stars made of anti-matter. It may also refer to tiny black
holes.
Imagine a planet. Now, if a tiny black hole were to be
thrown onto that planet, it would pierce through it. The
intense gravitational pull of the black hole could cause
the planet to explode.
780
 ―If a black hole would have the mass of a mountain
compressed into less than a million millionth of an inch,
the size of the nucleus of an atom! If you had one of these
black holes on the surface of the Earth, there would be no
way to stop it from falling through the floor to the center
of the Earth. It would oscillate through the Earth and
back, until eventually it settled down at the center.‖
– A Brief History of Time by S. W Hawking.
Therefore, the above verses may be referring to black
holes, neutron stars, or potentially stars made of anti-
matter. But why should every soul (every human) be
greedy for such things?
Actually, the verses are referring to every person in
Hell. A human will be the owner of an entire galaxy, and
he will be the vicegerent of God over that galaxy.
Naturally, he would desire to gain control over it. But
how could a human ever have control over a neutron star
or a black hole?
Currently, we live on a small planet, under trial, thus
are not yet empowered as vicegerents of God. But, after
the Final Judgment, a human will be alone in a galaxy,
free to do whatever he desires. At that time, the jinns,
created from anti-matter, will be his intimate friends and
helpers.
Moreover, a human may possess dormant qualities
that develop over time. Those in Hell will live forever.
The soul (nafs) of Prophet David, for example, could
influence nature—his emotions would spread to his
surroundings, and even the mountains would sing with
him. Solomon had the ability to control jinns, understand
animals, and command the wind. There was also a man in

781
Solomon's court who could bring the throne of Bilqis in
the blink of an eye:

―Said an 'Ifrit of the Jinns: "I will bring it to thee

before thou rise from thy council: indeed I have
full strength for the purpose, and may be trusted.
Said one who had knowledge of the book:
"I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an
eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly
before him, he said: "This is, by the grace of my
Lord, to test me whether I am grateful or
ungrateful! And if any is grateful, truly his
gratitude is for his own soul; but if any is
ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs,
Supreme in Honour!‖
[Al Quran 27:39-40]

A human nafs is a combination of unknown force

fields, while a neutron star or a black hole represents a
point of intense force fields. A matured nafs may be
capable of influencing such objects. If a person gains
control over them, it would be akin to having the power
of an atom bomb in his hands—just a small piece of anti-
matter could destroy an asteroid or a planet on a collision
course. Such energy could also be harnessed as fuel to
propel a spaceship.
In an endless life, a human would do many things that
are beyond our current imagination, given our limited
frame of mind.
However, a human would never be able to gain
control over the central super-massive black hole of his
galaxy, as it is essential for sustaining the galaxy itself. It
782
 will remain under the control of the CCU through the
angels (the CCU is discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6).
Moreover, Allah is the Sustainer and Evolver of all inert
creations within the universes. Nothing can happen
without His will.

―Soon will I cast him into hell-fire! And what will

explain to thee what hell-fire is? Naught doth it
permits to endure, and naught doth it leaves alone!
Darkening and changing the color of man! Over it
are Nineteen. And We have set none but angels as
guardians of the fire‖ [Al Quran 74: 26–31]

Now let man but think from what he is created! He is

created from a drop emitted, proceeding from between the
backbone and the ribs. Surely, is able to bring him back! The
Day that the things secret will be tested; will have no power,
and no helper.

Section-2 of Chapter 86 [Verse11-17]: Ensuing Reality

By the Sky that returns.

And by the Land that opens out.

Remarks:

The sky surrounds our spherical Earth, so the 'returning

sky' refers to the contracting universe. The universe is
rotating around its axis and contracting in diameter from
its outer boundary (the Seventh Sky). Thus, when the
verses speak of the skies returning, they are referring to

783
 this process of cosmic contraction: ―By the Sky that
returns.‖
Finally, all the skies will be rolled up like a scroll,
contracting into a state of super-dense singularity (Big
Crunch).
Allah will reprogram and re-initiate the collapsed
universe. The super-contracted universe will unfold,
forming a super-massive object (Thaqal). It is the land
that will open out, as the verses say: ―And by the Land
that opens out.‖
The resurrection will occur in the Thaqal. The
resurrected creatures and the matter of the solar system
will be ejected from the Thaqal to form the Land of
Judgment in the Super Space.
The people of the Jannaat will be salvaged.
The people of the Samawaat (this universe) will be
pushed back into the Thaqal. The Thaqal will evolve to
form the universe again. Eventually, each human will
reach his galaxy.
Thus, the people will come to know the Strikers in
course of time.

Behold this is the Word that distinguishes; it is not a thing

for amusement. As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
and I am planning a scheme. Therefore, grant a delay to the
Unbelievers; give respite to them gently.

Section 1 of Chapter 87 [Verse1-5]: Guidance to Humans

Glorify the name of thy Lord, the Most High.

The One Who created, then proportioned.
One Who empowered, then guided.
And One Who brings out the pasture, and makes it dark
stubble.

Section 2 of Chapter 87 [Verse 6-13]: Preaching the

Guidance

We will make you declare, so thou shall not forget, except as

God wills; for He knows what is manifest and what is hidden.
Therefore, give admonition in case the admonition
profits. The admonition will be received by those who fear.
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones who
785
will burn the Great Fire, in which they will then neither die
nor live.

Remarks:

In light of the Quran and Hadith, I have identified the

objects of Hell as the galaxies of this universe. A human
will live on a planet in his galaxy, where there will be
trees called Zukkum, boiling water, and poisonous insects
and snakes. Yet, it will be a life, because the person in
Hell will be robust and meant to survive.
But there are objects with great fires, such as black
holes with accretion disks, pulsating stars, and quasars. A
person who falls into the Great Fire will be in a state
between life and death—neither truly alive nor truly dead.

Section 3 of Chapter 87 [Verse 14-19]: Conclusion

But those will prosper who purify themselves and glorify the
name of their Guardian-Lord and connects.
Nay, ye prefer the life of this world, but the Hereafter is
better and more enduring. And this is in the books of the
earliest, the books of Abraham and Moses.

Chapter 88 [Al Ghashiyah THE OVERWHELMING]

The Surah warns people about the hostility of the Samawaat

and calls on them to accept the Guidance of Allah in order to
return to their original home, Jannaat.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 88 [Verse 1-16]: Samawaat and
Jannaat

Has come to you news, the overwhelming! Faces that Day

will be humbled, laboring, weary the while they enter the
blazing fire, the while they are given to drink of a boiling hot
spring. No food will there be for them but a bitter thorny
plant, which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

Remarks:

The verses discuss the objects of Hell, which are located

in the Samawaat (this universe). They do not produce
good food or drink..
The Samawaat contains five times more dark matter
than regular matter. It is suitable for the jinn and other
787
 universal anti-creatures, which are made of anti-matter.
This is their original home.

Faces that Day will be joyful pleased with their striving—

in a Jannaat on the high where they shall hear no vanity.
Therein will be a bubbling spring. Therein will be thrones
raised on high, goblets placed, and cushions set in rows, and
rich carpets spread out.

Section 2 of Chapter 88 [Verse 17-26]: The Punishment?

Do they not look at the camels, how they are made?

And at the sky, how it is raised high?
And at the mountains, how they are fixed firm?
And at the earth, how it is spread out?

Remarks:

The Samawaat originated as a small entity and has

expanded over billions of years, making the nights dark.
The Earth has been made suitable for creatures like us
through a long process of evolution. Animals have
evolved to support our way of life. The above verses give
the example of the camel, which has been specially
designed for the people who live in the desert.
However, only the Earth has been developed to serve
as the home for Adam's exile. Other planets are hostile.
The Samawaat, by nature, is hostile to humans. Allah
would not change its nature, as it is suitable for the
original universal creatures—the jinn and their supporting
anti-creatures.

788
 Therefore, do thou give admonition; for thou are one to
admonish; thou are not one to manage affairs.
But if any turns away and rejects God, God will punish
him with a mighty punishment; for to Us will be their return,
then it will be for Us to call them to account.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 89 [Verse1-5]: Profitable times for
Prayer

By the break of day, by the nights twice five, by the even and
odd, and by the night when it passes away—is there in these
an adjuration for those who understand?

Section 2 of Chapter 89 [Verse 6-14]: When People are

given More

See thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad of the Iram with
lofty pillars, the like of which were not produced in the land,
790
and with the Thamud who cut out rocks in the valley, and
with Pharaoh, lord of stakes?
These transgressed beyond bounds in the lands and
heaped therein mischief.
Therefore, did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of
diverse chastisements; for thy Lord is on a watch-tower.

Section 3 of Chapter 89 [Verse 15-20]: When People are

given Less

Now, as for man, when his Lord tries him giving him honor
and gifts then he says, "My Lord has honored me."
But when He tries him restricting his subsistence for him
then he says, "My Lord has humiliated me!"
Nay, nay! But ye honor not the orphans! Nor do ye
encourage one another to feed the poor!
And ye devour inheritance, all, with greed.
And ye love wealth with inordinate love!

Section 4 of Chapter 89 [Verse 21-26]: Sorrow in the End

Nay! When the Land is pounded to powder and thy Lord

comes, and His angels, rank upon rank; and Hell that Day is
brought—on that Day will man remember, but how will that
remembrance profit him?

Remarks:

After the universe begins to revive from the Big Crunch

and gain mass (Thaqal), Israfil will be resurrected and
will immediately resume blowing the Trumpet, as he died
while blowing it (Part-2 of the First Blow). All
791
 resurrected creatures will lose their senses. Due to the
extreme sound of the Trumpet, the solar matter ejected
from the Thaqal (Heavy Mass) will be reduced to powder.
The powdered matter will then come together to form the
Land of Judgment. The Land of Judgment will be flat and
smooth; it will appear as a disc floating in Super Space.

He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth for my

Life!" For that Day His chastisement will be such as none can
inflict. And His bonds will be such as none can bind.

Section 5 of Chapter 89 [Verse 27-30]: Successful are those

that are satisfied with God

O nafs (soul) in rest and satisfaction! Come back thou to thy

Lord well pleased, and well pleasing unto Him! Enter thou
then among My devotees! Yea, enter thou My Jannaat!

Struggle

I do call to witness this city; and thou are a freeman of this

city, and parent, and child. Verily, We have created man into
toil and struggle.
Thinks he that none has power over him? He may say:
Wealth have I squandered in abundance!
Thinks he that none beholds him? Have We not made for
him a pair of eyes, and a tongue, and a pair of lips? And
shown him the two highways? But he has made no haste on
the path that is steep.

Section 2 of Chapter 90 [Verse 12-20]: The Path Steep

And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?

Freeing the bondman, or the giving of food in a day of
privation to the orphan with claims of relationship, or to the
793
indigent in the dust. Then will he be of those who believe,
and enjoin patience, and enjoin deeds of kindness and
compassion. Such are the Companions of the Right Hand.
But those who reject Our verses, they are the Companions
of the Left Hand. On them will be fire vaulted over.

Chapter 91 [Al Shams THE SUN]
Introduction

It is a Surah about the Nafs (soul).

Flowchart

Section 1 [Verse 1-10]: Nafs (Soul)

Section 2 [Verse 11-15]: Thamud were Obliterated

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 91 [Verse 1-10]: Nafs (Soul)

By the sun and his splendor—by the moon as she follows

him.
By the day as it shows up glory—by the night as it
conceals it.
By the sky and Who constructed it—and the lands, and
by Who spread it.
By the nafs (soul) and Who proportioned it—and He
inspired it its wickedness and its righteousness. Truly, he
succeeds that purifies it, and he fails that buries it!

Remarks:

The nafs is one of the two souls a human being. It is the

basic soul. A human nafs is a combination of unknown
force fields (elementary souls/ruh). These force fields are
the sources of emotions and primarily influence the body
795
through the mind and brain. For example, anger may be
visible on one's face, but the emotion is rooted in a force
field of the nafs. A person without a nafs would resemble
an emotionless robot, like an artificial intelligence.
Another soul is a special ruh (elementary soul /
unknown force field) that is directly given by God after a
human's birth. It provides the field of his mind (Qalb /
virtual brain).
[The nafs and the ruh are deliberately discussed in
Section-10 of Chapter-6].
Allah has proportioned the nafs with different types of
force fields in such a way that it maintains balanced
nature of the human. However, he can rise in either
wickedness or righteousness.
The verse under discussion also applies to the soul of
an atom. Three force fields operate within an atom: the
Magnetic Force Field, the Strong Nuclear Force Field,
and the Weak Nuclear Force Field. These three force
fields (ruhs), in combination, form the nafs (soul) of the
atom. Each of these force fields is a ruh (elementary soul)
and performs specific functions.
The force fields of a nafs can interact with antimatter,
just as gravitational force can act on both matter and
antimatter. Therefore, a human nafs can influence the
jinn, who are created from antimatter.
The soul (nafs) of an atom weakens if it loses energy.
When it loses energy, it sheds its outer shells, causing the
soul to be diminished. Similarly, a human soul (nafs) is
energized by the light of Allah. When the light of Allah
diminishes, the soul weakens.
The soul of an atom is abruptly weakened if it is
struck by antiparticles. Similarly, a human soul (nafs) is
796
abruptly buried if a jinni, created from antimatter,
possesses it. The extent of burial correlates with the level
of possession.
It should be noted that a jinni, created from
antimatter, cannot directly possess a human. Instead, it
does so through its own nafs and the human's nafs.
A jinni can only possess a pagan. It cannot possess a
believer, as believers are protected by angels. However, it
can whisper evil thoughts to them.
The pulses of the brain also illuminate the nafs. The
brain assesses situations and sends electrical impulses
throughout the body to stir up emotions. In turn, the
emotions that arise drive the human through the brain. A
brain having correct faith and knowledge will assess the
situations accurately, which will arouse the right
emotions. Ultimately, the right emotions will drive the
human on the right path.

How to remain clean by driving away the satan jinn?

A satanic jinni possesses a human to partake in the

pleasures of human life. Therefore, renounce everything
that brings joy: luxurious homes, cars, friends, food,
music, movies, travel, and everything else that provides
pleasure.
A human has eyes for color vision, ears with a
broad spectrum of hearing, and skin that senses comfort.
Therefore, close your eyes and ears, turn off the AC,
avoid sitting on a couch, and refrain from lying on a soft
bed.

797
 A human also possesses the power of imagination,
which can transport him into virtual (mental) enjoyment.
Therefore, cease thinking.
If it feels too difficult, then surrender completely to
Allah and follow the Quran strictly.
Is it still too difficult? Then, at the very least,
maintain your faith (Iman) in one God and the Last Day,
and do good deeds.
A satanic jinni is not allowed to possess a believer of
one God; it can only whisper to them.
[The Jinn is deliberately discussed in Section 3 of
Chapter 7]

Section 2 of Chapter 91 [Verse 11-15]: Thamud were

Obliterated

The Thamud rejected through their inordinate wrongdoing.

Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed. But
the apostle of God said to them: "It is a she-camel of God and
having her drink!"
Then they rejected him, and they hamstrung her. So, their
Lord on account of their crime obliterated their traces and
made them leveled! And not He fears its consequences.

By the night as it conceals, by the day as it appears in glory,

by the creation of male and female, indeed your efforts surely
diverse. So, he who gives and guards and testifies to the best,
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to bliss.
But he who is a greedy, miser and thinks himself self-
sufficient, and gives the lie to the best, We will indeed make
smooth for him the path to misery. Nor will his wealth profit
him when he falls headlong.

Remarks:

One will not find a miser among Muslims. They expend

amply. They fear and testify, and Allah makes their paths
smooth.
799

Verily, We take upon Ourselves to guide, and verily unto Us

Therefore, I do warn you of a fire blazing fiercely. None
shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones who give the
lie to Truth and turn their backs.
But the Guards will be removed from it, those who spend
their wealth for increase in self-purification, and have in their
minds no favor from anyone for which a reward is expected
in return, but only the desire to seek for the countenance of
their Lord Most High. And soon will they attain satisfaction.

Introduction

In the early days of Islam (in Makkah), there was a period

when the verses ceased to be revealed for a longer duration,
and some people began to say that the God of Muhammad
(pbuh) had forsaken him. It was then that this Surah was
revealed.

present, and soon will thy Lord will provide thee—thou shall
be well pleased.

Section 2 of Chapter 93 [Verse 6-8]: Remember the good

old days and have confidence on God

Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter?

And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee
guidance.
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.

Section 3 of Chapter 93 [Verse 9-11]: Proclaim the Grace

Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness.

And repulse not the beggar.
And proclaim the Grace of your Lord!

Chapter 94 [Al Sharh THE EXPANSION OF THE
BREAST]

Introduction

The Quran is a vast book. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was

mentally and physically prepared to receive the verses and to
preach the religion despite many dangers and difficulties. It
was a challenging journey.
To him as well, Allah commanded to offer long prayers at
night and engage in frequent remembrance, for the Earth is
not a place of rest.

Flowchart

Section 1 [Verse 1-4]: Expanded Breast

Section 2 [Verse 5-8]: Still Labor Hard

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 94 [Verse 1-4]: Expanded Breast

Have We not expanded thee thy breast, and removed from

thee thy burden, which weighed down thy back? And raised
high the esteem, thou.

Section 2 of Chapter 94 [Verse 5-8]: Still Labor Hard

So, verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

803
 Therefore, when thou are free, still labor hard and to thy
Lord turn thy attention.

Remarks:

There is an old saying: "If you want to get a job done,

give it to a busy man." In a professional army, a soldier is
never kept idle. An idle life makes him sluggish and
ineffective in battle. When the time of need comes, it may
be difficult to pull him away from the comforts of his free
time.
Thus, the burden of extra prayers was placed upon the
Prophet (pbuh), even though he was enduring a life filled
with struggle and warfare.
This short earthly life is not meant for rest and
pleasure. A human is both physically and mentally
equipped to endure extreme hardship throughout life;
such challenges do not break him but rather make him
stronger. Therefore, embrace physical labor during the
day and mental labor through extra prayer at night.
Muhammad (pbuh) is the example set for us. A
Muslim must remain steadfast in offering prayers
throughout his life, even while engaged in preaching,
struggle, or warfare.

Section 1 of Chapter 95 [Verse 1-4]: Created as the Best

By the Fig, and the Olive, and the Mount of Sinai, and this
City of Security, We have indeed created man in the best of
molds.

Remarks:

The verses refer to a specific region that includes the land

where figs and olives grow abundantly, the City of
Security (Makkah), and Mount Sinai. This region
generally encompasses the land between Damascus,
Marib, and Sinai.
Makkah is an ancient city, founded with the
construction of the Ka'bah by Abraham around 4,000
years ago. Many ancient cities that were once located in
805
 this region, such as Marib, Hegra, Admah, Petra, Zeboim,
Sodom, and Gomorrah, have been destroyed. But,
Makkah has endured. It is the City of Security, a symbol
of God's protection.

Section 2 of Chapter 95 [Verse 5-6]: Some due to their

deeds have fallen to the Low

Then do We abase him the lowest of the low, except such as

believe and do righteous deeds; for they shall have a reward
unfailing.

Remarks:

The generations that flourished in the area were tough

and dynamic peoples. Several of these races were
destroyed for their misdeeds, serving as examples for
mankind of God's judgment.

Section 3 of Chapter 95 [Verse 7-8]: Judgment of the

wisest Judge

Then what can after this contradict thee as to the judgment?

Is not God the wisest of judges?

Remarks:

On the Day of Judgment, no one will harbor resentment

towards God's judgment. Those who are punished will
blame only themselves. Allah is the Most Merciful, and
anyone who is punished by Him will truly deserve it.

pay hid to their words.

Tafsir of the Surah

Section 1 of Chapter 96 [Verse 1-8]: Taught man that
which he knew not

Read in the name of thy Lord Who created. Created man out
of a leech.

Remarks:

The word "Alaqah" means "leech." From day 7 to 24, the

human embryo clings to the uterine wall in the same way
a leech attaches to the skin, drawing nourishment from
the endometrium. It is remarkable how closely the
embryo of day 23 or 24 resembles a leech (see figure
below).

807
 FIGURE 96.1: Leech and Human Embryo (Alaqah)

The leech-like formation is visible only under a

microscope. Therefore, the verse serves as a sign of the
Quran.

Read! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful; He Who taught

the Pen—taught man that which he knew not.

Remarks:

These are from the first few verses of the Quran. The
verses described what was to come:
Allah taught the Pen, and the Pen wrote the Quran, to
teach humanity that which they knew not. It means that
the Quran is a computerized Pen generated Book.
How the Quran generated is discussed below:
The 'Pen' writes on a 'Saved-Disc' (Lawh-Mahfuz). I
refer to this Pen-Disc System as the 'Central Computer of
the Universes' (CCU). It is a highly advanced system
created and programmed by Allah to plan creation. The
CCU is deliberately discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6.
Before Allah created the universe, He made a virtual
universe in this computer (CCU) as His Master Design.
We passed our virtual lives in the virtual universe.

808
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) preached Islam in his virtual
life as well, when Allah guided him immensely, because
Prophet (pbuh) was doing a great job and Allah was
developing the virtual universe by necessary adjustments.
Later, the CCU extracted the sayings of virtual
Muhammad (pbuh), and organized them into a well-
structured Quran:

―Alif, Lam, Ra. A book, were tightened its verses,

further explained in detail - from One Who is
Wise and Well-acquainted‖ [Al Quran 11:1]

The CCU also translated the verses into Arabic and

transformed them into recitations:

―Ha-Mim. By the book that makes things clear.

We have made it a Recitation in Arabic that ye
may be able to understand. And verily, it is in the
Mother of the Book, in Our presence, high, full of
wisdom.‖ [Al Quran 43:1-4]

Finally, Allah edited it, as stated in the following

verse:

―Allah does blot out (delete) or confirm (save)

what He pleases; with Him is the Mother of the
Book.‖ [Al Quran 13:39]

Therefore, the Pen (a component of the CCU) wrote

the Quran, but it is not entirely a computer-generated
book.

809
 On Earth, the verses of the Quran were revealed to
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in small portions, according
to the needs of the situations. But, the verses were stored
in Prophet's (pbuh) brain in the sequence we have them
today.
Sometimes, two or more Surahs were revealed during
the same period, but the verses of one Surah never mixed
with those of another. It is because, in the Cave of Hira,
Gabriel implanted a database (dhikra) of the Quran into
the Prophet's (pbuh) brain.
The verses were stored in his brain in the intended
places of the data-base. The alphabets found at the
beginning of some Surahs were the guiding inscriptions
of this database. The same inscriptions were added to the
Surahs as they were revealed, ensuring that the verses of
one Surah did not mix with those of another.
.
Nay, but man does transgress all bounds; in that he looks
upon himself as self-sufficient—verily, to thy Lord is the
return.

Section 2 of Chapter 96 [Verse 9-19]: Bring thyself Closer

Have you seen the one who forbids a servant when he

connects?
Have you seen if he is upon guidance or enjoins
guarding? Have you seen if he denies and turns away?
Does he not know that Allah sees? Let him beware! If he
desists not, We will drag him by the forelock, a lying sinful
forelock!

810
Remarks:

What the above verses mean by 'a lying sinful forelock'?

The forehead contains the Frontal Lobes of the brain,
which is responsible for thinking, speaking, memory, and
movement (see figure 96.2). Thus, dragging a sinful liar
by the forelock is justified.

FIGURE 96.2: Frontal Lobe

Only a human has a special ruh (an unknown force

field) that is directly given by God just after his birth. It
attaches itself to the muscles of his chest and produces a
virtual brain (qalb / mind) by the help of nerves and brain.
Thus the ruh works as a dynamic platform of the mind
(qalb).
The ruh possesses the emotions of joy and sorrow,
which inspire a thought to run. The qalb (mind) receives
other emotions from the nafs (main / composite soul).
811
 Only a human is given with a special ruh and has a
mind (qalb). The mind can produce deliberate thoughts
and visions. But a beast does not have the special ruh; it
only has nafs. So, it does not have qalb (mind) like a
human. It does not have deliberate thoughts like humans.
A fox will never think, sitting in the corner of a jungle, to
kill the lion and establish democracy.
The thoughts of a beast are short and limited to
immediate needs, time, and space. They act instinctively
for migration, breeding, and hunting. These actions are
not driven by deliberate thoughts. Instead, their brains are
genetically programmed to perform these tasks in the
regular fashions.
A beast has a nafs, which gives rise to basic emotions
such as fear, greed, and love. The nafs influences the
frontal lobes of the brain, shaping its limited thoughts.
This type of thinking occurs in the frontal lobes of a
human brain as well, driven solely by the nafs. The
special ruh, which Allah breathed into a human, does not
play a role in these thoughts. Instead, the thoughts—
motivated only by the nafs—focus primarily on survival
and reproduction. Since these thoughts are not nurtured in
the mind (qalb), they tend to be impulsive and often lack
morality. A habitual liar is often driven by such thoughts,
which is why the verses state: ―If he desists not, We will
drag him by the forelock, a lying sinful forelock!‖
Therefore, never take a decision hurriedly—think
deliberately and keep the remembrance of Allah in mind.
The nafs spreads throughout the body, but it has
powerful focal points in the brain and below the navel. In
the brain, the nafs has key points in the pineal gland, on
the forehead between the eyes (the third eye), and at the
812
 top of the head. Thus, the nafs exerts a significant
influence on the brain.

FIGURE 96.3

The mind (qalb), located in the chest, receives

information from the brain in accordance with the
guidance of the ruh. The qalb of a Believer remains under
the control of Allah.
If the qalb is harmed, the thoughts generated in the
frontal lobe may dominate, causing the person to become
a selfish liar.

Then let him call to his council. We will call on the

angels of punishment!
Nay, heed him not but bow down in adoration and bring
thyself the closer!

Chapter 97 [Al Qadr THE NIGHT OF POWER]
Introduction

The Surah talks about the descent of the Quran.

Tafsir of the Surah

We have indeed revealed this in the Night of Power

Remarks:

The Quran was written in the Lawh-Mahfuz, located in

the Arsh, billions of light years away from the Earth.
How did it come down?
The Lawh-Mahfuz sent the Quran to its main server,
Sidratul-Muntaha. Subsequently, the Sidratul-Muntaha
sent the verses (ruhs) through the angels. Initially, they
arrived at the 'Command Station' of the First (Innermost)
Sky.

―Allah is He Who created Seven Skies and the

Lands (Command Stations) an equivalent (seven).
Through the midst of them descends His
command that ye may know that Allah has power
over all things, and that comprehends all things in
knowledge.‖ [Al Quran 65:12]

I refer to these realms, through which the commands

of Allah are descended, as "Command Stations.

814
 The angels and commands (ruhs) are sent down to the
Command Stations in groups, each spanning a thousand
years.

―He rules affairs from the skies to the earth; in the

end will go up to Him in a Day—measure a
thousand years of your reckoning.‖
[Al Quran 32: 5]

―...Verily a day in the sight of thy Lord is like a

thousand-year of your reckoning.‖
[Al Quran 22: 47]

And what will explain to thee what the Night of Power is?
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein
come down the angels and the ruh by God's permission for
every matter. Peace! This until the rise of morn!

Remarks:

The angels and ruhs destined to monitor the affairs of a

thousand years descend to the Command Stations in
groups, each corresponding to one thousand years.
The angels are stationed in the nearby fortresses (star-
like objects), while the ruhs are preserved in the server
computers of the Command Stations.
Subsequently, the angels and ruhs are regrouped into
packets of 1,000 months (approximately eighty-three
years) and transported by "Sakinah" near the job stations.
A Sakinah is a cloud of angels and ruhs, assigned to
monitor the affairs of 1,000 months.

815
 FIGURE 97.1: The Cybernetic System

The Sakinah, carrying the complete Quran and the

related angels, descended near the Earth on the Night of
Power.
The verses of the Quran came as ruhs (brain data /
electric pulses) designed to create memories in the
Prophet's (pbuh) brain. The angels directly implanted
these ruhs into his brain through a special path. The entry
point of this path manifested as a swollen muscle (Mohr-
e-Nubuwat) on the Prophet's (pbuh) backbone, just below
his neck.

816
Chapter 98 [Al Bayyinah THE CLEAR EVIDENCE]
Introduction

The Surah talks about the People of the Book and the
Polytheists who rejected the truth after it had reached them.

Tafsir of the Surah

Those who disbelieved among the People of the Book and
among the Polytheists were not to be parted until there should
come to them Clear Evidence: An apostle from God
rehearsing scriptures, kept pure and holy, wherein are laws
right and straight.
Nor did the People of the Book make schisms until after
there came to them Clear Evidence and they have been
commanded no more than this: To worship God offering Him
sincere devotion being true, to establish salat, and to practise
regular charity—and that is the Religion right and straight.
Those who reject among the People of the Book and
among the Polytheists will be in hell-fire to dwell therein;
they are the worst of creatures.
Those, who have faith and do righteous deeds they are the
best of creatures. Their reward is with God, Jannaat-u-Adnin,
beneath which rivers flow. They will dwell therein forever—
God well pleased with them and they with Him.
All this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher.

817
Chapter 99 [Al Zalzalah THE EARTHQUAKE]
Introduction

The Surah discusses important establishments of the Final

Judgment.

Tafsir of the Surah

When the shooting Land is shaking, and the Land throws up
her burdens, and man cries: What is the matter with her?

Remarks:

The Universe will be rolled up and contracted to the point

where matter will be annihilated—the universe will be
wrapped around a point of infinitely powerful
gravitational force as forces (commands) and information
(photons). The collapsed universe will be sustained by the
forces radiating from His 'face in form'. It is His 'face of
nafs'.
Allah will reprogram and re-initiate the universe
while it will be in His face of nafs. The reprogramed
universe will be moved into the right hand of His nafs,
when it will start gaining mass. The universe, gaining
mass, will be shooting toward the palm of His hand of
nafs, at which point the Resurrection of the Dead will
occur, as the verses under discussion says: ―When the
shooting Land (Thaqal) is shaking, and the Land throws
up her burdens, and man cries: What is the matter with
her?‖
818
 When the shooting universe will attain the state of
Thaqal (Heavy Mass), the matter of the Solar System will
be ejected with the resurrected living creatures to form
the Land of Judgment in the Super Space.
After the Resurrection, the evolution of the reviving
universe will be halted temporarily for Judgment and
Salvation.

―And not they honored Allah, true honor, while

the Land (Land of Judgment) is assembling in His
hand on the Day of Resurrection, and the Skies
rolled-up in His right hand (in the form of
Thaqal). Glory be to Him! And high is He above
what they associate.‖ [Al Quran 39: 67]

On that Day will she declare her tidings, for that thy Lord
will have given her inspiration.

Remarks:

The Land of Judgment will be created from all the matter

of the Solar System, except for the matter of the Earth.
The Earth will fall onto the Land of Judgment in a
compressed state. Allah will transform the matter of the
Earth into bread, which will later be eaten by the people
of Jannah:

Hadith: ―On the Day of Final Judgment the land

of the Earth will be like bread. Mighty Allah will
rotate it with His power—the way one rotates
one‘s bread on the mat of food. It will be food of
gesture for the people of Jannaat.‖ [Bukhari]
819
 Before the matter of the Earth is transformed into
bread, it will be made to declare its tidings. It will then
behave like a readable CD, as the verse under discussion
states: On that Day will she declare her tidings, for that
thy Lord will have given her inspiration.
There will be no way to deny any allegation. Allah, in
His action, is Time:

―On the authority of Abu Hurayrah who said that

the Messenger of Allah said: Allah says,
―Children of Adam inveigh against Time; I am
Time; I change the day and night.‖
[Hadis-e-Qudsi, Bukhari, Muslim]

When Allah inspires, the land will express its tidings.

Here, 'inspiring' refers to 'designing.' The Earth will be
designed like a readable computer CD, equipped with the
necessary devices to play it. If one plays the point
corresponding to the 'White House Conference Room at a
particular time,' it will display a 3D video record of that
moment.

On that Day, will men proceed in companies sorted out to

be shown their deeds. Then shall anyone who has done a
particle weight of good see it, and anyone who has done a
particle weight of evil shall see it.

Remarks:

The Balance will be placed. It would be an

astronomically vast electronic device of the highest order.
It may be connected to the CCU (Central Computer of the
820
Universes, as discussed in Section-9 of Chapter-6). The
Balance may have many booths on the Land of Judgment.
Each company will have one booth to show their deeds,
as the verses say: ―On that Day, will men proceed in
companies sorted out to be shown their deeds.‖
When a person enters a booth, his deeds will be
shown to him in minute detail, along with the weights of
his good and bad deeds. He will also be given a printout
of the deeds, as the verses state: ―Then shall anyone who
has done a particle weight of good see it, and anyone who
has done a particle weight of evil shall see it.‖
None can intercede with Allah during the Judgment
except by His permission. In reality, every human will
face Him alone:

―And everyone of them will come to Him singly

on the Day of Judgment. On those who believe
and work deeds of righteousness, will Most
Gracious bestow love.‖ [Al Quran 19:95-96]

821
Chapter 100 [Al 'Adiyat THOSE THAT RUN]
Introduction

The Surah points out the expectation from a Muslim

Tafsir of the Surah

By that run panting, and strike sparks of fire,
And push home the charge in the morning,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst en masse.

Remarks:

'
"By that run painting" is typically translated as "by the
horse that runs in the painting". While this interpretation
is commonly accepted, there is no word in the verse that
directly means 'horse.'.
The verses actually paint the vivid picture of a soldier
charging in a conventional 'Dawn Attack.' A Dawn
Attack is an assault where the enemy is engaged in
reduced visibility, and reorganization or pursuit is done
once daylight breaks.
In modern times, penetration by waves of foot
soldiers is one of the most dangerous forms of operation.
In this strategy, an advancing military formation,
supported by air, armor, and artillery, pushes through a
series of fortified enemy defenses to capture a vital
objective deep within enemy territory.
822
 In the process of penetration, each enemy-held
locality is captured through a deliberate attack. The
attacking foot soldiers move out from a Forming-Up
Place (FUP) to seize the enemy's defensive position on a
'do or die' mission.
The above verses depict a charging soldier. His
objective may be half a kilometer ahead, but this distance
is under intense enemy surveillance and coordinated fire
from fortified trenches. Although he has fire support, but
how much can it help against opponents entrenched for
days? He wears a helmet and life jacket, but how much
protection do they offer against high-velocity spinning
bullets? In reality, many soldiers leave these burdens
behind in the FUP, knowing that the first few waves of
attack are unlikely to survive, and agility is more
important in a running fight.
This method of operation was developed by the
Germans in the 20th century and is still considered a
fundamental military tactic. But isn‘t it surprising that
such a battle is depicted in a 1,400-year-old Surah? Read
the above verses again; if you have received any higher
military training, it will become clear that the verses
vividly portray a foot soldier charging in a Dawn Attack.

Truly, man is to his Lord ungrateful, and to that he bears

witness.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
Does he not know, when that which is in the graves is
scattered abroad, and that which is in the breasts is made
manifest—that their Lord had been well acquainted with
them…that Day…!

823
Remarks:

A dedicated soldier sacrifices his life for the causes of

nation or ideology. But what have we done for our
Creator? How much have we sacrificed? Violent we are
in our love for wealth!
On the Day of Judgment, each person will realize that
his Lord was fully aware of them. He provided him with
land to live on, gave him food and shelter, and healed him
from diseases. Yet, he was unaware of Him—he was
loyal to something else!

824
Chapter 101 [Al Qari'ah THE GREAT CALAMITY]
Introduction

The Surah talks about the Journey to Hell.

Tafsir of the Surah

The ―Noise and Clamor.‖ What is the ―Noise and Clamor‖?
And what will explain to thee what the ―Noise and Clamor‖
is?
A Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
and the mountains will be like carded wool.

Remarks:

The Surah depicts the final event.

The Land of Judgment will be created from the matter
taken out of the Thaqal (the revived universe, halted in
the state of heavy mass). After the Judgment, those
destined for Jannah will proceed along As-Sirat leading to
Paradise. Meanwhile, those destined for Hell will be cast
into the Thaqal, unrolling violently at that time.
Soon the Land of Judgment will be grasped by the
rolling Thaqal that will be reviving violently as the Skies.
The Land of Judgment will then explode into pieces. The
sinners, moving toward Hell on their faces (flying
through space), will appear like moths scattered in all
directions; while the shattered fragments of the Land of
Judgment will resemble carded wool.

825
 Eventually, each human will be drawn into the object
(galaxy), determined.

Then, he whose balance is heavy will be in a life of good

pleasure and satisfaction.

Remarks:

By that time, the people of Jannah will have reached

their destinations; they will be in the state of pleasure
and contentment.

But, he whose balance is light, his mother will be endless

hole. And what will explain to thee what this is? A fire
blazing fiercely!

Remarks

The Thaqal, rolling into the Samawaat, will release super-

compact galaxies in its initial state. Each galaxy will pull
the sinner destined for it.
However, the galaxies will take some time to form
stars and planets. Initially, a sinner will be drawn into the
super-massive black hole. As the verse says: ―But, he
whose balance is light, his mother will be endless hole.‖
Here, the 'endless hole' refers to the 'super-massive black
hole.' This black hole will pull enough matter from the
Thaqal to eventually form stars and planets over time.
There is no chance of missing the destination, as the
driving angels will be assigned from the moment of
resurrection:

826
―And there will come forth every soul; with each
will be an (angel) to drive and an (angel) to bear
witness (Amal-Nama)‖ [Al Quran 50:21]

827
Chapter 102 [Al Takathur THE PILING UP]

Introduction

The Surah serves as a warning to those who remain solely

focused on making money.

Tafsir of the Surah

The mutual rivalry for piling up diverts you, until you visit
the graves.
But nay, ye soon shall know—again, ye soon shall know!
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind?
Ye shall certainly see hell-fire—again, ye shall see it with
certainty of sight!

Remarks:

On the Day of Judgment, two entities will exist in the

Super Space: one is the Land of Judgment, and the other
is the Thaqal (the revived initial universe, halted in the
state of heavy mass).
People on the Land of Judgment will ultimately know
their situation. They will witness the Thaqal, roaring in
the Super Space with fierce fire to revive.

828
Then shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy.

Remarks:

On the featureless Land of Judgment, the entirety of

earthly life will feel like a fleeting evening.
We are creatures of a Mighty Arrogant Creator who
unwaveringly fulfills His Plan. He has decreed for us
Resurrection and an eternal life thereafter.
So, it is foolish to be preoccupied with amassing
wealth on Earth, for one cannot carry it into the afterlife,
and it is likely to harm one‘s children.

829
Chapter 103 [Al 'Asr TIME THROUGH THE AGES]
Introduction

The Surah delivers a concise message about what one should

prioritize and accumulate in this brief earthly life.

Tafsir of the Surah

By Time, verily Man is in loss,
Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and
enjoin the Truth, and enjoin the Patience.

Remarks:

According to above verses, the four things, without which

a man is in loss, are:
1. Faith
2. Righteous Deeds.
3. Enjoining Truth
4. Enjoining Patience
The Surah is a concise reminder for a Muslim.

830
Chapter 104 [Al Humazah THE
SCANDALMONGER]

Introduction

The Surah warns scandalmongers and backbiters who are

preoccupied with amassing wealth. It describes the Fire of
Hell.

Tafsir of the Surah

Woe to every scandalmonger and backbiter who piles up
wealth and counts it, thinking that his wealth would make
him last forever!
By no means! He will surely to be thrown into the
Crusher, and what will explain to thee what the Crusher is!
The Fire of God, kindled, which mounts up to the hearts;
verily, it upon them closed over in columns extended.

Remarks:

What could be the ‗Fire of God‘? And what are the

Crusher, and the Columns Extended?

1. Fire of God

Everything belongs to Allah, but when something is

specifically mentioned as belonging to Him, it indicates a
closer relationship to Him. Thus, the Fire of God is a
special Fire.

831
 The fire is produced by gravitational force, which is a
direct force of Allah. This is indicated in the following
verses:

―Do they not see towards the birds, controlled in

the atmosphere (air) of the sky (Samah)? None
holds them except Allah; most surely there are
signs in this for a people who believe‖
[Al Quran 16:79]

―Do they not observe the birds above them,

spreading and folding? None can uphold them
except (God) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that
watches over all things.‖ [Al Quran 67:19]

In the above verses, Allah gives the example of flying

birds. A bird flies by spreading and folding its wings, but
it would be unbalanced and thrown off course if not for
gravity holding it through its center of gravity (CG). The
holding of birds by gravity is described in the above
verses as a direct act of Allah.

―He covers the night with the day, seeking it

rapidly, and the sun and the moon and the stars
controlled by His deed‖ [Al Quran 7:54]

Therefore, gravitational force is a force of Allah. A

force field within a living entity can be called the soul.
Thus, the gravitational force field can be considered an
elementary soul (ruh) of Allah.
Allah is deliberately discussed in Chapter 1. The nafs
(composite soul) of Allah, which permeates His 'body in
832
shape,' is a combination of many known and unknown
force fields (ruhs/elementary souls), along with possibly
other elements unknown. He has extended 15 to 20 of
these force fields beyond His body in shape, creating His
'hands of nafs.'
Allah has designed the forces of His hands of nafs to
act in fixed patterns according to His will-power and has
infused these into the universes to sustain and evolve
creation. We observe the effects of these forces as several
of natural laws.
The whole universe is in the palm of His right hand
(right hand of nafs). The hand comprises 15 to 20 forces.
The gravitational force is one of these forces. It is a force
of Allah. He is the Sustainer of the universes.
How gravitational force produces fire?
The gravitational force exerted by a black hole is so
intense that even light cannot escape from its surface.
With its immensely powerful gravitational pull, a black
hole draws in materials from the surrounding space. As
these materials approach the singularity, they spin faster
and faster, generating significant friction. This friction
produces heat, and eventually, the temperature becomes
so extreme that it releases massive amounts of radiation,
including x-rays, gamma rays, visible light, and radio
waves.
The galaxies are objects of hell. Every galaxy harbors
a super-massive black hole at its center, where
gravitational force converts massive amounts of matter
into energy. Since gravitational force is a force of God,
the verses under discussion refer to these gigantic
emissions as the 'Fire of God': ―The Fire of God, kindled,
which mount up to the hearts‖
833
2. Crusher

A black hole can quickly absorb small amounts of matter

without releasing much energy. If a small stone is thrown
into a black hole, it will simply vanish, being compressed
to a size smaller than dust. However, if the amount of
matter is large, the black hole cannot absorb it
immediately.
―But if the mass of several million stars is compressed
around it, there will be a massive pile up of material- gas,
dust and even whole stars- sucked in by the intense
gravity field but unable to squeeze immediately into the
tight ‗throat‘ funneling down into the hole‖
– The Life and Death of Stars by Geoffrey Bath in
The Encyclopedia of Space Travel and Astronomy edited
by John Man
As the materials collapse, the black hole spins at
tremendous speed, winding its strong magnetic field
around itself. Due to the rotating magnetic field, the
collapsing material cannot fall into the black hole
immediately. Instead, it spreads into a blanket of in-
falling matter in the plane of rotation, similar to Saturn's
rings but on a much larger scale. This is called the
Accretion Disk, where swirling materials are crushed, and
energy is released due to friction. The verses under
discussion refer to the Accretion Disk as the 'Crusher':
―By no means! He will surely to be thrown into the
Crusher, and what will explain to thee what the Crusher
is!‖

834
3. Columns Extended

One may live on a planet, away from an active black

hole, but the Crusher (Accretion Disk) will not leave one
unpunished. It will spread the fire through the extended
columns, as shown in the figure below:

FIGURE 104.1: Columns Extended

The burning matter and energy erupt through the

contours of the magnetic force fields associated with the
black hole. Thus, the verses under discussion say: ―verily,
it upon them closed over in columns extended‖.

835
Chapter 105 [Al Fil THE ELEPHANT]
Introduction

The Surah highlights the protection of the Kaaba, which is

central to the Muslim Ummah.

Tafsir of the Surah

See thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the
Elephant?
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
And He sent against them Flights of Birds striking them
with stones of baked clay.
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and
straw has been eaten up.

Remarks:

In the year 570 CE, Abrahah, with 60,000 soldiers and 13

elephants, marched from Yemen to destroy the Kaaba.
Abrahah camped near Makkah. People of Makkah
were not capable of facing an Army of 60,000 men. They
contemplated that Allah would protect His house.
The Quraysh are descendants of Abraham. They knew
the name of Allah and were aware that Abraham had
made the Kaaba as a shrine for Him. They were sincerely
protecting Abraham's footprints, which are still present
beside the Kaaba.
When Abrahah called the chief of Makkah, Abu
Talib, he did not ask him to spare the Kaaba, but instead
836
requested the return of his camels, which had been seized
by Abrahah's soldiers.
When Abrahah spoke about the Kaaba, Abu Talib
replied, 'The house belongs to Allah; He will protect His
house'.
Allah protected the Kaaba, and it remains ever
protected. The Kaaba was destined to be the spiritual
center of the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

837
Chapter 106 [Quraysh THE TRIBE OF QURAYSH]
Introduction

The Surah acknowledges the right of the Quraysh over the

Kaaba, thereby granting them the responsibility of looking
after it forever.

Tafsir of the Surah

For the covenants by the Quraysh—their covenants journeys
by winter and summer.
Let them adore the Lord of this House Who provides
them with food against hunger and with security against fear.

838
Chapter 107 [Al Ma'un THE NEIGHBOURLY
ASSISTANCE]

Introduction

The Surah talks about mutual assistance.

Tafsir of the Surah

See thou one who denies the Judgment?
For that is the one who drives away the orphan and
encourages not the feeding of the indigent.
So, woe to the worshippers who are neglectful of their
prayers, those who to be seen, and withhold assistance.

Remarks

The Surah emphasizes brotherhood within an Islamic

society. People should support one another and extend
that support to the outsiders traveling through their land.

839
Chapter 108 [Al Kawthar THE KAWTHAR]
Introduction

The Surah is a call to follow the Quran in order to connect

with the Lord.

Tafsir of the Surah

To thee have We granted Kauthar.
So, connect (salli) to your Lord and sacrifice.
Indeed your enemy is he the one cut off.

Remarks:

Traditionally, 'Kauthar' is translated as 'Fountain,' and

'Salli' is translated as 'Prayer.' Thus, the Surah is
commonly translated as follows:
To thee have We granted the Fount (of Abundance).
Therefore to thy Lord turn in Prayer and Sacrifice.
For he who hateth thee, he will be cut off.
The Surah is often explained as under:
A fountain is granted to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
for the Day of Judgment, when people will be extremely
thirsty. Those who harbor hatred for the Prophet (pbuh)
will not be allowed to approach the fountain.
However, the exact meaning of 'Kawthar' is not
known. A fair translator refrains from translating it and
keeps it as 'Kawthar.' Some interpret it as the 'Quran,'
while others understand it to refer to Hazrat Fatima (R.),
who is regarded as the mother of the 12 Imams.
840
 And the meaning of 'salli' according to the dictionary
is 'connect'.
In the above, I have translated this Surah word-for-
word. It appears to be a divine call to follow the path
outlined by the Quran and the guided Imams in order to
connect with the Lord.

841
Chapter 109 [Al Kafirun THE REJECTERS OF
FAITH]

Introduction

The Surah teaches Muslims to live peacefully with the people

of other religions.

Tafsir of the Surah

Say: O ye that reject Faith! I worship not that which ye
worship, nor will ye worship that which I worship.
And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to
worship, nor will ye worship that which I worship.
To you be your Way, and to me mine.

Remarks:

Islam cannot be mixed with other religions. A Muslim

cannot be half Muslim and half Buddhist.
Muslims are required to follow their own religion,
while also respecting the right of others to follow their
own faiths.
The last verse of the Surah is often cited as the policy
of Islamic Secularism: "To you be your Way, and to me
mine."

842
Chapter 110 [Al Nasr THE HELP]
Introduction

The Surah revealed the approaching death of Prophet

Muhammad (pbuh).
It also emphasizes that when Islam is established in a
land, the people should focus more on spiritual development
by celebrating the praises of God.

Tafsir of the Surah

When comes the help of God and victory, and thou dost see
the people enter God's religion in crowds, celebrate the
praises of thy Lord and pray for His Forgiveness; for He is
Oft-Returning.

843
Chapter 111 [Al Masad THE PLAITED ROPE]
Introduction

The Surah declares the punishment of Abu Lahab, and those

who oppose the peaceful preaching of Islam may follow him.

Tafsir of the Surah

May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined and ruined is he!
No profit to him from all his wealth and all his gains!
Burnt soon will he be in a fire of blazing flame!
His wife shall carry the wood as fuel!
A twisted rope of palm-leaf-fiber round her neck!

Remarks:

Initially, in Makkah, Prophet (pbuh) preached Islam

secretly. He began preaching openly by calling the people
of Makkah to gather near a hill, but Abu Lahab threw a
stone at him and sabotaged his efforts with abusive
words. This incident marked the start of open opposition
to his message.
During the Prophet's (pbuh) time, people from one
tribe would not kill a member of another tribe due to the
tradition of revenge killings and the fear of inter-tribal
war. The Prophet (pbuh) faced risks not from people of
other tribes, but from his own tribe, Banu Hashim. Abu
Talib, the Prophet's uncle and the chief of Banu Hashim,
was protecting him.

844
 But when Abu Talib died, Abu Lahab became the
Chief, and the threat on Prophet‘s life became viable and
imminent. He soon migrated to Madinah. Abu Lahab was
step brother of Abu Talib and Prophet‘s Father, Abdullah.
Abu Lahab died after the Battle of Badr, afflicted by
malignant pustules, a highly contagious disease. He was
abandoned to die alone. When he passed away, his body
was disposed of with sticks and buried in a ditch. Thus,
after the defeat at Badr, people witnessed how the
prophecy was fulfilled: "May the hands of Abu Lahab be
ruined and ruined is he! No profit to him from all his
wealth and all his gains…"

845
Chapter 112 [Al Ikhlas THE PURITY OF FAITH]
Introduction

This Surah simply explains the concept of one God and

presents compelling arguments in this regard.

Tafsir of the Surah

Say: He is God, the One and Only;
God, the Eternal, Absolute.
He begets not, nor is He begotten.
And there is none like unto Him.

Remarks:

Allah is One and Only. If Allah had a child, He would no

longer be One; He would become two. Therefore, He
does not have a child.
He is Eternal. He did not take birth, nor does He give
birth.
There is nothing like unto Him.
Everything around us is created. So, people often ask,
―Who created God?‖
Actually, nothing is created; everything is
transformed into its present form. Absolute creation is not
possible for Allah either. He provided (breathed out) a
part of His Soul (Nafsin-Wahidatin / a Single Soul / GUT
Force+) from His own Nafs and transformed it into
creation.
Absolute annihilation is also not possible.
846
Chapter 113 [Al Falaq THE DAYBREAK]
Introduction

The Surah teaches a prayer for safety.

The Surah
Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the split,
From the mischief of created things,
And from the evil of darkness when it settles,
And from the evil of the blowers in knots,
And from the evil of an envier when he envies.

Remarks:

In the context of the verses, ―The Lord of the split,‖

refers to the Lord who has divided space into dimensions.
The Universe contains about five times more dark
matter than regular matter. Antimatter is a type of dark
matter. This Universe is essentially a home for anti-
creatures, such as the jinn. There are many kinds of
dangerous anti-creatures moving through the space, but
they exist in different dimensions, so they cannot harm
us.
Allah has protected us by splitting space into
dimensions. Despite this, we should seek refuge in Allah
to remain ever protected and grateful.

847
Chapter 114 [Al Nas MANKIND]
Introduction

The Surah teaches a prayer for protection from the satan

jinns.

Tafsir of the Surah

Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind,
the King of Mankind, the God of Mankind from the mischief
of the whisperer, who withdraws; who whispers into the
hearts of mankind—among jinns and among men.

Remarks

Nothing harms a human more than a satanic jinni. If

salvation to Jannah is the primary goal of human life,
then protection from Satan is a primary requirement. The
jinn are discussed in Section-3 of Chapter-7, where I
explain how they harm.

848
