Ayat 6. And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen.

Ayat 7. By the heaven full of paths,

Ayat 8. Certainly, you have different ideas (about Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH) and the Qur’an).

Ayat 9. Turned aside therefrom (i.e. from Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH) and the Qur’an) is he who is turned aside (by the Decree and Preordainment of Allah).

Tafseer of Surah Adh-Dhariyat Ayat 5 to 9. Verily that which ye are promised is true; That which ye are promised: the Promise of Allah about Mercy and Forgiveness to the Penitent, and Justice and Penalty to the Rebellious; the promise of the Hereafter; the promise that all does not end here, but that there is a truer and more lasting world to come, for which this is but a preparation. 6. And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass. Din=the giving to each person his precise and just due; this is implied in Judgment and Justice. All the inequalities of this life are to be redressed. 7. By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths, The study of the numerous regular orbits of the planets and irregularly regular orbits of comets, and the various motions, visible or invisible, of the fixed stars or revolving stars, form in themselves a network of knowledge or science, of a highly technical nature; the highest astronomy or mathematics can only barely reach its fringe. But these have all a fixed Plan and Purpose under Allah's Dispensation. In them variety leads to Unity. In contrast look at the confused medley of doctrines, views, and dicta put forward by the Sceptics, as described in the next verse. 8. Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant, Qawl = saying, word, theory, doctrine. Mukhtalif= differing, various, inconsistent with itself, discordant. No theory or doctrine based on a denial of a Hereafter can be consistent with spiritual facts as we know them, or with Allah's Goodness, Justice, and Mercy. 9. Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded. Some Commentators draw from this a rigid doctrine of Calvinistic Predestination or Determinism, which I do not think is fairly deducible from the words. "Yu'fak" should I think be translated "will be or would be deluded", meaning "have the wish or desire to be", and not "must necessarily be deluded by eternal predestination". The word occurs in many places in the Qur'an: e.g., Cf. 5:75, or 9:30.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) used to observe Itikaf every year (during Ramadan) for ten days; in the year in which he passed away, he observed Itikaf for twenty days.[Al-Bukhari Book 03, Chapter 33, Hadith # 260].

Lesson: “Our beloved Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH) were preparing himself for meeting with Allah (SWT) and We learn from these Ahadith that the observance of Itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan is Sunnah of the Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH). But it can be done only in mosque not at home. Itikaf helps to enhance one's spiritual growth and to strive hard to worship Allah better as there is nothing to distract one's attention from this noble pursuit.
