[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 036-037

৩৬. অতএব, বিশ্বজগতের পালনকর্তা, ভূ-মন্ডলের পালনকর্তা ও নভোমন্ডলের পালনকর্তা আল্লাহর-ই প্রশংসা। 

৩৭. নভোমন্ডলে ও ভূ-মন্ডলে তাঁরই গৌরব। তিনি পরাক্রমশালী, প্রজ্ঞাময়। 

 

Ayat 36. So all the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, and the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

Ayat 37. And His (Alone) is the Majesty in the heavens and the earth, and He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.  

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 36. Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, - Lord and Cherisher of all the Worlds! The argument having been completed about the fruits of this life being reaped in the Ma'ad, or the Hereafter, when perfect balance will be restored and perfect Justice will reign supreme, the Surah closes with praise and glory to Allah, Who is not only Omnipotent but is full of Wisdom, and cherishes and cares for all His creation. We began with the remembrance of His Revelation and Mercy, and we close with the celebration of His goodness, power, and wisdom. Note how the argument is rounded off by the reminiscence of the last clause of the second verse of this Surah. 37. To Him be glory throughout the heavens and the earth: and He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom!

 

Hazrat Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah, the Exalted, and Glorious, said; 'O My slaves, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to stand in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more than a needle decrease the sea if put into it. O My slaves, it is but your deeds that I reckon for you and then recompense you for, so let him who finds good (i.e., in the Hereafter) praise Allah and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself.''' [Muslim Book 032, Chapter 13, Hadith # 6246].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 36. So all the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth" This Hadith mentions the Power and Majesty of Allah and stresses that one should supplicate Allah for everything that one needs. From guidance to sustenance, the treasures of everything are with Him - the treasures which are unlimited and any withdrawal from them does not make any reduction in them. Similar is the case of His Sovereignty; it is not affected even if the whole universe supports or opposes them. Thus, it is in the interest of man that he should dedicate himself entirely to Allah and beg all his needs from Him and Him Alone.

[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: ayat 035

৩৫. এটা এজন্যে যে, তোমরা আল্লাহর আয়াতসমূহকে ঠাট্টারূপে গ্রহণ করেছিলে এবং পার্থিব জীবন তোমাদেরকে প্রতারিত করেছিল।  সুতরাং আজ তাদেরকে জাহান্নাম থেকে বের করা হবে না এবং তাদের কাছে তওবা চাওয়া হবে না।

Ayat 35. This, because you took the revelations of Allah (this Qur’an) in mockery, and the life of the world deceived you. So this Day, they shall not be taken out from there (Hell), nor shall they be Yusta'tabûn (i.e. they shall not return to the worldly life, so that they repent to Allah, and beg His Pardon for their sins).

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 35. "This, because ye used to take the Signs of Allah in jest, and the life of the world deceived you:" (From) that Day, therefore, they shall not be taken out thence, nor shall they be received into Grace. It is implied that 'you deliberately allowed yourselves to be deceived by the vanities of this world', or 'that you put yourselves into a position where you were deceived, for you were expressly warned against Evil'.

Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) was passing through the bazaar with his Companions on his both sides, when he saw a dead skinny lamb. He held its ear and said, "Who of you would like to have it for a dirham". They replied, "We do not like to get it for nothing, and what shall we do with it?". Then he (PBUH) asked, "Would you like to have it for nothing?". They replied, "Had it been alive, it would have been defective because it is skinny; but when dead it is of no use". Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Truly, the world is more contemptible to Allah than this (the dead lamb) is to you".

[Muslim Book 42, Chapter 01, Hadith # 7059].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 35. the life of the world deceived you. So this Day, they shall not be taken out from there (Hell),” This Hadith also shows the futility of this world for which one struggles so madly throughout his life. It is also an indication that the Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH) used to seize the right opportunities to guide and teach his followers. 

[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 034

৩৪. বলা হবে, আজ আমি তোমাদেরকে ভুলে যাব, যেমন তোমরা এ দিনের সাক্ষাৎকে ভুলে গিয়েছিলে। তোমাদের আবাসস্থল জাহান্নাম  এবং তোমাদের সাহায্যকারী নেই।

Ayat 34. And it will be said: "This Day We will forget you as you forgot the Meeting of this Day of yours. And your abode is the Fire, and there is none to help you."

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 30. 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. The attainment and satisfaction of all hopes and desires; the reaching of the final goal of Bliss.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said,  "He who goes to the masjid in the morning or in the evening, Allah prepares for him a place in Jannah whenever he goes to the masjid in the morning and returns from it in the evening.''  [Al-Bukhari Book 01,Chapter 11, Hadith # 631]

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat as you forgot the Meeting of this Day of yours." This Hadith points out the merit of going on foot to the mosque for Salat, no matter whether one goes in the morning or the evening. In fact, the heart of a Muslim should be attached to mosques and on account of this, he goes there at all the prescribed hours of Salat to perform his Salat in congregation.

[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 033

৩৩. তাদের মন্দ কর্ম গুলো তাদের সামনে প্রকাশ হয়ে পড়বে  এবং যে আযাব নিয়ে তারা ঠাট্টা-বিদ্রুপ করত, তা তাদেরকে গ্রাস করবে।

Ayat 33. And the evil of what they did will appear to them, and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at! (The day of Resurrection).  

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 30. 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. The attainment and satisfaction of all hopes and desires; the reaching of the final goal of Bliss. 

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said,  said, "The (Hell) Fire is surrounded with all kinds of desires and passions, while Jannah is surrounded with adversities.''  [Muslim Book 40, Chapter 01, Hadith # 6779].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 33. “and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at! (The day of Resurrection)" The way to Hell is littered with these evils. When a person crosses them, it is an indication that he has entered into Hell. On the other side exists a series of grief’s and calamities, Islamic injunctions and obligations (the compliance with which is often irksome for man) impede his way to Jannah. When a person endures them with patience he, in fact, overcomes those obstacles and becomes eligible for Jannah. 

[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 032

৩২. যখন বলা হত, আল্লাহর ওয়াদা সত্য এবং কেয়ামতে কোন সন্দেহ নেই,  তখন তোমরা বলতে আমরা জানি না কেয়ামত কি ? আমরা কেবল ধারণাই করি এবং এ বিষয়ে আমরা নিশ্চিত নই।

Ayat 32. And when it was said: "Verily! Allah’s Promise is the truth, and there is no doubt about the coming of the Hour (the day of Resurrection)," you said; "We know not what is the Hour (the day of Resurrection), we do not think it but as a conjecture, and we have no firm convincing belief (therein)."

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 30. 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. The attainment and satisfaction of all hopes and desires; the reaching of the final goal of Bliss.

Hazrat Abu Barzah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Man's feet will not move on the Day of Resurrection before he is asked about his life, how did he consume it, his knowledge, what did he do with it, his wealth, how did he earn it, and how did he dispose of it, and about his body, how did he wear it out.'' [At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2417].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 32. “"Verily! Allah’s Promise is the truth, and there is no doubt about the coming of the Hour (the day of Resurrection),"

1. This Hadith first of all highlights the importance and value of this transitory life, every breath of which is invaluable. Not a moment of it should, therefore, be wasted in the disobedience of Allah because one shall also be made to account for it.

2. Man shall also be answerable for his knowledge. Here, we find an inducement for acquiring religious knowledge because that alone is beneficial for him. He should make use of his knowledge for winning the pleasure of Allah. If he does not do that then he must think about the justification for not doing so. He must also think how he would be facing Allah on the Day of Resurrection.

3. The question in respect of wealth raised in this Hadith clearly shows that one should earn wealth by legitimate means only and spend it strictly in a lawful manner. If he takes to unfair means of income or squanders it, he will be sinful and required to account for the violation of the Divine injunctions.

4. One should protect his body from everything that is unlawful and force himself to submit to the Divine injunctions. When he is asked to account for neglecting them, it will be difficult for him to escape the consequences of accountability.

In short, this Hadith makes one conscious of the accountability so that one keeps it all the time in view so that he will be saved from humiliation on the Day of Resurrection. How nice would it really be if one bears the accountability of the Day of Resurrection always in mind!

[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 031

৩১. আর যারা কুফর করেছে, তাদেরকে জিজ্ঞাসা করা হবে, তোমাদের কাছে কি আয়াতসমূহ পঠিত হত না?  কিন্তু তোমরা অহংকার করছিলে এবং তোমরা ছিলে এক অপরাধী সম্প্রদায়।

Ayat 31. But as for those who disbelieved (it will be said to them): "Were not Our Verses recited to you? But you were proud & arrogant, and you were a people who were Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals)."

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 30. 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. The attainment and satisfaction of all hopes and desires; the reaching of the final goal of Bliss.

Hazrat Salamah bin Al-Akwa` (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Man continues to display haughtiness and arrogance until he is recorded among the arrogant and will be therefore afflicted with what afflicts them.''  [At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2000].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 31. But as for those who disbelieved (it will be said to them): "Were not Our Verses recited to you? But you were proud & arrogant” To adopt the habits and manners of good people is deemed to be desirable. But, on the contrary, to take to the bad ways of bad people is considered undesirable. A man will ultimately be counted among those people whom he will take as a model to emulate, because he is gradually fitted into their framework and assimilates all of their qualities. Quite naturally then retribution will be administered to him accordingly.

[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 030

৩০. যারা বিশ্বাস স্থাপন করেছে ও সৎকর্ম করেছে, তাদেরকে তাদের পালনকর্তা স্বীয় রহমতে দাখিল করবেন।  এটাই প্রকাশ্য সাফল্য।

Ayat 30. Then, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy. That will be the evident success.

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 30. Then, as to those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy that will be the Achievement(4768) for all to see. The attainment and satisfaction of all hopes and desires; the reaching of the final goal of Bliss.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah, the Exalted, says: 'I have no reward other than Jannah for a believing slave of Mine who remains patient for My sake when I take away his beloved one from among the inhabitants of the world". [Al-Bukhari Book 08, Chapter 76, Hadith # 432].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 30. Then, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds” Child, wife and parents, etc., are the dearest people to everyone. It is a great sign of Faith to accept their death as the Will of Allah, to bear their loss with patience. Wailing and saying nonsense things show weakness of Faith. The reward of patience on such tragedies is Jannah while the result of impatience is displeasure of Allah.

[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 029

২৯. আমার কাছে রক্ষিত এই আমলনামা তোমাদের সম্পর্কে সত্য কথা বলবে।  তোমরা যা করতে আমি তা লিপিবদ্ধ করতাম।

Ayat 29. This Our Record speaks about you with truth. Verily, We were recording what you used to do (i.e. Our angels used to record your deeds).

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 29. "This Our Record speaks about you with truth: For We were wont to put on Record all that ye did." Cf. 43:80. Nothing misses the Recording Angel, and whatever is said in the Record is true. As mentioned in Surah Kahf “And the Book (of Deeds) will be placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in great terror because of what is (recorded) 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. Personal responsibility, for all deeds in this life, will then be enforced. But it will be done with perfect justice. Expressed in the forms of this world, it will amount to a clear statement of all we did in this life: the record will be put before us to convince us. As it will be a perfect record, with no omissions and no wrong entries, it will be perfectly convincing. Where there is punishment, it has been earned by the wrongdoer's own deeds, not imposed on him unjustly.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, recited, "That Day it (the earth) will reveal its news (about all that happened over it of good or evil).'' (99:4). Then he [SAWW](PBUH) inquired, "Do you know what its news are?'' He was told: "Allah and His Messenger know better". He said, "Its news is that it shall bear witness against every slave man and woman they did on its back. It will say: `You did this and this on such and such day.' Those will be its news.''  [At-Tirmidhi, Hadith # 2429]

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 29. This Our Record speaks about you with truth. Verily, We were recording what you used to do (i.e. Our angels used to record your deeds)” It has stern warning for people that however they may try to hide their sins from others, they will not be able to save themselves from Allah and His system of accountability. This Hadith makes evident the perfect Omnipotence of Allah by telling us that He will bestow power of speech on the earth and it will bear witness to the acts committed on its surface. It’s very easy for us the modern human to understand with technology at its peak, as Hadith says `"You did this and this on such and such day" recording of each action via CCTV and other source of surveillance Camera recording, each and every move made by us, the earth bear witness against us It will say: `You did this and this on such and such day.

[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 028

২৮. আপনি প্রত্যেক উম্মতকে দেখবেন নতজানু অবস্থায়। প্রত্যেক উম্মতকে তাদের আমলনামা দেখতে বলা হবে। তোমরা যা করতে, অদ্য তোমারদেরকে তার প্রতিফল দেয়া হবে।

Ayat 28. And you will see (on Day of Resurrection) each nation humbled to their knees (kneeling), each nation will be called to its Record (of deeds). This Day you shall be recompensed for what you used to do.

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 28. And thou wilt 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! Bowing the knee: the key phrase of the Surah, and its title, Cf. 19:72. Whatever the arrogance of the wicked may be in this life, whatever exclusive sects and divisions they may form in this life, the time will come when they will humbly submit and bow the knee of the Truth. Before the Judgment Seat, when their Record is produced, they must necessarily be dumb.

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Among the inmates of Hell, a person who had led the most luxurious life in this world will be brought up on the Day of Resurrection and dipped in the Fire and will be asked: `O son of Adam! Did you ever experience any comfort? Did you happen to get any luxury?' He will reply: `By Allah, no, my Rubb.' And then one of the people of Jannah who had experienced extreme misery in the life of this world will be dipped in Jannah. Then he will be asked: `O son of Adam! Did you ever experience any misery? Did you ever encounter difficulty?' He will say: "By Allah, no my Rubb, I neither experienced misery nor passed through hardship".

[Muslim Book 39, Chapter 11, Hadith # 6738].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 28. “This Day you shall be recompensed for what you used to do" This Hadith also induces one to work for the life of the Hereafter, as the amenities of this world which one strives hard to attain, and for which one violates the injunctions of Shari`ah, will be forgotten with a glimpse of the Hell-fire. Therefore, the sensible course is that one should adopt a way of life which is full of true faith and good deeds so that one becomes eligible for the eternal blessings and joys of the life of the Hereafter.

[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 027

২৭. নভোমন্ডল ও ভূ-মন্ডলের রাজত্ব আল্লাহরই।  যেদিন কেয়ামত সংঘটিত হবে, সেদিন মিথ্যাপন্থীরা ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হবে।

Ayat 27. And to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And on the Day that the Hour will be established, on that Day the followers of falsehood (polytheists, disbelievers, worshippers of false deities, etc.) shall lose (everything).

 Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 27. To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and the Day that the Hour of Judgment is established,- that Day will the dealers in Falsehood perish! These vain wranglers about the future life and deniers of the Truth may have a run in this fleeting world; but the moment the world of Reality is established, they will see what they now deny. The facts will destroy their fancies, and they themselves will find themselves humiliated and lost, for having deliberately ignored Allah's Signs and acted in opposition to His Holy Will.

Hazrat Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah, the Exalted, and Glorious, said; 'O My slaves, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any man of you, that would not increase My domain a thing. O My slaves, were the first of you, and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any man of you, that would not decrease My domain in a thing.''.  [Muslim Book 032, Chapter 13, Hadith # 6246].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 27. And to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth" This Hadith mentions the Power and Majesty of Allah and stresses that one should supplicate Allah for everything that one needs. From guidance to sustenance, the treasures of everything are with Him - the treasures which are unlimited and any withdrawal from them does not make any reduction in them. Similar is the case of His Sovereignty; it is not affected even if the whole universe supports or opposes them. Thus, it is in the interest of man that he should dedicate himself entirely to Allah and beg all his needs from Him and Him Alone.

[45]. Surah Al-Jathiyah [The Kneeling]: Ayat 026

২৬. আপনি বলুন, আল্লাহই তোমাদেরকে জীবন দান করেন, অতঃপর মৃত্যু দেন,  অতঃপর তোমাদেরকে কেয়ামতের দিন একত্রিত করবেন, যাতে কোন সন্দেহ নেই। কিন্তু অধিকাংশ মানুষ বোঝে না।

Ayat 26. "Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not.    

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 26. Say: "It is Allah Who gives you life, then gives you death; then He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment about which there is no doubt": But most men do not understand. 

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Between the two Blowing of the Trumpet there will be an interval of forty.'' The people said, "O Abu Hurairah! Do you mean forty days?'' He said, "I cannot say anything.'' They said, "Do you mean forty years?'' He said, "I cannot say anything.'' They said, "Do you mean forty months?'' He said, "I cannot say anything. The Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) added: `Everything of the human body will perish except the last coccyx bone (end part of the spinal cord), and from that bone Allah will reconstruct the whole body. Then Allah will send down water from the sky and people will grow like green vegetables'.''  [Al-Bukhari Book 06, Chapter 60, Hadith # 457].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 26. "Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection"

1. When Israfil blows the Trumpet the first time, by Allah's Leave, all those who are in the heavens and on earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah will. This will be the first Blowing. Then, it will be blown a second time, they will become alive and will emerge from their graves. These Blowings are known as the `Blowings of Fainting and Rising'. As regard the interval between these two Blowings, the narrator of the narration, Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him), could not say anything when he was asked about it; as he himself did not know it. But in other narrations the interval has been mentioned as forty years.

2. The earth eats away the whole body of humans except the bodies of the Prophets. However, only the end part of the spinal cord remains intact. How it remains intact is known to Allah, but from it mankind will be created again.

3. Bodies will rise from the earth as vegetation springs out from the earth after the rainfall.
