[52] Surah At-Tur [The Mount]: Ayat 042-044

৪২. না তারা চক্রান্ত করতে চায়?  অতএব যারা কাফের, তারই চক্রান্তের শিকার হবে।

৪৩. না তাদের আল্লাহ তা’আলা ব্যতীত কোন উপাস্য আছে? তারা যাকে শরীক করে, আল্লাহ তা’আলা তা থেকে পবিত্র।

৪৪. তারা যদি আকাশের কোন খন্ডকে পতিত হতে দেখে, তবে বলে এটা তো পুঞ্জীভুত মেঘ।  

Ayat 42. Or do they intend a plot (against you)? But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) are themselves in a plot!

Ayat 43. Or have they an ilah (a god) other than Allah? Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partners (to Him)

Ayat 44. And if they were to see a piece of the heaven falling down, they would say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!"

Tafseer of Surah At-Tur (The Mount) Ayat 42. Or do they intend a plot (against thee)? But those who defy Allah are themselves involved in a Plot! Shallow men who plot against Good are themselves the willing victims of insidious plots laid by Evil. 43. Or have they a god other than Allah. Exalted is Allah far above the things they associate with Him! This is the final and decisive question: Is there really any god other than Allah the One True God? Every argument points to the negative. A series of questions has been asked pointing to the negative of the superstitions of the godless. The gospel of Unity, Revelation, and the Hereafter had thus been preached by a searching examination of the position of the Unbelievers. And the Surah ends with an exhortation to leave alone those who will not believe because they wish not to believe, and to let Time work out the web and pattern of Allah's Plan. 44. Were they to see a piece of the sky falling (on them), they would (only) say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!" In 26:187, Shuayb, the Prophet of Allah, is challenged by the Companions of the Wood "to cause a piece of sky to fall on us, if thou art truthful." Such a challenge, in some form or other, is addressed to all Prophets of Allah. It is mere defiance. It has no meaning. If a piece of the sky were to fall on them, it would not convince them, for they would only say: "These are only clouds gathered in heaps." They do not wish to believe. Otherwise there are ample Signs and Evidences of Allah's Plan in Creation and in man's own heart. 

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) used to say when he was in distress: "La ilaha illallahul-Azimul-Halim. La ilaha illallahu Rabbul-`Arshil-`Azim. La ilaha illallahu Rabbus-samawati, wa Rabbul-ardi, wa Rabbul-`Arshil-Karim. (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah the Incomparably Great, the Compassionate. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah the Rubb of the Mighty Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah the Rubb of the heavens, the Rubb of the earth, and the Rubb of the Honorable Throne).''  [Al-Bukhari Book 08, Chapter 75, Hadith # 357]

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah At-Tur Ayat 42. Or do they intend a plot (against you)? But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) are themselves in a plot!" The only medicine in a time of distress is the remembrance of Allah Whose Help alone should be sought. This Dua contains words which glorify Allah and exalt Him far above all else. It is desirable to recite these words when one is in distress as this is exactly what the Prophet (PBUH) used to recite in such situations.
